["Pomp and Circumstance"]
Good evening, everyone. Welcome to First Works Baptist Church.
Let's all find our seats. As you find your seat, go ahead and grab a hymnal.
Turn to song number 53.
Song number 53, Beulah Land. Let's all stand together for this first song, If You're Able.
Song number 53, Beulah Land. All together nice and strong on that first verse.
I've reached the land of joy divine And all its riches freely mine
Here shines undimmed one blissful day For all my night has passed away
Oh, Beulah Land, sweet Beulah Land As on thy highest mount I stand
I look away across the sea Where mansions are prepared for me
And view the shining glory shore My head, my home forevermore
My Savior comes and walks with me And sweet communion here have we
Gently leads me by his hand For this is heaven's borderland
Oh, Beulah Land, sweet Beulah Land As on thy highest mount I stand
I look away across the sea Where mansions are prepared for me
And view the shining glory shore My head, my home forevermore
A sweet perfume upon the breeze For vernal trees and flowers and never
fading grow Where streams of life forever flow
Oh, Beulah Land, sweet Beulah Land As on thy highest mount I stand
I look away across the sea Where mansions are prepared for me
And view the shining glory shore My head, my home forevermore
Does Zephyr seem to float to me? Then's Melody, as angels with the
white rope throng Join in the sweet redemption song
Oh, Beulah Land, sweet Beulah Land As on thy highest mount I stand
I look away across the sea Where mansions are prepared for me
And view the shining glory shore My head, my home forevermore
Amen. Wonderful singing. Let's start off our service with a word of prayer.
Lord God, Heavenly Father, we thank you for giving us this day, Lord, that we can come to your house
and hear the preaching of your word and fellowship here, Lord, together with like-minded brethren.
And I thank you, Lord, for the souls that were saved this afternoon. I ask that you bless them
in their lives and help them to come to church also, Lord. And I ask that you please just bless
the service tonight. Please bless the singing, and most of all, please fill Pastor Mihi with your
spirit as he preaches your word, Lord. That he may preach a bold message and fill us also with
your spirit, Lord, that we may take the truths that he preaches and apply them unto our lives.
In Jesus' name I pray. Amen. Go ahead and turn in your song books to song number 198.
Song number 198, Joy Unspeakable. Song 198, all together on that first verse.
I have found his grace is all complete. He supplyeth every need.
While I sit and learn at Jesus' feet, I am free as free indeed.
It is joy unspeakable and full of glory, full of glory.
It is joy unspeakable and full of glory. Oh, the half has never yet been told.
I have found the pleasure I once craved. It is joy and peace within.
What a wondrous blessing I am safe from the awful gulf of sin.
It is joy unspeakable and full of glory, full of glory.
It is joy unspeakable and full of glory. Oh, the half has never yet been told.
I have found that hope so bright and clear, living in the realm of grace.
Oh, the Savior's presence is so near. I can see his smiling face.
It is joy unspeakable and full of glory, full of glory.
It is joy unspeakable and full of glory. Oh, the half has never yet been told.
I have found the joy no tongue can tell, how its waves of glory roll.
It is like a great or flowing well within my soul.
It is joy unspeakable and full of glory, full of glory.
It is joy unspeakable and full of glory. Oh, the half has never yet been told.

And so on a podcast, we did a podcast a couple of weeks ago.
And I'll be honest with you, I didn't believe it was going to be overturned
because this nation is so wicked and vile.
I'm like, it's not going to happen.
You know, it's a pipe dream, but it actually happened.
And so and I said in that podcast, you know, if it happens,
I said, we'll celebrate at the church.

At this time the ushers will come forth to collect the offering
and you can turn in your Bibles to Ezekiel chapter number 14.
Good evening we're in Ezekiel chapter 14
and the Bible reads then came certain of the elders of Israel onto me and sat
before me and the word of the Lord came on to me
saying sent a man these men have set up their idols in their heart
and put the stumbling block of their iniquity before their face should I be
inquired of at all by them therefore speak on to them say unto
them thus saith the Lord God every man of the house of Israel that
seteth up his idols in his heart and put at the stumbling block of his
iniquity before his face and cometh to the prophet I the Lord
will answer him that cometh according to the multitude of his idols
that I may take the house of Israel in their own heart because they are all
estranged from me through their idols therefore say unto the house of Israel
thus saith the Lord God repent and turn yourselves from your idols and
turn away your faces from all your abominations
for every one of the house of Israel or the stranger that sojourneth in Israel
which separateth himself from me and seteth up his idols in his heart
and put at the stumbling block of his iniquity before his face
and cometh to a prophet to inquire of him concerning me
I the Lord will answer him by myself and I will set my face against that man
I will make him a sign and a proverb and I will cut him off from the midst of
my people and you shall know that I am the Lord
and if the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing
I the Lord have deceived that prophet and I will stretch out my hand upon him
and I will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel
and they shall bear the punishment of their iniquity
the punishment of the prophets shall be even as the punishment of him that
seeketh unto him that the house of Israel may go no more
straight from me neither be polluted anymore with all the transgressions
but that they may be my people and I may be their God saith the Lord God
the word of the Lord came again to me saying son of man
when the land sinned against me by transgress transgressing grievously
then will I stretch out my hand upon it and will break the staff of the bread
thereof and will send famine upon it and will cut off men and beasts from it
though these three men Noah Daniel and Job were in it
they shall deliver but their own soul their own souls by their righteousness
saith the Lord God but cause noisome beasts to pass through
the land and they spoil it so that it be desolate that no man may
pass through it because of the beasts though these three men were in it as I
live saith the Lord God they shall deliver neither sons nor
daughters they only shall be delivered that the land shall be desolate or if I
bring a sword upon that land and say sword go through the land so that I cut
off men and beasts from it though these three men were in it as I
live saith the Lord God they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters
but they only shall be delivered themselves
for if I send a pestilence into the land and pour out my fury upon it in blood
to cut off from it man and beast though Noah
Daniel and Job were in it as I live saith the Lord God
they shall deliver neither son nor daughter
they shall but deliver their own souls by their righteousness
for thus saith the Lord God how much more when I send my four sword judgments
upon Jerusalem the sword and the famine and the noisome
beasts and the pestilence to cut off from it man and beast
yet behold there shall be a left arraignment
a remnant that shall be brought forth both sons and daughters behold they shall
come forth unto you and he shall see their way and their
doings and he shall be comforted concerning the
evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem even concerning all that I have brought
upon it and they shall comfort you when you see their ways and their doings
and he shall know that I have not done without a cause all that I have done in
it saith the Lord God let's pray we thank you heavenly father
for this wonderful church here god we thank you for our pastor please uh
bless him with your holy spirit as he preaches your word in jesus name
pray amen amen okay we're in ezekio chapter 14
this evening look down at your bibles at verse number
12 it says the word of the lord came again to me saying
son of man when the land sinned against me by trespassing grievously
then will i stretch out my hand upon it and i will break the staff of the bread
thereof and will send famine upon it and will cut off man and beast from it
listen to verse 14 though these three men noah
daniel and joe were in it they should deliver but their own souls by their
righteousness saith the lord god and the title of my
sermon this evening is how to delay god's judgment how to delay
god's judgment sometimes when you study the word of god
and you see that god is going to chasten a nation he's going to judge a nation
for their sins you see that there are certain instances
where it's really too late for that nation you know they can do whatever
they can on their part and and try to uh stop the judgment of
god from coming or stop you know god's hand from
destroying them but sometimes a nation can become so
wicked so vile so perverse where god is literally
just done with that nation in fact the bible tells us
that the wicked shall be turned into hell and all nations that forget
god so god specifically promises that if there's a nation out there that forgets
him forgets his laws forgets what the word
of god says they're going to be turned into hell
god is going to destroy him because sometimes
it's just too late for a nation there are nations that have done
irreparable damage okay now when we look at israel for example
really that's the template for what we see when it comes to god
judging nations because he judged israel so many times throughout the old
testament he pronounced judgment upon him he
destroyed them he allowed them to go into captivity
he allowed many of them to fall by the sword by famine by pestilence
there's so many times when he stretched out his hand of judgment against israel
to destroy him for their sin and in fact you know
there's been times throughout the history of israel where they got so bad
you know they became so rebellious so filled with transgression that god
specifically says you know if noah daniel and joe breyer the only ones
they would ever they would be able to save is themselves
now that's pretty bad because if you think about it noah
is a great man of god he's he's one who has found who found grace in the eyes of
the lord daniel's a godly man joe is a perfect
and upright man and one that is true with evil
all of these men could intercede for their families
for their nations and god would hear them but he's even saying this
he said even if these three men were here on the spot interceding for israel
at this moment i still want to listen to them
and the only ones that they would be able to save is themselves
i mean think about that he's basically saying it's too late for this nation
and it can get to a point with the nation where it gets so bad
so wicked that the only ones that will be spared are people like noah daniel
and joe okay and so i want to talk about that this
evening look at verse 18 if you would it says in verse 18 though these three
men were in it as i live saith the lord god they shall
deliver neither sons nor daughters but they only shall be delivered
themselves or if i send a pestilence into that land
and pour out my fury upon it in blood to cut off from it
man and beast though noah daniel and joe were in it as i live saith the lord god
they shall deliver neither son nor daughter they shall but deliver their
own souls by their righteousness now i want you to notice that the reason
he's saying they're not going to be able to deliver israel is not because they're
not godly enough it's not because they don't love the
lord it's not because they don't know what the word of god says
it's because of the amount of wickedness that israel is responsible for
you understand so he's not saying you know these guys aren't godly enough to
save you it's just that israel is so wicked that
it can't be saved okay the nation has become so depraved
so uh away from god that they're without hope basically
and it even says there in verse 18 they wouldn't even be able to deliver sons
and daughters he said he would send a pestilence into
that land and cut off man and beast things are
gonna animals are gonna die people are gonna die
and noah daniel and joe even if they were there wouldn't be able to do
anything about it go with me if you went to jeremiah chapter number five jeremiah
chapter number five it goes without saying that god judges
nations and you know it's not only in the bible that we see god judging
nations although we see a vast majority of them in the bible
but throughout history god has judged many nations
he's allowed his judgment and his wrath to come upon them
he's destroyed them for their perversion for their wickedness
he has allowed them to cease from going forward
and becoming greater nations because he was done with them
and this isn't something that's just in the bible i believe this is something
that god carries out even today okay but look at jeremiah chapter 5 verse
number seven it says how shall i pardon thee for
this thy children have forsaken me and sworn by them that are no gods when
i have fed them to the fool they they then committed adultery and
assembled themselves by troops in the harlot's houses so he's talking
about israel here and he's saying how am i going to even overlook this
how am i supposed to overlook a nation that
have wives they have their spouses they have their partners and it says there
that they he fed them to the fool okay he's not
trying to you know be graphic here but essentially he's saying that
you know husbands you have your wives you have that which is necessary to
fulfill your physical needs and demands but then
it says there then they committed adultery and
assembled themselves by troops in the harlot's houses they're not content with
their spouse they're not content with their wives
instead they actually after they're done with their wives they go on to the
harlot's houses to commit lewdness and adultery and wickedness verse eight
look at this imagery that he points out here
they were as fed horses in the morning everyone
nade after his neighbor's wife so he's saying look this you know you
guys are like horses that god has fed you with you know he's
fed you he's satiated your desires but then
they're still named after their neighbor's wife they're still committing
adultery and lust etc verse nine shall i not
visit for these things now think about that he's saying you
think i'm not going to judge you because of this
you think i'm not just gonna you think i'm just gonna overlook
adultery fornication murder lewdness covetous do you think i'm just gonna not
pay attention to all the wickedness that's taking place
shall i not visit for these things he's saying shall i not judge you
for these things and destroy you for these things he says shall i not visit
for these things saith the lord and shall not my soul be avenged on such
a nation as this and essentially what he's saying
there go to matthew chapter 11 if you would matthew chapter 11
is that when a nation is given over to breaking god's commandments and they're
just kind of casual about it they're just filled with wickedness and
adultery and covetousness and idolatry god's not
just going to turn a blind eye to it he's not just going to be like well you
know they don't know any better or well you know it's just you know just
they're just sinners you know i just love everyone
god says i'm going to visit you for this sin i'm going to visit you for this
transgression i'm not just going to let it go
okay and the reason i say that is because you know a lot of people today
and i want to get ahead of myself because they're so patriotic about
america because they're they're such nationalists
regarding the united states of america they think that america could do no
wrong and when it does wrong god's just going to automatically overlook it
just because it says on the dollar bill and god we still trust
just because there's all kinds of patriotic songs about god and
god bless america and all this stuff just because there's a so-called bible
belt just because we're sending out
missionaries just because there's all kinds of churches that teach a bunch of
heresy out there that somehow god is just going
to overlook it and not visit america with judgment
because of its lewdness wickedness and perversion
he's like shall i not visit for these things i mean wouldn't it be reasonable
he's basically saying wouldn't it be reasonable for me to visit
a nation that has been involved in this wickedness
look at matthew chapter 11 and verse number 20
jesus speaking here says then began he to abraid the cities wherein most of his
mighty works were done because they repented not
woe unto thee corazon won't to the beseda for if the mighty works which
were done in you have been done in tire and side on
they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes
but i say to you it shall be more tolerable for tire and side on
at the day of judgment than for you and thou compurnum
which are exalted into heaven shall be brought down to hell
for if the mighty works which have been done in thee have been done in sodom
it would have remained unto this day but i say to you that it shall be more
tolerable for the land of sodom in the day of judgment
than for thee now you read that you're like what
sodom it's more tolerable for sodom than for
than for capernaum how can this be if sodom was so wicked
well what is essentially he's driving at here is the fact that
capernaum had the truth capernaum not only had the truth he had the source of
all truth walking in its land preaching the word
of god unto them jesus christ and so that nation is far more
accountable to god because of that whereas sonam
and gomorrah they had lot he wasn't necessarily like the best
christian okay the guy was backslidden as the day is
long but here in capernaum you have jesus christ
the principle that jesus is trying to get across here is that
some nations or even people will be judged more severely because of the fact
that they have the truth now given the person who's given the
gospel here in america and rejects it and dies and goes to hell
you know just as we'll go to hell just as the the african kid who's in the
jungle in congo or whatever you know who's
never heard of the name of christ and dies and goes to hell
they both go to hell however the punishment for the person who's america
who's been given the gospel their punishment will be more severe
than the so-called kid who grows up in the congo
and you know never heard the gospel once or whatever and as an adult he dies and
he goes to hell you know his punishment is not going to be as severe as the
person who is in america why because the truth was actually given
to the person in america okay
go to isaiah chapter 48 and then we're going to hold your place there in
matthew and we're going to go to isaiah 48
now the point that i'm trying to make here is that
god is going to judge nations he is going to pour out his wrath upon nations
that have forgotten him that pervert his word
that are rebellious against him however you know the bible does teach
uh the principle that we can delay that judgment
okay because there comes a point where it's just too late for that nation
it's too late for that nation judgment has already been pronounced
so there's nothing you can do about it other than try to delay the judgment to
come in other words it's still going to come
it's still going to happen one day but there's certain things that you can
do there's certain things that churches can do there's certain things that
christians can do they can impede it from coming sooner
than later okay look at isaiah 48 and verse number
eight it says here verse number eight yea thou
heardest not yea thou knewest not yea from the time that thine ear was not
open for i knew that thou wouldest deal very
treacherously and was called the transgressor from the womb
for my name's sake will i defer mine anger and for my praise will i refrain
from thee that i cut thee not off
now what does it mean to defer it means to delay
and the principle that god is trying to get across here is that for his
namesake for his praise sake he's willing to
defer delay his anger delay his wrath delay his judgment
for his sake so we see here the principle that he can actually impede
the judgment of god from coming because of specific
condition or stipulations that he sets forth now how can we in the
united states of america delay the judgment of god because in my
personal opinion it's already too late for america america
has been involved in far too many abominations
far too much perversion far too much wickedness and lewdness
and and filth for god not to visit this nation
he said when is he going to visit it i don't know now i'll be honest with you i
said it this morning and i'll say it again
if god were to ask me when should i judge this nation i would say lord today
do it today even if i get carried away with it
and i go to heaven early then so be it because this nation has become so
vile and wicked and they hate god they hate the truth
it's such a disgusting uh world that we live in just do away with this world
now but he's not gonna ask me okay and even
if he did he probably wouldn't adhere to what i'm saying because
he's more long suffering than i am obviously okay
but i believe it's too late for the united states of america now when it
comes to end times prophecy you know we could say that america is
end times babylon and if it is end times babylon that
would mean that america is not going to suffer
a destruction of that proportion until revelation 18
okay way into the future okay but let's say it's not that means it can be
destroyed and none of the nation can take over they can become babylon and
then that destruction can come thereafter
to that particular nation but if that were to happen in our lifetime
america would definitely fit the bill of being babylon which at which point
revelation 18 is when america will be destroyed okay
so let's give a couple principles here how can we delay the judgment of god
because i believe judgment's already coming
let me give you a couple practical principles and the inspiration for the
sermon is the fact that roe versus wave was overturned amen
and people are losing their minds they can't believe you know you got all these
feminists and and and and uh extreme leftists who
are just losing their minds because you know
their their right to murder babies has been taken away
you know oh you're taking my white right away as a woman it's like yeah but you
can't even define what a woman is so how does that work you know
how do we delay the judgment of god number one vote in the right president
psych
number one how do we delay the judgment of god by christians getting right with
god no no no we have to go protest we have to
go vote in the right people no it's
christians getting right with god that will delay the judgment of god from
coming upon this country that's the only way look at matthew 5
verse 13 ye are the salt of the earth but if the
salt hath lost its savor wherewith shall it be salted it is
thenceforth good for nothing but to be cast out and to be trotted under the
foot of men ye are the light of the world a city
that is set on a hill cannot be hid neither do men light a candle and put it
under a bushel but on a candlestick and it giveth light
unto all them that are in the house let your light so shine before men that
may see your good works and glorify your father which is in
heaven according to the bible we're the salt of the earth now what
does salt do it preserves you say what does it preserve
what preserves the nation from being judged of god my friends
it preserves a nation from going into perversion from going into idolatry
from getting involved in ludinus and sin and that which is displeasing unto the
lord but it also preserves a nation from being
judged of god and so the answer is not in the white
house the answer is in the church house in order to preserve this nation to
delay the judgment of god from coming upon this
nation we need to be good christians we need to be salt in this world
not sugar and that's the problem isn't it
too many christians today in churches instead of being the salt of the earth
they're the sugar of the earth because they want to be sweet to
everyone and they want everyone to be pleased with how they taste
folks that's not what god commanded god wants us to be salt because of the fact
that when you put salt in the open wound it stings a little bit
it stings a lot and you know what it's not the salt's fault that it stings it's
the fact that there's an open wound there
you understand the fact that there's some sort of disease going on we just
expose the fact that there's a problem right and so what god wants from us go
to second chronicles chapter seven if you would second chronicles chapter seven
you know in order to preserve this nation we need to make sure that we are
the salt of the earth how do we do that by making sure that
you know we stand for god's word that we preach the truth
and practical things folks leading our families is one of them
being a christian husband being a christian wife mother
and father you know just being a functioning member of society is enough
to preserve a nation because the backbone of a nation is the
church and in order for a church to be strong you need strong families
and in order to have strong families you need what strong men
so you need strong men to produce strong families strong families to
produce a strong church strong church produces a strong nation
that delays the judgment of god that's the way it works
but you need salt in all those cases okay
and i'm sick and tired of pastors and churches
that all they want to do is they play the political card and just want to
please everyone and not split hairs and not divide
people and all these things whereas god wants
us to be salt
and you know what sometimes salt you know it bothers people
right yeah there's certain doctrines out there that bother people
but you know we shouldn't preach what pleases people we should preach what
actually god wants us to preach regardless if it offends someone or not
you say yeah but how are we going to reach people like that well you don't
leave that up to god who are we to judge god's methods and
god's tactics on how to reach people for christ
if he tells us to do it a certain way that's exactly how we're going to do it
look at second chronicles chapter 7 verse 14
look at verse 14 if the republican party
which are called by my name is that what it says
if my people it says if my people which are called by my name
shall humble themselves and pray and seek my face
and turn from their wicked ways then will i hear from heaven and will forgive
their sin and will heal their land so what is the bible telling us
it's about christians getting right with god my friends
it's not about what's going on uh in the senate it's not about what's going on
and the government it's not about the governor it's not about the mayor it's
not about the president it's about christians
and you know too many christians have allowed the goalposts to be
to be moved they've allowed politicians who are christians so-called who have
conservative values to move the goalpost into thinking that
the answer is in politics and putting the right people in power
more than it's the responsibility of christians
you say why do they do that because they want to they essentially want to just
get rid of the responsibility of being salt in this world
they want to relinquish their responsibility to make a difference in
this world and relinquish that to unsafe people who
know nothing about the bible nothing about the bible my friends
he said of my people which are called by my name
okay and so you know the way we can delay the judgment of god from coming
upon our nation is for christians to get
right with god getting right with god getting into
church living clean lives living righteously doing that which is
pleasing in the sight of the lord praying it to god
turning from our wicked ways making sure that we take care
of our responsibility of being salt and light and you know maybe we can delay
that judgment a little longer go to isaiah chapter 30 if you would
isaiah chapter 30
don't allow political forums and politicians and q anon
and libertarians to dictate what you and i should believe in regards to the bible
don't allow them to determine what's our next move as christians
don't allow them to dictate what they think
should be the next move in order to preserve this nation doesn't matter how
many followers they have or how many subscribers they have
or how much of a platform they have it doesn't matter
we need to go to the word of god and do as god says
not what your favorite politician says well this politician stands for these
conservative values well how about like these conservative values though
and you know what you look into the background some of these people they're
like catholics and episcopalians mormons not even saved
well that's too much of a high standard for you to have for a politician
well you know yeah and guess what they fall short of that so
there you go
and you know what you're not gonna find a verse that says this is how you vote
right can someone pull out a verse for me in the bible
in the new testament that tells us what are we how are we supposed to vote
is there is there a section in the new testament that teaches us how to vote in
a mayor a governor or president does it say that anywhere in the bible
i don't think so and i know i'm rubbing people the wrong way tonight but
sorry but not sorry you know nowhere in the bible does it tell us that we need
to vote for any person because that doesn't do anything
there's a false left-right paradigm my friends
and i know people don't want to hear that especially during this era this
this democratic area area a democrat era era
where you know you have biden who's ruling but you know what
that's what you need to hear is that it's still a false
left-right paradigm because i know as soon as that biden got in office
you know a bunch of a bunch of people went back to their old sins
their old sins of voting republican or voting libertarian
and standing for conservative values because they're so afraid what's going
to happen to this nation if this guy takes over or if kamala takes over after
him or something
but you know when there's a republican in office it's like yeah it's a false
left-right paradigm because you're you feel all safe
so you feel safe to preach that but now all of a sudden you got a democrat in
office and it's like oh man what are we going to do we got
we got to vote for the right we got to vote for trump 2024
folks it doesn't do anything you know you can talk about the right wing or the
left wing but it's still the same bird
it's still the same bird and you know as christians we should not be a part of
any of that you say well you know i don't really
agree with that that's fine but just just just say that
you don't agree with what the bible says though
because you can't use the bible to justify your side
it's impossible to do that how do we delay the judgment of god from coming
upon a nation well number two is that pastors need to preach hard against sin
pastors need to preach hard against sin look at isaiah 30 verse 9
that this is a rebellious people lying children
children that will not hear the law of the lord which say to the seers
see not and to the prophet prophets prophesy not into us
right things speaking to us smooth things prophesy deceits what is he
saying he's talking about a nation that doesn't really like hard preaching
they're rebellious people they're liars and they're telling the seers which is
another word for prophets don't preach unto us saying see not
they also tell the prophets don't talk about the right things
give us lies tell us smooth things prophesy deceits
prophesy of your political bent don't talk about doctrine doctrine
defines okay verse 11 get you out of the way turn
aside out of the path cause the holy one of israel to cease from before us
wherefore thus saith the holy one of israel because you despise this word
and trust and oppression and perverseness and stay thereon
therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall
swelling out in a high wall whose breaking cometh suddenly
at an instant he's saying this is going to be the reason why i judge you
because it's not that they're not content with preaching it's just that
they're wrong they want the wrong kind of preaching
the wrong kind of preaching they're just telling us they're just telling them hey
uh prophesy smooth things don't preach the hard things don't preach the hard
truths don't preach exactly what the bible
says we just want to feel good okay and look this is the problem and every
once in a while i got to preach on this on on the republican party and this
whole thing because you know christians get caught up in this stuff
right they get caught up in this stuff they get caught up in the alex jones
thing oh yeah they get caught up in all of that
and you know they start kind of deviating from biblical principles
only because these unsaved people say a couple things that we say
and all of a sudden they're placed on a pedestal as though they have authority
and as though they should be giving the attention that they are seeking for
folks go back to the bible don't worry about
what they're doing don't listen to them they're unsaved
the natural man received not the things of the spirit of god
neither can be known for their spiritually discerned and here's the
danger with a lot of these political groups okay
because that's not to say you know there's a lot of libertarians and
republicans that are saved in fact the vast majority of old ifb
are republicans and a lot of them are saved
but when you get into the the whole of social media
and you start like talking to some of these people who are republicans and all
these things you start seeing that their doctrine
is way off they have some crazy views about
salvation some of them are like one is
pentecostals some of them are just trinity deniers
oh but hold on they're against vaccines though
so you know let's just chill out i mean they they're against vaccines and they
hate biden so they get a free pass even though
they deny the trinity even though they they preach a repent of
your sins gospel even though they teach damnable heresy
but they get a free pass because you know
they're for medical freedom
i mean you guys hear what i'm saying here
folks at the end of the day you know having
believing and preaching on medical freedom doesn't delay the judgment from
a nation did you know that did you know that
preaching on those you know the political views and
and you know don't take the vaccine and all these things you know did you know
that that does not delay the judgment of god from coming
and in fact that group is the same group that teaches
that the vaccine is the mark of the beast
what in the world i can't tell you how many times on social media people have
to oh but it's the mark of the beast though
you know and it's just like no it's not this is what the bible says about it
i don't know about that i'm gonna have to look into that code word i'm gonna
have to youtube it find some some idiot conspiracy
theories who lives in his mother base mother's basement
to find out if that's true or not we need to keep preaching
what the bible says about sin and you know what it's
pastors of yesteryear it's actually their fault why we're in the situation
that we're in today because if they preached on sin then
these republicans and conservatives and libertarians
wouldn't have been able to move the goal post of morality
to say well this is where we need to stand in regards to this no we need to
keep the fight here
you know and look i'm celebrating that roe versus wade was overturned i'm
thankful because of the fact that that means that
you know maybe less babies are gonna die i think that's a great thing
okay but you know you know god's word says that the people who
uh own these abortion clinics should be put to death
every doctor of an abortion clinic should be put to death by the government
that's what the bible teaches because they kill babies
a bunch of wicked reprobates who have no problem destroying an innocent child
you know we're over here talking about oh great this is great yeah but what
about these criminals they are worthy of capital punishment
because they kill babies you see the goalpost has been moved
over here though so no one's talking about what's over
here the goalpost has been moved over here so
you got all these christians just talking about this
when in reality is like yeah but what about the criminals though
this is why it's important that we continue to proclaim god's word
and look the more we do it the more radical it's going to seem to people
because when you move the goalpost but we stay here
the further the people get down there the more crazy we look
whereas the unsafe people understood 50 years ago
what's being said over here folks the liberals
stood over here at one point right
it's important that preachers preach hard against sin
and we obviously can't legislate that you know
we're the off scouring of this world we just got to make sure that we do our part
in preaching god's word but you know what if if
god's telling me to preach the word be instant in season out of season
to reprove rebuke exhort with all long suffering and doctrine
and he's telling me to do it then i'm just going to go ahead and do my part
and preach hard against sin and let the chips fall where they may and you know
what who knows god can maybe delay his judgment
a little bit just because there's a couple pastors out there who are
actually preaching hard against sin amen and if he doesn't then great he'll
judge this nation we get to go home it's a win-win for me my friends
go with me if you would to joel chapter 3 joel chapter 3
he said why are you so mad about this you know because of the fact that
christianity is being diluted the bible is being diluted you know and
look i know the easiest people from you know to
reach sometimes are those who are in the republican
parties and libertarian parties you know i've been able to reach a lot of
them because of my content against vaccines
and medical freedom and all these things you know i've been able to reach out to
a lot of these people and teach them the right way of salvation and get them
saved and get them on the right bible and on
the right doctrine and thank god for that
but folks that's what we're supposed to be doing we're supposed to be reaching
them not joining them
you know i'm not going to join a coalition
of you know religious leaders who are against vaccines
especially because there's like jews in there and stuff like that
like i'm just going to set aside my you know biblical convictions because
they're against medical freedom or they're for medical freedom
what's another thing that uh will impede the judgment of god from coming
church is keeping the first love the first love
you say why is that well you know if churches are just doing their part
to win souls to christ i believe that that'll motivate god to delay his
judgment a little more because he loves people
and because he loves people and he sees that people are getting saved
he's going to give us more time to get more people saved
so how much more time i don't know i think we should just keep winning a lot
of souls to christ every week every month every year and
keep the first love the first love okay you know you think of genesis 18
prior to sonom and gomorrah being destroyed abraham is talking to the lord
he's saying you know if there's 50 righteous if there's 40 righteous
and god's like yeah if there is um i won't judge that
place of course there wasn't any there might have been like
maybe 10 you know all there was was really like
lot right but in reality he wasn't even living a righteous life he was just a
safe person who was in sodom and that's why he was
delivered okay but if we can if we can just get a
bunch of people saved in our nation maybe it can delay the judgment of god
a little more if we can lead more people to christ if
we can teach people the right way of salvation
you know it'll create more salt in this world okay
no we we need to go protest forget the protest
protest does nothing but agitate you anger you and put you in danger
okay you know these people who want to go out there and protest on the steps of
whatever i'm not for that i'm not for that at all you say why
because god didn't call us to go protest on the corner with the blow horn telling
these women to turn or burn
it's not what god's called us to do and it's ineffective
it's annoying and it's a bad testimony oh what you're saying right now is about
bad testimony this is god's house this is the house of god where god's
command is to preach this way and if it offends anybody then so be it
but we're not going to go out there you know to the steps of whatever
and just you know preach about all the sodomites and all the people who are
pro-abortion and all these things because it does not
going to do anything you're you're pleading with the reprobates of this
world right the the difference between the
reprobates that are protesting and the reprobates that are in office is that
one has suits and they have authority but they're probably just as wicked as
they are just just a news flash they're probably
just as wicked if not more than the people who are out there protesting
and and doing whatever you say well how do you know because
they're in positions of power
what's another way to delay god's judgment governments instituting
righteous laws governments instituting righteous laws
can impede the judgment of god from coming sooner
than later okay and again i'm thankful that roe versus wade
was overturned and but you know just let me just burst the bubble real
quick okay and look we're gonna have ice cream
afterwards
because i'm happy about that you know if i if you think about it too
hard it can bring you to tears to think that this nation you know
has advocated for the death of of innocent children for the last 50 years
where it was legal for women to just murder their own babies
innocent children i mean it's a sad thing but
let me just tell you is that even though legislating
righteous laws can impede the judgment of god from coming
god's not going to forget the last 50 years
let me just remind you of that he's not just going to overlook
the last whatever you know 50 million not 50 years but
50 million babies that have been murdered
because of roe versus wade it's not like oh whoa they made a good
decision now that's all right let let bygones be bygones
we'll forget it all you guys are trying he's going to require
that blood my friends look at joel 3 verse 19
egypt shall be a desolation and edom shall be a desolate wilderness
for the violence against the children of juda
because they have shed innocent blood in their land he's going to judge that
for the innocent blood
now i you know i hate to just rein in on the on the parade here but it's true
that's why i said that you know the judgment is already coming there's
nothing you can do to stop it but we can impede it a little bit and you
know what i heard that they're going to try to like ban
something what was it something about sodomites or something from what is it
getting married or something like that or make it illegal or something like
that i remember the whole thing that i heard
but once i heard something about some law against sodomites i was like yippee
kay yay you know anything please we'll take
anything
and you know what maybe that'll impede the judgment of god from coming just a
little bit okay now i will
let me just say this is that you know because a lot of good things are
happening right now okay you guys notice that a lot of good
things happening right now right it's kind of kind of sudden though
don't you think yeah it's a little suspect
you know it's just i call it the jerking of the steering wheel it's just
it's a little too sudden you know what i mean but i'll take it
i'll take it because i'm saved my friends we're saved we have a church
we're just serving god we're just kind of observing everything
from the outside you know and i'm just saying it just seems a
little too sudden for the pendulum to just swing so
violently on the opposite direction after like masks in 2020 and vaccines
and all this stuff and all of a sudden it's just like row versus wait over turn
it's like what all right cool i mean i guess i mean
is this real and then the other judge is like trying
to make laws against sodomites it's like what i mean we'll take it for sure but
are you serious
and it kind of makes you wonder like what's going on here
now the people who are not awake as the bible puts it
they're just like oh god's blessing our nation
god is with us
god bless america all these republican baptist churches out there
they're like waving their flags and
like maybe maybe god's not gonna do and here's the thing folks
let me just say this the reason we should want god to delay his judgment
why is that why do we want god to delay his judgment
get more people saved
to get more people saved to raise our children and the nurturing the
admonition of the lord to serve god do you know why they want to
delay the judgment of god because they like america
they're comfortable with their yacht and their you know possessions
and their money and that's what they're comfortable with
it's not like delay your judgment god so we can go to church more often
and hear god's word being preached most of those people don't even go to church
they don't even visit a church they hate hard preaching
they want it because they want to live comfortable lives that's why
you said what about the baptist uh you know churches that
want to delay god's judgment and they're not into those things well it's because
they're afraid of god's judgment and they live in this bubble where they
think america could do no wrong
they're fearful of god's judgment but folks why should we fear god's judgment
if we're doing right we're going to be like the noah daniel and jobe
well we're just going to survive by the skin of our teeth
because this nation is so wicked you see the purpose
of wanting the judgment to be delayed is so we can get more people saved so we
can serve our families so we can be in church folks we like
being in church we enjoy having the liberty of meeting
together every week preaching god's word fellowshipping
eating ice cream going soul winning exhorting one another daily
just hanging out and just serving god together these are the things that we
enjoy doing and that's why we would want to delay the judgment so we can do it
some more
but if god were to judge it then so be it because then we just go home sooner
what's the problem with that well you know i don't i don't want to go home why
are you afraid to go to heaven i'll tell you what it is is that you're
too deeply rooted in this world you love this world too much
you love the things of this world you love the possessions of this world
you're too entrenched in the things of this world
and that's why you don't want god to judge this world you want to still
you know uh drive your tesla or whatever and
your yacht and your helipad you know whatever
things people have nowadays they're too enwrapped in the things of this world my
friends
back to my point here governments instituting righteous laws can impede
the judgment of god go with me if you would to go to second
kings 23 second kings 23
i'm gonna read to you from jeremiah chapter 5 verse 27 verse 28 says they
are waxing fat they shine yea they overpass the deeds
of the wicked they judge not the cause the cause of the fatherless yet they
prosper and the right of the needy do they not
judge what is he talking about he's talking about the laws he's saying
you guys don't punish evil people you don't help the fatherless you don't
judge people who are doing wrong you're not judging making righteous judgments
you don't have righteous laws you're not legislating anything
righteous therefore verse 29 shall i not visit for these things
say that the lord shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation
as this look at second kings 23
and verse 4 now this is talking about jesiah
okay jesiah became a king at a very young age
and he loved the lord and one day he decides to just go clean up the house of
god because no one went to church apparently
so he's like well let's clean up the house of god so we send people to go
clean the house of god and guess what they found in the house
of god the bible they grab the bible and they're like
and they started reading and they're like maybe we should show this to the
king so they take it to jesiah and and they
begin to read the laws of god and jesiah is so beside himself
because he he sees everything that god commanded him to do as a nation and they
weren't doing it and he saw the judgment that was going
to come upon him because of it and he was so vexed by what he read that
he rent his clothes this is later on of course he's a lot
older at this point he rents his garments and he's so
distraught by the fact that their nation was was so rebellious
against the lord and the fact that they were going to be
judged by god it broke his heart
and god saw that and he he he essentially told him like evil is not
going to come upon you and uh the nation in your days
because you had a tender heart he didn't say he was never going to
judge israel ever again he just said it wasn't going to come in your days
because you had a tender heart and folks let me say this we need to work on
having a tender heart not a tender heart in the sense of you
know we just tolerate everything under the sun we're talking
about tender heart towards god's judgments
that we would be grieved with the things that grieve god
but look what he does afterwards verse four says the king commanded hilkiah the
high priest and the priest of the second order
and the keepers of the door to bring forth out of the temple of the lord all
the vessels that were made for bale and for the grove and for all the hosts
of heaven and he burned them without jerusalem in the fields of kidron
and carry the ashes of them unto bethel so the first thing he did is like get
all this crap out of here get all these idols and
bale and all this stuff all these vessels and burn it up
verse five and he put down the idolatrous priests
whom the kings of judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the
cities of judah and in the places round about jerusalem
them also that burn incense unto bale unto the sun into the moon
oh look what it says into the planets oh wow i guess planets do exist huh
and to all the hosts of heaven so what's the second thing he did all right
let's get rid of all these lame limp-wristed pastors in the nation real
quick all these you know these pastors who
worship the star of remfan who have it on on their platform and
they worship the jews you guys are gone
verse six and he brought up the grove from the house of the lord without
jerusalem unto the book kidron and burned it at the book uh brooke
kidron and stamped it small to powder and cast
the powder thereof upon the graves of the children of the people
man so he's like dumping and then he's like pouring the ashes out i mean he's
mad
verse seven and he break down the houses of the sodomites
that were by the house of the lord where the woman wove hangings for the grove
he's like tear it all down he broke down the houses of the sodomites
i want to meet jesiah when we get to heaven like how did that you know
can you tell that story again how did that happen
now folks you know you you read this verse
to some republican christian out there who's for medical freedom this will
offend them why would he do that though god loves
everyone we should try to reach them jesiah
didn't reach them he reached for the hammer
he reached for the sledgehammers what he did and he broke down the houses of the
sodomites he's like now there's vacancy
i mean asa by the way did essentially the same thing
he took them out of the land he chased them out of the land
and he brought all the priests out of the cities of juden to file the high
places where the priests had burned incense
from giba to brashiba and break down the high places the gates that were in the
entering in the gate of joshua the governor of the city which were on a
man's left hand at the gate of the city so he's just desecrating all of bale
stuff he's like throwing it down he's lighting it on fire
he's chasing out the sodomites he's breaking down the houses
i mean he's cleaning house now why is he doing that
because he has a tender heart for god's law
and it's the reason why god told him i'm not going to judge this nation in your
generation because you're a righteous person now
if what he did there was not a good thing then god wouldn't have delayed the
judgment you know how come god didn't say hey
whoa i love everyone
right i accept everyone
that's not what he said you know just like finehas when he made shish kebab of
of the israelite with the moabite ish woman you guys
remember that moabite you know the israelite went
into a tent with a moabite ish woman to commit fornication in the sight of
israel and god and moses and everyone and finehas grabbed the javelin and was
like i'll take care of this i've been
practicing and he just goes and he thrusts them
through the belly and you know everyone's watching him do
this and by the way this is like a million people
out of a million people only one guy was willing to stand up and do this
and god said i'll stay the plague but not because of israel but because of
finehas because he was zealous for my sake he
was just as mad as i was and therefore the plague was stayed god
didn't destroy israel because of finehas he didn't say whoa why don't you
disciple them
finehas you should have i love everyone yeah you don't really find that verse in
the bible when people are doing stuff like this
go to jonah chapter 3
what's the point that i'm trying to make there you know when a nation does
something like overturn roe versus wade
obviously there's wicked people who are doing like the the u.s supreme court
they're not fundamental baptists okay so don't try to make them out to be
like these righteous fundamental baptists by the way that's another thing
where people try to make the u.s supreme court you know they're filled with
catholics there's like jews and and methodists or
whatever all these other you know denominations
of they're not saved don't try to make them out to be like
these fundamental baptists who just love the word of god
because they're not
you know they obviously have conservative values and yes
you know it's a great thing that they did that but you know what i'm just
gonna go ahead and give that credit to the lord
instead of some person who's gonna end up persecuting me in the end times
anyways
but when governments do that you know god
can delay his judgment because of that why because now babies are going to be
spared in certain states obviously and it's
crazy you know los angeles they're like rioting right now in los angeles
even though california it's not illegal in california
it's so stupid here's the last thing is that talk about
delaying the wrath delaying the judgment what's the last
thing that's needed humility a nation has to humble themselves
a leader is supposed to humble himself a president should be
humbled okay in order to delay the judgment of god look at jonah 3
verse 4 and jonah began to enter into the city of day's journey and he
cried and said yet 40 days and Nineveh shall be overthrown
so the people of Nineveh believed god and proclaimed a fast and put on sackcloth
from the greatest of them even to the least of them for word came unto the
king of Nineveh and he arose from his from his throne and he laid his robe
from him and covered him with sackcloth and sat in ashes
and he caused it to be proclaimed and published throughout Nineveh
through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles saying let neither
man nor beast heard nor flock taste anything
let them not feed nor drink water i mean even the animals were fasting
but let man and beast be covered with sackcloth
and cry mightily unto god yea let them turn
everyone from his evil way and from the violence that is in their hands
who can tell if god will turn and repent and turn away from his fierce anger
that we perish not and god saw their works that they turn from their evil way
and god repented of the evil that he had said that he would do unto them
and he did it not their humility was so so visible before god that even the
animals were in sackcloth and ashes like the owners of the beast are like
pouring ashes on the animals and like just sit
and causing them to like humble themselves and obviously that's like
extreme right but it shows you how extreme they were
in wanting to get right with god that they wanted god to see how humble
they were so that god would not destroy them
now this is a great story to to to illustrate that right
but here's the thing what a lot of people don't know is that Nineveh was
actually still destroyed because in Nahum chapter 3 verse 7
it talks about Nineveh being made desolate
now that was about a hundred years after a little over a hundred years after
but you know what Jonah did and what the king did of Nineveh delayed that
judgment now judgment was still going to come in the future and it did and
Nineveh was just completely made desolate it was destroyed by god
okay you can see that later on in the book of Nahum
but the point is is that humility delayed
that judgment now here's the thing okay go to revelation 18
the instance is the examples that we gave tonight
were essentially of different time periods throughout Israel
where this particular sin was being done and then they repented
they got right with god and god delayed that judgment okay
and you think to yourself well if we do this then maybe god will delay his
judgment if we legislate some sort of righteous
law god would delay his judgment if we are not committing adultery in this
nation as a whole we'll delay god's judgment we'll preach
hard maybe god will delay his judgment you know
but what if like a nation is responsible for like all these things though
what if a nation is just an adulterous perverse
prideful you know just a filthy wicked murderous nation
then you kind of kind of wonder maybe that's not going to apply to us
but who knows i hope it does
look at revelation 18 verse 4 when talking about babylon it says in
verse 4 and i heard another voice from heaven saying come out of her my people
that you be not partakers of her sins and that you receive none of her plagues
for her sins have reached them to heaven and god has remembered her iniquities
reward her even as she rewarded you and double unto her double according to her
works in the cup where which she hath filled
to her double how much she hath glorified herself
and lived deliciously so much torment and sorrow give her
for she saith in her heart i sit a queen and am no widow
and shall see no sorrow what is that called
pride like nothing's gonna happen to me i'm not gonna see the sorrow i'm not
gonna see anything bad i sit a queen i'm no widow i see no sorrow
verse 8 therefore shall her plagues come in one day
death and mourning and famine and she shall be utterly burned with fire
for strong is the lord god who judgeth her what do we see here we see that
humility is essential to delay god's judgment okay now
don't be so much of a party pooper as myself
that when a legislation is passed like row versus way being overturned
that you don't rejoice because we still should rejoice over that
we should be happy about that because it's going to be illegal for some woman
out there to murder her baby in the state in which
she lives and you know considering the gas prices she's probably not willing to
drive to another state where she can do that
so before we get up in arms about gas prices hey that'll impede
some of these women from traveling to another state to get it
and you know people always bring people bring this up all the time yeah but what
about rape what about rape somehow like this this
whole thing about rape is is still just it's like a justified
scenario where a woman can murder her baby but
think about this folks why punish the baby
for the crime of a rapist rapist doesn't get any punishment it's just like the
baby does so you're gonna murder the baby
because of the crime of some individual it's disgusting it's stupid it's
backwards it's not logical at all so what if the
rapist never gets caught okay then the rapist never gets caught
but you still don't punish so are you just going to look for someone to punish
oh the rapist never gets caught i guess i'll just punish the baby yeah just
punish the most innocent person in the whole scenario which is the
baby it's nonsense folks you know and you know a lot of this can
just be completely avoided if people just don't
fornicate right don't fornicate don't commit
adultery get married and do it that way
but you know i'm sure there's couples out there that still
practice abortion and it's still wicked
and that's why folks god's not going to turn away his wrath from judging this
nation he's going to judge it it's going to
happen but let's do our part to delay that as much as possible
not so we can just live lavishly and deliciously
and just kind of relax and and and be a conservative nation
whatever no so we can serve god more for the night cometh when no man can work
because the vast majority of people out there who want to delay the judgment of
god are doing it so they can just live deliciously
and not be bothered by the liberals and the democrats and so they can
make memes against the the democrats for four another four years
just to do that folks our purpose and i'm not against memes
i got a doctor it's a ministry okay i love the mean ministry
i'm all for memes it's a way to it's a way for me to relax
just hang out for a little bit make a couple memes you know
bring some joy to your life when you click on my story
right
but what we want is to save people to start churches to turn people to
righteousness to serve god to be under god's law freely
amen let's pray to that end lord thank you so much for your word
i pray that you would not judge this nation as soon
sooner than later lord just so you can give us more time
more time to to win more souls to christ maybe we have family members who are not
saved we need more time to reach them and
more time to turn people to righteousness more time to read the
bible more time to earn rewards more time to
just walk with you and i pray god that you'd help us lord
as a church to do our part and um to preach the word
of god to win souls to christ to get right with you lord
and um i pray lord that you help us to rejoice in that which is righteous
and and just kind of view things from the outside as we continue to serve you
lord and may you bless our church continue to
prosper us lord as a church protect the people in our church
bless them financially physically with health lord
and uh bless them with more children bless us lord that we may continue to
serve you even in this crooked and perverse
generation we love you we thank you pray these things in jesus name amen
