Hell is for Real

I was recently fortunate to read a blog of somebody somewhere between here and yonder. It seems they were once young, they are old now, and they know the truth, or at least did at one time. They pronounced “there would be no eternal hell, no punishment for the wicked. There is no reason to repent. Don’t buy into fear and hell and sin.” My spirit was grieved. This world is so deceived! I pray for you, who do not believe. Grace is great but not eternal!

There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:   And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,   And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.   And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;   And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.   And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.   But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.   And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.   Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father’s house:   For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.   Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.   And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.   And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

Will Faith Continue

“I tell you that He will bring about justice for them quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?” Luke 18:8

There are children in our church who have much faith. This faith goes beyond Sunday School class, they are being taught at home.

William Brinnum
Aimee McPherson

Why is God not moving the way He did in the past?

Knowlege of God is not movement of God.

Can people see Jesus inside of you, and your church?

Faith must be lived out in the lives of people

Only God can measure faith.

(When God dips his pen of love in my heart )

Looking the part does not ensure your heart

People are not led by faith anymore. In this age, we are driven about by lust.
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna

Matthew 17:4

Bring him to me

We need to be able to bring people into the presence of God

Smith Wigglesworth was promised an entire train.

God, use us to bring souls to you!

Matthew 17:19
The disciples asked, why could we not do that?

"Because of your unbelief"

Your faith is alive. You are never alone.

Discipline yourself in prayer, fasting, ect

Everybody doesn't have faith. The Bible is full of people with no faith.

Faith comes from hearing

You must act upon what God puts in your heart. Allow Holy Spirit to deal with your heart.

The cross must be heart knowlege, not just head knowlege.

Faith is like a small baby. You must tend to it. It's fragile.

Be careful how you treat your faith

Romans 12:1

Replenish the Light

Colossians 3

 1  If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

 2  Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

 3  For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

 4  When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

 5  Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:

 6  For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:

 7  In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.

 8  But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.

 9  Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds

Why do we need TRUE CHRISTIANS today?

*When is the last time you heard the prayer request, "Pray for me, that I'll be saved?"

*The lost need a place to fund Jesus

*Your life should be hidden in Christ, so His light can shine through you

*There is nobody too far gone, for Jesus to save

*Are you influencing your world, or is your world influencing you?

*When Godly men and women die, we lose some light. We need the light replenished.

*Will you be that light?

*Value the light God has put before you. Sister Stewart, Sister Linda, Sister Holbrooks

*When you need prayer, you find someone who lives in the light.

*People often weep at funerals, over conviction and guilt over things they did not do

*John Bunyan spent 12 years in prison, because he refused to say he would not preach. He wouldn't let his light go out!

*The church should grieve when light is lost

*John the Baptist was among the greatest men born of women. He was a great light!

*Walk as great lights

*This little light of mine. I'm gonna let it shine

*God has called you to be children of light

Revelations 21:24
 24  And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.

 Revelation 21:23-27 ESV

And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb. By its light will the nations walk, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it, and its gates will never be shut by day—and there will be no night there. They will bring into it the glory and the honor of the nations. But nothing unclean will ever enter it, nor anyone who does what is detestable or false, but only those who are written in the Lamb's book of life.

Stir the Pot

6  Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands

If you don't stir what's in the pot, it does not turn into what you want to make. Stew vs layered casserole

Look at your family while in the alter. Pray God do it again. Stir them.

When you are saved, you still go to the alter, and pray for the grace of God to cover you

God wants to grant you GREAT GRACE

God puts the gift, but it's up to us to stir it.

1 Thess 5:19 Quench not

Sin is the face only the grace of God can love.

The only way to conger sin is to stay stirred.

Overcome by the grace of God.

Stop! Story of police and man who California rolled through stop signs. Ticket after ticket, the man wouldn't stop. Heed God's warning today.

Some preachers snuff out every word that doesn't flow through them. God says quench me not!

We prophecy by faith. We know in part.

I'm sending the Fire by Eddie James

It's a terrible thing when you begin to break the promises you have made to God.

Samson was chosen by God

His sin wounded him

The grace of God allowed his hair to grow again. His strength to grow again. When we fail, grace allows us another day.

How long will you continue to give in to the flesh man?

Worship breaks the chains of bond age

Power of God = Grace of God

Worship is the door to the presence of God

Worship - honor with extravagant love

Do you desire to love Him more?

It is possible for a person to worship God, but never commit to Him.

Are the Alters Desolate

Daniel 9:24-27
24Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
25Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
26And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
27And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

Daniel the prophet, approximately 83 years old, in the 67th year of exile, studied the scriptures, and fasted. As he read Jeremiah, he understood the meaning of the Lord. If there would be 70 years of exile, the time is at hand.

Are your alters abandoned and desolate? Who is praying for the sins of the land? Who is repenting for the nation?

Jesus, even now, stands at the door. It is being prophesied by many, dreams and visions are coming to the nations, I COME QUICKLY!

Before the Jews were taken into captivity, they were warned. It was prophesied and told to them, but they did not heed the warnings. The enemy came in like a flood and devoured.

Will you be caught unaware? The 10 virgins knew the bridegroom was coming, but they were not prepared.

Prepare your alter. Build it up and repair it. Burrow deep in your prayer closet and cry for your family, your nation, your brothers and sister of the persecuted church. When He comes back, be found weeping before the alter.

Mat 24:6
And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
Mat 24:7
For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
Mat 24:8
All these are the beginning of sorrows.
Mat24:9
Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.

Do You Know Him?

John|5:39  Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have
eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
  John|5:40  And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.
  John|5:41  I receive not honour from men.
  John|5:42  But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in
you.
  John|5:43  I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not:
if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
  John|5:44  How can ye believe, which receive honour one of
another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?

Many know the God of the Bible, yet they do not know him, why do men not desire his presence?

If my question offends you, why are you offended? God offends the mind often to reveal the heart. The Pharisees knew the word and where orthodox, yet they didn't know him. Jesus is a stumbling block to some because they don't know him, yet to others he is a stepping stone. With Jesus you will see the father.

Take a few minutes and know Him!

It's Time!

2 Timothy 4:2, 7 KJV

Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:

I love being around people who always have a good word from the bible. The kind of person who is always excited about something they read. That excitement, that enthusiasm for the wisdom of God, is priceless! And what's more than that, its also contagious!

I want to be ready all the time to say good things about my God. That is what we are all called to do. Go and preach and teach! But how can you teach if you never learn?

We are called to show this world Jesus. Get into the Word. Spend some time every day figuring out what God wants to tell you. He desires for you to know Him.
