JACK: Well, friends, the fact of the matter is that
the Church, you and I as believers, are fighting
darkness. This is something that shouldn't surprise
us. The Bible says that in the last days, we are
to fight darkness, that is a spiritual darkness, and we are
to fight against evil, and that's not an option for the
believer. In fact, Jesus told us in advance that if we were going
to love Him and follow Him, that in the last days we would be
hated for being in association with the things of God. I want
to ask you a strange question. Are you hated for the right
reasons? There are right reasons as to why you and I should be
hated. The number one is because we're acting, speaking, and
conducting ourselves like Jesus. We need to be the shining light
that He has called us to be. Now, listen, when I mentioned
the word war, I'm not talking about being a war monger. We're
not applauding and getting excited about global wars, and
death, and bombs, missiles, and mayhem. Not at all. Those are
manifestations, no doubt of demonic doctrines manifesting
themselves in the governments of man. What I'm talking about is
the war that you're dealing with every day in your life and the
battle of truth and evil, in your mind, in your church, in
your community, in your very existence. Jesus said that
there'd be days just like this. That brings me great comfort.
And this is why it's important for you to know your Bible and
to let the Bible lead you in the way as how you're to live. So
friends, grab your Bible and let's dive into The War of 2024.
JACK: Y'all need to pay attention. If you name the
name of Jesus, hang onto your seats. The
faith is going to be under attack in 2024 more
than you have ever seen it in American history, guaranteed.
All of the powers and players are already in place to execute
their wrath on those who believe in this Bible and Jesus Christ.
I just want to say that the most precious thing that you own in
life, it's not your car, it's not that jewelry piece, it's not
your home. It's your faith, the greatest possession. I need to
tell you right now, I am not kidding you, if somebody stacked
gold five feet high with gems and pearls, you know how stupid
that is? Think about how dumb that is versus the truth of God.
I'm going to go with the truth of God every time, because
listen, I learned I don't have to have this because I learned a
long time ago that $50 can ruin your life, okay? Oh, but that's
a stack of gold. Do you know what that means? That can really
ruin your life. It's not going to satisfy you. It's not going
to make you happy. In fact, you're going to be more unhappy
and then you're going to start worrying. What do I do with it?
That's the first thing that's going to come out of your mouth
is what am I going to do with it? That's your problem. You
give me the Word of God, this lasts forever people. The
promises and the fulfillment and eternity is forever. Gold is so
nothing that God uses it for asphalt in eternity in heaven.
It just not- Can you imagine Gabriel, God, what do we do with
this? Yeah, just pave the streets with it. Let my people
walk on it. Faith, Bible says in Hebrews 11, Hebrews 11 verses 1
to 3. Now, faith is the substance of things hoped for.
Listen to this, the evidence. You ever think about putting
faith and evidence in the same sentence? God does. The evidence
of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good
testimony. By faith we understand that the worlds were
framed by the Word of God. What does that mean? God said it, and
there's Jupiter. Wow. By it the worlds were framed by the Word
of God so that the things which are seen were not made of things
which are visible. Faith, your faith. So what do I do about it
in this war of 2024? What do I do? What do we do? We do this,
Second Corinthians 10 verses 4 and 5, for the weapons of our
warfare are not carnal, but mighty in God, for what? Pulling
down strongholds, casting down arguments, and every high thing
that it exalts itself against the knowledge of God. Listen,
fourthly, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience
of Christ, take your mind and bring it under Jesus's control
by inviting them to govern over your mind all the time. That's
what you're going to want to do regarding faith in this world
and you being attacked. Romans, or excuse me, First Timothy
1:18, this charge I commit to you son, Timothy, according to
the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them,
you may wage the good warfare. The Christian, listen,
Christian, are you a Christian? Yes, I am. Are you waging a good
warfare? See, the Bible implies that you and I are in a fight.
We're in a fight right now as Christians against an invisible
war. Romans chapter 13 verse 12. This is powerful. Romans 13
verse 12, the night is far spent, the day is at hand. By
the way, if you've ever heard of the doctrine of imminence? You
say, I've never heard of that. The word imminence is not in the
Bible. Neither is the word Bible in the Bible. The doctrine of
imminence means that Christ could come at any time, and this
is one of those verses that back that up. The night is far spent,
the day is at hand. Therefore, let us cast off the works of
darkness and let us put on the armor of lights. That's what
we're going to do. That's what we must do. Jude chapter 1 verse
3, beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you
concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to
you, exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith, which
was once and for all delivered to the saints. The word contend
is the word that you think it means. Think of a championship
boxing match. You go in it to win. Nobody steps into the ring
and says, you know what? I'm going to lose this. I'm just
going to lose it. No, you've made it there and you go into
that ring because you've qualified and you fight. The
Bible says, for the believer contend earnestly, look, for the
faith. People are going to be attacking the faith that you
hold to. It doesn't mean you roll over and play dead. It
means you stand up and you speak truth. That's what we have to do
this year, people. If we're silent, then we become
irrelevant and we fall into the tactic of the enemy. First Peter
chapter 3 verse 15, First Peter 3:15 says, but sanctify the Lord
God in your hearts and always be ready to give a defense. Hear
that kind of language? To everyone who asks of you a
reason for the hope that is in you with meekness and fear. What
a beautiful Christian that is. Number four, everybody, mark it
down if you would, the war of 20,24 is against the Church,
obviously. My goodness, against the church. How do I answer this
one? What is the Church? Where is the Church? Seriously? Do you
know anything about Church history? If you know something
about Church history, my challenge to you right now kind
of makes you sick to your stomach, the Church, wherever it
has been alive, it has been an absolute issue for people to
have to deal with, the Church. It's not that little thing on
the corner of every town and you choose to go there or not maybe.
Historically, the Church is a living, breathing organism that
affects the world around it. So much so that people who
literally act like Jesus become hated. Did you hear what I said?
So, you're asking me to sign up to be hated? I'm asking you to
sign up to be like Jesus, and Jesus said, if you do that, the
world's going to hate you. Friends, you want the world to
hate you. If the world says, oh, he is awesome, she's awesome,
they're awesome. Yikes. Jesus says, watch out when the world
speaks well of you. See, we have fallen under the trap of how
many likes, how many likes, how many friends? That's not a good
thing. James 3:17 says, but the wisdom that is from above is
first pure. This is the Church, pure, then peaceable, gentle,
willing to yield, full of mercy, good fruits, without partiality,
and without hypocrisy. Wouldn't you go to a Church that was like
that? That'd be beautiful. John 13 verse 35, this is our
response to the Church being attacked, by this Jesus said,
all will know that you are my disciples if you have love for
one another. John 14:31, but that the world may know that I
love the Father and as the Father gives me commandment so I
do arise and let us go from here. Loving God, loving one
another. Another action item for us is Matthew chapter 5 verse
13. You know this well, Church, Jesus said to every single one
of us right now that would say, I'm a Christian, this is what
Jesus says to you today. You are the salt of the earth, but if
the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? You can't
re-infuse salt into salt. It is then good for nothing but to be
thrown out and trampled underfoot by men. You are the
light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be
hidden, nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket. Who
would do that? Can imagine lighting a lamp and then put it
in a basket, it'd burn down your house. You certainly burn the
basket. But on a lamp stand and it gives light to all who are in
the house. Let your light so shine before men that they may
see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. That's
powerful. The war of 2024 will be against the marriage, but
it's very clear that according to the world around us, marriage
is an absolute joke. It's made fun of. It's mocked. It's played
with, it's toyed with like a cat plays with a little mouse.
Listen, friend, your marriage is under attack. You want to know
why? Satan hate your guts. I don't think I ever loved him in
the first place. Let's say you didn't. Are you married? Yep.
Then make it work. Did you know you can choose to love anybody?
Did you know that? Have we forgotten this? If you think,
oh, no, I have to feel it, well enjoy it because that's going to
be like 18 to 22 months. You're going to get a buzz, 18 to 22
months. He walks by and you're going to go, oh, that's the
honeymoon period of a relationship. Married or not,
it's the honeymoon period. She walks by and oh, she could say,
jump off the bridge, and he'll say, which one? You have to wait
18 to 22 months and then that goes away. It's supposed to go
away. You can't live like that. You can't live like that on the
long-term. How are you going to eat? Who's going to go to work?
You go, no, no, you go, no, I'm just going to look at you. No,
I'm going to look at you. No, you go, no, no, you go. You
can't live like that. There comes a time after a moment you
say, okay, we're married. Let's make this work. You mow the lawn
and I'll change the oil. No, I'm kidding, but you know what I'm
saying? You don't? It's okay. God says in Genesis 1 verse 26,
then God said, I love that. I'm so glad it says that. Then God
said, boom. Let us make man in our image according to our
likeness. Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over
the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the
earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.
Imagine what that must've been like? Walking up, walking up to
a giraffe and talking to it and getting on its back and running
around. You know, I don't know, but everything was there for
you. Can you imagine walking up to, how about a lion? Wouldn't
you like to just nuzzle up and cuddle with a lion? The nose on
the thing it's like this, just the nose. Did you know what I'd
learned last night? I learned that the heart of a blue whale
is the size of a Volkswagen. The heart of a blue whale is the
size of a Volkswagen. Did you know its back tail, its tail is
the size of a private airplane's wings. Did you know, listen to
this. Did you know this has nothing to do with the message,
I'm just on. Did you know that the tongue of a blue whale is
the same weight as an elephant, an adult elephant? It is the
biggest living thing that has ever been known to live on the
planet, ever. The blue whale. Now, I'm trying to tie this into
the sermon, but it's not going to work. Oh, all these amazing
things. Verse 27, so God created man in his own image and the
image God created him, male and what? Male and female, He
created them. Didn't God know? Then God bless them, and He said
to them, be fruitful and multiply. Oh, now I get it, to
be fruitful and multiply you have to be a he and a she. He
and she makes more he's and she's. Imagine that. Boom God,
God said. Then God said. And the war is today in your world and
mine, are you going to believe God? Are you going to believe
the psychologist from Stanford University? Seriously, that's
what we're getting pitted up against. Absolutely amazing.
I'll have you stand because that will remind me that it's time to
go. Genesis chapter 2 verse 20. Follow with me. I'll read it. So
Adam gave names to all the cattle, to the birds of the air
and every beast of the field, but for Adam, listen to this,
everybody, there's a blessing in this, but for Adam, there was
not found a helper comparable or comparable to him. The word
means there was no helper that fit. Adam didn't look like any
of them, and they didn't look like him, and he didn't act like
them, and they didn't act like him. And the Lord God caused a
deep sleep to fall on Adam and he slept, and He took one of his
ribs and closed up the flesh in its place. Then the rib, which
the Lord God had taken from man, He made into a woman and He
brought her to the man and Adam said, this is now bone of my
bones and flesh of my flesh, which is amazing statement if
you know anything about the marrow that's in a rib. She
shall be called woman, because she was taken out of man.
Therefore, a man shall move out of his mom and dad's house and
be joined to his wife and they shall become one flesh, and they
were both naked, the man and his wife, and we're not ashamed.
Isn't that amazing? You know what? This is so brilliant.
Every man knows this by the way, we're just not big fans publicly
about this passage. You know what it means? God says, Hey,
see these animals? None of them are right for you. So Adam's
standing there. He gives names to all of them, and as they're
going by, Mr and Mrs. Hippo, Mr. and Mrs. Gorilla, Mr. and Mrs.
Platypus, that had to be weird. And then at the end of the day,
God goes, okay, that's it. And it's like, I feel kind of alone,
God. God intensified his loneliness. Adam, nobody's right
for you. Adam, no one fits for you and you should be very glad
about that, Adam. I'm going to make someone especially for you.
So you think about this, the Bible says in the book of
Ephesians, wives ought to submit to their husbands, thanks for
coming. God bless you, guys. Can you imagine the ride home in
your car? Wives submit to your own husbands as to the Lord. How
come? Why? Because why? The husband is head of the wife. You
know what head means? It means he's the first one to be
sacrificed. Did you know that? Remind your husband of that one.
Hey, woman, you need to submit. Yeah, well, you need to die. As
also Christ is head of the Church. Didn't He die for the
church and as savior of the body. Therefore, just as the
Church is subject to Christ, so let wives be to their own
husbands and everything, how come? Why should I? Husbands
love your wives just as Christ also loved the Church and gave
Himself for Her. That's precious. Ladies, you find a man
like that, he's easy to submit to. In fact, the word submit
won't even come up. You won't even hear about it, cause he
loves you so much, it's like, oh my goodness, this guy, this
guy's the real deal. And guys, listen, you want to be like, oh,
man, I want to be a Christian man. I'm going to rock it for
Jesus 2024. Yeah, you married? Yeah, you bet. Okay, well, it
starts in your marriage. At the end of 2024, your wife should be
able to fill out your report card. Seriously. That's your
first ministry is that wife in your life, and that should be
exhibited by you being willing to be sacrificed for her
welfare. Yeah. Yeah. We know what the world is saying to all
of us. I can take care of myself. We already know that. In
fact, let's be honest, you take care of us most of the time, and
us guys, we don't do good on our own. If all the women of the
world got raptured and we were left behind, we'd kill each
other over the rams playing the goats today. We don't do good on
our own. That's why there's only two days in a weekend. Men would
kill themselves. We need a woman in our life. We need wives.
Marriage, the world has destroyed it. The only hope for
marriage is right here in this room to show the world in the
war of 2024 that you're fighting it all right. You're walking in
truth, you're walking in light, and you're walking in love, and
you're family will exhibit the characteristics of God. That's
the will of God for us this year in Jesus' name, and all
God's people said, amen. God bless you guys.
JACK: Hey, listen, you may never hear this
from the voice of a pastor, but there is
a great book that I believe every Christian ought to read,
for that matter, everybody ought to read, and though it's
written to the US military, specifically the Marine Corps,
you can apply so much of it to our spiritual warfare as
believers. The book is titled, Left of Bang, Left of Bang
versus right of bang. Left of bang means you're ahead of
what's coming. Right of bang means you're too late. Your
opponent sets a trap as it were, and that they have despite some
form of indicator, it's always true. A trap is set. There's
something going on. Maybe it's too quiet, maybe it's too busy,
maybe it's too whatever, confusing, but the enemy has set
a trap and there's a way for you and I to identify the trap. Left
of bang will save your life. Well, listen, left of bang is
what the Bible is all about. God has given us instruction. In
fact, from that book, there's a great quote and I want to give
it to you right now. Learning is impossible without humility. We
encourage confidence but not cockiness. Apply this to your
spiritual walk my friend, and you'll be equipped to take on
the world around you. That's great advice, but you know what?
Even though it's given to our United States Marine Corps, I
think it's great advice for the Christian today. That for you
and I to be equipped to fight the fight, we've got to have
situational awareness in the physical realm as well as the
Spirit. So with that, my friends, listen as always, we
want you to get into the Word of God. We're here to help you do
that. You can go to JackHibbs.com where you can
connect with us on various platforms of social media
content, but also please go to the Real Life Network, get your
