The Lord spoke through the prophet Ezekiel.
The I rowers had brought thee integrate Waters.
In other words, you're swimming outside of your depth and some
of you you simply will not like this message.
In fact, some of you will hate this message, but I can't stay
silent any longer. Some of you are in deep deep
water, and I'm not going to stand here and watch you drown.
The Bible says, the way of The Sinner is hard.
And and right now, today you might be on smooth calm water.
So you might be sailing that boat to success, but I want to
tell you something, mark my words, there's a storm and it's
coming and it might just be coming for you.
You do realize that sin will never pay.
You a fair wage. Sin is like an old Chestnut.
You plant it in the ground, and you forget, it's there years and
years go by until one day, right?
In your face. Is this huge chestnut tree and
it Far too big for you to cut it down.
Many a man in his youth, indulge this flash with sin.
He thought it was harmless. He thought it was fine.
It was good. It was proper at the time and
then he forgot about those sins. He tracked, those sins like dead
man, out of sight, out of mind, but those dead men have risen
again and they've come back to haunt him with the sins of the
past. Someone very close to me has a
disability and if this person wants to go to the local
supermarket, For Market to the local grocery store, and they
want to park in the disabled marked Bays, which are closer to
the store. They have a blue badge, and they
put it on the dashboard of their window.
Now, you know, was very frustrating, very often people
who don't have a disability will steal the car parking space.
And this person who I love very much, has to get their
wheelchair, asked to clamber out of the car and struggled to get
to the shop and park a lot further away.
Because I want to stolen their space.
Now what the disabled Community is done about this is they have
written a sort of motto, a sort of placard, and sometimes they
stick it above the disabled marked bays and it goes like
this. You can take my car park in
space but take my disability with it.
And my dear friends. I think that's how many our
Christian lives their lives. They want the instant
gratification of sin. They want all of the pleasures
of this world. But they're not prepared to
walk. The Hardline that the sinner
will walk. They're not prepared to share in
the suffering that the unbeliever walk when they rebel
against God's, they want the pleasures of heaven, but they
also want the pleasures of this world.
Why do I speak so harsh to you today?
I do it because I love you. Listen to me some of you right
now. Listening to this video are 18,
19, 20 years old, when I was your age.
I rebelled against God. Greatly and to this day years
and years on, I still carry the scars of that sin.
The scars still remain your life, is an investment and how
you invest it in your youth. You will reap the Harvest of
what you have. Sown young man, young woman who
ever, you are listening right now, if you have not yet
experienced, the repercussions of sin.
Do not Test the Lord. Thy, God, do not hang around to
see if the word of God be true. True because I can promise you
one thing, it is true. And if right now you have the
strength to swim away from those deep Waters, if you have
strength to swim back to the shore, I plead with you, do it
right now and repent today, but now let me speak to the man or
woman who has already lived their life.
Some of you have seen sin rear its ugly head.
Some of you have seen how much it ruins and damages lies.
Were you also have a duty of care?
Warren the young. Pray for your children, pray for
your grandchildren. There is a message that the
world does not want to hear. There's a message that he'll the
demons, and the devil want to keep us silent as possible.
But you have that message. You have a, hope you have a
remedy and it's your duty of care to get that remedy out.
Whats? The remedy is the Lord Jesus
Christ. He alone can save Sinners.
You might be sitting there right now.
You might be thinking Joe. This message is just for me.
I rode myself out into deep Waters and I don't know what to
do. Well, I want to tell you
something. There is only one who can roll
you out. You might be sitting there.
And you might be saying, Joe I'm drowning in the Deep Waters.
I can't swim. How do I escape?
Well, don't panic because my lifeguard can walk on water.
Whoever you are wherever you're from get into Jesus Christ
Lifeboat today. Day because it's a big Lifeboat
and it could carry the whole world.
If only the world would be willing to climb in, the Bible
says, through the Lord's. Mercies.
We are not consumed because his compassion's fail knots.
They are new every morning. Great is your faithfulness,
Although our sin May Scare us. Although we may bear the wounds
from our Rebellion against God. Remember this every day.
Is a new page and yesterday, you might have made a terrible mess,
but know, this God's Mercy is bigger.
Oh, how Faithfully is. Oh, how great is his
faithfulness? Just look at the cross.
Look at the vast love that. God had for Sinners when Jesus
died there for you, and I, and perhaps you're listening to this
message right now and it's morning, or what do you need to
do? You need to tap into those new
Mercies? As which God has for you.
This very day. Give thanks praise the Lord.
Today that last night, your bed did not become a tomb.
Give, thanks that today. You have a fresh chance to be
renewed, a fresh chance to repent, a fresh chance to serve
the god that you love so much and be totally consecrated to
him alone. My dear friends.
We must never lose the value of one single hour.
If you want to know how precious just one hour is go and sit with
a father who Terminal cancer, and ask him how precious just
one hour is with his children today.
If you've got strength to swim away to repent, I beg you.
I plead with you, repent of your sins and get into the life raft,
which is Jesus Christ. I'm not sure if this message has
been helpful at all to you. If I'm honest.
I found it very difficult to film.
I actually left my battery all the way back in my house.
I had to walk back for that, and then came back and started to
film. And then I Realized that my
microphone was switched off, so it's been sort of rushed and
thrown together. So I do apologize for that.
If you'd like to hear a message on lukewarm Christianity that
maybe might put my points across a bit clearer.
