Everyone’s Not Going To Heaven

EVERYONE’S NOT COMING HOME

MATTHEW 7: 21 - 22

21) NOT EVERYONE WHO SAYS TO ME, LORD, LORD, SHALL

ENTER THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN, BUT HE WHO DOES THE WILL

OF MY FATHER IN HEAVEN.

22) MANY WILL SAY TO ME IN THAT DAY, LORD, LORD, HAVE WE

NOT PROPHESIED IN YOUR NAME, CAST OUT DEMONS IN YOUR

NAME, AND DONE MANY WONDERS IN YOUR NAME?

OPENING

TEXT 7: 21-22

SUBJECT

EVERYONE’S NOT COMING HOME

LUKE 6:46 BUT WHY DO YOU CALL ME LORD, LORD AND DO NOT

DO THE THINGS WHICHNI SAY?

MATTHEW 7:22 MANY WILL SAY TO ME IN THAT DAY, LORD LORD

HAVE WE NOT PROPHESIED IN YOUR NAME, CAST OUT DEMONS

IN YOUR NAME, AND DONE MANY WONDERS IN YOUR NAME?

I BELIEVE THAT:

WE MUST CONSIDER OUR CONDUCT HERE ON EARTH.

WE MUST MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICES HERE ON EARTH.

I BELIEVE THAT WE MUST HAVE CHRIST CENTRAL IN OUR LIVES

THAT WE MAY LIVE - TO - LIVE AGAIN

THAT LIFE THAT MOST CHRISTIANS WILL SEE - THAT LIFE EVERLASTING-

THAT LIFE WHERE THEY WILL NEVER STOP LIVING.

THAT LIFE THAT WILL AFFORD YOU AN ESTATE WITH MANY

MANSIONS,GOLD PAVED ROADS AND PEARLY GATES.

A PLACE WHERE GOD WILL WIPE AWAY EVERY TEAR FROM

YOUR EYES

A PLACE WHERE THERE IS NO MORE SORROW

A PLACE WHERE THERE IS NO MORE CRYING

A PLACE WHERE THERE IS NO MORE PAIN

A PLACE WHERE THE FORMER THINGS HAVE PASSED AWAY

BUT

EVREYONE’S NOT COMING HOME

I HEARD IT SAID JUST THE OTHER DAY IN MATTHEW 7:13-14

(13) ENTER BY THE NARROW GATE, FOR WIDE IS THE GATE AND

BROAD IS THE WAY THAT LEADS TO DESTRUCTION, AND THERE BE MANY WHO GO IN BY IT.

(14) BECAUSE NARROW IS THE GATE AND DIFFICULT IS THE WAY WHICH LEADS TO LIFE, AND THERE ARE FEW THAT FIND IT

HERE WE TEASTIFY OF THE FUNNEL THEORY:

IN THE SENSE THAT IF YOU ENTER THE FUNNEL AT THE BROAD

END IT KEEPS NARROWING DOWN UNTIL YOU COME TO DEATH,

DESTRUCTION AND HELL.

BUT YOU ENTER THE FUNNEL AT THE NARROW END. THAT’S

WHERE CHRIST IS AND THE LONGER YOU WALK WITH JESUS THE

WIDER IT GETS. JESUS IS THE WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE

HOME DEFININED IN MY AMERICAN HERITAGE DICTIONARY IS DEFINED AS:

(1) A PLACE WHERE ONE LIVES

(2) WHERE ONES NATIVE LAND IS

(3) THE DISTRICT WHERE ONE WAS BORN OR WHERE ONE HAS LIVED FOR A LONG TIME.

I BELIEVE THIS HOME CALLED THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN WAS

INTENDED FOR US ALL TO DWELL.

GOD BEING THE FATHER OF THE JUST AS WELL AS THE UNJUST

INTENDED FOR US ALL TO DWELL IN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.

BUT NOT EVRYONE WHO SAYS LORD, LORD, SHALL ENTER THE

KINGDOM OF HEAVEN,

EVERYONE’S NOT COMING HOME

BECAUSE HEAVEN IS A PREPARED PLACE FOR A PREPARED

PEOPLE.

I BELIEVE:

(1) IF YOU LIVE TO TREAT YOUR NEIGHBOR RIGHT.

(2) IF YOU SHALL DO THE WILL OF GOD

(3) IF YOU KEEP GOD’S COMMANDMENTS AND ABIDE IN HIS LOVE

GOD WILL GIVE YOU A PEEK ON THE INSIDE AND LET YOU SEE

HEAVEN. JUST AS HE DID FOR THE APOSTLE JOHN

EXILED ON THE ISLE OF PATMOS.

EVERYONES NOT COMING HOME

(21) NOT EVERYONE WHO SAYS LORD, LORD, SHALL ENTER THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN, BUT HE WHO DOES THE WILL OF MY

FATHER IN HEAVEN.

IF IT BE YOUR GOOD PLEASURE THAT YOU RUN AROUND AND

MOUTH OFF ABOUT LIVING THE GOLDEN RULE, ONE QUESTION I

ASK IS: ARE YOU DOING THE WILL OF THE FATHER IN HEAVEN.

IF YOU ARE YOU WILL HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO MAKE THE

AQUAINTANCE OF CHRIST, FURTHERMORE RECOGNIZE THAT

YOU NEED A SAVIOR.

(22) MANY WILL SAY TO ME LORD, LORD, HAVE WE NOT

PROPHESIED IN YOUR NAME, CAST OUT DEMONS IN YOUR NAME,

AND DONE WONDERS IN YOUR NAME.

I BELIEVE THERE IS A NEEDED WARNING HERE FOR OUR

PROFESSING CHURCH MEMBERS - IN FACT - FOR ALL BELIEVERS.

PEOPLE TALK WITH ENTHUSIASM ABOUT CERTAIN SO CALLED

MIRACLES.

IN THE NAME OF JESUS:

(1) YOU HAVE WITTNESSED ONE PROPHESYING

(2) YOU HAVE WITTNESSED DEMONS BEING CAST OUT

(3) YOU HAVE WITTNESSED GREAT WONDERS

IN THE NAME OF JESUS:

(1) YOU HAVE PROPHESIED

(2) YOU HAVE CAST OUT DEMONS

(3) YOU HAVE DONE MANY WONDERS

BUT

GOD HAS DECLARED

NOT EVERYONE WHO SAYS TO ME LORD, LORD, SHALL ENTER

THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.

I AM FULLY PERSUADED THAT THERE IS A LIFE AFTER THIS LIFE AND A HEAVEN FAR BETTER THAN THIS EARTH.

I AM FULLY PERSUADED TO BELIEVE THAT THERE WILL BE

LOVED ONES WE WILL MEET IN HEAVEN.

I AM FULLY PERSUADED THAT THE DAYS OF HURT HARM AND

DANGER WILL CEASE.

I AM FULLY PERSUADED EVERYONE’S NOT COMING HOME
