  This is Living Waters of Grace, the teaching ministry of Clark
• 0:08
  Waffer, senior pastor of Calvary Chapel of Westmoreland, County
• 0:12
  of Greensburg, PA. Now here's Pastor Clark as he
• 0:16
  continues teaching through God's Word.
• 0:37
  I submit, I respond. And it's an awesome.
• 0:39
  Thing when the root. Is pulled out because then I can
• 0:41
  truly look in the mirror one day and say, you know.
• 0:43
  I don't have that problem anymore with that particular sin
• 0:47
  because God pulled the root out. But if I look in the mirror and
• 0:50
  I know down deep inside that I still have a problem with the
• 0:53
  particular sin in my life, it's because I haven't let the Lord
• 0:57
  pull the root. And it's because I still don't
• 0:59
  want to repent of it. Because I still take a degree
• 1:02
  of. Pleasure and whatever.
• 1:03
  And we're all in. Process regarding that.
• 1:06
  Have you ever tried to pull a weed out of the ground and saw
• 1:09
  it sprout up the next week? It's crazy because when you pull
• 1:13
  it out you think oh I got it good, but then a little leaf
• 1:16
  starts to sprout again. This happens because what you
• 1:19
  pulled out wasn't the root of the plant, it was just the top
• 1:24
  part. If you don't go all the way down
• 1:26
  to the roots, the weed will always return.
• 1:29
  Today, Pastor Clark says to run from sin, you must hit it at the
• 1:35
  root. You don't want to give the enemy
• 1:37
  a chance to attack anything that's lingering now.
• 1:40
  Here's Pastor Clark in Deuteronomy chapter 13 with
• 1:44
  today's edition of Living Waters of Grace.
• 1:47
  He has spoken in order to turn you away from the Lord your God,
• 1:51
  who brought you out of the land of Egypt and redeemed you from
• 1:54
  the House of bondage, to entice you from the way in which the
• 1:58
  Lord your God commanded you to walk.
• 2:00
  So you shall put away the evil from your midst.
• 2:03
  Isn't that amazing? So clear?
• 2:05
  And why are there so many Christians today that are
• 2:08
  sitting in churches listening to lies and being deceived by false
• 2:12
  prophets? Their move and their goal is to
• 2:15
  bring deception and to move. You away from the truth of who
• 2:20
  God is. What's the message of today's
• 2:22
  modern prophets on TV? Give me your money.
• 2:26
  Because I want a jet, I want a mansion, I want fame and I want
• 2:30
  worship. Benny Hinn is in big trouble,
• 2:34
  guys. The way he lives on the.
• 2:37
  Back of the hard. Working dollars of the people.
• 2:40
  Of this. World scamming them, hypnotizing
• 2:44
  them using occultic techniques. Supposedly he got his aura from
• 2:49
  hanging around Katherine Kuhlman's grave.
• 2:51
  He picked up her energy. I mean, where do you find that
• 2:53
  in the scriptures? Katherine Kuhlman was told never
• 2:56
  to come back and Butler again because when she was up there
• 3:00
  they scammed the people and they had people faking like they were
• 3:03
  healed. Where some people knew, some of
• 3:05
  the people from the community said, where were you up there in
• 3:07
  crutches for you Don't you were, you know, you didn't need
• 3:10
  crutches. Well, they paid the people.
• 3:12
  They were plants in the audience to get the hype going.
• 3:15
  God in his mercy, though, works in the midst.
• 3:17
  Of these. Foolish situations because
• 3:19
  someone might be out there broken hearted, calling on God
• 3:23
  for a miracle, and God will do a miracle in spite of the people
• 3:26
  because He loves people. His heart breaks over the needs
• 3:30
  of the human heart and what it's going through and the horror
• 3:33
  that people have to live. So God still does miracles, but
• 3:36
  not dependent. On these false prophets and
• 3:39
  these false leaders. Did Jesus?
• 3:42
  Live in a mansion. The Bible says he didn't have a
• 3:45
  place to lay his head, did Jesus?
• 3:47
  Want people's money? He didn't even touch the money.
• 3:50
  He had Judas carry the money bag.
• 3:53
  Did Jesus want fame whenever? He did a miracle.
• 3:56
  He told people not to tell anybody what happened.
• 4:01
  When the people went to crowd around him, he tried to find
• 4:04
  ways. To escape these false prophets
• 4:07
  say if you do this, God will do this.
• 4:10
  Years ago I was at some of these meetings.
• 4:14
  People in wheelchairs in the front of the building,
• 4:17
  heartbroken, praying for a miracle or the front man before
• 4:21
  the speaker comes on says, you know, in order for God to move
• 4:24
  today, we have to prove our faith.
• 4:25
  And the way we prove our faith, we're going to take another
• 4:28
  offering. One offering wasn't good enough.
• 4:31
  And if you really want God to move, you have to really give
• 4:34
  everything. You have to show that you
• 4:36
  believe him and you're trusting him.
• 4:38
  I mean, the scam, it's heartbreaking and so.
• 4:42
  The idea is God's a genie in heaven who exists to answer all
• 4:46
  your desires and all your dreams.
• 4:48
  And that's the God in this world.
• 4:50
  Now in the modern church, it's all about an earthly Kingdom,
• 4:54
  not a heavenly Kingdom. What did Jesus say?
• 4:56
  My Kingdom is not of this world. His Kingdom is to come.
• 5:03
  But the modern church is saying no Kingdom now the best car you
• 5:08
  can get. The best house you can get.
• 5:10
  God wants you to prosper and be healthy and well.
• 5:12
  It's all designed to cause people to be prepared for the
• 5:16
  message of the Antichrist, right?
• 5:17
  Because the Antichrist is going to come and promise physical
• 5:21
  prosperity, prosperity on earth. Financial markets will be better
• 5:25
  than ever before. You'll live in conditions that
• 5:28
  you never dreamed possible. It's developing a dream and a
• 5:33
  Nirvana on earth that the world at that time will say this is
• 5:36
  what we've always wanted. And the unfortunate thing is
• 5:39
  that the Christian community is being scammed to be prepared to
• 5:43
  be deluded. Now I believe true Christians,
• 5:45
  by the grace of God will not fall victim to that and they'll
• 5:49
  escape that. There's a time for all of us
• 5:51
  that we're really in Christ and born again, that we'll look at
• 5:54
  the Word of God and we'll. Look at the places.
• 5:57
  We worship and finally say enough is enough.
• 5:59
  This is a lie and will earnestly contend for the faith as Jude.
• 6:04
  Said that was once delivered to the Saints.
• 6:08
  The scams that are. Out there today, the Counterfeit
• 6:10
  Gospels, Dave. Hunt wrote a book years ago
• 6:13
  called The Seduction of Christianity.
• 6:14
  I highly recommend it. Hank Cantigraff wrote a book
• 6:17
  called Christianity in Crisis. It'll give you more.
• 6:20
  Color and more filling in. Regard to names of people false
• 6:24
  prophets their history, their example their.
• 6:28
  Scams and their lies now go to Matthew.
• 6:31
  This is what Jesus says himself in Matthew 2411.
• 6:36
  And he gives the warning. Clearly, he says many false.
• 6:40
  Prophets will rise. Up and deceive many go down to
• 6:44
  23. If anyone says to you look here
• 6:47
  is a Christ or there do not believe it.
• 6:49
  That's what's going to happen when the Antichrist is on the
• 6:51
  earth, the false prophets going to say Christ, Emmanuel is in
• 6:56
  the temple in Jerusalem, go worship him.
• 7:00
  For false. Christs and false prophets will
• 7:02
  rise. And show great signs and wonders
• 7:04
  to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
• 7:07
  It says if possible, the elect, the elect can never be deceived.
• 7:11
  But if it was possible, these scams will be so powerful that
• 7:15
  they'll deceive even. Those that have been chosen by
• 7:18
  God, he says, see, I've told you this beforehand.
• 7:22
  Therefore, if they say to you, look he is in the desert, do not
• 7:25
  go out or look, he is in the inner rooms, do not believe it.
• 7:31
  Now this individual, this Antichrist, if you flip over to
• 7:34
  Matthew 7, this is his persona, his agenda.
• 7:39
  Now a. Lot of people will stand in the
• 7:41
  final. Judgment people that somehow
• 7:46
  thought they were involved in signs and wonders.
• 7:50
  And Jesus says in verse 21, not everyone who says to me, Lord,
• 7:53
  Lord shall enter the Kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will
• 7:57
  of my Father in heaven. It says, many will say to me in
• 8:00
  that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesized in your name,
• 8:04
  cast out demons in your name, and done many wonders in your
• 8:07
  name in verse 23? And then I will declare to them,
• 8:11
  I never knew you, depart from me, you who practice
• 8:15
  lawlessness. Now flip back over to 2nd
• 8:19
  Thessalonians chapter 2. What is lawlessness?
• 8:23
  Second Thessalonians, chapter 2, verse 8.
• 8:27
  It says then the. Lawless one.
• 8:29
  This is referring to the Antichrist.
• 8:30
  He will be revealed. Who the Lord will consume with
• 8:33
  the breath of his mouth, and destroy with the brightness of
• 8:36
  His coming when? Christ comes back, this
• 8:38
  Antichrist. Will be toast.
• 8:40
  Literally. It says the coming of the
• 8:42
  lawless one in verse 9 is, according to the working of
• 8:45
  Satan, with all power signs and lying wonders.
• 8:52
  All power signs and lying wonders the practice of.
• 8:57
  Lawlessness is sin. The continual breaking of God.
• 9:01
  'S commandments. How many people in here remember
• 9:03
  a time when all you wanted to do was sin?
• 9:08
  Anybody remember those days? It, it was easy.
• 9:12
  It came natural. Every day I'll be thinking like,
• 9:14
  what can I do? What kind of evil thing can I do
• 9:16
  today? But to me, evil was good at that
• 9:20
  time that I had a propensity for sin and lawlessness.
• 9:25
  I practice it. I was a devoted follower of
• 9:31
  unrighteousness. My whole life, every day was
• 9:34
  consumed with myself. And what?
• 9:39
  I could get out of this life for me, regardless of who it hurt,
• 9:43
  who it took advantage of, and who I conned or ripped off.
• 9:48
  It says that this Antichrist will be one who continually
• 9:51
  breaks the commandments of God during the end times.
• 9:56
  This is what it's going to be like.
• 9:58
  People will become incapable of even even recognizing error sin.
• 10:02
  Have you met anybody that they don't think there's such a thing
• 10:06
  as sin? You talk to them about sin and
• 10:10
  they look at you like you're from another planet.
• 10:13
  They they don't even have. A conscience to recognize.
• 10:15
  Something as being sinful. It'll be a society that will
• 10:19
  inevitably descend into a vortex of vice, violence and vandalism
• 10:24
  beyond the ability to imagine, let alone control.
• 10:27
  Anybody ever watch that movie Mad Max the Thunderdome?
• 10:30
  Remember that movie? Would you want to live in those
• 10:33
  days? The whole earth was pretty much
• 10:37
  destroyed, right? The people were like animals.
• 10:40
  There was no justice, there was no laws.
• 10:43
  It was complete chaos in the world, and that's what it'll be
• 10:48
  like. Near the time of Christ's
• 10:51
  return. Galatians warns.
• 10:53
  Us of the consequences of practicing sin and lawlessness
• 10:57
  flip over to galatians chapter 5 now we're.
• 11:00
  Reading about the Antichrist. Today and and the False Prophet
• 11:04
  and the dragon the. Unholy Trinity and it's it's
• 11:07
  really easy to get focused. On the the the image of what's.
• 11:11
  Going to transpire and missing out in the practical application
• 11:15
  or what does that mean to you and me today?
• 11:16
  Now in any given audience, I don't care if it's three here
• 11:19
  today or there's 3000. You have believers and
• 11:22
  unbelievers and you have pretenders, and pretenders are
• 11:24
  people that say why believe who? Jesus is and the Bible says,
• 11:28
  well the devil believes and he trembles and yet your.
• 11:32
  Life is habitually still. Involved and practicing
• 11:36
  lawlessness. And Paul writes this to the
• 11:38
  church in Galatia, verse 19 of chapter 5.
• 11:41
  He says the works of the flesh are evident, their adultery,
• 11:47
  fornication, uncleanness and lewdness, idolatry, sorcery,
• 11:51
  hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish
• 11:55
  ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murder,
• 11:59
  drunkenness, reveries and the like, of which I tell you
• 12:01
  beforehand, just as I've told you in time past, that those who
• 12:05
  practice such things will not inherit the Kingdom of God.
• 12:10
  We need to underline that in our Bible.
• 12:12
  You know when Paul says examine yourself, whether you're in the
• 12:14
  faith? I need to examine myself.
• 12:16
  Is my life a life of obedience to Christ in his lordship, or am
• 12:20
  I living in habitual lawlessness?
• 12:23
  In other words, my secret life, my private life?
• 12:25
  If I'm living and breaking God's word day in and day out, doesn't
• 12:30
  matter what I say, I believe, right?
• 12:33
  I'm not going to inherit the. Kingdom of God.
• 12:38
  If you're here today. And you say you're a Christian,
• 12:41
  but you have no. Conscience in breaking the.
• 12:43
  Law of God, His word that you have no conviction of.
• 12:48
  Moral impurity and unholiness and.
• 12:51
  That you live in a way that if you.
• 12:54
  Were in a trial and people. Were going to convict.
• 12:58
  You of evidence there would not be enough evidence to convict
• 13:02
  you that you were a Christian because of.
• 13:06
  The way people see you live the counterfeit in verse 24 it says
• 13:13
  those who are Christ have crucified the flesh with its
• 13:16
  passions and desires if I'm really.
• 13:18
  Christ, I'm not perfect yet and I still sin and you do too.
• 13:24
  But my heart of hearts is that I don't want to sin anymore.
• 13:27
  When I sin it makes me miserable and I I'm not wired to want to
• 13:31
  do that anymore. I have a conscience.
• 13:33
  I have a conviction and that my life now is to continually see
• 13:39
  the power of sin crucified in my life that I don't have the.
• 13:42
  Desire to go get hammered anymore or to go sleep around,
• 13:46
  to be a person that rips off my employer or a person that just
• 13:50
  wants to RIP people off. I don't have that intention
• 13:54
  anymore in my life. And if I still have that
• 13:56
  intention in my life, then I'm still lost, right?
• 14:00
  Because the Bible says if you're in Christ, you've crucified that
• 14:04
  old life. It isn't controlling you
• 14:05
  anymore. The counterfeit of a true
• 14:11
  Christian is someone who practices sin.
• 14:13
  The definition for sin is lawlessness.
• 14:16
  It's the anti God attitude and it results in a habitual
• 14:20
  breaking of God's word and the man of sin.
• 14:24
  This is what he. Does and whenever you and I?
• 14:27
  Break this word of God. It brings guilt to our souls.
• 14:32
  It brings disease to our bodies. It brings disorder and disasters
• 14:36
  of all kinds. When I look at this situation in
• 14:39
  some people's lives of the chaos and the ruin and the the history
• 14:43
  of the aftermath of of this. One horrible thing after
• 14:47
  another. It can't be attributed to
• 14:49
  anything, but what I sow I reap if I sow according to the flesh.
• 14:54
  I'm going to reap according to the flesh and as a young.
• 14:57
  Man, I sowed a lot of sin according to the flesh.
• 15:00
  Christ has forgiven me his, his blood has cleansed me.
• 15:04
  But you know what? I still suffer some of the
• 15:06
  ramifications of what I did in my life, and you do too.
• 15:10
  And that's why you young people, you're here today.
• 15:13
  You're starting out brand new. You don't have to do some of the
• 15:16
  things your dad did. Or your mom did.
• 15:18
  Or your. Grandfather, your grandmother
• 15:19
  did. You can start out and not be
• 15:22
  scarred in your life because of sin.
• 15:26
  I'm in my 50s now and every once in a while I say, man, where'd
• 15:29
  that weed come from? Cindy and I were out like doing
• 15:33
  weeds yesterday and it is like these vines that are growing
• 15:35
  into the grass and I'm like these.
• 15:37
  Obsessive Scots lawn care type person I want nice grass, right
• 15:42
  and I see these weeds, my neighbor's grass, it's a mess
• 15:44
  and and they're coming into our yard and I'm thinking how can he
• 15:47
  let these weeds come in our yard?
• 15:49
  We're like, you know, so we're up there like pulling and
• 15:51
  they're like vines, you know, you start pulling a couple out,
• 15:53
  but then also it's like it's. Big like.
• 15:55
  String and you got to sort of find out where it ends because
• 15:57
  if you just pull like a little part of it, the roots still
• 16:00
  there. And so you got to like really
• 16:01
  work to get that stuff out. And I know we didn't get it all
• 16:04
  out because when we get back from vacation, there's going to
• 16:06
  be more out there. And that's what what sins like
• 16:09
  as you get older, you're. Looking at your beautiful garden
• 16:12
  one day. And you said, boy, it looks
• 16:13
  nice. Flowers and you look.
• 16:15
  Down, man, there's some weeds in there and.
• 16:16
  It's choking, this thing. Out so you reach down you.
• 16:18
  Pull it out. You make sure you get it out of
• 16:20
  the root, you know? But it just seems like the
• 16:23
  garden ever is completely free of weeds.
• 16:25
  Is it? And my life isn't ever
• 16:29
  completely free of the sins that I sowed as a foolish young
• 16:35
  person. And so God shows me those things
• 16:39
  not to haunt me or to condemn me.
• 16:41
  He just says Clark. See that?
• 16:43
  That was sown way back then. This is why you act this way
• 16:46
  when this kind of situation. Comes up or you respond.
• 16:48
  This way, when this circumstance comes up, it's still.
• 16:52
  Rooted. It still has a connection to
• 16:53
  your heart and your mind. And so let's, let's pull it out,
• 16:56
  let's RIP it out, let's take the root out.
• 16:59
  And that's called repentance, right?
• 17:00
  That's constantly recognizing what needs to change from God's
• 17:05
  perspective needs to change. And so I submit, I respond, and
• 17:09
  it's an awesome. Thing when the root is pulled
• 17:11
  out because then I can truly look in the mirror one day and
• 17:14
  say, you know. I don't have that problem
• 17:16
  anymore with that particular sin because God pulled the root out.
• 17:20
  But if I look in the mirror and I know down deep inside that I
• 17:23
  still have a problem with a particular sin in my life, it's
• 17:26
  because I haven't let the Lord pull the root, and it's because
• 17:29
  I still don't want to repent of it because I still take a
• 17:32
  degree. Of pleasure and whatever.
• 17:34
  And we're all in. Process regarding that.
• 17:37
  But the man of sin is the one that is the focal point in the
• 17:41
  sense of what John the Theologian is teaching in
• 17:44
  Revelation 13. Today's emphasis on signs and
• 17:47
  wonders are setting the stage for the worldwide delusion.
• 17:51
  Paul gives us warnings in Second Corinthians about Satan coming
• 17:55
  as an Angel of light to deceive. The very elective possible
• 17:59
  people will look and say, well, this person, they seem so holy
• 18:02
  and look what they're doing and their miracles.
• 18:04
  Don't be shocked that the devil can counterfeit and come as an
• 18:09
  Angel of light, the beast, the earth verse 15 he's the.
• 18:16
  False prophet. And he's gonna have this
• 18:18
  animated image. Are you guys?
• 18:21
  Amazed at what Hollywood can do right now.
• 18:23
  The technology. Anybody been to Disney World and
• 18:26
  MGM Studios? Anybody been there?
• 18:28
  The animated things. I mean, you look at these things
• 18:31
  and they're so real. They move and they talk and, you
• 18:35
  know, they do all this stuff. Well, technologically, now we
• 18:37
  have the capability to set up a. Figure somewhere in the.
• 18:41
  World that will be able to communicate all kind of
• 18:44
  information to. People and he'll be so amazing
• 18:46
  and how he's developed and created, whether it's through
• 18:48
  technology or through lying signs and wonders of the occult.
• 18:53
  He'll be the focal point of the. Worship around the world and
• 18:56
  this individual is going to actually be built, it says, by
• 19:00
  the Antichrist. He's going to give breath to the
• 19:02
  image of the beast, and the image of the beast should both
• 19:05
  speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the
• 19:07
  beast to be killed so. In other words, anybody.
• 19:10
  That is found not worshipping this beast will be destroyed.
• 19:14
  And wiped out the only people that won't worship.
• 19:17
  Him at that time will be people who come to Christ during the
• 19:21
  the time of the the tribulation. And we're told in the scriptures
• 19:27
  to not worship idols. We're warned not to worship
• 19:31
  graven images, and the Antichrist will be the
• 19:35
  abomination of desolation who will set himself up in this
• 19:38
  world as the one who is to be worshipped and not Christ.
• 19:43
  And what's happening now? Like to read something from a
• 19:46
  book? It says the modern progression
• 19:48
  of apocalyptic moods and expectation is bound up with the
• 19:53
  obvious degradation of man's moral state and especially of
• 19:57
  his rulers, and of those rapidly increasing tendencies to
• 20:00
  concentrate political, informational, technological,
• 20:04
  economic and military power in the very tight circle of
• 20:07
  international supermen who are free from moral and other higher
• 20:10
  human sensibilities and motives. A clear picture can be drawn
• 20:14
  from all this and. How A1 world?
• 20:16
  Government could be created, the head of which will be chosen out
• 20:19
  of this band of gods having unlimited computer power, and
• 20:23
  who will establish a universal enslavement of everyone on
• 20:26
  earth, both individually and nationally.
• 20:29
  All this matches perfectly with the apocalyptic prophecies about
• 20:33
  a totalitarian regime under a universal ruler who will call
• 20:37
  himself the Christ and Savior of all mankind.
• 20:40
  The logical outcome of this new. World Order.
• 20:43
  Anybody ever heard that term New World Order?
• 20:45
  Under conditions of spiritual, moral, ecological, energy,
• 20:49
  demographic and other crisis is afflicting the modern world,
• 20:53
  obviously likewise match the meanings of these final events
• 20:56
  in the life of humanity, about which the revelations of John
• 21:00
  the Theologian speak. The terrible destruction of the
• 21:04
  entire planet, I mean. If you look back to what
• 21:07
  computers could do 10 years ago, you would have never dreamed
• 21:10
  they could do what they could do now, right?
• 21:13
  Some of you guys have those phones where you can have those,
• 21:15
  you do the text things, but you can actually have face to face
• 21:17
  conversations, right Online that companies have meetings.
• 21:21
  I have a go to meeting. I have to go do a seminar.
• 21:24
  And I'm sitting there with people all around the United
• 21:26
  States in front of the computer watching this webinar and, and
• 21:29
  now the capability of not any you to watch what they're
• 21:32
  watching what everybody else has.
• 21:34
  Seen but them to see you and when will there will come a time
• 21:37
  and you read it in 1984 Orwell's book right Big Brothers watching
• 21:41
  where every one of us will have to get up in front of our
• 21:44
  computers, which just about everybody has.
• 21:46
  We'll have to be there as a family to to give an account of
• 21:49
  where we are and we'll be told what's going to happen that day.
• 21:52
  Basically, we're going to be instructed, we're going to be.
• 21:54
  Controlled. There's going to be a chip
• 21:56
  either in your hand or in your. Forehead, the revelation says.
• 21:59
  The Commerce will. Not be able to happen without
• 22:02
  the access number of the Mark of the Beast, and it's interesting
• 22:06
  we'll get into this next week that the 666 number is symbolic
• 22:11
  of. Mammon and in.
• 22:13
  Kings it talks about whenever they brought the gold to Solomon
• 22:17
  once a year, the number of the weight of the gold and.
• 22:23
  We'll look into it. Next week was 666.
• 22:28
  And so we're, we're living in fascinating times.
• 22:31
  And, and this, this isn't to pick our ears and say, oh, wow,
• 22:34
  this stuff's cool. It's fascinating.
• 22:35
  It's interesting. The Bible says that we're to
• 22:38
  look up because our redemption draws nigh.
• 22:41
  It says everyone that has this hope in himself purifies himself
• 22:45
  even as they as he is pure. So if we study this stuff and we
• 22:48
  don't have any kind of. Sensitivity that Where is my
• 22:51
  life today in light of these things that are eventually going
• 22:54
  to come upon the world? What about my children, my
• 22:57
  grandchildren, my relatives, my neighbors?
• 23:00
  Is my heart broken over people who are going to be deceived?
• 23:04
  It's bad enough to lose someone today that doesn't know Christ
• 23:08
  right and they're in hell forever.
• 23:12
  But it's even more incomprehensible to think about
• 23:14
  all the people in your sphere of influence today that have no
• 23:18
  knowledge of the truth. The people you work with every
• 23:21
  day that if Christ comes and we're raptured out of here and
• 23:27
  they're left on the earth, they were going to face these things.
• 23:30
  And chances are most of them are going to worship the beast that
• 23:35
  should disturb us. If it doesn't, then we got hard
• 23:40
  hearts and we can't reach everybody in the world.
• 23:43
  I got a sphere of influence. You do.
• 23:45
  Too. Your influence is yours.
• 23:47
  Mine's mine, but I'll tell you wherever God has put us.
• 23:50
  Guys, it's for such. A time as this it really is.
• 23:54
  Amen. This has been Living Waters of
• 23:59
  Grace with Pastor Clark. We're going through the
• 24:01
  challenging and also intriguing Book of Revelation.
• 24:05
  Whether you're a fan of reading ahead in books of fiction,
• 24:08
  there's such a benefit to reading ahead in the Bible to
• 24:11
  read about how it all ends. But in an interesting turn of
• 24:15
  events, the Book of Revelation is not really the end, but
• 24:20
  rather the beginning. It's the end of life as we know
• 24:23
  it here on earth, but there's so much to look forward to for what
• 24:28
  comes after all the judgement of the earth and those who reject
• 24:31
  God. There's a lot to work through,
• 24:34
  and it can be heartbreaking to read through the intense
• 24:38
  judgments and wrath that will come on those who hate God with
• 24:42
  all their might. The thing is, God has given
• 24:45
  chance upon chance to these people.
• 24:47
  They don't want it. So the outcome is that there are
• 24:51
  judgments and consequences for those who've rejected the good
• 24:55
  news and the gift of salvation that's offered through Jesus's
• 24:59
  death and resurrection. Are you one who has heard about
• 25:03
  these things but doesn't really want it because you want to live
• 25:07
  life on your terms? Trust me, living for Jesus is so
• 25:13
  much better. That doesn't mean it will be
• 25:15
  easy, but as you listen and read through Revelation with us,
• 25:19
  you'll come to a stark realization that you don't want
• 25:22
  to be on earth when the apocalypse happens.
• 25:26
