Awakening to God's Warnings: A Call to Action

"Amos 7 14 says this and I say this about myself Amos answered as he was speaking to the crowds and to the people and to the cynics he said I was neither a prophet nor the son of a prophet but I was a Shepherd I am not a prophet I am a Shepherd that's all I am but as a Shepherd there has sometimes the shepherd could see things that are coming and an enemy that may be coming to infiltrate and some of you I think after today I'm just going to warn you so you will not offend us some of you after today you will leave this church you will just go let's get to a better place let's get a nicer pastor and let's find something else by the end of this service but I think most of you will bear witness with your heart and soul it's something I've carried with me for about four months three or four months and I'll explain to you what the Holy Spirit has spoken to me and has matured inside of me if you're new here today don't turn me off just yet I think God may be speaking is's going to speak to you some of you going like head for the doors and get your parking ticket out because but but bear with me I'll I'll I'll show you through scripture what God is saying I'll show you through the scripture because that's what you want let me just tell you this if you're new to church you want to find a place that preaches this that preaches this that's the main thing and I'll show you through scripture that everything I said is verified through this book I'll show it to you let's pray father I feel so inadequate to share what you have put on my heart and what you have been maturing and even and even uh tweaking and and and getting to the spot that it's supposed to be and Lord I know that this is the day God I I try to get out of this with you I've said this is baptism Sunday there'll be visitors let me let me say something happy and rejoicing today but God you wouldn't let this go and father I thank you that that my heart my heart just simply wants to say thank you for speaking thank you for that we serve a living God thank thank you that God is alive even though we may see problems across this world and issues father from the Middle East to Europe and father things that could be happening in Asia right now father we and even on our own borders God we have we are facing situations that God this world can change even before we get to the new year but God we are a people that trust you even as David says my heart and my flesh May Fail but God is is the strength of my heart so Lord let this word God let it bring soberness but God also let it bring a hope we will rejoice at the end we will rejoice to know God Is With Us in jesus' name and everybody said amen God bless you you may be seated" [00:02:21]

"1995 I was reminded as I was just preparing uh an American Airlines flight 995 965 crashed into a Mountain literally an entire airplane crashed into the mountains of Colombia killing all 151 passengers and eight crew members the passengers were returning to Colombia for their Christmas holidays in December and it was during a storm and the weather had hid the mountain from Plain Sight but usually that is not a problem for those that would sit in the cockpit and there's a an instrument there called the ground proximity warning system the ground proximity warning system and it warned the pilots that the terrain was coming and you it was these words that they would hear pull up pull up terrain terrain pull up and 12 seconds later the plane ran into the side of a mountain killing everyone on board the warning system saw what the people did not and when the rescue cre Crews discovered all the wreckage of the flight they found as they always do the flight recorder they call it the black box and they wanted to see if there was a malfunction in The Radars if there was a malfun an instrument malfunction and they realized that there wasn't because this was the voice that they heard on the black box when it was warning the gpw was warning pull up pull up and for some reason the pilot said shut up Gringo shut up and 12 seconds later it ran into the side of a mountain they heard the warning but failed to yield they heard the words pull up and the message today may be for many of you watching from around the country and around the world this may be gpw for you this may be the warning system and some of you will walk out but I think some I think most of you will pull up and go God we want to hear what you're saying to us today" [00:05:26]

"some years ago I took a ride a 2 and 1 half hour drive that I'll make this week um with the founder of this ministry David Wilkerson as we were driving up to the Bible School Summit we'll be taking over the worldwide prayer meeting this Wednesday night and as David Wilkerson who's not only founded this church but Teen Challenge as we were driving up towards Hershey Pennsylvania I asked brother Dave as he was always known as brother Dave a question I said brother Dave I said when you've preached at times about things that you see coming and what you see possibly could be happening to America I said you seem to use prophetic books in Old Testament books that are speaking many times to that moment to that time but yet you associate it with what's happening here today and his answer to me was profound and it is something that I held near and dear to my heart and especially with what I've sense today and what I want to show you through the scriptures from that meeting and this is what brother Dave said to me he said history is cyclical he said those prophecies can speak to a specific Nation but he said said but because history is cyclical God will send similar blessing and judgment upon a society in a country when they either turn to God or turn from God God will always deal he said consistently with people and Nations like he has had throughout history let me say it to you this way this is the way I've I I could best way I could say it history is cyclical because sin is predictable men are sick Sinners we are sinners and because of the sin that happens it's easy to see what goes on and what I want to share with you is started in my spirit back in June of 2023 when I walked outside of our church to meet a New York City pastor and was struck by an eerie Orange Sky in New York City as that looked like a bomb has fallen in New York City for those that don't remember this it was the Canadian fires that swept over New York City how many remember what that looked like here you walked out and I watched people like I walked out into a science fiction movie do you talk about people were stunned and fear they left their home with clear skies and all of a sudden everything turned orange in the sky I had people stopping me and asking me are is this the end is what they were asking and and at that moment God began to move upon my heart and said basically this is what happens that I will suddenly come and stop people in their tracks for what I'm about to do" [00:07:27]

"when you say the name Jonah immediately we associate him with what a whale a fish but that was just a detour in his disobedient life he really should be associated with one of the most incredible revivals in human history his assignment was to preach to go and rep preach repent to one of the most at this time one of the most violent and barbaric groups of all time called the Assyrians historians say that they were the ultimate barbarians and God was going to judge them and really for a moment Jonah was going to be the last straw before judgment before their Sky would turn that Eerie orange but this is what happened when Jonah went to preach listen to this the Bible says In Jonah 3 it says that Jonah obeyed the word of the Lord and went to Nineveh now Nineveh was a very large city it took three days to go through it Jonah began by going a Day's Journey Into the City proclaiming 40 more days and Nineveh will be overthrown the ninevites believed God a fast was proclaimed and all of them all of them don't miss that word because we'll know what all means in just a few moments from the greatest to the least put on sackcloth when Jonah's warning reached the king of Nineveh he rose from his throne took off his Royal robes covered himself with sackcloth sat down in the dust and this is the proclamation he issued in Nineveh by the decree of the king and his Nobles do not let people or animals herds or flocks taste anything the animals were fasting is what this says you know we can't get humans to fast the animals were fasting do not let them eat or drink but let people and animals be covered with sackcloth let everyone call urgently on God let them give up their evil ways and their violence who knows God May yet relent and with compassion turned from his Fierce anger so that we will not perish when God saw what they did and how they turned from their evil ways he relented and did not bring on them the destruction that he had threatened folks this is an amazing Revival the Revival of Nineveh doesn't get this talked about as much as really one of the most epic events of an entire city turning to God and in fact don't miss this the next chapter in Jonah 4:11 tells you the number of what the word all meant 120,000 people turned to Christ that day 120,000 a preaching came repentance came Brokenness came from the leadership all the way down and a Revival hit the city but because history is cyclical and because sin is predictable that's why today this has become such a burden upon my heart and that's why the book of nahm has great importance to us right now and for us that I'm going to speak to not only in this country but for the countries that are watching from the UK and different countries that are watching from Africa and those that are watching over Europe and especially even down in Central and South America Jonah and the Book of nahem are not only connected but they are current to us today and I'm going to show you this I'm going to show you why that conversation that I had with David Wilkerson really led me to this moment Jonah and nahem are not only connected but they are current how can a nation that has known God's blessing Jonah chapter 3 come under God's judgment how can a nation that has known God's blessing come under God's judgment and that's why I believe and I'm just going to say this to you I believe a storm is coming to our nation a Storm is Coming to America I dare say that very few people have ever heard a sermon from the little book of nahem but today will be your first the book of naham is a remarkable prophecy and it's one theme don't miss this because you have to hear this right now the book of nahem is one theme judgment is coming to Nineveh that was it I read you the Revival that came to Nineveh and nahm is speaking about a judgment that is coming to that Nation the Revival city a city that experienced Revival and God's blessing is now going to come under God's judgment the prophecy of nahem at that moment was really part of my question has already been fulfilled but how can this book be meaningful to us does naam even have a message for us today or is it just part for some of us here part of a Bible reading program to get through the 66 books of the Bible the remarkable thing about the word of God is that no matter where we turn in these saturated Pages by the Holy Spirit there is always a message for us there's always something that God wants to speak to us and this is the way nahem starts it says the burden against Nineveh the book of the vision of nahem the elashi now the city of elkosh in was in Assyria and just a few miles outside of Nineveh so in a sense nahem is a prophet in the city of Nineveh whether he rose up during the Revival whether God was using him during the years he was living there and a it was 150 years after Jonah 3 the nin Revival is remarkable because it was 100% of the entire city that turned to God but the question is this how did it work out did it last did this nation become a Godly Nation and the answer is no they didn't in time they went back to their paganism their barbar barbarianism and in time they became as brutal and probably worse what some are thinking as they had ever been before some years ago a United States Senator has stated that the average life of a of a civilization is about 200 years and then he gave the startling the startling steps of the progress of those 200 years of a civilization I want I want you to see them with me this is the progress that this Senator gave the progress of a civilization this is what he says a civilization will go here it comes from bondage to spiritual Faith then from spiritual Faith it'll move into courage and fighting the injustices then from Courage they'll see Liberty take place this is over that 200 year stretch and from Liberty they'll move into abundance we've seen that in our country but he says it's not done says then it will go from abundance to selfishness from selfishness to complacency from complacency to apathy and then apathy back to judgment back to bondage folks let me be clear where are we as a nation I have to tell you we have known we have known a Revival of spiritual Faith this nation has known abundance this is known Liberty and now we're watching this this slide into selfishness apathy and a nation that is now in bondage you're watching this take place folks you may be visiting with us today and going I I I didn't know that churches are supposed to preach this way well if you're in a Bible teaching Church it'll warn you of things that may be coming your way that's what it does this is the and and just stay with me new people just stay with me just because I know that God is going to Bear something with your heart this is the picture of Nineveh that the that progress of a civilization is the picture of Nineveh Nineveh is back in bondage I I have to tell you something I read this morning that just I I almost stepped away from it when in Matthew 12 I didn't even put it on the screen because I just saw it this morning in the scriptures when I was reading this Jesus said he said the the men of Nineveh will stand up with you this is Jesus Matthew 12:41 that the men of Nineveh will stand up with you at the time of judgment will condemn you because they turned to God and changed their way when Moses spoke his message and then right after that I've never seen this before right after that Jesus says this when an evil spirit goes out of a person and looks for a place of rest and can't find any it will go back to the place that it left and when it arrives if it sees the house clean swept but unoccupied we'll call that the presence of Jesus and glorifying God it says it will come back seven times worse folks that's connected with the Nineveh message of Matthew that's Jesus's words they turned to God served God for a period of time and over the years they were right back where they started before and not just right back worse than they were before the destruction of Nineveh according to the details given in the prophecy is astonishing the book of nahem I believe even after talking with brother Dave those years ago is so astonishing and astounding I saw it I saw it like I never saw before that a nation that can experience Revival that can experience outpouring if we don't begin to hold on to God as a nation or or you the UK or you South Africa or you Poland or you Germany that experience the Reformation you will find the enemy coming right back in that's why you have to listen to this today we I speak as a nation here in America has experienced what we call three great Awakenings and a number of outpourings of God's holy spirit where Millions not 120,000 Millions have turned to Christ the first Great Awakening God's swept through the American colonies in the 30s and 40s of the 18th century 1730s and 40s through using the gift of Jonathan Edwards and George Whitfield it was God pouring out bringing a spirit of repentance but God was doing something because he was preparing this nation for freedom and that it we would find our foundations in our founding documents to re go back to who God is that's why when you look at the con Constitution and the Declaration of Independence that has its foundation from the first Great Awakening of what God did then 100 years later the Second Great Awakening started with camp meetings in Cane Ridge and Barton Stone and Moved Through The Years with people like Charles finny with an emphasis of not only winning Souls but an emphasis of traveling and preaching um both men and women at that time and then a third Great Awakening listen to this happened right here in our city right here in New York City downtown in the Wall Street District it was called the Layman's Revival with a man named Joseph Lamere who decided to have a prayer meeting at noon every day down on Wall Street and as a result of that they said at noon every day around the United States a million people would stop and seek the face of God I was reading of the Revival they said as Boats were coming into dock into New York City before it even got here the presence of God would hit the boats and people would start repenting on the boats but that with the three great Awakenings but there was also some significant revivals from isua Street to the Jesus Revolution and others and the question is did the revivals last and where are we as a nation as a result of these outpourings and where are we as a country as a result of three great Awakenings and a number of outpourings and sprinklings in different places that we have seen throughout our history even recently and here's what I want to say to you today today the reason why this question I have to ask this question is because Jonah and nahem will not let us idly sit by listen to me pastors that are watching listen to me preachers that stand In a Pulpit and preach listen to me every evangelist Jonah and nahem cannot let you idly sit by and watch the sky turn red and then wonder what has happened to our country you can't idly read this scripture in Jonah and then go 150 years later and then begin to read what happened to the city that experienced the blessing of God and to see what took place make no mistake make no mistake Times Square Church God is patient but God will not be mocked God is patient but God will not be mocked he says that right from the beginning he says it's a message for Nineveh and then in verse three he says the Lord is slow to anger but he's great in power and will not at all acquit the wicked acquit the Wicked the Lord hath his way in the Whirlwind and in the storm and the cloud speaking of his power and the clouds are the dust beneath his feet and then here's the part I want to give to you it is in nahem 3 that I want to give you the bulk of this this is the part that literally I saw the sky turning red this is where it began to bring a soberness to me and just hold on just give me a few more minutes and I promise you we'll be shouting at the end there'll be a rejoicing so just stay with me before you walk out give me just a few more minutes nahem 3 gives the reasons why he's going to judge this revival Nation this nation that experienced now folks remember this history is cyclical because sin is predictable history is cyclical because the sin of man is predictable here's what he says why he is going to judge listen to nahem 3 here it is woe to Nineveh it's a city of blood full of lies it's crammed with plunder listen hear the crack of the whips as the Chariots Rush forward against her Wheels rumbling horses hooves pounding and chariots clattering as they bump wildly through the streets see the flashing swords and the glittering Spears in the upraised arms of the calvary the dead are lying in the streets bodies heaps of bodies everywhere men stumble over them scramble to their feet and fall again he's talking about a violence that has come back a violence that is allowed to come right back into Nineveh and all this because Nineveh sold herself to the enemies of God the beautiful and faithless City Mistress of deadly charms enticed the nations with their beauty then taught them all to worship her false gods bewitching people everywhere no wonder I stand against you says the Lord Almighty and now all the Earth will see your nakedness and shame I'll cover you with filth and show the world how really vile you are and all who see you will shrink back and horror Nineveh lies in utter Rune yet no one anywhere regrets your fate now watch verse 10 he says in all her great men the men that you were depending upon they're Bound in Chains themselves you will be drunk you'll be hidden you will seek Refuge from the enemy all your strongholds are fig trees with ripened figs if they are shaken they fall to the mouth of the eater what he was saying was your what you have trusted in is so fragile just a little shake and it begins to come apart surely your people in your midst are women the gates of your land are wide open for your enemies fire will devour the bars of your Gates draw your water for The Siege fortify your strongholds go into the clay and tread the mortar make strong the brick Kil there the fire will devour you the sword will cut you off I will eat it will eat you up like a locust make yourself many like Locust make yourself many like the swarming Locust you have multiplied your Merchants more than the stars of heaven but the Locust plunders and F and flies away your commanders are like swarming locusts your generals are like great grasshoppers which camp in the hedges on a cold whole day when the Sun rises to flee in the place where there there is not known and he even speaks to the churches that may have raised up there he says your shepherds are slumbering king of Assyria your Nobles rest in the dust your people are scattered on the mountains and no one gathers them your injury has no healing your wound is severe look what this is what he is saying is come why judgment is coming and what took place for us we look at this and we're going this is like an ancient letter but folks if you can just read and pause at certain sections I saw as I'm reading through this six occurrences in Nineveh that signal judgment for the Revival City that became to like was as if the sky was turning red for me I'm going God I'm watching this take place in the country that I Love Thinking of the veterans that we're celebrating today the men and women that have fought for freedom for this country the men and women that have served and have given laid down years and some of them had to lay down their lives and I'm going God what is taking place in the nation that we love and seeing what's happening and these six things that he says is happening in Nineveh folks it's it it's happening here he says one violence will fill the streets number two he says this city is turning to drunkenness and perversion he said number three no one has any more courage to stand anymore four there comes a flood of Filth he says through your Gates and you don't even stop it number five he says your true leaders are lost and went into hiding when they're needed most you can't even find them and number six he says and the ministers are slumbering leaving the population crippled void and bruised think of this for just a moment Church violence will fill the streets folks I have people that will call me all the time and go we want to come to New York City I've had people going like but can we wear jewelry when we walk the streets of New York or will they rip it off your neck because that's what they're showing on the news folks I'm just telling you that it it is not just New York City it's happening in every city every city violence is filling that you don't even know if you can go out at certain times those who are turning I'm just telling you this I want to be very clear when I say this and listen it let it fall and you know I don't care so let me just say this those those those from higher education those even in government those who are turning against Israel listen to me carefully something deeper is being stated something deeper what they're saying is is we hate what God loves we hate our colleges are saying our universities are saying that we hate what God has put his love upon and then all of a sudden you find that a city turns to drunkenness and perversion I remember as a young man reading Isaiah chapter 5 and reading these words I was it it it had to be almost 30 40 years ago I read these words in Isaiah 5 and it said this there's coming a day it says that good will be called evil and evil good and folks I'm telling you I read that I remember where I was when I read that and I said that's ridiculous folks that's where we live today that's where it is evil is good and good is evil and then there's no courage to stand in fact ladies I'm just reading you what one version says this is not this is please don't take this any other way it just says your men will become as women that's what one version says your men will become as women one of the largest religions in the world has just said we will baptize almost anybody now it doesn't matter they just they literally have no more courage to stand there's coming a flood into your Gates and nobody is stopping it does does anybody is anybody have any more courage to stand and go as as supermarkets now supermarkets now are have a brand new thing called palm recognition you don't even have to pay right down the street here right at Columbus Circle you don't pay with money anymore you pay with your palm now and you put your hand upon it folks you can say whatever you want and if you don't like this preaching there's 20 other churches in New York City go wherever you want folks I'm I'm just telling you I I see something coming something coming trust me I'm not buying groceries with my palm I'm going to tell you that right now I'm not I'm not I'm not going to do it it's just not going to happen come on folks something's happening something's taking place and and let let me because let me just say this true leadership gets lost he says and then he says this the ministers were slumbering and leaving the population to be crippled we're in a moral collapse and a spiritual Landslide and somehow the church has lost an urgency today the Christians most in danger I don't believe is the persecuted Christian it's the slumber ing Christian it's the comfortable Christian and that's why the chief danger of the church today is not that it's is is not instead of turning the world upside down we're finding oursel trying to get on the same side and we have a we have churches today that that are putting all of our hope in we got to get this person elected and this person elected and this per let me help you you've already folks all your hopes and dreams and elections are getting crushed every single election when do you wake up and say it's not this way we don't look to a city made with human hands we have another city that we keep our eyes upon today where Christ is exalted and Christ is King folks I'm telling you I I think to myself today we have people the the Republicans are letting you down the Democrats are letting you down God will never let you down listen to me preachers listen to me for just a moment we have preachers that it's that that the sky is turning red and I and I watch it happen and and and you see it it's it's happening you've got a war in the Middle East you've got a war in Ukraine we were this close to being involved with the war with the Philippines with China as the boats came close to each other and they didn't even know that there was there could have been a war that that would have taken place and on on on the in that moment and and all of a sudden everybody is just on pins and folks we we we don't know what's going to happen by the time we get to the new year and we have we have pulpits that are in instead of preaching this they they they there's it's prophets of Peace they're taking movies and preaching from movies movies they're going this week we're preaching from Barbie and next week we're preaching from Oppenheimer and the week after that mission and preach the Bible preach the Bible stop stop with see you at the movies the church is we're on a moral Landslide and you're going to tell us about the Barbie movie and how that relates to Jesus stop it already be mad at me send all the emails you want send the letters you want withhold your ties from the church but I'm going to warn you of what's coming and what's happening in this nation say whatever you want today listen Jeremiah 23 says this it breaks my heart says the Lord sayso not listen to the words of the prophets who are prophesying to you they're leading you into Prof futility he says they speak a vision but it's from their own imagination it's not from my mouth they keep saying to you they keep saying to those who despise me the Lord has said you'll have peace and as for everyone who walks in the stubbornness of his heart he says Calamity will not come he what he was saying was he'll let people sit in the church living in sin in the stubbornness of their heart and never feeling conviction but who has stood look at the question but who has stood in the counsel of the Lord that he should see and hear and give heed to his word and who was listened behold the storm of the Lord has gone forth a whirling Tempest that's a swirled down the head of the wicked the anger of the Lord will not be turned back until he has performed and carried out the purposes of his heart and in the last days you will clearly understand it I did not send these prophets but they ran I didn't speak to them but they prophesied but if they had stood in my counsel they would have announced my words to the people and they would have turned them back from their evil ways not figuring out how your evil ways work into this book they start to then all of a sudden they start finding ways of beginning to take this book and editing things out so we can begin to have sin come in and all of a sudden we start let let me just finish reading here because I'm getting upset here but I'm not upset listen to what he says he says the prophet who has a dream may relate this dream but let him who has my word speak this is what he said he said says don't listen to The Dreamers listen to the ones that preach the word that's what he says he says let him who has my word speak my word and then he says this what do what does straw have in common with grain we need to we need to be fed from the pulpits he said well you don't want to put straw in your and listen to this then he says this why is this important he says is not my word like fire and like a hammer which shatters rock this word is a fire fire it'll burn through the excuses it will those that are sitting in here today that are the Bible if the Bible is preached it'll come like a hammer and begin to shatter all excuses and he says therefore behold I'm against these prophets declares the Lord who steal my words from each other he says they don't even get messages from me they let let me let me embellish it they listen online to what the next guy is preaching what are they saying let's say that what are they doing and they steal each other's words Nineveh the city that once repented is now disintegrating morally and spiritually Jeremiah 6:17 says I set Watchman over you who warned you listen for the sound of the trumpet it will let you know when Trouble Comes said but there was a people who said no we won't pay attention Billy Graham said this if God doesn't soon bring judgment upon America he'll have to go back and apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah but I say he'll have to go back and apologize to Nineveh he'll have to go back and apologize to Nineveh okay I want you to listen now and then then okay let me finish here and then we're going to then we'll get happy in just a second we just there is a moment that we're going to get happy this is where you you may get upset but just give me a shot before you get angry I can only warn I'm not a prophet I'm just a Shepherd but I'm telling you a storm is coming to this nation and there is coming something to our country and even possibly to New York City that we can't even imagine just last month they picked up 1,500 no fly list people that are trying to get into the country even now they're already reporting that the FBI has picked up even terrorists in our city that are scoping this place out folks listen to me listen to me you don't need a message on Barbie you need to hear this you need to hear this and I'm telling you there's something coming again to this country and there very well could be another terrorist attack that comes that we face in this city there could be something that comes you woke up one morning in February 24th and Putin had invad hated Ukraine you woke up last month on October 7th and Hamas came in and terrorized the just over the border of Gaza and I have a sense that we may wake up one morning and we are getting prepared for what could be coming our way I've talked with Pastor Carter about this Pastor Carter our general overseer said he said Tim I see it he said I see a dark cloud coming and we've got to get ready for it we're even talking our Jersey campus who is watching with us we said we're going to make that Jersey campus a Center that we'll be doing if we have to the city gets shut down we'll film from there we're doing food outreaches from there we're updating the entire Jersey campus to prepare for what's coming this way but listen to me this is not the time to fear and this is not the time to listen to to comfortable prophets it's not the time to fear this is not a vision I've had it's history that speaks to our future let me say that again this is not a vision it's history if it it happened to Nineveh the Revival City our country has experienced Revival and we cannot go this moral landslide that literally begins to call evil good and good evil and not expect God not to intervene in this country and to do so do mark my words folks listen even if this is the last message you hear and walk out of this church then thank God it's the last message you've heard thank God it's the last one you've heard what I've spoken today is is futurist listen some someone gave me a shirt it was someone bought me a t-shirt it was in my office this week and and and this is the way I feel the T-shirt said they said I left me a note they said I saw this and I needed to get it for you and the T-shirt said he bought it on the streets it said I'm not angry I'm just passionate and I'm just telling you next time I preach I think I'm going to wear the T-shirt I'm not I'm not angry I'm not angry I just I have to warn you of what's coming okay here's we're going to end now I just want I just want keyboard all musicians and everybody stay put just uh Barry and Yuka just come for a moment now I want to give you a hope I want to give you hope because what is coming not only so not only sobers me it excites me because I'm more convinced than ever for a billion souls to come to Christ I'm more convinced than ever so here it is what is God asking of us and what is God asking of his church what is God asking here it comes now folks this is it this will be the final thing it it's amazing what what I when I saw this I got excited and I said God first I was just going oh Lord oh God please I can't preach this and then when I saw First Peter chapter 4 I'm telling you I started to get excited for what God is wanting to do in his church again listen to this 1 Peter 4: 7 this this is what Peter says the end of all things is near therefore be of sound judgment sober in

is the kind of church that we're going to listen this is the kind of church that we're going to have Jesus said this and when these things begin begin to come to pass here it is Luke 21:28 when these things begin to come to pass look up and lift up your heads your Redemption is drawing nigh he says we don't we don't look this way we look this way and we say God I got something to be excited about and rejoice about here's what I want to tell you I'll never forget David Wilkerson saying this he talked about when is when Egypt knew judgment was coming and the Israelites were there and he says what I need you to do to be protected is put the blood up upon the doorpost he says that's what you need to do put the blood on the doorpost says judgment is coming he says but I'm going to protect your home I'm going to protect who you are I'm going to protect you and here's and I never forget what David Wilkerson said he said this he Saidi want I want you to see with me two homes with the blood upon the doorposts he said the first home he says they put the blood on the doorpost and they're celebrating the Passover and the children look at the father and say Dad what are we going to do what's going to happen the Death Angel is coming and he said and I could see that father going don't you worry God spoke to us he said if we put the door upon the door the blood on the doorpost and if we begin to celebrate this Passover meal God will deliver us God will be with us and then brother Dave said this he says let me take you to another household and what if you have the blood on the doorpost and then there's a dad who breaks the Passover Lamb and the family's eating and the children go Dad what are we going to do they're screaming in the streets there's things happening all around us and what if that Dad in just doubt and fear looks at his children goes I don't know what's going to happen to us I did what God Said but I don't even know what's going to go on here so and then brother Dave asked this question he says I want to ask you a question which house is more secure the one where there's confidence or the one where there's doubting and fear and then brother Dave said this both of them are protected because it's not them it's the blood of Jesus that's over that household that's why it is that's why we we lift up our hands for our Redemption is drawing n Hallelujah hallelujah oh Hallelujah glory to God folks I I'm I may be sober but I am telling you I'm rejoicing inside of my heart going I am under the blood of Jesus God is with me God is with me now
