With the today's message it deleted. So with that being said

We're going to the same message again, if that's possible. I don't know. I don't know if you can't do such a thing as repeating the same message, but we're going to attempt that we apologize the first message. I thought was great.

Thumbs up for High V in I'm giving me new keys on the head. I'm yours is fabulous, but we lost it. We don't know where it is. It's in the interwebs somewhere. So I apologize if you think we're pouring today, but this is the second time we've done to self start off with the mess the message, which is a vision of the Latter-Day glories. There is Mr. Reverend Charles Spurgeon where Jesus message on April 24th, and he is wearing a bowtie. I didn't know if that either one through 15 second Thessalonians chapter dose. That's too

Phoenix 2nd Thessalonians chapter number 2 verses 1 through 15. We see that now we beseech you Brethren by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and buy our gathering together that you be not soon Shake in the mind or be troubled neither by spirit and I'll buy word Noir by letter as from us as that the day of Christ is at hand let no man deceive you by any means for that day shall not come except there come a falling away first and that man of sin be revealed the Son of Perdition poses and exalteth himself above all that is called God or that is worship so that he has God sitteth in the temple of God show himself that he is God. Remember you remember you not that when I was yet with you I told you these things. And now you know, what was hold us that he might be revealed in his time for the mystery of iniquity doth already work only he who now letteth will let until he be taken out of the way and then shall that Wicked be revealed from the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth and she'll destroy with the brightness of his coming even him whose coming is after the workings of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders with all deceivableness and unrighteousness, and then that perish because they received not the love of the truth that they might be saved and for this cause God shall send them strong delusion that they should believe a lie that they all might be damned who believed not the truth and but had pleasure in the unrighteousness. But we are bound to give thanks all way to the Lord for you brother in Beloved of the Lord because God has from the beginning chosen you to Salvation through sanctification of the spirit and belief of the truth. We're into he called you by Our Gospel to the obtaining of the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore Brethren Stand Fast and hold the Traditions would she have been taught with a byword or pistol?

What he saying here is that there's a lot to come. And that you need to stand fast and hold the Traditions, which you've been taught weather by word or our piss on hold on to that thought while we go into spurgeon's excerpt of a sermon he had delivered on the morning of April 24th in the year 1859. It was at the Music Hall of Royal Surrey Gardens in the title of his whole sermon was called the vision of the Latter-Day Gories. A vision of the Latter-Day Glory obviously, we're going to read an excerpt of the sermon and I will go ahead and begin. I am looking for the Advent of price it is that this it is this that cheers me in the Battle of Life the battle of the cause of Christ. I look for Christ to come somewhere as John Bunyan describe the Battle of Captain Creedence in with by oblivious. The inhabitants of the town of man saw but hard to protect their City from The Prince of Darkness in that last a pitched battle was fought outside the walls.

The captains in the brave men of arms spot all day till their swords were knitted to their hands with blood many and many a weary Howard. Did they seek to drive back? The Diablo lands the battle seemed to waver in the balance sometimes victory was on the side of face and then Triumph seemed to hover over the crest of the prince of hell, but just as the sun was settling trumpets were heard in the distance Prince Emmanuel is coming with trumpets sounding in the banners flying in Wind of men of Mansell, press onward sword in hand Emmanuel tap their foes in the rear and getting the enemy between them both. They went on driving their enemies at the sword's point till at last trampling over there dead bodies at hand-to-hand. The Victorious church saluted is Victorious Lord.

Even so must be we must fight on day by day and hour by hour. And when we think the battle is almost decided against us. We shall hear the Trump of the Archangel in the voice of God and he shall come the prince of the kings of the Earth at his name with tears. Shall they melt and light snow driven before the wind from the bear Side of the Mountain shall Fly Away. And we the church militant trampoline over them shouting. I mean, she'll shout. Excuse me. She'll salute our Lord shouting Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah the Lord God omnipotent reigneth

So that's Charles Spurgeon. They're talking about it says over here with Captain kept going back into dubilier talking about. What's the name of that? Book Andy? I can't think of that book right now. John Bunyan. That's it. Thank you. Tell grandfather from Congress. Dial bolians Geoffrey Owens. Briones The Witcher version is referring to is Isaiah chapter 2 verse number two and it shall come to pass in the last days that the mountain of the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains and shall be exalted above all the hills and all the nations shall flow on to it. If we go into my cat chapter 4 verse number one, but in the last days, they shall come to pass that the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be established in the top of the mountains and it shall be exalted above the hills and people still flow on to it. Sister, Jean is bringing to the point that there's going to be coming time. A time when Jesus Christ Our Savior is going to come again. There's going to be a time when he calls the church to come with him. There's going to be this moment of Celebration and joy and victory that's going to take place. And what has drawn our attention to is us as the Christian today. What are we doing? Are we ready? Because a battles going to a battle is happening and we need a stud be steadfast and we need to hold our position and we need to just keep on going until our savior comes so With that being said we need to be first of all are we ready for the battle? Are we ready to step forward and to do those things? We have to look at the fundamental Foundation that we have as us being Christians. Are we reason our Bible? Are we going to church or are we witnessing to others? Are we praying just a simple Foundation as us as Christians? Do we even have that Foundation already established?

If we're going to hold fast.

When the illustrations are we we used before of was a soldier a marine an Airman a sailor whatever it may be in the armed forces. They have to have training. They have to be prepared to go into battle. They have to have a foundation at boot camp at basic training to have whatever maybe Debbie IT Tech School, whatever. Do you get MOS? I get a FSC to get whatever they do to be identified as that that's person is trained and organized to go in the battle. But it just doesn't seem right there. It's a continuous training. It's Maneuvers the Maneuvers and Maneuvers and Maneuvers in different supervision revised where you have plans. To make things better. It's a continuous evolution of progress. So as us as Christians, we have to have that training first of all, we have to know. We saw some people just don't know how to read the Bible that mean it's not a special way. But you know, you read the first verse and you're like wow that that's a tough one. I don't know we use this. The King James version because of the Old English sometimes brings more of an emphasis in a verse then other translations Andy and I were discussing in the verse that we had in 2nd Thessalonians in Chapter 2 verses 1 through chapter 10 verses that there's the capital to call the wicked and that's a name for Satan Wicked is just not a Broadway hit anymore. It's actually Satan himself. So That's why we have the emphasis and one reason and one of the many reasons why we use the King James version. but you may not know how to read the Bible. You know, you mean I know the first couple years are first, you know, you just need a Bible reading buddy if I can put it that way, you know, some guy that's accountable or gallons, Would you like to read the Bible today? Just you did okay, and if you did it I said that accountability. Is very important? I'm praying you'll sometimes we get so busy. We don't pray there is a there is, you know, just like everything else in life things are hard you have to be disciplined things are tough. You have to make time and budget things anything. You just can't wake up and say well today I'm going to do this this and this and if you got a plan it's okay because as soon as you figure out how much do this this and this you can get a flat tire and none of us going to happen Okay, so, you know, pray go to church maybe someone's listening today have never been to a church before you're terrified of them. You think like Lightnings going to come down and strike you as soon as you walk through the doors of a church. Do fishing or whatever your reason maybe Church Your Faith Baptist? El Paso. Org click on watch live. You're going to church. Okay, just go to church. Some of you have never been a witness.

And I'm going to I'm going to explain it to you simply like this. That's what the church is for to help you to train you in all these things. I just discussed how to read the Bible encourage you to read the Bible encourage you to pray and courage will be a witness. And yes, we want to encourage you to come to church again. What the church is for?

That's partly to worship with it with you and also to fellowship with you. You know why? But you need that Foundation you need it. If you don't have it, please reach for a church reach for us.

I mean but got to go to church to be ready because you're going to hold fast to one Christ comes if you don't have the foundation know. I'm the understanding you're not holding fast to anything. They're just holding faster. They'll come and pick you up.

Because every day is a battle. Everyday at the Bowden. And every day is another day for you say oh, woe is me. I didn't read my Bible today. So whoa, whoa is me. I don't need to read my Bible tomorrow because I'll be missed one day I missed two days. I missed it all doesn't matter.
