2.2.2020 1st Sunday

And I want you to pray about it come this February.

And read the pamphlet that we handed out and read the scripture that we suggested you read and I'll tell you one one version the script that really touched me and Daniel 10.

and it goes

And said, oh man greatly beloved.

fear not peace be unto thee. Be strong.

Be strong and when he had spoken unto me I was strengthened.

And said, let my Lord speak for that now. Has strengthened me.

sauternes to the Lord when you are weak.

For he will make you strong.

Which brings me to another scripture before we start the message today and deliver them that my unconventional a message to you today?

And we all know it.

Our Father which art in heaven Hallowed be thy name thy kingdom come thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors and lead us not into temptation but Deliver Us from Evil for thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever amen God bless you all you may be seated.

I suffer through the the little hunger pains and in the what I learned is when your belly start into your backside.

Then a little headache came and the little headache wins. but every time this little bit of pain came to me, I realized the greatness or or or the greater power to being that there is in my tiny little bit of suffering

rhino in the morning. I would wake up and I'd be able to eat. Which is a blessing in itself when others don't have that opportunity.

And every time I stumbled around my stomach growls over my head to hurt a little bit or my head got a little lightheaded. I took that opportunity to remind myself what I am doing in and spoke to the Lord in prayer. I prayed for myself the church and I pray for each one of you. That we would be a blessing to one another and to the neighborhood as a body of Christ should be.

Finding out has the title of my message today. Is this is your wake-up call?

And it's coming from 2nd Peter.

I want to bring you to the beginning of Peters greeting. He says Simon Peter. a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ when you identify yourself, how do you identify yourself? He was clear and he was precise of what he was about. And you wrote 2nd Peter probably in Rome in jail.

shortly before He was martyred.

And then closing 2nd Peter 2 versus he was referring to Paul. And he says as he does it all of his letters when he speaks in them of these matters. There are some things in them that are hard to understand. Which are the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction. As they do the other scriptures you therefore be loved knowing this beforehand. Take care that you are not carried away with the error of the Lawless people and lose your own stability. But grow in the grace and knowledge of your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.

Beginning to my scripture today 2nd Peter 31 1 through 4.

Peter goes now. This is the second letter that I am writing to you beloved and both of them. I am stirring up your sincere mind in the way of a reminder.

That's not how somebody would say it now a days. Now, this is the second time. I'm telling you this my love. I'm trying to stir something up in your heart.

That you should remember remember the predictions of the Holy prophets and Commandments of the Lord and Savior through your apostles. I almost see this as you need to listen to your mother and father and your Elder cuz I've been through it before and I'm telling you what needs to be done. Don't make the same mistakes that I have made or the other people before you have made. I'm telling you we're warning you.

knowing first of all that the scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing

following their own sinful desires They will say it. Where is the promise of his coming?

Forever since the fathers fell asleep. All things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation.

Oh we pity the foolish.

now I ask you to dig down deep into your hearts and your minds and let us take let me take you through an example and a focus on today's life or it today situation. And let me start with vacations.

the planning

will it be relaxing? Will it be active? What will I pack?

When will we be leaving?

And in the in the preparation, we think about the hotels. the researching will it have a pool? Will it be pets there? How many beds in a room will there be?

all the comparing

the reserving

And then we talked about the travels. the roads

we think about the other drivers. We think about the weather.

We think about whether that road will have Construction. Will I take highways? Or will they take the back roads? I think about the travel time. How long would it take me?

And then the stopping points.

The weariness I will endure. the fatigue that will set upon re When will I need sleep?

What will I need to keep me awake?

I don't know if I'm making my point here in the details. And the focus is that we have for vacations.

Where is your focus my brothers and sisters? Where is your focus? life's Journeys fighting battles physical battles spiritual battles the weariness

the fatigue

traveling those carnal roads living life

how we're going to deal with these situations in life.

What do we do to get ahead to next fall behind?

What are we doing in chasing this sin? Have We Become weak Are we worn out? Are we ready to rest?

The wake up call my brothers and sisters.

The spiritual time clock is ticking.

Your time will close.

Will you put the effort into your soul?

the signs of the end of AIDS And as he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately sing tell us when will these things be? In what will be the sign of your coming in the end of age? And Jesus answered them.

See that no one leads you astray.

For many will come in my name saying I am the Christ.

And they will lead many astray. And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars see that you are not alarmed. For this must take place.

But the end is not yet.

For nation will rise against nation and Kingdom against Kingdom and there will be famines and there will be earthquakes in various places all of these are but the beginning of the birth of pains.

Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death. And you will be hated by All Nations for my namesake.

And then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another and many false prophets will arise and Lead many astray and because lawlessness will increase the love of many will grow cold.

But the one who endures to the end will be safe. And this Gospel of the Kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to All Nations.

And then the end will come.

bear witness of these things to the end of time
