"Our Field Is The World"
Greetings, in Jesus name!
Welcome to our new updated Web Site! We will be adding many Messages, and other items of intrest, such as, "Poems from the Heart", "audio messages" and, an easy guide to help you find the title messages you are looking for.
We will be continueing to update, as well as bring new messages of intrest, (especially concerning America and the Church!) In these troubling times we need the truth as to what is happening in our world, and, what we can do to prepare for the days ahead. We have nothing to sell, just sharing the Gospel, and, some of todays important news.
With war on every hand, and the potential of terrorism around each corner, we need a sure word from (the Bible) and, we should ask God what part we will play in this last day scenario! If any of the messages prove benefical to you, please tell someone else. You also have permission to "copy any of the messages" and sharing them with friends and loved ones.
Please don't let this be the last time you visit our Web Site. God has clearly shown me, that very soon our nation will be in great turmoil. Please ask the Holy Spirit for wisdom as you read the messages on this site. "The Southland Messenger" is dedicated to bringing the truth of God's Word, and for His glory. Believe me dear reader, God has placed an urgency in my heart, to "Cry Aloud and Spare Not", and, to "Sound the Alarm" to a sin sick, Christ rejecting Nation, that judgement is at the door. Amen! BEB.
Thought's for today
It's not what you gather, but what you scatter that tells what kind of life you have lived.
********************
We will not be remembered by our words, but by our kind deeds.
*********************
There's no place in the Bible which states: "You can receive the Lord, and be saved tomorrow".
**********************
It is the height of folly, and the most dangerous business, to know the truth and not act on it. God will hold you accountable for all
that you know, and, for all that you "could have known", if you were really interested enough to find out.
**************************
All that you do, do all in the light of eternity.
**************************
I would rather try something for God and fail, than to do nothing and succeed.
*************************
The greatness of man's power, is In the measure of his surrender.
***********************
A preachers business is to win Souls. (His only business.)
***********************
It's not success that makes a man great, but how much it takes to make him quit.
**************************
I'll see you in Hell.

After a heated argument, one man wanting to get in the last word, yelled to his neighbor:
"I'll see you in Hell"! Oh, dear friend, if ever there were words that should be shocking beyond description, it is the word HELL! No, it is not the grave as the Jehovah's Witnesses, and, many of the Cults teach, but a place of absolute horror!
Having the great Ministry that the Lord Jesus had on earth, and, after healing the sick, raising the dead, and so many other miracles, the bible lets us know, that we did not see, or read, of all His deeds. Yet with this awesome Ministry, and all the Miracles and teachings He delivered, one thing stood out among all the rest,
"His teaching on Hell"!
234 ROAD SIGN'S
Psalms, 9:17.The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.
Hell is where wicked persons are, and, it is where wicked nations are. In the 27 books of the New Testament, eternal punishment is mentioned 234 times! If life's road was 27 miles long, and had 234 signboards saying:
"this road leads to Hell", would you continue down this road, or, would you pick another one? We will be sharing several scriptures about Hell, for one thing we are absolutely sure of: "Hell is a reality"!
Hell, was not originally prepared for mankind, but for the Devil and his angels.
(Matthew 25:41)If you go there, it will be because you are an intruder, unwelcome, and a trespasser! You will go there by choice; you will go there by neglect; and, you will go there because of unbelief, and because of sin.
The fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone. (Rev. 21:8)
Jesus taught more on "Hell", than any other subject!
Why? Was it that important? Why is it, that many of the cults, and, some of the main line religions, (including some Baptist, who are called "No Heller's") either minimize, or try to do away all together with the subject of HELL? Many Protestant Ministers today, will not mention Hell to their congregation. Why not? Will refusing to preach on the subject make it any less real? Those that deny the doctrine of Hell, will one day have a rude awakening in the lake of fire, but to late!
Jesus Christ, sought not only to bless and heal the people, but also WARN".Any God called Minister today, will surely give instruction and warning on the awful subject of Hell! It is not a shouting Sermon, but the Preacher doesn't have the option of not speak on the subject, if he preaches the whole council of God! I am sure that when Jesus taught on Hell, He didn't say: "Boy, are we going to have a time tonight!"
It is a very depressing, discouraging, fearful, painful, tormenting, and dreadful place. Not only is it a subject that many don't want to speak about, but, for the poor unrepentant sinner, it can be the greatest message he has ever heard, (if he heeds the calling).Hell,why would anyone choose to go there, or, why wouldn't anyone want to find out "if there was an alternative"?If you are not a child of God (A born again Christian), the only kind of Christian there is, that will be your next destination after leaving this earth! I beg you, read all of this message, as we will give you the "only" escape plan available.
HELL IS A PLACE OF TORMENT!
The rich man in Luke 16, had it made all his life. He had the best of everything, yet he had no compassion, or consideration for anyone else. He was self-centered, and unmerciful. He couldn't, or wouldn't, listen to the cry from the poor beggar Lazarus, (for just the crumbs that fell from his table!) Compassionate? I think not.
Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard. Proverbs 21:13.
In the book of Luke, it tells us how he sealed his own doom.
And in Hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeing Abraham a far off, and Lazarus in his bosom. Luke: 16:23.
When God enforces His sentence on Hell, it will not be to reform you, to cleanse you, nor to help you, it will be to punish you for your sins.
Paul warns us in:
Ephesians 5:6... Because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
Have you ever heard the remark about some Ministers: He's one of them "Hell Fire and Brimstone" Preachers? Praise God, we need "thousands" more today! Preachers, that will help lost souls to escape the flames of Hell "for all eternity"! If we think that the penalty of sin is unjust, we just do not know how God feels, as He sees the rejection of His Son. If we shut Jesus out of our life now, and refuse to repent now while we can, God will shut us out of His Heaven in the life to come.
The following Scriptures will prove, that Jesus was the greatest
"Hell Fire Preacher" that ever lived. His warnings were plain, and, they need no interpretation. Someone will say: "Surely, Jesus didn't mean literally the following verses"! Yes, dear friend, He "literally" meant what He taught!
After reading the following Scriptures, if one would simply believe what Jesus said, there would be no need for any further explanation, or, a continuation of this message. Sad to say, many will NOT believe, but to their own peril!
****************************************
IN HIS OWN WORDS!
We hear the "News Caster" say: "Now we will listen to what happened, in his own words". THESE ARE THE WORDS OF JESUS! LISTEN UP!
Matt. 5:22..."But whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire".
Matt. 10:28..."And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell".
Matt. 49-50..."So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth"
Matt. 23:33..."Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can you escape the damnation of hell"?
Matt. 25:41..."Then shall he say unto them on the left hand, Depart form me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels.
Matt. 25:46."And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
Luke 13: 3,5..."I tell you, Nay: except you repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
LITERALLY BROTHER BILL? YES, LITERALLY!!
Luke. 9:43-49..."And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
44... Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
45...And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off; it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
46.Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is never quenched.
47...And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.
48...Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is never quenched.
Rev. 20:15...And whosoever was not found written in the book of life, was cast into the lake of fire.
{all emphasis mine}
Friend, let me ask you the most important question of your life:
"
IS YOUR NAME WRITTEN IN THAT BOOK OF LIFE"?
All the above scriptures, were the words of Jesus Himself:
He made it as plain as possible, that no matter (what or who, is hindering you) nothing is worth going to Hell over. What ever your hindrance is at present, get rid of it!NOW! Remember this my dear friend and don't ever forget it: "What ever, or whoever, keeps you from praying and seeking God, is the very thing, or person, that will send you to Hell"! If you are in a relationship (living together without marriage), break it off now! God has just told you by the above scriptures, that "nothing" is more important than your soul! A foot, hand, or even and eye, girl friend, boy friend, "none" of these are worth going to Hell over if they are causing you problems. Sin, "may be pleasant for the present", but just remember: "Hell is for real, and, Hell is forever"!This is a difficult subject to write about, due to the extreme gravity of the consequences! But it is also those "eternal consequences", that compel a gospel preacher to not vary in the least from Christ's teaching's on the subject of Hell! Whither it is Life, or death, both are for "eternity"! Let us not fail to warn with all gravity, the teachings on this horrible place! Jesus said more about Hell, than did Moses, David, Isaiah, Paul, Peter, John, or any one else in the Bible. It must have been important!
If we as preachers, trifle, or play around with people's soul on the certainty of Hell, we shall earn the curse of those who will die unsaved, unwarned, and who will go to this Hell, Jesus warned us about. If the Devil can get people to believe, that "God is too good" to send anyone to Hell, he has used one of his most decietful-convincing, lies throughout history! If the Devil, can get folks to believe, that Hell is the grave, or, that Hell is only figurative, not a real place, or, even that man will be soon burned up and annihilated, or, even the lie that many religions teach today: "You will get a second chance to go to heaven, after you have suffered a while".(One of the hellish Catholic teachings!)
May I ask you a question? Who is to blame, if today's minister's do not preach on Hell? What will happen to the poor lost souls, that raise their cries in Hell to ask: "Why did no one tell us of this place"?WHO'S FAULT WILL IT BE, if they are not warned ahead of time? That is right,YOUR'S AND MINE! Oh, let us not waste the only opportunity we have, to warn poor sinners now of the terrible consequences of a life without Christ in their life! Let us look at our next question!
HOW BAD IS HELL?
The terms used in the Bible about Hell, and about the condemnation of lost people, are not words of temporary meaning. They are words that indicate aneternity of suffering and shame. God gives us a vivid and fearful picture of the lost. These verses prove that people will remain in an eternal Hell of torment for all eternity!
Rev. 14:10..."The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb.
11...And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
The Bible teaches that: The smoke of their torment continues to rise day after day, forever and ever. That is a long time dear Reader! To affirm the time of this terrible punishment, the Bible reads again, what happens as the result of sin.
Rev. 20:10...And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
12...And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13...And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
14...And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This the second death.
15...And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
I ask you again:
IS YOUR NAME IN THAT BOOK? IS IT? ARE YOU ABSOLUTELY SURE? Nothing else will matter on that day, when God judges all of man kind. As He looks into the BOOK OF LIFE, will He find your name? Your name on the church roll, will mean nothing! Your own good standing with your little group or denomination, will mean nothing either! The only thing that will matter, is whither or not the blood of Jesus Christ, has been applied to your heart through faith in Him! Are your sins forgiven?
I have given you enough scriptures, to let anyone that says they believe the Bible to be true, to see the hideous, horrible, state of the damned! Oh, dear friend, you don't have to go there! Jesus loves you enough, that He had me write you, and tell you, about the terrible end results of a life of sin.
Sin has wages! You will get paid for sinning! Yes, here are a few more scriptures, and then I will tell you how you can miss this awful place, this eternal prison house, called Hell!
Rom. 6:23..."The wages of sin is death".
Num. 32:23..."Be sure your sin's will find you out".
Gal. 6:7...Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap".
So, friend, Hell is no joke! It is no fable! It is not a myth! The story of the Rich man in Hell, was certainly not speaking of a parable
! Luke. Ch.16: 19, Jesus said There was a certain rich man. Dear one, it was no parable. Read from verse 16-31. Get the entire teaching of Jesus on the rich Man.
As I close this message, let me just briefly share with you some of the things you will not get, or see, in Hell! Today, I walked out on the balcony of the apartment where I live. The rain was coming down so strong, and cool. I thought, there will be no rain in Hell, ever! There will be no water-no winter snow-no thunderstorms-no food-no rest frompain-no loved ones-no children-no churches-no worshipping God-and, even if there were no torment, the loss of our loved ones, and the freedom that we now have to worship God, will be gone forever. Do you want to go there?
Dear reader, if you are not a Christian, I beg you now to surrender your life to Christ! If you have felt the tug of God's Spirit, now is the very time you should get things right with God. If you have either felt the leading to pray, or, you have rejected this message, one thing for sure, (you will never forget it!)Throughout eternity, (somewhere) you will remember this poor Preacher's attempt, to show you the way to miss this awful place called HELL!
No, you don't have to go there! If right now, you will sincerely say: Dear God, I admit to you right now, I am an awful sinner. I know also, that I can't save my self! I also know that I need to be saved! You have promised in your word, that if I would confess my sins, you were faithful and just to forgive me of my sins, and to cleanse me from all unrighteousness. I believe that God! I believe, that you gave your Son, Jesus, to die on a cross for me. I believe, that you will forgive me if I ask, and, I am now asking. I believe, that Jesus was buried, and He arose again from the grave the third day, and through His blood shed on the Cross, I believe I amcleansed from my sins as I ask you for forgiveness.. Come into my heart right now, forgive me, cleanse me, and guide me the rest of my life. Help me to live for you, and, to be a witness, and tell others also of your great love and forgiveness. Amen!
Dear friend, if you have prayed this prayer and meant it, there will be a deep settled peace in your heart. God' s Spirit will witness to you that you are one of His own. Do it right now! If you know of others that need to know if "Hell is real", and how they can miss it, send them this message, or direct them to this web site. Pray that the Holy Spirit will deal with their heart also in conviction. Click on the Web Site below, and please tell a friend, would you do that? I would greatly appreciate it. And thank you.
