1
00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:05,400
This might shock you but you 
will one day die and the soul of

2
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:07,900
a man. 
The soul of a woman goes on and 

3
00:00:07,900 --> 00:00:11,600
on and on, for all of eternity 
in either heaven or hell. 

4
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:15,600
So I'm going to give you today, 
three, sure, signs that you can 

5
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,600
know a hundred percent, you're 
going to heaven, but before I 

6
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,000
give you the first sign, you 
need to know this. 

7
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,600
One of these signs is more vital
than all of them put together, 

8
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,600
and if you have this sign in 
your life, you can be sure that 

9
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:29,900
you are a citizen of Heaven 
number. 

10
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,900
One, you have Growing Pains. 
The Bible says, for the desires 

11
00:00:33,900 --> 00:00:37,200
of the flesh, are against the 
spirit and the desires of the 

12
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,500
spirits are against the flesh 
for these are opposed to each 

13
00:00:40,500 --> 00:00:43,600
other to keep you from doing the
things you want to do. 

14
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:45,700
Hey, now you want to know if 
you're going to heaven? 

15
00:00:45,700 --> 00:00:48,400
Will you need God's stamp of 
approval? 

16
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,700
What's God's stamp of approval 
is the Holy Spirit? 

17
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:55,300
The Bible says, we are sealed 
with the Holy Spirit until the 

18
00:00:55,300 --> 00:00:57,900
day of redemption. 
Just like a king would seal a 

19
00:00:57,900 --> 00:00:59,700
letter with his Signet ring to 
say. 

20
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,000
Still sealed your stamped you're
under my rule. 

21
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,000
So when a man or woman puts 
their faith in Jesus Christ, 

22
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,700
they get this wonderful deposit 
of the holy spirit that lives 

23
00:01:09,700 --> 00:01:11,100
within them. 
So how do you know, if you've 

24
00:01:11,100 --> 00:01:13,700
got the Holy Spirit living 
inside of you, I'll tell you 

25
00:01:13,700 --> 00:01:16,500
how, you know, you'll know 
because there will be a battle 

26
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,900
that is going on. 
You see the Holy Spirit hate 

27
00:01:19,900 --> 00:01:23,500
sin, he is pure. 
He is Holy, he is lovely. 

28
00:01:23,500 --> 00:01:26,700
But you and I also have a flesh 
that loves sin. 

29
00:01:26,700 --> 00:01:29,500
And so every single day, the 
holy spirit is trying to make 

30
00:01:29,500 --> 00:01:31,900
you grow. 
Grow more like Jesus Christ, but

31
00:01:31,900 --> 00:01:35,300
the flesh is trying to drag you 
down into the ways of sin into 

32
00:01:35,300 --> 00:01:38,600
the ways of the devil and every 
single day, the Flesh and the 

33
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,100
spirit will lock. 
Antlers, they'll be at 

34
00:01:41,100 --> 00:01:44,000
loggerheads with one another 
fighting against one another. 

35
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,200
Just like, when an athlete or a 
bodybuilder wants to build some 

36
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,600
muscle, they have to tear their 
muscles as a pain. 

37
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,200
There's a growing pain. 
So when a man or woman is saved,

38
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:57,000
they will feel the growing pains
as they grow more like their 

39
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,800
savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, 
they will feel this pain. 

40
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,600
As the flesh fights back, you 
see the unbeliever doesn't care 

41
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,600
when they sin, they don't feel 
defiled. 

42
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,500
When they see something unclean 
Before Their Eyes, they don't 

43
00:02:08,500 --> 00:02:11,300
feel grieved. 
When they hear someone say OMG, 

44
00:02:11,300 --> 00:02:14,400
the unbeliever doesn't care when
someone gossips, they don't feel

45
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,300
guilty about Al. 
I know they love it because they

46
00:02:17,300 --> 00:02:20,700
are a slave to sin, but the 
believer is under new marching 

47
00:02:20,700 --> 00:02:24,400
orders and they have a new 
master and they want to obey him

48
00:02:24,500 --> 00:02:27,200
the King of Kings and the Lord 
of lords. 

49
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,500
So, over to you, do you think 
number one, It is the most 

50
00:02:30,500 --> 00:02:33,200
crucial sign that a person is 
going to heaven. 

51
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,300
We're going to find out a little
bit later on. 

52
00:02:35,300 --> 00:02:38,300
Number two, you are growing in 
Grace. 

53
00:02:38,300 --> 00:02:42,500
Psalm 84 verse 7 says, this, 
they go from strength to 

54
00:02:42,500 --> 00:02:46,100
strength till each appears 
before God in Zion. 

55
00:02:46,100 --> 00:02:49,200
Now, maybe you'll disagree with 
me on this, but I think a motto 

56
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,800
for us as Christian should go 
something like this. 

57
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,000
I'm not what I should be. 
But praise God, I'm not what I 

58
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,000
once was and the problem with 
you and I is we can be so 

59
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,500
impatient with our own sanctity.
Location. 

60
00:03:00,500 --> 00:03:04,000
Don't expect a perfect, kind of 
repentance instantly. 

61
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,300
You know what, we first become 
Christians were not like those 

62
00:03:06,300 --> 00:03:08,800
sorts of instant lattes, where 
you put a bit of powder in a 

63
00:03:08,808 --> 00:03:11,400
cup, you pour boiling water in 
and there you are, you have a 

64
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,900
latte in front of, you know, 
it's a long process where we 

65
00:03:14,900 --> 00:03:18,600
become more like, Jesus Christ. 
But the main thing is, this are 

66
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:22,900
we growing when I was at school,
I had one pretty big goal in 

67
00:03:22,900 --> 00:03:26,200
life and it was this. 
I wanted to be able to dunk a 

68
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,100
basketball in the who, but I had
a big problem. 

69
00:03:29,100 --> 00:03:31,400
I was one of the shortest. 
Shortest Boys in my class. 

70
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,500
So, what did I decide to do? 
Well, I got a pencil and one day

71
00:03:34,500 --> 00:03:38,800
I stood against the wall inside 
my bedroom, and I marked a line 

72
00:03:38,900 --> 00:03:41,800
and put the date next to it. 
And then every day I would 

73
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,800
measure myself against this line
and what you think started to 

74
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:49,200
happen, eventually that line got
higher and higher and higher. 

75
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,100
But I never ever was able to 
dunk a basketball, even to this 

76
00:03:52,100 --> 00:03:54,000
date now. 
But the important thing was this

77
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,700
not that I could dump but that I
was actually growing and my dear

78
00:03:57,700 --> 00:04:00,900
friends, the important thing is 
not that you are Perfect right 

79
00:04:00,900 --> 00:04:03,500
now, but you're growing every 
single day. 

80
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,100
So, be encouraged. 
If you can look back and see, 

81
00:04:06,100 --> 00:04:09,200
this is what I was like before. 
I knew Jesus Christ and this is 

82
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,800
what I'm like. 
Now you should Rejoice that God 

83
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,100
is doing a work of 
sanctification in you and that 

84
00:04:15,100 --> 00:04:16,899
is a sign that you're going to 
heaven. 

85
00:04:16,899 --> 00:04:20,399
So hey, now, do you think number
two is the most important sign 

86
00:04:20,399 --> 00:04:23,300
that a person can be sure 
they're going to heaven. 

87
00:04:23,300 --> 00:04:25,800
We're going to find out in just 
a moment's time. 

88
00:04:25,900 --> 00:04:30,500
Number 3, you are grounded in 
Christ, but God So loved the 

89
00:04:30,500 --> 00:04:34,700
world that he gave his only 
begotten, son, that whosoever 

90
00:04:34,700 --> 00:04:38,100
believes in Him. 
Should not perish but have 

91
00:04:38,300 --> 00:04:40,700
everlasting life. 
You know, I was thinking the 

92
00:04:40,700 --> 00:04:43,800
other day, is there anyone in 
world history, who I could 

93
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,100
really build my life upon so I 
thought. 

94
00:04:46,100 --> 00:04:49,400
Okay, Michael Jackson literally 
hundreds of thousands, maybe 

95
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,700
even millions of people worship,
Michael Jackson, when you hear 

96
00:04:52,700 --> 00:04:55,600
the stories that have happened 
behind the scenes in Michael 

97
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,200
Jackson's life. 
And you have to ask the 

98
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,800
question, is he someone I could 
follow Christianity? 

99
00:04:59,900 --> 00:05:02,700
Ronaldo today. 
Millions of young man. 

100
00:05:02,900 --> 00:05:05,500
Absolutely adore Cristiano 
Ronaldo. 

101
00:05:05,500 --> 00:05:08,900
They look up to him and then 
again, you hear the stories, the

102
00:05:08,900 --> 00:05:12,500
scandals, the things Cristiano 
Ronaldo has done in his past and

103
00:05:12,500 --> 00:05:14,700
you think, is he a man were 
following? 

104
00:05:14,700 --> 00:05:18,500
And then we look at Oprah 
Winfrey, a woman who many love 

105
00:05:18,500 --> 00:05:21,500
to listen to, who would see her 
as a woman who has many wise 

106
00:05:21,500 --> 00:05:23,600
things to say. 
But when I listen to Oprah 

107
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,300
Winfrey, I hear a say things 
that would give me the 

108
00:05:26,300 --> 00:05:29,700
impression that she is just as 
clueless as the rest of us. 

109
00:05:29,900 --> 00:05:32,700
No, my dear friends. 
When I look around at the 

110
00:05:32,700 --> 00:05:35,600
millions and billions of people 
who've walked on this Earth, 

111
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,500
there is not one man, not one 
woman who I could build my life 

112
00:05:39,500 --> 00:05:42,500
upon except for the God, man, 
Jesus Christ. 

113
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,100
Look, here's how it works. 
In the Old Testament. 

114
00:05:45,100 --> 00:05:48,800
We read about the old Covenant, 
the old ways we're in the 

115
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,900
temple, there was this great big
Veil, which behind the veil was 

116
00:05:52,900 --> 00:05:57,000
the holy of holies, where the 
very presence of God was, and 

117
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,500
there was only one person who 
was allowed to go, At Vail. 

118
00:06:00,500 --> 00:06:03,400
And that was the high priest and
he couldn't just go in every day

119
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,900
know, there was only one day a 
year, he could go behind the 

120
00:06:05,900 --> 00:06:09,000
veil and that was on the day of 
atonement and he couldn't just 

121
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:10,100
enter as he was. 
No. 

122
00:06:10,300 --> 00:06:14,400
He had to take a sacrifice of 
blood, he had to take a blood 

123
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,900
offering for the atonement of 
the sins of the people and only,

124
00:06:17,900 --> 00:06:21,000
then only, then once he had the 
blood could, he then enter into 

125
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,500
the presence of God. 
And let's just stop there for 

126
00:06:23,500 --> 00:06:26,600
one minute, because I need to 
tell you something, you don't 

127
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,700
realize, and I don't realize 
just how ugly. 

128
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,000
We are sins really are before 
the sight of God. 

129
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:37,400
They are repulsive before him. 
The Bible says that, no unclean 

130
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,300
thing. 
Can enter into the presence of 

131
00:06:39,300 --> 00:06:41,800
God. 
And we are so dirty. 

132
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,800
We are so sinful. 
And when God looks at us, he 

133
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:48,700
sees all of this horrid Horrid 
on righteousness, and to be 

134
00:06:48,700 --> 00:06:50,900
honest with you, it disgusts 
him. 

135
00:06:50,900 --> 00:06:54,700
He loves The Sinner, but he 
hates the sin and our sin have 

136
00:06:54,700 --> 00:06:57,400
separated us from God. 
That's what the veil was all 

137
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:58,900
about it. 
Separated us. 

138
00:06:58,900 --> 00:07:01,100
It's separated And God from one 
another. 

139
00:07:01,100 --> 00:07:04,500
If you and I entered behind the 
veil as we are, we would be 

140
00:07:04,500 --> 00:07:08,400
totally consumed because our sin
is So Unworthy, before the 

141
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:12,300
Holiness of this holy holy 
guard, would you wanna hear 

142
00:07:12,300 --> 00:07:15,700
something beautiful? 
We also have a high priest and 

143
00:07:15,700 --> 00:07:18,500
that high priest in enter into 
the holy of holies with an 

144
00:07:18,500 --> 00:07:22,500
animal sacrifice of blood, he 
came before God with his own 

145
00:07:22,500 --> 00:07:27,800
blood Houma, talking about Jesus
the Lamb of God who takes away 

146
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,100
the sins of the world. 
When This Christ was nailed to 

147
00:07:31,108 --> 00:07:34,900
that cross when he shed his 
blood, he came before the 

148
00:07:34,900 --> 00:07:39,600
presence of God, as a sacrifice 
for our sins, and God on the 

149
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,700
cross poured out, all of his 
wrath. 

150
00:07:41,700 --> 00:07:45,600
He tormented Jesus Christ. 
Not because Christ had done 

151
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:49,300
anything wrong, because, as I 
said, earlier, our sins are so 

152
00:07:49,300 --> 00:07:51,300
ugly. 
And here's the wonderful news 

153
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,800
when Jesus Christ, breathed, his
last breath to know what 

154
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,400
happened in the temple of 
Jerusalem. 

155
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,800
The veil at the top of the 
temple was torn. 

156
00:07:59,900 --> 00:08:02,600
Porn into. 
What was that statement of the 

157
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,400
way, is open this great high 
priest. 

158
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,100
The Lord. 
Jesus Christ has been the 

159
00:08:07,100 --> 00:08:11,200
mediator between God and man, 
this big separating gap between 

160
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,000
us and God, which is our sin has
been removed. 

161
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,900
The price has been paid, it's 
been punished, it's been taken 

162
00:08:16,900 --> 00:08:20,200
away, it's been dealt with and 
now we can enter into the 

163
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,900
presence of God because we have 
the blood of Jesus Christ 

164
00:08:23,900 --> 00:08:27,200
washing away our sins. 
And my question to you is this 

165
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,600
have you been washed in the 
blood of the Lamb? 

166
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:34,100
Has Jesus Christ. 
Paid for your sins and are you 

167
00:08:34,100 --> 00:08:37,400
now able to enter into the 
presence of God if the answer's 

168
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:41,700
no and you haven't yet trusted 
in Jesus Christ as your lord and

169
00:08:41,700 --> 00:08:44,600
savior. 
I urge you today don't put it 

170
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,400
off and come to him today. 
Find forgiveness of sins, and 

171
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,700
eternal life. 
So I haven't yet told you which 

172
00:08:51,700 --> 00:08:54,500
of these three signs is the most
important? 

173
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,700
Well, of course, it's number 
three. 

174
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:00,500
Jesus Christ is the bridge 
between man and It's between 

175
00:09:00,500 --> 00:09:03,300
Earth and Heaven, just like 
Jacob's Ladder how he had that 

176
00:09:03,300 --> 00:09:05,800
dream, and he could see this 
great big ladder and it was 

177
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,800
leading up to heaven. 
Well, that's Christ Jesus, and 

178
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,600
once you're on that ladder, you 
are going to heaven. 

179
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,600
Once you have put your faith in 
the Lord, Jesus Christ, he will 

180
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,800
ensure that you get to the 
shores of Heaven safely. 

181
00:09:17,900 --> 00:09:20,800
But I do Wonder now if anyone's 
thinking, well, why would I want

182
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,300
to go to heaven? 
What is heaven? 

183
00:09:22,300 --> 00:09:24,900
