January 25, 2023 Few Saved | A Warning Message
In Noah’s day there were most likely millions on the earth and God spared only Noah and his family. The world was being warned by God through Noah's preaching while he built the ark and no one else would repent and take heed to God's warning message. Noah preached this warning message to repent for over 100 years! Unfortunately, only 8 people were saved out of the entire world when the floods burst forth from the ground and started falling from the heavens. God is doing the exact same thing today to warn the world. He is warning all who have ears to hear, through his obedient watchmen and not many want to hear with their heart. Being called to be a watchman and to warn with the words the Lord gives me is not easy because many that I know and love are offended and refuse to listen. I will share when I am told and he wants me to share with you today that God's righteous judgment is about to fall on this world. He can see the heart of those who profess his name and he knows that FEW are taking heed and listening. Very few! I know that our bridegroom's heart is broken over those who refuse to listen and take heed to repent before it's too late. Refusing to make sure your garments are clean without spot or wrinkle will cause you to be left behind when the trumpet sounds. Take heed to this warning today!
We are told the end times will be like the days of Lot. From research we now know that there were thousands and possibly hundreds of thousands of people in both Sodom and Gomorrah. Only Lot was found to be righteous out of all those people. The righteousness of Lot (his heart was focused on God and not on the world around him) allowed his wife, two daughters, and their husbands to possibly be saved from the destruction that God was about to send upon the wicked. So, because of Lot’s righteousness his whole family was covered. Even after warning his son in laws that destruction was coming he was laughed at because they did not believe him. I know exactly what this feels like as a watchman warning family and friends of the fire and destruction that God has shown me is coming and not many even are listening. As Lot, his wife, and two daughters were led out of Sodom to safety they were told not to look back. There is a reason God gives us this example as in the days of Lot and to remember Lot's wife. He wanted them to stay focused on him while they escaped before the destruction fell from heaven, and while it was coming down they were told to go up to the mountain to be safe. But Lot’s wife disobeyed God’s commandment of not looking back. We can easily see that her heart was still in love with this world so she decided in her heart to look back, and she was turned into a pillar of salt. She died with the sodomites and all the wicked just because she looked back in disobedience to God’s word. The same will happen to all who ignore the word of God, and refuse to take heed to the many warnings watchmen are sharing out of obedience to the Lord God whom they serve. The lukewarm Christians that love this world will perish with the wicked IF they continue to refuse to repent for trusting in man, and for loving this world.
So, Noah and his family obeyed God, and built the ark just as God commanded. From scripture we can assume that It took them one hundred years or more to build the ark. Lot’s family had a single day to escape, and his wife couldn’t even be obedient for that amount of time. Her heart still loved Sodom, just as the lukewarm Christians today still love this world. This is a direct warning for someone and the Lord knows exactly whose heart he will reach with these words.
God is warning as many as will listen, so that they too can be ready for the trumpet of God, which is about to sound. But as we draw closer and closer to that GREAT and TERRIBLE day of the Lord, many that profess Jesus are hardening their heart even more, and refusing to live in repentance. Many are refusing to separate themselves from this world. Many still desire this world and the pleasures it offers them. Many are refusing to separate themselves from this world. Many do not think it’s possible to live a holy life. Many can’t or won’t work out their salvation with fear and trembling before a holy and righteous God. Many do not put Jesus first every day they wake up and are blessed to be alive. Many are trusting in man to protect the from pestilence and yet they still call themselves Christian. Many do not desire to fully surrender all to Jesus, but they sing in their churches “I surrender all” as hypocrites. Many just want this world and normal life to return so they can keep on living for their selfish desires which they put before Jesus. Many lukewarm christians do not love others and instead have hatred towards their fellow brothers and sisters. God is warning us all to come to repentance on a daily basis so our heart is right with him at any moment. Our heart needs to be humble before him, seeking his face while he may still be found. Soon the voice of this watchman that God continues to use will be heard no more. Soon the voice of the bride and the bridegroom(Jesus Christ) will be heard no more.
Sudden destruction is coming upon all who refuse to be obedient to the Holy Spirit. Wake up before it’s too late! Jesus himself tells us that few will make it to heaven and even fewer will make the rapture and be part of the bride of Christ because many love this world. Jesus won’t take a bride that is looking at the pleasures this world offers them. He sees the heart of all who are his and they are focused on him and ONLY him daily. They long to be with him because he is their bridegroom whom they love. When a bride has their eyes focused on someone else like the lukewarm christians who love this world, the bridegroom will become jealous and will not marry his bride. He will instead say Depart from me for I never knew you. A bride that is flirting with satan and his distractions is not worthy of being with Jesus for all eternity. Those who do not forsake all in this world are not worthy of him. Those who love this world do not have the love of the Father in them. The love of the Father is his only begotten Son Jesus Christ. They do not have Jesus in them because they love another.
“Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and FEW there be that find it.”
“For many are called, but FEW are chosen.” Matthew 22:14 KJV
“Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.” Luke 13:24 KJV
“Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein FEW, that is, eight souls were saved by water.” 1 Peter 3:20 KJV
“Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.” Revelation 3:3 KJV
“Thou hast a FEW names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.” Revelation 3:4 KJV
“He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not BLOT OUT HIS NAME OUT OF THE BOOK OF LIFE, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.” Revelation 3:5 KJV
So, God’s word is really clear about a professing Christian can have their name BLOTTED OUT OF THE BOOK OF LIFE if they don’t overcome sin. That’s why I am commanded today to tell those who have ears to hear to STOP LOVING THIS WORLD more than Jesus. You cannot serve two masters!
“He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.” Revelation 3:6 KJV
Choose this day who you will serve because no one is promised tomorrow.
