It would almost send us mad, you know,
you're an old man, you're frail, maybe you
think so.
I weep as much as I laugh.
I spend more times in quietness for America
than you Yankees do.
Let me ask you a very simple thing
and yet very profound thing.
What does, pardon me, what?
I think it was a twelfth chapter in
the gospel according to Matthew.
These solemn words, I can hardly see them
to tell you myself.
Matthew chapter 11, then began he to upbraid
the cities wherein most of the mighty works
were done, and they repented not.
Warned to thee, Chorazin, warned to thee, Bethsaida,
for if the mighty works which were done
in you had been done in Tyre and
Sidon, they would have repented long ago in
sackcloth and ashes.
Dear God, I'm getting more, I'm getting more
magazines on prophecy and prophets than ever in
my life.
You know what?
I guarantee if the Old Testament prophets Isaiah
was here and Jeremiah, and they read that
we have a million abortions.
Do you know in America since 1973, we've
liquidated 25 million babies in a Christian country.
We're the highest rate in the world.
Oh, I hear two preachers saying, I've had
an invitation to preach in Russia anywhere I
like.
Dear God, if I got that, I'd put
my head in a bucket.
I'd be disgusted.
Am I so inoffensive in what I preach?
Am I so acceptable to devilish communists that
I can go anywhere and say, oh, nothing
will happen.
After all, look in America.
They preach every day.
They radio every day.
They've the highest rate of divorce every day.
They're the highest rate of abortions in the
world.
They're the highest rate of drunkards.
We've 10 million drunkards.
How many millions have we on drugs that
we know of?
And this canker is eating.
As Gibbons said in the decline and all
of the fall of the Roman Empire, it
wasn't destroyed.
Every peroration of Roman had, he would point
and say, Carthage must be destroyed.
But Carthage did not destroy Rome.
Rome destroyed itself.
Nobody will destroy America.
We'll destroy ourselves.
But let me say again, I see today
Sodom is England and Gomorrah is America.
If the mighty works that have been done
in America and England had been done in
Sodom and Gomorrah, they would have repented.
Let me go back a second there and
say if true prophets were true prophets, they'd
be going down the street these days with
sackcloth and bare feet, with a hand in
the air saying, oh, America, America, our girls,
the mothers, when they're only children.
The news told us before we left home
there, there's a new plague in America.
Children nine and ten years of age have
venereal disease.
Do you know AIDS is not a disease?
You people at 50 years of age never
heard of this AIDS in your day or
herpes.
They were invented, they were injected into the
system to destroy Western civilization.
I can give you a document on that.
The monster who worked that is still working
for the American government under cover.
He's a communist.
We're trapped.
There's no way out.
We're a broken nation.
We're broken economically.
We're broken financially.
We're millions of dollars in debt.
We can't pay for our armaments.
Our homes are broken.
Lives are broken.
Minds are broken by drugs.
Bodies are broken by sin.
But the church isn't heartbroken about it.
If I really were as sensitive as I
should be, I'd be walking down the street
in bare feet with sackcloth, my hands up
and saying, oh God, have mercy on America.
Woe unto America!
Woe unto England!
Thou that killest the prophet!
Yes, I'm English.
Okay.
Under the guidance of God and England gave
the world the Bible.
Under the guidance of God, England gave the
greatest revival in history through Methodism.
It was born in England.
The second greatest revival was the Salvation Army
Revival.
It went to 70 countries in 90 years
in England, and yet England is as immoral
and rotten as any country in the earth
just now.
Woe unto England!
All the light you've had.
Do you think they had two 600 million
Bibles in Sodom?
No, but America has.
600 million Bibles, 26 translations.
I'll tell you what, I've been in other
countries.
I say, is my mail here?
Yes, I sort it out.
I look for my letters from Martha.
No matter how many others I have, I
read Martha's letters first.
Supposing I went home and said, darling, I've
been so busy, you know, meetings morning, noon,
and night.
But I've got my satchel.
I've got every letter you ever sent.
Let's sit down and read them together.
Wouldn't that be wonderful?
How much have you read of God's love
letter today?
You say, I love him.
No, you don't.
You love TV.
You didn't watch, you didn't pray for two
hours.
There's a million young men.
I weep when I watch TV.
A young man this morning, crawling on his
belly, throws himself down with his gun.
He says, it's one thing in America to
practice when there's no enemy there, but there's
somebody there wanting to shoot me before I
shoot him.
And the tears are coming down his face.
The other week, when 27 young sailors went
back to their ship, and the boat sank
at the side of the ship, then afterwards,
the funeral service, it showed all the sailors,
some of them from the boat, and there's
a young lady with a baby on her
shoulder, patting it.
A baby will never see its daddy.
There are young women weeping tonight.
The soldier said, it's one thing to practice
and fall down in the sand outside of
California somewhere, but out there, there's a guy
who wants to get me, and I'm afraid
something may lob a bomb over my head.
And we're gonna see people blinded in the
streets.
We're gonna see all kinds of judgment coming,
but the church isn't praying.
I don't see men walking the streets.
You talk about traveling, they'll laugh at you
in the church.
We don't groan.
Is it true that hell has no exits?
There are a million ways into hell, there's
not one way out?
Tell me this.
Do you think that Sodom had one Bible
school?
Do you think that Gomorrah had one seminary?
Do you know how many seminaries there are
in America?
I checked with Billy Graham's office.
There are 540 Bible schools in America and
Canada and 250 seminaries.
Altogether, that's 700.
700 Bible schools and seminaries.
If they sent one man the flame for
God out a year in the last 10
years, that's 700 men with prophetic urgency.
700 men that don't care whether they live
or die.
What's wrong with our preaching?
Our modern preaching has failed to make sin
repulsive and it's failed to make Jesus attractive.
Our gospel has failed.
Come on, in God's name, how do you
think?
I may be quoted this before, but I
quote it often to myself.
In the days of Charles II, Charles II
sent for for John Owen, Dr. John Owen,
the great preacher, the greatest preacher in the
world, and John Owen wore his robes.
He preached before Parliament.
He preached when other people came from other
countries.
Here's John Owen with his golden oratory, his
great exposition of the Scripture, and Charles II
sent for him.
And so Bunyan says, well, no, rather...
What was I talking about?
No, I got mixed up.
Charles II says, Dr. Owen, where hast thou
been?
In his old English.
So he said, well, I've been about your
business partly.
Yes, but he said, Dr. Owen, why dost
thou go here, that babbling Baptist, that tinker?
Have you been listening to Bunyan?
He said, yes, sir, but Bunyan doesn't know
Greek.
He doesn't know Hebrew.
He said, no, he doesn't.
But he said, do you listen to me?
He said, I walked the other day for
five miles to hear him in the rain,
and the building was leaking.
And he said, you listen to me?
He said, sir, I stood and listened to
that tinker talking about the things of God,
and he said, I take off all my
robes and everything I have to preach like
him.
Why?
Oh, come on, God doesn't make men in
a weekend.
John Bunyan spent 15 years in jail.
John Knox used to pray, give me Scotland
or I die, but he spent 12 years
in jail in France before that.
These men had an anointing that somehow we
don't have.
It's got to come back.
I don't want people pointing to some of
you preachers at the judgment seat and saying,
if you cared more for my soul, I
would have been born of the Spirit of
God, but you're so busy doing other things,
you couldn't travel in birth.
I would love to have heard some of
these men praying, praying again in the Holy
Ghost.
No, sirree.
Sodom didn't have a Bible school.
Gomorrah didn't have a seminary.
Sodom and Gomorrah didn't have six million Bibles.
Sodom and Gomorrah didn't have camp meetings.
Sodom and Gomorrah didn't have singing parties going
around.
We live in the most enlightened days, but
wait a minute, darkness is coming.
A fellow wrote a book a couple of
years ago, didn't he, what he called This
Present Darkness.
Many of you read it.
Then he wrote another one after that, Piercing
This Present Darkness.
The first one sold half a million copies
and sold, next one sold, it made him
a millionaire in two years.
I don't care about that.
We're living in the darkest period and we're
going into further darkness.
I told some of the dear fellows here
last year, I'm not a genius, I don't
know much, but I know when God speaks
and God told me in 1988 that 1990,
1992 will be the two darkest years in
American history.
And I said at the end of January,
from in February onward, it is as black
as night.
I can see now because it's going to
be that.
We're planting into it to the nations, but
wait a minute.
Do you know why we're planting in darkness?
This present darkness is a gift from the
church to a dying, doomed, damned world.
What do you mean it's a gift from
the church?
For this reason.
I can remember 80 years ago as a
little kid, I'd take my daddy's hand, we'd
go to the street corner, listen to the
Salvation Army.
They had a marvelous street meeting every week.
I could go to another part of the
city, the Pentecostals were there.
Go to another part of the city, the
Methodists were there.
Go to another part of the city, and
the Baptists were there.
In other words, we had street meetings, but
no serene.
There are no street meetings.
We leave the streets in total darkness.
Then there's a prayer meeting.
It doesn't exist in most churches anymore.
The light has gone out in the sanctuary.
Then there's a Sunday night meeting.
Most churches in America don't have a Sunday
night meeting.
So there's darkness in the street because of
the church.
There's darkness in the prayer meeting because of
the church.
There's darkness in the church because the church
is too lazy to come on Sunday night.
But worst of all, do you know where
the greatest darkness is?
It's in your house, preacher.
I wonder how many of you parents...
I don't care to embarrass you.
I'd love to do it.
How many of you fathers are not spiritual
fathers?
Oh, you're a deacon in the church.
How many of you have family prayers every
day in your home?
It's dark enough in the streets.
It's dark enough in...
You know, soon it'll be...
you'll be able to go to Russia and
find a Bible in church in Russia where
you can't find...
I mean, in school in Russia, you can't
find one in America.
I understand they've just passed a law in
England at least.
Once a week, children must be taught the
Bible.
I'm glad of that.
But it's dark in the schools.
We took the lamps out.
We took ten lights out of every classroom.
The Ten Commandments.
You can run any nation in the world
on the Ten Commandments.
You can run no nation in the world
without them.
Now every...
I'm glad my daddy, good old Methodist, where
you used to pray with us every day
of our lives, even when I got to
20 years of age, I couldn't go to
work in the morning.
Daddy was up first with the Bible and
we prayed and we read.
Thy word is a lamp to my feet
and a light to my path.
So you took ten...
you took the Bible out of school, you
took the lamp out and you turned the
kids out to walk in darkness.
By law, you can't pray in school.
By law, you can't read the Bible.
Well, where are we going?
It's exactly as it was in the days
of Noah.
Noah, no, sorry, Noah didn't have 3,000
radio stations in its day.
I mean, Sodom and Gomorrah didn't have 3
,000 radio stations, which there are in America,
which give at least some little squeak, as
it were, of the Bible or singing gospel
hymns every day.
I'm trying to add up here a minute
and think again how privileged.
You can go almost anywhere and buy a
Bible.
You can turn on the radio and get
the Bible.
You can go to a church somewhere and
find some spiritually minded people.
And yet, by and large, people are exactly
as they were in the days...
What did they do?
For 120 years, they saw a man they
couldn't lay their finger on him morally.
He never did wrong.
He never did a dirty business deal.
He was a righteous man.
People want to accept righteousness.
Dear God, what are we going to do?
Where's that?
Listen to what it says in Ezekiel.
Well, I should have read, let me go
back in that sixth chapter.
Do you know why this man was always
online?
Because he knew that time was running out.
Because it says in the sixth chapter, my
spirit shall not always strive with man.
How much longer is God going to give
us a free country?
How much longer are we going to have
time to read the Word of God?
How much longer are we going to have
time to pray?
My spirit shall not always strive with man.
Therefore, the Holy Ghost was striving with them
then.
About their sin, about their unrighteousness.
But they totally ignored the whole thing.
Yesterday, we've camp meetings.
We've daily vacation Bible schools for children.
And then we have Christian camps for children.
And yet, even when they get to a
teenage, they don't even know the Lord.
You see, the difference in our day, we
have a gospel which is not effective.
I love that great old hymn, not because
it's English.
Rock of Ages, cleft for me, you remember
that hymn?
Let me hide myself in thee.
Do you know what that man said?
He wasn't a holiness preacher.
He said this, be of sin.
The what?
The double cure.
We don't have a double cure message anymore.
The weakness of modern Pentecostalism and Charismatics is,
their stress is on power, not purity.
But Peter remembered on the day of Pentecost,
his heart was purified, he says in Acts
15, 8 and 9.
And listen, you'll not get to heaven because
of anything else except purity.
You can't get there by reason of power
or any other thing.
I was thinking of that word there.
Why is the word in Titus?
Why did Jesus come into the world?
You say, to save sinners and rescue us
from hell.
He didn't say that.
What did he say?
Well, he said in the 17th chapter of
the Acts of the Apostles, I've come into
the world for one reason, that they may
know thee, the only true God.
Lecky, the secular historian admits, when the bloody
revolution swept over France, and they swept the
monarchy into the garbage can, and the bloody
revolution came almost to England.
Lecky, a secular historian said, God stopped that
bloodbath over England because of two men, John
and Charles Wesley.
No sir, John Wesley, Charles Wesley and Whitefield,
were the three men.
But then you find all the time in
the diary of Wesley, he says, I went
to here, I went to Manchester, I went
to Birmingham and I offered men Christ.
We don't offer people Christ.
We offer them forgiveness.
We offer them peace.
We offer them pardon.
But he said, I offered men Christ.
The greatest thing in the world is, you
can say this side of eternity is that
Christ liveth in me.
Let me give you this wonderful little thing
I love from Titus so much.
Paul writing to Titus says, he talks about
men being lovers of themselves again.
But then when you come down to verse,
pardon me, verse 11 and two, I don't
know which one it is.
I can't find the verse.
What verse is it in Titus?
Okay, here we have it.
Teaching us that denying ungodliness and worldly lusts,
we should live soberly, righteously and godly in
this present world, looking for that blessed and
glorious hope, the appearing of our Lord and
Saviour Jesus Christ.
So there, that's what Jesus came to do,
to save us from our sins, that denying
ungodliness and unworldly lusts, we should live soberly,
righteously and godly in this present world, looking
for that blessed hope and the glorious appearing
of our Lord Jesus Christ.
If I asked you tonight, do you believe
Jesus may come soon?
You say, I believe he's coming today, maybe.
Well, listen, I want to tell you something.
If you believe that Jesus Christ may come
today, you're walking in absolute purity.
For when we see him, we should be
like him.
We shan't have half an hour to get
ready.
You won't have half an hour to run
to the telephone and put right some of
the wrong things in your life.
You won't have time to suddenly become righteous.
When we see him, we should be like
him.
So as it was in the day of
Noah, as far as I'm concerned, it's identical
today.
What did they do for 120 years?
They ignored him.
But wait a minute.
Wait a minute before we finish.
What do you think happened the very moment
that the flood came?
You see, Noah built an ark.
He put one light at the top because
there's only one light of the world.
He put one door because there's only one
door by which any man can enter in.
And he put the window up there because
if he looked this way, he'd see all
the bodies and junk and debris floating past.
And they didn't know.
Lord, he wanted you to look on that
corruption.
Okay, so you've got Noah in the ark.
What do you think happened a moment after
when the earth ripped up, when the thunder
came?
He got in that old ark.
It tossed everywhere.
Do you think he was worried?
Of course not.
They had 120 years and they helped him
maybe to carry wood.
But just a minute.
What happened at the end when he was
corralling all the cattle?
Think of all the animals he put.
He didn't get them all in half an
hour.
He built some place to keep them from
wandering away.
He's got animals here and animals there.
What's he doing?
Oh, he says it's coming very urgent.
They didn't care a bit.
They didn't repent.
They didn't say, who is this God?
They just went on their way.
Right until the very moment, it says, until
the day Noah entered into the ark.
They were married and given in marriage.
Nose to the others were buying land and
doing all they wanted to do.
But he isn't amassing a fortune.
He's doing the will of God.
The final thing is, suddenly there was a
thundering.
The skies went black.
People began to say, oh, say, you know,
we'd better get serious about it.
No, sirree, it's too late.
The flood comes, it comes and people are
running.
Somebody said, I'll give you $1,000 for
that horse.
They were riding everything they could and running
away from the flood and it's coming on
them and it goes up and up and
up and up and up.
And Noah went into the ark.
They'd never seen rain.
God watered the earth with dew.
But now he changes his plan and he
waters the earth or he comes and floods
the earth.
Do you think they had a family rebellion?
You say, Noah built the ark, but God
shut the door.
And when God shuts the door, no man
can open it.
When God opens the door, no man can
shut it.
Can you see them all around the ark
screaming?
I don't read that.
I don't read that Noah threw them a
lifeline.
I don't think he began preaching compassion.
He was in the ark and the ark
was ripping and torn.
Do you think he worried a bit?
Not at all.
The first sermon Jesus preached was, come unto
me and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you and learn of
me and I will give you rest.
Noah in that ark was as satisfied and
happy as though there was no storm, as
though no industry had perished.
Every bit of capitalism had perished away.
Every bit of industry had gone.
Every unbeliever was lost.
He didn't stand on a deck and weep
about them.
He preached 120 years.
They ignored his voice.
They ignored his warnings.
They ignored his compassion.
Isn't that what America does now?
Do you think if we really loved God,
we'd have been at a football match this
afternoon?
When this coming week, hundreds and thousands of
men, according to prediction, may be butchered, lying
in desert sand bleeding while their wives at
home are crying and babies that will never
see their daddies.
You can't have God on our timetable.
We've got to follow him.
I thank God for what he's done in
my life.
But I believe like Phinney.
I don't know if you do, but I
do anyhow.
I believe the repeated anointings, the repeating baptisms.
I'll tell you what, I want to go
away at the end of this week different
from when I came.
I have no scales on my eyes as
far as I know.
They couldn't see a thing.
They couldn't hear.
They couldn't understand.
And yet it says God is long-suffering.
How long-suffering has he been with you?
He's been trying to get you into a
channel of prayer.
He's been trying to get you to have
habits of prayer.
Oh, you'll start getting them now because your
cousin's going to battle.
Forget about our sins, our skins.
Let's get down with our sin issues and
deal with that.
I'm glad for what God did in my
life.
But I tell you what, I'm more hungry
for God now than ever in my life.
I'm hungry for the glory of God.
I'm more hungry for the power of God.
I want to see God turn men inside
out this week.
And if he can turn us inside out,
he'll turn the world upside down.
But you're not going to get it at
bargain price.
He'll burn every ambition you have.
He'll burn every bit of covetous out of
you.
He'll burn every bit of fear out of
you.
He'll burn every bit of pride out of
you.
He'll burn every bit of laziness out of
you.
He wants a channel that's cleansed and then
he'll indwell us, anoint us, fill us.
Well, I've got to preach twice this coming
week, so I didn't get hold of my
subject totally tonight.
But I know what God's given me for
the week.
And I'm going to walk very close and
listen to God.
You know, it's so easy to sing, my
Jesus, I love thee, isn't it?
Till it comes to the issue and pouring
out our lives.
There's a brother, I haven't read much of
him.
Is his name Tony Kompola?
I picked up a book of his recently.
It was about two o'clock in the
morning.
It's going on my nightly prowl through the
house.
And I saw the book, I opened it.
It seemed, you know, with no intention of
reading much.
And I just read this.
He said he'd been talking with a friend
of his, a wonderful young American fellow.
And he said he told him of an
experience he had in England.
This man went to live outside of London.
Of course, they all catch the same train
in the morning, the 8.15 or whatever
it is.
And he said he got in the train
further out.
And as it came in, the train stopped
and two smart Englishmen got in.
They were three-piece suits, umbrellas, all the
goods.
And he said the train went for about
10 minutes.
And suddenly one of the men in front
of him slumped in a pile in the
middle of the...
The seats are opposite each other in our
trains.
And the man slipped down there and he
was chewing his tongue.
And the man suddenly got...
The business man ripped his coat off and
folded it up and put it under the
head of the man.
And he stayed with him until the man
got sobered up.
And then he lifted him up bodily and
laid him on the bench seat and kept
fanning him and taking care of him.
He put his finger in his mouth so
he wouldn't choke.
And right to the depot in London, the
man was supervising the poor guy that fell
down.
And just before he got out of the
train, the other man said to him, I've
never seen compassion like that.
He said, are you his brother?
He said, no, I'm not his brother.
He said, we were in the army together
in America and we went to Vietnam.
We were away in the bushes and he
said, the enemy shelled us.
And he said, I got a piece of
shell in my body and I couldn't walk.
And he said, this man was wounded himself,
but he picked me up on his back,
slung me on his back.
And for three days and nights, he carried
me through the bush.
He carried me through swollen streams.
He slipped and slid and slid.
But he said, he struggled with me for
three...
He didn't need to do it.
There was nobody visible, could say I failed
him.
But he said, I'm aware of the fact
that this man was going to die.
And he said, what do you do for
him now?
He said, well, I just heard a few
weeks ago of his condition.
He can't work.
He has three or four or five seasons
a day.
And he said, I can't rest in America.
He said, I sold my house.
I sold my business.
And I've come to England to nurse this
guy till he dies.
It may take him a few years.
It doesn't matter.
He said, when I was a dying man,
bleeding in the bush in a foreign country
with all the mud on me and all
the dirt.
He said, this one man picked me up
and carried me and staggered with me on
his back for three days and three nights.
Can I do any less than give my
life for him if need be?
For the man who gave his life for
me.
I read that and I went to my
room and I really groaned before God.
Lord, do I survey the wondrous cross on
which the Prince of Glory died?
Does he really have every part of me?
You know, this meeting could prepare the way
for what God's going to do during this
coming week.
If you'll humble yourself before God.
Come on, Father.
Why haven't you had prayers in your home
with those little children?
Are they going to grow up pagans?
This blessed book should be opened every day
in your home.
You should read them and counsel them.
Get them to memorize the Word of God.
Time is running out on us.
How much longer is God going to withhold
judgment on America?
I don't know, but it must be very
near.
Again, we've had the greatest preacher in the
world.
We've had Finney in this country.
We had the greatest preacher that ever lived
according to Martin Lloyd-Jones.
We had the fellow that preached sinners in
the hands of an angry God.
You had Gilbert Tennant.
You had the other tenant that worked with
George Whitefield.
This country has more Bibles than any other
country in the world.
This country has more Bible schools.
This country has more...
What's the other thing?
Seminaries.
Every street corner has a church steeple on
it, nearly.
How many Christian magazines do you think there
are?
I guarantee there are a thousand different magazines
published every month in America.
How many million tracts are given out?
Come on, in God's name, aren't you embarrassed?
Or do you say it's him?
Or do you say it's me, O Lord,
standing in the need of prayer?
I have no passion for the lost.
I don't shed tears for my nation.
Well, you don't love it if you don't.
I dare say this, if you don't pray
over a lost nation, you're not even filled
with the Holy Ghost.
If you don't pray with passion, you can't
be filled with the Holy Ghost.
Because we're told to pray in the Holy
Ghost, and that's not necessarily praying in tongues.
It's praying with the wisdom of the Holy
Ghost, with the energy of the Holy Ghost,
with the strength of the Holy Ghost, not
bending under anything, governing this body so it
doesn't make you sleep.
You sleep if you want to, or eat
if you want to.
You're governed by nothing but the indwelling Christ.
If Christ dwells in you, he'll weep over
America like he wept over Jerusalem.
Time is running out.
It's like that today.
Our young people are totally lost.
We're not slackening up in abortion.
We're not lowering our multiplicity in crime.
Come on, the church has lost its salt,
it's lost its savor, it's lost its life.
For Christ's sake, Father, what about you in
the home?
Are you that godly man God wants?
One trouble we've had in America, preachers have
pointed the way.
Now it's time to lead the way.
Lead the way.
Be the father in the home.
Be the priest in your home.
Say, my children are going to perish, and
point to me at the judgment and say
I didn't care, as it was in the
days of Noah.
God didn't give me this message just to
stretch my lungs.
There's an awful hold-off of unbelief.
You know what I read today, and I'm
finished with it in Hebrews.
You know what God did?
The children of Israel put blood over the
door and they escaped judgment, and yet God
says even though they've escaped judgment, I'll destroy
them because of unbelief.
The thing that cripples us in America and
England is unbelief.
We don't believe this blessed book.
We don't believe people go to hell forever
if they don't repent.
We don't believe there's an eternal reward for
us, an eternal crown.
No, I'm not going to sing there's room
at the cross.
I'm going to tell you who you say
I'm humiliated.
I don't love Christ like that.
I fail my family.
I fail my church.
My light doesn't shine.
I say again, I'm not going to sing.
If you can't make up your mind you're
going to live a righteous life and a
holy life by the power of the blood
and the indwelling spirit of God.
Go home.
Did you say no, sir?
I'm going to meet God tonight.
Well, come and humble yourself before God.
Say, I can't go home like this.
I must go home cleansed.
I must go home a pardoned individual.
I must go home with a new anointing.
I must go home with a passion for
the lost.
I must go home to pray.
I've never prayed.
I pray a mantle of prayer will come
on everybody that names the name of Christ
tonight for the next five or six days
and then it will go on from there.
Pray, pray, pray.
I know I've got to preach twice and
I don't want to preach just to say
words.
I want to come boiling over.
I don't care whether I sleep or not.
I'm too old to care whether you like
my preaching or you don't like it.
I have to meet you at the judgment
seat.
It's a terrible hour to live.
It's a wonderful hour to live.
We say, oh, that you would rend the
heavens.
God says, rend your heart.
The seeking is not with God, it's with
us.
Let's agree together now, Lord.
Lord, I pray, break these people.
Oh, God, come and do, start the fire
tonight.
Start the burn, start the burn.
Thanks to God.
Oh, God, make this a terrible week for
the devil.
Oh, God, of course.
Lord, start a fire in hearts that will
take to homes.
That people will start their family altars, family
prayers.
Seek you, Lord, not because judgment may come,
but because there's mercy.
Right now, this is their mercy.
Now is the accepted time.
Let's all pray for these folk who are
here.
And there's room, push up and come and
join us.
You say, I don't know whether I'm saved
or not.
Do you think they knew if they were
in the ark or not?
As soon as they were in the ark,
they had peace.
If you're in the ark, you have peace
with God.
You have peace that passes understanding.
If you're in the ark of safety, you'll
have a compassion for those struggling out in
the darkness.
You just say to God now, break me
and cleanse me.
Transform me by your divine power.
God, I pray you'll just take hold of
hearts here now.
Burn up all selfishness, all pride, all indifference.
Lord, give us a compassion for a dying
world.
Give us a love for our loved ones
who are lost.
Give us a love for our children that
we failed.
Lord, give us a compassion.
We thank you for sparing us.
Lord, you could have cut us off before
this.
You could have cast us into hell.
It would have served us right.
We've been warned so many times.
We've been begged so many times.
We've been hurt so many times.
We've been moved.
But Lord, tonight we bring a broken and
contrite heart.
Grant the precious blood will cleanse and the
spirit will come and occupy.
Lord, give some people a prayer time tonight
they've never had in their lives before.
Let some pillows be wet with tears.
Let some people push aside food to seek
God.
Oh God, come in this emergency hour in
America, the emergency hour in the world.
The tyrants are ruling the world.
Wicked men want to destroy nations.
We ask Father, honor your son.
Lord, I pray set up people from every
unholy thing, every unholy ambition, even their careers
maybe.
Lord, let the utmost parts of the earth
feel this meeting, not just the others in
the week.
Get mysteries out of this meeting.
Lord, get men who will pray in the
Holy Ghost, men who will pray in the
Holy Ghost.
Men who will be totally unhinged from everything
which is unholy and handicapping them tonight.
Break fetters, we pray.
We seek only your glory.
