God's Justice Through the Church

|
| The law of sowing and reaping is not based on my feelings. | |
| That's right. | |
| It's going to happen. | |
| And that's a very troubling thing that America is so wealthy, so complacent, and it just looks like everything is going to continue the way that it's always been. | |
| But you're right. | |
| I don't think it is. | |
| And I think the next two years, the left and the Marxists, the globalist elites, they're put on notice that everybody's fed up. | |
| Everybody wants a change. | |
| We're going to be looking into election fraud now that there's a Republican house. | |
| I hope they will. | |
| If they're listening, you should. | |
| So they know their time is short. | |
| It's like the devil gets angry, right? | |
| The Bible says the devil gets angry. | |
| Why? | |
| Because he's only got two years to push through the digital dollar and all the sexualization of kids and all the agenda that they've been planning for years and years. | |
| The trouble with Christians is we don't plan. | |
| We even plan to remove ourselves from spheres of influence, thinking that we're being holy and being righteous. | |
| In fact, we're totally unjust. | |
| God wants his justice to be revealed through the church, not through the secular world. | |
| And you can't depend on the judges now. | |
| You can see the judges are not fair. | |
| Why weren't there more Christians involved? | |
| Because we have to blame us, the leadership. | |
| We didn't teach it. | |
| I didn't teach it until I realized what a problem it is. | |
| Then I changed and I started studying the Bible and I realized, hey, Jesus is coming back, not as Savior, but as judge. | |
| Even when you quote the verse, judge not lest you be judged, means if you do judge, you will get judged in the age of grace. | |
| Judgment is coming and judgment is still here. | |
| And you say, judgments are coming upon cities of the world. | |
| Remember that? | |
| You said that in the 31 things in 1999 and then the next one was 2019. | |
| Well, the very last thing you said touched my heart so much. | |
| I couldn't believe that. | |
| I mean, I do believe. | |
| I shouldn't say I couldn't believe. | |
| I do believe that God gave that to you. | |
| But you said the first city that gets judged is New York City. | |
| And that's already happened. | |
| And I think more to come. | |
| And then the last in the list, do you remember the last in the list? | |
| You said Bangkok, Thailand. | |
| And that's where I was born. | |
| So I was born at the bottom, at the end of your list. | |
| I was born there. | |
| And I was born again there. | |
| I was born again in Bangkok. | |
| And I grew up in New York. | |
| Wow. | |
| So I looked at that and I said, I don't know if this means anything to anybody else, but that's like a word just for me. | |
| I'm called to the end time. | |
| He even placed me at the book ends of the prophecy. | |
| This is where the judgments are running. | |
| From New York City and all the way to the end, it will be Bangkok. | |
| And I know Bangkok deserves to be judged. | |
| Sexual trafficking, prostitution, all sorts of corruption and crime. | |
| But God has been so merciful to Thailand because it hasn't known the gospel. | |
| It's one of the last countries. | |
| By the way, if you don't know, my heart's for missions. | |
| If you don't know where the unreached people in the world are, the two least, from my understanding and study and travel, the two least evangelized countries in the world are Thailand and Japan. | |
| In Thailand and Japan, we have less Christians and less churches than Iran. | |
| There are more Arabic churches than there are Thai or Japanese churches. | |
| And people don't realize that. | |
| And these two countries are free. | |
| But it's because of the method of how we've approached them. | |
| We study the Quran. | |
| We study how the Imams talk. | |
| We know the life of Muhammad before we ever dare to step foot into a country like Egypt or Lebanon. | |
| You have to study that. | |
| But for 500 years, we sent people into former Buddhist or Buddhist countries. | |
| We have no idea what Buddhism is, what do they teach. | |
| And we say absolutely offensive things like Buddha is dead. | |
| I've heard people say that, come to Thailand, say, Buddha is dead. | |
| Jesus is alive. | |
| Except Jesus. | |
| Nobody will accept Jesus after you've offended them like that. | |
| So we need to understand how to reach the unreached before Jesus comes back. | |
| If I may say, this is not something we usually promote, but my first book that God had me write was called From Buddha to Jesus. | |
| From Buddha to Jesus. | |
| And it's training Westerners, even Easterners don't know anymore, but training Christians how to reach the loss. | |
| in a way that they understand and stop using clichés and stop using hand-me-down evangelism techniques. | |
| They don't understand that. | |
| Just go back to the Bible. | |
| They understand that. | |
| Use the method that Jesus used. | |
| When Jesus preached the gospel, the people who heard it, what did they say? | |
| They said, what must I do to be saved? | |
| Now when we preach the gospel, people say, well, that's nice for you, but not for me. | |
| Well, that's a very different reaction. | |
| Just before I came here, I had an Easterner that he happened to be Sikh. | |
| I don't know if you know the Sikhs have, they have a dagger, they wear their head in a bun, and they have certain traditions. | |
| They're from northern part of India. | |
| And he came into my house. | |
| So I always think it's fair game. | |
| When you come into my house, you're going to get the gospel. | |
| I didn't go to you, so you came to me. | |
| So I started sharing the gospel with him, and he was very open. | |
| But at the end of it, he said, so what does Jesus want from us? | |
| Now I know you're ready to be saved. | |
| So I don't use the same techniques that I was taught in America or in Bible school. | |
| I try to go back to this and say, what did Jesus do that brought such conviction of sin? | |
| That brought, you know, you're not going to be successful all the time, but you want to be more successful. | |
| You want to at least follow the pattern of the Bible. | |
| And so that's in From Buddha to Jesus. | |
| And I think we can't get out of here unless we understand how to reach people who are totally enamored by Eastern philosophy. | |
| They think Eastern religion is so cool. | |
| And Christianity is just, it's, you know, passe, it's outdated, it's irrelevant. | |
| It's the opposite. | |
| It's the opposite. | |
| People out there in Asia, they want to hear this. | |
| They just haven't heard it. | |
| We just need to send, you know what? | |
| Maybe America needs to have the persecution and the destruction that's coming so that there will be a reason, like in the book of Acts, for Christians to scatter and finally be in the will of God. | |
| Wow. | |
| Scatter throughout the world. | |
| And I'll help you get there. | |
| God has sent me to more than 40 countries. | |
| I'll help you get there. | |
| We need Americans to do the call, to follow the call that is on America. | |
| What a special country this is. | |
| But I come here each time, I just think, it's just so rich and so complacent. | |
| You just have everything and you think everything's going to change. | |
| But it is changing. | |
| The next two years, I pray, is going to wake up a lot of people. | |
| And I thank God for you and I thank God for being in Voice of the Prophets. | |
| It's another platform to bring the gospel to more people. | |
| Amen. | |
