Dedication:

Hebrews 12:25-29 "See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more [shall not] we [escape], if we turn away from him that [speaketh] from heaven: Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. And this [word], Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: For our God [is] a consuming fire."

We must submit to the purging fire of almighty God before we can enter into the Kingdom of God!

Preface:

Isaiah 13:9 "Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it."

It is very easy to be lulled into a false sense of security. This world, as we know it, has existed for ages, and we assume that it will endure for all time. However, sin and wickedness have overtaken us now. Things cannot continue as they have been; time is running out for the human race. Almighty God will soon intervene in our affairs and make His presence known, before we destroy one another and the earth itself.

The Lord is disappointed with man. We have strayed far from His original plans for us. We have turned our backs on Him and we alienate one another. Our love has grown cold and we have succumbed to all sorts of depravity. We are greedy, covetous and worship the creation rather than our Creator. We have no moral integrity or spiritual maturity. Sin and darkness threaten to overtake us if we don't change our ways.

We have had more than adequate warning. We are approaching the consummation of all things, and we face an impending judgment for all of our works in the flesh. Those of us who have obeyed our God and walked according to His ways will be gathered into His everlasting Kingdom. However, those who are evil, stubborn and rebellious will be banished to the eternal lake of fire to suffer never ending punishment.

Acts 8:22 "Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee."

Our God takes no pleasure in the destruction of any of His children, but the wages for sin are death. We cannot avoid permanent punishment, if we are deliberately evil and unrepentant. We must turn from our wicked ways and ask for His forgiveness. If we are sincere, the Lord will be merciful and compassionate to us and provide us with a full pardon, to include eternal salvation through His Son, Jesus Christ.

Each of us must repent of our sins and turn back to the Lord before it is too late. He is not a God of compromise. We cannot deliberately defy Him or disobey any of His commandments. He has perfect moral standards for us and we cannot deviate from them and hope to be spared. We must appropriate the righteousness that comes only through a sincere faith in His beloved Son and all that He did for us.

All of us have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. We need redemption through the merits of Jesus' Blood to be able to enter into His awesome presence. Our sanctification should be of the utmost importance to us. We must crucify our flesh and subdue our souls if we wish to spend all of eternity with God. By faith, we can indeed be made holy and perfect, just as God Himself is holy and perfect.

John 3:36 "He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him."

This world will soon fade away and nothing will be left of the wickedness that we once knew. The Lord will mercifully blot it from our memories. We should accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior and be baptized in His name, so that we can inherit eternal life and all of its many benefits. Our minds will then be renewed in the truth and our behavior will be transformed until it becomes righteous and godly.

We can also ask for and receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit of God, so that our lives are forever changed. We will develop attributes like those of God Himself and eventually become loving, peaceful and joyous. Goodness and gentleness will overtake us and we will embrace our divine destinies. We will willingly and enthusiastically serve the Lord and His people with all meekness, temperance and longsuffering.

The Gospel must be preached throughout the entire world, so that no one who is sincere will be left behind. We will persuade everyone we meet to repent of all their sins and be born again in their spirits. Many will be set free in the truth and appropriate the righteousness of Jesus Christ Himself. Death will no longer reign over them. They will be translated out of the kingdom of darkness into the light for all time.

Ephesians 5:15-17 "See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord [is]."

No one is too far gone or so incorrigible that the Blood of Jesus Christ cannot redeem him from the wrath of God that is coming on all of the earth. It is possible for every man, woman and child to repent of all their sins and turn towards the Lord for forgiveness. We can change our fate very easily if we are open to salvation. There is no reason why any of us should be eternally condemned.

If we choose to be born again in our spirits, walk in love and be obedient, we will live forever in the presence of almighty God Himself. Very soon now heaven will be ushered into the earth realm in His everlasting Kingdom. There will be no more pain and suffering, no wickedness or evil, no disease and death. We will learn to dwell as brothers and sisters in love, peace and unity.

The Lord will take vengeance on all of our enemies and protect us from all harm. He will provide all our needs in abundance, even before we ask Him. If we have been faithful to serve Him and His people, we will share in Christ's very own honor and glory. We will judge both men and angels; be appointed kings and priests; and rule and reign with Jesus Christ over all nations of the world.

Introduction:

Deuteronomy 4:24 "For the LORD thy God [is] a consuming fire, [even] a jealous God."

Our God is a jealous God; He doesn't want us to put anyone or anything before Him. We are the center of His attention and He insists on having first place in our lives. If we have misplaced priorities or purposely reject Him, we will eventually incur His anger and punishment. Even though He is infinitely patient with us, the Lord will not tolerate willful disobedience on our part.

None of us is righteous in our own strength. We all miss the mark from time to time and need redemption by the Blood of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. If we repent of all our sins, confess Him before God and man and are baptized in His name, we will receive the gift of eternal life. However, if we are stubborn and rebellious, we will perish in our own ignorance and rebellion.

There is no way that any of us can be in right standing with God unless we are born again in our spirit man. He is all holy and if we desire fellowship with Him, we must purge and cleanse ourselves. We should follow all His commandments and walk in love at all times. We must also cooperate with His perfect will for our lives and present our bodies as living sacrifices to Him.

Leviticus 20:7-8 "Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I [am] the LORD your God. And ye shall keep my statutes, and do them: I [am] the LORD which sanctify you."

As we grow and mature in the deep things of God, we will be strengthened in our spirits and sin will no longer have a strong hold on us. If we should ever make mistakes, we always have the gift of grace available to us. If we repent from the heart and renounce all our sin, the Lord is ever faithful to forgive us and restore our righteousness as it was before.

We should crucify our flesh and forego all of our selfish soul ambitions. We have been bought with a dear price - the very Blood of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We should imitate His laid down life and resume His ministry where He left off. We have divine destinies to fulfill in the days that lie ahead and we cannot be lax in serving our God or His people.

If we sanctify ourselves and consecrate our lives to the Lord, He will imbue us with His very own power and authority to act on His behalf. We will set matters straight in this world and warn all mankind of the fiery judgment that will soon come on all of us. We will offer others hope for their future, if they repent and receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.

2Peter 2:9 "The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:"

The days are drawing short and there is darkness and deception all around us. We must be godly role models to others and share our faith as the Lord arranges our contacts. The Gospel of the Kingdom of God must be preached to every man, woman and child in every nation of the world. No one should perish for lack of knowledge in the truth. Salvation must be made available to all those who are receptive to it.

The Lord loves all of mankind with a deep abiding love, but He has no tolerance for deliberate rebellion of any kind. If we have strayed from the path of righteousness, we run the risk of incurring His anger and suffering serious repercussions. Very soon now, He will sovereignly move to purge the earth of all that is wicked and evil. He is a just God and He will bring a fair and equitable judgment on every one of us.

All of the ungodly will be destroyed in the wrath of almighty God. Christ will banish them to the eternal lake of fire where there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. He will rid the world of all wars, violence and conflict. There will be no more greed and covetousness permitted. He will level all playing fields and abolish social injustice. All men will be treated with fairness, dignity and respect, as the Lord desires.

We should repent from the heart and turn towards our Creator. He wants to bless us and provide for all our needs in abundance. It is His heart's desire to nurture and protect us from all harm. There is no good thing that He will ever withhold from those who walk in His ways and are obedient to all of His commandments. He will gather those who are righteous to Himself for all of eternity in the everlasting Kingdom of God.

Numbers 23:19 "God [is] not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do [it]? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?"

The Lord never lies; He is always true to His Word. His Son, Jesus Christ, will soon return to us and there will be no more second chances available. He will render judgment on all of mankind and drive out the wicked from among us. Those who are righteous will shine with the light of His glory and dwell in His presence in the everlasting Kingdom of God.

We will have peace and prosperity, health and longevity, safety and security, joy and freedom for all time. The Lord will take vengeance on all of our enemies and restore everything that has been taken from us. We will be given new, resurrection bodies that are impervious to disease and death. We will live forever in a veritable paradise on this earth, as He promised.

The Lord will provide all of our needs in abundance, even before we ask Him. We will worship Him in Spirit and in truth and celebrate all of His sabbaths and feast days. We are His sons and daughters and He will be the center of our attention, as He desires. There will never be a separation between God and man ever again; we will be reunited for all eternity.
