Horrendous things that this. World tries to throw.

At us God we. Count the cost, Lord, we take up
2:47

2:50
We are just asking for a. Greater measure of.
2:53
Peace and a greater measure. Of.

Of the little children God, I pray that you'll break down all
3:29
opposition, all of the. Schemes of the enemy God bind
3:33

3:35
And cast. Them into the judgment you have

The. Fiery darts, God, we resist.
3:52
Him Father we. Use Scripture today.
3:56
To combat all of his schemes, Lord, we stand firm, we stand
4:01
fast on all the promises. That you gave us.
4:04
Contained from Genesis. To Revelation God, I pray in the
4:08
name of Jesus that you'll help us not to grow weary in doing
4:12
good. Help us to continue down this
4:15
path. That you have marked out for us
4:17
continue to be a. Light unto our.
4:19
Feet. Lord, I pray that you will lead
4:23
us in. Paths of righteousness.
4:26
God, I pray that we will know our worth and know our.
4:29
Dignity and know our inheritance and.
4:32
Know that we've been adopted and we cry out.
4:35
ABBA Father, thank you Lord, for all the things that you do.
4:42
Thank you for everything that you have already done.
4:46
We love you. We serve you.
4:50
We worship you. Send Jesus.
4:53
Christ, holy and precious name that I.
4:55
Pray. Amen.
5:00
Let's. Start in verse one.
5:06
Furthermore. Then we beg you.
5:11
Brothers and exhort you. By the Lord Jesus.
5:17
That as you have. Received of us how you ought to.
5:22
Walk and to please. God, so you would.
5:28
Abound more and more. So.
5:32
Paul is not too. Proud to beg he's.
5:34
Saying, I beg you to get it. Right, I beg.
5:38
You to. Come into this reality to not
5:44
let the. Deceiver.
5:47
Deceive. You of any of the fullness.
5:49
That God. Has.
5:50
For you Paul is desirous for. Them in thessalonica and by the
5:57
strength of. Jesus Christ he is.
6:02
Wanting them to receive. How they ought to walk.
6:07
And how they ought to please God, and so he can see that as
6:11
they. Walk uprightly.
6:13
And as they do the things that God requires of them, they will
6:18
abound more and more in the knowledge of grace.
6:22
And truth and love. Friends.
6:25
To for you know. What commandments we?
6:29
Gave you. By the Lord.
6:31
Jesus. So we know that all of the law.
6:37
Was fulfilled. In the life.
6:39
Of Jesus Christ and he. Did not come to abolish the law.
6:43
But to fulfill it. And so.
6:46
Here we can see. These commandments that are
6:48
given. By the.
6:49
Lord Jesus Christ is to. Love one another and he is
6:56
telling and he is reminding them that love covers a multitude.
7:00
Of sins 3 for this. Is the will of God.
7:04
Even your sanctification that. You should.
7:08
Abstain from fornication, so Paul's going to strike a nerve.
7:14
Here. In this.
7:17
Current culture that the. Thessalonians were living in It
7:22
was not much different than the culture that you and I live in,
7:27
friends, where sexual immorality is rampant.
7:32
And it is celebrated and the looseness and the perversity is
7:41
at an all time high, friends. And we can.
7:43
See that Paul's words here? To the Thessalonians are very
7:50
much applicable. To.
7:53
Our current day and age. So he's telling them to stay.
7:57
Away. From fornication this porneia
8:00
friends, it is not from God. This is a.
8:05
Trickery and. Deception of the enemy to entice
8:08
us in our flesh, and entice us in the eyes, friends.
8:14
And we are LED astray when He puts the ring in our nose, and
8:18
He. Pulls us off.
8:20
Into the pit of. Despair.
8:21
When we become despondent and disconnected.
8:24
When we see our consciences and grieve the Holy Ghost.
8:29
And we're no longer. Receiving these transmissions
8:33
from headquarters. God desires for us.
8:37
To. Resist the enemy.
8:40
To flee. From sexual immorality friends,
8:43
it is not becoming of a St. To be steeped.
8:47
In the reprobate mind, friends, And that is how the enemy gets
8:52
us. He masquerades himself as an
8:56
Angel. Of light he.
8:58
Comes in the form of beauty and it seems as if.
9:02
You're going to get away with it.
9:03
And he whispers to you. Go ahead and do it.
9:06
No one will know but the moment that you.
9:09
Do it. He screams, look at you,
9:14
everybody knows and God doesn't want to have anything to do with
9:18
you and he. Sows those seeds of lies.
9:22
And deceit into the Saints mind and gets us to downward spiral
9:28
even into more and more and more of a reprobate mind.
9:33
And that is? What you need to know?
9:35
That from the outset. We are dead to that, and that is
9:38
dead to. Us ask God Almighty to take it
9:43
from you ask God Almighty to allow you to have the strength
9:48
to make. It through the battle.
9:50
And just remember. That the battle is won or lost
9:54
in the mind 1st and that is why it is so important to to be
9:59
transformed by the renewing of your mind and letting the.
10:02
Words of life wash. Over your mind.
10:06
And that is what we meditate upon.
10:08
We don't meditate upon the things of this world.
10:11
Because they will lead. Us astray.
10:14
And Paul here is very adamant to tell them and to tell us that it
10:19
is not becoming of a St. to be steeped in.
10:22
Fornication 4. That everyone of you should know
10:33
how to. Possess his vessel.
10:37
In sanctification and honor. We need.
10:42
To. Have.
10:43
Control of the steed we do not need.
10:47
To let. This valiant steed run loose and
10:52
wild. Friends have full control over
10:56
your mind and over your members and over your body and over your
11:02
actions. And it will lead to honor.
11:05
And it will. Lead to.
11:06
Becoming more and more. Like Jesus Christ today.
11:10
Than you were yesterday and that is his goal and that is his aim
11:14
is to get. Us ready for?
11:17
All of eternity, friends and he. Uses the here.
11:24
And the now to get us to understand just how important.
11:28
It is to resist. The enemy and to flee from
11:33
sexual impurity. 5. Not in the.
11:43
Lust of concupiscence, even. As the Gentiles which know not.
11:51
God. So this is a lusting that is
11:57
uncontrollable that marked the life of someone who did not know
12:03
God. They were like animals in their
12:06
instincts. And Paul here is reminding us.
12:10
That we are called to. Higher ground that we are not
12:14
to. Behave like little.
12:16
Children, we are not. To behave like.
12:19
Women, and we are not. To behave like.
12:22
The animal who? Just does whatever his lustful
12:28
members desire we are. To only allow ourselves.
12:36
To. Have.
12:38
Any kind of relations within the holiness of the marriage, bed,
12:44
friends, nothing outside of marriage.
12:47
And that is God's plan, and that is.
12:49
God's will. And it is pleasing to him when
12:52
the marriage bed is kept holy, and made holy friends six that
13:01
no man go beyond, and. Defraud his.
13:05
Brother in any matter. Because that the.
13:10
Lord is the Avenger. Of all such as we also have.
13:16
Forewarned you and testified it is not pleasing to God whenever
13:23
we uncover the nakedness of another that is not.
13:28
Our spouse. And whether it be?
13:30
With the eyes. Or whether it.
13:32
Be in the reality. In the physical friends it is
13:36
not of. God for us to.
13:39
Live in a manner. That is apart.
13:42
From the holiness of the marriage bed friends.
13:44
And that is what Paul wants them to understand.
13:47
Is that God will? Avenge.
13:50
The brother whose wife? Has been coveted and he told us
13:57
all the way back in the Old Testament when he was giving us
14:01
all of the 10 commandments that we do not need to.
14:04
Covet our neighbor's. Wife and Paul here is adamant
14:09
about. Telling them that God.
14:11
Sees it, and God will in due time.
14:14
Deal with it. And he is forewarning us, and he
14:21
is testifying to the. Facts. 7 For God has not called
14:26
us. Unto.
14:28
Uncleanness, but unto holiness. Be holy.
14:33
Because he is holy. Do not be steeped in all of the.
14:37
Perversity. Do not be steeped in the
14:42
immorality. Do not be steeped in the
14:45
culture. That says it's OK.
14:47
And that there's nothing wrong with it and we have these
14:50
supercomputers in our pockets. That we can look.
14:53
Up anything, anywhere and. We have access to.
14:57
Some of the most. Filthy things that have ever
15:01
even been imagined, and we're inventing new ways to sin and
15:06
God says flee from that, get away from that.
15:09
That is not becoming of a St. and God.
15:12
Can rescue you and. Deliver you from that spirit of
15:16
perversity, friends, Ask God Almighty to help.
15:20
You to get through. Any of it and to.
15:23
Leave your. Coat in the hand.
15:25
Of the adulteress. And flee from that house.
15:29
Do not. Even go near the door.
15:31
Friends, sin is crouching at your door, but you must master
15:35
it. Eight.
15:40
He therefore that despises, despises not man.
15:45
But God, who has? Also given.
15:49
Us, His Holy Spirit. So this is a grave warning,
15:55
friends. Is that whenever?
15:58
We are. Slanderous and backbiting
16:02
whenever we are negative, whenever we are gossiping about.
16:10
Our brother we are. Gossiping.
16:13
About the Holy Ghost. That is indwelling that brother,
16:16
and God sees it, and God hears it and.
16:19
God will deal. With it in due time 9 but as
16:24
touching. Brotherly love you need.
16:26
Not that I write. Unto you, for you yourselves
16:29
are. Taught of God to love one
16:32
another, that is. All of the.
16:36
Requirements of the law are. Wrapped.
16:37
Up in loving God. With all your heart and mind and
16:40
strength and loving our neighbor.
16:42
As our self. Everything will take.
16:44
Care of itself. Beyond that, if we'll stay in
16:47
that vein, then we can walk in the spirit and we will not
16:51
satisfy. The lust of the flesh. 10 And
16:57
indeed you do it. Towards.
17:02
All the brothers which? Are in all Macedonia.
17:06
But we beg you. Brothers that you?
17:09
Increase more and more. We never get to a point where we
17:13
arrive on this side of glory, friends, there is much more to
17:17
attain to. But some of us get.
17:20
Stagnant. Some of us spin our wheels.
17:24
Some of us. Are just comfortable.
17:26
In the level that we have. Attained to and we.
17:29
Think that we're. Good to go.
17:33
And that we don't need to keep pressing.
17:36
But Paul here is reminding us, and he is reminding this.
17:40
Church here at Thessalonica. To continue to be sanctified, Do
17:46
not get comfortable, friends. It's not about comfort.
17:50
It's not about. Pleasure.
17:52
It's all about. Being made more and more.
17:56
Like Jesus Christ each. And every day.
17:59
And if you woke up this morning, he's not done with you.
18:03
He has greater things for you. Greater things have yet to come,
18:09
friends, and they will be done by him and through him and to
18:13
him. Praise God, Hallelujah, increase
18:19
more and more He's begging them. 11 and that.
18:25
You study to be. Quiet and to.
18:31
Do your own business. And to work with your own hands
18:40
as we commanded. You.
18:42
You could avoid SO. Much controversy, so much
18:46
strife. Friends, if you would learn
18:49
these principles. To.
18:50
Work an honest. Living to work.
18:53
With your hands to not try to get over on people.
18:57
To not try to. Swindle people to not.
18:59
Try to make fast, easy money to not ask for a handout but to.
19:04
Actually. Work with your hands.
19:06
To live. A quiet life not.
19:09
To be a busy. Body and a gossiper, one that.
19:11
Stirs the pot. Friends not to be one who talks
19:16
trash. About people.
19:18
It is not becoming of a St. to be in the limelight and to seek
19:23
attention and to always be the one who is stirring up
19:27
controversy and discord amongst brethren.
19:31
That is not from God, and that is something that God.
19:34
Hates. Friends.
19:35
We need to live. An honest and earnest life and
19:41
we need to make sure that we mind our own business friends
19:46
and not stick our nose in places that they don't belong and we
19:50
would keep ourselves from a lot of turmoil and a lot of
19:53
arguments and a. Lot of the.
19:57
Things that plague the people who don't understand.
20:00
These very basic principles. Be quick to listen.
20:08
Be slow to speak and be slow to. Anger. 12.
20:18
That you may walk. Honestly.
20:21
Toward. Them that are without and that
20:24
you may have lack of nothing. So this is what you.
20:28
Need to understand this little basic principle here.
20:32
Verse 11 equals verse. 12, if you will.
20:37
Stay quiet, mind your own business, work with your own
20:41
hands. Then you will walk honestly and
20:45
the people. That are outside of the fold of
20:48
Jesus. Christ will actually find.
20:51
It very attractive. And they will come in in droves.
20:56
But when the inside. Of the fold.
20:59
When the church looks no different than the world, then
21:02
the world looks on and mocks and sneers and jeers and laughs and
21:07
they see nothing different in US.
21:11
And so there is. Nothing attractive to the.
21:14
Life of a believer. But he is saying here.
21:17
If we. Work honestly and earnestly with
21:20
our hands and we mind our own business, friends and we.
21:24
Study to be quiet. Then.
21:27
The world will look. On and they will.
21:29
Desire to have the life. That you and I.
21:32
Are privileged to live and to lead.
21:35
Friends, and he is telling us. That, if we will.
21:37
Do that we will. Have everything that we need.
21:41
We will lack nothing. We will not be like the.
21:43
Sluggard who puts? His hand in the bowl.
21:46
But it's too lazy. To lift it.
21:48
To his mouth 13. But I would not.
21:54
Have you to be ignorant brothers concerning them?
21:58
Which are asleep. That you sorrow not even as
22:04
others which. Have no hope.
22:06
We are taught not to mourn like the.
22:08
Rest of the world who have no hope.
22:11
When people pass away, friends, the Bible.
22:14
Is very clear to. To be absent from the body.
22:17
Is to be present with the Lord, he told.
22:19
The thief on the. Cross today.
22:22
You will be with me in paradise. He is the alpha.
22:26
And the Omega, he's the beginning and the end.
22:29
And we? Are seated.
22:31
With him in heavenly. Places, Friends.
22:34
And so there is some rich, rich clarity that he is going to.
22:42
Start to tell us about here in this little section and this is
22:48
the. Calling out.
22:49
Of the Church. This is the rapture of the
22:52
Church. Calling up and calling out
22:56
friends of the Saints who finished this race well, and we
23:01
know based upon the. Authority of Scripture.
23:04
That this is an. Event that will happen.
23:08
This is not science fiction, friends.
23:11
This is the. Reality.
23:13
And God was well. Pleased to reveal it to us.
23:16
So that we will not be ignorant of it, friends.
23:20
And Paul many times has said. That he does.
23:24
Not want us to be ignorant. He doesn't want us to be
23:27
ignorant about Israel. He does not want us to be
23:30
ignorant. About spiritual gifts, he.
23:33
Does not want us to be ignorant. About the rapture of the Church.
23:38
Friends 14 for if we. Believe that Jesus died.
23:49
And rose again, Even so them also which sleep in Jesus.
23:56
Will God? Bring with him.
23:59
So this is not propagating the. Heresy.
24:03
Of soul sleep, friends, because to be absent.
24:07
From the body. Is to be present with the Lord.
24:10
So we. Can debate and conjecture about
24:16
what kind of body we receive upon death.
24:20
But we know that. We are not in some suspended
24:24
state of animation until we receive.
24:27
Our resurrected bodies. And we also know.
24:30
That if we die. It is.
24:32
Far better it is. For gain and it.
24:36
Is paradise to? Die as a St. and here he's going
24:40
to paint us a. Beautiful picture of what it
24:43
looks. Like when he comes.
24:44
Back that the. Dead in.
24:46
Christ will rise first. And that they will.
24:51
Receive their immortal bodies. And then those of us.
24:55
Who are living will. Receive our.
24:57
Immortal bodies and every generation from.
25:01
Jesus Christ, until now. Has.
25:03
All had this blessed. Hope and this assurance and.
25:07
Rightfully so. It does not matter what
25:10
generation you belong to. You should want.
25:15
This and desire this and this is not some cop.
25:19
Out escapist theology. That just.
25:22
Says let the world get a little bit worse.
25:24
And we're going to go on into glory, friends.
25:27
We have much. Work to do while we are here.
25:30
And we're going. To see the outer.
25:32
Bands of the travail of the woman giving birth before the
25:37
head crowns and the child comes. You need to know.
25:41
That you are not exempt from all the outer bands.
25:44
Before. Tribulation comes this
25:46
seven-year time that will be. Worse than it's ever.
25:49
Been since the beginning of time friends.
25:52
It'll be hell on earth and if God.
25:54
Had not shortened those days. No one would survive.
25:57
But you need to know it is God's.
26:01
Wonderful, beautiful, amazing. Character to rescue those before
26:06
the wrath to. Come you.
26:08
Saw it with Noah. Right before the flood.
26:11
Came he put them in the. Ark we need to get.
26:13
In Christ you saw it with Lot. Right before he rained.
26:18
Down fire and brimstone, he pulled Lot and his two
26:22
daughters. Out of that place, friends, and
26:25
you need. To know it is God's nature and
26:28
based upon. Revelation chapter 3, verse 10.
26:31
He's going to. Keep us from the hour that is
26:35
coming to test all the inhabitants of the earth.
26:39
That is. God's nature, friends, and we do
26:42
not need to divide. And split hairs over.
26:45
What is plain and what is black and white in the?
26:48
Word of God, read it for yourself.
26:51
And see. That God is well pleased to
26:55
rescue his church. From the coming of the
27:00
seven-year tribulation, friends, it is as simple as.
27:06
Your AB CS read. It it's black and white and.
27:10
We need to know. There are a lot of people who
27:13
are mixed up and turned around and they are looking at all the
27:16
different times. That the Bible mentions.
27:19
Rapture. The Bible mentions this.
27:23
Calling up and out friends and how many times?
27:26
People get turned around. With the trumpets and with the
27:31
resurrections. And they get all mixed up in
27:34
their. Theology.
27:35
But it could not. Be any more plain based upon.
27:40
The scriptures that we read. That God has left.
27:43
To us 15 For this we say unto you.
27:55
By the word of the. Lord that we which?
27:59
Are alive and remain. Unto the coming.
28:04
Of the. Lord shall not.
28:06
Prevent them, which are. Asleep.
28:09
The dead will rise 1st and then the living friends and we will
28:13
go to be with him in the clouds forever more.
28:17
We will not. Leave his side from that point
28:20
forward 16. For the Lord Himself.
28:25
Shall descend from heaven. With a.
28:28
Shout, and with the voice of the Archangel, and with the trump of
28:34
God and the dead in Christ. Shall rise first look at how.
28:39
Jesus is coming back and just. As whenever Paul was radically.
28:47
Changed on the road to. Damascus, but those.
28:51
That were with him only. Perceived a sound they did not.
28:55
Hear the. Voice, It'll be very.
28:57
Similar whenever. The church is.
28:59
Called up and out. Of this world, the.
29:02
World will know that. Something has happened whenever
29:07
there are so many. People that are.
29:09
Gone, and it'll be explained away by SO.
29:12
Many of the deceptions and the. Trickery of the Antichrist.
29:16
And the beast that. Comes on the scene friends and
29:19
you can see it all shaping up today and we look forward to
29:26
this blessed moment friends, and it could happen at any time.
29:31
There is nothing that is. Standing in between this event
29:35
friends and us today 17 then we. Which are alive.
29:42
And remain shall be caught up. Together.
29:48
With them in the clouds. To meet the Lord.
29:52
In the air and. So shall we ever be.
29:58
With the Lord. There are a lot.
30:00
Of people who will. Try.
30:05
To tear down this whole. Idea of a rapture.
30:09
And they will say that the word rapture doesn't even appear in
30:13
the Bible. But I want.
30:15
You to know. That this caught.
30:17
Up. Here in verse 17.
30:20
Is where we get the. Doctrine of the Rapture.
30:28
Friends, it is just caught up. That's all it means, friends.
30:32
That is synonymous with rapture. It is the same word.
30:37
Friends Caught up and Rapture are the same word.
30:42
So you need to know. That you could even.
30:45
Replace it and say. Do you?
30:47
Believe in the caught up. And people will.
30:49
Look at you. Strange, but it is the exact
30:52
same. There are so many.
30:53
People who are deceived. By the enemy, and the enemy has
30:58
put the. Wool over their eyes.
31:00
And they have not. Yet to receive this.
31:06
Wonderful, amazing, incredible truth.
31:12
And they are still steeped in the.
31:14
Ways of the world and they are deceived.
31:17
Friends. 17 Then we. Which are.
31:23
Alive and shall remain, shall be.
31:26
Caught up together. What a beautiful.
31:28
Verse And we will be with him in the clouds to meet him in the
31:32
air. Imagine that if the.
31:34
Bible had not. Made it so plain this would seem
31:38
silly and this would seem as. If it is.
31:42
Some kind of science fiction novel Friends.
31:45
But we can trust. It we can build our life on it
31:48
we. Can know that we know that we
31:50
know that we know. That we will be caught up.
31:54
With Jesus Christ. In the clouds we will meet him
31:58
in the air, friends. And we will receive our rewards.
32:02
And come back with Him in glory. 18 will end here.
32:06
Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
32:10
How much comfort is it in knowing?
32:15
That. We're going to go.
32:16
See Jesus Christ, Period. That should be.
32:19
The comfort that we have, it's not even that we're going to
32:23
escape all the things that are going to happen, friends, that's
32:27
not the comfort that we have. It is the comfort of knowing.
32:32
That we're going to. Receive immortal bodies and
32:37
we're going to. See our Lord Jesus Christ and.
32:41
We're going to. Take off this earthly.
32:42
Tent that is corruptible and we're going to put on the
32:46
incorruptible body. Friends that never fades, it
32:51
never grows old, it never has disease.
32:55
Friends, he's going to wipe. Away every tear.
33:02
What an amazing. Truth.
33:04
The Word of God wants us to know about and it breaks.
33:12
My heart to see. How many people are turned
33:14
around on the very? Basic principle.
33:20
And I believe. That it is the.
33:21
Enemy who has blinded them. To the very, very, very easy
33:30
truth of what the Word of God says.
33:34
And this is not based upon being weak and wanting.
33:43
To escape. All of the.
33:47
Tragedies, we're going. To have to see all the way up.
33:50
To the culminating moment and it is going to be unbearable
33:56
without the indwelling of the holy.
33:59
Spirit. But during the seven-year time,
34:03
Israel will admit. That Jesus Christ.
34:07
Is their Messiah, and that is something that we can hope.
34:11
For. And we long.
34:13
For Israel to see Jesus. As their Messiah.
34:17
Praise God for that. What an amazing truth.
34:20
What an amazing fact. We love our Lord.
34:24
Jesus Christ. We're so thankful.
34:28
For these words given to us. To comfort us and I would
34:32
admonish every single person. Who reads these words to comfort
34:39
others? No matter how unpopular it is,
34:42
just know. That it is.
34:45
A tactic of the enemy for us not to comfort each other.
34:49
With these words. For us to remain silent because
34:53
the enemy has blinded so many people.
34:56
Even those. Who call themselves believers.
34:59
Who call themselves Christians, but they are have been blinded
35:03
from a very simple truth and it is sad.
35:09
I hope you've been. Comforted by this chapter?
35:20
I know I sure have. I'm praying for every single one
35:28
of you. I love you.
35:39
So does God. God bless you.
35:47
I'll see you back here tomorrow.
