1
00:00:00,700 --> 00:00:04,080
I come to you today, friends, with a

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:05,480
burden upon my heart.

3
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:09,120
It's a great burden indeed, because I know

4
00:00:09,120 --> 00:00:13,720
this message, from personal experience, can change the

5
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:15,200
rest of your life.

6
00:00:15,820 --> 00:00:18,560
Hear me now as I bring it before

7
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:18,980
you.

8
00:00:19,300 --> 00:00:22,380
I pray God's Spirit will take it and

9
00:00:22,380 --> 00:00:24,840
make a difference in your life for you

10
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:25,500
with it.

11
00:00:25,500 --> 00:00:29,880
God makes a statement in Ezekiel 18.4

12
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:33,380
that pertains specifically to you, friend.

13
00:00:33,900 --> 00:00:36,920
Hear now as God's speaking to you, and

14
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:38,700
you better pay attention.

15
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:44,560
Behold, all souls are mine, as the soul

16
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:45,240
of the Father.

17
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,640
So also the soul of the Son is

18
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:49,160
mine.

19
00:00:49,700 --> 00:00:53,360
The soul that sinneth, it shall die.

20
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:58,440
That means hell and its misery awaits every

21
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:03,200
individual who dies in his or her sins.

22
00:01:03,519 --> 00:01:05,540
No exceptions here, friends.

23
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,560
The soul that sins shall die.

24
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:13,340
That means eternal damnation and ruin for all

25
00:01:13,340 --> 00:01:17,220
eternity by the second death in the lake

26
00:01:17,220 --> 00:01:17,840
of fire.

27
00:01:18,580 --> 00:01:22,160
The least little sin you ever did, friend,

28
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,440
from your youth up till now, will send

29
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,180
you straight to hell.

30
00:01:27,700 --> 00:01:32,080
Listen, you have an adversary who absolutely hates

31
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:32,460
you.

32
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:34,220
He hates Christ.

33
00:01:34,860 --> 00:01:37,400
He hates the very name of Jesus.

34
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,060
And he hates all men and women who

35
00:01:41,060 --> 00:01:43,360
have taken the name of Christian.

36
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,760
And so he hates you with a raging

37
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,540
passion and a seething envy.

38
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,500
And the devil will stop at nothing to

39
00:01:53,500 --> 00:01:54,640
destroy you.

40
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,000
And he will not stoop too low to

41
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:03,300
entice you into moral failure and even suicide.

42
00:02:04,500 --> 00:02:08,280
Satan lurks in the shadows of your life

43
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:13,120
like a serpent hides among the rocks waiting

44
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,220
for his best opportunity to poke out his

45
00:02:16,220 --> 00:02:18,600
head and strike his victim.

46
00:02:19,340 --> 00:02:23,020
Satan will take a good man like King

47
00:02:23,020 --> 00:02:26,380
David and give him rest from all his

48
00:02:26,380 --> 00:02:30,260
enemies and peace in his household and riches

49
00:02:30,260 --> 00:02:33,880
and reputation and extra sleep upon his sofa

50
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:37,920
and too much self-reliance just so he

51
00:02:37,920 --> 00:02:42,400
can place a naked Bathsheba within his eyesight

52
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:46,440
to have him stop just enough to gaze

53
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:51,320
upon her naked flesh long enough to arouse

54
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,840
his passions and lust until he is inflamed

55
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:55,640
by them.

56
00:02:56,580 --> 00:03:00,740
So David will stop at nothing now to

57
00:03:00,740 --> 00:03:06,140
satisfy his sensual cravings even adultery and murder

58
00:03:06,140 --> 00:03:09,460
will no longer out of the ballpark with

59
00:03:09,460 --> 00:03:09,980
him.

60
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,520
But the hiss of Satan bites the nighttime

61
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:17,820
air with the victory of being instrumental in

62
00:03:17,820 --> 00:03:20,100
the fall of a good man to his

63
00:03:20,100 --> 00:03:20,600
hurt.

64
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,200
Satan will lie in wait for you, friend,

65
00:03:24,660 --> 00:03:27,200
and rob you of your sleep and steal

66
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:32,360
your nerve with life's worries and unforeseen disappointments

67
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:36,620
to bring you down emotionally and spiritually to

68
00:03:36,620 --> 00:03:40,180
the place of sin and grievously against the

69
00:03:40,180 --> 00:03:43,720
very Christ who bled and died for you.

70
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,000
And the hiss of the serpent will bite

71
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,340
your nighttime air with the victory of making

72
00:03:50,340 --> 00:03:51,240
you his victim.

73
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,640
You can bet your bottom dollar, friend, that

74
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,740
the devil is coming for you.

75
00:03:58,740 --> 00:04:02,600
The tale of my message today is the

76
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,680
devil at your door.

77
00:04:05,660 --> 00:04:09,180
He'd like nothing more than to destroy your

78
00:04:09,180 --> 00:04:12,920
family and ruin your testimony and clutch you

79
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,959
in his claws while he drags you down

80
00:04:15,959 --> 00:04:16,680
to hell.

81
00:04:17,579 --> 00:04:21,600
I had a very vivid dream some time

82
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,300
back that woke me up in the middle

83
00:04:25,300 --> 00:04:25,840
of the night.

84
00:04:25,900 --> 00:04:27,460
It was so real and vivid.

85
00:04:27,460 --> 00:04:31,740
I dreamed the devil was traveling at lightning

86
00:04:31,740 --> 00:04:37,020
speed across a crowded football stadium to end

87
00:04:37,020 --> 00:04:40,540
up in a back room behind closed doors

88
00:04:40,540 --> 00:04:43,820
with a well-dressed young evangelist.

89
00:04:43,980 --> 00:04:47,500
And the young evangelist had his hand extended

90
00:04:47,500 --> 00:04:51,080
in a handshake and in the palm of

91
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:55,480
that young man's hand was a single claw

92
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:56,520
from a hoof.

93
00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:00,340
A deal was made and worldwide fame was

94
00:05:00,340 --> 00:05:00,800
given.

95
00:05:01,340 --> 00:05:04,560
If only the gospel would be compromised.

96
00:05:05,660 --> 00:05:08,740
The devil knows how to bring you down,

97
00:05:08,900 --> 00:05:11,240
friend, and he will get you to give

98
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,560
a little one way or another if you're

99
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,920
not on your guard continually.

100
00:05:17,700 --> 00:05:21,920
George Whitefield, the great British evangelist, was bothering

101
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,200
the devil in his awakening ministry in London

102
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,680
preaching to 30,000 people in the open

103
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:29,820
air at a time.

104
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:35,160
And many unconverted ministers in the Church of

105
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:39,700
England were envious and furious and frustrated by

106
00:05:39,700 --> 00:05:40,940
the young Whitefield.

107
00:05:41,380 --> 00:05:44,020
They had closed their pulpits to him and

108
00:05:44,020 --> 00:05:45,980
they sought ways to get rid of him.

109
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:50,120
The Bishop of London suggested to them that

110
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,200
if they wanted to put a stop to

111
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,460
George Whitefield, all they had to do was

112
00:05:55,460 --> 00:05:56,620
to make him a bishop.

113
00:05:57,820 --> 00:06:00,300
But that didn't work for young Whitefield.

114
00:06:00,740 --> 00:06:03,400
He'd rather have Christ than a title.

115
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,620
Some men are put out of service to

116
00:06:06,620 --> 00:06:08,220
God by promotion.

117
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,360
Some men are put out of service to

118
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,120
God by success.

119
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,400
Yes, sir, the devil's coming for you, bud,

120
00:06:16,460 --> 00:06:18,280
and you don't see it coming.

121
00:06:18,280 --> 00:06:21,500
Let there be a final judgment for all

122
00:06:21,500 --> 00:06:26,080
mankind, for every mother's son will stand before

123
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,720
God and give an account of himself.

124
00:06:28,900 --> 00:06:30,380
I feel sorry.

125
00:06:30,740 --> 00:06:33,520
It makes me sick to my stomach for

126
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:37,780
the sleepy-headed pastor, lazy in his ministry

127
00:06:37,780 --> 00:06:42,480
and protective of his reputation, with the blood

128
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:47,240
of his congregation on his hands for failing

129
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:48,820
to warn them.

130
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:53,620
A holy God declares, The soul that sinneth,

131
00:06:53,940 --> 00:06:54,980
it shall die.

132
00:06:55,500 --> 00:06:58,240
Why won't he tell them that truth?

133
00:06:58,620 --> 00:07:01,380
Why does he hide hell and its punishments

134
00:07:01,380 --> 00:07:02,260
from them?

135
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,020
Why doesn't he say that hell and its

136
00:07:05,020 --> 00:07:10,300
torments await every individual outside of Christ, redeeming

137
00:07:10,300 --> 00:07:10,880
blood?

138
00:07:11,260 --> 00:07:16,060
God spoke plainly in Ezekiel about the watchman's

139
00:07:16,060 --> 00:07:19,160
duty to warn the souls of men.

140
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:24,680
When I say unto the wicked, O wicked

141
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:29,480
man, that thou shalt surely die, if thou

142
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,500
dost not speak to warn the wicked from

143
00:07:32,500 --> 00:07:36,100
his way, that that wicked man shall die

144
00:07:36,100 --> 00:07:39,380
in his iniquity, but his blood will I

145
00:07:39,380 --> 00:07:41,920
acquire at thine hand.

146
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,260
I tell you, friends, how you can spot

147
00:07:45,260 --> 00:07:47,620
a false prophet at the judgment.

148
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:52,300
He'll be standing there with bloody hands, and

149
00:07:52,300 --> 00:07:56,100
his baptized congregation will be screaming and hollering

150
00:07:56,100 --> 00:07:56,780
in hell.

151
00:07:57,900 --> 00:08:00,980
I'm here to tell you, friends, you better

152
00:08:00,980 --> 00:08:02,840
get the wax out of your ears.

153
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,120
I'm going to be honest with your souls

154
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:05,680
today.

155
00:08:05,940 --> 00:08:08,660
Like we say in the South, I'm going

156
00:08:08,660 --> 00:08:11,700
to give you the oil straight from the

157
00:08:11,700 --> 00:08:12,280
can.

158
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,140
You hear me now when I say, the

159
00:08:15,140 --> 00:08:18,580
soul that sinneth, it shall die.

160
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,920
You hear me now when I say, the

161
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:23,460
devil's out to get you.

162
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,320
When you made a public profession of Christ,

163
00:08:27,660 --> 00:08:30,880
what you did was to abandon the sins

164
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,280
you could get along with best without.

165
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:39,200
For years you've been carefully concealing the ones

166
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,580
you couldn't live without, but they're stacking up

167
00:08:42,580 --> 00:08:45,680
against you now, and all it takes is

168
00:08:45,680 --> 00:08:48,380
for a man to commit one little sin

169
00:08:48,380 --> 00:08:53,440
to qualify for God's declaration that the soul

170
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,600
that sinneth, it shall die.

171
00:08:56,140 --> 00:08:58,900
One sin, friend, can bring you down.

172
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,820
You're standing upon a bridge, and on one

173
00:09:02,820 --> 00:09:05,420
side is heaven, and the other side is

174
00:09:05,420 --> 00:09:08,100
hell, and you're a smack dab in the

175
00:09:08,100 --> 00:09:11,260
middle, and your time is running out, for

176
00:09:11,260 --> 00:09:14,500
the devil is hard at your heels, ready

177
00:09:14,500 --> 00:09:15,260
to pounce.

178
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:17,020
You must decide.

179
00:09:17,380 --> 00:09:20,380
It's high time you lump your sins in

180
00:09:20,380 --> 00:09:24,460
one big pile on that bridge, stack them

181
00:09:24,460 --> 00:09:27,800
there, and take a torch to that bridge,

182
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,220
and say, I will follow Jesus.

183
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:33,300
No turning back.

184
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:35,080
No turning back.

185
00:09:36,220 --> 00:09:40,160
And once you do that, friends, biblical repentance

186
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,720
is when the love of sin dies.

187
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:48,060
You must repudiate it, turn from it, all

188
00:09:48,060 --> 00:09:51,760
of it, and forsake it, and cast yourself

189
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,960
upon a bleeding and dying Christ, and believe

190
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:59,900
on Him, and saving faith means you take

191
00:09:59,900 --> 00:10:05,280
Jesus, take Jesus as your Lord, as well

192
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:06,300
as your Savior.

193
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:12,160
Anything less than this isn't salvation, for when

194
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,340
a man is saved, he undergoes change.

195
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:19,160
The Spirit of God comes and implants a

196
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,420
new disposition in him for holiness.

197
00:10:22,420 --> 00:10:27,360
He may still slip along the way and

198
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,420
go into some backsliding, but the good shepherd

199
00:10:30,420 --> 00:10:33,620
will come and pick him up, and dust

200
00:10:33,620 --> 00:10:37,140
him off, and set him back, because he's

201
00:10:37,140 --> 00:10:39,520
always on the narrow way.

202
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,620
He's always seeking heaven's way.

203
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,740
He always wants a better way.

204
00:10:46,820 --> 00:10:49,380
Don't be fooled by the devil, friend.

205
00:10:50,020 --> 00:10:51,700
He'll get you in the end.

206
00:10:51,700 --> 00:10:55,040
I've seen people near the end of their

207
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:58,520
journey go to the devil in smoke and

208
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:02,320
ruin, but believe me when I say the

209
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,180
soul that sinneth, it shall die.

210
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,380
You must get to Christ, and get under

211
00:11:08,380 --> 00:11:09,140
His blood.

212
00:11:09,680 --> 00:11:14,060
In Revelation, we read, unto Him that loved

213
00:11:14,060 --> 00:11:17,620
us and washed us from our sins in

214
00:11:17,620 --> 00:11:18,720
His own blood.

215
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,620
I've seen families ruined by the devil.

216
00:11:23,540 --> 00:11:27,120
I had a good Christian friend who was

217
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,520
a leader in his church, and he had

218
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:33,140
a good testimony as a Christian within his

219
00:11:33,140 --> 00:11:33,740
community.

220
00:11:34,220 --> 00:11:37,700
He had a loving wife and three adorable

221
00:11:37,700 --> 00:11:39,180
little children.

222
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,620
We would get together often for lunch, and

223
00:11:42,620 --> 00:11:46,260
he always just wanted to talk about Jesus

224
00:11:46,260 --> 00:11:50,740
and share with me Bible verses that had

225
00:11:50,740 --> 00:11:52,540
impacted him that week.

226
00:11:52,680 --> 00:11:55,840
He was one of those individuals that when

227
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,700
you were with him, he made you thirsty

228
00:11:58,700 --> 00:11:59,540
for Jesus.

229
00:12:01,140 --> 00:12:05,480
And as his success in business grew, so

230
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:09,460
did his passion for his business, and we'd

231
00:12:09,460 --> 00:12:14,000
have lunch, and oddly, he no longer wanted

232
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:15,920
to talk about Jesus anymore.

233
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,840
He just wanted to talk about work and

234
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,320
talk about how much money he was making

235
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,320
and how he could travel now and buy

236
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,880
this and that now and do this and

237
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:28,360
that for his family now.

238
00:12:28,580 --> 00:12:32,500
The world was crowding out his love for

239
00:12:32,500 --> 00:12:33,060
Jesus.

240
00:12:34,140 --> 00:12:37,420
Well, this man hired a pretty new secretary

241
00:12:37,420 --> 00:12:40,820
who was half his age, and it wasn't

242
00:12:40,820 --> 00:12:44,100
long that we all found out he had

243
00:12:44,100 --> 00:12:49,580
fallen into an adulterous relationship with this woman.

244
00:12:50,500 --> 00:12:54,640
His moral failure broke up his family, and

245
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:58,340
his marriage ended in divorce, and all he

246
00:12:58,340 --> 00:13:01,980
once held dear was taken from him.

247
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:07,520
He, who was my biggest inspiration, became my

248
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:08,540
biggest warning.

249
00:13:09,340 --> 00:13:12,520
You can't live, friend, with one foot with

250
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:16,000
God and the other playing footsie with the

251
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:20,640
world, a divided heart is proof positive of

252
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:22,260
a backslidden heart.

253
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,880
If you call yourself a Christian and you

254
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,880
love your family, then please, I beg you,

255
00:13:31,620 --> 00:13:34,320
rededicate your life to Christ today.

256
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,980
Get serious with God, friend, and he will

257
00:13:38,980 --> 00:13:41,040
get serious with you.

258
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:45,100
Get down on your knees in a quiet

259
00:13:45,100 --> 00:13:49,200
place alone with the Almighty and admit your

260
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:54,140
laziness and confess your sinfulness and ask him

261
00:13:54,140 --> 00:13:58,180
to make you the person he knows you

262
00:13:58,180 --> 00:14:00,100
can be by his grace.

263
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,840
Ask God Almighty to put up a hedge

264
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,900
around you and your family and to seal

265
00:14:06,900 --> 00:14:09,720
it with the blood of his Son to

266
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,360
keep the devil out of your home and

267
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,120
to keep the devil out of your life

268
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,660
and to make you a watchman who does

269
00:14:17,660 --> 00:14:19,940
not go to sleep on his watch.

270
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:23,460
Don't give the devil an inch, friend, because

271
00:14:23,460 --> 00:14:26,640
if you do, he will take a mile

272
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:28,320
off your hide.

273
00:14:29,300 --> 00:14:33,720
My friend traded his family for a lust

274
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:34,660
-filled affair.

275
00:14:35,620 --> 00:14:37,960
Maybe you are walking a chalk line with

276
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:42,440
God and the dividing lines getting fuzzy between

277
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,600
good and evil and right and wrong and

278
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:47,920
you're slipping on the other side.

279
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:49,900
Things are getting blurred.

280
00:14:50,420 --> 00:14:53,220
It's not too late, friend, to turn back

281
00:14:53,220 --> 00:14:57,480
to God now and give yourself wholeheartedly to

282
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:01,540
Him in submission to Him and surrender your

283
00:15:01,540 --> 00:15:05,020
all to the Lordship of Christ Jesus.

284
00:15:05,940 --> 00:15:10,760
Charles Finney, in his book, Lecture on Revival,

285
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:15,360
speaks the backslider in heart who desires to

286
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,400
repent and return to God.

287
00:15:19,140 --> 00:15:21,780
Finney quotes Hosea 10-12.

288
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:26,460
Break up your fallow ground, for it is

289
00:15:26,460 --> 00:15:30,320
time to seek the Lord till He come

290
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:33,380
and reign righteousness upon you.

291
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:39,000
Finney goes on to say the Jews were

292
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:40,280
a nation of farmers.

293
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:46,320
Scripture, therefore, commonly draws illustrations from that line

294
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,880
of work and from scenes farmers and shepherds

295
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:51,480
would know well.

296
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:56,460
So when the prophet Hosea addresses Israel as

297
00:15:56,460 --> 00:16:01,520
a nation of backsliders, reproving their idolatry and

298
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:05,180
threatening them with the judgments of God, he

299
00:16:05,180 --> 00:16:08,980
uses fallow ground as his illustration.

300
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,960
Fallow ground is ground once farmed but which

301
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:15,320
now lies waste.

302
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,700
It must be broken up again before it

303
00:16:18,700 --> 00:16:20,180
is ready to be planted.

304
00:16:21,020 --> 00:16:26,480
Sometimes your heart becomes matted down, hard and

305
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,880
dry, and fall into waste.

306
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,120
It'll bear no fruit until it is broken

307
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:32,760
up.

308
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,060
It is this softening of the heart, making

309
00:16:36,060 --> 00:16:39,300
it feel the truth, which the prophet calls

310
00:16:39,300 --> 00:16:44,080
breaking up your fallow ground, so says our

311
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:45,480
friend Finney.

312
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,760
Oh dear friend, don't play with that devil's

313
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:52,860
fire that inflames you and ultimately will ruin

314
00:16:52,860 --> 00:16:53,360
you.

315
00:16:53,780 --> 00:16:57,860
Jesus, the good shepherd, is on the lookout

316
00:16:57,860 --> 00:17:00,320
for his straying sheep.

317
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:04,040
Call upon him now, friend, and break up

318
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:08,339
the fallow ground of your sin-laden heart

319
00:17:08,339 --> 00:17:11,720
and ask the Christ who saved you to

320
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:16,180
come rescue you and deliver you and carry

321
00:17:16,180 --> 00:17:19,900
you back upon his strong shoulders.

322
00:17:20,819 --> 00:17:23,420
Let me pray for you now, friend.

323
00:17:24,700 --> 00:17:30,380
Great God, I beseech you for your mercy

324
00:17:30,380 --> 00:17:31,520
and grace.

325
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:35,380
We need your power from above.

326
00:17:35,700 --> 00:17:38,960
We need your protective blood.

327
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:44,160
Say in your heart, friend, say this, friend,

328
00:17:44,740 --> 00:17:48,260
say, Lord Jesus, I give it all to

329
00:17:48,260 --> 00:17:51,460
you, all I have I give to thee.

330
00:17:51,700 --> 00:17:55,840
I ask you to watch over me, make

331
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:59,960
me the person you know I can be.

332
00:18:00,260 --> 00:18:04,300
Come, Lord Jesus, and change my life.

333
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,800
I lay it all on your altar.

334
00:18:08,300 --> 00:18:11,380
I lay everything before thee.

335
00:18:11,980 --> 00:18:15,580
Oh, I pray these things, friends, in the

336
00:18:15,580 --> 00:18:18,140
strong name of Jesus.

337
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:19,780
Amen.

338
00:18:21,460 --> 00:18:24,460
And dear friend, sing with me in your

339
00:18:24,460 --> 00:18:25,100
heart.

340
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,000
Sing with me in your heart, friend.

341
00:18:28,540 --> 00:18:33,180
I have decided to follow Jesus.

342
00:18:33,860 --> 00:18:38,660
I have decided to follow Jesus.

343
00:18:39,380 --> 00:18:44,240
I have decided to follow Jesus.

344
00:18:45,020 --> 00:18:49,460
No turning back, no turning back.

345
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:54,620
The world behind me, the cross before me.

346
00:18:55,000 --> 00:19:00,000
The world behind me, the cross before me.

347
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:05,220
The world behind me, the cross before me.

348
00:19:05,540 --> 00:19:09,960
No turning back, no turning back.

349
00:19:10,300 --> 00:19:10,940
Hallelujah!

350
00:19:11,740 --> 00:19:12,840
Blessed Jesus!
