I want to pray for you today my friend because somebody right now needs to go back again. Perhaps you need to go back again and re-examine your salvation in the Lord Jesus Christ.
I did that many, many years ago I grew up in a fine Christian hope made a decision for Christ at a young age, but with a beautiful wife that God had given to me in my young adult hood in the midst of academic pursuit searching mine and many a bowl game. I had to go back again.
I had to go back.
I had to Austin Christian Lord Emma saved Ron know you make certain. Today my friend, give your heart to Jesus today sickle that issue today. Maybe you need to go back again to that place where you first made that commitment like marriage. In some ways is not those of us who been married for many years, we become accustomed to one another in peps take some things for granted little habits begin to creep in it such a good thing to go back again. We all could use some encouragement and will find it together today to the Bible-based preaching of Dr. Don Wilton welcome to The Encouraging Word reaching Dr. Don's messages in today's message Bauer burn we continue from yesterday were studying the book of Daniel together yesterday things I love underline circled was how the fruits are about the people living for God.
What kind of fruit are you afraid are we bearing that's what God calls us to represent who we are today.
When I talk about the ways that we can examine the fruit were very and even bear more of it, for Jesus sake. As we do so. Another were available for you to pray with you and for you connect with the right resources we can do that online@tewonline.org or 866899 word. We would love to connect with you now.
Dr. Wilson listen to song 119 is rejected has become the capstone has done this and it is marvelous in our eyes. This is the day the Lord has my let us rejoice and be glad in it now. Steve, we sing a song.
This is the guy can't sing it with my voice. Like this but this is the diary about the Lord has in mind that the Lord has my grimacing at young people are not.
This is the dark I'll even sing backwards if you want me to do, this is the day that the Lord has made that the Lord has my I will rejoice I will rejoice and be glad I called you folks are so good to what you want to sing with me are strictly preaching. I believe that that song was quite right.
Because most of us are singing about today is the day the Lord is my cannot just turn his. I don't think God's word was talking about this. I think God is talking about the day, what day the day that the stone becomes the cornerstone of the capstone of all mankind. Now which day is that yes, that is, every is when I trust Jesus Christ as my Savior and Christ putting all of my life.
The capstone, so this is the day the Lord is my I will rejoice and be glad in it. But the day of is the day that God is speaking about that is going to come in the constellation of the world. When the whole world is going to come down when this has been. According to this man is going to be free to ask me and God is going to establish his kingly rule and reign for ever and forever. Well it's read about in Matthew chapter 21 Matthew chapter 21. I want to show you something here Jesus constantly had a hassle with the cider season. The Pharisees, these were theologians of professors of theology. They knew more about Jesus that he knew about himself. Jerry Matthew 21 � 42 was one of the replies that Jesus gave to the Pharisees.
Jesus said to them, have you never read in the Scriptures the stone the builders rejected has become the capstone cornerstone, and the Lord will has done this hold on what it's saying Daniel not by human can remember that the Lord has done this. What is the result is marvelous in our eyes. Their full on the basis of this tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and will be given to people who choose its fruit. Now what is the kingdom of God.
The kingdom of God is man and woman living according to the standards of God, Jesus Christ, to say all the will might build empires we might have a golden empire under King Nebuchadnezzar empire under the Medo Persian Empire under the Greeks and the groom will under the Romans, but I'm going to tell you something. It's guaranteed I am the cornerstone and I'm not by human hands, and I'm going to take away this world by human hands, and I'm going to smash it and it's going to come tumbling down and it's kind of crumble and I kingdom of the mountain that is lost for ever and for ever and forever and forever. He says in verse 44 he who forms almost all will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it full will be crashed. Now let's go back to Daniel chapter think we going to start seeing some pieces coming together number one I want you to note in chapter 2 and verses 27 and 28 what the Bible says.
The Bible says that the entire message behind the dream of King Nebuchadnezzar points to the future of the world.
How do we know this because the Bible says look at verse 27 Daniel replied let's go back to verse 26. Can we just in case you weren't here last week, the king lost. Daniel also called Delta says all are you able to tell me what I saw in my dream and interpreted.
Daniel replied no wise man in Trenton magician divinely can explain to the kingdom ministry gives Aust about but there is a God in heaven reveals mysteries. Garrett is, he has shown King Nebuchadnezzar what will happen in the days to come. Now I want you to go to chapter and verse 44 in verse 45. We should be looking in the time of those kings the God of heaven.
What time we looking into the future.
We looking into an arena that you cannot see. I believe that we are part and parcel of that arena. I believe that the greatest challenge that we have today is being able to recognize things that are going on in our world that all plot together with what God has designed for the some people say it. Why does God use something like a dream to reveal himself. Well you going to Scripture you going to find that God is done that all sometimes remembered by limbs donkey you want to read about by limbs donkey go back to numbers chapter 22 in verse 21 and following God created for yourself. I don't have time to not did any of you know that it donkey actually told in the Old Testament or that's an unusual way for God to reveal himself to all what about the ravens.
God used ravens to carry meet to Elijah that present unusual.
What about the rooster that Peter got a hold on a minute, folks.
You telling me that God made a clock close in order to get a message to Peter yes that's what the Bible says God is spoken many times in unusual ways. What about Saul on the road to Damascus being confronted by a bright black. It was unusual you don't see a lot of that. What about Moses and the burning bush, God appeared to him in the burning bush and safety Moses cycle to choose from. Upon your feet for the place where upon he woke his holy ground.
So I want to ask this question. What is it about this age that is yet to come. What are some of the keys that we need to look for, well, three things if we look from verse 41 and following the first we got a look for is I are all forgive the eruption will be back with today's message Bauer burn with Dr. Don Wilton in just a moment, but is we hear Dr. Don speak and perhaps the challenge of the Holy Spirit in our lives of what is it and don't be the one who mixes clay with iron. Maybe there are situations and circumstances that God by his spirit is bringing to light that we need to change you like to have someone pray with you or for you.
I assure you there's no reason to to to give details to our team, but I'm one of those love to take the call this a wait let's not talk too much about it but let me know specifically how I can pray for you so that we can pray together pointing all our attention in our heart and asking God to pour his spirit into that situation and circumstance like to call a square here at 866-899-WORD.
Not just now but 24 hours a day, 866-899-9673. It would be our joy to pray with you and for you. In many cases we have wonderful resources we can put in your hand it will help you continue to grow in your fate see those resources online as well.
At TW online.org that's TW online.org. Now back to today's message Bauer burn with Dr. Don Wilton. This is not a binding terms of the Roman Empire because we down the toenails not we've gone beyond we write down at the bottom of the stack folks.
Some people say to me by sagely pasta. Do you think that the end of the age is near and obscene always. Nobody knows, but I will tell you that we've gone way beyond the head where all the way down to the toes you listening folks historical fact tells us that head has come and gone. The shoulders have come and gone. The size of come and gone. The legs have come and gone, then please come and gone way down to the toes. That's historical fact. Now what about the toes. According to Scripture Gary Daniel's prophecy is already mixture and and clay, so let's look at first of all, what about time. I believe that I am refers to the strength of a nation that's what I'm so let's all ask ourselves the question today. What are some of the strengths of our nation of a nation of nations in the will. I will people today have got to eat and I have it any other time. So a lot of people going hungry. I'm not suggesting that there is no family in the world, but generally speaking, the strengths of the world today is in the surplus of food. By the way, if you have adopted that we Americans waste on believable amounts of food, unbelieving. There is enough food to feed the world, but economics dictates that we start away rather than using second education is a strength.
That's fine. More and more people are educated. I tell young people all the time can't be satisfied with just a bachelors degree anymore. You know that 20 and 30 years ago you could graduate from high school and you were very highly qualified nowadays you graduate from high school and not as highly qualified as you once were.
Unless you land up in your father's business unless you inherit something nowadays it's probably advisable to go on beyond the four-year bachelor's degree is nowadays it's becoming almost mandatory to have a monstrous degree if not a PhD you'll some higher education degree education is made available all over the world to strengthen its iron families.
The emphasis on families. Today we looking for cues now and clues family all over the world is an emphasis on families.
That's a strength in the world today. What about earning capacity per capita around the world there all people earning more money than I had before. That's not to say that they will not hundreds upon thousands if not millions of people from Croatia to China who don't have earning capacity.
We we understand that we have to put this into its right context, but as a general in the world today capacity is far greater social good. This unbelievable social good people trying to do things for one another all over the world. Even in impoverished nations. You can go to places like Bangalore, India. You going to find arrangements of people like Teresa Mother Teresa you going to find goodness of the world. It's a strength justice all these injustice everywhere. We know that there is an effort. At least I masquerade efforts around the world to serve justice to make sure that people are treated fairly. What about morality today.
The moral virtue of the world in general. Even though this will shock a lot of people.
Historically speaking, is on a very much higher level. Generally speaking, than it has been, for example through the dark ages with drunkenness and debauchery and everything else was the order of the day: read about gun read about the Victorian age in Great Britain. Folks if you recoil in horror at the behavior of the royal family of Great Britain. The immorality of the princes and princesses from the Mako on down the road you I read nothing until you gun read about the Henry's and George's and oldies boys. I mean that I had a tire. I mean, you talk about immorality and adultery of the highest Shakespeare tried to write about it in the 17th century, but unfortunately got stuck in an endeavor to meet dock Tylenol to hundreds of poor English, so the message of the immoral age of Shakespeare somewhat distorted, but it's the we live in a formal moral age. Generally speaking, than ever before. We can talk about the strengths of the age. Please sign and clay mixed together play talks about the weakness of the nation of a people of the kingdom.
These two coexisting side by side. Well, let's talk about food we spoke about food as being a strength of the nation. I'm not a nutritionist doesn't take very long for the rest of you to agree with that and it's not actually a major part of my life, but it should be, but I'm going to tell you this doesn't take a rocket scientist to tell you that food today is poisoned and polluted. There are multiple chemicals being introduced into food than ever before. Cows and sheep are being liberated and infiltrated with every kind of antibiotic and every other kind of toxin that you could ever imagine. Foods are being sprayed left and right. That's why you can go and blastoff in the grocery store.
Now you can have it at home for three weeks without drawing any green stuff on the sad part about having bread at home and not seen any green stuff for three weeks is because it's got so many preservatives on that. The green stop start no charge even appear in fact, if you want to get some really good food. Get it and if it gets green stop within a day. You know that you bought some healthy food.
I just thought I would drop that in there for some sort education. All we aren't educated people, folks, I'm going to say to you whilst we are grateful for the incredible man and woman who have a passion and the compassion teach our people, even in the United States of America. The standard of education is dropping at a free full right, the standards are becoming lower and lower and lower and lower. It is almost any student to actually fight you any and every teacher actually used the student by going to face the possibility of everything from a lawsuit to who knows what because everything including the kitchen sink will be thrown education. Yes, it is a strength, but living in such a compromise.
Where there is such a mixture of clay we tell students that they go to work hard, but on the other hand, if I don't we going to do whatever we can to help them get through no matter what weather we go to lower the standards whether we go to affect everybody else around whether we go to give repeated retesting. Whether we go to provide all the audiences for older students before they take the test whether we go to reduce essay writing down to these infernal one-word answers that never stretch the imagination. Whether we remove our students from the validity of writing essays in law and memorizing and starting so that they rarely come to grips with Rob's infection. All you we can talk about our education system. It's good but I'm going to tell you the divine is being mixed with clay folks is nothing we can do about this and I pray you have trust in Jesus know him as your Lord if you got questions about what it really means no my own personal testimony of many, many inside the church knowing about Jesus, but I didn't know in person realize that at that point my life I met Jesus. If I have lost my life not made as I had just ahead. Thank you. The sense of confidence in such a like to talk give us a call 866899 phone number that's 866899967.
