bless the message please bring it please let it bring glory to you please open
our hearts please open our ears to your message and help us keep distractions
to a minimum in Jesus name we pray amen man it's great to be here
tonight thank you everyone who came out and I just want to say before I
get started preaching that there is a bunch of stuff out there in the lobby
audio CDs USB flash drives all right and also DVDs of a film that we put
together recently called professing themselves to be wise and we brought a
few hundred DVDs so there should be plenty for you to grab one two three
whatever you want to do with that and it's got a wonderful picture on the
back of me with the dr. Spergel glasses with the taped up and
everything like that I was out soul winning the other day and I gave it
to a guy that we had just won to the Lord and he said oh is this a
picture of you back in the day and I was like no I was never that geeky you
know it was just a joke but anyway yeah be sure to grab that stuff it's all
free load up on it make sure it all goes to a good home give it away use it
don't enshrine it but Matthew chapter number 16 is where I want to
start tonight the title of this sermon is the signs of the times the signs of
the time starting in verse number one the Bible reads the Pharisees also with
the Sadducees came and tempting desired him that he would show them a
sign from heaven he answered and said to them when it is evening you say it
will be fair weather for the sky is red and in the morning it will be foul
weather today for the sky is red and lowering oh ye hypocrites ye can
discern the face of the sky but can you not discern the signs of the times
a wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign and there shall no
sign be given unto it but the sign of the Prophet Jonas and he left them
and departed now if you would turn to first Thessalonians chapter number five
first Thessalonians chapter number five of course follows up the famous
passage on the rapture at the end of first Thessalonians chapter four one
of the most common scriptures quoted in a Baptist Church one of the most
famous scriptures of all time is that scripture at the end of first
Thessalonians chapter four but not a lot of people follow it up with
reading into chapter five and getting more of the context where Jesus and his
second coming are said to be as a thief in the night only to the unsaved but he
says that we that are saved are not in darkness that that day should
overtake us as a thief we are not going to be taken by surprise because
we have the Bible telling us all the things that will lead up to it and we
can see the signs of the times that's why he says in verse number one of
first Thessalonians five but of the times and the seasons brethren you have
no need that I write unto you you don't need me to tell you you
already know he's saying you yourselves perfectly know verse two that
the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night for when they
shall say peace and safety then sudden destruction cometh upon them as
travail upon a woman with child and they shall not escape but ye
brethren are not in darkness that that day should overtake you as a
thief year all the children of light and the children of the day we are
not of the night nor of darkness therefore let us not sleep as do
others but let us watch and be sober let us watch we don't have to
be in the dark tonight we have the word of God to tell us about the
events of the end times we know the sequence of events we know what things
will be like when the end is approaching we can read it in the Bible
and then if we have our eyes open we can discern the signs of the times
that we're living in I submit to you that if we look around today we can
see many signs that we are living in the last days no man knoweth the day
or the hour of Christ's second coming I don't pretend to know when it's
going to be it could be a few years from now it could be a few decades
from now I have no idea but I'll tell you this right now there are many
things that we see today that would indicate to us that we are rapidly
approaching the end we can discern the signs of the times as God's people go
if you would to 2nd Timothy chapter number 3 2nd Timothy chapter 3 there
are many scriptures in the New Testament that talk about what things
are going to be like in the last days that describe the world shortly
before Christ's second coming and we see a lot of those things happening
all around us you know even if we were to just look at the technology we can
see now that the technology is in place where the scriptures in the book
of Revelation could literally be fulfilled many people in the past looked
at things in the book of Revelation and they thought a lot of it was
figurative that was actually literal because they thought to themselves this
would be impossible for example if a few hundred years ago you're reading a
scripture that talks about how no man is going to be able to buy or sell
without a mark in his right hand or in his forehead you'd say to yourself
how could that be there's always going to be a black market there could
always be people that would just pay with cash and that would use silver and
gold and coins and paper money and there's already a great black market
they can't really stop people from buying or selling but now in 2016 we see
the technology in place for a cashless society a cashless society
and the wallet that you have filled with paper money is only worth
anything because people have agreed that it's worth something and as soon
as the government were to say at the end of this year you know December
31st whatever the year that money is going to be no good anymore you need to
turn that into the bank and it'll go in your electronic account then that
paper money would be worthless at that point and we're getting to the point
now where you could see the transition is very possible to a
society with no cash where every transaction is electronic and look how
easy it was for them to shut down our PayPal accounts as soon as we started
preaching things that they didn't like and obviously that's not you know the
tribulation but it just shows you how that's where things are going you
preach the Word of God you don't get on board we'll shut down your account
now thank God there's still cash there's still checks we could go shop
around and find other companies to do online banking through and online
transactions but what when it's all integrated and they just push a button
and your account is frozen your account is seized we can see how that's
possible the technology is there it's not far-fetched at all then you look at
scriptures for example in Revelation chapter 11 where it refers to the two
witnesses and how they'll be killed and their dead bodies will lie in the
streets of Jerusalem for three days and it says the whole world will see
their dead bodies lying in the street a couple hundred years ago you'd wonder
how could the whole world see these guys if they're in Jerusalem but of
course now we have the Internet and satellite TV and cameras and so you
could see how it would be broadcast live to the entire world and the
technology is in place for these things to be fulfilled quite literally
we could be approaching the end the Bible says in 2nd Timothy chapter 3 a
description of the end times it says this know also that in the last days
hey children sit still 2nd Timothy 3 1 this know also in the last days
perilous times shall come perilous means dangerous he says for men shall be
lovers of their own selves one of the things that characterizes the end
times is that people would be self-centered self-absorbed lovers of
their own selves and we see that in this generation more than any other
generation this overly sensitive just worried about themselves everything's
about me you know people have called it generation me generation selfie
generation selfie stick generation everybody it's all about me I mean
think about the fact that as our society becomes more sinful it becomes
more selfish I mean what could be more selfish when you think about major
big sins sins like murder and adultery what could be more selfish than
murdering your own child for your own convenience and that's exactly what
abortion is you're so concerned with yourself that you're willing to murder
an innocent baby just so that you can have a different quality of life
that's total selfishness you think about how selfish it would be for you
to cheat on your spouse to commit adultery with another man or commit
adultery with another woman and to bring that pain and suffering upon your
spouse upon your husband or your wife I mean what a selfish thing to do sin is
selfish that's why the Bible says that all the law is fulfilled in this
one word thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself he said look if you love
your neighbor you're not gonna kill your neighbor you're not gonna commit
adultery with your neighbor you're not gonna steal from your neighbor
you're not gonna lie to your neighbor you know sin at its core is self-centered
selfish self-absorbed and we're living in a day where men are lovers
of their own selves where people when they choose a church they just want to
know what that church can do for them what kind of programs do you have
for me what kind of programs do you have for the children they don't stop
and ask themselves hey is this a team I want to be a part of is this a place
where I want to go and work and serve God serving in the local church
working in the local church you know we have a room at the back of our
church well now it's actually off to the side but it's a room that has like
a refrigerator you know most churches have some kind of a kitchen or some
kind of a place with refrigerators or table you know at our church I call
it the break room and the reason I call it the break room is because I consider
the church a place of business a place of work a place where people are doing
work and they go in there to take a break from the work that they're doing
it's like a job you know they go and they win souls and preach and and
serve and roll up their sleeves to get involved it's not a place where you go
like a theater and just sit down and enjoy the show and then walk out no no
it's a place of work but lovers of their own selves don't understand that
they just want to come and have their itching ears tingled they want
the sermon to feed them and they just want to feed and feed and feed when
they need to get out there and work for the Lord that's why we have a
break room at our church you say I can't believe you say business
well you know what Jesus said I must be about my father's business you know
the first four letters of business are busy busy and only communists and hippies
don't like the word business now look what the Bible says here at 2 Timothy
chapter 3 verse 1 it says this know also that in the last days perilous
time shall come for men shall be lovers of their own selves why because
those are dangerous people people who just only love and care about
themselves they'll kill you for $20 they'll murder their own child I mean
a person who is just absorbed and loving themselves is going to create a dangerous
environment for others they're going to grow up and be a criminal children
who are never taught to think about the needs and the feelings of others
and empathize with others the Bible says men shall be lovers of their own selves
covetous meaning that they desire that which doesn't belong to them
they lust after more money and more things and more possessions
the Bible says the love of money is the root of all evil it says they're covetous
they're boasters meaning that they brag and and and talk about how great they are
which again goes along with being a lover of your own self when you're a braggart
and a boaster proud again that goes right hand in hand blasphemers
disobedient to parents unthankful unholy these are the type of things that we're seeing
abound in our culture in America today people are disobedient to their parents
they're blasphemous they're boasters they're proud they blow off their mouth against God
and against the Bible and against his anointed and they have no fear of God today
the Bible says they're without natural affection truce breakers false accusers
incontinent fierce and then look at this last one despisers of those that are good
we're living in a day where the wicked despise those that are good and now it's even getting to
the point where even mainstream America is starting to despise those that are good
now what's interesting about the word despise is that it pretty much means hate
I mean if I said I despise something or despise someone that would mean that I hate that person
or hate that thing despiteful or despising these are synonyms for hating and what's interesting
today is that these bunch of freaks and perverts out there for example that are
protesting this event they are despisers of those that are good and you know what these
people from the media here I mean unless they turn over a new leaf and start telling the truth
which probably isn't very likely but these bozos from the media over here they're going to show
all the love wins and love conquers hate they won't show you how God-fearing family
men and women walk in this church and women are called a slut and a whore and they've never
even seen these women in their life because they just rail and hate and spew out all their
filth and they're disgusting but you won't show that on the media will you no you'll show
all the little pretty little sodomites and they all love each other why don't you go to age.gov
and show what these people are really like where they're 50 times more likely to get
AIDS why don't you do a story on how homosexuals are 50 times more likely to get AIDS
why don't you go to AIDS.gov why don't you go to cdc.gov because you're a coward that's
why because you'd be fired if you did that that's why
hey and by the way
hey and by the way learn how to count go back to school and learn how to count this isn't
75 people you want to make it out like it's just a few people hey there's still
seven thousand men in this country who haven't vowed to need a bail
but the bible says despisers of those that are good every single one of these homos would love
to tear me apart limb from limb if they could get in here and the police wouldn't stop them
they'd love to come in here and rip us apart and kill us all and they don't just hate me
they don't just hate brother Jimenez they hate all Christians and they would love to destroy us all
and you know that's right and yet they say that we're hateful well you know what at least
i admit that i do hate pedophiles and perverts but these people are hypocrites
they won't admit it but they hate my ever loving guts
let's continue with this passage second timothy chapter three it says in verse number four traders
heady high-minded lovers of pleasures more than lovers of god you know this is the people
who don't have time for church because they're too busy out having a good time they're out
playing and they're going to the lake and they're going out and look i love going to the
lake but you know what i'm not going to go to the lake when i ought to be in church
because i don't love pleasure more than i love god and the bible says having a form of
godliness but denying the power thereof from such turn away you see there are all kinds of
churches around sacramento and across our nation they have a form of godliness they have a form
of christianity they have a form of biblical teaching but they deny the power thereof you
know what the power thereof means it means the authority thereof it means the might and the
strength behind it you see there are churches out there that claim to be a christian church
but they'll even deny the miracles of the bible they'll say that the children of israel didn't
really part the red cross on the red sea after moses parted it through the power of god they'll
say that it was just a land bridge or it was the wind that did it or it was just some kind
of a reed sea instead of the red sea they'll claim that jesus was not born of a virgin they'll
claim that jesus didn't walk on water and they teach a social gospel and they have a fake
christianity i'm talking about the united methodists tonight let's call what is united
methodists they'll sit there and deny the virgin birth deny the bodily resurrection of
christ they have a form of godliness but they deny the power of god they don't believe
in the miracles of the bible not only that but they deny the power of god's word they believe
that their views and their understanding trump god's word no god's word has the power god's word has
the authority god's word is what we ought to go to not to whatever's popular or whatever the
opinion of the month is that the media is cramming down our throat so what we see in this
passage if we were to take the whole thing in aggregate and obviously we don't have time to
talk about each point on the list is that in the last days when he lists all these sins
he's saying the last days are going to be very sinful days if we were to just sum it up in one
sentence we'd say in the last days perilous times will come because sin will abound there's
going to be a very simple and what what do we see we see our country is more sinful than
it was 10 years ago it's more sinful than it was 30 years ago we can see clearly that the morality
in our country is going down and it was going down like this but in the last three four years
it seems like it's just on a bobsled to hell that's what we see today now if you would
turn to luke chapter 17 luke chapter number 17 luke chapter 17 we're talking about the signs
of the times jesus christ said that his second coming would not catch us unawares it would not
come upon us as a thief in the night because we can look around and see these things begin
to come to pass we see a world government forming the united nations we see the united
states relinquishing its sovereignty to this world body the last time the united states declared war
on anyone was when they declared war on the country of hungary in world war ii ever since
then we're just enforcing united nations resolutions the last declaration of war from
the congress of the united states was world war ii but have we fought war since then with no
declaration of war because we're going under the authority of the united nations we are seeing
a world government forming that's a sign of the times when we see the stage being set for
as the bible says all nations all tongues all kindreds and all people to look to one leader
the anti-christ to worship one man the anti-christ that's why we see all of the religions coming
together we see the catholics and the protestants coming together and saying that
the protestant reformation was just a big misunderstanding
it's just a big mix-up and finally we can clear it up 400 years later
what are we thinking we all believe the same things that's what they're saying today in the
news we see today that eastern mysticism is even coming into the church and we see
that the buddhists and the hindus and the coexist mentality where all religions come together
we can see the new age movement today rolling out and becoming mainstream doctrine
in the united states of america universalism universalist religion that says well
christianity is a way jesus said i'm the way and they say oh well you know that's a way but
islam has a way and hinduism has a way and they're following the light that they have and
we're following the light no no there's only one light and it's jesus christ the lord jesus
christ is the only way to be saved it's the only way to heaven through the blood of jesus
christ his death his burial and his resurrection and at the second coming of christ the bible says
in luke chapter 16 verse 26 and as it was in the days of noah so shall it be also in the
days of the son of man they did eat they drank they married wives they were given in marriage
until the day that noah entered into the ark and the flood came and destroyed them all likewise
also as it was in the days of lot they did eat they drank they bought they sold they planted
they builded but the same day that lot went out of saddam it rained fire and brimstone
from heaven and destroyed them all even thus shall it be in the day when the son of man
is revealed at the second coming of christ the bible teaches that in the days leading up to that
it will be like it was in the days of noah and it will be like it was in the days of lot
this passage in luke 17 contains the famous scriptures about the rapture where it talks about
two being in the field one taken and the other left two women grinding at the mill one taken
the other left that passage about the rapture in context is compared to the days of noah when
the flood came and destroyed them all and the days of lot when fire and brimstone rained down
from heaven and destroyed the cities of saddam and gomorrah this is referring to the fact
that the day that the rapture takes place it will rain fire and brimstone upon the earth
according to the bible which of course takes place after the tribulation but before god's wrath
is poured out and all god's people said well no pre-trippers here tonight huh if so don't say
anything but anyway somebody will be glad to explain it to you after the service but in luke
17 he compares it to the days of lot for a reason it's funny when i was growing up my dad
my dad's here tonight he used to always say i don't think the end is yet he said because
it's not like it was in saddam yet and i remember thinking i said i don't think he's
right about that because i read the story of saddam and i said it's never going to be like that
so i thought he's misinterpreting that but you know what dad you were right because you
know what it's starting to look like the days of lot out there i mean i got off the airplane
and said uh in sacramento i thought yeah it seemed like san francisco i got off the airplane
in sacramento california this morning and it was two minutes before i saw a dude
walking through the airport with a skirt on i mean we're living in days that are getting to
be like it was in the days of lot and you know what i think is so funny is when people
attack us bible believing preachers and they say oh why do you preach about homosexuality so
much why do you keep bringing that up why are you so fixated on that why you bring it up
hey because it's being crammed down our throat every stupid day because not a day goes by that
the tv and the magazines and the newspapers aren't cramming this trash down our throat
and you know what we didn't pick this fight the fight came to us and you know what i didn't
write this book and this book already predicted thousands of years ago that that's what would be
happening i mean i didn't choose that hey in the end times before the second coming of christ
we're gonna have to be ripping face about a bunch of perverts and homos and that's gonna
be the big issue in america that everybody talks about every single day in america hey
i didn't choose that i didn't even predict that i thought my dad was wrong about that okay
i didn't choose this fight this fight has come to us and you know what i say bring it on
hey look whatever fight the devil wants to bring me bring it on because i'll preach any part of
the bible and i'm not ashamed of any of it i like i like all of it but we didn't choose
this well why do you make that your battle i didn't make that my battle i preach 156
sermons a year i preach every book of the bible i preach out of genesis i preach out of
exodus i preach out of leviticus i preach out in numbers i preach out of matthew mark luke john
i preach on the gospel i preach on heaven i preach on hell i preach on the deity of christ
i preach on the trinity i preach on salvation by faith i preach on the eternal security the
believer i'm preaching on repentance i'm preaching on this i'm preaching on that and then you
preach on sodomy and all the cameras show up i didn't choose that they chose it because this
fits their agenda but you know what they don't realize they come in here because it fits their
agenda their little narrative their brainwashing campaign that they're a part of whether they
know it or not or believe it or not you know why they're here they're here because their
bosses want them here and they're here to demonize christianity they're here to demonize
god's people but you know what you can't even make us look take us take me out of context
all you want because you know what the stuff i say from the bible is so true even out of
context it's still i still like it i still like it i mean even the tv pieces where they
attack me and can you believe look i'm watching all your guys's coverage of pastor Jimenez
i got popcorn and i'm thinking man he looks good on there yeah tell him i like all of it i like it
all and you know what but these people in the media they're so deluded they think like oh
man when we put this on tv man everybody's gonna hate pastor you know what they don't realize
brother Jimenez is that half the people in sacramento are sitting at home and they're seeing
you on tv and they're saying hey there's a guy with some guts there's a guy who's finally telling
it like it is there's a guy that actually believes the bible and you know what they just
don't have the guts to say it and they're but they're sitting there at home in the comfort of
their home saying it's about time somebody told it like it is that's what they're saying
yeah that's right so all the media is doing is just helping get the word of god out and you
know what the apostle paul talked about how some people were spreading the word of god
for the wrong motives you know he said they preach christ even of envy and strife they
preach it of contention trying to add affliction to our bonds you know trying to add persecution
to us but you know what hey i just rejoice that people are hearing about verity baptist church
great because then they're gonna tune in and they're gonna get the gospel they're gonna get
the soul winning they're gonna get everything else he preaches 95 of the time when he's not
talking about perverts all the other good stuff from the bible they're gonna tune in
and then you know some of these cowards once they see him go through the storm once they
see him stand tall see a lot of people are sitting at home right now just wanting to see
how it's all going to turn out they want look nobody wants to get on board with a loser
with a quitter now i know you're not a loser i know you're not a quitter but they're sitting
back and they're watching and let me tell you something he's going to be like a rock
because he's founded on the rock and i'm going to tell you something when the battle's over
when the dust settles and when the media has moved on to their next faggot promoting story
that they want to write their next wicked godless story to promote the downfall of morality in
america and when they go back to printing more smut and crap in their stupid newspaper
and their stupid tv show and television you know what he's gonna still be standing and
this church will just grow and grow and grow and you know what i already know hey i've already
been doing it i hey i went through this in phoenix arizona seven years ago and you know what
our church is bursting at the seams we just can't knock out the walls fast enough
to expand our auditorium because you know what people want the truth
the bible says in daniel chapter 12 go to daniel chapter 12
we're going to look at some things from daniel let's go back to the old testament daniel
chapter 12 daniel chapter number 12 we're going to look at some things from daniel chapter
11 these are two scriptures that have to do with the end times that have to do with
the second coming of jesus christ where daniel is actually seeing things way into the future
in fact in daniel chapter 12 he's told we'll seal up these things because these things are
not going to happen for a really long time we're living in those times where we're getting
close to the fulfillment of these things let's see some things that characterize the end
times leading up to the second coming of christ daniel chapter 12 verse 1 the bible reads and at
that time shall michael stand up the great prince which standeth for the children of thy
people and there shall be a time of trouble such as never was since there was a nation
even to that same time that's referring to the tribulation if in matthew 24 used almost
the same wording then shall be great tribulation such as never was since the beginning of the
world of this time no nor ever shall be if you look at the word trouble and you look at the word
tribulation you'll notice that the consonants are the same t r b l right trouble tribulation
these are related words he says at that time thy people shall be delivered everyone that shall
be found written in the book and many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake
some to everlasting life and some to shame and everlasting contempt and they that be wise shall
shine as the brightness of the firmament and they that turn many to righteousness as the
stars forever and ever but thou o daniel shut up the words and seal the book even to the
time of the end many shall run to and fro and knowledge shall be increased one of the things
that god points to as coming shortly before the end is that many would run to and fro
and that knowledge would be increased go back to daniel chapter number 11 many would run to
and fro and knowledge shall be increased now that is something that we're seeing happen
very rapidly today i believe when the bible says many shall run to and fro
and knowledge shall be increased that has to do with the technology that we see
where transportation is so much faster where people can just run to and fro i mean we have
people here tonight at this service from a whole bunch of foreign countries i know my friend here
rob from canada where's nar from canada right and then we got brother logan robinson from
new zealand who else is here from a foreign country tonight anybody else from a foreign
country yes where you from new zealand also canada with rock yeah okay so one two three four
five yeah australia all right anybody else from a foreign country canada
yeah kazakhstan all right you know that just shows you the amazing
transportation where people can just hop on a plane and come here from kazakhstan australia
new zealand different parts of canada and be at a place like this why because the technology
is facilitating that and then he says knowledge shall be increased you know one of the most amazing
things about the technology that we have today in 2016 is the way that we can just get
information on the internet i mean i remember when i was even a child if you wanted to learn
about something if you wanted to know some piece of information you had to take a trip down
to the library and you'd pull books off the shelf that were 20 years old or 10 years old and
you're trying to get up-to-date information sometimes you have to travel to distant cities
to access larger libraries and and find the data find the information i mean we can just be
walking around and see some plant or some animal now all we have to do hey what kind
of plant is that just take a picture of it on your phone there's an app that'll tell you
what kind of plant it is hey what was the name of that up everything any question you have
any piece of information you want to know anything you want to learn about it's just so simple
you just google it all that information is at our fingertips obviously there are a lot of bad
things that are also available on the internet there are a lot of people that would use it
for you know pornography or use it for online gambling or use it for adultery or other nefarious
purposes but one of the things that the internet has done is it has allowed us to preach the
word of god to a mass audience we don't need the media anymore that's why they already walked
out you know we don't need them anymore we don't have to nobody nobody listens to them
anymore that's why the sacramento b keeps getting thinner every year nobody cares
and we are living in a very special time because we can actually be the media
yeah youtube youtube me tube i mean we can actually broadcast the truth and get millions
of viewers let me tell you something the internet is the printing press of the 21st century
i mean it's the most revolutionary thing since the invention of the printing press
and we can actually upload true biblical preaching i mean in the past to be a tv preacher
you have to be a total compromiser you have to be bought and paid for by the devil to get on tv
but now anybody can upload sermons brother jimenez myself other men of god all over the
world preaching the truth can upload it and have access to millions of viewers it's amazing
and so many pastors are just they're not even capitalizing on that opportunity
i mean i guess if they were living back in the 1500s and the 1600s they would forget the printing
press we're happy with our little church us four no more but i'm telling you we have
an opportunity to broadcast this stuff to the world in all languages and and get it out there
look i don't know about you i want to work hard and i want to pull out all the stops because
i don't know how long the party's going to last i mean when are they going to start censoring
us on the internet or pull the plug on the internet i don't know but i'm going to put as
much stuff on the internet as i can and get it out to as many millions of people as i can before
that happens and then we'll just switch to just flash drives yeah that's the that's going
to be next just flash drives cds dvds have fun collecting up all those and trying to censor us
but look what the bible says in daniel 11 go back a few verses to daniel 11 32
it says and such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries
but the people that do know their god shall be strong and do exploits exploits are great works
legendary works amazing works epic works he says they either be strong and do know their god
he said they'll be strong and they'll do exploits verse 33 and they that understand
among the people shall instruct many they will instruct many they'll be they don't understand
they that know the bible they that are preaching the truth shall instruct
many i believe that in the end times there will be one last great push where the gospel will go
all around the globe and where people will hear the gospel like they've never heard it
before in the last days and look it's not just through the power of the internet it's going
to be through door-to-door soul winning because a lot of people don't ever go on the internet
but let me tell you something we need to have a multi-pronged attack we need to be out
there physically flesh and blood knocking doors every week up one street down the other every
door in sacramento every door in citrus heights every door in elk grove every door in
roseville every door in orange vale every door in carmichael every door in west sac every
door downtown every door in this whole area physically boots on the ground knocking those
doors and then broadcasting to the whole world on the internet but i've talked to some past and
they say well i agree with what you're preaching but i'd never put it on youtube because i don't
want the persecution i guess you forgot that verse that told you to leap for joy when the
persecution comes i guess you forgot the part about whoso find it his life shall lose it
but whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it i guess you forgot that verse
that said many are the afflictions of the righteous but out of them all the lord delivers him
and let me tell you something with the doors being knocked and the soul-winning church is
springing up all over america and let me tell you something it's starting to accelerate
we're seeing new start churches start we're starting you know three new churches this fall
just our what our church is doing let alone what verity is going to be doing let alone
what steadfast is going to be doing let alone what word of truth does let alone what old path
does west city bible baptist whatever other churches that share the same vision of knocking
every door and of preaching from the housetops all the council of god uncensored unadulterated
unfiltered well refined preaching
amen brother garrett cursway our missionary to batswana you know he just indicated to me this
afternoon he said hey i've gotten you the opportunity while you're in batswana because
i'm only going to be there for a week to preach in a public school he said you'll be
preaching to hundreds and hundreds of junior hires he's trying to get me into the high school in
that village as well i'll tell you what i want to do brother garrett i want to get a list of
every high school and every junior high in the country of batswana we're going to work down that
thing like a checklist and we're going to preach the gospel in every single school that
will let us and we're going to keep calling them and we're going to offer them free bibles
free new testaments free dvds free cds a flash drive if you got a computer and you know what
we'll come and preach the gospel and we're going to do great works god willing through
his strength if he allows us to we're going to continue doing the greatest works look i want to
do the greatest works that the world has ever seen and i'm going to tell you something it's
not because i'm anything special because you know what he's doing the same thing all these
other pastors are doing the same thing all the speakers you're going to hear from are all
sharing the same vision look it's not anything about me look in 10 years 20 years there are
going to be a hundred of me and you're going to forget that i even exist because there's
going to be a hundred of me praise god i don't matter all i am is a guy who just decided
to get up and preach it like it is and let the chips fall where they may and you young
man here you could be that guy right i'm not talented he's way more talented than i am
brother he meant is a lot more talented than me you know it took me about 500 times preaching
before i preached like him like on his third time i'm not joking i'm not kidding you know
what young man out there who's listening you could be one of the hundred i believe that in
my lifetime there will be hundreds of preachers that are just like me greater than me doing
better works than me putting me to shame hey that's what i believe god has told us will happen
in the end times he said this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all nations and then
shall the income and i believe we're starting to see that happening and you know what it's a
sign of the times it's a sign of the times that sacramento is hearing the truth and you
know what whether they hear or whether they forbear whether they sit at home and how dare he
you know offend the lgbt HIV abcdefd community you know how dare you offend people you know
what it doesn't matter you know what's for sure they'll know that a prophet has been among
them they shall know that a prophet has been among them and i'm here to tell you that we
are living in the last days we don't know when it's going to be but i don't know about you i
want to be one of the people that does great exploits i want to be a part of it and i don't
i want to be on the ground i want to be just knocking doors one at a time i want to be one
of god's people that's a part of the team i want to be a part of a church i want to be a
part of a movement that is not backing down and going oh man i mean they're you know they're
they're taking over we gotta do something we gotta do something i don't want to do something
i want to do the greatest things that the world has ever seen that's what i want to do get
a vision tonight that's big do something big for god and you know what every man woman boy
and girl can be a part of it but i'm not talented you know what you don't have to be
talented to be a soul winner and if you're a consistent soul winner you will be great
in the kingdom of heaven period period period you will be great in the kingdom look it doesn't
take any special talent it doesn't take any special ability you know what it takes guts
it's all it takes it's all it takes and you know what anybody who wants to can have guts
because the bible says that if we pray for boldness he will grant us boldness
even the most shy and timid can become as fearless as a lion when they are filled
with the holy spirit of god that's what the bible teaches the bible says when they had
prayed the place where they were assembled together was shaken and they were all filled
with the holy ghost and they spake the word of god with boldness man woman boy and girl
were all filled with the holy ghost and you know what you want to be filled with the holy
ghost you better be in the right place at the right time because they were all filled
with the holy ghost because they were there which goes back to what brother al said about
being in the right place being in the right church getting around god's people
the signs of the times are everywhere are you able to discern them are we living in days that
are beginning to resemble the days of lot before he went out of sodom and gomorrah are we
beginning to live in days where people are exceedingly sinful and lovers of their own selves
do we see the technology do we see the police state in place do we see the world government
forming do we see all of the things that the bible told us would happen coming to pass
right around us and do we see a great fire and a great movement amongst god's people
for a soul-winning revival unlike anything the world has ever seen why not god's arm is not
shortened that he cannot save it's you and i that have the power to limit god
by our lack of vision and our lack of faith or or we can do the greatest works
that the world has ever seen but it's up to us what are we going to do are we going to be
ordinary are we going to be the usual run-of-the-mill joe church member or are we
going to rise up don't tell me about some greatest generation of some
old i don't i don't want to hear about that let's talk about the greatest generation how
about 2016 god how about the people that were winning to christ in 2013 14 15 the spiritual
babies that are born in 2012 2013 2014 you know what i don't care what dan rather says
that or tom brokaw whoever that was that put that thing together hey when we get to heaven
the greatest generation is going to be the the god's people that did the most works for
god and the most soul winning for god and i pray that it would be the people that got saved
in 2010 2011 2012 i pray there be a great baby boom of spiritual babies that are born
and that these spiritual babies would go out and rise up and be the greatest generation
of christians that literally would shake the world and would literally just uh spread the gospel
to every person on the planet to every nation it's possible you write the book you decide
whether it's going to happen or not i can't decide because i can't do it by myself so i
can't make that decision i can decide to be a part of it but you have to decide to be a part
of it too and together we can get the gospel to sacramento like sacramento has never seen it
before and the whole world now i don't know the history of sacramento i don't know what kind
of soul winning churches have been here in the past i'm not sure exactly what they accomplished
which doors they knocked you know if we were to be able to get in a time machine go back
to the 1960s or the 1970s i don't know what kind of great soul winning churches existed
but you know what i believe the verity baptist church can and i believe that it will by the
grace of god be the greatest soul winning church in the history of this city that ought to be
the goal go big or go home let's bow your heads and have a word of prayer
father we thank you so much for your word
