Well, I'm glad to be back with you
again today on Eagle's Wings.
I don't know how your week's been But
I'll tell you every day's exciting walking with
Jesus Someone said and they put it on
a bumper sticker many years ago.
I saw it down in Louisiana That life
is hard and then you die Well, you
know that's true life is hard and The
Bible does say it's appointed unto man once
to die and after this the judgment But
the truth of the matter is life is
hard without Jesus Christ The Bible says he
that has the Son has life he that
has not the Son of God does not
have Life these things have I written unto
you that believe on the name of Son
of God that you might know that you
have life That's eternal life.
Do you have?
Life do you have?
Jesus well this program we trust will be
an encouragement to you.
This program was born at a revival now.
I know That many in our day do
not understand revival I did not know what
I was praying for when I prayed for
revival back in 1985 if I had known
What revival was I might have been a
lot more careful in the way I prayed
But I'll tell you I wouldn't go back.
I wouldn't exchange anything Revival is Jesus again
It's Jesus again, and this is what we
need in America Jesus again.
We don't sense any need for God This
is why we're buying the ways of Satan.
We're going down the tubes fast my friend
Things are being set up and I don't
have time to share everything that I know
and if I did share everything that I
know It might scare you Maybe someday we
might get into some of the things in
the area of the of the new age
and then in the new world order That's
coming, but they're lining it up my prayer.
My vision is for revival in America We
are going down in every way conceivable a
couple weeks ago God Gave me another one
of those kicks one of those kicks that
just sent me sprawling flat on my face
You know, I've been wanting to teach you
about the Holy Spirit and some things about
walking with the Spirit of God Let me
tell you about the Holy Spirit.
He is a person He's loving gentle and
kind but he does know how to give
a big boot to us And you know,
we need it.
Sometimes I need it This is why I'm
working with four other preachers up here because
we need each other We had a prayer
meeting yesterday and if you were in on
our prayer meetings a lot of the preachers
in America wouldn't believe that you can have
prayer meetings like That where we share our
heart where we exhort one another we were
We rebuke we correct We love one another
we love enough to to get on to
one another Can you imagine one of the
elders one of your elders pastor coming up
to you and saying pastor?
You're proud You're proud and then the pastor
Would sit back think about that check with
the Holy Spirit on it and come back
and say you're right and confess it as
sin or some other area come in and
Be confronted on it.
It's rough But you know, I believe that
one of the reasons we don't have any
power in our lives is because we're not
willing To let God come in and clean
house well a few weeks ago I had
a phone call from a friend in Joplin
a good friend a Friend that I would
encourage you to vote for since he's running
for lieutenant governor Mr. Don stubble Phil And
he called me up and he asked me
about The Bible He asked me about a
certain version He asked me about the New
American Standard version and to be honest with
you what I did was I lied to
my friend Because I said well, I guess
it's okay and Then he went on to
ask me some more questions and to share
with me some things that were bothering him
that he was learning and then I opened
up and then I shared a little bit
more about how I really felt about it
and As the conversation went on through several
minutes, I was asked a personal question and
God used that question to reveal something to
me and What I shared with them I
don't I won't get into all the detail
with you today about but what I shared
with them Was that God had revealed to
me several years ago?
about the versions About how they're being perverted
and you know, if you look around at
all these versions that are around today There's
one of the main characteristics of Satan Present
in our churches because of these versions and
that's confusion and I was thinking about things
that that have divided the church down through
the years, you know We've had the ecumenical
movement, which is divided the church and actually,
you know when divisions come in They usually
reveal a line that's drawn and people are
on one side or the other Now the
things I'm going to share with you today
are important So you stay with me?
But God showed me several years ago about
the versions and the Holy Spirit came this
week Or not this week but a couple
weeks ago when I received this phone call
and He gave me a boot and put
me flat on my face and what the
Holy Spirit actually said to me Was I
see I showed you several years ago about
the versions and you've not acted on it.
Now, what are you going to do?
and Since the revival and of 85 God
has continually brought me to crisis Day after
day after day week after week year after
year.
It's been a dying to self And I've
had to come to a point on this
that I was willing To die again to
self and I said Lord you showed me
that they're corrupt And he said what are
you gonna do about it?
And I said Lord, I'll speak and he
said don't worry about the cost.
Don't worry about what it cost you my
friend I've been spending time in prayer and
going back over again What God really revealed
to me and going into it even in
more detail But we are being lied to
and deceived by Satan.
I Wish I could share everything that I've
been going over with in the last couple
weeks with you in detail I'll share a
little bit with you today About the versions
and I'm going to answer the question of
my friend.
I'm gonna read a page out of a
book by El Bynum on the versions and
I'm going to read about the New American
Standard version something that that comes from The
man that's responsible for us having it and
what he said and what he did after
God showed him About that version, but God
showed me several years ago that the versions
have been polluted The Word of God has
been messed with and as far as I
know if you have another version beside the
King James version You probably have a version
that's been tampered with With the possible exception
of the new King James I haven't had
time to go back and check out all
the sources all the sources for sure on
that But because I think that it came
through it came through the King James But
if you have another version the possibility is
that you have a version that is corrupt
My friend I've gone back through it again.
We have the Word of God in the
King James version don't let somebody get up
and chop it up and Change it and
try to tell you that this isn't the
Word of God.
It's without error That doesn't mean that there
might have been some things that could have
been improved on but there's no Era in
the Word of God sure the language might
be a little bit old But that doesn't
really bother us Because it's accurate now What
God did to me personally through that was
he showed me something about my heart I
have a message that I shared with several
with some folks several years ago in the
fear of man And maybe I've even shared
it on this broadcast.
I can't remember But I got to check
and I said Lord, why did I lie
to my friend and say well, I think
it's okay And he says it's because of
the fear of man, you know, sometimes we
can spend years in the bondage of fear
And I can't be any use to you
if I won't be honest to you And
if I won't be open and share what
God is teaching me And I'm like you
I make mistakes.
I confess it and get up and go
on Bothers me to be around somebody that's
perfect But never confesses to making mistakes We're
all like that as pride if we want
to admit that we fail and we make
mistakes as pride and A proud person can't
help you out very much matter of fact,
they'll contaminate you But God showed me Something
about my own heart.
Let me share something with you about my
own heart and then I'll share with you
about About this version and answer the question
publicly About the New American Standard Version if
some of you want to write in and
ask about other versions fine I have several
little booklets here and there's others.
Dr. Otis Fuller.
I guess is is a real good man
to get his book Which Bible I thinks
the name of it.
I don't personally have it.
Somebody's mailing it to me right now Dr.
David Otis Fuller, but there's a lot of
books been written on the versions and I
remember when I went through my training To
study the Bible I Didn't know much about
where the Bible came from and I took
it in soaked it in said well This
is the way it is.
And then several years later God the Holy
Spirit came along and said you were lied
to You were drawn into the Alexandrian cult
You were deceived and my friend we are
in an age of deception and unless we
learn how we're being deceived We're going to
go down the tubes your church is going
to go down the tube Father your family
may go down the tube.
Your children may go down the tubes We're
playing for keeps the warfare that we're going
on right now where I'm at.
I Know for many of you if you
were in on what we're we're in it
would just scare you to death We're being
shaken.
We're being rattled God.
The Holy Spirit is showing us things and
doing things that that are just almost overwhelming
We know Who we serve we know who's
in control and we know what's going on
We may not know exactly what's going to
happen tomorrow because we walk today by faith
We can't look ahead tomorrow But our spirit
the spirit bears witness with our spirit that
we're the children of God and the Spirit
of God is bearing witness That there's something
lining up in the future someday soon and
we better be ready or you're going to
be deceived now the bottom line about The
translations is is that we're being sucked back
in to join in with Rome And after
I've after God got through with me I
could see so much more I could see
why so many of of the men great
some great men that I have known and
were taught under men that have Bibles named
after them and My teachers were taught by
them are going by the wayside.
I Can see why so many of our
schools are polluted why there's no power why
they're not turning out our youth to be
willing to Pay the price and go off
to the mission field and when Saul's and
then why they won't do it where they're
all at and why when they come out
they're proud and full of knowledge and all
they want's a big fat salary and a
big fancy car and they don't care about
souls and Why when they get up and
preach there's no power.
It's because we're being corrupted The very Word
of God itself is being corrupted and there's
no power in our lives Now let me
finish up with you what God taught me
about my own heart He said what about
years ago when I told you in 2nd
Timothy 1 7 about fear, you know, it's
2nd Timothy 1 7 It says for God
has not given us the spirit of fear
But if power and of love and of
a sound mind be not therefore Be not
thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our
Lord nor me as prisoner But be thou
partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according
to the power of God He said are
you willing to pay the price to walk
with me?
We're in an age of compromise Have a
sermon I started working on I said Lord
you want me to give this sermon and
he says no I Got about halfway through
with it and stopped But it's on conviction
compromise and division.
We've been divided in our churches We've been
divided the the issue of divorce has divided
our ranks And I got to asking God
What about divorce and tongues and the music
three of the major things that have divided
the body of Christ and the Spirit of
God Said it's because of the perversion of
the Word of God itself.
That's why this we've been infiltrated to accept
the fact of of divorce Many good men
will teach that you can divorce your wife
and it's abomination because God said you can't
You stay with her till she dies wife.
You stay with your husband till he dies
And then we've been perverted in the area
of accepting Demonized languages now, I believe in
biblical tongues We just don't see it too
much and I'm not going to get into
it with you today on it But you
better be careful what you're getting involved in
There's more demon demon demons running around you
think and they've got a lot more control
than you think And they're doing a lot
more damage than you think and they may
be in your life They may be in
your church and you may not know it.
But if you've got strife in your church,
there's demonic activity trying to divide your church
You may have it in your home In
the area of music I'm convinced that Satan
is working through this area.
We've accepted this rock music right into our
churches What 25 years ago we wouldn't allow
no way to come to our churches we
have today because of our compromise and our
conviction Why are we doing it?
It's because we've allowed the Word of God
to be taken away from us and we
don't have a standard anymore Get back to
the book Get back to the book the
Word of God you can trust the King
James Version and we've been given some lies
About the King James Version You better do
your homework or you'll get deceived We better
be careful The devil's playing for keeps He'll
get you when the scripture says that he
goes about as a roaring lion seeking whom
he may devour God's not kidding and There
are casualties.
I've come so close so many times to
be in a castaway It's put the fear
of God in my heart to know that
I could walk for with God for 25
or 30 years and All of a sudden
I could blow it all in one day
Do you know what the Bible says the
fear of man bringeth a snare?
But who so put it this trust in
the Lord shall be safe God began to
deal with me on this phone call and
show me how I had the fear of
man in my heart You know what fear
reveals it reveals a lack of love to
God And you know the scripture says there's
no fear in love But perfect love casteth
out fear because fear hath torment he that
feareth is not made perfect in love God
says that's why you didn't answer your friend
straightforward and tell him that that version Is
corrupt and I used it for seven years
after going through my schooling But I also
was asked this question What was my spiritual
life through like through those seven years and
I thought about that and I said I
went cold in The area of winning souls
to Jesus and also I went cold in
my Bible memory Somehow or another I just
couldn't memorize the scripture through the New American
Standard like I could through the King James
And Satan uses as a tool as a
trap in our lives fear Someone said more
souls are lost to eternity through fear than
any other thing This is why if you've
been in an evangelistic service or something in
years past when they used to have invitations
in the Bible believe in churches The Spirit
of God would be prompting you to walk
the aisle and get saved Why walk the
aisle make a decision and you'd say no
what are others gonna think that's a fear
of man Someone said more opportunities are lost
to witness through fear.
Are you walking by faith?
you know the Bible says we We we're
gonna live by faith whatsoever.
It's not a faith is sin And so
we think what would they think?
Yeah, what will they think in hell When
they remember that you could have talked to
them about Jesus and you wouldn't do it
You wouldn't obey the Holy Spirit because of
the fear man or me What will they
think in hell don't worry about what they
think about now telling the gospel.
That's what Jesus taught us to do You
knew and you didn't tell them you're not
their friend You're not my friend if you
won't tell me the truth, and I'm not
your friend if I won't tell you the
truth I love you That's why I'm willing
to pay the price to go in the
air and tell you this and I'll preach
I'll tell you the truth It doesn't matter
It doesn't matter what the consequences are.
We've got to speak the truth in love
Fear produces many byproducts in our lives and
many times I don't think that we realize
that whatsoever is not a faith is sin
sin produces fear or fear produces fit Sin,
whichever way you want to put it But
unbelief is the byproduct that comes out of
it You remember Adam and Eve back in
Genesis 3?
What happened Genesis 3 verse 3 but of
the fruit of the tree which is in
the midst of the garden God has said
you shall not eat of it neither Shall
you touch it lest you die God put
some some godly fear holy fear into into
Adam and Eve right there in the garden
a Fear of God a proper fear if
they believe this we've been okay today, but
they didn't believe it Men still won't believe
it You come down to verse 8 they
heard the voice of the Lord God walking
in the garden in the cool of the
day Adam and his wife hid themselves from
the presence of the Lord God amongst the
trees of the garden Why'd they hide?
Huh?
Well, you know why they hide they hid
It's because they were afraid afraid of God
It's what it says in verse 10 if
he had obeyed God and stayed in the
if we'd obeyed God and Stay right where
he wants us.
We wouldn't get into trouble and Fear produces
lying and we go on into that You
remember the story about Adam?
I better stop now and share with you
what I told you I'd share with you.
They God revealed to me and Here's the
answer to my friend's question Here's from the
man who wrote the preface To the New
American Standard Version and after he did he
got this version going He repented that he
had ever got the thing going and the
last it was heard And I don't know
how he's doing he was going up and
down the land repudiating the New American Standard
Version and the other new versions recommending only
one version the authorized version of 1611 the
King James Version listen to this as Franklin
Lodgton he's a well-known writer in a
Bible conference speaker.
He pastored a number of churches including the
Moody Church of Chicago He was a personal
friend of Dewey Lachman of the Lachman Foundation
and stayed in his home on many occasions
He was on the editorial committee of the
Amplified New Testament in a letter to dr.
David Otis Fuller dated September 5th 1973 he
said as a member of the editorial committee
in the production of the Amplified New Testament
We honestly and conscious conscientiously felt it was
a mark of Intelligence to follow Westcott and
Hort and by the way Westcott and Hort
or of the Catholic Church camp Bent on
destroying the Word of God I'll go on
with my quote now what you have in
these books speaking of the books on the
versions by Fuller strikes terror to my heart
I Fuller exposed the truth about the perversion
I'll just give you a little note on
this Fuller exposed the the perversion in these
doctrines and The men that that were following
the the the other line Didn't like Fuller
still don't He goes on quoting it proves
alarmingly that being conscientious Lee wrong is a
most dangerous state of being God help us
to be more cautious lest we fall into
the snares of the arch deceiver when the
Lockman Foundation was getting ready to take up
the copyright of the Of the ASV the
American Standard Version and get translators to produce
the New American Standard Version.
He invited s Franklin Lodgston Logsdon excuse me
to visit with him for a few days
Lockman told him of his plans and asked
his advice Logsdon Encouraged him to go ahead
with the project in a letter to dr.
Fuller dated October 15th 1973 he lamented about
his part in the whole affair the thing
that bothered bothered him most was the knowledge
that he could very likely have prevented the
production of the New American Standard Version if
He had known the facts as he knows
them now in a tape recording Logsdon tells
how that he wrote the preface to a
nude to the New American Standard Version It
was originally written as guidelines for the translators
to follow But when the New American Standard
Version was published it was printed as the
preface It is some four pages long when
he received his copy of the 50 deluxe
copies that were printed.
His was number seven Even then he did
not examine it at the first, but when
he began to hear criticism of it He
found that there was no truthful answer in
other words, he was wrong and He knew
it He could not refute the arguments against
the New American Standard Version And he came
to the conclusion that the New American Standard
Version was wrong Terribly wrong and after about
four months of soul-searching he wrote to
Dewey Lachman and said I must under God
Renounce every attachment to the New American Standard
Version Because of his involvement with the New
American Standard Version, you know what?
He said he said I may be in
trouble with the Lord Now brother Logsdon is
going up and down the land repudiating the
New American Standard Version And the newer and
the other new versions.
He now recommends only one version the authorized
version of 1611 the King James Version It
is our prayer that others will see the
era of Endorsing these corrupt versions and admit
it publicly as this brother's done Why are
not these facts generally known today?
It needs to be told and we're telling
it and The end of this little statement
says a reel-to-reel tape recording made
by Logsdon can be obtained from the Bible
for today 900 Park Avenue, Collingswood, New Jersey
08 108 and this tape documents the above
facts by El Bynum My friend were being
taken for a ride We have nothing more
than another cult taking us over You can't
get a hold of a Jehovah Witness or
a Mormon and get them converted with these
other versions Because it'll read the same and
why is it that you don't you can't
you can't find the translators Of the New
American Standard Version just like the Jehovah Witness.
What is it the New World Translation?
They won't tell you who translated it.
In other words, you can't check their lives
out and you can't check their doctrine out
We're being taken for a ride We're being
deceived and we better get out of this
realm of being afraid of the fear of
man.
We better stand for the truth the lines
being drawn Which side you're going to be
on you're going to be for Jesus and
live in the power and the boldness of
the Holy Spirit Are you going to follow
the devil?
The sad thing about it is you can
be a child of God and follow the
devil If he loses your soul, that doesn't
mean he gives up on you He's out
to destroy you and win your allegiance Those
that follow Jesus that live in the power
of the Spirit have the fruit of the
Spirit in their life check your life The
fruit of the Spirit is love joy peace
long-suffering gentleness kindness goodness faith neat meekness
temperance against such things.
There's no law If God be for us
who can be against us?
Well, my time is about gone.
I've got so many things.
I want to share with you So it's
not sometimes it's frustrating.
The only thing that keeps me on the
ground is the Holy Spirit gating feeling directing
reproving Rebuking me loving me encouraging me filling
me.
It's a joy to walk in the spirit
It's no fun to walk in the flesh
Well until next time let me encourage you
to go with Jesus and remember that the
Lord Jesus Christ is all you need Have
you yet trusted him as your Savior if
you haven't do it soon.
He's all you need but is he all
You want until next time may God richly
bless you my friend
