Let's Talk About Heaven | Pastor John Gray

the word worship means to lay prostrate I know that we have some people that are visitors please don't mind us God is doing something I asked God to do something I'd never seen the word worship means to lay prostrate if you can bow the knee please do so [Music] for those who are watching online if you're at home and you're in a place where you can bow your knee please do so if you are watching and you have the ability to safely bow your knee please do so now our knee and our face to the ground saying you are holy you are the Living God there is no one like you all creation must answer to you holy holy holy is your name [Music] [Music] [Applause] for those who are a part of our online family it was told to me by experts that in moments like this people log off well this is what we're here for to lift up the name of Jesus and if by chance that means that people decide to do something else that is their right but we're going to take a moment and we're going to honor the presence of the Living God father I thank you for the hearts of the people that are here we bow our knee to you bowing the knee is not only a physical manifestation it is an outward expression of bowing the knee on the inside saying that our will but your will be done so those who cannot physically bow I pray that they have a posture of humility in their heart and that you would receive it and I pray God in this moment that you would receive the prayers the expressions from those who are loud and demonstrative to those who are quiet and less verbally vocally expressive it's all the same to you because you are the one who discerns the motive of the heart so receive the worship of your people and we're standing here only because you made away you may way I don't know how but you did it may don't know how but you did Michael all I ever wanted was for God to get the glory that's all I ever wanted it's all I want I don't want to be well-known I don't want to be popular I'm already I don't want anything other than God's glory and I pray that he gets glory here so I pray in this moment for the release of captives the recovery of sight to the blind the opening of deaf ears [Music] deliverance from debt freedom from every type of bondage and addiction if you are here and you have the root of your addiction if there's something that's been holding you hostage and you want to let it go bring it to the altar if there's a representation of the thing that's been holding you hostage bring it to the altar camera operators do not focus on anybody that would come to this altar keep the cameras either on me or on general shots but if there's someone in here who says I don't want to leave with this thing on me I don't want to leave with that stuff on me I don't want to leave with that spirit on me if that's you get to the altar praise God someone just threw something onto the platform I don't care what it is you can throw it up here I don't care what you're dealing with I don't care what you walked in with but I'm telling you there's something that God is saying he says let it go get rid of it now trust his power what you cannot do on your own God can do right now [Music] don't be a shame there is no shame here [Music] if there's something you need to release if you have a physical representation of it throw it up here I don't care who you are I don't care what it is if it's an addiction if it's a I don't know but you know [Music] for those who are not familiar with this type of expression in church please be patient cuz one day it might be your turn and when it is will be patient to allow you to work it out with God I [Music] don't believe that this box is the only thing that's supposed to be on this altar if you were bold enough to bring it to church be bold enough to throw it up here hallelujah there's some people that have been playing with witchcraft in here you've been tormented by spirits who are you cuz the holy ghost just told me to cast that thing out who is that who's been playing with that stuff you've been dabbling in the occult Ouija boards and all that kind of stuff [Music] who's voted up to say that was me pray for me pastor wave real big if that's you you've been tormented by something unseen [Music] I knew I heard from the Holy Ghost I see that hand I believe there there are others you've been tormented by something you can't see you felt like you opened the door I declare that door is now shut and that enemy is expelled in the name of Jesus and may the peace of God guard your heart and your mind in the name of Jesus always making away always making away I need some elders with some anointing oil [Music] don't don't look at me get to her [Music] there's some other people that need to move I know what kind of lighter that is and the taste of it will leave your soul in the name of Jesus [Music] the illegal relationship ends today you are free you are free from the belief that you can't get free and you're free and you're free from that thing being held over your head you are not a hostage to the devil when the Sun sets free is free indeed [Applause] [Music] I don't care what he said or what she said you are free and don't you go back [Music] pastor Kenny and bam bring it down real quick I need to say something and I want everybody to hear me many of you have come to church for different reasons and this is not one of them but in the New Testament when Jesus was on the scene often times he would cast Devils out he would pray for sick people okay he would declare and establish the kingdom and this is one such moment is that all right if it isn't it doesn't matter because I wasn't asking permission I was just letting you know that that is the purpose of the church is for the real power of God to show up because he's always made hanaway [Applause] pastor Todd how can there be an encounter if there's no presence you can't manifest it on Friday it needs to be here today [Music] I also declared into your warfare oh [Music] there's been so many you can't sleep for the warfare I declare and into the warfare that has kept you from living in perfect peace which is the promise of your heavenly Father through the finished work of Jesus Christ I also pray for those who are here who are skeptics may your brilliant mind give way to the cry of your spirit and may the tears that begin to flow be the watershed moment that changes you from an academic to a spirit-filled believer maybe empirical evidence of the holy ghost overtake your natural mind and may you make a decision in line with what your spirit is saying follow the peace of God because he's always main King away I'm gonna say this one last time if there's anyone in here with anything that is a representation of something that is held you hostage get it on this altar man I will give you exactly 30 seconds there is no shame no one's watching and I and I declare no one will ask you about it after church don't bring it up it's not your business 20 19 18 [Music] four three two [Music] father seal this moment and I have authority in here to say that every specific individual requests me for everyone at this altar and around this church and around the world I want to hear the report of your great power in the lives of your people and it is so and it is so and it is so in Jesus name Amen [Music] so and we'll give you exactly 45 seconds to lift up a hand a sound to God I'm gonna share for about 20 minutes but if you believe that God has just met us in the smoke [Applause] [Music] if you want to stay at the altar you can if you want to stay at the altar you can if you want to come to the altar at any point over the next few moments to feel free if there's anybody that's offended you if there's anyone you need to get it right with work on it right now today even if you can't get to the person talk to the Lord about it in your heart and don't lie cuz he already knows who you have a problem with but life is too short hear me real clear life is too short to hold on to anything that's not God don't let people keep you from the will of God did you hear what I said oh god help me father let your people receive this word and let it bless that it bless your people [Music] may this forever mark our church the next 20 minutes and for visitors let it mark their hearts that even if they go back to their home church let them never again treat Sunday casually because one day there'll be no more Sundays and on that day I will see your face but one day when there are no more Sundays [Music] I will worship you face-to-face one day there'll be no more Sundays and on that day I will see your face and dark that day when there are more no more Sundays I will worship you face to face I will see you as you are [Music] for you know me as I am so the day I lift my hands for you are the great iron Oh one day there'll be no more Sundays but until that day I will seek your face [Music] then one day when there are no more Sundays I'll worship you face to face [Music] [Music] [Music] keep the cameras on me don't focus on the alter someone just came and said please pray for my grandchild my grandchild was sexually abused the baby is three years old I was four when that Devil came to my front yard they tried to steal my my identity my piece and I'm not the only one in here who's been sexually abused is there anyone else who's bold enough to say it happened to you [Music] [Applause] stretch your hands to this baby at Mesa [Music] [Applause] [Music] god [Music] cuff that baby help that baby I know that devil [Music] if you've ever been sexually abused and you're watching online I want you to know that God is healing the root [Music] [Applause] and what it produced in your life is leaving your life right now [Music] [Applause] listen to me not only is there freedom for those who have been under the condemnation that it was your fault or you somehow attracted it or you chose the abuse not only are you getting free but people around you are getting free from other things that have nothing to do simply because you were bold enough to save me to God I pray for this baby and we keep the baby covered hear me we're not showing the baby we keep this baby covered but I declare whatever predator abuse that baby God you get them before we do [Music] bring them to justice put them under the jail and don't let them get out now if they come to you and repent and ask you for forgiveness and they're sincere that's on you but they still need to go to jail and I don't care if you say Amen i bind every predatorial demon every molesting spirit every wicked and worthless man and woman every nasty uncle drunk cousin every wayward auntie every every demon and devil that tries to steal the innocence of children devil we bind you in the name of Jesus and from 1977 when I was abused all the way to today I declared Liberty for every captain and anybody that was abused before I was born I declare Liberty for the captain in the name of Jesus I pray that you cover this baby's mind that they don't even remember that their identity will never be compromised no disease and no spirit can stay with them I declared no residue is there anybody that would believe with me like it was your child we were praying for [Applause] [Music] God let him cause to forget in the name of Jesus amen listen to me I need the sound the next sound that comes out of your mouth to be a sound of warfare victory and I need this place to shake as if your child just got free from a molested [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] I declare the season of manasseh over you the name Manasa means cause to forget I listen God's gonna cause you to forget now there's only one way he can do that cuz he's not in the brainwashing it just means he has to overtake you with something so unbelievable that you won't even remember what you came out of I declare Manasseh Manasseh blessing coming to your house a Manasseh miracle coming to your mind a Manasseh [Applause] turn the cameras another way I want to hug this baby [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] anybody got anything left anybody have anything left anything anybody got anything left for Jesus [Applause] [Music] you can be seated you can be seated you can be seated are y'all all right I'm not I'm wrecked I'm wrecked I ask God to do something today he had never done and he did it I need to step my expectation oh I'm declaring a season of boulders to come for each one of you a season of boldness like never before that you are able to speak the Word of God and speak truth to power and speak to to everything that has tried to hold you hostage face to face did you hear what I said I'm praying I pray that you will have a spirit of discernment that you can even love the people who have no good intended for you because at the end they can't take anything from you and they can do nothing to you so I need you to speak life to those family members that you know speak life life is short it is appointed unto man to die once and then after that the judgment everybody gets nervous when they hear the word judgment but all judgment means is justice everybody say justice righteousness and justice are hallmarks of God's personality everybody say justice justice means what is right what is righteous unfortunately in an age of live your truth justice doesn't always translate because people think they can live how they want and their way is right there is one that is right let God be true and every man be a liar I have been arrested in my spirit over the past month and a half or so with the sudden passing of multiple people that were close to me I've shared a little bit about it there's no need to rehash but it just seems that there's a sudden influx of unexpected transitions one of my friends who is a musician I toured with him back in 1998 with his group DC Talk his name is Toby Mack he his son passed a couple days ago at home another man of God who I've known for many years a gospel artist named Micah Stampley his daughter transitions suddenly at 15 years old I lost some family members my wife lost an uncle two days ago another one another uncle's heart stopped the same day as the one who transitioned and it seems that these unexpected transitions are all around us and I'm asking the Lord what are you saying to the church because Jesus often spoke and then he said he who has an ear let him hear what the Spirit is saying to the church we know that judgment begins at the house of God first everybody thinks judgment again means something negative it doesn't because if you've done nothing wrong then you don't have to worry about judgment and then you're saying well pastor you don't know my life well you don't know mine either but the reality is we're not being judged for our sin well where you going with this pastor because the whole economy of the church which is a business is contingent upon people giving out of guilt do you know the number of people who give online has increased literally a hundredfold year over year and in the studies that were done the reason that people gave primarily was out of guilt for not being in the physical building guilt as a motivating factor to give has never been God's heart guilt as a reason to change your life has never been a motivating factor in salvation in fact the Bible makes clear it was with loving-kindness that God drew us to him and more over than that the love of God and the love of Christ compels us draws us into a relationship with him if God wanted to remind you of if he wanted to guilt trip you into relationship that's akin to manipulation and God is God he does not need to manipulate anything whatever he says that's what it is we're talking of an eternal God who said in Genesis let there be light but didn't create the Sun and Moon and stars for three more days so what light was he speaking of and from the moment he spoke it he's still speaking it today this is the power of the creative God that when he said let there be light that word still is running in every direction how do I know the the scientists say the universe is still expanding it's expanding at the speed of his word and how do we measure things in space at the speed of I'm just giving you a revelation that the god you serve is still in control don't assume that God being silent about certain things means he's not in control please don't believe that your congressmen and women your senators and presidents and miscellaneous Supreme Court justices have the final say this whole earth belongs to God and it all must answer to him every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess on those in heaven and those on earth and those under the earth and as I find myself in this conundrum dealing with the reality that this body is not made for eternity it is a temporary tent it is a housing for my purpose but it is not the sum total of my being each thing to its own Eldar earth to earth ashes to ashes dust to dust we come in this body to the ground why because from dust I came into dust I shall return Oh speaking of the substance of my physical man because I was not dust from the beginning exclusively in fact I was dust in the ground and then God breathed into my nostrils the breath of life and I became a living being so I am dust and spirit I am flesh and spirit and the tension of these two realities is the life that I live on one hand I want to serve God on the other hand I want to punch you in your face when you offend me on one hand I want to pray and speak in tongues on the other hand how cus you smooth out if you catch me on the wrong day on one hand I want to pray on the other hand I want to worry on one hand I have faith on the other hand I'm looking at the situation with my natural eyes and saying I don't know how you're gonna get me out of this nobody want to talk about the tension that exists in the lives of every human being you didn't come to church because you have it all together you came in here because you still have questions God do you really want to use me God do you really love me God if you love me how can you still use me after you saw what I did last week last month last night there is a tension in my soul and the older I get the less frivolous things matter I don't care if you don't like me anymore I can't be moved by these petty things patti labelle i can't be petty Murphy I can't I don't have time for that I gotta get my soul right because one day soon I won't have to face God and I gotta talk to him about holding a grudge against you when I should have been serving him [Applause] [Music] I don't have time to whisper and backbite and plot try to stop what God is doing in your life if I am out of place he's gonna deal with me people are dying and so why in the world would I be wasting time doing silly stuff that doesn't matter that doesn't lead me toward eternity I have one life listen to me really carefully freewill is a beautiful thing if you steward it properly if you are in any situation in your life that you are not completely at peace then make a move if you're single and you don't feel peace about that relationship cut it off today you don't owe them one red cent you don't owe them anything if you not married walk away nobody's gonna clap but many of us realize that we were held hostage to unexpected expectation and we stayed longer than we should have and gave more than we should have and whom the Sun sets free is free indeed so if there's anything in your life attempting to hold you hostage lovingly say thank you this season is over life is short and then you don't have to face God my first question is if you were to leave this earth in 8 minutes and 34 seconds would you be ready to see Jesus face to face a smattering of applause because some are wondering if it's a trick question it's not a trick question I think it's more an indictment on the contemporary expression of church that more people didn't stand up and say I know show enough show enough that I'm saved and filled with the Holy Spirit and that my soul is in right standing with God they are grown folk that gets saved every week go to the same altar because they struggling with the same sin and you think sin is the thing that gets you sent to hell no not accepting Jesus Christ as your Savior rejecting the Holy Spirit's finished work that's what gets you sent to hell but God has made it so easy to get to heaven and made it so hard to get to hell but there are some people in certain religious circles and denominations that make it hard to get to heaven and easy to get to hell if you have a bad thought you going to hell if you sin one more time you going to hell oh you got drunk you going to hell and they telling you you're going to hell but they got liquor under a cabinet you're going to hell they got a family on the other side of town they got all kinds of hell for you but they got grace for themselves yeah I'm a preacher one day this body will give way to eternity I am going to see Jesus and I can't see him in this body help me God first Corinthians 15 verse 50 says this now this I say brethren that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God freeze right there if you want your reward you you are struggling because if you want it now you can't get it now you will always be frustrated if you want the totality of heaven in the in the in the brokenness of the earth this earth is temporary and it says nor does corruption inherit incorruption behold I tell you a mystery we shall not all sleep but we shall all be changed in a moment in the twinkling of an eye at the last trumpet for the trumpet will sound and the dead in Christ will be raised incorruptible and we shall be changed for this corruptible must put on incorruption and this mortal must put on immortality so when this corruptible must put on incorruption and this mortal has put on immortality then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written death is swallowed up in victory o death where is your sting o Hades where is your victory the sting of death is sin and the strength of sin is the law but thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ I wish I had a church that would bless him right there we shall not all sleep elder but we will all be changed I'm leaving here I don't know when but I'm leaving here and so I got four words and that's the title let's talk about Heather everybody say let's talk about heaven first of all heaven is a real place it is a literal place it is an actual place it is beyond this reality there is a different dimension there is a reality that we cannot see with our eyes but Jesus gives us a glimpse into God's heart for bringing heaven into the earth when the disciples said to Jesus Lord teach us how to pray the way John taught his disciples Jesus said when you pray pray in this manner what he was saying is you don't have to say these exact words but the principles the value the foundational tenants need to be a part of your prayer life our Father hallowed be thy name holy set apart reverenced I'm gonna stay right there holy set apart reverenced we have lost the reverence for God's name we fall asleep in church but we're awake for the Clemson game we treat this like something to check off our calendar and this is the Living God we're talking about our Father hallowed be thy name thy kingdom come thy will be done here's where many of us mess up we say on earth but if you read the King James and they in earth as it is in heaven well what's the difference it's just one letter it changes everything cuz on earth the surface in earth and then what earth is he talking about he's not talking about grass we were created from the dust of the ground your kingdom come in me as it is it which means please learn help me preach it like I'm supposed to where there is no resistance in us to the will of God heaven is established your kingdom come in earth as it is in heaven that means there's no resistance to what you want me to do whatever you say I'm doing that that's when the kingdom of heaven comes here's how we know I can ask you where is heaven and you can't tell me where it is you can tell me who is in heaven we know God dwells in heaven it is the habitation of the Living God holy angels we know the cherubim and the Seraphim are there we know Michael is there we know Gabriel stands in the presence of God it didn't say he sees him because no one has seen God at any time jesus said that no one except the son but but but here's what's powerful about the kingdom the kingdom of God is where everything he says happens when he says it and the reason why we know this is because one person tried to disobey his name was Lucifer the son of the morning and he said I'm gonna be like God I'm so amazing because of my gift and all of these people are impressed with my gift I'm gonna make myself like God I'm gonna ascend to the highest point God was like um you gotta go right now and the Bible says he was cast out now I know that y'all talked about where there was a war in heaven please please please quit playing okay tell somebody don't play yourself heaven was never under any threat how do we know because Jesus said I saw Satan fall like lightning how fast as lightning strike you can't even measure how fast so as soon as the rebellion was detected in him God says you gone before he could finish his thought he was already in the earth and what happened after that everything went back to normal where everything God said and everything that God wants happens without any interference any obstruction and there is nobody there who is attempting to resist God God says I want my kingdom to come into the earth that means you speak to things that are resisting God's will and it moves out the way I'm trying to help somebody in here you don't negotiate with Devils you don't have unnecessary conversations with Devils you tell Devils what to do and where to go Jesus said getting them pigs and go down the hill come out of that come out of that man come out of that little boy I'm trying to help 16 people in here and 45 people on line stop asking the devil and start telling the devil what to do I need an 18-second praise bring [Music] you got 11 seconds there's a tension in my soul because there's a reality beyond my physical sightlines I'm getting ready I'm gonna see Jesus one day heaven is a real place we are citizens of an eternal Kingdom so I got some questions what happens when I die will I be reunited with my loved ones the Bible says therefore since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses let us run it's a marathon not a sprint you know that it's a marathon not a sprint you know that at the end of the marathon had anybody ever watched these Boston Marathon or New York Marathon the closer they get to the finish line what's happening on the sidelines they're cheering the closer you get to completing your work you can almost hear the echo of the sound will help me of your grandmother your auntie your sister your brother your uncles see there's some folk that I'm counting on seeing at the finish line when I get there is there anybody that's got some folk in mind that you want to see again I wish I had a church in here I'm not gonna be long I got a couple pictures show show show picture I think I got one of my grandmother let me see if it'll come up pop this photo up that's my grandmother that's my father's mother she was 90 91 when she left up out of here still living at home and one day she was in the kitchen cooking like she always did no microwave in her house everything was homemade one day just fell went in she had a bump on her head she had went to see Jesus just like that ninety-one but one day I'm gonna see her again oh I'm trying to keep it together show me the picture of me as a baby with my family behind me I think I got my uncle Billy in one of those pictures that's me as a baby that's June 26 1973 I need you to know from that day I was born at 10:08 a.m. on June 26 God had a plan that included everything I've done good or bad he knew it would happen to get me to 46 years old and however many years I got left and I'm gonna serve him from that baby to this man to the old man that I'll be and every single day is dedicated to him and one day this old body is gonna stay here but my spirit is going back home where I came from I'm asking is anybody ready to talk about heaven show me another picture that looks just like my son this is crazy teeth and all he gonna need braces to pray for him he got it honest I put this up because I was graduating from first grade or kindergarten der Garde that's kindergarten I was graduating from kindergarten and I got a cap and gown now I don't know what I did to graduate from kindergarten I must have mastered my colors in the ABCs why am i showing you this because some of you are saying well I'm a babe in Christ and I don't even know if I have what it takes I need you to know that God has already conferred on you a cap and a gal there is a rope of righteousness that you have been given because of your confession in Jesus Christ and you build a crown of righteousness with which the righteous judge shall give and not only to me but all those who love his appearing that's what Paul said is there anybody that's ready for your cap and gown how many people know you already have your cap and girl some of you are saying I don't want to clap cuz are you saying am I ready to die no this is not Biggie Smalls it's not ready to die what I'm saying is are you ready for the reality of heaven and the fact that heaven is not only when you die if you live your life's right you'll catch glimpses of heaven in the earth I wish I had 75 people in that balcony and 130 inside of them cameras I think I got one more photo show that other photo that's my mother and father on their wedding day that's my dad and I prayed with him while he was in a coma I was led because the doctor said he could hear me and I prayed I said dad if you don't pray this prayer I ain't gonna see you again I won't see you again but if you can hear me you still have a chance that's a man that struggled with drug addiction he struggled with so many things and y'all want to hear more but it's not show business you got stuff y'all your family got to you got to be careful who you tell your broken stuff to cuz some folk will weaponize your brokenness and wait to use it later be careful who you tell your stuff to cuz everybody doesn't care about your deliverance they just like to know you struggling show my father again how can I Harbor bitterness and unforgiveness show my dad again how can I Harbor bitterness and unforgiveness towards him cuz he wasn't there I don't know what Devils were attacking him I know only a few of them but I know this he made one right decision he married the right woman she gave him this son and and and on the day of his death before he could get out of here the Heavenly Father said the one thing you did right is coming to get you right with me I prayed the prayer of salvation with my father and by the time I got on the train and went back over to New Jersey where I live by the time I got cell service again my mother called and said your dad died God kept him alive long enough for me to pray with him and also while I was there I forgave him for not being there in my life so I didn't leave with any regrets I don't know in my spirit I'm gonna see my grandmother again I'm gonna see my daddy again I'm gonna see my mama's mama again they're a part of the great cloud of witnesses Pastor John why are you talking about death because death is nothing to fear for a believer and I need you to get that out of your spirit stop listening to scary movies and bad theology stop wondering if you saved or not salvation is a confession of your mouth [Applause] [Music] no matter how hard I try I can't get comfortable here I ain't talking about Greenville I'm talking about in the earth that nothing felt like home they just thought I don't know if I'm talking to anybody I just need some help I'm almost done but but nothing feels comforting to get settled nothing feels like home I feel like I'm like something else is there that there's a different reality that I don't care what car I Drive it doesn't it doesn't satisfy me the food I eat doesn't satisfy me the place that I dwell doesn't satisfy me and God says good because I never wanted you to get comfortable with any of this stuff anyway Jesus taught us not to store up treasure here where thieves break in and steal but to lay up treasure in heaven where moth and rust do not destroy that smash you six 19 through 25 but what kind of treasure pastor John you talking about a savings account and I ain't talking about money laying up treasures of good works in acts of service who help me Hebrews 6 and 10 says God is not unjust he will not forget your labor of love and I just want you to know that I'm going to heaven and so are you I just came here to remind you of the reality of heaven and I want to talk about this heaven is for the saved is there anybody in here that sho'nuff saved if you know that you know that you know that you're safe do me a favor and stand up if you can well if you save show some signs [Applause] [Music] I'm gonna ask you one more time are you sho nuff say how'd you get saved say it again [Applause] okay so you asked Jesus to come living here anybody saved over here so let me ask you this how do you know you saved you know all right how many people are saved but you still sinned after you got saved well aren't you unsaved because you said no no no don't don't say no because most churches are open hoping you'll stay in guilt in condemnation and that your salvation is so fragile that you could lose your eternal soul over one sin when salvation requires an act of humility to confess your sins and to accept the full payment of your sin from Jesus Christ his righteousness is now credited to your account so there's nothing you could do to earn salvation so you got salvation through faith then religion tricks you uh says now that you saved now you got to work for it nobody's hearing what I'm saying you got saved by faith but now to maintain your salvation you got to work well if I if I fail here I could lose my salvation if I if I sin and then have a heart attack I'm gonna lose my salvation how dumb is that and how many people believe it how many people in here believe it how many people watching online believing that your salvation is one sin away no no no no all your sins were paid for the moment you accepted Jesus Christ [Applause] there's this restaurant called Red Robin yo you know Red Robin has unlimited fries some of y'all about to sit down the service is almost over you can sit down if your feet hurt it has unlimited fries it comes with the price you pay one price you can eat as much as you want when Jesus died all the sins that you'll ever do were paid for the little the little lie the real big lie that jealousy that sex outside of marriage all of that stuff all the nests all of it not just back there but what you're gonna do next week because the cross has no expiration I'm getting ready to break this religious devil in half it's that same spirit of judgment and condemnation that guilt trips you in the giving that shames you into thinking that if you don't show up every week and do everything right that you're going to go to hell that is a lie that is not what the Bible says there is a judgment in Revelation 20 the great white throne judgment says I saw the the dead both small and great and they stood before him who was on the throne and there were books open and another book was opened called the book of life and then there was another book and you and I our names are in the Lamb's Book of Life so why are you still nervous about when you died I hope I get in that's that's that's the most terrible theology and it dishonours the finished work of Jesus Christ your soul is saved because of what Jesus did not because of what you're currently doing on the day of judgment your name is in the Lamb's Book of Life so the other book is the book that he's going to give you your reward based on the works that you and I have done we don't have enough time today because a necessary place of worship arrived and I'm grateful for it but I want you to hear me real clear that there is in this moment a spirit that is trying to permeate the church to arrest you and hold you hostage to the fear that somehow God is waiting for you to mess up to dangle salvation over hell you were saved at 7 but now I know it's gone now how was that true when the Bible says he commended his love towards us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for the ungodly why would he die for you when you weren't looking for him and now that you want to serve Him now he wants to take it back it's bad theology get free from that religious demon that tells you that you can get yourself saved by works if your righteousness could get you saved then the cross didn't matter the Bible says our righteousness is as filthy rags we have children here so I want you to go study what filthy rags is in the Old Testament it'll shock you God says your righteousness the way you trying to get right with me is like that to me it's unclean you're a very attempt is unclean there's only one who paid the full price for us to be back in right relationship with the father his name is Jesus Christ heaven is a real place and we're not only going up to it it's coming down to us revelation 21 John said and I saw the New Jerusalem the new heaven and the new earth coming down as a bride adorned for her husband coming down and I heard the angels say now the tabernacle of God is with men I like what Paul said he said the last trumpet the dead in Christ shall rise first and those that remain will be caught up to meet him in the air and so shall we ever be with the Lord I got a glorified body coming up I don't need no Kido I don't need no vegetables I don't need none of that I'll be in the presence of the Living God and people get mad if God blesses you down here but his whole city is paved in pure gold every date is one pearl and you got precious stones all over the city and a river flowing through it you take and the Bible says and the fruit of the trees give its fruit each month is so much to unpack here but I simply wanted to take the sting out of death and let you know that heaven is a place for believers you couldn't earn it you and I don't deserve it but we have been given free entrance into heaven and that ought to make you shout and it ought to make you thank God and it ought to make you say if I'm not saying I want that today because whatever you've done it can be delivered and you can get set free right now if you're here and you know you need to get right with Jesus you want to accept the free gift of salvation you want to be a member of relentless run to the altar don't wait for the song don't wait for the music run there we
