the sermon was on one of my all time favorite
passages of scripture.
Matthew 25:1-13
Spiritual Preparedness
25 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins,
(10 = divine order, completeness, law, responsibility, and testing.)
which took their lamps,
and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
(They lit the way for the bridegroom
when he comes)
2 And five of them were wise,
and five were foolish.
3 They that were foolish took their lamps,
and took no oil with them:
(Holy spirit, salvation...)
4 But the wise
took oil in their vessels
with their lamps.
(They had jars of oil
along with the lamps...
They were ready.)
5 While the bridegroom (Christ) tarried,
(Took a while,
its supposed to be a surprise.)
THEY ALL
slumbered and slept.
(Thats the church
and that is exactly what happened.
"slumbered and slept"
Its here, its 2x in garden of gethsemane
with the discipiles
The church wasnt mentioned in Revelation
for all those chapters cause she was asleep
has way more scriptural support for it
than any kinda forced "snatched away"
against their will does....
We've created "alien lifeforms"
and are developing
alternate routs to immortality
and church leaders aren't saying anything
about any of it proves this point.)
6 And at midnight there was a cry made,
(Verse six...figures)
Behold, the bridegroom cometh;
go ye out to meet him.
(By who :-)?
The virgins are asleep.
The Bridegroom aint there yet:
6 And at midnight there was a cry made,
Somebody isn't asleep.
THATS JTB 2.0 YO.
Second time around...
Third if you count Elijah...
No not reincarnated.
But instead:
"In the spirit of..."
"Heralding
Heralding is the present participle of the verb herald, which means to announce, signal, or be a sign of something important that is beginning or approaching.
Key Meanings and Uses
• To announce or proclaim:
To make something publicly known,
often with enthusiasm or a sense of importance
• To foreshadow or signal:
To act as a forerunner or early sign
that a future event is on the way
as in Hark the Herald angels sing..."
7 Then ALL THOSE virgins arose,
and trimmed their lamps.
8 And the foolish said unto the wise,
Give us of your oil;
for our lamps are gone out.
9 But the wise answered, saying,
Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you:
but go ye rather to them that sell,
and buy for yourselves.
(Nowhere does it say that the wise ever "bought" their oil.
I don't think they ever did,
I think their oil was supplied
supernaturally
just like The widow at Zerapaths was.
But now thats what the foolish have to do
go purchase theirs from merchants
Kinda like trying to buy salvation
from a Social Media Influencer
or a televangelist or something
but I digress...
10 And while they went to buy,
the bridegroom came;
and they that were ready
(Notice it didn't say:
Those on a magic carpet ride to nowhere
snatched away against their will to nobody knows
where or who takes you or how you come back
as the beautiful bride of Christ without blemish
after all 35,000+ denominations
having been waring with each other
for centuries on end.
NO. That is not what it said.
It said:
and they that were ready
went in with him
to the marriage:
and the door was shut.
(Just like it shut on the ark.
GRACE ENDS.)
11 Afterward came also the other virgins,
saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
12 But he answered and said,
Verily I say unto you,
I know you not.
(Because when the time came
you were not ready
and you had to run after
what merchants were selling,
after having fell asleep
instead of accepting
what was given freely
unto you to begin with.)
13 Watch therefore,
for ye know neither the day
nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
Lots of levels but you get the basic drift
of the subject matter.
And Pastor Bridgette did a great job with this yesterday
and like I mentioned its one of my favorites.
So I mentioned to her after the service a U2 song
that was stuck in my head the whole time
she was preaching practically lol.
I had background music
in my head the entire time
she was preaching lol.
I promise you I did...
And it went like this lol:
And it did this time as well
This was next up:
but I like this one and the live aid one better
From the:
"Wide Awake in America" EP.
And that song contains the lines:
"I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake, wide awake
I'm not sleeping
Oh no, no, no..
I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake
Wide awake, I'm not sleeping
Oh no, no, no..."
And I said
"Honey? Look up the scripture from today
on your phone...and of course it doesn't cooperate
so she gets her bible out...
Im driving through town:
"Read it!...Plz...lol"
And she starts reading:
"25 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight there was a cry made,
Behold, the bridegroom cometh;
go ye out to meet him...
Wo wo wo...
go back to the verse in front of it:
"And at midnight
there was a cry made..."
"Who was that?
That aint the virgins
(Church)
they are ALL asleep.
It aint the bridegroom
he aint even there yet."
And she says:
"Thats John the Baptist."
And she meant v2.0.
And we had just heard:
"I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake, wide awake
I'm not sleeping
Oh no, no, no..
I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake
Wide awake, I'm not sleeping
Oh no, no, no..."
And its both of us:

ONE MOUTH
Separated from before time:
Romans 8:29-30
29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. 30 And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.
More Than Conquerors
31 What, then, shall we say in response to these things?
If God is for us, who can be against us?
I know this much,
That is not the team
you wanna be on.
And thats the way God works.
Just like that.
He talks.
people just don't listen.
And I have read that passage 100's of times.
And only this past Sunday did:
6 And at midnight there was a cry made,
jump out at me.
The text of the passages stays the same.
It's your perspective in life
that changes what jumps out at you
it really does...
