When the trumpet sounds…

Welcome back to Ignite. I hope you're enjoying these podcasts. I mean, they're simple words. I'm not profound. I'm not a theologian. One of the reasons I have fun sharing my faith is because I talk in simple terms. Everybody can understand. But they are profound, aren't they? I mean, the points that we make are profound. They should be shaking your life. I mean, you say most of you would say, you know, yes, I trust the Lord with my whole heart so I can direct my steps. But 80% of you are living in fear. And if you're living in fear, you're not trusting God with your whole heart. So there's a disconnect here is my point. You know, our focus on igniting Christians or igniting America one person at a time. I mean, let me say it again, our focus here at Ignite is to ignite Christians, to ignite America one person at a time. And the hard part of that is the Christians are challenges, igniting Christians. We don't have to ignite the world. The world is is coming unglued. Do you know that 40% of Americans now believe we're in the last days? Over 80% of the Unchurch, know the world's coming apart are hoping there's a God and are looking for somebody to tell them about him. Wow. But only 1% of Christians are sharing their faith. Where's the problem? Do you understand what being left behind means? Do you understand that? It seems we don't. We all sense that we're getting to these last days. And yet we're all going through life and we're surrounded by loved ones and family members who are about to be left behind. I mean, it could happen at any moment that twitling right could happen this afternoon. And we walk right on and then never even hinders our mind that we need to help them and keep them from being left behind because when you're left behind, it's not good folks. It's not good. All hell's going to break loose. Antichrist comes and everything happens. It's bad. I keep going back to the statement that Pendulant, the great entertainer, great guy, brilliant guy. And he had this guy come up to him after his performance one night. Remember and share with him and give him a Bible. And here's this guy in about atheists saying, if you really believed I was going to hell, how much would you have to hate me to not tell me? We're running out of time. Do you hear me? We're running out of time. I don't know if your pastor's talking about this. That's anymore. We're running out of time. I don't know if it's five years. I can't imagine being longer than that. I suspect it's a whole lot closer to that. No man knows the hour, but we will know the signs of the times. Luke 21 talks is when these things begin to happen, when they begin, not after they've been going for a while, and they've been going for a while already, folks, when these things begin to happen, look up and rejoice for your redemption draw. Wow. I don't get into politics, but it's hard to avoid what's going on in the world. They are signs of the times. It's inevitable. We're talking about one world government, world economic forum, who, everything's coming to that point. The one world currency, the one world church. It's on our doorsteps. It's right now. Do you know the one world church already has its first church in Abu Dhabi being hailed by all denominations? This is a place where we'd all come together with a gospel that has nothing to do with the gospel. The World Bank, the International Monetary Forum Fund, the IRS have all come together. We are going to have a digital global digital currency. That's coming. It's coming. It just matter when. It is coming. Did you see this last fall? Do you know the Pope would mount a rarat with a bunch of religious leaders, and they created a new commandment, a new 10 commandment, not new commandments, the Pope created a new 10 commandments based on the climate change at Mount Ararat. That's already done. Then you want to get into AI, all the artificial intelligence. If it was going to happen in our lifetime, it would be in the Bible. It's not folks. If anything shouts the message, it's explosion of knowledge. It's an AI. It's all over the place. Everybody agrees. It is going like crazy. It's going to control us. We're at that moment in human history. It's so exciting to know we're actually here. If I'm off to that, if I talk to God before he placed me here, and he said, okay, Barry, here's Adam and Eve, and here's Moses and David playing out to the current day. He said, you can be going anywhere you want. There's no question. I'd say, I want to be here right here right now at 80 years of age. I have this knowledge. I know who he is. I have the opportunity to represent him. Do you realize that God chose us? He chose you to represent him in these last days. Wow. And then a twigley of an eye. It's gone. We're with him forever more. Wow. Again, it could be five years. It could be today. We don't know where it's going to be. But it's happening. No matter what. No matter who you are, no matter what you've done, it doesn't matter. If you're a Christian, you're running out of time to tell your unsafe friends. If you're not a Christian, if you haven't accepted Jesus Christ yet, you're running out of time to do that before the rapture. It's a critical days. Can't emphasize it enough. That's what drives me at 80 years of age and seven days a week as fast as I can. I can do everything I can to to unite our friends and unite Christians. They're not going to get it from our churches. We have some great churches, but they're so few. Do you know what that lesson 10% of our church even preaching salvation anymore? The responsibility comes down to us who know Jesus Christ and living the great commission, living for God's purpose and sharing our faith and moving everybody every day closer to Jesus. Wow. I'll leave you to this one thought at your last moment on earth before that twinkling an eye. What do you want to be found doing? I'll ask you one more time. At that last moment, when it finally happens after all your life and all you've done and after all the world history and the and the trumpet sounds you do there, what do you want to be found doing? Think about that. Some of you aren't doing anything. Just living your life for your life. When it's over in a nanosecond, we're like a flower and gone. Eternity is eternal. Storage and treasures in heaven. The treasures are you wondering what it is? The only thing the only thing it's going to matter when you get to heaven is how many other people are in heaven because of your influence. Nothing just matters. I love my business. I love my life. I love fine meals and cars and all the things we're doing, the people we meet, the fun we have. I love all that but it's going away. It's temporary. At your last moment on earth, what do you want to be found doing? I tell you what I want. I want to be leading one last person into eternity. Thank you about it. See you next time.
