message from God a woman that has blessed us for many many years inspired us to soul winning to prayer not only expired us but exampled it she doesn't just talk this talk she walks this walk an anointed woman of God I don't know what sister Mangan under the option of the Holy Ghost has to throw at us this morning but whatever it is don't you Doug sister Mangan we receive you in the name of the Lord whatsoever the Lord saith unto you give it to it he thoroughly Onimusha on the higher-level yasha hiya give this certain woman a certain word open us up father to receive it it's just a little while it's just a little pile to stay here it's just a little why it's just a little puff it's just a little while but after this but after this the judgment but after this the judgment soon this life this little vapor this little hand breath will all be over and our pilgrimage will end soon we'll take our heavenly journey be at home again with our loved ones and friends heaven's gates are standing open waiting for our entrance there some sweet day were going over his eternal joy to share it's just a little while hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah it's just a little while jesus said to his little company of believers a little while and you shall see me no more but then again he said in a little while you'll see me again the Apostle Paul said it like this the time is short the fashion of this whole world passeth away so don't let your dearest and most sacred relationships don't let any joy don't let any pleasure distraction don't let the severus sorrow stun you don't let buying and selling our cares of this life or any business investment possess you it's just a little while it's just a little while to stay here what you therefore and pray always you'll be so glad you did Washington Irving gave the world a classic story of Rip Van Winkle while hunting he drank some brew that put him into a deep 20-year sleep when he awakened his world had changed drastically what if you and I were to go to sleep and not awaken for the next two years what will this old world of ours be like the year 2000 in his book future shock Alvin Toffler gives some sharp insights into our world at the turn of the century except one major thing is omitted from his story and that's the possibility of the rapture of the church but if Jesus Christ should return to catch away his bride sometime in the next two years what are your plans what are your plans for the surest fact of our future is the coming of Jesus Christ as a matter of fact he's coming twice he's coming the first time for his church he's coming the second time with his church to establish his reign on planet Earth and while this whole world is busy setting goals for the new millennium what if just what if a trumpet should stand and the sky would burst wide open in a blaze of glory and our Lord should appear in the clouds to catch away his bride it's just a little while it's just a little while just stay here it's just a little while to wait at least five times then Paul's prison letter to the Philippians alone he said and he didn't qualify it until the day of Jesus Christ he said for our conversation is even in heaven from whence also we look for the Lord Jesus Christ he said I'm doing everything I do down here so that I may rejoice and be glad and his coming he said everybody isn't running some even ran well for a while but something hindered them but he said I don't intend to run in vain life is not a sprint I'm running the full distance I intend to obtain the prize I'm not fighting as one beating the air I'm not shadow boxing I'm fighting a good fight I'm aiming I'm focusing I'm hitting I'm winning I'm finishing right it's just a little while I don't intend to labor in vain I will make a difference in my generation I've just got one time around in this there's no replace for me I'm not even too strong here this morning it's just a little while for me look out devil look out look out devil look out it's just a little while for me how's that I've got my eyes on the prize llama haha I know what's laid up for me at the judgment seat of Christ I'm not going to live my life down here in terms of time it's just a little shadow it's just like a little tail that's told it's just like a little swift passing post a little running a mailman it's like the flight of an eagle my god is at hand Jesus is soon coming it's just a little while it's just a little while shouted with me shout it again say the Lord's at hand but after this the judgment immediately following the rapture you will find yourself at the judgment now at the judgment seat of Christ the Bema you he was your Savior and is now but then he's going to be your judge and immediately John said I want to tell you about it in Revelation 4 verses 2 through 6 I was in the spirit and behold a throne was set in heaven and one sat on that throne he said when I saw him I fell at his feet as his eyes were as a flame of fire his countenance was as the sun shining in the streets his feet like a de brass as if they burned in a furnace and all of his mouth went a sharp two-edged sword and his force was as the sound of many waters and from his face the earth and the heaven fled away and he that sent was to look upon like a Jasper and a sardine stone and there was a rainbow round about the throne in sight like unto an emerald and round about the throne were four and twenty elders and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting clothed in white raiment and they had on their heads crowns of gold and out of the throne proceeded lightnings thunderings and bosses and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne which other seven spirits of God and before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto a crystal and in the midst of the throne around about the throne were the four beasts full of eyes before and behind I will be there you will be there I just described it for you you will be there your name is in that book every New Testament believer will be there to be judged not for sin and condemnation but for our works as born-again Christians and Paul says every man's work every man's work shall be made manifest for the day shall declare it because it shall be revealed by fire and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is if any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon he shall receive a reward if any man's work shall be burned he just of her loss but he himself shall be saved yet as my fire or we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ that every one may receive the things done in his body according to that he hath done whether it be good or whether it be bad he said knowing therefore that day knowing therefore the terror of the Lord when the fire will dramaworks I persuade men I persuade men this is the place my brothers and sisters where our lives as born-again Christians will be given a thorough testing under fire many of our works will be destroyed by the fire of judgment and we shall suffer loss what a phrase suffer loss you know how people weep down here when fire breaks out and their homes and their possessions and their businesses and their lives are destroyed people weep because they suffer loss can you even imagine the weeping that will take place when we stand before the judgment seat of Christ where we shall receive our final rewards and crowns shall be given there are five crowns to be given there will be the martyrs crown the crown of life for endurance there will be the sole winner's crown the crown of rejoicing the crown of happiness and everybody in this room ought to be able to get that crown there will be the crown of righteousness for all those who fight a good fight finish the race keep the faith and love his appearing there will be the victors crown it's an incorruptible crown enduring temptation laying us out every weight and sin that does so easily beset us that you might be a winner rather than an also-ran there will be the crown of glory for every faithful pastor who feeds his flock taking the oversight thereof not by constraint but willingly not for filthy lucre but I've already mined neither's being lords over God's heritage but being in samples to the flock and when the chief Shepherd shall appear he shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away when we realize how much our lives could have been and how many rewards and how many crowns we could have been given but were not because we were so utterly minded we were so content with so much less than what God had for us we will weep we will weep weep weep but tears will not be walked away until after the judgment seat of Christ in Revelation chapter 7 we could have been a 5 kronor but we were not because this whole world was too much about every one of us we were too busy either climbing the ladder of material success or reclining in an easy-chair of home entertainment affluence on materialism stole from us that most precious commodity a desire for God and for souls so much of our lives are wasted wasted our substance wasted our daylight hours on things things which so soon shall pass away while the eat no destiny of souls hangs in the balance when in a better land before the par we stand how deeply grieved our souls there may be if any lost ones there should cry out in deep despair you never mentioned Jesus to me can you even imagine how we will weep standing there with the redeemed of all ages standing there with those who've left all contrary possessions family friends standing there with those who refuse riches treasures of this world pleasures of sin for a season esteeming the reproach of Christ far greater value choosing rather to suffer affliction and others at trial of cruel mockings scourgings bonds and imprisonments were stoned sown asunder tempted slain with the sword wondered about in sheepskin ingo skin being destitute afflicted tormented of whom this world was not worthy they wandered in deserts and in mountains and in dens and in caves of the earth that we stand with there there we stand with feminists just a little while before you stand there and there we stand with those who 2000 years ago at the beginning of the church age turned this world upside down they lit a lot of this glorious gospel in every corner of the mighty Roman Empire there are we stand with his chosen disciples all were martyred except John and he was banished to Patmos to starve to death but God gave him the revelation one was crucified on an a-shaped cross in Greece one was executed James upon his refusal to publicly renounce Jesus Christ in his gospel was was thrown from the pinnacle of the temple and they stoned him to death she lay there dying from the fall another one's body was cut into pieces Peter was crucified upside down Philip was hanged Thomas died by spear thrush through him they were born in oil they were beaten with a cat of nine tails they were cut to pieces by gladiators torn from limb from limb a wild beast so many of them were crucified along the judean road of the Galilee Road Josephus said it looked like a forest of crosses they were drug through the streets fed to hungry lions used as human torches for sport burned at the stake all because they loved Jesus Christ and souls tell me will you weep or will you rejoice Jesus said there will be some shocking revisions at the judgement seat of Christ many that are first are gonna be last and many that are last shall be first it's just a little while it's just a little while to play and fast it's just a little while to win souls and snatch them out of Hellfire it's just a little while to go to church and support that church with everything you've got and support missions it's just a little while it's just a little while to serve others it's just a little while the time is short Judgment Day is drawing nigh all said that's my motivation for the beaten are stoned whether in jail or out of jail I am I am going to win souls whether I'm hungry or cold I've got one on this lost world and I've got the other one on the judgment seat of Christ I'm going to do everything that I do so that I may rejoice and be glad at his coming for it's just a little while shout that with me but after this but after this stand up your big tall man and let that fool out of you that I just stopped blowing do it out loud shout it out shout it louder somebody out gonna jump up and shout it's just a little while yes sir and while this world is busy setting goals for the new millennium what are your plans what are your plans one group is planning to blitz this whole nation and Canada and put their Christian literature in every individual's hand in America and in Canada what's your plans it's just a little while you don't have long to make up your mind sir ma'am what we're hearing you better hurry and do something about it it's just a little while shout that with me again say it again they disturb me shake me out of my comfort zone so I can reach my generation get my plans together get my mighty men and women together and turn my city upside down it's just a little wrong Jesus said if you want to be happy and eternity you'd better put your money your time your energy and your talents to work winning souls for my kingdom is not of this world now can't you get that in your head my kingdom is not of this world my kingdoms value system clashes with this world's value system this was value system is money money money money but my kingdoms value system is Souls Souls Souls Souls this world's value system is profit driven by greed and the success obsession but Jesus Christ violated every tenant of this world system in his bloody death don't forget it it's still the cross the highest came to serve the lowest the creator and sustainer of all things came to pour himself out even unto death the one who possessed everything became nothing it's the crashing of two sets of values Jesus said in my kingdom if you want to save your life then you've got to lose it if you want to be lifted up and exhausted then you've got to humble yourself if you want to be the greatest then become a servant and be like the youngest and if you want to be first be last and a slave to all if you want to live put to death the deeds of your body if you want to be strong boast about your weakness if you won't inherit the kingdom of heaven become poor in the spirit for what is a man profited I wish some man would stand up and quote that for me and let me save my strength for what is a man profited can anybody in this room I want everybody to stand for what is a man profited if he shall gain the whole world and lose its own soul or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul If any man will come after me let him deny himself something we don't know too much about and take up his cross and follow me because no man can serve two masters you'll either hate one and love the other or love one and hate the other you can't serve two masters you can't serve God and Mammon you cannot employ two sets of values chopped that may you cannot employ two sets of values and you love what you value and our values determined who we are what we do and how we do it because of the times 19 and 98 we've got to hurry up and decide which value system we're going to live by that's what it's all about folks you can just care anything you wanna hear you gotta make up your mind what value system you're gonna live by come on in everybody clap and everybody shout I'm talking about this world value system versus the value system of Jesus Christ get it young man in a changing culture dominated by greed a civilization gone rotten wallowing in relativism we're challenged every day by this world's value system instead of spending our time energy money and talents on the values that Jesus says has great worth if we're not careful we will buy into this world's values and lose our own soul lose our family lose our all say it happening many who ran well for wrong many have turned to walk no more this world's value system got a hold of them it shut a little why don't get shook don't even let a question get in your mind it's just a little while come on come on go ahead and clap your hands that's it there's not a question about it it's settled his way is right his booth is right his law his example I'm going with him I'm going all the way with him this world not my home this world's not my home I'm just passing through goodbye I'm soon out of here I'm scooting out of here my dance my mother rapture and it motivates me it keeps me right I got my eyes on the judgment seat that's how the church in the first century turn to their world upside down they lived out his values it changed the Roman Empire and brought that mighty mistress to her knees I don't like it I don't like it I don't like him I don't like us getting all involved and tangled up in so much I don't like it we've been called to the building of his kingdom did you hear me did you hear me did you really hear me forgetting the cause of the times you've been called into the building of his kingdom and reaching the lost with the only gospel that can save souls from hell that's what we preach and worse than compromising that is to not let somebody else have it and hear a matter they know about if that's what we're here for then why don't we do it why don't we do it come on somebody and shout why don't we do it oh no it's still too much about us I'm sorry didn't getting the hold of it I don't care if you don't shout in Harlem I'm 72 years old I couldn't give a care this man Barrett here's why he won't be too far behind her it's just a little while it better motivate him that he can walk through the gates of that city stand with her at the judgement seat of Christ why don't we do it shout it man I'm not a strength we cannot live with this world's value system and do it we've got to have one consuming passion single eyed single purpose one plan one goal one ambition got your mind made up nobody's gonna turn it I don't care what they say or do ain't no need getting it me I wouldn't stop to pay you any attention I don't care I'm not your number so to snatch out of hell I don't care going into difficult places I'm not gonna let this don't Pat it out rip me I'm not gonna be a little traditional getting the Holy Ghost at six and bragging about it and let a dupe at it come in here and out pulling me they stood up here last night not gonna do it no I'm not gonna do it no I'm not going to well say I got to think it I got to eat it I got to sleep it I got to see it I got to dream it I got to work for it they got to play for it I got the plan for it and then I got to go for it there's not a single one of us you better never stop what you're doing there's not a single one of us who can sit back and feel satisfied not even you if the Apostle Paul who covered Asia in two and a half years weeping day and night in their streets could say brethren I'm not satisfied I count not myself to have apprehended that that apprehended me it's not the victories I've already gained its the victories that remain it's just a little while it's just a little while and you're out of here sir and you're gonna stand before the fiery eyes and your works are going to be tried everything about your church is going to be tried everything you handled everything if we're content when our church supports five or six missionaries will never support anymore you are a shout I'm not content with the way I'm doing it I'm gonna be judged if they went over there and sat down and didn't do nothing I'd give my money to keep from leaving America everybody in here should have clapping you want to go we'll raise some money announced engine young men you better get your mind made up it it cost it cost it's not a because of the time from here to there it cost sharpest with miss that's not what we have done that is crucial we've got to focus on the work that still needs to be done the revival church is always on the hot trail of souls why stop well I'll be content if there's one lost sheep go get it if there's not a full house filling up if there's an empty banquet table doing bottom how many of the lost have you won how many of you lifted how many of the chain to have you set free how many of the hungry have you fed how many of the naked have you closed how many of the stick have you visited and to those in prison have you preached to what extent have you interceded in prayer for souls have you exhausted all effort to reach them God pity him who lives for self when the master he shall see and Jesus says as you've done it unto them you've done it unto me for 60 years Daniel served for a powerful heathen kings he had seen all the pomp and glory and riches and grandeur of Babylon great it never fazed him he closes his awesome prophetic book saying they that be wise just shine as the brightness of the firmament and they that turn many to righteousness shall shine as the Stars forever and forever when every last star shall have fallen from its orbit they who win souls shall shine forever and forever everybody shout it the fruit of the righteous is a tree of life and he that winneth Souls is wise just say that last cause he that winneth brother Chinni that'll be the great day you great men of God that'll be the great day you'll be so glad you broke with tradition when you could have climbed that ladder of success in that traditional world but you chose this route and you've submitted and you've humbled and you've walked and held on to truth that'll be the great day you'll be so brave you'll be so glad folks you'll be so glad you gave it all up and you didn't hear any other voices everybody shout yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes come on and shout it don't stop here for a few minutes I'm gonna get out of the way ezekiel chapter 9 the Lord called to the man with the inkhorn go through the midst of the city through the midst of Jerusalem mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and they cry for all the abominations done in the midst there obviously orderly everybody I said don't cry and sigh and weep and travail and wince old but come not near any man upon whom is the mark and begin at my sanctuary that's where everything begins that's where judgment begins that's where it all begins beginning at my sanctuary drop your hands again mosfilm that have desire marked them that have fervency opportunity perseverance compassion who will prevail and intercede and agonize and weep for lost souls oh god oh we should pour out a spirit of supplication and an intercession upon this people what would happen here if a real spirit of intercession were to hit us just about through I've got to get out of the way Nehemiah said when I heard the awful apostasy of God's people they were passed all caring and hope he said i sat down and wept it is weeping time Anthony there needs to be more weeping in this church Paul said I preached with tears I wrote my letters with tears I prayed with tears I witnessed with tears but my big prayer my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they might all be saved I'll be accursed if I could Nehemiah said when I heard of that awful apostasy I couldn't take it it consumed me I became desperate I mourn I fasted I wept oh god that's what makes the heart of great men and women beat that's what makes them what they are he seek you said you know when all the people have been killed I was left I was spared because I had a burden for souls I was left because I wept I prevailed I interceded I preached on when I buried my wife I just went on a preaching if everybody in this room today were killed who did not weep and win souls for Jesus Christ would you be alive would you be spared how many of you would be spared if the man was the inkhorn walked down every one of these eyes I know why I'm alive and I know why I've been spared I'm alive to play and win so in my 30s they said I was dying with cancer I chopped up everyone a brother man notes I knew that that's all that would last he had bury his workmen but his work would go on I went to Anthony's bed and I put my hands on it and I well till my sides were sore and I said God if you're gonna take me poor everything I wanna do into this boy and give him my bird and give him my desire and give him my love and give him my ambitions because I just want to live to play I just want to live to Winstone's so God spared me I'm allowed to pray and win souls and back him up even if he does call me down I've been scared a little bit lately I get hands laid on me I don't think I love souls like I used to Claire Clark and I went all over this city with some more we'd go to places where that's how kill you if you come back you're breaking up my home my wife wants to go that way and I'd say Claire I'm scared to go in there she said I'm not I'm going in there she'd go in there and I'd say Claire you better be careful she'd go down and look under the beds to see if there's hiding she looked in the closets I said Claire I was going the highways and byways but I ain't going under the bed I haven't played all the prayers I want to pray yet I haven't won all the souls I want to win yet these shoulders haven't talked buckets full of tears and moms and dads and weeping over way with children and lost husbands and wives weeping on my shoulder I want them to weep on my shoulder some more these shoulders haven't caught enough tears I want to catch some more I haven't yet enough tears yet I'm gonna shed some more I don't really have enough compassion like I used to have and compassion is that something stirring inside of you that says I've got to do something about this I've got to touch God for these people I've got to touch these people for God and touch done for these people that's compassion compassion does something to relieve a person's problems or pains compassion cries out to God on behalf of others compassion drives us to intercession compassion gets involved compassion Labor's and sweats compassion gets dirty compassion is equated with grief there's the sorrows suffers the agonist and is touched for the feelings of others infirmities compassion cares enough to invest money precious hours in intercession before God for the hurting the needy and even the rebellious and Jesus had compassion on them he modeled it if that's what we're here for why don't we do it if that's why I've been spared I'd better do it that's what I'm here for is to weep and a cry and despair souls that ought to be what you get up for every morning is to weep for souls you're not here only to make a living that's what you make a living for that's what we're living for so we for our children weep our lost loved ones we bar leaders national spiritual political can you imagine your child burning inhale begging for a drop of water can you imagine your mother that brought you into this world can you and her burning inhale and begging for a drop of water can you imagine your father who made you a good living and spared you can you picture him inhale can you imagine anybody burning in the lake of fire forever begging for one drop of water there will be no revival until we weep with burdened broken hearts over lost souls we need to read again sinners in the hands of angry God we need to read this little booklet again when the man's eyes were so bad that he had to hold it like this to read his notes and people clung on to the pews so they wouldn't fall into hell we need some more preaching on hell folks we need somebody to get stirred up about the people going to hell I wanted to talk a little more about about my times over with but you better get a hold of something that will star you about Hell there will never be a revival until we love people and Souls the way Jesus loved him he never told anybody I love you I really love you I care about you he never told anybody that he just proved it he was a loving God in a painful world in human shoes stooping serving reaching loving having compassion and you called yourself a Christian his whole life and all of his acts were attitudes and acts of love even unto death and until we love with God kind of love love of a different kind reaching as that kiss and going home with him no matter what people thought a woman of ill repute at Jacobs well while the disciples were in town eating a hamburger touching a leper kneeling him casting Seven Devils out of a woman telling her to run on eating with publicans and sinners we've not really worshiped until we love with that kind of God kind of love for the reality of our response to God and worship is tested by our response to human need in the streets and when we discover God kind of love and Garet then we have truly worshipped and only a few ever come to see this that's the reason Jesus said that the way to eternal life is uncrowded and the gates to eternal life is narrow it's just a little while but after this the judgment but that's the great day you'll be so glad you prayed without ceasing that's the great day you'll be glad you went with a burden heart of a loss sold and snatched them one by one there are many things I will do in heaven I'll sing in heaven and I'll be happy I'll worship in heaven I'll serve in heaven but there's one thing I'll not be able to do in heaven I cannot reach the lost I cannot snatch them out of hell it's already fixed it'll be too late it's just a little while but after this the judgment I want to pray it's a prayer I've already prayed you can bow your heads or you can look right straight here at me because I don't mind telling you I've already prayed this prayer Lord we confess our neglect of the thing we need the most is the thing we've done the least we confess most of us have been so busy that our hearts have been weighed down with dissipation drunkenness and the anxieties of life Lord wrong ideas and failures have cut us off from you we've been greedy hiding behind barricades of selfishness shackles have imprisoned the great purpose of your church we've tried to isolate ourselves from the bleeding wounds of a blundering world and in our self-sufficiency we have not sought thy face we've held conferences and services and ignored completely we have fretted away our time and opportunities while the world bled our ambitions have blinded us to opportunities we've bickered and sought to solve our differences only with self-interest make us warned make us one for we've forgotten your soon to come and out to this the judgment thank you Oh Lord God of heaven and earth for snatching us from the snare uniting us to watch him play with fastings often before it's too late thank you for w NOP that's trying to unite us around the world we humble ourselves before your throne a brace and ask you to forgive us for lack of prayer is anybody ready to cry out yet I'll keep praying until you do and for our failure to lead your people in concerted for but unceasing prayer that our homes and our churches become houses of prayer let your people cover your name rise up with the stubborn tenacity that you had in the days of your flesh that the early church walked in and be what you've called us to be calls us to cast off everything that will oppose your spirit move us into a realm that pays a price and lay hold of the kingdom of God baptize us refill us with the Holy Ghost and fire and a new implantation of the spirit of grace and supplication Oh Lord we humble ourselves before it's too late for your soon coming but after this the judgment the world's intercessory prayer
