Welcome to From the Pulpit in Classic Sermons.
Each week we bring you a different message
from some of history's greatest speakers in the
Christian faith and powerful sermons from modern preachers
too.
This week we have Ralph Bernard with his
message, A Great Revival is Coming.
I invite you to turn, if you will,
to the eleventh chapter of the book of
Romans.
I make two comments before we read the
scripture.
We'll begin reading in just a moment in
verse 25 of Romans chapter 11.
The first comment that I wish to make
is that we are a day nearer the
great revival that is yet to come right
here on this earth than we were when
we met here last evening.
Without a shadow of a doubt, the church
has not yet come into her glory, but
she will.
The Lord gave a promise that the gates
of Hades should not prevail against his church.
That doesn't mean that he said the devil
is not going to overcome it.
He said the devil is not going to
be able to withstand it.
The church has yet to come to her
glory.
If I didn't believe that, I'd take out
on what we call churches today.
It looks like we're hopeless.
And we are as far as man is
concerned.
But we've got the Bible and the clear
promise.
The second statement I wish to make before
I read the scripture, after I read the
scripture, I'll make two or three statements that
I don't know whether you'll agree with them
or not.
I do not know your theology.
If they do not sit well with you,
just forget them.
I have to make them in order to
introduce my subject.
I want to reason with you a little
from God's word tonight on this thought.
A great revival is coming.
It will come in the days of the
glory of Christ's church and I want to
talk about how that revival will come and
then close with a brief word about the
evidence how we'll know when this revival is
here.
And I read about this revival beginning in
verse 25 of the 11th chapter of Romans.
The Apostle Paul says, For I would not,
brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this
mystery, lest ye should be wise in your
own conceits, that blindness in part is happened
to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles
be come in.
And so all Israel shall be saved.
As it is written, this is the way
all Israel shall be saved.
As it is written, they shall come out
of Zion, the deliverer, and shall turn away
ungodliness from Jacob.
For this is my covenant unto them, when
I shall take away their sins.
As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for
your sakes.
But as touching the election, they are beloved
for the Father's sakes.
For the gifts and calling of God are
without repentance.
Moffat, whose translation I love in so many
places, translates that verse, God never goes back.
God never goes back on his calling.
We have this statement made here by the
Apostle Paul, and we claim to believe that
he made it as the Holy Ghost guided
his mind, that all Israel shall be saved.
I believe, and I'll not argue, if you
don't agree with it, it's all right, I
believe the term Israel, is the Jewish nation,
not spiritual Israel.
I believe when it says, all Israel shall
be saved, that it means this, that false
prophets and false preachers who got Israel in
the mess she got in, and is still
in today, I believe that the power of
God will overcome them, and they'll not have
a hearing anymore.
In passing, we could have revival in America
if we could kill off 99% of
the preachers.
I hope I ain't one of them.
We could.
For the people do not think for themselves,
most of them.
They believe what the preacher says, and God
hasn't got many preachers, not many.
The term, all Israel shall be saved, does
not mean that the nation as such will
become Christian, nor does it mean that every
individual in the Jewish nation will become a
Christian, but it does mean that a deliverer
shall come out of Zion and shall turn
away.
The ungodliness of Jacob and Zechariah that we'll
read in a moment tells us how that
ungodliness shall be turned away.
Don't turn to it yet.
It'll be turned away by getting rid of
the false prophets who corrupted the message and
led the people in the shape they're in.
The word S-A-V-E-D, saved,
in the Bible is an interesting word.
I do not believe this word saved here
has reference to what we call salvation.
You don't agree with this?
Don't get mad at me.
I have to say it in order to
introduce my thinking.
For instance, the word of God tells us
about Adam was not deceived, but he was.
And the scripture says that nevertheless, the woman
shall be saved by childbearing, as your word
says.
And that either means that women become Christians
by bearing children, or it means, what it
really means, that they shall be preserved in
their agony.
For instance, the word of God says that
he is the Savior of all men, especially
of them that believe.
That means that he saves believers a little
gooder than he does other people.
Or it means, what it actually means, not
reference to forgiveness of sin and eternal hope
and glory, but that Jesus Christ is the
preserver of all men, and in a special
way he is a preserver of them that
believe.
You're out here on the lake, there's one
in this state, you see a man drowning,
and you throw out a life preserver, a
rope or something, and haul him in, and
you say you saved him from drowning.
That doesn't mean he got converted and born
again, but you kept him from dying.
And so all Israel shall be preserved.
And up till now, that's been true.
There's still a nation of the Jews.
And at that hour of God's great revival,
which is yet to come, for Paul tells
us that if we Gentiles were blessed by
God turning aside from the Jewish nation, that
when he turns again to them, oh, such
blessing will fall on this old wicked world
as we've little dreamed of.
Now, I don't know whether that's according to
your theology or not, but didn't just forget
it.
I don't want to change your theology, but
it introduces me to my subject.
The great revival that the world is headed
toward, do you believe this?
It's so.
The time of the letter rain that Joel
pronounced.
The time when he said he'll pour out
his spirit on all flesh, partially fulfilled on
the day of Pentecost, still without yonder the
future.
One thing I wish, I wish under God
that people would claim to believe the Bible,
believed a little of it, and weren't such
pessimists, and would open their hearts and quit
writing God's church and his program off the
record, and get a little of the glory
of God on their counter that says, we're
headed for great days.
We're headed for great days!
And I'm going to keep preaching to local
churches, imperfect as they are, as long as
I get one of them to let me.
Because some of these days, and I may
be alive, you can't tell when this revival
breaks out.
Boy, if I could live six months in
a revival, I don't know what might be
all I could take.
I'd say with Simeon, Lord, I've seen your
glory.
I'm ready to go now.
I've never seen revival, neither have you.
I've been where the fire blazed for just
a little while, and burned pretty hot.
Last Sunday night, the week before I got
here, in the church with an audience of
about 350 people, I saw over 200 people
profess to receive Jesus Christ as Lord in
just a few days.
Oh, it was blessing.
The other day, I had a word from
a preacher.
He said, all over that section of North
Carolina, they're talking it on the streets and
talking it everywhere.
I had a little touch from God.
I had a pastor that didn't bother me.
He wanted what I had to say.
Prayed for me.
He'd get up every night and say, listen
to this man.
And don't book him.
Hear him through.
Don't book the word of God.
And he didn't bother me.
He let me preach and preach and preach
and preach.
People went away greatly confused, greatly disturbed, defending
their profession, defending their church membership, defending their
orthodoxy.
But they kept coming back.
And then God's Spirit, after the word of
God had clouded hearts, opened the windows of
heaven.
And we almost went to heaven there a
few nights.
I saw over 150 people claim Christ Sunday
nights a week ago in a small church.
You say, well, that's revival.
No, that's just a little flame.
Just a little flame.
But brother, this world is going to see
a revival.
It's going to start in the city of
Jerusalem.
And it's going to spread all over the
world.
It's going to spread all over the world.
Now, there are no Jews here.
And you say, I'm not interested in the
revival that's going to start in Jerusalem.
Well, I am.
Because that's where the big one is going
to start.
But it's going to start exactly like a
revival, what we call revival, a little touch.
It might never go any further than Carlisle.
It might die out.
The flame would burn out for as soon
as I've ever been in.
That little touch from God had spread around
the world.
It's going to start exactly like a revival,
if it ever comes to Carlisle.
We'll start.
And I want to talk to you about
the two things that God will bring to
pass in bringing revival to any church, to
any community, or as in the days that
we'll yet look forward to, when he'll bring
it to the whole world.
I'm not a timetable man.
I may not live to see the time.
I don't know a thing on God just
about this world revival I'm talking about.
The only reason I mention it is I
think under God one of our greatest contributions
to this bewildered day would be to have
hope!
There's nothing on earth as contagious as a
man that's full of hope!
He's still got something to look forward to,
and that kind of encourages everybody he touches.
Every once in a while I meet one
of you fundamentalists and you tell me, well,
Brother Bondage, the last days and everything got
played out, and I want to get away
from you as fast as I can.
I'm bad enough shaped to associate with you.
I tell you, I want to associate with
somebody that's got a big gut and his
program's going to succeed and the whole earth
was created for a place to display the
glory of my Sovereign Redeemer and everything that
breathes before the wind up comes is going
to bring glory to God and this whole
world is yet going to witness and experience
the power of a church in unity, the
body of Christ, under the power of God,
preaching the gospel.
That's yet future.
It's coming, and it can come to any
congregation.
If there are six members of this church
that wanted it to come, I bet you
a dollar and a half you've got the
key in your hand and you can have
a touch of the power of God.
If this church were located, this building, one
half an inch from the brink of hell,
it'd still be far enough to hear from
hell for us to avail ourselves of the
weapons God always has used and will in
the future and would today, if he were
not hindered by us, to bring his blessing
of revival upon the people.
If you'll turn to the book of Zechariah
at the 11th, 12th chapter, I wish to
read to you the two things that will
take place that make a revival.
Just simple as falling off a log backward.
The brethren got a little concerned the other
day after these meetings had been set up
some weeks ago The foreman said, maybe we
won't have many folks for you to preach
to.
I said, well, I'm used to preaching to
a small crowd.
So we decided to go ahead.
And I don't want to play mumble peg
with this time.
Under God, you haven't got another day to
fool around playing mumble peg moaning.
We're a day near revival and time's wasting.
Time's wasting.
And this church got no right to exist
if it isn't working toward this glorious time
I'm talking about.
With hope in God and all hell, every
trick of the devil will fail.
This thing I'm talking about is coming!
Hallelujah.
How is it coming?
Well, a revival comes about in just two
simple ways.
When this revival breaks out in Jerusalem, when
this scripture, All Israel shall be saved, preserved,
till this Deliverer comes, I do not believe
this is the second coming of Christ.
Maybe you do.
We'll not fuss about that.
I believe it's the day of the glory
of the church and the day of the
glory of the gospel.
But however it comes, it's coming.
I could be wrong about an interpretation, but
I'm not wrong about the fact that there's
going to be a great turning to God.
It's described in the 12th chapter of the
book of Zechariah.
And from this passage, the Apostle Paul takes
his text that I read in your hearing
from the book of Romans.
In verse 9 of this 12th chapter of
Zechariah, I read these words.
And it shall come to pass in that
day that I will seek to destroy all
the nations that come against Jerusalem, and I
will pour upon the house of David and
upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem the spirit of
grace and the supplication.
And they shall look upon me, whom they
have pierced, and they shall mourn for him,
as one mourned for his only son, and
shall be in bitterness for him, as one
that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
The first thing that will take place when
revival comes, that will bring revival, men, listen
to me now, shall see who Christ is.
There has never been a work of grace
yet.
There never will be a work of grace
in the future.
You will never see a work of grace
here, apart from men and women being constantly
confronted in the gospel with a crucified, exalted
Lord.
What's the one task for every congregation that
dares to call itself an assembly of God's
called out ones?
We call it a church.
What's our one task, or one of our
tasks, is to keep on as a body
closely knit together in bonds of love, honoring
one another above ourselves, toting our end of
the blanket full strength all force ahead, to
constantly confront God and man with the crucified,
exalted Lord of glory.
No revival apart from the public and private
and instant and constant speaking to the less
of preaching not about, but proclaiming Him, the
One who was an offering for sin at
Calvary, and now is the exalted Lord of
glory raining from us all.
No revival apart from that.
Our task is never to change.
You listen to me now.
I'm not a crank.
I know what I'm talking about.
Listen to me now.
The Jesus that's preached in our churches today
can't save a flea.
The Jesus that most church members say they
accepted as their personal Savior, and they say
that they did it, and they made Him
their Savior, they made Him their Lord, and
all that tomfoolery.
There's two things about the Jesus that's been
preached in America, that's been preached, I expect,
in Colorado.
The two things about Him that make Him
different from the Christ of God.
The Jesus that is popularly preached today, and
the only one this generation knows anything about,
is the Jesus who made some sort of
a gesture of love, but was not a
sin offering on Golgotha's hill.
But when man come face to face with
the Christ who poured out His soul unto
death, and God hung Him on a cross
as an offering for sin, as a vital,
necessary remedy.
That Jesus who poured out His soul unto
death, under the lash of God's holy law,
and the wicked machinations of evil did, that
Jesus has yet, for the most part, to
be preached in our generation.
People today admire Him.
People today talk about Him.
People today do everything except recognize Him as
God's sin offering, doing for them what they
could not do for themselves, taking their place
and paying their guilty debt.
They shall look on Him whom they have
pierced.
When men see who Jesus is, revivals come,
brother.
Revivals come.
When they see Him as a sin offering
on the cross, and an exalted Lord on
the throne, they shall see their utter need
of Him as their substitute, and their utter
need of Him as their absolute Lord.
You'll never, you'll never, never be saved if
you never see Him as an actual sin
offering, now seated on a throne.
Now seated on a throne.
The second thing that God uses, I
will pour upon the house of David and
upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem the spirit of
grace and supplication.
God says, I'll do it.
I'll do it.
Where you've got men under the power of
God, their eyes are being opened, and they
see who Jesus Christ is.
There are just two things I know that
God's people can do in this matter of
revival.
Be dead sure this church in every home
in this community, you can get in, in
every club, in every street corner, in every
jail, in every avenue, in every Sunday school
class, everywhere, faithfully confronts men not with the
popular, weak, helpless, futile Jesus today, but with
the Christ of God who under the grace
and love of God was offered as a
sin offering, and who under the power of
God has been highly exalted and made to
sit upon the throne, where he's going to
stay and rule and reign, thank God, until
every enemy has been disgraced, until all authority
and power and rule has been brought unto
him.
And when everything has been brought under subjection
to him, I'm quoting from Corinthians, then he
was going to bring a subjected world and
turn it back to the Father, that God
may be all in all.
Now, briefly, what are the evidences of revival?
Would we know one if we met it
in the road, or just one?
May I give it to you.
When revival comes, God knows.
I've seen a little taste of it in
my ministry once in a while.
Everywhere I go, I say, Lord, if you
will, do it again.
I've never seen it come in a way
that I could explain it.
The Spirit blows where he wills, and you
cannot tell from whence it comes or where
it goes.
You can't control God, can you?
But I'll tell you one thing.
If you're ever in it, and I hope
you are, I'll tell you how you can
tell it.
Men will have great concern about their personal
relationship to the Christ of God.
And they'll begin to seek after the Lord.
Let's read this 10th verse one more time.
Of the 12th chapter of Zechariah.
God says, I'll pour upon the house of
David and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem the
spirit of grace and supplication.
And they shall look upon me whom they
have pierced, and they shall mourn for him.
Mourn for him.
They shall seek after him.
As one mourneth for his only son, and
shall be in bitterness for him, in agony
for Christ, as one that is in bitterness
for his firstborn.
Verse 12.
And the land shall mourn every family apart,
and their wives apart.
People ask me if I believe in a
public mourner's bench.
I don't know whether you Yankees ever saw
one or not.
Down south, many of the churches have a
real bench.
People come there and call it a mourner's
bench.
Well, you stiff folks could use a little
of that.
I do not believe in a public mourner's
bench, although I'm not going to holler about
it.
I don't care how you get to the
Lord.
Is that all right?
Just so you get to him.
I'll tell you right now, but you ain't
never going to know him until you begin
to seek him apart.
If revival came to Grace Baptist Church, the
families of this church would have great seasons
of mourning and seeking in their home, searching
for God.
Your little old church membership and the fact
that you don't chaw tobacco or get drunk,
it wouldn't make a dime worth of difference.
You'd want to get acquainted and have a
personal relationship with the living God.
That'd be revival.
A revival would come when this generation of
church members that are going to go to
hell defending their profession and their confession and
can tell you when they're saved but don't
know Christ, when they got terribly concerned about
their own relationship to a living God.
I don't believe in a public mourner's bench
because it can be abused.
I'm afraid people would trust the bench, but
the Bible dead sure teaches a private mourner's
bench.
And everybody that ever gets saved dead sure
knows what I'm talking about now.
Just talk about seeking apart, mourning apart.
Why isn't that room there and there?
Men and women naked before God, mourning after
Christ.
That'd be revival.
Paul had a private mourner's bench.
That's what he's talking about in Romans 7.
Daniel had a private mourner's bench.
David had a private mourner's bench.
Everybody ever knows God's got a private mourner's
bench.
A Christian spends his life at a private
mourner's bench.
I wish you'd turn, if you can find
it, right quick to Jeremiah 31, verse 18.
Here's what's going to happen among us nice
little refined church people if revival ever comes.
In 18th verse of Jeremiah 31, this be
a description of us.
I've surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself thus.
Oh, Ephraim moaning.
He said, Thou hast chastised me, and I
was chastised as a bullock unaccustomed to the
yoke.
Turn thou me, and I shall return.
For thou art the Lord my God, the
moaning himself.
I know I'm talking strange.
We don't know about what I'm talking about
tonight.
We're members of this cocky generation that made
a little profession one time, and we've been
going around talking about we're born again Christians
or there's some other kind.
We're all right.
We're nice people.
But if revival came, God bless your heart,
there'd be moaning and mourning apart.
Men would seek God apart.
You ever seen much of that?
Am I?
May I say one more word?
If anything like this ever happens here in
Carlisle, for God's sake, don't try to stop
it.
Don't try to stop it.
You will, you know, if you listen to
the way to do personal work and the
way to witness today.
Boy, I've fought many a battle on this
camp field.
I've seen people go to insane asylum over
this.
I've seen people in my meetings go crazy
over what I'm talking about.
How'd it happen?
They'd come here and they'd preach.
The Holy Spirit would take the word and
tear up all the little places of refuge
and just tear them all to pieces.
And the next day, some preacher of personal
work would go to them.
Why, you're all right.
Why, you teach your son's school class.
And they'd give them a little piece, but
they'd make a mistake and come back in
to preach that night and the Holy Spirit
would take the knife and cut their heart
open again.
And the next day, somebody would go along
and give them comfort.
Listen to Brother Barney.
In God's name, if in answer to prayer,
if that's how it comes, God ever pours
out His Spirit on you, and men are
confronted with the sure enough crucified, now exalted
Lord, and they begin to mourn for Him
and seek Him apart.
They want to know whether they have a
vital relationship to Him or not.
For God's sake, pay a little attention to
this old preacher when I tell you in
God's name, don't try to pour water on
their mourning.
Don't try to comfort mourning sinners.
Should we go after sinners?
If there's a Sunday school teacher here and
you're not inspiring and training your class to
go after souls, you ain't worth the powder
and lead to kill you.
You ought to resign.
Let them get somebody who knows God.
I'm talking straight to you.
This world is going to hell, while there's
nice people playing mumbo-jumbo.
You better listen to me.
We ought to go after people.
But what all we do is catch up
with them.
I hope this church rings every doorbell in
this city about once a month.
But you ought to if you're going to
count.
After souls.
What are you going to do when you
get there?
Try to get them to accept somebody?
Try to get them to make a profession?
Suppose tonight your telephone rings and somebody phones
and says, Oh, I'm in trouble.
I tell you, I'm just miserable.
I feel like I'm going to drop in
hell, poor son of.
Won't you come over and help me?
Would you go?
Surely you would, wouldn't you?
What would you do after you got there?
If you knew the Bible, you'd do one
thing.
You'd do exactly what Peter did when God
sent him down in answer to the prayer
of a man by the name of Cornelius.
You've got to listen to Brother Barnard now.
Let's turn to the 10th chapter of the
book of Acts and read it again.
You're familiar with the story of how a
man by the name of Cornelius, he is
a devout man.
He prayed and he gave alms and God
gave him a vision.
And then God went over and worked on
a fellow by the name of Peter and
I killed him to get him where he,
he'd go down and preach to this Gentile.
And when Peter finally got down there to
old Cornelius, he was worshiping God and he
was praying and he was seeking and he
wanted help.
Why, Peter stuck John Thrickstein to the stage
and said, Don't you believe that verse of
Scripture?
Yeah.
Well, he was sick.
And Peter went up to him and said,
I understand you want me to come down
and help you.
I've been praying for somebody to come.
Well, here's my hand.
Won't you accept Jesus Christ as your personal
Savior?
No, he didn't say that.
What did he do?
Well, let's read what he did.
Bless the Lord.
He just preached to him.
Verse 34, Then Peter opened his mouth and
said, Of a truth I perceive that God
is no respect of persons, but in every
nation he that feareth him and worketh righteousness
is accepted with him.
The word which God sent unto the children
of Israel to preach in peace by Jesus
Christ, he is the Lord of all.
That word I say you know, which was
published throughout all Judea and began from Galilee
after the baptism with John, preached how God
anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost
and with power, who went about doing good
and healing all that were oppressed of the
devil for God was with him.
And we are witness of all these things
which he did both in the land of
the Jews and Jerusalem, whom they slew and
hanged on a tree.
Him God raised up the third day and
showed him openly, not to all people, but
unto witnesses chosen before of God, and so
forth.
And he commanded us, verse 42, to preach
unto the people and to testify that it
is he which was ordained of God to
be judge.
J-U-D-G-E, judge!
He's going to do something with everybody, save
them or damn them, of the quick and
dead.
To him give all the proper witness that
through his name whosoever believeth in him shall
receive remission of sins.
While Peter yet speaks these words, you read
these words just the gospel all about Jesus
Christ, who is it?
While Peter yet speaks these words, the Holy
Ghost fell on all them.
That H-E-A-R-D heard the
word.
If somebody called for you and wanted to
help out, what'd you do?
Try to get them to do something?
Peter didn't.
He confronted him with the Lord Jesus Christ.
Amen.
And the Holy Spirit added his testimony.
That's right.
What I'm trying to say is let the
Holy Ghost comfort people.
Amen?
Amen.
Ah, my.
What did Peter do?
He showed them Jesus Christ.
Is that what you do?
My church is presently coming, I hope accepted.
With the absence of most of your members,
I ain't so sure, have been talked into
accepting something.
My soul, they need to be listened to
the word when the Holy Ghost falls on
them.
That's how people get saved.
What'd Peter do?
He didn't go around trying to get somebody
to accept something.
There's a troubled soul.
He didn't go say, now you're all right.
He didn't go try to talk them into
anything.
He went and did what honors God, bless
God, and what everybody that's a member of
anybody's church, you're either living in disgrace or
you're doing it.
You're a preacher of the gospel of Jesus
Christ.
You sell clothes, listen to the pay expenses,
but if you're saved, your mission is to
preach the gospel.
If the day ever comes when we quit
limiting the preaching of the gospel behind one
of these things, and have some churches full
of saved people called of God, to go
to the Cornelius's, bless God, and do what?
Just proclaim Christ.
Let him comfort you.
I was down in Greenville, Mississippi, Greenville, South
Carolina some years ago, and was on the
radio 30 minutes a day, and God began
to pour out his Spirit on the broadcast.
In that city is a great Bible college.
Before we knew it, many hundreds of the
students were listening.
Then they began to crowd out the auditorium.
After a few nights, they began to crowd
the aisles running to the prayer room, young
preachers.
People stood under the missionaries screaming, I'm lost,
I'm lost, I'm mourning, I'm groaning.
Couldn't help but comfort them.
It just began to spread, and the telephone
began to ring, and began to drive in
from 250 miles around.
So we had preachers all over that town
spending all that time in the daytime, not
even in the meeting, trying to deal with
distressed souls.
There I stood, and everybody wanted to help
me.
I said, I'm scared, too.
Leave them alone.
You saw somebody with a tear, you'd get
him converted right away, wouldn't you?
He'd stay converted about a week.
Let them mourn.
Brother, if we ever have revival, there'd be
mourning apart.
The families.
Old man Allspaugh would be in that room,
and the wife would be over there, seeking
the Lord.
Let the Holy Ghost wipe their weeping eyes.
Amen?
And I remember Saturday night at midnight, I'd
just got asleep, and the telephone woke me
up, and a young preacher out at the
school said, Brother Barney, we're bringing a girl
up to your hotel room.
Said, she's in hell.
Said, she's just suffering like I never saw
anybody suffer in my life.
And he said, you just got to help
her.
I said, don't bring her up here.
I've got to preach five times tomorrow night.
But he said tomorrow night, I've got to
get some sleep.
I did, too.
Well, he said, Brother Barney, she's just suffering
out here now.
I said, well, let her suffer.
One more night in hell might do her
good.
You think I'm cruel?
Eh?
No, you're the one that's cruel.
You don't believe God's word.
You think this business of becoming a Christian
is a little matter of flicking your gum
from one jaw to the other.
No, it's becoming vitally joined to the Living
Lord.
No man will ever have peace unless he's
had bitterness.
No man will ever know joy unless he's
experienced mourning.
They shall mourn for him.
And we'll let her stay in hell.
Wasn't that cruel?
But when she got out, she sure was
glad.
And if you ever stay in hell a
while, mourning, how about my vital, personal relationship
to the Living God?
Nobody can do business there but you.
For you.
That's revival.
I said all over America, every community ought
to have a church in it full of
people in the power of the Spirit confronting
everybody they can with a Christ who's an
actual sin offering.
Men actually need a sin offering in their
stead.
They don't need a helper.
They need somebody to pay that sin debt.
And men actually need to bow to the
Lord Jesus Christ now.
