REVIVAL OR HELL FOR THE UNBELIEVERS?
PART FIVE

April 23, 2000
According to 1997 statistics, the birth rate for the United States per day stood at 10,636 babies, and the death rate stood at 6,323 persons. The statistics for the whole world was 380,821 babies born per day and 145,205 death per day. Fifty three million people die every year. How many of these are born again Christians?  Isaiah 5:11-14

SPIRITUAL BLINDNESS
The Devil and his fallen angels are working 24 hours per day to make sure that the knowledge of hell and the Lake of Fire shall be taken away from all people.  Revelation 12:7-17; 20:7-15

Some born again Christians have knowledge of this. But what few know is that GOD HIMSELF, AS PUNISHMENT FOR SINS, HAS CLOSED THE UNDERSTANDING OF SOME PEOPLE AND EVEN IF THEY WANT TO REPENT, THEY CANNOT!

DO I REALLY WANT JESUS TO BE LORD IN MY DAILY LIFE? Philippians 2:1-15

The rich young ruler felt that the price was to high to be close to Jesus! Mark 10:17-31

Most people only want to use God, to be healed, to be delivered, to get a better job, to find a spouse, to get away from prison, to get ahead in this life, to receive more blessings, etc. Since they do not really know God, they look for someone who is anointed, and want the anointed one to intercede for them. Once they have obtained the blessing they are requesting, they have no more use for God or his people, but then they want to return to their sinful ways and the sinful people they were running around with before. Acts 8:5-24

LEARN THIS, DO NOT ARGUE WITH GOD!
Many people want to call the "shots," telling God and his servants how things are going to be done, how God is going to bless them, according to their requests. God does not like this at all, he will get really upset!
