James 4:14 states, "Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away ." This verse compares human life to a vapor, emphasizing its brevity and fragility. It suggests that life is short and uncertain, and we should not take it for granted.
Some testimonies and thoughts.
You know I had a friend who's deceased now who used to say if you found one friend in your life who is truly your best friend you've done great well Jesus Christ of Nazareth is our best friend and he died for the sins of the world and he laid down his life as a ransom for many remember that. Mark 10:45 John 3:16 But this fella who passed away and I heard by scrupulous means that he passed away from my mom. He used to give me money and treat me like a brother. He used to give me clothes and drive me even to interviews. He was like a brother but he was into sin flesh and the devil very good looking guy but very hard. He had some of the most beautiful women in life but he didn't like them and we thought he was gay but he wasn't he was just firm and he was very intelligent. He didn't like women that had great beauty but no brains. I seen him get slapped out many times and had to save him in our youthful years as the way he talked to women sometimes was downgrading. He like this girl who was it one time his girlfriend but he wasn't a true Christian he was a counterfeit Christian and he lost her. All he did was talk about her and how she followed men who bought her expensive jewelry to different nations and one in particular but I won't mention it. I used to tell him what you want is not good for you you're better without and try to deal with this smashing down and sometimes lifting up and he would find comfort in that. He did find women he had relationship with but they were much younger and they didn't last. Then he lost me later on when I was searching for Christ and realized that company I had been keeping were not true Christians and they were world sucking hypocrites in sin, flesh and the devil. He could never have understood he smoked cigarettes and was attracted to Howard Stern's scrupulous characteristics swearing and talking unholy nonsense. Howard Stern is on the way to hell. He's not a Christian if you live an unholy life and you're not saved and unless you believe in the true Jewish Messiah you're headed to hell that's all there is to it. I hadn't been around him for maybe 10 years and one day I heard he passed away. When I preached to them in the later years I would just get vain go nowhere useless chatter lighting cigarette chain smoking after cigarette and blowing the smoke in my face and I would rebuke him. The rebellious wicked love the wages of sin which is death. Heaven or hell when you die.
Last week I was in an area and I seen a few people fighting young people because one of the person just kept sleeping with people and using people according to the women yelling at him in public. I overheard it and caution these people that their involved in sin and some people laughed other men around because I addressed the situation and very few people do. As the young people today are wicked. Need to be faithful like Christ can you do it? You need to crucify the flesh can you do it and are you willing. Are you fornicator going to hell because you're not promised another day and unless you're saved and you have repented of your sins you are going to expire one day. Be cautioned.
I believe it was the day before yesterday Saturday and I was out stopped off to get a coffee some guy big tall guy long hair holding cigarettes buds in line in front of me and he gets his coffee and order gets to the door and starts swearing his head off at the clerk. People overheard this. I told the clerk he is of the his father the devil and the tall man the clerk was very polite. After I left I had time because I had an appointment so I went East and I ran into this fella didn't really talk to him swearing at the top of his lungs at everybody walking for a long way swearing at everybody cars and people and then I see a man in a plaza exact same thing but he was sitting in a corner doing the same thing. Of course I rebuked them to in sort of an open prayer. You see I was on a bike. I made sure they heard me. Entitled people that are sinful of their father the devil is what these are.
I was waiting for an appointment and I see a liquor store and a guy swearing because it wasn't open yet and I see it says spirits on the advertisement and I told the young man what's your anguish and said alcohol is bad for you and he said you think of yourself and I'll think of myself. I said I'm thinking of your soul but you're not. Alcohol gets you drunk people drive drunk and kill people. Why would you put toxins in your blood sort of to speak but when you're in that state of mind you don't know any better such people just love their master drugs. I don't read anywhere in scripture where Christ drank alcohol strong drink. According to the scriptures, "Jesus drank wine at the wedding in Cana where he performed his first miracle of turning water into wine. He also drank wine during the Last Supper." Jesus is we're talking about Yeshu in Hebrew not pagan Jesus risen in glory and he is and was the unblemished Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world not the defiled blemished Lamb of God. Wake up!
Look at the nature of man his fallen nature. When they ruled alcohol out completely prohibition and the uprising and making alcohol in private moonshine. Last week after preaching about cocaine and that fella that was drugged out and had that experience where his testimony is he claims he went to hell a guy dressed like the devil in black crossed the street and was yelling out cocaine to people crossing at the intersection and there were some young people there particularly Filipino or Chinese woman young woman and I said to her he's of the devil I told her about the Bible should be reading it daily and stressed that people her age should stay away from such scrupulous evil characters who are on the way to hell and evil doers.
The wages of sin is death that means eternal damnation.
That means when your body dies your soul doesn't die but you have your same consciousness and you end up in Hell probably in some sort of a spiritual body and there you are punished for eternity. You're not getting out catch and release after 5 years, 10 years, 20 years you're there for eternity think about that. God is merciful gave you his only begotten son who died on the cross for the sins of the world and he fulfilled the will of his father to save human beings from the wrath of God. Remember Christ said it is better for some people if they weren't born because they're going to end up in the hell like Judith. Imagine selling out God the real God who gave you your soul. If you look and you know scripture when they opposed Moses in the Exodus what happened to the people that did such. God punished them severely. Numbers 14:2 throughout 45
Even Moses and Aaron his brother were punished for lack of listening to God and faith. God slain a great number of these exiles in the wilderness for murmuring not respecting his mercy and after seeing those miracles. You can go look up the scriptures if you want. Sodom and Gomorrah God destroyed those cities and everybody in them. Even lots wife turned into a pillar of salt for looking back and disobeying God. God wasn't saying I love you. Don't abuse God's mercy! God forbid according to Apostle Paul. People don't love the truth and perhaps they would listen to a song like all you need is love by the Beatles but that's not totally true. You need Jesus Christ of Nazareth and to be born again and it would be advisable since the VINE is holy to live a holy life not a defiled life as written in the word of God. He Christ is risen and we're talking about the Jewish Messiah. HE is life itself and without him you will perish. Ezekiel 18:4 and Ezekiel 18:20 . JOHN 3:16 JOHN 10:10 Matthew 7:13 - 14
