We can't let this die we can't let we can't let the soul in a great soul any movement that's going on right now die With this generation we have to reach the next generation, but how did Nineveh end up and why? Nahum chapter 3 you don't have to turn there if you don't want to I'll just read it for you Nahum chapter 3 verse 18 Says if you want to you can though thy shepherds Slumber O King of Assyria thy nobles shall dwell in the dust thy people is scattered upon the mountains and No, man gathereth them There is no healing of thy bruise thy wound is grievous all that here The Bruet of thee shall clap the hands over thee for upon whom hath not thy wickedness passed continually So how did it Nineveh become this place that you know got saved basically the whole almost the whole city gets saved and then 150 years later. He's God's saying there's no healing of thy bruise They're done their wound is grievous, and it's a fate. It's a fatal wound basically is what it's saying. It's because They didn't pass it on to their children and their children's children You know they you know that's what happens whole cities can die whole cities can just be given over to the devil I mean look at the city, or I'm from Portland, Oregon. It's a hellhole It's a little it's a liberal hellhole full of bicyclists and And Bunch of liberals and bunch of queers. It's disgusting, but you know the outs out someone's saying is Portland's receptive Well, there's areas of Portland that are receptive, but the inner city area no No, if you go down to the queer areas obviously they're not going to be receptive So what does God do to cities towns and villages when they get like Nineveh? He destroys them What he do to Sodom and Gomorrah? Destroyed it Matthew 11 verse 21 says woe unto the Corazon woe unto the best Seder for if the mighty works Which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes But I say unto you shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment than for you and thou Capernaum which are exalted unto heaven shall be brought down to hell For if the mighty works which have been done in thee had been done in Sodom it would have remained until this day and See this is this is the thing steadfast Baptist Church has a chance to at least give the people around here a chance Right these people and all these in all these areas to give them a chance to not be brought down to hell To be you know this says Capernaum was exalted you know which are exalted unto heaven shall be brought down to hell it's not talking about the buildings talking about the people and So whole places can go to hell in a handbasket because there's nobody to reach them or because they just reject the gospel And that's when it's time to move on Isaiah chapter 17 verse 1 says the burden of Damascus behold Damascus is taken away from being a city and it shall be a ruinous heap So if we fail to see cities the way God does It can have massive repercussions for the people in that area and You know obviously for the churches the church God's not just gonna sit by and let churches just continue to be Country Club Baptist Church You know they you know we can't we can't God can't afford to have this weakness on the front lines We got to have a powerhouse churches that are knocking the doors and getting people saved on the front lines
