00:00:00
Have you ever felt in the quiet corners
00:00:01
of your heart that urgent tug as though
00:00:04
heaven itself is whispering? This is
00:00:06
your last chance, not a fleeting
00:00:09
thought, not a random feeling, but a
00:00:12
deep resounding echo that refuses to
00:00:14
fade. It is not by accident that you
00:00:17
hear this now. Today, you are not here
00:00:19
by coincidence, but by divine
00:00:20
appointment. Heaven's message is
00:00:22
sounding loud and clear. This is your
00:00:25
last warning from God. Every day we walk
00:00:28
a tight rope between eternity and time,
00:00:30
between salvation and separation from
00:00:33
God. The clock is ticking. Not the one
00:00:36
on the wall, but the clock of your soul.
00:00:39
The Bible declares
00:00:41
in. Hebrews
00:00:43
3:15, "Today, if you hear his voice, do
00:00:46
not harden your hearts."
00:00:48
Notice it says today, not tomorrow, not
00:00:52
next week, but today. Because tomorrow
00:00:55
is never promised. There is a solemn
00:00:58
urgency in the air. We live in a world
00:01:00
consumed by distractions. Screens light
00:01:03
up our faces. News floods our minds.
00:01:06
Pleasures captivate our hearts. But
00:01:08
amidst this noise, the voice of God is
00:01:10
crying out, "Return to me, for I have
00:01:13
redeemed you." Isaiah 44:22.
00:01:16
Yet how often do we drown him out? Yet
00:01:20
you see, this message is not just for
00:01:22
the world out there. It is for you, the
00:01:24
listener. No one is
00:01:27
exempt. The Apostle Peter wrote, "The
00:01:30
Lord is not slow in keeping his promise
00:01:32
as some understand slowness. Instead, he
00:01:35
is patient with you, not wanting anyone
00:01:37
to perish, but everyone to come to
00:01:40
repentance." Peter 3:9. Yes, God is
00:01:43
patient, but his patience is not
00:01:45
eternal. There comes a time when
00:01:47
warnings end and judgment begins. Let me
00:01:50
take you to a story from the Old
00:01:52
Testament, the days of Noah. Genesis 6:5
00:01:56
says, "The Lord saw how great the
00:01:59
wickedness of the human race had become
00:02:01
on the earth, and that every inclination
00:02:03
of the thoughts of the human heart was
00:02:05
only evil all the time. Yet in his
00:02:08
mercy, God sent Noah to build an ark and
00:02:11
preach righteousness. For 120 years,
00:02:14
Noah warned the people." Imagine that, a
00:02:16
lifetime of warnings. But what did they
00:02:18
do? They mocked him, ridiculed him, and
00:02:21
continued in their sins. Until the day
00:02:23
the rains came, the floodgates of the
00:02:26
heavens were opened. And it was too
00:02:28
late. This is a mirror of today. Just as
00:02:31
in the days of Noah, people are eating,
00:02:33
drinking, marrying, and giving in
00:02:34
marriage, ignoring the divine warnings.
00:02:38
Jesus himself said in shower Matthew
00:02:43
24-37-39. As it was in the days of Noah,
00:02:46
so it will be at the coming of the son
00:02:48
of man. The warning is clear. Are we
00:02:51
listening? And then there's the story of
00:02:53
Sodom and Gomorrah, a tale of grave sin
00:02:56
and divine justice. God sent his angels
00:02:59
to warn Lot and his family. Flee for
00:03:02
your lives. Don't look back and don't
00:03:05
stop anywhere in the plane. Genesis
00:03:10
19:17. Lot hesitated and the angels had
00:03:13
to grasp his hand and lead him out. The
00:03:16
fire and brimstone fell, consuming the
00:03:18
cities and Lot's wife, who looked back
00:03:21
with longing for her past life, turned
00:03:23
into a pillar of
00:03:25
salt. What a chilling reminder. When God
00:03:28
warns, he means it. This isn't just
00:03:31
ancient history. It's a living lesson.
00:03:33
The Apostle Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians
00:03:37
10:11, "These things happened to them as
00:03:40
examples and were written down as
00:03:41
warnings for us on whom the culmination
00:03:44
of the ages has come." These stories are
00:03:47
not just tales from the past, but
00:03:48
warnings for the present. Let's talk
00:03:51
about signs. Unmistakable signs that God
00:03:54
uses to awaken us. Sign one, the
00:03:58
increase of wickedness and loss of love.
00:04:01
Jesus warned in Matthew
00:04:03
24:12, "Because of the increase of
00:04:06
wickedness, the love of most will grow
00:04:09
cold." Do you not see this today?
00:04:12
Violence floods our streets. Immorality
00:04:14
is celebrated. Truth is traded for lies.
00:04:17
Compassion is overshadowed by
00:04:19
selfishness. Even within our churches,
00:04:21
there is a growing coldness, a lukewarm
00:04:23
faith that Jesus condemns in Revelation
00:04:26
3:16.
00:04:27
So because you are lukewarm, neither hot
00:04:30
nor cold, I am about to spit you out of
00:04:32
my mouth. We must ask ourselves, has our
00:04:36
love grown cold? Have we allowed the
00:04:38
world to numb our hearts to the voice of
00:04:40
God? This increase of wickedness is not
00:04:43
just a coincidence. It is a divine
00:04:45
warning that time is running out. Sign
00:04:49
two, widespread deception.
00:04:52
Jesus cautioned in near Matthew
00:04:55
24:45, "Watch out that no one deceives
00:04:58
you, for many will come in my name,
00:05:00
claiming I am the Messiah," and will
00:05:02
deceive many. Deception is rampant.
00:05:06
False teachings, prosperity gospels, and
00:05:09
counterfeit spirituality lure people
00:05:11
away from the truth. Even within
00:05:13
churches, there are wolves in sheep's
00:05:15
clothing. Paul warned Timothy and O coup
00:05:19
Timothy
00:05:20
4:34. For the time will come when people
00:05:23
will not put up with sound doctrine.
00:05:25
Instead, to suit their own desires, they
00:05:28
will gather around them a great number
00:05:30
of teachers to say what their itching
00:05:31
ears want to hear. Are we clinging to
00:05:34
truth or are we being swayed by what is
00:05:36
comfortable and convenient? Sign three,
00:05:39
the gospel preached to all nations.
00:05:42
Jesus proclaimed in Matthew
00:05:45
24:14, "And this gospel of the kingdom
00:05:47
will be preached in the whole world as a
00:05:49
testimony to all nations, and then the
00:05:51
end will
00:05:53
come." Today, through technology and
00:05:56
missionary efforts, the gospel is
00:05:57
reaching even the most remote corners of
00:05:59
the earth. Radio waves carry sermons
00:06:02
across deserts. The internet beams
00:06:05
scripture into underground churches. We
00:06:07
are living in prophetic times. But
00:06:10
remember, with great opportunity comes
00:06:12
great
00:06:13
responsibility. Have you shared the
00:06:15
gospel with those around you? Have you
00:06:18
prayed for the
00:06:19
unreached? Sign four, personal
00:06:22
conviction and the voice of the Holy
00:06:23
Spirit. Finally, the most personal sign
00:06:26
of all, the conviction of the Holy
00:06:28
Spirit within you. Jesus promised in
00:06:33
John 16:8, "When he comes, he will prove
00:06:37
the world to be in the wrong about sin
00:06:39
and righteousness and judgment." If you
00:06:41
feel the weight of conviction, do not
00:06:43
ignore it. The spirit is nudging you
00:06:46
toward repentance and salvation.
00:06:48
Consider the words of Proverbs 1:24:26.
00:06:52
But since you refuse to listen when I
00:06:54
call and no one pays attention when I
00:06:55
stretch out my hand. Since you disregard
00:06:58
all my advice and do not accept my
00:07:00
rebuke, I in turn will laugh when
00:07:03
disaster strikes
00:07:04
you. What a sobering truth. God's mercy
00:07:08
has limits. His patience, while
00:07:10
abundant, will not last forever. Let me
00:07:13
share with you a true story of John
00:07:15
Harper, the Scottish preacher who was
00:07:17
aboard the Titanic. As the ship was
00:07:20
sinking, Harper, instead of seeking a
00:07:22
lifeboat for himself, preached the
00:07:24
gospel to passengers, shouting, "Believe
00:07:27
in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will
00:07:29
be
00:07:30
saved." Acts
00:07:33
16:31. He even gave his life jacket to
00:07:35
another man, declaring, "You need this
00:07:38
more than I do." His final moments were
00:07:41
spent urging others to turn to Christ
00:07:43
before it was too late. What about us?
00:07:46
Are we proclaiming the truth with such
00:07:48
urgency? Are we ready to meet our God?
00:07:51
Paul said in roused Romans 13:11. And do
00:07:55
this understanding the present time. The
00:07:57
hour has already come for you to wake up
00:07:59
from your slumber because our salvation
00:08:01
is nearer now than when we first
00:08:03
believed. Wake up. The warning has been
00:08:06
given. Now, let's bring this closer to
00:08:09
home. Perhaps you've felt God calling
00:08:12
you, nudging your heart, whispering in
00:08:14
quiet moments, but you've brushed it
00:08:17
aside. Perhaps you've said, "I'll get
00:08:20
right with God
00:08:21
someday." But hear this. Someday is not
00:08:26
promised. In James 4:14, it
00:08:29
says, "Why, you do not even know what
00:08:32
will happen tomorrow. What is your life?
00:08:35
You are a mist that appears for a little
00:08:37
while and then vanishes.
00:08:40
Today is the day of salvation. Today is
00:08:43
the day to turn from sin, to surrender
00:08:46
your heart, to respond to God's final
00:08:49
warning. Don't wait for another sign,
00:08:51
another sermon, another tragedy to shake
00:08:53
you awake. You see, ignoring the gentle
00:08:56
tug of God's warning is like walking
00:08:58
toward the edge of a cliff with your
00:08:59
eyes closed. Each step may feel normal,
00:09:03
even harmless, but the fall is
00:09:05
inevitable. Scripture reminds us clearly
00:09:08
in Proverbs
00:09:11
14:12. There is a way that appears to be
00:09:14
right, but in the end it leads to
00:09:16
death. Many follow this path
00:09:19
unknowingly, believing they have time to
00:09:21
spare, but time is a fragile thread. And
00:09:24
once it snaps, eternity begins. Now
00:09:27
listen closely to these words from Jesus
00:09:29
himself found
00:09:31
in Luke 13:3.
00:09:35
But unless you repent, you too will all
00:09:39
perish. These are not the words of a
00:09:41
harsh judge, but the loving plea of a
00:09:43
savior who desires that none should be
00:09:46
lost. Yet he will not force himself upon
00:09:48
you. He has given you the dignity of
00:09:50
choice. There was once a man named
00:09:52
Felix, a Roman governor, who heard Paul
00:09:54
preach about faith in Christ Jesus. As
00:09:57
Paul reasoned with him about
00:09:58
righteousness, self-control, and the
00:10:00
coming judgment, Felix was afraid and
00:10:03
said, "That's enough for now. You may
00:10:06
leave. When I find it convenient, I will
00:10:09
send for
00:10:11
you." Acts
00:10:15
24:25. But convenience never came. Felix
00:10:19
postponed his decision, and history
00:10:21
records no evidence of his repentance.
00:10:23
How many of us are like Felix, waiting
00:10:25
for a convenient time that never
00:10:27
arrives? Don't let procrastination
00:10:29
become your downfall. Seek the Lord
00:10:32
while he may be found. Call on him while
00:10:34
he is near. Isaiah
00:10:37
55:6. Notice while he may be found.
00:10:42
While he is
00:10:45
near. There comes a moment when the
00:10:47
window of opportunity closes. God's
00:10:49
warning is not eternal background noise.
00:10:51
It is a final alarm. Let me take you
00:10:54
deeper into another powerful biblical
00:10:56
account. The parable of the 10 virgins
00:10:59
in Matthew
00:11:01
25. Jesus describes 10 virgins who took
00:11:04
their lamps to meet the bridegroom. Five
00:11:07
were wise and prepared, bringing oil for
00:11:09
their lamps. The other five were
00:11:11
foolish, bringing no extra oil. When the
00:11:13
bridegroom arrived, the foolish ones
00:11:15
were unprepared and the door was shut.
00:11:17
They pleaded, "Lord, Lord, open the door
00:11:20
for us.
00:11:22
But he replied, "Truly I tell you, I
00:11:24
don't know
00:11:25
you." This is a picture of readiness.
00:11:29
The oil represents our relationship with
00:11:31
God, our spiritual
00:11:33
preparedness. Without it, we will find
00:11:35
ourselves outside the door when it is
00:11:37
too late to enter. The warning is
00:11:39
crystal clear. Prepare your heart and
00:11:43
keep your lamp burning bright.
00:11:45
Even beyond the pages of scripture,
00:11:48
history gives us sobering
00:11:49
examples. During the great Welsh revival
00:11:52
of 1904, entire communities were
00:11:55
transformed as people heeded the call to
00:11:57
repentance. Bars closed, crime rates
00:12:00
dropped, and churches
00:12:02
overflowed. Yet, in places where the
00:12:04
warning went unheeded, spiritual
00:12:06
darkness remained. The difference was
00:12:09
not in God's willingness to move, but in
00:12:11
people's willingness to respond. You
00:12:14
see, God's last warning often comes
00:12:16
through personal storms, hardships that
00:12:18
shake us to our core. CS Lewis wisely
00:12:22
said, "God whispers to us in our
00:12:24
pleasures, speaks in our consciences,
00:12:26
but shouts in our pains. It is his
00:12:29
megaphone to rouse a deaf world. When
00:12:32
trials come, they are not always
00:12:34
punishments, but wake-up calls, divine
00:12:36
alarms, urging us to turn back to him."
00:12:39
The Apostle Paul endured unimaginable
00:12:41
suffering, yet he saw it as a means to
00:12:43
draw closer to
00:12:44
God. In the 2 Corinthians 4:17, he
00:12:49
wrote, "For our light and momentary
00:12:52
troubles are achieving for us an eternal
00:12:54
glory that far outweighs them all.
00:12:57
Troubles may be painful, but they serve
00:12:59
a higher purpose, to steer us away from
00:13:01
destruction and toward eternal life."
00:13:05
Let's not forget the heartfelt
00:13:06
invitation of Jesus in the Revelation
00:13:09
3:20. Here I am. I stand at the door and
00:13:13
knock. If anyone hears my voice and
00:13:15
opens the door, I will come in and eat
00:13:17
with that person and they with
00:13:20
me. Can you hear his knock today? Will
00:13:23
you open the
00:13:24
door? There was once a well-known
00:13:26
evangelist named Charles Finny who
00:13:28
preached under the power of the Holy
00:13:30
Spirit during the Second Great
00:13:31
Awakening. One evening, as he preached
00:13:34
on the urgency of repentance, a
00:13:36
businessman in the crowd felt deeply
00:13:38
convicted, but decided to wait until
00:13:40
morning to respond. That very night, the
00:13:43
man suffered a fatal heart attack. Finny
00:13:46
later wept over the man's refusal to
00:13:48
heed the warning in time. Today, the
00:13:50
same urgency echoes through this
00:13:52
message, not to frighten you, but to
00:13:54
awaken you. God is not willing that you
00:13:57
should perish. He is extending his hand
00:13:59
once more, calling you by name.
00:14:03
Now let's move toward practical
00:14:05
application. What does it mean to heed
00:14:07
God's final warning in everyday life?
00:14:10
First, examine your heart
00:14:12
honestly. Psalm
00:14:16
139:23:24 says, "Search me, God, and
00:14:19
know my heart. Test me and know my
00:14:21
anxious thoughts. See if there is any
00:14:24
offensive way in me and lead me in the
00:14:26
way everlasting."
00:14:28
Invite God to reveal areas where you've
00:14:30
drifted, where compromise has crept in.
00:14:34
Second, repent sincerely and
00:14:38
completely. Repentance is not merely
00:14:40
saying, "Or I'm sorry," but turning away
00:14:42
from sin and turning fully toward God.
00:14:45
In Acts 3:19, Peter declares, "Repent
00:14:49
then and turn to God so that your sins
00:14:51
may be wiped out, that times of
00:14:53
refreshing may come from the Lord."
00:14:56
Third, pursue a life of holiness and
00:14:59
readiness. Hebrews 12:14 reminds us,
00:15:02
"Make every effort to live in peace with
00:15:04
everyone and to be holy. Without
00:15:06
holiness, no one will see the Lord."
00:15:09
Holiness is not outdated. It is the
00:15:12
evidence of a life transformed by
00:15:14
grace. Fourth, share the warning with
00:15:17
others.
00:15:19
In Ezekiel
00:15:22
33:7-9, God says, "I have made you a
00:15:26
watchman for the people of Israel. So
00:15:28
hear the word I speak and give them
00:15:30
warning from me. If you remain silent,
00:15:33
their blood is on your hands. But if you
00:15:35
warn them, you have fulfilled your
00:15:37
duty." Lastly, anchor your hope in
00:15:40
Christ alone. The storms of life may
00:15:43
rage, but Jesus is our anchor. In
00:15:46
Hebrews 6:19, it is written, "We have
00:15:49
this hope as an anchor for the soul,
00:15:51
firm and
00:15:53
secure." As we near the end of this
00:15:55
urgent message, let me leave you with
00:15:58
one final soul stirring verse.
00:16:01
Deuteronomy
00:16:03
30:19-20
00:16:05
proclaims, "This day I call the heavens
00:16:07
and the earth as witnesses against you
00:16:09
that I have set before you life and
00:16:11
death, blessings and curses. Now choose
00:16:14
life." so that you and your children may
00:16:17
live and that you may love the Lord your
00:16:19
God. Listen to his voice and hold fast
00:16:22
to
00:16:23
him. The choice is before you. Life or
00:16:26
death, blessings or curses. The final
00:16:29
warning has been given. Heaven is
00:16:31
watching. Eternity is waiting. So I
00:16:34
plead with you today. Respond to his
00:16:36
voice. Don't harden your heart. Don't
00:16:39
delay another moment. Fall to your knees
00:16:42
in humble surrender. Cry out to God for
00:16:44
he is near to all who call upon him in
00:16:47
truth. Let's conclude this message with
00:16:50
a heartfelt prayer. Lord Jesus, I hear
00:16:52
your warning today. I recognize that I
00:16:55
have strayed, that I have allowed the
00:16:57
noise of the world to drown out your
00:16:59
voice. Forgive me for my sins. Cleanse
00:17:02
my heart. Renew my spirit. I open the
00:17:05
door of my heart to you right now. Come
00:17:08
in, Lord Jesus, and be my savior and
00:17:10
king. Help me to live every day in
00:17:12
readiness, to walk in your truth, and to
00:17:15
share your love and warning with those
00:17:17
around me. Thank you for your mercy and
00:17:20
patience. I choose life today. I choose
00:17:23
you in Jesus mighty name. Amen. And now
00:17:27
as you rise from this prayer, carry this
00:17:30
message in your heart. Let it burn
00:17:32
brightly like a lamp full of oil. Let it
00:17:35
guide your steps and inspire your words.
00:17:38
Share it boldly. Live it faithfully and
00:17:41
cling to the blessed hope of his
00:17:42
glorious appearing. Because this, dear
00:17:45
listener, is not just another message.
00:17:47
This is heaven's final call. This is
00:17:49
your last warning from God.
