Ready or not He is coming - Bro Ethan Roadcap 4-26-2024

Okay, youth, pastor pastor, for this opportunity to stand behind the sacred

best, I do count it an honor. And if you'd have your Bible,

you could be turned to Revelations twenty two. Well, yeah, yeah,

Revelations twenty two and twelve says and behold, I come quickly, and

my reward is with me to give every man according to his words shall be

none will be all My reading right now, it's pastor word being God the

glory. And our text is found in a New Testament book of the Bible.

It's the last book of the Bible. It was written by John.

And we see how John wrights behold and behold, I come quickly. This

is written and read. The Lord would have spaked this. And we know

the Bible is written by holy Man of God, so we know John would

have been telling you. We'd have been writing down exactly what the Lord would

have said. Behold, I come quickly, And what I want to bring

out is my reward is with me to get to according to his works.

Would mean it doesn't matter what you've done, if you work for the devil

or God, whichever one, that's what that's what you're going to receive.

It's a reward. The people in the world has a reward. They do,

but it's not the reward that we get as children of God. The

Bible says in Galatians six and seven, for God be not deceived, for

God is not bocked whatsoever, and man so and that shall he also read.

So if you've we found we know. In another place it says as

you some like paraphrasing, if you if you break to the wind, or

so does wind, you reap the whirlwind? And well we God is coming

back and he will. Will you he's going to God's coming back? Will

you be able to recognize him when he comes? He in another place in

the Bible, I know it says he's coming with a great noise, But

will you be able to recognize what's actually happening? We gotta be ready,

because if I were to title this, I feel like the Lord gave me

ready or not Here I come, ready or not here I come. If

you're not ready, there's authors you can be ready, but ready or not

here I come. Behold, I come quickly. And we know if you've

sown whatever you've sawn that you've shown, lady laziness, you're gonna read the

lack of food or money for food. If you song good things, if

you saw a work ethic, if you song praise to the Lord, if

you've given him everything, then he's going to give you something in return.

If you've sown laziness, sre sin, or something in your life, you're

going to reap. You're going to reap hell. And Hell's not a place

where we really want to go. Whatever you've sawn, it's not really something

to play around. I can't stress it enough. If you've sown something that

sin or anything in your life, seeds are what brother Samiel was just talking

about. If you've sown the devil's the weight and the sin. If you

sol a wait in your life, maybe it's not sin. Maybe it's just

something that's holding you back from giving God praise. If it's something that's just

keeps you anchored your seat, if you go. If you've installed a seatbelt

on your church, to you that awake, and whenever you have a vehicle

and they put a seatbelt on it, it's away. It's something to keep

you in the vehicle in case of an accident. We find in first Feeder

it says be sober be villaging, because your adversary, the devil, as

a roaring line walking about seeking whom he may devour. The devil is looking

for a chance to attack, and if you give him some, if you

give him that chance, he's gonna take you. First Corinthians ten and thirteen.

There is no temptation taken you, but such as is common to man.

Paul's right there. It is common to man. That means you're not

the only one that's getting tempted with that trouble as over here, You're not

only You're not the only one that's been tempted this to not get out of

bed in the morning. It's a temptation that's common to man. But God

is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted. Above that,

he with that he are able to bear. But will, but will with

the temptation also make a way of escape. He's up before he even gave

you the temptation, he made a way of escape. Maybe the escape was

maybe our pastor God off a preacher sermon or so good. He's all already

provided the escape that you may be able to bear it. The devil cannot

make you sin. God allows the temptation he gave God allowed you to be

tempted to strengthen your faith. It is important, really that it is very

important that you read and pray that you'd have the shield of faith put on

the whole armor of God. But you have to have the shield of faith,

though, that you may quench the fire he darts of the wicked,

the temptations that he's gonna throw your way. Because he's not throwing temptations your

way, you already fail to what he's already. You've already failed to one

temptation. If he's already, if he's not messing with you, if he's

not trying to temptate, it's not. If he's not trying to tempt you,

if he's not trying to get you, he's already got you. If

he's not trying to get you, he's already got you. The Bible says

in Second Peter three and ten, But the day of the Lord is But

the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in

which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall

melt with the fervent heat. The earth also, and the works that are

therein shall be burnt up. It's what we sow on the earth. If

what we've sown in our spirit, what we've sown in here is what we're

going to reap down there or up there, what we've sown here we've given

the Lord here, what we've not given the Lord here, that's what we're

gonna That's what's what you're gonna miss or what you're gonna get. If you've

it's be there's nothing here therein will shall be burnt up. Your car,

all that stuff means nothing. Your house, the building was all going to

be gone, everything, it all shall pass away when the Lord comes,

ready or not, he's coming. It's very important that we are ready.

I think we will be said about most of our holiness at Pentecostal churches today

in the world they weren't ready because ready or not, he was coming.

So if you're ready, I can't stress it enough. If you're ready,

we know where we're going. We get life everlasting. Do you realize just

how long eternity is? If you ever think really how long eternity is,

our minds can't grasp it, how how long eternity really is. And if

you're not ready, ready or not, he's coming. If you're not ready,

do you know, do you realize just how long you're gonna be down

there? It's a it's a never ending fallen burn that the torment, it's

never ending, never ending. Ready or not, he's coming. If you

just realized just how long eternity is. Eternity is way too long to be

wrong. Eternity is too long to just hold on, hold on to that

one way. What is it worth so much to you? Anyway? That

one way? It's it's not worth it. Really, it's not if you

think it's just how long you're gonna be down there, it's a never ending

fall, that one sin. If you don't get forgiveness from it, it's

what what is it? What is it profit you? Just to have that

one little way? I can do this and you can't. No, you

can't. You're not cann't buy with it. I can, I can,

I can go out and do whatever I want. No, you can't.

It turned, he's too long, dune. Just have that one thing,

maybe an alf for your fall, just just some one little thing. It

turned, he's too long. I always want to check myself and have the

Lord check me, because that one thing. It doesn't matter who you are.

One thing. God can't have that wait in heaven. He can't have

it in heaven. That's his place. It's a holy place. It's for

only holy people. I want to be ready because ready or not, my

Lord's coming. I can truthfully say it's been just a little over a year

now. I think it's February the fourth made a year that I truly got

ready. I truly got ready. February the fourth of twenty twenty two,

No, twenty twenty three. I made sure that I made my call on

election. Sure. I made sure that I would be ready. It was

something that Pastor said just prior the night we were closing out. He said

something. He said, bring your passport. Yeah. It scared me half

to death. I admit it. It scared me half to death because I

knew if God came back, I didn't have my passport, I didn't have

my ticket. I was gonna have gate trouble when I got there. I

knew it. February the third, I didn't have my passport. But February

the fourth, about nine too, I think it was. I made sure

I got my passport. I made sure I made my calling and let you

sure. I made sure that ready or not he was coming, I was

gone. I made sure when he'd split the Eastern sky, I was going

up there with him, and I was gonna be ab to praise him for

the list of returnet. Do you do you realize if you don't like praising

God right now, you ain't gonna lie killing the you don't like getting up

right now, then you don't lie. You like your sheep back big,

like your way up man. You're not gonna like Kevin. Maybe not plan

to you, maybe never even has to go in my mansion because I don't

need it. The thing that then I get a sick beside my Jesus,

I didn't really out his feet, though I get to cast my crowd.

I gonna tak him talking to you. The god we all have sin and

comes trying the glory of God. The thing that he could have thrown us

all away a long time ago, good thing he could have He could have

quit on us long time ago. Do whenever we weren't ready, whenever he

could have came, maybe whenever he could have said, well, my church's

gone through enough now, maybe he could have took your life in an automobile

accident or something, and that whatever he did to get your attention, you

heeded it because he wanted. He always gives us an opportunity. One thing

that's will be said at judgment is every last one of us had the opportunity,

every last one of us. If you go to Hell, it's your

fault if you go If you go to Hell, it's your fault, because

he's given every last one of us a chance, a way of estate.

Because I remember, how could I go back? How could you go back?

If you think about going back once you've had this right, once you've

got a taste of it. I think for the person who has had a

taste of it, Heaven's gonna or Hell's going to be harder. Because if

you think the rich man who went to Hell, I'm tormented at this flame.

Maybe every last one of us haven't a different flame heat. Maybe some

of us has had the opportunity, so we've gotta heat it up, Horner

for you. God's coming back, And if he don't come back right now,

maybe he won't come back in this week or next week, but one

day he's coming back. But just because it maybe later doesn't mean we're not

promised tomorrow. We're not promised tomorrow because maybe you maybe you don't get a

if to be first. To be honest, I would love to go up

in the rapture, but maybe I don't have that chance. Maybe next service

or something's gonna be my last chance to make sure I'm ready. Maybe this

service is the last chance to make sure you're ready. He's ready or not.

He's going, he's coming, and I'm a going. But things,

this is all I mean, that's you. Thankful for the word of God

denied the man, thank you for brother Ethan they married, wants to keep

his atmosphere. We feel that standard this time. And then the Bible says

it's appointed and the man wants to die. And then and then it is

an appointment for all humanity or aunt to everyone that was ever born to still

be living, and we'd all be waiting on man. But ready or not

for you, and could be a whole different time than ready for the pride

of Christ or ready for someone. A man that that isn't isn't even associated

with your a situation. And God has given us all an opportunity, a

chance a man praise God, and I thank God for another opportunity to di

and I hope he would take it seriously. And the bride in Christ,

God's coming for it. A man, a bride just like the when he

left, will hurt us so often he said. Amen. And if you're

not a bride like the when he left and the Amen, he may be

in a situation where you're bother. Bet Man, we don't want have been

any one of the Bible said. God isn't willing in any for perish and

man, this is why he's tear. He's like he does, why he

waste. The Bible says he's long suffering. Hemember. There does come a

point in time when God says nothing in earth, and then God says,

they've been mercy in that person's life. Amen, it's a terminator their appointment.

They been their appointment. Praise God. And there's appointments we like to

keep. There's appointments we don't have to keep, but we do. A

man and his pastor so often says or Amen, that's an apportment we all

have to keep. A man we can't they ment, Amen, miss that

appointment, Oh God, a man, we've had them young. The men

find their time, Amen, and come to an end. We've had them

old, and we've had newborns, and that hundred year old in the Bible

that tells us of those even the wonders of years. And then when everyone

had an appointment, and man, that is a surety. And man,

if you would, amen, let's go to night and don't be understand,

let's coming. Man. If you feel like you're not ready, amen,

let's get ready. Man. There is a simple way to do this.

The man the Bible says, you must acknowledge him in your sins. You

must confess to him, and you must believe the man that Jesus can't save

you, a man you must call him the name of Jesus. Amen,

tonight is that simple man even when he's got a passport ready for you,

A man he's got forgiveness ready. I man, none of us have gone

to fall tonight. That's God. Man. The Bible says, we mustn't

all sick email with a trust grow salvation of a dry beat him in those

areas will be when we each o think nine crown, when Jesus stone step

side on a cloud of call, it's two dread. Then a shower beat

him, and then new sammy man will be badly staying, and the mid

rise Seesus go again with jez a step side all the cloud to call his

jew dread. The dead in the class will ride to be in the dim.

Those that remained well even leave said at the bed, hide a ride,

and Jesus comes the game. H M. Well, I'm looking for

Jesus Us to come any night or any d I'm looking for him to come
