Baptist Church, we're so glad to have you
in attendance tonight.
If you have your Bibles, go ahead and
open to 1 John chapter 4, 1 John
chapter 4.
Let me begin by saying thank you to
our associate pastors, to Matt and Corbin who
filled in for me the last couple of
services so that we could take a little
vacation celebrating our anniversary, and so appreciate them
taking care of things and all the staff
working together while I was gone.
For those of you who are not familiar
with our Wednesday night service, again, I normally
answer questions and do topics for people, so
if you have a question you always wanted
to know about the Bible, then be sure
and email us or snail mail us or
let us know and we'll work together to
come up with a Wednesday night topical study
on that.
On Sundays, I normally preach through books of
the Bible, except for special occasions like Christmas,
Easter, Mother's Day we have something else going
on, but normally that's the way we work
this.
Tonight we're going to be doing kind of
a follow on to my earlier message on
419 about the coronavirus.
A little bigger picture tonight, we're going to
be talking about the coronavirus and the UN
Agenda 2030.
In my earlier sermon, we asked the question,
is this coronavirus a sign of the end
of the world, was what I was asked
several times, and I answered that I did
not think the COVID-19 pandemic was one
of the plagues or pestilences listed among the
judgments in the book of Revelation.
I said that I thought the coronavirus was
more like a drill or a simulation or
a dress rehearsal to work out the bugs
to get all the nations prepared for a
final world government.
That was described by the prophet Daniel and
also by Jesus in his Olivet Discourse in
the Gospels.
The apostle Paul also referred to this in
2 Thessalonians 2-7 as the mystery of
iniquity that is already at work and would
even be more so during the end of
days.
Tonight we will see the apostle John refers
to this same mystery of iniquity in 1
John chapter 4 verse 3.
He refers to it as the spirit of
Antichrist, which is already now in the world.
Now, several people referred to my earlier coronavirus
sermon as a conspiracy theory.
However, the technical definition of a conspiracy is
a secret plan, and in the past, the
globeless billionaires did gather in secret in various,
you know, resorts around the world, but now
they're so bold as to publish what they're
planning to do online.
So, if you want to check on that,
you can go to the United Nations website
and look up the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable
Development, and there you will find the master
plan to unite humanity into a perfect new
world order, and they include the exciting news
that this one world order will become our
new normal in less than 10 years in
the year 2030.
So, we ask you to prepare for this
session tonight by going to 1 John chapter
4, and there we will read 1 John
chapter 4 beginning in verse 1.
Beloved, do not believe every spirit but test
the spirits whether they are of God, because
many false prophets have gone out into the
world.
By this you know the spirit of God.
Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has
come in the flesh is of God.
Every spirit that does not confess that Jesus
Christ has come in the flesh is not
of God, and this is the spirit of
antichrist which you have heard was coming and
is now already in the world.
You are of God, little children, and have
overcome them, because greater is he who is
in you than he who is in the
world.
They are of the world, therefore they speak
as of the world, and the world hears
them.
We are of God.
He who knows God hears us.
He who is not of God does not
hear us.
By this we know the spirit of truth
and the spirit of error.
Look back to verse 3 there.
It says every spirit that does not confess
that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh
is not of God, and this is the
spirit of antichrist which you have heard was
coming and is now already in the world.
That was in the time of John in
the first century.
Here we are at the 21st century, so
even more so.
Also in 1 John chapter 2 in verse
18, it says in the last days a
world leader known as the antichrist, is how
John describes him, will appear and dominate the
world through a one world government, and we
see the details about that in Revelation 13,
which we'll be studying about in a few
weeks.
We also saw that in the earlier sermon
that I preached from Daniel chapter 2, 7,
8, and 11, and also Matthew 24, and
in 2 Thessalonians 2.
Now when I say antichrist, I'm not talking
about some villain in a horror movie.
Anti is actually the Greek prefix that means
to be against, to be an adversary, to
be opposed.
So the antichrist is a person who will
appear as a world ruler in the end
times, who will be empowered by Satan, who
will work against Christ.
He will be an adversary of Christ, and
he will stand in opposition to Jesus Christ.
But long before this real antichrist appears on
the scene, the Apostle John says there will
be a spirit of antichrist which will pervade
the world and prepare the way for him.
That spirit of antichrist is at work in
the world today, and it's not some secret
conspiracy theory.
There's actual plan.
The plan is in print.
You can read it for yourself.
As I said earlier, go to the United
Nations and look up 2030 agenda for sustainable
development.
It's a 40 page document filled with a
wonderfully sounding description of a perfect utopian plan
for all humanity.
This document includes 92 paragraphs with 17 sustainable
goals and 169 targets.
Paragraph 50 of that document warns us that
we may be the last generation to have
a chance of saving the planet if we
don't get this done by 2030, which is
probably the source of the statement made by
representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez from New York who
said in 2019, the world is going to
end in 12 years if we don't address
climate change.
In agenda 2030, the word sustainable is found
201 times in the 40 pages.
Their point is is that our current world
is unsustainable.
There are too many people consuming too much
stuff and producing too much waste, and we're
polluting our land, our air, our water.
We're destroying the planet, but never fear.
The UN is here, and they have a
plan to fix everything in a 15-year
period.
They launched it in 2015.
They want it to be complete by 2030.
If the people of the world will simply
unite and do as you're told and give
the United Nations between five and seven trillion
dollars in taxes, then everything will be okay.
The United Nations has a plan to save
the world and to build a utopia, a
literal heaven on earth.
By now you may be thinking, well what
do you get for five to seven trillion
dollars?
That's a lot of money.
Well, you get lots of free stuff.
If you read the document, you'll see that
there's freedom from poverty, free food, free education,
free health care, free reproductive health, also known
as birth control and abortion, free universal basic
income, free smartphones, everything, all kinds of free
stuff for everyone, and of course equally.
And you know it's true because this 2030
agreement was signed by leaders of 193 different
socialist, communist, and Islamic governments from around the
world, so you know those folks wouldn't tell
you a lie.
In 2015, Agenda 2030 was introduced and approved
by Pope Francis as an important sign of
hope.
Also former President Obama agreed saying this is
one of the smartest investments we can make
in our own future.
Now for those who slept through social studies
classes in high school, the Agenda 2030 plan
is pure socialism, which has never worked before
in the history of the world.
It did not work on small scale with
the pilgrims who settled America in 1620.
They nearly starved to death before they changed
their plan to free markets.
It did not work on a large scale
with the Soviet Union or China, where millions
of their people starved to death.
Of course a more recent example is Venezuela,
but for some reason the United Nations leaders
believe socialism will work on a global scale
as a one world government.
Now when I say socialism is the spirit
of Antichrist, it is.
The Agenda 2030 document offers solutions for humanity
that are anti-God, anti-Christ, anti-Christian,
and anti-Bible.
For the sake of time, we'll try to
do about five of those.
We'll do five quick examples.
First of all, example number one, Matthew 4
10, Jesus said, you shall worship the Lord
your God and him only you shall serve,
but in the spirit of Antichrist, UN Agenda
2030 makes no mention of God or his
son Jesus Christ.
It does make one mention of Mother Earth
in paragraph 59, which is as close as
it comes to a deity, but the word
we is written hundreds of times, and I
was wondering who we is.
So I looked in paragraph 1 and there
I found that we are the heads of
state and governments and high representatives of the
United Nations meeting at the United Nations headquarters
in New York from September 25th through the
27th, 2015 on the 70th anniversary of the
UN.
Paragraph 53 says the future of humanity and
of our planet lies in our hands.
That sounded strangely familiar to me.
It sounded like the humanist manifesto from 1973
that says no deity will save us.
We must save ourselves.
Paragraph 91, we reaffirm our under wavering commitment
to achieve this agenda, utilizing it to the
full to transform our world for the better
by 2030, and again I thought where did
I hear that before, and that was a
phrase used by Barack Obama the week before
the 2008 elections that elected him as president.
He said we are five days away from
fundamentally transforming the United States of America.
Now that he's no longer the president, he's
on the road preaching agenda 2030 to fundamentally
change the world.
In July 2018, former President Obama made a
speech in South Africa where he said those
who have more money should share their earnings
with the less fortunate.
There's only so much you can eat.
There's only so big a house you can
have.
There's only so many nice trips you can
take.
I mean, it's enough.
We're going to have to consider new ways
of thinking about our problems like universal income,
review of the work week, how we can
retrain our young people.
The rich need to get smaller houses, which
all sounded very good except after he finished
his speech, President Obama returned to the United
States of America to his 8.1 million
dollar home, eight bedroom, nine and a half
bathroom mansion with swimming pool and security fence
in one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in the
world.
I was reminded of George Orwell's book, Animal
Farm, which was a critique of Soviet communism
where he said all animals are equal but
some animals are more equal than others.
Make no mistake, these leaders at the UN
who think they are God also think they
are more equal than others.
So that's example number one.
Socialism seeks to transform the world away from
God into a godless society that does whatever
is right in their own eyes.
Example number two, Matthew 19, 19, Jesus said,
honor your father and your mother, but in
the spirit of antichrist, agenda 2030 makes no
mention of parents or family.
The UN thinks we don't need that Christian
idea of family with a father and a
mother who love each other and nurture their
children in faith and godliness.
As Hillary Clinton titled her book in 1995,
it takes a village, a global village that
will educate your children with the necessary skills
for this brave new world that we are
inventing.
Goal number four of agenda 2030 says there'll
be free preschool, free primary and secondary education,
access to free tech school or university depending
on your preference, and of course all this
free education from the time you're born means
let the government raise your children.
According to goal number four, free education includes
plenty of classes on sustainability, environmentalism, sex education,
gender sensitivity, human rights, cultural inclusiveness, non-violence,
and equal opportunity, I mean economic equality.
I looked and I didn't see much about
reading, writing, or arithmetic when it come to
the curriculum.
This education though seems to be already working.
According to the Gallup poll in 2018, 50
percent of our young adults age 18 to
29 have a favorable view of socialism.
Maybe that explains why the democrat parties actually
call themselves socialist.
I mean the republican establishment are also socialist,
they just haven't said it yet.
This United Nations education is not just for
kids.
Agenda 2030 provides lifelong learning opportunities.
You can read about that in paragraph 25
and in goal number four.
So yes if you're one of those hardheads
like me that still clings to your god,
your guns, and your bible, you're going to
need some lifelong learning.
I think that is double speak for re
-education camps or as the Russians used to
call it the gulag where you will stay
until you learn what sustainability means.
Example number three, Matthew 19 18, Jesus says
do not commit adultery, do not commit sexual
immorality, but the spirit of antichrist says adultery
is okay, sexual immorality is okay, the lgbtq
lifestyle is okay, the only problem with adultery
is babies, and we got too many of
them.
Therefore agenda 2030 focuses on women, the education
of women, the empowerment of women, the entrepreneurship
of women, the need for women in government,
and positions of power it says.
The women and girls theme is repeated 31
times in this document.
Men are only mentioned five times in passing,
and I was wondering why do they have
such special emphasis on empowering women especially since
most of the dictators who sit at the
united nations assembly are men, but then I
stumbled upon a world population website that kind
of put it all together for me.
It says when women follow their traditional role
of being wives and mothers they tend to
have too many children, so the way to
fix the planet is to make women feel
more like men.
The more they worry about the career the
fewer children they have, so let women commit
adultery all they want, we just don't want
babies.
So the united nation will give women free
birth control and abortion to empower them to
have less kids and lead the world.
Also I think one of the reasons for
choosing women is women tend to be less
belligerent, less willing to fight back against a
global government.
Men seem to have too much testosterone, so
we treat our boys with large doses of
Ritalin so they can sit on the couch
and be couch potatoes playing video games instead
of going outside and pretending to be patriotic
soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines.
Speaking of birth control, China is being used
by the liberals as a model for population
control.
If you remember they had a one-child
policy for decades with strict punishments if you
disobeyed, but the problem was they had the
unintended consequence of a shortage of girls, so
in 2015 they changed to a two-child
policy.
I couldn't help but think, does anybody remember
Genesis chapter 1?
Genesis 1, 28, God blessed the man and
the woman and God said to them be
fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and
subdue it and have dominion over every living
thing that moves on the earth.
So apparently our Lord when he created this
world, he created the earth, he thought it
was big enough for us, but apparently once
you become a billionaire you don't think that's
true.
You worry about having too many babies born
that they might have to cause you to
give up some of your money or power.
I remember reading, this is about 10 years
ago, I read where Oprah Winfrey was among
the billionaires who helped initiate President Obama and
Secretary of State Clinton's global health initiative, which
is a fancy label for reducing world population.
In July 2018 edition of Oprah's magazine called
O, there was an article in there about
shout your abortion, no longer be ashamed, celebrate
the fact that you've had an abortion and
talk about what a positive experience was.
As I read that I thought isn't it
ironic how once Oprah got a billion dollars
she forgot that she was born into poverty
in rural Mississippi to a teenage single mother.
I couldn't help but wonder if she ever
thought about the fact that if somebody back
then was imposing the rules that she wants
to impose now, would she even be alive
today?
By the way how many people can the
world sustain?
According to worldometer, got 7.8 billion right
now and according to the world population balance
website at 7 billion we have three times
what the world can sustain, so that means
about four and a half billion of us
need to disappear.
If you want to get a second opinion
on that you can take a field trip
to Elberton, Georgia where the Georgia Guidestones are.
If you've never been there before it's a
beautiful place out in the middle of a
cow pasture with something that looks like a
mini stonehenge with granite slabs and one of
those says 500 million is all the world
can sustain and that means what six and
a half billion of us need to go
somewhere.
Example number four in Matthew chapter 19 verse
18 Jesus says you shall not steal which
implies that God's plan for humanity allows for
private property.
According to God's law there is a boundary
between what is mine and what is yours
but in the spirit of antichrist also known
as socialism it says that in name of
equality you don't have a right to private
property.
You ought to redistribute your wealth.
Everybody ought to have things equally.
Agenda 2030 recommends hurting humanity into carefully managed
cities where they're sustainable safe and secure.
We see that in goal number 11 which
explains I guess the trend toward tiny houses.
When I think about tiny houses though I
think it's a throwback to the Soviet flats
and apartments where five and six families shared
space together back in the former Soviet Union.
I guess you could call them safe because
they had confiscated your guns and also you
could call them secure because you're being watched
by cameras and neighbors and the Soviet secret
police.
You could also call them sustainable because your
neighbors would snitch on you if you ate
too much food or used too much water
or toilet paper.
Speaking of food the United Nations has decided
that there's way too much food waste going
on in the world the late former undersecretary
general of the United Nations Morris Strong said
quote it is clear that current lifestyles and
consumption patterns of the affluent middle class involving
high meat intake consumption of large amounts of
frozen and convenient foods ownership of motor vehicles
numerous electrical appliances home and workplace air conditioning
expensive suburban housing are not sustainable.
Did you hear that?
What we used to call the American dream
is no longer sustainable according to these folks.
In paragraph 29 the United Nations will manage
the way you produce and you consume goods
and services.
If you've never experienced rationing I think that's
what they're talking about and the way they're
going to monitor this is something called IOT
the internet of things.
Former general and CIA chief David Petraeus a
few years ago was talking about the internet
of things and he talked about how all
the electronic devices in our lives are transmitting
data and then he laughed and said we'll
spy on you through your dishwasher and sure
enough all of our smart appliances are capable
now these days of transmitting data we don't
know where and to who or whatever.
I noticed a while back a commercial that
showed a refrigerator with a camera on the
inside and of course what they said is
if you get off the grocery store and
forget whether you had a gallon of milk
or not you can always look inside.
Well if you can look inside guess what
somebody else can look inside.
So maybe they mean business here.
Land policy in order to save the planet
need to get some people off the land
and into manageable cities.
We read about that in goal number six.
6.6 says they need to protect and
restore water-related ecosystems including mountains, forests, wetlands,
rivers, aquifers, and lakes.
You go through that list I think that
includes about everything.
They're talking about putting all these green space
areas into government-controlled national parks and management
areas.
You want to see what that looks like
you can google search agenda 21 map and
you'll see the areas that they're going to
allow us to inhabit and the areas that
will be off limits.
Not only should you have no right to
personal property nations should not have the right
to national property.
The way they look at the earth belongs
to all earthlings.
You need to begin to imagine a world
with no boundaries and no borders.
And so now you begin to see why
there's such a pushback on the idea of
building a huge wall on the southern border.
In a world with no borders you don't
need any walls.
Goal chapter goal 10 paragraph 7 says they
intend to facilitate orderly, safe, regular, and responsible
migration and mobility of people.
That means once again once you lose your
national borders that people are free to come
and go as they please anywhere in the
world that they please.
By the way this migration of people is
part of a long-standing UN plan suggested
by Richard clergy who died back in 1973.
But he was an early advocate of world
government and clergy said the man of the
future will be a mixed race.
Today's races will gradually disappear owing to the
vanishing of space time and prejudice.
The Eurasian negroid race of the future will
be similar in its appearance to the ancient
Egyptians.
And by the way they present a clergy
award every year to world leaders who are
advancing the cause of this world citizenship.
Previous recipients that you might recognize are Angela
Merkel from Germany, Emmanuel Macron from France, Henry
Kissinger and Bill Clinton from the United States,
and of course Pope Francis from the Vatican.
And I don't know I guess this explains
the mass migration of Muslims from North Africa
and the Middle East into Western Europe.
I assume the social engineers think they will
fight for about 20 years and then they
will marry and have Egyptian children who are
neither Christian or Muslim.
Now before you label me a racist, the
Bible does not condemn interracial marriage.
It condemns interreligious marriage.
And so I'm not against interracial marriage if
both are Christians and you feel like the
Lord is leading you to do that then
more power to you.
However I am against those UN dictators deciding
to force Christians and Muslims together in a
genetic experiment to make a race of Egyptian
atheists who will be slaves for some billionaire's
idea of a new world order.
Yes I'm against that.
Now if you don't own anything or have
private property then it naturally follows that you
should have no expectation of privacy.
And that brings us to paragraph number 70
of this document.
Speaks of online platform to monitor progress on
agenda 2030 goals.
I read in a separate article where Google,
Microsoft, Yahoo, Apple, Facebook, etc.
are very enthusiastic about agenda 2030.
Matter of fact they've entered into partnership with
the United Nations to make this happen.
United Nations wants to build a new worldwide
computer system that will connect everyone.
Goal 16.9. By 2030 they want to
provide legal identity for all including birth registration.
I need to stop here and tell you
that five times in the document it says
no one will be left behind.
So everybody is going to be swept up
into this computer system so that they can
keep up with your identity.
If you remember an earlier sermon I mentioned
that in Davos at the world economic forum
in 2019 they announced ID 2020.
So apparently they're not going to wait on
2030 to make sure everybody in the world
gets identification.
So I guess we wait on something to
be rolled out between now and the end
of the year.
Goal 17.18. They intend to increase significantly
the available of high quality timely reliable data
disaggregated by income, gender, age, race, ethnicity, migratory
status, disability, and geographic location.
Think about that for a minute.
How would you do that?
It must be a powerful computer system.
It's going to keep all that amount of
information on every human being on the planet.
And of course 17.19 they assure us
that the only reason they want this data
is to is to measure our progress on
these sustainable development goals.
On a related topic goal three talks about
universal free health care for everybody in the
world and of course it's also connected to
this information system.
By the way here's where I wanted to
stop make the connection about the coronavirus.
In goal 3.8 and B there are
two statements about vaccines for everyone and then
in goal 3.3 they talk about they
plan the end of epidemics of all communicable
diseases by 2030.
I want you to think about that out
of this huge document there are only three
references three short sentences about epidemics and vaccines
and all of those 17 goals and 169
targets.
And then what I want you to think
about is just two lines in this plan
but look at the real world impact from
those three little lines about epidemics and vaccines.
In the case of COVID-19 the United
Nations and the Associated World Health Organization had
governments all around the world ordering social distancing,
sheltering in place, closing of businesses, collapsing of
the global economy, millions of people unemployed and
trillions of dollars added to debt over what
is now being called by the Centers for
Disease Control the equivalent of a bad flu
year.
Think about that that means behind every little
line in this agenda 2030 there are hundreds
of pages of technical bureaucratic rules and regulations
and orders ready to be implemented when the
time is right for them to be implemented.
Another one of those goals about your property
has to do with goal 17-10 or
dot 10 is they want to promote a
universal equitable trading system under the World Trade
Organization.
What they're talking about there is a cashless
society talking about digital money and if you
want more information on that just do a
little internet search on bitcoin or blockchain or
cryptocurrency but this cashless thing is coming.
They were already trying to get it done
while we were doing the COVID-19 thing
but apparently they ran into some problems in
Congress.
Goal 8.10 talking about digital money is
going to expand access to banking, insurance, finances,
services for all and what that means is
if you need money to build your tiny
house or you want to take that cruise
that you put off or you want to
start a business no worries they're going to
be equal easy credit for everyone except as
I got to thinking about that I got
thinking about wait a minute China.
China again is the model for this new
world order and they've already introduced something called
a social credit score and what that means
is if you need money the Chinese Communist
Party checks to see if you pay your
taxes, if you eat healthy, if you say
nice things about the government.
They also check to make sure you're not
one of those pesky Christians before they decide
to loan you some money.
By the way here in the United States
back in 2017 we learned that Facebook is
also doing something very similar to this with
something called a trustworthy algorithm.
I kind of wonder what my score is
about right now.
Kind of reminds you of Revelation 13 16.
He the beast the antichrist causes all both
small and great rich and poor free and
slave to receive a mark on their right
hand or on their foreheads.
He doesn't leave anybody behind and no one
may buy or sell or get free stuff
except one who has the mark or the
name of the beast or the number of
his name.
Wow look at the time we've only done
about a few of these 17 sustainable goals.
I want to do one more but before
we go there let's let's have a couple
of comments about timing.
Today if you look at your calendar it's
June the 3rd 2020.
These globalist powers that be plan to have
this agenda 2030 thing done by 2030.
So that means we're in for some exciting
times over the next 10 years.
Also our current president claims that he wants
to make America great again.
Well I looked through agenda 2030 and I
didn't see anything in there about that being
part of the plan.
So I don't think the United Nations leadership
wants president to have four more years.
We've already witnessed an impeachment trial like 1974,
a pandemic like 1918, and a ride in
the streets like 1968.
So I think we're also in for some
exciting times between now and November.
And one more thing the year 2030 was
an interesting choice to me.
Many bible scholars believe the year of the
crucifixion of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
was A.D. 30 which means 2030 will
mark exactly 2,000 years from the cross
of Christ.
And if you're a Christian who reads your
bible you need to think about that a
little bit.
What is it Peter said a day with
the Lord is a thousand years and a
thousand years is a day.
Probably ought to meditate on that one a
few minutes.
Again I believe we're in for exciting times
in the next 10 years.
I encourage you to read your bibles.
I encourage you to pay attention to the
news.
And I encourage you to pray for wisdom
as we seek as Christians to figure out
how to navigate these troubled times that we're
living in.
Okay finally example number five.
Matthew 19 18.
Jesus said you shall not bear false witness.
You shall not lie.
John 14 6.
Jesus said I am the way the truth
and the life.
No one comes to the father except through
me.
John 8 32.
And you shall know the truth and the
truth will make you free.
But the spirit of antichrist says wait a
minute the bible is not true.
There's no Christ who will save us.
There's no God.
There's no everlasting life.
This life is all there is.
There is no heaven after this is over.
When you die you are simply dead.
But cheer up.
Socialism provides you the best life now.
The most equality now.
The best life for everybody in the world
now.
Don't listen to these tinfoil hat conspiracy theorists
who believe in Jesus.
And so there you have it.
Who are you going to trust?
You're going to trust the socialist ideas of
agenda 2030 which is the unproven ideas of
Karl Marx, Vladimir Lenin, Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin,
Mao Zedong, Saul Alinsky, whose bodies lie dead
in their graves.
Are you going to listen to Jesus who
lived and died and rose again and behold
he lives forevermore.
And the bible says he's coming back soon
and I believe very soon.
Hopefully this message will help you better understand
the craziness of our current American political system
while you're sitting there yelling at your tv
because you see politicians making all kind of
crazy choices and decisions.
But I do want you to remember this.
Most of our politicians are not working for
the people.
They are working for billionaire bankers and businessmen
who give them the money to run for
the office so that they can fundamentally transform
our world.
Again as the apostle John said that we
quoted in the beginning 1 John chapter 4
verse 3, this spirit of antichrist which you
have heard was coming is already in the
world.
So what is a Christian supposed to do
in this environment?
Well Matthew 24 12 Jesus said in the
last days lawlessness will abound, chaos will abound,
anarchy will abound, and the love of many
will grow cold.
But what he who endures, he who keeps
on loving, he keeps on following Jesus, he
who endures to the end shall be saved.
John picks up on this and adds in
1 John 4 4 you are of God
little children and you have overcome them because
greater is he who is in you than
he who is in the world.
You say well Danny how can a Christian,
I mean we're outgunned on every side, they
got more money, they got more political power,
how can a Christian be victorious over the
deception and confusion and craziness that's going on
in our world?
Well 1 John 5 4 answers that whoever
is born of God overcomes this world and
this is the victory that overcomes the world
even our faith.
We can overcome, we can be victorious through
faith in Jesus Christ and of course faith
means to believe, trust, and obey God regardless
of which form of human government happens to
be in charge at any given time whether
it's democrats or republicans, whether it's communist or
capitalist, whether it's nationalist or globalist, it doesn't
matter he's still on the throne and as
Christians we are called to keep on loving
even if the world around us is hateful.
We're called to keep on believing in Jesus
even when the elite people of the world
call us ignorant or deplorable or conspiracy theorists.
We're to keep on obeying Christ's commandments even
when the world around us tell us there
is no Christ.
We're to keep on being faithful to Christ
even if we're surrounded by a faithless and
perverse generation.
Revelation 2 and 3 Jesus makes some precious
promises to overcomers.
He says to him or her or her
who overcomes I will give you access to
the tree of life in the paradise of
God.
To him or her who overcomes I will
give you eternal life.
To him or her who overcomes I will
give you a new name written in the
book of life.
To him or her who overcomes I will
confess your name before God the Father and
his angels.
He'll stand in front of the God Almighty
himself and say well done good and faithful
servant.
To him or her who overcomes he said
I will clothe you in white garments of
wholeness and give you access to the new
Jerusalem the holy city.
To him or her who overcomes he said
I will give you a seat around my
throne.
To him or her who overcomes I will
be your God and you will be my
people forever.
So what are you going to do?
Are you going to conform to the new
atheist socialist world order that's being built?
Or are you going to overcome the world
through faith in Jesus Christ?
Let's pray.
Our Father in heaven holy is your name.
Lord from our perspective we're living in some
pretty difficult times.
Help us to be faithful during this desperate
hour.
I pray Lord if there's one who is
listening to our service tonight man, woman, boy
or girl that's never trusted Christ as their
Savior and Lord I pray to you stare
in their heart and realize that the hour
is late later than any of us think
and if they're going to trust you they
need to do it now while it's still
called today.
Lord lead them to repent of their selfishness
and sin to believe in your son Jesus
Christ so they can be saved.
