week, and God gave you aword because like all of you, I've
been praying for direction. Yeah,asking God what is going on? Number
one? And what to do?Number two? A man and I heard

(00:45):
from God this week and literally heardhis voice speaking. This is what he
told me. He said, heplays the world on pause. Everything of
you, poopball. God, Godhas paused. You're eating out, your
movies, your recreation, you're workingout Gods that I put on pause,

(01:10):
everything that we've put before him,Gods that I put on pause. As
Carlo was saying, God wants usto himself. We have allowed distractions to
take his place on his throne.So God's place now only America, but
the whole world. God says,I place on pause, that he mayn't

(01:36):
get our at tension. He iscoming soon. I'm soon, and it's
time to get our houses in order. And this God said, this is
not gonna last. His head willcome off the pause button, and many
gonna return back to the old ways. But those who look at God will

(02:00):
be strong and do exploits. Well. God has our tension. We gotta
give him everything. Halleluiah. Somebodysaying, man, somebody, we can't
allow destructions and things to take God'splace, because we all have been guilty
of putting everything before our gods byallowing things to get our teaching, a

(02:27):
teaching grabbers to take away his divineglory. And we want to give God
glory. Done with hallelujah. Ifyou have your Bibles this morning, go
with me to the book of Proverbstwenty one, and I ask God,
as amazing God gave me this wordeven before this all happened Proverbs twenty one

(02:55):
in verse twenty and I'm we're preachingon this morning. This is the wake
up car, This is the wakeup car. Amen, Glorious Father,
we thank you Lord for your glory. We thank you Father for your voice
this morning. Lord and Father,we pray right now in the name of

(03:19):
Jesus, Lord, that we speakfaithfully your word. Lord, set your
word on fire and our harsh thismorning, Lord, let your word follow
good ground, Lord, and Ipray follow that through this word, Lord,
that you may get our teaching Lord, that we truly can be ready,
Lord, people of a paid father, and people ready, and we

(03:44):
come against every destruction right now,every henry's firit of the devil. Make
a word of God, follow goodground that produce in the name of Jesus.
Jesus Amen Man Brothers twenty one andtwenty says there is desirable treasure in
oil in the dwelling of the wise, but a foolish man squanders it Luke

(04:14):
twenty one and thirty five. Andafter that matt dw twenty five. I'm
gonna read a little bit this morning, Luke twelve and thirty five. If
there ever a time we need menof God to hear from God, that
time is now and to preach whatGod is says was people. It says,

(04:39):
let your waiste be girded, orin other words, be dressed for
service, and your lamps, Bernie, can you say hey man? And
finally Matthew twenty five, verses onethrough thirteen, I'm gonna read them all.
We're gonna give you thus safe theLord this morning, Matthew twenty five

(05:01):
and one, then the kingdom ofheavens shall be like it. To ten
virgins who took their lamps and wentout to meet the bridegroom. Now five
of them were wise, and fivewere foolish. Those who were foolish took
their lamps and took no oil withthem, But the wise took oil and

(05:23):
their vessels with their lamps. Butwhile the bridegroom was delayed, they all
slumbered as slept, And at midnightand quite was heard, behold, the
bridegroom is coming. Go out tomeet him. And all those virgins arose
and trimmed their lamps. And thefoolish said to the wise, give us

(05:44):
some of your oil, for ourlamps are going out. But the wise
answer saying no, lest there shouldnot be enough for us and you.
But go rather to those who sailedand buy for yourselves. And while they
went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in

(06:06):
with him to the wedding, andthe door was shut. Afterwards, the
other versions came, also, saying, Lord Lord, open to us.
When he answered and said, surely, I say to you, I do
not know you watch therefore, oryou know neither the day nor the hour

(06:29):
in which the Son of Man iscoming. Amen, this is the wickup
car. You may be seated,Glory to God. The Bible tales of
a parable of the ten versions whowere preparing for the return of the bridegroom.
Now in the Middleitian culture, weddingstook place at nighttime, and the

(06:55):
bride and the brides man had togo to her home and wait for the
coming of the bridegroom. The bridegroomwould come at any time, so the
bride's man had to have their lampsalways ready to light the way for the

(07:16):
bridegroom. Because there was night,there was no street and manners, so
their responsibility was to keep their lampsburning. Can just say, man,
somebody, and you know it isa privilege that when someone chooses you to
be in their wedding, give mea bit of the wedding that you were

(07:36):
singled out for responsibility to attend tothe bride. And they all had the
same responsibility. Now in your storythat I'm gonna talk about today is for
principal characters, the wise, thefoolish, the bridegroom, and the one

(08:00):
that people forget about is the messenger, the one who had the midnight cry?
Can just say amen? Now theresponsibility. The lamp represents the word
of God. The Bible says,thy word is a lamp until my feet,
and a light until my path.He all represents the power of the

(08:22):
annoyanting or the Holy Spirit. Sonot only did they had to have a
word of God, but they needto get annawning of God to carry them
through. Can you say, man, so many have the word but no
annoying. So many have a lanternbut no light. Hallelujah. Be ready
earlier than the Bible says that haveyour lamps always burning that needs hallelujah.

(08:45):
Have your life always ready to beready for the bridegroom. And unfortunately many
of us lights are going out,my Lord, they don't shine the way
they used to shine. The wivesare those who are spiritually prepared, and

(09:11):
the foolish of those who are notpreparation. It's always important to God because
we don't know that they know thehour when God will call us. And
you say that somebody, but wealways are to be dressed for service.

(09:31):
Have your waist girt about. Thatmeans being ready at any time. Are
you dressed for service? And theycan you say that somebody? Have our
narves? Have our lights burning?The Bober says, oil is in a
twelly of the wife. But thefoolish squandered. How many opportunities have we

(09:52):
had? And we squandered it.We squandered the annointing. We squander the
time to prepare for us return.If the Lord were to come back at
this very moment, any of us, we'll be drest for service and our

(10:13):
lamps burning bright. So we're gonnatalk about a few things a day.
The number one, the wise andthe food is can you say, hey,
man? Now, the virginess representsnot the world and the church.
It represents the church because they areall called what virgins and it all were

(10:37):
appointed by God to hold up thelight to prepare the way for the bridegroom
to this morning, are you holdingup your life? Is your light shining,
bride? Or is your life simplygoing out? We got responsibility to
hold the light up to shine.Partly the world is looking right now for

(11:01):
some life. All they can seeis darkness, and we must shine and
show forth the lights. But areyou ready so we can go back into
the story and read it one moretime. Go Backeluah, Verse one,
listen, Then the kingdom of Heavenshall be light light to ten virgins.

(11:30):
What's this? It reads in theGreek at this time? What time the
last generation? Shall the kingdom ofheaven be like ten? Rise? Name
five? We're prepared. Five wasunprepared. Because no matter what you have

(11:50):
in church, you also have thosewho are ready, and those who are
not ready, those who the bambersays are wise, and then those who
are foolish. Again, when nottalking about the world, we're talking about
church. Can you say, then, people on watch this their lamps and
went to meet the bright room,that all was responsible for having the lamps.

(12:13):
Can you say, then they allhad the word of God and no
one they all took the limps.We all got them. We're responsible for
the word of God that's in ourlives. Now watch this. Everybody had
to carry their own lamp. Everybodyhad to have their own lights. Now

(12:37):
they all started out were lights thatare shining. You Remember when you got
saved, Remember when you got touched, Remember when you got annoying it?
Your light was shining brightly. Theyall had the lamps that all had responsibility
to hold up that lamp to lightthe way. God. They didn't I

(13:00):
know when the bridegon was coming,but they always had a hand that laft
with them. So many times wedon't have a word with us. When
trouble comes, the word goes.Kip Boy says, Now five of them

(13:20):
were wise and five were foolish.Those who were foolish took their lamps and
took no more with them. Watchthose who were foolish, they took their
lamps, but they didn't take anyboil. Because you know what, sometimes
hold us for a second. Weonly won just enough, just enough when

(13:50):
I go to church, well,just enough to feel good about myself.
I prayed, just enough to sayI'm talking to God. It maybe a
minute or two, maybe on theway to work, or maybe on the
way to the boler. Now you'reon the way to something. We just
have just enough. They had theword and they had light at one time,

(14:15):
but they just had enough. NowI understand the laps in those days
were small. It only get carryinga little oil, so if you kept
burning, it had to be replenished. Are you catching what I'm saying?
It was soon run out. Butwhen you have just enough to get by.

(14:37):
Now. Some of you right now, you probably got just enough gas
to get home. Hallo, hellolou, hallo. Yah, we just
just got enough. But if thereis a delay, some of you're gonna
be calling for to lay because yougot just enough to get where you're going.
But what if is there is adivine delay? Come on, so

(15:01):
we are foolish because we just gotjust enough. They took the lamps because
they were they were shiny at onetime, but they took the extra.
You gotta have extra. You justcan't have a work. You gotta have

(15:22):
an extra. Can you say,man, you have a you need an
extra noughty. You need the extrato pull you through. Now the wise?
The what? But the wise tookoil in their vessels. Oh I
love that with the watch this theywere prepared for the unexpected. We're not

(15:48):
prepared for the unexpected. What wasthe unexpected? The delay of the bride
group. If you have just enoughto get by the day, you're not
prepared for the unexpected. That's whywhere the trial comes. We're on the
faces. Why the unexpected happened?Because we had just enough oil. But

(16:19):
the wise took the latterns and theytook extra oil. How many got extra
this morning? It's the extra theyget you through the trial. It's an
extra hallelujah, we're trial and testcom that gets you through. They took
oil with them. They had theannoying because just coming here getting a little

(16:48):
bit word. But now I bangit. It's not gonna get you through.
They took the lamps. But anextra. You can't for your car
once year. Now you can't foryour bellies up once a day. You

(17:11):
need the extra. You see,the extra tells you I prepare for whatever
may happen, because if you knowit's in this life the unexpected always happens.
Loss comes, traffic it comes,sickness comes, disease comes, things
come. The unexpected happens. Itis the anointing that gets you through.

(17:37):
God said, my grace is sufficient. In other words, my extract is
sufficient for you. It will takeyou through. But then it take the
extra. But the wise is,you know what I need more Jesus.

(17:57):
Every day. I just want toread. Once a day. I want
to be in my word. Guesswhat now you can't go a little where?
Come on? Now you can't goto the gym and get your workout
on. You're getting strong physically,but yo, yo, you' a skinny

(18:18):
man on the inside. Now youcan't go to the movies. Now,
you can't do what you want todo. Now you can't go to the
beaches. Now you gotta go beforethe bridegroom, and says Lord, you
got my attention now, and yousaid an somebody. But while the bridegroom

(18:45):
was delayed, they all slumbered.As I'm giving a little ahead of myself.
Go to the Visians with quickly mesicalthe Fisians for mean visions five and
they take must the annointing. TheBible says about five and fourteen. That's

(19:10):
the wise and the foolish. Yougot it fight a point, everybody got
it. Okay. Therefore, hesays, awake, you who are sleep,
arise from the day, and Christwill give you light. Good Christ

(19:36):
will give you, He says,arise. I'm talking about the wicking Partcat,
I haven't got there yet, butwe're told to. Christ is going
to give you what light? Howmany light today? Because you even know
why life appears. He got fromsome of the morning that blew my mind.
He says, He gave me firstshout one and seven. It says,

(19:56):
walking the light at his in thelight, and when you're walking,
you see light reveals when when lifereveals something to you, then the blood,
just a clins is what God's revealeda man, it says, when
you walk in the light, thenit's blood would cleanse you all your sins.
Why we need light, it revealsto us what we need to clean
it up. Somebody say that keepgonna watch this. See then that you

(20:19):
walk circumspectively, not a schools.But that's why we deem the time,
because the days are evil. Itsays, walk with wisdom. Walk with
wisdom, in other words, beone of the wines who is always prepared,
understanding what the will of God is. Keep going, and do not

(20:40):
be drunk with the wine. Allthe bars are clothes. Somebody saying,
hallelujah. What they need to dois called every virus a beer name or
liquor name. Everybody would stop doingit. Can you say, a man,
don't gonna corona right now? Becauseof the Christ last, So when
I proposed that we need every virus, every city named after a beard or

(21:02):
a popular drink, patrone, hallelujah, wherever your favorite name. Johnny Walker
whatever your drink is, that's namessomething after it. Then you stop giving,
you give it up. So itsays, don't be drunk with wine.
So God said, I'm gonna makesure pause. Can't go to the

(21:22):
clubs no more. I'm putting thaton pause. So it says, don't
be drunk with wine, but bewhat said Hallelijah, get that extra,
be filled with the spirit. Hadthat extra. God wants our chinchion.

(21:45):
He wants us to be filled withthe spirit. Why says dosin extra,
isn't it It's more than just comingto church. It needs to be and
watch this. It don't mean onetime experience. It needs take continually feel.

(22:07):
When you leave here, you shouldbe exercising your faith. It justis
your faith. The annoytingly leaves yourbody. You remember when the woman Jesus,
he says he felt the power leadout of him. Someone. Are
you still full because you ain't doinganything? It says to be continually feeled.

(22:30):
That means if I'm continually feeled,that means I'm always doing something for
God because I'm using the annoytingsides they'renot annoyting. So let's being filled with
the spirit. It's having that extrathat's gonna take you through. It's more
than a song. It's more thana praise in a dictor through all the

(22:52):
suffering, all the trials, allthe testing. It is the extra.
Now Par two go back over toMatthew five and asked the bridegroom delayed,
you know what, seeing I've beensaved since the seventies, and I've been

(23:18):
looking at some way for y'all wasborn, hey man, I've been looking
for Jesus for that long, heyman, to come back, because they've
been saying he's coming back before Iwas born. I want you to rid
this a rook costly. Now.I've been saved, probably not long with

(23:38):
everybody in here and every since Igot saved. That I got saved because
of the rapture. When I heardabout the rapture, it caused me to
be saved. And I studied revelation, I studied the rapture. I study
everything about the rapture. And I'vebeen waiting for his return for so long

(24:00):
It'll be easy to give up hopesaying, well, he's not coming back,
because they've been saying that forever.So it says, while the bridegroom
delayed, Part two of this iscalled the sleeping church. Reading at the
midden first, But while the bridegroomwas delayed, they are slumbered and slept.

(24:26):
Oh well, it says the wiseand the foolish, they fell asleeper.
We're talking about the sleeping church,the church that's unaware, a church
that is in deep slumber, achurch that needs to be wakened up.

(24:56):
While he delayed, they stop lookingfor him. You've ever been like that?
They got a little careless. Andyou know how when a promise don't
come right away, we get realrelaxed, we get real careless. So

(25:19):
the sleepy church is the lukewarm church. It's a church that is totally unaware.
I wanna tell you four things aboutsleep. You ready. Number One,
you don't know if you sleep untilyou wake up? Come on,

(25:41):
you ever did that? As youdon't realize she was sleeping until somebody wake
you up? But guess what thisis the wake up car. Number two,
you do things in your sleep youwouldn't normally do when you walk.

(26:03):
Number three, you hate the soundof the alarm, yes, and you
sain't Then when you're in a deepsleep you lesson you want to hear?
Is the wake up call. Butthis is the wake up call, is

(26:25):
telling the church to arise from yoursleep. It's telling you, what's this
when you're in a deep sleep.Nothing they disturbs you. Catch this all
kind of scene could be around us. It don't disturb us. We can

(26:45):
watch anything on TV. It don'tdisturb us. We can put things before
God. It doesn't. They disturbus. Why we're in a deep sleep.
Nothing arouses you in a deep sleep. My sons kids London and Jamaica,

(27:11):
not Jamaica, London and Donald.I watched them sometimes. I think
the fallest came I had. Iwatched them and take them at school in
the morning, and them are thetwo hardest kids to wake up. I
could scream, get up, collar, they just like they're just in another

(27:33):
world. I could shake them.They're either open for a brief moment and
shut right back down. Why they'rein a deep sleep. And that's what
the church is at. Nothing disturbsus. Not gonna let it happened.
It didn't disturb us enough to continue. Once the fearless over wit, everybody

(28:00):
went back to their old ways.Hurricanes happened, it didn't disturb us.
Famine happened, it didn't disturb us. Fires came. It didn't disturb us.
Last year, now you get thelocusts. That's unprecedented in the Middle

(28:22):
East and in Africa. It didn'tdisturb us because it's not here. But
now that it is year. Whenit happened in China, nobody said anything.
Well that's China. They don't believeit God anyway. And when it

(28:47):
happened in other countries, well that'sother countries. It don't affect us anyway.
Why it didn't disturb us because wewere sleeping, it says the Romans.
It says now it's a high timeto wake out of sleep. This
