I preach in a lot of different circles. All of them Baptist, some of them loosely Baptist. But oftentimes in conferences that I preach in, they assign me a topic to preach on. Sometimes you get micromanaging preachers, assign you a topic and a text to preach their topic from, and a time limit in which you shall accomplish it. And I hate it when they do that. I got a conference. I don't tell anybody what to preach. This conference here, the guy had a great topic. I thought it was a great thing. And he asked me to help him plan it out. And so I tried to help him find some preachers. And he wanted to do an entire conference on the last verse of great is thy faithfulness. I thought, boy, that's a great idea. He said, I need a man to preach pardon for sin and a peace that endureth. I said, how about we get Randy Bain to come in and do that? He said, alright, that's good. And he said, I need somebody to preach thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide. I said, oh man. I said, I know a fella, Alan Nelson. He said, yeah, let's get him to do that. He knew Alan real well. He was a good friend of his. He said, I need someone to preach strength for today and a bright hope for tomorrow. I said, I think Michael Sanchez would be a good guy. He said, I do too. This guy's from Nevada. He hadn't lived around. He don't know a lot of people. He never held a conference before. And he said, I want you to do blessings on mine with 10,000 besides. I was like, okay. Man, that's fine. He said, now they'll all preach first. We'll have lunch and then you'll preach. I said, okay, that sounds good. And I got off the phone with him. And I said, Lord, How are you going to preach after lunch on 10,000 blessings to a group of Baptists that just laid three briskets and a pile of pulled pork? And I started thinking and pondering and thinking and pondering. And the longer I thought, the more depressed I got. And I said, you know, I'm just going to pray. I'm trying to reason this out with the logic of Harold Smith. And you know how far I got with that. I backed up and I got down on my knees and I said, God, they've put me in a hard spot and I don't know what to do about it. I said, I need help. I've got a topic that I've never pondered before. Lord, help me to ponder on this and find something to preach out of it. And I got up, I mean I literally got up off my knees, and four thoughts popped in my head. I said, thank you Lord, I got a sermon. I wrote down the four thoughts, and another thought, and another thought, and another thought, and another thought, and another thought. And I said, let's just multiple choice. I had about ten or twelve thoughts on a piece of paper. I said, I'll pick the three best, and I got me a sermon. I started looking at them, I got another thought. Each thought had a Bible verse attached. This went on for a while. I mean, like 20 minutes. The phone rang. It was a preacher. He said, what are you doing? I said, man, I'm writing out a 30 point message. He said, I don't think anybody's ever preached a 30 point message. I said, this old boy ain't. I said, but I got a 30 point sermon and God wants me to preach all 30 points. He said, I want to come hear that. I said, I'm really scared. I don't think I could do that. God, if you know me, I preach off a little note card. I have three or four thoughts written down. I don't have 30 points, 40 Bible verses. He said, I'll be praying for you. I hung up the phone. I got another thought, another thought. Another thought. I want to preach a 60 point message to you this morning. On blessings all mine with 10,000 besides. And I want to do it in the time limit that the pastor has given me. I know you've had breakfast. I know you've heard a good sermon. I know you're going to hear another one. I'm so busy I don't even have time to take pot shots at Tom Gillum. I just got time to preach and that's it. I've put all these under seven headings. All blessings flow out of Christ Jesus. Number one, I have an express person. Hebrews 1, 3. Who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person. The upholding of all things by the word of His power. When He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of His majesty on high. I've got the express person of God. If you want to know what God looks like, He looks like Jesus Christ. When you get into heaven, you'll look at the express person. You'll see a God that is 100% God and 100% man. And that's my God, Jesus Christ, the express person. I enter in His presence. How's that for a blessing? I can enter the presence of God. Did Brother Stacy not do such a great job with that last night? We can be in the presence of God right now. Hebrews 4.16, Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. We're invited into the presence of God. I have the entire portion. The entire portion. I didn't get a little bit of God. I didn't get a totem pole and I put God on top. I didn't add Him to my plethora of gods already. I got all of God and God's all I need. He's the entire portion. It's it. It's Christ or nothing. It's not Christ and anybody else. It's Him and Him alone. Colossians 2, 9 and 10. For in Him dwelleth the fullness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in Him which is the head of all principality and power. I'm esteemed as precious. I'm esteemed as precious. My God considers me a treasure. I know you look at me and kind of laugh about that so you don't look like much to me. You're not my God. I don't care what you think. I got over that a long time ago. Too many people told me what they thought. I had to get thick skinned and look at me. Huh? You think I'm fat? I'm thick skinned. I can take it. I'm esteemed as precious, greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. My God died for me, how precious could I possibly be? My God died for me. I'm encompassed in his petition. John 17, 20, neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word. When He stopped on the way to the garden and said, boys, let us pray, He wasn't just praying for them eleven. He had Harold Smith in the prayer. How do you know you were in the prayer? I'm believing the same gospel that they preached. And they're preaching the same gospel that He gave. Therefore, He prayed for those of us, brothers, who believe on that same gospel. Now, if you're believing in the Mormon gospel, He wasn't praying for you. If you're believing in the Jehovah's Witness gospel, He wasn't praying for you. But I'm believing in the Apostles gospel, and He's praying for me. I'm talking about I got 10,000 blessings. They're all mine. They're all mine. I'm encompassed in his petition. I'm engraved in his palms. Well, there's one, ain't it? Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands. The walls are continually before me. Oh, preacher, he's not talking about you. He's talking about Israel. We're the church, that's Israel. It's all right, host, I'm also etched in parchment. Luke 20 10, nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are recorded in heaven. You ever write something on your palm so you can remember it? Well, God didn't do that because he was forgetting me. He wrote my name down in a book. titled the Lamb's Book of Life, which was slain before the foundation of the world. My name was there before I was here. Put that in your theological pipe and smoke on it a while. I don't know how that works. But that blessing's all mine. I'm talking about blessings that are mine. You might, I don't believe that. There's a new name written down in glory. I'm an old name. I'm an old name. I've got an elevated position. He hath raised us up together and made us to sit in heavenly places with Christ Jesus. I like that blessing, don't you? I'm in the echelon of the peculiar. Titus 2.14, who gave himself for us that he might redeem us from all iniquity and purify unto himself a peculiar people. I'm zealous for good works. He's got the whole world in His hands, but He's got a peculiar people that He calls His own. We're pilgrims here. We're sojourners. We're looking for a city that has a foundation whose builder and maker is God. I'm in the echelon of the peculiar. So all these are under the express person. Number two, I have an exalted priest. Hebrews 7.26, For such a high priest became us. who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, made higher than the heavens. Man. Well, what do you get with an exalted priest like that, Harold? Well, number one, I've escaped prison. I've escaped prison. The Son, therefore, shall make you free, shall be free indeed. You ever see them movies where they escape prison and they're running? And they think they got away and they build them a fire and they're kicked back. Boy, it feels good to be out the slammer. And they hear them bloodhounds on their trail. They're honest. And they're up and they're running. Well, see, I've escaped prison because Christ has made me free. But here's a blessing that I also have. I've got an exonerated past. You see, when I got out of jail, I'm not on the run. Son, I've been forgiven. It's all been paid for. It's been marked out is what I'm trying to tell you. There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit. I was emancipated at His passing. When He died on the cross, I was set free. They say, oh brother Harold, that's not that way. Yeah. But I didn't contribute anything to my emancipation. My freedom was not, it wasn't me and God together. We didn't grab hands and say, let's work this out. We didn't sign a peace treaty together, he and I. He saved me. I like that. That's a blessing I like. I have an effectual propitiation. It worked for me. Whom God has set forth to be the propitiation through faith in his blood to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are passed through the forbearance of God. I have an exact payment. That's a good blessing. I had to learn exact payment as a child. My mother said, here's $2 for you to buy a toy with. Found a toy that was $1.99. I thought I'd get a penny back. I go to the register, I lay my toy down, I lay my $2 down. She says, that'll be $2.22. No, it's $1.99. No, it's tax time. I had to put the toy back because I didn't have enough. So I went to mom and said, can I have more? She said, no, $2 is what you get. I had to settle for something less. When it come to Christ, I got an exact payment. For He hath made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him. I like that. I can set it on the counter and say, it's paid for. I owed for sin, He became sin, I got righteousness, paid for. I've exchanged punishments. Boy, there's one. I remember when I got that one, when I was doing my fast writing, exchanging punishments. I should have been on the cross. That's what I deserved. He doesn't give me what I deserve. He gives me what I don't deserve. He was wounded for our transgressions. He was bruised for our iniquities. The chastisement of our peace was upon him. With his stripes we're healed. I tell you, I like having an exalted priest and I like having his express person. Number three, I have an endless provider. An endless provider. but my God shall supply all of your needs according to his riches in glory. Philippians 4.19. Wonder what all means in the Greek there. Wonder what needs mean in the Greek. Wonder what the Latin Vulgate reads on that. I'll lay out some earthly provisions. There's your blessing. Therefore take no thought, saying, what shall we eat or what shall we drink? Boy, I struggle with this, you know it. What am I going to wear? I don't have a tie. What am I going to wear? Struggle through it. Take no thought, saying, what shall we eat or what shall we drink? Or wherewithal shall we be clothed? For after all these do the Gentiles seek. Your heavenly Father knoweth what you have need of all these things. Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness. All these things will be added unto you. I've never had to wonder and worry about going naked. You looked at me one time and said, He's never missed a meal. Why? My God supplies all my needs. I've got earthly provisions, but I've got an eternal perspective. I'm not worried about the earthly things. I'm setting my affections on things above and not on the things of the earth. Colossians 3. I've got an everlasting promise. An everlasting promise. Romans 4.21 being fully assured that what God had promised was also able to perform. Same faith that Abraham had. As Michael told us, it's the same faith that God grants to us. Because it's not of ourselves, it is the gift of God, lest any man should boast. If you're saved, you're saved as Abraham is. I don't know what that does to your theology, but that helps me. I've got an everlasting promise. I'm embellished with presents. My God doesn't get out a tablespoon and dip into provisions and rake it all flush and go, well, Harold, there's your portion. My God opens up the Lucky Charms box and pours my bowl till the cereal overflows over the top and I've got more than I could possibly use. I've got more than I need. I've got things I don't want. I've got nice stuff that I didn't ask for, that I didn't seek, that God just kept pouring all over Harold Smith. He's embellished me with presents. I like that passage in the Old Testament. He prepared us a table before me in the presence of mine enemies. He anointed my head with oil and my cup runneth over. That's what he does for me. Look, let's just pause. It's a long sermon. Let's take a deep breath here. These blessings are all mine. Remember my text? These are my blessings. I'm praying if I point them out, you'd say, oh brother Harold, those are my blessings too. I don't know what this does for you, but I know what this does for me. We ain't but 25 points deep in this and I'm happy already. I'm embellished with presents. I'm an expert in providence. I wasn't an expert in providence when I started. Oh God, why me? It's not what I prayed for. Oh, I thought you said if I ask it, you'd give it. I'll give it, but I'll give you what you need. And I'll give you when you need it. And I won't withhold any good gift from you. That's what it means to be an expert in providence. Paul wrote it this way in Philippians 4.12, I know how to be abased and I know how to abound. Everywhere and all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry. both to abound and to suffer need. When you become an expert in providence, you'll be doing a whole lot less of, oh God, why me? And start saying, you must have a better plan. There's no shortcut to becoming an expert in providence. So I've got an express person, number one, an exalted priest, number two, endless provider, number three, number four, I've got an enduring protector. John 10, 28, I give them eternal life and they shall never perish. Neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. I got in an argument with an Assembly of God fellow one time. And I said, nobody can pluck me out of God's hand. He said, you can get out of God's hand. He said, nobody else could. I said, my stars, why would you want out of God's hand? If you've ever been in the hand of God, you don't want out. I grab them fingers and I pull up, staying right here. Here's my heart, Lord, take and seal it. Seal it for thy courts above. I don't want out of here. If I start wiggling, you just tench down on me and keep me right here. Amen. Crawling out of God's hand, what kind of a weirdo? I said he was assembly of God. We covered that. I'm embraced in His protection. No weapon formed against thee shall prosper. And every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. That's for Israel. I'm not done reading. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord. That blessing's mine. I'm embraced in His protection. Here's a good one. You'll like this one. I like it. My enemies perish. My enemies perish. Jesus said in Luke 18, 7 and 8, And shall not God avenge his own elect when they cry day and night unto him? Though he bear long with them, I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. I get upset. I want to take things into my own hands. I just have to know my God's taking care of my enemies. I need my job to go fighting them. I'm encouraged to persevere. Galatians 6 and 9. Let us not be weary in well doing for in due season we shall reap if we faint not. Agree with that one? We'll move to the next one. I've got an escort for the passage. I live on Arkansas River. Sometimes when I'm fishing, a barge will come through, and he'll have four or five barges deep. He'll be about two barges, three barges wide. In our area, it's just old deep, slow rolling Arkansas River, and he'll go. But I was up in northern Michigan a little while back. And up there, when you come out of one great lake into another, the water's swift and it's current. And them barges up there is a half mile long, and the engine's in the back. And that water's a-whippin' like this, and if the front of that barge ever gets out of the way, the current'll catch it, and it'll send that barge spiraling down the river. And so, that barge driver will call ahead and say, I need an escort for the passage. And that escort will come in the form of a tugboat. He won't go back to the engine where the pilot's at. He'll get up there on the nose of the boat and steer it for him. When that boat wants to go a little bit here, that tugboat will lean into it and push him back out there. And sometimes a tugboat will get on this side and this escort for the passage is available to me. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you in all truth, and he shall speak not of himself, but whatsoever he shall hear, of that shall he speak, and he shall show you things to come. I don't know what that does to a cessationist, but it changed my viewpoint on the topic. The Spirit of God is able to guide me through rough waters and tell me what's coming ahead. He shows up when I need Him. He's there even when I don't know it. I got worried about rapids. I don't need to worry about other boats on the river. I got an escort for the passage. I have an enlightened path. I'm not groping around in the dark. Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. I'm endued with power. But ye shall receive power after the Holy Ghost has come upon you. You shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria and the uttermost parts of the earth. I know it's a mixed crowd. This is my opinion. You don't have to believe like me. I love you anyways. I believe the church predates the day of Pentecost. I believe the church was empowered on the day of Pentecost. So people would read that verse, that Acts 1 and 8 and say, don't apply to you, apply to the apostles. You've never been to Judea or Samaria. I'm like, I'm the uttermost parts of the earth guy. I live in the backwoods of Arkansas. Ain't nobody going where I'm at. It applies to me. I don't think it applies, I think exegetically. I don't think you can make those things work. I read the next chapter, then Peter said unto them, repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Same one that's empowering them, same one that's empowering Harold Smith. That blessing's mine. I don't know if that's your blessing. That does me some good. I've got energy to pursue. You know this one, they put it on t-shirts. The day that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings of eagles. They shall run and not be weary. They shall walk and not grow faint. I'm edified by preaching. I'm edified by preaching. I've heard some great preaching. I drove a long ways just to hear great preaching. Why? Because God has saw for us to be edified by preaching. People accuse me of preaching too long. I'm like, I listen to more sermons than you do. I know what long preaching is. 1 Corinthians 1.18, for the preaching of the cross is foolishness to them that perish. But unto them which are saved, Wait a minute. What? Wait a minute. Back up. I don't know if you've ever read it this slow. But unto us which are saved. That means we're already saved. We've already heard the gospel. We've already believed in the cross. We've already had our one time repentance and we've become repenters. For those which are saved. What? It is the power of God. I've got an enduring protector, and believe it or not, he protects me through preaching. Not me doing it, but me hearing it. Number five, I've got an example of perfection. Think about Christ under this as being the example of perfection. John 13, 34, a new commandment I give unto you, that you love one another as I loved you, that you also love one another. So Brother Harold, that's an old commandment. That's the second greatest commandment. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, strength and love your neighbor as yourself. That is the old commandment. The new commandment is this. That you're to love your neighbor as Christ loved you. That's a whole new level. You see, Christ loved me more than I love me. Christ laid down His life for me. You remember back in the 80s when they come out with them big foam number one fingers? And every team had the big foam, we're number one, we're number one. My dad worked for Pepsi-Cola and me and my brother sword-fighted with the big number one fingers. We had a dozen or more of them. I got me a sermon illustration. Every person comes out of the womb with a big old giant number one finger. I'm number one. I'm number one. I'm number one. But the Christian comes out of his spiritual womb saying, I'm number two. He's number one and he loved me and I love you like he loved me and I'll fall short and repent and try to love you again the way he loved me. I'm talking about an example of perfection. I'm elected to philanthropy. Everybody likes to talk about election, don't they? This is proof that I didn't make this sermon up. I wouldn't use the word philanthropy. I don't know if that's ever arised in a sermon of mine before. Philanthropy means brotherly love. The election that I have is to love my fellow man. Well, why don't they talk about this in the Calvinist conference? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, we're elected, but here's what it looks like, not here's what it talks like. John 13, 35, by this shall all men know that you are my disciples if you have love one for another. That's how everybody else knows you're a Christian. They don't care about the date in your Bible. They don't care what preacher signed it. They don't care that you kept a cup of sawdust off the floor from the day it happened. If you don't look like a Christian, act like a Christian, talk like a Christian, I think you're a liar. You love the church, you love your pastor, you love your neighbor down the street, you love that mean old woman down at the dollar, well, I don't know if you got a mean old woman at your dollar store, we got one at ours, and we love her anyways, because we're Christians. We've been elected to do that. Before the foundation of the world, we were called out to love our enemies. That's the kind of election preaching we need these days. My excellence, my excellence is predestined. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which he hath before our name, that we should walk in them. Sometimes we get hung up on Ephesians 2, 8, and 9, and we drop off before we hit verse 10. We don't start electing some feet to these souls, there's no good for them. I have established patterns. I have the example of perfection in Christ, but I have established patterns, plural. 1 Corinthians 11 1b, ye followers of me, as I also am of Christ. Paul said, follow Christ, follow me. So I don't know about following Paul. He said a lot of stuff I didn't like. We got Hebrews 11. We're encompassed about by a great cloud of witnesses. I don't think they're in heaven peeking through the clouds wondering what we're doing. I think they're preoccupied. I think the witnesses are really martyrs and we've got a bunch of examples in which we should follow, starting with righteous Abel. I'm on the express way of piety. I'm talking about blessings that are mine. Come unto me. No, that's my easy plow. We'll do that one right now. I got an easy plow. Come unto me, all you that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn of me, for I'm meek and lowly of heart. You shall find rest for your souls. I don't know how well you know farming life, but you can get a big tractor and a big plow. And the key here is to tune that plow to the right depth to turn the soil over. Tune the gears on that tractor to have the right RPMs without slipping the tires so that you're moving along at the right place for that plow to work. But occasionally, you'll hit a clay spot. And that plow, when it hits something hard, it don't pop out. It digs down. And when it starts digging down, them tires are still trying to go at the same speed because these don't have gas pedals on them. They got throttles. The tires start turning and now your tires drop down because they're spinning. And the tires have got to climb up and get out and the pile is going down and down and down. And if you're not careful, you'll be stuck. Jesus didn't say come unto me and put your shoulder this plow and run your nose in the dirt and dig your feet in and wallow in the mud. He said my yoke is easy and my burden is light. I came to Christ and put it on and I was as happy as I could be. Wasn't a burden to me. I'm on the express way to piety I said. I bogged down in the mud there for a minute. For whom He did foreknow, He did also predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren." Establish patterns, an easy plow. I'm educated in His precepts. I'm not educated in school, that's evident. But the Lord has shown me a few things in His Word. Why? Not because I'm smarter than the average bear, but because that's what He's determined to do. Sanctify them through Thy truth. Thy Word is truth. Somebody said it earlier in this meeting. If you're just reading books and you're not reading the book, you're not getting what the Lord has prepared for you. I have extensive prophecies. Well, I've got to go fast. which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, but is now revealed by His holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit. I've got things that I can see and understand that my forefathers didn't understand. Number six, I've got an experienced pilot. Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of God. I've got Jesus leading me as these blessings go. I'm equipped for prayer, wherefore He is able to save them to the uttermost that come unto Him by God. Come unto God by Him, seeing that He ever liveth to make intercession for them. So I'm equipped for prayer, I knew God had a bunch of fishing tackle and nowhere to fish. I'm also entreated to pray. Whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do. And the Father may be glorified in the Son. And if ye ask anything in my name, I will do it. Here's a good one. I know we're on like, I don't know, 49. I got executive privilege. I can walk into the CEO's office. I don't have to make an appointment with the secretary. I don't have to go through security. I don't have to wait. Have you ever been to the doctor and just got right in? I don't sit out there and wait two hours to see him for a five minute consultation. I've got executive privilege. I can go right in and talk to him. Why? Because the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous and his ears are upon their prayers and the face of the Lord is against them that do evil. I'm enriched by a paraclete. Romans 8, 26 and 27, likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities. I extol praise, Isaiah 43, 21, this people have I formed for myself that they show forth my praise. I'm employed in the priesthood to your chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people that you should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness and into his marvelous light. I think the priesthood is talking to Christians, not preachers. I'm entrusted with the pulpit. He gave some apostles, some prophets, and some evangelists, and some pastor-teachers. I have an edict to proclaim. At times of your ignorance, God winked at, but now hath commanded all men everywhere to repent. Steve Anderson is the brother mentioned, popular in Australia. Steve Anderson is a graduate of Hiles Anderson College. That's where the doctrine of salvation without repentance comes from. I have an explanation for the problem. This is a blessing. Have you ever had a problem you couldn't figure out? Alright, Brother Harold, what's the problem? What's the explanation? As it is written, there's none righteous, no, not one. There's none that understandeth, there's none that seeketh after God. I got time to take a pot shot at Tom Gillum before this is over after all. I'm not watching Fox News. I know what the problem is, they're lost. The world is lost. Can you believe what Joe Biden did? Yep, he's lost. Have you heard? Yep, they're lost. I know it. I know it. But here's the good news. This is a blessing too. I've got evangelistic potential. As many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name. The solution to the problem is the gospel. I've got elements to partake. We're almost done. I've got elements to partake. Lest I forget, as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you do show forth. Death until he come. The Lord's death until he come. I've got an ear for the preacher. Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings. The years of thy life shall be many. I've got an eye on the prize, looking for the blessed hope and the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ. Number seven. That's the last category we got. Well, you missed a good opportunity to say amen. Oh, no. This is going to put me on the wrong side of Stacey Lane. But it's too late to change my outline. I'm engaged to a prince.
