Thanks, sir. I want to thank
the Lord today for this opportunity and privilege I have to be back
with you again. I want to thank the Lord for
saving my soul and giving me eternal life. And I tell you,
doing something for me that nobody else could do. I couldn't change
my course. I couldn't change my ways. I
was born a sinner. I was born ungodly. And I tell
you, I was born in this world to die. I tell you, the sense
of death, soon as I was born, there was a sense of death in
my body. I tell you, when man fell to sin, Therefore, I needed
a Savior. And I'm so thankful that we had
those that prayed for me, God's saints that prayed for me and
got me in the presence of the Lord. And I'm so thankful that
Lord heard their cry, He heard their prayer, and He saved my
soul at a young age. When I was eight years old, the
Lord got a hold of my heart, dealt with me. I realized I was
a sinner. I realized I was on my way to
hell. I realized I couldn't help myself. I tell you, I didn't
know what to do, which way to turn. But thank God, by the preaching
of the Word of God, the Lord gave me eyes to see, ears to
hear, and a heart to understand. And I was able to call on the
name of Jesus. And I tell you, He heard my feeble
cry. I mean, He delivered me out of
my sin troubles. I mean, He pulled me up out of
that old horrible pit. He brought me out, I tell you,
and made me a new creature in Christ Jesus my Lord. I tell
you, I changed that day. The very instant I got saved,
when I poured out my whole heart, my broken heart, my contrite
spirit, I changed that day. I didn't think the same. I tell
you, my desires changed. I wanted to please the Lord when
I got saved, I tell you. And I wanted to read the Bible. I wanted to sing about Him. I
wanted to go to church and I wanted to help people. God put a love
in my heart for people. And I tell you, when you get
saved, He gives you a new heart. He'll give you a heart to love
your enemies. I tell you, He'll cause you to
pray for those that had done you wrong and have been your
enemies, I tell you, you'll be able to pray for them. And I
tell you, the Lord will help you no matter what it is. He'll
take care of everything. The Bible said, when a man's
ways please the Lord, he'll make even his enemies at peace with
him. And I'm thankful to know that if we just stand on the
Word of God and we obey it, I tell you, if we please the Lord, I
tell you, we'll be able to go and to run and to be profitable
and winning souls, you see, because the Lord will see that we do.
And I tell you, the day the Lord He's a blessing to me, and He's
a blessing to all of us, and I'm thankful that He saved me. And I'm looking for Him to save
many, many souls. And some of you that's listening
to me today, I'm looking for the Lord to save you. Some of
you have been tuning in, and I want to thank you for that.
And I'm looking for the Lord to save you. I tell you, He's
waiting on you to just really want Him above life itself. And
He wants you to come with a broken heart and a contrite spirit.
and cry out to Him, and I promise you, He will change you. He'll
make you brand new on the inside, and you'll be a new creature
in Christ Jesus. And I tell you, He'll give you
the Holy Spirit that will comfort you, that will lead you, and
give you that great peace. And I tell you, it's nothing
like the peace. And when God gives you this peace, it's nothing,
I tell you, nothing can be compared with it. And I tell you, the
peace of the world can't be compared to it. And I tell you, it's good.
And I tell you, it's wonderful to be saved. And the Bible tells
us that when a man's ways please the Lord, that even his enemies
will be at peace with him. And the Bible tells us, how do
we please the Lord? We please him by faith. Without
faith, it's impossible to please God. But he that cometh to God
must believe that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek
Him. And I know if we just be fervent in our prayers, we be
consistent in our prayers, I know the Lord will hear our prayer
if it's according to His will. If we bring our petitions before
Him, and we put it down at His precious feet, and I tell you,
if it's according to His will, He will answer those prayers. He'll do what He said He'll do.
He just wants us to come by faith, and I tell you, come in believing,
knowing that we, can pray and that God will hear us. You see,
if we're going to get a blessing, we got to believe that God's
able to do it. And I tell you, if we'll do that
by faith, he will. And I'll tell you, he'll do it
right on time. He'll do it his own way. I'll
tell you, our ways are not his ways. Our thoughts are not his
thoughts. I'm talking about the ways of our flesh. And I'll tell
you, but the Lord is high above He's high above us. I tell you,
we can't instruct God. We can't tell God what He needs
to do. I tell you, because we're ungodly. I tell you, we can't match with
that. We don't know His mind. But one
thing we can do, we can have fellowship with Him. And I tell
you, when we have fellowship, He can make things known unto
us. And I tell you, then we can be able to follow Him and we
can know what His will is for our life, you see. We got to
know, we that are saved, we got to know what God's will is for
our life. And He wants us to know it, and
if we don't know it, it's our fault, you see. But God wants
us to seek Him with all of our heart, and put Him first, seek
Him first and foremost above everything else, and He will
guide and direct our paths. See, the Holy Spirit is our guide. He's our convictor. And I tell
you, we're to come unto God and ask Him to lead and guide us
and direct us, and He will show us through the Holy Spirit, will
show us how we and what we need to do and what His will is for
our life. I tell you, we may Not all have
the calling to preach the gospel. We may not all be a preacher. We may not all be a teacher.
We may not all be a singer. I tell you, but we all have something
that God wants us to do. When God saved us, He saved us
for service and He saved us to be a faithful servant and to
win souls, to witness. to testify and to let those know
what God has done for us, what Christ has done in us. And I
tell you, when we do, I tell you, it will be effective. You
see, the Holy Spirit will use your testimony. and it will burn
in you, and it will come out of your lips, and those that
are listening to you will feel the Spirit of the Living God.
You see, that's what's going to touch the heart. It's not
what you say in words only. It's going to be what's behind
this, what's impressing you. It's what's coming out of you,
and that's the Holy Spirit. And I tell you, the Holy Spirit
will speak unto precious souls and they will be able to hear
and to get saved. You see, no one's getting saved
without the Holy Spirit. No one's getting saved by just
reading a tract only. I tell you, it's gonna take the
Lord. It's gonna take what God has used by someone that he is
using by the Spirit of God to speak unto you, you see, that
may give you eyes, I used to hear and a heart to understand
and I tell you that then it can come back to you and I tell you
the Lord will speak to you by His Spirit and I tell you I can
remember when I heard for the first time I heard about church
and I heard about a man called Jesus I didn't know him personally
but I heard about him and I heard if I would believe on him And
with all my heart that I would get saved and I went to church
and I heard the man of God preach and he preached in his house
and I was a young little boy, young little fella and I tell
you I didn't know much and I still don't know that much now but
I tell you he spoke to me. He dealt with me. He gave me
understanding. And I tell you, I felt that Holy
Spirit coming out of that man. I tell you, he was preaching,
my pastor, he was preaching the Word of God. And I tell you,
it fell on the good ground of my heart, you see. The Word of
God, the hammer, broke up that hardened heart of mine. It broke
it up in pieces. It made it very soft. And I tell
you, when I heard the gospel, I believed it. And that Word
was able to take root. It was sown in my heart. and
it was able to take root. And when it did, I tell you,
it come up. I tell you, a new creature. I
came, a brand new man. And I tell you, I've been a brand
new person ever since I got saved. And I tell you, friend, I'm here
to tell you that it's nothing like being saved. I'm here to
tell you you're wasting your life if you're not saved. You're
wasting your life if you never had that experience that I'm
talking about It's a born-again experience. It's where you give
up yourself and call on Him. I tell you, then you'll get born
again. You'll be born a second time,
which means you've been born from the Spirit from above. The
first birth got you into the world. The second birth will
take you out of this world into the presence of the Lord, into
heaven itself. And I'll tell you, if you need
anybody to be in Christ, He is a new creature. You have this
born-again experience. You prayed, your heart was broke,
and you cried out to God. It was the sinner's prayer coming
from the depth of your soul. God, have mercy on me, a sinner,
and forgive me of every sin I've committed. And I'll tell you,
if you really want that, and you really, Mean that, I promise
you. He'll take that spiritual knife,
and he'll cut out that old heart of stone, and he'll put a heart
of flesh in you, and he'll make you a new creature, you see,
and he'll give you something to live for. He'll give you a
purpose and meaning in life. It don't make no difference.
You may be bound up with drugs. You may be bound up with alcohol.
You may be bound up with sex. You may be bound up with demons,
and demons are strong, and I tell you, demons will possess you,
and the demons will torment you. And I tell you, but the Lord,
if you'll cry out to Him and ask Him to have mercy upon you
and rebuke the devil and to save your soul from hell and just
don't let up until you know that you've been saved, until He's
delivered you from those drugs and alcohol and those demons,
that's got a hold of you, don't let up, get by yourself somewhere
and pray and ask him to have mercy upon you, and my friend,
he will, and you won't go around saying, I think I'm saved, I
hope I'm saved, but you'll say, I know I'm saved because when
he does that mighty work inside of you, I tell you, you'll be
a new creature and you'll know that heaviness and that grief
The burden of sin will be gone, and I tell you, your heart will
be light, and the Holy Spirit will take His abode in your heart,
and you'll never be alone. You'll never be by yourself.
You'll have a friend always, each and every day. I mean, in
the morning, in the evening, and through the nighttime, in
the night season, the day season, He is there, my friend, today. And I tell you, He's calling
your name. He's called you to repentance, and don't push Him
off. I tell you, come to Him while
you can. I tell you, the Bible tells us,
just like this old blind man, blind Bartimaeus, sitting by
the wayside, begging, he had a gneed. He was blind. And the
Bible said, hear that he called on the Lord. And the Bible said
that some told him to hold his peace, but he cried out the more
so, I believe it was. And the Bible said Jesus stood
still and commanded him to be called. And they called the blind
man, saying unto him, be of good comfort. Rise, He calleth for
thee. And I tell you, the Lord's calling
you today. And be of good comfort. I tell
you, He's able. He's able to save. He's able
to deliver. And He's calling you. I tell
you, God's not limited. God is the God of all the earth.
He has all power in heaven and earth. I tell you, be of good
comfort. Come unto Him. And he casted
away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus. And Jesus answered
and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee?
And he said, Lord, that I might receive my sight. And Jesus said
unto him, Go thy way. Thy faith hath made thee whole.
And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus. in
the way. When you get saved, my friend,
immediately you will receive your sight. You will receive
gladness. You will receive peace. You will
receive joy. You will receive the Holy Spirit
of God. You don't get that later. You
get it right when He saves you. Immediately you'll receive your
sight and you'll have this great desire to follow Him and follow
Him wherever He goes, where He leads, I will follow, where he
leads, I will go. Like the good old song says,
where he leads, I'll go. He's our shepherd. We're the
sheep. And I tell you, he leads us beside
the still waters. He restores our soul. We walk through the valley of
shadowed death. We'll fear no evil because he
is with us. And the Bible said, the word,
thy rod and thy staff do comfort me. and that prepares a table
before me in the presence of my enemies. You see, my friend,
today, when your ways please the Lord, even your enemies,
may we be at peace with you. I tell you, you get saved. God
is giving you heart. And I tell you, you're about
to go and make things right with people. You might become an enemy
to people, but you'll be able to go and make it right. And
I tell you, God will bless you. And I tell you, get by yourself
somewhere, my friend, today. My time's so quickly come and
gone, but God will save you right now if you want him. Get by yourself
and call on Him. Say, Lord Jesus, I'm a sinner.
I'm lost. I'm hellbound, Lord. I'm sick
of sin. I'm tired of living this way.
Please save my soul. Be willing to give it all up,
and He'll save you. God bless you, my friend. In
Jesus' precious name, and amen.
God is able
