We heard an amazing message last
night. With what message we heard last
night, I would think that there is no way that we cannot have
an awesome service tonight. Because I know that everyone
went home and they checked their vessels. and they filled their
vessels up today with all those good things that were spoken
about last night. Amen? Did we not? Because if
we did, it would be impossible for the devil to have right away
his service tonight. That hedge of protection that
was mentioned would be there in place and the devil would
not have the hope to interfere in his service tonight. Are we
ready for that tonight, church? We should be. We got great, wonderful
instruction last night. Awesome instruction. And do we
take those instructions and do you use those? Do you take those
to heart? Or do you just, as Monocle Jr. says, a pitchfork message? Did
you take that pitchfork and you flip it back to the person behind
you? I tell you by the authority of
God, and I know what God, what He teaches and what this Word
of God tells us, I know that if we took the message last night
seriously, the devil has to go away tonight. And when he's not
here, we know that the Spirit of God will manifest itself before
us. We have no choice if you went
and done what was prescribed to you last night. We have no
choice but to have a good service. Amen? Sure. There's no way around
it because that is the equation. Brother, I thank you so much
for following the Lord. That was a perfect equation for
a good service. It would be impossible for it
not to work. So I'm looking and I'm excited about the service
tonight. There is going to be something
great happen tonight. It cannot happen any other way
because God works that way. If you've got your Bibles and
you want to turn them with me, Sorry. Please follow along with me.
What I want to do tonight is I want to do something with the
help of God that could be very difficult. What I want to do
tonight is I want to take some scriptures and I want to break
them down to where a kindergarten person could understand it. So
many times, I love to be with my brother at Old Union. I love to be with my brother
and brother Craig talked about at the house the other day, said,
boy, we could just talk for hours. I love to be with my preaching
brother and be able to dig into and get those deep nuggets, deep
words, deep thoughts. Brother Steve, you know what
I'm talking about. All of them. Brother Jeremy, we love those
conversations. And we can talk amongst ourselves
and we will understand them. And there are some times I'm
there and I say, brother, stop for a minute. What did you mean
by that word? Will you explain that to me? Even myself. Sometimes
it gets a word that I don't understand. And sometimes we get behind this
pulpit, and we have that mindset, and we preach, and we use these
terms, these words, and we just automatically assume that everyone
out there understands it. And when you look, it's just
usually the preachers are shaking their head, Amen. Want to understand
I know my children at once times a dad I don't understand that
and that that was the first time that hit me in the face Wow,
they just really just didn't follow through with what we were
saying I just took it for granted that they understood because
I understood but see the God I'm not no better. This man is
not no better, but we are steady. We are we are done. It is our
responsibility to know more and If we don't, then we're in trouble.
So it's our responsibility to know more. But I want tonight,
if the Lord will help, and I know He will, I want to try to break
down some words and make this very simple. I know that if we
look at some scriptures that even in the biblical time, there
were those in the biblical time that were very confused. I want
to use one very... Nicodemus. He looked at the Lord
and says, am I going to enter the second time in my mother's
womb when the Lord told him about being born again? This was a
grown man. He didn't understand the phrase
that you must be born again. Do you see how simple that was? I hope that the majority of us
understand what that meant. But you may even know a grown
man, and if you're a child here today, that would be very confusing
to you. But it meant being born of the Spirit. It was being born
again of the Spirit, being saved by the grace of God. So, you
know, there's that term, and I want to read just a few more
before we get started into the real reading lesson. In John
6, 35, it reads, Jesus said, I am the bread of life. Well,
now, if you're a child, what does that mean to you? I am the
bread of life. You know, we look at bread, and
I'm not trying to be silly with this, but I'm trying to break
this down because we're looking at some children that would not
understand that because Think it's not? If you read on in that
same 6th chapter, go to the 6th chapter of John, the 52nd verse,
and it says, but Jesus did not, or no, it says, how can this
man give us his flesh to eat? This was the people, those Jewish
people that he was talking to, in that same verse, they said,
well, how can he give us his flesh to eat? They were taking
the thought of bread and eating it like we would. But he was
meaning it as, I am your nourishment. I am your spiritual nourishment.
I am the one, you, me, myself, Christ. I am the one that you
need to seek after. I will provide you with all you
need, the nourishment. Back in those days, we understand
that bread and water, boy, we're so spoiled today. So take your
mind back to a thought. Bread and water was very, very,
very, very needed back then. It was a precious commodity back
in those days. They could not go out and pick
up food like you and I can today. Do you remember Elijah with the
woman there? After he'd come out from the
brook, he'd come to her and he says, all she had was a kernel
of oil and some meal. He said, well, you make me one
before I die. That's all they had. Can you
see what I'm saying? Can you see the poverty of the people
back in those days and how precious that was? So when this conversation
was brought forth, I am the bread of life, it was something that
was very much a part of that culture at that time. They didn't
have a big elaborate diet like you and I have. They couldn't
go to Culver's and have to study the menu for an hour to know
what to get off the menu. It was very, very simple, bread
and water. Sometimes maybe a little fish.
Maybe a lamb chop occasionally. You know, it was not something
that would come very, very readily like we have it today. So you
see, when Christ comes and says, I am the bread of life, even
they, those grown-up people says, well, what are we going to do,
eat him? He's not a loaf of bread. then He was their substance.
He's my substance this evening. He's my strength. When I am down and out, just
like bread and water will give us substance, He is powerful. He is my substance and my spiritual
substance. And that is what we use. If we
look at these examples, we want to not overlook It is a spiritual
message that's being portrayed here. But he a lot of times uses
these worldly events, these worldly things. We all, all the way down
through the ages of time, we understand food. You don't believe
it? Look at us when we go to the
back. We understand what it is to eat. So you can take those
things and you can relate them. And this is what Christ has done
here. But it's Him. We don't want to make silly of
it, but people actually make silly of it. They think, well,
see, here's the thing. I want us to understand one thing.
I want to bring the Scripture into it. We have been saved by
the grace of God. The majority of us in here have
been saved. And we have the Spirit of God inside us, and it helps
us to understand It says, those that are without are spiritually
deserved. They don't have the Spirit of
God within them to help them die sick. I didn't have the Spirit
of God at one time, and I was very confused. But even after
I've been saved. I mean, we look at the Lilas
and the Lucases. They don't understand all about
these things. I can preach you tonight, and
I can use these words, and I'm fixing to give you definitions
too. And I guarantee you that Lila
and Lucas has never, probably just barely heard the words,
and they wouldn't even know what they meant. But the Lord saved
their soul. But you see, that's what I'm
saying, that God works through all of that. We do not have to
be, we're not saved on our intellect. I was saved at a 10-year-old
boy. Now do you think I had a lot
of worldly intellect at that time? No. I believe you said
you were saved at 9 years old. We were still going to school. We were still learning. So it
wasn't because we were great and we had it all figured out.
That is where Nicodemus come in. He was trying to use it as
his knowledge. And he was so confused talking
to Christ. It just, he says, what do you
mean I'm going to be born again? I got a fleck of time in your
mother's womb? Even an educated man would come
and be confused with that. So this, just bear with me this
evening. I want to try to take some of
these scriptures and make them simple, if I can. I know there's
things that we have to use the word, but we have to explain
the word. We go to Isaiah the 64th chapter of Isaiah in the
8th verse, but now Lord You are father. You are the clay and
I am the Potter. We are all the works of thy hands
and we we are not a little And we are the works of thy hand.
Okay. Now we know we are of the dust
of the earth But this clay, we know in the art of pottery, and
to craft a piece of, it was mentioned some last night, to lift and
make a pottery piece, it takes a molding of the potter. He has
to take and work that clay, and he has to make it and work it
up, and he has to do certain things with it, and to mold it
into whatever dish he wants, and that's what we were talking
about even last night. This is what we were talking
about. We are not clay. We are not clay, but the example
there is to understand that God forms us. God makes us what he
wants to make us, if we'll allow him. You know that God has a
reason for each and every one of you. God has a love, as the
pastor John told us, He has a love that is beyond our comprehension
for each and every one here this evening. He has that love for
the entire world. And He will if we will come to
Him. He wants to. He wants to take and to form
us and to make us those potters, those vessels of honor that Brother
Jeremy talked about last night. He wants to do that. That is
His whole focus. So when we, sometimes we get
so confused and we say, I just don't know what I'm going to
do. I don't know what the Lord wants. God, He is forming us. He is taking, He's making us.
Now, I know when I say this, I am not the first of authority
to be able to say I know exactly what the Lord's trying to do,
because I don't. Because I have to pray, I have to stay earnest
on my knees, but I have to see the times that God is forming
me. There's some times He'll take and knock an edge off, because
He doesn't want me to get to be a high pitcher. He wants me
to be a low bow, so He'll knock some off of me, and that may
hurt. as we look at that analogy. But you know what I'm saying?
That's God's business. There are times that God will
knock us down to get us in the right place. Have you ever been
knocked down? Sure. And we will be again if
the Lord allows us to live another day, another year. I guarantee
you, I've been alive for 59 years. I've had ups and I've had downs.
And I know that I will have ups and downs again. It will just
be a part of life. But I know that I have tried
it with God at the hill. I have tried it with God molding
me. And I have tried it without God molding me. It's not very
productive. It doesn't work. It's a miserable
life when you don't have God to go to. I was a saved individual,
but I was out in the world. I was not close to him. I didn't
go to him and ask him to say, Lord, I need your help. I was
too far away from him. But thanks be to God, he pulled
me back. He gave me time. He had mercy
upon me. He was long suffering. And I
allowed him. to mold me, that's what he spoke
of, to mold me to be something of honor. He's gonna do the same
for you. So that's what that means. You
see how simple that might be, but people would get that confused
because it's a metaphor. It's trying to make something
that, use something to explain something else. And sometimes
when you do that and it gets so confusing. But now I want
to use the text, the thought of this message tonight, because
there's been a, and I for the life of me cannot recall the
time, I don't know if it was when I was pastor at Whiteland
or as I was pastor at Pleasant Valley, or it might have been
one of the grandchildren, but I remember, and I remember a little girl
coming to me and says, how in the world, if you're washed in
blood, you're going to be white? This was asked to me. I know
we all laugh, but this was asked to me. And she was genuine. She was very honest. How in the
world are you going to wash your blood and be white? That's a
good question. You think about it. It's a very
good question, especially for someone such as Lucas or one
of those that age. It's a very good question. It
doesn't make sense, does it? Does not make sense. But as we
look here, You say I'm going to make it simple and I'm going
to tell you I'm going to take some reading out of Revelations, but just
bear with me. I know it gets... Revelation 7, starting with verse
11. And all the angels stood around
about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and
fell before the throne on their face and worshipped God, saying,
Amen, blessings and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor
and power and might be unto our God forever and ever. Amen. Now there was a lot of talk about
beasts and elders and all that, and that is a very deep study.
But I want us to understand the very focus before I continue
to read this. What is the focus of this? They
were honoring and praising God. It was all focus. Upon God he
was given all praise that if nothing else you get out of this
the simplicity of it You need to understand that that is the
most and foremost important part of this that they were all these
entities We may not understand who they are, but we know one
thing for sure We can understand that very clearly. They were
giving all their diligence and their praise to God He's do that
That's his that's what we ought to be doing tonight and for the
rest of our life. I to give Him all honor and praise. And this is what we want to get
out of this as we go on with this. So, see what I'm saying?
I want to try to break down these things that we want to take and
get so confused, but let's get to the point of what is there.
It don't matter who that was at this point, as long as we
get what they were doing. Praising God, uplifting Him to
the highest, to the utmost. That was her focus. You see,
Brother Jeff, when he prays, I noticed this. How does he pray? Does anybody ever notice how
Brother Jeff prays? He's down on his face. And that's what
we see here. We read in this, they were on
their face worshipping God. They didn't feel worthy enough
to even look upon Him. That is the praise and the glory
that they gave Him. Pretty simple, right? But so
important, so important that we see these ports in these things
and to get past all the clutter of, well, I wonder what those
beasts look like, or I wonder what they represented. They're
in there, but that is not the important part of this at this
point. As we go on, we'll learn that later. Oh, the things I've
learned after salvation, it's unbelievable. It's unbelievable. But then it says, and one of
the elders answered saying to me, and this is the John, the
regulator. And so we were talking to here
or just writing this. What are these, which are arrayed
with white robes and whence come they? Who are those within white
robes and whence come they? He said, sir, thou knowest. He
said, you know who they are. And he says to me, they are they
that come out of great tribulation and have washed their robes and
made them white with the blood of the Lamb. Washed their robes
with the blood of the Lamb. And then it talks about how they're
white. So what does that mean? How does that fall together?
We see here that it talked about they were arrayed. Those that
were to come were arrayed and white. That was the saints of
God. Whenever we reach the end of
this world, whenever the Lord comes back and meets us in the
sky, that trumpet sounds, we're going to go and meet Him in the
sky and we're going to be arrayed in perfection. That is what this
is about. It talks about the white, the
blood of Christ. He hung upon that cross. I want
us to understand who it was that hung upon that cross and the
blood run down from his body. It was Jesus Christ. Perfect in all points. Perfect. No fault found in him
at all. He was perfect. When we talk
about white, he deserved the whitest and the brightest. He
was perfect. As a child growing up, can you
imagine being his mother? Mary, so many times we say she
pondered in her mind, can you imagine what it was like to raise
a Christ child? We read about him at 12 years
old and he was out doing his father's business. Not Joseph
as a carpenter, but his heavenly father. He had made those points
to her. Boy, he talked about a perfect
child. And he continued on that, and we pick up the three years
of his ministry, and we see the things that he did, and there
was no vial found in his mouth. He knew before the foundations
of the world, I want us to understand, he knew before the foundations
of the world that he would have that lot. And the determinate
counsel between God the Father, and God the Son, and God the
Holy Spirit, it was made, that I will go and I will take your
place. He would take up my place on that cross. I deserved to
be there, but I wasn't capable of being there because I'm a
sinner. He was perfect. He did not deserve to be on that
cross. It was not his cross. It was
mine. It was yours. that he took on
Christ. And to hold on to that, because,
and I hope this is getting simple, and he's talking about the story
that we sung, the song, the story is, and Brother Jeff, I mean,
it's the same story that you got happy with. It's just continuing
on with it. The story never gets old. It
never gets old. It never gets old. It never gets
old. It's never changed. It never
will change. It's the same today and it will
be the same for my great, great, great grandchildren if God spends
His time to come. It is the same for Adam and Eve.
Even before they looked toward the cross. Even the skins, you
talk about the blood. Adam and Eve, they covered herself
with fig leaves. That wasn't sufficient. Blood
was shed and the coverings of a beast. Don't know what that
was. Many people say it was a lamb.
I don't know. I know that there was an animal killed and there
were skins put around to cover them. The same way I was saved,
the blood was shed for me as it was for you. The blood was
shed. He gave His life on that cruel
old cross. He shed His blood. Without shedding
of blood, there is no remission of sin. That is Scripture. Now, some say, well, why are
you preaching this and trying to make it simple to our children?
It is crucial that they understand how critical and how much that
God went through, what He represented when He was on that cross, a
perfect Savior dying for the sins of the world. It's important
that we preach this and preach it loud and proud in our pulpits. There was a death taking place
that day, a death of a perfect Savior without spot or blemish. Now, we look back at the Old
Testament. Look, you think about, well, now, what is all the sacrifices
in the Levitical law and all these things that we could get
all messed up with that stuff? But you want to know what it
is? It's everything. He was back to Adam and Eve.
all the way through those animal sacrifices, they could not bring
a imperfect animal. It had to be perfect without
spot or blemish. They had to bring the best they
had. God, he gave the best he had.
And that is, you see, in the Old Testament times, we look
back in the Antiquity, people out there before the flood and
even after the flood, They were looking to the cross. They were
looking that they know that there was going to be a Messiah. There
was going to be a Savior come. Did they even really understand
what form he would be in at that time? They knew that he was coming
because, you know, did they even know what his name was going
to be back in that time? Because it wasn't even revealed
to his mother until you will call his name Jesus. They knew
that there would be a Savior, and they knew that it was there,
and it was taught to their children. Even from that time all the way
through, past the flood, it was still taught to them about the
sacrifice, the sacrifice of a perfect being, a perfect lamb that was
represented in the sacrificial lambs. All of those sacrifices,
all that blood was shed in that tabernacle. that we read about.
You go back and you'll read that they had to shed the blood because
they did it once a year. They had to do it every year.
And they had to go and shed that blood to make atonement for them. Atonement. Well, there you go. I've used that big word, haven't
I? I've used a big word and it's a word that needs to be defined. An atonement. Bear with me. It's a substitute. It's one that... I'm sorry. It's agreement, an
accord, a consolation. This is from the Webster's 1828
Dictionary. Sorry, I lost it for a minute. You go to Romans 5, and I don't
want to go there at this point, but you go to Romans 5 and it
will tell you about that, that atonement, that substitution
that God only could do. Jesus Christ, He paid that atonement. That was His responsibility.
That was His. He took that upon Himself. Like I said, between
the foundation and the world. Atoned for our sin. He substituted
Himself. He put Himself in our place.
That word just means substitution. He took our place. So we want
to use these big words, but that's what it is. It's a big word.
It means He took our place. Now, I don't want to oversimplify
it, but I do want to oversimplify it. I want to make it known how
simple that is. That's what that word means.
He filled in the space that we deserve to be in. He did that. Why did He do that? Our pastor
done told us a little while ago because of the love that He has
for mankind. Do you realize how much God,
the Father, desires to have fellowship with us. That's what this is
all about. Whenever Adam and Eve took partake
of that fruit in the garden, they broke the commandment of
God. God says, do not, and they did. And you say, well, okay, that
was Adam and Eve. Well, let me just ask you this. How many times
has God told you to do not? And you did. It's in our, it's
in our being. It's the Adamic nature of us.
We are all sinners and need to be saved. It's, it's, it's, it's
for everyone in the world. They have fallen short. We have
all sinned and fell short of the glory of God. We all. are not in fellowship with God
the Father. But I want us to understand,
please understand tonight, He is so much engaged in you. Tonight, sinner friend, He is
so much in love with you, so much engaged with you, so interested
in you, to want to have fellowship with you. You are the apple of
His eye. He wants that. That is why He
created us. He created man to have those
that would come and worship Him and fellowship Him. And He desires
to have that fellowship. If you're hearing lost tonight,
I want you to understand you're lost not because God is not what
doesn't want to save you. You're lost because you're not
totally submitted to him. You have not totally gave to
him because on the other side of that, there is a God that's
reaching out and he's reaching just as hard as he can. He's
reaching down just as deep as he can to help you and to grab
you. He wants to. It ain't because he doesn't want
to. He wants to with all his heart. His desire is to have
fellowship with mankind. You know, we see so many come
and they wear the altar out. I know I did for two years, but
you know why I wore the altar out for two years? Because I
didn't want to do it my way. When I give up doing it my way
and come to God's way, it didn't take Him but just that fast.
Faster than that. I can't even snap my fingers
fast enough. That's the love that God has for us. Can you imagine? Brother Cory,
can you imagine giving up any one of your sons, especially
the firstborn Lucas, for the world that just hated you and
slapped you and spit on you? That's what God did. He gave His only begotten Son. How much love, how much love
could that be? Can you imagine how much God
loves us? How much He wants to save this
world? And sinner friend, if you're
here tonight, that love for you goes out just as strong, if not
stronger. Come to a God that is reaching
down and wanting to save you more than anything, more than
anything in the world. You know, we want to go to, just bear with us. Let's go to a very familiar scripture,
one that we're going to try to simplify this to. I hope I've
made it simple. Maybe I'm not. Maybe I made it
more difficult. But I want to go to what is known as the Roman
Road. I'm going to go to Romans 10.
I'm going to start 8, 9, and 10. I want to read those. And
that is the one that has been missed. The counterfeit denominations
will use this and misuse it. And there are droves, barrels,
thousands have been deceived because they take this so lightly. They just brush over the top
and think, well, this says it, just do this and you're going
to be good. It goes deeper than that. And
let's just simplify this, if you'll bear with me for a moment.
Let me read Romans 10 and 8. But why saith it, The word is
nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart? That is the
word of faith which we preach. That if thou shalt confess with
thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart
that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth
unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made
unto salvation. Well, that would be very easily,
I would say, okay, just confess with your mouth. Say that I believe
in Jesus Christ. That is very prevalent in this
society today. But where is the heart working
that? Think about what it just said. I just want us to back
up just a moment. And want to believe in your heart
that someone raised from the dead. Now you think about that. Even our minds right now to know
that somebody raised from the dead. Do you see that? When's
the last time you saw that? Have you seen it? Anyone in this room
seen that in their life? That's a supernatural event.
Somebody raised from the dead. The God the Father came down
and raised His Son on the third day out of that tomb from the
dead. That is something that's not
natural to any one of us here today. We have to have faith
to believe that. God has to give you the faith
to believe that that happened. God will grant you that faith.
When you totally repent to Him and come to Him at that time,
He will grant you that faith. Because I want you to understand,
there's not one of here who's ever seen it. So how can you
go back and say, I have seen that, I can stand on that, I
have seen it happen, I can tell you about it. We can't. It's
through the eyes of faith. And that faith that it took us
to get there was granted to us by God Himself. It goes so much
deeper than just walking the aisle and shaking a preacher's
hand. Do you see how important, how much of a hard work it is?
We're not just believing something, we're believing something supernatural. Something that we can't, I cannot
tell you that I've seen it. I cannot, but I can tell you
because of what the indwelling spirit within my heart, because
God bowled in me and He talked to me. He talks to me with that
still small voice and He revealed it to me and He gave me that
faith at a 10-year-old boy. And when I prayed through, I
knew. I know when the Lord saved my
soul. His brother Jeff talked about it. He remembered that
day. I cut through it and I turned it all over to God. And He saved
my soul. But the thing that I was there
to do in this 10th chapter of Romans, you just can't, we can't
let that be just a simple thing. That is a very, very deep and
weighty matter. God, believing in a God that's,
he's a spirit. Those that believe in him, he's
a spirit, they must worship him in spirit and truth. That's why
you and I that are spiritually, not spiritually discerned, we
can identify with him because he has taken a vote in our heart.
But you that are lost don't have that ability, but you will. And you have to understand what
is being preached this evening, that there is a supernatural
event. There is a God that raised up
his son, that he will raise you out of that mori clay and save
your soul. Give it up to him. Total, total,
total surrender. Nothing, wait, nothing. Total
surrender. You can't hold on to nothing.
I remember I had come to the end of my road. I had tried everything. You figure in two years, excuse me, you figure in two
years, boy, I went around the block with the Lord. Lord, if
you do this, I'll do this. Lord, I'll be perfect. You saved
me. I'm just going to hit everything
just perfect. Yeah, he laughed at me, didn't
he? He knew better. He knew better. I bargained with
him, but I remember on that day, I said, God, I've tried everything. If you don't save me, I'm just
going to have to die and go to hell. I can't do nothing else.
He said exactly. He said, you can't do anything.
And he saved my soul right then. Come to the end of my road. And
he knew my heart. See, he knows each and every
one of our hearts here tonight. He's a little friend. He knows
your heart. He knows the very second that you have truly repented. You can't hold it back from him.
We can't hold anything back from God. God knows all of our thoughts. He knows exactly what you're
thinking at this very present time. So whenever true repentance
comes, he's going to know it immediately. And that supernatural
work of salvation is going to just fall together. Can I explain
it? I can't. There's Brother Jeff's,
228, whenever we get a moment. That's a song, it's a beautiful,
I can tell you about the time and I can take you to the place,
but I can't tell you how and I can't tell you why. I don't
know. It's beyond my knowledge. But
I know without a doubt, I know for a certainty that that supernatural
event took place on that day. It wasn't something that I just
said, OK, I'm going to turn and be a good boy. I'm just going
to turn around and do the things that are right. I'm going to
live a good moral life. That ain't what happened. That
was not what it took. I'm preaching to you something
that is so powerful, it is so precious, it's talking about
God. Those, there may be most of us
here was, some may not have been and may have been at other times.
Do you remember going to the planetarium? You remember looking
how far away God is? We can't even see Him with our
naked eye. The human eye can't even see
the earth from where He is sitting upon His throne. And do you realize
that we can pray to Him? That prayer that we had just
a while ago, that prayer cut through all of that time. All
of that time. Think about it. And it reached,
I hope it did, it reached God upon His throne. Do you see how
big this is? We're talking about a God that
is so huge that He knows the hair on each one of our heads.
He knows everything about us. We can't lie to Him. He knows
us through and through. He knows us better than we know
ourselves. He's looking down and He has a love, a genuine
love for each and every one of you the same way. As much as
He knows about you, He loves you equally. He loves you without
I mean, just, I can't even, it's called agape love. It's a love
that, I don't believe us as human beings, we can even, we can phantom
that much. We can't, we can't, we can't
generate that much love. So this is what we're up against
and where we are. We're so small. Can you, and
I wanted that planetarium just to help me to give it a perspective
of what it is. You can't even see us from where
he's at. but He can see each and every
one of us. Can you see how powerful and supernatural God is? That's
who we can go to. God saved my soul and He gave
me the ability to go to Him at any time and talk to Him. Do
you know that you've got that all right too? The God that I'm
talking to you about, an awesome, mighty God, bigger than anything
that we know, more powerful than anything that we can come to,
we can go to Him and talk to Him right now. Right now, we
don't have to wait in line. We don't have to take a number. We can talk to Him at any given
point. Can you imagine? Does that not
excite you? Does that not just turn you upside
down as far as being a Christian? You know what it's like to be
able to talk to the Almighty God of the universe? We can talk
to Him at any time. Oh, that's so powerful. That's
so amazing to me. I want to try to draw this picture
of how great he is and how small we are, but how much love he
has for us. And sinner friend, that is there
available for you. He is wanting to include you
into the saints. He's waiting to do that more
than anything that you can ever think of. He is wanting you tonight. He is calling you tonight. He wants to save your soul more
than anything. That is what His whole purpose
is. That is what makes Him unhappy is those that go contrary against
Him. That displeases Him. What pleases
God is those that will submit themselves to Him and come to
Him and have fellowship with Him. He wants to save sinners
all across this world. He wants to save each and every
one. That's His desire. He doesn't want to hold none
back. None! Will you come tonight? If you're
here and you're lost, Come and get acquainted. Come and cry
out to this awesome God. This awesome, amazing God. He has a supernatural salvation
that He wants to give you tonight. It's available. And He does nothing
more than just to grant it to you tonight. That's His desire. As we can get a song tonight,
brother, I want to put out a call to you that are lost and undone.
Come and get acquainted. Come and cry out to Him. He's
on the other end of that line. He's reaching for you. Please
come and find and reach for him. There is a connection to be made.
I know I made that connection back in a 10-year-old boy. And
I could go across this room and just about tell you testimonies
of a lot of you people where you made that same connection
several years ago. And some, there's a little man
right here. that it was just a few days ago,
a little lady somewhere back here that just a few days ago
that they made that connection. He's still in the saving business. He wants to save. He wants to
save you now, tonight, this entire week, and even past this week. We're in revival. It's a good
time. It's a good place to be. It's
a good time for us to get revived. but it is a special time for
the saints of God to pray and to understand, do we not want
to listen to what was preached last night? Do we not want to
have our vessels cleaned so we can see that power of God manifest
itself? And sinner friend, you can feel
that, that drawing power bringing you to an ultimate repentance.
That's what he said, brother. Come when you come. Come and find him precious to
your soul.
