Scripture reading: John 1:9

We thank God for bringing us to a table again where we can really feast upon His Word. It is not everybody who can feast upon God’s Word. Some people are so sick spiritually, that no matter how loud God shouts to them, they will not hear. But blessed are they that can hear, that have ears to hear. Jesus said, “Let him hear.” Thank you, Jesus. We are very, very happy to be in a position like this, with appetites for the Word of God and ability to hear. Hallelujah. In this last day, the difference between those who perish and those who overcome will be the ears, spiritual ears, whether you can hear God or not.

I have been praying to God and asking him about what is going to happen to all these Muslims, all these Hindus, all these people who believe in false doctrines. The Lord asked me, “What is going to happen to all those Christians who believe in false doctrines?” The same thing that is going to happen to the false doctrine Muslim is going to happen to the false doctrine Christians.

Now you may ask, “What is going to happen?” God is going to reach out with His mercy to them. Oh yes! God will reach His mercy out to them. God’s mercy will be offered to them just like He is offering it to the Muslim. If God offered the false doctrine Christian mercy, and didn’t offer the false doctrine Muslim mercy, God would be partial. Amen.

The scriptures tell us that if any man desires to know anything of God, God will teach him. The scriptures tell us that, “That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world” (John 1:9). So, the moment you are born, whether you are a Muslim, or whether you are a Hindu, or whatever you are, God’s light is promised to light you. And do you know something? God said that, “…this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil” (John 3:19). That means that when Jesus Christ died on Calvary, He died for every Muslim, He died for every Hindu, He died for every no doctrinal person, in other words, agnostics. He died for them all. Amen.

Now, the point is that none of those can go to hell unless they reject Jesus, but none of those can reject Jesus unless they know Him. How are you going to reject Jesus if you never heard of Him? In other words, God must reveal Himself to every human being who is born on the face of the earth.  Many people who we think are going to hell will make heaven, and many of those who we think are riding high to go to heaven are going to make hell. Do you know why? Because they have rejected Jesus in the fact that they knew Him, but didn’t want Him. They would not let Him reign over them, they wanted something else, and they chose a false doctrine because they didn’t want Jesus. Amen.

Thought for today: In this last day, the difference between those who perish and those who overcome will be the ears, spiritual ears, whether you can hear God or not.
