What kind of earthquake or war must be sent by God to awaken a sleeping world to the imminence of coming judgment. I want to rush out into the streets and shout with Solomon of old, “Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and depart from evil.” [Proverbs 3:7]. I want to remind people that “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.” [Proverbs 14:12].
Jesus said unless you repent, you will likewise perish. [Luke 13:3]. What part of that do you not understand? God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a Son of man, that He should repent; has He said, and will He not do it? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good? [Numbers 23:19].
As fast as end time prophecies are being fulfilled in the world, you want to delay salvation. I often wonder, what’s wrong with you?
Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and He will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon. [Isaiah 55:6].
For He saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succored thee: behold, NOW is the accepted time; behold, NOW is the day of salvation. [2 Corinthians 6:2].
If you do not repent and get under My Umbrella NOW, how will you escape My wrath? [John 3:36]; My condemnation? [John 3:18]; My word of banishment? [Matthew 26:41].
You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to Hell? [Matthew 23:33] … “where the fire never goes out” “where the worms that eat them do not die.” [Mark 9:43-48]. You will not!
I tell you, if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into Hell fire.
REPENT and DO NOT DELAY! If you do, your wickedness will punish you; your backsliding will rebuke you. [Jeremiah 2:19]. I tell you; turn from your evil ways! For why should you die? [Ezekiel 33:11].
I will bring distress on mankind, so that they shall walk like the blind, because they have sinned against the Lord; their blood shall be poured out like dust, and their flesh like dung. Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them on the day of the wrath of the Lord. In the fire of his jealousy, all the earth shall be consumed; for a full and sudden end he will make of all the inhabitants of the earth. [Zephaniah 1:14-18].
The great day of the Lord is near, near and hastening fast; the sound of the day of the Lord is bitter; the mighty man cries aloud there. A day of wrath is that day, a day of distress and anguish, a day of ruin and devastation, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and thick darkness, a day of trumpet blast and battle cry against the fortified cities and against the lofty battlements. [Zephaniah 1:14; Zephaniah 3:8].
If you hear God’s voice, do not harden your heart. Jesus says of those who refuse to be saved, “These shall go away into everlasting punishment and be lost forever. [Matthew 5:22; Matthew 25:46]. Avoid Hell at all costs! Repent and get under the Umbrella of the Almighty God NOW! [Acts 3:19; Acts 20:21].
The Eternal Consequences of Delaying Salvation: Eternal separation from God. [2 Thessalonians 1:9]. Eternal torment. [Revelation 14:9-11; Revelation 20:15]. Eternal Regret. [Luke 16:19-31].
Everyday God is doing everything possible to keep you from going into that awful, inconceivable place, called Hell. He has filled the road to Hell with a number of roadblocks designed to prevent you from going there.
The Holy Spirit calls you, woos you, pleads with you saying if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. [Revelation 3:20; Luke 12:36-37; Revelation 19:9; John 14:21-23].
God has already given His Final Appeal! Repent and get under the Umbrella of the Almighty God NOW!
No Time for God. [Acts 24:24-27].
The people laughed and sneered as the prophet wept and pleaded and warned them with fire in his eyes. They called him a fanatic and refused to listen until the wrath of the Lord was aroused against his people and there was no remedy. [2 Chronicles 36:16].
“You can give a person knowledge, but you can’t make them think. Some people want to remain fools, only because the TRUTH requires CHANGE!” [Tony A. Gaskins Jr.].
I am the cause of my own demise. If you really knew me, you’d know I did this all to myself. I ruined myself and gave into temptation and could not stop. I look for any chance possible to do it and without thought. I am lost. [Stones to Bridges].
Modern men and women, bound with chains of their own forging, are caught in a trap of their own making—empty, vacuous, godless. And all the while impressed with a false sense of their own importance. They are senseless children; they have no understanding. [Jeremiah 4:22].
Going to Heaven or Hell is not by accident but a choice!
