  Ladies and gentlemen. Ladies and gentlemen, we welcome you once again to another
• 0:19
  episode of In Time Revival Ministries podcast. I am your host, Al Zachary,
• 0:27
  and we thank you for listening, taking the time to hear these few
• 0:33
  words on today. Want to focus your attention for the next few minutes on
• 0:40
  something that is vitally important for us to be aware of, because we are
• 0:45
  living in a very, very, very dangerous time. We are living in
• 0:52
  a nation that has become quickly become a nation of people that believe falsely that
• 1:03
  they have no need of God. Second Timothy, chapter number three, the
• 1:10
  apostle Paul warns of these days that have arrived. He writes to his son
• 1:18
  Timothy in the Gospel, know this that in the last days, perilous times
• 1:26
  will come, for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money,
• 1:33
  boasters, proud blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving,
• 1:42
  unforgiving slanderers without self control, brutal despisers of good, traitors, headstrong,
• 1:53
  haughty, lovers of pleasure, rather than lovers of God, having a form
• 2:00
  of Godliness but denying its power. I will submit to you that the greatest
• 2:08
  peril of our time that this nation is facing is that of the I don't
• 2:17
  need God attitude, which has permeated the feudal minds of far too many people
• 2:27
  in this culture. In this nation. Please understand that there is nothing new
• 2:32
  under the sun. War between nations is not new. Robbing, stealing,
• 2:39
  killing, crime is not new. Same sex attraction is not new. Poverty
• 2:47
  and wealth is not new. Licentious behavior it's nothing new. Power and corruption
• 2:57
  is not new. But this is the dangerous thing that we may not be
• 3:00
  aware of. Nations that forget God is not new either. And the current
• 3:12
  culture that we are now cultivating in this nation is becoming more and more like
• 3:16
  that of the godless nations, of those civilizations that have been annexed into the
• 3:22
  ash heap of crumbled wastelands, as they wallowed in their ungodliness, in their
• 3:30
  pride, being altogether dismissive of the God in whose hands of mercy they're every
• 3:39
  breath of life depended upon. This nation is becoming more sinful and more brazenly
• 3:47
  ungodly, dangerously close to forgetting the God of heaven and Earth, who indeed
• 3:55
  still sits on the throne and yet reign and rules in the Kingdom of men.
• 4:03
  In case you need a reminder or to be informed of this, I
• 4:11
  hastened you to the fourth chapter of the Book of Daniel. A true to
• 4:17
  life, real historical figure by the name of Nebuchadnezzar, who was the king
• 4:21
  of Babylon, learned this lesson when he was lifted up in his pride and
• 4:30
  arrogance, and God, in his mercy, did not kill him, but
• 4:35
  drove him to repentance. And this pagan king gave his testimony, and at
• 4:44
  the end of his a man, he came to the understanding that God rules
• 4:49
  in the kingdom of men. And unless there is a shifting and a turning
• 4:57
  of the hearts and minds away from the you don't thinking that it has become
• 5:00
  again so pervasive in our present culture. We are on an absolute, certain
• 5:05
  collision course with unavoidable repercussions that will be our harvest from the seeds of the
• 5:15
  destruction that we have sown. You see, God has an irrevocable law of
• 5:23
  the harvests, which guarantees that whatsoever a man souls, that shall he also
• 5:30
  reap. And not only do we reap, we reap in greater proportion than
• 5:38
  what we sold. An abundance of people in this nation are now enjoying a
• 5:44
  level of plenty in prosperity unimaginable just a few decades ago. And please understand,
• 5:54
  please understand that there is absolutely nothing inherently wrong or evil about wealth and
• 6:00
  riches and prosperity. In fact, God made man to be in charge to
• 6:09
  subdue, and God blesses his reign, as Bible makes it clear, falls
• 6:14
  on the just and the unjust. There's nothing inherently wrong. But what happens
• 6:21
  is pride begins to rise up in the heart of man, sin begins to
• 6:28
  run rampant in the streets, and then God's truth is trampled on in those
• 6:35
  same streets, which then invites the judgment of God. And I believe for
• 6:42
  this nation where we are now, the judgment of God is looming eminently unless
• 6:49
  there is repentance in heart and a change of our ways. I believe that
• 6:57
  the current prosperity, as a matter of fact, in this nation is being
• 7:01
  propped up on a very precarious pinnacle that is being undergirded by deceitful pagan prophets
• 7:13
  of propaganda who are blindly leading a foolish people down the path of darkness,
• 7:23
  of doom, and of sure destruction in their deliberate defiance of the truth of
• 7:31
  God that they have set aside in exchange for lies. Exchanging the truth of
• 7:38
  God for lies. I refer you to Roman's chapter number one. You see
• 7:42
  righteousness. The Bible makes clear is what exalts a nation, and the history
• 7:46
  of nations and civilizations that have perished is replete with many shining examples of what
• 7:55
  happens to a nation, to a people that forgets the God of Creation.
• 8:01
  This nation is not godless, as a matter of fact. This is a
• 8:07
  nation of people that are all into worshiping. But the problem is they are
• 8:13
  not worshiping for the most part, the God of the Scriptures, the God
• 8:18
  of the Bible, the God of Creation, which is why this nation is
• 8:24
  teetering on the verge of forsaking the true in the Living God, having substituted
• 8:28
  pagan idols of all sorts to be the gods that the people now bow down
• 8:33
  to in their utter vanity. History testifies to this foolishness, and the Word
• 8:41
  of the Lord gives warning plentifully to those who travel down that path. Psalm
• 8:48
  number nine, verse seventeen, the wicked shall be turned into hell, and
• 8:52
  all the nations that forget God. You see, this is the arrows of
• 9:00
  the foolish heart of the wicked man, who knowingly rejects God's righteousness. And
• 9:07
  this has been again the habitual pattern of every civilization that is perished from the
• 9:13
  earth. Yet the wicked rebels of today behave as if it is something new
• 9:22
  under the sun. They act as if judgment will not come upon them.
• 9:31
  Listen to these words from the Book of Job, chapter twenty one, verses
• 9:37
  fourteen and fifteen, speaking of the wicked. This is what the Bible says.
• 9:41
  Yet they say to God, depart from us, for we do not
• 9:46
  desire the knowledge of your ways. Who is the Almighty that we should serve
• 9:54
  him? And what prophet do we have if we pray to him? Then
• 10:00
  again in Job twenty two, verses fifteen through eighty, listen to these words.
• 10:05
  Will you keep to the old way which wicked man have trot? Again?
• 10:09
  There's nothing new under the sun. You're not the first wicked person.
• 10:13
  You're not the first homosexual, you're not the first lesbian, you're not the
• 10:18
  first adulter, or you're not the first thief. You're not the first embezzler.
• 10:22
  Amen. There's nothing new under the sun. This is what the Bible
• 10:28
  says. Will you keep to the old way which wicked men have trod,
• 10:33
  who were cut down before their time, whose foundations were swept away by a
• 10:39
  flood. Yes, that flood, ladies and gentlemen, that came upon the
• 10:43
  Noah generation. Wicked men forgetting all about God, they said to God.
• 10:52
  The Bible says, depart from us. What can the Almighty do to them?
• 10:58
  Yet he feels of their houses with good things he see. Understand,
• 11:01
  Please understand. And this is what the wicked man fails to understand in his
• 11:05
  prosperity, is that it rains down again on the just and the unjust,
• 11:11
  from a good God out of heaven. It is the goodness of God.
• 11:16
  As a matter of fact, the Bible makes clear that leads man to repentance.
• 11:20
  But the fool says within his heart that there is no God of creation.
• 11:24
  There is no God to whom I will be accountable, and therefore no
• 11:30
  God who will bring judgment upon me. Let me leave you with this final
• 11:35
  admonition from Psalm number fifty, verse number sixteen. But to the wicked,
• 11:41
  God says, what right have you to declare my statues or take my covenant
• 11:46
  in your mouth? Seeing you hate instruction and cast my words behind you.
• 11:54
  When you saw a thief, you consented with him, and have been a
• 12:00
  partaker with adulterers. You give your mouth to evil, and your tongue frames
• 12:09
  deceit. You sit and speak against your brother, You slander your own mother's
• 12:16
  son. These things you have done, and I kept silent. Ladies and
• 12:24
  gentlemen, please do not, please do not think that God does not see,
• 12:28
  that God is not recording, that God doesn't know. That God has
• 12:33
  a record of everything that is happening in his world. Jesus put it this
• 12:39
  way. Every idle word, even that men speak, they will have to
• 12:41
  give an account of in the day of judgment. Just because judgment does not
• 12:46
  come swiftly. Ecclesiastes warns us about this. The foolish heart of men is
• 12:52
  fully set on them to continue in their evil. So they continue because God
• 12:58
  is silent. And what the Bible says, you thought that I was altogether
• 13:03
  like you. You thought that God was like a man, or that he
• 13:07
  didn't exist, or that he was weak and impotent, uncaring, unconcerned,
• 13:15
  absent, But he says, I will rebuke you and set them in order
• 13:20
  before your eyes. Now consider this, you who forget God, lest I
• 13:26
  tear you in peaces, and there be none to deliver, and believe the
• 13:31
  word of the Lord. There is none that can deliver out of his hand.
• 13:37
  But please understand also that God takes no pleasure in the death of the
• 13:39
  wicked. That is why he so graciously gives every man time, every man's
• 13:46
  space to repent. He sends his profits to speak forth his word into the
• 13:52
  ears of the listener, sowing seeds, and he himself, by his spirit,
• 13:58
  comes to knock at the door of the hearts of men when he calls.
• 14:03
  Do not refuse when he knocks, Do not ignore that grace and mercy
• 14:07
  that He is extending to you. Do not harden your heart, do not
• 14:11
  stiffen your neck. Please do not presume upon this mercy and think that you
• 14:16
  are in control of your destiny, and that you have the time in your
• 14:20
  good time to come to Jesus. Today is today, Now is the time
• 14:26
  tomorrow is. And promise do not be deceived by the deceitful spirit of I
• 14:31
  don't need God that is growing and running rampant in this nation, every nation,
• 14:37
  and every people that forget the God who has the very breath of life
• 14:39
  in his hands, they will be as the word promise turned into hell.
• 14:46
  Today is the day repent and turn, while you still have time.
