When will you listen?

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,850
Dear Friend, God loves us and
He cares for us.

2
00:00:08,851 --> 00:00:22,999
He loves this world so much that He gave His
only begotten Son to come and die on a cruel
cross on calvary to save us from ourselves -

3
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,300
- to save us from sin!

4
00:00:26,301 --> 00:00:33,201
Jesus Christ came and He paid the price
for our salvation, for our redemption.

5
00:00:33,202 --> 00:00:39,502
To many people, that has little significance.

6
00:00:39,503 --> 00:00:41,600
They couldn't care much about it.

7
00:00:41,601 --> 00:00:45,501
Because they don't believe in God.

8
00:00:45,502 --> 00:00:48,202
Many Christians don't really
care about that.

9
00:00:48,203 --> 00:00:56,103
They accept it as their inheritance,
their right.

10
00:00:56,104 --> 00:00:59,704
Just believe in Jesus and you're saved.

11
00:00:59,705 --> 00:01:09,705
My Friend, God wants to bring us to
repentance, to holiness, and to obedience.

12
00:01:09,706 --> 00:01:12,206
That's what He wants to do.

13
00:01:12,207 --> 00:01:17,800
Many Christians couldn't care about holiness,
they will tell you straight away.

14
00:01:17,801 --> 00:01:20,501
If you've got to stop sinning,
you're crazy.

15
00:01:20,502 --> 00:01:23,702
Because they love sin, they don't love God.

16
00:01:23,703 --> 00:01:28,303
But My Friend, God is speaking to us.

17
00:01:28,304 --> 00:01:32,804
He spoke to us, through history,
many times.

18
00:01:32,805 --> 00:01:35,905
He has sent his prophets.

19
00:01:35,906 --> 00:01:38,200
They wrote the Scriptures.

20
00:01:38,201 --> 00:01:40,900
He sent Jesus Christ.

21
00:01:40,901 --> 00:01:44,400
His words are written in
the Scriptures.

22
00:01:44,401 --> 00:01:46,500
But people don't take heed.

23
00:01:46,501 --> 00:01:50,800
The majority of Christians are
professed sinners.

24
00:01:50,801 --> 00:01:54,801
They only want to believe in Jesus
to be saved.

25
00:01:54,802 --> 00:01:58,102
But the problem is sin, My Friend.

26
00:01:58,103 --> 00:02:00,103
That is the problem - SIN!

27
00:02:00,104 --> 00:02:03,404
Sin separates us from God,
nothing else.

28
00:02:03,405 --> 00:02:09,500
And Jesus Christ came to take away
the sin of the world.

29
00:02:09,501 --> 00:02:18,900
So Jesus died for our sin, he paid the price so
that we shall stop sinning and live holy.

30
00:02:18,901 --> 00:02:30,400
But My Friend, if we keep on living in sin,
then God is going to speak louder to us, like
He is speaking to many people.

31
00:02:30,401 --> 00:02:37,500
A child only listens when he
is chastised.

32
00:02:37,501 --> 00:02:44,101
That is the way we learn understanding,
through punishment, through suffering.

33
00:02:44,102 --> 00:02:50,500
And even Jesus Christ Himself, when He walked
this earth, He learned through what He suffered.

34
00:02:50,501 --> 00:02:57,600
Now, My Friend, God has spoken to me many
times, and for a long time, I wouldn't listen.

35
00:02:57,601 --> 00:02:59,501
He's speaking to you, too.

36
00:02:59,502 --> 00:03:05,502
Because He cares for us, My Friend, and
He does not want us to end up in hell.

37
00:03:05,503 --> 00:03:12,403
He wants us to repent of sin, live holy,
so that we can come into His presence.

38
00:03:12,404 --> 00:03:16,999
But if we don't obey, He will
chastise us.

39
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,200
He will punish us.

40
00:03:19,201 --> 00:03:23,500
And He will punish us severely.

41
00:03:23,501 --> 00:03:31,300
However, if we do not accept correction, we will
go into hell, and that goes for Christians, too.

42
00:03:31,301 --> 00:03:36,600
They think that because they believe in Jesus,
they will not be condemned for their sins.

43
00:03:36,601 --> 00:03:38,701
YOU WILL!

44
00:03:38,702 --> 00:03:42,302
Jesus said - "Sin no more."

45
00:03:42,303 --> 00:03:46,103
My Friend, if you know Jesus, you won't
sin no more.

46
00:03:46,104 --> 00:03:49,999
NOBODY who sins knows Christ.

47
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:55,500
If you know Jesus and you're in a relationship
with Him, you've STOPPED SINNING.

48
00:03:55,501 --> 00:03:57,601
You've got no interest in sin.

49
00:03:57,602 --> 00:04:03,400
You're living holy because God is holy.

50
00:04:03,401 --> 00:04:06,901
And if Jesus lives in you, then you're
going to be holy.

51
00:04:06,902 --> 00:04:10,202
But if you do sin, He's going
to chastise you.

52
00:04:10,203 --> 00:04:12,900
And many people are being
chastised right now.

53
00:04:12,901 --> 00:04:17,601
The world is being chastised.

54
00:04:17,602 --> 00:04:28,202
The problem is that we don't listen until the
chastisement gets so severe, that we've
got no option but to listen.

55
00:04:28,203 --> 00:04:35,903
It's when we are desparate, when all other
help fails, that we start looking up and say -

56
00:04:35,904 --> 00:04:38,504
"Lord, God, where are you?"

57
00:04:38,505 --> 00:04:41,705
Is there a God?

58
00:04:41,706 --> 00:04:45,999
It's only then that people start
crying out to God.

59
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,200
Now, the question is, My Friend, when are
we going to listen?

60
00:04:48,201 --> 00:04:50,101
Because God is speaking.

61
00:04:50,102 --> 00:04:52,402
Many people say they don't hear
the voice of God.

62
00:04:52,403 --> 00:04:54,103
They don't want to hear.

63
00:04:54,104 --> 00:04:56,504
God speaks to everybody, My Friend.

64
00:04:56,505 --> 00:04:59,500
He speaks to you through your
circumstances.

65
00:04:59,501 --> 00:05:06,401
As soon as you think that things are going
to come right now, it falls to pieces.

66
00:05:06,402 --> 00:05:14,702
Just as soon as you think you've got things
sorted out, they fall to pieces, things go wrong.

67
00:05:14,703 --> 00:05:17,503
Why is that?
It's because God cares.

68
00:05:17,504 --> 00:05:22,404
God wants you to be holy.

69
00:05:22,405 --> 00:05:29,905
The love of God is leading you and guiding
you to repentance so that you can live.

70
00:05:29,906 --> 00:05:31,806
This life is short, My Friend.

71
00:05:31,807 --> 00:05:35,307
Before you know, it's time to go,
it's over, it's done.

72
00:05:35,308 --> 00:05:39,108
And then comes eternity,
which is forever.

73
00:05:39,109 --> 00:05:44,109
And it's either going to be eternity in hell,
or eternity in the presence of God.

74
00:05:44,110 --> 00:05:49,800
The only way you're going to get into
heaven is by obeying Jesus Christ.

75
00:05:49,801 --> 00:05:53,600
BY STOP SINNING!

76
00:05:53,601 --> 00:05:55,901
You've got to be cleansed of sin.

77
00:05:55,902 --> 00:05:59,202
Jesus will forgive your past sins if
you will repent, My Friend.

78
00:05:59,203 --> 00:06:03,000
But then you've got to live holy,
utterly holy.

79
00:06:03,001 --> 00:06:05,801
You cannot say you're a child of God
if you sin.

80
00:06:05,802 --> 00:06:08,100
A child of God does the will of God.

81
00:06:08,101 --> 00:06:11,801
He follows Jesus Christ and
he obeys Him.

82
00:06:11,802 --> 00:06:14,902
Jesus came to do the will of the Father.

83
00:06:14,903 --> 00:06:20,800
And He calls us also to come into the house
of the Father that we do the will of the Father.

84
00:06:20,801 --> 00:06:23,401
Jesus didn't speak His Own words.

85
00:06:23,402 --> 00:06:28,200
The words Jesus spoke were the
words of God Himself.

86
00:06:28,201 --> 00:06:32,800
People don't want to believe in Jesus,
they don't want to obey Jesus.

87
00:06:32,801 --> 00:06:37,300
Many Christians don't accept
the words of Jesus.

88
00:06:37,301 --> 00:06:42,000
They say He was just the Son of God -
incidental.

89
00:06:42,001 --> 00:06:45,000
They love the Bible but they
don't love Jesus.

90
00:06:45,001 --> 00:06:47,900
They've got no relationship with Him.

91
00:06:47,901 --> 00:06:56,100
My Friend, if you don't love Jesus, if you don't
stop sinning, you're going to end up in hell.

92
00:06:56,101 --> 00:07:00,200
There's only one way -
Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

93
00:07:00,201 --> 00:07:04,500
But He is speaking to you right now.

94
00:07:04,501 --> 00:07:10,801
The choice is ours -
are you going to listen, are you going
to repent from your sin?

95
00:07:10,802 --> 00:07:13,500
UTTERLY REPENT!

96
00:07:13,501 --> 00:07:16,800
Not just say, I'm sorry, I've gone wrong,
and I'm a sinner.

97
00:07:16,801 --> 00:07:20,100
No, My Friend, no sinners
will go into heaven.

98
00:07:20,101 --> 00:07:24,900
Only sons of God, and sons of God are saints -
they have STOPPED SINNING!

99
00:07:24,901 --> 00:07:27,100
They are new born.

100
00:07:27,101 --> 00:07:29,600
Christ has come into them.

101
00:07:29,601 --> 00:07:31,700
They SIN no more!

102
00:07:31,701 --> 00:07:35,500
A born again person lives for God.

103
00:07:35,501 --> 00:07:37,200
He's not a sinner no more.

104
00:07:37,201 --> 00:07:40,000
He's not interested in the things
of the world.

105
00:07:40,001 --> 00:07:48,999
He's not interested in the television and all
the shows in Hollywood and the fashion and
self-realization and all that.

106
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:53,900
He's interested in God, the
Kingdom of God.

107
00:07:53,901 --> 00:07:56,999
He's got a testimony, he talks about Jesus.

108
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:02,100
That's all he's got is Jesus,
but Jesus is His life.

109
00:08:02,101 --> 00:08:06,700
And he's a son of God, he's living
in the presence of God.

110
00:08:06,701 --> 00:08:08,900
He cannot tolerate sin, NOT AT ALL!

111
00:08:08,901 --> 00:08:11,901
HE CANNOT STAND IT!

112
00:08:11,902 --> 00:08:18,800
If you've got a tolerance for sin, or if you still
love sin, My Friend, you're not a son of God -

113
00:08:18,801 --> 00:08:21,999
You're a son of the devil.

114
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,900
God is speaking to you, My Friend -
He's speaking to all of us.

115
00:08:25,901 --> 00:08:28,600
He's speaking to this world.

116
00:08:28,601 --> 00:08:31,700
He's speaking very harshly.

117
00:08:31,701 --> 00:08:35,100
When are you going to listen, My Friend?

118
00:08:35,101 --> 00:08:44,100
Don't delay too long, My Friend, because that
door is closing, and for many that door has closed!

119
00:08:44,101 --> 00:08:52,700
For many it's closing today -
today is their dying day.

120
00:08:52,701 --> 00:08:54,300
Are you ready?

121
00:08:54,301 --> 00:08:57,300
Do you know when your time
will come, My Friend?

122
00:08:57,301 --> 00:09:00,600
He's speaking to you right now, My Friend.

123
00:09:00,601 --> 00:09:04,500
He's saying to you - "Turn away from your sin."

124
00:09:04,501 --> 00:09:10,900
Go on your knees, repent, ask Jesus
for forgiveness.

125
00:09:10,901 --> 00:09:13,401
Sin no more.

126
00:09:13,402 --> 00:09:15,400
Follow Jesus Christ.

127
00:09:15,401 --> 00:09:17,700
That's the message, My Friend.

128
00:09:17,701 --> 00:09:24,100
Make Jesus the Lord of your life, the King
of your life, and serve Him and not yourself.

129
00:09:24,101 --> 00:09:28,900
My Friend, if you don't serve Jesus,
you won't go into heaven.

130
00:09:28,901 --> 00:09:35,100
If He is not the most important in your life,
you won't go into heaven, My Friend.

131
00:09:35,101 --> 00:09:37,500
It's not incidental.

132
00:09:37,501 --> 00:09:41,900
It's not just a ticket you get by
saying a sinner's prayer.

133
00:09:41,901 --> 00:09:51,300
You've got to obey Him 100%, you've got to stop
sinning 100% and live for Christ in utter
obedience to Him!

134
00:09:51,301 --> 00:09:55,900
The door is narrow, My Friend, and very
few will go in there.

135
00:09:55,901 --> 00:09:59,901
The only way you're going to go in there is
if Jesus opens it to you.

136
00:09:59,902 --> 00:10:04,100
And He will say to terribly many -
"Go away, I never knew you."

137
00:10:04,101 --> 00:10:06,900
Because they had no need for Him.

138
00:10:06,901 --> 00:10:08,700
They wouldn't listen to Him.

139
00:10:08,701 --> 00:10:11,200
They loved their sin, they didn't love God.

140
00:10:11,201 --> 00:10:14,100
They wouldn't obey.

141
00:10:14,101 --> 00:10:18,200
How long must God still speak
to you, My Friend?

142
00:10:18,201 --> 00:10:21,100
The thing is, how long will He speak?

143
00:10:21,101 --> 00:10:24,900
We don't know when He's going to stop
speaking and when the door closes.

144
00:10:24,901 --> 00:10:31,800
Are you ready?
Are you inside or out?

145
00:10:31,801 --> 00:10:34,300
May Jesus Bless You.
