Pastor Loran Livingston 🔥Biblical Signs Are Happening Faster Than Ever—The Worst Is Yet to Come

There is no denying it. When I see the tears and the joy and the laughter and the applause and the fellowship, I know God is in this place today. And I cherish that that he would honor us to come and be in our midst.

Thousands of us watching online, in other buildings, on other campuses, but God is walking in our midst. Amen. Would you give these musicians and singers a great hand today?

>> [applause] >> May the Lord quicken all all of our hearts. You know my desire. I want you to be built up and strengthened before you leave today.

But it would be a jewel if somebody who doesn't know Jesus could walk out of this building today knowing that every sin they've ever committed in their entire life is forgiven and forgotten by God because of what Jesus did on Calvary's cross. Wouldn't that be a wonderful thing if somebody came into the family today? >> [applause] >> So Father, I thank you for the moment, this moment.

I say it often, this eternal moment. Because how someone uses this moment will determine something in their life for eternity. Would you help me preach today, Lord?

A failed, frail man is standing in front of thousands of people. I don't have the capability of doing this, Lord. My knees are knocking.

My mouth is dry. But you can help me because you're the great preacher. And I ask that you bless your people today in Jesus' name.

Everybody said amen. Thank you for being seated. Smile at somebody on the way down.

>> [snorts] >> Let's get right to it. This has been a very disturbing week. My heart is broken.

>> [snorts] >> And I've come to realize again we are in a battle. This is a battle between light and dark. Good and bad.

Righteousness and unrighteousness. Filthiness and holiness. That's it.

There's nothing in between. This is not a political struggle. This is about people who are in the darkness of unbelief.

Who don't know Jesus. Who hate those who have come to know the light that is in Christ. And want to live good lives and make a good place for everybody else to live.

I'm going to make some statements this morning. I'll leave it up to you to weave it all together. First thing I want to say is all killing is not murder.

But all murder is murder. What do I mean by that? We have people that misinterpret the Ten Commandments.

And in their lofty idealistic mindset they look at the church and say why killing is a sin. The Bible says thou shalt not kill. Therefore, they think that people who are in the military are violating God's law or people in law enforcement.

But that's not what the Bible says. It says thou shalt not murder. Murder is the predetermined termination of innocent human life.

So, when a policeman shoots somebody when he or she is trying to protect society that is not murder. And when a soldier goes to war and ends the life of the enemy, that is not murder. And when a man opens the door to his house and someone comes in to rob him and he shoots him and he dies, that is not murder.

That's self-defense. >> [snorts] >> Murder is the wanton unreasonable termination of the greatest creation of God, which is a human being. Let me tell you what murder is.

It's when a young woman gets on a train and a demoniac a devil possessed person stabs her in the neck and kills her. That is murder. Murder is when a Christian speaker just trying to influence lives, young people especially, to know Christ is sitting there asking questions in a very happy place, 2 to 3,000 students who are singing God Bless America and hymns and loving one another and some demon-possessed man fires a shot and murders this man.

Murder is when an unborn baby is ripped out of the womb and thrown in a trash can. >> [snorts] >> Murder. Now, look at me.

There is no excuse for anything I've said here. Now, those who live in darkness will excuse the stabbing of a young woman on a train by using mental health as an excuse. And I've heard others use, when it came to Charlie Kirk, the excuse he brought it on himself because he was controversial.

That's dark talking. That's demons talking. And then society will say, "It's a woman's body.

It's a woman's right to kill babies." And somehow that justifies it? Listen to me. There is no excuse and no justification for anything I'm talking about here.

The dark side has a way of redefining sin and then making others who don't believe that feel guilty and stupid. And even intimidating them. I want you to know something.

I want everybody to listen carefully. And I realize we there may be some people in here with us today who are not you may not be a Christian. Or you may not If you are, you may not be familiar with this kind of uh animated, joyous worship in church.

You may not be familiar with or know of a preacher that will talk about heaven and hell and sin and righteousness. And how you must be born again or you will spend eternity in the lake of fire. But I'm one of those.

So, some of this could be a little tough on you today. Just listen because you are not in church by accident. Did you hear me?

Nobody is here by accident. You did not come by invitation only. You were appointed by an almighty God to hear what you're going to hear today.

So, hear this. Demons are real and they're loose. The devil is real and he's vicious.

God is real and he's on the throne. Jesus is real and he is alive. Heaven is real and I'm going there.

Hell is real and I hope you don't. But know this, demons are on the loose. Listen to this.

All people live and speak from a spiritual source. >> [snorts] >> Did you get that? You, you, the whole world, everybody alive is speaking and living from a spiritual source.

There are only two kinds of people in the world. Saved people and lost people. There you go.

What's a saved person? A saved person is someone who has realized that he is a sinner and that he is doomed. That he's going into eternity.

And that the destination is the flames of hell. And he calls on the name of the Lord Jesus. The Lord Jesus alone.

There is no other name. There's no other religion. Jesus is not a religion.

Jesus is a risen savior. He is a man. He is God.

And that saved person has called on the name of Jesus. And Jesus forgave his sin and washed every one of them away and now they walk in the light. And they have an understanding they did not have at one time.

They love good. They love the pure. They love people.

They They love God. Lost people are just the opposite. They have never called on Jesus.

They will not admit they're lost. They don't believe they're lost. They don't believe that they are unrighteous.

They cannot imagine a God who would in their words send somebody to hell. And I came to tell you God doesn't send anybody to hell. People choose to go to hell.

So if you go to hell, you chose to go. There's a great big God who made the universe, who stands in front of you, and he's doing it here in this service today with open arms and says, "I made a way for you. My way is Jesus.

He's my son. Call on him. You will never see the flames of hell.

You will live with me forever in eternity. >> [applause] >> So, saved people speak and live from the source of the Holy Spirit. People who do not know and confess Jesus speak from darkness and death, demons and devils.

They don't know it. And they get upset when you say it. But, that's what the Bible teaches.

I've been preaching a long time and I've been alive longer. And this is what I know from scripture, from life. Everybody comes into the world as a sinner.

That's what the Bible says. So, it's not what you do that makes you a sinner, it's what you are. If you are a human being, you came from Adam, and in Adam all are sinners.

So, you come into the world as a sinner under a sinful influence in your own life body, but then you come into a world that's influenced by sin. Starts out as an influence. And that's why I beg parents, teach your children early.

Take them to church. Stay in church with them. Teach them the scriptures.

Do whatever it takes to get your children to fall in love with Jesus. Because if you live long and continue to live without Jesus, that influence turns into a control. So, sinners, the older they get, are more and more under the control of darkness and devils.

They think, let me just be personal. You think you're in control of your life. You're not.

Nobody is in control of his own life. Either the Holy Spirit controls you or darkness, death, and demons control you. That's what the Bible says.

That's what we preach about. That's where we get our information. I don't get it from a philosopher.

I DIDN'T GET IT at an institute or a university. I don't care what people say. This is the bottom line for me.

This is the word of life. This is the truth of God. >> [applause] >> And if you live long enough under the control of darkness and devils and death, there are some people that actually become possessed.

They move from just the influence of it and the control of it to being possessed. The devil owns you. You don't even operate in your own capacity.

I want to say something here and you might call this parenthetical. I've noticed in the scriptures that demon demons and demon-possessed people always rejoice over murder. Hello.

When people are happy that somebody was murdered, that's a demon spirit. You got proof for that, preacher? You know I don't walk up HERE WITHOUT PROOF.

>> [applause] >> BUT THE PROOF IS IN THE BIBLE. So if you don't know the Bible, you don't know if I'm telling the truth or not. Yes, I have proof that demons and demon-possessed people rejoice and gloat over murder.

Jesus stood with his apostles one night and he said, "They're coming for me. My time has approached. They're going to murder me.

And when that happens, you will have sorrow and you will lament and weep. And the world will rejoice. Did you read it?

And the world will rejoice when they look up on a cross and see a man beaten half to death and whipped and nailed to a cross with crowns of a crown of thorns on his head, thirsting to death, hurting to death, AND THEY REJOICE. HE'S GONE. We're rid of that irritant.

Then I read in Revelation chapter 11. God, during the great tribulation, is going to send two prophets to preach and give people another chance. The Bible says they will kill them and leave them lying in the streets of Jerusalem for 3 and 1/2 days.

Let the flies swarm around them. Let them swell up. Just leave their bodies disrespectfully in the street so CNN can send it all over the world and Fox and all the others that are left behind.

And then the spirit of life from God will enter them. But before that happens, the Bible says all the people will send gifts to one another. Kings of the earth.

It's like Christmas in Jerusalem. They will send gifts and rejoice that these TWO PROPHETS ARE MURDERED. SO hear me when I tell you, it's not just angry people at work today.

It's possessed people. Let me give you an example. Do you mind?

I'm going to take you to a passage that I preached actually preached from 2 weeks ago. It's Mark chapter 5. Will you follow me closely?

Jesus got in a boat and they went to the other side to the country of the Gadarenes, remember? And when he got out of the boat, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit, a devil, a demon, who had his dwelling among the tombs and no one could bind him, not even with chains. Because he had often been bound with chains and shackles, and the chains had been pulled apart by him and the shackles broken in pieces.

Neither could anyone tame him. Wow. And always night and day he was in the mountains and in the tombs crying out.

Look. Look here. Crying out, cutting himself with stones.

When he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and worshipped him. Now, I want you to notice the pronouns, church. Watch the pronouns.

And he cried out with a loud voice and said, "What have I to do with you, Jesus, [clears throat] son of the most high God? I implore you by God that you do not torment me." For he said to him, "Come out of the man, unclean spirit." Then he asked him, Jesus asked the man, "What's your name?" And he answered saying, "My name is Legion, for we are many." Wait a minute now. Here's a man talking, but there are many demons inside of him controlling him.

He's not in charge of his mouth, his mind, or anything else. "My name is Legion, for we are many." And he begged Jesus earnestly that he would not send >> [clears throat] >> them out of the country. Now, a large herd of swine was feeding near the mountains.

So, here it is, all the demons begged him, saying, "Send us to the swine that we may enter them." And at once Jesus gave them permission. Then the unclean spirits plural went out and entered the swine, and there was about 2,000, and the herd ran violently down into the sea, into the sea, and were destroyed. Let's look at it verse by verse.

First of all, notice that this man who had demon spirits, who was living in darkness, was in bondage. Let me say it. Let me preach.

I'm a preacher. If you don't know Jesus, you're in bondage. And you can argue all day long how free you are, how you are in control of your life.

Let this suffice to say, the Bible says if you don't know Christ, you're in bondage. Then I notice he's crying out. He's got a loud mouth.

Have you seen what's happening in our country today? Do you see even lawmakers getting in front of a camera and using the foulest language you can imagine? Half their speech has to be bleeped out.

They're angry. They're crying out. You see, darkness cries out vulgarities, and darkness has no self-control.

And demons want to make noise and they try to intimidate people and they use the filthiest words possible to do it and you watch it every day. If you watch the news, you know how they are yelling and screaming and naming and calling people awful things. Those are not just people who want change in the country.

Those are demons who WANT THE COUNTRY DESTROYED. YOU DON'T HAVE TO CLAP. Then I noticed he was cutting himself.

That's what devils do. They want to get into a human body and then they abuse that body. Oh, Lord, I thought I would just faint the first time I heard about some of our own young people in our youth group who were found cutting themselves.

Taking razor blades and cutting their arms and gashing themselves because things weren't right at home or a thousand other things. You see, that's what demons do. They make people hate themselves.

They abuse their own bodies. And what could be worse abuse than for society to say it's okay for a little boy to have his genitals removed so he can be turned into a girl or vice versa. NOW, YOU DIDN'T WANT TO HEAR ME SAY THAT, BUT I SAID IT ANYWAY.

ALL OF THAT IS DEMONIC. IT'S DARK. IT'S DEVILISH.

>> [applause] >> AND DID YOU NOTICE HE WAS VIOLENT? You know, after Charlie Kirk got shot the other day, it was noted no cars were burned, no houses burned, no stores broken into, no looting, no rioting, no police were shot, no National Guard called in. You know why?

Darkness demands all of this stuff. Dark-minded people, demons demand the burning and the looting and the killing. But light says, "God's going to take care of this one way or the other." >> [applause] >> Yeah.

And I notice these pronouns again. >> [clears throat] >> This head demon talking for all the demons in the one man's body, uh I found out can talk to God. "What have I to do with you, Jesus, son of the most high God?" He's talking to God.

Jesus knows them. Jesus is the one that threw them out of heaven. They know their days are numbered.

Every demon and every devil knows who Jesus is. And he asked the question, "What have I to do with you, Jesus? Why Why are you here now?

Is it time?" Because they all know that there's going to be a day when every single one will be cast into the lake of fire for eternity. He was talking to God. This is the one that gets me.

"I implore you." Is it on the screen? "I implore you I implore you by God that you do not TORMENT ME." OH MY WORD, CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? THE DEVIL THAT'S TORMENTING THE MAN IS ACCUSING JESUS OF TORMENTING [screaming] HIM.

I THINK THAT IS THE FIRST MENTION OF GASLIGHTING. I know not I had to check with a few younger people is this gaslighting cuz I still don't get it. Gaslighting in other words I'm projecting on to you what I am.

I want you to feel guilty for what I did. It's called gaslighting and the devil the devil actually said I'm begging you not to torment me. Jesus has never tormented anybody.

Jesus came to seek and to save that which was lost to bind up the broken heart to heal the wounded to put things back together for him to even say don't torment me meant he was a devil. Let me go on. My name is Legion.

We are many. We have no idea when we walk out of this building you walk to a restaurant or go to work tomorrow or drive down the street. The people around us that are full of devils.

Demons. The worse your life is the more perverted your life is the more demons you have. And you you feel free going to church.

I am a pastor of a long long tenure. I am still to this day amazed at the people who can come into this church hearing this kind of straight preaching and still live in sin. But that's what can happen when people are full of devils.

The devil wants them to think that they're okay because he's prolonging it so he can move you into possession where you don't even know who you are anymore. This is the other thing I know demons want to live in bodies. They want to live in flesh and blood.

I don't know. But God does too, you see. And that's why Jesus You don't mind if I get a little happy, do you?

Jesus was pleased to come and dwell in us because he bought us with his own blood. And now we are his dwelling place. AND GOD THE FATHER, GOD THE SON, GOD THE HOLY Spirit are happy to dwell in this body.

But demons also want to live in flesh and blood bodies. They don't want to be just cast out so that they float around. They feel safer in somebody's being.

And Jesus allowed them to go into the pigs, but even pigs would rather be dead than to be under the influence of devils. So, what I'm trying to tell you is we are in a battle. This is brutal, merciless, bloody, heavenly, spiritual warfare.

And we, the church, have been afraid. We've been quiet. We've been intimidated.

We don't want TO LOSE OUR JOBS. WE DON'T WANT TO STIR UP ANY CONTROVERSY. LET ME SAY IT AGAIN.

EVERYWHERE JESUS WENT, HE STIRRED UP THE DEVIL. EVERYWHERE PAUL WENT, HE STIRRED UP THE CITY. WHY IS THE CHURCH SILENT?

WHEN WILL WE RECOGNIZE WE ARE NOT DOING A DOING GOD A SERVICE BY ZIPPING OUR LIPS and trying to make a peaceful situation? THERE COMES A TIME WHEN YOU SAY, "THIS IS HEAVEN OR HELL. THIS IS ETERNAL STUFF.

I WILL DO YOU A DISSERVICE IF I DON'T TELL YOU THE TRUTH. IT MIGHT BE YOUR SON, YOUR DAUGHTER, OR SOMEBODY ELSE in your family on their way to hell. You are doing THEM A DISSERVICE.

YOU'RE TRYING TO KEEP THE FAMILY TOGETHER, BUT THERE'S SOMETHING MORE IMPORTANT THAN BEING TOGETHER WITH THE FAMILY. IT'S THAT THE FAMILY GETS SAVED AND THE FAMILY GO TO HEAVEN TOGETHER. >> [applause] >> SO, when you say things like this, people suddenly get militant.

Oh, I'm going to do something. I'm going to go find somebody and straighten them out. That's not what that's not what this is about.

We don't use guns and bullets. And as a matter of fact, we don't even use legislation. We start on our knees because the Bible says, "Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might.

Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the tricks of the devil. For we do not wrestle AGAINST FLESH and blood, BUT AGAINST PRINCIPALITIES AND POWERS, AGAINST THE RULERS OF THE DARKNESS OF THIS AGE, against spiritual wickedness IN HIGH PLACES. THEREFORE, TAKE ON TO YOU THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD THAT YOU MAY BE ABLE to withstand in this EVIL DAY.

AND HAVING DONE ALL TO STAND, STAND. STAND. STAND.

>> [applause] >> OKAY? BUT I'M not finished yet. Stand therefore having girded your waist with the truth.

This warfare will not work without the truth. You can't JUST STRAIGHTEN PEOPLE OUT AS A CONSERVATIVE. It's only the word of God, THE WORD OF TRUTH THAT CAN OPEN THEIR EYES AND BRING THEM TO THE SAVING KNOWLEDGE OF JESUS.

YOU GOT to wrap yourself in the truth having put on the blessed breastplate of righteousness. You walk out into a dark world, a demonic world, and you know the devil's going to try his best to knock you out, knock you down. BUT YOU SAY, "I GOT ON A BREASTPLATE.

I've got protection. It is the righteousness of God in Jesus Christ. THERE IS NO ENEMY THAT'S GREATER THAN MY RIGHTEOUSNESS.

HE THAT IS IN ME IS GREATER THAN HE who is in the world." And then having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace, meaning you're not put here just to work a few years, save a bunch of money, and retire. As a Christian, you get up every morning and walk out into a dark demon-possessed world and say, "God's going to give me an opportunity today to let my light shine. I'm going to TELL SOMEBODY ABOUT JESUS.

I'M GOING TO STAND. I'M NOT BACKING UP ANYMORE. I AM BOLD IN THE LORD Jesus Christ." Then he goes on to say, "Above all, above all, take the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all of the fiery missiles of the enemy." Shield of faith.

You know what that means? Doesn't matter what it looks like, God is in control. Doesn't matter who seems to be in charge down here, somebody else is in charge up there.

We don't wither and we don't run away because the the dark side seems to be gaining an advantage. We remember that there is no majority that can overcome the church of the LIVING GOD. THE GATES OF HELL CANNOT PREVAIL against the church of the living God.

Let me tell you something. You can reject the truth, BUT YOU CANNOT SILENCE THE TRUTH. >> [applause] >> And take the helmet of salvation.

That's what covers my head. I'm a saved man. You sound arrogant.

You sound holier than thou. No, I'm not. I'm just giving you what the Bible says.

If any man is in Christ Jesus, he is a new creation. The old is gone, the new has come. That's my salvation.

I'm not the man I used to be. I don't want the stuff I used to want. I want Jesus.

I want to go to heaven. I want to hug everybody's neck. I want to lead everybody I can to heaven.

I want to build up the church with all that I can. That's my helmet of salvation. I'M A SAVED MAN.

UH WHEN YOU ASK A truly born again man, are you saved? They don't hem haw around. Well, you know, uh I was brought up in the uh Presbyterian church.

Uh my granny prayed for me at times. YOU DON'T DO THAT. When somebody says, "ARE YOU SAVED?" AM I SAVED?

I can take YOU TO THE PLACE. I CAN TAKE YOU TO THE TIME WHEN THE LORD SAVED ME AND FORGAVE ME AND LIFTED ME UP AND MADE A CHILD OF GOD OUT OF ME. Then he says, "Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the spirit.

I was praying yesterday and again felt heavily impressed to call prayer meeting tomorrow night, 7:00 in here. >> [clears throat] >> Are you with me? What time did I say?

And where? Good. Now, listen to me very carefully.

Tomorrow night is not going to be a time for you to get in the corner and meditate. This is not quiet time tomorrow night. We're coming in here to do warfare.

The kingdom of heaven suffers violence and the violent take it by force. We're not coming in here with hatchets and guns. We're coming in here on our knees with the word of God and with promises that God said he would keep.

We're going to call on the name of the Lord, pray for our nation, pray for our church, pray for our families. But, I don't want you to get upset because somebody may be a little louder than you are. We're just designating this and it's not going to be crazy.

We're not going to let it be crazy. But, we just want you to know people are hurting, children are lost, families are messed up, the devil is loose, demons are everywhere and the only thing THAT'S GOING TO STEM THE TIDE IS FOR THE CHURCH TO RISE UP AS THEY KNEEL DOWN AND SAY JESUS is the Lord of this place. I'm not finished.

I got to hurry. I know I go TOO LONG. I KNOW I DO.

[screaming] SAY, WHAT'S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW? Someone preaching to someone's is God's divine design for getting people to heaven. There's no other way.

The foolishness of preaching. It's in the Bible. God even said, "This is a foolish thing that I would take unworthy and incapable people, lay my hand on them, and cause them to stand up and speak my truth mightily so that others are saved." It's the preaching of the cross that is the power of God unto salvation.

You know what else that verse says? The preaching of the cross is to them that are perishing foolishness. I hope nobody's listening to me today thinking, "That's a fool up there.

You know, what what's going on there is foolishness cuz that just simply means you are so lost." But for everybody else in here, I can tell you what you're thinking. I love good preaching. I love good Bible preaching.

I'd rather go to preaching in church than anywhere else. I'm going to say it again. I don't even care if it offends you.

You couldn't You COULDN'T YOU COULD NOT PUT ME ON A HELICOPTER AND FLY me over to Panther Stadium or any other station in this nation and give me $5,000 and say you'll stay in the nicest hotel and you can sit in the booth, but it's it's from 8:30 till 12:30 on Sunday. I'd say, "No, thank you. GIVE IT TO SOMEBODY ELSE.

I'm going to church. I'd rather be IN GOD'S HOUSE WATCHING GOD AT WORK THAN WATCHING PEOPLE THROW A BALL AROUND SOMEWHERE." >> [applause] >> The word is the only thing that will save you. You see, you you can't get saved by looking at nature.

Nature screams there is a God. You can't get on a telescope and look up and say, >> [clears throat] >> "How vast. Some kind of power must have done this.

And I accept that power. That won't save you. You can't get on a microscope and get down to the smallest little weekly animal that so so small it's microscopic but it has a respiratory system, a skeletal system a circulatory system and you go ah some great power must have done this.

I believe. That won't save you. Going to church won't save you.

I don't care if you go every Sunday. We have people who do go every Sunday and they're living in sin. That won't save you.

A disaster won't save you. You know, this week was also the remembrance of 9/11. Right?

We have people in this choir who actually whose husband actually saw people fall out of those buildings, jump out of those buildings and splatter on the sidewalk. I watched a lot of that the other day and I got I just got so depressed. And if you remember, how many of you remember this?

>> [clears throat] >> The next day I'm going to clear my throat. Hang on. That's a sound man there.

The next day I called a meeting and I said we're going to do a study in Daniel and Revelation. Remember this building was so packed you couldn't get in it? I'm asking you, do you remember?

Do you remember the choir was packed, the chairs were all up here, people were having to stand in the hallways and sitting on the steps and out ON THE BALCONY. WHOA, I SAID THIS IS GOING TO be good and it was for about 3 weeks. Then the crowd started going down, down, down because 9/11 started wearing off off off.

And remember when those congresspersons stood on the Capitol steps and tried to sing? It was awful. But they were trying to show unity.

Well, where are we now? We're more divided than we've ever been. That tragedy didn't get anybody saved.

It surely didn't save the country. I know people in it that sit under this ministry. They've had They don't know the Lord, but they've had awful tragedies in their life.

And for a little while, they come to church because they're hurt and they're broken. But you know what? Somehow the pain subsides.

The scars don't go away, but the pain subsides and they're not even in church today. So, the only thing that will save someone from sin is the gospel of Jesus Christ preached, heard, believed, received. It's the only thing.

So, I close with John chapter 16 when Jesus said, "I'm going back and I'm going to send the Holy Spirit. And when I send the Holy Spirit, he will do three things. Number one, he will convict or reprove the world of [clears throat] sin, of righteousness, and of judgment." What does that mean?

Jesus said, "I'm going back. I'll send the Holy Spirit and through the Spirit and preaching, I will convict the world of sin. I will say to the world, 'You're a sinner.'" He has me say it.

I said it today. Without Christ, you're a sinner. That's the Holy Spirit talking.

Because most people think they're not that bad. I am not a bad person. I do good things.

I just don't happen to subscribe to your church and your ways, but I'm a good person. The Holy Spirit says, "You're not." Because you are a sinner until Jesus saves you, personally, powerfully saves you. Second thing he will convict the world of is righteousness.

Because the world says, lost people say, dark-minded people say, "I'm righteous. I'm good. I'm I'm fine." The Holy Spirit comes to say, "No, you're not.

What you think is righteousness is trash. That's why God said to Israel, "All of your righteousness is as filthy rags." I can't say it the way the Hebrew says it because we're in mixed company. But he's saying, "ALL OF YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS IS NOTHING MORE THAN YOUR TRASH CAN IN YOUR BATHROOM AND ITS CONTENTS.

And that makes me sick." God said. So, you can't get to heaven unless you're righteous. Then how will I get there, God?

He says, "I'm glad you asked. My son Jesus died in your place, died for you, rose again with you on his mind. And he says, "If you will but call on my name, I will give you my righteousness.

You have none, but I'll give you mine and you're heaven-worthy." And then he says, "Judgment." He'll convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment. Everybody listen to the preacher. Judgment day's coming.

Judgment day is coming. It's coming to America. It's coming to Russia.

It's coming to Uganda. It's coming to the whole world. Judgment day is coming.

The United States is not going to get better. God may give us a reprieve. We may get enough souls saved for a while, but the United States is not going to get to some level of glory or any other country.

We're going down because judgment DAY IS COMING. PAUL PREACHED and said to the Athenians, "God has appointed a day in which he will judge the world in his righteousness. And he has given proof to this by the man he appointed, even Jesus, by raising him from the dead." There it is.

I'm looking at so many people today. Judgment day is coming. Your judgment day is already in the books.

It's coming. My prayer is that you will respond to the message. Forget the preacher.

I'm I know I'm obnoxious. I know that I'm hard to take. Don't listen to me.

Listen to the words that come out of my mouth because they come out in love. Jesus loves you. Jesus can save anybody from anything.

Jesus sent you here today. Jesus wants you in heaven with him. Hallelujah!

>> [applause] >> I had another verse, but I'm I'll finish. Stand with me, please. As we do all the time, David is going to start playing a chorus, and we're going to sing it.

But I do want to say to somebody who may not who is not sure where you stand with Jesus. Jesus You you you can't be ambivalent. You can't [music] be I don't know.

You got to be certain. You can't live a hope-so salvation. You got to have I'm convinced.
