*Don’t Die in the Wilderness*
*Deut.
1:20-35*
* *
I don’t know about you, but I’m a strong believer in the words of the Bible.
My bible says in */Romans 6:23/*, that “The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
It also tells me that “All have sinned and come short of the glory of God.”
It says to us that “If any man says he has no sins, he deceiveth himself, and the truth is not in him”.
That’s what the Bible says.
So, according to these scriptures, all of us must die.
Whether you want too or not, whether you will accept it or not, you may be in denial, but baby I need to tell you that all of us have got to leave here.
This world is not your home.
I know that this may bring disappointment to you, but there is hope for you tonight.
*/John 3: 16/* says, “For God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.”
You might one day have to die out of this body, but your spirit will never die.
If you will look back into creation, man is the only creature that God created and He breathed into him the breath of life.
Because God did that, our spirit cannot, and will not ever die.
The body must return unto the dust from whence it came, but our spirit will live forever.
There is one of two places that your spirit will go when you die out of this body, either heaven or hell.

He won’t put you in the fire.
Now, no man knows the day or the hour when death will come, but I can assure you that one day, if the rapture don’t catch you, death will come knocking at you door.
If you want to make it to heaven, you must follow those commanded that God has set before us down here on earth.
Earth is the dressing room.
Right here, right now is where you purchase your ticket to go to heaven.
This is where you get it right so that you won’t be left.
This is where you find spiritual life, so that you won’t have to worry about physical death.

The wilderness is a place of wandering.

Now-a-days, folks got their own little agendas for coming to church.
Some folks come to church because they have got to Usher,
or they are going to lead a song with the choir today.
Some come because they have got to teach Sunday School.
Some come only because they have got to see how the preacher is going to preach.
Some folk come to church only to find fault and to look for failures.
Some folks are possessed, distressed, and in a mess with demons, and they come only to tear down the vision that God so desires to build.
I need to tell you that all you are doing is wandering in the wilderness.

Verse 22, “And ye came near unto me every one of you, and said We will send men before us, and they shall search us out the land, and bring us word again by what way we must go up, and into what cities we shall come.”
Some churches today are the same way.
God has promised you that He will supply your every need.
