Judgment Day — Steve Hill

Like to share a message with you in today's service That is going to be pivotal for many people that are watching many of you that are in this room. It's about an event that's going to take place in every one of our lives.

No one's going to be exempt. Millions upon millions of people have already experienced this and you will too and so I would encourage you and Encourage others Around you that are not paying much attention to get close and give God Your ear.

I'm just a messenger man. Okay, that's all I am and I'm going to preach today the Word of God and It really doesn't make a difference to me whether or not you like it or not. There's a lot of words in the Word of God that people don't enjoy reading.

But I am a pastor, I'm an evangelist working the apostolic ministry church planting and I have always been known for serving a full course meal and So this may be to you like veggies. I don't know but I want to preach you today on Judgment Day the Bible says in Hebrews 9 27 and as it is appointed unto man once to die but after this The judgment the Bible also says in 2nd Corinthians 5 2 and I'm going to focus this message on the two major judgments that are facing every man woman and child that are watching and Every man woman child in this room All through the Word of God, you'll see judgments carried out.

The Judgment Seat of Christ and the Great White Throne

But this is eschatology. This is a study of the future. What I'm going to share with the next few minutes is something that's going to happen. 2nd Corinthians 5 10 says this for we must all appear everyone say all.

We must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ. That everyone may receive the things done in his body according to that He hath done whether it be good or bad. Now that is for the believer the judgment seat of Christ.

Now for the unbeliever you haven't made the decision yet yet. You need to make it now for the unbeliever revelations 20 11 through 14 for I saw a great white throne and Him that sat on it from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away.

And there was found no place for them and I saw the dead small and great stand before God and the books were opened and Another book was open which is the book of life and the dead were judged out of these things which were written in the book according to their works 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.

Now, let me remind everyone that death is not a period. But a comma in the story of life. I'll say that again. Death is not a period. But rather a comma in the story of life. As I perform Funerals, I've often referred to the the shell that is in the casket own family members.

We've suffered just like many of you and I refer to the shell that's in front of me in that casket and I'll say this is not and Susie this is not brother. John. This is his earthly tabernacle. And if brother John could come back and stand before us he would say this listen to the preacher.

Because the decisions that I made during my earthly life have affected My eternal life. Now I'm going to show you a clip of something that may be disturbing. But I believe most of you can handle it. This is on the internet.

You can find it and it's a lullaby that we've we've rewritten and put Some animation to it some screen shots of individuals. And I've entitled it hush little sinner now before you ever judge me on this.

Sin, Judgment, and the Need for Repentance

I Want you to hear me? We're gonna roll this in just a few seconds, but sinner is found 21 times in Scripture. Sinners is found 48 times in Scripture. Transgressors and unbelievers are found 30 times.

Wicked is found 344 times sin is found 448 times and sin is found 119 times. Add those all up and You've got hundreds and hundreds of verses that have to do with man missing God's mark. That's what sin is or man not doing what Jesus?

Wanted him to do. The Bible says in Romans 3 23 for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. The Bible says in Romans 5 8 why we were still sinners. Christ died for us because that word has been banned from their vocabulary or banned from their church.

Don't tell me I've sinned. Tell me I've made a mistake. No, sir. It doesn't work like that. Okay, don't Whitewash the Bible and don't dumb it down. Because whatever you do no matter how you gloss over it, you will stand before God on Judgment Day.

The Bible says in 1st Timothy Paul said verse 16 of chapter 1 that I was the worst of sinners. I love that because we need to admit That we don't live according to God's laws and God's rule book and. So I'm not being judgmental as I preach this because Steve Hill will stand before God on Judgment Day.

I will stand before God. For everything I did good and evil everything I did right wrong. That wasn't washed in the blood. I will stand before God. So what I'm about to roll in here is a lullaby that we've rewritten called hush little sinner.

It may be a little disturbing to you, but I want to tell you this will come to pass.

Don't you Satan's gonna bless you before you die. The world I'll lay before your feet Don't be concerned for the judgment seat. I'll give you This. So much to share. The preacher My word to you is to play There's so much time.

Don't be concerned. You've come this far on what you learn. Your heart is pounding. We'll walk. This is a passing fad. They say he helps if you are sad. The joy He brings is not like mine. All the time sinner, don't you cry.

Satan's gonna bless you before you die. The world I'll lay before your feet Don't be concerned for the judgment seat.

Judgment Day as the Final Trial

Not a popular subject, but I find it interesting. That Noah Webster whom we often referred to and looked to for guidance in the English language his first dictionary published in 1828 is so full of Scripture, it looks like the Bible and When you look up judgment day and judgment according to Noah Webster, it's this the final trial of the human race.

When God and I'm not speaking of this I'm talking about Noah Webster. Webster's dictionary the final trial of the human race when God will decide the fate of every individual and award sentence according to justice and.

Then he refers to Scripture after Scripture after Scripture. This is in the 1828 version of Noah Webster's English language. It's the end Ecclesiastes 12 13 and 14 the end of all the matter. All has been heard.

The Bible says Solomon said fear God and keep his commandments for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring into deed into deed into judgment with every secret thing whether it be good or whether it be evil.

So God will judge. Now this is not me. Coming up with some theology. Okay, I'm just preaching the Word of God and I took some time on the internet to see. Who really believes in the judgment and church you would be fascinated at the teaching that's out there now and most of it is so full of grace you can do anything that you want to do and still get to heaven at.

That hush little sinner that you want just watched at the end of it. It says don't be afraid of the judgment seat. Okay. Well, the judgment seat is for Christians. But hey, welcome to America where you can drink you can party you can do drugs.

You can lay around still go to church on Sunday. Got your name on the roll down here, but your name's not on the roll up there. But America is so lethargic so stuck and I apologize for those of you that are watching around the world.

Don't look to us for a standard of high Christian living. Go to the the countries where they're being martyred for the things of Christ. Go to an underground church in China go somewhere where you'll see people that really live it out now.

Pastor. Why are you just? Slamming America. I love this country, but it's embarrassing. I got an email one time from a man in a faraway land. He said please come and help us but keep America's teaching on your own soil.

He said it's ruining our nation. All they wanted was the blood in the cross. So let me just get into this for the next few minutes. There's four kinds of people who are listening to this. There are those who are close to the truth.

Four Responses to the Truth About Jesus

There are those who are distant from the truth. There are people that are close to Jesus. You're close, but you're not in yet. You're looking at the cross, but you're not on the cross. And There are others who are distant from the truth.

You've never known the Lord. You could be Muslim or maybe you're Hindu or in some other religion. You're sitting here in this church and you're going, you know, I've never heard anything like this. This is new to me.

I want you to know there's only one way to be saved and that's through the shed blood of Jesus. There's only one way to heaven and he's the only one he's my advocate. He's my lawyer. He's the man that stands with me.

He's the other you don't want anybody else with you on Judgment Day my friend Jesus people who haven't known the truth is another person that's listening this you've never you have known the truth. Excuse me, but you've backslid.

There are those in this room and those listening around the world and there's not those that have known the truth and have been set Free and live in victory. Okay, that's another category of people. Let me just give you a few points about judgment without exception everyone within the sound of my voice.

Will one day face the judgment of God. One day my friend your name will be called. There's people watching right yet now you said I've had enough. I Don't want to hear that no more. There's happened to be a gavel right here.

Just happens to be right here. It's amazing. I Think I'll lay that right there. But there's people watching this today people in this church. You don't know I can't stand it. I'm gonna go to the bathroom.

Let me tell you you can go into the bathroom. God's still there. You can't you can't run from God. Okay, and us just down the road. We're gonna have to put speakers in the bathroom. All right. Forget that hiding from God.

God’s Omniscience and the Certainty of Judgment

Hmm, but let me tell you what I'm just gonna weave in this scripture. This is I love this scripture. This is Psalm 50 verse 21. This is why people say I don't like this stuff. The Bible says in Psalm 50 21 these things you have done and I kept silent.

You thought I was just like you. I Will reprove you and state the case in order before your eyes look this way folks. That's Psalm 50 verse 21. You can look it up for yourself. It says you think I'm just like you.

That's why people do not believe in the judgment. We're the we're the nation that lets child Pornographers and child molesters said we set them free. Give them a little slap on the hand and say go your way while other nations hang them.

We're the nation that you get busted for stealing you get probation other nations you get your hand chopped off. I've watched I've seen people with nubs and it wasn't from a war wound. They stole a lady's purse.

Those nations ladies you can leave your purse on the sidewalk go in and shop come back out. Your purse is still sitting there. Why people believe in judgment? Okay, but that scripture says you think I'm just like you.

God is not like us. His ways are not like our ways his thoughts are not like our thoughts. When people come to me and they say I just can't believe that God would judge people. That's your problem. You're trying to filter everything through that gray matter upstairs.

It don't work like that. Are you mad preach it? No, I'm not mad. I'm trying to warn you and you're gonna say thank God on that final day one day. Your ticket will be pulled a Warrant will be issued for your arrest.

Your time will come the test will be over. You'll put your pencil down. As sure as the Sun rises in the east and sets in the West. You will face the judgment of God as certain as death comes to every man.

You will face the judgment of God when I say you I'm talking about Steve Hill also. As sure as one and one is two you'll face the judgment as sure as water is wet and fire is hot. You will face the judgment of God as sure as summer Follows spring and autumn follows summer and winter follows autumn.

Biblical Examples of Judgment

You will face the judgment of God. I'm saying to you today. Everyone will be judged. Remember the rich man and Lazarus and Luke 17. Luke 16 the rich man lived his life his life as if it would go on forever.

Lazarus begged at his feet both would stand before God at their death. One begged here. The other one bit begged hereafter. There's that foolish rich man found in Luke 12. Just listen up folks. This is scripture.

There was a certain rich man Luke 12 16 Who brought forth plenty and he thought within himself What shall I do? I read this this morning and I was shocked about what will I do? What will I do? What will I do?

What will I do? Well, that's what this is. I underlined it all he thought within himself. Oh big mistake. He thought within himself What shall I do? Because I have no room where to bestow all my fruits and he said this will I do.

I Will pull down my barns and build greater and there will I? Bestow all my fruits and my goods and I will say to my soul soul. You have a lot of goods laid up for many years. Take your ease eat drink and be merry, but God said you fool today your soul is Required of thee and then we know the Old Testament.

That was Luke 12 16 through 20. Daniel 5 24 through 28. These are just simple judgments in the word little heavy. Daniel 5 24, you know this about Belshazzar in the Old Testament who was found desecrating the only things of God.

That's why I say to all you young ministers everyone in this room never use the anointing. The word anointing you get a hamburger and McDonald's and you go. Oh, I feel the anointing man. I want to step away from people like that.

Don't ever play with the things of God. Don't ever play with the Holy Ghost. You're desecrating the things of God. You scare me young buck. You scare me ma 'am. When you play around with the Word of God like that.

Listen to what happened to this individual Belshazzar. Using the holy things of God in his party. Then he saw a handwriting on the wall and this is what was written. Many many take a whole person. This is the interpreter of the king.

Daniel said many God has numbered your kingdom and finished it. Peckle, they are weighed in the balances and art found wanting. But as thy kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and the Persians. Writing on the wall during a party.

God said it's over America in the middle of your party. God may show up. It's finished. Parties over or like Herod in Acts chapter 12 28 21. I'm telling you everyone will face judgment. He's arrayed in royal apparel he sat upon his throne and made an oration under the people and if the people gave a shout and said it is the voice of a god.

What will you do? What will you do when you have their adoration? What do you had doing? What will you do when you had their acclamation? What will you do when you have their attention people are looking at you?

I deal with us all the time folks because we lay hands on folks and they're hit by the power. This last week people bringing folks to me just throwing them in front of me. Touch him touch this grabbing him and pull him out of the crowd and say lay hands on her land people hit by the power of God.

And people going he's the man. He's the man. He's the one he's the one let me tell you as. The praises of God as the praises of man go up. You better go down. Get on your knees man. Don't receive any of that stuff take it from Herod.

But people gave a shout he loved it and the Bible says the angel of the Lord smote him and He gave because he gave not God the glory and he was eaten of worms. You want to be like Paul. You want to be ready for the judgment of God?

Readiness for Judgment and Faithful Service

Second Timothy 4 6 through 8. I am now ready to be offered in the time of my departure is at hand. I Have fought a good fight. I finished my course. I've kept the faith. Now there's laid up for me a crown of righteousness.

Ready for the judgment. Jim Elliott the great missionary statement. He was ready. He said when it comes time to die, make sure that's all you have to do. John Wesley was ready. Charles Finney was ready.

Keith Green. Leonard Ravenhill. Kenneth Hagan Senior was ready. Bill Bright was that these are all people that have gone on to be with the Lord. Evelyn Roberts. Rex Humbard. Jerry Falwell. Ruth Graham the list goes on and on dr. James Kennedy.

These are people that have died over the years and you can now add a bunch more to the list ready. Ready, I was with Bill right right before he died and laying on his bed. We went in there to pray with him at his apartment down in Orlando and laying on his bed were all these projects.

All the bed was covered with all these unfinished projects and here he was on a ventilator sucking in oxygen. And he was saying things like we got so much to do. And I said to brother Bill I said we'll take care of it man.

We'll take care of. He was so ready To die he just wanted to work more for the Lord. Oh, I wish that was everyone's story and the day of judgment Will be a day of perfect justice. The day of judgment will be a day of perfect justice.

Everyone say justice. This is based on fact, that's what justice is. What is morally and legally, right? The administration of what is right. Leonard Ravenhill said to me one day. He said at the judgment seat of Christ Steve all our fig leaves will drop off.

Everything that we're covering up with will drop. Because it's perfect justice. The wicked will be separated from the righteous like wheat from the chaff goats to the left sheeps to the right. Matthew chapter 25.

Every Secret Thing Will Be Revealed

The Bible says in Luke 12 3 Whatsoever you have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light and that which you have spoken in the ear and closet shall be Proclaimed upon the housetops for nothing is secret.

Luke 8 17. That shall not be made manifest. Neither anything hid that should not be known and come abroad. Yes, my friend justice will reign. All the evidence will be in. God is keeping a record. See man looks at the outward appearance.

1st Samuel 16 7, but God sees the heart. There's no secrets. I want to tell you there's a child Molester watching this right now. I want to tell you something. You have not gotten away with anything because one day.

One day you'll be called in and everything you did all the sodomy. All the acts that you did those people that have been destroyed, but they're still living but they have so many scars and pain and suffering.

Because of what you did to them. You didn't get away with a thing. Just because the law hasn't caught you doesn't mean God hasn't caught you. Take your time pastor Steve. This is important both sides of the story will be known.

Every hideous sin will be revealed. Every murderous thought will be known. Maybe you're in this room today and you've committed adultery 30 years ago. No one caught you. You're caught you're caught. You didn't get away with nothing.

There's always three witnesses the Father Son and Holy Ghost. They're always watching. Hmm, maybe somebody sent you this DVD. Maybe they bought it for you at a crusade or something and gave it to you and you're just sitting there trembling.

But what am I supposed to do man? Let's get right with Jesus. That's what you're supposed to do in this room. What am I supposed to do in just a few minutes you come to the Lord and you say forgive me watch me.

Thank God for grace everyone. They say thank God for grace. Man, I've been in front of worldly judges before ain't no fun. Standing before a judge and you know, you're guilty and I've one judge looked at me.

And he said this Steve Hill and I was facing four felonies. He goes this is against my better judgment. But I'm gonna probate you. And I said your honor he goes shut up. I've been busted 13 times. It was A Next case and he probates me to a program called team challenge.

Outreach ministries of Alabama then team challenge. And it was a miracle because I should have been thrown in prison for 25 years. Why can't they knew the story? I was guilty. You ever heard the phrase guilty as sin.

Every murderous thought will be known. Every perverted sexual act will be screamed out in the courtroom of God. All those one o 'clock in the morning internet visits. Wife is asleep. Kids are asleep. Just you in the study or maybe you at the back porch playing around with some girl.

All the phone. Little alcohol you got in your study. A little nip you take every now and then you think nobody can smell your breath. Guess what? God smells your breath. Hide that bottle from him. All lying stealing cheating fornication adultery hate.

Idolatrous act covenants act wagging tongue. Every act of slander. We talked about that just for a minute. Well, you better watch what comes out of your mouth. Hey sister, I'll talk to you bad and something here about Julie.

I Won't share something with you. We we can pray. Y 'all ever heard that I'll talk to you about Julie so we can pray for. How about just let's pray for Julie. Quit wagging your tongue. Quit spreading that garbage.

Hmm. That's not in my notes. That was for somebody here. For every unbeliever within the sound of my voice there's coming a day of perfect justice for every believer. There's coming a day of perfect justice.

What Will You Do With Jesus?

Those of you that don't know the Lord you're gonna be faced with the same question pilot was faced with in Matthew 1722 it says what shall I do then with Jesus which is called the Christ? You'll be judged for this message right here because I've already shared the only way to heaven is to the shed blood of Jesus.

The cross the blood that's the way in. So what are you gonna do with Jesus who was called the Christ? Some of you. You adorn your body with the cross. But you don't adore the Christ of the cross. And how many times I've watched Hollywood stars sitting there on camera with this big old cross.

Talking about their latest r-rated movie. I'm going what is that? Put something else on woman you have nothing to do with the cross. Let's get on it. You ask him in his Savior, but reject him as Lord.

You shun him over and over again. You'll be judged for what you did with your tongue. I'm just giving you some scriptures here. Then you can you don't yell at me. Don't look at me. I don't believe the Bible.

You've got a big problem. Let me tell you something about the Bible, let me tell you something about this book right here this. This is God. Yeah, but I know all the people that wrote it he uses man. That's amazing to me, but they penned it out as the Holy Ghost spoke to them.

They wrote. They wrote about things that was going to take place in the future they wrote about Judgment Day. And John was right and I saw Everyone and there was this great white drama that we're writing stuff going.

Ah. You don't believe that stuff. Let me tell you I stood before a judge one time and the judge said this. How do you play and I said not guilty your honor? Stupid Steve. It was a state of Alabama versus Steve.

I hated that man. Why can't it be Joe blow or somebody what a state of Alabama a whole state? I don't know the whole state Alabama this prosecuting attorney. He'd walk up your honor and He'd pull out this tablet and start reading Everything that I had done over the last two years.

They need to be real specific. He would say on April the 7th 1974 at 7 o 'clock in the evening Steve got out of his house and stepped into a blue Volkswagen and Drove over to when Dixie grocery store parked on the side a Man in a black van pulled up and I'm sitting.

I was trembling. Why? Stay a perfect justice my friend. And I'm trembling because they're reading my mail. God has read your mail my friend. He knows everything about you and they're sitting there reading them a lawyer.

Listen to that and he finally goes Done. He steps up to me goes Is this stuff true? And I said we need to talk. He takes me back into his chamber. You want to know what the lawyer said? He sticks his finger in my face and he says to this don't you ever Lie to me.

He said I'm trying to defend and now we're gonna lose this case. Because I could not find a technicality because I did not know it. So Matthew 12 36 through 37 you read it about your tongue every idle word.

Accountability for Works, Words, and Motives

You'll give it an account on Judgment Day all your words. Matthew 12 36 and 37 what you did with your time and your talents. 1st Corinthians 3 13 It shall be revealed by fire. Oh Fire hot fire hot fire burn fire melt away fire expose.

Everything that's not gold Leonard used to say to me when you stand before God at the judgment seat of Christ. Make sure you're not standing knee-deep in ashes. That means all your works were burned up.

Thought it was God. It wasn't God. You'll be held accountable for the truth. The Bible says in Psalm 14 1 the fool has said in their heart. There is no God. Now also on that final day, you will stand before a righteous judge who's holding an up-to-date journal.

Everyone say up-to-date journal. No, my friend. He is perfect. He hasn't skipped one day of recording the acts of mankind. Not only does he know the detail of every sin that you've committed but he was there and he witnessed it when it was being committed.

As I said, there's always three witnesses a father son and the Holy Ghost the judge of all the earth will do right? Man, you standing right there. The judge is right here in the he was there when you sin and you're trying to lie about it.

That's why the Bible says in Revelation 5 to who was worthy to open the book that judge is worthy. The man Jesus is worthy to open the book. Why he was there. You know listen up because you don't hear this kind of stuff.

I Want to tell you something folks you better get around stuff like this because this nation is just sliding Uncontrollably downhill and we're dragging the world with us. But thank God there's a new generation rising up that can whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I've read the word I've read that book and you guys ain't preaching the whole thing.

I believe. Oh or in Texas love. I Believe in love. I believe in grace and mercy and all this fun stuff and I believe in in all times of social work Philanthropy and feeding the poor and everything. I believe in all that.

But you can give millions to feed in the poor billions and die and go to hell and The poor will die and go to hell too. They just died and went to hell with a full belly. Ooh, we Bible says Revelation 20 verse 12 the dead were judged and all those things which were written in the book stay with me.

See, it doesn't matter what came out of the mouth of man down here. What matters is what comes out of the mouth of the Messiah up there? I Just wrote that this morning. It doesn't matter what comes out of the mouth of man down here someone could walk up you say you're awesome man.

You're a blessing. You're the best person on planet Earth. Need to get by yourself and go Jesus. Who am I? Take me not away from thy presence. Take not thy Holy Spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of Lord,.

I've learned how to wear a mask. I've learned how to play Christianity judge me. Oh God. But don't be too harsh on me. Work with me Jesus. Ooh I can feel his presence in this place on that day. I love this.

The Final Judgment Before the Righteous Judge

This is a God message. There will be no trial by jury. Look this way folks trial by jury. I'm gonna get the right people there. You know what? I'm talking about peers. People that love me. That's like you commit sin as a pastor and they take you and put you with a bunch of folks that love you they go.

Brother Steve, we know that you did this, but you know something we know that you got a good heart. So for three months, we're not gonna let you preach nowhere and after three this is going on right now folks in America.

For three months. You can't preach nobody after three months. You can go back out and start preaching again. Done that you shouldn't have laid in that bed with that woman bad boy. That's a jury of peers on that final day on That final day you'll stand before the one and only righteous judge.

There will be no go listen to the preacher. There will be no. Or listen to the teacher. I'm gonna talk to you today about Judgment Day. That's impossible folks. There's coming a really really really bad day.

That could be a good day. If you're a good person one loves folks like I love folks folks. I love people in our crusades you see me in here. I get on my hands and knees on a dirt floor man, put my arms around some kid pray over them.

I love people. Why is it that people love us so much and they do because we're real we're honest. Why is it when we hold a two-day crusade the first night people oh my god the next night they're there with six friends.

Why? Because I know if they can get them underneath this type of fire. That they'll get saved. There's people here today that have been brought just for this service. There'll be no group of men and women there to smooze and Sweet talk.

Your girlfriend or your boyfriend won't be there to lean on. Your mommy and your daddy won't be permitted to stand with you as character witnesses, you know. Mom was always gonna say something good about you.

Character witnesses. The judge is looking. He knows you're a slimeback. But mommy's there going he's a good in his heart. He's a good boy. He's just going through a season. You know season of robbing people, you know holding up banks.

It's just a face. She's she's just so she's sleeping around a little bit. She's only 15. She'll probably grow out of it. There'll be no shoulder to cry on. No final argument. No counsel to defend you.

No high-paid famous flamboyant clever defense lawyer. To get you off on a technicality. No one will come racing into the courtroom at the last minute like in the movies. To free you from your certain fate.

There'll be no jury to sway. Wink it. You're all alone exposed. Before the judge of the universe. There's no appeals. No retrials. No pleading insanity. Look, no pleading to a lesser charge. No mistrial no hung jury no parole.

The Bible says in Hebrews 1031. It's a fearful thing to fall into the hands of a living God. Now many of you know I carry with me everywhere everywhere in the world here at this church everywhere I go I preach.

I carry this. This is a copy of Jonathan Edwards sinners in the hands of an angry God. This is an old old copy. My brother George. He's here today gave me this back in 1741. He says this. I'm just preaching just a portion of it.

And this is all found in he it's out of this the foot their foot shall slide in due time. Talking about the sinners their foot shall slide in due time. Deuteronomy 32 35. He said the wrath of God is like great waters that are damned up for the present.
