1 00:00:00,420 --> 00:00:01,740 Welcome to from the pulpit. 2 00:00:01,900 --> 00:00:03,420 Each week, we bring you a different message 3 00:00:03,420 --> 00:00:05,240 from some of history's greatest speakers in the 4 00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:08,000 Christian faith and powerful summons from modern preachers 5 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:09,220 to this week. 6 00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:11,500 We have Bobby Johnson with his message. 7 00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:14,440 Repentance is the command of God. 8 00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:18,300 If this happened to be the last sermon 9 00:00:18,300 --> 00:00:22,840 that I ever preached, this would be the 10 00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:25,500 sermon that I would want to preach. 11 00:00:27,020 --> 00:00:32,040 Acts, Acts, chapter 17, verse 22, Acts, chapter 12 00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:33,980 17, verse 22. 13 00:00:39,160 --> 00:00:42,400 Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars 14 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,380 Hill and said, You men of Athens, I 15 00:00:45,380 --> 00:00:48,660 perceive that in all things you are too 16 00:00:48,660 --> 00:00:50,320 superstitious, superstitious. 17 00:00:51,140 --> 00:00:54,140 For as I pass by and beheld your 18 00:00:54,140 --> 00:00:58,560 devotions, I found an altar with this inscription 19 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,960 to the unknown God. 20 00:01:01,660 --> 00:01:04,099 That's who America is serving today. 21 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:11,040 Whom, therefore, you ignorantly worship him, declare I 22 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,740 unto you, God, that made the world and 23 00:01:14,740 --> 00:01:18,720 all things therein, seeing that he is Lord 24 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:22,340 of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples 25 00:01:22,340 --> 00:01:23,840 made with hands. 26 00:01:24,500 --> 00:01:28,260 Neither is worshiped with men's hands as though 27 00:01:28,260 --> 00:01:32,200 he needed anything, seeing he giveth to all 28 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:36,160 life and breath and all things, and hath 29 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,140 made of one blood all nations of men 30 00:01:39,140 --> 00:01:41,260 for to dwell on all the face of 31 00:01:41,260 --> 00:01:44,680 the earth, and hath determined the times before 32 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,840 appointed and the bounds of their habitation. 33 00:01:49,700 --> 00:01:52,520 That they should seek the Lord, if happily 34 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:56,840 they might feel after him and find him, 35 00:01:57,060 --> 00:01:59,360 though he be not far from every one 36 00:01:59,360 --> 00:01:59,820 of us. 37 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:01,800 God's right here right now. 38 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,480 For in him we live and move and 39 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:09,020 have our being, as certain also of your 40 00:02:09,020 --> 00:02:12,540 own poets have said, for we are also 41 00:02:12,540 --> 00:02:13,700 his offspring. 42 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,980 For as much then as we are the 43 00:02:16,980 --> 00:02:19,820 offspring of God, we ought not to think 44 00:02:19,820 --> 00:02:22,480 that the Godhead is like under gold or 45 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:27,080 silver or stone, graven by art and man's 46 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:27,780 device. 47 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,920 And the times of this ignorance, God winked 48 00:02:31,920 --> 00:02:36,380 at, but now commandeth all men everywhere to 49 00:02:36,380 --> 00:02:40,300 repent because he hath appointed a day into 50 00:02:40,300 --> 00:02:42,780 which he will judge the world in righteousness 51 00:02:42,780 --> 00:02:46,880 by that man whom he hath ordained, whereof 52 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,980 he hath given assurance unto all men in 53 00:02:49,980 --> 00:02:53,160 that he hath raised him from the dead. 54 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:55,640 We're going to preach for a while. 55 00:02:55,820 --> 00:02:59,000 Repentance is the command of God. 56 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,560 And we're going to cry grace to those 57 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:07,940 sins that stand in our path, like the 58 00:03:07,940 --> 00:03:09,340 rushing of a mighty wind. 59 00:03:09,730 --> 00:03:16,440 Like the rushing of a mighty wind. 60 00:03:17,140 --> 00:03:25,200 Like the rushing of a mighty wind. 61 00:03:25,860 --> 00:03:31,760 Come and fill our hearts again. 62 00:03:32,640 --> 00:03:38,640 Lord, like the rushing of a mighty wind. 63 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:32,020 Yes, yes. 64 00:04:32,700 --> 00:05:15,820 You may 65 00:05:15,820 --> 00:05:16,540 go to your seat. 66 00:05:17,660 --> 00:05:22,460 From the earliest existence of humankind, there has 67 00:05:22,460 --> 00:05:26,020 been an inexcusable tendency toward wickedness. 68 00:05:27,100 --> 00:05:33,120 Uncleanness, debauchery, immorality have seemingly been the order 69 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:33,800 of the day. 70 00:05:34,540 --> 00:05:39,460 Jealousy, hatred, and bloodshed have and were in 71 00:05:39,460 --> 00:05:43,080 operation in the very first family, and these 72 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:47,000 characteristics have continued throughout every generation to the 73 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:48,500 present day in which we are living. 74 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,960 We are all aware that we are now 75 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,140 living in a very, very troubled world. 76 00:05:54,200 --> 00:06:02,020 Turmoil, stress, anger, immorality, perversion, anxiety, distrust, malice, 77 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,920 and hatred cover the entire world. 78 00:06:05,820 --> 00:06:09,600 Fears in the national and international area and 79 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,140 arena are no secret. 80 00:06:11,940 --> 00:06:15,340 In fact, nations are public in their acknowledgment 81 00:06:15,340 --> 00:06:17,860 of fear and hatred of each other. 82 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,160 Iran hates Israel. 83 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,620 Iran hates Iraq. 84 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:24,420 Iran hates the United States. 85 00:06:24,860 --> 00:06:26,340 Iran hates the rest of the world. 86 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:33,160 Israel cannot stand Iran because Iran says we're 87 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:34,980 going to wipe you off of the face 88 00:06:34,980 --> 00:06:35,640 of the earth. 89 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,860 Let me just put a PS right here. 90 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:40,360 I've got news for Iran. 91 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,280 You're barking up the wrong tree, sonny boy. 92 00:06:43,500 --> 00:06:45,560 You're barking up the wrong tree. 93 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,040 For this reason, there is a race on 94 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:56,620 in the preparation of implementation of warfare, bombs, 95 00:06:57,100 --> 00:06:58,380 nuclear warheads. 96 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,820 That's why Iran wants a nuclear bomb, and 97 00:07:02,820 --> 00:07:05,220 that's why Israel is saying no. 98 00:07:05,820 --> 00:07:09,620 And the United States leadership is lying out 99 00:07:09,620 --> 00:07:13,380 our teeth when we're telling, and the president 100 00:07:13,380 --> 00:07:14,700 is telling what he's saying. 101 00:07:14,940 --> 00:07:16,100 Folks, he's lying. 102 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,180 He's just flat-lying. 103 00:07:20,380 --> 00:07:23,180 That's why ISIS is the enemy of the 104 00:07:23,180 --> 00:07:26,200 world, and especially the United States. 105 00:07:26,860 --> 00:07:29,120 ISIS is demon-possessed. 106 00:07:30,940 --> 00:07:34,260 Ability to kill the greatest number of people 107 00:07:34,260 --> 00:07:37,420 in the shortest time seems to be the 108 00:07:37,420 --> 00:07:38,560 ultimate goal. 109 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,940 The horrible oppression of wicked men in high 110 00:07:41,940 --> 00:07:45,440 places have sent millions of people in search 111 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,280 of peace and safety. 112 00:07:47,820 --> 00:07:51,260 You always know it's getting toward the close 113 00:07:51,260 --> 00:07:55,320 of the day when small men cast long 114 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:56,020 shadows. 115 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,920 From these troubled spots of the earth some 116 00:07:59,920 --> 00:08:03,680 enter America by way of the Golden Gate 117 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,240 on the West Coast, others approaching on the 118 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,000 East Seam by the Lady of Peace in 119 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,260 New York Harbor, the Statue of Liberty. 120 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,820 They stream by the millions across the unprotected 121 00:08:16,820 --> 00:08:18,200 border of the South. 122 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,580 They come legally and they come illegally. 123 00:08:22,300 --> 00:08:25,620 They come because of the cartels, and they 124 00:08:25,620 --> 00:08:28,400 come because they want out of their situation. 125 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,700 Some are so thrilled with the prospect of 126 00:08:31,700 --> 00:08:35,220 peace that they fall upon their faces in 127 00:08:35,220 --> 00:08:39,760 gratitude for their newfound security under the stars 128 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:40,760 and stripes. 129 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:42,880 But I've got news for them. 130 00:08:42,940 --> 00:08:45,520 There is no security under the stars and 131 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:46,540 stripes anymore. 132 00:08:47,500 --> 00:08:50,880 Little does this troubled, riddled world know of 133 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:54,100 the real peace and absolute security that is 134 00:08:54,100 --> 00:08:56,620 to be found by coming into the port 135 00:08:56,620 --> 00:08:58,380 of entry called repentance. 136 00:08:59,980 --> 00:09:01,820 Repentance will set you free. 137 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:04,060 Repentance will deliver you. 138 00:09:04,580 --> 00:09:06,280 Repentance will give you joy. 139 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,120 Repentance will give you absolute and total freedom. 140 00:09:10,700 --> 00:09:13,040 Repentance of which I speak is the act 141 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:17,140 of turning evil to righteousness, changing one's mind, 142 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,460 his purpose, and his choice. 143 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,820 And there is absolutely no other way into 144 00:09:23,820 --> 00:09:28,640 God's favor and acceptance other than personal peace 145 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,280 and repentance through Jesus Christ. 146 00:09:32,100 --> 00:09:34,640 You can't find it in drugs. 147 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:36,680 You can't find it in alcohol. 148 00:09:37,220 --> 00:09:39,020 You can't find it in perversion. 149 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,040 You can marry a thousand different people and 150 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,340 never find peace until you repent. 151 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,120 And what I say today Joel Osteen wouldn't 152 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:49,660 say. 153 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,320 And what I say today some of these 154 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,120 folks in high places wouldn't say. 155 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:56,840 But I'm telling you the truth. 156 00:09:57,260 --> 00:09:59,180 I'm telling you what this book says. 157 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,020 It's not about finding a good parking place 158 00:10:02,020 --> 00:10:02,460 downtown. 159 00:10:02,940 --> 00:10:05,480 It's not about finding the best hotel in 160 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:05,820 town. 161 00:10:06,100 --> 00:10:08,900 It's not about some favor here or some 162 00:10:08,900 --> 00:10:09,600 favor there. 163 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,780 If you repent, if you come to Jesus, 164 00:10:13,020 --> 00:10:15,340 if you fall on your face before God 165 00:10:15,340 --> 00:10:18,280 and say, forgive me of my sin, that 166 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:19,900 is the only way you're gonna make it. 167 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:24,540 That's the only way you're gonna make it. 168 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,380 There are some high, high-position preachers that 169 00:10:28,380 --> 00:10:30,580 need to come out and make a stand 170 00:10:30,580 --> 00:10:32,520 on same-sex marriages. 171 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:35,900 Are you for it or are you against 172 00:10:35,900 --> 00:10:36,280 it? 173 00:10:37,700 --> 00:10:39,620 And then if they are for it, they 174 00:10:39,620 --> 00:10:40,600 need to repent. 175 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,060 There is no such thing in our day 176 00:10:45,060 --> 00:10:47,020 as an adulterous Christian. 177 00:10:47,540 --> 00:10:50,000 There is no such thing as a lying 178 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:50,640 Christian. 179 00:10:51,100 --> 00:10:53,240 There is no such thing as a stealing 180 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:53,940 Christian. 181 00:10:54,300 --> 00:10:56,500 There is no such thing as a homosexual 182 00:10:56,500 --> 00:10:57,900 or lesbian Christian. 183 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:00,420 There is no such thing as a drinking 184 00:11:00,420 --> 00:11:01,020 Christian. 185 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,260 There is no such thing as a part 186 00:11:03,260 --> 00:11:04,020 -time Christian. 187 00:11:04,380 --> 00:11:06,540 There is no such thing as a perverted 188 00:11:06,540 --> 00:11:07,060 Christian. 189 00:11:07,340 --> 00:11:10,180 In the very early history of humankind, it 190 00:11:10,180 --> 00:11:13,780 is recorded in Genesis 6 6 and it 191 00:11:13,780 --> 00:11:16,240 repented the Lord that he had made man 192 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,820 on the earth, and it grieved him at 193 00:11:18,820 --> 00:11:19,440 his heart. 194 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,620 The only way now for man to undo 195 00:11:22,620 --> 00:11:25,760 his wrong is to show God a penitent 196 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,620 heart and say, Lord, forgive me of my 197 00:11:28,620 --> 00:11:29,140 sin. 198 00:11:29,340 --> 00:11:31,520 I'm sorry for what I have done. 199 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,920 This is the reason that God tells everybody 200 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:36,140 to repent. 201 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:42,200 I know this message is a message that 202 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,680 is not the popular thing to preach, but 203 00:11:45,680 --> 00:11:47,520 it is the message that will get you 204 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:48,140 to heaven. 205 00:11:48,340 --> 00:11:51,360 You cannot get to heaven unless you repent. 206 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:53,760 Period. 207 00:11:54,660 --> 00:11:55,100 Period. 208 00:11:56,300 --> 00:11:57,900 Forgive me of my sin. 209 00:11:58,540 --> 00:12:00,520 Let's look for a little while at the 210 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:01,360 world leaders. 211 00:12:01,780 --> 00:12:04,220 The world leaders of today should follow the 212 00:12:04,220 --> 00:12:07,540 example of the King of Nineveh, who upon 213 00:12:07,540 --> 00:12:11,340 finding his dominion in immediate danger of judgment, 214 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,700 arose from his throne, laid aside his robe, 215 00:12:15,980 --> 00:12:20,920 which signified his majestic position, superiority, and leadership, 216 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,600 and he donned a coat of sackcloth and 217 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,740 led his people in a march to the 218 00:12:26,740 --> 00:12:28,120 ashes of humility. 219 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,640 His proclamation left no doubt in the minds 220 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,780 of all of his people as to his 221 00:12:33,780 --> 00:12:36,540 desire as how what he said, listen, let 222 00:12:36,540 --> 00:12:41,320 neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste 223 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:42,100 anything. 224 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,240 Let them not feed nor drink water. 225 00:12:45,560 --> 00:12:47,900 He said, don't let the people, but don't 226 00:12:47,900 --> 00:12:50,500 even let the herds and don't even let 227 00:12:50,500 --> 00:12:54,280 the flocks eat anything or drink any water, 228 00:12:54,460 --> 00:12:58,720 but let every man and beast be covered 229 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:02,140 with sackcloth and cry mightily unto God, yea, 230 00:13:02,460 --> 00:13:04,900 let them turn every one from his evil 231 00:13:04,900 --> 00:13:07,320 way and from the violence that is in 232 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:07,980 their hand. 233 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,140 Who can tell if God will turn and 234 00:13:11,140 --> 00:13:14,180 repent and turn away his fierce anger that 235 00:13:14,180 --> 00:13:15,680 we perish not? 236 00:13:16,100 --> 00:13:18,680 Nineveh's danger as it was made known to 237 00:13:18,680 --> 00:13:21,800 them by the great prophet Jonah was that 238 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:25,040 forty days it would be overthrown and they 239 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:25,980 should perish. 240 00:13:26,380 --> 00:13:29,700 Sounds like America, sounds like the world of 241 00:13:29,700 --> 00:13:30,180 today. 242 00:13:30,560 --> 00:13:33,580 Oh God, would you let somebody repent and 243 00:13:33,580 --> 00:13:36,120 say forgive me of what I've done and 244 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,980 turn from our wicked ways and call upon 245 00:13:38,980 --> 00:13:39,980 God Almighty. 246 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,040 Call upon God Almighty. 247 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,400 July 26, 2015 will live as a day 248 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:52,880 of infamy, a day of disgrace when five 249 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:56,860 judges of now the infamous Supreme Court can 250 00:13:56,860 --> 00:13:57,740 make a decision. 251 00:13:58,160 --> 00:13:59,860 They're not even elected by anybody. 252 00:14:00,300 --> 00:14:03,200 They're appointed by some liberal president and now 253 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,180 they're making a decision on the rest of 254 00:14:05,180 --> 00:14:06,020 our lives. 255 00:14:06,460 --> 00:14:08,680 God help their souls. 256 00:14:11,220 --> 00:14:13,260 God help their souls. 257 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,000 America and the rest of the world stands 258 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,260 in peril of terrible judgment unless God can 259 00:14:19,260 --> 00:14:22,540 see in our attitude a feeling of obligation 260 00:14:22,540 --> 00:14:24,580 to him and a desire to serve him. 261 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,720 I believe there will be pockets of revival 262 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,560 in America in the last days, but I 263 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:34,380 believe America has taken the train too far 264 00:14:34,380 --> 00:14:37,160 down the track to turn it around now. 265 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,640 Because the majority of the people do not 266 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,540 want to turn it around. 267 00:14:44,980 --> 00:14:48,520 Folks, we are, I'm praying somebody listen. 268 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,200 Will somebody sound an alarm? 269 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,620 I'm not trying to be an alarmist, I'm 270 00:14:53,620 --> 00:14:55,580 just telling you what it is. 271 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:57,680 I'm too far down the track to tell 272 00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:58,780 you any lies. 273 00:14:59,780 --> 00:15:01,880 I'm too far down the track to tell 274 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:03,120 you something that's wrong. 275 00:15:03,500 --> 00:15:04,780 I'm trying to tell it. 276 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:06,280 Will somebody listen? 277 00:15:06,580 --> 00:15:08,000 It's like the Titanic. 278 00:15:08,380 --> 00:15:09,800 No one would listen. 279 00:15:10,180 --> 00:15:10,880 No one. 280 00:15:10,940 --> 00:15:13,260 They were playing their cards, they were dancing, 281 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,540 they were having a gala affair, they were 282 00:15:15,540 --> 00:15:19,360 having a wonderful time until that ship that 283 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:23,260 struck that iceberg did the only thing you 284 00:15:23,260 --> 00:15:25,420 can say about it, it did the only 285 00:15:25,420 --> 00:15:27,140 thing it was not supposed to do. 286 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:28,500 It sank. 287 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:30,220 It sank. 288 00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:31,780 It sank. 289 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:37,760 I preached my heart out for years and 290 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:41,480 years in this church and I'm praying God 291 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:42,380 will somebody listen. 292 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:44,040 I'm preaching. 293 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:46,400 At times I look back and some folks 294 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:47,600 in the choir are sound asleep. 295 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,040 I look back here and some are sound 296 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:50,320 asleep. 297 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,480 I'm saying oh God will somebody listen to 298 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:54,380 what I'm saying. 299 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:56,440 Listen to the Word of God. 300 00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,280 It's like the folks in the Roaring Twenties. 301 00:15:59,420 --> 00:16:01,860 I heard on television they were bringing back 302 00:16:01,860 --> 00:16:05,100 a big affair in the Roaring Twenties where 303 00:16:05,100 --> 00:16:07,660 they're having affair to relate back to that. 304 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:11,120 The Roaring Twenties everybody had a wonderful time. 305 00:16:11,460 --> 00:16:13,820 They were dancing, they were drinking, they were 306 00:16:13,820 --> 00:16:17,940 doing everything that their whole heart desired to 307 00:16:17,940 --> 00:16:20,820 do until suddenly there was a crash. 308 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,000 Suddenly the whole world came apart. 309 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,240 Suddenly everything fell apart around them. 310 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,080 I'm just saying wake up before the day. 311 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,040 Wake up before the time. 312 00:16:33,420 --> 00:16:35,140 We are living in a day when our 313 00:16:35,140 --> 00:16:38,260 financial system is about to, it is free 314 00:16:38,260 --> 00:16:38,760 -falling. 315 00:16:39,060 --> 00:16:41,480 Within the last two months our stock market 316 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:45,580 has fallen almost 2,000 points, 530 points 317 00:16:45,580 --> 00:16:49,000 in one day Friday, 330 points in two 318 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,980 days just a little before then and seems 319 00:16:51,980 --> 00:16:54,600 to be in a free-fall and everybody's 320 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,060 wondering what is going to happen on September 321 00:16:57,060 --> 00:16:59,800 the 13th when they say this thing is 322 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:01,160 just about to crash. 323 00:17:01,580 --> 00:17:04,060 We're looking for, I can tell you judgment 324 00:17:04,060 --> 00:17:05,339 is coming. 325 00:17:07,660 --> 00:17:09,180 Listen to me, hear me. 326 00:17:09,460 --> 00:17:10,480 Judgment is coming. 327 00:17:14,450 --> 00:17:19,250 China is just about to have her yuan 328 00:17:19,250 --> 00:17:23,550 devalued, placed on the market. 329 00:17:24,130 --> 00:17:28,070 When it does, America's dollar from a financial 330 00:17:28,070 --> 00:17:33,850 standpoint, from financial advisors, from financial experts, the 331 00:17:33,850 --> 00:17:37,030 dollar could literally crash to nothing. 332 00:17:38,190 --> 00:17:41,550 Go to the euro, our dollar would be 333 00:17:41,550 --> 00:17:42,370 meaningless. 334 00:17:43,210 --> 00:17:47,130 What you have in your 401k's, your 403b's, 335 00:17:47,190 --> 00:17:49,650 all of the other could be zero. 336 00:17:50,690 --> 00:17:51,330 You hear me? 337 00:17:52,110 --> 00:17:53,870 I'm telling you, I'm telling you like it 338 00:17:53,870 --> 00:17:54,290 is. 339 00:17:54,670 --> 00:17:56,150 Could be zero. 340 00:17:56,410 --> 00:17:57,590 You say you're trying to scare me. 341 00:17:57,630 --> 00:17:58,770 I'm not trying to scare you, I'm just 342 00:17:58,770 --> 00:18:00,190 trying to tell you what could happen. 343 00:18:00,610 --> 00:18:04,290 America could crash within, I am told from 344 00:18:04,290 --> 00:18:07,990 high authorities, America could crash within the next 345 00:18:07,990 --> 00:18:09,070 30 days. 346 00:18:11,110 --> 00:18:13,110 Within the next 30 days. 347 00:18:13,330 --> 00:18:15,110 And we sit here and have a wonderful 348 00:18:15,110 --> 00:18:17,790 time like we're going to live forever and 349 00:18:17,790 --> 00:18:20,930 everything is going to fade off into the 350 00:18:20,930 --> 00:18:23,210 sunset and everybody's going to be wonderful. 351 00:18:23,490 --> 00:18:27,530 It's time for America to repent and say 352 00:18:27,530 --> 00:18:31,330 as that king in Nineveh, perhaps God would 353 00:18:31,330 --> 00:18:34,170 turn his anger from us if we repented. 354 00:18:34,650 --> 00:18:37,170 Jonah said you're going to die, you're going 355 00:18:37,170 --> 00:18:39,490 to be overtaken, you're going to be overthrown 356 00:18:39,490 --> 00:18:41,570 in 40 days unless you repent. 357 00:18:41,930 --> 00:18:44,030 And then Jonah got mad because they did 358 00:18:44,030 --> 00:18:46,250 repent and God smiled upon them. 359 00:18:46,530 --> 00:18:49,330 I still believe God will smile upon those 360 00:18:49,330 --> 00:18:51,830 who will repent and say, God forgive us 361 00:18:51,830 --> 00:18:54,690 of our sins and our iniquities and our 362 00:18:54,690 --> 00:18:57,950 wrongs and let us live for righteousness and 363 00:18:57,950 --> 00:19:01,450 purity and holiness in the Holy Spirit and 364 00:19:01,450 --> 00:19:03,170 by the Word of Almighty God. 365 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,340 We are living on the brink of disaster. 366 00:19:11,740 --> 00:19:13,540 You say, you preach, you know what you're 367 00:19:13,540 --> 00:19:14,160 talking about. 368 00:19:14,540 --> 00:19:16,760 Say on, say what you want to, I'm 369 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:18,460 just telling you like it is. 370 00:19:19,780 --> 00:19:22,620 Out of the evil imaginations of humankind have 371 00:19:22,620 --> 00:19:25,460 come to devices that can easily annihilate. 372 00:19:26,260 --> 00:19:29,620 Whatever it is permitted to strike and reproduce 373 00:19:29,620 --> 00:19:33,340 the scenes of Sodom and Gomorrah where righteousness 374 00:19:33,340 --> 00:19:38,300 and decency had no place, had no place. 375 00:19:38,900 --> 00:19:41,500 If God would not tolerate evil in the 376 00:19:41,500 --> 00:19:45,460 times past, is there any reason to expect 377 00:19:45,460 --> 00:19:47,260 him to be more lenient today? 378 00:19:50,310 --> 00:19:54,050 Repentance saved Nineveh and Sodom and Gomorrah were 379 00:19:54,050 --> 00:19:56,070 annihilated for the lack of penitence. 380 00:19:56,730 --> 00:19:58,690 Somebody here knows that it would be a 381 00:19:58,690 --> 00:20:02,570 wonderful, miraculous thing for every world leader, president, 382 00:20:02,910 --> 00:20:06,230 emperor, prime minister, king or queen, and dictator 383 00:20:06,230 --> 00:20:09,530 to lose sight of their lofty positions long 384 00:20:09,530 --> 00:20:12,130 enough to repent of their sins and turn 385 00:20:12,130 --> 00:20:13,430 to the King of Kings. 386 00:20:13,750 --> 00:20:16,330 There would be leading nations that would cry 387 00:20:16,330 --> 00:20:19,210 out unto God if the president of the 388 00:20:19,210 --> 00:20:22,250 United States, if Mr. Obama would turn to 389 00:20:22,250 --> 00:20:25,310 God instead of Islam, if Mr. Obama would 390 00:20:25,310 --> 00:20:27,750 turn to God instead of the world and 391 00:20:27,750 --> 00:20:30,150 the enemy, and cry out to God and 392 00:20:30,150 --> 00:20:32,570 call upon this nation to repent and return 393 00:20:32,570 --> 00:20:34,410 to God, no telling what would happen in 394 00:20:34,410 --> 00:20:34,870 America. 395 00:20:36,330 --> 00:20:36,770 No telling. 396 00:20:37,110 --> 00:20:39,570 He's more in love with Islam than he 397 00:20:39,570 --> 00:20:40,310 is Christianity. 398 00:20:41,630 --> 00:20:43,210 And God help us. 399 00:20:43,590 --> 00:20:44,490 God help this nation. 400 00:20:44,590 --> 00:20:47,810 We weren't founded on that kind of irresponsibility. 401 00:20:48,170 --> 00:20:50,370 We weren't founded on that kind of leadership 402 00:20:50,370 --> 00:20:53,350 that led America away from God rather than 403 00:20:53,350 --> 00:20:53,950 to God. 404 00:20:54,270 --> 00:20:56,270 This might be my last sermon that I 405 00:20:56,270 --> 00:20:57,990 ever get to preach, but let me tell 406 00:20:57,990 --> 00:21:00,890 you from my heart, America needs to repent. 407 00:21:01,230 --> 00:21:03,090 Our president needs to repent. 408 00:21:03,370 --> 00:21:05,250 The Supreme Court needs to repent. 409 00:21:05,590 --> 00:21:07,150 Our congressmen need to repent. 410 00:21:07,530 --> 00:21:09,150 We're headed on a slippery slope. 411 00:21:09,410 --> 00:21:11,710 We're headed on a downhill slide into hell. 412 00:21:11,950 --> 00:21:15,250 Unless something happens and America must repent, the 413 00:21:15,250 --> 00:21:18,430 church must repent, and families must repent, and 414 00:21:18,430 --> 00:21:19,730 we must cry out to God. 415 00:21:19,950 --> 00:21:22,250 Oh God, save us before it is too 416 00:21:22,250 --> 00:21:22,550 late. 417 00:21:25,190 --> 00:21:27,190 Save us before it is too late. 418 00:21:27,610 --> 00:21:29,610 If you're taking medicine, you can leave. 419 00:21:29,710 --> 00:21:32,250 It's 8 minutes after 11, but I'm going 420 00:21:32,250 --> 00:21:33,390 to tell you something this morning. 421 00:21:35,900 --> 00:21:37,740 We would immediately have a revival. 422 00:21:39,260 --> 00:21:41,840 We could beat our swords and our weapons 423 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:46,320 into plowshares, our spears into pruning hooks. 424 00:21:47,420 --> 00:21:49,940 This world would immediately take care of the 425 00:21:49,940 --> 00:21:51,100 problem with Iran. 426 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,220 We've been lied to like a dog about 427 00:21:55,220 --> 00:21:55,420 that. 428 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:57,620 Let me tell you something, folks. 429 00:21:58,900 --> 00:22:02,940 We're marching down a road toward the slaughterhouse 430 00:22:02,940 --> 00:22:08,540 if the Congress does not repeal that horrible, 431 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:09,820 horrible treaty. 432 00:22:11,420 --> 00:22:11,960 Do you hear me? 433 00:22:12,300 --> 00:22:12,800 Do you hear me? 434 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:13,760 We're marching. 435 00:22:14,580 --> 00:22:17,100 We're marching down the road toward the slaughterhouse. 436 00:22:19,460 --> 00:22:20,900 But nobody's listening. 437 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:26,980 Iraq, Syria, China, Korea, Afghanistan, all the other 438 00:22:26,980 --> 00:22:31,340 conflicts between nations could be solved with repentance, 439 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:32,420 with repentance. 440 00:22:33,300 --> 00:22:35,860 Let's look at the church, the church in 441 00:22:35,860 --> 00:22:37,680 this perilous day would do well to take 442 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,640 inventory and find its shortages so that a 443 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,040 great impact might be made upon the world. 444 00:22:43,380 --> 00:22:45,420 The church is never going to make an 445 00:22:45,420 --> 00:22:48,060 impact upon the world acting like the world. 446 00:22:51,630 --> 00:22:54,150 We are never going to make an impact 447 00:22:54,150 --> 00:22:56,750 upon the world singing songs like the world. 448 00:22:57,710 --> 00:22:59,870 We're never going to make an impact upon 449 00:22:59,870 --> 00:23:02,990 the world coming to church and living and 450 00:23:02,990 --> 00:23:05,470 acting and doing just like the world. 451 00:23:05,970 --> 00:23:09,210 The church needs to be stronger today than 452 00:23:09,210 --> 00:23:10,030 ever before. 453 00:23:10,470 --> 00:23:12,330 The church cannot be afraid. 454 00:23:12,830 --> 00:23:14,330 The church cannot retreat. 455 00:23:14,870 --> 00:23:16,770 The church cannot feel inferior. 456 00:23:17,290 --> 00:23:19,930 When the church is her weakest, that's when 457 00:23:19,930 --> 00:23:23,450 she is the strongest, because she realizes that 458 00:23:23,450 --> 00:23:26,170 it is not by might nor by power 459 00:23:26,170 --> 00:23:28,510 but by my Spirit, saith the Lord of 460 00:23:28,510 --> 00:23:28,770 hosts. 461 00:23:28,990 --> 00:23:31,890 When the church quits trying to see how 462 00:23:31,890 --> 00:23:34,670 much wine she can drink and still be 463 00:23:34,670 --> 00:23:37,690 saved, when the church quits trying to see 464 00:23:37,690 --> 00:23:40,330 how much she can gamble and still be 465 00:23:40,330 --> 00:23:43,430 saved, when the church quits trying to see 466 00:23:43,430 --> 00:23:46,570 how nude she can be and still be 467 00:23:46,570 --> 00:23:49,170 saved, when the church quits trying to see 468 00:23:49,170 --> 00:23:52,410 how sugary she can be and realize she 469 00:23:52,410 --> 00:23:54,630 is supposed to be the salt, when the 470 00:23:54,630 --> 00:23:57,910 church quits trying to pacify every little worldly 471 00:23:57,910 --> 00:24:01,450 desire of every carnal church member, when the 472 00:24:01,450 --> 00:24:03,610 church quits trying to coddle up to the 473 00:24:03,610 --> 00:24:06,490 devil's crowd, when the church quits trying to 474 00:24:06,490 --> 00:24:09,510 play both sides against the middle and realize 475 00:24:09,510 --> 00:24:12,010 that it's either one side or the other, 476 00:24:12,370 --> 00:24:14,750 when the church quits trying to reduce her 477 00:24:14,750 --> 00:24:19,050 operation from amazement to amusement and make God's 478 00:24:19,050 --> 00:24:22,070 house a place of social benefits and worldly 479 00:24:22,070 --> 00:24:25,970 attire and worldly disrespect, when the church quits 480 00:24:25,970 --> 00:24:29,730 trying to fraternize with Baal's crowd and realize 481 00:24:29,730 --> 00:24:32,270 she must be set apart, when the church 482 00:24:32,270 --> 00:24:35,210 finally realizes that the Supreme Court and or 483 00:24:35,210 --> 00:24:38,770 the President established a church that is built 484 00:24:38,770 --> 00:24:41,350 on the Rock of Ages, only then will 485 00:24:41,350 --> 00:24:43,890 she realize that she can be an impact 486 00:24:43,890 --> 00:24:47,530 in our society and change this world by 487 00:24:47,530 --> 00:24:50,310 the power of the Lord Jesus Christ. 488 00:24:52,370 --> 00:24:58,690 My, my, we need to be impressed with 489 00:24:58,690 --> 00:25:00,870 the fact that the burning bush of divine 490 00:25:00,870 --> 00:25:04,990 calling must be made to blaze again, so 491 00:25:04,990 --> 00:25:07,210 that the wonder at the backside of the 492 00:25:07,210 --> 00:25:09,930 desert can be called and sent forth on 493 00:25:09,930 --> 00:25:11,770 his or her way to the promised land. 494 00:25:12,010 --> 00:25:14,770 The bush is still burning and the fire 495 00:25:14,770 --> 00:25:15,710 is still there. 496 00:25:15,990 --> 00:25:17,630 All I have to do is get close 497 00:25:17,630 --> 00:25:17,970 to it. 498 00:25:18,250 --> 00:25:19,450 All I have to do is let it 499 00:25:19,450 --> 00:25:22,730 consume me and let me be blazed with 500 00:25:22,730 --> 00:25:24,130 the power of Pentecost. 501 00:25:24,470 --> 00:25:26,950 Oh God, let the world know that repentance 502 00:25:26,950 --> 00:25:28,830 is our only way for an answer. 503 00:25:29,990 --> 00:25:34,570 In a situation we find ourselves, this is 504 00:25:34,570 --> 00:25:37,050 the time for the church to shine as 505 00:25:37,050 --> 00:25:37,730 never before. 506 00:25:37,890 --> 00:25:40,370 This is not, not, I said this is 507 00:25:40,370 --> 00:25:43,070 not, capitalize it, not, underline it, bull print 508 00:25:43,070 --> 00:25:45,230 it, not the time for the church to 509 00:25:45,230 --> 00:25:45,650 hide. 510 00:25:48,050 --> 00:25:49,510 We've hid long enough. 511 00:25:51,070 --> 00:25:52,670 We sat there long enough and let the 512 00:25:52,670 --> 00:25:53,670 world just take over. 513 00:25:54,470 --> 00:25:57,990 We sat here long enough and said, just 514 00:25:57,990 --> 00:25:59,410 do what you want to do. 515 00:26:00,670 --> 00:26:03,790 We've been so concerned about little nitpicky things 516 00:26:03,790 --> 00:26:06,350 that don't matter and five years, one year, 517 00:26:06,490 --> 00:26:08,110 one month, one week from now you won't 518 00:26:08,110 --> 00:26:09,370 even be thinking about it. 519 00:26:09,730 --> 00:26:12,230 We better get down to serious business of 520 00:26:12,230 --> 00:26:14,970 right and wrong and repentance and say, God 521 00:26:14,970 --> 00:26:16,750 forgive me of all of the things I've 522 00:26:16,750 --> 00:26:19,810 done and let me, I'm preaching today to 523 00:26:19,810 --> 00:26:20,390 church members. 524 00:26:20,390 --> 00:26:22,030 I'm not talking just to sinners. 525 00:26:22,150 --> 00:26:23,190 I'm talking to all of us. 526 00:26:23,550 --> 00:26:25,090 We need to say, God, look way down 527 00:26:25,090 --> 00:26:27,330 in the recesses of my heart, way back 528 00:26:27,330 --> 00:26:30,150 down in the deepest, deepest part, that secret 529 00:26:30,150 --> 00:26:32,790 corner and that secret passage and let me 530 00:26:32,790 --> 00:26:35,090 weed everything out and let me get everything 531 00:26:35,090 --> 00:26:37,550 out that's unlike you and let me crawl 532 00:26:37,550 --> 00:26:39,690 over and fall on my face and cry 533 00:26:39,690 --> 00:26:40,810 out to God almighty. 534 00:26:40,990 --> 00:26:42,830 This is the time for the church to 535 00:26:42,830 --> 00:26:44,190 be front and center. 536 00:26:44,370 --> 00:26:46,230 This is the time for the church to 537 00:26:46,230 --> 00:26:46,790 shine. 538 00:26:47,090 --> 00:26:48,890 This is the time for the church to 539 00:26:48,890 --> 00:26:49,790 stand tall. 540 00:26:50,130 --> 00:26:51,930 This is the time for the church to 541 00:26:51,930 --> 00:26:53,850 do what she always has done. 542 00:26:54,050 --> 00:26:56,730 It's time for the church to sing as 543 00:26:56,730 --> 00:26:58,250 she's never sung before. 544 00:26:58,750 --> 00:26:59,850 Amazing grace. 545 00:27:00,130 --> 00:27:02,470 How sweet the sound that saved a wretch 546 00:27:02,470 --> 00:27:02,970 like me. 547 00:27:03,230 --> 00:27:05,390 It's time for the church to sing as 548 00:27:05,390 --> 00:27:06,490 we did this morning. 549 00:27:06,870 --> 00:27:09,050 Shades in the twinkling of an eye. 550 00:27:09,330 --> 00:27:10,990 It's time for the church to sing. 551 00:27:11,250 --> 00:27:12,690 I'm on my way to heaven. 552 00:27:13,030 --> 00:27:14,690 I'm bound for the promised land. 553 00:27:14,950 --> 00:27:17,610 I said, it's time for the church to 554 00:27:17,610 --> 00:27:19,830 get on their feet and declare who she 555 00:27:19,830 --> 00:27:20,230 is. 556 00:27:20,510 --> 00:27:22,950 She's heir of God and adjoined heir of 557 00:27:22,950 --> 00:27:23,250 Jesus. 558 00:27:37,820 --> 00:27:40,960 We've had every Tom, Dick and Harry come 559 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:45,180 by and we followed everything they've said because 560 00:27:45,180 --> 00:27:47,300 they might have had a little money or 561 00:27:47,300 --> 00:27:50,260 they might have had a little prestige or 562 00:27:50,260 --> 00:27:51,620 they might have had a little this or 563 00:27:51,620 --> 00:27:52,220 a little that. 564 00:27:53,420 --> 00:27:55,620 I'm just telling you what the Word says. 565 00:27:56,860 --> 00:28:00,200 But now commandeth all men everywhere to repent. 566 00:28:02,180 --> 00:28:02,740 Repent. 567 00:28:03,580 --> 00:28:04,720 I cry out to God. 568 00:28:05,020

heart. 577 00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:27,340 I can tell you, church, you may be 578 00:28:27,340 --> 00:28:29,560 going through the dark hours and we may 579 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:32,200 be persecuted and we may be laughed at 580 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,420 and scorned and mocked. 581 00:28:34,540 --> 00:28:36,240 But that's when you sing anyhow. 582 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,080 Paul and Silas

585 00:28:45,300 --> 00:28:46,460 stocks and bonds. 586 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,560 But Paul said, Silas, I may be crazy 587 00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:51,720 and you may think I've lost my mind, 588 00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:53,720 but I've got a song down in my 589 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:55,620 heart in this midnight hour. 590 00:28:55,980 --> 00:28:58,820 Bless the Lord, oh my soul, and all 591

609 00:29:47,790 --> 00:29:50,590 But when you repent, you can have a 610 00:29:50,590 --> 00:29:51,730 song in the midnight hour. 611 00:29:54,190 --> 00:29:58,130 When you repent, you feel the love of 612 00:29:58,130 --> 00:30:00,450 God that flows like a river and the 613 00:30:00,450 --> 00:30:02,310 peace of God that bubbles like a fountain. 614 00:30:03,070 --> 00:30:05,130 Oh God, this is the time for the 615 00:30:05,130 --> 00:30:08,870 church to sing in the face of it 616 00:30:08,870 --> 00:30:09,210 all. 617 00:30:09,890 --> 00:30:12,690 The reason this world's in a mess is 618 00:30:12,690 --> 00:30:16,230 because we got today tele, tele, mega television 619 00:30:16,230 --> 00:30:18,390 evangelists who aren't telling the truth. 620 00:30:20,630 --> 00:30:22,650 You can soft-soap it if you want 621 00:30:22,650 --> 00:30:22,910 to. 622 00:30:23,610 --> 00:30:24,630 Tell the truth. 623 00:30:25,470 --> 00:30:26,470 Tell the truth. 624 00:30:26,850 --> 00:30:29,030 I beg every preacher that's listening to me, 625 00:30:29,210 --> 00:30:31,030 if there's any preacher that wants to listen, 626 00:30:31,130 --> 00:30:32,390 I beg you to tell the truth. 627 00:30:32,650 --> 00:30:34,410 I beg you to stand in your pulpit 628 00:30:34,410 --> 00:30:37,010 and tell them, you must repent. 629 00:30:37,310 --> 00:30:39,290 There's only one way to heaven, and that's 630 00:30:39,290 --> 00:30:40,670 through the power of the blood of Jesus 631 00:30:40,670 --> 00:30:41,050 Christ. 632 00:30:41,250 --> 00:30:42,010 You must repent. 633 00:30:42,230 --> 00:30:42,970 You must repent. 634 00:30:43,210 --> 00:30:43,910 You must repent. 635 00:30:44,450 --> 00:30:45,270 There's only one way. 636 00:30:46,910 --> 00:30:48,210 There's only one way. 637 00:30:48,730 --> 00:30:49,830 There's only one way. 638 00:30:51,070 --> 00:30:53,810 I want to fall on my face and 639 00:30:53,810 --> 00:30:57,630 say, Lord, everything that's within me that's wrong, 640 00:30:57,830 --> 00:31:02,810 clean it out, cleanse me, purify me, wash 641 00:31:02,810 --> 00:31:04,370 me whiter than the driven snow. 642 00:31:06,390 --> 00:31:08,470 There comes a time when God laughed at 643 00:31:08,470 --> 00:31:10,350 it, but now he says, you need to 644 00:31:10,350 --> 00:31:10,730 repent. 645 00:31:11,650 --> 00:31:13,330 It's not fun and games anymore. 646 00:31:14,130 --> 00:31:15,470 No, no. 647 00:31:15,750 --> 00:31:17,070 It's serious business. 648 00:31:17,630 --> 00:31:19,330 We're down to the wire. 649 00:31:19,830 --> 00:31:21,570 We're down to the end. 650 00:31:22,210 --> 00:31:23,770 This nation is crumbling. 651 00:31:24,770 --> 00:31:25,890 This nation is crumbling. 652 00:31:26,010 --> 00:31:28,930 I told you the financial part of it, 653 00:31:29,650 --> 00:31:32,110 and yet I just hit the highlights. 654 00:31:33,330 --> 00:31:35,750 I'm telling you, if you knew the inside, 655 00:31:36,330 --> 00:31:38,510 and I just know the highlights, but if 656 00:31:38,510 --> 00:31:41,630 we really knew the inside, there would not 657 00:31:41,630 --> 00:31:43,570 a one of us in this room that 658 00:31:43,570 --> 00:31:45,150 right now would not stand to our feet 659 00:31:45,150 --> 00:31:46,010 and run to this altar. 660 00:31:49,290 --> 00:31:51,190 Run to this altar and say, God help 661 00:31:51,190 --> 00:31:51,470 us. 662 00:31:52,190 --> 00:31:53,210 God help us. 663 00:31:53,310 --> 00:31:53,870 God help us. 664 00:31:53,950 --> 00:31:54,630 God help us. 665 00:31:56,050 --> 00:32:01,010 China owns us right now, and when they 666 00:32:01,010 --> 00:32:03,550 come into this mix within the next month, 667 00:32:03,850 --> 00:32:05,690 they have already been approved to do so, 668 00:32:06,870 --> 00:32:09,070 only God knows what will happen. 669 00:32:10,210 --> 00:32:13,090 Only God knows what will happen, but it's 670 00:32:13,090 --> 00:32:16,070 time in the face of it all for 671 00:32:16,070 --> 00:32:19,950 the church to sing it out, sing as 672 00:32:19,950 --> 00:32:21,290 she's never sung before. 673 00:32:22,130 --> 00:32:24,170 There is a fountain filled with blood drawn 674 00:32:24,170 --> 00:32:27,450 from Emmanuel's veins, and sinners plunge beneath the 675 00:32:27,450 --> 00:32:32,110 flood, lose all their guilty stains, lose all 676 00:32:32,110 --> 00:32:33,710 their guilty stains. 677 00:32:34,370 --> 00:32:37,070 At the cross, at the cross, where I 678 00:32:37,070 --> 00:32:38,650 first saw the light and the burden of 679 00:32:38,650 --> 00:32:40,490 my heart rolled away, it was there by 680 00:32:40,490 --> 00:32:40,870 faith. 681 00:32:41,190 --> 00:32:44,270 I received my sight, and now I'm happy 682 00:32:44,270 --> 00:32:45,170 all the day. 683 00:32:45,730 --> 00:32:47,830 It's time for the church to cry out 684 00:32:47,830 --> 00:32:51,230 to God, Lord, forgive us of our inactivity, 685 00:32:51,690 --> 00:32:55,070 forgive us of our apathy, forgive us of 686 00:32:55,070 --> 00:32:57,110 the things that we have just laid back 687 00:32:57,110 --> 00:32:58,910 and let ride on. 688 00:32:59,890 --> 00:33:03,450 I credit the church for not standing up. 689 00:33:03,690 --> 00:33:06,370 We should have stood up in the face 690 00:33:06,370 --> 00:33:08,610 of the enemy, in the face of the 691 00:33:09,370 --> 00:33:12,030 politicians, and told them, we will not put 692 00:33:12,030 --> 00:33:14,510 you in office if you let them take 693 00:33:14,510 --> 00:33:15,730 prayer out of the school. 694 00:33:16,010 --> 00:33:17,910 We will not stand and let you go 695 00:33:17,910 --> 00:33:20,270 in office if you take Bible reading out 696 00:33:20,270 --> 00:33:20,870 of the school. 697 00:33:21,290 --> 00:33:22,510 We will not put you in office. 698 00:33:22,570 --> 00:33:24,970 We could list a long line and say, 699 00:33:25,070 --> 00:33:25,890 do you agree with these? 700 00:33:25,970 --> 00:33:27,350 If you don't, we're not voting for you. 701 00:33:27,670 --> 00:33:29,930 And it's time, you know, you say you're 702 00:33:29,930 --> 00:33:31,510 going to lose your tax status for this 703 00:33:31,510 --> 00:33:32,310 or that or the other. 704 00:33:32,510 --> 00:33:34,130 I'm talking about moral issues. 705 00:33:34,250 --> 00:33:35,990 I'm talking about issues from the Word of 706 00:33:35,990 --> 00:33:36,350 God. 707 00:33:36,590 --> 00:33:38,270 I'm not talking about whether you're, as I 708 00:33:38,270 --> 00:33:40,550 said Wednesday night, whether you're a Democrat, Republican, 709 00:33:40,990 --> 00:33:42,070 Independent, or Ignorant. 710 00:33:42,150 --> 00:33:43,050 It doesn't make any difference. 711 00:33:43,250 --> 00:33:45,210 I'm just talking about the Word of God, 712 00:33:45,270 --> 00:33:46,690 what it says you need to repent. 713 00:33:46,950 --> 00:33:48,590 You can't lie and get to heaven. 714 00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:53,620 You have to repent. 715 00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:02,060 I'm halfway through, but stand your feet across 716 00:34:02,060 --> 00:34:02,560 this room. 717 00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:04,320 Come back here. 718 00:34:04,780 --> 00:34:06,280 There is a fountain filled with blood. 719 00:34:06,380 --> 00:34:07,760 Draw up Emmanuel Faines. 720 00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:15,840 God's in this room this morning. 721 00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:17,500 God's in this room. 722 00:34:17,620 --> 00:34:23,940 The Holy Spirit is calling men and women, 723 00:34:24,900 --> 00:34:30,159 He said everywhere, but I now commandeth all 724 00:34:30,159 --> 00:34:32,760 men everywhere to repent. 725 00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:35,100 To repent. 726 00:34:36,739 --> 00:34:38,360 This should be an easy altar call. 727 00:34:39,739 --> 00:34:43,380 I don't care whether you've been saved, sanctified, 728 00:34:43,540 --> 00:34:44,940 and filled with the Holy Ghost, and standing 729 00:34:44,940 --> 00:34:46,040 in the way for 50 years. 730 00:34:48,020 --> 00:34:49,900 I don't care whether you've just been saved. 731 00:34:52,020 --> 00:34:56,200 I don't care what position you find yourself. 732 00:34:57,240 --> 00:35:02,000 I call for this entire congregation to repent. 733 00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:08,520 Lord, I'll lead the pack. 734 00:35:09,460 --> 00:35:10,020 I'll lead you. 735 00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,320 Lord, forgive me for anything. 736 00:35:13,460 --> 00:35:15,580 I say it publicly, I say it privately, 737 00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:19,080 Lord, forgive me for anything that's unlike you. 738 00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:23,460 Forgive me for anything that's hidden in the 739 00:35:23,460 --> 00:35:24,560 recesses of my heart. 740 00:35:25,500 --> 00:35:28,060 Folks, the choir is singing. 741 00:35:28,220

00:35:36,680 There is a fountain filled with blood this 746 00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:37,040 morning. 747 00:35:37,140 --> 00:35:38,260 I want you to come one and all. 748 00:35:38,340 --> 00:35:40,740 I know we can't all kneel, but you 749 00:35:40,740 --> 00:35:43,060 can come stand from one side to the 750 00:35:43,060 --> 00:35:45,640 other down these aisles and shut yourself in 751 00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:49,920 with God and say, Lord, I stand in 752 00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:55,780 your presence today, and I ask you, I 753 00:35:55,780 --> 00:35:57,560 repent of anything. 754 00:35:57,940 -->

00:36:09,900 I plunge beneath that flood. 758 00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:13,360 It's a solemn assembly. 759 00:36:13,980 --> 00:36:16,500 It's a solemn time when the priest fell 760 00:36:16,500 --> 00:36:22,180 between the porch and the pillars and began 761 00:36:22,180 --> 00:36:25,660 to cry out to God. 762 00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:28,880 You've been listening to From the Pulpit. 763 00:36:29,380 --> 00:36:31,760 This week you heard Bobby Johnson with his 764 00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,220 message, Repentance is the Command of God. 765 00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:36,500 Tune in next

00:36:41,840 Bobby Johnson. 769 00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:44,120 This sermon on From the Pulpit was preached 770 00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:45,820 Sunday, August 23rd. 771 00:36:45,980 --> 00:36:48,440 The pastor, Bobby Johnson, spoke from his heart. 772 00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:50,160 If this would be my last sermon to 773 00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:51,900 the church, here's what I'd say. 774 00:36:52,220 --> 00:36:54,840 Pastor Johnson passed into eternity only hours later 775 00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:55,800 in his sleep.
