Welcome to Track. Number. 6. Mission. Hero. I'm just the messenger. Wow wow, now God is blasting you through songs. The preaching is easier than the songs. Prefer silculation. There is a man who had a vision. Sit down and I want to read that vision to you, a very great man of. God and. He died. Thousands of people attended his funeral, he said. I saw a dark and stormy ocean. Are you interested? In this Are you sure? And over it the black clouds hung heavily, and through them now and then vivid lightnings flushed, and loud thunders rolled, while the winds moaned, and the waves rose and foamed and fretted and broke and rose and foamed, and fret and brake again. The Flash. Ziegler Brismo. Describing as stormy ocean. In. That ocean I saw myriads of poor human beings plunging and floating and shouting and shrieking and cursing and struggling and drowning. The myriad the person de Lucian or tried the Coulee, or tried the Modi, or tried the Suite, or tried the Superior. As they cast and shrieked, they rose with the waves and sunk again. And they rose, shouting and shrieking. And kissing and. Out of this dark, angry ocean, I saw a mighty rock that rose up with its summit towering high above the black clouds. The Apartheidos Spectacular. Macao, Brazil. Rock JV. Arauche Limineur Apparetra. Amen, Amen. And I saw around the base of this rock a vast platform. And a. Number of the poor, struggling, drowning wretches continually climbing out of the angry ocean. And I saw at the number of those who were already safe on the platform were helping some of the people. To come out of the water. I'm looking more closely. I found a number of those who have been rescuing planning by ladders, ropes and boats and other methods to effectually deliver the stragglers out of. This here and there, some of the people who. Were on the platform, actually jumped back into the ocean to pull people. Out they. Were eager to rescue the parish. And as. I looked, I saw that the occupants of this platform were a mixture of people. Everything is occupied with such platform. It is the mixture, the person that. We have here today they were divided into different groups and I feel that you will be among the right group. When I read it they said the. Visit of different group as you're thinking with the group many other. Groups occupy themselves with different pleasures and employment. A boguda group. Solar platform Sukupe and this activity in the. Very few. Members. On the platform made it their business to get the people out of the water. The solar platform. Where they had come out of. Do do the most. Was the fact that although all had been rescued at one time or another from the ocean, nearly all of them seem to have forgotten all about the ocean. The schemer shocking a place to do the work it took the personal chante sovre de la Mer. We have a book junkie Perisi. Is it a solar platform? Many people who have been saved, who have forgotten how they were. Saved easy. To understand. Is that? What was even more strange and perplexing was that these people did not seem to have any care, that is, any agonizing care, about the poor perishing ones who were struggling and Downing right before their eyes. They were on the platform and the people were struggling. They didn't seem to care for the people. They could see them just here, just here. They. Didn't seem to care. Perplexed solar platform. What is even more? Fantastic in the vision is that many of those who were struggling and drowning were their own husbands and wives, mothers, sisters and children. They didn't seem to care. They were on the platform and they could. See them struggling in the water. Listen to this this. Unconcern could not have been the result of ignorance, because those who live on the platform live in the sight of all of what was happening in the water, and talked about it sometimes, and regularly went to hear lectures in which the awful state of the poor drowning creatures was described. Tell us you have come to hear a lecture on the poor state of the people who are drowning. You have come for a lecture. Set in a tonscion in your hands Piano contre Ivoiebievski's per SE Ivoire Pierre de Coulee de Cule ET dio. They went for lectures to discuss the state of the people who were drowning just by them. This is the vision. Of a very great man of. God. I'm reading it. Jolene then, he said. I have already said that the occupants of this platform were engaged in different places. Some of them were absorbed night and day in trading in order to make gain, and they were storing up their savings in boxes and strong rooms on the platform. In Spanos Occupantola platform Occupy affair this insurance comercio A massilla riches a massilla on security many. Spend their time in amusing themselves with growing flowers on the sides of the rock. And others were painting pieces of cloth or playing music or dressing themselves in different styles, walking about to be admired. I mean, as they were on the rock and the people were screaming and shouting just around all on the sea. Some were painting the rocks and were planting flowers. It's a go Roche SU la Mercier visit platform Otura Lingzhouki T Suzette platform if they occupy. Music. They spend their time amusing themselves, growing flowers and dressing themselves up in different styles. People are screaming and salting all around the water, which you just came out of the tableau the. Floor San Jose and Sabiye platform. Some occupy themselves chiefly in eating and drinking. They. First Occupy or Monsour and Bivo. And they were taken up with arguments. They were arguing about the poor drowning creatures in the sea as to what would become of them in the future. While many contented themselves that they did their duty towards these perishing creatures by performing religious ceremonies, a daughter. So so talk. Don't remember this OK. Is adefe Lord duvoire pascua ER adefe la petite ceremony religious or person? So two of you come. Are you young, young guys? Let's say you are. You are. Here this. Is the ocean lie down here and you to lie down? You are all perishing you. You are Christian, so you are performing religious, you are having communion and other things. As the people are perishing here, three of you get up and plant flowers. Planting flowers the floor fashionable ladies the these fashionable ones here the fashion from young fashionable ones be doing different things before the showers are screaming they. Join Fashion Parade. They feel the most and these are perfect doing religious ceremony. How these two guys are perishing just in fashion parades. Look at the fashion they are planting flowers. These are what anointing oil these guys receiving anointing here and. These. Ones are planting flowers. OK, wait. I'm from looking more closely. All of you wait in your Stop the anointing, please. And looking more closely, I found that some of the crowd who had reached a place of safety have discovered a passage up the rock leading to a higher platform still, which was fairly above the black clouds that overhung the ocean, and from where they had a good view of the mainland, not very far away, to which they expected to be taken off at some distant day. Here they pass their thoughts time in pleasant thoughts, congratulating themselves and one another on their good fortune in being rescued from the stormy deep end. They were singing songs about their happiness that would be theirs when they will be taken from this platform to the mainland. So this another group of people here. I have some others. These are the ones here come, I need some young you, you come. And also people have been saved, OK, They are, they are now concerned themselves with heaven and they are also behind the thinking about heaven. They have come out of the water. But these two guys are in the water struggling. You are turning towards heaven. You are looking at heaven. They look back here and see these people are suffering. These ones are being fashion parade. This one is anointing. These ones are hoping to go to heaven each other your salvation a. Dose to show the salute. While these ones are paired and all of these people came out. Of this water. OK, wait as I all this time the struggling, shrinking multitudes were floating. That they could have. Easily been rescued. Is it a thermal posterior platform? They were. Perishing in full. View Mosquitoes. One by one but thinking down in show that groups were going down may. Only condition business say that what is it a Primula platform Ikulela do a spectacular trista ikulet or lo it is something a group. As I looked. I have. Found that a handful of people on the platform I have observed before were still struggling with their rescue work. The Las Vegas La Pointe de Jean Sola platform. Indeed, these toilets seem to do little else but fret and whip and toil and plan to rescue these perishing people. They gave themselves no rest and sadly bothered everyone they could get at around them by persistently and treating for assistance. So you come you, you are going to be my Sir. Come you, you are going to be the SO. Winner. To come and say that you have multiplied, no. Platform. Why? She asked. You just where the hell no. No, no, no, no. We don't want such things. Look at her. She's going around. Anybody who is no. Come back, come back, my dear. No one is my. Dear person, person, take to the girls. Try talking to these people. No one to help. They are taking pictures rather planting flowers. OK, they spent all their time, all they could get on boats, rafts, ropes, and every imaginable device they could invent for saving the poor drowning. Then I saw something more wonderful. The miseries and agonies and perils and blasphemies of these poor struggling people in this dark sea moved the pity of the great God in heaven, and he moved him so much that he sent a great being to deliver. Them and he sent. Somebody to come and save them. You know what aluminum? A savior. You know a brother. There who is very tall, but he is sitting down. What is your name? What language do you speak? English. You are the Saviour now to save these people. He is saving the people. The Saviour. A great being sent from heaven who loves a lot and has been trying to rescue. And these are fashion parade only having conventions to win communion. These people are looking forward. This is the Saviour that. Has now. As he was trying to save the people, his hands were bleeding. That's. Man. What was strange was that The Who had come to save the. Suffocate of a year. Started calling for people on the. Help him to save the people. Platform what seemed most. Strange. Was there a cause on the platform? Who? He called heard his voice. Leisure. Solar platform, the fact that they should obey. They also. Think it will obey? At least they said so. Those who loved him much were in full sympathy. In. The task he had undertaken. Amen. But they were so. Taken up with their trade and profession, money saving pleasures, families, circles, religions and arguments about it and preparations for going that none of them attended to the cry of this wonderful being who came from the sky. To save the people. Start calling. You are you are Jesus. Start calling these people. Save. Would you help me to save them? Why not? What these new? Claims that I have what you doing at this current moment, it's more important. Pardon. I just, I can't. She prepare, She's a model. She's a Top Model. She prepare. What you have? Which one? We're busy. Excuse me guys, Excuse. Me. Would you help me to save? Them. I'm looking to Jesus. I'm looking to. Jesus, the open finisher of my face, would you help me to save them? Occupied. Nobody wanted to help their Savior. This world want to save the people. Then I saw something that seemed stranger than anything I had seen. I saw that some of the people on the platform whom this wonderful being wanted to come and help him in his difficult task were always praying and crying to him to come to them. Some wanted him to come to them and stay with them and spend his time and strength in making them happier. And others wanted him to come and take away various doubts and misgivings that they had, respecting the truth of some letters that he had written. And some wanted him to come and make them feel more secure on the rock, so secure that they would be quite sure they will never slip off again. And numbers others, numbers of others, wanted him to make them feel quite certain that they will really get on the mainland someday, because it was well known that some had been careless and had fallen back into the water. So these people used to meet and get up as high as the rock and look over the mainland where they thought the great being was, and they would cry out, come to us, come and help us. And all this time he was down among the struggling creatures with his hand in the water, trying to drag them out, looking up so longingly, but all in vain because all those on the rocks were crying to him. Come and help. Come to me, come to me. So, Savia. Is. Saving these people, you want him to make you more secure. We want. Miracles. You want to feel more secure. You get to heaven. You want to be more. Secure. What's your presence? How do you want to feel his presence? What the street influences? What are these people Fashion The strangest part of the vision those who are already on the mainland wanted. To feel more secure. And come to make them feel. Happier. You want confirmation of his letter. Confirmation of the letter. Confirm your salvation letter. What do? You think, will you be rescuing the person or you also you will rescue the person. Do you want to spectacle? For calling, yeah, yeah. Less. Yeah. They want to feel your love. I love you. You love them. They want. You to leave this. Person come to them. Maybe. Don't you want you to come? To the We need money, we. Need money? What? About this one. We need money. Can't you say that we need money? We have been so tired. We need nothing. What do you have?

Yes, you are anointing yourselves. Communion Services. Everyday people communion go for mega. Church, of course, God. Agrees with men like fraud for more rich people to join our church so that we will have money for new cars and to build nice houses for ourselves, because that is a proof that we are great men of God. Fashionable girls, we need to I need to secure my Christian fashion career, so I need your security. My Christian fashion. Career Christian fashion career I have an image to preserve, so I need. God to help me. To be a Christian and be beautiful and fashionable too. You want what I want Confirmation of the letters. Which confirmation of the letters which he wrote? Theological differences.

I need him to bless me with some children so that I can bless the world with this beauty. I mean, everyone needs to see it. You want to bless the world with this beauty? Yeah, with this beauty. So my seed, as I spread it, the whole world will see that. Wow, God has blessed me with beauty by even multiplying and bearing fruit, looking like me. I'm bearing fruit. I'm bearing physical fruit. I'm fulfilling Scripture. I mean, God, Jesus should be happy. He should be happy very good by giving that a beautiful children. Wow, wow. Do you see why the world is perishing right before our eyes? Soon as you. Right under our noses. Soon as you. People are going to hell. There's one of faith. Yeah, let us all kneel down and pray that God should deliver us from this. And also look at you not believe how this is on the shoes. Father, we have seen ourselves. In the vision, everybody. Pray for Messi my. God. My God, my God, my. God.

Thank you for this opportunity for the university. Of Jesus name, Amen. Amen, Stand. Up. Does the surging sea look dark and dangerous? Unquestionably it is so. There is no doubt that the leap for you, As for everyone who takes it, means difficulty and suffering. It may mean death. He who calls to you from the sea, however, knows what it will mean, and knowing he still beckons you and bids you come, you must do it. You cannot hold back. You have enjoyed yourself in religion long enough. You have had pleasant feelings, pleasant songs, pleasant meetings, and pleasant prospects. There has been much of human happiness, clapping of hands, firing of volleys, very much of heaven on earth. Now then, go to God and tell Him you are prepared as far as necessary to turn your back upon it all that you are willing to spend the rest of your days grappling with these perishing multitudes, cost you. Whatever it may, you must do it with the light that has now broken in your mind, and the call that is now sounding in your ears, and the beckoning finger that is now before your eyes. You have no alternative. To go down among the perishing crowds is your duty. Your happiness henceforth will consist in sharing their misery and their sadness, your ease in sharing their pain, your crown in bearing their cross in your heaven, in going to the very jaws of hell to rescue them. What will you do? Determined on his own. Du vois de passevo traton avec SE jacquis souvo de jacquis de jacquis. Wow, this is the greatest profession to rescue the pair.
