Scripture Text:
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God
is eternal life through Jesus Christ
our Lord." Rom 6:23 (KJV)
Last night, here in the Central United States, we
turned our clocks forward one hour
which means that we lose an hour of sleep. Now, that
never works for me no matter
what because when we set our clocks back one hour
(in the fall) and we're supposed to gain
and extra hour - I always stay up one hour longer. I
guess the point behind Daylight
savings time was to give the farmers more time in
the field. Did you get that my
friend? Oh I could stop and preach right there. And
I probably need to but you need
to hear the rest of this message today.
EVERYTHING you and I do is somehow tied into time.
If you're talking about a
birthday or an anniversary your speaking of a 365
daytime periods. It looks like a long
time, but the older you get the quicker those days
go. It seems like Osella and I never
have enough time in a day, and I'm sure you're the
same way.
I would like to ask you the question this morning,
WHAT TIME IS IT?
Is it 6:45 AM on
a SUNDAY? Is it your birthday or anniversary? Is it
the day you celebrate giving your
life to Jesus? WHAT TIME IS IT?
Well the Bible clearly tells us that it's time to
get saved and live for Jesus. We're not
just living in the old days or even in the day we called our life just five years ago.
We're living in the last days and things are beginning to
happen very quickly.
Did you know that only 3 in 10 people even believe
that there is such a place as
Heaven or Hell. Most have bought into the myth that
we will live-on forever and that
one day the people of Planet Earth will live in
Harmony and there will be no more
need for Heaven nor Hell. Why is that? Because
nobody preaches it anymore
because it's not popular. You're like one of those
Sandwich board bums in the
middle of the big city proclaiming the end is near!
WELL IT IS!!!!
I challenge
everyone listening to the sound of my voice today or
reading this email to go to
PROPHECYNOTES.ORG and sign up for the daily Prophecy
Notes Messages
starting up again tomorrow and find out just how
close to the END we really are.
But I want to deal with a couple of questions
concerning Hell, that I get asked quite
frequently.
Let's start with the most common and let me tell you
that you're not strange or off-
base for asking this because we have even had a few
ministers leave their
ministries because they could not believe in the
doctrine of Hell any more. So let's
begin with the big question that gets asked about
Hell shall we. Here it is...
"If God is so good, why would He create a place like
hell"
Well to put it rather bluntly... if our Government
was so good, why did they have to
create Prisons and Jail houses? You see how silly
that question is?
Every man has the
right to choose to be a good
citizen and follow the rules of his
government and he will be free to live and work and
have a good life. The same
follows for a person who follows God's laws - which
are laid out in the Bible. One of
the penalties for not following those rules is
written down in our text for today.
"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God
is eternal life through Jesus Christ
our Lord." Rom 6:23 (KJV)
Friend, places like
Hell and the prisons and
jail-houses across this country, exist
because some people will "choose"
to do the wrong
thing, and because of that, they
need to be punished. Why? So that they will learn to
not do it again and to know that
if they do, they will be punished again. If they
become repeat offenders, the penalty
becomes more severe. Ok, it makes sense brother
Wayne as to how this reasoning
applies to the existence of prisons, but does it
really pertain to Hell as well?
Well, in answer to that question let me first say
that God doesn't want to send any
one to Hell, and really we more or less send
ourselves there by sinning and
continuing to live as though there is no God and
that we don't need to answer to Him, but let me ask you something
my friend. The last time you sat
down of an evening to watch
Television, did you even think about GOD? As your
eyes panned across the room
and you saw the Bible laying there on that coffee
table or maybe over on the bookshelf
there, did you feel a tug in your heart to go pick it up and find
some "alone time" with God and just
hear His voice?
Friend, there are literally millions of people that
will identify with that very scenario I
just described: maybe you're one of them.
Entertainment has become your God and
spending time reading God's WORD - although you
"know" it's what you "want to
do"... even you KNOW you "NEED" to do
it ... it's just not that high
on the agenda of things for you in the
way of entertainment. Why? Because reading the WORD
of God changes things.
You know that if you read the Bible your heart will
be pricked for the television shows
you've been watching, and some of the movies you
have allowed in your home. You
know that you're going to want to change that in
your home and your spouse and your
children are not going to go for it. It's just going
to be a big hassle and you're not up
for that. So you sit back and take in another dirty
joke and watch another show
advocating a homosexual life-style, or some serious
"adult" situations that you know
you shouldn't be watching let alone allowing your
kids to watch. No! YOU decide...
"Tonight's NOT the Night to make such a change". You
promise to make it a matter
of prayer and sit back and just relax. Friend, you
wonder how your conscience
becomes seared? If you're not going to at least
get your self right tonight...WHEN
WILL YOU?
NAG NAG NAG Brother Wayne... can't you just give it
a rest?
NO!!!
We're not living in an hour of leisure. We're living
in a time where the enemy is
coming on strong and trying to steal our faith and
our bank accounts and our
families. I'd say it's time for some nagging to be
going on. And let me say here this
morning by the unction of the Lord, if you would
have given more of your money to the
Lord, or in some cases just given what you should
have given in your tithe to the
Lord, you wouldn't have lost all of the money you
have lost now - because it would
have already been invested in the Kingdom of God.
Did you know that almost half of
the people who voted for Barak Obama and gave him
money for his campaign were
Christians? That's astounding considering that he is
the strongest advocate for
abortion and by the way is DEMANDING YOUR MONEY
TO SUPPORT IT, than any other
politician we have had in the office of President or
run for the office of president.
Now, lest someone write in and tell me a I'm making
a political speech here, let me tell
you something... Politics is all you're going to be
left with if you don't get right with
God. There's not going to be any more Republican or
Democrat or even statehood
as you and I know it. America has already been
ordained by the powers to be as
THE NORTH American UNION! As citizens of this dear
country of ours, we were
never asked if we wanted that to happen, the powers
that be at the time - one of
which was our beloved George Bush who just left
office, decided that FOR US!!!
"Now wait a minute there Brother, you're starting to
sound a little anti-American and
that's the last thing we need right now."
Listen, we were anti-American the first day that we
decided to allow doctors all over
this country to kill unborn babies to the tune of
1.5 million per year. We were anti-American when we decided to kill of Teri Schiavo and
"play God" to countless others
in this country who are sick and have no insurance
or supposedly lead no "valued" life. We were
anti-American when we decided to allow our pledge to
be removed from our
classrooms and Prayer to be ripped out of our
schools. We were anti-American
when we as of Monday Morning tomorrow Morning, we will tell our service
men and our medical staff that
whether it is against their religious beliefs or
not, they must perform Abortions at will
and servicemen if so ordered must enter into their
own hometowns and inflict martial
law upon their sisters and their brothers - even
their wives and their parents and their
children... their children... all at the whim of
some bureaucrat who's on a power
crazed edict declaring phase! This is AMERICA MY
FRIENDS AND WE became
the UNITED STATES BECAUSE WE HAD COMMON GOALS! One
of those was
the life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness
-
one of the most famous phrases of all
times in the Declaration of Independence.
Every day, men and women have given up. There is no
hope, no help, no peace, no
life worth living, no liberty to be found, and
instead of the pursuit of happiness we are
all running on scared because our jobs are dropping
off left and right and if we say
anything against the current administration and they
hear about it, we could be
carted off to some prison somewhere where we will
never be heard from again.
Believe me... THIS ADMINISTRATION WILL SILENCE IT'S
CRITICS.
WHAT TIME IS IT MY FRIEND? It is the beginning of
Sorrows that our Lord spoke of
in Matthew 24.
"Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and
shall kill you: and ye shall be hated
of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall
many be offended, and shall betray
one another, and shall hate one another. And many
false prophets shall rise, and
shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall
abound, the love of many shall wax
cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the
same shall be saved." Matthew 24:9 -13
(KJV)
WHAT TIME IS IT? It's a time when the rider on the
White horse of Revelation 6 is
coming forth in "stealth-mode" and deceiving the
church and the political world with
his cunning.
"And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that
sat on him had a bow; and a
crown was given unto him: and he went forth
conquering, and to conquer." Rev 6:2
(KJV)
Notice that
he has a bow but no arrows. That's shows
his far- reaching powers of
persuasion given him by the Nations of the Earth.
What is now called GLOBALIZATION will
soon (WITHIN MONTHS) become a NEW WORLD ORDER and
soon following that,
the Anti-Christ will step forward and become a
complete and total dictator of the
WORLD.
Why do I bring that all up? Because that's where
we're at right now. We are on the
brink literally of FOREVER and we have a bunch of
people running around with no
idea and no inkling of the peril they're facing
because no one's preaching it in the
churches. No one's saying, WARNING! WARNING! You are
about to lose your soul
forever if you don't come to Jesus. No one's taking
the time to seek Him or turn to
Him in this final hour because they are still numb
from the Financial Scandal and
MASSIVE TAX HIKES, and the ENDLESS LIES coming
from the White House on
a daily basis.
Well Brother Wayne, You're a fool! is this
what you're wanting to be brought upon
yourself after 35 years of ministry. Is this the way
you're wanting to go out being
laughed at and scorned by those who once loved you
and held you as a man of God.
You want to go out of this world being made fun of
as a sandwich board carrier who
walks the streets of Chicago or New York or LA -
you've all seen them out there
declaring THE END IS NEAR! YES!!! If it gets one more
person into the KINGDOM
YOU CAN CALL ME RONALD MCDONALD FOR ALL I CARE!
JESUS IS COMING
AND WE NEED TO DECLARE IT AND CALL THIS NATION TO REPENTANCE
BEFORE THEY ARE ALL LOST!
You are not a citizen of this world if you are a
Christian. YES you do live in and must
obey the laws of the land where you are living - but
when Big Brother begins to get
between you and your faith and God and begins to
systematically destroy the very
foundation of the FREEDOM of the Christian - it is
TIME TO STAND UP AND BE
COUNTED ON! Jesus is calling you today to come home
my friend. You have
wandered Far away from God and now it's time for you
to come Home! Come
Home My Friend... Come Home... Ye who are weary Come
Home. Open Wide your
Arms of Faith, surrender to Him today and Come Home.
Pray this prayer with me this morning... it
seriously could be your last chance.
Just Say, Jesus, I have wandered way to far from
you. I want to come home. I'm sorry
for my sin and I'm sorry for my living like I do for
being ashamed of my faith, and I
choose you today Lord. I choose YOU! Come into my
heart today Lord and wash
away all of my sin and clean me out Lord. Give me a
new start. I know it's going to be
tough going at first because so many of my friends
and family have strayed from you
as well. But Today Father.. I am coming home to
you., and I pray that you would give
me the strength and the courage to stand up to them
and remind them that you are
coming very soon and that they too need to be ready.
I do Love you Lord Jesus and I
DO want to serve you. I come to you Just now, In
Jesus' Name. Amen.
Now Father, I pray that you will so anoint this
message this morning that all who hear
it will be so touched by your Spirit that they will
fall to their knees and say My LORD
AND MY GOD!! May there be many who will share this
message with a friend and
Father, I ask for your anointing to so fall upon
them that they will begin to once again
be a force to be reckoned with as we TAKE BACK THIS
NATION FOR GOD! In
Jesus' Name I Pray, Amen.
