this woman here claims to be a prophet
and this conservative Pastor appears to
agree with her but wait for the plot
twist of the century thank you tonight I
appreciate you very very much God bless
you you wanted to say something to the
Calvary Chapel hey you guys know me as
as the few that are here from Calvary
Chapel is Pastor Scott it's good to see
a few of you over here and then a few of
you in the back and over on the side I
just wanted to say that yes I did talk
with her last night and I didn't know
much about her Ministry she was kind
enough to give me as many materials as
she could on the spot and her men were
perfect gentlemen to me inside and for
the rest of these seven days that she's
here any of you that come and any of our
friends that come we need to be deeply
respectful we need to show an intense
love to them
but above all of those things we need to
spend all of our time at the deepest
place of prayer praying that God indeed
would protect all those who hear this
false message that comes from her lips
he's another Evangelical pasta but this
time he's the one who's being
interrupted during the church service
[Music]
you're sharpening the sword
and saw each other
station is
Joel Osteen is perhaps the most famous
mega church pastor in all of the world
but here's what happened when a man
randomly stood up in the middle of his
congregation this is a King James
Version Bible
it says to put a difference between the
holy and the profane this Bible says no
man ever walked out of a confessional
with his sins forgiven
this Bible says that God loves you you
must turn your back on what is profane
this church is profane
repent believe the Bible obey the Bible
or you will not make heaven
this Bible says repent
it says Lord Lord
why do you say you love me but the most
famous interruption in all of church
history did not happen in a massive big
mega church but in a small fellowship
with a group of Believers breaking bread
and taking part in the Lord's Supper The
Apostle Paul had one last night with
this particular Church before he made a
long journey to another part of the
world so as you can imagine Paul wanted
to cram the believer's minds with as
much biblical insight as possible and so
his sermon went on a little bit longer
than usual we've all been there before
we've all sat through a long sermon
thinking when is this going to end well
this sermon finished at midnight which
is pretty late by any preacher's
standard and picture it in your mind's
eye the room is full of people there's
lots of candles that are burning on warm
light and then there's a young man
called uticus who sat on a windowsill
and as the sermon goes on and on and as
the night gets later and later and as
the room gets warmer and warmer you
because his eyes get heavier and heavier
until
he falls asleep and falls to his death
from a three-story building everyone is
in shock what's going to happen to this
young man he's gone what's the Apostle
Paul going to do the Bible says what
Paul did is he fell on this young man
and embraced him and suddenly something
much more powerful than any medication
the power of Christ was infused back
into that young man's body and he was
alive and that young man knew to kiss
went upstairs with the Apostle Paul and
continued to break bread but I'll tell
you one thing he did not fall asleep
again he did not make that mistake twice
but here is the craziest thing of all
the word uticus means fortunate one and
I want to tell you something right now
you are incredibly fortunate why am I
fortunate you were fortunate because you
were sat on the window of Eternity and
outside things are getting dark outside
midnight is drawing in you turn on the
news and you see the evil is spreading
everywhere you turn on the new and you
see the powers of Darkness have come
everywhere all over the face of this
Earth and they are waiting for you they
are waiting for you to close your eyes
for you to fall into a deep sleep but
this time there will not be an apostle
Paul to wake you up if you fall into
this Darkness you will never wake up
again and so I have two words for every
single person who can hear my voice
today and it's these two words stay
awake just this week I've been shocked
to hear about celebrities influencers
who are 25 28 19 years old and they've
been struck down in the prime of their
life Gone Forever they're in front of
the Lord Jesus right now and everything
they've done in their life will be
judged Every Lie they've told every
blasphemy every time they've looked at
things they shouldn't have all is
revealed and they stand there exposed
before the almighty Creator God and what
hope do they have did they put their
trust in the Lord Jesus Christ we've all
got a friend who died far too young and
I'm telling you right now today you need
to be prepared Jesus told a story of 10
unmarried women waiting for the
bridegroom return for they were invited
to enter into a Wedding Banquet five of
the women were wise and five of the
women were foolish the Wise Women always
made sure they had extra oil to ensure
that their lamp was burning but the
foolish women were complacent and
decided it'll be okay we'll get some oil
when it's really needed eventually
because the bridegroom was gone for so
long and he tarried all of the women
fell asleep and then there was a cry
that was heard he's coming he's coming
the bridegroom's on his way and all the
women rushed up trying to light their
lamps the Wise Women of course had oil
and they lit their lamps instantly but
the foolish women pleaded and begged the
other women oh could we just borrow some
of yours so we can light our lamps but
the Wise Women said we can't lest there
not be enough for us how will we be able
to light our lamps if we give you our
oil too so the foolish women ran off to
the market to try and buy some more oil
and while they were gone on the
bridegroom arrived The Wedding Banquet
was open and those five Wise Women
entered and then the doors were shut
when the foolish women made their way
back they saw that the doors were shut
and they knocked and they cried please
let us in let us enter into the Banquets
but the bridegroom said to them no
I do not know you Jesus Christ warned
watched therefore for you know neither
the day nor the hour wherein the son of
man comes oh my dear friend today while
you can get oil for your lamp and keep
your lamp burning because I can promise
you one thing death is coming and one
thing I'm even more sure of than death
is coming and that's Jesus will return
and some of you are not ready for either
some of you you're standing here and
you're admitting to me right now that
yes I'm like you to kiss I've fallen
fast asleep I've drifted from the
spiritual teachings that my parents put
into my life when I was a young man or a
young woman I've drifted from reading
the Bible I've drifted from church I've
drifted from the gospel I found myself
stuck in a deep pit of sin and I've
wallowed in the mire of sin for so long
right now that I don't even know how I'd
get out of it if that's you and you
realize that your heart is Stone Cold
know this God is waiting to burn it
again set it on fire again put the light
in it again but you have a job to do you
need to get the oil for your lamp let me
ask you a question when you first heard
that story how many of you expected the
Apostle Paul to get angry at uticus for
falling asleep how many of you thought
that that you'd just go off on one and
say it's your own fault you should not
have fallen asleep you should not have
been so apathetic when the word of God
the precious words of the Bible were
being preached and yet you fell asleep
but what does Paul do he doesn't get
angry he Embraces the young man can I
use this word he hugs the young man and
just wants to make sure that he's okay
there's no condemnation whatsoever and
my dear friend that's exactly how God
treats you and I at times we're lazy in
our connection with him at times we
neglect our relationship with him times
we forget him but if we come back
through the cross there is a promise
there that God will always Embrace us
he'll always bring us back because he
loves us just like any father who's
watching this video right now doesn't
matter how much your children rebelled
against you does it matter how much they
spat in your face if they came back
humbly every single one of you would
wrap your arms around them and say I
love you I can't let go of you my dear
friend look at the cross today see the
Son of God the Lord Jesus Christ holding
out his arms wide for all of humanity
saying I'm bleeding him I'm dying here
for your habitual sin for your lies for
your drifting for all of the wrong
things you've done I'm dying here
because I love you come to the place of
Mercy where the blood was shed and that
blood can wash your whites and snow come
to the one who Embraces all Sinners and
breathes his life into their lungs dead
men and dead women who have no desire
for God can have the life breathed back
into them eternal life and a spiritual
appetite for the things of God come to
Jesus Christ but you have to be willing
you have to be willing to put oil in
your lamp to humble yourself and to come
and that is my question for you today
are you willing or will you be like
those foolish women who fell fast asleep
and ignored the fact that the bridegroom
was coming and if you are a Believer and
you have found yourself drifting away
the same message is for you stay awake
but you do not know when the bridegroom
will return let me let you into a secret
sometimes when I'm preaching I get
attacks from the evil one negative
thoughts and one of those thoughts
entered my mind just a moment ago I can
imagine people saying now Joe you're
being too soft you're being too loving
do you ever preach the severity of God
well if you truly believe that that you
never hear me preach anything about the
Judgment of God you to watch this video
right now because I think it'll wake
some of you up and if you haven't yet
subscribed please do consider
subscribing I really would value the
opportunity to be able to speak to you
again about the things of God
