00:00:00.930 --> 00:00:03.420
This program is made
possible by the giving
2
00:00:03.420 --> 00:00:07.410
of the God called partners
of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:07.410 --> 00:00:08.760
Welcome to today's program.
4
00:00:08.760 --> 00:00:11.580
My name is Rick Renner, and
this week I'm teaching a brand
5
00:00:11.580 --> 00:00:16.230
new series called, The Tragic
Mistake of Moral Surrender.
6
00:00:16.230 --> 00:00:18.450
The subtitle says, God's Promise to people
7
00:00:18.450 --> 00:00:23.250
who help Wandering Saints Get Back on Track: comes in
8
00:00:23.250 --> 00:00:26.340
5-parts and it comes with a study guide that is just loaded
9
00:00:26.340 --> 00:00:27.780
with all the points
10
00:00:27.780 --> 00:00:29.580
and the principles, all the words
11
00:00:29.580 --> 00:00:30.720
that I cover in this series.
12
00:00:30.720 --> 00:00:31.950
It's all in the study guide so
13
00:00:31.950 --> 00:00:35.400
that you can read it while you
hear it or while you see it.
14
00:00:35.400 --> 00:00:37.740
I know this series will
really strengthen you
15
00:00:37.740 --> 00:00:40.680
and I'd like to know what
you think about this series.
16
00:00:40.680 --> 00:00:43.620
And we're also offering
you right now my book,
17
00:00:43.620 --> 00:00:46.140
which is called, Last Day's Survival Guide.
18
00:00:46.140 --> 00:00:49.110
When you come to 2 Timothy 3,
19
00:00:49.110 --> 00:00:51.690
the Apostle Paul, writing under the unction
20
00:00:51.690 --> 00:00:54.240
of the Holy Spirit begins to forecast
21
00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:57.930
what society will be like at the very end
22
00:00:57.930 --> 00:00:59.430
of the age.
23
00:00:59.430 --> 00:01:03.000
And he says It will be perilous times.
24
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:05.490
I cover all of that in this book,
25
00:01:05.490 --> 00:01:08.370
but God never is in the business of scaring us,
26
00:01:08.370 --> 00:01:10.860
but he is in the business of preparing us.
27
00:01:10.860 --> 00:01:13.860
And God didn't give us these
prophetic verses to scare us,
28
00:01:13.860 --> 00:01:15.660
but to prepare us
29
00:01:15.660 --> 00:01:19.470
because we're living in the end of the age - tag, we're it.
30
00:01:19.470 --> 00:01:21.720
So we need to know how to deal with it
31
00:01:21.720 --> 00:01:24.600
and how to float on these waters of destruction that seem
32
00:01:24.600 --> 00:01:25.920
to be surrounding us.
33
00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:28.050
How can we do that?
34
00:01:28.050 --> 00:01:31.260
That's why I wrote this book - Last Days Survival Guide
35
00:01:31.260 --> 00:01:34.320
and I know that it will
be a blessing to you.
36
00:01:34.320 --> 00:01:38.490
And the subtitle says, A Scriptural Handbook to prepare you
37
00:01:38.490 --> 00:01:41.430
for these Perilous Times.
38
00:01:41.430 --> 00:01:43.440
And my friend, if you feel that you're dealing
39
00:01:43.440 --> 00:01:45.030
with peril in your own life
40
00:01:45.030 --> 00:01:49.080
or you're so heartbroken what's happening in relationships
41
00:01:49.080 --> 00:01:50.850
with people that you used to be close to
42
00:01:50.850 --> 00:01:52.710
and you need somebody to pray with you,
43
00:01:52.710 --> 00:01:54.180
please reach out to us:
44
00:01:54.180 --> 00:01:56.790
we understand. We'll pray with you,
45
00:01:56.790 --> 00:01:58.140
we'll believe God to bring
46
00:01:58.140 --> 00:02:00.240
that person back to where they need to be.
47
00:02:00.240 --> 00:02:01.770
God can do it,
48
00:02:01.770 --> 00:02:05.490
and we would love to
release our faith with you.
49
00:02:05.490 --> 00:02:07.290
And remember that when
you become a partner
50
00:02:07.290 --> 00:02:10.410
with our ministry, we're
going to send you two books
51
00:02:10.410 --> 00:02:12.810
as our way of saying - Welcome
to the Partner Family.
52
00:02:12.810 --> 00:02:15.210
We're going to send you my
book called Life in the Combat
53
00:02:15.210 --> 00:02:19.170
Zone and Denise's book called
The Gift of Forgiveness.
54
00:02:19.170 --> 00:02:21.780
But hey, I'll be back in just a moment.
55
00:02:21.780 --> 00:02:24.990
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit
56
00:02:24.990 --> 00:02:29.160
and your mind: where the word
is the anchor in uncertain
57
00:02:29.160 --> 00:02:33.810
times and doctrine
doesn't bend to culture.
58
00:02:33.810 --> 00:02:35.250
We keep it simple,
59
00:02:35.250 --> 00:02:39.810
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
60
00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:42.600
a love that emboldens
61
00:02:43.710 --> 00:02:45.870
and a mission that touches the world.
62
00:02:48.210 --> 00:02:49.740
Let's join Rick Renner.
63
00:02:51.870 --> 00:02:54.270
This series is called, The Tragic Mistake
64
00:02:54.270 --> 00:02:56.070
of Moral Surrender,
65
00:02:56.070 --> 00:02:58.620
but today we're going to
look at moral surrender
66
00:02:58.620 --> 00:03:01.240
for the sake of - are you ready -
67
00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:03.850
opportunity. And we're going to look at the story
68
00:03:03.850 --> 00:03:05.710
of Lot in the Old Testament.
69
00:03:05.710 --> 00:03:07.720
So read for your Bible
70
00:03:07.720 --> 00:03:10.330
and I want to give you a
little history about Lot.
71
00:03:10.330 --> 00:03:14.440
Lot had a great beginning. When Abram
72
00:03:14.440 --> 00:03:17.290
and Sarah began their walk of
faith guest who was with them,
73
00:03:17.290 --> 00:03:20.290
Lot was with them.
74
00:03:20.290 --> 00:03:22.750
When Abraham announced
his conversion to God
75
00:03:22.750 --> 00:03:25.480
after God had spoken
to him, Lot was there.
76
00:03:25.480 --> 00:03:29.050
He heard about his uncle's conversion.
77
00:03:29.050 --> 00:03:30.970
When Abraham and Sarah left Haran
78
00:03:30.970 --> 00:03:33.670
and begin to follow God into
the land of Canaan, guess
79
00:03:33.670 --> 00:03:34.900
who was with them?
80
00:03:34.900 --> 00:03:37.660
Lot was with them.
81
00:03:37.660 --> 00:03:39.940
When Abraham entered
into the land of Canaan
82
00:03:39.940 --> 00:03:44.110
and saw all the giants that
were there who was with him,
83
00:03:44.110 --> 00:03:45.670
Lot was with him.
84
00:03:45.670 --> 00:03:49.660
When Abraham decided to build
an altar to dedicate himself
85
00:03:49.660 --> 00:03:52.840
to God, who do you suppose
helped him collect the
86
00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:55.090
stones to build the altar?
87
00:03:55.090 --> 00:03:58.750
Lot, Lot was there with him. When Abraham
88
00:03:58.750 --> 00:04:00.640
and Sarah went into the land of Egypt,
89
00:04:00.640 --> 00:04:03.280
Lot was with him and he saw God's blessing
90
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:05.200
and protection upon Abraham
91
00:04:05.200 --> 00:04:07.570
and how God blessed him materially,
92
00:04:07.570 --> 00:04:09.520
and God made sure everything was fine
93
00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:10.900
with Abraham and Sarah.
94
00:04:10.900 --> 00:04:14.740
Lot was there observing the hand of God
95
00:04:14.740 --> 00:04:16.150
working in his family.
96
00:04:16.150 --> 00:04:19.810
It is amazing. In a certain way, you could say that Abraham
97
00:04:19.810 --> 00:04:23.260
and Lot had a parallel walk of faith.
98
00:04:23.260 --> 00:04:25.540
Abraham was definitely the leader,
99
00:04:25.540 --> 00:04:29.260
but walking in his steps with him was Lot
100
00:04:29.260 --> 00:04:31.990
every step along the way.
101
00:04:31.990 --> 00:04:35.680
But then something happened.
102
00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:38.620
Abraham became so blessed with animals
103
00:04:38.620 --> 00:04:41.320
that there was not enough room for Abraham
104
00:04:41.320 --> 00:04:44.740
and all of his servants and
all of his animals and Lot
105
00:04:44.740 --> 00:04:46.720
and all of his servants
and all of his animals
106
00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:48.670
to live in the same place.
107
00:04:48.670 --> 00:04:53.230
So to avoid strife, Abraham offered Lot the first choice of
108
00:04:53.230 --> 00:04:55.090
where he wanted to live,
109
00:04:55.090 --> 00:04:58.390
and this is where Lot's mistake
110
00:04:58.390 --> 00:05:01.360
of moral surrender began.
111
00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:05.560
The Bible tells us in Genesis 13:10,
112
00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:09.340
Lot then lifted up his eyes
113
00:05:09.340 --> 00:05:11.800
and beheld all the plane of the Jordan
114
00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:14.350
that it was well watered
everywhere where the Lord
115
00:05:14.350 --> 00:05:15.880
before the Lord destroyed Sodom
116
00:05:15.880 --> 00:05:19.630
and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the Lord, like the land
117
00:05:19.630 --> 00:05:22.510
of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar.
118
00:05:22.510 --> 00:05:24.370
And in verse 11, the Bible says,
119
00:05:24.370 --> 00:05:27.730
then Lot chose all the plane of the Jordan
120
00:05:27.730 --> 00:05:29.500
and journeyed east,
121
00:05:29.500 --> 00:05:34.360
and they separated one from the other. Lot immediately began
122
00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:38.470
to make bad decisions and it caused a separation between him
123
00:05:38.470 --> 00:05:40.270
and his spiritual father.
124
00:05:40.270 --> 00:05:43.030
Abraham stayed in the land of Canaan.
125
00:05:43.030 --> 00:05:46.390
I say that Abraham camped
in the promise of God,
126
00:05:46.390 --> 00:05:48.520
but a Lot began to lift up his eyes
127
00:05:48.520 --> 00:05:52.990
and look to opportunity which
was in Sodom and Gomorrah.
128
00:05:52.990 --> 00:05:56.590
That is amazing. From Lots vantage point,
129
00:05:56.590 --> 00:05:59.840
he could see the beautiful
Jordan Valley in front of him
130
00:05:59.840 --> 00:06:01.490
and he beheld it.
131
00:06:01.490 --> 00:06:04.220
The word beheld means to be mesmerized.
132
00:06:04.220 --> 00:06:06.260
He was mesmerized by it.
133
00:06:06.260 --> 00:06:09.350
And in many ways that area was very similar
134
00:06:09.350 --> 00:06:12.740
to Ur of the Chaldees which they had left;
135
00:06:12.740 --> 00:06:15.560
and his heartstrings were tugged to go back to
136
00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:18.500
what he had been delivered from.
137
00:06:18.500 --> 00:06:21.590
And the Bible tells us in Genesis 13:12,
138
00:06:21.590 --> 00:06:25.880
he pitched his tent toward Sodom.
139
00:06:25.880 --> 00:06:29.750
He was not ignorant
about Sodom or Gomorrah.
140
00:06:29.750 --> 00:06:31.340
It was very well known
141
00:06:31.340 --> 00:06:34.490
that the men there were exceedingly wicked
142
00:06:34.490 --> 00:06:36.230
before the presence of the Lord.
143
00:06:36.230 --> 00:06:37.730
But Sodom and Gomorrah
144
00:06:37.730 --> 00:06:39.920
and the other cities that
were there were affluent
145
00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:43.040
and extremely prosperous.
146
00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:45.710
And the idea of going there was the idea
147
00:06:45.710 --> 00:06:48.440
of great financial opportunity.
148
00:06:48.440 --> 00:06:53.120
But listen to this: Moses in Deuteronomy 29:23 said,
149
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:55.345
Sodom and Gomorrah was so horrible that when
150
00:06:55.345 --> 00:06:56.261
God destroyed it,
151
00:06:56.261 --> 00:06:57.650
nothing would grow there.
152
00:06:57.650 --> 00:06:59.150
Isaiah mentioned Sodom
153
00:06:59.150 --> 00:07:02.210
and Gomorrah several times in Isaiah 3:9.
154
00:07:02.210 --> 00:07:06.230
He specifically cited that
their sin was shameless
155
00:07:06.230 --> 00:07:10.670
and out in the open. Jeremiah, in Jeremiah 23:14 said
156
00:07:10.670 --> 00:07:15.170
that Sodom and Gomorrah was
filled with adultery and lies.
157
00:07:15.170 --> 00:07:19.220
Ezekiel, in Ezekiel 16:49 said that Sodom
158
00:07:19.220 --> 00:07:21.320
and Gomorrah was filled with pride.
159
00:07:21.320 --> 00:07:24.980
Amos in Amos 4:1-12 wrote - that other cities
160
00:07:24.980 --> 00:07:28.640
if they did not repent, would
be judged just like the cities
161
00:07:28.640 --> 00:07:29.990
of Sodom and Gomorrah.
162
00:07:29.990 --> 00:07:33.110
And even Jesus spoke about Sodom
163
00:07:33.110 --> 00:07:35.540
and Gomorrah on several occasions.
164
00:07:35.540 --> 00:07:39.170
Jesus tells us in Luke 17:28-29,
165
00:07:39.170 --> 00:07:42.170
that Sodom was affluent and prosperous.
166
00:07:42.170 --> 00:07:44.570
He said, the people there,
they ate, they drank,
167
00:07:44.570 --> 00:07:46.460
they bought, they sold, they planted.
168
00:07:46.460 --> 00:07:48.110
They built their lives the way
169
00:07:48.110 --> 00:07:49.820
that they wanted to build them.
170
00:07:49.820 --> 00:07:53.900
And Peter said in 2 Peter 2:4
171
00:07:53.900 --> 00:07:57.500
11, that God destroyed the cities completely
172
00:07:57.500 --> 00:08:00.170
because of the lasciviousness
of those cities.
173
00:08:00.170 --> 00:08:04.490
And Jude in Jude verse 7 says, the people of Sodom went
174
00:08:04.490 --> 00:08:09.490
after strange flesh, which
is his description of
175
00:08:09.620 --> 00:08:10.880
sexual perversion.
176
00:08:10.880 --> 00:08:15.880
And John, in Revelation 11:7-8, describes Sodom
177
00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:21.040
as the symbol of sin and all kinds of defilement.
178
00:08:21.200 --> 00:08:22.520
The cities of Sodom
179
00:08:22.520 --> 00:08:26.750
and Gomorrah were so horrible
that God overthrew them
180
00:08:26.750 --> 00:08:28.250
in the plains.
181
00:08:28.250 --> 00:08:32.750
So what in the world was a
man like Lot who had walked
182
00:08:32.750 --> 00:08:37.220
with his father of faith,
Abraham, he knew God,
183
00:08:37.220 --> 00:08:38.420
he knew how to walk with God.
184
00:08:38.420 --> 00:08:42.770
What in the world was he doing moving toward Sodom
185
00:08:42.770 --> 00:08:46.190
Gomorrah. The answer is - he was mesmerized
186
00:08:46.190 --> 00:08:48.410
by the opportunity there.
187
00:08:48.410 --> 00:08:52.820
Sodom was wealthy, Sodom
was luxurious, it was loaded
188
00:08:52.820 --> 00:08:56.190
with affluence and a Lot
of business opportunities
189
00:08:56.190 --> 00:09:00.000
and a Lot had been walking
the hard road of faith
190
00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:02.490
with his uncle Abraham for a long time.
191
00:09:02.490 --> 00:09:06.990
And the idea of going somewhere that was a little easier
192
00:09:06.990 --> 00:09:09.540
was very alluring to his flesh.
193
00:09:09.540 --> 00:09:10.710
And initially Lot lived
194
00:09:10.710 --> 00:09:13.230
outside the cities in the plain of Jordan.
195
00:09:13.230 --> 00:09:16.350
But the Bible says he pitched his tent towards
196
00:09:16.350 --> 00:09:17.820
Sodom and Gomorrah.
197
00:09:17.820 --> 00:09:20.280
He would set under the flap of his tent,
198
00:09:20.280 --> 00:09:22.500
he could see the lights of the city,
199
00:09:22.500 --> 00:09:24.600
he could hear the sounds of the city,
200
00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:27.300
he could smell the smells of the city
201
00:09:27.300 --> 00:09:31.140
and like a magnet attracts metal,
202
00:09:31.140 --> 00:09:33.210
those cities begin to speak to his flesh
203
00:09:33.210 --> 00:09:37.470
and allure him, tantalizing
him to move closer and closer
204
00:09:37.470 --> 00:09:38.700
and closer and closer
205
00:09:38.700 --> 00:09:41.310
until finally he found
himself living right in the
206
00:09:41.310 --> 00:09:43.650
middle of Sodom.
207
00:09:43.650 --> 00:09:47.310
And the Bible tells us in Genesis 13:13, the men
208
00:09:47.310 --> 00:09:50.850
of Sodom were wicked and sinners
209
00:09:50.850 --> 00:09:53.640
before the Lord exceedingly.
210
00:09:53.640 --> 00:09:57.030
But Lord coaxed himself into believing
211
00:09:57.030 --> 00:10:00.240
because of the opportunities
that were there,
212
00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:03.000
it was all right for him to move there.
213
00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:07.260
This was the tragic mistake of moral surrender.
214
00:10:07.260 --> 00:10:11.460
He surrendered morally for
the sake of opportunity.
215
00:10:13.020 --> 00:10:14.760
The cry of Sodom and Gomorrah,
216
00:10:14.760 --> 00:10:16.830
the sin in those cities was so horrible
217
00:10:16.830 --> 00:10:19.350
that God himself could hear the cry
218
00:10:19.350 --> 00:10:21.630
of their sin all the way in heaven.
219
00:10:21.630 --> 00:10:24.960
And we read about this beginning in Genesis 18:1,
220
00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:29.010
where the Bible says the Lord appeared into Abraham
221
00:10:29.010 --> 00:10:30.600
in the plains of Mamre
222
00:10:30.600 --> 00:10:33.000
and he sat in the tent
door in the heat of the day;
223
00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:35.160
and it goes on to say Abraham looked
224
00:10:35.160 --> 00:10:38.580
and low three men stood by him:
225
00:10:38.580 --> 00:10:41.160
and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door
226
00:10:41.160 --> 00:10:42.870
and bowed himself toward the ground.
227
00:10:42.870 --> 00:10:45.030
And we know from the text that 2
228
00:10:45.030 --> 00:10:47.460
of these men were in fact angels
229
00:10:47.460 --> 00:10:49.590
and one of them was the Lord.
230
00:10:49.590 --> 00:10:53.580
Abraham prepared and served
them a scrumptious meal.
231
00:10:53.580 --> 00:10:57.210
And then when you read Genesis 18:6-7,
232
00:10:57.210 --> 00:11:00.840
the Bible says the men - that is the 2 angels
233
00:11:00.840 --> 00:11:04.440
rose up from thence and looked toward Sodom.
234
00:11:04.440 --> 00:11:06.510
And Abraham went with him
to bring them on the way.
235
00:11:06.510 --> 00:11:10.320
And the Lord said, shall I
hide from Abraham that thing
236
00:11:10.320 --> 00:11:11.850
that I'm going to do?
237
00:11:12.750 --> 00:11:17.460
Wow. The angels were about
to be dispatched into Sodom
238
00:11:17.460 --> 00:11:21.270
and into Gomorrah to see if the decadent cry
239
00:11:21.270 --> 00:11:24.000
that God had heard in heaven
was really all together
240
00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:25.800
according to the cry of it.
241
00:11:25.800 --> 00:11:26.910
And we find in scripture
242
00:11:26.910 --> 00:11:31.020
that there are two things
God can actually hear.
243
00:11:31.020 --> 00:11:32.910
There are two things he can hear.
244
00:11:32.910 --> 00:11:37.910
No.1: God can hear the cry of his people.
245
00:11:38.040 --> 00:11:41.790
In Psalm 34:15, the Bible says, The eyes
246
00:11:41.790 --> 00:11:43.410
of the Lord are upon the righteous
247
00:11:43.410 --> 00:11:47.370
and his ears are open unto their cry.
248
00:11:47.370 --> 00:11:52.260
When God's people cry out, God
comes down to deliver them.
249
00:11:52.260 --> 00:11:56.200
But the 2nd thing that God can hear is the cry
250
00:11:56.200 --> 00:11:57.370
of sin.
251
00:11:57.370 --> 00:12:01.210
And the more grievous the
sin, the louder the cry.
252
00:12:01.210 --> 00:12:03.580
God can hear it even more clearly.
253
00:12:03.580 --> 00:12:07.180
And when we come to Genesis 18:20-22,
254
00:12:07.180 --> 00:12:11.260
the Lord said, because the cry of Sodom
255
00:12:11.260 --> 00:12:12.670
and Gomorrah is great and
256
00:12:12.670 --> 00:12:15.610
because their sin is very grievous, I will go down now
257
00:12:15.610 --> 00:12:18.370
and see whether they've done altogether according to the cry
258
00:12:18.370 --> 00:12:20.530
of it, which has come unto me.
259
00:12:20.530 --> 00:12:22.480
And if not, I'll know it.
260
00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:25.600
And the men - that is the 2 angels -
261
00:12:25.600 --> 00:12:29.320
turned their faces from
fence and went toward Sodom.
262
00:12:29.320 --> 00:12:32.290
They were being dispatched
into the city of Sodom
263
00:12:32.290 --> 00:12:33.400
to investigate
264
00:12:33.400 --> 00:12:37.300
and see if the sin was as
decadent as it sounded.
265
00:12:37.300 --> 00:12:40.510
But the Bible says, Abraham stood yet
266
00:12:40.510 --> 00:12:42.700
before the Lord.
267
00:12:42.700 --> 00:12:44.710
I have an entire series
that I want you to order,
268
00:12:44.710 --> 00:12:46.000
which is called, How to Intercede
269
00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:47.890
for People Who Are in Trouble.
270
00:12:47.890 --> 00:12:50.620
You can order it on our website. My friends,
271
00:12:50.620 --> 00:12:53.530
when people are in trouble, it is time for us to stand
272
00:12:53.530 --> 00:12:55.330
before the Lord and draw near.
273
00:12:55.330 --> 00:12:57.190
And that is what Abraham did.
274
00:12:57.190 --> 00:12:59.590
He knew that when the
angels arrived in the cities
275
00:12:59.590 --> 00:13:02.110
and they saw the decadence and the sin
276
00:13:02.110 --> 00:13:05.230
and the perversion of the
city, they would destroy it.
277
00:13:06.160 --> 00:13:07.660
So rather than just wash his hand
278
00:13:07.660 --> 00:13:10.060
and say, well, there's nothing
I can do for my nephew,
279
00:13:10.060 --> 00:13:13.030
he drew near to the Lord
and stood near to the Lord
280
00:13:13.030 --> 00:13:16.780
and he began to intercede
on behalf of his family.
281
00:13:16.780 --> 00:13:20.320
He knew if he did not
intercede, his family
282
00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:23.860
who lived in Sodom was going
to be in serious trouble.
283
00:13:23.860 --> 00:13:26.830
But finally the angels arrived in Sodom.
284
00:13:26.830 --> 00:13:29.380
And we read about this in Genesis 19:1
285
00:13:29.380 --> 00:13:30.550
where the Bible says,
286
00:13:31.570 --> 00:13:35.080
And there came 2 angels to Sodom at evening.
287
00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:37.480
That was the two men that were dispatched;
288
00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:40.690
and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom.
289
00:13:40.690 --> 00:13:45.690
Now that is amazing. Lot was
sitting in the gate of Sodom.
290
00:13:45.760 --> 00:13:49.330
This shows us how far he had sunk morally.
291
00:13:49.330 --> 00:13:52.600
Those who sat in the gate
of the city were the leaders
292
00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:54.010
of the city.
293
00:13:54.010 --> 00:13:55.900
They were the business people.
294
00:13:55.900 --> 00:13:57.220
They were the public servants
295
00:13:57.220 --> 00:13:59.230
who carried out the necessary transactions
296
00:13:59.230 --> 00:14:01.563
to make sure the city was successful and
297
00:14:01.563 --> 00:14:03.096
to keep things moving.
298
00:14:03.096 --> 00:14:05.710
And since this is where Lot was,
299
00:14:05.710 --> 00:14:08.440
it means he was a leader in the city
300
00:14:08.440 --> 00:14:11.560
and he'd obviously become
one of Sodom leaders.
301
00:14:11.560 --> 00:14:15.100
And to some extent, he had
really become a sodomite.
302
00:14:15.100 --> 00:14:16.750
He had become one of them.
303
00:14:16.750 --> 00:14:19.750
I'm not saying that he
committed homosexuality,
304
00:14:19.750 --> 00:14:22.780
but he blended into the environment of the city to the point
305
00:14:22.780 --> 00:14:24.880
that he's sitting in the gate of the city as one
306
00:14:24.880 --> 00:14:26.920
of the leaders of the city.
307
00:14:26.920 --> 00:14:31.120
And Genesis 19:1-2 says, There came 2 angels
308
00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:34.720
to Sodom at evening and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom -
309
00:14:34.720 --> 00:14:36.195
that is remarkable -
310
00:14:36.195 --> 00:14:39.127
and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them.
311
00:14:39.127 --> 00:14:41.440
And he bowed himself with
his face toward the ground
312
00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:44.410 line:15%
and he said, behold now my lords, turn in
313
00:14:44.410 --> 00:14:46.180
I pray you into your servant's house
314
00:14:46.180 --> 00:14:50.020 line:15%
and erry all night. Notice those words, tarry all night
315
00:14:50.020 --> 00:14:52.610
and wash your feet and you'll rise up early
316
00:14:52.610 --> 00:14:54.380
and go on your way in the morning.
317
00:14:54.380 --> 00:14:56.690
And the angels answered and said, Nay,
318
00:14:56.690 --> 00:15:00.080
but we will abide in the street all night.
319
00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:03.830
They came to the city to see
what was happening there.
320
00:15:03.830 --> 00:15:05.870
They didn't come there to
stay all night with Lot,
321
00:15:05.870 --> 00:15:09.020
but Lot did not want them
to stay in the streets
322
00:15:09.020 --> 00:15:12.830
because Lot knew if they stayed in the streets all night,
323
00:15:12.830 --> 00:15:16.820
they were going to see a Lot
of evil things taking place.
324
00:15:16.820 --> 00:15:20.030
Sexual perversions of every
kind that you can imagine.
325
00:15:20.030 --> 00:15:22.820
And Lot knew that if the angels saw it,
326
00:15:22.820 --> 00:15:24.350
they would destroy the city.
327
00:15:24.350 --> 00:15:26.360
And he didn't want the
city to be destroyed
328
00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:28.340
because he loved the city of Sodom
329
00:15:28.340 --> 00:15:30.710
and he had become a Sodomite.
330
00:15:30.710 --> 00:15:31.940
It was his city.
331
00:15:31.940 --> 00:15:35.480
So he begged the angels,
please stay in my house.
332
00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:38.570
In fact, he was possibly
trying to protect the city
333
00:15:38.570 --> 00:15:41.600
by asking them to stay
all night in his house.
334
00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:44.180
That is amazing. But finally,
335
00:15:44.180 --> 00:15:47.450
the angels rejected Lot's invitation.
336
00:15:47.450 --> 00:15:51.590
And the Bible tells us in Genesis 19:3-5,
337
00:15:51.590 --> 00:15:54.140
Lot pressed upon them greatly - please,
338
00:15:54.140 --> 00:15:57.620
I'm begging you, stay in my house all night.
339
00:15:57.620 --> 00:16:00.500
And they turned in unto him for a brief time - you're going
340
00:16:00.500 --> 00:16:03.350
to find out - and entered into his house
341
00:16:03.350 --> 00:16:04.400
and he made them a feast
342
00:16:04.400 --> 00:16:07.220
and did bake unleavened
bread and they did eat.
343
00:16:07.220 --> 00:16:09.320
But before they lay down, now listen to this,
344
00:16:09.320 --> 00:16:13.460
before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men
345
00:16:13.460 --> 00:16:18.260
of Sodom compassed the house round about both
346
00:16:18.260 --> 00:16:23.210
old and young, all the people from every quarter
347
00:16:23.210 --> 00:16:25.190
and they called unto Lot
348
00:16:25.190 --> 00:16:28.730
and said unto him, where are the men
349
00:16:28.730 --> 00:16:30.590
that came in unto thee this night?
350
00:16:30.590 --> 00:16:34.370
Bring them out unto us
that we may know them.
351
00:16:34.370 --> 00:16:36.950
That word no means to sexually know.
352
00:16:36.950 --> 00:16:39.980
And here we find such
a disgusting picture.
353
00:16:39.980 --> 00:16:42.770
Men of all ages, old
354
00:16:42.770 --> 00:16:45.320
and young, from every sector
355
00:16:45.320 --> 00:16:47.600
of the city surrounded the house.
356
00:16:47.600 --> 00:16:51.410
And in a lustful rage, they demanded
357
00:16:51.410 --> 00:16:54.170
that the two visitors
be brought out to them
358
00:16:54.170 --> 00:16:58.070
so they could forcibly have sex with them.
359
00:16:58.070 --> 00:17:00.860
And this lets us know also
that sexual perversion was
360
00:17:02.240 --> 00:17:06.020
so pervasive in Sodom that
it wasn't just the old,
361
00:17:06.020 --> 00:17:08.330
it was also the young, every category,
362
00:17:08.330 --> 00:17:12.770
every age showed up saying
bring those men out to us.
363
00:17:12.770 --> 00:17:15.770
And the two angels who had
appeared in town were the talk
364
00:17:15.770 --> 00:17:18.950
of the town because here were two men
365
00:17:18.950 --> 00:17:22.220
that had never been sexually experienced;
366
00:17:22.220 --> 00:17:25.310
and with their lust burning out of control,
367
00:17:25.310 --> 00:17:29.450
the Sodomites intent was to take those new men
368
00:17:29.450 --> 00:17:33.020
and sexually know them or gang rape them.
369
00:17:33.020 --> 00:17:36.440
And knowing this, what happens next?
370
00:17:36.440 --> 00:17:38.600
The Bible tells us in Genesis 19:6
371
00:17:38.600 --> 00:17:41.000
and 7, Lot went out at the door unto them
372
00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:42.500
and shut the door after him
373
00:17:42.500 --> 00:17:47.500
and said, I pray you brethren, do not so wickedly.
374
00:17:47.510 --> 00:17:48.590
Now that is amazing to me
375
00:17:48.590 --> 00:17:52.440
because Lot looks into the
face of these disgusting,
376
00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:55.200
perverted, exceedingly wicked sinners
377
00:17:55.200 --> 00:17:58.350
and he calls them brethren.
378
00:17:58.350 --> 00:18:01.980
And I pray you brethren,
do not so wickedly.
379
00:18:01.980 --> 00:18:06.180
Keep in mind this is the same
Lot who once walked in faith
380
00:18:06.180 --> 00:18:07.800
with his uncle, Abraham.
381
00:18:07.800 --> 00:18:11.580
He had previously helped
build altars unto God
382
00:18:11.580 --> 00:18:14.250
that now his thinking
has become so reprobate,
383
00:18:14.250 --> 00:18:18.090
he's become so brainwashed
by living continuously in
384
00:18:18.090 --> 00:18:21.780
that environment that he
can look into the face
385
00:18:21.780 --> 00:18:25.410
of these individuals
and call them brethren.
386
00:18:25.410 --> 00:18:28.860
That's the kind of affinity
he had for the sodomites.
387
00:18:28.860 --> 00:18:31.980
He called them brethren, which tells us
388
00:18:31.980 --> 00:18:34.620
Lot had become completely compromised,
389
00:18:34.620 --> 00:18:37.110
compromised, in the way that he was thinking.
390
00:18:37.950 --> 00:18:41.340
And he said to the Sodomites in verse 8: Behold, now
391
00:18:42.750 --> 00:18:45.180
I have two daughters which have not known men.
392
00:18:45.180 --> 00:18:46.560
Well, that's an interesting statement.
393
00:18:46.560 --> 00:18:48.360
We'll come back to that in just a moment.
394
00:18:48.360 --> 00:18:50.760
Let me, I pray you bring them out unto you
395
00:18:50.760 --> 00:18:53.820
and do you to them as
is good in your sight,
396
00:18:53.820 --> 00:18:56.040
but only unto these men do nothing for
397
00:18:56.040 --> 00:18:59.010
therefore, they came under
the shadow of my roof.
398
00:18:59.010 --> 00:19:02.040
Lord was so seared and so
reprobate in his thinking
399
00:19:02.040 --> 00:19:05.010
he said, it's not good that you would rape these angels,
400
00:19:05.010 --> 00:19:07.290
but I do have two girls
that have never known men.
401
00:19:07.290 --> 00:19:10.140
You can have them and due
to them whatever you wish.
402
00:19:10.140 --> 00:19:13.050
Well of course there's nothing
right about that at all.
403
00:19:14.010 --> 00:19:18.600
But when the Sodomites pushed,
the angels took charge.
404
00:19:18.600 --> 00:19:22.050
And the Bible tells us in Genesis 19:9 & 10,
405
00:19:22.050 --> 00:19:24.480
and they said again, this is the Sodomites
406
00:19:24.480 --> 00:19:26.430
who are now speaking to Lot -
407
00:19:26.430 --> 00:19:29.040
This guy came into sojourn among us
408
00:19:29.040 --> 00:19:32.550
and he will needs be a judge
for us now we will deal worse
409
00:19:32.550 --> 00:19:35.730
with thee than with those two
guys that came unto you.
410
00:19:35.730 --> 00:19:38.190
And they press sop on the man even Lot
411
00:19:38.190 --> 00:19:40.380
and came near to break the door.
412
00:19:40.380 --> 00:19:45.270
And the sodomites basically
said, who do you think you are
413
00:19:45.270 --> 00:19:47.640
to tell us what is
right and what is wrong?
414
00:19:47.640 --> 00:19:51.270
You of all people are going to judge us.
415
00:19:51.270 --> 00:19:53.580
Well when we're done, we're gonna do worse
416
00:19:53.580 --> 00:19:56.340
with you than we do to those two men.
417
00:19:56.340 --> 00:20:00.840
Wow! Lot had so blended into the environment
418
00:20:00.840 --> 00:20:04.470
of Sodom that he had lost
his voice of authority.
419
00:20:04.470 --> 00:20:07.560
And when he tried to speak
with moral authority, the men
420
00:20:07.560 --> 00:20:10.590
of Sodom didn't even take him serious.
421
00:20:10.590 --> 00:20:12.330
And we read in verses 10 and 11,
422
00:20:12.330 --> 00:20:15.690
and the men, that is the angels, put forth their hands
423
00:20:15.690 --> 00:20:18.060 line:15%
and pulled Lot into the house to them and shut the door.
424
00:20:18.060 --> 00:20:21.300
And they smote the men that
were at the door of the house
425
00:20:21.300 --> 00:20:23.430
with blindness, both small and great,
426
00:20:23.430 --> 00:20:27.510
so they wearied themselves to find the door.
427
00:20:27.510 --> 00:20:30.120
The angels took matters into their hands
428
00:20:30.120 --> 00:20:33.240
and struck all the Sodomites with blindness, No.1:
429
00:20:33.240 --> 00:20:34.530
so they couldn't find a Lot
430
00:20:34.530 --> 00:20:36.420
and they couldn't find
their way into the house.
431
00:20:36.420 --> 00:20:39.990
And No.2: so they couldn't escape the city when
432
00:20:39.990 --> 00:20:41.520
destruction would fall.
433
00:20:42.480 --> 00:20:46.500 line:15%
And in verse 12, the angels said to Lot; Hast thou
434
00:20:46.500 --> 00:20:49.270
here any besides son-in-law and thy sons and thy daughters
435
00:20:49.270 --> 00:20:51.700
and whatsoever that hast in this city, bring them
436
00:20:51.700 --> 00:20:53.230
out of this place.
437
00:20:53.230 --> 00:20:57.220
But notice it says that Lot had sons-in-law,
438
00:20:57.220 --> 00:21:00.070
but his daughters had never known man.
439
00:21:00.070 --> 00:21:03.400
This implies they were married to homosexuals and
440
00:21:03.400 --> 00:21:05.230
therefore they had never had a sexual
441
00:21:05.230 --> 00:21:06.820
relationship with them.
442
00:21:06.820 --> 00:21:09.970
They were married, but they
had never engaged in sexual
443
00:21:09.970 --> 00:21:12.130
intercourse with their husbands.
444
00:21:12.130 --> 00:21:13.990
Wow! That is amazing.
445
00:21:13.990 --> 00:21:16.990
And as we continue, the Bible tells us
446
00:21:16.990 --> 00:21:21.580
that these angels went
to work to save Lot.
447
00:21:21.580 --> 00:21:23.110
Look at verse 14: Lot went out
448
00:21:23.110 --> 00:21:26.350 line:15%
and spake to his sons in-laws
which married his daughters
449
00:21:26.350 --> 00:21:28.450
and said, up, get you out of this place
450
00:21:28.450 --> 00:21:30.010
for the Lord we'll destroy this city.
451
00:21:30.010 --> 00:21:31.330
And verse 14 says,
452
00:21:31.330 --> 00:21:35.080
but he seemed as one that
mocked unto his sons in-laws.
453
00:21:35.080 --> 00:21:38.440
Finally, he's speaking something righteous.
454
00:21:38.440 --> 00:21:40.535
He's speaking words of deliverance.
455
00:21:40.535 --> 00:21:43.780
And his sons-in-law are
saying, what is this?
456
00:21:43.780 --> 00:21:45.670
You mean our father-in-law is a preacher?
457
00:21:45.670 --> 00:21:47.410
We've never heard him talk like this before.
458
00:21:47.410 --> 00:21:50.740
And they mocked him and laughed. What are you a preacher?
459
00:21:50.740 --> 00:21:55.180
They had never seen him take a righteous stand. Verse 15:
460
00:21:55.180 --> 00:21:58.630
And when the morning arose,
then the angels hastened Lot,
461
00:21:58.630 --> 00:22:00.190
they said, come on, you gotta get moving,
462
00:22:00.190 --> 00:22:01.870
you gotta get outta here; arise,
463
00:22:01.870 --> 00:22:04.810
take thy wife, thy 2 daughters which are here lest thou be
464
00:22:04.810 --> 00:22:06.670
consumed in the iniquity of the city.
465
00:22:06.670 --> 00:22:09.790
Notice the sons in-laws did not come along.
466
00:22:09.790 --> 00:22:12.190
And verse 16 says, while he lingered,
467
00:22:12.190 --> 00:22:15.580
which means even though Lot knew judgment was about to fall,
468
00:22:15.580 --> 00:22:18.670
he was hoping it wouldn't
really happen and he lingered.
469
00:22:18.670 --> 00:22:19.900
He wasn't moving
470
00:22:19.900 --> 00:22:23.650
so the man, that is the angels, laid hold upon his hand
471
00:22:23.650 --> 00:22:25.090
and upon the hand of his wife
472
00:22:25.090 --> 00:22:26.560
and up upon the hand of his two daughters,
473
00:22:26.560 --> 00:22:30.250
the Lord being merciful unto
him and they brought him forth
474
00:22:30.250 --> 00:22:32.290
and set him without the city.
475
00:22:33.190 --> 00:22:35.200
And you know what happened next?
476
00:22:35.200 --> 00:22:38.500
Fire and brimstone fell upon Sodom and Gomorrah
477
00:22:38.500 --> 00:22:41.710
and God overthrew the
cities of the plane, but Lot
478
00:22:41.710 --> 00:22:44.200
and his family were delivered.
479
00:22:44.200 --> 00:22:46.150
But when you look at the story,
480
00:22:46.150 --> 00:22:47.050
it looks like they weren't too
481
00:22:47.050 --> 00:22:48.940
interested in being delivered.
482
00:22:48.940 --> 00:22:52.660
This was a man who had
tragically surrendered all
483
00:22:52.660 --> 00:22:56.530
of his morals for the sake
of a business opportunity.
484
00:22:56.530 --> 00:22:58.630
He didn't even have the sense to walk out
485
00:22:58.630 --> 00:23:01.060
of a mess when God was trying to deliver him.
486
00:23:01.060 --> 00:23:03.010
Then why did God deliver him?
487
00:23:03.010 --> 00:23:06.970
Because Abraham, his uncle, drew near to the Lord, stood
488
00:23:06.970 --> 00:23:10.390
before the Lord and interceded on his behalf.
489
00:23:10.390 --> 00:23:14.530
And that is why Peter tells us in 2 Peter 2:
490
00:23:14.530 --> 00:23:18.100
9, The Lord knows how to deliver the godly out
491
00:23:18.100 --> 00:23:21.520 line:15%
of temptation. The word godly, the Greek word, rhuomai,
492
00:23:21.520 --> 00:23:24.430
which means a snatch out just in the nick of time.
493
00:23:24.430 --> 00:23:28.990
Because of Abraham's intercession, God snatched Lot and
494
00:23:28.990 --> 00:23:33.220
snatched his family just in the nick of time
495
00:23:33.220 --> 00:23:34.630
before the judgment fell.
496
00:23:34.630 --> 00:23:36.610
That is the power you can have.
497
00:23:37.900 --> 00:23:40.720
If you know somebody that
has veered from their faith
498
00:23:40.720 --> 00:23:43.240
by drawing near to the Lord and praying
499
00:23:43.240 --> 00:23:45.050
and interceding on their behalf,
500
00:23:45.050 --> 00:23:48.650
you can make a difference
in what's going to happen
501
00:23:48.650 --> 00:23:51.230
to them in the future. I'll be back

Are you ready for what's coming next?
504
00:23:54.860 --> 00:23:58.310
The Bible warns of a
moment coming soon suddenly
505
00:23:58.310 --> 00:24:01.340
and without warning,
when Jesus will return
506
00:24:01.340 --> 00:24:03.590
to rapture his church. Right
507
00:24:03.590 --> 00:24:07.880
after that, the antichrist
will rise, deceive the nations
508
00:24:07.880 --> 00:24:10.520
and unleash unprecedented deception
509
00:24:10.520 --> 00:24:12.380
and destruction on the Earth.
510
00:24:13.640 --> 00:24:16.760

539
00:25:46.310 --> 00:25:48.980
The Bible tells us in 2 Timothy 3,
540
00:25:48.980 --> 00:25:51.380
that at the end of the
age, we're gonna sail
541
00:25:51.380 --> 00:25:54.560
through some pretty
perilous, turbulent waters.
542
00:25:54.560 --> 00:25:57.200
But my friends we're equipped to do it.
543
00:25:57.200 --> 00:25:59.960
We're appointed, we're anointed to live in this season.
544
00:25:59.960 --> 00:26:01.970
We have the word of
God, the blood of Jesus,
545
00:26:01.970 --> 00:26:03.710
and the power of the Holy Spirit.
546
00:26:03.710 --> 00:26:06.650
And we can do it victoriously.
547
00:26:06.650 --> 00:26:09.740
And that's why I've written this book called, Last Days
548

We thank you for the word of God.
558
00:26:31.310 --> 00:26:32.930

559
00:26:32.930 --> 00:26:34.970

In Jesus' name - Amen.
563
00:26:43.320 --> 00:26:46.560
Remember Ecclesiastes 8:4, it says, "Where the word
564
00:26:46.560 --> 00:26:49.890
of a king is, there is power."
565
00:26:49.890 --> 00:26:52.170
If you've never received
Jesus as your Savior
566
00:26:52.170 --> 00:26:56.580
and Lord, now is the time for
you to experience a new life
567
00:26:56.580 --> 00:26:58.710
Jesus has to give you.
568
00:26:58.710 --> 00:27:03.360
Pray this prayer with me
right now: Lord, I repent
569
00:27:03.360 --> 00:27:06.840
of my sin and receive you as my Savior
570
00:27:06.840 --> 00:27:09.780
and Lord. Wash away my sin
571
00:27:09.780 --> 00:27:12.810
and make me completely new.
572
00:27:12.810 --> 00:27:16.590
I thank you that my sin is removed
573
00:27:16.590 --> 00:27:21.590
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
574
00:27:22.170 --> 00:27:26.160
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord
575
00:27:26.160 --> 00:27:28.710
for the rest of my life.
576
00:27:28.710 --> 00:27:29.710
Amen.
577
00:27:32.880 --> 00:27:35.640
