by Jesus Christ that they didn't have to do anything, but just stand there and just Life in y'all know that faith without works.
is there and that Jesus said in the last time there was a big Force who would come and tell you and feel your head with things that were not the truth.
but in the last times
we have to understand that really when we talked about the last time we've got really talkin about the last time can I can I can I teach a little bit? All right. All right. See the last time comes in between the time that Jesus came to the Earth and he was a little bitty baby and in-between time is the last time the next time is when Jesus comes back so really the last time is in this in time. The last time is in the meantime and can I ask you on today? I might have asked this before but forgive me if I asked you this before how you living on today. How you living in these? Last time as you know, we are caught up with these are going around us and we don't often think about how precious times are. We think about the days that we think some think about the month. So we think about the years but here's the thing about the last housing. In fact his to think about the times that we live is not the days. It's not the second. It's not the hours is not the must you know, what it is. You know, what's so important about the last time it's the moment. It's the moments when you remember how you got here this the moment when you look out over your family and say for the grace of God go I asked the moment when you have gone to the doctor said that this was might have been your last time but you beat cancer. This might have been your back but your family stays together. This might have been your last. But you be the this might have been your last time College you out and this might have been your last time. There was a moment.
when you the store that is not about the last time it's not about waiting for the last time it's about living in the moment. It's about being present in there. Now it's about redirecting your life and understanding that if you don't follow Jesus that you lost all sense of your moral compass. You've lost integrity and Sophie says this is something. Worth Fighting For he said we got the contend for the faith. He said because we've come a mighty long way. They sometimes we forget what I-Pass was like we forget what God has done for us. But only half remember how the Lord brought you out of your own personal Wilderness and he did in the way and he did it and it was right on time where it was just at the right moment. Have you ever had that moment that you can't forget and it propels you for the rest of your life as a matter of fact, when you come to the last time, you know, what you need to do. When you come to the last time you need to remember that moment when you knew that you can make it not just to the last time but you can make it. So your turtle rescue that you can make it to your Eternal home that you knew beyond the shadow of a doubt that God had you that he had two in the pot.
of his hands if somebody said that even better says we do not remember the days but we remember the moment remember the moment when your child was born remember the moment when you graduated from school. Remember the moment when you got your diploma remember the moment when you got married? Remember the moment when you got divorce. And you remember you thought it was the last days? You thought that God has shut the door, but sometimes in the last days when we believe and we think it's a essays. It's really in the meantime. It's really in between time because it's not over. I said to go over. And got another dope. He says in the meantime as brother. Joshua said all he serve the Lord all the days of my life. He said I'm not going to take any time off even though it's my last time he was going home to see God as he still didn't take any time off when we come to the last time. We have to look back on the moment and realize how good God was
fuel cells remember
He says remember. where the lord gave you Remember when the Lord redeemed you? Remember when you couldn't even pay your own Fair? Let me just pause here for a moment anybody ever go to the train and not have the train fare. Anybody call a cab and didn't have enough money to get to your destination.
Anybody ever call the place that you will smoke go to and they wouldn't really expecting you.
I may be the only one in here. Y'all laughing at me, but we all have been there. but we Remember When In those moments when you come to those last time when you come to those difficult times pastor Joe you have to remember those moments when God got you over God got you through God and break even though your friends left you.
As a matter of fact, I have a quote from Henry Ford. He says when everything seems to be going against you remember that the airplane takes off. Against the Wind not with it. Let me say that again because y'all are thinking of Henry Ford II thinking about cars and everything else, but guess what God can pull wisdom at the anybody for any situation Henry Ford says when everything seems to be going against you. Remember that the airplane takes off Against the Wind and not with it and basically what he saying is you are going to have some position you going to have some strong winds in your life because think about it when you are in think about it a plane airplane and it goes It goes into the wind and it's flowing against that opposing Force but as the airplane goes into the wind it begins to lift up. Okay somebody to get that. Say that three things can happen when you can when the airplane goes in and when you go against the opposition when you run into false teacher when you run into for trying to divide you first of all when you are going into that wind and going into the air going into the opposition you can drift off. You can drift off course, you cannot attain the desired height and you can find yourself drifting, you know, you find yourself drifting when you find yourself moving away from the church, you find yourself drifting when you find yourself moving away from your values your fave. You find yourself drifting when you began to absent yourself from those who love you find yourself drifting when you began to doubt yourself and doubt what God has put in you and that what God has poured into you you can begin to drip. That's the first thing that you can do, but here's the second thing that can happen. You can be sifted the wind could come and they can still move out the way they can boost Breeze out the way and you remember when Peter Proclaim to Jesus. He said all these Knuckleheads they may leave you but I'll never leave you or he said you you may be going to Calvary and I don't quite understand what you're going through, but I'll never leave you because I love you. And I don't care what the rest of them doing. Jesus says the devil wants to sift you. And when we think about being sifted we think about that as a bad thing when we look at it in the context of this particular verse but it can be a good thing because see if Peter has some pride that has some are against Peter needs to know that he needed Jesus to fight the devil. He needs to know that he needs the holy spirit that he by himself was not enough. He needs some things just like the week is Turin from the chaff. He needs to have some things deceptive so that he can serve Jesus Christ in the way. He needed to be But not only that not only that he you drift you can drift you can be sifted. But here's the final thing you can be lifted.
You know when you think that you're in for a crash landing? When you facing opposition, you never flown in the play. I know I talked to somebody up in here because I know I I have to go to sleep over or do something before I go on a used to be able to ride to playing all the time, but I can't do it anymore because I'm a little fearful about falling down by always praying always say God. I pray not only for myself. I pray that I can buy on the plane and I pray at liftoff. I will pray when we in there. I pray just before I time it just when it's time to the park and then I start praying and I pray all the time to lift off and you know, what usually happens in that lift off you go into that win you going to that opposition those people who said that you would never be about nothing those people who said that you don't want them out to anything those people who said that you never pain the goal the Dream that you have when you find yourself facing opposition when you find yourself facing strong are and if you go ahead on if you face that stronger that's bigger. That's more money than a mustard seed. If you have that kind of face you going to that wind and guess what when you Turn a twin that you taste like you your wingspread. You know, what God will do if you stay steady and you believe him that he can do anything that he could do the apostle that he is going to be flying with you that he is your co-pilot till just Lift You Higher heel lift. You higher gear Lift You Higher you got to remember? You got to remember. The opposition doesn't have anything on.
If you got God to lift you up you got to go ahead on in. to that are so we know it's about the moments. We know it's about how we go into these last times. But sometimes we get out of the time can I say that we in the last we get out of time? And we get all this a belated. Let me let me see if I can put some contacts around that.
You know, I like the same. And I like to dance as a matter of fact, if the camera was looking over to the side that would have seen me doing my old dance back in the old days. They admit I was you know, so you can't you know, but sometimes when you do your dance, I don't know about you. I think I'm always on step. You know, I think I can step. I think I can sing on timing and clap on time. But you know, sometimes you know when you are around some people you never gone to a party okay if I'm going to a party.
Call Judy sister sister Tina you let me hear in church. Alright, okay. Amen. Amen. Amen.
But but when you hear the music when you're playing an instrument when you're in the car, so damn when you're in that marching band when you own that actually when you are in the choir everybody supposed to be on time Cuz if we not on time. We won't get to the last together at least that's the idea. I don't know if you ever have been around someone when they was not only holler Tunes. Not only out of the self.
Not only out of pissed but they were out of time. You saying on the downbeat? They singing on upbeat on the downbeat and everybody else pop on the up then they think together we trying to make it to the last. But can I help somebody? It does not matter. We want to get to the last time to get we want to make it and we begin timing and soon and we going to be in step with one another so I guess it don't really matter that much as long as you are praising Jesus as long as you are praising God as long as you are giving him everything. I might clapping you may be wrong but As Long As I Got King Jesus as long as you clap with me will make it to the promised land together. We'll make it to the place together. Don't you ever look at Stanford somebody just because this text says you going to have some folks who Ayala tools at the house that I doubt. It's that they not on the same page with you, but you need to get the clap together. You need to you need to keep on playing in tune with you and you can make Get to the last time together don't you look askance at your brother because they don't have what you have because they not sitting in the truck because they don't have that Sunday suit on l o s. I love the Lord as long as they are walking and face the name of Jesus as long as they are praying as long as they don't have to read the whole Bible. They don't have to know him and say Jesus will take me to rest of the way you better wait for it so that you can miss one time at one time. They love the Lord with all they have but like they got a lot of time they got down there forgot where they were they couldn't see the finished. They couldn't see the last time, they couldn't see Jesus. They didn't believe it anymore. What because God has got God allowed to be said you have been empowered. You have been blessed to be a blessing. You need to take somebody if I can come. He said if I can come. and save you even when you going to have the bus fare. Even when you can have the train fare on time. You didn't make it on time. And you thought you were you thought you could lose your job. You thought you was going to lose.
But God is always on time even when you get.
the last time see you in the last times. In the meantime in between time, that's what we do. I live living in the last time in the meantime in the between time. That's what we need to focus on the here now and still be Queen We need to stop focusing on what's going to happen in front of us and live right now. I remember I remember I read the Bible the Bible said that the People Israel they have been taken over. There was some Folsom remnants that were left in Israel, but some of them have been taken away the Babylon and other places and Prophet Jeremiah said what I'm here with you and his What God Says wherever you are. What you doing right now, you need to plant some flowers right now. You need to marry and you need to raise your children and you need to live in the meantime because in the meantime, I'm going to throw you in the meantime. Are you going to get the strength of cursive v s days in this is how you going to make it? I didn't say I was going to leave you I just said I need to adjust you. As a matter of fact. I was sick cuz I got the stuff y'all on today. Somebody might say that we being sifted even now in these last time this not the last days. It's the day of the Lord of the Dance of the Lord you are not be looking ahead because God has given you a blessing. God has given you favor and put some power in you and the Holy Spirit is working in you he told Peter he told the apostles. He told the disciples. He said the Holy Spirit shoe that I was here that you can guess. What will the Holy Spirit?
But you remember what you need to say, you'll remember what you need to do. And guess what you'll have some power from on high and you got to remember that until I come back till the laptop until actually until the next time you got the live in the between time. In the meantime. Don't be mean somebody's just because it's need to be in the right frame of mind to know that God can use you. hahaha
Who wasn't sitting in the same room with you? When was the last time I care of the now here and now you need to pray for one another you need to lift each other up. You need to one another piece today. We got to live because it can be. Don't don't consider that somebody's going to be here with you tomorrow. Don't consider that going to be next week. Don't consider that you got enough time. This novel is the right time because it is the meantime we get ready for the last days and if you want somebody to come with you, you need to find somebody in the meantime and fat as a matter of fact in the sanctuary. Tell somebody I need you now in the meantime, I need you now in between time. See if I knew that this would be the last time you pass through this door. I embrace you I would kiss you and I call you back to give you an even bigger. If I knew that this would be the last time I will hear your voice. I will take hold of each word to be able to hear it over and over again talking to somebody on today who has forgotten would have meant is the say something encouraging at the receives something encouraging to the next moment. What we needed that moment when we needed something that was going to sustain us. We need something to remember we need the love that God has poured out in a he said last time that's what's going to keep us together and not divide us. Lovepop when we remember what God did when he sent his only son.
And then in that fateful day. He was taken away and we thought that that was it. and I
Weaver at the mantle of disciples and I'll throw the Cycles in those with faith far was the last time.
Realize how they have fill the Lord.
Are the tail somebody on today that even win? the last times come and we take him and we don't take that time to go to Calvary with him and we don't take that time to tell him not only that. We love one. Another that we would go to the death of one. Another that even though in the meantime, we're not there. God still and God will still come back for us. God still has a place for us. God gives us another chance in the last Heist. It's not the last time as long as he is sitting on the phone as long as he is sitting as long as he is naked in the session till he comes back again. You better learn how to love until she comes back again. In the meantime. You better embrace your face until he comes please everybody to remember when in the last
in the last past because it may be the last time We prayed. baby the last time we meet together. Be the last time I see my mother.
This may be the last time.
