This is the audio version of Liberty Gospel track TRE 174. The title is Asheville, Los Angeles. Floods to Fires. What is Coming? God wants you to know what is coming. The Bible says the Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness, but is long-suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 2 Peter 3 verse 9. God is showing you what is coming, because he does not want you to perish. The Bible says, For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3 verse 16 What is God trying to show us about the future through the events of Asheville and Los Angeles? Asheville, North Carolina had devastating rain and flooding. When we think about floods, what historical event comes to our minds? The worldwide flood in the days of Noah. God said, and behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth. Genesis 6, 17. For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights. Genesis 7, verse 4. Why did God bring this flood upon the whole earth? The Bible says, And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. Genesis 6 verse 5. But what does that have to do with Asheville? I quote, according to the latest United States census, the Asheville area has 83% more lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer, that is LGBTQ+, identified people than the typical American city or town. God calls that behavior wicked and says that he will judge it. Bible says for this cause God gave them up unto vile affections, for even their women to change the natural use into that which is against nature. And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman burned in their lust one toward another, men with men, working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet, and even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient. Who, knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them." Romans 1 verses 26 through 28 and verse 32. What about Los Angeles? Los Angeles held the world's first LGBTQ plus parade in 1970. One of its taverns claims to be, I quote, the site of the first documented LGBTQ plus civil rights demonstration in the nation, end quote. They claim to have, quote, the world's largest research library dedicated to honor and archive LGBTQ plus history, end quote. What does all this have to do with the fires? Sodom and Gomorrah was also the hotspot for sodomy, and this is what God said. And the Lord said, because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous. Genesis 18 verse 20. Bible says, Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven. Genesis 19, verse 24. Before God destroyed Sodom by fire, he rescued Lot, who was a believer, It is going to be like the days of Noah and Lot when Jesus comes to take Christians to heaven. The Bible says, And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of Man. Likewise, also as it was in the days of Lot, even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed. Luke 17, 26-30. My friend, God does not want you to perish in the coming judgment. Repent of your sin, and receive the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior before judgment falls. The Lord Jesus Christ. is the Son of God, God Almighty in the flesh. He is Master, Savior, and Messiah, the Creator of heaven and earth. He died on the cross for you and gave his pure, sinless blood to pay the wages of your sin, which is death. Romans 6, verse 23. The Lord Jesus Christ then arose from the grave the third day proving that his blood fully paid for your sins. To be saved, you must call upon him from your heart. The Bible says that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Romans 10, verses 9 and 13. Bow your head in prayer and tell the Lord Jesus that you are sorry for your sin and ask him to save you, to cleanse you. After we ask the Lord Jesus Christ to save us, then God instructs us to openly confess him by getting baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Baptism does not save us. It is a picture and testimony of us now identifying our lives with Jesus. When we go under the water, it pictures death to the old life of sin. And when we come up out of the water, It pictures a new life serving the Lord Jesus Christ. My friend, there is a horrible judgment coming, just as God did in the days of the flood. He promised he would never send another worldwide flood, but as you can see from Asheville, the devastation and the death that came, judgment came upon them. You see the devastation and judgment that God has brought upon Los Angeles, the fires. God destroyed Sodom by fire. My friend, a horrible judgment is coming. Receive the Lord Jesus Christ today. Repent of your sin and by faith ask the Lord Jesus Christ to save you. We have some free Bible study courses we'd love to send to you. Give us a call today. Our number is 616-754-7151.
