open your Bible to Malachi chapter 2 take that back Hagi chapter 2 I want to hopefully read this quickly and then I want to shift gears because I'm trying to share with you where we are on God's time clock there is nothing there's nothing else that we need to see to know that we are at the end of the end time it is it has begun and for us it's imperative that you know this and you see this so that you can have a good understanding of where we sit as a body of Believers as a kingdom really thank you son as a kingdom really so that things can shift in how you live your life because you shouldn't live you shouldn't live the same if you know the Lord is coming back and it's it's it's imperative that you get a real clear picture of the fact that this is this is happening and and has already begun can you say Amen to that so Hagi chapter 2 verse one in the seventh month the 21st day of the month so basically for us that would be July 21st the Jewish calendar and our calendar did not necessarily coincide exactly but also I believe there's no coincidences and I think we're right here he says speak now to zerubabel the son of shtil governor of Judah and to Joshua the son of josec and the high priest and the residue of the people saying who's left among you that saw this house in her first glory and how do you see it now now is it not in your eyes in comparison of it as nothing yet now be strong zerubabel says the Lord and be strong oh Joshua son of josec the high priest and be strong all the people of the land says the Lord and work somebody say work work the number one thing you should pick up on if you really believe that the Lord is coming back is you ought to be working like he's coming back you you ought to be aware that if somebody doesn't know the Lord when the trumpet sounds and those of us who are alive and remain are caught up to meet him in the sky that's going to be a terrible day for the people that don't know him the worst day you could imagine for us it'll be a great day but for those that don't know him it'll be horrible he says work for I Am with You says the Lord of hosts according to the word that I coveted with you when you came out of Egypt so my spirit remains among you now what did he cover with them when they came out of Egypt first off he Covenant covenanted with them that he would bring them out you are not saved just to stay here you're saved you're redeemed you should live a life in the direction of sanctification that means what you used to be comfortable with you shouldn't be as comfortable with anymore and ultimately you should press towards the mark for the prize of the high calling in Christ not press towards the things of the devil and hope you can stay saved so let me just give you a few examples of that if you constantly are positioning questions of can I still drink and be a Christian you have the wrong question the question is not what can I still do like the world and stay saved the question is what can I do to get so close to Jesus that the world can't tell a difference between me and him that's the question and Christianity in in America especially in the Bible Belt has been de uh it it's it's been reduced to a club and not a power body of Believers it's been reduced to a club so instead it's well you know I'm a Christian but I'm this type of Christian and US type of Christians we do believe in alcohol so we do do it and we're a different type of Christian and we don't believe in dancing uh but all all of us do dance we just don't believe in dancing but oh my gosh we absolutely don't dance for the Lord if we are going to dance we're going to twostep to George straight or I'm another group where where you know I only go to church with the people who look like me I'll tell you something that's very dangerous for a white man to say you go to church with nothing but black people see how quiet it gets you go to church with nothing but white people you go to church with nothing but brown people now if that's all that's in your town that's what you should be in church with but if your town doesn't look like that and all you have is people that look like you talk like you use the same hair care products as you do you do not look like every nation in tongue because let me tell you something you start getting around people with different cultures you're going to find out you don't know everything you're going to find out your experience is your experience not everybody's experience and your heart your heart will soften in ways that you can't imagine when you find out somebody that you love has been condemned because of the color of their skin your heart will break in a way that you can't imagine so it's imperative that the church look like the the the people group that's in that's in a region I would not Pastor a church that was not Multicultural I would consider myself a failure and I would stop I got so tickled several years ago in this town you know it happens every few years some some preacher with about 20 people start saying we need more unity in the town we need more unity in the town in the body of Christ we need more we need more unity in the town and usually they only have white people if they're white they only have brown people if they're brown they only have black people if they're black and they start screaming about how we need more unity and then they go talk to everybody that looks like them and start talking about how we need unity and they don't ever pick up the phone and call somebody who actually has a multicultural Church it's a false version of unity it's it's it's it's a it's a it's the reason the world excuse me it's the reason the world doesn't take many Christians serious because many Christians aren't serious many Christians just want to have church many preachers just want to wear the robe and preach many preachers just want a title I wasn't going to preach any of this this morning but I guess I'll preach it many preachers just want a title and so you end up you end up having a a a a a situation where it's very challenging for the world to understand when when somebody's saying Unity but looks completely exclusive it doesn't make sense to the world so the world goes what are you talking about you guys don't have Unity so the scripture says Accord to the word that he Covenant he says I'm taking you out you will come out of this Earth one day for sure you will either die and your spirit will go to an eternal hell or your spirit will go to an eternal heaven or Jesus Christ will come and Ransom and and and and Rapture Believers that believe on him out and they will bypass that version of death but the Bible says according to what he covenanted verse six for thus says the Lord of hosts yet once it is a little while and I will shake the heavens and the earth and the Sea and the dry land I'll shake All Nations and the desire of all Nations shall come and I will fill this house somebody say fill this house fill this house God is in the process of filling every church that is a real church this house will be full from the very floor all the way to the ceiling the lobby will be full there will be lines of people out because people need a real savior they they need a real encounter with God you ought to be you your stomach ought to be turned upside down because of the nonsense that you see coming out of what most people consider church that's right when the reality of life is he says I'm going to fill my house the Bible says the desire of of all Nations shall come in other words we're about to see what everybody wants come into the kingdom we're about to see what everybody wants come into the kingdom he says I'll fill this house with Glory says the Lord of hosts then verse eight he says the silver is mine and the gold is mine says the Lord of hosts verse n the glory of this latter house shall be greater than that of the former house say says the Lord of hosts and in this place I will give peace says the Lord of hosts somebody say this place this place now turn to Matthew chapter 24 but listen to me while you're doing it he said there'll be peace in this place he doesn't say there's going to be peace on the earth indefinitely he says there will be peace in this place it's more important today than it's ever been in the the history of humanity for you to be locked in with a local church because when you're locked in with a local church you see people that don't look like you that don't sound like you that have a different cultural background than you and you can be in love with those people that you would not have the opportunity to see in that light if you do not get connected to a body of Believers because the entire world is trying to turn white against black black against white brown against black brown against uh uh White and every other color of the rainbow the entire world is trying to convince wealthy people to hate poor people the entire world is trying to convince poor people to hate wealthy people but the Bible says uh in one place he says he says to charge the rich among you in other words there ought to be rich people in the Kingdom cuz how can you charge the rich among you if they're if they're among you and Rich how can they not be rich if they're among you and they're rich and he says to talk to them so there ought to be wealthy people there ought to be people that that are that are that are struggling when they come into the kingdom and then we'll teach them out of that struggle can you say Amen to that but Society ought to be filled with Envy for the peace that's available to the people of God so Hagi says these are things that you'll see see uh Kingdom against Kingdom Nation against Nation everything will be shaken and everything that you see right now is being shaken on a daily basis the new cycle is faster than 24 hours and every day there's something else shaken just yesterday the people in the state of Israel were attacked again and 11 children were killed by Muslim terrorists called Hezbollah everything that could be shaken is being shaken so there's not anything else we need to see to know where we are so let me let me just let me just tell you how to receive a message like this because number one this message started three weeks ago but let me tell you how to receive a message like this if you're not right with God you ought to be terrified that that Eastern sky might split and you don't know him yet you ought to feel your feet begin to stick to the carpet because the Flames of hell are getting closer and closer and closer to be being able to have access to you forever if you are born again it ought to motivate you to the nth degree that soon and very soon the king that ransomed us is returning to pick us up again if you are baptized in the spirit it ought to cause something in you to say I know the feeling of my God moving and I feel my God moving if you have friends and family that aren't Believers it ought to motivate you to pick up the phone and if you can't pick up the phone it ought to motivate you to hit your knees and pray because the day is coming when they won't have the option of choosing Jesus that's how you receive a message like this please be seated that's how you receive a message like this you say I don't know Jesus you should be terrified if you do know Jesus you should be excited but motivated to work motivated to do what he's called us to do so Jesus is with his disciples one day Matthew 24 and verse three they sat he sits down on the Mount of Olives and the disciples came to him and they said tell us when these things would happen when these end time things will happen and what shall be the sign of your coming and of the end of the world this is Matthew 24:3 verse 4 Jesus answered and said unto them take heed that no man deceive you so Jesus answers the question he wants to answer not necessarily the one you ask because the question was what is the sign of your return the question question was what shall be the sign of your return and the end of the world and the answer was make sure nobody deceives you that's like saying what day is today and the Lord says it's going to rain next week he answers the question he wants to answer so you can't be offended when you don't get the answer to the question you ask it might have been the opportunity for God to actually give you the answer you need but if we're going to dive deep in the Bible because you can't just read the Bible you got to read the Bible if we're going to dive deep in the Bible we can derive that one of the signs of the coming of the son of man is many people must be in deception because he would not have communicated make sure that you don't get deceived if people were not being deceived he so well how how are people being deceived on every street corner people are being deceived yes on every News Channel people are being deceived he said take heed that no man deceive you verse five for many shall come in my name saying I am Christ and shall deceive many okay look at me but you know continue to take notes because this is very important you cannot read every verse with just your own life experiences the word Christ means anointed it has over time transitioned to be the Christ but the term Christ in general generally speaking is and was an adjective that describes something else so Jesus the Christ means Jesus the anointed one so Christ means anointed when we talk about Christ we understand capital T he is the anointed one can you say Amen to that amen so where it says many shall come in my name and say I am Christ it's not necessarily saying they will come and say I am Jesus stay with me this is very important many will come and say I am anointed that he's not necessarily saying everybody's going to show up and say I am Jesus Jesus CU as soon as somebody says I am Jesus even the world kind of labels you a weirdo what he's saying is many will come and say I am anointed and he wrote this this was pinned down almost 2,000 years ago so for you and for me we have to understand many have already come through and said I am anointed yes sir Muhammad came through and said he's anointed Buddha came through and said he's anointed Joseph Smith with the Latter-Day Saints Church came through and said he's anointed so many have already come and says I am anointed and he says many will come and say I am Christ and shall deceive many yes sir Hindus are pleased to have Jesus in their group they just don't want to make him the Alpha and the Omega Muhammad is pleased to have Jesus in his book he just doesn't want him to be the Son of God he just doesn't want him to be crucified for you and me and for our sins so many shall come in my name so they're willing to use the name of Jesus they're just not willing to say that Jesus is the anointed one they want to communicate that they're anointed so nothing else has to happen for that scripture to manifest because many have already come many have already communicated at least a reasonable uh acceptance of there is a Jesus and they just want to call themselves anointed it's already happened so this scripture is not saying your neighbor is going to come to you one day and I had this happen one time I knew a guy and and and he was he had a business partner and the business partner came to him and said hey you know what I you know I I don't think I can be your business partner anymore because I'm one of the two I'm one of the two prophets that's going to be raised up in Jerusalem so clearly he's not but that's a good example of somebody making a statement that so far-fetched that doesn't have the fruit behind it for any verification that's not what that's saying it's not everybody saying I'm Jesus Christ I'm Jesus Christ I'm Jesus Christ it's saying many people are going to come and say they're anointed and then they're going to be then they're going to be able to deceive many people in the process Islam is growing in Leaps and Bounds because even the most even the most laidback Muslim is in in in Infinity interested in making sure that Muslims are taken care of Christianity is in Peril so much so that the Olympics think they can take a picture of the last supper and put a bunch of transgenders and homosexuals in front of it and it not offend the entirety of society what I'm trying to tell you is you are living in the end of the end times yeah when you when you have a a a homosexual sitting where Jesus sat in the picture with a crown with uh men dressed like women all around you have the epitome of godlessness being broadcast and Christians still watch the Olympics oh it gets quiet in here well I didn't watch the opening ceremony what do you think they care if you watch the opening ceremony they're still getting all their ad [Music] money all of society is travailing at the coming of the Lord and the church not this church the Church of the Living God is sleeping on a hammock [Applause] the Bible says take heed that no man deceive you many shall come in my name saying I am anointed and shall deceive many verse six and you shall hear listen to this listen to this fourth word from the left and you shall say it louder you shall it doesn't say you will see come on in the 1990s the United States of America invaded Iraq I remember watching it on TV as the Patriot missile shot off constantly and I thought as a child I remember thinking is this what war will be now play by play now every human practically alive has a video camera in their hand all day long and all you hear about is the war in Ukraine yet you don't see it anywhere you will hear of Wars the reason they don't want you to see the wars because if they showed you what the Palestinian Hamas group was actually doing in in in Israel every americ am would be running over there in ski boats if we have to we'd be getting to that place to rescue those children so they won't show you they'll just tell you cuz if they can tell you they can twist it any way they want to you will hear of [Applause] Wars you trying to tell me that we don't have drawn footage of every single thing happening right now yet we don't see but one or two little cherry-picked scenes don't you even think this is a political conversation either this is a prophetic [Applause] conversation you will hear of Wars it wasn't 30 years ago we got to see it now they don't want to show you they just want to tell you because if I can tell you I can twist anything I want you will hear of wars and rumors of wars you're trying to tell me that the president of a Nation that's at War the president of Ukraine zalinski who hasn't changed out of his War outfit in a year and a half is still running around from award show to award show to different country to different country while his nation is in war don't you know what war actually looks like this is the same man who had the churches in the uh nation of Ukraine many of them raided because they didn't agree with his policies you will hear of wars and rumors of wars but see that you're you're not troubled the reason you're hearing of these wars is they don't want to show you what's happening 11 children playing soccer were killed Yesterday by Muslims that want Israel dead you say well all Muslims aren't like that maybe not but some of them are yes and when somebody keeps telling you that they want to annihilate an entire nation you ought to believe them and just so you're aware when a Palestinian protester says from The River To The Sea Palestine will be free they're saying they want Israel off the map that's being chanted all over your nation your Capital yeah while they killed 1700 people I think it was 1700 people last OCT sober still have many uh uh what do you call them hostages now including Americans let me ask you a question what the heck would you do if somebody in Louisiana took your kids I can tell you what we do I'd say meet me at New Heights Church and we'll load up and we'll go we'll go get your [Applause] kids and it wouldn't matter what anybody said about it listen to me anybody oh we need to wait diplomatic diplomatic nothing they have our children he said well some of them don't well tell them get out of the way and point where they are maybe they won't get hurt but as long as they got our kids there not be one safe night over there not one think about your children think about your little eight-year-old girl skipping and playing and some man in a in a in a costume of sorts with an AK-47 comes and takes your little baby and puts it down in a tunnel and holds your little baby there for a year what would you do you tell Israel how to act don't you dare tell Israel how to act I don't understand the restraint I personally think God is not going to keep smiling if they keep showing restraint you will hear of Wars oh y'all they they're all you hear it all the time this just total genocide in Palestine and Palestine well how come we hadn't seen it on then they want to convince you what you did see wasn't real you will hear of wars and I'm trying trying to tell you where we are church this is not to scare you this is to prepare you you better be ready cuz the only thing that stops this in America right now is the hand of God in the Atlantic Ocean because they say the same thing about America as they say about Israel the bell will ring one day and everybody will have a hook in their mouth and they will all be drawn to the center of the universe Israel and there will be Wars and there will be some battles that the blood will run to the Bridal in a horse's mouth all this is coming so you've got to be ready right now you will hear of Wars i i i that hit me like a ton of bricks I said Lord we're in 2024 everybody's got a dog gone phone with a camera how is it we're just hearing of these wars he said because they don't want you to see you will hear of wars and rumors of War see that you are not troubled for all these things must come to pass but the end is not yet I'm going to give you one more just just for all you readers out there look up a woman named Marina amram Abramovic Abram Abram oich this woman is the woman responsible for having Spirit dinners Spirit dinners where they take a a necked woman lay her on a table and then they lay food on her body as if they were eating her body while they ask demons to perform it's the same woman who has written many messages in her own blood they they they tried to call her a an artist she has many different images with the head of a decapitated goat dripping with blood she's absolute Satanist period many celebrities are very very connected with her including Jay-Z the pro the popular uh rapper I was going to say actor because that's all he really is just an actor this guy's hooked up with uh John podesta used to run the Democrat Party Democrat National Convention believe he was Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman if I remember right this woman came on the scene because some emails got loose and those emails had um people talking about these dinners where they rode in blood did all these other different crazy thing things that I won't say from the pull pit crazy things so that's who this woman is um absolute uh Satanist lives and serves the occult the Church of the Church of Satan whether or not it's the actual Church of Satan or she just you know worships the devil that's none of my business but that's who she is you want to know why I'm talking about her it's because you'll hear of wars and rumors of wars and over in Ukraine they they said we're going to need to rebuild Ukraine after this war this was before the war really started and president zalinski asked Marina aroic to help rebuild the school system this will take you two seconds to look up and I'm talking hundreds of Articles I'm not talking about one random article from some random reporter they're not hiding anything from you the entire world is trying to convince you that God is not real by mocking him on every stage and we're hearing wars and rumors of wars and he says when you hear all these things don't be troubled but I'm telling you Church don't be troubled but don't be stupid don't sit and let somebody convince you that what you see is not what you see the the scripture that says we live by faith not sight is not for you to ignore what you see it's for when you don't see something you can still believe God but if you see somebody worshiping the devil or mocking your king mocking your Jesus putting children around men dressed like women dancing provocatively or Worse not clothed dancing provocatively don't act like you're not seeing what you're seeing you're seeing what you're seeing when the argument on Capitol Hill is how long can a baby be in a mother's womb before we're allowed to kill it you can tell the the difference you say well well I don't understand why it always comes back to abortion because it's a real simple heart check where do you stand on creation where do you stand on what is made in the likeness and image of God or have you been convinced that it's Women's Health it's not Women's Health to be able to go and kill a baby at will in your womb when you are a woman and you are pregnant there are two lives involved and there's nowhere else on Earth where going and murdering something else for convenience is legal so when when when when all these things pile up and you see that this is the F of of of the politicians in the land understand those that are arguing for the rapid availability of the euthanasia of babies in mother's wombs are working knowingly or unknowingly working for Satan himself so you have to wake up cuz this is where we are this is not where we are going the imagery from the opening ceremonies of the Olympics with the Lord's supper and a man implying to be nude laying on the table in front of them as if he was what would be consumed when Jesus said this is my body the world wants you to eat not the idea of leave me alone the world wants you to stomach perverted bread and act like it's normal why do homosexuals have to have parades bump your neighbor say why I'll tell you because they have to recruit because they can't [Music] reproduce they're always one generation away from Extinction and if sin ever gets overwhelmed by the glory of God it'll be over that's why they constantly have to be promoting that's why they constantly have to have a new flag you said do you hate do you hate gay people not at all love them but I don't celebrate your sin just cuz you do yes sir you say well you may even have the argument say well I Was Born This Way well aren't you glad the Bible says you can be born again I'm not here to argue semantics with you I only have one position the Bible so if you don't like my position just throw the Bible away in your house and tell me how it goes for you in eternity but the reason that that they have to have all these different promotions and everything is because if they're not recruiting they're done so now you have you have literally Society being exposed to this on a mass scale when the devil is called the prince of the power of the air it's always been his plan to use the Airways to communicate his demonic gospel and we're seeing it and not here but we're seeing it and the church is sleeping through it you know why the church is sleeping through it because much of the church has been infil ated by the enemy you're not doing anything you're not making any waves you're not getting anybody saved the only people in your church is the people that were born in your church ain't nobody in your church born again in your church just the people born in your church you're not doing anything you're arguing about whether or not somebody that's caught up in sin can be a preacher or not you're not even rescuing Society you're not a church so you got to wake up cuz what we needed to see is being seen he said he said they said they said what's the sign of the end he said okay uh don't get deceived don't you know they were sitting there like but that's not what we asked he goes I answered your question the Bible says you'll hear of Wars God help [Music] me how can we not see them give us a live stream if it's what you say just show us we want to be on the side of right but when you're recruiting satanists to rebuild your school system we don't trust you you little clown for nation shall rise against nation and Kingdom against Kingdom and there will be famines and pestilences famines and pestilences plagues interestingly we've already seen a significant plague in covid-19 which if you remember was originally called the Corona virus Corona means Crown Satan tried to Crown the entire Earth with illness they tried to convince you that some poor person in a market in the backside of China ate a bat and that's how the entire world got sick ate a bat and the entire world got sick they burned the lab where this virus was developed and then told you it was just what happened then they told you if you take the vaccine you won't get sick then we found out and you can do your own poll among your own family the people who took the vaccine God bless everybody got sick just as much or more than the people who did not take the vaccine so they try to tell you one thing because if you see it it's a problem so they don't bring you the bat they just tell you it happened they tell you that the that that it's just it's just a coincidence that we decided burn the lab so the scripture says Nation against Nation Kingdom against Kingdom pestilences and famines though somebody say famines famines we're getting close to the famines it'll hit America mark my words right now there are fewer beef cows in America than in the history and in modern history and if you look if you it won't take long to look but just look back over the last couple of years and Ranch after Ranch Ranch after Ranch had massive massive uh uh uh situations where entire herds of cattle were killed and some were required to be killed because of some random disease all the while people telling you don't eat meat we're going to grow it in a lab for you I remember Wuhan lab I don't want meat grown in a lab I'm talking about famines I'm talking about it'll be different so you got to be ready you say what does that mean well number one it don't mean it doesn't mean don't live in peace but it does mean when these things start coming it ought to go hey he's closer ding ding ding better talk to my neighbor hey he's closer better talk to my coworker famines pestilence earthquakes in diverse places verse eight and all these are the beginning of Sorrows everybody say Sorrows sorrows that that word Sorrows is the exact same word for birth pains all this is the beginning of the birth pains it's the beginning of the contractions all you ladies that have had babies that first one catches you you're trying to figure out if it's bra and Hicks or what but they don't they're not they're not you know 5 minutes apart when they start that's why why it's been four years since they uh since they lose Co cuz they're not right on top of each other when they start they're spread out they've got a little time all this is the beginning of birth pains birth pains for what the Earth delivering what God really wants sooner or later you and me are getting ransomed out of here and the Earth is is not really ready to let you go so the consistent birth pains have begun verse n then they shall deliver you up to be afflicted and shall kill you and you will be hated of all Nations for my name's sake bump your neighbor say I'm glad I came to church for that verse right there anybody who loves their life will lose it no greater love does a man have than he lay his life down for his friend I don't know if that's going to be you but that's in the Bible I've told my children from the time they were young don't you ever turn your back on Jesus even if it cost you your life on and understand Daddy won't come on mama won't if they come to our house and say reject Jesus or else we're not rejecting Jesus and if we have time we'll be ready for him [Music] [Applause] [Music] you know the same Bible that has turned other cheek has David in a slingshot the same Bible that says turn the other cheek has Jesus telling his disciples if you don't have a sword sell your coat to get one he said what are you saying pastor I guess what I'm telling you now is read your dadgum Bible so you can get a real picture of what our King is like our King is the kind of King that when he was ask about children he said if anybody hurts a kid it'd be better for him to be drowned in the Ocean than what I'm going to do to him there was a prophet named Samuel in the Bible and and uh the king named Saul he wasn't supposed to bring a king that he'd conquered he wasn't supposed to bring him back he brings him back and Samuel says why do I hear he makes a comment like this he said why do I hear a heathen in my ears says something like that and he jerks Saul's sword out of his own Scabbard and he chops that King up into a bunch of people a bunch of pieces you know what God did not say shame on him he said what are you talking about preacher I'm telling you if they come into your nation and they kill 1700 people and kidnap a bunch of people and rape little girls and hurt little kids and do all these things that they've done they do not deserve to breathe the same air that you and I are breathing and your God verifies that I like say it like this they can get it too Samson had no problem with Philistines do you know the word Palestine means Philistine it's the same devils devils don't leave anointings don't leave and Devils don't leave anointings don't leave and Devils don't leave anointings don't leave the Earth and Devils don't leave the Earth so when Elijah's Mantle fell on Elisha he got a double portion because he got to walk in what he had and that mantle and that anointing that was on his spiritual father Elijah anointings Don't Leave the Earth so quit trying to save yours for heaven you don't get to use it there well I have a gift to heal the sick well then lay hands on somebody because you're not going to find any sick people in [Applause] heaven anointings don't leave and Devils don't leave so when the demoniac got set free at the Gathering the demons pleaded said would you just put us in the pigs this is why I hog hunt so much you never know which one has a [Applause] devil they don't leave they're territorial I can feel when I cross into another Demon's territory you can go to New Orleans it's a very different demon than Sixth Street in Austin plenty of devils in both but they're very different you can you can go to Seattle very different devil you can go to Dallas Houston fill in the blank I'm not picking on a city I'm just telling you these things are Territorial and they've been there so so these Concepts that are going on over in the Middle East they're not new they're only new if you're thinking through the lens of you don't know anything you do know a lot the Philistines have hated God's people since Philistine was in the Bible so this is the spelling out of the Demonic culture and nature that has been drummed up since at least these days in the scripture so we're not going to be ignorant about it bump your neighbors say don't be ignorant IGN but some of us may have to lose our life you'll be hated by you'll be hated of all Nations for my name's sake now if they hate you for for your sake you got a problem but if they hate you because you love Jesus you're in great company better so the ace and then shall many be offended come help me on the keys Walker and then shall many be offended and shall betray one another and shall hate one another I'm going to give you two things in this verse then I'm going to pray many shall be offended the word offended is an interesting word in the original language scandalo it's where we get the word scandal in the end there will be many scandals seems like every week we're seeing another scandal in the Kingdom something that somebody should have communicated a long time ago something that somebody did something somebody didn't do that word scandalo also comes across as stumbling block and it becomes a stumbling block many will be offended there'll be stumbling blocks everywhere the scripture says many will be offended and betray one another and will hate one another Jesus was asked what's the sign of your coming he said man take heed that you're not deceived and less than seven verses later he says there's going to be a lot of offended people you ready you didn't call me the right pronoun offended very few people are offended about what you do they're offended that they don't that you don't agree with what they do they don't care that we marry and have children that we raise them in the fear and admonition of the Lord they hate that we won't agree with their sin and they'll do cartwheels to try to convince everybody around them that somehow or another God has changed and Sodom and Gomorrah was a joke [Music] many will be offended Church hear this warning in the end of the end times that have begun you must fight to not be offended you can't be offended with your family you can't be offended with your church you can't be offended with your pastor you can't be offended with your cooworker you can't be offended with your neighbor so you don't understand what they did to me I understand what they did to to him and we no longer live but he lives in us so I can't live offended and be about my father's business I can't be offended by you and love you I've got to find a way to give you grace even when it hurts me to do [Music] it because in this time that we're in many are going to be offended and they're going to end up hating each other because of it so I can never hate anybody well that's because you don't have the root of the root of offense too deep yet but if the root of offense gets deep enough in you hatred comes out so what what do I do about it you got to learn to forgive people that are wrong not just the people that ask for it not just the people that repented you've got to live so free that nothing can stick to you because the last thing you want now is to be deceived many will rise up the Bible even implies that many will rise up and you know try to prophesy I personally think that's what we're seeing in the news every day constantly trying to talk whatever their story is in a grandiose in a grandiose Manner and way but the Bible says there'll be lots of scandals the Bible says there'll be lots of offenses and many people will be offended you'll hear about wars but they don't want you to see them they want you to see a man dressed in a dressed like a woman in dancing but they don't want you to see the war they want you to hear about it but they don't want you to hear about the Satanist that they've asked to build the school system they want you to hear about all the atrocities but then not show it to you because as long as they don't show it to you they control the narrative well I've got good news for you Saints the story's already been written we're just watching it play out so what does that mean for me first off if you're not saved you better get saved today now is the time today is the day of salvation if you're living right you're doing your best you're serving God you're loving God it's critical and imperative that you don't back up now that you press towards the mark for the prize of the high calling that you don't live like Jesus is going to come back in somebody else's lifetime Nobody Knows the day nor the hour but the Bible says if the person who knew their house was going to get robbed knew the hour that the house was going to get robbed they'd have been there waiting you and me have to be ready and ready means working ready doesn't just mean looking up ready means working because when you get there you don't want him to say why did you come alone didn't you tell someone about me was I not good enough to share didn't I save you and heal you and yeah well I I just didn't know that that was my job didn't you read the Bible you don't want to hear that you want to hear come on in here you've been so faithful oh job well done because you got one shot at this
