November 4th 2009 Wednesday Message Summary

Scriptures: Matthew 22:11-13

In the winter, when the temperature is unbearably cold, fire, hot food, warm clothing and a warm room, and even a steaming sauna is what is most urgently needed. The same is true when it comes to faith too. When your heart becomes cold and your faith grows colder and loses heat in the course of dealing with the world, what is most urgently needed is the “fire of the Holy Spirit” that will heat up your hearts and spirits. Hallelujah! Amen.

In the parable of the wedding banquet the king prepared everything and then brought people by sending people out and asking them to come. Wearing the right clothing is what people who are invited must do. It isn’t work the king should do. They were kicked out because they didn’t do the things that were their responsibility to do. Wearing the right clothing is actually not that difficult. The message about the wedding banquet was given so that we would do it like that. People who listen to the messages as if they were messages meant for others are just like people who didn’t wear the right clothing.

In God’s eyes, living according to God’s Will is what dressing in the clothing of righteousness in your life is. If you live according to the world’s ways, you become a person who lives wearing the clothing of the world’s life. When you go to the military you must wear military uniforms, soccer players on a soccer field must wear soccer uniforms, and swimmers at the pool must wear swim suits, the brides at the wedding must wear bride’s clothing. In this way, people who are to go to Heaven must wear the Heavenly linen of righteousness. If they don’t, they can’t go to Heaven at all.

Things we come to knowledge of while in the world by hearing about them and things we gain knowledge of by personally experiencing them are truly different. About Hell too. When you read about it in the bible or hear about it, there are lots of different descriptions about the pain and suffering that is there. For example, there are descriptions such as, “People will gnash their teeth and weep bitterly.

They are subjected to all kinds of pain and suffering in the sulfuric fire and express their agony through their bodies. They are so hot and thirsty in the fire that they ask just for a drop of water to be dropped on their tongues. They are in so much pain and agony that they wish for nothing more than to tell their family living on earth to believe in God so they don’t come to Hell.” There are two types of Hell; the Hell in the world and the Hell in the spiritual world.

The Lord said, “Even if people go to hell and come back and tell people about it, people know only that it is scary but don’t know the true pain and agony.” After hearing this I asked the Lord when people really start to know. The Lord said:

They don’t know it even until one step away from falling off the cliff into hell. How ignorant and sad that is. If people sin, the black hole of hell sucks them in like a magnet pulling on a piece of metal, but they don’t know even until right before the final step. They begin to feel hell as they take that final step and their spiritual bodies tilt forward and plunge. That’s when they start to feel hell. Their spiritual bodies feel that and see themselves plummeting into the ocean of fire faintly below in the distance.

Their spirits start to feel it from that moment forward. They feel the pain thousands of times more clearly than their body’s minds do. They scream and try to get out of it but the weight of their sins pull them down as they fall carrying the weight of their sins. Then they land on hell’s floor and start to suffer the scorching pain of hell.

In the world people don’t know even 1 second before the car accident happens. Once the collision happens with a “crash” they feel the pain in their bodies and know, right? People live having no idea even though they are right before falling off into hell. Every day I see many people falling into hell and I send people of the gospel to those who don’t believe. Even then people don’t know and reject it. Hurry and save them.

The Lord said, “People finally realize about the fact that they took sin lightly and didn’t repent during the time they were in the world only when they are falling into hell. You will also realize about how you lived your life being thankful and grateful despite going through tribulations and suffering on my behalf when you actually go to Heaven. You will realize when you actually go to heaven just how terrific repenting was. You will realize once you go to heaven just what a terrific thing doing acts of righteousness is and what a great thing enduring and bearing with the slanderers and wicked people instead of fighting with them is. You will realize the true essence of things once you go to heaven but people who understood my shimjung and comforted me during their lives on earth I will truly love them and make them my great hope during the time before the second coming.”

Hell too. You know it once it happens to you. You will know it when the Lord’s second coming actually happens. The person who didn’t wear the proper clothing realized once the wedding banquet actually happened. The five virgins who did not prepare the oil finally knew it when the bridegroom actually came and they were confronted with it. Ultimately they did not receive him. The same is true of this time period too.

Is there anywhere else that preaches as passionately as we do in Providence? Right now is the chance because the Lord is working with us. This is the final chance we have to serve the Lord and do it with the Lord before the Lord’s second coming.
