Isaiah Saldivar | Relationship Not Religion

come on give him some praise tonight come on can we give him some praise tonight come on is he not worthy I know I sound like The Dark Knight just help me is he not worthy of our praise is he not worthy of our shout is he not worthy of us being radical and loud I gave the older generation a pass to be quiet I'm not giving you a pass to be quiet if we could shout for the world open come on I need to help on this mic if we can shout for the world if we can shout for the football games if we can shout at college and we can be excited about the things that do not matter in eternity and I want to know how much more should we come to church and be excited about a God that rose from the grave friend you don't serve a week ago you don't serve an complacent quarter you serve a god that the Bible says on the third day and I know some of you were in this place just more at this tonight and you're acting like god is dead you act like the God that you serve is not radical you act like the God that you serve is not passionate you act like the God that you serve is boring I want to tell you that I spent years in church and I step back saying why are they lifting their hands huh why are they shouting like that why are they praise him like that and I did not realize that you can't lift your hands if there are chains on your hands I didn't realize the problem wasn't the people that we're excited and passionate and shouting the problem was I didn't have a revelation of the Son of God I didn't realize that God was a reality that is the problem in our generation we have a God that we have made in our image and we need to get back to the God that made us and His image we have a God take your seat if you could give me as much as you can thank you I apologize my voice is gone we have a god that is not passionate any longer we have a God that is not radical any longer we have a God that isn't excited that doesn't shout I look at people they say what is all the shouting for it's why Jesus came to the tomb of Lazarus and the Bible doesn't say there we go thank you so much the Bible doesn't say Jesus came up in the tomb an old Lazarus would you raised up from the dead o Lazarus would you come up from the grave the Bible says in Jesus look at the grave and yelled at the grave and said Lazarus comes forth dead things respond to loud noises I give you permission tonight to be loud I give you permission tonight to try shouting to try praising the louder you are the better I'll preach I have a hard time preaching to people see friend a quiet church is a dead church and if I went to parties and they were quiet and I laughed why would I want to come to church that's a pathetic and quiet I want to be a part of the remnant in the earth that is radical and dedicated let people see and go there must be something if you read the book of Acts the Bible says and the world thought they were drunk raise god thanks for that Tiger Woods clap right there friend the world didn't sit them and say oh wow what a cute God you serve basically you guys are having so much fun you guys are acting crazy what does it mean to be drunk it means to do something I otherwise would not have done I was an alcoholic for years I drank every single day and I was the guy that did the stupidest thing when he got drunk I was the guy that acted jump out of the car jump off the building jump into all the ridiculous things and then when I got saved it wasn't that I wasn't crazy anymore it was just that I was crazy for something else see God is not here to take your passion and to take your excitement and to take your zeal God is here to make make it more you have you more passion to give you more excitement to give you more zeal to give you more longer for different things people come to me all the time say Isaiah my friends at college don't want to be Christian my friends at a high school don't want to be Christian my friends at junior high don't want to be Christian why because they don't want to be like us we are the 67th book of the Bible and we have to ask ourselves this question what is the world reading when they read us are they reading a people that don't have passion are they reading of people that are not excited are they reading of people that just kind of sit around and just kind of play religion and play church or do they look into people help me as much as you could please or are they looking out at people that are holy people that are walking with God people that are on the narrow road that don't look like the world we are called to be set apart to be set aside to be different than the rest of the world we are not called to blend into the culture and a lot of us are frustrated tonight because we're trying to figure out who live in both worlds come on as much as you can give me please how do I maintain my life in the world and maintain my life in the church at the same time and so what happens become the church and we're not excited we come to church and we're not passionate that's why the Bible says where the Spirit of the Lord there is Liberty what was Paul talking about he wasn't saying where the Spirit of the Lord is demons get cast out and people get set free here's what Paul was saying he was saying where the Spirit of the Lord is there's no religion we don't have to be religious any longer see religion says do not shout in church religion says do not be excited about God religion says do not come to the altar but Paul says now that we have the Holy Ghost we don't have to walk in religion any longer we don't have to walk by the regulations and I don't know about Sheila but I am so glad that Jesus tore the veil huh I am so glad that's a great place to shout that I can enter into the presence of God and here's what saddens me the most there was a price paid for you to freely enter into the presence of God you think oh it's no big deal if I don't shout it's no big deal if I don't worship it's no big deal if I'm not excited it's no big deal if I'm not radical here's what you don't realize that your obedience other people's destinies are hinged whether you are obedient or not see when I said yes to God I said yes seven years ago January 12 2011 December 31st 2010 I was playing a beer pong tournament and January 15 2011 I was casting out Devils why because I understood when I stood at that altar that when God spoke to me audibly said I don't want 99.9 percent of you I was an atheist every other other word was the f-word I was drinking every day don't you sit here and tell me oh my sin is too great for God friend I want to tell you that the blood of Jesus and the power of the cross that break every shackle could break every addiction could break every demon power for the wages of sin is death but the gift oh man this is great preaching this is good preaching the gift of God is eternal life this is what the church isn't telling you you're gonna have to pay for your sin one day it's like when I go to the coffee shop and I order that latte and I order that drink an hour to that food you don't expect to get it for free you expect to have to pay for your enjoyment and what we do not realize is that our sin are compromising the fact that there are many of us in this room whether we like it or not that are addicted to pornography that are addicted to social media but the enemy has used iPhones and androids to vomit upon this generation we live in the most extra lies pornified generation that has ever walk the earth but let me give you good news but in the midst of darkness covering the earth there is a group of people that are being the light there are a group of people that are fighting back against the forces of hell you have the power and the keys to death hell and the grave Jesus overcame the world and gave you the keys to break addiction gave you the keys to break dysfunction huh you don't have to be bound to pornography you don't have to be bound to lust you don't have to be obsessed with the culture he's given you the same spirit come on somebody help me preach in this church that raised Christ he's living on the inside of you he's not looking for people that are quiet about their faith he's not looking for people that would go out into the culture and live just like the world that would be terrible sinners because they know the truth and be terrible Christians because they're living in Santa see this is what we've taught that there is a carpool lane to Christianity this is what Jesus taught the disciples in the book of Matthew he said there are two roads there is a broad road and there is a narrow road and let me explain something very clear to you right now the broad road has nothing to do with the world the world not on either road because the world is not saved here's what Jesus was telling the disciples that there are two roads that go right through the American Church there is a narrow road how do I know preacher if I'm on the narrow road because the Bible says that it is a difficult road and it's not an easy peazy Christianity Road where you can have your best life now and you can live like the devil and as long as you pray a little prayer and if Jesus build a treehouse in your heart then everything is going to be fine it is a road where you pick up a cross will you denied your ambitions when you - oh I only preach Holy Ghost will you deny your dreams where you say I'm laying everything down in light of this man why because he's better than drugs he's better than drinking he's better than sex he's better than the pleasures that's the answer son oh don't drink oh don't party I don't go sleep around you think a preacher getting up here and yelling at you not to do something's gonna stop you from the powers and the forces of Hell friends you know the only things gonna stop is you finding something better is you finding the Bible says it's like a man that finds a treasure hidden in a field and goes and sells everything he has to buy that treasure her friend understand the man was not in somebody else's field he was trespassing he was breaking the law haha but the Bible says that while we were sinners Christ died for us it's in the middle of our sin that we find the treasure and when we find the treasure it demands a response some of you you come every week to look at the treasure but you don't have the treasure you come to church oh look there's Jesus praise God oh look there's a preacher praise God oh the presence of God let me get my little goosebumps on Sunday let me get my little goosebumps on prayer-meeting let me just come up here and let's see if the air sends up on the back of my neck while the preacher preaches oh that must be the Holy Ghost trying to view think that the Holy Ghost hey so dumb down to just a once a week thing where we come and get the chill bumps and the goose bumps I want to tell you right now that when you really get the treasure it's not something you leave at church some of you need to stop leaving your Christian at church and say I'm going to take it home with me I'm gonna bring it around the broken I'm going to bring it around the loss I'm going to bring it around the world but you can't get the treasure if you haven't sold everything how do I know I'm a Christian have you given up everything well I've given everything but this think I mean I think give the girl that God wanted me to give because you know have you seen her and I just don't want it you know really mess things up and I didn't really give up the language and I didn't give up the music and and so we hope we give up what we want to give up we give up what's most convenient we come to the altar we say okay let me find the easiest thing to sacrifice in my life and let me lay that down before God and let me ask God to bless my mess let me give God half of my life and see if God will bless it friend here's the problem there's two roads there's a narrow road where you lay down everything and then there's the broad road see the broad road is where most of the churches the broad rows Jesus is the easy road it's the road where you just follow the crowd everybody else is watching it everybody else is drinking it everybody else is posting and everybody else is doing it the problem is did God call you to be like everybody else o or did God say I want you to be set apart I want you to be set aside I want you to be different see when I got saved I went home I had 40,000 songs on my tunes deleted every single one of them was with a girl for four years don't look at me say oh you don't know I didn't relationship I don't care how long you've been a relationship if God says she's not your wife or he's not your husband then you break it off do not let anything in your life here is what I'm trying to tell you it is not worth letting anything in your life damage or stop the calling and the destiny that God has on your life that God has a plan for your life then you're gonna find someone better than that girl that God's gonna have you marry not someone to mess around with not someone to be friends with benefits with but someone that you're actually gonna make your wife the problem is you can't get what God has for you unless you lay down what you have for you unless you stop following the culture following the plan that devil has and take god I'm gonna follow your plan I'm gonna follow what you have from my life I was with the girl for four years planning on marrying her and God said break up with her my whole dream my entire life was to be a police officer you asked my uncle four years old police officer six years old I want to be a police officer ten years old I want to be police officer 12 years old I want to be a police officer 15 years old I want to be a police officer I graduate high school at 16 years old want to be a police officer I graduated college at 19 years old with a degree in administration of justice getting hired as a police officer 19 years is all I ever want to do is be a police officer and guess what I'm about to become a police officer and then all the sudden God have you ever had God come into your life and just wreck your plans and just remove what you wanted to do remove where you wanted to go and say I got a plan for your life I wish you'd help me right here I have a plan for your life and it's better than your plan see there's only one way and it's God's Way it's not your way as Yahweh God is looking for it people that say card huh oh by the way this is my gangster Walker I want your plan in my life I want your destiny in my life I'm tired and worn out with chasing the pleasures and the American dream I'm tired of bowing but down before golden idols and statues I need your presence I need your power I need your anointing and I need your authority in my life and I can't settle for Less with the girlfriend over a text message somebody say man what's the number one rule in dating you never break up with a girl especially a girl over text messages but God said break up with her over text message why because if you call her you're gonna get back with her if you see here you're gonna get back with her that's how powerful that spirit is and so I broke up with the girl I was with her for years I was pretty much living with this girl her parents call me their son into this day I have not talked to her since why because when God says to cut something off you don't try to say WOW God what about this and what about this and what about this if God says get rid of it then you get rid of him I got rid of the girl I got rid of the job I got rid of the music I got rid of the friends why because jesus said this he said I'm I'm going to try to convince you to follow them here I'm not gonna come and say oh just pray a prayer and invite me into your heart and everything's going to be fine Jesus looked at the people and said if anyone wants to follow me here he must first deny himself he must lay everything down and some of you are trying to figure out how can I follow Jesus tonight without laying everything down Richard would you tell me if there's a shortcut to being a Christian is there a shortcut is there an Instagram version of the gospel where I could just quickly like it and I could just follow it friend I'm telling you there's only one way and that's self-denial huh that self that's laying it down and going I'm burnt out trying to play both sides why cuz we all know you're faking it you come in here and you try so hard to act like you've been praying all week I'm preaching and I'm gonna glass on so if I'm staring at you oh that pray chair staring at me I can't even see any of you I don't know whether you're a guy or girl what color I'm just everything's a blur right now but I'm preaching the spirit at some of you that are coming in here and you're tired because there are secrets in in your life and you have on you have honestly convinced yourself that God does not know about your secret sin you have honestly convinced yourself that God somehow has justified your compromising that God is somehow okay with your idols that are in your life but I'm telling you friend it's not to be mean it's not that you get set free and that God could push you on the plan and the destiny that you stopped running from the call of God see the Bible says in Jonah that God called Jonah and the Bible says he coach only to be a messenger of truth this is your assignment your assignment is not to come to church and just sit here once a week is that part of it yes but if that's all we're doing that's called religion our job is to come to church is to get the marching orders and to go back into the world and establish the kingdom of God some of you the picture you have of Jesus is the picture at your grandma's house where he's petting a lamb with a little rainbow banner on his chest friend I want to tell you right now that our God is not a weak God but our God is a God of War do you know what your Bible says it says that there's a day where the skies about to open up and the warlord is coming down on a warhorse and his robes are going to be dripped in blood and he's going to declare war on the nation's you do not serve a weak God that can't save that can't deliver that can't bring breakthrough you search your home for rough you serve the god of the heavens armies you serve a god that says I'm gonna shatter every compromise I'm going to break every team in Revelation 20 verses 10 says and then I saw Satan get thrown with the false prophet in the beasts and the lake of fire where they will be tormented for all of eternity day and night day and night I have good news for some of you that need to tell your face to smile at the end of the day we win we are on the winning side God has called to us to fight this battle and get off the sidelines blows me away how excited the spectators are at football games and I'm thinking do they know and our culture says oh it's normal here's crazy you'll paint your body half of a color and go to a football game in 20-degree weather and you'll shout and scream for your favorite team and shake your stomach and do all this crazy stuff and you're considered normal in the culture and then a guy like me comes and tries to get you excited about a god that died and rose from the dead for your sin and my sin and you call me crazy you call those yelling at the football games normal and there is time for a new normal in the American church and it looks like radical Christianity here it looks like radical dedication huh it looks like us being more passionate than this world is about our God I look at this and I go do speak do you realize that spectating does not get you a reward but only those that are participating it's like a guy that goes to a gym for an entire year but you never see any results if your friend went to the gym for a year and you had the membership and the clothes and the outfit and some of you girls you post the pictures of your gym clothes yeah you don't even ever go to the gym and we get all excited and we buy the membership and buy the clothes that's kind of like what we're doing the church and after a year of going to the gym I look at my for a nice day bro what are you doing up the gym coz you don't look any different oh I don't work out what do you mean I just go to the gym and watch you watch what other people exercise other people work out oh yeah I have the membership that I paid for I have the nice little Christian clothes that I paid for but I don't actually exercise I don't actually engage I don't actually get involved and how dumb you and you let you answer me this question how dumb would it be for that guy to be shocked that he's not seeing any change in his life yeah we come to church every week and we watch other people pray we watch other people come to the altar we watch other people read the Bible we watch other people pray and then we go I don't know why I'm not seeing results may because you're spectating maybe cuz you come do you know somebody else your shout is not gonna give you a breakthrough so long as Isaiah shouts as long as Isaiah loses voice praise God I don't have to lose my voice the problem is I'm getting breakthrough not you and you're gonna have to realize that you're gonna have to be accountable for your own salvation I'm just gonna say this as nice as possible you're not 10 years old anymore you need to stop relying on your pimp nice as much as possible you need to stop relying on your parents his prayer life on your pastors prayer life and say wait a minute I'm a big girl and I'm a big boy and I'm gonna have to start praying for myself I'm gonna have to start seeking God for myself I'm gonna have to start crying out for myself I'm gonna have to start being dedicated for myself I'm actually gonna have to come to the altar tonight for myself and by myself I don't care if my friend does not come I don't care if my neighbor doesn't come I don't care who thinks I'm crazy huh I am crazy I have the Holy Ghost I talked to an invisible God I have the life of Christ living on the inside of Mia he says Jonah go preach to Nineveh here's what Jonah does the Bible says he goes down to Joppa and buys a ticket to get on a ship going to Tarshish Jonah went the opposite way of where God called him to go this is the anthem of the young generation we are going the opposite way of where God has called us to go and it interests me because it says Jonah bought a ticket friend there is a price to your disobedience you think that it's free to be disobedient you say oh I'll get right with God tomorrow and that problem is that's what you said yesterday the greatest life the enemy will give our generation is that we have more time friend we are in the final seconds of human history you do not have time to sit here tonight and say oh let me pray about it you don't have to pray about giving up everything you know have to pray about coming to the altar huh you don't the pray about being radical huh you need to do it because God says in his word but only those that lay down everything could gain eternal life only those that respond so what happens to those that are halfway in halfway out simple God vomits you out he says I wish you were one or the other I count to the guy one time and I'm a pastor and pastors aren't supposed to say this I said bro you should just go back to the world he's like oh you're a pastor you shouldn't be telling me that I said no I didn't tell you Jesus told you in Revelation he says I would rather you just be cold if you're gonna be back and forth see some of you you look at your life and you go well I'm not really burning on fire every day waking up in the morning and I always think about is God and being obsessed with the Prince of God because by the way that's what being on fire is being on fire is not some new United Pursuit song that you sing when you say put a fire in me that I can't contain you can't control and you sing it but don't live it the fire of God Jeremiah said it's something that is shut up on the inside of my bones it's something that I cannot control I get up here many times and go alright God let me just preach and be calm enough but then I can operate and I feel the fire of God I feel the presence of God in my life and I go god I can't contain this fire that you put on the inside of me I can't contain what you're doing I don't know about you but tonight I am believing for the fire of God to come upon my life I am believing for the presence of God that was the problem Jonah tried running from the manifest presence of God he wanted the call without the conviction see there's two presence of gods in the Bible there's the presence of God where God is everywhere and then there's number two the presence of God and it's the manifested convicting presence of God and our generation loves being worshiped loves this thing we have us all generation we want other people like David to worship for us so that during worship we don't sense our demons and we get temporary delivered but I don't want to be temporary delivered huh I don't want David to play the instrument for me here I don't want David to worship for me I want to come to the altar tonight and say God have you saved a ridiculous young man at 19 named Isaiah huh that was an atheist I was drinking every day and you used them for revival in this country huh what could God to you in your life if you would start taking them serious if you say God I'm gonna go after you with everything I'm going to pursue you and I'm going to pursue people huh I'm gonna follow you and I'm going to establish the Great Commission huh here was the call that Jesus gave us go into the world and make disciples where should I go anywhere go do your work make disciples what if what if this was I oftentimes as I'm preaching they put up a clock for me and they didn't do it this time but I have a countdown of how long and some of these churches they're like okay you're gonna take X amount do not go a second over and I look at the clock and every time I get up and I watch that clock countdown I think in my mind what would it be like if we realize that at the end of that countdown our life was going to be over how would I preach if I realize that someone you might not be here tomorrow that some of you might not be here next week keep a double life you said oh tomorrow here's what the Bible says it doesn't say today's the day of salvation it says now is the day of salvation friend this might be the last altar call you ever say it oh don't be facetious don't say stuff like that I was just a month and a half ago preaching in my church and there was a man that was 22 years old a friend of mine and I was preaching saying you might not have two weeks huh you might not have three weeks and Q weeks later he went off the center divided 200 feet to his death see he didn't realize that he was sitting in church and he only had two weeks left to live for it if you have 15 minutes left to live how would you actually respond to God huh how you look at your life and say I've been playing games with God I've been going through the motions I have lost my fire I have lost my zeal I have lost my hunger for God but tonight God is sounding the alarm he's saying it's time to wake up it's time to stop going in the opposite direction 20 people come up and the rest of us just sit back why we're lukewarm that's why that's why we sit back because we're lukewarm because we've lost our fire as a church and you know what the Bible says about it you say you're in need of nothing you just sit back and go oh I don't need more of God oh she needs more of God oh praise God she went forward have you heard the way she talks have you seen the way she dresses and we sit back and we judge people we say oh I don't need more of God and not till you say your need of nothing but do you know what I say I say you're poor you're blind you're miserable and you're naked why because from Heaven's perspective the life that I've created this illusion or this magical Christian life where I don't read where I don't fast where I don't pray God says I'm not approving of it there is only one life now that God has called us to her and it's a radical lifestyle of discipleship where we walk in the presence of God see Jonah went the opposite way and anyone could find a boat going the opposite way there will always be people in the church that are getting boats going the opposite way but I'm not interested and running from the call of God I am interested and running towards the call of God I don't want to live my life running from what God has called me to do nineteen years I ran flung myself at 12 years old angel pulled me off the rope I got down on the ground and I looked up and said something's watching me fell out of a car overdosed death day after day should have been dead hid him in 10 got guns pulled on he should have been dead she should have been dead and do you know what I realized I realized that God was pursuing me even though I was going the opposite of the way of God even though I was running from Makaha I don't know about you tonight come on somebody help me in this place but I'm glad that the blood of Jesus was over the doorpost of my life I'm glad that I had the protecting power that's why when I get up here and I'm excited I don't really care what anybody thinks cuz you didn't save me you weren't there when God pulled me off the rope you weren't there when I fell out of that car you weren't there when I overdosed but the hand of God and the grace of God said I say I'm not going to leave you where you're at I'm not gonna leave you being apathetic in the church I'm not gonna leave you in religion huh I have more for your life but just going through the motions way up there so crazy preacher look at your life and I go there's some more more than what more than just going to school going to church being a part I love this I love the life groups I am I'm amazed when I walk in this room I travel all over the country me my uncle we've been from state to state back and forth we've been in some of the you the largest churches largest and I look at all these youth and I have yot to be in seven years at a church with this many youth I've been in churches with 6,000 7,000 members a youth group of 50 people a young adult group of 60 people and I walk in this room and I see this place packed out with young people and I go god there's hope for this generation I know that the devil hates it he thought he had this generation but we need some people that are gonna go the right way see the Bible says as Jonah went the opposite way that God hurled a storm at Jonah see oftentimes God will send storms into our life to get our attention Fran I want to ask you what is it going to take for God to get your attention tonight what is it going to take for God to wake you up forgot to get you off the path of pornography huh forgot to get you up the past of fornication your God to get you off the path of lying and of compromise what is it going to take for God to wake you up I don't want to have to get in a car accident before I respond to the call of God I don't want to have to lose a family member before I respond to the call of God want something bad to have to happen huh why is it every time something bad happens and now we want to pray everything's fine don't pray don't seek God don't fast don't really even need to come to church and then all sudden family member dies where are we back in the house of God why God allows storms to get your attention but God is saying I don't want to have to keep sending storms in your life I don't want to have to keep trying to wake you up I've sent a young man to come preach you tonight and I'm almost done I've sent me to come preach you because you're asleep see God hurled the storm at Jonah Jonah's on the ship with all these lost people here's what amazed me the Bible says and the men on the ship they came to Jonah and they asked him the same question then I'm gonna ask you tonight they said how could you be asleep at a time like this for and how is it that 70 plus million babies have been murdered since 1973 and so many of us are sound asleep how is it that the suicide rate that the divorce rate now what's happening in the world has been happening in the church and we're sound asleep how is it that so many of our friends and so many of our loved ones are on the broad road are dying and going to hell and we're sound asleep see God put them on your ship so that you can save them God put them on your ship so that you can preach to them but because you're not right with God you can't intervene see Jonah had the power to help these people but because Jonah wasn't living right Jonah was ineffective that's what's scary when you're living in sin when you're living in sin you won't share your face you're not gonna cast out Devils do you know many times I've been in deliverance and I'm casting out a demon and the demons talking to me and I brought someone with me that's in sin and the demon Strait calls out there saying and says why is he here he's doing this and starts calling out the person saying why because you can't free someone if you're a slave you can break the bondage of Satan if you're already oppressed and demonized by Satan if there was a man on that side of the room in Chains and a man in that side of the room unchanged that guy can't help that guy but if that guy would get his chains broken then he could go help that guy and a lot of us we're not able to share our faith because we're living in compromise and to be honest we don't really believe what we preach we don't really believe that God can save we don't really believe that God could deliver we go God give me more fire he goes wah you've done nothing with the fire if I get the worship team up if you've done nothing with the fire I've given you why would I give you more fire I remember when I started altar God said this I don't want 99.9% of you Jonah and you're gonna have to make a decision right now in this moment and I'm listen um I don't see there oh it's so hot I'm sweaty ER than you I have no voice so I promise I'm more uncomfortable than anyone this room so don't look at me say Oh preacher I'm uncomfortable you need to get uncomfortable we have spent too long being comfortable trying to appease religion trying to appease young people Oh be nice there young people know the devil's not being nice so why should we have if the Devils turning up the heat on our generation than God's people need to turn up the heat if the devil is attacking us guess what we needed to tonight we need to fight back tonight we need to make a decision that we're not gonna run from the call of God God has called you to Nineveh huh I don't know where your Nineveh is I don't know if your Nineveh is your job I don't know if your Nineveh is your family huh I don't know if your Nineveh is your business but I know that the Lord is saying tonight that he's called you to preach to your sphere of influence he's called you to preach to the people on your campus to the people at your job to the people at your work and you need to stop running from what God has called you to and tonight say god I'm going to respond I'm going to Nineveh we all know the story ends everyone stand on their feet tonight we all know that Jonah ends up in the belly of a whale and for the first time and the entire story Jonah cries out to God why do we wait to living in the last days till we cry out to God friend I'm not gonna get up here tell you about the statistics I could give you about the earthquakes about the Hurricanes about the rumors of war am I the only one that doesn't realize every single day another earthquake another hurricane another rumor of war and you know Jesus said he goes these are all signs of the times he goes in the closer these things get their birthing pains their contractions never you're gonna have a baby in you have contractions the closer the contractions get the closer the baby is to coming Jesus and every sign every wonder every earthquake ever hurricane every rumor war it's a contraction and the closer they get the sooner you know that something is about to be birthed in this nation and friend it's sad to say that the American Church is unaware of what is coming upon this nation and if we can't live for God when we're not being persecuted I promise you we will not live for God when we are being persecuted if we cannot stand for God now how will we during persecution is there persecution coming absolutely are we living in the last days Oh preacher buoyed by a we've been saying that for two thousand years wrong do you know Peter says he says scoffers are gonna rise up and say you've been saying that the last days are here you've been saying the world is ending he goes we know what God's been patient for your sake because he wishes nobody shall perish God is giving us an extended amount of time why because he wants you to reach her family him he wants you to reach her neighbors he wants you to preach to nineveh her he wants you is giving you a small amount of time and according to ezekiel chapter 33 if we don't share with our friends our family our neighbors and the people around us then we are gonna stand before God on Judgment Day and their blood is going to be on our hands but the moment we share with them we wash their blood off of our hands and I don't know where you're at tonight but I am NOT going to allow my own compromise my own disobedience my own emotions to stop me from what God has in my life I'm turning my boat around and I'm going to where God wants me you
