Christ this morning.
Deuteronomy 5th chapter.
Now we love the Word of God here
and you don't come to this church without
your Bible.
You just don't do it.
You look around, you'll see Bibles there because
we love the Word of the Lord.
Deuteronomy 5th chapter.
Let's begin verse 22.
Deuteronomy 5th chapter, verse 22, beginning to read.
These words the Lord spake unto all of
your assembly in the mount, out of the
midst of the fire of the cloud and
of thick darkness, with a great voice, and
he added no more.
And he wrote them in two tables of
stone and delivered them unto you.
And it came to pass when you heard
the voice out of the midst of the
darkness, for the mountain did burn with fire,
that you came near unto me, even all
the heads of your tribes and your elders.
And you said, Behold, the Lord our God
has showed us his glory and his greatness.
We have heard his voice out of the
midst of the fire.
We have seen this day that God doth
talk with man and he liveth.
Now therefore why should we die?
For this great fire will consume us.
If we hear the voice of the Lord
our God any more, then we shall die.
For who is there of all flesh who
hath heard the voice of the Lord living
God speaking out of the midst of the
fire as we have and lived?
Go thou near and hear all that the
Lord our God shall say.
They're speaking to Moses.
And speak thou unto us all that the
Lord our God shall speak unto thee, and
we will hear it and do it.
And the Lord heard the voice of your
words when you spake unto me.
And the Lord said unto me, I've heard
the voice of the words of the people
which they have spoken unto you.
They have well said all that they have
spoken.
Oh, that there was such a heart in
them that they would fear me and keep
all my commandments always, that it might be
well with them and with their children forever.
Heavenly Father, I know you gave me this
from your throne room.
I didn't get it from a book.
I didn't get it out of my own
fleshly thinking.
You breathed this into my heart.
And Lord, you're trying to say something to
all who are gathered here this morning.
And I come not in my flesh, for
the flesh profiteth nothing.
I come in the might and power of
the Holy Spirit who anoints his servants who
walk with him.
And I pray, Lord, that you give us
a hearing ear that we may hear what
the Holy Spirit has to say.
Don't let anyone, Lord, just sit here daydreaming.
God, pierce that daydreaming with the word.
Pierce, oh God, every heart that's hardened itself.
Lord, break down the shields and penetrate with
your living word, we pray.
Give me love as I minister it.
May there be mercy and grace in what
is delivered, I pray.
Sanctify me in this delivery, I pray.
In Jesus' name, amen.
Now, this is one of the strangest scenes
in all of the Bible.
Incredible sight.
Fire comes down and ignites the whole mountain
on Sinai.
It's a consuming fire, consuming everything in sight.
There's lightning, so powerful that it's supernal.
And they know it's not natural.
The thunder is peeling it like the earth
is splitting in two.
And suddenly, out of all of that terror,
and out of all of that loud shaking,
a voice comes.
A voice that is beyond anything man has
ever heard.
It is the voice of God speaking to
the people.
And the people trembled.
In fact, the Bible said, Moses quaked and
feared exceedingly.
This great man of God.
The people thought they were going to die.
They literally were hanging for a few hours,
perhaps.
I don't know how long it was, but
they were hanging like with a thread over
the mouth of hell.
There's no way that I could describe to
you this scene that we could understand it
fully.
This is Mount Sinai.
This is the giving of the law.
But you see, the voice is silenced.
The thunder suddenly subsides and the lightning stops.
And the sun begins to shine.
And they look around and we're still alive,
amazingly.
Nobody died.
And they held a meeting, evidently, because the
elders and the leaders came to Moses.
And those leaders and elders didn't go to
Moses on their own.
They had gathered together and got the consensus
of the people.
The people all gathered together after this great
manifestation of the glory of God, and the
presence of the Father, and the very audible
voice of God.
And they gathered together.
You would think this should be the greatest
praise meeting ever conducted on earth.
You would think that everybody would say, amazing,
that we, of all people, no other people
have ever heard the voice of God out
of fire and survived, and we survived.
God must love us in a special way.
There must be something beyond anything we can
conceive about this holy God.
They should have been so excited what they're
going to tell their children and their grandchildren.
I heard the voice of God.
I was there the day God spoke to
us.
You would have thought that in that meeting
that the elders and the Levitical priesthood would
have been holding little prayer groups and having
little preaching groups where they were admonishing the
people.
Now remember from this day on that we
will live in the fear of God.
He's a holy God and remember this moment.
Is that what happened?
No, no, no, no, not at all.
The elders and the princes came before Moses
and said, we don't want to hear this
voice anymore.
We want to hear it only through man's
voice.
We cannot put up with this.
We cannot handle this voice, this majestic voice
of God anymore.
You see there's a problem with these people
standing before this holy God.
Those who gathered and said we can't handle
this.
And the reason they can't handle it because
a majority of these had just come from
their tents where they had bowed down to
little graven images to the god Moloch and
the star of Remphat.
And according to Stephen they had brought them
from Egypt, had never let them go and
for 40 years they bowed down in their
tents to these idols.
They had just come from their tents where
they had bowed before some little golden mouse,
a little golden calf.
In fact the big golden calf represented those
little golden carved cast gold and silver idols
that they had bowed down and said, you
are my god, you delivered me from Egypt.
And what did God say?
What was that voice that made them quake?
Why did they think they were going to
die?
Because they are now in the presence of
a holy God.
They're now in the presence of not a
little idol that they have carved.
Now their consciences are raking them over.
Now they know that they're in the presence
of God.
Now folks you would have thought that hearing
the actual voice of God and seeing this
great manifestation of the glory and power of
God, they would have ran to their tents.
They would have run to their tents.
They would have dug up those.
They would have opened their saws and pulled
them out and got hammers and crushed them.
You would have thought that they would have
been on their face before God repenting and
said, oh God I have been worshipping an
idol in secret in my tent.
You see it was secret sin.
It was a secret hidden thing in their
life that God was dealing with.
Because God had just spoken, Thou shall have
no graven images.
Thou shall not bow down before Him.
That's what the voice said.
Beloved God was not playing the role of
a divine monster.
He was not trying to terrorize His own
people, not my God of love.
No, no, no.
He was not terrorizing the people, trying to
extract obedience through fear.
That's not what Sinai is all about.
Scripture says, the martyr Solomon called them the
church of the wilderness.
And he said of this church of the
wilderness, before the Sanhedrin, but they would not
obey.
And in their hearts they turned back again
to Egypt.
They stood before Mount Sinai, before Holy God
with their hearts given to Egypt.
Their hearts were not given to God.
In fact Isaiah said their hearts were far
from God.
He said they worship me with their lips.
They've got the right words.
But their hearts are far from me.
Moses said unto the people, Fear not for
God has come to prove you that His
fear may be in you before your faces
that you sin not.
He said this is all about God empowering
you with His mighty awesome fear to give
you weapons against sin.
He's trying to embolden you against sin.
He's not mad at you.
He's trying to give you weapons against the
devil.
That you may live and that it may
be well with you that you may prolong
your days in the land which you shall
possess.
But now the fire is gone.
The lightning and the thunder is all gone.
And they come back to Moses with this
pious religious response.
Moses, we've met together and here's the conclusion.
Here's the consensus of all the people, all
the elders, the princes and all the people.
I'm sure Joshua and Caleb were not among
that number.
They said we have seen how great and
glorious our God is.
We have been privileged to hear His audible
voice.
And we know now that you can hear
His voice and still live.
Well so far so good.
Right words.
Now comes some of the strangest logic in
all the Bible.
Strangest logic you can ever find in the
Scripture.
Makes no sense at all.
Here's what they said.
We know that God speaks to man and
that He lives.
So now therefore why should we die?
For this great fire will consume us.
If we hear the voice of the Lord
our God anymore then we shall die.
For who is there of all flesh that
hath heard the living God speaking out of
the midst of fire as we haven't lived?
You did.
All of you.
You just said we know you can hear
His voice and live.
And they said who among the whole world
can hear His voice and live?
What's going on?
What kind of logic is this?
Let's hear it again.
We know we can hear from God.
We know He speaks out of the fire
and we live.
We've seen it this very day.
Now why should we die?
Because who in all the world has heard
the voice of God out of fire and
lived?
Then we hear God saying to Moses I've
heard the voice of the words of this
people which they've spoken unto thee.
They have well said all that they have
spoken.
You know what God is saying?
They have all the vocabulary right.
They have all the words right.
They know the religious lingo.
You know people like that?
Oh they can talk about Jesus.
They've got all the doctrines right.
I just got a picture, a story of
a rock and roll Christian they were having
a so called Christian concert or something and
these kids they've got pierced tongues and beads
and spiked hair and purple hair and looking
just like demonic groups and they were being
interviewed and he said it kind of scares
the pastor so we throw in a little
sermon to appease them.
We throw a little bit of Jesus and
a little bit of the Holy Ghost at
the people.
All the lingo.
They've got it all right.
Just add a little Jesus to it and
everything's okay.
The Lord said they have all the, what
they said sounded right.
Sounds religious, sounds like they're humble, sounds like
they have the fear of God.
They're talking about obedience.
They're talking all the right language.
They've spoken well.
Isaiah said of them these people draw near
to the Lord with their mouth and with
their lips they honor him but they've removed
their hearts from him and their fear toward
God is taught by the precepts of man.
Do you know folks that these people were
so attached to their idols?
They were so devoted to that secret little
thing in their lives that nothing in heaven
or earth is going to separate them from
their sin.
Not the fire, not the thunder, not the
lightning, not the very voice of a holy
God is going to separate them from because
they're so given to it, so attached to
their sin.
So they tried to strike a deal with
God.
We'll serve you if you'll give us a
softer message.
We want it filtered through man.
You've got to give us a man.
Now folks they already had the meekest man
on earth.
They already were hearing from a man who
was meek and a man who said it
was God and hearing it and they're saying
God we don't want to hear this voice
anymore because if we hear it anymore we're
going to die.
And oh how right they were.
You sit under a holy ghost preaching.
You sit under the anointed word of men
that are sided with God with no agenda
and they have no hidden sin in their
life and they have been to the throne
of God and you hear from heaven.
You better believe you're going to die.
You're going to die to your sins.
You'll die to the flesh.
You'll die to hype.
You'll die to foolish manifestations that are not
born of the heart of God.
You'll die to all of that.
They said we can't sit under that voice
anymore.
There are people that walked out of this
church because they said we can't stand that
doomsday preaching.
I got a letter this week from a
man.
He said I don't know who in the
world put me on your mailing list but
get me off immediately.
He said I cannot handle your doomsday haranguing
against sin.
He said I've had enough of your King
James foolishness.
Does this sound familiar?
Isaiah 30 verse 9.
This is rebellious people lying children.
Children that will not hear the law of
the Lord which say to the seers and
to see not and to the prophets prophesy
not unto us or prophesy to us right.
Do not prophesy to us right things.
Speak to us smooth things.
Prophesy deceits.
Get you out of the way.
And what they're saying, look, I don't want
to hear that.
I don't want to hear any more doomsday.
I don't want to hear anything negative.
I don't want anybody haranguing against sin.
I don't want that.
I want a preacher.
I want somebody to tell me how God's
going to use me.
I want them to tell me how good
it's going to be, how prosperous I'm going
to be and if not get out of
my face.
That's what it says.
Well, you're in the wrong church, Indra.
I'm not going to stand before a holy
God when you and I stand before the
judgment.
Not on my watch.
Because the greatest act of mercy God can
do is to deal with me and my
sins and point them out and let me
sit under Holy Ghost message and let me
hear the genuine voice of God and put
me under conviction so that I can repent
and get right with God.
I ask the Lord when I sit there
to help me not to get loud but
I'm sorry.
That's the way I preach.
I'm sorry.
I wanted to do...
I'll try a little better here.
But you see, they said, give us a
softer message.
Give us a softer voice.
We can't stand that voice of God.
24 hours later, they're still clinging to their
sins.
24 hours later, they're back in their tents
bowing to their gods.
And then just 40 days later, they have
erected this large golden calf dancing naked around
it.
Let me put it in modern terms.
No more of this negative preaching.
No more scaring.
No more negative preaching.
None of this thunder out of heaven.
We can't handle that.
One thing you can be sure of in
this whole affair on Mount Sinai, any believer
who is hiding secret sin in their heart
does not want to hear holy, convicting messages.
They don't want to hear it.
They'll find churches and preachers who are soft
on sin, smooth, flattering prophets.
I am the Lord thy God that brought
you up out of Egypt from the house
of bondage.
Thou shall have no other gods before me.
Thou shall make no graven images.
Thou shall not bow down before them.
That was a pure, unadulterated, straight word from
the very mouth of God.
And this is what many people don't want
to hear today.
No more fire.
No more audible voice speaking to us.
Speak to us through a man.
And God immediately answered that request.
They said, we don't want to hear your
voice, God, audible voice.
We want to hear it through a man.
So God came upon Moses and he prophesied
these words.
The Lord thy God.
In fact, I want you to go to
Deuteronomy 18.
Please, Deuteronomy 18, then show it to you.
It's so powerful, what God said.
What a great prophetic word it is.
The 18th chapter of Deuteronomy, beginning at verse
15.
Are you there?
Here's the answer Moses gave.
The people just said, speak to us through
a man.
The Lord thy God will raise up unto
thee a prophet from the midst of thee,
of thy brethren, like unto me.
Unto him ye shall hearken according to all
that thou hast desired of the Lord thy
God in Horeb in the day of the
assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the
voice of the Lord my God, neither let
me see this great fire any more that
I die not.
And the Lord said unto me, They have
well spoken that which they have spoken.
I will raise them up a prophet from
among their brethren, like unto thee.
I will put my words in his mouth,
and he shall speak unto them all that
I shall command him.
And it shall come to pass that whosoever
will not hearken unto my words which he
shall speak in my name, I will require
it of him.
Now look at me, please.
Who do you think that prophet is?
Stephen made it very clear when he was
speaking before the priest.
He made it very clear in Acts 7
.37 that this was Jesus Christ.
Incarnate among men, became among us, just like
one of the brethren, took on human flesh.
A man just like Moses, in that he
was human and meek.
God answered that, but it took 1,500
years from the time Moses spoke that prophecy
for Christ to appear.
1,500 years.
But I tell you folks, in that 1
,500 years, God did speak to his people.
He spoke through prophets and seers and righteous
kings.
He sent them rising early.
Rising early doesn't mean they got up at
4 o'clock.
Rising early means that they prophesied of coming
judgments long before it happened.
God raised them up months and years before
the prophecies came to pass.
I've been prophesying an economic collapse in the
United States, and people say, well, you've been
saying that for a year now that the
Depression is coming, and it's not there.
God raises up.
I'm not a prophet.
I'm one of his many, many watchmen.
But folks, he said, I raised them up
early, and God spoke for 1,500 years,
prophet after prophet, seer after seer, king after
king.
He sent, he raised up young boys even
like Samuel.
He spoke to them.
The Scripture says, but our fathers would not
obey.
They thrust Moses from them.
And in their hearts, they turned back again
into Egypt.
Israel became, the Scripture says, a stubborn, rebellious
generation.
A generation that did not set their hearts
aright and whose spirit was not steadfast with
God.
I want you to go to Jeremiah, the
seventh chapter now, and show you something further
on this matter.
Jeremiah, the seventh chapter.
I'm sure you love the word, don't you?
Seventh chapter of Jeremiah.
God didn't wait for 1,500 years to
speak.
He spoke through one man after another, one
prophet after another.
Verse 25, Jeremiah 7, beginning to read verse
25.
I'm going to read through verse 28.
Since the day that your fathers, Jeremiah 7,
verse 25.
Since the day that your fathers came forth
out of the land of Egypt, unto this
day, you understand that all this time, 1
,500 years, God did it.
I have sent unto you all my servants
the prophets, daily rising up early and sending
them.
Yet they hearken not unto me, nor incline
their ear, but harden their neck.
They did worse than their fathers.
Therefore shall thou speak all these words unto
them, but they will not hearken to thee.
Thou shalt also call unto them, but they
will not answer thee.
But thou shalt say unto them, This is
a nation that obeyed not the voice of
the Lord their God, nor receiveth correction.
Truth is perished and cut off from their
mouth.
Year after year went by.
1,500 years.
Isaiah said the word that he received was
directly from the mouth of God.
He said, when I spake, you didn't hear.
You did evil before mine eyes, before the
Lord's eyes, and did choose that which the
Lord delighted not in.
God, all those 1,500 years, was wooing
His people.
He was warning His people.
He even threatened His people out of grace
and love.
He did all of this, and they turned
a deaf ear all the way through to
Malachi, all the way up to the time
of Jesus Christ, just prior to His coming.
But the Bible says in the New Testament,
under the New Covenant, God speaks to His
people in another way.
He speaks to us through a man.
That man is Jesus Christ Himself.
And I read to you.
Don't turn to Hebrews 1 and 2.
God hath in many ways, in various manners,
spaken in times past under the fathers by
the prophets.
But He has in the last days spoken
to us by His Son, whom He hath
appointed heir of all things, by whom also
He made the world.
See, God waited 1,500 years looking for
fruit, looking for obedience.
He had all this strength.
I want you to know God is a
God of mercy.
In the Old Testament, just as He is
in the New, God is unchangeable.
That was mercy at Mount Sinai.
I get a little peeved when I hear
pastors and ministers and theologians say, oh, thank
God Sinai is gone.
That wrath of God.
No, no, no, no.
That was mercy.
God's mercy was shown in such a way.
You see, Jesus gave us a parable of
a vineyard owner that was looking for fruit.
And so He sent servant after servant after
servant looking for fruit.
And they killed every one of those servants.
They wouldn't listen.
The Master, through His own voice, sent His
messengers speaking through men.
And then He finally said, I'll send my
own son perhaps.
They will reverence Him.
Instead of reverence the voice of His own
Son, God's own Son, they killed Him, that's
what the scripture says.
Jesus gave that parable to describe what's happening
here.
1,500 years I sent my servants.
And then I said, I'll send my son
perhaps.
They'll hear my voice then.
Now let me show you the point of
all of this.
What's the point?
What's this message all about?
God is still speaking out of heaven.
The voice of God is still sounding mightily
through the whole earth.
I want you to turn to Hebrews, the
12th chapter, and let me show it to
you.
Hebrews 12.
12th chapter of Hebrews.
I want you to start at verse 18
with me please.
You see that voice that first came, came
from Mount Sinai.
The mountain that couldn't be touched.
Verse 18, But we are not come to
that mount that might be touched, that burned
with fire, to the blackness and darkness and
tempest.
The sound of a trumpet, the voice of
words, which voice that they heard entreated that
the word, that they heard entreated that the
word should not be spoken to them anymore.
And said, we don't want to hear that
voice anymore.
But they could not endure that which was
commanded.
Do you understand that?
They couldn't endure, not the voice, but what
the voice commanded.
And if so much as a beast touched
the mountain, it should be stoned or thrust
through with a dart.
So terrible was the sight that Moses said,
I exceedingly fear and quake.
But you are come unto Mount Zion and
into the city of the living God, the
heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable company of angels,
to the general assembly of the church of
the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and
to God the judge of all, and to
the spirits of just men made perfect, and
to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant,
to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better
things than that of Abel.
Now listen closely, verse 25.
See that ye refuse not him that speaketh.
For if they escape not who refused him
that spake on earth, how much more shall
not we escape if we turn away from
him that speaketh from heaven, whose voice then
shook the earth.
But now, you see, they said, we want
a man.
Look at me, folks.
Get the picture.
They said, we want a man to speak
to us.
God said, I'll give you a man to
speak to you.
I'm giving you my own son.
And the Bible said there were many witnesses.
Jesus came to this earth.
He lived a short life.
He had a short ministry.
And many witnesses saw him ascend to heaven
as a man.
Understand that Jesus is not a spirit right
now.
The Spirit of God is upon him.
He is God, but he's also a flesh,
bone man, seated at the right hand of
the Father.
He's a man that still touches on the
feelings of our infirmity.
If he stood here now, out of glory,
you could touch him.
You could kiss him.
You could embrace him.
You could feel him.
He's a man.
Again from heaven.
Not Moses now.
Anyone who didn't listen to Moses was cut
off to ruin.
He were left in the wilderness to despair
without hope, waiting only to die.
And he said, anyone who didn't listen to
this man, was destroyed.
How much more are we going to be
held to account if we will not listen
to this man we ask for?
We ask for a man.
There's a man in glory.
Oh, hallelujah, there's a man in glory.
And God said, there was a voice came.
I spoke once.
Verse 26, whose voice then shook the earth.
But now he is promising once more, not
only the earth, but also heaven.
This word yet once more signifying the removing
of those things that are shaken as the
things that are made, that those things which
cannot be shaken may remain.
Listen, folks.
God has said in the last days, my
son is going to rise and he is
going to speak from heaven and he's going
to shake everything in sight.
He's going to begin with the nations.
He's going to turn to the nations and
he's going to say to the armies and
the navies and all the commanders, begin to
shake, tremble.
He's going to cause conditions that make them
shake and tremble.
He's going to look at every government agency
and he's going to speak the word tremble.
He's going to speak to all of the
elements of the weather and say now, rain,
be withheld.
Winds, shake.
And God is going to shake everything.
The nations of the world are being shaken
right now.
Tell me a nation that's not being shaken.
Every nation.
Last days he said, my son is going
to speak.
Folks, he's going to shake every institution.
He's going to shake our courts that have
ruled God out of our society.
He's going to shake the judges.
He's going to shake the Supreme Court.
He's going to shake every court and every
legislation.
He's going to shake it.
He is going to shake the economies of
the world.
He's already doing it in Asia.
He's doing it in Brazil now.
Brazil is next to go down, followed by
Mexico and Argentina.
He's going to shake every nation, every economy.
He is shaking it now.
Beginning to see the shaking of it.
He said, I'm going to shake everything.
But folks, the greatest shaking is coming to
his body.
God is going to have a house cleaning.
The house cleaning is coming.
He is going to shake the church.
You talk about a coming revival.
My Bible says here there's a shaking coming.
A terrible shaking.
When everything that is unholy, everything unclean, everything
that is of flesh is going to be
wiped out and shaken.
I get letters, especially from the elderly.
I have hundreds of thousands on my mailing
list from all over the world.
And the pitiful cry of thousands of letters
is this.
Pastor David, I can't stand to go to
my church anymore.
Entertainment, choreographed worship that looks more comfortable on
Broadway or in a nightclub.
Our church, one says they push all the
pews out once a month and they have
rock concerts.
And he said, those kids that are performing
are in the nightclubs in our city one
night.
And the next night they're in our church.
They write to me and said, the preaching
in my...
Thank God there are many churches on fire
for God.
God is raising up a young ministry.
Especially they're so shut in with God and
they have the mind of God.
And they're coming forth to expose all of
this hype and foolishness.
It's going to be exposed.
How is it going to be exposed?
God said you want to speak, you want
to hear through man.
Jesus is going to speak into the hearts
of young men.
They're not looking for mailing lists.
They're not looking for money.
They're not out for big offerings.
They're not out for any kind of bigness.
They just want to preach the truth.
They want to be shut in with God.
And when they stand in the pulpit, you
can hear them.
They may murder the king's English.
But you know you're hearing from the heart
of God.
You know Jesus is speaking.
I don't want to hear some great theologian.
I want to go hear a young man.
I want to hear anybody that's been shut
in with God.
And I want him to tear everything in
my heart apart.
I want God to shake me.
It shall come to pass that whosoever shall
not hearken unto my words, which he shall
speak in my name, I will require it
of him.
You know what that word means?
He said, I'm going to hunt it down
and expose it.
He said, I'm going to hunt it down.
The Holy Ghost is going to chase it
down.
Now, folks, in this pulpit we preach so
much mercy and grace.
I have spent a whole, almost year and
a half, preaching on the love and grace
of the new covenant.
My next book is called The New Covenant
Unveiled.
It's all about the grace and mercy of
God.
But, folks, we are seeing so many do
despite to that grace of God today.
I will require it of him.
See that you refuse not him that speaketh.
For if they escape not who refused him
that spake on earth, how much more shall
we not escape?
If we turn away from him that now
speaks from heaven, we're not going to escape
as a nation.
We're not going to escape as individuals.
Beloved, it's not the devil that's going to
do the shaking.
God said, I'm going to do the shaking.
God said, I'm going to shake it.
Now, let me come down to where we're
all living now.
So far, you may have been able to
shake it off.
But now I'm going to get real personal.
I'm going to start digging by the Holy
Ghost to every one of his people.
He began with me.
He does it every day in my prayer
closet.
The Lord Jesus is coming by his voice
to every child who calls himself by the
name of Jesus.
You say, Christ is my Lord.
If that be so, you have hidden sin
in your life.
You're going to hear him speak.
Let me tell you what he's going to
say.
Why have you not listened to my voice?
Why have you refused to obey me?
First of all, to every backslider.
Everyone listening to me right now.
That you once had such a touch of
God.
You had fire burning in your soul.
You loved the Word of God.
And you sit now under my preaching.
You've been straying.
You've been drifting away from Jesus.
You've heard all of his mercy and grace
and love.
You've heard it all.
And yet you've been doing despite to his
grace.
And the voice of the Lord is going
to come before your whole life is being
shaken to the foundations.
He's going to come one day and shake
you, yes.
Because there comes a time when we harden
ourselves.
Where God, in spite of his mercy, cannot
penetrate that shield we put up.
And the Lord is speaking to you now
through my voice.
Through the Holy Spirit.
In my body.
Controlling my voice.
Saying, why have you not come back to
my grace?
Why have you been rejecting it?
Why do you keep putting it off?
That's the Word of the Lord.
That's Jesus speaking in the last days from
heaven.
He's speaking to some from heaven right now.
To you just like he said is.
He said, I'm going to shake everything in
your life.
And you need to be ready for that
shaking.
Why have you continued in your sin?
Why will you not hear my invitation?
Why will you not come and be reconciled
to me again?
Why?
That question you're going to have to answer
at the judgment seat.
But he's asking to you now.
In a time of mercy and grace.
Why are you still living in your stubbornness?
Why won't you yield?
Why won't you give yourself?
How about those that are holding back half
the price?
Not talking about money.
If you're here this morning and you've had
a homosexual past.
And you've come to Jesus.
And you said, Jesus, I believe your covenant
promises.
That you will give me a new heart.
You'll implant the fear of God in me.
And you'll cause me to walk in your
ways.
Because I really want to be delivered.
But you're still having sexual liaisons in homosexuality.
Either lesbianism or homosexuality.
And God showed me.
And I want you to listen close.
Some of you have heard us preach for
months and even years.
And you're still walking the street.
You're still connecting as a homosexual.
And you're still indulging in your sin.
And Jesus will come to you right now.
He comes now.
Now folks, when God started the church on
the day of Pentecost.
When people kept half the price.
They fell dead.
Paul the Apostle, when he saw hidden sin.
And there was no desire to repent and
walk away.
And they were like the Israelites.
They had all the right words.
And they looked like Christians.
And they acted like Christians.
But that thing had their heart.
And they wouldn't let go.
They were so given to it.
They wouldn't let go.
Paul said, you're going to be turned over
to Satan.
For the destruction of your flesh.
That your soul may be saved.
I'm going to be going to three people
in this church that I know.
That I've dealt with.
And I'm going to let them know.
That after all the counseling of love that
I've given.
And all the scriptures.
If they will not be honest with God
now.
They're going to be turned over to the
devil.
For the destruction of the flesh.
For their soul may be saved.
I'm going to lay hands on them.
And God told me to do it.
And he's going to bring his righteous fear.
And that's what this is all about.
God, Jesus is coming soon.
And this is, God's saying, you can't play
games now.
You can't lie.
You can't cheat.
You can't live in adultery.
You can't live in fornication.
And you can't come to church and raise
your hands.
And sing and shout as if everything is
all right.
God says, now folks, no clapping.
No clapping, please.
Now, what about murmuring.
And complaining.
As God sings.
Now, God's been dealing with Gwen and I
on this.
I was complaining about something a few weeks
ago.
And the Holy Spirit came on me.
And said, get up in your room and
pray.
And I got on my face.
And the Lord said, David, you have no
reason on earth to make a single complaint
about anything.
You have no reason or right to murmur
about anything.
You live in a nice house.
You have a nice car.
You have children who serve God.
You have a wife who loves you.
You have a ministry.
What do you have to murmur about?
It's not a loving matter.
Come on.
A world full of homeless people.
A world where people have nothing to eat.
Children dying.
Husbands being buried.
And you complain and murmur about trifles.
God help us.
I tremble before a holy God.
And I told my wife.
And she said, I feel the same way.
And my wife yesterday, I know she's learning
it.
Because I'm learning it too.
She said something.
Was this the complaint?
I just hate that.
Oh God, I'm sorry.
I didn't mean it.
Right on the spot.
And I'm getting all my children together.
And I'm telling the same thing.
Where is your gratitude?
Where is your thankfulness?
God has blessed us.
We're almost ready to vomit it out.
And yet we complain and murmur about the
slightest thing.
We complain and murmur.
And God said, I'm going to require it
of you.
I'm going to require it of you.
I've given you my son.
I've given you eternal life.
I've given you health.
I've given you strength.
What are you doing?
Murmuring and complaining in my face.
God forgive us.
His awesome voice is coming.
If you repent all the great love that
he rushes in with and how he heals
so quickly.
Murmur not as did Israel.
And we're destroyed to the destroyer.
You keep murmuring, complaining.
You'll see a shaking.
Oh yes, you will.
You'll see a shaking in your family.
You'll see a shaking in your business.
You'll see it in your household.
You'll see it in every side.
God said, I'm going to shake everything that
can be shaken.
The Lord said, you're not going to bow
down to your idols anymore.
And the wonderful thing is, when he comes
and purges his church, there's going to be
such a joy.
You know, Pastor David Davis will be speaking
this afternoon.
And he got his church together, he told
me, group and had a Y2K, was it
a dinner?
And folks, in this church, we're not afraid
of Y2K.
We're not afraid of anything of nature or
the devil or anything else or the flesh.
We're cautious.
We know what to do.
God's told us what to do.
If we store food, it's because we want
to give it to those around us who
don't have any.
That's all we preach.
But they had a, because Israel, especially in
Israel, they're not Y2K compliant at all.
It's going to be really bad in Israel,
believe me, as many parts of the world.
But they had a Y2, was this rice
and beans?
And candlelight, as if it had already happened.
And David told me it was the best
fellowship and the sweetest presence of the Lord,
how people are going to be all one.
You see, God does all of these things
to purge and cleanse and purge the system
so that what is left can't be shaken.
He said everything that's going to be left
in your life and mine and in the
church is going to be unshakeable.
There's going to be fellowship like you've never
known.
There's going to be joy like you've never
experienced in Christ because he's going to become
all in all.
He's going to become everything.
He's going to have to be your doctor
before all this is all over.
He's going to be your physician.
He's going to be everything he claims to
be.
Glory be to God.
Stand, if you will, please.
Stand.
Hallelujah.
Beloved, I've delivered to you my soul, and
I have to tell you from the depths
of my heart, I believe I can stand
on Judgment Day when the books are opened
and this message is repeated in the sound
of my ears.
I'll be able to rejoice that I spoke
his mind.
Now hear it again in all the overflow
rooms and the annexes.
If you're in the lower rotunda, here in
the main auditorium.
If while I was preaching, the Holy Spirit
pierced your heart with one of his arrows,
and he spoke to you.
If you're one of those who've been drifting
or backslidden or lukewarm, I want you to
come.
If you are not right with God, if
you don't know Jesus, you come.
And I don't want anybody to come here
unless the Spirit draws you.
Please don't come.
It won't work.
Nothing's going to happen if you don't come
only as the Spirit tugs in your heart.
We don't count numbers.
You can't join this church.
We don't have a membership.
But I know the Holy Ghost is dealing
with people, and he's been saying to you,
you're hearing his voice clearly.
This is the day to make it right.
Come back to your first love.
And if the God, the Holy Ghost speaks
to you, you have to acknowledge the word
of God.
Pastor David, I've developed a critical spirit.
The Lord would say if you harbor bitterness
or resentment towards somebody, you've got something you
can't let go of, bitterness or hatred, Jesus
is going to ask you, why?
Why won't you let it go?
I want you to come also right now.
You get out of your seat the moment
the Spirit speaks to you.
Now, up in the balcony, go to either
stairs on either side.
And in the annex, please, in the large
hall, just go between the screens.
Just step forward to the screens.
One of our pastors is there to minister
to you.
I'll pray for you in just a moment.
And then our pastor there will give you
directions.
You don't sign anything.
You don't join anything.
You come only because the Spirit draws you.
Holy Spirit, speak to those in this place
this morning.
Lord, some that have got to have their
tongues sanctified.
Lord, that have just been saying things in
your presence.
Lord, that should have never been said.
Complaining, murmuring, doubting, unbelief.
Oh, God, forgive us for all of that.
Where have you at?
Do you feel the tongue of the Holy
Spirit?
Come up in the balcony, please.
Just go to the stairs on either side.
And come down any aisle.
I'm going to pray for those that are
coming.
I'm going to believe the Lord for a
miracle.
If you're not right with God, some of
you are here.
Somebody brought you.
You're here with a friend.
You came.
You heard about the church.
And you're here.
And I pray that the Lord has opened
your heart.
He's not mad at you.
He's here to deliver you.
He said you're going to have to be
honest with me.
Be honest about it.
Let the Holy Spirit shine the light on.
So there's no hidden thing in your life.
Nothing hidden.
Anything secret has to go.
And he'll give you all the power you
need to release it.
In the annexes and here in the main
auditorium, let me speak to you that came
forward in the annex and here.
Moses said to the people, Don't be afraid.
The Lord is trying to empower you against
sin that you may live a life without
fear of man.
I have the awesome fear of God, and
I don't ever want to lose that.
But not the fear of man.
When the Bible said God has not given
us the spirit of fear, he's talking about
the fear of man.
Because the Holy Ghost, according to Isaiah, is
given to us to implant the true fear
of God into our hearts that we may
not sin against the Lord.
By the fear of the Lord, men depart
from iniquity, the Bible says.
I hope you came because you know in
your heart that the Lord loves you.
And he's willing to hear you.
He said I'm more willing to give than
you know how to receive.
He's been waiting for you to come.
The Bible said there's more rejoicing in heaven
over one lost sheep who returns than the
ninety-nine and the full.
Rejoicing in heaven over one who repents.
I want you to pray this prayer out
of your heart.
Not out of your head, but out of
your heart.
Jesus, I need you.
I need your love.
But I need to know how serious you
are that you require this of me.
That I obey your voice.
That I hear what you have to say
and I walk in that word.
And by the power of the Holy Ghost,
I obey.
Lord Jesus, forgive my disobedience.
I ask you, Lord Jesus, to break the
chains of sin in my life.
I ask you, Lord Jesus, to fill me
with the Holy Spirit and empower me to
resist sin through the Spirit of God and
not through my own strength.
I'm no match for the devil.
I'm no match for my temptation.
But Holy Ghost, you are.
And I trust you, Holy Spirit.
Now, Lord Jesus, sprinkle the blood, your own
precious blood, on my mouth, my tongue and
my lips that I'll no more complain or
murmur.
Forgive me for this, Jesus.
Remind me about it so that I can
immediately and learn to walk my daily walk
with no murmuring, no complaining.
I repent.
I hear that coming from the whole congregation.
That's wonderful.
Lord Jesus, you heard that now and I
pray your gracious mercy and love.
Reconcile us now, Jesus, to the Father.
Reconcile us.
You've given us access to the Father, so
we come boldly to the throne of grace
to receive mercy and grace in this hour
of need I want everybody that truly repented.
Now, I can't say even if it's only
murmuring.
In fact, if you're going to totem pole
sins, I'll put murmuring up here and adultery
down here.
You can't totem pole sin.
They're all the same in the sight of
God.
There's no big sin, no little sin.
It's all sin in the sight of God.
And the only reason he digs it out
and the only reason he comes like a
hammer is to break it so that he
can give us strength.
There's nothing hindering the flow of his love
and his spirit.
I want everybody that honestly repented before the
Lord.
I want you just in your own words
to thank him right out loud.
I want you to give him thanks.
Lord, I thank you for your faithfulness.
I thank you, Jesus.
I give you praise.
This is the conclusion of the tape.
