did you know there's a Bible verse that
says if you ignore this you're not
ignoring man you're ignoring God so make
sure that we pay attention to this video
because I don't want to ignore God and I
believe that you don't want to ignore
god so let's read the Bible verse in
first Thessalonians chapter 4 where
there's some Christian leaders speaking
to some Believers and they're telling
them hey God told us to tell you this
this is what the scripture says we're
not making this up and if you ignore us
you're not ignoring us you're ignoring
god so let's find out what we must pay
attention to so that we won't ignore the
Lord but before we read that Bible verse
that says if you ignore this you're
ignoring God I want to read you
something from the book of second
Timothy chapter 4 verse one through four
because the Bible tells us how it's
going to be in the last days the Bible
says in the last days people aren't
going to want to hear the healthy words
the sound doctrine that comes from God
but they're gonna have itching ears and
they're gonna raise up preachers that
are going to preach to them what they
want to hear Let Me ask you a question
are you just chasing what you want to
hear are you just seeking what's
pleasing to your ear do you have an
itching ear because believe me there's a
lot of preachers and there's a lot of
pastors and there's a lot of prophets
that'll scratch that itch in your ear
but listen to What God Says listen to
the healthy words of the Lord remember
we're going to read it in first
Thessalonians but before we read that I
want to read you something from the book
of second Timothy chapter 4 verse one
through four look what it says about the
last days and look what he tells Timothy
he says this I charge you in the
presence of God and of Christ Jesus who
is to judge the living and the dead and
by his appearing in his kingdom he's
telling Timothy Timothy what I'm going
to tell you pay attention because one
day God is going to judge the whole
world those who have passed away or
those who are alive at the second
appearing of the Lord Jesus God is going
to judge whether they already passed
away or whether they're living at when
at his return he's gonna judge them
Timothy so make sure you pay attention
to what I'm gonna tell you that's the
same thing I want to say today pay
attention to these verses because one
day God is going to judge the living and
the dead so let's pay attention what
he's telling them verse 2 preach the
word be ready in season and out of
season rep prove rebuke and exhort with
complete patience and teaching now look
why he tells them to reprove and rebuke
and exhort with patience he's telling
them listen to this reprove rebuke and
exhort with patience why does he need
patience let's find out why he needs
patience for the time is coming when
people will not endure they won't want
to hear it they won't want to hear it
for the time is coming when people will
not endure sound teaching what is sound
teaching sound Doctrine healthy words of
the Lord the words that are going to
help you grow spiritually people aren't
going to want to hear that
I heard a preacher a long time ago he
said this he said one day that he had a
Bible Conference or a Bible service and
he said this Bible Conference is going
to be dedicated to Breaking Down The
Book of Matthew like that's what it what
it was going to be dedicated for a
service to break down the Book of
Matthew and then about a month later he
had a service and he said this service
is going to be dedicated to speaking
about the Book of Revelation and the
prophecies in the Book of Revelation
and then he had another service this
service is going to be dedicated to
spiritual warfare and demons and the
devil and the spiritual Realms of
Darkness so he had three conferences he
had one of spiritual warfare one of
Prophecy and one of going through the
Book of Matthew
and this is what the preacher found out
he didn't do it on purpose but this is
what he found out
he said when I made a service to go
through the Book of Matthew and just
explain the Book of Matthew
compared to the one of spiritual warfare
and the one of the Book of Revelation he
said the one of the Book of Revelation
and spiritual warfare those Services
were packed
but those same people that went to the
spiritual warfare service and those same
people that went to the Book of
Revelation service
the service that was just dedicated to
Breaking Down The Book of Matthew
it was empty hardly anybody went what
does that tell you
people have itching ears
people are just searching because of
Curiosities not because they really want
to learn do you know what's going to
give people Victory through those
spiritual warfares if they know the word
of God
if they know the word of God because one
of the weapons of our armor is the sword
of the spirit
what's going to give you Victory and
spiritual warfare is when you read the
word of God and practice the word of God
that's going to help you fight the
spiritual warfare do you know what's
going to have you ready do you know
what's going to have you ready from The
Book of Revelation and all the
prophecies that are going to happen in
the Book of Revelation do you know
what's going to get you ready for that
when you understand the word of God so
people see some things like boring and
people see other things like wow that's
really what I want to read
and that's why pathos Timothy Timothy
you got to reprove and exhort and rebuke
with patience because the time is coming
when you're going to be preaching
Timothy and people aren't going to want
to hear it people are going to not
endure sound teaching but having itching
ears they will accumulate you know what
I think about when I hear the word
accumulate I think of like when I was
little and I was at the beach and I was
making a sand castle and I would grab
the sand you know I would accumulate the
sand I would gather up the sand to make
a pile of sand that's literally what
Paul is saying he says they won't want
to hear the sound teaching but they will
accumulate they will gather for
themselves teachers to suit their own
passions when people want to get rich
who do they go to they go to a prophet
talking about how you can get rich when
people are all interested in demonic
warfare spiritual warfare who do they go
to they go to a man that's talking about
only demons only cussing out demons but
when people want to grow in faith what
do they go after somebody who's teaching
the word of God because the word of God
is was going to give you growth when you
are a doer of the word and not just a
hero of the word that's when God's
actually going to do something in your
life but the Bible says in the last days
people won't want to hear healthy
teaching people are gonna accumulate for
themselves profits after their own
desires I want to ask you something it's
your desire just to be finding out all
the time about the next trendy Christian
thing
or is your desire to grow spiritually
because if your desires to grow
spiritually I want to tell you fill
yourself with the word of God and don't
just be a hearer but be a doer and he
says as for you always be so reminded
endure suffering do the work of
evangelist and then he tells them this
fulfill your ministry fulfill your
ministry
he didn't tell him Timothy you're going
to fulfill your ministry when you find
out everything about spiritual warfare
he didn't tell him Timothy you're going
to find out your spiritual myth you're
going to fulfill your ministry when you
find out everything about the Book of
Revelation he said dedicate yourself to
teaching sound Doctrine and fulfill your
ministry do you know how you're going to
fulfill the work of God in your life
when you're a doer of the word and not
just to hear it and when you're not just
accumulating for yourself teachers that
are going to just tell you what you want
to hear but you're actually filling
yourself up with the word of God now
let's read the scripture that says if
you ignore this
you're not ignoring man but you're
ignoring God look what it says first
Thessalonians chapter four one through
seven
finally then Brothers we ask and urge
you in the Lord Jesus
that as you receive from us how you
ought to walk and to please God just as
you are so doing he starts off with this
we already told you how you're supposed
to be living did you know there's a way
that we're supposed to be living
the Christian life isn't left to your
interpretation or to my interpretation
there's a way that we should be living
the Bible says without Holiness no one
will see the Lord and that's what the
author of first Thessalonians is telling
the church he's telling them walk in the
ways that we told you to walking and
look what he tells him he says just as
you have received from us how you ought
to walk and to please God there's a way
that you can live that will please the
Lord
just as you are doing that you do so
more and more not only should we start
living a holy life a life that pleases
the Lord but the Bible says that we can
do it more and more in other words the
more you grow spiritually the more
you're going to understand and the more
that you're going to continue to walk in
Holiness and at one point things that
you didn't think were hindering your
spiritual walk the more you grow in the
Lord You're gonna be like man
I can't believe I didn't see this this
was hindering my walk all along I can't
believe I never saw this but you're
going to be able to grow more and more
and look what he continues to tell him
for you know what instructions we gave
you through the Lord Jesus Christ here
it comes if you ignore this you're not
ignoring man you're ignoring God for
this is the will of God you can know the
will of God
people are always asking what's the will
of God here he comes here's the will of
God for this is the will of God your
sanctification
which literally means your Holiness what
does the word holiness mean it doesn't
mean to be Flawless it means to be set
apart it means to be exclusive for the
Lord it means that you understand I no
longer live for myself but the life that
I now live I live it for the honor and
Glory of Jesus Christ the son of God who
paid the price for me a holy mindset is
when somebody understands I'm not living
for my self-gratification I'm not living
for my carnal Pleasures I'm not living
for my own sensualities oh I'm gonna go
through battles oh I'm gonna go through
Temptations but I'm not gonna surrender
to those things no more because I'm not
living for those things no more now I'm
living for the Lord when you think like
that you are pleasing the Lord when you
live like that you are in the will of
God look what he continues to say he
says that you abstain meaning reject
don't go to it don't let it in refuse it
that you abstain from sexual immorality
that each one of you know how to control
his body he's talking about Holiness
he's talking about not giving in to the
pleasures of the world that each of you
know how to control his own body in
Holiness and honor this is the will of
God this is the will of God that each
will know how to control his own body in
Holiness and honor not in the passions
of lust like the Gentiles who do not
know God he's saying live differently
than the people who don't know God the
people who don't know God they just let
themselves go in the passage of their
own lust but you're not like that you
should live in Holiness you should walk
a life controlling yourself
and look what the Bible continues to say
that no one transgress and wrong his
brother in this matter because the Lord
is an Avenger in all these things as we
told you beforehand and solemnly warns
you and look what verse 7 says for God
has not called us for impurity but for
Holiness God has not called you for
impurity but for Holiness the grace of
God will pick you back up
but the grace of God is not a hard pass
the grace of God will raise you up the
grace of God will forgive you the grace
of God will restore you oh believe me
you'll restore you but the grace of God
is not a hard pass and that's what the
author of Thessalonians is saying he's
saying for God has not called us for
impurity but for Holiness to be set
apart to have that mindset I don't
belong to the ways of the word I don't
belong to the carnal passes I belong to
God not for impurity but for Holiness
and here it is this is the verse that
says if you ignore this you're not
ignoring us you're ignoring God look
what it says this is not the teachings
of a man this is not the doctors of a
man these are not my teachings these are
not my adoptions these are the doctrines
of the Lord and look what verse 8 says
therefore
whoever disregards this in other words
whoever rejects this whoever ignores
this whoever doesn't pay attention to
this therefore whoever disregards this
disregards not man
but God
if you reject this what we just read
that God has called you for Holiness for
not not impurity that God has called you
to learn how to control yourself if you
reject this you're not rejecting me and
you're not rejecting the Bible you're
rejecting God
therefore whoever disregards this
disregards not man but God who gives his
holy spirit to you
he's saying the Holy Spirit
wants to help you walk in holiness but
when you reject this you're not
rejecting us you're rejecting the Holy
Spirit and if you reject the Holy Spirit
you're rejecting God he's saying if you
reject these words that God has called
you for Holiness and not impurity you're
not rejecting a man you're rejecting God
I want to let you know
we can know the will of God the Bible
told us that the Bible says that the
will of God is for us to walk in
sanctification in other words in
Holiness set apart for the Lord you're
not going to be perfect you're not going
to be Flawless you're going to make
mistakes
but repent because when you repent
you're acknowledging that was a sin
that did not please the Lord that is
wrong Lord forgive me
and even when you repent you're being
holy you know why because Holiness
doesn't mean you're Flawless Holiness
means that you set apart yourself for
the Lord that you know you're exclusive
for God so even when you repent you're
being holy because you understand that
doesn't honor the Lord
and you repent of it and you ask God to
forgive you of it and you continue to
walk forward with the Lord and He will
continue to wash you and continue to
cleanse you and you will grow in his
sanctification more and more
the Bible lets us know
that you're not going to stay the same
way
that God found you God's going to build
you up the Bible says he who started a
good work in you is faithful to finish
it God started to work in you don't get
distracted with living for impurity
continue to walk in that sanctification
continue to walk in that Holy mindset
that you're set apart that you're
exclusive for God that you no longer
live for your own carnal Pleasures now
you live for the honor and Glory of
Jesus Christ the son of God living that
mindset and God will continue the good
work that he started in you and if
you're failing the Lord if you're living
a life that doesn't please him repent
and ask them to forgive you and the
Bible tells us that he is faithful and
just to forgive us of all our sins and
to cleanse us from all unrighteousness
and the Bible says even though a
righteous man falls seven times seven
times the Lord will raise him back up
God wants to raise you up right now all
you need to do is repent of your sins
stand up spiritually speaking and
continue to go forth continue to trust
God don't trust in your emotions trust
in his word and he's going to finish the
good work that he started in you I hope
