Now, they rebelled against the man of God. They rebelled against the Word of God. And they rebelled against the worship of God. You read the whole chapter. And verse 19, And Corrie gathered all the congregation against him in the door of the tabernacle of glory. Verse 20, And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, separate yourself from my congregation, that I may consume them in a moment." Now, dear heart, God is not always a God of love. God gets angry. God will take His anger out on people that rebel against Him. Now, your little charismatic movement, they have funny Bibles and funny preachers and funny ways. And they'll tell you shacking up's all right. They'll tell you rebellion's all right. They'll tell you a woman preacher's all right. They'll tell you a lie. They'll lie to you. But you better get your copy of the Bible. I don't care what Obama said. Huh? I don't care what Hillary said. I don't care what none of them said. You better get your copy of the Word of God, and you better shut up, and you better listen Because God is getting mad, and God's getting angry, and hell is going to break loose in America. Now, God told him in that chapter, I'm going to open up the ground. I'm going to take you down in the pit. And that pit is called, in that chapter, it's the pit of the damned. And Revelation 9, Revelation 20, it's called the bottomless pit. And young man, you can wipe the smile off your face because you're going to hell. And I'm not afraid of you. I'll take you out and wire you out with that right there. I'm here on the mountain. You might as well lick your little smile off your face. I'll come over and snatch you up. I come here on business. Now, God's a man. They never heard you pray. Well, I'm going to today. Last week, a million whores got out in the street. I don't like that. We'll run into that doing about 750 mile-an-hour, see what I can. Madonna, I'm going to burn the White House. And I won't go too far. I'll do all the men that failed to vote for Hillary. We're living in the middle of the front door of hell. And we've lost some men of God. They've got backbone left. And I ain't going to go to hell for no politician. No joy or sin. Huh? No mind. I ain't going to hell, Bob. You can go to hell with them. I'm not going to hell with them. Say, I wouldn't come to hell, you. Don't make no difference, you've heard already. Now, hell is not a figment of your imagination. And God's judgment is not play. We'll go to hell, we'll drink beer and liquor and have a party. You're so dumb. You're ignorant. You're stupid. You're hating on rebellions against God. Now, what took Cora to hell? Rebellion. I'll shack up. I mean, what God said. God said, I'll chastise you. You'll jerk a nut and you'll tell that you can't straighten out. Everything, sweetie, sweetie, sugar pie all over America. They'll get up walking out of church, slam the door, take their phones out, reading texts. The pastor ain't got no you-know-what, amen? We're in the midst. Colossians. We're all holy. Read it. Now, I didn't write it. God said, OK. Chapter. I'm going to make a new thing. I believe God will kill you. I believe God will be... I hear people preach That's not right. But Hebrews 12, that I'll chastise a son, but a bastard I won't chastise. I am not a bastard. I have a heavenly Father. Holy said we're all holy. You go to the Methodist church, Lutheran church, and most of the Southern madness, the biggest part of the independence, we're all saved. I've been baptized. I was a drill sergeant. Been baptized. Went to church all of my life. Twenty years old. If I'd have died, I'd have roasted in the charred walls of the name of the... Who cared? Who cared? He's all right. He's a Baptist church member. I cared. I got out of the military to get saved, for I went out to go to hell. I preach most time of worship. But hell, I want you to think with me a minute, is a bottomless pit. Right now, the earth is round, and every time it talks about hell, they went down. Korah went down with all of his people, down. Right now, while we're on the outside of earth, in the center, is a ball of fire. Not with a little handful. Millions. Now, hear what it says. They're screaming, I read it yesterday, weeping and wailing. and gnashing their teeth. Now, we grit our teeth, but we're talking about gnashing until their teeth, there's nothing left but the nerves, they're gnashing, and they're screaming, and they're begging, and they're crying, and they're wailing, and they're accusing, and they fall and fall, never hit the bottom, never hit the bottom. They got no memory. They remember when they last hit the man of God. They remember when they last said the Word of God. They remember when they last said the things of God. They remember when they said the Bible wasn't true. They remember, they remember, they remember in hell. Now, Cora went to a pit and the pain, I picked up a book With that being the illustration, here's what he said, you cannot enlarge on the word hell. It's unthinkable that a man or a woman, you think God would send a child to hell? He's in the knowledge of sin, there's accountability. That girl will go to hell, and you're sitting beside you, that boy. If they do not receive Jesus Christ in their heart, they're not washed in the blood of the Lamb. They'll wake up in the charred walls of the dam, and they'll scream. Amen? They'll scream, and they'll be putting their teeth together and gnashing them. Screaming and blaming everybody while they fall, fall, fall, fall. Beg, beg, beg, beg, beg. I cannot, for the life of me, I've been a preacher forty-something years. I cannot get a hold of this sermon. To think that a young man or a young woman would drive down the road and hit on police, and one second, wake up, and the tires were on the ground. They said they died. Oh, no. No. They changed from earth to hell, or earth to heaven. What takes you to hell is rejecting the Lord Jesus Christ. Huh? What takes you to heaven is the blood that He shed on the cross of Calvary. What takes you to heaven is the death, burial, and resurrection. If you ever get born again, you couldn't go to hell if you asked to. For when God saves you, God's all-suffering, God will fill you up. The devil can't damage your soul. I've thought about the pain. Now, here's the deal. I like water. I had that surgery. I've lost over 100 pounds. But if it wasn't for water, I couldn't exist. But Luke 16 said the rich man just asked for a drop. Then he asked to go get his five brothers, tell them about Jesus. There he is with his memory. He and the beggar must have went to the house of God together. The beggar must give him a crack or something. He remembered Atlantis in the year of the Lord. He remembered something. Now here's a word that come across my mind as I studied illustrations and the word, I can't imagine. I cannot imagine a pit where you'll never stop falling. I can't imagine pain that you'll never get rid of. You don't have to go. God made a way for you. I can't imagine a fire where you burn and scream and know you come and curse. I can't imagine. I can't imagine. I said, Lord, please don't let me preach this with any envy or hate. I can't imagine. I can't imagine them taking my grandchildren and dropping them off. But we're living in society. They don't get married. They move in with each other. Sex is all right, man or unmarried. I'm going to tell you, if you're like that today, you better get to God. All right for a man to marry a man and a woman to marry a woman. If I didn't have a Bible, I'm not that stupid. I've never been drawn to a man, honey. God made female for man. Women are beautiful. By the name of God, you want to go out with a long bearded man. By God Almighty. What's happened to men? But our children, they live in households. They got a bottle of liquor. They got a bottle of beer. They're blowing smoke in each other's face. They're cursing this one. Cursing the man of God. Cursing the Bible. Cursing leaders. Honey, that's where they live, but I'm here today to tell you they're deliberate, sir. They're deliberate, sir. They're deliberate, sir. They're deliberate, sir. They're deliberate. I'm a good Methodist. If you're a saved Methodist, you're alright. I'm a good Methodist. If you're a saved Methodist, you're alright. But if you die without God, you say, what do I do to get saved? You don't just believe. You've got to get born again. You've got to have experience. You haven't born your mama. You've got to be on the altar somewhere. And you've got to be born. You've got to be birthed. You've got to be saved. You've got to be changed. Now what I preach, I talk about the pit and the thing. Under my feet is 99% of all my friends right now. When I'm preaching, they're screaming. You know why not? My mama and my daddy said, after me and my house, we're going to serve God. I got a friend of mine. out at church tonight. He stood right over here. He served three or four stretches in the prison. He worked for me. And the man preached that night. He crossed his arms. I rebuke. I'm going to as long as I live. I ain't going to be afraid of no member, no church, or no pastor. I'm not here to raise money for me. I'm here to raise hope to Jesus back there, the family of God. His wife grabbed his legs, she was a blonde, and begged him, said, Dewey, come up front and get saved. Tears flowing down her face. His mama said, Dewey, please come up front and get saved. About two weeks later, he got shot in the back. Throw him in the L&J River. Tied blocks around him. He popped up. But while I'm preaching, somewhere under my feet, he's screaming for water. Herschel Mooney, the best friend I ever had. I caught my liquor making country. That's all he ever done, Hall Shine. One Saturday night, head on into a tree. His brain was all over the car, under my feet, somewhere. Bobby Ellis, in the military, used to make fun of the man of God, the word of God, the saints of God. He fell down a flight of stairs and died immediately. As a tree falls, so shall it last. It's pouring down on a man to die and ask this to judge me. You and I, what do you think about me? It doesn't make no difference. We're going to face the judgment of God. Now, J. Harold Smith preached a sermon called Three Deadlines. Pick it up on the internet. He and a pastor were standing outside in the church. Two guys on a motorcycle come by, rebellious. Hey, preachers! How far is it to hell? You know. They stood and talked and went down the road one mile. Them two boys was decapitated. He looked at his speedometer. He said it was one mile of hell. One mile. One mile! Pain! Pit! Bottomless! No hope! Screaming! No water! No flowers! No babies! I'm going to tell you all this this morning. I can't imagine. I couldn't imagine a grandmother going to hell. I couldn't imagine a granddaddy going to hell. I can't imagine a teenager going to hell. But every year at the proms, two or three will get killed, drunk, died without a job. without hope. Now this little gal right here, I know they've been through the fire, but it'd be hard for her to go to hell, all the people praying for her. I don't care which side of the family, it'd be hard for her to go to hell. Be hard for me or die to go to hell. Come here Chase. Now, he's a real bastard, a militant. What'd your grandma tell you on the death bed? What'd she say now? Said, I'm worried about you, boy. Always do good. Always be good. Grow up to be a good man. Worried about you. Remember that? Yes, sir. He dropped his hat. How old are you now? 27. I was somewhere younger. That was my wife. You're looking down, but you're here without God. You're mourning without hope. God told me, you're going to hell. You know you're going to hell. You've never met the Lord. I beg you. Don't turn Jesus away. Don't say no to Jesus. Don't say no to the Word. Don't say no to the power of God. Don't say no to the Holy Ghost. Young people this morning, I beg you. Sex ain't worth it. Drinking ain't worth it. A job ain't worth it. Come to Jesus. And here's what's so sad. I got a friend named Sonny Colbert. He was a grandmama. Sonny said, Granny. He was a member of Carl Ickey Church. I'll be done in just a few minutes. He said, Granny, get saved. Granny said, I don't want to do the old God. I don't know nothing to do with no Jesus. I don't know nothing to do with the Holy Ghost. Grandma started dying. They had to hold her in the bed while she screamed. And she screamed until she died for water and for help. She waited too long. I didn't read this in the book. That's a friend of mine, his grandmother. Call Lagan Brothers. One day he said, I noticed he was smoking. The next thing I noticed, he wasn't drinking. One day he called Brother Carl Larson to come over to help him. And the man was on the floor calling around and screaming, Where is God? Where is God? Where is God? He died and hollered, Where is God? Hey, you're breathing. You've got a mentality. You can receive the Word. You're here. You can walk. You can repent. You can come to Jesus. As I close today, the last three points of the sermon. It's going to be a permanent place. Revelation 20, verse 14 through 15. I'm going to tell everybody in here why I got saved. I didn't want to go to hell. One day God's going to take everybody out of hell. Revelation 20. They'll be judged and cast into what? The lake of fire and brimstone. I can't imagine what I'll preach today. I can't imagine up here. I can't imagine the pain. But I can imagine forever and ever and ever and a place permanent. Every second, no hope. No hope. No hope. No help. And as you bump into people you knew, you'll curse each other. For the worm doth not march. Now, that body is twitching. It teeth are gnashing. You're screaming. And then they'll march by the south. Those thousands of millions you see marking, unless they get to know the Lord, they'll be cast down into the pit. Now here's the thing, and I'll close on this point. Over in the book of Isaiah 5, hell enlarges. It's getting bigger and bigger, and it's called the broad way that leads to hell and destruction. But, while I preach today, I'm not the Holy Ghost, but I'd come back to this man here. I'd say, He'll save you, man. All you've got to do is humble yourself down and bow in an old-fashioned order. All this light stuff, the fundamentals of preaching, just received Jesus. I won't believe one word of that. The Holy Ghost's got to convict you. The Holy Ghost's got to draw you. And the Holy Ghost is going to change you. We've hewed out sisters, broken sisters that will hold no one. Now here's a question. One illustration and a question. A 16-year-old girl named May said in a service, I'm a tent preacher. I preach everywhere. I preach a lot of tents. Mona Fleming begged them to come and get saved that night. She wept and cried. May and her boyfriend. She went home that night. Her daddy said, May, if you cry tomorrow night, I'm going to wire you out. A big daddy, 240. May went upstairs. Now here's what she said. Holy Ghost, if you'll leave me alone, God, if you'll leave me alone, I'll leave you alone. She went back to meeting next night and laughed while the man preached. She come home one day, said, Mama, I've got an excruciating headache, pain. Mama said, I'll go up and lay down. You'll be all right. She hollered for Mama, said, Mama, it's unbearable. By this time, they called the doctor. He said, if you got anything to tell me, you better tell her, because she's fixing to leave out here shortly. got something on with her brain. They all gathered around the bed, lost. Her daddy said, May, pray. She said, Daddy, I can't pray. That night you threatened me. I told God to leave me alone. He never has to convict me anymore. Daddy, I'm going to hell. When she said, May, is there anything I can do? She said, oh yeah. Where we used to live is cold water. She said, Daddy, pull me up in the bed. and go get me some cold water where I'm going to be now." And I'm going to that place called hell because of you, Daddy. He lost his mind, completely lost his mind. While he went to get some water and come back, May died without hope, without God. I'm going to ask you now. I'm here on serious business. Have you really been born again? I've been baptized, no. I believe in God, no. I never believe in God in general. You've got to trust, have faith, receive Christ, and embrace Him. Father, Lord, you know I always dread preaching on these lines. But it's also I want compassion tears. Lord, they's coming here today lost without hope. They're lost without God. They've made professions, but they've never been born of the Spirit. Maybe in the Navy. Maybe in the Army. Maybe in the Air Force. Maybe just an old redneck boy from Woodbine or somewhere. Maybe from right in this area. But Lord Jesus, with your arms outstretched, with your compassion reached down. Lord, don't let one of them walk out the door today lost. Don't let no woman, no boy, no girl. And if they're visiting for the first time, they don't have to wait for the second. They can come today. Lord, let them come by faith and trust Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. There's that pit. There's that pain. There's that permanent place. They'll scream. It'll never come out. One day it'll come out and be cast in to the lake of fire and brimstone. But Lord, You made a way when Christ went to the cross. They'll cross Christ. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen. Let's stand together please. It was not even singing. Right where you are, just make your way down. From where you're at, it's not very far to the front. There's already people bowing. But young lady, young man, you're not God without hope. That's right. Come right on, young man. Come right on. All over the building. I'd make my peace calling and election sure with God. I'd make her sure of that. Say, Brother Leroy, I'd doubt all time. I'd get it straightened out right now. I'd come in a husband and wife. I'd get mom and daddy and say, Mom and daddy, how about going with me? I'd come in a young man, a young woman, I'd get it settled once and for all. I preached on a sermon, I can't imagine a pit that deep or pain that bad or place that firm. A lot more room. Now listen, listen. Don't go away today not satisfied by your salvation. This may be your last call. We're getting ready to go in some of the deepest waters America's ever known. California's rebelled. They want to come out in the Union. Rebellion rising up. You better get ready to meet the Lord. Get prepared. Let the Lord change your life. Say, preacher, my heart's are beating out of my chest. Well, that's called conviction. They preach I'm trouble inside. That's called conviction. I'm going to slip out and go back home. I would never do it. I guess out of all the sermons that God ever laid on my heart, when I have to preach on hell, they're stronger than anything. They won't leave. Say, I know I need to get saved. Come on. Come on. I'm going to wait. I'm not going to push you, but I'm going to wait. I'm going to wait. Say, I'm afraid to come by myself. Get somebody with a hand. Ask them to walk with you. Reach over. Say, will you walk down with me today? I'm going to wait a few minutes. Say, I joined up, but I've never been born again. Say, I really want to know I'm going to heaven. I'm a member, but I'm lost. I was baptized when I was a kid, but I've never been saved. Come on. Come on. Come on. The draw will never be this strong again for you. I remember being here one night and the power of God got surreal. I prayed for people two hours, one after another. Well, there's a different conviction here this morning. Say, Brother Leroy, I stay troubled 24-7. I wouldn't leave here troubled no more. I would get straightened out today. I'm troubled about my husband, my wife. Don't leave until you get it straightened out. That's right, just keep on coming down. I'm not running this thing. If it had went right on and sung and shouted, I'd have shouted with them. They sung, can't shout. You know what? The days are coming you'll not hear one more sermon on hell. You won't hear one on home. You won't hear one on the Holy Ghost. You'll hear a sermon on love. You'll hear nothing about sin no more. That's sweeping all in the rug. I'm gonna wait just a minute. And my heart's about to beat out of my chest, that's why I'm awake. I see people's heart empty and their face empty. You say they'll be the first one to go up with their hands. They ain't had nothing ever. You know why? Mama read my verse. She said, do you believe that? Oh, I believe that. But never had it changed. We'll wait just a minute. They're still praying. Brother Ed, you and your wife sing a song. You always sing to me all the time, whatever you got on your heart. Don't matter, just sing it. We're shoulders in an uneasy spot. I'd like to ease on down the road. I wouldn't ease down unless I got it right today. It's about one verse, I'll turn it over to you again. We're going to wait. Folks still weeping, still folks in Auburn. If you have friends in glory land, who bless thee for the day, God's calling you. God's calling. God's calling. Young lady, why don't you turn loose in that profession and come and get saved today? I look at your face and have no peace of mind. No peace. But there will die no more. Come on, little Lord. I can't imagine a pit where you'll never stop falling. I can't imagine pain, but I can imagine it to be permanent. That's what the book says. Sing another verse by then. Say, I've got a burden for somebody. I want to come and pray. Why don't you step out and pray for that individual right now that you've got on your mind. I've got a burden. I want to pray. Come right on. Come right on. I've got a burden. I want to pray. I got a burden from my dad, from my mama. I got a burden. Come right on. The Holy Ghost is a drawing. He's a pulling. Come right on. Best time to get a priority is while God's a moving. We need my friend. I'm going home. Oh Lord, won't be long, we'll step inside the city. I was a member, Brother Ed, of the church I saved in for 20 years. I went to church there. I remember walking down the aisle. They said, why is he down there? He's saved. I never had had a change. Never had had a change. Sing one more verse. Now I'm almost persuaded, I can feel that, that's why I'm sort of drugged with that. I almost want to come right now. I'm going to wait just a second. See, I've never heard you so bold. You ain't lived with me for the last few weeks. Something I'm worried about. Concerned about. Son, you're doing alright now. Come over here a minute. Let me hug your neck. Come on over here. You've got it all squared. Hallelujah. I was his granddaddy's pastor. God's a-breaking. He's a-breaking. God's a-breaking hearts. That's what it takes. It takes the Holy Ghost. The old man of God can't do nothing about it. Somebody pray with that young man right there. I don't know anything about him, but just get down there and pray with him. Sing one more verse of that song. That's the kind of singing they done 35 years ago for me all over the country. They didn't have them little young'uns. When old young men get to God, I ain't never ruined it. I don't mind preaching. I never was afraid of nothing. I was an old Army drill sergeant. I been hit 29 more than one time. My old heart's been broke at Calvary now. I don't know how to pray and get ahold of God. Right here is one of getting to God. You know what? God's more real than your pocketbook. God's more real than the flesh when you moan. I'm going to tell you, y'all got something here that ain't nobody else got around this area. You know why I said that? I've been to a lot of churches. They don't have what you got. But if you ever lose what you got, you'll hunt and hunt and hunt. I thank God this morning to get to be here in one service. I said, Lord, I'm glad. I said, I've already worshipped. I've been so long since I've worshipped God. Boy, don't you go to church? Yeah. You go to church all the time. Just ain't no moving God in them. Scary. Scary. I started crying sitting right down in front of me. I ain't cried in a while. It's good to come to the house of God. Good. God bless you, son. Don't ever lose them tears, boy. My daddy prayed for God to take his tears and he took them and he prayed for God to give them back. Say, you're lost for words? I ain't never been lost for words. I know you're supposed to wait. They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount upon wings of eagles, they shall run and not grow weary. For these folks from India, are you from India? Same, about the same living. All that religion, I've been all over them countries. They'd give a million dollars to get to feel what you're feeling this morning. Philippines, he tells you all the good things. He don't tell you half of them are eating dogs and everything else. You got no money. Cuba, no food under common enemies. You're in America. And if you lay out tonight, you're saying, I don't give a rip about my church. You know what? I had a good first wife, 42 years. She kept me in line, out of fact, she kept me in line. I married another and I blinked, she didn't keep me in line either. Husband, love your wife. Christ loves the church. I guarantee you, you'll love your wife, husband, you'll love your wife, you'll love your husband, While hell's a-breaking loose, you'll have peace of mind. Now, here's what we're going to do. We're going to take them into the office. We're going to do something. We're going to run a little. I pray so long that I have a picture. I want you to get out of your comfort zone and go over here, and I want you to tell somebody how much you love them. And I want you to go over here and tell them how much you love them. Get out of your seat. Some of y'all ain't been out of that comfort zone in at least ten years. Amen? And the wheelchairs start poppin' and whippin'. Amen?
