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
CLOSING
THERE WILL BE NO EXCEPTION WITHOUT RECEPTION OF THE
CONFESSION WITH YOUR MOUTH.
THERE WILL BE NO EXCEPTION WITHOUT RECEPTION OF THE
BELIEF IN YOUR HEART.
THERE WILL BE NO EXCEPTION WITHOUT RECEPTION OF THIS
GREAT TRUTH THAT GOD HAS RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD.
I HEARD IT SAID JUST THE OTHER DAY
IF I BE LIFTED UP I’LL DRAW ALL MAN UNTO ME
STORY
JOHN 3: 15-18, 33-36
(13) NO ONE HAS ASCENDED TO HEAVEN BUT HE WHO CAME
DOWN FROM HEAVEN, THAT IS, THE SON OF MAN WHO IS IN
HEAVEN.
(14) AND AS MOSES LIFTED UP THE SERPENT IN THE WILDERNESS,
EVEN SO MUST THE SON OF MAN BE LIFTED UP,
(15) THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH
BUT HAVE ETERNAL LIFE.
(16) FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY
BEGOTTEN SON, THAT WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM SHOULD NOT
PERISH BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE.
(17) FOR GOD DID NOT SEND HIS SON INTO THE WORLD TO
CONDEMN THE WORLD, BUT THAT THE WORLD THROUGH HIM
MIGHT BE SAVED
(18) HE WHO BELIEVES IN HIM IS NOT CONDEMNED; BUT HE WHO DOES NOT BELIEVE IS CONDEMNED ALREADY, BECAUSE HE HAS NOT BELIEVED IN THE NAME OF THE BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD.
(33) HE WHO HAS RECEIVED HIS TESTIMONY HAS CERTIFIED
THAT GOD IS TRUE.
(35) THE FATHER LOVES THE SON, AND HAS GIVEN ALL THINGS
INTO HIS HAND.
(36) HE WHO BELIEVES IN THE SON HAS EVERLASTING LIFE; AND
HE WHO DOES NOT BELIEVE THE SON SHALL NOT SEE LIFE, BUT
THE WRATH OF GOD ABIDES ON HIM.
WARNING
EVERYONE’S NOT COMING HOME
NOT EVERYONE WHO SAYS, LORD, LORD, SHALL ENTER INTO THE
KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.
BECAUSE HEAVEN IS A PREPARED PLACE FOR A PREPARED
PEOPLE.
I HEARD IT SAID JUST THE OTHER DAY
IN MY FATHERS HOUSE ARE MANY MANSIONS, IF IT WERE NOT
SO, I WOULD HAVE TOLD YOU. I GO TO PREPARE A PLACE FOR
YOU.
AND IF I GO AND PREPARE A PLACE FOR YOU, I WILL COME
AGAIN AND RECEIVE YOU TO MYSELF; THAT WHERE I AM ,THERE
YOU MAYBE ALNO. AND WHERE I GO YOU KNOW, AND THE WAY
YOU KNOW.
NOT EVERYONE WHO SAYS LORD, LORD, SHALL ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN, BUT HE WHO DOES THE WILL OF MY FATHER IN HEAVEN.
EVERYONE’S NOT COMING HOME
COPING WITH THE FAMILY
PRAYER
I ASKED GOD FOR STRENGTH THAT I MIGHT ACHIEVE,
I WAS MADE WEAK, THAT I MIGHT LEARN HUMBLY TO
OBEY.
I ASKED FOR HEALTH,THAT I MIGHT DO GREATER THINGS,
I WAS GIVEN INFIRMITY THAT I MIGHT DO BETTER
THINGS.
I ASKED FOR RICHES, THAT I MIGHT BE HAPPY.
I WAS GIVEN POVERTY, THAT I MIGHT BE WISE
I ASKED FOR POWER, THAT I MIGHT HAVE THE PRAISE OF
MEN,
I WAS GIVEN WEAKNESS, THAT I MIGHT FEEL THE NEED
OF GOD.
I ASKED FOR ALL THINGS, THAT I MIGHT ENJOY LIFE,
I WAS GIVEN LIFE, THAT I MIGHT ENJOY ALL THINGS.
I GOT NOTHING THAT I ASKED FOR-BUT EVERYTHING I
HAD HOPED FOR ALMOST DESPITE MYSELF,
MY UNSPOKEN PRAYERS WERE ANSWERED.
I AM AMONG ALL MEN, MOST RICHLY BLESSED
