- 32:16Speaker 7: In the Book of two Timothy, chapter number four, in
- 32:20Speaker 7: verse one, I charge thee therefore, before God and the
- 32:26Speaker 7: Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the
- 32:31Speaker 7: dead at his appearing and his kingdom, preach the word
- 32:36Speaker 7: be instant in season, out of cease, and reprove, rebuke,
- 32:40Speaker 7: exhort with.
- 32:41Speaker 3: All long suffering and doctrine.
- 32:44Speaker 7: For the time will come when they will not endure
- 32:47Speaker 7: sound doctrine. But after their own loss, shall they heap
- 32:52Speaker 7: to themselves teachers having itching ears, They shall turn away
- 32:57Speaker 7: their ears from the truth.
- 32:59Speaker 3: And shall I'll be turned unto fables.
- 33:03Speaker 7: But watch thou in all things indoor afflictions do the
- 33:07Speaker 7: work of an evangelist make full proof of thy ministry.
- 33:13Speaker 7: Now our text verses will be six, seven, and eight.
- 33:16Speaker 7: But I just enjoyed reading them Verse seven or five verses.
- 33:21Speaker 3: Amen.
- 33:22Speaker 7: In verse number six, the Apostles said, for I am
- 33:26Speaker 7: now ready to be offered. The time of my departure
- 33:32Speaker 7: is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I
- 33:35Speaker 7: have finished my course. I have kept the faith. Henceforth
- 33:41Speaker 7: there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness,
- 33:45Speaker 7: which the Lord, the Righteous Judge, shall give me at
- 33:48Speaker 7: that day. And not to me only, but unto all
- 33:52Speaker 7: them also that love his appearing. Let me draw your
- 33:57Speaker 7: attention to something I may not get to it this morning.
- 34:01Speaker 7: In that last sentence, the Bible said in that eighth verse,
- 34:07Speaker 7: unto them all them also that love.
- 34:13Speaker 3: His appearing.
- 34:14Speaker 7: It didn't say to them that look for his appearing,
- 34:18Speaker 7: but for all them that love his appearing. Can I
- 34:23Speaker 7: tell you quickly this morning that we should love him? Amen?
- 34:28Speaker 7: We should love the things of God and especially his
- 34:33Speaker 7: glorious coming, For in that hour we shall be changed,
- 34:38Speaker 7: even though we don't know what we shall be like
- 34:40Speaker 7: when we see him, when he shall appear, we shall
- 34:44Speaker 7: be like him, and we should love the things of
- 34:48Speaker 7: God very quickly. We should love his word right amen.
- 34:53Speaker 7: We should love our Bible, we should love to pray, Amen,
- 34:59Speaker 7: we should love to pray, and we should love His
- 35:04Speaker 7: house Amen, and not have so much love for the
- 35:08Speaker 7: world that we do for Him.
- 35:11Speaker 3: All right.
- 35:12Speaker 7: Just wanted to say that, bow your heads with me,
- 35:14Speaker 7: and let's pray our heavenly Father. We come here this
- 35:18Speaker 7: morning again as humble as we know how to pray,
- 35:22Speaker 7: and we ask Father, in this hour God, for the
- 35:26Speaker 7: next few moments, you would be our preacher, God, that
- 35:29Speaker 7: we might just be hidden in the cross, that your
- 35:33Speaker 7: word might find lodging in our hearts and help us
- 35:37Speaker 7: to find our place. And Father, above all things, if
- 35:43Speaker 7: we're here today and we are not a Christian, God,
- 35:47Speaker 7: that you would speak to us that we may be
- 35:50Speaker 7: saved this hour. And our Father, we ask your blessings
- 35:55Speaker 7: upon all those that listen, those that are here, those
- 35:59Speaker 7: that listen way of radio and live stream or YouTube,
- 36:03Speaker 7: however they are tuning in. We pray that you would
- 36:07Speaker 7: bless the listener and may the word find a way
- 36:11Speaker 7: into all of our hearts. And for everything that you do,
- 36:16Speaker 7: we will thank you in Jesus' name.
- 36:20Speaker 3: Amen.
- 36:22Speaker 7: Today I read to you the Apostle Paul's last testimony.
- 36:29Speaker 7: This is Paul's swan song. He's getting ready to be beheaded,
- 36:34Speaker 7: and very soon he will be in the presence of
- 36:38Speaker 7: the Lord. I began to think about this yesterday evening,
- 36:42Speaker 7: and during the night I waken several times, and it
- 36:48Speaker 7: was always on my mind about going home to see
- 36:52Speaker 7: the Lord and my departure time that is at hand.
- 36:57Speaker 7: And the Apostle Paul, as he was leaving this world,
- 37:01Speaker 7: he left us these words I have, he said, for
- 37:05Speaker 7: I am now ready to be offered, and the time
- 37:09Speaker 7: of my departure is at hand. He said, I have
- 37:12Speaker 7: fought a good faith, I have finished my course. I
- 37:16Speaker 7: have kept the faith and that wonderful one. And he
- 37:20Speaker 7: goes on to say that there is a crown hencefor
- 37:24Speaker 7: there is a crown laid up for me and for
- 37:28Speaker 7: all those that love his appearing. I got to thinking
- 37:33Speaker 7: about these verses, and I thought about that phrase, for
- 37:38Speaker 7: I am now ready to be offered the time of
- 37:42Speaker 7: my departure.
- 37:44Speaker 3: This morning, for a few.
- 37:45Speaker 7: Minutes, I want to speak to you on the subject
- 37:49Speaker 7: of departure time.
- 37:52Speaker 3: On our time of departure.
- 37:55Speaker 7: I looked up that word, and I don't know if
- 37:58Speaker 7: you remember when Aaron Johnson was here and would sing
- 38:03Speaker 7: and she would sing a song when it's my time?
- 38:07Speaker 3: Do you know that we all have a time of departure?
- 38:13Speaker 7: When I began to study on this thought, I looked
- 38:15Speaker 7: up that I knowed, I knew what it meant, but
- 38:18Speaker 7: it said departure time refers to a specific time in
- 38:25Speaker 7: which a flight, a train, or other form of transportation
- 38:30Speaker 7: is scheduled to leave its origin station or terminal.
- 38:36Speaker 4: Now listen.
- 38:37Speaker 7: This time is fixed by a transport operator, and it
- 38:44Speaker 7: critical for travelers to note that it dictates when they
- 38:49Speaker 7: should be at the departure point to commit their journey.
- 38:55Speaker 7: Do you know that each one of us has a
- 39:00Speaker 7: harsher time and it is important that we know who
- 39:04Speaker 7: the transport operator is.
- 39:08Speaker 3: I'm glad this morning that I know who Jesus is. Amen.
- 39:15Speaker 7: I don't just know about him. I just haven't heard
- 39:18Speaker 7: about him. I just haven't read about him or somebody
- 39:23Speaker 7: told me about him. But may I say I know
- 39:26Speaker 7: him personally as my Lord and my savior. He is
- 39:33Speaker 7: the transport operator. And by the way, friends, listen, it
- 39:38Speaker 7: is critical.
- 39:40Speaker 3: That you know this, that you know who he is.
- 39:44Speaker 7: For the Bible said that in Hebrews nine twenty seven,
- 39:49Speaker 7: it said that there is a appointed time. Do you
- 39:54Speaker 7: realize that you have a departure time? Do you realize
- 39:59Speaker 7: that God has appointed a time that we're.
- 40:04Speaker 3: Gonna leave here God?
- 40:06Speaker 7: The Bible said God at a point of the time
- 40:09Speaker 7: that we all will die unto men wants to die.
- 40:13Speaker 3: And then after this the judgment. I thought this morning
- 40:20Speaker 3: that death and dying is a terrible thing.
- 40:25Speaker 7: But something even more terrible than to die is to
- 40:29Speaker 7: die a sinner and meet God as a lost person.
- 40:36Speaker 7: But we all have a time of departure, a time appointed.
- 40:43Speaker 7: I thought that the Bible talks about this. It talks
- 40:47Speaker 7: about a time that one of two things is going
- 40:51Speaker 7: to happen to every one of you.
- 40:54Speaker 3: Number one, We're either gonna go out by the way
- 40:57Speaker 3: of the grave.
- 41:01Speaker 7: That will meet our final appointment in the great end
- 41:07Speaker 7: of life, or we're going to meet God at the
- 41:11Speaker 7: great rapture of the church. You say, now, preacher, wait
- 41:15Speaker 7: a minute, do you really believe in a rapture all?
- 41:20Speaker 7: With every ounce of me, I believe that the Lord
- 41:24Speaker 7: is coming. The Bible said, he would not have you
- 41:29Speaker 7: to be ignorant, brethren concerning them which our sleep, For
- 41:34Speaker 7: the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with the shall
- 41:39Speaker 7: with the voice of the Archange, on the trump of God,
- 41:43Speaker 7: and the.
- 41:43Speaker 3: Dead in Christ shall rise first.
- 41:45Speaker 7: Then we which are live and remain shall be caught
- 41:49Speaker 7: up to meet the Lord in the air. That i'd
- 41:53Speaker 7: excite some of you all to know that the Lord
- 41:57Speaker 7: is coming back and he's going to rapture. He's going
- 42:02Speaker 7: to lift us up from this old planet and take
- 42:07Speaker 7: us on to Heaven. So I got to thinking about
- 42:10Speaker 7: a departure time, and I want to give you a
- 42:13Speaker 7: couple of things if I can to maybe help you
- 42:18Speaker 7: and help you to understand. The first thing the Bible said,
- 42:25Speaker 7: I am now ready. Do you know it's important that
- 42:28Speaker 7: you be ready to go? And not only that you're ready,
- 42:33Speaker 7: that you're ready to go right now. Yesterday I had
- 42:38Speaker 7: stood before a great crowd of people as we sent
- 42:42Speaker 7: our final goodbyes to my dear sweet uncle, and I
- 42:46Speaker 7: looked at over that massive people, and I thought, how
- 42:51Speaker 7: important it is that people be ready to meet God.
- 42:57Speaker 3: You see, my uncle was doing well.
- 43:00Speaker 7: Line never took appeal at eighty two years old, and
- 43:05Speaker 7: last Wednesday night, just out of nowhere, he woke up
- 43:11Speaker 7: feeling pressure, and he ressed his arms and in his face,
- 43:17Speaker 7: and in a matter of moments he left this world
- 43:23Speaker 7: to meet God.
- 43:25Speaker 3: Now I begin to think about how important it is
- 43:29Speaker 3: that we are ready to meet God. Not thinking about
- 43:33Speaker 3: getting ready, but we be ready right now.
- 43:36Speaker 7: Do you know there are many people about everybody that
- 43:43Speaker 7: I visit and talked to, They'll say to me things like, pastor,
- 43:49Speaker 7: I know I should be saved. I know I should
- 43:53Speaker 7: be ready, but I'm just not ready yet, and I'm
- 43:58Speaker 7: going to get ready one of these days. You know
- 44:01Speaker 7: that many of those precious people have never gotten ready,
- 44:07Speaker 7: that they're still not ready, and if they're not careful,
- 44:11Speaker 7: they will die and not be ready to meet God.
- 44:16Speaker 7: For I'm telling you today, every one of us has
- 44:21Speaker 7: a departure time, and you're not in charge of it.
- 44:26Speaker 7: God's in charge of that. You didn't set it up.
- 44:29Speaker 3: God did. But I thought about being ready to be
- 44:34Speaker 3: now ready.
- 44:36Speaker 7: You know the Bible said in second Corinthian six', two
- 44:41Speaker 7: for he, SAITH i have HEARD thee in the time,
- 44:44Speaker 7: accepted and in the day of, salvation HAVE i succored.
- 44:49Speaker 3: Thee behold now is the accepted. Time behold now is
- 44:55Speaker 3: the day of.
- 44:56Speaker 7: SALVATION i got to think about that little. Word, now
- 45:03Speaker 7: look at, me, Everyone IF i would ask you, today
- 45:11Speaker 7: LIKE i, am are you ready? Now would you be ready?
- 45:17Speaker 7: Now If god.
- 45:20Speaker 3: Called you?
- 45:21Speaker 7: Away you, say, preacher is it all that? Important all, honey,
- 45:26Speaker 7: listen it's not. Important it is necessary that you be
- 45:31Speaker 7: ready to Meet.
- 45:32Speaker 3: God.
- 45:33Speaker 7: NOW i know that people said in churches and they
- 45:37Speaker 7: Think i've got plenty of, time that preacher is just
- 45:42Speaker 7: up there trying to get me. Saved, well, absolutely that's
- 45:47Speaker 7: What i'm. Doing i'm not here just BECAUSE i have
- 45:52Speaker 7: nothing to, do AND i get paid to do. THIS i, am,
- 45:59Speaker 7: indeed with a my soul trying to get you saved
- 46:04Speaker 7: and get you ready to Meet. God and if you've
- 46:08Speaker 7: been to this church very many, times you know that
- 46:11Speaker 7: my heart is in winning souls To christ and that
- 46:17Speaker 7: is our duty and our. Job and you sit there
- 46:20Speaker 7: and you, say he's just up there. Preaching, No i'm
- 46:23Speaker 7: not just. Preaching i'm trying to get you ready to
- 46:26Speaker 7: meet The. LORD i remember one time on, VISITATION i
- 46:30Speaker 7: could call his, name you know him, NOW i said
- 46:33Speaker 7: in his living room AND i was talking to him
- 46:37Speaker 7: about The, lord and he said to, me he, said,
- 46:40Speaker 7: preacher and he said it sort of. Critically he, Said,
- 46:45Speaker 7: PREACHER i know what you're trying to. DO i, said
- 46:49Speaker 7: what AM i trying to?
- 46:50Speaker 3: Do AND i called he's my.
- 46:51Speaker 7: Name he, said you're trying to get me. Saved and
- 46:56Speaker 7: he said up with sarcasm and. Criticism AND i said to,
- 47:01Speaker 7: HIM i, said will, yes, Sir that's exactly Why i'm.
- 47:06Speaker 7: Here and the reason That i'm here is BECAUSE i
- 47:11Speaker 7: love you And i'm concerned about, you AND i would
- 47:17Speaker 7: like to see you. Saved as far AS i know,
- 47:21Speaker 7: that he never got. Saved he went out of this
- 47:25Speaker 7: world critical and sarcastic about the preaching of The, word
- 47:31Speaker 7: maybe like some of us have been in the past
- 47:35Speaker 7: that we've heard the preacher preach and The Holy ghost
- 47:38Speaker 7: woo our hearts and we constantly.
- 47:41Speaker 3: Say no To.
- 47:42Speaker 7: God, Yeah i'm here for one. Reason i'm not here
- 47:48Speaker 7: to do anything but try to help. You you, see
- 47:53Speaker 7: you have a departure, time and you're going to meet that.
- 47:58Speaker 3: TIME i know you all that have flown or.
- 48:02Speaker 7: Traveled the first thing when you go into the, airport
- 48:05Speaker 7: you look on the big, board it says departure, time arrival.
- 48:10Speaker 3: Time it, says are there any? Delays and is it on?
- 48:16Speaker 3: TIME i tell you WHAT i, TRAVEL i like for
- 48:21Speaker 3: it to say on. Time.
- 48:24Speaker 7: Amen AND i thought this morning That jesus is gonna
- 48:30Speaker 7: be on time and he won't delay his.
- 48:34Speaker 3: Coming but he's. Coming and, you my, friend, you.
- 48:39Speaker 7: My, friend have a departure time in your future when
- 48:44Speaker 7: we're gonna be called off this whole ball as sad
- 48:47Speaker 7: we live on this old Planet earth and we're gonna
- 48:51Speaker 7: be escorted into. Eternity, now my question today would, be
- 48:56Speaker 7: are you? Ready how many of y'all remember children?
- 49:00Speaker 3: Playing you go, Hide i'll hide my eyes And i'll.
- 49:06Speaker 7: Count one, hundred and Then i'm going to come and find.
- 49:10Speaker 7: You and about every one of you could not count a.
- 49:16Speaker 7: Hundred we'd get up every little ways and we'd start
- 49:21Speaker 7: counting by, two's then by, fives and then by, tens
- 49:26Speaker 7: and we get up about.
- 49:27Speaker 3: Eighty it's eighty eighty five ninety one.
- 49:30Speaker 7: Hundred then you'd hear that little voice from down there
- 49:34Speaker 7: at the porch cry out and say ready or.
- 49:38Speaker 3: Not HERE i.
- 49:41Speaker 7: Come and here they had, come and they would search
- 49:46Speaker 7: and they would, look and they'd find you AND i
- 49:49Speaker 7: don't know how you all played, it but we played
- 49:52Speaker 7: IF i outran, them if they found me AND i
- 49:56Speaker 7: could out running back.
- 49:57Speaker 3: To the, BASE i was.
- 49:58Speaker 7: Safe so they would find you in take off flying
- 50:03Speaker 7: back to the, base and.
- 50:05Speaker 3: If they got there before you, did you're.
- 50:07Speaker 7: Out AND i was thinking this, morning as a, child
- 50:12Speaker 7: i'd hear that voice say ready or?
- 50:14Speaker 4: Not HERE i.
- 50:16Speaker 3: Come listen to. Me there's going to be another, voice
- 50:23Speaker 3: The bible, said with the voice of the.
- 50:25Speaker 7: Archangel and the trump Of, god we're going to hear
- 50:28Speaker 7: that shout that says ready or, Not i'm coming.
- 50:34Speaker 3: Now we're here today to try to help.

- 50:42Speaker 7: when he comes. Back when he comes, back they ain't
- 50:46Speaker 7: no getting ready, then, now The bible. Said paul, SAID

- 50:54Speaker 7: my departure is at. Hand you see today's. Friend, listen
- 51:01Speaker 7: we all have a departure. TIME i thought AS i
- 51:06Speaker 7: was preparing that when he SAID i am now.
- 51:09Speaker 3: Ready the word the term is a term that means
- 51:14Speaker 3: spindo spnd, o.
- 51:16Speaker 7: Which literally means to pour. Out paul, SAID i am now.
- 51:22Speaker 7: Ready i'm going to pour out my life and by the,
- 51:27Speaker 7: way that's what he. Did paul died by being, beheaded
- 51:31Speaker 7: and when they took his, head he poured his blood
- 51:35Speaker 7: poured out of his body as he offered himself To.
- 51:40Speaker 3: GOD i thought about another.
- 51:44Speaker 7: MAN i thought about another man that went to the,
- 51:48Speaker 7: cross who gave his. Life The bible, said it was
- 51:54Speaker 7: pracious blood that he shed in our for, us.
- 51:58Speaker 3: That we might be.
- 52:00Speaker 7: SAVED i began to read, that and it talked about
- 52:04Speaker 7: over In Firs, peter by the pracious blood Of. Jesus,
- 52:11Speaker 7: now CAN i tell you that he shed his? Blood
- 52:14Speaker 7: The bible, said no man taketh my. Life he, said
- 52:18Speaker 7: no man takes my. Life we want to say that
- 52:22Speaker 7: pilot The, romans they killed our. Savior but he, said,
- 52:27Speaker 7: Nobody no man taketh my. Life he, SAID i lay it.
- 52:30Speaker 3: Down he was not a. Martyr he was a.
- 52:34Speaker 7: Sacrifice Now paul would have been a, martyr But jesus
- 52:40Speaker 7: was a, sacrifice and he laid.
- 52:43Speaker 3: Down his life and poured out his blood.
- 52:48Speaker 17: For our.
- 52:48Speaker 3: Atonement praise his holy.
- 52:50Speaker 7: Name listen to, me, friend the time of your departure
- 52:56Speaker 7: and my departure may be at.
- 52:59Speaker 3: Hand SO i began to look at.
- 53:02Speaker 7: THIS i, thought my, Goodness paul, SAID i have the
- 53:07Speaker 7: time of my departure is at. Hand he was talking
- 53:11Speaker 7: about that word means to loose the mooring that ties
- 53:17Speaker 7: us to the. Port do you know one of these
- 53:21Speaker 7: days we're gonna untie us and we're gonna sail away.
- 53:26Speaker 3: Home. NOW i don't know how you all.
- 53:29Speaker 7: Are y'all don't look too excited about it this, morning
- 53:32Speaker 7: but MAY i, Say i'm kind of excited about getting

- 53:45Speaker 7: call me, FOR i am now ready to be, offered and.
- 53:49Speaker 3: The time of my departure is at. HAND i thought about,

- 53:54Speaker 7: Only thing, Important listen to, Me the only thing important
- 54:00Speaker 7: is where you're going when you're.
- 54:02Speaker 3: Leaving AND i thought.
- 54:05Speaker 7: TODAY i was getting, ready AND i, thought you, Know
- 54:09Speaker 7: i'd like to leave my family with a. Testimony i'd
- 54:15Speaker 7: like for my family to know Where i'm at and
- 54:20Speaker 7: to know HOW i got there and how they can get.
- 54:23Speaker 7: There so many TIMES i hear people come by a
- 54:28Speaker 7: funeral homes and they'll say WHY i almost said silly,
- 54:35Speaker 7: things but they say things, like, WELL i hope he made.
- 54:39Speaker 3: It.
- 54:41Speaker 7: WELL i wonder if he made. It and then they
- 54:45Speaker 7: come to me and, Say, preacher was he. Saved i'm,
- 54:49Speaker 7: like he's your. FAMILY i, mean you're the one that
- 54:54Speaker 7: lived with. Him he's the one that raised. You he's
- 54:58Speaker 7: your family. Member you should have asked.
- 55:01Speaker 3: HIM i don't.

- 56:40Speaker 7: THAT i have fought a good.
- 56:42Speaker 3: FIGHT i have finished my, COURSE i have kept the.
- 56:46Speaker 7: FAITH i thought that this statement is a thought about

- 56:56Speaker 7: up and study it out a hard. Fight paul said
- 57:00Speaker 7: that was common back in the theaters they had wrestling

- 57:20Speaker 7: school AND i can tell you it's the hardest sport
- 57:23Speaker 7: you'll ever participate. In there's not a moment during a
- 57:28Speaker 7: wrestling match that you can take a, breather take a, break, rest,
- 57:33Speaker 7: relax or depend on somebody else to do. Something from
- 57:39Speaker 7: the time it starts to let ends either in victory
- 57:43Speaker 7: or defeat.
- 57:44Speaker 3: Or the time runs, out it is a constant battle
- 57:49Speaker 3: until the.
