if it's okay with you can I just act like I met camber is that Alright and that's time you let me do that we had a great time what can I do it again alright that makes me feel well Ecclesiastes chapter three verse one to read to everything there is a season listen to the writer to everything there's the season then he says there's a time to every purpose under the heaven a time to be born and a time to die time to plant the time to pluck up that which is planted time to kill time to kill the time to break down a time to build up a time to weep and a time to laugh a time to mourn and a time to dance a time to cast away stones and a time to gather stones together a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing as a time to get there's a time to lose a kind of time to keep time to cast away time to ring the time so and there's a time to keep silent a time to speak time to love and a time to hate a time of war a time of peace I want to preach to you briefly tonight on this subject that's burning in my soul precious time precious time father we love you we praise and we thank you I'm so privileged to be here once again I pray now that you give me strength to be able to minister to all the hearts and souls that you are being to be here today I thank you for this opportunity now highly behind the cross and speaking of your soul that's here right now we don't want to hear from man tonight but let every word come from your presence we love you God we thank you we wait with great expectations and anticipation speaking we will listen speak that we will obey we love you and we praise you in Jesus name Amen we give the Lord one big hand clap of praise please now was that familiar with that for the Lord he may be seated when I read the writer you please the acetate and he writes so beautifully from his soul I get this this thing that jumped out at me and it jumped up very clearly how time is so precious a time for this a time for that the key word is time time that was a movie that came out cold in time came out in 2011 both of you you don't watch TV so don't worry about it but it was an interesting movie called in kind and when you look at it and you study it you would find that everything revolves around time they would buy time they would sell time they were desperate for for time if they didn't have time they would drop dead doesn't matter nothing was more important than time time time is the most precious resource that we have which is why we need to regularly evaluate and order our time according to God's purpose the people could buy time they could buy time they would and if they could it would be the number one product of all time every year if they could sell time it would be the hottest commodity in the world but I stand here to tell you today that I'm so glad that God and God alone he has complete control over time I remember talking to my wife little while back and God gave me this message I told her that I no longer look at I the same I no longer look at people the same after I got in a revelation of how important and precious time is I told her that I did not want to go around spending my time holding grudges I did not want to go around spending my time fussing all the time with people I did not want to spend my time being unforgiving and I did not want to spend my time being sad and mad and everything time is precious there's a quote from Earl Nightingale this radio writer and speaker and author he said it can learn to enjoy a minute of life of your life be happy now don't wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future he said think how really precious is the time you have to spend whether it's at work or your family or every minute should be enjoyed and favored every minute should be enjoyed and hey I got the revelation and it hit me so hard because I would sit around in my house and I would be worrying about this and concern about this with my daughter do this when she do that with my son be okay and so forth and so just finding myself spending time as we say tripping ripping jesus said in mark chapter 13 verse 32 he says he said but of the day in that hour no man knoweth no not the angels which are in heaven neither the son but the father he said take heed heed watch and pray for you know not when the time he said when the time is but the son of man is as a man taking the for journey he said who left his house and gave authorities very important to his servants and to man his word and he commanded the porter to watch he said watch ye therefore for you know not when the master of the house cometh and that evening or at midnight or at the cock-crowing or in the morning he said least coming suddenly he find you sleep and when I say unto you Jesus says I say unto all watch when you look at this and you look at it carefully Jesus gives us three important things one he gives us authority here while we are doing the things of God and he gives every man his word and he gives us a command and that command is to watch because no man knows the time no man knows the time listen and listen to me carefully time time it waits for no man it waits for no man if you think time is going to wait on you there something is wrong with you time is ticking that's why I'll ask you to put it up there it's not up here yet because I wanted to deceive the time pick down I guess they working on it right now but time waits for no man it was Jesus who also said these words in Luke chapter 12 verse 35 he said let your lawns be girded about and your life burning he telling ye all see yourselves like unto men that wait for the Lord when he will return from the wedding that when he cometh knocking they may open unto him immediately blessing of those service whom the Lord when he cometh fine defying watch him verily I say unto you that he said gird himself and make them to sit down to meet and will come forth to serve them and if he shall come in the second watch or come in the third watch and find them so blessed are those turbans this no and listen but if the good man of the house had known what hour what time the thief would come he would have watched and not have suffered his house to be broken through be he therefore he say ready also but a son of man cometh at an hour time when you think what you think now I guess the number one question tonight it's big what are you doing with your time what are you doing with your time are you wasting it are you talking people with it by hitting them and not getting along with them do you know why do you have any idea why I don't hate people because they are the very image of God I see you I see dawn and I cannot spend my time hating and torturing people what are you doing with your time are you sitting on it are you using it unwisely like spending all day complaining about things that you can't even control what is it what are you doing with your time Satan is a time killer Satan is a time kill and there's many things that Satan would love to use to kill your time one is laziness help me Jesus they don't want to do anything don't want to be bothered don't want you to bother them and don't want to bother you laziness it's killing us and that's what some folks are doing with their time Satan is a time killer he's using other things to help irreal time like bad relationships we invest so much time and something in someone that is not in the will of God and what about social media he it's addictive and people have addictive personality and people are spending all of their time on social media they get come up with this and they get come up with that so much kind of why I never got connected to and it first came out because god quicken my spirit and say don't get connected to that it's going to take away your time I fell again people have addictive personalities and that social media stuff is addictive and the last thing that I needed to be was addicted to social media if anybody didn't know about addictions it would me so I said I'm not gonna get addicted to anything but the Word of God the laws of God the house of God to the other witness taking as a time killer another thing that he used to kill your time what about the telephone the telephone as people that keep the phone up to the ear all the time can hold a decent conversation with nobody because they held a song to me talk all day on the phone about nothing when it comes to Jesus in prayer we can't find you know where you'll have anything to say when it comes to that I'm all by myself tonight lord I know people that talk get up in the morning and talk on the telephone go to sleep at night talking on the telephone eating kicking talking on the telephone [Applause] and some of them a brand that they'll make a phone when we can get in the shower and talk on the telephone it's a time killer at the time killer and how about these personal hobby everybody knows everybody that know me know I love to fish but I thank God for my wife because you don't let it spin and take my time I thank God for my wife I would and good I would but I have a garlotte woman that said oh no son not around here man of God you got to read you got to praise you got inside was a handsome girl you got to read you got to praise you got to study you're not going to waste your time on personal hobby Lisa watt said then I'm just we don't told myself that some of you know already it was Paul who said these words and Ephesians chapter 5 verse 14 through 60 he can wherefore he said awake thou awake thou that sleepest and arise he said from the dead and Christ should give the light see then that you walk circumspectly that word circumspectly means that someone who considers all things Shelly he said not as fool's but as wise then he says we being redeeming the time because the days are evil if that was one thing that I learned when I was at the grace house upon the believers ship of geralyn's because he he would come in periodically and he was shout those words redeem redeem the dock he would tell us man he says you gotta redeem the time why didn't you send me here idling all day long redeem redeem the time make the most of every opportunity because the days are evil I never forgot it enough Thank You Jerry I had to cut my motor running I started getting more into the Word of God I stopped hanging around people and I got closer to God because you would come in and you would preach it and teach it redeem within within the time and I think God I think God's on it double quote by an unknown author that said the great use of time is to spend it for something that will outlast it then again the great use of time is to spend it for something that will outlast that without lasted it remind me of brother Bruce Mel to how God have used him so mightily here in this church and here by listening to the voice of God begin BPO a training center here this church and now that Bruce is no longer over he pass it on to minister Marshall pastor Marshall and now he's running it but you can see how with his time he started and built a legacy and but he passed it on and the PIO a training skill will outlast him it would go on and on and on that's what you're called using your time your time wisely it was Paul when he wrote to the Church of Corinth and second Corinthians verse 6 in chapter 6 verse 2 he said these words for he saith I have heard thee in a time accepted and in the day of salvation have I suckered he said shuddered be that word suckered me to aid or to him he said behold now now now is the accepted time behold now is the day of salvation you'll have time to play games the clock is ticking time is running out if I'm going to get it I got to get it right now if I'm going to know him I got to know him right now time waits for no man time it's not on your side it's not on your side it's not on your side here's what I'm afraid of here's what got me here's what I'm afraid of but we're going to let what happen to us happen to them in the New Testament the Bible talks about it in Luke chapter 19 verse 41 and 44 and the Bible said when he had come near that Jesus he that he is Jesus when he had come near he beheld the city and he wept over it saying if thou have known even Dow at the least in this side a the thing which belongeth unto thy peace but now there is from thine eyes but the day shall come upon thee and thy enemies you guys are tricks about the income pasty around and keep the N on every side and shall lady even with the ground and by children with thee thy children within thee impatient I'll even be one stone upon another and he tells us why because you knew not the time of your visitation it's my prayer tonight it was my home tonight that we would not be like that New Testament church bear those who miss their day of visitation it messed about it it messed me up when I read it Ryan that or they right mind would see the Lord and see the great miracles and work of God the move of God like we see here at this church week after week after week knowing God is here salvation is falling on people in your coming here who and a right mind will miss such a visitation it was Jesus that says because they did not know not the time the enemy comes around them lay them to the ground who stones upon them but not only you but to your children and those that you have time is so precious I often wonder how awesome do we the ever solid church but those of you who have been blood though I often wonder how much time do you spend in prayer often wonder how much time do you spend teaching your children often wonder how much time do you spinning Bible study how much time do you spend witnessing to the law how much time time time do you spend doing the things of God we all need a check tonight and we all need to go back and examine ourselves and see why we are wasting so much time while we're wasting so much time he tells them because they knew not the time by visitation the time of the hesitation what is he saying he's telling you that salvation is here but I was here the glory of God is here all you have to do is step out on faith all you have to do is believe God all you have to do is trust him don't waste another moment don't waste time it was Paul it was Paul in Romans chapter 13 and I got 17 minutes and the clock is ticking come on musicians come on I'm tripping them out right now come home and dishes get that right quick it was Paul who said in Romans chapter 13 verse 11 as well he said in that knowing the time that now is I got to awake out of sleep for now he is our salvation here then we believe the nights are spent the day is at hand let us therefore cast off the works of darkness and let us put on the armour of life it's all about taking big time to get saved this time to help others be sane listen to me I said it once and I'll say it again time is not on our side that's not on our side from this day forward I would no longer waste my time from this day forward I would well allow anybody to waste my time I have a question for all of you today but if we have only five minutes left of Chi I'll give you ten and be gracious and you knew that once the clock from that 10-minute time is up what hand if you had ten minutes left what will you do how would you spend that last ten

evolving gospel that needs to be updated with the latest theories of psychology and sociology and legality but we have the faith which once for all was delivered to the Saints it saved people in the first century it saves people in the 21st century
