0:00:00 - 0:00:23 I read the following in the depths of humility. This message is for those who profess belief in God who know that there are things in their life, out of alignment with what God would do in their place. My question for you is what are you waiting for? Think about the consequences of your choices. Realize 0:00:22 - 0:00:48 that those consequences are only presently attenuated because of the blood of Christ. That's a scaffold. It's meant to come off and it will come off one day whether you like it or not, you will face greater and greater consequences. I know because I've already walked through what awaits you. I've willingly 0:00:47 - 0:01:14 walked into what Jesus offers all and you still have the choice to do the same. You can only overcome what he has overcome if you come to him so that He can teach you how to do it, do it today if you choose not to do so or you do so with only small effort, they will come upon you before you are prepared 0:01:13 - 0:01:43 to face them. I know the price of comfort in his presence. I know what it's like to not be able to look him in the eyes and I know what it's like to feel more peace, joy, and intimacy with him than anyone even yourself. I promise you that there is nothing in this world that can compare to witnessing 0:01:42 - 0:02:20 the Lord's joy for you. And in you, there is no price on this earth that's consequential. In comparison. You will stand before him, whether in this life or the next. If you have not prepared for that day, I will tell you what it will be like. You will experience a deeper desire than anything you've ever 0:02:20 - 0:02:50 felt to be anywhere. But where you are, the pain and sorrow and guilt you feel then will make everything negative you've ever experienced or even contemplated, seem like nothing in comparison. And now I will tell you why you will feel that way. He will not be able to hide his love for you. And you will 0:02:50 - 0:03:24 know something of what he did every moment of your life to help you guide you and to lead you to greater outcomes than you could even imagine. You will know something of what it cost him and how glad he was to do it. But you would not let him, I implore you to start today to make any changes. You need 0:03:24 - 0:03:55 to, to align with what you understand the Lord would do in your place. Do it. Now, don't do it out of fear, don't do it out of guilt, do it because you love him and love him because he loved you first. When the world blows itself up, it will be too late. You don't realize the resources God has given 0:03:54 - 0:04:19 you. It will all go away sooner than people realize it will happen in ways that seem like waves in ways that seem like all at once as it does. You will wish you had spent your time differently when it was so much easier. You will not have the money, you will not have the time. You will not have the materials 0:04:18 - 0:04:43 like this video that you do now. Not only that, it will be so much more difficult to make the changes you're putting off. Now when you're fighting or fleeing for your life or enslaved or if you make it that far, engaged in the nonstop toil of feeding, housing and clothing yourself without the aid of 0:04:43 - 0:05:11 machines, fuel or electricity, I promise you that this generation will see what I have described fulfilled. And in that day, it will be too late. Today is the day to come to Christ like you never have before. I'm not telling you to neglect the duties God is giving you, putting food on the table, taking 0:05:10 - 0:05:37 care of your Children, making sure your house doesn't fall apart, et cetera, but prioritize and execute all things in the context of God's will for you and for the world seek ye first the kingdom of God to this many rebut. But I only have so much time. This reminds me of a conversation I had with a student 0:05:36 - 0:06:00 , one who came to me complaining that he was falling behind in his assignments because he didn't have any more time to give. I looked him in the eyes and I said, how many, how many hours a week did you, do you spend playing video games and hang out with your friends? It was as much time as he had spent 0:06:00 - 0:06:24 on his homework. I said until that number is zero. Don't complain about having no time. You have plenty of time. You're just choosing to spend it on other things. If you treat God like a hobby, you have no promise. You're a dead branch and you'll be burned as the fire continues to increase in intensity 0:06:23 - 0:06:47 beyond your ability to endure how arrogant we are to assume we can have all the blessings of Abraham and Enoch by doing exactly nothing they did. God is no respecter of persons. He's completely impartial. He operates by cause and effect otherwise known as eternal law, otherwise known as the new and everlasting 0:06:46 - 0:07:11 covenant. You live by the principles you receive the blessings. It's that simple. You do not have less time than Abraham. You do not have less time than enoch. You do not have less time than me. You just choose to spend it on other things and that is why you are in a different place. The requirement 0:00:00 - 0:00:23 I read the following in the depths of humility.

If you give him everything you have, he will give you everything He has. There is no other way. Turn to God today with all your heart, give him all of yourself so he can give you all of himself.
