Transcript: God's Plan for the Last Days: Biblical Insights and Guidance

When speaking to people about the reality of the end times, in which Jesus prophesied would happen in Matthew's Gospel found in chapter 24. Most often than not, we have found them to be either quite disinterested or oblivious to the eminent and foreboding certainties that presently face our nation today. This vital issue is staring us in the face in our day and time as never before in the history since Christ spoke these words. These warnings have echoed throughout the ages of time regarding the end-time prophecy spoken of by inspiration by the prophets, and finally by our precious Lord Jesus Christ himself in foretelling and giving the warning of the impending evil and danger in the lack of preparation of the saints overall. We are living in the most significant era since the first coming of our Messiah. We are privileged to witness the fulfillment of the end-time prophecies that are happening all around us even as I speak to you today. These prophecies all point to the soon coming return of our Lord Jesus Christ. We are definitely in these last days spoken of in God's holy word. Far too many Christians are ignorant about what is happening in the world these days because we have a biased news media in our nation who are not reporting the news as it happens, but instead are shaping it according to their own personal opinions and agendas for the sake of what is called the New World Order. The shaping up of these end-time events are hidden from many, but will catch them by surprise when the economic collapse finally comes, especially to America. Many nations have already financially collapsed. America has had to borrow money to stay afloat, but will eventually succumb to the prophesied superpower who will step into place and take control. The financial woes of our nation are teetering on the brink of collapse, as I have just stated. and what you have known as security and freedom in this nation will never be the same again. You must know if you have been paying attention. This plan has been strategically and systematically plotted and connived by those who are directing and coursing this nation and the whole world for that matter towards what is known as one world government and the one world church. For years this has been slowly planned out by a secret minority of the wealthy elite. These are those who are hungry for political power, money, and finally, a one-world religion, which excludes Christianity but includes only and totally satanic worship. This totally bespeaks of communism. The name of the secret organization is called the Illuminati. It is a Luciferian society of people who get their name from the former name of Satan. Lucifer was Satan before the Almighty Creator cast him out of heaven for his anarchy and planned to overthrow and steal the Almighty's throne of power. And this takeover plot has been going on from the very beginning, since it began with Satan the devil, who was, as I had said, called Lucifer. the most beautiful created being whose beauty corrupted his wisdom for the sake of his splendor. This is a battle between the light and darkness and dear church, you must remember that Jesus Christ has been given all power and authority in heaven, on the earth, and under the earth and in the end, this great battle between good and evil will finally see its end as the very one who is called the light of the world will defeat the evil one and his hordes of hell once and for all. They have only plotted in vain in the end. During the time when the apostles were beaten and told not to testify about the risen Lord, they returned to their people and in one accord, according to Acts 4, 24 through 26, they praised God saying, Lord you are God who made heaven and earth and the sea and all that is in them who by the mouth of your servant David had said why did the nations rage and the people plot in vain and the kings of the earth took their stand and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord and his Christ this plot between light and the darkness is prophesied to escalate into the greatest battle at the end of the age, and in case you didn't know it, we are in those days right now. Satan uses people to plot in vain. This very sin that he committed rages within those who have rebellious, prideful, and greedy agendas too, just as he did. Dear believer, we Christians stand on the precipice and brink of an unknown and uncertain direction. this nation and every other nation for that matter is currently faltering and wavering to keep their heads above the water the United States of America has become highly secularized and is a nation ahead of all others who is big time promoting immorality in the world today my Bible declares in Proverbs 28 verse 2 when there is moral rot within a nation its government topples easily, but with honest, sensible leaders, there is stability. Part of the plan of this kind of new world order takeover was outlined by the Communist Manifesto written by Karl Marx, and this plan included points that must be followed in order to break a nation down before the takeover would occur. 1. Abolishment of all personal property in land and utilization of all rents of land to public purposes. In other words, you will not be permitted to own your own property any longer, but you will pay rent to live where you live. 2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax. We are seeing this as never before in our nation. 3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance and this is presently happening and being worked out by this present administration 4. Confiscation of the property of all immigrants and rebels just like in other communist nations where if you don't agree with this system of government you are considered a rebel 5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the state by means of a national bank with state capital and exclusive monopoly. If you haven't been paying attention, the banking system in the United States is presently being brought into the place where this very plan is happening at breakneck speed. Six, centralization of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the state. As I had said earlier, the news media in this nation has been taken over by this beast system, and this is why many millions of people will be absolutely shocked when this final crash and takeover comes to America. Number seven, extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the state, the bringing into cultivation, the wastelands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with the common plan. this is currently one of the greatest battles in our nation presently people are losing their land and water rights and some of the greatest court battles are occurring in this nation over this fact number eight equal liability of all to work establishment of industrial armies especially for agriculture no more private business everybody pulls their fair share by working for the government and then will have their food, their clothes, and little pay doled out to them if they comply with the New World Order system under this communistic regime. The army oversees all of the workers and has the right to eliminate those as they see fit. Number nine, combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries, gradual ablation of all distinction between town and country by a more equitable distribution of the populace over the country. And number ten, free education for all children in public schools, combination of education with industrial production. There will be no rights to homeschooling children any longer. This program is just like the days of Hitler, when all the children were indoctrinated with the new world order under this man. Jesus said, as one of the signs in these last days before he returns that we will see, will be the increase of lawlessness. We are presently seeing this in our own nation today like we have never seen or experienced it before. Mobs of youth all over this nation are ganging up on people, old and young alike, and are beating and killing them unmercifully. Some of the end time signs spoken about in scripture tells us that when we see an increase of spiritual darkness happening in every nation, we will know that the end is near. Today children are murdering children. They are also murdering their parents and their teachers and anyone whom they disagree with. Jesus himself said that spiritual darkness will increase in every nation. And this is so prevalent in our nation alone with the increase of Satanism and other occultic practices and beliefs which have permeated our society from movies and books and games and the internet. Violence, sex and pornography are at the helm of all of these medias and are at an all-time high. This is the plan of the Illuminati in breaking down a society in order to take it over. There is a movement presently in this country to normalize or make pedophilia a right of sexual orientation. Pedophilia has always been a felony where an adult has had a sexual affair with a child or minor. scientists today are trying to prove or maybe I should say manipulate the facts to show that child molesters are born this way in order to validate this sick plan to make it lawful for these abominable acts Proverbs 28 verse 2 tells us when there is moral rot within a nation its government topples easily but with honest sensible leaders there is stability. We can see the heart and the direction of this present administration, of this nation, by using the propagation of sexual immorality to bring this republic to an end. Sin and darkness is presented as a norm rather than for what it truly is, and that is evil to the core and absolutely abominable in the eyes of the all-righteous and holy God. There will also be increased persecution of Christians and Jews worldwide. Never have we seen in our nation alone where our constitutional rights as Christians are being systematically stripped away, especially where evangelism is concerned. And this too is the plan of the Illuminati who are the Luciferian society who are pushing full steam ahead with their new world order plan. And we will see greater and increased apostasy and air rise in the church. It is presently appalling to see the degeneration of the church with the lack of integrity of leadership and also the lack of adherence to the pure and the unadulterated word of God. We see where so many church leaders who preach and teach the word of God Take God's precious truths and mingle it with untruths and thus present a mix. And this is especially true within mega churches today. The prosperity gospel believers, denominations who have formed their own doctrinal heirs and mingled them with the truth of scripture such as the once saved, always saved belief and or all roads lead to heaven regardless of what faith you are and also believes with Eastern mysticism, the Kabbalah, and also teachings about angels are sweeping through the church as never before. Today people are believing a mix because the truth has now been watered down to where they become more and more tolerant of the world and its evils. And then pretty soon you can't tell or see the difference between the world and God's holy people who are called the church. for instance God's people are insensitive to the truth and consequently there is a lack of true discernment at work in the hearts of the people who should be living and walking in the spirit the mix is more accepted and tolerated than the truth and anyone who speaks out about this is called religious or overreactive to the things that are now relevant to our times today or they are said to be critical and or are labeled as being judgmental. People begin to do and make decisions based on what they believe is right and good to do regardless of what God's righteous word says we ought to do. The word of God is the light that lights our path. How can it be so if it is watered down and made ineffective by error and apostasy. Apostle Paul warned in 1 Timothy 4, verse 1 and 2. He says, But the Holy Spirit distinctly and expressly declares that in the latter times some will turn away from the faith, giving attention to deluding and seducing spirits and doctrines that demons teach through the hypocrisy and pretensions of liars whose consciences are seared. other signs of the times that we are warned about is that there will be a worldwide economic crash and i touched on this earlier this is presently happening not just in the united states but in so many other nations because we are intricately tied together in our economic system we are on the brink of total collapse The scriptures in Daniel and Revelation speak prophetically about the beast which is symbolically used to describe four political governmental systems which are identified as being cruel and tyrannical dictators in the areas of politics, finance, and the religious power that they wield. John, in the book of Revelation, saw the Antichrist arise out of this beast system. He was shown this Antichrist dictator as having seven heads and ten horns. And we can only conclude that this world system will be introduced and put into place by the beast who is the most powerful horn who will defeat the other nine nations and will begin to wage war against the Christians. The final world government known today as the New World Order will consist of ten entities represented by the ten toes of the statue. The vision shows that whoever these ten are and however they come into power, Scripture clearly reveals that the beast will either destroy them or reduce their power to literally nothing to where they will only be figureheads and in the end will do nothing more than what the beast dictates to them to do to follow and carry out his plans and his orders. As I had said, this will usher in the prophesied, ruthless and devious world dictator who will come up on the scene and deceive many. There will be a time when all nations will invade and come against Israel. We are seeing greater cataclysmic events such as severe weather and increasing of earthquakes and tornadoes and great and terrible signs from heaven such as huge meteorites falling from outer space. We are seeing evil and atrocious sins of society increase with unbelievable acceptance by people who call themselves Christians. and all of these signs and so many others will usher in the time that Jesus spoke about in Matthew 24 verse 21 which refers to the great tribulation. The Amplified Version says it this way For there will be a great tribulation affliction and distress and oppression such as not been from the beginning of the world until now no, and never will be again. And if those days had not been shortened, no human being would endure and survive, but for the sake of the elect, God's chosen ones, those days will be shortened. All of these things must happen. Jesus said we would be hearing of wars and rumors of wars, but these were not to frighten or trouble us because they must take place, but the end is not yet. Read with me, please. In Matthew 24, verse 3. Matthew 24, verse 3. Again I'm reading from the Amplified Version. While he was seated on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately and said, Tell us, when will this take place? And what will be the sign of your coming and of the end, the completion, the consummation of the age? Verse 4. Jesus answered them, Be careful that no one misleads you, deceiving you and leading you into error. For many will come in on the strength of my name, appropriating the name which belongs to me, saying, I am the Christ, the Messiah. And they will lead many astray. Verse 6. And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See to it that you're not frightened or troubled. For this must take place, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in place after place. All this but is the beginning of the early pangs of the birth pangs of the intolerable anguish. Dear believer, we are living in the most significant era since the first advent of our precious Savior. Only those who walk near to the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, will live in holiness and live useful lives in serving Him could even contemplate this most awful time ahead of us with joy. There are dark days ahead for our nation and for the whole world for that matter, but particularly as Christians, we will face increasing persecutions and we need to set our hearts and minds on the eternal things. We must remember always that God holds all power and knows all things and is very concerned of what is happening in all segments of the world and society and not one thing escapes his notice. Psalms 2 says that God sits in the heavens and he laughs at the plotting and secret conspiracies of evil designs that the world's political leaders scheme up. Dear one, God isn't laughing because he doesn't care, but rather he smiles or laughs at their vain and futile attempts of building their own kingdoms and God knows their final end. Only God knows. And he steadily moves forward in the accomplishment of his own purposes, and he may even use them and their evil schemes in the accomplishing of his own end. God laughs because he only has the wisdom and power to orchestrate all the evil of man and Satan to the triumph of his own perfect will and in the final outcome of human history. Let us understand. The final outcome which we are speaking about here is the second coming of Jesus Christ in all of his splendor and glory and majesty. As he steps foot on Mount Zion and finally the whole world will be flooded with peace and righteousness which the scriptures tell us will be as the waters cover the sea. Hallelujah! and before all of this happens though scripture tells us that the church will be raptured before the great tribulation and the millennial kingdom comes God's word tells us in Matthew 25 verse 13 that we cannot know the time of the coming of his son for the second time but we can know the season of his return and 1 Thessalonians 5.2 tells us For you yourselves know perfectly the day of the Lord, so he comes as a thief in the night. For when they say peace and safety, then suddenly destruction comes upon them as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and they shall not escape. What we do know for sure is that Jesus will come like a thief in the night. You see, this will be true for those who do not know Christ, but this won't be so for those who do know him. True believers who live close to God are aware of the signs of his return, and it will not be a surprise to them because they have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit who alerts and gives them understanding and warning of the nature of the times. Just as in the days when the God of Judah was going to destroy the city of Nineveh, scripture tells us that it was so because he was angry at the sin of the people. The stench of sin had finally reached the throne of God and he said, this is enough. And Nahum 1 verse 2 tells us that God is a jealous God and he avenges those who plot against him and his treasured possession. The Amplified Bible reports Nahum 1 verse 2 to say, the Lord is a jealous God and avenging and the Lord avenges and he is full of wrath. The Lord takes vengeance upon his adversaries and reserves wrath for his enemies. The Lord is slow to anger and great in power and will by no means clear the guilty. The Lord has his way in the whirlwind and in the storm and the clouds are the dust of his feet. When God says enough is enough He will then project and execute his judgment against a nation, and no one can stand up against him. Any fight against the great creator will be futile. Though today, we have great schemes by a group of evil people occurring at this very moment to usher in what they have long been awaiting, and that is a one-world government and a one-world church. looking in Daniel 7.23 the New International Version tells us that the prophet declared he gave me this explanation the fourth beast is a fourth kingdom that will appear on the earth and it will be different from the other kingdoms and will devour the whole earth trampling it down and crushing it and the ten horns are ten kings who will come from this kingdom. After them another king will arise different from the earlier ones. He will subdue three kings. He will speak against the Most High and oppress his saints and try to change the set times and the laws. The saints will be handed over to him for a time, times, and half a time. Well, there are many other scriptures which show the final takeover. But by these scriptures in Daniel, We can see the end time prophecy unfold and the Antichrist who is the final adversary, he will rise up against God himself and take his seat in the temple of God proclaiming that he himself is God. 2 Thessalonians 2 verse 4 declares who opposes and exalts himself so proudly and insolently against and over all that is called God or that is worshipped even to his actually taking his seat in the temple of God proclaiming that he himself is God we do know that there will be a great battle And the Antichrist and those associated with him will rise up against God's people and against God himself. After the formation of this one world government, the Bible tells us that the world government will be split into ten kingdoms or regions. And this sets the stage then for the rise of the Antichrist or the man of sin to take his place. The Antichrist will be the most wicked individual to have ever lived because he will be indwelt by Satan himself. To show the unity of those who are entwined in this new world order agenda, they have signs that they blatantly flash back and forth to one another and also to the world for that matter to show which God they serve. 2 Corinthians 2.11 declares, To keep Satan from getting the advantage over us, for we are not ignorant of his wiles and intentions. And this is why you personally should be aware of what is happening in the world today in the areas of religion and politics and finally the financial status of this nation. You should not be ignorant of the wiles and the intentions of Satan as the New World Order is being set up. There are two signs the Luciferian New World Order people use most commonly, but there are many different signs which designate and identify the political leaders in the world, the false leaders in the church, and also those who belong to Satan's religious system of death. These are the two signs most commonly used. You may have seen people flashing these signs, but didn't know what they meant. and you will see them on clothing even Christian young people will intentionally wear them on their jewelry and body tattoos they wear them because they are popular signs of today unfortunately many parents are ignorant of this fact and cause there are true demonic powers in these signs and many people both in the world and unfortunately in the church have sold out to Satan for this power. Here are a few of the many people flashing the Luciferian occult sign who belong to the world. They have sold out to the devil for fame, fortune, power, and money. Here are a few whom you must judge in the church. The End But you personally must judge these things to see if these people's ministry, their action, words and deeds line up with Holy Scripture. 1 Corinthians 5.12 declares, What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? God will judge those outside. Expel the wicked man from among you. As I was researching on the net concerning this particular subject, the Luciferian sign, I was appalled to see those who profess to be Christians and leaders alike in the church giving this satanic sign. I suggest you do your own research on this subject and the new world order to see for yourself what is happening in our beautiful nation to bring it down. Not to make some kind of judgment in regards to people's words, deeds and actions. which defy the truth would be like sticking your head in a hole because you refuse to use the godly discernment which comes from knowing the truth. Don't forget, knowing the truth will set you free. Jesus has given us many signs that will signal the time when he is ready to return to the earth. These are just some of the signs that we are to watch for. Darkness and evil will increase in these last days. Paul, in his epistle of Hebrews 10.25, gives us the exhortation which pertains to this end-time judgment. He says we should encourage one another when we see the day of judgment drawing near. The false church will continue to grow more evil. Remember, in 1 Thessalonians 5, the word says that true believers who are obedient and submit to Christ's commands are not to fear or worry on the day of the Lord who will come as a thief in the night because God has not destined us for wrath in the judgment but rather he has destined us for salvation Hallelujah! And this is still very sobering and serious Jesus referred to the signs of the end times in both Matthew and Luke when he was speaking of the whole series of the signs when he said when you see all these things recognize that the Son of Man that is Jesus is near and he's right at the door. Dear believer, I think that we should know today at this very moment that Jesus is no longer standing at the door, but he has moved through the door and time is very short before the rapture and his second coming. God is showing young and old alike through dreams and visions and many of the things yet that are to come. In Joel 2.28 oh you've heard this scripture many times and the word declares I will pour out my spirit on all people and your sons and daughters will prophesy your old men will dream dreams your young men will see visions and even on my servants both men and women, I will pour out my spirit in those days, and I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and billows of smoke. The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord. There are many in various denominations who mock and make light of this very word. They say these things do not happen today, and these people who are receiving dreams and visions and prophecies are being influenced by Satan the devil. Oh, I say, what blasphemy! To say something is not of the Holy Spirit when it is of him is considered blasphemy against him. In the book of Revelation 3.16, Jesus is addressing the Laodicea church saying, So because you are lukewarm and neither cold nor hot, I will spill you out of my mouth. for you say I am rich I have prospered and grown wealthy and I am in need of nothing and you do not realize and understand that you are wretched pitiable, poor, blind and naked this is the very purpose of this word today this is one of those last day warnings being trumpeted to say prepare yourselves because Jesus Christ is on the way and he's not coming for those who are acting like little children this word and message carries with it the God given insight as to the personal preparation which is crucial and requisite to all who will have ears to hear in order to ensure their own salvation and survival during these turbulent next few years before the horrible and great tribulation comes suddenly upon the whole face of the earth God is revealing his end time prophecies for those who know him as Lord and Master. Jesus says in John 13, verse 19, Behold the former things have come to pass, and the new things I declare, and before they spring forth I will tell you of them. Now listen. In the word we have just read, Jesus said, I will spew you out of my mouth because you are lukewarm. These people were invited to turn from their indifference. Jesus was standing at the door of their hearts, waiting for them to open the door of their hearts to him. You see, the door of your heart can only be opened from the inside. You must desire to know him. These people thought they had prospered and were wealthy. But Jesus says, you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. in other words they were dwarfed and stunted in their spiritual growth and were like little children when they should have grown into full adulthood or manhood by this time and this is why he said I will spew you out of my mouth because you are lukewarm not too long ago the Lord gave me a profound frightening and very real dream that describes this scripture in a vivid and stirring way In the dream, I saw a woman with her children. The children were young people in their teens. They were not little children. They reported to the mother about something that was happening down the street, and evidently it was pretty serious because she immediately set out with something in her arms like a bag filled with something pertinent to address the critical situation at hand. She was a proper matronly looking woman. I saw her walking briskly along a sidewalk next to a well-built brick wall that you might see around a huge estate or mansion. As she was walking, I was like a seer in the dream. As she was approaching the area of her destination, she began to walk up an incline, and it seemed that as she came to the top of the hill, I suddenly saw a sight that was truly a sight to behold. I saw a huge gigantic ship that you might see in the early days. It might have been a Spanish ship, but it had large sails. There were many sails, so many sails that it would blow your mind, especially if you were a sailor. As I was following this woman, I suddenly began to rise above her and felt like I was being taken up in the spirit. I slowly went higher in the air and I rose higher and higher and could see clearly the full view of the ship now I can tell you that this ship was so large and so big and so massive that it took my breath away even in the dream and I'm thinking what is this all about only in a dream could something possibly be as large as this except possibly the ark that Noah had built, I don't know. As I was being taken up in the spirit above the ship, I could hear the sound of little children playing on the ship. And somehow in the dream, I knew this was a children's plaything. It belonged to the little children. In the next scene, I was taken above and beyond the ship and rose higher into the atmosphere above what seemed like the earth's orbit. I saw a massive cloud that was almost indescribable in its vastness and size. And this cloud was almost like something that you might see in the graphic of one of the layers of the earth. This cloud was like that. It was like seeing a cutout of something specific. Then suddenly I was taken alongside this layer of angry massive formation, which was so unbelievable and very frightening to see. the cloud was living and vibrant and it was ever changing in its formation and the power that was contained within it was unbelievable and I saw things coming out of this angry formation like being spewed out I saw so many things being spewed out like you might see in the eruption of a volcano and only the things coming out of this mass was not lava but the power it contained was as powerful as a volcano or could even be likened to the powerful energy of the sun that we have seen in videos that show up-close action of the mighty, indescribable power contained within the sun. The video shows that the sun is spewing out energy and masses of what look like molten lava, but we know that it is the intense heat that bursts beyond the circumference of the body of the sun. This intense, indescribable heat and power comes from the core of the sun's interior. What I saw being spewed out of this angry mass of cloud formation were bodies. Yes, I said I saw bodies being spewed out. As these bodies were spit out of this cloud formation, I saw the force of their being spewed out was in such an explosive manner that it caused their limbs to go flying off into all directions opposite of their bodies. And the belongings of these people were being spit out as well with just as much intense force as their bodies were being spit out. I gasp in horror after being taken parallel along this cloud for such a long distance to see and be shown a sight that I am sure must have dwarfed what Daniel saw as he grew faint and weak at the horror of what he was shown in the last days of what was to come. Well, if that was not enough, then I found myself as though I were below the surface of the earth. I was down, looking up at what appeared to be an opening of a large and vast chasm. This sight was equally as terrifying. I saw bodies falling into the chasm and the noise and the sound of this horrible sight was blood-chilling. I felt like I might have been seeing how it could have possibly looked when the ground was opened up and Korra and his family fell into the grave of hell that they had won for themselves by lying and rebelling against God and his authoritative standards. In the dream, I shook myself to wake up because what I was seeing was so horrible and terrifying and awful. As I shook myself to wake up, I did wake up and I said, Oh God, forgive me if this dream is from you and you had more to show me. But if this dream was not from you, then, oh Lord, I have just had a horrible nightmare as I was sharing the dream with my husband Lee and telling him what I shared with you just now I said Lee it is just like in the scripture in Revelation 3.15 that says I know the record of your works and what you are doing you are neither cold nor hot would be that you were cold or hot so because you are lukewarm neither cold nor hot I will spew you out of my mouth for you say I am rich I have prospered and grown wealthy, am in need of nothing, and you do not realize and understand that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked. As I spoke to Lee, the Spirit of the Lord spoke clearly to me and witnessed his presence to both of us. The Holy Spirit said, even if you were to tell them the truth of what I have shown you, the majority will still not believe you. and what the Lord has shown in his righteous justice and judgment in people being spewed out of his presence were multiple and millions of Christians who did not take him serious nor his ways while they had opportunity on this earth the unbelievable massive ship represents the church in her generations of time and even today the leaders and captains who are called apostles and prophets and evangelists, pastors and teachers, those who represent the church in leadership are those on this ship who have acted like little children by making up their own rules based on their natural instinct, mixing the word of God, not taking God-given discernment that comes and arises out of growing in the fullness of maturity in the place of union and fellowship with God and His word. You know, we talk about life in the spirit or walking in the spirit. But for most, this is all talk and the fruit does not back up the conversation. But the mature ones know clearly what God says in his word and they hold it in high esteem and will not compromise or water it down to make people feel good and give them warm fuzzies about themselves. And this is why they are called the faithful ones and will receive an overcomer's crown and a robe of righteousness. They are considered and represent the hundredfold in the casting of the good seed that took root in Jesus' parable of the sower, or are called the fathers in 1 John 2, where he speaks to the three distinct groups of people, that is, to the fathers, the boys, or the lads, and finally, to the little children. The upright matronly woman in this dream represents the segment of the righteous leadership in the church, She, the woman, does not represent the feminine gender only, but represents both male and female leadership who will step out and address and correct and expose the air in the church even when it's not a popular thing to do. Her teenage children represent those members of the church who are 60-fold in spiritual maturity and understanding and growth. They are young adults, or as John called them, boys and lads. They comprehend the difference between right and wrong in the natural, but also have been given discernment to no spiritual warfare which the enemy so cleverly schemes and devises. This dream is a serious warning to the church. God is getting ready to spew many out of his mouth because they have been living like Korah and his family. when members of Christ's body choose to vote for a candidate the lesser of two evils whose agendas promote abortion he or she is guilty of murder right alongside of the one who boasts of the number of 53 million aborted babies saying how proud he is of this accomplishment in America God will spew you out of his mouth too his judgment is on the way make no mistake about it Those who vote for candidates who promote homosexual lifestyles and the sick and nauseating introduction of bestiality being taught in kindergarten classrooms, God will spew you out of his mouth too. These are all symptoms of the degeneracy of the church. To be spewed out of the Lord's mouth is a heavy charge that is drawn up against church leadership and the people by the one who knows them better than they know themselves. and the judgment of God has reached its peak, and he will hold it back no longer. Severe punishment is promised, and God has become sick of these, and he cannot bear them any longer. And this is what this dream showed, dear church. This is one of the great final realities of the last days. Many will be rejected because of indifference and inconsistency in caring for their souls and living righteously. these people thought themselves to be rich but in fact they were dwarfed in their spiritual growth they were full of pride they had neglected caring for the requirements of their soul's growth and change and these people in the church of Laodicea thought they were well equipped they had knowledge but they took the knowledge that they had rattling around in their heads to be their faith they had gifts and they took their gifts to be a sign that God approved of their error and rebellion. They had perception or common sense, but they took it for true wisdom. They had the precepts and the commands of the Lord, but they held these closer than they did the God who issued these commands and ways. These people actually cheated themselves out of God and his son Jesus Christ and eternal life by preferring to live in the darkness. They deceive themselves right into the lake of eternal death. You see, sin invites God's judgment according to Proverbs 127 which declares when your panic comes as a storm and a desolation and your calamity comes as a whirlwind and distress and anguish come upon you Verse 28, Then will they call upon me wisdom, but I will not answer. They will seek me early and diligently, but they will not find me. you see trouble anxiety and stress is all that is left for all the inhabitants of the earth God's divine judgment according to his word is in the whirlwind just as we saw in this dream which I have just previously shared with you it is speaking of this last day judgment that is coming upon the household of God and finally then to the entire world This again is the final reality of the last days in which we presently live. The righteous will barely escape, the word says. We should not be surprised, dear ones, when we suffer for our faith. Remember, God is in charge and he sits above the circle of the earth and holds all power and authority over all things. He will direct the course of the world in the way that he wants it to go and you must be at peace with that. And finally, I would like to say the most important preparation that you need to make in these last days is that of tending to your own soul. Jesus tells us in Matthew 24, verse 4, what we must do as part of our preparation at this time. He says, Our precious Savior is telling us that we must watch, wait, and work. We are to be watchful over our souls by living righteous and holy lives. and also it is important to keep in step with the news in order to know what is going on in the world and also to keep events, people and the church in prayer. We are to remain faithful stewards until Christ returns for us. Our wait must be with patience and peace, not anxiety and fear. We must strive for perfection, better called maturity, as our blessed hope is anchored in our precious Savior. may God have mercy upon us all and let us all remain faithful to the end and this is what God is looking for in all of us all of these things must happen before Christ return dear church only true and faithful Christians will be raptured off the face of the earth before Jesus comes the second time while remaining multitudes of millions will suffer and die a horrible death in the great tribulation to be spewed out of the Lord's mouth as he showed in the book of Revelation and in my recent dream is very real it is very real dear believer seek only the unadulterated truth of the living God and do not believe the mix that many are offering these days this mix is a part of Satan's beast system choose life and not death and surely you will live forever in the Father's eternal kingdom of love, in His joy and His peace forever. The choice is yours. The choice is all yours. I've given much thought about Jesus' sobering and crucial words he spoke in Matthew's Gospel, chapter 7, verse 14, when he said, Narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it. And Luke's Gospel in chapter 13, verse 24, the word also says, Strive to enter by the narrow door. Force yourselves through it, for many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able. Well, we have another message which is entitled, Christ Commands a Personal Narrow Gate Experience. And you can hear that message by going to our website, www.shininglight7ministries.com. And when you come to the opening or the home page, you will see a link called Audio Christian Teaching Library. And you will find that message again called, Christ Commands a Narrow Gate Experience. In this message today, which I have titled, Why So Few Find the Narrow Gate, I will teach the major reason for the failure of multitudes of professing Christians in this endeavor. Multitudes of millions who call themselves Christians fall short of eternal life. But yet all the while, while going through the motions of Christianity, they think that they are saved. But we must understand, this is gross self-deception. This is really self-annihilation and self-destruction of one's own soul. This is not the fault of the pure and unadulterated word of God, because his word never returns to him void. It will always accomplish the purpose for which he had sent it and spoke through his prophets and mainly through his only begotten son, Jesus Christ, our Savior. Falling short of eternal life is not the fault of the Savior's saving power and his awesome might to raise one from the dead because he says, Look, I will do a new thing, and behold, I make all things new. this self-deception is not the spirit of adoption's failure to take control of our sinful flesh and his ability to lead us upward into eternal life but he assures us our salvation and gives us the right and longing to affectionately and reverently call out to our creator God saying Abba Father, my Father I love you. No, indeed, dear church, this is not the failure of any one of these reasons why so few fail to find the narrow gate by which they might enter into eternal life. I think we have to look beyond blaming God or blaming his word or blaming others or blaming God's providence and his divine ability through his promised helper to save and do this wonderful and awesome work of regeneration and restoration of our soul life. Too many people practice the blame game and stand on their innocence in practically every aspect of their lives, especially the knowledge of the truth of God and the truth of its practical application. they contend they didn't understand something that a five-year-old could understand and know the difference between right and wrong and with this kind of practice or pretense one is really trying to outwit or outsmart God and guess who will lose we need to understand these sobering and crucial words that Jesus spoke when he said, narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to eternal life and there are few who find it. Did you hear that? Few find that narrow gate. Does that cause you to sit up and say, Lord, let me hear you today. Open my spiritual eyes and ears and show me without a doubt that I may know that I know that I am not living a lie within myself and that I am not self-deceived in a self-destructive mode. Why is it, dear church, that so few find their way to that narrow gate, but yet multitudes of millions of professing Christians think that they have? They have no fear, nor have any inkling that they are perishing, but rather feel quite safe and secure in their unsaved condition and state, thinking that God loves them just the way they are. There is a lie that was begun by a man in the 1500s whose name was John Calvin. The lie is believed by so many professing Christians, and it is called once saved, always saved doctrine. this lie perpetuated by John Calvin is called eternal security this practice or doctrine in many multitudes of millions of people in the church causes them to let down in their quest for righteousness and truth and purity in their Christian growth many live like the world and there is nothing that is off limits to them because of this false and misleading doctrine in the warning given to the seven churches in the book of Revelation. Chapter 3, verse 16. The word declares, Because you are lukewarm and neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of my mouth. The Lord has nothing good to say about those in his church who are lukewarm in their profession of belonging to him. they thought they had everything that they needed concerning their Christian estate but God said they had nothing they were lukewarm in their pursuit of him they were lacking conviction they lacked the courage and the strength or just the conscientiousness to follow Christ's commands these were disgusting to him and that is why he said he would spew them out of his mouth they were invited to turn from their indifference and Jesus is pictured in these verses as standing before the door of their hearts waiting for them to open it up to him the door of our hearts can only be opened from the inside I hope to provoke you to thought today with this word and cause you to truly examine your own heart and your deeds and your actions your words to see that they conform with God's word, what his word tells us, what we must do in order to find that narrow gate and enter into eternal life through it and to finish our walk on the straight and narrow path or way. This is not an impossible endeavor, dear ones. The great creator doesn't bring the hope of eternal life up to your door and then say, aha, I fooled you, and then turn around and send everyone to hell. This is a steady and ongoing work that is to be taken very serious and is to be accomplished by co-laboring with God's Holy Spirit. He will bring you up to that narrow gate and show you the way through it. and he will keep you on that straight and narrow path as you remain faithful and true to him. Your feet won't slip and you will not deviate to the left or to the right. But precious Holy Spirit will keep you and he will give you the discernment and he will give you a tender and sensitive heart and you will produce the good fruit of righteousness as you learn to walk in the Spirit and keep step with the Spirit. So then, why is it that so few find that narrow gate? What are some of the reasons or hindrances that prevent so many millions from realizing or grasping and attaining eternal life through this narrow gate? Well, the reasons and explanation are plentiful and without a doubt show why millions will perish because of self-deception and free will choice to do as they chose regarding their share in eternal life. You see, you personally are responsible for understanding what you must do in this endeavor. You have a free will to choose or not to choose. And once you have heard of the necessity of salvation and the forgiveness of your sins through Jesus Christ's blood sacrifice upon the cross for entrance into eternal life. Then it became your responsibility to seek after it with all of your heart, all of your soul, all of your mind, and your whole being. Mine too. This was not a suggestion or an offer to be tried out. This was not to be delayed or put off. You were to attain this knowledge and hold fast to it. You are to consider this knowledge and new way of life precious. You were to hold this truth dear because it becomes a matter of life or death in all reality in your spirit and still it remains true that yet a few will reach the distinct, clear-cut or definite knowledge of it. It is just like a student in a classroom. Whatever energy and time and hard work they will sow into their studies, that effort will be tested and the result will prove their knowledge and hard work in each of the subjects. The teacher isn't looking for excuses of why the student did not achieve the grade that he knew the student was capable of accomplishing. You see, laziness is called slothfulness in God's word. Backsliders in scriptures were no more than sluggers. They are lazy towards the energy they put into learning God's word and his ways. Proverbs 13 verse 4 declares, The sluggard craves and gets nothing, but the desires of the diligent are fully satisfied. The righteous hate what is false, but the wicked bring shame and disgrace. Righteousness guards the man of integrity, but wickedness overthrows the sinner. Dear believer, this in itself ought to encourage you to pursue that narrow way with all of your heart. This should never discourage any person from finding the narrow gate and making it their lifelong quest to walk on that narrow way. But right here in this last statement is some of the hints of a few of the reasons as to why so few come into the clear and revelatory knowledge of it, which also prepares the way to lay hold of it or lay claim on it. The first reason why so few find the narrow gate is, is because of ignorance of God's love, His ways, and His word. This ignorance is the love that God Almighty has in His heart for you personally. This undying love has nothing to do with what you or I have done, but this love of the Eternal Father and His precious Son, Jesus Christ, whom He has sent as Savior to yours and my poor wretched souls, was to perfect the work of redemption in our souls, which was needed above all things in order for us to inherit eternal life. Romans 5.8 says, But God shows and clearly proves His own love for us by the fact that while we were sinners, Christ the Messiah died for us. And John 3.16, God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son. And 1 John 4.19, we love him because he first loved us. You see, most still seek some ground for that work that was already taken care of by God and his son's work on the cross and by the Holy Spirit who is freely given to all sincere and true seekers of the truth. Most people cannot help but try to do that work in themselves and for themselves, which leads them away from the suitable understanding that God's covenant favor is all sufficient. So because of this, they cannot come into the understanding and the knowledge of their participation in eternal life, let alone finding their way to the narrow gate. Titus 3 verse 4 declares, But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior to man as man appeared. He saved us, not because of any righteousness that we had done, but because of his own pity and mercy, and by the cleansing bath of the new birth, the regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, which he poured out so richly upon us through Jesus Christ our Savior. And he did it in order that we might be justified by his grace and his favor, wholly undeserved, that we might be acknowledged and counted as conformed to the divine will in purpose and thought and action, that we might become heirs of eternal life according to our hope. You see, the masses of those who perish are ignorant of how the love of God virtually and for all practical purposes discovers itself or supernaturally makes itself known to the man or woman's heart who has laid the ground to receive it and lay claim to it. And this is done first by the understanding and shockingly discovering one's own appalling state of sin and the corruption that has filled our whole beings. You see, many and most never have had the ground laid in their hearts to fully understand that their hearts and souls and minds are wickedly evil and sinful in the eyes of God and the very one who created them and is calling them to come back to him so that he can truly show them his divine love. But so many millions of people sitting in church are too lukewarm and are guilty of holding on to the baggage of the world and its clamor and stuff and therefore the ground of their hearts has never been prepared for the understanding that they are guilty sinners on their way to hell. Apostle Paul in Philippians 3 verse 7 said but whatever former things I had that might have been gained to me I have come to consider as one combined loss for Christ's sake Yes, furthermore, I count everything as lost compared to the possession of the priceless privilege, the overwhelming preciousness, the surpassing worth and supreme advantage of knowing Christ Jesus, my Lord, and of the progressively becoming more deeply and intimately acquainted with him and perceiving and recognizing and understanding him more fully and clearly. For his sake, I have lost everything and consider it all to be mere rubbish. In order that I may win, I may gain Christ, the Anointed One. You see, this discovery of Christ becomes the full and satisfying pearl of great price for you personally. Jesus becomes the discovered treasure. And you hold him dear because he is, after all, the door and the way into eternal life. And he does say in John chapter 10 verse 9, I am the door. Anyone who enters in through me will be saved and will live. He will come in and he will go out freely and will find pasture. In Matthew 13, 44, Jesus said, The kingdom of heaven is like something precious buried in the field, which a man found and hid again. Then in his joy he goes and he sells all that he has and he buys that field. And again, the kingdom of heaven is like a man who is a dealer in search of fine and precious pearls, who on finding a single pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it. Well, you see, another of the main reasons that most will not find the narrow gate that leads to the narrow path into eternal life is because they are not willing to part with the things of this earth life, just as our last scripture pointed out. Most are not willing to part with their earth life, with their precious treasures, with their precious baggage, with their causes in life. And this is that corruption of the soul that is not discovered and will prevent one from giving their all to the pursuit of knowing and cherishing the precious pearl of great price. The profession of these will remain empty. Their words will be vain and boastful words, only spoken in the air, only to fall to the ground, because there was nothing to substantiate or support the validity of them, which will be life unto themselves and possibly life to those around them. God does not want a part of your heart dear ones no he wants all of your heart a house divided cannot stand when a sinner is convinced that the promise of eternal life is for him he should examine the preciousness of that treasure who is Christ and he or she should count the cost of this purchase and the joy of finding his salvation and then hold on to it like your life depends on it. You know, it does. Your life really does depend on it. Few deeply realize this, and this is why so few find the narrow gate. Salvation through Jesus Christ is to be sought after as our only true treasure, and you should value it above all the riches and the gadgets and the stuff that money could buy. You should look for it in the scriptures until you come fully to understand its worth and excellence. You should deeply ponder it in the depths of your soul and should be willing to part with all in order to lay hold of it. Your total joy should be found in it and you should always be convinced that no price is accepted for it, but that which was spilled on the cross and cut covenant with you so that you may have your share and part in it. You see, the gospel truth is more valuable than any treasure on the earth that you may hold in high esteem. Psalms 19 verse 8 tells us, The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart, and the commandment of the Lord is pure and bright, enlightening the eyes. More to be desired are they than gold, even more much than fine gold. They are sweeter also than honey, the honey drippings from the honeycomb. This beautiful truth is hidden from most. It is precious and it comes with the price. Most do not want to pay the cost or the price for this beautiful truth. When a person sees it and hears it, it is their responsibility to sacrifice all that hinders them from laying a hold of it. They are to seek after it with all of their hearts. They are to sacrifice whatever stands in their way. They are to consider this precious truth more precious than gold and even life itself. Jesus said in Luke chapter 14 verse 33, so then any of you who does not forsake or renounce or surrender or give up, all that he has cannot be my disciple. And this is one of the reasons that so few find the narrow gate. This is the reason that the truth is hidden from most. They do not consider this truth precious. They do not seek after it with the earnestness that other people seek after gold. Too many today are seeking after those things that make them happy and bring them pleasure. These are only distractions, but this is why so many will not find the narrow gate. The truth lies buried, and it must be searched out with diligence. And let me tell you, once you discover just one little gem of truth, you will find yourself hungry and digging for more of the heavenly treasures, which are definitely, as the word says, more precious than gold or silver. You see, it is Christ Jesus whom you are discovering, dear believer. You're discovering Jesus Christ as your fulfillment, as your full and satisfying treasure above all things. The scripture said, the man finds a treasure for which, with joy, he sold all that he had. and Jesus is this treasure Jesus is this narrow gate you will find true joy in him true joy begins here with the one who is called the door or the gate in John 10 verse 7 Jesus says again I assure you most solemnly I tell you that I myself am the door for the sheep I am the door anyone who enters in through me will be saved and will live many are truly ignorant of this fact they know it in their head but they do not know it in their heart and it is knowing it in your heart that matters and counts because this is where the life in the word is found in Colossians 1 verse 5 the word declares because of the hope of experiencing what is laid up reserved and waiting for you in heaven of this hope you heard in the past that the messenger of the truth of the gospel which has come to you indeed the whole world that gospel is bearing fruit and still is growing by its own inherent power even as it has done among yourself ever since the day you first heard and came to know and understand the grace of God in truth you came to know the grace or undeserved favor of God in reality deeply and clearly and thoroughly becoming accurately and intimately acquainted with it. You see, it is by grace that you experience this hope. It is by grace that you understand the life of the truth of God's word and you are saved and you understand this deeply because you've entered through the narrow gate. This is not a head knowledge thing. You can memorize this verbatim and you can recite every scripture that defines this subject. But let me ask you this point blank. What kind of fruit are you producing that qualifies this truth? Is Jesus playing second fiddle in your life? Are you consistent in your daily pursuit of him? Not like a rabbit zigzagging from one day or one week to another week. Are you obedient to his command? Not just the one that you think is just enough to save you from going to hell. Understand, please, no self-righteousness can go through that narrow gate. People ignorantly think that because they go to church and even pay their tithes or give offerings and memorize many scriptures and do nice things for people, they believe themselves to be a nice or good person and a well-saved person at that. Many will not say this out loud, but it is the preponderances of their own heart. They are ignorant of the fact that this is a horrible boasting of their own heart and soul. This self-deception leads to eternal death unless it is recognized and bitterly repented of. Nobody who thinks in this way will enter through the narrow gate any more than the devil will. There are nice people, many nice people in hell. They did nice things for people while they lived on the earth, but they did not deem the Lord Jesus Christ worthy of their full attention or their notice of time. This kind of ignorance, again remember, is one of the major reasons in this message today, titled, Why So Few Find the Narrow Gate and Their Failure in Finding It. You see, if they do not find the narrow gate, who is Jesus Christ himself, it is again through no fault of the Father or the Son or the Word of God. It is personal choice. So far we see several major factors and reasons why so few find the narrow gate. And that is one, they have great ignorance of God's love, His Word and His ways. Two, people do not understand and do not discover their own shocking and offensive state of sin Three, they are not willing to part with their treasures on this earth in order to put Christ their Savior first They are lukewarm and really we could say these kinds are backsliders because of this preference in their lives understanding God's chosen way for us as his people is his revealed will to us and this becomes a law for us this brings us to the fourth reason for few finding the narrow gate that leads to eternal life this law, God's word and way of life is acknowledged as good and holy and just and spiritual It is out of this new way of life, according to God's precepts or his word, that man becomes a servant of righteousness and a true worshiper of God. This new way and understanding enables the new man or woman in Christ to worship God in spirit and truth, in the newness of the spirit, and not in the old stale way of the letter of the law, but in tenderness of heart and divine love that is ministered back to his creator Ultimately dear church this is why you were created And this is what God is looking for in you and in me. In John 4.23, Jesus said, A time will come, however, indeed, it is already here, when the true genuine worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth in reality. For the Father is seeking just such people as these, as his worshippers. God is a spirit, a spiritual being, and those who worship him must worship him in spirit and truth. It is here where you can exercise your faith and learn how to keep a clear conscience, a good conscience that is void of offense towards God and towards your fellow man, without personal understanding of God's love for you at first. The fact that he has sent his son to this earth to die a horrible death on the cross in order to save you personally from your sins was to be your first discovery of his great love for you. Oh yes, again, you can have head knowledge of this fact, but has it really penetrated your heart? has it really broken your heart when this fact truly enters into your heart it breaks your heart dear one the door of entrance is opened up unto you and you have begun your journey of seeking after the one whom your heart now loves your love is passionate and full of zeal and desire to know the one who thought of you before you were even conceived in your mother's womb and your love for him becomes real and genuine and is only fueled by growing in the knowledge and the truth of his ways. You have elected in your heart, just like Daniel did in his day, never to defile himself with the unclean things or like Joseph who maintained his integrity and purity with his God when he said to Potiphar's wife, how can I do this great evil and sin against my God? So this law, God's word and way of life, is acknowledged as good and holy and just and spiritual. And as I had just said, it is out of this new way of life, according to God's precept or his word, that man becomes a servant of righteousness and a true worshiper unto his God. And the only place where he can worship God effectively in the way he demands is in spirit and truth, because God is spirit. and it is only here where you will never want to offend God through any kind of sinful practice or compromise or pretense with your contri
