  This is Living Waters of Grace, the teaching ministry of Clark
• 0:08
  Wofford, senior pastor of Calvary Chapel of Westmoreland,
• 0:12
  County of Greensburg, PA. Now here's Pastor Clark as he
• 0:16
  continues teaching through God's Word.
• 0:37
  We must pray according to God's will.
• 0:39
  We don't make it up as we go along.
• 0:42
  We don't pray according to our will, but we pray and we say,
• 0:45
  Lord, not my will, but your will be done.
• 0:48
  We make intercession for the Saints according to the will of
• 0:52
  God. Who are the Saints?
• 0:53
  You guys, me, all of us together and the Holy Spirit will show us
• 0:58
  how to pray for one another. If you guys have the directory,
• 1:00
  I, I trust you, do the people that attend the church.
• 1:03
  It's really a good exercise daily to go through that
• 1:06
  directory and allow the Lord to put the people in your heart.
• 1:09
  I love talking with my friends, my family, even my Co workers.
• 1:13
  I am quite intentional about taking time each day to build
• 1:18
  relationships with the people in my life.
• 1:21
  When it comes to God, though, I am days where I forget to speak
• 1:24
  with Him. Prayer is one of the simplest,
• 1:27
  hardest practices for most believers.
• 1:30
  We know that we ought to talk with God daily, to pray without
• 1:33
  ceasing, but many of us still struggle.
• 1:36
  Pastor Clark takes time today to remind us of the critical nature
• 1:41
  and life changing power of prayer.
• 1:44
  Now here's Pastor Clark in Revelation Chapter 2 with
• 1:47
  today's edition of Living Waters of Grace.
• 1:51
  Revelation chapter 2 verse 12. And the Angel of the church in
• 1:55
  Pergamos write these things, says he who has the sharp 2
• 2:00
  edged sword. I know your works and where you
• 2:03
  dwell, where Satan's throne is, and you hold fast to my name.
• 2:08
  It did not deny my faith even in the days in which Antipas was my
• 2:13
  faithful martyr who was killed among you where Satan dwells.
• 2:17
  But I have a few things against you, because you have there
• 2:21
  those who hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to put
• 2:25
  a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat
• 2:28
  things sacrificed to idols, and to commit sexual immorality.
• 2:33
  Thus you also have those who hold the doctrine of the
• 2:35
  Nicolaitans, which I which thing I hate, repent, or else I will
• 2:40
  come to you quickly and will fight against them with the
• 2:44
  sword of my mouth. He who has an ear, let him hear
• 2:48
  what the Spirit says to the churches.
• 2:50
  To him who overcomes, I will give some of the hidden manna to
• 2:54
  eat, and I will give him a whitestone, and on the stone a
• 2:58
  new name written, which no one knows except him who receives
• 3:02
  it. This is the third church that
• 3:03
  we're studying today. This for a short review.
• 3:06
  I'd like to think about the other two churches briefly that
• 3:08
  we've discussed so far so we can keep track of what these
• 3:13
  churches were like and also think about what is our church
• 3:16
  like today? What is Calvary Chapel
• 3:18
  Westmoreland like? What kind of church are we
• 3:20
  representing in these days that we live?
• 3:23
  The first church we spoke of was Ephesus, and they were rebuked
• 3:27
  for neglecting their first love, their first love for Christ.
• 3:31
  And I wonder where we are today. The Bible says in the last days
• 3:34
  the love of many will wax cold, meaning that there will be this
• 3:38
  tendency for people to fall out of love with the Lord and fall
• 3:43
  out of love with one another. And I see it happening.
• 3:46
  I really do, not so much here, but I do see it happening in the
• 3:50
  world today. I know that people are
• 3:53
  struggling. I know that the Bible discusses
• 3:56
  that before the return of Christ, there will be a great
• 3:58
  falling away. And I just pray that that won't
• 4:02
  be us. I pray that we will keep
• 4:06
  ourselves in the love of God. As Jude 21 tells us, it's our
• 4:09
  responsibility, guys, to keep ourselves in the love of God.
• 4:13
  We're we're given commandment by the Lord to keep ourselves in
• 4:17
  the love of God. And he also says the importance
• 4:21
  in verse 20 in Jude. But you, beloved, build
• 4:23
  yourselves up in your most holy faith, praying in the Holy
• 4:27
  Spirit. So we have this responsibility
• 4:30
  as Christians to build ourselves up.
• 4:32
  The Church is responsible to equip the Saints for the work in
• 4:35
  the ministry. It's responsible to educate and
• 4:38
  teach you the Word of God that you yourselves are responsible
• 4:41
  to keep yourselves in the love of God.
• 4:44
  You can't blame it on anybody else but yourself if you're not
• 4:47
  staying in the love of God, you're to pray in the Holy
• 4:50
  Spirit, building yourself up in your holy faith.
• 4:53
  And what does it mean to pray in the Holy Spirit?
• 4:55
  It means to pray in line with the accordance of the will of
• 4:58
  God. God the Holy Spirit knows how to
• 5:00
  pray. We don't many times.
• 5:03
  Sometimes we just Babble and we just say things and our prayers
• 5:06
  maybe go as far as the top of our head.
• 5:08
  But if we really wait upon the Lord and ask the mind of the
• 5:12
  Spirit what it is that we're to pray for and how we're to pray
• 5:15
  and wait upon the Lord, I believe that the Holy Spirit
• 5:18
  will teach us how to pray. And I believe that starts with
• 5:21
  each of us each day being on our faces sometime during the day
• 5:25
  with God. For me, it's best to be on my
• 5:27
  face in the morning. I know what it's like whenever I
• 5:31
  start my day in the morning on my face before the Lord being
• 5:34
  silent, God will speak to me. It will work in my heart.
• 5:38
  And that's the best time to ask the Lord to search me and know
• 5:42
  my heart, to try me and know my thoughts and to see if there's
• 5:45
  any wicked way in me, and then to lead me in the way
• 5:48
  everlasting. Also, as David prayed, Lord
• 5:51
  created me a clean heart, which after you is created in
• 5:55
  righteousness and true holiness. Waiting on the Lord to do
• 5:59
  something in my heart that I can't do myself.
• 6:03
  Asking the Lord to put into my heart what He knows I need to
• 6:06
  have placed in my heart for the day.
• 6:09
  And so, as are in their faces before the Lord, we're showing
• 6:12
  humility. We're waiting on the Lord.
• 6:14
  We're allowing the Lord to search us and to try us and to
• 6:17
  create in us a clean heart. That tells us in Romans chapter
• 6:20
  8, verse 26 and 27, it says likewise, the Spirit also helps
• 6:25
  us in our weaknesses. You guys realize you're weak.
• 6:28
  We all are. We are very, very weak apart
• 6:32
  from the power of God, and we're foolish to think that we can do
• 6:36
  anything in our own strength and our own ability.
• 6:39
  And yet, how often do we just get up and zoom out into the day
• 6:43
  without spending time waiting upon the Holy Spirit?
• 6:47
  It says for we do not know what we should pray for as we ought.
• 6:51
  It's very clear that God knows that the way our minds are
• 6:55
  fragmented at times and the way they're disconnected.
• 6:59
  We're not entering into prayer in the heart opening that we
• 7:04
  should because our minds are in a lot of different places.
• 7:09
  And so it's important to depend on the Holy Spirit to pray in
• 7:12
  and through US. For it says the Spirit himself
• 7:15
  who dwells in US, makes intercessions for us with
• 7:18
  groanings which cannot be uttered.
• 7:20
  The Holy Spirit is able to communicate with the Father and
• 7:23
  the Son in ways that we could never communicate with them.
• 7:27
  But yet the Lord works in US as the Holy Spirit's in us, that we
• 7:30
  begin to know the work of God's Spirit.
• 7:34
  We begin to learn how the Holy Spirit works and how He directs
• 7:38
  and how He leads and how He gods and how he speaks to the Father
• 7:41
  in our behalf. He's a model for us to know and
• 7:45
  to learn to pray. It says now he referring to the
• 7:48
  Holy Spirit who searches the hearts and knows what the mind
• 7:52
  of the Spirit is because he makes intercession for the
• 7:55
  Saints according to the will of God.
• 7:58
  We must pray according to God's will.
• 8:01
  We don't make it up as we go along.
• 8:03
  We don't pray according to our will, but we pray and we say
• 8:06
  Lord, not my will, but your will be done.
• 8:09
  We make intercession for the Saints according to the will of
• 8:12
  God. Who are the Saints?
• 8:14
  You guys, me, all of us together and the Holy Spirit will show us
• 8:18
  how to pray for one another. If you guys have the directory,
• 8:21
  I trust you do the people that attend the church.
• 8:24
  It's really a good exercise daily to go through that
• 8:26
  directory and allow the Lord to put the people on your heart in
• 8:30
  the church to pray for. You can't forget that you go
• 8:33
  down line by line, person by person, family by family, and
• 8:37
  some people the Lord at times will have you pause and pray
• 8:40
  even more for. And why?
• 8:41
  Because the Holy Spirit is giving you insight to pray and
• 8:46
  make intercession for the Saints.
• 8:48
  Paul's prayer for us in the book of Ephesians and Ephesus had the
• 8:53
  problem of losing their first love.
• 8:55
  Go to Ephesians chapter 3 for a minute and see how Paul prayed
• 8:59
  for this church. And this prayer is also on
• 9:02
  behalf of not only that church, but all churches.
• 9:04
  It exists throughout time and even into this day and into the
• 9:08
  future. And verse 14 of chapter 3, Paul
• 9:12
  says, for this reason I bow my niece to the Father of our Lord
• 9:15
  Jesus Christ. See, Paul was the type of man
• 9:18
  who humbled himself before the throne of God.
• 9:21
  Physical posture is very important.
• 9:23
  I found in prayer. If you lay in bed and you try to
• 9:26
  pray, you find you're sometimes falling asleep.
• 9:29
  You ever do that? If you're driving and praying,
• 9:32
  you get distracted because someone pulls out in front of
• 9:35
  you or something, you know, but you need to have some quiet time
• 9:38
  before the Lord. And Paul obviously had it.
• 9:40
  He falls on his knees before the Lord, a good way to pray.
• 9:44
  And he says from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is
• 9:47
  named, that he would grant you according to the riches of His
• 9:50
  glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the
• 9:53
  inner man. Paul knows that we are weak.
• 9:55
  He knows the church in Ephesus was struggling.
• 9:58
  He prays for the church that God would grant them strength with
• 10:03
  might through this Holy Spirit and the inner man that's in the
• 10:06
  inner part of your conscience, that Christ may dwell in your
• 10:10
  hearts through faith. That you being rooted and
• 10:13
  grounded in love. The importance of having love
• 10:16
  for one another rooted and grounded.
• 10:19
  This not in doctrine, but rooted and grounded in love that you
• 10:24
  may be able to comprehend with all the Saints what is the width
• 10:28
  and length and depth and height. Know the love of Christ which
• 10:32
  passes knowledge that you may be filled with the fullness of God.
• 10:36
  So Paul's desire was that the church would be so blessed and
• 10:39
  so overwhelmed with God. Your your love is extending
• 10:43
  beyond what my mind can even surpass and fathom.
• 10:46
  It's so far up and it's so far on the sides of me and below me
• 10:50
  and all around me that I could never get to the end of the
• 10:52
  greatness of your love, that God would just not put it in your
• 10:55
  mind to understand that. But it would be in your heart.
• 10:59
  And when it's in your heart, it changes your very life.
• 11:02
  It's not about religion. It's about Jesus, a living
• 11:05
  Savior. And He says that you might be
• 11:07
  filled with the fullness of God. In other words, God doesn't
• 11:11
  intend any of us to be empty or to be shallow or to be thirsty
• 11:16
  and hungry. He wants us to be full of Him at
• 11:20
  all times. And then Paul says in 20 now to
• 11:23
  him was able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask
• 11:26
  or think big prayer there that Paul made right.
• 11:29
  You read that and say, man, how's that possible?
• 11:32
  Paul says we pray to him who's able to do exceedingly
• 11:35
  abundantly above all that we ask or think according to the power
• 11:39
  it works in us to him be glory in the church by Jesus Christ,
• 11:42
  all generations, forever and ever, Amen.
• 11:46
  So Ephesus was a wonderful church at one time, but Jesus
• 11:50
  rebukes them in the first part of this church analysis
• 11:54
  regarding themselves and losing their love for Christ.
• 11:59
  Guys, if you're here today and you're losing your love for
• 12:01
  Christ, stop where you are and to say, Lord, restore to me that
• 12:05
  love. Don't try to do it yourself.
• 12:07
  You can't ask God for favor and say, God, restore to me the joy
• 12:11
  of my salvation. Put in me that love that you've
• 12:14
  promised me to have, and I guarantee God will do that for
• 12:17
  you. He's willing to do that for you.
• 12:20
  The second church we looked at was Smyrna.
• 12:23
  Amazing church, a persecuted body that had no compromise in
• 12:27
  its life. As a church.
• 12:29
  It stood against the tide of ungodliness and immorality.
• 12:32
  They didn't care if they lost their ability to earn a living
• 12:35
  because of the guilds that persecuted people who proclaim
• 12:38
  Christ. They stood out and stood up for
• 12:41
  Christ. They had no compromise.
• 12:44
  There was no warning given to this church to repent.
• 12:47
  Because you find in persecuted countries, people are on their
• 12:50
  face crying out to God continually when they're in the
• 12:53
  cell, knowing that tomorrow morning is their last day and
• 12:55
  they're being taken to the guillotine or the fire.
• 12:59
  They are already in the place of purity and humility, waiting
• 13:05
  upon God. They're on fire.
• 13:06
  They're ready for whatever it is that's going to come upon them.
• 13:10
  So today we look at Pergamus, the third church.
• 13:13
  Pergamus is known as a compromising church.
• 13:16
  It was called the greatest city in Asia Minor.
• 13:19
  They had over 200 volumes of literature.
• 13:22
  They actually had printing, not printing presses, but papyrus
• 13:25
  smells that made the parchment in order for them to write down
• 13:29
  the things that people were interested in reading it.
• 13:32
  Recur refers to this city as being the place of Satan's seat.
• 13:37
  Why? This was where the first temple
• 13:39
  was dedicated to Caesar, and Caesar was an ungodly roller.
• 13:44
  It also was a place of the temple of Asuth Lapias, meaning
• 13:49
  the God of healing. That God had a symbol that was a
• 13:53
  staff with a serpent on the top. That's the symbol you see today
• 13:56
  in modern medicine. You know, it was a, a Pagan
• 14:01
  symbol and the serpent on the staff was representing again
• 14:06
  this place of Satan's seat. And verse 13, this church
• 14:10
  suffered many, many things because of what was happening in
• 14:14
  the city at the time, very ungodly city.
• 14:18
  And to be a Christian in these kind of places was very, very
• 14:21
  difficult. Verse 13, it says I know your
• 14:25
  works and where you dwell, where Satan's throne is, and you hold
• 14:28
  fast to my name and did not deny my faith even in the days which
• 14:32
  Antipas was my faithful martyr who was killed among you, where
• 14:36
  Satan dwells, so much persecution, even death.
• 14:40
  Some faithful followers of Christ suffered loss of life.
• 14:44
  They refused to offer incense on the altar and say that Caesar is
• 14:48
  Lord. They were made in that time to
• 14:51
  worship Caesar. It'd be like today you saying
• 14:54
  Obama is Lord and if you didn't say it, you'd be cast into the
• 14:59
  prisons and be persecuted. Be a terrible, terrible time to
• 15:03
  live. The Lord describes himself as a
• 15:07
  sharp sword. The sword is also the symbol of
• 15:10
  the Roman authority that if you didn't do what Rome said, you
• 15:14
  would be taken out by the sword. And verse 16, it refers to the
• 15:17
  sword of Christ that is more to be feared than the throne of
• 15:22
  earthly kingdoms. And so often in our culture,
• 15:25
  people compromise because they're concerned about what
• 15:28
  others say or think or do, not realizing that one day we'll
• 15:32
  have to give an account to the Lord for every word and every
• 15:35
  idle deed that we've committed in this life.
• 15:38
  The big problem with this church that Jesus points out in verse
• 15:42
  14, he has a few things against them because they have there
• 15:46
  those there's people in their fellowship who hold the doctrine
• 15:49
  of Balaam. We taught Balak to put a
• 15:51
  stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat
• 15:54
  things sacrificed to idols and to commit sexual immorality.
• 15:57
  This you also have those who hold the doctrine of the
• 16:01
  Nicolaitans, which things I hate.
• 16:04
  This is real important guys doctrine.
• 16:07
  The church in the last days, it says will not endorse sound
• 16:11
  doctrine. People will be gravitating and
• 16:14
  drawn to places where there isn't really any doctrine being
• 16:17
  taught where they can be humored and they can be have their ears
• 16:21
  tickled and not sense any kind of conviction about anything.
• 16:26
  The enemy deceives us by using false doctrines.
• 16:31
  Paul speaks in Acts 20 verse 29. He says, for I know this, that
• 16:35
  after my departure, savage wolves, and Jesus refers to
• 16:40
  these people that come as in sheep's clothing will come in
• 16:44
  among you, not sparing the flock also from among yourselves.
• 16:48
  Men will rise up speaking perverse things to draw away the
• 16:51
  disciples after themselves. So we see here in this church in
• 16:55
  Revelation where people are not listening to the truth, they're
• 17:00
  allowing false teachers to come in and deceive the people, and
• 17:04
  as a result the people are falling away from the faith.
• 17:09
  He says for three years I did not cease to warn everyone night
• 17:13
  and day with tears. He did not cease torn everyone
• 17:17
  night and day with tears. Sometimes you might get tired of
• 17:21
  me telling you about false doctrine or false teachers.
• 17:25
  That's a big part of being a pastor, to educate the people
• 17:28
  and to let them know who out there is not to be trusted, who
• 17:33
  out there is not to be listened to or believed.
• 17:35
  The book she shouldn't be reading and shouldn't be buying.
• 17:37
  Because they're rooted not in Apostolic teaching, but in the
• 17:41
  doctrines and traditions of men. False doctrines, Jesus says in
• 17:45
  Matthew 715. Beware of false prophets who
• 17:49
  come to you in sheep's clothing. In other words, they look just
• 17:52
  like the rest of us, but inwardly are ravenous wolves.
• 17:56
  2nd Corinthians Chapter 11 verse 1314 and 15 says, For such are
• 18:00
  false prophets, deceitful workers, transforming themselves
• 18:04
  into the apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for Satan himself
• 18:09
  themselves turn himself into an Angel of light.
• 18:12
  Therefore, it is no great thing if His ministers also transfer
• 18:16
  themselves into ministers of righteousness whose end will be
• 18:20
  according to their works. When a church begins to
• 18:24
  compromise, and I've been in them, you've been in them, you
• 18:28
  know what it's like when it begins to compromise and
• 18:31
  doctrine, it begins to no longer be a place of blessing, but a
• 18:34
  place of judgement. God begins to judge the work of
• 18:39
  those who teach false doctrine. Jesus uses strong words about
• 18:44
  this in verse 15. He says the doctrine of the
• 18:48
  Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. He hates false doctrine.
• 18:52
  Some people think it's OK to be in churches that are teaching
• 18:55
  things that aren't biblical or modern secular thoughts or
• 18:59
  psychology or contemporary evangelist, televangelist.
• 19:03
  So they'll talk about these people and lift them up like
• 19:06
  there's some kind of great leaders or great heroes.
• 19:08
  Jesus would say the same thing about what we experienced today
• 19:12
  in regard to the Word of Faith or the prosperity movement.
• 19:15
  He would say these things which I also hate.
• 19:19
  We need to hate what the Lord hates and to love what the Lord
• 19:21
  loves. It isn't wise to not speak out
• 19:25
  about about the things that are false.
• 19:28
  Paul was very clear about it. Peter was clear about it.
• 19:31
  Timothy was clear about it. Jesus is absolutely crystal
• 19:34
  clear about it. In Matthew 15 verse 8-9, it says
• 19:39
  these people. Jesus was referring to the false
• 19:41
  teachers. Draw near to me with their mouth
• 19:44
  and honor me with their lips. You can be in a a huge church
• 19:48
  where everybody's raising their hands and worshiping and and
• 19:51
  praising God. But God, you know, he's not that
• 19:54
  impressed about the outward appearance of the hands raised.
• 19:56
  Nothing wrong with raising the hands, but if we raise our hands
• 19:59
  and our hearts are defiled and sinful, that's an abomination to
• 20:03
  God. It's like the incense that they
• 20:05
  have in a Bayou offered to God. It's blasphemous.
• 20:09
  And it says these people honor me with their lips, but their
• 20:11
  heart is far from me, and in vain they worship me.
• 20:15
  Teaching his doctrine the commandments of men.
• 20:18
  Nowadays, the things that are being taught in evangelical
• 20:21
  churches as doctrines are nothing more than the inventions
• 20:25
  of some man who interpreted the scripture in a very unbiblical
• 20:31
  way. Write some books, becomes very
• 20:33
  famous because people like feels good in their ears.
• 20:37
  They like how it tickles them, and they're persuaded, and they
• 20:40
  begin to follow it, and then they begin to be deceived.
• 20:43
  A false doctrine is the invention of man, his concepts,
• 20:48
  his interpretations and heresies.
• 20:50
  It's not rooted in the Apostolic teaching.
• 20:53
  And Ephesians 414. Paul warns them about being
• 20:56
  carried about with every wind of doctrine by the sleight of man,
• 21:00
  where they lie and cunning craftiness, thereby waiting and
• 21:03
  lying, waiting to deceive. It's hard to conceive that
• 21:06
  there's people out there that make their living under the
• 21:09
  auspices of ministry and they're leading the flock down the path
• 21:14
  of destruction in regard to the teaching.
• 21:17
  And Paul warns the church there in Ephesus, don't be carried
• 21:21
  about with all these winds of doctrines.
• 21:23
  I get so tired of all these new moves out there today.
• 21:27
  This book about this book, and then this book about that book
• 21:30
  and this book about it's like, try this and try.
• 21:32
  And then the pastors, they feel pressured.
• 21:34
  They become schizophrenic. Well, we need to do this because
• 21:36
  this is in now. And when that isn't in anymore,
• 21:38
  then we'll do this. And then let's talk about this
• 21:41
  book book and buy this guy's writings.
• 21:43
  And then, you know, before, you know, people aren't in the word
• 21:45
  anymore, they're into some book that some man's written.
• 21:49
  First Timothy 110 says there are things that are contrary to
• 21:53
  sound doctrine, warning them not to be around that stuff.
• 21:57
  First Timothy 41, it says, give heed that people will give heed
• 22:01
  to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons in the last
• 22:05
  days. In chapter 4, verse 6.
• 22:07
  If you instruct the brethren, I love this, it should be the life
• 22:10
  verse of every pastor, every teacher.
• 22:13
  If you instruct the brethren in these things, you will be a good
• 22:17
  minister of Jesus Christ. Nourish in the words of faith
• 22:21
  and of God's doctrine which you have carefully followed.
• 22:25
  Amen. That's what we're all to do.
• 22:28
  Let me read that again. This is the responsibility of
• 22:31
  anybody that teaches the Word. If you instruct the brethren in
• 22:35
  these things, you will be a good minister of Jesus Christ,
• 22:39
  nourished in the words of faith and of God's doctrine, which you
• 22:44
  have carefully followed. I'll tell you the day that we
• 22:48
  stopped carefully following the doctrine of God.
• 22:51
  Here is a day you bolt from this church.
• 22:54
  Don't allow yourself to be sitting here ever under any
• 22:59
  false teaching anywhere. If you have friends who are in
• 23:03
  churches and they're in places of false doctrine and false
• 23:06
  teaching, it behooves you to warn them and to tell them to
• 23:10
  search the scriptures as the Bereans did daily to see whether
• 23:14
  the things they were being taught or so.
• 23:17
  There's too many Christians nowadays that attend the church
• 23:20
  without their Bible, and you come and you listen to some man
• 23:24
  rant and rave up front for 45 minutes and you figure, well,
• 23:27
  he's a minister, he must know what he's talking about.
• 23:30
  Don't ever take that for granted.
• 23:32
  Your job is to study and to be in the Scriptures along with me
• 23:37
  or anybody in this church that's teaching something that isn't in
• 23:40
  the Word. You say very nicely.
• 23:43
  Where did you come up with that? And you keep my fire to the
• 23:45
  feet, too. It's important.
• 23:49
  In the Book of Revelation, Pastor Clark is taking us
• 23:52
  through all kinds of events and happenings that are predicted
• 23:55
  for the future. But for those who believe and
• 23:58
  follow Jesus, there's much to look forward to in heaven with
• 24:02
  Jesus. However, for those who are here
• 24:05
  on earth during the Tribulation, there's all kinds of chaos that
• 24:09
  will unfold. The Bible talks about an
• 24:12
  Antichrist, a false prophet, and of course that evil enemy Satan.
• 24:18
  You see how there are such clever attempts for the enemy to
• 24:21
  disguise himself as God and even the Trinity, the true Savior of
• 24:26
  the world is God and how he comes to rescue through his
• 24:30
  triune nature, God the Father, Jesus the Son, and God the Holy
• 24:35
  Spirit. Just like Satan tried to take
• 24:39
  over for God in heaven and was cast out, Satan will try to
• 24:43
  convince people on earth that he is the triune God to be
• 24:47
  worshipped instead of the legitimate God in heaven.
• 24:50
  It's an attempt, and although he will capture plenty in his
• 24:54
  schemes, he will not win. The true God wins, and
• 24:59
  Revelation unpacks how that will all happen in detail.
• 25:03
  Be encouraged because there's a way out for all of this madness
• 25:07
  that will ensue on this earth. But you don't want to wait
• 25:11
  indefinitely to make that decision about Jesus.
• 25:15
  We don't know when the church will be raptured, and you want
• 25:18
  to be ready to be with Jesus. To learn more about this, head
