Speaker 1 (00:01):
Whatever your sin is, the moment you come to the Lord,
he will take you into the core of His heart,
no matter how many times you've sinned, no matter how
far you are right now those who are listening as
well and watching us through life streaming. No matter who
(00:22):
you are and what you are, no matter how many
sins you have committed in your life, and no matter
how many voices you're hearing in your head saying it's
too late, God will not be interested in someone like
you because you have sinned beyond recognition. God will not
waste his breath and time on you. Do not listen
(00:43):
to say it in the Father of all lives. Come
to Christ as you are full of filth from head
to toe, inside and out, and throw yourself at his
holy feet and say, Lord, I have sinned before you
and Heaven. I'm not worthy to be called your son
nor your daughter. But I am coming hoping that your
mercy will carry me. Lord, cleanse me with that precious
(01:07):
blood that you shed on the cross on Calvary for me. Lord.
I need you, Lord, I beg you, Lord, I beseech you.
The moment you turn to Christ wholeheartedly, the moment you
are honest with yourself before God. God has made you
from a sinner to a saint, from a slave to
the Son of God, from somebody is sinning and living
(01:31):
and swimming in sin, to the light and to the
holiness of God. You need to be honest and you
need to believe in this. The moment you come to
the Lord meaning what you're saying, the rest is history.
(01:57):
The rest is history. The Lord said it in John
six thirty seven. The one who comes to me, I
will by no means cast them out. I will refuse
no one that knocks at my door, at the door
of my mercy, I will refuse nobody. I will reject nobody.
I will deny nobody. If you truly and genuinely mean it,
(02:23):
I will cast no one out. There are millions, my beloved,
there are millions in she all as we speak, begging
the Lord Jesus for one minute, another chance, one minute. Lord,
we beg you, just give us one minute to offer
(02:45):
you a genuine repentance. But the Lord says to them,
you did not know the time of your visitation. How
many times I knocked at your door, but you are
too busy for me. How many times I begged you,
but you were stubborn. How many times I seeked one
(03:08):
moment give your Christ. You chose the world, the pleasure
of the world over Jesus Christ. You were too busy
flying here and there. You were too busy hitting the
jackpot in Star City Casino. You were too busy sniffing
the white powder. You were too busy gambling. You were
(03:30):
too busy drinking. You were too busy with men and
women and in between. And I don't know what the
world is doing. So sick, so sad, so sad. Today,
(03:53):
if you will hear his voice, do not harden your
hearts Hebrews three point fifteen. Today, if you will hear
his voice, do not harden your hearts, open your heart
and say, Lord, I need you, I beg you. Whatever
you do, Lord, don't ever walk away from me. Whatever
you do, Lord, don't leave me behind. Lord. I can't
(04:17):
come to you, but you can. Lord. I cannot change
but you can change me. Lord. I don't know how
to find you, but you are able to find me.
You are the good shepherd who went out into the
wilderness of this world seeking the lost sheep, and you
never went back until you found it and brought it
back to the fauld Lord lead me to green pastures
(04:38):
and still waters. Even though I walk through the valley
of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil,
for you are with me. Your staff and your rod.
They comfort me. The Cross carries me even through the
shadow of the valley of death, even though I walk
and tread on the territory of hell. When I have
the Cross, I will step on Satan and all of
(05:02):
his foul spirits and all of his evil plans. Because
when Christ opens the eye, no one can shut it.
No one. Jesus Christ is God. If somebody says he's
a prophet and stops there, he's mistaken. If somebody says
(05:25):
he's a holy man and stops there, he is mistaken.
If somebody says Jesus Christ never existed, he is definitely mistaken.
Until you confess that He is God revealed in the flesh,
there will never be peace in you Jerusalem, and Jerusalem
is not add least is your heart, your inner being.
(05:48):
You know, people have tried everything under the sun to
live in peace. They became so rich, they became stu famous,
globally famous, Hollywood celebrities, and at the end they killed themselves.
(06:10):
Why because some of them even wrote and said, we
seeked money, and we made plenty of it. We seeked
fame and we became extremely famous. We seek power, prestige,
you name it, and we achieved it all. But we
were never able to achieve one thing. The hardest we tried,
(06:35):
and the horizons we reached, but inside of us was
always a vacuum, emptiness. The moment we went into our
own room and closed the door of that room, which
is in a humongous mansion hundreds of millions of dollars
in the United States of America, And when I said,
(06:59):
on my either billionaire and I closed my eyes, I
looked inside of me. There was emptiness. There was this orientation,
there was chaos. I was never at peace, And that's
why I chose to end this miserable life. I gained everything,
(07:23):
but I lost myself at the end. What does it
benefit a man if he gains the whole world and
loses himself at the end. But blessed are you when
you lose it? For me, ay Jesus Christ of Nazareth,
because I'll guarantee you will find that at the end,
because I am the only one who will fill that
inner gap. And for this reason, God, in his infinite wisdom,
(07:49):
he put inside of you an infinite space. Have you
thought about it? When you close your eyes, what do
you see? Nothing but space? Can you see the beginning
of this space? No? Can you see the end of
this space? It is endless. You know why it is endless.
(08:11):
We are a minute piece of dust in this earth,
in this galaxy, in this universe. We are nothing. You
can barely see us, maybe not, But inside of us
is an infinite space. Because God is sending a profound
message to all of us. I put that space to
tell you no one can fill that infinite space except
the infinite God. When you turn back to him, I
(08:34):
will fill that space and you will no longer feel
miserable anymore. You need God. You need God. There is
no guarantee, my beloved, where I will be tomorrow. Your past,
the Lord Jesus dealt with it with his precious blood.
(08:56):
Your future it is in the palm of the most
power full hand of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. The only
thing you have is this present moment. Because you did
not know the time of your visitation. Is there a
(09:17):
time of visitation? Yes? What is the time of visitation.
An example, a friend comes to you and says, come on,
let's go to church. The Lord is visiting you. Sickness.
The Lord is visiting you, visiting you through a sickness.
A funeral service. I attended a funeral service because somebody
(09:38):
known to me passed away suddenly. So I went to
church to pay my respect. And then I realized what
am I doing. My best friend just died, my father
just passed away, my mother just left me, my sibling
just left me. Is this the world I'm chasing? Is
(10:03):
this the world that I've been fighting for to gain?
And the world what will it give me at the end?
Nothing but a grave and some termites. That is a
time of visitation. It's a time of awakening the heart.
(10:30):
Think my son, think my daughter. Next time, before you
do anything, pray and ask the Lord for direction. Amen.
The first ease of the Lord Jesus of the Tomb
(10:52):
took us out of corruption, out of death, and saved
us from death and set us free from the shackles.
I can tease of the Lord Jesus at the city
of your soul or your heart were to bring us
back to him once again. Because my beloved, what made
us go into the tone was our sin, because the
(11:12):
wages of sin is death, and all of us initially
sinned at the beginning. All of us are sinners. When
we sinned, we death entered and conquered us. And when
death entered, our place became the grave. The Lord Jesus
came and shed his tears of the grave and raised
(11:32):
us from the dead. When he raised me from the dead,
gave me life. And then he said to the disciples,
the church leaders, the teachers, loosened him and set him free,
let him go. When I was loosened, I went back
and sinned again. The Lord did not come to the
(11:55):
grave again, but came to the city because you are
raised once, but the next time you are disciplined, not raised.
So he will come to the city of your heart
and discipline you. He will shed teas. You know why
(12:19):
teas because a true parent, a true parent that disciplines
their children. They discipline their children based on love, and
when they hurt their children, they cry for it. When
a father smacks his son because of his disobedience, because
(12:43):
he's being stubborn, he left no choice for the father
to smack him. When a father disciplines, I'm talking about
a genuine father, not someone who has deserted his family,
not someone who has walked away from his children. I'm
talking about a genuine father that has sacrificed his life
to raise a well mannered family, a Christian family for
(13:04):
Jesus Christ. When that father is left no choice, smacks
his son to wake him up. The son gets hurt
for a day, for a week, for a month, then
he forgets. But the father, for as long as he lives,
never forgets that one day he smacked his son. Why
(13:24):
because the father is all love. Love never wants to hurt.
Love wants to heal, not hurt. But when you leave
love no choice, it will hurt you. In order to
heal you. The Lord disciplines us with teas in his
(13:46):
eyes because he's all love. Our heavenly Father smacks us
with teas running down his face because he never wants
to do that, but we left him choice but to
discipline us. The Lord Jesus will never ever leave you
(14:08):
to perish after he had raised you from the dead,
because he made a promise to his dad. Heavenly Dad, Father,
those whom you have given me, I will not let
anyone be lost except the son of perdition. Judas has
(14:29):
carried it. He made a promise. So after I raised
you all from the dead with my precious blood, I
promise you I will not leave you to perish ever again.
And this is why I am left with no choice.
When you go back to your sinful life again. After
(14:49):
I've raised you, I will come and I will begin
disciplining you until you raise the white flag and surrender
one once again to your Messiah. I will not leave
you to go through trials on your own, because I
know you are not capable of going through them alone.
(15:11):
You need God with you and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one. I can't do
it Lord without you, I beloved, the Lord is responsible
for our lives. He will bring you back to him. Yes,
(15:32):
he will the easy way, the hard way. He will
bring you back to him. Why don't you come to
him the easy way and don't force him to use
the hard way, because if he is forced to use
the hard way, rest assure he will not hesitate one
split second. He will do anything and everything just to
(15:57):
bring you back to him once again. If it takes
that he needs to break you, he will. If it
takes that he allows a sickness come your way, he
will if it takes, wherever it takes, He will use
any mean and every mean just to bring you to him.
Come with love, with an open heart. Don't be stubborn,
(16:21):
because if you are stubborn, the Lord will start breaking
that heart until you say, Son of David, have mercy
on me, either, sinner, Amen, the tears of the grave
to raise us, the tears of the city to change us.
Whatever your sin is, the moment you come to the Lord,
he will take you into the core of His heart,
no matter how many times you've sinned, no matter how
far you are right now those who are listening as
well and watching us through life streaming. No matter who

So he will come to the city of your heart

because the father is all love. Love never wants to hurt.
Love wants to heal, not hurt. But when you leave
love no choice, it will hurt you. In order to
