PASTOR MARIE AGNES RAYNALDO preached the WORD at Calvary Living Faith Church Sunday July 07, 2019. Pastor Agnes preached on THE PARABLE OF THE 10 VIRGINS
MATTHEW 25: 1 - 13:
1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. 2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: 4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. 6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. 7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. 9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. 10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. 11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. 12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. 13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
Pastor Agnes preached there was 5 Wise Virgins and 5 Foolish Virgins
in the Scripture. "Those who accept Jesus in their lives are like the 10
Virgins. The Holy Spirit is in you when you accept Jesus as your Lord
and savior. The 10 Virgins all had Lamps.But the 5 Foolish Virgins did
not have any extra oil when their lamp light ran down and went out.
The Oil is the Holy Spirit," Pastor Agnes preached. "When the 5 foolish
Virgins saw their oil run out, they asked the other Wise Virgins for some
of their oil, but they said no." Pastor Agnes preached that the Lord
said "I Am Coming To Take My Wife" But we do not know the time HE
is coming for his Wife, us. Pastor Agnes preached that we must not
be like the 5 foolish Virgins, but be as the Wise Virgins, who were
prepared and had plenty of Oil in their lamp. "We must check our
lamp each day to make sure our oil is full. Don't be foolish with
you oil. The Holy Spirit fills you up. The Holy Spirit is a person. You
have to make the Holy Spirit your best friend. But how can the Holy
Spirit be your best friend if you ignore him and never talk him. Ask
yourself 'is my lamp lit, is my lamp shining'? Ask God to help you
examine yourself and see if your lamp is on. Because we don't know
when Christ is coming. When Jesus comes he will take those who are
ready. If you lamp light is off, Jesus will not take you." Pastor Agnes made reference to NOAH and the ARK as example of a man being faithful and prepared. NOAH told everyone the rain and flood is coming. But
everyone except 7 family members listened to him. "Everyone else
thought Noah was crazy because it had never rained before and they
lived far, far away from any water. When the Door was closed and the
rain and flood came, some of Noah's relatives came running and
pounding on the Door screaming for Noah to open the Door. But
Noah told them he could not open it because he did not have the
key. Just like today, the Key to the Door is named Jesus. When you are
filled with the Holy Spirit you can fill up empty vessels."
AMEN BLESSED BE HIS NAME
