I sang holy, holy, holy on the plane
here, very softly so no one could hear
me, and it just struck me again those
words, they're the eye of sinful man, my
glory may not see.
If we could turn to Isaiah 7, Isaiah
in what you call in America, Isaiah or
something, 7 in the Bible.
Before we pray I'd just like to look
at a verse there, or two verses.
The first is just one little part of
verse 6 where it says, their baker sleepeth
all the night.
And then verse 8 it says, Ephraim had
mixed himself among the people.
Ephraim is a cake, not turn.
Now if you look into Jews, I'm going
to call it history or culture, whatever you
call it, they used to have something like
a pancake, and they used to bake it
on a rock.
And it was very easy for this pancake,
this cake to be burnt on the one
side, and very raw on the other side.
And this is a very good picture of
Ephraim at this time which is talking about
Israel, in that on the one side it
was overdone, and on the other side it
was raw.
On the one side it was overdone, and
the other side it was raw.
On the side of religious activity, on the
side of doing things for God, it was
overdone, burnt.
But on the other side, on the side
of knowing God in truth, of having met
with God, of having a living relationship with
God, it was raw, there was nothing.
And this is very sad, and I wonder
how much of the church of today across
the world are not turned, people who do
so much for God, but they've never met
with God.
With that thought, let us go over to
prayer.
Father, we thank you that you are holy,
holy, holy, that you condescended to think of
man, that you love us with a great
and everlasting love, to the point that you
gave your son, for God so loved the
world, that he gave his only begotten son,
that whosoever believeth in him should not perish,
but have everlasting life.
And Father, I thank you for this.
I thank you for that day when I
met with Jesus, a day I will never
forget.
And Father, I pray in this meeting that
you will open up our eyes to see
the wonders in thy word, that you would
work in our lives.
And Father, we ask for thy presence, what
God is like unto our God, who is
near unto us in all things which we
call upon him.
For in the name of Jesus Christ, I
ask this now in faith.
Amen.
You know, I don't know if you've ever
walked through a graveyard.
Me and my daddy in Durban, in South
Africa, have walked through graveyards.
And there, across the hills, sometimes in a
small little yard, there's a few gravestones, and
sometimes in the big cities, there's just rolling
thousands and thousands of graves.
And when you're at such a place, and
perhaps the verse would come to mind, Psalm
89, verse 48, what man is he that
liveth?
What man is he that liveth and shall
not see death?
Shall he deliver his soul from the hand
of the grave?
Shall he deliver his soul from the hand
of the grave?
Now, I'm a person who likes sometimes picking
up a newspaper and reading in South Africa,
see what's going on in the world.
And the oldest and very strangest, I won't
say strangest, but not a very good newspaper,
it doesn't got much information, is the Herald
of South Africa.
And I remember going to my grandpa's farm,
and I picked up this newspaper one day,
and on the front cover, there was this
sentence about Zola Jack, who was a black
person in Africa.
And then underneath was a very strange a
little article, in which it said that Zola
Jack, at the age of 19 in South
Africa, had been longing, after he sent his
pamphlets off to get his photo ID there
in South Africa, he'd been looking at the
post box for months or so, and waiting
to get his ID back.
But instead, in the post box, there came
his films.
And on the films, along with these fingerprints
and his picture, which he had sent in,
were these words, Zola Jack, I'm sorry, we
are sorry that we cannot issue with the
photo ID, because you are dead.
You deceased March 11, 2004.
And there was a little form saying that
he should make an affidavit to tell them
if you're still alive.
And you know, like you, the first time
I read this, I thought, wow, if I
got something like that, I'd put it against
the wall, and show it to my grandchildren
one day.
But then I began to think a little
more, and I thought, you know, it's so
sad to much of the world who are
unsafe, death is not something to be serious
about.
Death is not something to be serious about.
I remember I was going with a missionary
in South Africa, I worked with him for
about a year, and we were driving in
a car from town to town.
In one little town there in South Africa,
we suddenly stopped under a tree, I can't
remember why, and we started to talk.
And Taylor looked at me, and he said,
I'm going to tell you a story, Roy,
of when I was a little child.
And he said, when I was a little
child, about five years old, my older brother,
Oket, he's eight, we went together, and we
went to this big lake, and we went
fishing.
And I suppose they either threw in throw
nets, or fishing rods, fishing lines, and they
got some fish.
And he said, they had an interesting idea,
that they would do, they would play, they'd
seen their parents, or sorry, they'd seen other
people talking about funerals and so on, and
they wanted to have a funeral.
So they took this fish, and they dug
a hole in the ground.
And as little children, they put the fish
in the ground, and then they did the
death march, and they marched towards that hole.
I don't know what they do in America.
But what's very sad, is that he said,
what I didn't know, was that at home,
at about that time, my father got a
pain in his heart.
And when I came home, I found my
father was dead, of a heart attack.
And there, that game was no longer a
game, that same day.
He had to walk with a real funeral
march, to a real hole, where they placed
his real dead dad in the ground.
Job 7 verse 89 says, as the cloud
is consumed and vanished away, so he that
goeth down to the grave, shall come up
no more.
As the cloud is consumed and vanished away,
so he that goeth down to the grave,
shall come up no more.
It's like an Arab, that I saw there
at the airport.
I stopped over at London, for a few
hours, and then I flew over to America.
And he was standing before me in the
line.
And over the intercom, to come in again
and again.
You must be, if you haven't checked in,
or got your boarding pass for the plane,
you must be here 30 minutes before, or
else we're going to take your luggage off,
and we're going to cancel your flight.
And this person was in front of me,
and he was late.
He was late.
And he kept on pleading with the person
in front of United Airlines, please, can't you
get my stuff, and can't you give me
a boarding pass.
And again and again, the lady said, I'm
sorry, I can do nothing, you are late.
I can do nothing, you are late.
When death comes, you can plead and plea,
but it's too late.
Before I went to Bible college, in South
Africa, it's the same Bible college my daddy
went to, when he was young, and he
lectures there.
So I had to be very, what do
you call it, very good boy at Bible
college, because my daddy lectures there.
I was going to Bible college, apart from
my father lecturing, everybody was Afrikaans, another language.
And I was going to be the only
English person there.
And Afrikaans are very big people, they're very
strong, in general.
And I remember at one camp, there was
a person who used to be a student,
this was about six months before I went
to college, and it was at a large
convention in South Africa.
And this person called Shane came up to
me, and he said, he's going back to
Bible college, he's an English person.
And he said, you know what, Roy, we're
going to take on those Afrikaans.
I don't know how he thought that us
two thin English people could take on all
those big Afrikaans, but it was kind of
nice having a friend.
But something wonderful happened at that camp.
Shane, even though he'd been to Bible college,
realized that he was a cake not turned.
He realized that even though he'd been to
Bible college for part of his life, that
he never truly met with God.
He nearly truly had his sins forgiven.
And he went to my grandfather there, Opa
Yanni, Grandpa Yanni.
And he knelt down by him, and he
rose up a new person in Christ Jesus.
And it was about two weeks after that,
that I said to my daddy, or about
a month after that, I said to my
daddy, you know there's this person, his name
is Shane, and he's an English person, and
we're going to take the Afrikaans on.
And my dad looked at me, and I
still remember he said, Roy, I didn't want
to shock you, but Shane's dead.
He died in a motor car accident two
weeks after that convention.
And you know, at first I was shocked.
Then afterwards I thought, you know, that's the
grace of God.
Two weeks before God knew he would die,
God gave him a chance.
He worked in his life to be saved.
But later I began to think again.
Is it always like that Roy?
Is it always that you're going to get
a chance, and just before you die, and
God's going to work in your heart, that
you're going to accept Christ?
Proverbs 6 verse 6 to 11 says, Go
to the ant, thou sluggard.
Consider ways, and be wise, which having no
guide, overseer, or ruler, provideth a meat in
the summer, and gathereth a food in the
harvest.
How long would thou sleep, when would thou
rise out of thy dead sleep?
Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a
little folding of the hands to sleep.
So shall thy poverty come as one that
traveleth, and thy want as an armed man.
You know, Dio Mudi, of course you all
know him.
He's a wonderful preacher over here in the
1800s.
He once stood in a large hall, and
he called out to the people.
And he said to them at the end
of his message, something like, those who would
like to repent and receive Christ as their
personal savior, please stand up.
And a whole group of people stood up.
A whole group of people stood up.
And then one was a lady, and next
to her was the person who was going
to marry her, a young man.
And he looked up to her, and he
tugged her on the arm, and he said,
darling, not tonight.
Tomorrow I'll go with you, not tonight.
And she, on the ground of his words,
sat down.
And the next day came, and she was
in an accident before the meeting.
And he stood there, and he saw this
dead body before him.
And he looked down at that dead body,
and the words of yesterday came to him,
not tonight, tomorrow I'll go with you.
And he put his hands to his head,
and he said, Christ is tomorrow.
Christ is tomorrow.
She was too late.
My daddy was once in a meeting, and
a man stood at the back.
And my daddy somehow felt that he must
say something to that man.
And he just found himself saying, begging this
old person walking out of the door, don't
leave until you've made right with God.
Don't leave until you've made right with God.
And the man turned to him and said,
I just want to think one night.
My dad played with him, but he walked
out the door.
I think it was on the way home,
he was in an accident, and he was
dead.
Proverbs 27 verse 1 says, boast not thyself
of tomorrow.
Boast not thyself of tomorrow, for thou knows
not what a day may bring forth.
You know, in my life, I was very,
very long until about five years back, to
be honest with you, a cake not turned.
I knew the gospel in my head.
I did many things for God.
I was talked about as a wonderful Christian,
but I knew there was something wrong.
But I wasn't serious enough about how God
could cut off my life before I was
right with God, to seek him until I
found him.
And I was like a little child, whose
father says to him, don't touch that hot
plate.
Don't touch that hot plate.
But until he almost put his hand on
the plate to make him realize how dangerous
it is, he's not serious about it.
And the Lord had to bring me in
close contact with death before I became serious
about it.
I remember there in Jeffrey's Bay, South Africa,
I was swimming in the sea.
I don't know if you like swimming in
the sea.
And I'm not a very strong swimmer, but
I like swimming.
And I was out there swimming in the
sea, and I suddenly realized after a while
that I couldn't get back in.
I couldn't get back into shore.
And I got weak and weak, and there
was only one person swimming with me.
And as I was getting weaker and weaker,
I suddenly realized that I couldn't keep myself
up anymore.
And I suddenly realized that I was going
to meet with God.
And I wasn't sure where I was going.
I was not sure where I was going.
It is a terrifying situation to be in,
to know that now I'm going to meet
with God.
And what made it even worse was I
didn't want to cry out for help, because
I was scared that this one person would
think little Roy can't swim.
Pride kept me from calling out.
I thank God I did eventually.
As I was almost going under, I said
to him, please help me.
And he dragged me somehow back to shore.
But you know another thing, when I was
often in meetings, and I was the pride
of the camps, and they were talking about
me as a wonderful Christian, I used to
sit in meetings, and I knew that God
was speaking to me, and that I wasn't
sure of my salvation.
And pride kept me from standing up and
going to the front, because I was scared
the people around me would think, good Roy,
look at them, concerning the drowning.
It's sad to think that pride almost, almost
landed me up in hell for eternity, for
eternity.
2 Corinthians 6 verse 2, 3 says, beyond
now is the accepted time.
Now is the day of salvation.
Now is the accepted time.
Now is the day of salvation.
Now I come to a very interesting verse
in the scriptures, 1 Corinthians 15 verse 56,
concerning death.
It says, the sting of death is sin.
The sting of death is sin.
And the strength of sin is the law.
The sting of death is sin, and the
strength of sin is the law.
Now you may ask, what has the law
got to do with the death?
What has the law got to do with
the death?
I mean, Galatians 2 verse 16 says, knowing
that a man is not justified by the
works of the law, but by the faith
of Jesus Christ.
And we know in Ephesians 2, it says,
by grace you are saved through faith, and
that not of yourself, but as a gift
of God, not of works, lest any man
should boast.
We're not saved through the law.
So what is the purpose of the law?
Well, the law is there to show good
people, like I was for so many years,
good people, that they too need to repent
and receive Jesus Christ.
They too need to repent and receive Jesus
Christ.
Isaiah 53 states, all we like sheep, all
we like sheep have gone astray, we have
turned everyone to his own way.
And people don't like to be part of
that awe.
They say, but I have not gone astray,
look at my life.
And that's where Romans 3 verse 19 says,
the law is there that every mouth may
be stopped, and all the world may become
guilty before God.
You see, it doesn't only talk about adultery
and murder, it talks about lying, falsehood.
You must honor your parents.
And therefore every single one of us, including
me, for so many years was such a
good person, and even knew the gospel in
word.
We've all sinned, we've all broken God's law,
and come short of the glory of God.
In Isaiah 59 it says, it's like a
war, it's like a war, our sin, but
your iniquities are separated between you and your
God.
On this side is God, on this side
is you.
And you can do good works for all
you want, you can go to church, you
can know the gospel, but if you're never
dealt with that war, if it's never been
washed away in the blood of Jesus Christ,
then you're without God, without hope, and without
God in this world.
And God will come in flaming fire, taking
vengeance on them that know not God, on
the other side of the war.
It's at this point in the sermon that
I'd like to ask three questions, three questions.
And perhaps, I'd love to think most of
you are saved, but some of you know
the questions, but listen carefully again.
What is our only hope?
There's a war between us and God, our
sin.
What is our only hope?
We all know that verse John 1 verse
12, but as many as received him to
them, gave you the power to become the
sons of God.
It says in Ephesians 2 verse 30, but
now in Christ Jesus, ye that who were
sometimes far off, are made nigh by the
blood of Jesus Christ.
In other words, when you receive Christ, now
you are far off and made nigh by
the blood of Jesus Christ.
That wall of sin is taken away.
Every deed you ever did, hallelujah.
Now the second question I'd like to ask,
the first is what is our only hope?
Well, Jesus died for us, and because of
that he can forgive us and come inside
us and make us new.
But can we do what we want after
salvation?
Can we do what we want after salvation?
The Bible says in Romans, what shall we
say then?
Shall we continue in sin that grace may
abound?
God forbid.
How shall we that are dead to sin
live any longer there?
In other words, Luke 14 verse 28 to
30 talks of a cost, counting the cost.
Now I'd like to ask the third question,
the first is what is our only hope?
Can we do what we want after salvation?
The John the Baptist, Paul and Jesus united
that we must repent if we want to
have forgiveness.
Turn from our sins.
Matthew 3 verse 2, John the Baptist says,
repent for the kingdom of heaven is at
hand.
Matthew 4 verse 17, Jesus says, repent for
the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Acts 26 verse 20, Paul preaches Damascus, Jerusalem,
throughout all Judea and to the Gentiles, these
words that they should repent and turn to
God and do works meet for repentance and
discount the cost.
Now I'd like to give you a little
illustration of false repentance, and it's a very
simple illustration, but if you repented in this
way, I can guarantee you that you will
not enter heaven.
There was a little boy, now in Africa
we still give the children spankings at school,
and the headmaster, I don't know what you
call it, you have the principal or the
main teacher of the school, he was the
person who gave the biggest spankings in general.
And a little child would often, when he
was naughty and did something wrong, go to
the principal and he would take out a
cricket bat or something, something like a baseball
bat and give him a little knock so
that it was sore.
And you can imagine he said, bend down
and gave him a good smack.
And then the headmaster would say, don't ever
do that again or I'm going to give
you a spanking.
And then the little boy goes to the
door and he looks at the headmaster and
said, headmaster I'll never do it again.
And then he walks out and he says,
I'm never going to do it again because
I'm scared of a spanking.
But I don't think what I did was
wrong.
And you know many people fall short at
this point.
They're scared of hell and therefore they change
their lives.
But they're never sorry about their sins.
Just to escape hell, punishment, they'll stop sinning.
But they've never come to the point where
they've had sorrow and they are sorry.
They say, what I did was wrong.
And that's false repentance.
That's why if you see later certain things
don't happen in your life, if you repented
in that way.
We must have true repentance.
In America, in America, there was a man,
he was a hero.
I hope you have, one of you still
got heroes in the world.
But this man was a hero in America.
I don't know if he was in the
1800s or 1700s.
And he was known by the president of
America.
He had done some great deed for his
land.
But you know he had a brother who
was an evil man.
A man who had done such wrong in
his country that he was on death row
over here.
And he fought for his brother.
He longed that his brother could get a
pardon that he might live.
And so he went to the president of
our land.
And then in front of the president he
said, president please give me a full a
free pardon for my brother.
Remember what I've done for this land.
And the president, I suppose thought of what
he'd done.
Did something I don't understand a president can
do.
But he took a piece of paper and
I suppose stamped it and signed it or
something.
And wrote out a full pardon for this
hero's brother.
And he took this free pardon and he
went to the jail.
And there he saw his brother.
And you can just imagine he longed to
give this free pardon to his brother.
That his brother might live.
That he didn't have to see the day
where his brother was cut off from earth.
But he did a strange thing.
He didn't say to his brother, brother I've
got a free pardon on yours.
He asked him a question.
He said, brother what would you do if
you had a free pardon?
What would you do if you had a
free pardon?
His brother of course didn't think it was
possible to have a free pardon.
And he looked him I suppose in the
eyes and he said, the first thing I'd
do is I'd go and kill the judge
who passed the sentence on my life.
And after that I'd go and kill the
persons who brought me before the judge.
You know that brother with this free pardon
in his pocket stood up.
Never told him about the free pardon.
He never knew.
He died without knowing about it.
He stood up and he walked out without
saying another word.
And you know Jesus like that brother longs
to give you a free pardon.
He's brought it on Calvary.
It's there on the cross.
Everything is done.
It is finished.
But if you don't have true repentance, then
he's going to walk out and he's going
to never give you that pardon though you
beg for it.
You don't turn and confess your sins as
wrong.
Now if, if you have truly repented and
received Christ, if you have truly, not false
repentance, true repentance and have received Christ, you
will bear fruit.
The Bible says in Matthew 7 verse 19,
every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit
is hewn down and cast into the fire.
Now my grandfather, he's got a orange farm
and I've never seen a orange tree of
as many orange trees in his orange farm
that ever anybody had to take oranges and
use sticky tape and put them under the
tree.
They didn't, they weren't put there.
They came naturally.
And when Jesus Christ is received into your
heart, he will bear fruit naturally.
It will be there.
If it's not there, then there's something wrong.
And of course you can mention of the
fruit, but the other things that must be
there, I'd just like to mention this first.
Zeal for God is not a good enough
test of your salvation.
Paul was zealous for God.
I preached at school.
Don't know what I preached.
I gave out tracts.
I sang what I enjoyed singing at camps.
I was a standout.
They used to talk about me on the
council of the missionary council.
I prayed when I couldn't.
I read my Bible, but I wasn't saved.
Zeal for God is not a good enough
test.
But there was a verse that puzzled me.
There's in the Bible that said, he that
loves father or mother more than me is
not worthy of me.
And he that loveth son or daughter more
than me is not worthy of me.
And I couldn't understand.
There was, I didn't know it perfectly.
There's a war between me and God.
And I love my daddy and my mommy
so much.
I love them with the love that, I
mean, I grew up with them.
I love them.
I couldn't work myself up to love God
who I've never met more than my mother
and father, which I knew all my life.
I couldn't work myself up.
Until four years back when Romans five is
five became true in my life.
The love of God shed aboard in my
heart through the Holy Spirit.
You see, when Christ comes, his Holy Spirit
comes on you and he sheds aboard the
love of God.
And now I know I love my father
and mother, not less, but I love God
more than my father and mother.
I couldn't work that up.
You can't if you're unsaved.
The second thing, and I'd like to read
a few verses here.
Listen carefully.
One Corinthians two verse 40, but the natural
man receiveth not the things of the spirit.
The natural man, the unsaved man receiveth not
the things of the spirit.
Romans eight verse nine, be now, if any
man have not the spirit of Christ, he
is none of his.
For as many, verse 14, are led by
the spirit of God, they are the sons
of God.
One John four verse 13, hereby know we
that we dwell in him and he in
us because he has given us of his
spirit.
The leather killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
And I'd like to just ask you today,
do you have the ministry of the Holy
Spirit in your life?
I'm not talking about funny things, I'm just
asking this, the main question I could ever
ask when the Holy Spirit comes into you,
and suddenly the Bible will become alive.
When you receive Christ, I'll say something very
wrong, this book will not be book anymore,
it will be word of God.
And I'd like to read you some of
the revivalists, what they said in this.
Dear Moody, I remember one night when the
Bible was the driest and darkest book in
the universe to me.
The next day it became entirely different.
I thought I had the key to it.
I'd been born of the spirit.
Spurgeon wrote, if the Bible is dry to
you, you'll be dry at last in hell.
If you do not esteem it as better
than your necessary food, there is no hope
for you, for you lack the greatest evidence
of your Christianity.
Charles Spurgeon.
Many people come up to my dad and
say, I didn't have a wonderful feeling when
I got saved.
Obviously feeling has nothing to do with faith.
My father just asked him one question, did
the Bible become a new book to you
when you knelt and prayed?
Did the Bible become a new book to
you when you knelt and prayed?
And if so, you were saved.
But if not, you must seek God.
So zeal is not good enough.
They that love God are known of him,
says Corinthians.
The love of God is shed upon the
heart.
And thirdly, the ministry of the Holy Spirit,
where he comes inside us when we're born
again, when we receive Christ and he opens
up the Bible.
Obviously there's sections which all of us struggle
with, but across the Bible it becomes alive
and you know God, it can only be
God is speaking to you.
2 Corinthians 13 verse 5 says, examine yourselves
whether ye be in the faith.
And in light of the scriptures of Hebrews,
where it says, as it is appointed unto
men once to die, as it is appointed
unto men once to die, but after this
the judgment.
And then that day we're going to see
many religious people, people who are zealous for
God, takes not turn.
Many shall say to me on that day,
Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy
name?
And in thy name have cast out devils,
and in thy name thy many wonderful works,
and I shall profess unto you.
Then will I profess unto them, I never
knew you.
Depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
And light of that, we can ask ourselves
the question, is it better to make certain
now or later?
Tomorrow does not deserve tomorrow.
I was once, and I'm going to end
off with two little illustrations.
I was once in the Western Cape of
South Africa, and I was at the house
of an Afrikaner, a farmer, well most of
them are, but he was doing some other
work.
And I remember I was doing the dishes,
washing the dishes away and washing the cups.
And there was this cup, and I had
a problem with this cup.
I couldn't remember if I'd washed it or
not.
And I remember, I suppose I thought of
the trees and the birds and stuff like
that, and it somehow was confusing to me
whether I'd washed it.
So I turned to this person, and I
just asked him simply, what must I do?
I don't know if I've washed this cup.
I mean obviously I should have just washed
it and not asked him.
But he turned to me, and he said
in another language, Roy, if you're not certain,
wash it again.
If you're not certain, wash it again.
In other words, make certain this time.
Now I have a great, great, something like
that, auntie, name is Tony, Emily.
She's dead.
And she as a little child came out
for salvation, and at her deathbed, I think
my dad was at her deathbed, a few
hours before she died.
And she said, Keith, I've got a problem.
I came out, I was uncertain as a
young child, and asked God to save me.
But I never had what you people have.
It was an amazing change in my life.
And of course my grandfather was a drunkard,
and my dad came out of sin.
And she lived with these wonderful changes in
their lives.
And he said, I never had that.
You keep on speaking about being born again.
And my dad looked at her, as he
talked about the death that was entering her
life just shortly before she died.
And he said, auntie Emily, thank God that
you didn't have to change from the lives
we changed from.
But, auntie Emily, just in case, because we're
not playing with the soul in eternity, we're
going to pray now.
And we're going to ask God, and basically
he prayed, Lord, and she prayed after him,
I am uncertain, and if I am safe,
please confirm it for me.
But I'm just in case I'm not.
Lord, I'm going to look to the death
of Jesus Christ on the cross.
I'm going to look to the death of
Jesus Christ on the cross, and to the
blood of Jesus Christ to cleanse me, to
save me from judgment.
And he finished praying, and he said, Amen.
My daddy said a little tear ran down
her face, and she just said with a
smile, thank you, dear.
Thank you.
She died with peace.
She made certain.
I'd like to ask you three questions in
your life.
Have you repented?
Have you repented and received Christ?
Is there fruit?
Did the Bible become alive to you?
I've been honest with you four years ago.
I thank the Lord for opening up my
eyes.
But I went to a room, and I
knelt down, and I made certain.
And as a sinner, I looked to the
blood of Jesus Christ, and I stood up
a new person.
I never will be the same.
I can say from my heart that the
Bible became a new book to me, and
God was precious, and he changed my life.
And for many years, I was a cake
not turned, and the part of religious activity
burnt.
On the other side, a living relationship with
God, nothing.
Let us pray.
I'd just like to ask today with your
eyes closed, is there someone like me who's
uncertain?
With all your eyes closed, you just like
to ask God today.
You want to make certain today to know,
like I made certain, like my younger brother
Samuel made certain in one of my meetings
a few years back.
What a joy.
And you want to make certain today, just
raise your hand now.
Is there anybody?
Thank you for those hands.
Anybody else?
I'm giving you one last chance.
I know how many times I sat in
a meeting, and I never put my hand
up.
I never came up.
I'm giving one last chance for anybody else.
Thank you for those hands.
Not many, but praise God for every soul
that makes certain.
Okay.
I'm going to pray now, and then I'd
like to ask, and with your eyes closed
now still, I'd like to ask those only
two or three that responded after I've prayed
to come to me, and we'll go to
somewhere, and I'll take you through the Scriptures,
and I'll show you how to be certain.
And God cannot lie.
Let us pray.
Father, thank you for this day.
Thank you for thy Word.
Thank you that you are the King of
kings and Lord of lords, and that you
gave your Son to die on a cross.
You so loved us that you gave your
Son to die for us.
And Father, I ask if there's anybody else
even tonight that isn't certain, that you'd work
in their lives to come and pray with
us, and to truly turn to thee.
In Jesus Christ's name, my dear Father, Amen.
I'd just like to ask before we go
on, I don't know what's happening after this,
Brandon, whether they're going to have tea or
something, because I'd like to go to those,
there was only two people, or three, I
can't remember, but those people, I'd just like
to go to a room and show a
few Scriptures to them.
So if they would come with me, I
don't know where I can go, Brandon.
You don't know either?
Into the room, okay.
Or sit there somewhere at the back or
something, and then just pray.
And the rest of you can be dismissed,
but I don't know.
We're lucky.
But please, don't be ashamed.
Come if you respond.
