Where Will You Be When the Door Closes? [Ralph Martin]

[@glennlanham6309]

Keep preaching it Ralph!! You and Mark Mallett are keeping me going in these very dark days...

[@lusttravel1247]

Thanks Ralph. You are the Catholic grandfather many wish they had, offering kindness and guidance in a confusing world

[@sisterb8688]

I was raised in Poland and I received exactly the same interpretation of the parables! I teach it here in the USA but the reaction I receive is like I had 7 heads. Thank you. Now I have an American theologian who is my back.

[@patrick.7326]

Those who do not walk through the gates of My Mercy, will walk through the gates of My justice, JESUS.

[@tolkienlewis6887]

Wonderful true words we too rarely hear in our Church.

[@cliffbarber1642]

Billy Graham in his homilies used to say we should preach urgency. He also said the most important word in the English language is NOW! ”(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, And in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)“ ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭6‬:‭2‬

[@cathymiller6670]

Thank you, Ralph, for this direct, clear message to call us on in Christ's love and holiness!! Blessings to you and your family!🙏

[@day1678]

Love the Blessed Mother! Never, ever let go of her guiding hand that will lead us to Jesus. Pray as never before - especially the Rosary (daily) for her intentions.

[@petergala2147]

God bless you Dr. Martin this CHRISTMAS and same for your channel subscribers from Krakow Poland and Chicago USA !

[@annwalder4741]

Keep moving us boldly forward, Ralph Martin and team 🙏🏻 Thank you!

[@barbarag7323]

This was a great reflection. Thanks Ralph!

[@5150show]

Absolutely brilliant,,thank you . Your book The Fulfilment of all Desire is one of my favourite books ever .

[@williamgamble3379]

I am baffled to understand how there can be over 9,600 views at the time I saw this and 781 likes. What is not to like?

[@markjames60]

God bless you, Ralph. I first encountered you in the early days of your television ministry. And I am so grateful that you have stayed the course and been a strong compassionate voice for Jesus all these years.

[@Philip-f1m]

Such a simple yet powerful homily/wake up call! “We” all know the door will close yet we so willingly choose to believe it will not close until we are ready! I fear God because I don’t know if he will know me. Such a frightening thought.

[@fionaobrien5683]

Hence the Fatima prayer after each decade of the Roary, 'Oh my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, lead all souls to Heaven, especially those who are most in need of thy mercy.' Never give up hope!

[@patrick.7326]

JESUS I TRUST IN YOU

[@mikebolognese7134]

Why is there no sense of urgency in our homilies? For the sake of being pastoral we’ve taken all boldness from our preaching. The call to repentance is absent.

[@lauravoss9213]

I trust.

[@petersaines2048]

SPOT ON. Thank you Ralph. I'm sharing this!!!!

[@rubicon2288]

Love it when you talk about the narrow door

[@glorialabella6361]

Thank you for this important message. Ma y we be forewarned! 🙏🎚🙏 12:29

[@dianelink-urtz4698]

Thank you Ralph. ❤❤❤

[@-GodIsMyJudge-]

God bless you for the poignant reminder. We must all work out our salvation with fear and trembling, especially in the modern world with its additional distractions and temptations. I pray that all who hear take this to heart and also lovingly remind friends and loved ones (really anyone willing to listen) of the gravity of our predicament. God truly desires that all might be saved but we must all endeavor to continue cooperating with His grace. May God have mercy on us all!! 🙏✝️🕊️

[@jonibird6126]

So we can't get into heaven on the coat tails of a holy person... I don't know how many times ive said this about my precious adult disabled son!❤ My blessed pastor has said to aim not for purgatory but for heaven! Thank you Lord! God is good 😊

[@JackieKeilthy]

God bless you Ralph Thank you so much for your ministry ❣️🕊️🙏🏾

[@bobgresko6140]

Thank you so much for your clear, simple, concise, authoritative teachings. Please keep fighting the good fight.

[@geegaw1535]

Inside with Jesus Jesus is the reason for the season. Merry and Blessed Christmas everyone ❤❤❤

[@lindaannfumea304]

A reminder to keep praying to our Heavenly Father to reach not only the lost but those who have lost their way.

[@DavGre]

People seem happy to think that they’re going to Heaven and content with doing the bare minimum to maintain a state of grace but not much else. However, those who truly love God know that it is better to do the Will of God on Earth (with all its suffering) than it is to just die in a state of grace hoping to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. The suffering NOW will make the entrance much more sweet.

[@gustavomartin2]

Voice crying in the desert, but Jesus is with you.

[@nancya8262]

Thank you Dr. Martin, these are challenging times and the news today from the Vatican will only further exacerbates the confusion and undoubtedly lead many more astray. I pray your message is heard far and wide as it is really the only message we should be contemplating and the true motivator for sincere repentance. May God continue to bless your outstanding ministry.

[@amysill3815]

Thank you for your words of wisdom during this very challenging time. God’s will be done.

[@rpaw8344]

✨Hail Full of Grace ✨❤️✨Thank you Ralph for your words of truth!✨🙏🏼✨

[@maggieb5326]

Praise God! Thank you Ralph for this holy warning. May we all strive to enter in while the door is open. Jesus agonized for us. He strived to bring salvation to each of us. We must respond to his agonized work of salvation! Merry Christmas 🕊️🎄🌹

[@daniellittle3547]

Excellent talk Ralph! Keep on!!

[@Kelpie119]

Timely reminder Lord we Trust in You Thanks Ralph 😊

[@johantrenier1685]

Powerful, every day the liturgy reminds us of this. God is not talking just to talk. Have a respectful love and fear of God. Thank you Dr. Martin. Interesting day. Merry Christmas!

[@vivianbunch1963]

Amen!

[@conniestacken7253]

Thank you & God Richly Bless you for this eye opening message. May I ask for a prayer for my family to believe & have a relationship with Jesus Christ? He is the Greatest gift of all ❤️

[@barrymeadows6737]

Amen. Dear Lord please help us.

[@theresebenedict870]

Thank you for having the courage to teach the truth! If only more in the church would speak the truth. I’m not sure if many know or will acknowledge the truth anymore. Pilate asked the LORD “What is truth?” Have we regressed to an understanding of reality that existed in the pre-Christian era?

[@cherylwhitaker8902]

Powerful message! Thank you

[@resist4god]

Thank you, Ralph and Renewal Ministries! God bless you!🙏🙏🙏

[@tonybuck1225]

Where is this broad and pleasant way that leads to Destruction ? All around me, I see millions of people (many permanently damaged by broken family backgrounds) tormented by financial insecurity, anxiety, terror of the future, gloom, near-despair.

Presumption leads to Rejection

[@foryou-ft8vf]

There is One Way and narrow is The Way Who is Jesus Christ, The Way to know AND to LIVE His Commandments. To be filled with the Holy Spirit we walk daily with Him Who dwells IN us, and Christ KNOWS US and we know Him! But wide is the way to destruction and there are countless paths of the world on that wide way, to follow the world to all the temptations and deceptions of destruction.

[@bradyandjodi1]

Amen.

[@terryfernando2030]

Ralph, for your message to be taken seriously, you must also talk specifically what happens to people who reject the Gospel and the baptized who die in sin. It is only when people are warned about hell, that they will take note. You see, in my lifetime (@77yrs), I have never heard a single bishop of our Catholic Church preach the Gospel as a life and death issue, even though the martyrs died terrible deaths for it because there is no other way to be saved. I mean, is that not what St Peter said to devout Jews in Jerusalem, warning them of the fatal consequences if they did not accept the Gospel and thus many came to believe in Jesus? >>>

[@martharichardson3155]

Ralph, what about those who are on the wrong side as in Rev 22:14 . I have read one transaction that says those who are afraid to tell the truth are called "cowards".

[@davidpellegrini4266]

Ralph I gew up a catholic . I played my guitar at folk masses in the 60s. I was an altar boy I attended Catholic School. I was involved in the Catholic Charmstic renewal . I never hsd assurance of my salvation till I was in the air force I read The book the cross and the Switch blade by David Wilkerson. I was on my hands and knees seeking forgivness for my sins. I had a new relationship with Jesus. I was born again that day and I knew I was forgiven for all my sins I had power to live for him. Jesus came to forgive us love us and take us to heaven when we die. My focus is on pleasing Jesus. Yes we cannot affirm people in their sins. God tells us what is right and wrong . God does not love sin. Love cannot rejoice in wrong doing. We cannot attend gay weddings. We do have to judge what Christians do and say as Paul says. Telling people the truth in love is love . I read most of your books. I appreciate you and your ministry . You always stand with the truth and Jesus. As long as we repent of sin and trust in rely on adere to and believe in Jesus with our whole heart we are guaranteed our home in heaven. Salvation is wrapped up in Jesus alone. He loves us. Any one who calls on the Name of Jesus will be saved. Sex is between a man and woman in marriage alone. Everything else is sin. God made us male and female . There is no fluid gender. We are all born sinners and we all need Jesus. He came to set us free from the wages of sin which is death. Run from sin and pursue holiness. Be filled with his spirit. I have come to believe in a what is called the rapture of the church. 1 Cor 4:16. Its called the catching away of the believers to be with the lord in the air. Rev 3:10 says Jesus ti the overcomers the believers he will keep us from the hour of testing coming upon the whole world . I am looking up for Jesus. Thanks Ralph.

[@DarleneAuthement-kc6re]

Amen🩸🙏♥️

[@rosemaryjones9464]

Gulp!!!

[@tonybuck1225]

Where is this broad and easy way that leads to Destruction ? All around me, I see millions of people sunk in gloom, near-despair, anxiety, financial insecurity, terror of the future. Even their hedonism is desperate. Millions of people have been permanently wounded by broken family backgrounds. May I suggest that Religious People are living in an Ivory Tower, cut off from the reality endured by the general population ?

[@JudeThaddeus1]

Why can’t we hear clear teaching leading to salvation from the pulpit (or from the Vatican)? All we get is confusion and word salad trying to justify blessing sin. Maybe the Byzantine Eastern Catholic Churches are the way to go. The Ukranian Greek Catholic Church came out and said “NO” to Fiducia Supplicans. African and Polish bishops are standing strong against this heresy also.
