🔥 Holiness, Revival & Readiness

 📝 Sunday Service w/ Pastor Jose

Summary

Spiritual Season and Divine Direction

• The Holy Spirit revealed to the speaker that many congregants are entering a season of turmoil due to disobedience to God's direct commands

• God expects people to honor Him with everything He provides, including jobs, children, homes, and possessions
• Believers must maintain holy atmospheres in their personal spaces and avoid compromising their faith through entertainment choices or associations

Holiness and Separation from Worldly Culture

• Christians are called to be set apart and lead by example in their dress, behavior, and lifestyle choices

• The church must reject compromise and maintain standards that reflect God's holiness rather than conforming to secular culture
• Believers should create welcoming atmospheres for God's presence in their homes and personal spaces

False Prophecy and Media Responsibility

• A false prophet in Africa incorrectly predicted the rapture would occur on September 23-24, 2025, leading to tragic consequences including suicides and people selling their possessions

• The CUBE 99.7 radio station made inappropriate jokes about this situation, which the speaker found deeply offensive given the mental health crisis and deaths that resulted
• The speaker plans to meet with the radio station on Monday to address their disrespectful response to the tragedy

Apostolic Calling and Ministry Accountability

• Rabbi Deodor confirmed that the speaker operates as an apostle trapped in a pastor's body, explaining why average Christians may not understand his direct approach

• Apostles are called to stir things up in their regions and address issues without compromise, similar to how generals or supervisors bring necessary change
• The speaker's accountability partners reviewed and confirmed the righteousness of his previous week's strong message

Revival and Positive Ministry Reports

• The assassination of Charlie Kirk has sparked revival on college and university campuses across the nation

• Church attendance has increased significantly following this tragedy, demonstrating how God can bring good from difficult circumstances
• Comedian Tim Allen was inspired by Charlie Kirk's widow to forgive the drunk driver who killed his father 60 years ago, showing the continuing impact of faithful witness

Sexual Immorality and Cultural Corruption

• The Apostle Paul addressed the church in Corinth regarding sexual immorality that was infiltrating the church from the surrounding culture of prostitution and temple worship

• Modern society exhibits similar patterns of sexual corruption through social media, inappropriate dress, and narcissistic behavior
• The church must address these issues directly rather than compromising with cultural trends that promote lust and self-worship

Biblical Standards on Controversial Issues

• The church must take clear biblical stands on abortion, homosexuality, and other moral issues rather than playing politics or seeking to avoid offense

• Pregnancy is 100% preventable except in cases of rape or incest, and the church should advocate for adoption rather than abortion
• Christians should know their biblical positions and be prepared to articulate them clearly without compromise

Spiritual Maturity and Church Discipline

• Spiritually immature believers take offense at minor issues and fail to focus on important matters of faith and obedience

• The early church practiced spiritual gifts, healing, and mutual support as normal aspects of congregational life
• Modern churches often reduce worship to entertainment and motivational speaking rather than genuine spiritual transformation and conviction

End Times Signs and Urgency of Salvation

• Artificial intelligence advancement represents the system that will enable the Antichrist's future reign through digital currency and the mark of the beast

• Society's increasing perversion mirrors the days of Noah and Sodom and Gomorrah, indicating the nearness of Christ's return
• People must repent immediately rather than delaying, as tomorrow is not guaranteed and the opportunity for salvation has an expiration date

Putting Sin to Death and Obedience

• Colossians 3 commands believers to put to death earthly desires including fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desires, and covetousness

• God's wrath comes upon children of disobedience who continue in sin despite knowing better
• Believers must celebrate others' successes rather than harboring jealousy or evil desires toward fellow Christians

Next Steps

• The speaker will meet with CUBE 99.7 radio station on Monday to address their inappropriate response to the false prophecy tragedy

• Congregants are expected to examine their hearts and attitudes to align with biblical standards of holiness
• The church will continue teaching on spiritual maturity and biblical positions on controversial cultural issues
