can feel it right now i can feel it in my bones god's up in his house tonight amen sure shout amen shout hallelujah yes amen amen you may be seated all over the house thank you so much for being here for our wednesday night bible study prayer meeting communion time i'm excited i'd like to have our servers begin to ready themselves to in just a moment serve our church family the body of christ with our weekly time of communion something we do every single week nearly unless we have something major happening and we're not able to such as next week so i just want our servers to know that next week because it is the great demon debate amen will not be having our regular communion so seven to nine o'clock we literally have hotel rooms that have been filling up and a lot of people that don't normally come on a wednesday are going to be here and i guarantee you that live stream is gonna be jammed up it's gonna be amazing and so next wednesday night seven to nine o'clock we'll be having the great demon debate the uh positives and the negatives as to whether the church in the modern day of christianity has the power in jesus name to cast out demons now i'm going to be honest with you i can't even figure out why there would be a debate right either there's power in the name of jesus or there's not so there's not a whole lot of debate but we're going to come ready and uh got a whole literally you know the deliverance booklet that we use i literally have wayne working on an entire booklet for the debate i have like seven hours worth of speaking material that i got to get in in 45 minutes in three different segments and so it's gonna be fun i'm excited about it and uh it's it's gonna be beautiful let me remind you as duane charles gets here uh and we'll have a moderator there's not gonna be any booing there's not gonna be any overemphasis of amens on our side we're going to give him a fair shake okay we're going to be kind we're going to be benevolent and we're going to be loving we're going to be compassionate we're not enemies he just disagrees and so we're going to use the bible and show why the disagreement is really is foolish it's it's kind of what they call it a moot point well it's a moot point okay and so there's power in the name of jesus okay there's power in the name of the lord jesus and so that will be next wednesday night and so there'll be no communion because of that but let me remind you although we're not putting it out in the events and the memes and things like that the service will actually start at 6 30 because we like to worship around here amen so we're going to worship and get the presence of god in this place get the devil run out before everything starts and so we'll worship from about 6 30 to 6 50 take about a five or ten minute break and then let the moderator take over right at seven o'clock and we'll go for two hours on the nose and so it's gonna be a wonderful time one more announcement that i want to share with you that i'm excited about on father's day this worked out beautifully i got confirmation from my friend today that on father's day mr my pillow mike lindell will be under the tent with us amen for father's day and so that's gonna be good and uh he's gonna take about 20 25 minutes in the service before i preach and going to share his testimony if you've never heard it it is absolutely beautiful what the lord has done in his life and so mike lindell will be here so everybody online start making plans to get here on father's day believe that is june the 19th and so that's going to be a very encouraging and a very very exciting time well as we do every week we don't pay attention to who partakes and who does not you don't have to be a formal member whatever that looks like there are two prerequisites to taking communion you have to make sure you're born again and you have to make sure that you're walking in line with the holy spirit you don't have to be perfect but you can't be living in sin and open rebellion because the bible says you got to check yourself when it comes to a time of communion this is communion with the lord but it's also communion one with another because there's nothing in the new testament church in the book of acts that brought about unity in the body more than breaking bread together every single time they met daily from house to house so everybody on this side of the pole can begin to line up on this side everybody on this side of the pole can line up on this side go ahead and get both elements take them back to your seat and then we will pray together and take communi excuse me take communion together in just a moment and so don't partake up here sometimes people get confused and they do that take it back to your seat and then we will partake together in just a few moments and then we'll worship the lord together some more ((music playing)) ((music playing)) all my heart and soul jesus christ ((music playing)) ((music playing)) for jesus ((music playing)) oh it's all for jesus ((music playing)) it's all for jesus ((music playing)) ((music playing)) ((music playing)) ((music playing)) his presence ((music playing)) ((music playing)) ((music playing)) ((music playing)) ((music playing)) to hear my is ((music playing)) ((applause)) is ((music playing)) my ((music playing)) hallelujah hallelujah we hope that's the prayer of your heart tonight the apostle paul said in first corinthians 11 and verse 23 for i have received of the lord that which also i delivered unto you that the lord jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread when he had given thanks he break it and said take eat this is my body which is broken for you this do in remembrance of me ((music playing)) after the same manner also he took the cup when he had sucked saying this cup is the new testament in my blood this do ye as often as you drink it in remembrance of me for as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup you do show the lord's death till he come and all of god's people said here's what we're going to do tonight we're going to follow a little bit of suit for what we did last week i know it was a little different but i really enjoyed the flow of how we did this for our prayer time but we're going to add a little bit of extra in it just before we dismiss all of our students to go down to the student facility with brother jesse as we have our final song our final song of worship now there's there's three groups of people in the room tonight just like last week there are those that will stay in their seat and you can stand or you can see it and you can worship then there's those that perhaps feel the need to perhaps come forward and stand that lift holy hands or get on their knees or lay prostrate on the floor but then there are those that i won't that just just really want to press into prayer really when just pray in the spirit pray in the lord then as we worship during this last song i want you just to just to begin to walk around this tent and i want you to begin to pray just begin to pray out loud god can hear all of us at the same time we had somebody comment a little while ago on one of my facebook posts and she said i'm a witch from new york and i'm going to hex you tonight i said i'm going to live just fine i'm going to return to sinner the lord rebukes you in jesus name amen anger by no hexes and vexes and spells all that bunch of foolish nonsense this a house of miracles this place protected by the sovereign hand of almighty god you better know that we're going to walk around and we're going to pray the enemy out and pray the angels of god would do something great in this place and so you can begin to go ahead and pray and do that my wife's gonna actually lead us rather than doing that at the end that she does so often and so just before we sing ty is gonna lead us in a word of prayer you can go ahead and begin to come forward you can pray in your seat you can walk around the room she's going to lead us in prayer that will go right into the van worshiping with us and then we'll get up we'll get back into the word of god tonight lord i come to you tonight in the name that is above every name the name of the lord jesus and father tonight i can just tell in my spirit that there are many people here under the tent and lord they really are seeking you for a breakthrough a breakthrough that they have been seeking for a very very very long time and the enemy has came in to kill steal and destroy but lord you are reminding me that you are the god of abundance you are the god that is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we could ever ask or think and lord tonight i just want to speak the name of jesus over your children to remind them that there is power in that name that every promise that you make you fulfill lord because god you are the faithful and true one and lord tonight we can rest in the fact that you are the god of the breakthrough and in this season you are giving back double recompense to your children you're giving back double of everything that the enemy stole from your children prodigal children are gonna come home in this season and lord we stand on that promise of your word lord in this season addictions are going to break lord in this season marriages are going to be restored lord in this season your church will go from glory to glory and god we will live in abundance with you because you came to give us life and give us life more abundantly and lord we thank you that when everything around us is chaotic when everything around us is crazy and shaking all around us that lord you you are the rock on which we stand you are christ our cornerstone and so lord we thank you that we have a solid foundation in you lord i thank you that we can boldly stand on the truth of your word that the gates of hell shall not prevail against your church and lord tonight in this place there are no doubt many families in our midst watching online sitting under this tent right now crying out to the holy one of israel because lord there has been a war waged against us but lord we know whose side of the war that we're on lord we know that in you we have victory we know that in you you are going to part the red sea and we will walk through on dry ground because you're the god of victory you're the almighty god the mighty and powerful one marvelous are your works surely goodness and mercy shall follow us all the days of our lives and lord tonight under this place lord we stand in agreement together in this place tonight that no weapon formed against us shall prosper lord we cancel and rebuke every single curse that has been set against us every curse of sickness sin against the families in this church every curse of death sent against the families in this church we rebuke that we say that the devil is a liar and god we know that you are sitting on the throne right now looking upon us and saying to us i have this i have you in my hand i will never leave you and i will never forsake you and so lord tonight we bind and rebuke the devil in jesus name lord we lose heavenly angels to this tent in the mighty name of jesus lord lord this is a battle in the spirit god if we could tear back into the spiritual realm we would see just how real the enemy is and how great big our god truly is for the god of power there is power in the name of the lord jesus so tonight tonight we speak jesus we speak jesus into the darkness we speak jesus over our prodigal children we speak jesus over our broken marriages we speak jesus over addiction we speak jesus over depression and anxiety because in that name in that name is all power and authority been given so lord tonight we thank you we thank you that we can stand on the word because in the beginning was the word and the word was with him and the word was him and lord we thank you that tonight when everything else doesn't make sense your word still stands true in jesus name amen come on church he is worthy of our praise tonight ((music playing)) i just wanna speak the name of jesus over every heart and every mind ((music playing)) cause i know there is peace within your presence so i speak jesus ((music playing)) i just want to speak the name of jesus till every dark addiction starts to break declaring there is hope and there is freedom ((applause)) ((music playing)) your name is ((applause)) you break every stronghold ((music playing)) ((music playing)) ((music playing)) jesus ((applause)) is ((music playing)) you break every stronghold ((music playing)) is ((music playing)) ((music playing)) ((applause)) shout jesus from the mountains with jesus in the streets with jesus in the darkness over every enemy jesus for my family i speak the holy name of jesus ((music playing)) is ((music playing)) cause your name is is is ((music playing)) ((applause)) and i just want to speak the name of jesus and over every cause i know there come on is his name oh i speak jesus ((music playing)) come on say his name jesus ((music playing)) ((music playing)) jesus in the streets and jesus in the darkness over every

playing)) oh jesus we love your name jesus we love your names ((music playing)) ((applause)) ((music playing)) ((music playing)) is ((music playing)) ((music playing)) jesus jesus jesus the sweetest name i know amen church hallelujah all right students you can be dismissed right now to go down to your student link brother jesse and have your time with the word of god down there all the students can be dismissed while they're finding their place down there want you to find your place in the first chapter of the book of revelation go there please revelation chapter number one i just felt today in my spirit that things went so well last week that we were going to do the same thing this week that we did last week amen i just felt beautiful about it and last week it just said lord what do you want me to preach on he said go to the last three chapters of revelation and just read them let the man play the piano and just read the last three chapters and preach through it as it comes to you so tonight we're gonna do the first three chapters amen just preach right through it just whatever the holy spirit says if he says just read them with absolutely no description that's what we'll do the bible preaches itself right i get preacher friends all the time he's like man you just get up you just open the bible and you just go with it you know how long does it take you to study to do that look the stuff in the bible doesn't change just read what the bible says right i get these preacher friends they're like man i gotta study to preach one sermon for 15 hours a week i'm like look dude zacchaeus is still stuck up a tree for 2 000 years the story doesn't change there's still only one woman at the well right moses only goes across the waters of the red sea one time what you mean you got to study for let the bible preach itself we got to quit trying to come up with pretty flowery sermons to impress people and just open the bible and say this is what the word of god says because that's what people need this is not global vision facebook church this global vision bible church so how many believe that bible preaching ought to really come out of the bible amen so we're just going to let the bible speak tonight we're just going to let the bible say exactly what the bible says because the greatest teacher of the bible is not greg locke it's the holy ghost and so the bible line by line phrase but phrase word by word will help us and we're just going to read down through it we'll make what application and description as the lord tells us to father bless the word of god to our hearts literally the word of god that's all we're gonna do is just read the bible it's all we need to do it's all we've got there's nothing else but the power of the word of god it's all the authority that we have and lord your name is powerful we just sang about it your name is holy your name is not to be taken in vain but there's one thing in the universe that you've exalted above your own name your word nothing else the word of god and so tonight we read it we make our life application and then lord we walk away changed and transformed into the image of christ because your word has the power to change our lives and we thank you for that in the mighty name of jesus and all of god's people said all right we're going to jump right in and we're just going to let the book of revelation do its work sometimes people are afraid of this book they're dauntingly discouraged when they read this book but you're going to find out here in just a moment it's one of the only books in the bible that promises an absolute blessing for those that read and heed the words of this prophetic warning and you better know it is a warning because jesus christ is coming again and you better be ready revelation chapter 1 verse 1 the revelation of jesus christ notice it was his and his alone which god gave unto him to show into his servants things which must shortly come to pass i find that interesting that for two thousand years we've been waiting on the return of the son of god and he says it's a shortly coming to pass event you better be reminded one day with the lord it says a thousand years and a thousand years is one day the world says where are the signs of his coming why is it taking him so long to get here it took him four thousand years to show up the first time jesus is coming again and these things shall shortly come to pass and he sent and signified it by his angel that means messenger unto his servant john who bear record of the word of god and of the testimony of jesus christ and of all things that he saw he's an eyewitness to things that haven't even happened yet that's prophetic revelation right there blessed is he that readeth and they that hear the words of this prophecy just as we're doing tonight and keep those things which are written therein for the time is at hand it's interesting that nearly 2 000 years ago when this was pinned with the ink pen of inspiration the time was at hand then and you better know the time is at hand now and however close they were then we're 2 000 years closer to the coming of jesus christ john to the seven churches which are in asia grace be unto you in peace from him which is and which was and which is to come we call that eternality he has no beginning and he has no ending he's always been god and he'll forevermore be god and when you and i in our pea-sized brains are cold dead six feet in the ground the devil's in hell and america's on fire he'll still be the eternal god of the universe and from the seven spirits isaiah refers to them which are before his throne and from jesus christ who is the faithful witness and the first begotten of the dead john 3 16 for god so loved the world that he gave us what is only begotten son and god begot him from the dead and the prince of the kings of the earth unto him that loved us and because of that washed us from our sins in his own blood ((music playing)) we're living in a day in which religion and denominational hierarchy thinks it's a little bit too much to talk about the blood take the blood off the screens take the blood out of the bible take the blood out of the hymn books we don't want to sing about that slaughterhouse religion you hear me without that slaughterhouse religion you'll bust hail wide open what can wash away my sin nothing but the blood of jesus what can make me whole again nothing but the blood of jesus it's only by the blood that we are made righteous before the holy god of the universe so you better know it is by his blood that he has forgiven our sins verse six and because of that blood and that forgiveness he has made us kings and priests did you get that church you're a king and a priest throw your shoulders back and throw your head up high you're a king and a priest of almighty god the bible says unto god and his father to him be glory and dominion forever and ever amen behold he cometh with clouds and every say every i shall see him and they also which pierced him the bible will say later in the book of the revelation that a nation shall be born in a day when the israelites look upon him whom they have pierced and realize in that moment that jesus is indeed the messiah the messiah of the world and they also which pierced him in all kindreds of the earth shall well because of him you better know that in psalm chapter 2 the bible says he that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh the lord shall have them in derision and when the world in judgment is wailing god in mercy and holiness will be laughing you can spit in god's face now all you jolly well please but you hear me upstairs and down god will have the last laugh one day and the nations of the world will wail because of him even so amen i am alpha and omega the beginning and the ending he's the bookends of all of it saith the lord which is which was and which is to come the almighty that's a capital a right there i john who also am your brother and a companion in tribulation he said there's persecution there's tribulation there's famine there's problems the entire book of revelation deals with that and in the kingdom and patience of jesus christ was in the isle that is called patmos can i remind you he was there in isolation for standing as an eyewitness to the resurrection of jesus christ the only apostle to not be martyred for his faith boiled in chicken grease put on an island in pain in misery why for the word of god and for the testimony of jesus christ why was he there for the word of god why was he persecuted for the word of god why did the world hate him the same reason the world should hate us because we stand for the word of god and the testimony of jesus christ let the nations of the world say what they will let newsweek say what they will let cnn say what they will you can know a person by who hates them not by just who loves them and jesus said you better accept it when men speak ill of you and beware when all men speak well of you for great is your reward in heaven for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you and because jesus said they hated him first they gonna hate you somebody say something if the world don't hate you god will spew you out of his mouth because james 4 4 says he adulterers and adulterers says no ye not that friendship of the world is enmity with god whosoever therefore is a friend of the world is the enemy of god i want to be god's friend and the world's enemy i don't want to be the world's friend and god's enemy say amen right there and he said i was being persecuted for the word of god and for the testimony of jesus christ i love verse 10 i was in the spirit on the lord's day and i heard behind me a great voice as of a trumpet saying i'm alpha and omega the first and the last and what thou see us write in a book and send it unto the seven churches and can i say these seven churches are twofold theologically they are seven individual dispensations that show us the different church ages all the way up until today in which we are the laodicean lukewarm make god's sick church no doubt about it but i don't want to over speculate upon that too much because it's not an illustration it's factual theology these were seven real churches just as real as the one i'm preaching in right now and he said write these letters to the seven churches which are in asia unto ephesus and under smyrna and under pergamos and under thyatira and under sardis and under philadelphia and unto laodicea and i turned to see the voice that spake with me and being turned i saw seven golden candlesticks never let terminology that is describing things that we don't understand in the book of revelation spook you prophetically because the bible always defines itself the greatest commentary on the bible is not matthew henry it's the bible it will explain itself if you read enough of it and in the midst verse 13 of the seven candlesticks one like unto the son of man clothed with a garment down to the foot and gird about the paps with a golden girdle his head and his hairs were white like wool as white as snow and his eyes were as a flame of fire doesn't look like that weak anemic on a cross with a little bit of ketchup on his body that you see some italian painted some years ago this is the real picture of what jesus looks like not that idol that people have been worshiping for a long time the bible is plain you shall have no graven images there wasn't no polaroid with no iphone around when jesus was around we don't know what he looked like other than what the bible says and what the bible says looks polar opposite than what hobby lobby painted somebody say amen right there and his feet was like a defined brass brass in the bible as a picture of judgment from god as if they burned in a furnace and his voice as the sound of many waters you've been to niagara falls jesus opened his mouth and it sounded like niagara falls ushering forth it was so loud it was so so boisterous and he began to hear it and he had in his right hand seven stars and out of his mouth with a sharp two-edged sword and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength and when i saw him i felt his feet is dead and he laid his right hand upon me saying to me fear not i'm the first and the last i'm he that liveth and was dead i like that he was dead but we don't serve a dead jew in a palestinian tomb he's no longer dead he's a risen savior indeed and behold i am alive forevermore amen and have the keys of hell and death you know why deliverance works because jesus defeated the kingdom of darkness that's why and positionally colossians 1 13 says we've been delivered from the kingdom of darkness and translated into the kingdom of god's dear son we are going to heaven as if we were already there seated with christ in heavenly places he said i got the keys of hell and death write the things which thou has seen and the things which are and the things which shall be hereafter that's the threefold outline of the book what has been what is and what shall be hereafter 95 of the book is what shall be here after the mystery of the seven stars which thou saw us in my right hand of the seven golden candlesticks the seven stars are the angels that's the messengers the pastors the elders of the seven churches and the seven candlesticks which thou saw us are the seven churches and you'll notice it goes nothing but red letters from here on out for just a bit unto the angel of the church at ephesus the word ephesus means desirable if there was ever a church in the bible that was desirable it was this one but notice these things saith he that hold the seven stars in his right hand who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks you know why jesus walks amongst the churches because the church belongs to jesus he's the head of the church he's the fullness of the godhead bodily i know thy works and thy labor and thy patience and how thou canst not bear them which are evil thou hast tried them which say they are apostles and are not has found them liars these were the most disciplined people in the whole new testament they practiced church discipline they had discernment they didn't put up with witchcraft and tomfoolery in the church you've born and you had patience and for my name's sake has labored and has not fainted nevertheless i have somewhat against thee because thou hast left thy first love notice it does not say that you lost it it said that you left it if you lose something it's on accident if you leave something it's on purpose and something else takes its place he said you left your first love remember therefore from whence thou art fallen and repent and do the first works get back to doing those things you did when you first got saved or else i will come to thee quickly and we'll remove thy candlestick out of his place except thou repent but this thou hast thou hateth the deeds of the nicolaitans which i also hate he that hath an ear you'll see this phrase reoccurring several times in this book let him hear what the spirit not what the preacher not what dr bottlestopper but what the spirit saith unto the churches to him that overcometh will i give to eat of the tree of life which is in the midst of the paradise of god and unto the angel of the church in smyrna not the one down the road but the one in the bible right these things saith the first and the last which was dead and is alive i know thy works in tribulation and poverty but thou art rich you can be broke as a joke at the bank but if you have jesus you're a billionaire ((music playing)) and i know the blasphemy of them which say they are jews and are not but are the synagogue of satan you see even in the early church there were impostors people pretending to be one thing but they were there for a false motivation they were there for a nefarious reason and god said i'm going to expose them and you better know that even in this day god still exposes them fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer behold the devil shall cast some of you into prison that you may be tried and you shall have tribulation ten days but be thou faithful unto death and oh i will give thee a crown of life he that hath an ear let him hear what the spirit saith unto the churches he that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death remember i told you last week if you're born once you'll die twice but if you're born twice you'll only die once because you must be born again and the angel the church at pergamus write these things saith he which hath a sharp sword with two edges i know thou works and where thou dwellest even where satan's seat is it's amazing how many of the seven churches god says something condemning about allowing satan to creep in we better pay attention because the devil's on the prowl and thou hold as fast my name and has not denied my faith even those days where an antipas was my faithful martyr who was slain among you where satan dwelleth but i have a few things against thee because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of balaam who taught balak to cast a stumbling block before the children of israel to eat things sacrificed unto idols and to commit fornication by the way the problem with balaam was nothing more than pure witchcraft in the church it was occultism and god called it out for what it was and may we still be bold enough to call it out for what it is no matter what the news media thinks about us so hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the nicolaitans which thing i hate ((music playing)) he said i hate it repent or else i will come to thee quickly i remind you every time he says the word repent in these passages in red letters it's not to a drunkard it's not to a harlot it's to a church he says you better repent or else i will come to thee quickly and we'll fight against them with the sword of my mouth which by the way no contest there you let jesus open his mouth and start fighting against you and you will not stand he that hath an ear let him hear what the spirit saith unto the church is to him that overcometh will i give to eat of the hidden manna and will give him a white stone and in the stone a new name written which no man knoweth saying he that receives it and unto the angel of the church and thyatira right these things sayeth the son of god who hath his eyes likened to a flame of fire and his feet are like fine brass i know thy works and charity and service and faith and thy patience and thy works and the last to be more than the first notwithstanding i have a few things against thee now you know when the pastor grabs a microphone and says i've got a few things against you at the end of the day whoopie dee but when god's got something against you put on an extra cup of coffee and pay attention to what comes next because you can disappoint me and that's no big deal but when you disappoint god you're in a lot of trouble neighbor these are the things i have against you because thou sufferest that woman jezebel it wasn't the originality of who jezebel was she died in second kings it was the spirit of jezebel that began to infiltrate the church that is still alive and well in the american church and she must be cast out in the name of jesus she calleth herself a prophetess to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication and to eat things sacrificed unto idols there's two things that always go with the jezebel spirit fornication and idol worship always in every case without fail if you have a seductive spirit about you you are full of jezebel and need to be rebuked in the mighty name of jesus and jesus says right here you suffer that woman jezebel verse 21 and i gave her space to repent of her fornication and she repented not behold i will cast her into a bed and them that commit adultery with her in the great tribulation except they repent of their deeds you see god don't play any games he just puts it straight up pg 13 right in the bible i don't care what you think about it and i will kill her children with death and all the churches shall know that i am he which searcheth the reigns and the hearts and i will give unto every one of you according to your works but unto you i say and under the rest in thyatira as many as have not this doctrine and which have not known the depths of satan as they speak i will put upon you none other burden but that which he have already hold fast until i come and he that overcometh and keepeth my works unto the end to him will i give power over the nations i get so weary of people saying well you know global vision is one of those christian nationalist churches i don't even know what that means if you're a christian you ought to love the nation you live in god is a god of nations every tongue every nation every tribe every kindred every people shall cast their crowns at the feet of the lamb and say thou art worthy he that redeemed us back to god again out of every nation god is a god of nations and he says every nation is going to hear what you have to say and i'll give you power over them verse 27 and he shall rule them with a rod of iron as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers even as i receive to my father and i will give him the morning star he that hath an ear let him hear what the spirit capital s saith unto the churches and under the angel the church and sardis write these things saith he that have the seven spirits of god and the seven stars i know thy works that thou has to name that thou livest and art dead and that's where denomination has brought us in the american church we have a name that we're alive but we're dead as a hammer no power no holy spirit power whatsoever our church sign says we're alive but our services say that we're dead be watchful and strengthen the things which notice the next phrase remain strengthen the things which remain which means in these last days there's going to be some things that are stripped from us taken from us stolen from us but what god lets us keep hold on to it dearly and tightly we're in the fight of our lives and if you're not in the mood to fight go to a church that wants to be lazy because we're a church that's going to fight for what's right in these last days ladies and gentlemen we're going to fight for what's right strengthen the things that remain that we're ready to die yes we're ready to die yes we are ready to die for what we believe in for i have not found thy works perfect before god remember therefore how thou has perceived and heard and hold fast and repent if therefore thou shalt not watch i will come on thee as a thief and thou shalt not know what hour i will come upon thee thou hast a few names even in sardis which have not defiled their garments and they shall walk with me in white for they are worthy meaning by that they are clothed in righteousness he that overcometh the same shall be clothed in white raiment and i will not blot out his name or the book of life but i will confess his name before my father and before his angels and can i remind you jesus said in matthew and in luke if you're ashamed of me before men i'll be ashamed of you before my father which is in heaven he that hath an ear let him hear what the spirit saith unto the churches until the angel of the church in philadelphia write these things saith he that is holy he that is true he that hath the key of david he that openeth and no man shutteth and shutteth and no man open if you say oh my goodness i'm up against the wall what do i do you trust god because when he shuts the door nobody can open it and when he opens a door nobody can shut it nobody can cut you out if god's on your side i know thy works behold i have set before thee an open door and no man can shut it for thou hast a little strength and has kept my word and has not denied my name and maybe be reminded right now plainly in red letters we have a little strength but he's got all the strength he said all power is given unto me in heaven and earth go you therefore and teach all nations he's got all the power we need although without him we're weak behold i will make them of the synagogue of satan which say that they are jews and they are not but they do lie behold i will make them to come and worship before thy feet and to know that i have loved thee because thou has kept the word of my patience i also will keep thee from the hour of temptation which shall come upon the whole world to try them that dwell upon the earth behold i come quickly hold that fast which thou hast that no man take thy crown him that overcometh will i make a pillar in the temple of my god and he shall go no more out and i will write upon him the name of my god in the name of the city of my god which is new jerusalem which cometh down out of heaven from my god and i will write upon him my new name he that hath an ear let him hear what the spirit saith unto the churches and unto the angel of the church of the laodiceans right these things saith the amen i love that the faithful and true witness the beginning of the creation of god john chapter 1 tells us that nothing was made without him he is the fullness of the godhead bodily jesus was not just the son of god he was god the son god robed in human flesh god became a man so that man could understand god that's a theological principle that should blow your mind tonight he that knew no sin became sin for us that we might be made the righteousness of god in him i know that works that thou art neither cold nor hot here we are in the lukewarm church today in america and around the world the nations have been baptized in luke warm condition but i would that thou were cold or hot so then because thou art lukewarm and neither cold nor hot i will spew i will projectile i will spit i will vomit thee out of my mouth that's what the bible says because thou sayest i am rich and increase with goods and have need of nothing and no it's not that thou art wretched now look he's talking to the church when god calls his church wretched he's done with games he's done with messing around he's done with play time this ain't monopoly that's the bible he said the church in the last days has become wretched and miserable isn't that the case i meet more people in america that call themselves christians that are miserable the most miserable people i know are not sitting on a bar stool tonight the most miserable people i know are so-called blood ball bible-believing born-again children of god that forgot what god did for them when they got saved and they're miserable and they're heavy and they're burdened down with all sorts of cares and bitterness and unforgiveness they're miserable he said you're poor and you're blind and you're naked that's the words of jesus not the words of the pastor he said here's how you fix it last day's church i counsel thee verse 18 to buy of me gold tried in the fire that thou mayest be rich white raiment that thou mayest be clothed and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear anoint thy eyes with eye south why that thou mayest see danny crosby was a great hymn writer probably one of the greatest we sing hundreds of her songs in the hymn book she was blind somebody asked her what is the worst thing about being blind and she made this unbelievable prophetic remark she said you know what's worse than not being able to see she said what's worse than that is having actual vision but not being able to see what god's clearly put before you and all of us in this room tonight can see with our eyes but can we see into the spirit realm of what god's called us to do we've all got sight but few of us have real vision for what god's called the church to do in these last days may we be one of those remnant bodies rising up that can see into the spiritual realm and understand that everything is not what it seems and if we were to get all the way to the end of the book as we did last week we will notate very quickly very theologically and very understandably that the back of this book never ends with the phrase oh me it ends with the phrase amen and we win in the end because god wins at the end as many as i love i rebuke and chase her be zealous therefore and repent ((music playing)) behold says the lord i stand at the door this is jesus not talking to lost people this is jesus talking to church people jesus knocking on the door of his own church because in the last days they will be so busy on the inside doing work that they will not even understand that jesus is in the parking lot trying to get his own house that's the picture behold i stand at the door and knock if any man hear my voice and open the door i will affirmatively i will come into him and will sup fellowship with him and he with me to him that overcometh well i grant to sit with me in my throne even as i also overcame and have sat down with my father in his throne hebrews chapter one he ascended up on the high set down at the right hand of the majesty on high making intercession for you and for me let me tell you something when i say i pray for you i mean it but it absolutely does not hold the weight as what the bible says jesus right now is praying for his saints jesus is making intercession for the church he that hath an ear let him hear what the spirit saith unto the churches when i text them my text i said first three chapters they better catch me on the fly i'm a roll after this i looked and behold a door was opened in heaven and the first voice which i heard was as it were of a trumpet talking to me which said come up hither and i will show thee things which must be hereafter and immediately i was in the spirit and behold a throne was set in heaven and one sat on the throne and can i remind you that the throne is not nearly as important as the one sitting upon it and he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a stone and there was a rainbow round about the throne and can i say the bible allows us to take the rainbow back can i get a witness right there ((music playing)) in sight like unto an emerald and round about the throne were four and 20 seats and upon the seats i saw four and 20 elders sitting clothed in white raymond and they had on their heads crowns of gold and out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne which are the seven spirits of god and before the throne there was a sea of glass like under crystal and in the midst of the throne and round about the throne were four beasts full of eyes before and behind and the first beast was like a lion and the second beast like a calf and the third beast had a face as of a man and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle and the four beasts had each of them six wings about him sounds familiar to isaiah chapter six if you read it and they were full of eyes within and they rest not day and night they have one job saying holy holy holy lord god almighty which was and is and is to come and by the way that is written in the continuous tense so that means every moment of every day they say holy holy holy lord god almighty which was and is and he is to come and they never get bored and they just keep saying it and when those beasts give glory and honor and thanks to him that sat on the throne who liveth forever and ever the four and twenty elders fall down before him that set on the throne and worship him that liveth forever and ever they cast their crowns before the throne saying thou art worthy oh lord to receive glory and honor and power for thou hast created all things and for thy pleasure they are and were created i'm gonna have to stop but i'm going one more chapter and i saw on the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside sealed with seven seals and you better know when god pops the seals the news media won't have to tell you about it all hail will break loose when the wrath of the lamb hits this earth you better make sure you're saved you better make sure you're secure in the arms of the lord jesus christ verse 2 says and i saw a strong angel now when god tells us there's angels in the bible they're automatically strong but when he emphasizes one's even stronger we're talking about a strong being of god proclaiming with a loud voice who is worthy to open the book and to loose the seals thereof and no man in heaven nor in earth neither under the earth was able to open the book neither to look there on and i wept much because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book neither to look therein and one of the elders saith unto me weak not behold the lion of the tribe of judah the root of david have prevailed to open the book and to loose the seven seals thereof and i beheld and lo in the midst of the throne of the four beasts in the midst of the elders stood a lamb as it had been slain having seven horns and seven eyes which are the seven spirits of god sent forth into all the earth and he came and he took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne and when he had taken the book the four beasts and the four and twenty elders fell down before the lamb having every one of them harps and golden vials full of odors which are the prayers of the saints and they sung a new song saying ((music playing)) thou art worthy to take the book and to open the seals thereof for thou was slain and hast redeemed us to god by thy blood out of every kindred and tongue and people and nation and it's made us unto our god kings and priests and we shall reign on the earth and i beheld and i heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beast and the elders and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand and thousands of thousands saying with a loud voice worthy is the lamb that was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing in every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea and all that are in them heard i saying blessing and honor and glory and power be unto him that sitteth upon the throne and unto the lamb forever and ever and the four beasts said amen and the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth forever and ever and all of god's people said father thank you for the fluency of the word of god that's all we need tonight it's all we need ((music playing)) a church built on the word of greg will last a few months but a church built on the word of god will withstand the ages it'll withstand the culture it'll withstand the shift in time the grass withers ((music playing)) the flower thereof fadeth away but it is the word of god that abides forever not one shot not one tittle shall in any wise past from the law of jesus not one and when all of hell is broke loose and all of chaos has ensued the earth when the wrath of the lamb has fallen and father god has spoken ((music playing)) in your presence forevermore we shall be knelt before you in great humility and repentance saying thou art worthy thou art worthy and tonight we say lord jesus you are worthy ((music playing)) you are worthy you are holy ((music playing)) and when things aren't good god still is and you're a mighty good father and we love you and we thank you for something as simple as a book called the bible that we can just read for a bit and be so stirred that we're changed forevermore even so come lord jesus and all of god's people said amen amen ((music playing)) hello he didn't know i was going to be up here he turned around all shocked i don't know about you but i'm thankful for a pastor that still preaches the holiness of god it's so rare in today's society so today is pastor's birthday hallelujah ((music playing)) and he's not big on being celebrated at all but it's fun because you know what he told them they could give me a microphone a couple months ago and he's probably
