In a passionate and urgent message, Richard Lorenzo Jr. is sounding the alarm to those still undecided about their faith in Jesus Christ. Speaking from a place of love and deep conviction, he warns listeners that life is not guaranteed—and for some, this may be their final opportunity to respond to the gospel.

“For some of you…this might be your last warning,” he declares. “You don’t know if today, tomorrow, in a few hours or minutes is even promised.”
The message is not one of fear, but of sincere love and urgency. “God is so good. His mercy is so good. His grace is so good. He wishes that none would perish, but that all would come to repentance and truly put their faith in the gospel.”

Referencing Romans 10:9, Lorenzo reminds viewers that salvation requires more than head knowledge, it requires heart surrender. “This walk in Christ is not just about believing that Jesus is God. The demons believe that, and they tremble. It’s full-on submission and surrender. Doesn’t mean you’re going to be perfect… but it’s the heart.”
He laments the deception found in lukewarm religion, where many claim to follow Christ without fully submitting to His Lordship. “They think they believe in Jesus, but they’re believing in a Jesus that’s not the Jesus of the gospel. It’s a Jesus that caters to the lukewarm, compromised church.”
Lorenzo speaks from personal experience, recalling the night he encountered the tangible presence of God in his apartment. “Dec. 1, 2019… when He came into my room, His presence, a light—Jesus, God—when He entered my room and filled me and delivered me, I experienced Him. I got up and I hated the things I used to love.”
Lorenzo doesn’t sugarcoat the journey of walking with Christ, admitting that there are battles and seasons of testing. “There were times where I fell, where I cried out to God not knowing what to do. But even when you don’t feel like it, you need to open up your mouth and praise the King.”

Ultimately, he confronts the reality of eternity. “We’re all going to an eternal realm. The question is, where are you going? Are you going to heaven with Jesus, or are you going to hell—the lake of fire? Heaven and hell are real places. This is not a joke.”
This may be the final call for many, a last warning to examine your heart, your faith and your walk with God. The time for compromise is over. Heaven and hell are real, and eternity hangs in the balance. Now is the moment to turn fully to Jesus, not just in word, but in total surrender.
