-the scripture says and as it is
appointed unto men once to die but after
this the judgment
it is absolutely completely certain that
you’re going to die and it is the very
thing that very few people make any
provision for whatsoever there’s an
insanity there is some kind of a brain
disconnect going on there there has to
be some kind of a mad thing happening in
the minds of people when the thing that
is absolutely certain they make no
provision for whatsoever you make
provision for retirement lay up money
for years and and put invest in the
stock market and for old 401ks and all
this and get ready for your retirement
because you look forward to the golden
years as you call them they’re nuts of
gold and release but the truth of the
matter is a lot of you don’t reach
retirement you make plans for it you’re
gonna do I mean you’ve worked for 30 40
years for some company and all that and
then the day of your retirement you drop
dead you drop dead you see retirement is
not absolute it’s not certain it is not
certain that you’ll ever retire it’s not
it is not it is not certain that you’ll
retire but it is certain that you’ll die
it is absolutely completely certain that
the day is going to come when your life
is going to end on this earth have you
made preparation have you made
preparation have you prepared yourself
for that day for it is coming it is
coming and there’s not one thing you can
do to stop it that day is coming are you
ready
you see when our three tribes are still
to think about it’s not thinking about
it’s not going to change anything
denying it it’s not going to change it
say it’s not going to happen except for
some long time off into the future
that’s not so teenagers die young people die
kids die people die in to midlife they
die in all ages death is no respecter of
age this is the result of man from men
use against God when he said he brought
death into this world death by sin so
death passed upon all men for all have
sinned death is the consummation of
rebellion and sin against God it’s here
it’s the fact it’s something we deal
with and so my presence morning oh one
more child ask you a question have you
made provision for death are you ready
I’m not talking about your funeral I’m
not talking about me bump you flop
drowned out here I’m not talking about
how much money you’ve got laid up now
you told people what you want them to
say who’s going to sing at your funeral
and where they’re going to do it this
map that’s not what I’m talking about
I’m talking about the moment that your
soul and spirit leave this body and you
breathe no more and you have no control
over it and you leave planet Earth and
you are going to leave this world are
you ready for that day sin and Satan
will keep you in this la-la land where
you think that you’re just going to live
forever and you can just live anywhere
you please and life is just one big
sinning party and then when you get
ready someone way off in the future then
you’re just going to leave out of a big
party I figure going to die you’re going to die
if the point of the man wants to die
death is coming some of you it’s closer
than you think some of you may be dead
before the years out some of you may be
dead before the weeks out
some of you may be dead before the Sun
Goes Down you do not know when it’s
coming the government can’t change it
education can’t change it money can’t
change it associations can’t change it
nothing can alter the fact that you’re
going to Luke chapter 16 verse number 23
Bible said in verse number 20 tuna came
to pass the beggar died and was carried
by the angels to Abraham’s bosom the
rich man also died and was buried notice
the way the Bible says this now it’s
clear it delineates the difference
between the death of the body and the
existence of the soul the Bible said in
verse number 22 and was buried there’s
the body verse 23 and inhale he lifts up
his eyes being in torments and see if
Abraham afar off and Lazarus in his
bosom
notice how the Bible says it inhale he
lifts up his eyes that’s quite a thing
that’s a descriptive term that’s the
kind of thing if you want to look at it
and thinking you take into your heart he
died and they’re buried
but they didn’t bury him they bury his
body for he’s still around in the next
verse notice how clear the scripture is
in it even though they buried his body
the scripture says that inhale he his
eyes he looked around he takes it in and
my what a suck it must have been my what
horror must have lit his soul my can you
imagine how he must have felt he might
have been an atheist he might have been
an egg must he came out of thought he
was good he might have been a
self-righteous religious person
regardless of what he was the time came
when he lived up his eyes do you
understand the horror that’s going to
flood your soul the moment you wake up
inhale will you realize if there’s
nothing around you damnation and sorrow
and Bernie
inhale can you imagine what that will be
like there’s nobody to plead with
there’s nobody to cry up to him there’s
no money to go to to get help you’re in
hell to think that when you die you die
like a dog that’s all over with you
bragged you both could you told people
but I said this is it I’m just an animal
and when my life is gone is take the
advance and where it’s all over with I’m
gonna live life this is it one day at a
time and to find out how wrong you were
but it’s too late to realize that I for
all of your fragging it’s too late that
you are in a place that you can’t do
anything about you don’t have any idea
of a horror that will flood your soul
that’s what happened to this man the
Bible said he who lifts a piss on
inhale Earth’s greatest finest or the
Hale Kings and claims and preachers and
Pope’s and nuns and evangelist very
wealthy the very poor the gifts of the
privileged the office the musicians the
actors and athletes presidents Supreme
Court justices dictators murderers
thieves atheists agnostics Christ
rejecters all listen to this here’s a
man who’s the son of a Methodist
preacher he was a good man a good moral
man benevolent man would had one
horrible fault his heart was full of
bitterness cursing on several occasions
he went under deep conviction for
salvation during revival meetings
conviction is when God opens you up that
bothers sinners he went through
conviction turned it off a year later
another camp meeting held the same place
brought again under conviction refused
to yield listen to this and three days
later he died suddenly this man sinned
away his day of grace he was dead in
three days listen to this now if you
don’t hear anything else I was with him
in his last moments
he seemed to be utterly forsaken of the
Lord from the beginning of his sickness
the most powerful medicines had no
effect on him whatsoever just as the son
of a beautiful Sabbath morning rose in
its splendor over the eastern hills he
died in horrible agony listen all
through the night previous to his death
he suffered untold physical and mental
torture he offered the physicians all
his earthly possessions if they would
save his life he was stubborn till the
very last would not acknowledge his fear
of death till a few months before he
died then suddenly he began to look then
to stare horribly surprised and
frightened into the vacancy before him
then explained as he beheld a king of
terrors and all of his merciless wrath
my God my God here is this unbeliever
Christ rejecter who would say I’ll give
you anything I got doc if you’ll just
give me a little more life he’s looking
off into eternity and he said my god
his eye falls out of his head and here’s
what they said the indescribable
expression of his countenance at this
juncture together with a despairing
tones in which he uttered these last
words made every heart quake his wife
screamed and begged the brother to pray
for him but he was so terror stricken he
rushed out of the room the dying man
continued to stay in Gretl astonishment
his mouth wide open his eyes protruding
out of their sockets to the last and he
fell over dead
you want to die like that of course
listen P your friends can go eat with
you your friends can go play with you
your family can gather around the table
you could talk converse socialize do all
you want to everybody have all the
friendless that’s awful so when it comes
to the time of crossing over from this
world into eternity you can do it alone
you can do it alone
are you ready for that let’s talk about
something else it’s called the cross
Jesus Christ did not die a horrible
death on the cross for you to drive a
new car what he died for then preacher
he suffered the horror of the cross to
keep you out of the horror of Hell the
cross was horrible horrible horrible
suffering unbelievable suffering the
reason it’s so horrible is because hell
is horrible and the sacrifice the Son of
God was to keep you out of hell I’d only
go to hell preacher I’d only go well I
don’t either if you tell me this morning
that you don’t want to go to hell you’ve
shown me that you’re still in your right
mind that you haven’t been brainwashed
and duped to the point now when you
bought into this lie or everybody’s good
and everybody’s the same and everybody’s
going to go to heaven no they’re not no
they’re not how do I stay out of Hell
preacher there’s only one that can keep
you out of hell
neither is there salvation in any other
there’s no other name given among men
whereby we must be saved I saw Peter
said the name of Jesus the Lord Jesus
Christ I put my hope in him my future in
him my faith in Him what I am is in here
because he arose from the dead glory to
God a features in Christ it’s all about
the Son of God not looked across the bar
and have a liver point my life or I
follow my donor would you do preacher
did you think about your religion I can
give it five seconds what about the
people are selling in bombers what is
that miracle just the name of Jesus
agrestic let’s tone to the name of Jesus
that’s the only comfort there is of this
world and I’m going to tell you right
now when you really take hold of him and
he becomes a comfort to you that reminds
you and reassures you in your soul that
you’re a real believer yes did you hear
what I said when you’re down and flat
and it’s out hey you’re out of the count
it’s the one you’re calling out to and
take hold of and get comfort from that’s
the one you believe in say man big man
some of you don’t have a clue what I’m
talking about
your comfort is in prayer you pray your
comfort is in a catechism that you
approved by your comfort is in your
church and there is no comfort in that
hour but in one man Christ Jesus the
Lord I give eternal life and they shall
never perish don’t lift up your eyes and
feel don’t do it don’t do it don’t do it
don’t lift up your eyes and Heil because
if you do it’s too late it’s too late
are you ready are you ready
