"...but as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be..." Matthew 24:37

Hear What The Spirit Saith Unto The Church

Rev. Ron BernierThe disciples of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, had come unto Him to ask what the sign of His second coming would be. His answer was that it would be as it was during the time of Sodom and Gomorrah just prior to the flood. As He says in vs. 38, just as they were partying and drinking, getting married and divorced, right up until the day Noah entered the ark, so would it be at the end. In vs. 39 it says they did not know until after the flood came and took them all away, and it will be the same at His second coming.

In other words, as they were bobbing about in the water, knowing they were going to drown at any moment and stand in judgment, it was only then they remembered and gave thought to the Word of the Lord and to the words that the righteous preacher Noah had been speaking unto them. It was, of course, too late. For at that point in time their eternity in hell was sealed.  Jesus goes on to say in the 24th chapter of Matthew, vs. 39-41, "there shall be two people in one place. One shall be taken and the other left." He ends this point of reference with this most powerful scripture, as He speaks to each one of us and gives this very firm, absolute word, "Watch, therefore, for you know not at what hour your Lord doth come."

Now, let us take a moment to look back at the generation of Sodom and Gomorrah to see what life was like. At this time people felt as though they had a right to get a divorce anytime they felt like it. They could and did get divorced simply because they decided their wife's personality was no longer pleasing to them or because they had found a younger, prettier wife. They lived in a time of no absolutes. It was a "do whatever you feel like doing" time, (or as we say today, if it feels good, do it,) which included but was not limited to sexual immorality, homosexuality, lesbianism and drunken orgies.

Open your eyes and look around. You will be forced to agree with me that we are living in an age where everyone from the President on down believes they have a right to an alternative lifestyle, private immoral affairs, and homosexual and lesbian behavior which is rampant. Truth, honesty and commitment are almost unheard of and decency has definitely fallen by the wayside. People don't get married anymore, they just live together until they get tired of each other and rather than work out their problems like mature, responsible adults, they just split and find someone else to shack up with.

There is little or no thought of God, His judgments, and the absolute consequences of disobeying Him.

All that needs to be fulfilled before the Lord comes back to get His people has been fulfilled. I cannot think of anything worse than to realize that the rapture has happened, people are gone, and you are still here. For the Word of the Lord says that if you were to put together Adolph Hitler, Genghis Khan and Attila the Hun, it would not be as bad of a time as that which is about to come upon this earth in the next 7 years. It will be a time of torture, misery and hell on earth which will culminate in the Great White Throne of Judgment. For those who have not heard what the Spirit has said unto the church in these last days will be cast into the horrors of Hell for all eternity.

After 25 years in the counseling room, lately, almost everyone who comes in is on the verge of divorce, is involved in sexual immorality, or has been led astray into homosexuality or lesbianism. A great many men and women of God who stand behind our pulpits today are presently involved in fornication, adultery, incest, and all manner of evil. We even ordain homosexuals to serve in God's Holy ministry. The rate of divorce in the church now equals and, in fact, is beginning to exceed the rate of divorce in the world.

I'm sure you have heard it said a thousand times that God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve. In the book of Genesis after each day of creation, God said, "it is good," until the day when He created man and then He said, "it is NOT good-for man to be alone." So out of the body of the man God created a woman. The Bible says He created woman to be a helpmate, for out of all of God's creations, she was the only one given the power of intelligent thought, speech, beauty, femininity, grace, mercy, and the chance to become a child of His. Notice, if you will, that God did not create another man to live with Adam and be his helpmate, nor did He create two women, but only one. For Jesus said, "know ye not that in the beginning God created them male and female."  One female for one male.

I am brokenhearted over all of the times, (and there have been so many,) that I have heard from women in our counseling room, women who have taken the endowments that God has given them for their husbands - their softness, beauty, femininity, ability to comfort, and charms - and demonically and sinfully given them to another who was not their husband, that they were now in deep trouble. The reason is always the same, "I thought it would make me feel better about myself." To be wanted and needed. To be the center of attention. Was this not the same lie that Eve bought in the Garden of Eden?  They have never realized the price of "feeling better" about themselves would be their marriage, their children, their walk with God, their peace and joy, and they would wind up old and alone with no one to love or care for them. And they all discovered, all of Satan's lies notwithstanding, that it made them feel worse, a million times worse. It brought a hurt and a pain they could not comprehend to their husbands, their children, their families, and so very few have ever been able to be reconciled and built back up in the power of the Lord.

There is a spirit in the church which is gaining more power by the day. It is called luring. It is for the person to stand out, to be noticed, to draw others unto themselves in an unholy manner. In all honesty, almost 100% of it starts out with no intention of any sexual immorality whatsoever, but I can guarantee you brothers and sisters, that is where it will end up. I am so tired of seeing broken marriages and children who are bitter and unforgiving, so much so they never return to the church but instead go the way of the gangs with sex and drugs and booze. Truly we are living in the Sodom and Gomorrah of today.

This spirit of luring is easily identifiable. My sisters, please look at the way you dress and your mannerisms. Your necklines are so low that when you come to kneel before God's Holy alter, any decent man of God has to look away. Your clothing fits so tightly nothing could be left to imagination. Your skirts are too short and your jewelry, make-up, and hairdos are all intended to attract attention to yourself. From whom? Surely not your own husbands, and certainly not God. Brothers, what about those tight designer jeans and the shirts unbuttoned to the point where all three of your chest hairs are showing? Who are you trying to impress? Your wives? I doubt it.

Everyone has a chance right now to hear what the Spirit is saying to the church, to listen to the conviction of the Lord, and repent of your ungodly ways, to renounce this work of darkness before it is too late. For we are not unaware of the schemes and snares of the enemy of our souls. Allow this to be your time for the visitation of the Holy Spirit and repent - for the Kingdom of God is at hand.

Approximately 2 years ago I was ministering in Hawaii when the Lord gave me a vision and a word concerning events to come in the three to five years following. That vision was so horrifying I can still see the bodies of people who were drowned in a great tidal wave on one of the Asian islands, so many bodies they could not even pick them all up. Entire villages were destroyed. There were wars and internal conflicts in many, many countries, almost a new one every day. There were economic crisis that would destroy cities and even whole countries, and there were devastating weather conditions and earthquakes, one after another, in places where you would not expect to see them. We wrote this all out in tract form and it is available to anyone who should ask for one, free of charge. I can tell you that 90% of the things the Lord showed me and told me have already come to pass.

I mention this only that you might fully realize the lateness of the hour, for at that time the Lord also spoke and said that multitudes had not heard the alarm call and knew not that the end was at hand. His admonition to the church was, "PREPARE YOURSELVES, for know that I come quickly." Please do not be the one left standing alone in the field because you bought the lie of the devil in this hour. We are God's watchmen, called to sound the alarm, to warn the people. But the people must hear and respond to the message lest they also seal their fate and find out too late they will spend an eternity in hell with no hope.

Remember, Jesus is the Word of God. The Greek is logos, which means "unspoken thought." The Bible says that the Word was made manifest among us. This Word came alive, (meaning in the Greek, knowledge,) but the world and darkness received Him not. The word "darkness" in the Greek is ignorance. Paul, using the same word says, "I would not have you ignorant my brothers..." Be not ignorant or in darkness but rather stand in the light of the Father, which is made manifest in the Word. Thus, be ye not hearers of the Word only, but doers also. Know that He (the Word) cannot lie or be unfaithful to Himself.

God is faithful and His Word will always come to pass and do that which He has sent it forth to do. Many of you are being convicted by the Holy Spirit regarding the darkness, or ignorance in which you are living right now. This is your time to repent, to turn from the wide, easy path that leads to Hell and to find and walk that narrow highway that leads to life everlasting with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and truly there be few that find it. I assure you, if you cannot do it while it is yet day and the light shines, you will not be able to do it when night comes and darkness covers the land.

My brothers and sisters, know this. The night is coming soon when no man can work. Now is the hour to make your calling and election and your holiness sure, for without holiness, no one shall see the Lord. This is your hour! I do not know how to put it any plainer.

There are many in this hour that God desires to anoint that they might go forth in the power of His Spirit and minister the gospel. And unto you I would say, "Hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God and allow the Holy Spirit to lead you into the arms of Jesus. Put away the things of this world; that which is pleasing to the eye and comfortable to the flesh, and give God your reasonable service, which is to lay your body on the alter as a living sacrifice." For my strongest prayer is that you are not one that is left behind to spend eternity in Hell with these very words of mine echoing in your ears; crying out "why did I not listen? Why did I not turn while I yet had the chance?"

I am and hope to remain, your brother in Christ.
