HOW WILL THEY HEAR UNLESS A PREACHER TELLS THE TRUTH?

I had a very interesting time in the Durham County Jail tonight! I seldom know what the Lord is going have me preach or teach until I get there. What kept coming to me is how are they going to know the truth unless they are told the truth? We have a huge problem in Durham with spineless, lying, imposters they "label themselves" with titles of "pastors", "bishops", "apostles", "prophets", etc. These liars are leading people straight to hell and will have the blood on their hands to prove it when they stand before the Lord if they do not REPENT! I have been to one funeral since 2008 where the TRUTH was preached  and that was led by Pastor Andre Marshall of Shabach Outreach Ministries. He did not preach the deceased into heaven like so many do and he did not preach him into hell. He preached what the Word of God says about how a person should live their life.

The huge problem lies with other gang members, youth and adults that are not living their lives for the Lord hearing these imposters tell how the deceased are "in heaven" or "in a better place"???  Those that were close to the person and knew the lifestyle they lived think to themselves...."I knew how they lived and if they went to heaven I am in too because I was no worse than the deceased".

Tonight as I began speaking I brought up the last funeral that I was at. I asked if anyone knew the deceased and a guy sitting just to my left said that he was one of his best friends. I brought up the scriptures Hebrews 12:14 and 1Peter 1:14-16.....

Hebrews 12:14 Strive to live in peace with everybody and pursue that consecration and Holiness without which no one will [ever] see the Lord.

1Peter 1:14 So you must live as God's obedient children. Don't slip back into your old ways of living to satisfy your own desires. You didn't know any better then. 15 But now you must be Holy in everything you do, just as God who chose you is Holy. 16 For the Scriptures say, "You must be Holy because I am Holy."

The friend of the deceased was getting on edge while we were discussing the verses. I then turned to him and asked if his friend was striving to live a "Holy life"? His response was a gruff "I do not want to even talk about it". I then said that you can not listen to these liars at these funerals that preach these lies. It was as usual when we started with most proclaiming to be Christians. Hmmm? Seems just like the majority of the modern day churches in this country doesn't it? We continued to talk then I said that everyone of us in the room have people that we loved and cared about that if we look to the Scriptures above and test their lives according to the Scriptures then it doesn't look good for their eternal destiny. I said we are not honest because the TRUTH hurts! I shared that according to the scriptures my own parents I believe are in eternal trouble today. I went back to the friend of the deceased and said "you do not want to talk about it because it hurts doesn't it"? He replied, "yes".

I had one little cocky guy who kept disrupting with he believed that there were people on other planets and who can say what is really true. How about Muslims, Buddhists, Jehovah Witnesses, etc, (or any other demon religions). I finally told him that we all have a free will to follow whoever and whatever we want to follow. He quickly responded "now that's right" then I quickly responded that "if what I preached tonight is true and I wholeheartedly believe it is then your cocky little attitude is going to lead him straight to hell if he did not repent"!

I told them all that the good thing about tonight is that each one of us in the room still has breath tonight. If anyone is not living for Jesus then they can make a decision to change their life tonight! I shared with them about our Memorial Wall at Headquarters that contains the names of over 150 that have their eternal destination already set! I kept an eye on the friend of the deceased because he was clearly upset. I wasn't sure if he would take out his frustration on me but everything ended alright. There were a number of guys that come up to me afterward and thanked me for preaching the truth. One said that he had never heard it like that before.

The truth was preached and they all have a decision as to what they will do with their lives. One thing for absolute sure is that they will not be able to stand before the Lord on judgment day and say they were not warned!
