In this segment: Chadwick challenges listeners to choose between dwelling with God now through purification and pursuing 'my best life' on earth, emphasizing the pursuit of eternal life over earthly treasures. He warns against lukewarmness and lip service, asserting that true faith involves denying oneself, picking up the cross, and following the narrow road, which often leads to persecution.
It is up to us whether we want to be set apart. Would you rather be corrected now or give up a little of the good life here to inherit eternal life? Yeshua said, "If you find your life, you will lose it. And if you lose your life, you will save it." This means if I pursue my life and my goals on this earth, I will lose it in eternal damnation. But if I deny myself, pick up my cross, and follow Him down the narrow road, there will be persecution. It will not always be "ain't life grand" or "living my best life." The Bible never says that; that is false motivational speech.
We must get back to the basics. Most of you are there, but it is on my heart to say: get in. Too many people think there is purgatory, lukewarmness, or that they can straddle the fence. No. Get in or get out. Good or evil, hot or cold. When you're hot, you're hot. When you're not, you're not. We want to be hot, not cold. If you are not, now is the time to make that choice.
I can talk all day about the differences in my previous life and my life now, but what about you? What do you want to do with your life? Do you want to reach the platform, the trajectory God has for you? It will be tough, it will be warfare, as Satan does not want that. But will you do it for Him? Then when you stand before Him, He will say, "Well done, my good and faithful servant." Not, "Get away from me. I never knew you."
We all want that first response. Christians want that. But there is a price to pay. If anyone says there isn't, they are not reading the Bible correctly. From Genesis to Revelation, God set apart people who always experienced persecution. If you are persecuted, you are in good company with the prophets and the most holy people who ever walked the earth. Yeshua was persecuted, the disciples were, and we will be too.
This is a rejoicing feast, but rejoice that your names are written in the books of heaven. You will be living with Him in Jerusalem on David's everlasting throne, over the promised land of the Abrahamic covenant, over believing Jews and Gentiles for a thousand years. Rejoice in that, for that time is getting very near. Rejoice that your names are written in the book of life and that you will be with Him on this feast day in the millennial kingdom with the King, after all the craziness of the tribulation. You will be there with your family, the saints, and it will be an extraordinary time.
Thank you for being with us tonight. Miss Pat, Miss Patricia, Shabbat Shalom. We hope you have a great Shabbat and a beautiful seven-day rejoicing feast of Tabernacles with your family. Think on whatever is pure, lovely, true, and noble. We will be back next Shabbat to close out the feast season with the seventh and eighth day of the Feast of Tabernacles. We will try to have a Middle East update during the week.
Enjoy this beautiful weekend, Shabbat, and Feast of Tabernacles. It is a double anointing. Thank you for being with us. We hope you have enjoyed the feast season so far. Now you get to rejoice. It is a commandment to rejoice for seven days with the Most High for what He has done, especially giving us eternal life through Yeshua the Messiah. He is our strength, our song, and our salvation. In the name of Yeshua HaMashiach. Amen.
We will be back next week, next Shabbat, to close out the Feast of Tabernacles, and hopefully before then with another video. Until then, may God bless you, keep you, may His face shine upon you, give you His grace, lift up His countenance upon you and your families, and give you His everlasting Shalom. In Hebrew, "V'yishme'kha Adonai v'yishmarekha, ya'er Adonai panav elekha v'yichuneka, yisa Adonai panav elekha v'yasem l'kha shalom." In the name and blood of Yeshua the Messiah, Yeshua HaMashiach. Amen. Good night, everybody. Happy Sukkoth. Enjoy this beautiful rejoicing feast. Shabbat Shalom. We love you.
Thank you for saving me, lost to found. Move me along the floodwaters to higher ground. Lord, guide me in Your arms so I don't lose my crown. Forever I'll rest in Your arms, safe and sound. Oh, forever I'll rest in Your arms, safe and sound. Oh, safe and sound.
