May the Lord also bless the reading of
his word.
Touch our eyes that we'll see wondrous things
in his word.
That this word will be food for our
souls, for we will not live by bread
alone.
These days we spoke about the anchor.
I'd like to continue.
I'm sorry for those that missed these services.
I remember when I got converted, I had
a great hunger for God's word and for
services.
Nothing could stop me.
My God and my idol had been sport
and tennis especially.
It was my dream.
I thought I'd become a professional, make a
lot of money.
But then I got converted.
Things changed totally.
Then my first love was the Lord and
his things.
And I went from hut to hut where
there was full of smoke and I had
to sit low down to get out of
the smoke.
And I preached the gospel to them.
And with Paul I say I counted it.
That which was gained to me as done.
As done.
Before when tennis was played and I wasn't
there, I'd get physically sick.
But when Jesus was here, I forgot about
it.
I went to Zulu huts full of smoke
and I smelled like Schwarzwälder Schinken.
That's the smell I had when I got
out there.
But it was the greatest joy for me
to tell these people about Christ.
If you have gone to a rugby match
or a great soccer match to look at
it.
And you have never went into a black
hut full of smoke and told them about
Jesus.
I tell you, have a new look at
your life and ask yourself whether Christ is
within you.
I think the wrong wolf is there.
I think the wrong
wolf is there.
If you haven't been to anyone else, have
you ever been to the other nations to
bring them the gospel?
Tell them about Christ?
Then I say, well I don't know whether
there's any life in you.
Because Christ says we must go to the
nations.
Hebrews chapter 6 verse 19.
Hebrews 6 verse 19.
This hope we have is an anchor of
the soul.
A hope both sure and steadfast and one
which enters within the veil.
I will still speak about the verses preceding
this one and those after.
We need an anchor like a ship.
A ship without an anchor is lost.
An anchor that can be thrown overboard.
It can go right down deep to the
bottom of the water, right to the bed.
Like these young boys that go to the
prostitutes whose eyes follow them.
Who are attracted to them and worldly things
and drugs and alcohol.
They've got no anchor.
They're like a ship on a rough sea.
Now let me ask you all who are
here, young and old, have you got an
anchor?
And where's your anchor?
Why has your father got to plead with
you?
My child, not that way, this way.
Why has your mother got to speak to
you day in day out?
Have you got no anchor?
Every ship should have an anchor.
When we speak about ships, that vessel is
not the ship you find in Durban Harbour.
That vessel is your soul.
Your soul is your ship.
That's the ship that needs an anchor, the
soul.
The sea is not the Indian Ocean or
the Atlantic.
The sea is the world.
Your soul in this world.
That's what we're talking about.
Your soul has got to have an anchor.
Where is your anchor?
I'm going to talk about something ridiculous.
If the captain of the ship would take
an anchor and just hang it up in
the front of the ship.
And then a storm comes, terrible storm.
The ship is blown one way and then
the other.
But the captain just leaves the anchor hanging
in front, the bow of the ship.
What will you think about that captain?
May God help me that I'll never be
on a ship with such a foolish captain.
If he does such a thing, I don't
think I'll keep quiet.
I'll go and teach him a lesson.
And ask whether there isn't a psychiatrist on
the ship.
Or he takes the anchor and puts it
on the deck.
Just on the deck where all the people
walk past and where they sit.
And the storms, the wind, winds are blowing.
And he takes the anchor and puts it
on the deck.
What a crazy man.
He hasn't got one loose screw, he's got
many.
He should go to the hospital as soon
as possible that they cut open his skull.
They'll find many things in there, even rusted
screws.
Or he calls all his sailors and they
carry that anchor down into the hold.
Down in the hold where the cargo is
put.
The wind is blowing to and fro in
the storm but the anchor's down in the
hold.
will that ship survive?
If you put your trust in yourself just
look at all the stupid men in the
humanistic world trusting themselves believe in yourself they
say believe in God and believe in yourself
but most of them say there is no
God you are God believe in yourself all
those professors and teachers and clever people if
you're an artist draw a nice picture and
send it to them with compliments
look
Mr.
Skippy look captain that's not the place but
maybe those foolish people aren't interested the universities
and the world they right here in our
midst even young people you think eradicate it
you know more and that's you see yourself
got a banter banjala back in my universe
will pay lunch a back on an apartheid
way to get on a Basha cook on
a bus 10 by you but I won't
I said a full deal but by a
was wrong by Azaz and you mother don't
think you've brought clever people into the world
oh no you brought people into this world
that are just as stupid as you are
when I get my moon I was called
she was training in Ghana I could have
on what I in Ghana I'm Mr. Gunfield
I as Lutifan an hour if you'd be
wise you'd cry day and night that your
children will repent and turn from the devil
and run to Jesus Christ for salvation who
will push a gun pillow was a column
in and I said so Carlo Guglielmo good
I'm gonna go seven thing on any army
will be pen do get Pumas on when
he but I get look Christ the anchor
has got to be thrown and into the
deep he hung a little guru would feel
possibly to lean to be effective who was
a seven cigar right deep through the water
penetrate into the ground the solid ground he
hung a tingle tool I lean at and
in German Z tingle China pants loneliness it's
liberty net to a lean pants the Babel
a east wind can come the Des Moines
I can come storms may come that ship
is secure steadfast it is immovable grounded in
that rock which is God himself when I
figure no my mood for more yeah it's
a voodoo voodoo no messing up a single
anonymous go to a loom Kumbi who pay
Peele yeah who fell a little tongue over
we love Christ Lelot on don't trust in
your own cleverness and brightness and sharpness don't
trust in your own strengths don't trust in
yourself say with a psalmist some 71 say
Oh Lord he knew I put my trust
that's why I don't mention his name Oh
moon yeah I'm foodies you're not too many
years he wrote the book
about the so-called new gospel when we
got saved denouncing it must
have been a Nessimite to him then after
some time he died and then after some
time I met one of his children and
that person said I won't describe that person
otherwise it will be too clear that person
said you know a look when my father
was on his deathbed was a pitiful sight
a pitiful sight she says you know about
a faithful dog he lay there and he
looked at me with bigger guys please help
me and I couldn't tell father and that's
how he went into eternity I have to
die one day and I pity you if
you don't make Christ your anchor you'll die
like that man lying there like a dog
begging his mouth begging his daughter his master
oh please help me he couldn't speak anymore
his eyes spoke and cried out and said
oh help me but there was no help
a clever guy his children being brilliant but
when he died he died like a lost
man a dog that was pleading for help
with nobody to help no anchor no anchor
and it's not just the old that are
dying there are more young people than old
people that are dying nowadays you
can be the most brilliant theologian you may
be the most brilliant modern Christian but if
your anchor isn't grounded in God in Jesus
Christ himself you'll experience shipwreck the
seven sons of Sceva when I heard Paul
preaching and I saw what was happening I
was so impressed I said this is what
we need I went back and then I
met someone who was demon-possessed and I
said in the name of Jesus whom Paul
preaches leave this person they had the soundest
gospel the purest theology I don't know the
highest standard but they had no anchor and
then the circus started then
that man with those evil spirits the possessed
man he played sports with the soccer ball
seven men he threw the one against the
other he kicked the one they left hurt
and naked pulled off their pants but
then you'll be
the
laughingstock of hell and of the devils and
demons with your good gospel you've heard now
the truth you preach it but you don't
live it and you haven't got this anchor
in your life now he'll play the fool
with you the devil will play the fool
with you now we live
in a time where we've got to watch
and pray watch the first thing people speak
of prayer prayer more prayer meetings sometimes they
start their nonsense and prayer meetings before you
pray you watch you watch yourself watch your
children and watch the
hoax design Harvey the toy for me thanks
boss up heaven hell you'll be the laughingstock
of hell they'll have much fun because of
you oh my cool me into a go
-kart it come with a zulu in the
got to my own I'm feeling I'm going
to lose satan is a plague if you've
gone on your knees have you repented have

potato rots amongst other potatoes yes it's a
rotten potato being in fellowship with the Saints
doesn't help you if this wrong wolf is
in your heart and you feeding him get
hungry now let me leave that and continue
regarding the anchor now he hanged me
what is the anchor he temple can you
lay you in a you don't know no
it's that secure hope and what is that
hope that is secure and safe and steadfast
who jesu oh I'm gonna get a lot
of milk is it take and I went
in well and really I have only the
ketamine see if a a large sugar missing
the wing wheel in England way it is
Jesus who entered into that veil according to
the order of Melchizedek he went into the
Holy of Holies into the sanctuary and he
went in there like John the Baptist John
the Baptist was the forerunner of Christ Christ
was coming and he went before Christ and
prepared the way for Christ now Christ exactly
the same way and to the Holy of
Holies as y'all and my forerunner general
general Johanna Papatis Naya why no moon to
all humble a pambila chesu which is a
says of figa wise him humble a pambila
long selling no
chesu was humble a pambila and so he
did he from heaven came to prepare this
way but not according to the way of
Aaron but Melchizedek there were two lines and
two forms and two ways the one of
Aaron the high priest and Melchizedek Oh Aaron
only
went in once a year behind that veil
to do atonement for the sins of the
people next year again after a year again
over and over and over because people come
confess the sin and then they sinned again
then more blood had to be shed No,
Jesus Christ didn't came in that way Jesus
came according to the order of Melchizedek Who
is he?
That word means the Lord of Righteousness Of
Salem, which means peace The King of Salem,
the King of Peace and the King of
Righteousness He had no mother, he had no
father, he had no earthly human descendants You
don't know much about him only that he
was God's high priest He came with
bread and wine Abraham gave him his tents
What a precious thing to give your tents
How poor are the people that don't give
their tents They don't know the joy, the
blessedness, the heaven of giving the tents to
Melchizedek To
give it to the one who's got no
father, who's got no mother, has got no
beginning and no end And it comes
and he offers Abraham bread and wine You
can't but be reminded of the one man
who said, take this bread, drink this wine
Telling his disciples, which annoyed them, they said,
who can't hear this?
That's a hard and difficult saying We should
eat and chew, in Greek it's to chew,
to chew his flesh and to drink his
blood Who can do such a thing?
We know cannibals But
if you don't know what that is, to
chew his flesh and drink his blood, you've
got no life in you and you don't
have an anchor God's
high priest, and what a priest, not after
the way of Aaron But in a new
way, everlasting way, suddenly he will say, the
eternal priest Who after his death and resurrection
rose and sat at the right hand of
the Father He went in as a foreigner
for you, he prepared the way for you
and for me My, what glory The high
priest, and what a priest, not after the
way of Aaron But after his death and
resurrection rose and sat at the right hand
of the Father He went in as a
foreigner for you, he prepared the way for
you and for me And then God made
an oath He couldn't swear by anybody else
You swear?
By the man who's greater than what you
are There was no one greater than God,
he swore to himself God
swore to himself, to his name He took
that, that Jesus died for you, bled for
you at the cross He took it in,
the way is prepared for you for all
eternity He died for you, he rose again,
he went through the veil and that is
what God has accepted for all eternity We've
got no sense, we've got no brains in
our head Just dry pumpkin pits If we
don't follow suit and worship him And count
this as the greatest thing in this world
God with an oath, God in heaven swore
He put a seal to this That Jesus
died for your sins The
man without a mother, without a father, without
beginning and without end Came down from heaven
and he blessed Abraham And
blessed his offspring, you should be his offspring
What a great mystery, God the eternal, omnipotent,
almighty That he identifies himself, comes down from
heaven to meet this sinful man Why has
God got such interest in you?
Why are you so precious to him?
Why are you worth so much to him?
You're just a worm, you're just a sinner
You'd be ashamed to get up and tell
us about the things you've done in your
life They'd make you blush And God comes
down in Christ Jesus to you and to
me I
said that anchor mustn't just tangle down the
ship in the water It's got to go
right down and penetrate deep into the rock
The eternal rock And
the Hebrew letter says, this anchor went right
down and right up Right through the veil,
behind the veil and struck into it Steadfast
and firm for all eternity And that's our
blessed hope by faith Grounded
firm and deep in the holy of holies
Penetrated right into that eternal rock for all
eternities And time to come never to be
moved And God put his divine seal on
it And as he said, I vow and
I swear by my own name God's name
is not moved It doesn't change, it's there
And if your soul is grounded behind the
veil which Jesus tore into two From top
to bottom And he went in there for
your sake, for my sake To prepare the
path, the way for us My, what a
gospel What truth But if God doesn't reveal
these mysteries to us It's no more use
to us than the Natale witness That's the
Natale's newspaper That can write all silly things
This hope, the anchor of the soul A
hope sure and steadfast within the veil Behind
it So allow me to read from verse
seventeen Or should I, from verse sixteen Then
just clinch the deal with God's word No
masikala vesili elinamashumin nestup Goguba bantu bafunga omkulu
gunabo Kubo nisfungo siak etau pikisana konge For
men swear by one greater than themselves And
with them an oath given as confirmation is
an end of every dispute Kulu kuge unkulungulu
etanda kakulimpe Lugubo nisa izin kalifa zezis tembiso
Ugunga kukuligi kwe trebolake Walamu langesifungo In the
same way God, desiring even more to show
to the heirs of the promise The unchangeableness
of his purpose, interposed with an oath Are
you an heir of that promise?
Are you?
Then rejoice in it and be glad If
not, then cry Before you cry with the
gnashing of your teeth Uguze
vesaitin Ngezin to ezimpili Ezinga kukuligi Unkulungulu
anekampe amangangas Sibenentutuzo Sibenentutuzo
Enamangatina Ezibalegele Evulibambini Ezili itemba Ezili
miselweyo In order that by two unchangeable things
In which it is impossible for God to
lie We may have strong encouragement or comfort
We who have fled for refuge and laying
hold of the hope set before us Ezina
lo jengehange lompefumulo Likunile Likunile Likunile This
hope we have is an anchor of the
soul A hope both sure and steadfast And
one which enters within the veil Lapu jesu
ezikichimi Sogusandulela wangena kona Eze waba
gumpristom kulu Kuzegube pagate Ngogoguma kuga Melchizedek Kepayena
kengayoguba ezala pagate Unopristi obungena kukuuga Ngakoge
ngaleso sizat Unamanda okusindisa ngokupeleleyo Abesa
kukulungkulungaye Luku epilelan jalugbame Hence also he is
able to save forever to the uttermost Those
who draw near to God through him Since
he always lives to make intercession for them
An amazing priest of God, our high priest
When Jesus stood before the high priest He
says this is blasphemy And he tore his
priestly robes into pieces Well done high priest
That's what your position and that's what your
clothes mean They've come to an end We
have got a high priest Not after the
order of Abraham now But Melchizedek, the eternal
one Who put our Enki into the most
holy place And he lives forever That's why
he can save us to the uttermost Not
half, not half Not 75%, not 99%
That's not good enough He can do a
perfect job in your life Has he done
it?
If not, you are behind time Get up,
awake out of your sleep And come running
to him Who can save you to the
uttermost Why carry on in your sins?
The high priest went into the Holy of
Holies once a year But one greater than
him came It was worth nothing But just
to rest in the presence of the high
priest And he ran into bits and pieces
Doing away with it And he ran that
curtain And he went in as the eternal
high priest Our Enki is safe And steadfast
and secure And he intercedes for us day
and night That's why we needn't go back
to the old life We needn't go back
to sin We can be more than conquerors
through him The high priest went into the
Holy of Holies once a year But one
greater than him came But just to rest
in the presence of the high priest And
he ran into bits and pieces Doing away
with it Now
in this case, when one hears this, then
one can truly and truthfully say, Amen, Hallelujah.
And I don't just say it as a
crutch word as many ministers do.
Some people they say something and they say
Amen's and Hallelujah, totally out of place.
They're just like a parrot.
They'll say, let's read the Bible, Amen, Hallelujah.
In Romans 6, 23, Amen, Hallelujah.
You are sinners, Amen, Hallelujah.
We've got many budgies and parrots.
I've got one at home, can talk.
If you want to see somebody who's like
you, go there, listen to him.
All right, have you heard?
Does this mean anything to you?
If it does, I want to see a
changed man and a changed woman.
Somebody who will live a life that will
be to God's glory and worth something for
the kingdom of God.
Have you had CFT members?
If you are alive, you'll be like that.
If you are not like that, then you're
dead.
Lord willing, on Tuesday, we'll be flying, going
to other countries, taking the gospel there.
Now you are staying behind.
What are you going to be doing?
Fall asleep?
Snore?
What are you going to do?
If that's what you're going to do, woe
to you.
And woe to you.
And woe to you again.
Let's pray.
Let's get up.
Stand.
Have mercy on us, O God, and reveal
those hidden truths and mysteries to us.
That our souls won't be swayed, tossed to
and fro by the winds of this world
and this time.
But that we'll be comforted by this anchor,
behind the veil, for all eternities to come,
safe, secure.
Amen.
