I want administer this one thought to you today and I just simply want to
title it ready set go I want you to know if you are a runner then you're familiar
when you're in the blocks when they say ready set go if you're a swimmer on the
blocks you're familiar with the ready set go
notice what it doesn't say ready set stop
ready set delay it ready set hesitate it says ready set go it's amazing in the
name of God there is Gio in the name of God it's amazing in the word gospel'
there is go to the gospel I want to challenge you today why go is so
important and I'm gonna let the Scriptures begin to drive this thought
to you today now I may be a little long in the scriptures but I want you to get
this point today of what the Bible is trying to emphasize then the spirit said
to Philip go near and overtake the chariot
you did not choose me but I chose you and appointed that you should go and
bear fruit one man of you having a hundred sheep if he loses one of them
does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after the one that is
lost until he finds it and when James and Cephas and John who seemed to be
pillars perceived at the grace that had been given to the me they gave me and
Barnabas the right hand of fellowship that we should go to the Gentiles
Matthew 28 and Jesus came and he spoke to them saying all Authority has been
given to me in heaven and on earth go therefore and make disciples of all
nations baptizing them in the name of the Father Son and the Holy Spirit
teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you and lo I am with
you always even to the end of the age amen
mark 16 NE and he said to them go into all the world and preach the gospel to
every creature and as you go pre saying the kingdom of heaven is at hand
go stand in the temple and speak to the people all the words of life but now I
am going to Jerusalem to minister to the Saints how many of you know God is
emphasizing ago now I have a little object over here that I'd like to show
you a little bit about what that looks like how many of you know there's a
difference between what this is this means stop good good job little kids how
many of you know what this means that means go how many of you know that what
green light means and what red light means so what does green light mean and
what does red light mean good job you guys get a gold star today you know the
problem is is that God is saying this and we're doing this why is there such a
problem when God says that you and I are to go into all the world now that may
not be a world that you're familiar with that may not be a world you like that
may not be people in that world that you can identify with but you're to go into
all worlds whether that's an athletic world an entertainment world a
politician world a business world whatever world that is he's saying there
are lost people there and if you don't go those lost people may never hear the
gospel of Jesus Christ because Jesus is saying I'm not coming to walk this earth
again I came to this earth with a mission and I fulfilled that mission on
Calvary's cross to die for mankind sin now I need you to walk as
representatives of me as messengers of me as ambassadors of me and I need you
to do what I would do and so I want you to see the emphasis that God says when
he says to go to go you know if we go up north there's this place called Hertz
Castle it's the William Randolph Hearst estate
many of you maybe have gone up there and you see this elaborate multi-million
probably now worth billions of artifacts that are up there
and how this individual lived and you could be a guest of William Randolph
Hearst and you could stay on the ranch and you can enjoy the animals you could
enjoy the movie theater you could enjoy the pools you could enjoy the games
everything that he had he only had one request of his guests that you were to
join him at an evening dinner the rest of the day you could do whatever you
chose to want to do now when you came to the dinner at the evening to have dinner
with him he was a gentleman he never asked you to leave he would never ask
you to go you could literally stay there as long as you want you say man that's a
pretty good spread here I get served meals I get to swim in the
pool I get to live in this little casita he will never ask you to leave how many
of you know you're not like that you will ask people to leave especially
relatives that have been with you too long so here's how he would tell you to
leave without asking you to leave he had this giant dinner table where people ate
dinner together and the closer you sat to him at the dinner table was a sign
you are welcomed you are loved you are my friend
the further you got away from the end of the table it was him telling you you've
outstayed your welcome yet to be kickin don't let the door hit you on the way
behind go go see William Randolph Hearst in the greatest state was only to be
there to there was temporary it was there to just be enjoyed for a
moment and so it is in the kingdom of God as we apply it church is good but
you got to get going this earth is great but you're gonna get going one day and
we've got to be about our father's business and so when God says that you
and I are to go he is telling us not to hesitate and not to procrastinate not to
get fearful and not get busy or not get distracted we need to go because Jesus
is asking us to go we need to go because people are waiting for us we need to get
going because time is we need to get going because the world
is not getting any better we need to get going because the devil is more active
than he's ever been before we need to get going because there is a heaven and
there is a hell we need to get going there's a statement that says if the
church doesn't evangelize it will start fossilized you show me a Christian
that's gossiping all the time not in this church but in other churches you
show me a Christian who's complaining all the time you show me a Christian
who's disgruntled all the time and I'll show you someone who doesn't win souls
into the kingdom of God you show me a church that is dying that every week
begins to lose numbers I'll show you a church that's not winning souls into the
kingdom of God my greatest fear is not what exists today today we have a
sanctuary filled with thousands of people my concern is what this church is
going to look like tomorrow because eventually I'm going to get old and
you're gonna get old and you're gonna die
the life of the church needs to continue to exist and the way that it continues
to exist is souls are being saved witnessing is taking place we are
inviting people in the kingdom of God we are sharing our testimony there is the
sounds and signs of babies spiritual babies being born into the kingdom of
God when you have baby sounds you're alive you're excited
you see I've raised three sons and they they moved out and the house is very
very quiet because there's two old people that live there and it's very
very quiet and the older you get you talk less and less to each other it's
all now through facial expressions and moans and groans you say I don't receive
that preacher in the name of jihad you have your set little routine how many of
you know you go the market at the same time you sit and watch TV at the same
time you you have your little set routine well not too long ago my
youngest son Adam and his wife Ashley came to live with us
temporarily until they save money because they want to buy a bigger home
well they just recently had a baby and Mathias now is in our lives and Mathias
cries and Mathias makes noise but it's such a wonderful sound in our home to
hear the sounds of a baby everyone smiles it brings laughter it brings you
know a light heartedness it brings excitement and so it is in a Christians
life if there is not the sounds of birthing and babies going on and burping
going on and pooping going on then you're getting too old you're getting
too old as a Christian you're too old let me give you another sign that you're
getting old as a woman's body begins to mature she ages and there comes a point
in her life where she cannot bear children anymore sort of speak her
reproductive organs begin to die she cannot give birth anymore and so it is
in the kingdom of God we have too many churches too many Christians that are
not reproducing anymore there's a death that is taking place in
their lives in Jesus last words the very last words he said he could have said go
be successful go marry right go have a lot of children go big a big build a big
business but he said his last very words to us ought to be our first words that
we live by every day his last words ought to be our first priority
our first mandate our first mission our first message our first ministry his
last words were to go into all the world and
preach the gospel everyone we want to thank you for watching real with diego's

as you are
so I want to share with you some very quickly just some points here up that
represents go and why you and I need to be going nothing is going to happen
until we go nothing is going to happen until we go turn over to Luke the 14
chapter nothing is going to change nothing is going to be different
everything is going to be the same there are not going to be any new stories new
testimonies new any new miracles of deliverance of people's lives being
changed if people don't go nothing's going to happen until we go I want you
to look at Luke 14 and watch what it says here in verse number 16 then he
said to them a certain man gave a great supper and he invited many and his
servants said at supper time to say to those who were invited come for all
things are now ready but they all both one Accord began to make excuses we need
to get all the excuses out of our lives for not inviting people well we need to
get all the excuses out of our lives for not accepting Christ's invitation to
come to his party it says in the first set I have bought a piece of ground and
I must go and see it I ask you to have me excused you may underline the word
ground ground represents possessions and pleasures that often keep people from
serving God or seeking God he goes on he says another said I have bought five
oxen and I have not to tell me I'm going to test them I ask you to have me
excused the second word for oxen is it's amazing how people let business and job
robbed them from serving God and the third excuse he said still another said
I have married a wife and therefore I cannot come the third excuse people have
is relationships whether that's my kids whether that's who I married whether
that's my family three stoppages that people have then it's master of the
house being angry said to his servants watch this go out go now and go out
quickly into the streets into the lanes into the
city and I want you to bring in I want you to bring in some poor people and
some Maine people and some lame people and some blind people first you went
after people that have a job this time I don't want you to go after people that
had a job the first time you went after people that owned land this time I don't
want you to go after people that owned land last time you went after people
that are married I want you to go to a different classification people that you
overlook the first time this time I want you to go look for some lame people how
many of you know some laying people there sitting next year right now how
many of you know some laying people my blind people he says sick people lame
people and blind people and he goes on he says and the servants and master it
is done as you commanded and still there is more room there's always room for one
more person to come to faith in Jesus Christ
there's always room in our hearts never to separate from someone that's lost
there's still room there he goes on then the master said to the servant go out go
out again god I'm tired god I used to do that evangelism stuff at soul-winning
stuff in the 1970s when I first got saved God said no you go out and now now
I want you to go places you've never been before this time I want you to go
to highways and I want you to go to hedges and he said I want you to do
something that you didn't do before you didn't do this with the maim and you
didn't do this with the lame and you didn't do this with the blind no that's
it and you did not do this with those that on the auction and those that on
the land and to the married couple this time I want you to use a system called
compelling people compel them compel them how many have you ever been
compelled to eat look at somebody next and said don't lie how many have ever
been compelled to go to the bathroom and would not be denied would not be stopped
you will knock a person over
he uses such a strong word of emotion impulse urge that will not be stopped
nor denied when it comes to soul winning and witnessing I want to challenge you I
don't often feel compelled if it fits into my schedule and it's a convenient
time and I feel compelled this compelling I think comes from the
Holy Spirit and any of us that are Christ's followers know when the Spirit
of God is coming upon you he's compelling you and he's setting this and
orchestrating this moment up where all of a sudden out of the blue there's an
urgency to talk to a person or they're opening their heart to you he said this
time I want you to compel them to come in and I love this phrase that my house
may be feel what is God's obsession with this house being filled see here's what
Jesus was if Jesus show up today he'd acknowledge you and then what Jesus
would do is look at all the empty seats see we want him to focus just on us he
wouldn't focus just on us he'd be focused on he'd be focused and who's not
here today he'd be grateful to you and he ministered to you but he be focused
on who should have been here today who are all the people we passed on by who
were all the people maybe we didn't invite who were all the people that
should be here today he always wants his house to be filled why would God give us
a four thousand seat auditorium if not every seat should be filled and didn't
Jesus make a mistake every church in the world ought to be filled and God wants
his house he wanted heaven he wants eternity fill with loss undeserving
broken messed up jack the people who have received the forgiveness of Christ
and only through Christ can be made whole so the thought is this nothing's
going to happen until we go nothing is going to everything in your life is
going to be safe and comfortable and program program
and calendars scheduled if you don't go nothing is going to change you will not
hear someone cry on your shoulder you'll not hear someone look at you and say
thank you nothing is gonna change nothing is gonna change until we go
hey I want to personally invite you to our church there are a lot of great
churches and I want you to experience any Bible believing Bible teaching
Church I think our church is the greatest if
you're ever in the area I want to personally invite you to our church we
welcome anybody and everybody if you're tall or if you're short or you got a
great education or you don't have an education it doesn't matter your skin
color it doesn't matter the diversity of your life it doesn't matter if you like
Starbucks or you hate Starbucks I want to personally invite you if you come
come and say hello let us know that you watch a SunRail and I appreciate you
sharing this television program with a lot of people god bless on end with this
story and the story is when I grew up and everybody has somebody like this in
their neighborhood it was mrs. Easley mrs. Easley was about as old as
Methuselah or dirt she was just old really old and and for a little kid it
was very scary it's very scary because you hardly ever see her and if you do
you see a silhouette through a window of her so there was the legend of mrs.
Easley that she used to kidnap kids and then she'd burn him in the fire and the
smoke would go through the chimney and all the kids would tell the story of
mrs. Easley her house looked like somewhere between the munster house in
the Addams Family house it was broken down the paint was chipped the weeds
grew up well in my neighborhood there come times in my life as a little boy
where I'd have to sell candy let's just say for pop one or football or little
league baseball and I knock on every door to sell candy except mrs. Easley's
I would not sell candy to her I delivered the herald-examiner and so I
try to get subscriptions to the newspaper I knocked on every door in my
neighborhood except mrs. Easley I was a Catholic and so as a little Catholic boy
you had a little magazine called good tidings that you sold at the door and I
try to sell that but I would never sell it to mrs. Iza I had a little
little on more business with a push lawnmower and young people don't even
know what a push lawnmower is but but I'd show up with my push lawnmower look
Google Google push lawnmower they don't go away there their move they don't like
that and they don't say it so I'd go around the neighbor I knocked on mrs.
Easley door how do I know that mrs. Easley did not want my candy or
newspaper or good tidings or her lawnmower see it was in my mind of fear
or judgment that stopped me from having a relationship with mrs. Easley
there are many mrs. Easley's in our lives that really make us uncomfortable
I don't like your past I don't like your lifestyle I don't like how you dress I
don't like how you talk I don't like what your you know your your prison
record says I don't like it so you're not worthy of the gospel I was not
worthy of the gospel I'm done there's my final thought I want to talk to you
about Diego Meza Diego today Diego is pretty good at a lot of things let me
just boast for a minute Diego is very athletic I'm very good at
athlete especially endurance stuff I'm very good at it I'm very good at eating
right people are amazed at my diet I'm really good at eating right I'm really
good at pretty good at being a husband and I'm pretty good at being a father
I'm trying to be really good by being a granddaddy with that last four days me
and Cindy were you our annual pilgrimage with our grandkids we take them in San
Diego we spend time with them we talk to them it's very important for me to be
good at that I'm pretty good at praying I could close my eyes and I can
up into the spirit I'm pretty good at reading the Bible but you know what I'm
not good at I'm not good at soul-winning and I pride myself in these other areas
of my life but I don't seem to have a pride or a concern when it comes to
getting better as a soul winner but I'm here to tell you it's something I pray
almost every day of my life God make me a better soul winner because
Jesus you were the best soul winner that walked the planet and sinners love to
hang around you and there was something that was so attractive about your life
teach me how to be a good soul you know everything in life is about preparation
we prepare to go on vacation we prepare to go to dinner we prepare for holidays
we prepare for special events like anniversaries or birthdays we prepare to
buy a house we prepare to buy a car preparation is a huge part of what we do
we prepare our clothes on how we're gonna dress that day have ever thought
about preparing for eternity see eternity
how long is eternity Eternia is like forever it's forever and
forever and forever you know sometimes days just drag on and then sometimes
days go really fast here's this place called eternity that is forever and
forever and forever it's far greater than a hundred years or a thousand years
or a million years or a billion years or a trillion years it goes on and on and
on and on it's amazing to me how many of us have never thought about we know
what's gonna happen we know it exists but we make no preparation we are
prepared for tragedies we prepare for earthquakes we prepare for tornadoes we
prepare for retirements we prepare to get old but we don't we even prepare to
die with funeral arrangements but in a known preparation for eternity and the
Bible says it is appointed unto man once to die and after that is judgment we
stand before God we need to make preparation for what's going to happen
the second the millisecond after we die preparation for eternity starts with
this it's like a door you have to walk through that door and as you and I walk
through that door the thing that's going to prepare us and set us and guarantee
that our eternal existence will be everything that we want and everything
we expect is Jesus Jesus is that door to eternal life today if you're not sure
nor have you made preparation for eternity it's based upon a wish it's
based upon a doubt or it's based upon a denial maybe it's based on ignorance or
maybe it's based on arrogance I want you to get this right because there's too
much to risk eternity is forever and the Bible says he that hath the son had life
eternal life so today if you're ready to make eternal preparation now when you
invite Jesus in your heart I want you to recognize you're a sinner
I'm a sinner we all fall short of the glory of God
and only Jesus can forgive us of our sins so just say Jesus I'm a sinner I
ask you to forgive me of my sins I accept you as my Lord and my Savior and
now I want to live for you for the rest of my life thank you
that eternity is now within my heart and I will see you for eternity and forever
