1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,320
If any man love not the Lord Jesus

2
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:03,980
Christ.

3
00:00:05,140 --> 00:00:07,380
Now let's go through the rank and file

4
00:00:07,380 --> 00:00:09,660
of this meeting tonight and say let me,

5
00:00:10,340 --> 00:00:11,620
let me feel your pulse.

6
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:16,920
You know a lie detector will quickly detect

7
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:18,820
if there's a lie in your system.

8
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:22,800
But here's a love detector that detects quickly

9
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:24,140
whether you're in love or not.

10
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:27,640
Or you can detect people that are in

11
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:28,440
love naturally.

12
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,240
But if any man love not the Lord

13
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:34,420
Jesus Christ.

14
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:42,000
Oh, that love, the Bible says passive knowledge.

15
00:00:44,230 --> 00:00:48,290
If human love can quicken the pulse of

16
00:00:48,290 --> 00:00:51,870
a person and can make them to be

17
00:00:51,870 --> 00:00:53,690
so careful.

18
00:00:53,850 --> 00:00:58,810
I've seen the worst bums turn into dudes

19
00:00:58,810 --> 00:01:00,690
overnight.

20
00:01:01,210 --> 00:01:02,410
I have.

21
00:01:03,709 --> 00:01:06,890
Fellas that would never think of cleaning their

22
00:01:06,890 --> 00:01:11,190
fingernails or pressing their pants or shining their

23
00:01:11,190 --> 00:01:11,910
shoes.

24
00:01:13,740 --> 00:01:18,940
Overnight they became gentlemen par excellence.

25
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,780
They couldn't talk Brooklyn Vogue anymore.

26
00:01:21,900 --> 00:01:24,420
They had to speak the Oxford tongue.

27
00:01:27,140 --> 00:01:34,500
Just human attachment, some human affection will turn

28
00:01:34,500 --> 00:01:37,760
a bum into a prince.

29
00:01:39,060 --> 00:01:41,060
Parsley doesn't stay that way.

30
00:01:41,300 --> 00:01:46,380
It's just skin deep, that kind of stuff.

31
00:01:48,470 --> 00:01:51,630
But the love of Jesus Christ, oh that

32
00:01:51,630 --> 00:01:54,290
wonderful love without which no man can get

33
00:01:54,290 --> 00:01:55,130
saved.

34
00:01:55,810 --> 00:01:58,770
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with

35
00:01:58,770 --> 00:02:03,210
all thy heart, with all thy mind, with

36
00:02:03,210 --> 00:02:06,610
all thy soul, with all thy strength.

37
00:02:07,310 --> 00:02:09,370
Sounds like law.

38
00:02:09,570 --> 00:02:10,410
It isn't law.

39
00:02:10,590 --> 00:02:11,510
It's a love affair.

40
00:02:12,710 --> 00:02:17,450
It's a proposal of almighty God to a

41
00:02:17,450 --> 00:02:21,250
poor beggar on the dunghill to you and

42
00:02:21,250 --> 00:02:25,490
to me, my precious Jesus.

43
00:02:26,910 --> 00:02:29,170
Do you want me to love you?

44
00:02:30,430 --> 00:02:34,230
A prince so dazzlingly beautiful and wonderful.

45
00:02:34,750 --> 00:02:37,330
Oh it's because we don't know him, because

46
00:02:37,330 --> 00:02:40,650
we haven't seen him, we haven't gotten close

47
00:02:40,650 --> 00:02:41,530
enough to him.

48
00:02:41,850 --> 00:02:46,150
Else we'd be wild in our love affair

49
00:02:46,150 --> 00:02:47,370
toward Jesus Christ.

50
00:02:48,070 --> 00:02:49,710
There have been people like that.

51
00:02:50,390 --> 00:02:51,750
They gave their lives.

52
00:02:51,870 --> 00:02:54,470
They said had I a thousand hearts to

53
00:02:54,470 --> 00:02:57,730
give, Lord they should all be thine.

54
00:02:58,110 --> 00:02:59,610
And I tell you every one of us

55
00:02:59,610 --> 00:03:01,910
would say that if we really got a

56
00:03:01,910 --> 00:03:02,590
vision of him.

57
00:03:02,930 --> 00:03:04,730
And the reason we don't is because we

58
00:03:04,730 --> 00:03:05,870
don't heed his voice.

59
00:03:06,230 --> 00:03:08,110
He calls us.

60
00:03:08,510 --> 00:03:11,370
He says come away my sister, my love,

61
00:03:11,690 --> 00:03:13,570
my dove, my undefiled.

62
00:03:13,810 --> 00:03:15,090
Who are you talking to?

63
00:03:15,470 --> 00:03:17,490
Why says father I don't pray for the

64
00:03:17,490 --> 00:03:17,790
world.

65
00:03:18,410 --> 00:03:19,930
The world has not known thee.

66
00:03:20,230 --> 00:03:21,730
The world has hated thee.

67
00:03:22,190 --> 00:03:25,010
The natural mind is enmity against God.

68
00:03:25,290 --> 00:03:27,250
It cannot be subject to the law of

69
00:03:27,250 --> 00:03:27,490
God.

70
00:03:27,750 --> 00:03:30,750
It can't be in vain you seek the

71
00:03:30,750 --> 00:03:32,850
love of God or the knowledge of God

72
00:03:32,850 --> 00:03:33,690
in the world.

73
00:03:34,050 --> 00:03:36,170
Even among the wise of this world.

74
00:03:36,470 --> 00:03:37,950
They don't know a thing about it.

75
00:03:38,230 --> 00:03:39,150
They can't.

76
00:03:39,250 --> 00:03:43,830
They're constituted of rebelliousness, of hatred toward God.

77
00:03:44,070 --> 00:03:45,130
They can't help it.

78
00:03:45,290 --> 00:03:47,250
Even people that talk about God.

79
00:03:47,610 --> 00:03:49,410
But he says come away my sister.

80
00:03:50,550 --> 00:03:51,610
There is a sister.

81
00:03:52,650 --> 00:03:53,650
There is a love.

82
00:03:53,850 --> 00:03:56,390
There is a dove, a non-defile.

83
00:03:57,390 --> 00:03:59,270
They are the hearts that have come to

84
00:03:59,270 --> 00:04:01,630
the blood to be cleansed.

85
00:04:01,910 --> 00:04:04,190
They're the people that have heard the gospel

86
00:04:04,190 --> 00:04:06,570
of Jesus Christ and opened their hearts.

87
00:04:06,570 --> 00:04:13,210
And not because they love him but because

88
00:04:13,210 --> 00:04:16,230
of his great love where we feel loved

89
00:04:16,230 --> 00:04:18,290
us even when we were dead in sins.

90
00:04:18,570 --> 00:04:21,930
He quickened us together with Christ and raised

91
00:04:21,930 --> 00:04:24,890
us up together and made us sit together

92
00:04:24,890 --> 00:04:28,510
in heavenly places in Christ.

93
00:04:31,140 --> 00:04:33,320
They used to sing in the shade of

94
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:34,560
the old apple trees.

95
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:36,820
That's a worldly love song.

96
00:04:37,580 --> 00:04:40,140
That's one of the clean love songs they

97
00:04:40,140 --> 00:04:42,000
sang 50 years ago.

98
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,980
Today it's all a lot of trash, a

99
00:04:44,980 --> 00:04:46,240
lot of hogwash.

100
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,580
Today it's defiled and rotten.

101
00:04:49,840 --> 00:04:52,880
It stinks like a corroding corpse.

102
00:04:54,280 --> 00:04:55,900
But that was a nice song in the

103
00:04:55,900 --> 00:04:57,340
shade of the old apple tree.

104
00:04:58,740 --> 00:05:02,480
But now in heavenly places in Christ Have

105
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,380
you ever been seated there beloved?

106
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,180
I'm talking seriously.

107
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,420
If any man loved not the Lord Jesus

108
00:05:09,420 --> 00:05:11,280
Christ let him be cursed.

109
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:13,480
That's a strong word.

110
00:05:14,340 --> 00:05:15,260
But he is cursed.

111
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,800
Jesus Christ says I'll throw that candlestick out

112
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,800
of its place except you repent.

113
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:23,360
I know your works.

114
00:05:23,980 --> 00:05:25,880
I know the gifts of God that I

115
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:26,860
bestowed upon you.

116
00:05:26,860 --> 00:05:30,460
I gave them to you but you've left

117
00:05:30,460 --> 00:05:31,740
your first love.

118
00:05:32,220 --> 00:05:33,480
What are these gifts for?

119
00:05:33,660 --> 00:05:35,080
That people boast of.

120
00:05:35,140 --> 00:05:36,500
That we like to boast of.

121
00:05:36,740 --> 00:05:38,500
We like to make a fuss over.

122
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,680
We like to make propaganda over the blessings

123
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,920
that God gives us and beloved all the

124
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:46,180
while we're being cursed.

125
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,020
We're being cut off from the fountain of

126
00:05:50,020 --> 00:05:51,100
living water.

127
00:05:51,540 --> 00:05:53,180
You've left your first love.

128
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,460
Oh Jesus cannot use me.

129
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,320
He can't do anything with me.

130
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:00,200
That's why he blesses me.

131
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,580
That's why he baptizes me with the Holy

132
00:06:02,580 --> 00:06:03,000
Ghost.

133
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,260
That's why he heals me when I'm sick.

134
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,100
That's why he sends the unction of the

135
00:06:08,100 --> 00:06:09,100
Spirit upon me.

136
00:06:09,460 --> 00:06:10,880
Oh I know your works.

137
00:06:11,940 --> 00:06:15,040
I know that you have discernment.

138
00:06:15,860 --> 00:06:17,060
I know all that.

139
00:06:17,700 --> 00:06:20,740
I know that you have stayed true to

140
00:06:20,740 --> 00:06:23,440
me under all circumstances but I've got this

141
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:24,000
against you.

142
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,920
You've left your first love.

143
00:06:27,060 --> 00:06:28,300
What is that first love?

144
00:06:28,980 --> 00:06:31,260
Why that first love is my love for

145
00:06:31,260 --> 00:06:34,820
himself when nothing else bothers me and nothing

146
00:06:34,820 --> 00:06:37,380
else interests me and nothing gives me any

147
00:06:37,380 --> 00:06:39,100
joy but himself.

148
00:06:39,900 --> 00:06:43,080
Oh he hanging on the cross.

149
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:45,040
There's my Branko.

150
00:06:45,500 --> 00:06:47,220
There's the lover of my soul.

151
00:06:47,220 --> 00:06:49,540
There's where he gives me his love.

152
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,500
When I eat his flesh and drink his

153
00:06:52,500 --> 00:06:53,060
blood.

154
00:06:53,300 --> 00:06:56,640
When I become united to Jesus Christ because

155
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,540
that blood was shed for me.

156
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,340
That blood was shed as the price of

157
00:07:01,340 --> 00:07:04,480
my redemption that I might become his own

158
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,680
purchased possession.

159
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:10,480
I believe a while ago I was using

160
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:11,880
the illustration of Rebecca.

161
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,500
When Elisa was sent by Abraham to find

162
00:07:15,500 --> 00:07:18,700
a bride for Isaac and by the leading

163
00:07:18,700 --> 00:07:21,200
of the Holy Ghost he had located Rebecca.

164
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:23,360
She was a pretty girl.

165
00:07:23,900 --> 00:07:28,240
She was a clean pure virgin and when

166
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,140
he knew that that's the girl that God

167
00:07:30,140 --> 00:07:34,340
has chosen for Isaac he loaded her with

168
00:07:34,340 --> 00:07:35,040
jewelry.

169
00:07:36,020 --> 00:07:39,240
Can you see that Rebecca with her raven

170
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,880
black hair now adorned with earrings and nose

171
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:47,980
rings and bells on her toes and pearl

172
00:07:47,980 --> 00:07:51,140
necklaces and loaded down like the queen of

173
00:07:51,140 --> 00:07:51,440
Sheba.

174
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,240
Coming to her father and coming to her

175
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:55,600
brothers.

176
00:07:57,100 --> 00:07:59,980
My who is she that comes like an

177
00:07:59,980 --> 00:08:00,920
army with a banner.

178
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,160
Why they didn't know their sister.

179
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,660
Surely whoever gave her that jewelry has an

180
00:08:07,660 --> 00:08:08,180
intention.

181
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:10,020
What is his intention?

182
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,160
Oh she could have gone to a dance.

183
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,300
She could have gone among the fellows of

184
00:08:14,300 --> 00:08:15,120
that age.

185
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,620
She could have been a queen in her

186
00:08:18,620 --> 00:08:21,760
jewelry but there was a purpose in it.

187
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:23,980
They said will you go with this man?

188
00:08:24,340 --> 00:08:25,720
Will you become his wife?

189
00:08:26,500 --> 00:08:28,640
That's what Jesus Christ is asking of you

190
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:29,820
and of me tonight.

191
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:31,620
Will you go with this man?

192
00:08:32,020 --> 00:08:34,240
If any man will come after me.

193
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,380
That's the first love when he's your choice

194
00:08:39,100 --> 00:08:41,659
and I'm so thankful to know that the

195
00:08:41,659 --> 00:08:43,860
Holy Ghost is here tonight in power.

196
00:08:44,740 --> 00:08:46,920
He can make these things real to hearts.

197
00:08:47,560 --> 00:08:49,160
He made it real to my heart one

198
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,420
time when I was like a lone sparrow

199
00:08:51,420 --> 00:08:53,800
upon a housetop in the Baptist church when

200
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:55,020
nobody understood me.

201
00:08:55,300 --> 00:08:56,560
They said he's gone crazy.

202
00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,080
Yes I'd gone crazy after Jesus Christ and

203
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:01,720
I knew the Holy Ghost had done it.

204
00:09:01,940 --> 00:09:03,200
You can't explain it.

205
00:09:03,500 --> 00:09:05,320
It's inexplicable.

206
00:09:06,060 --> 00:09:09,020
But I fell head over heels in love

207
00:09:09,020 --> 00:09:09,560
with Jesus.

208
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:11,880
I look back upon those days now and

209
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:13,680
I wonder how in the world did that

210
00:09:13,680 --> 00:09:15,680
happen to a kid like me?

211
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,280
Day and night I couldn't forget him.

212
00:09:19,580 --> 00:09:21,660
Day and night my heart was just in

213
00:09:21,660 --> 00:09:22,360
love with Jesus.

214
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:23,680
Not his gifts.

215
00:09:24,500 --> 00:09:26,160
Not his blessings at all.

216
00:09:26,620 --> 00:09:27,560
Nothing but himself.

217
00:09:28,020 --> 00:09:28,900
How did it happen?

218
00:09:29,540 --> 00:09:31,240
Why it happens by the Holy Ghost.

219
00:09:32,060 --> 00:09:33,920
It happens by the Spirit of the Living

220
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,580
God who comes directly from the heart of

221
00:09:37,580 --> 00:09:39,260
Jesus to your heart.

222
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:40,940
That's what it is.

223
00:09:41,020 --> 00:09:43,860
That's why he says his arrows are sharp

224
00:09:43,860 --> 00:09:45,880
in the hearts of the king's enemies.

225
00:09:46,560 --> 00:09:48,960
They slay that old man that has cursed

226
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,840
you and they bring life, life abundant to

227
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:53,100
you.

228
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:54,720
Beloved that's the first love.

229
00:09:54,820 --> 00:09:57,180
It's his love and he invites us all

230
00:09:57,180 --> 00:09:59,420
to come and lean upon his bosom.

231
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:01,720
He invites every one of us to come

232
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,460
to him and to get so close to

233
00:10:04,460 --> 00:10:04,680
him.

234
00:10:05,260 --> 00:10:08,220
That's what constitutes the first love.

235
00:10:08,460 --> 00:10:11,700
He is the fountain of living water and

236
00:10:11,700 --> 00:10:14,820
there is no life outside of him and

237
00:10:14,820 --> 00:10:17,800
it's because of his great love wherewith he

238
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:18,340
loved us.

239
00:10:18,660 --> 00:10:19,940
Think of it for a moment.

240
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,880
He loved you when you were an enemy.

241
00:10:23,900 --> 00:10:25,040
When you didn't think of him.

242
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:26,420
When you sinned against him.

243
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,080
He still loved you and oh how he

244
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:31,320
loved, how he loved.

245
00:10:31,700 --> 00:10:33,980
When he cried on the cross, I thirst.

246
00:10:34,660 --> 00:10:36,600
They brought him vinegar and he wouldn't take

247
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:36,780
it.

248
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,440
That wasn't the thing that constituted thirst.

249
00:10:39,780 --> 00:10:41,700
It was the thirst for your soul.

250
00:10:42,340 --> 00:10:45,660
It was that great burning heart of Jehovah.

251
00:10:46,140 --> 00:10:49,300
Burning with love for sinners and he wasn't

252
00:10:49,300 --> 00:10:51,660
able to gain their hearts in any other

253
00:10:51,660 --> 00:10:54,200
way but by bleeding himself to death.

254
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,640
That's the only way he could gain my

255
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,640
heart but he did thank God.

256
00:10:58,780 --> 00:11:01,920
He's gained your heart and now he asks

257
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,200
how is it if any man loved not

258
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:06,400
the Lord Jesus Christ.

259
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,360
We ought to search our own hearts and

260
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:09,560
see.

261
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,860
Dear Lord Jesus, do I love you?

262
00:11:17,140 --> 00:11:20,280
It doesn't mean that I've got a burning

263
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:21,220
feeling.

264
00:11:21,560 --> 00:11:24,640
That's very wonderful when you have that burning

265
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:28,180
sensation of love for Jesus Christ but there's

266
00:11:28,180 --> 00:11:28,880
another way.

267
00:11:29,260 --> 00:11:31,080
It's the way of obedience when you feel

268
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:31,500
nothing.

269
00:11:33,020 --> 00:11:36,220
When in the midst of a trial like

270
00:11:36,220 --> 00:11:40,700
Abraham, when everything had forsaken him and God

271
00:11:40,700 --> 00:11:45,360
demanded of him Isaac and yet he did

272
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,280
exactly what God told him to do.

273
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:52,080
My father or the three Hebrew children Shadrach,

274
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,500
Meshach and Abednego.

275
00:11:55,820 --> 00:11:56,480
Here they sit.

276
00:11:57,900 --> 00:12:00,040
And when they were placed before the choice

277
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,680
of a fiery furnace they said our God

278
00:12:03,680 --> 00:12:06,660
is able and if he doesn't our hearts

279
00:12:06,660 --> 00:12:07,120
are healed.

280
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,120
Oh this wonderful love of Jesus Christ the

281
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:12,900
Bible says passeth not.

282
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:18,500
The love of Christ which passeth not.

283
00:12:21,340 --> 00:12:23,740
The world says love makes the world go

284
00:12:23,740 --> 00:12:27,440
around and really today the whole world is

285
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:35,560
plunged into a foul bomb and their songs

286
00:12:35,560 --> 00:12:39,440
and their music sounds like the toads in

287
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,620
the dirty stinking pond.

288
00:12:42,780 --> 00:12:43,800
Do you call that love?

289
00:12:45,140 --> 00:12:47,180
Beloved men hate themselves.

290
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,400
I read a testimony of a pretty girl

291
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:52,100
some time ago.

292
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,960
She was an actress and she says I

293
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,220
hate these men that chase me for my

294
00:12:58,220 --> 00:12:58,560
beauty.

295
00:12:58,680 --> 00:12:59,920
I know they don't love me.

296
00:13:00,820 --> 00:13:01,880
They're hogs.

297
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,140
That's what the world calls love today but

298
00:13:06,140 --> 00:13:08,820
your heart is too good for that kind

299
00:13:08,820 --> 00:13:09,200
of a thing.

300
00:13:09,620 --> 00:13:12,640
God wants your heart for eternity.

301
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,080
Oh Jesus Christ is looking into our hearts

302
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,320
tonight and he says I've got this against

303
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:18,560
you.

304
00:13:18,560 --> 00:13:20,600
You've left your first love.

305
00:13:20,900 --> 00:13:23,340
When you've left me you left your first

306
00:13:23,340 --> 00:13:23,780
love.

307
00:13:24,260 --> 00:13:26,020
It isn't something you can produce.

308
00:13:26,900 --> 00:13:29,260
It's something that must come by union with

309
00:13:29,260 --> 00:13:30,100
the Son of God.

310
00:13:30,340 --> 00:13:31,920
His love is the first love.

311
00:13:32,680 --> 00:13:35,580
That fire that consuming fire.

312
00:13:35,940 --> 00:13:38,620
Our God is a consuming fire.

313
00:13:39,020 --> 00:13:41,920
Thank God and that love of Jesus Christ

314
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,780
will consume all earthly loves.

315
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,980
All the things that defile my soul and

316
00:13:47,980 --> 00:13:49,500
my body and my spirit.

317
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:51,420
That love of Jesus Christ.

318
00:13:51,980 --> 00:13:53,560
Do you want it?

319
00:13:54,620 --> 00:13:56,140
Oh you can have it.

320
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,320
Jesus Christ loved me when I was an

321
00:13:58,320 --> 00:13:58,580
enemy.

322
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,840
How much more now when my heart opens

323
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:02,280
to him?

324
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,080
When my ear is open to hear the

325
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,720
voice of the Spirit of God and I

326
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,100
tell you it is a great and wonderful

327
00:14:11,100 --> 00:14:14,220
distinction to be able to hear the Spirit

328
00:14:14,220 --> 00:14:14,800
of God.

329
00:14:16,740 --> 00:14:18,220
Do you know that the great bulk of

330
00:14:18,220 --> 00:14:20,760
people who come to meetings Pentecostal meetings don't

331
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:21,180
hear it?

332
00:14:21,580 --> 00:14:23,300
They don't.

333
00:14:23,300 --> 00:14:24,660
They hear it with their ears.

334
00:14:25,380 --> 00:14:28,220
But it's a great distinction when Jesus Christ

335
00:14:28,220 --> 00:14:31,060
has touched you with the fire of his

336
00:14:31,060 --> 00:14:34,060
love and when that word which is quick

337
00:14:34,060 --> 00:14:36,460
and powerful and sharper than a two-edged

338
00:14:36,460 --> 00:14:38,540
sword won't let you run anymore.

339
00:14:38,740 --> 00:14:41,280
It's like a golden chain around your heart

340
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,000
that binds you to Jesus Christ.

341
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:43,800
You can't get away.

342
00:14:44,620 --> 00:14:45,680
Others can.

343
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:46,580
You can.

344
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:48,740
They can talk what they please.

345
00:14:48,940 --> 00:14:49,440
You can.

346
00:14:49,980 --> 00:14:51,400
They can think what they please.

347
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:52,260
You can.

348
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:54,520
They can spend their time like they please.

349
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:55,440
You can.

350
00:14:56,300 --> 00:14:57,340
You're his bride.

351
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,300
You're sworn to him.

352
00:15:01,900 --> 00:15:03,080
You're one with him.

353
00:15:04,660 --> 00:15:06,860
If any man loved not the Lord Jesus

354
00:15:06,860 --> 00:15:08,140
Christ let him be cursed.

355
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:13,140
Beloved, we've reached a place in the history

356
00:15:13,140 --> 00:15:15,840
of the world when it is imperative for

357
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:16,580
us to wake up.

358
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,600
The Bible says the bright croon cometh.

359
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:21,220
Go ye forth to meet him.

360
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:22,840
And they that were ready went in.

361
00:15:24,660 --> 00:15:26,400
Do you know that that lies just before

362
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:26,920
us?

363
00:15:28,820 --> 00:15:31,220
It's such a thrilling thought.

364
00:15:32,260 --> 00:15:32,560
Such.

365
00:15:32,820 --> 00:15:34,840
You know this Bible is the most thrilling

366
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:35,260
book.

367
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,160
I've been at it over 70 years now

368
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:42,960
and it becomes more alive and more brilliant

369
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:46,160
and more powerful every day.

370
00:15:46,380 --> 00:15:48,740
That proves that it's God's book.

371
00:15:49,940 --> 00:15:51,500
But the wonderful thing is this.

372
00:15:51,740 --> 00:15:53,060
It's written for me.

373
00:15:53,500 --> 00:15:54,500
My name's there.

374
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:56,940
My God put my name there.

375
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,360
He wrote this book for me and he

376
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,240
wrote it for you.

377
00:16:03,580 --> 00:16:05,800
And I made the statement the other day.

378
00:16:07,660 --> 00:16:11,320
A physician of note made the statement that

379
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,000
he believed honestly it would be good for

380
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,100
humanity if there never had been a doctor.

381
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,040
And he said it would be good for

382
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,580
humanity if all the medicine were dumped into

383
00:16:21,580 --> 00:16:22,100
the ocean.

384
00:16:22,820 --> 00:16:24,220
He said it would be bad for the

385
00:16:24,220 --> 00:16:26,660
fish but it would be good for humanity.

386
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:28,760
And I said it would be good for

387
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,060
humanity if all the books and all the

388
00:16:31,060 --> 00:16:33,620
pamphlets and all the writings were burned in

389
00:16:33,620 --> 00:16:36,680
a great bonfire and people were forced to

390
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:38,200
get into this Bible.

391
00:16:39,500 --> 00:16:42,920
All things that pertain to life and godliness

392
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:43,520
are here.

393
00:16:43,940 --> 00:16:46,900
Here is the fountain of living water and

394
00:16:46,900 --> 00:16:51,100
people are digging fountains and cisterns that can

395
00:16:51,100 --> 00:16:53,880
hold the water and they drown in them.

396
00:16:54,740 --> 00:16:57,660
And here is the book written for me.

397
00:16:57,940 --> 00:16:58,880
An Old Testament.

398
00:16:59,540 --> 00:17:06,140
And here's a new testament.

399
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:14,540
I will and I bequeath to you the

400
00:17:14,540 --> 00:17:16,359
unsearchable riches of Christ.

401
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:17,240
Who wants them?

402
00:17:18,339 --> 00:17:21,760
And the unsearchable riches of Christ are himself.

403
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:23,960
Himself.

404
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,280
Oh and all his beauty and all his

405
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:30,700
righteousness and all his godliness and all his

406
00:17:30,700 --> 00:17:31,860
purity.

407
00:17:32,360 --> 00:17:34,220
And as I draw nigh to him he

408
00:17:34,220 --> 00:17:35,600
draws nigh to me.

409
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:36,300
Hallelujah.

410
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:42,260
He washes me with his own precious blood.

411
00:17:42,540 --> 00:17:43,720
Oh that blood.

412
00:17:44,300 --> 00:17:45,460
Isn't it hot?

413
00:17:46,980 --> 00:17:48,180
Doesn't it burn?

414
00:17:50,180 --> 00:17:54,280
Doesn't it wash away all uncleanness?

415
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:58,320
And he keeps me and holds me as

416
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,240
the apple of his eye.

417
00:18:01,360 --> 00:18:05,660
Oh come away my sister, my love, my

418
00:18:05,660 --> 00:18:07,740
dove, my undefiled.

419
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:10,760
That puts the stamp upon it.

420
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:12,260
My undefiled.

421
00:18:15,290 --> 00:18:17,650
And nothing but the love of Jesus Christ

422
00:18:17,650 --> 00:18:18,950
will keep me that way.

423
00:18:19,870 --> 00:18:22,470
If any man love me he will keep

424
00:18:22,470 --> 00:18:23,690
my words.

425
00:18:25,270 --> 00:18:27,170
Friend, what a privilege.

426
00:18:27,350 --> 00:18:28,210
What a call.

427
00:18:28,470 --> 00:18:29,210
What a call.

428
00:18:29,370 --> 00:18:30,070
What a call.

429
00:18:30,590 --> 00:18:31,910
Living or dying.

430
00:18:32,910 --> 00:18:34,710
Loving Jesus Christ.

431
00:18:35,310 --> 00:18:38,370
Go on world with all your siren voices.

432
00:18:38,630 --> 00:18:40,370
Go to the devil where you belong.

433
00:18:40,770 --> 00:18:43,170
Living alone with Jesus.
