1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,700 This right here is my favorite drink in the whole world, is 2 00:00:03,700 --> 00:00:05,200 called a coffee. Frosty. 3 00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:08,900 Know it's ice cold. And this here is my second. 4 00:00:08,900 --> 00:00:12,900 Favorite drink is called a cafe latte, and it's RedHawks. 5 00:00:13,300 --> 00:00:16,600 Let's see what happens when I mix my two favorite drinks 6 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:24,700 together. Yeah, not gonna lie. 7 00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,600 That tastes pretty disgusting to see the lukewarm. 8 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,700 Christian is not ice. Cold is not away from God. 9 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,900 But at the same time, he's not red hot on fire for God. 10 00:00:34,100 --> 00:00:37,000 He's just lukewarm. And the Bible says, because you 11 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,100 are lukewarm. I will spew you out of my mouth, 12 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:44,800 Isaiah 29 verse 13, says this, because this people say they are 13 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:49,300 mine, they honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far 14 00:00:49,300 --> 00:00:51,000 from me. So, what you're about to watch 15 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:52,900 now. Going to be the most 16 00:00:52,900 --> 00:00:56,300 controversial video I've ever made on this channel. 17 00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:00,500 Because today, I am making this video for one type of believer. 18 00:01:00,700 --> 00:01:02,600 And that's the lukewarm Christian. 19 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:04,800 That's the man. That's the woman who when they 20 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,000 go to church, they say the right things, they act the right way, 21 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,100 but when they're with their non-Christian friends when 22 00:01:10,100 --> 00:01:13,400 they're alone, there are completely different person. 23 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,400 Now, before we go any further, I want to make something 24 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:20,100 abundantly, clear, you see, Christianity is different to 25 00:01:20,100 --> 00:01:23,300 every other religion. All the other religions say do 26 00:01:23,300 --> 00:01:28,100 this, do that do this. But Jesus says no it's done on 27 00:01:28,100 --> 00:01:29,600 the cross. I cried out. 28 00:01:29,700 --> 00:01:32,600 It is finished. Romans 5 verse 1. 29 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,600 Says those who put their trust in the Lord Jesus Christ. 30 00:01:35,700 --> 00:01:39,900 They are declared righteous. So in other words, you and I 31 00:01:39,900 --> 00:01:42,000 we've got this massive debt to pay. 32 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,300 Am I the only one who's a rotten sinner? 33 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:45,600 Is there anyone else watching this? 34 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,800 Who's a filthy rotten sinner like me. 35 00:01:47,900 --> 00:01:51,300 We've got this huge debt to pay but the second, you put your 36 00:01:51,300 --> 00:01:54,600 trust in. Lord Jesus Christ, he deposits 37 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,600 all of his spiritual riches into your bank account. 38 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,700 So you become a spiritual millionaire like that or because 39 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:05,700 of the Lord Jesus Christ. So at no point in this video, am 40 00:02:05,700 --> 00:02:08,199 I saying? We need to to earn our way to 41 00:02:08,199 --> 00:02:10,800 heaven. We need to put off the Flesh in 42 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,600 some way that we can achieve our Salvation because it's already 43 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:19,200 been achieved in Christ. But here's the real reality, the 44 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,300 raw truth. Is this your say, Sin has 45 00:02:22,300 --> 00:02:25,600 consequences. You can choose the sin, but you 46 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,700 can't choose the consequence. And today. 47 00:02:27,700 --> 00:02:31,500 I want to give you five consequences to your Rebellion 48 00:02:31,500 --> 00:02:33,600 against the holy God. Number one. 49 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:39,400 God will discipline you. Hebrews 12 verse 6 says this for 50 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:44,200 the Lord, disciplines the one. He loves and chastises every son 51 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,300 whom he receives need to know. One thing about me. 52 00:02:47,700 --> 00:02:51,500 I went through a really painful experience. 53 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,300 And I remember in the darkest hour. 54 00:02:54,300 --> 00:02:56,500 I screamed out to God in my heart. 55 00:02:56,500 --> 00:03:00,000 I was crying out. Why God, why have you allowed 56 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,400 this to happen to me? And God replied with just three 57 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,500 words. It wasn't Audible for these 58 00:03:05,500 --> 00:03:08,100 three words were so solid in my spirit. 59 00:03:08,100 --> 00:03:09,900 I cannot deny. It was not the voice of the 60 00:03:09,900 --> 00:03:13,200 Lord. He said these three words, you 61 00:03:13,500 --> 00:03:16,500 know why? You know why this has happened 62 00:03:16,500 --> 00:03:19,000 Joe. And I knew within an instance 63 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,500 that if God was chastising me for an ongoing. 64 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,800 Going sin that I've been committing for years and years. 65 00:03:24,900 --> 00:03:29,800 My dear brother. My dear sister God is dangerous. 66 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,400 And if you are a child of God, he will discipline you. 67 00:03:33,500 --> 00:03:36,200 He will chastise you. He will humble you, if you're 68 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,800 wandering from the fold, if you are wondering from The Nest, God 69 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,800 will cut you down and sometimes he'll hurt you badly to bring 70 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,000 you back to that place of Holiness to bring you back to 71 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,300 that place where you are close to his son because you matter so 72 00:03:50,300 --> 00:03:51,500 much to him. I'll never forget. 73 00:03:51,700 --> 00:03:54,300 What my granddad wants said to me as a teenager. 74 00:03:54,500 --> 00:03:58,300 He said Joe we forgotten the solemnity of God. 75 00:03:58,500 --> 00:04:01,900 What does that mean? It means we forgotten that God 76 00:04:01,900 --> 00:04:05,900 is a holy reverent God. We call him the old matey. 77 00:04:05,900 --> 00:04:09,200 Not the almighty. God is love but just like a good 78 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,600 father will discipline his children when they wander when 79 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,700 they do wrong. So this almighty God will 80 00:04:15,700 --> 00:04:19,500 discipline us if we run from him, if we disobey him, if we 81 00:04:19,500 --> 00:04:22,700 act like a child of the world like a A child of the devil. 82 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,900 God will cut us down sometimes, and it will hurt. 83 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,800 Now. Please don't misunderstand me 84 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,000 every time. Something bad happens to you in 85 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,800 your life. Don't think this is a punishment 86 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,800 from God, don't always think this is God. 87 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,600 Disciplining me for a sin to remember job righteous job. 88 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,800 He was one of the most righteous men on Earth. 89 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,800 He loved God, he obeyed God and yet God allowed everything to be 90 00:04:43,808 --> 00:04:46,700 lost in a day. Our Lord Jesus Christ. 91 00:04:46,700 --> 00:04:50,500 The most Godly, the man who had never sinned, He Walked on this 92 00:04:50,500 --> 00:04:53,300 Earth or spat on. Marked had a crown of thorns was 93 00:04:53,300 --> 00:04:56,200 scorned was laughed out. All of his friends deserted him. 94 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,700 He went through tremendous pain, certainly not because he done 95 00:04:58,700 --> 00:05:01,400 anything wrong. Sometimes God just allows the 96 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,300 righteous to suffer to bring glory to his name. 97 00:05:04,700 --> 00:05:09,000 Remember, once Jesus was walking with his disciples and they 98 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:13,100 noticed in front of them was a blind man begging on the street 99 00:05:13,100 --> 00:05:15,600 and the disciples asked him teacher. 100 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,100 Who sinned was it? The blind man who calls himself 101 00:05:19,100 --> 00:05:23,200 to be blind, or was it his parents who say, Sin, and Jesus 102 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,500 is response. Was so telling he said neither, 103 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,600 no, rather this man is blind. So the work of God might be 104 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,800 displayed through him. So every time something bad 105 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,400 happens to us every time we fall ill or an accident or something 106 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,700 happens, don't always jump to the conclusion. 107 00:05:39,700 --> 00:05:42,200 That God is chastising me for a sin. 108 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:46,500 So how do we know when we are being disciplined by God weld? 109 00:05:46,500 --> 00:05:50,900 Remember when Joseph was sold into slavery by his brothers and 110 00:05:50,900 --> 00:05:54,200 then years Years go by Joseph is now the president. 111 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,500 He's like the most powerful man in Egypt and his brothers 112 00:05:57,500 --> 00:06:01,600 arrived before Joseph, and they can't tell that it is their 113 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:06,000 brother that standing in front of them and Joseph deals roughly 114 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,400 with the brothers. What did the brothers say? 115 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,000 They say this? This is because we sold our 116 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,700 brother Joseph into slavery. Now, we're being punished for 117 00:06:15,700 --> 00:06:19,800 this years and years later. They knew within an instant that 118 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,500 God was dealing with them. And so I think it happens to us. 119 00:06:23,700 --> 00:06:26,200 If we are being chastised by the Lord God. 120 00:06:26,300 --> 00:06:29,200 I think we'll have a sort of certainty in our hearts knowing. 121 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,600 Yes. This is the hand of God bringing 122 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,100 me down onto my knees. Bringing me down to a place of 123 00:06:34,100 --> 00:06:37,700 prayer to Humble me so that I might be more like his son. 124 00:06:37,700 --> 00:06:40,600 The Lord Jesus Christ. The second consequence of 125 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:45,600 lukewarm Christianity is you will reap what you sow Galatians 126 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:50,200 6 verses 7 to 8. Say this do not be deceived. 127 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:54,400 God is Not mocked. For several manso's that he will 128 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:58,100 also reap the. He who sows to his flesh, shall 129 00:06:58,100 --> 00:07:02,500 of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the spirit 130 00:07:02,500 --> 00:07:06,200 will of the spirit reap eternal life. 131 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,800 When I'm about to tell you next will blow your brains out. 132 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,900 Remember Jacob in the Bible. He was smooth skinned and his 133 00:07:12,900 --> 00:07:14,900 brother. Esau was hairy. 134 00:07:14,900 --> 00:07:17,700 He was an older brother. So he would rightfully receive 135 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:19,600 the blessing from his father Isaac. 136 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:23,300 And when the day of the blessing happened, Esau was sent out into 137 00:07:23,300 --> 00:07:25,500 the field to, to go and get some food. 138 00:07:25,900 --> 00:07:29,700 But Jacob snuck in, and he puts on the garments. 139 00:07:29,700 --> 00:07:33,600 He puts on that the fur of the kid of a goat, and he said, I am 140 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,600 your son. Esau bless me. 141 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:40,700 He deceived his father Isaac with a garment and then when 142 00:07:40,700 --> 00:07:44,500 Jacob got older, he had some children of his own and one of 143 00:07:44,508 --> 00:07:49,000 his children was called Joseph who he loves so dearly and he 144 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,400 gave Joseph this beautiful garment. 145 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:55,100 This wonderful Technicolor Dreamcoat which had all these 146 00:07:55,100 --> 00:07:58,500 beautiful colors on it, but one of his brothers Judah in 147 00:07:58,500 --> 00:08:01,800 particular was very, very jealous of Joseph. 148 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:06,500 So we threw Joseph into a pit and he left him to be sold into 149 00:08:06,500 --> 00:08:09,500 slavery. And then he took the Garland's, 150 00:08:09,500 --> 00:08:12,300 he covered it in animals, blood and said your son. 151 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,200 Joseph has been killed by a wild animal. 152 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,800 Jacob. He deceived Jacob with a garment 153 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,300 and then do you remember in judah's life? 154 00:08:21,500 --> 00:08:24,300 Judah lost his wife and he was so depressed. 155 00:08:24,300 --> 00:08:28,300 He was so long that he went into the town and said that the 156 00:08:28,300 --> 00:08:32,299 Canaanite area and he looked for a prostitute and there was his 157 00:08:32,299 --> 00:08:36,299 daughter-in-law, who is also a widow who was also bereaved and 158 00:08:36,299 --> 00:08:39,400 she wanted children of her own. So she dressed up as a 159 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,000 prostitute and she slept with her. 160 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,300 Father-in-law. She deceived Judah with a 161 00:08:45,300 --> 00:08:47,600 garment. Can you see that pattern that's 162 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,200 happened. You reap. 163 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,200 What you sow and so it is in our Lives. 164 00:08:52,300 --> 00:08:56,400 If we will sew out the seeds of the flesh, often will reap a 165 00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,600 harvest of our own sin. You can't deny that. 166 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,600 The Bible is true. We're seeing a lot of scandals, 167 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:07,200 coming forth in the news, man, who years and years ago, 168 00:09:07,300 --> 00:09:11,100 committed sins dark sins in the past, and they thought they got 169 00:09:11,100 --> 00:09:13,900 away with it. But the Harvest came, they 170 00:09:13,900 --> 00:09:16,900 reaped, what they sold. They thought it was done. 171 00:09:16,900 --> 00:09:20,200 It was in the past, but God will not be mocked. 172 00:09:20,300 --> 00:09:23,900 The Bible says, Anything, which is hidden will one day be 173 00:09:23,900 --> 00:09:27,100 exposed. So I plead with you Brothers and 174 00:09:27,100 --> 00:09:30,200 Sisters in Christ. Be so, so careful. 175 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:35,300 What seeds, you plant today. Tomorrow next week in the coming 176 00:09:35,300 --> 00:09:39,000 years, because whatever seed, you plant, which are sinful one 177 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,400 day, they'll grow up, they'll spout and you'll reap a harvest 178 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:47,900 of your sin and consequence. Number three, pointless, prayer. 179 00:09:47,900 --> 00:09:51,100 What I'm about to say next is incredibly. 180 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,200 Of the show, but did you know this? 181 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,700 Sometimes prayer can be a total waste of time. 182 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:03,400 Listen to Proverbs 28 verse 9. If one turns away his ear from 183 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:07,900 hearing the law, even his prayer is an Abomination. 184 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,500 And then Psalm 66 Verse 18 says this. 185 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:16,000 If I had cherished iniquity that's in, in my heart. 186 00:10:16,500 --> 00:10:18,200 The Lord would not have listened. 187 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,400 Do you understand what those verses are saying those? 188 00:10:21,500 --> 00:10:24,700 Those verses are saying that that if we rebel against God, if 189 00:10:24,700 --> 00:10:29,300 we ignore God's commands, if we just go our own way, then God 190 00:10:29,300 --> 00:10:31,700 will say, okay. I'm not going to listen to your 191 00:10:31,700 --> 00:10:35,500 prayers for the time being until you were Bay me until you, you 192 00:10:35,500 --> 00:10:37,900 follow after me. Until you come to me with a 193 00:10:37,900 --> 00:10:41,600 contrite, heart begging and pleading, for forgiveness, it 194 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,500 until you repent. I don't want to hear what you've 195 00:10:44,500 --> 00:10:46,700 got to say. That sounds harsh. 196 00:10:46,700 --> 00:10:48,900 Doesn't it? Let me put it another way to 197 00:10:48,900 --> 00:10:50,400 you. I want you to imagine that. 198 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,700 I'm your servant. I know and you tell me Joe. 199 00:10:53,700 --> 00:10:58,000 I want you to deliver a parcel on number 23 of my streets. 200 00:10:58,300 --> 00:11:00,100 So I say, okay. Thanks for giving me that job 201 00:11:00,100 --> 00:11:00,900 at. I'll do it. 202 00:11:01,300 --> 00:11:04,500 You ring me up the next day. Joe, if you deliver the parcel 203 00:11:04,500 --> 00:11:07,200 to 23. No, I've not yet. 204 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,000 You bring me up next week. Joe if you deliver the parcel to 205 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,900 23, sorry, I haven't got round to it. 206 00:11:11,900 --> 00:11:14,500 Yeah, I'm sorry about that. You do it in a month's time. 207 00:11:14,500 --> 00:11:16,000 Joe. Have you managed to deliver 208 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,300 that? Parcel to number 23? 209 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:20,900 I'm sorry. I haven't what's going to 210 00:11:20,900 --> 00:11:23,200 happen. Even if I continually just 211 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,200 ignore what you're asking me to do. 212 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,000 We'll eventually you're going to say Joe. 213 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,800 I can't trust you anymore. I'm not going to give you any 214 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:31,500 commands. I'm not going to ask you to do 215 00:11:31,500 --> 00:11:34,200 anything anymore. And so it is with you and I as 216 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:38,200 Christians if we constantly shutout God's commands, God's 217 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,800 warnings that we hear in sermons that we hear in the word of God, 218 00:11:41,900 --> 00:11:45,500 if we completely close our ears, God's going to eventually stop 219 00:11:45,500 --> 00:11:48,800 speaking into our lives, and we're going to drift away from 220 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,500 the guard that we love, but On the flip side. 221 00:11:52,500 --> 00:11:57,500 However, remember this God blesses obedience in the Book of 222 00:11:57,500 --> 00:12:00,200 James. It says the prayer of one 223 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:05,200 righteous man, availeth much. So in other words, if you are a 224 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,900 baying, God, if you're in close fellowship with him, sometimes, 225 00:12:08,900 --> 00:12:13,900 God can do Mighty things through you, you pray a prayer and he 226 00:12:13,900 --> 00:12:16,800 answers it and you're Blown Away by wow. 227 00:12:16,900 --> 00:12:20,500 This almighty God, is hearing my prayers and it's because he's 228 00:12:20,500 --> 00:12:23,500 blessing. The Obedience of his son of his 229 00:12:23,500 --> 00:12:27,000 daughter. Number four, we ruin our witness 230 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:31,200 for the Lord Jesus Christ. If I asked you, who is your 231 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,800 favorite Bible character? In the whole of the Bible, who 232 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:38,000 would you say, you know, my favorite character is, it's 233 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:42,100 Jonah's, sea captain. Remember when Jonas he ran away 234 00:12:42,100 --> 00:12:45,100 from what the Lord had told him to do and he got on a boat to 235 00:12:45,100 --> 00:12:48,000 tarshish. And here, this big storm came 236 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,400 because he rebelled against the Lord and all the sailors are 237 00:12:51,500 --> 00:12:54,300 Think their false gods and of course, nothing had happened, 238 00:12:54,300 --> 00:12:58,500 the storm had carried on. So the sea captain went down to 239 00:12:58,500 --> 00:13:03,300 the lower deck where Jonah was fast asleep and he said arise o, 240 00:13:03,300 --> 00:13:07,000 sleeper, pray to your God. That, perhaps he might hear our 241 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,600 prayer and turn away this. This Dreadful Storm from the 242 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,900 ship. What was happening. 243 00:13:12,900 --> 00:13:16,100 There. Here was, this unbeliever here 244 00:13:16,100 --> 00:13:20,600 was this ungodly, man, and he's rebuking the man of God telling 245 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,900 him what to do. Do that's so interesting because 246 00:13:23,900 --> 00:13:26,700 that can happen to us very very often. 247 00:13:27,100 --> 00:13:31,600 Am I the only one who's laughed at a rude joke in the workplace. 248 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:35,200 Am I the only one who's who said something wrong and a 249 00:13:35,208 --> 00:13:38,300 non-believer said Joe. I thought you were meant to be a 250 00:13:38,300 --> 00:13:40,100 Christian. I thought you were meant to 251 00:13:40,100 --> 00:13:41,900 follow God. Why are you laughing at that? 252 00:13:41,900 --> 00:13:44,600 Why are you acting like that? Does that ever happen to you? 253 00:13:44,700 --> 00:13:48,500 My mother-in-law is a lovely lady, but she's not born again. 254 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,300 And not so long ago. She really did. 255 00:13:51,500 --> 00:13:54,900 Victor me. He said Joe you're so anxious 256 00:13:54,900 --> 00:13:58,600 about getting this illness about catching that but you're going 257 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,400 to heaven and according to your beliefs. 258 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:02,600 I'm not. So why is it? 259 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:06,200 I'm not worried but you are and I thought, wow. 260 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:08,200 Wow, she's got some truth. There. 261 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,600 He see what we need to. Remember is when we are living 262 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,200 our life. The whole world is watching you. 263 00:14:15,300 --> 00:14:18,700 The whole world is watching to see if this Christianity if this 264 00:14:18,700 --> 00:14:22,200 Jesus is really as precious as you say is Because you preach 265 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,900 him, you read your Bible. You say, to people come to 266 00:14:24,900 --> 00:14:25,900 Christ. You'll get piece. 267 00:14:25,900 --> 00:14:27,800 You'll get joy. You'll get a hot beyond the 268 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:29,900 grave. So do you really believe this 269 00:14:29,900 --> 00:14:33,000 message or you just go into not Practice? 270 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,900 What You Preach. So when we sin when we fret when 271 00:14:35,900 --> 00:14:39,300 we're anxious when we live in a bitch'll sin people are 272 00:14:39,300 --> 00:14:41,300 watching. They're listening and it's 273 00:14:41,300 --> 00:14:44,800 ruining the witness of our blessed Lord, the Lord Jesus 274 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:48,900 Christ and some people sadly they say I'll never become a 275 00:14:48,908 --> 00:14:51,300 Christian because there's so many hypocrites. 276 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:55,200 Christianity, and we can get angry and we can get better at 277 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,800 them for saying that. But actually I think sometimes 278 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,600 we need to look at our own Hearts because Revival only 279 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,800 starts in the church. When the Believers of God get 280 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:07,000 together and say, wow. We need to repent of sin. 281 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:10,900 We need to look at ourselves and say, God, how can you bless us 282 00:15:10,900 --> 00:15:13,300 when we're so rebellious against you? 283 00:15:13,300 --> 00:15:17,800 And the fifth consequence of lukewarm Christianity is you 284 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:22,000 could lose rewards. Listen to Matthew chapter. 25 285 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,800 verse 23. It says this his master said to 286 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:26,600 him. Well, done, good. 287 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,600 And faithful servant. You have been Faithful over a 288 00:15:29,608 --> 00:15:34,200 little, I will set you over much, enter into the joy of your 289 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:35,900 master, guys. Can I ask you? 290 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,900 Do you believe that will have jobs to do in the new creation? 291 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,800 I mean, I don't think we'll just be sort of sat on a cloud 292 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:44,100 twiddling. Our thumbs thinking. 293 00:15:44,100 --> 00:15:45,800 Yeah, this is great. We're in heaven now. 294 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:47,100 No pain. No suffering. 295 00:15:47,500 --> 00:15:50,900 I think God is going to give us jobs and work to do. 296 00:15:51,900 --> 00:15:56,000 I'm what we do in this life has Eternal consequences. 297 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,200 It matters forever. So God has given us all 298 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,200 responsibilities. Some of us have spouses. 299 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,200 Some of us have children. Some of us have jobs. 300 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,000 We've all got a gospel that we need to be obedient and share 301 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,600 with other people. And God will look all of our 302 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,800 responsibilities all of the things he's entrusted to us and 303 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:17,500 say, okay, you did this. You did this with the 70 80 304 00:16:17,500 --> 00:16:20,300 years, I give you in this life. Here's your job for all of 305 00:16:20,300 --> 00:16:22,600 eternity. That's You going to be trusted 306 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:27,100 with and that's why really does matter to be obedient. 307 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,300 That's why it matters to follow after Jesus Christ, and not 308 00:16:30,300 --> 00:16:33,400 speaking lukewarm and to have one foot in the world and one 309 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:37,000 foot in Christ's Kingdom. We need to be on fire for God 310 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,900 because then he'll give us more. Those who are trusted with 311 00:16:39,900 --> 00:16:43,500 little will be, given much more in the kingdom of God, just 312 00:16:43,500 --> 00:16:46,400 like, David was entrusted with a few little lambs. 313 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:48,900 And later. He was entrusted to be the king 314 00:16:48,900 --> 00:16:52,300 of Israel, just like Joseph was thrown into Into prison 315 00:16:52,300 --> 00:16:55,300 unjustly. And he was entrusted to, to look 316 00:16:55,300 --> 00:16:57,800 after the prisoners later. He would become the most 317 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:01,700 powerful man in Egypt. So you and I were entrusted with 318 00:17:01,700 --> 00:17:05,599 these small things that one day, we might be given greater 319 00:17:05,599 --> 00:17:08,400 greater responsibility from the Lord God. 320 00:17:08,599 --> 00:17:12,300 And that really, really excites me to hear those words. 321 00:17:12,900 --> 00:17:15,200 Well done. Good and faithful servant. 322 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:20,099 I long for that to you. There is one final thing that I 323 00:17:20,099 --> 00:17:23,200 would be very, very sad. If you walked away from this 324 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:28,800 video and didn't remember this Holiness equals happiness, the 325 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:32,300 most miserable, man, the most miserable woman on earth is the 326 00:17:32,300 --> 00:17:34,700 lukewarm Christian. Why is that? 327 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:36,800 Because they can't enjoyed their sin. 328 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,400 Because the holy spirit is convicting them that this is 329 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,600 wrong and and they're grieving the spirit of God who indwells 330 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,300 inside them. But at the same time, they can 331 00:17:45,300 --> 00:17:47,300 enjoy the Lord. Jesus Christ, because they're 332 00:17:47,300 --> 00:17:50,700 running to this sin and it's like this polluted pool with 333 00:17:50,700 --> 00:17:53,700 clean water. Water and dirty water, and it 334 00:17:53,700 --> 00:17:57,300 just makes the person so miserable and so sad. 335 00:17:57,700 --> 00:18:01,000 But the person who is on fire for God, the person who obeys 336 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,500 God, they have the joy of the Lord, read the Psalms read, the 337 00:18:04,500 --> 00:18:07,700 Proverbs that word repeats over and over again. 338 00:18:07,900 --> 00:18:10,500 Blessed, is that man who obeys the Lord blessed? 339 00:18:10,500 --> 00:18:13,100 Is that man who walks in the counsel of the Lord? 340 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,200 And that word blessed is another word to say happy. 341 00:18:16,300 --> 00:18:19,400 So if you follow the lord God, you will be happy. 342 00:18:19,700 --> 00:18:23,300 And that's the thing I asked. We single one of us to do, I 343 00:18:23,300 --> 00:18:26,100 preach this message to you, but I preach it to myself. 344 00:18:26,100 --> 00:18:27,900 Also.
