1
00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:04,140
Do you wonder that he ever, ever had

2
00:00:04,140 --> 00:00:06,040
such a mad consuming passion?

3
00:00:07,860 --> 00:00:11,100
Here is a man, he has a joy

4
00:00:11,100 --> 00:00:14,180
unspeakable, a faith unshakable, and a love that's

5
00:00:14,180 --> 00:00:14,740
unbreakable.

6
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:15,079
Why?

7
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:17,660
I'm told to love God.

8
00:00:17,700 --> 00:00:18,460
I love God.

9
00:00:18,580 --> 00:00:19,960
I love him for what he's done for

10
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:20,080
me.

11
00:00:20,140 --> 00:00:21,300
I love him for what he's doing in

12
00:00:21,300 --> 00:00:21,480
me.

13
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:22,900
I love him for what he is right

14
00:00:22,900 --> 00:00:24,360
now, at the right hand of the Father.

15
00:00:25,100 --> 00:00:27,200
Do you realize that Jesus Christ for 2

16
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:29,280
,000 years has been making intercession?

17
00:00:29,460 --> 00:00:30,080
He doesn't get weary.

18
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:32,980
Dear God, if we woke up tomorrow morning

19
00:00:32,980 --> 00:00:34,700
and Jesus Christ had quit, we'd be a

20
00:00:34,700 --> 00:00:35,000
mess.

21
00:00:35,660 --> 00:00:37,040
We'd go down to perdition.

22
00:00:39,780 --> 00:00:41,640
But I'm telling you, that kind of preaching

23
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:43,500
with such authority will come back.

24
00:00:44,620 --> 00:00:46,560
You never have to advertise a fire.

25
00:00:46,700 --> 00:00:48,600
Preacher, all you need in your church is

26
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:50,960
fire, and you need fire in a pulpit

27
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:52,340
to melt the ice in a pew.

28
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,080
You say, well, my deacons aren't on fire.

29
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:56,060
Why should they on fire?

30
00:00:56,140 --> 00:00:56,980
You're not on fire.

31
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:00,520
The people don't catch fire like that.

32
00:01:01,340 --> 00:01:03,560
I say again, you can't pray without the

33
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:05,500
anointing of the Holy Spirit of God.

34
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,760
And when you hear men pray in the

35
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:10,400
anointing of the Spirit, some of the most

36
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,500
amazing things that happened over a year ago,

37
00:01:13,220 --> 00:01:15,420
three weeks before we had the meetings here,

38
00:01:15,500 --> 00:01:16,680
we had three weeks of prayer.

39
00:01:16,780 --> 00:01:18,440
I can't forget some of those prayers.

40
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:20,180
Some of the women that seemed to be

41
00:01:20,180 --> 00:01:23,140
traveling, and the Holy Spirit of God came,

42
00:01:23,140 --> 00:01:24,300
and miracles were done.

43
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,900
Not because somebody preached a clever sermon, but

44
00:01:28,900 --> 00:01:31,280
because there was a spirit of intercession.

45
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,100
People had given birth in the Spirit.

46
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,280
So then you have the amazing miracle.

47
00:01:40,060 --> 00:01:41,620
You see, dear friend, I want to tell

48
00:01:41,620 --> 00:01:42,600
you right here.

49
00:01:44,460 --> 00:01:47,700
I read to you from 2 Peter 1

50
00:01:47,700 --> 00:01:48,540
and verse 21.

51
00:01:49,140 --> 00:01:51,060
Prophecy came not at all time by the

52
00:01:51,060 --> 00:01:51,580
will of man.

53
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,720
Men of God spake as they were moved

54
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:56,340
by the Holy Ghost.

55
00:01:57,260 --> 00:02:00,060
Is there anything more wonderful than the moving

56
00:02:00,060 --> 00:02:01,080
of the Spirit of God?

57
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:06,300
Then in the first epistle of Peter, let

58
00:02:06,300 --> 00:02:08,080
me read this to you.

59
00:02:08,940 --> 00:02:13,580
In chapter 2 and verses 11 and 12.

60
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:15,640
Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and

61
00:02:15,640 --> 00:02:19,080
pilgrims in the earth, abstain from fleshly lusts

62
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:20,980
that war against the soul, and having your

63
00:02:20,980 --> 00:02:24,760
conversation honest among the Gentiles, whereas they speak

64
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,620
against you as evildoers, by your good works

65
00:02:27,620 --> 00:02:29,780
they may glorify your God.

66
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:34,420
And then it goes on to say, we

67
00:02:34,420 --> 00:02:37,640
preach with the Holy Ghost sent down from

68
00:02:37,640 --> 00:02:37,860
heaven.

69
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:38,980
There is no other preaching.

70
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,060
We may have logic that's on fire and

71
00:02:42,060 --> 00:02:45,300
rhetoric, but the indwelling Spirit of God brings

72
00:02:45,300 --> 00:02:47,380
to life the Word of the living God.

73
00:02:48,900 --> 00:02:50,320
So Jesus Christ.

74
00:02:54,220 --> 00:02:57,260
Preaching, I believe real Holy Ghost preaching is

75
00:02:57,260 --> 00:02:59,620
the most fascinating thing in the world.

76
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,160
A few years ago in England, as I

77
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:05,780
mentioned, we had a whole string of wonderful

78
00:03:05,780 --> 00:03:06,380
preachers.

79
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,080
One of them was Dr. Parker in London.

80
00:03:10,860 --> 00:03:12,260
Another one was up in the middle of

81
00:03:12,260 --> 00:03:14,560
the country, Dr. J.

82
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:14,780
H.

83
00:03:14,980 --> 00:03:15,220
Jowett.

84
00:03:15,660 --> 00:03:17,640
And Jowett said when he wanted to have

85
00:03:17,640 --> 00:03:20,640
a weekend off, he took the train to

86
00:03:20,640 --> 00:03:23,860
London and he listened to Dr. Parker.

87
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:30,200
And one day Parker was, it was Easter

88
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,820
and he was speaking on the death of

89
00:03:32,820 --> 00:03:33,500
Jesus Christ.

90
00:03:34,180 --> 00:03:35,980
And maybe I've quoted this before, and he

91
00:03:35,980 --> 00:03:37,340
got Jesus buried.

92
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:39,560
He put a stone over the grave.

93
00:03:39,660 --> 00:03:41,060
Then he put wax over the stone.

94
00:03:41,140 --> 00:03:42,540
Then he put seals over the wax.

95
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,280
And then he put 14 soldiers to guard

96
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:45,460
it.

97
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:47,660
And the devil said, now we're going to

98
00:03:47,660 --> 00:03:50,320
keep Jesus Christ because Jesus must do more.

99
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,240
We must die for our sins, rise for

100
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,220
our justification, and ascend into the Father to

101
00:03:55,220 --> 00:03:55,920
make a decision.

102
00:03:56,820 --> 00:03:58,820
And every demon in hell put his shoulder

103
00:03:58,820 --> 00:03:59,860
against that stone.

104
00:04:00,660 --> 00:04:01,620
And it looks as though I was going

105
00:04:01,620 --> 00:04:02,380
to be trapped there.

106
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:04,880
But what does the Word of God say?

107
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:06,940
The Word of God says the Holy Spirit

108
00:04:06,940 --> 00:04:07,400
came.

109
00:04:08,220 --> 00:04:10,200
Remember the weight of the sin of the

110
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:11,760
world is on that stone.

111
00:04:12,900 --> 00:04:15,019
Jesus Christ was kept trapped there.

112
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,180
And yet it says in Romans 8, the

113
00:04:19,180 --> 00:04:21,680
Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from

114
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:22,220
the dead.

115
00:04:22,780 --> 00:04:25,820
So Jesus conceived by the Holy Ghost, and

116
00:04:25,820 --> 00:04:29,700
Jesus also was raised by the Holy Ghost.

117
00:04:30,500 --> 00:04:32,420
He was raised by the Father because on

118
00:04:32,420 --> 00:04:34,420
the day of Pentecost, Peter said, him hath

119
00:04:34,420 --> 00:04:35,380
God raised up.

120
00:04:35,380 --> 00:04:36,900
He was raised by Jesus.

121
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:38,160
No man took his life.

122
00:04:38,260 --> 00:04:40,020
He said, no man takes my life from

123
00:04:40,020 --> 00:04:40,180
me.

124
00:04:40,260 --> 00:04:40,860
I lay it down.

125
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:41,840
I'll take it up again.

126
00:04:42,260 --> 00:04:44,100
So the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost,

127
00:04:44,220 --> 00:04:46,140
the measureless power of God was there.

128
00:04:46,780 --> 00:04:48,940
We've got to tap into that power again

129
00:04:48,940 --> 00:04:50,000
for our generation.

130
00:04:51,180 --> 00:04:53,200
All people say you go to church to

131
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:54,380
see things, you go to hear.

132
00:04:55,060 --> 00:04:56,220
That's not what they said on the day

133
00:04:56,220 --> 00:04:56,960
of Pentecost.

134
00:04:58,100 --> 00:04:59,380
What did Peter say right after?

135
00:04:59,500 --> 00:05:02,020
These things which ye see and hear, they

136
00:05:02,020 --> 00:05:02,680
saw them.

137
00:05:03,580 --> 00:05:05,960
I don't believe we're going to conquer Islam.

138
00:05:06,220 --> 00:05:10,360
It's an astounding and appalling thing to me

139
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,540
that 2,000 years after Jesus Christ came,

140
00:05:13,980 --> 00:05:15,900
there's never been a revival in a country

141
00:05:15,900 --> 00:05:16,480
with Islam.

142
00:05:16,900 --> 00:05:18,940
There's never been a revival, a true revival

143
00:05:18,940 --> 00:05:19,420
in Japan.

144
00:05:19,660 --> 00:05:20,540
China's had a number.

145
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:22,600
But we're going to have to get a

146
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,380
new anointing of the Spirit of God for

147
00:05:24,380 --> 00:05:26,740
this last great push before Jesus comes.

148
00:05:26,740 --> 00:05:29,340
The barricades of hell are going to fight

149
00:05:29,340 --> 00:05:32,580
against us, but they won't prevail if we're

150
00:05:32,580 --> 00:05:35,320
indwelt by the Holy Spirit of God.

151
00:05:36,140 --> 00:05:38,200
Let me show you how important this is.

152
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,140
I have a saying of my own.

153
00:05:42,820 --> 00:05:45,180
A man who is intimate with God will

154
00:05:45,180 --> 00:05:47,140
never be intimidated by men.

155
00:05:47,740 --> 00:05:49,900
One of the classical examples is a story

156
00:05:49,900 --> 00:05:52,620
you heard in Sunday school, I'm sure, the

157
00:05:52,620 --> 00:05:53,560
story of Samson.

158
00:05:54,180 --> 00:05:56,360
I see three pictures in that story.

159
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,120
One is the story of Samson himself.

160
00:05:58,780 --> 00:06:02,820
The other is a picture of Israel, a

161
00:06:02,820 --> 00:06:06,920
picture of that nation, because Israel started with

162
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:08,800
a miraculous and then has lost its power.

163
00:06:08,900 --> 00:06:09,960
It will be restored again.

164
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,040
You have the picture of Samson himself doing

165
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:13,680
exploits.

166
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,340
Every time the man moves, something happens.

167
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,040
Listen to what an ungodly woman says to

168
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:21,320
him.

169
00:06:21,860 --> 00:06:23,980
Here's a man who lifts gates, pulls down

170
00:06:23,980 --> 00:06:27,140
strong holes, a man who can go and

171
00:06:27,140 --> 00:06:28,600
take hold of a lion and tear it

172
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:28,960
apart.

173
00:06:29,060 --> 00:06:30,440
It's a type of the devil, and he's

174
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:31,100
a conqueror.

175
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,540
And this woman says, tell me where in

176
00:06:33,540 --> 00:06:35,580
the secret of thy great strength lieth.

177
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:37,540
He knew it was abnormal.

178
00:06:37,940 --> 00:06:39,140
She knew it was abnormal.

179
00:06:39,380 --> 00:06:40,620
The world knew it was abnormal.

180
00:06:40,780 --> 00:06:42,760
Does the church, does anybody think the church

181
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:43,620
is abnormal today?

182
00:06:43,740 --> 00:06:46,980
The curse of our present Christianity is mediocrity.

183
00:06:48,380 --> 00:06:50,600
If you've been in one Pentecostal church, you've

184
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:51,380
been in all of them.

185
00:06:52,020 --> 00:06:53,420
Maybe that's true of the vineyard, I don't

186
00:06:53,420 --> 00:06:53,660
know.

187
00:06:54,340 --> 00:06:55,520
When you've been in one, you've been in

188
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:55,920
them all.

189
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,240
Again, I say, in the New Testament, they

190
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,360
didn't have the equipment.

191
00:07:04,260 --> 00:07:05,440
They had the endowment.

192
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:07,780
Men were aflame.

193
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,600
When the Holy Spirit of God came, what

194
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:12,120
did they do?

195
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:13,600
They went immediately to prison.

196
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,280
Isn't it amazing that Jesus Christ, the Son

197
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,480
of God, never ministered until the Holy Ghost

198
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:19,440
came upon him?

199
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,120
Well, how in God's name dare you do

200
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:22,520
that?

201
00:07:25,270 --> 00:07:27,450
It says holy men were moved by the

202
00:07:27,450 --> 00:07:28,190
Holy Ghost.

203
00:07:28,810 --> 00:07:30,030
Come on preacher, be honest.

204
00:07:30,970 --> 00:07:33,050
Do you feel your bowels of compassion have

205
00:07:33,050 --> 00:07:33,410
moved?

206
00:07:34,770 --> 00:07:36,570
Doesn't Paul say in one of his letters,

207
00:07:37,730 --> 00:07:39,310
I've forgotten where it is for the moment,

208
00:07:40,930 --> 00:07:48,780
but he says, I forget the exact reference,

209
00:07:51,460 --> 00:07:53,000
but he says, where is it?

210
00:07:53,060 --> 00:07:53,860
Some of you fellows know.

211
00:07:54,700 --> 00:07:56,240
Has the elect of God put on the

212
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:57,320
bowels of compassion?

213
00:07:58,220 --> 00:07:59,300
We don't think of that.

214
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,400
Do you know, this may sound silly to

215
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:02,440
you, but listen, it's true.

216
00:08:03,180 --> 00:08:05,000
The one trouble with the church today has

217
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:06,660
got spiritual constipation.

218
00:08:06,780 --> 00:08:08,040
Its bowels are not moved.

219
00:08:15,140 --> 00:08:17,840
Listen to the cry of one of the

220
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:19,080
greatest men that ever lived.

221
00:08:19,860 --> 00:08:22,040
A prophet moved by the Holy Ghost.

222
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,200
Prophets could see what nobody else could see.

223
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:28,620
That's why they were called seers.

224
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,299
They couldn't understand the blindness of the people.

225
00:08:31,780 --> 00:08:33,679
The people are blind and couldn't understand the

226
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:34,299
sight of the man.

227
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:35,860
But what does the man of God care

228
00:08:35,860 --> 00:08:37,840
when he has the anointing of the Spirit

229
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:38,240
of God?

230
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:39,200
Listen to this man.

231
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:44,240
You know what he says in his prophecy?

232
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,140
Oh, that my head were waters, my eyes

233
00:08:47,140 --> 00:08:47,380
of...

234
00:08:47,380 --> 00:08:48,940
Did you ever pray that preacher?

235
00:08:49,660 --> 00:08:51,340
Did you ever pray for brokenness?

236
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:53,340
Did you ever pray for the bowels of

237
00:08:53,340 --> 00:08:54,880
your compassion to be moved?

238
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:57,300
Listen to what he says.

239
00:09:00,900 --> 00:09:05,940
In Lamentations chapter 2 and verse 10 he

240
00:09:05,940 --> 00:09:08,700
says, the elders of the daughter of Zion

241
00:09:08,700 --> 00:09:11,300
sit upon the ground and keep silence through

242
00:09:11,300 --> 00:09:13,580
dust upon their heads.

243
00:09:13,900 --> 00:09:16,000
He says, mine eyes are full of tears,

244
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,580
my bowels are troubled, my liver is poured

245
00:09:18,580 --> 00:09:21,040
out on the earth because of the sin

246
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:21,860
of my people.

247
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,320
Then it says in the next chapter, the

248
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,200
prophet says of God, he has turned aside

249
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,520
my ways and pulled me in pieces.

250
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:33,960
The man God pulled in pieces.

251
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:36,600
Oh yes God, I want you to clothe

252
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,560
me with power but don't strip me first.

253
00:09:38,940 --> 00:09:40,540
I want to be filled but don't empty

254
00:09:40,540 --> 00:09:40,800
me.

255
00:09:41,380 --> 00:09:43,000
I mean don't take away what I've got.

256
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:44,360
Just add something else to it.

257
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:45,180
God says no.

258
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,120
I'm going to make you a new creation.

259
00:09:47,300 --> 00:09:49,040
Lose your confidence in your eloquence.

260
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,140
Lose your confidence in your ability to be

261
00:09:51,140 --> 00:09:52,000
a smart preacher.

262
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,220
I'm going to start and recreate and make

263
00:09:55,220 --> 00:09:56,460
you a new man and give you a

264
00:09:56,460 --> 00:09:58,240
new authority and give you new power but

265
00:09:58,240 --> 00:09:59,040
it's very hard.

266
00:09:59,160 --> 00:09:59,800
It's very difficult.

267
00:10:00,620 --> 00:10:01,840
People will not understand.

268
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:05,320
Go back a minute to Samson.

269
00:10:06,680 --> 00:10:08,500
The woman found his secret.

270
00:10:10,680 --> 00:10:13,340
Every time the man moves out he destroys

271
00:10:13,340 --> 00:10:14,440
the power of the enemy.

272
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:16,460
So finally what did they do?

273
00:10:16,540 --> 00:10:18,800
They blind him and then they bind him

274
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:20,280
and then they put him in a prison

275
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,880
and they put huge brass chains on him

276
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:27,500
and then the enemies of God laugh.

277
00:10:27,620 --> 00:10:31,040
They laugh and rejoice and say Samson, easy

278
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:31,500
easy.

279
00:10:32,940 --> 00:10:34,740
We've got the chief man that they had

280
00:10:34,740 --> 00:10:36,520
in Israel and we'll do as we like

281
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,620
with him and there he's helpless.

282
00:10:38,820 --> 00:10:40,320
He's a blind man feeling about.

283
00:10:40,740 --> 00:10:42,520
People come and see him as a tourist

284
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,760
attraction and here is a poor man who

285
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:47,580
at one time could take the jawbone of

286
00:10:47,580 --> 00:10:49,320
an ass and slay the choice men of

287
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:49,980
another army.

288
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:52,080
Here's the man who could take all of

289
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,040
a lion and tear it in pieces because

290
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,400
of his supernatural power and now there he

291
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:58,140
is bound.

292
00:10:59,060 --> 00:11:00,960
He's in a prison and the walls weren't

293
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,300
made of what do you call the stuff

294
00:11:03,300 --> 00:11:04,380
you put on walls these days?

295
00:11:04,860 --> 00:11:05,340
Rock?

296
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:08,100
What do you call it?

297
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:09,600
Oh sheet rock.

298
00:11:11,420 --> 00:11:13,040
The walls were made of sheet rock.

299
00:11:13,100 --> 00:11:13,940
They were solid rock.

300
00:11:14,860 --> 00:11:18,180
People are laughing at him and he's agitated.

301
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,560
He's saying my God at one time I

302
00:11:20,560 --> 00:11:21,420
could slay a lion.

303
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,700
I could kill 2,000 men in the

304
00:11:23,700 --> 00:11:24,500
power of the spirit.

305
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:24,760
Why?

306
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:30,020
Because you repeat constantly the spirit of the

307
00:11:30,020 --> 00:11:30,920
Lord was upon him.

308
00:11:31,060 --> 00:11:32,580
So here he is in prison.

309
00:11:33,220 --> 00:11:34,860
He's big heavy chains on him.

310
00:11:35,780 --> 00:11:37,460
He's not done any mighty works for a

311
00:11:37,460 --> 00:11:39,340
long while and people are mocking and laughing

312
00:11:39,340 --> 00:11:39,920
at him.

313
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,380
There's no more disastrous thing to me than

314
00:11:43,380 --> 00:11:45,080
a man who once had the anointing of

315
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:45,460
God.

316
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,120
I remember preaching in Australia and the pastor

317
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:49,440
said to me you see the man on

318
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:50,340
the right of the bag?

319
00:11:50,780 --> 00:11:52,540
That man used to get tents full of

320
00:11:52,540 --> 00:11:56,140
20 and 30,000 people and every apostolic

321
00:11:56,140 --> 00:11:59,220
anointing was upon him but now he's away

322
00:11:59,220 --> 00:11:59,800
from God.

323
00:11:59,900 --> 00:12:02,120
He never comes except for a special meeting

324
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,020
and the devil really loves it that thing.

325
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:06,900
Let's look a moment here.

326
00:12:07,340 --> 00:12:09,440
Here is a man tied with big fetters

327
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,160
fastened to the wall.

328
00:12:11,820 --> 00:12:12,840
He's lost his eyesight.

329
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:14,520
He's lost his freedom.

330
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:16,440
He's lost his friends.

331
00:12:16,560 --> 00:12:19,340
He's lost everything and he prays.

332
00:12:20,100 --> 00:12:20,880
What does he say?

333
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:23,360
Lord just open my eyes and let me

334
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:24,860
go see my relatives once.

335
00:12:25,180 --> 00:12:25,860
No sirree.

336
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:27,420
What does he say?

337
00:12:28,100 --> 00:12:29,680
Please let me get out of this stuffy

338
00:12:29,680 --> 00:12:30,580
dirty old prison.

339
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,460
Let me get out of winding this thing

340
00:12:33,460 --> 00:12:35,240
round and round day by day and making

341
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:35,440
weed.

342
00:12:35,500 --> 00:12:36,320
He doesn't say that.

343
00:12:37,140 --> 00:12:38,540
He prays an awesome prayer.

344
00:12:38,660 --> 00:12:41,340
Listen he says Lord strengthen me this once

345
00:12:41,340 --> 00:12:43,580
and he meant business with God.

346
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:43,900
Why?

347
00:12:43,980 --> 00:12:45,200
Because he said even die.

348
00:12:46,940 --> 00:12:48,080
Even if I die.

349
00:12:50,500 --> 00:12:52,160
Brother when you get as desperate as that

350
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:53,720
you'll leave your bondage behind.

351
00:12:53,860 --> 00:12:55,080
You'll leave your failure behind.

352
00:12:55,260 --> 00:12:56,620
You'll leave your blindness behind.

353
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,040
He didn't say Lord give me eyesight.

354
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:00,000
Give me freedom.

355
00:13:00,140 --> 00:13:00,740
Give me friends.

356
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:02,720
He said give me one more anointing of

357
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:03,980
the spirit and God did it.

358
00:13:04,620 --> 00:13:05,300
And what happened?

359
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,260
He pulled the house down and he destroyed

360
00:13:07,260 --> 00:13:08,580
himself with the people.

361
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,300
But the word of God says he killed

362
00:13:11,300 --> 00:13:13,240
more in his dying than in his leaving.

363
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:14,280
Living.

364
00:13:14,700 --> 00:13:16,740
There's going to be a supernatural moving of

365
00:13:16,740 --> 00:13:17,720
the spirit of God.

366
00:13:17,980 --> 00:13:19,800
Just as we left home in Texas the

367
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,520
other day my businessman called me from Florida.

368
00:13:23,380 --> 00:13:24,280
What are you doing next?

369
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:25,500
We told him where we're coming and he

370
00:13:25,500 --> 00:13:27,780
says Len I heard you say years ago

371
00:13:27,780 --> 00:13:30,340
that before this age closes God is going

372
00:13:30,340 --> 00:13:31,840
to give us a Pentecost that will allow

373
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:33,020
Pentecost Pentecost.

374
00:13:33,140 --> 00:13:34,160
I hope you have it this week.

375
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:34,820
So do I.

376
00:13:36,220 --> 00:13:38,220
I invite the whole world to say that

377
00:13:38,220 --> 00:13:42,480
this will one week in Anaheim produce more

378
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:46,660
prophets, produce more prayer meetings, produce more people

379
00:13:46,660 --> 00:13:50,800
with visuals with eyesight that's anointed by God.

380
00:13:51,620 --> 00:13:53,180
I was in a meeting a while ago

381
00:13:53,180 --> 00:13:55,480
with my dear wife with the messianic Jews.

382
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:57,600
They all prayed after the meeting.

383
00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:58,880
I'll never forget one young man.

384
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,080
He had a lovely beard and he stretched

385
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:01,960
his hands to him.

386
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,940
He said oh God, God please show me

387
00:14:04,940 --> 00:14:05,800
what I can buy.

388
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:07,980
I saw that I may see.

389
00:14:08,620 --> 00:14:09,800
Didn't it say that in the book of

390
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:10,380
the Revelation?

391
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,660
There's an eyesight that God has and he

392
00:14:13,660 --> 00:14:14,800
said I want to buy it.

393
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,380
You say you can't buy anything from God.

394
00:14:17,460 --> 00:14:18,320
Well that's what he said.

395
00:14:19,260 --> 00:14:20,540
I want to buy white raiment.

396
00:14:20,700 --> 00:14:22,140
I want to buy eyesight that I may

397
00:14:22,140 --> 00:14:22,500
see.

398
00:14:23,220 --> 00:14:25,140
I'll never forget that prayer meeting, the moving

399
00:14:25,140 --> 00:14:26,420
of the spirit of God on it.

400
00:14:27,220 --> 00:14:29,420
But Samson says look I'm prepared to die

401
00:14:29,420 --> 00:14:30,120
if need be.

402
00:14:31,340 --> 00:14:33,080
Let me show you how important this is

403
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:34,040
I wound this up.

404
00:14:38,140 --> 00:14:44,440
Remember the disciples received the Holy Spirit before

405
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:45,120
Pentecost.

406
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:47,260
They were waiting in the upper room and

407
00:14:47,260 --> 00:14:49,380
what Jesus came and he breathed on them

408
00:14:49,380 --> 00:14:53,240
and said receive ye the Holy Ghost.

409
00:14:54,500 --> 00:15:00,540
But that wasn't the end of it was

410
00:15:00,540 --> 00:15:00,700
it?

411
00:15:04,460 --> 00:15:06,100
Let me read this quickly as I finish.

412
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:08,600
At the end of the gospel according to

413
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:12,220
Luke it says this, that he said to

414
00:15:12,220 --> 00:15:14,120
these men and remember these men had seen

415
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:15,760
the most amazing thing in the world.

416
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,200
They'd seen Jesus risen from the dead.

417
00:15:19,100 --> 00:15:22,820
Dear God, do you know I don't believe

418
00:15:22,820 --> 00:15:24,140
there's a devil in hell.

419
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:26,780
I don't believe there's a system on earth,

420
00:15:26,900 --> 00:15:29,320
political or otherwise, that can hinder the return

421
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:30,160
of Jesus Christ.

422
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:32,820
The one thing that hinders Jesus Christ coming

423
00:15:32,820 --> 00:15:34,420
is the bride is not ready.

424
00:15:35,020 --> 00:15:36,680
The church is too impure.

425
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:38,040
The church is too carnal.

426
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:40,580
Oh people say I'm carnal.

427
00:15:41,060 --> 00:15:42,700
You can't be a carnal Christian.

428
00:15:43,460 --> 00:15:45,160
Oh there's a teaching that I'm a carnal

429
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:45,560
Christian.

430
00:15:45,700 --> 00:15:48,280
You can't be because Romans 8 says what?

431
00:15:48,340 --> 00:15:49,880
To be carnally minded is death.

432
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:51,360
You can't be dead and alive at the

433
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:52,040
same time.

434
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,520
We want to hide and make excuse for

435
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,420
our failure and our weakness and God won't

436
00:15:57,420 --> 00:15:57,980
have that.

437
00:15:58,460 --> 00:15:59,940
Okay let me read this quick.

438
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:03,600
Jesus said you're witnesses of these things and

439
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,660
I send the promise of my father unto

440
00:16:05,660 --> 00:16:07,700
you but tarry in the city of Jerusalem

441
00:16:07,700 --> 00:16:10,460
until he be endured with power on high

442
00:16:10,460 --> 00:16:12,380
and he led them out as far as

443
00:16:12,380 --> 00:16:14,060
Bethany and lift up his hands and bless

444
00:16:14,060 --> 00:16:16,260
them and he came to pass while he

445
00:16:16,260 --> 00:16:17,940
blessed them he was parted from them carried

446
00:16:17,940 --> 00:16:18,540
him up into heaven.

447
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,560
The point is this, he'd already breathed on

448
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:21,760
them.

449
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,800
They'd already done miracles before that and now

450
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:26,700
he breathes on them.

451
00:16:27,020 --> 00:16:29,240
They've seen the Christ risen from the dead.

452
00:16:29,300 --> 00:16:31,300
It should have shattered their unbelief and their

453
00:16:31,300 --> 00:16:34,060
doubt and they were about to witness the

454
00:16:34,060 --> 00:16:36,740
second greatest miracle and not everybody saw only

455
00:16:36,740 --> 00:16:37,660
a few saw it.

456
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,160
That was the ascension of Jesus into heaven

457
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,020
and even though they'd witnessed the resurrection and

458
00:16:43,020 --> 00:16:44,720
though they'd witnessed the ascension they were not

459
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:45,480
ready to go.

460
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,200
Jesus says go but tarry till be endured

461
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:49,660
with power from on high.

462
00:16:50,900 --> 00:16:53,960
Let me finally close this.

463
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:58,920
Paul writes in his letter to the Colossians

464
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,700
because you see when you've summed it all

465
00:17:01,700 --> 00:17:03,619
up with all your theology and all your

466
00:17:03,619 --> 00:17:05,460
reasoning and all your church history and all

467
00:17:05,460 --> 00:17:07,660
your bible there are only two kinds of

468
00:17:07,660 --> 00:17:09,359
people in this world not the rich and

469
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:10,839
the poor not the black and the white

470
00:17:10,839 --> 00:17:13,660
but those who are dead in sin and

471
00:17:13,660 --> 00:17:15,300
those who are dead to sin.

472
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,040
That's what it says in Colossians.

473
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,180
It says in verse in chapter 2 and

474
00:17:23,180 --> 00:17:26,819
verse 13 you being dead in your sins

475
00:17:26,819 --> 00:17:29,980
and uncircumcised to the flesh he has forgiven

476
00:17:29,980 --> 00:17:33,160
you all your trespasses therefore in verse 20

477
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,840
says if you be dead with Christ and

478
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,480
risen from the rudiments of world while you're

479
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:42,920
living in the world at subject ordinances then

480
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,260
he says in chapter 3 and verse 1

481
00:17:45,260 --> 00:17:47,200
if you then be risen with Christ seek

482
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,540
those things which are above and then he

483
00:17:50,540 --> 00:17:53,680
says listen to him Paul says to these

484
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,840
believers you are dead and your life is

485
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,100
hid with Christ in God.

486
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:00,720
That's Christianity.

487
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,440
He goes on to say Christ in you

488
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:05,580
the hope of glory.

489
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,220
There was a great critic in England years

490
00:18:09,220 --> 00:18:12,580
ago by the name of John uh what's

491
00:18:12,580 --> 00:18:15,140
his name I can't my wife will remember

492
00:18:15,140 --> 00:18:19,760
oh John Ruskin and that he he said

493
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:23,360
of Christianity or of preaching preaching is 30

494
00:18:23,360 --> 00:18:24,600
minutes to raise the dead.

495
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,040
I thought that was a joke until I

496
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,400
realized I look at you there's row after

497
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,760
row of dead people here dead in trespasses

498
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,320
and in sin we're dead in sin so

499
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,280
with no relationship to God or we're dead

500
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,900
to sin it no longer fascinates us it

501
00:18:39,900 --> 00:18:43,760
no longer traps us it no longer has

502
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,600
power over us it doesn't have dominion over

503
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:50,580
us Paul himself again with bloody hands on

504
00:18:50,580 --> 00:18:53,440
the Damascus road breathing out threatenings he hated

505
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,080
Christ wasn't it Christ who said of the

506
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,820
pharisees you white it sepulchres you'll go to

507
00:18:58,820 --> 00:19:01,400
hell wasn't it John the Baptist who said

508
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:04,700
you're a bunch of serpents there were no

509
00:19:04,700 --> 00:19:06,960
flattering words from the Lord Jesus about these

510
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:11,040
people and that just did something in the

511
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,440
heart of the apostle he he said like

512
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,900
Herod was going to destroy the infant Christ

513
00:19:15,900 --> 00:19:17,880
he would destroy the infant church but God

514
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:22,140
intercepted him then what happened he says there

515
00:19:22,140 --> 00:19:26,020
came a time when Christ revealed himself to

516
00:19:26,020 --> 00:19:29,380
me and later he says he revealed himself

517
00:19:29,380 --> 00:19:32,580
in me how did it happen I find

518
00:19:32,580 --> 00:19:37,620
him with one word finishing Galatians 5 where

519
00:19:37,620 --> 00:19:41,140
Paul says so beautifully God forbid he doesn't

520
00:19:41,140 --> 00:19:43,040
use that phrase often but he says God

521
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,340
forbid that I should glory save in the

522
00:19:45,340 --> 00:19:47,380
cross of the Lord Jesus Christ by which

523
00:19:47,380 --> 00:19:49,620
the world is crucified to me and I'm

524
00:19:49,620 --> 00:19:54,560
crucified to the world is that true forbid

525
00:19:57,660 --> 00:20:00,760
it Lord that I should boast save in

526
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,760
the death of Christ my Lord said Isaac

527
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,920
Watson in his most popular hymn all the

528
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,320
vain things that charm me most I sacrifice

529
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,740
them to his blood Paul says the world

530
00:20:12,740 --> 00:20:15,060
is crucified to me and I'm crucified to

531
00:20:15,060 --> 00:20:17,440
the world you see I remember once hearing

532
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,320
I almost mentioned name of one of England's

533
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,500
greatest preachers he gave a marvelous marvelous message

534
00:20:22,500 --> 00:20:24,920
on holiness how God can lift us out

535
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,480
of corruption and depravity take our walked thinking

536
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:33,260
taking out antagonism against holiness and change us

537
00:20:33,260 --> 00:20:36,160
until we love the holy things until we

538
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,560
worship God until we obey the commandment love

539
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:40,200
the Lord thy God with all thy heart

540
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,500
soul mind and strength and then when he

541
00:20:42,500 --> 00:20:44,820
he raised his hand I remember and he

542
00:20:44,820 --> 00:20:48,440
said listen I'm not preaching sinless perfection remember

543
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,520
the apostle Paul the greatest man that ever

544
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,500
lived after Christ finished up in Romans 7

545
00:20:53,500 --> 00:20:56,700
saying it's not I but sin that dwelleth

546
00:20:56,700 --> 00:20:58,760
that's a lie he didn't do that he

547
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:00,860
said it then as a non-regenerate man

548
00:21:00,860 --> 00:21:03,780
I believe Paul did not finish in Romans

549
00:21:03,780 --> 00:21:07,580
chapter 7 he finished in Galatians 2 20

550
00:21:07,580 --> 00:21:10,060
it is not I but Christ liveth in

551
00:21:10,060 --> 00:21:12,040
me you can't have the indwelling Christ and

552
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:16,620
the indwelling evil and the indwelling Christ how

553
00:21:16,620 --> 00:21:18,980
it happened because it said he realized in

554
00:21:18,980 --> 00:21:22,180
Romans 6 he was really crucified when Christ

555
00:21:22,180 --> 00:21:24,940
died I died with him all my sins

556
00:21:24,940 --> 00:21:27,640
died if I believe but then look at

557
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:29,580
the figure for a minute at the end

558
00:21:29,580 --> 00:21:31,680
of Romans 7 he says all wretched man

559
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,200
who should deliver me Paul knew more about

560
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,660
the uh the Old Testament than any man

561
00:21:36,660 --> 00:21:38,560
that lived he could recite old books of

562
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:42,720
it the law could condemn of sin but

563
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,440
he couldn't cleanse from sin so he cries

564
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:47,160
all wretched man that I am what do

565
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:51,500
you say keep struggling with carnality you can't

566
00:21:51,500 --> 00:21:53,160
live pure in this life what do you

567
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:54,860
do with these young people that keep saying

568
00:21:54,860 --> 00:21:56,060
I want to be pure what do you

569
00:21:56,060 --> 00:21:57,920
do send them to Mohammed a Buddha a

570
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:01,280
Confucius are you telling me that Jesus Christ

571
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,920
did not do more than forgive our sins

572
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:05,560
and he dealt with a problem of sin

573
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,120
didn't John the Baptist hollered out till all

574
00:22:08,120 --> 00:22:10,400
hell trembled behold the Lamb of God that

575
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,280
taketh away the sin of the world okay

576
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:16,580
one man committed sin and it polluted all

577
00:22:16,580 --> 00:22:19,340
human nature that's an amazing thing that the

578
00:22:19,340 --> 00:22:21,140
whole world is rotten and full of jails

579
00:22:21,140 --> 00:22:23,780
and because of one man the one man's

580
00:22:23,780 --> 00:22:29,020
obedience the awesome thing in eternity to me

581
00:22:29,020 --> 00:22:31,540
will be when it's revealed to us how

582
00:22:31,540 --> 00:22:33,980
Jesus Christ took all our sins and millions

583
00:22:33,980 --> 00:22:39,040
of sins and by his one sacrifice he

584
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,440
was able to bring forgiveness but not only

585
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:44,340
that it doesn't even top play this thing

586
00:22:44,340 --> 00:22:46,840
to be of sin the double cure does

587
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:50,320
anybody preach that today didn't the Methodists used

588
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,720
to sing that wonderful hymn and can it

589
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:54,540
be that I should gain an interest in

590
00:22:54,540 --> 00:22:57,620
the Savior's blood Isaac Watts wrote some of

591
00:22:57,620 --> 00:22:59,300
the greatest hymns ever written he wrote when

592
00:22:59,300 --> 00:23:01,740
I surveyed the wondrous cross he wrote we're

593
00:23:01,740 --> 00:23:03,940
marching to Zion he wrote the Christmas song

594
00:23:03,940 --> 00:23:05,540
joy to the world the Lord is come

595
00:23:05,540 --> 00:23:07,900
but one day somebody showed him that song

596
00:23:07,900 --> 00:23:10,680
of John Wesley Charles Wesley's and can it

597
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:12,020
be and he said if you put all

598
00:23:12,020 --> 00:23:15,560
my writings together not one of them not

599
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:17,220
all of them together is worth that one

600
00:23:17,220 --> 00:23:19,480
hymn that Wesley wrote and here you have

601
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,720
a man again of impeccable morality a scholar

602
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,640
a gentleman and listen what he says long

603
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,580
my imprisoned spirit lay fast bound in sin

604
00:23:27,580 --> 00:23:30,060
and nature's night by night he fused a

605
00:23:30,060 --> 00:23:32,220
quickening ray I walked the dungeon flamed with

606
00:23:32,220 --> 00:23:35,200
light my chains fell off what change of

607
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:41,620
superstition change of theology that wasn't sound you

608
00:23:41,620 --> 00:23:45,320
have the miracle of Charles Wesley being wonderfully

609
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:47,060
born again of the Spirit of God in

610
00:23:47,060 --> 00:23:49,540
your eyes are caught saying that him contains

611
00:23:49,540 --> 00:23:53,580
more than all my hymns put together we

612
00:23:53,580 --> 00:23:55,480
do not I must pray we do not

613
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:57,400
worship God as we should worship we do

614
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:02,220
not appreciate the wonder of the miracle that

615
00:24:02,220 --> 00:24:03,820
Jesus done for us you don't have to

616
00:24:03,820 --> 00:24:05,520
be fettered with sin you don't have to

617
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:07,640
be after being bondage you don't have to

618
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:09,440
go up and down you don't have to

619
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,420
run to every conference to get refilled you

620
00:24:11,420 --> 00:24:13,540
can be filled and be keeping filled with

621
00:24:13,540 --> 00:24:15,180
all the Spirit of God as long as

622
00:24:15,180 --> 00:24:18,100
you're obedient you've got to want to get

623
00:24:18,100 --> 00:24:20,240
rid of bondage you've got to be willing

624
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,700
to admit your failure you've got to admit

625
00:24:22,700 --> 00:24:26,600
admit your arrogance and your pride you've used

626
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:28,120
to admit you have no tears for the

627
00:24:28,120 --> 00:24:31,300
last this meeting is not an invitation by

628
00:24:31,300 --> 00:24:33,280
John Wimblede to you it's an invitation of

629
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,340

630
00:24:35,340 --> 00:24:38,200
God's tired of your failure God's tired of

631
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,820
your bankruptcy God's tired of you praying with

632
00:24:40,820 --> 00:24:42,920
dry eyes there's a world going to hell

633
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,940
fire and unless some miracle happens in the

634
00:24:45,940 --> 00:24:49,760
church more millions will go this very meeting

635
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:51,940
could go to the very uttermost parts of

636
00:24:51,940 --> 00:24:55,940
the earth but listen it costs something we

637
00:24:57,890 --> 00:24:59,710
used to have holiness meetings in England I

638
00:24:59,710 --> 00:25:01,430
went I used to preach very often to

639
00:25:01,430 --> 00:25:06,590
fellow John Sutherland Logan and Logan used to

640
00:25:06,590 --> 00:25:09,130
give the illustration of a man one of

641
00:25:09,130 --> 00:25:11,730
the great men in England in law by

642
00:25:11,730 --> 00:25:14,610
the name of Reader Harris he was a

643
00:25:14,610 --> 00:25:19,190
QC a Queen's Councillor for Queen Victoria one

644
00:25:19,190 --> 00:25:22,110
day was preaching in a meeting and he

645
00:25:22,110 --> 00:25:24,130
was preaching about the second work of grace

646
00:25:24,130 --> 00:25:27,310
that there's something beyond what you already have

647
00:25:27,310 --> 00:25:30,250
like Jesus said to the disciples go but

648
00:25:30,250 --> 00:25:35,690
he said tarry till you be endued they

649
00:25:35,690 --> 00:25:37,670
weren't cringing and fearful in the upper room

650
00:25:37,670 --> 00:25:41,370
they were glorious they were like like the

651
00:25:41,370 --> 00:25:43,830
woman another baby in her singing magnetic art

652
00:25:43,830 --> 00:25:46,730
because it says that they returned to Jerusalem

653
00:25:46,730 --> 00:25:49,330
with great joy after Jesus risen they knew

654
00:25:49,330 --> 00:25:51,350
he'd gone out to make intercede and they

655
00:25:51,350 --> 00:25:52,970
went to do what he told them they

656
00:25:52,970 --> 00:25:56,410
were obedient he says you come and tarry

657
00:25:56,410 --> 00:25:59,930
for 50 days there was a countdown only

658
00:25:59,930 --> 00:26:02,030
20 more days to go only 19 only

659
00:26:02,030 --> 00:26:04,350
10 and so forth they're full of joy

660
00:26:04,350 --> 00:26:06,650
and expectation and suddenly the Holy Ghost came

661
00:26:06,650 --> 00:26:12,970
upon them totally transformed Peter runs away from

662
00:26:12,970 --> 00:26:14,530
a girl who accused him of being a

663
00:26:14,530 --> 00:26:17,870
Christian as you say in the second chapter

664
00:26:17,870 --> 00:26:19,990
of the Acts he sticks his finger in

665
00:26:19,990 --> 00:26:22,670
the eyes of the chief priest you crucified

666
00:26:22,670 --> 00:26:26,010
the Lord of glory when he went to

667
00:26:26,010 --> 00:26:27,470
the man of the beautiful gate of the

668
00:26:27,470 --> 00:26:29,910
temple he passed him a hundred times and

669
00:26:29,910 --> 00:26:31,970
never touched him he didn't go up to

670
00:26:31,970 --> 00:26:33,390
him and say listen I've got the answer

671
00:26:33,390 --> 00:26:35,730
for your brother Jesus passed you hundreds of

672
00:26:35,730 --> 00:26:37,810
times I've passed you hundreds of times but

673
00:26:37,810 --> 00:26:39,450
yesterday I got the baptism of the Holy

674
00:26:39,450 --> 00:26:41,350
Ghost I speak in tongue I'm going to

675
00:26:41,350 --> 00:26:43,010
liberate you he never said a word to

676
00:26:43,010 --> 00:26:47,370
him he just pointed we've got to rediscover

677
00:26:47,370 --> 00:26:50,930
that authority where in the power of God

678
00:26:50,930 --> 00:26:55,370
we stand against principalities and powers and don't

679
00:26:55,370 --> 00:26:57,310
you say it's not for me it is

680
00:26:57,310 --> 00:27:00,450
for you if you're willing and obedient if

681
00:27:00,450 --> 00:27:03,410
already there's a measure of faithfulness in you

682
00:27:03,410 --> 00:27:05,130
if you love this word more than the

683
00:27:05,130 --> 00:27:08,170
necessary food if you say tonight listen I'm

684
00:27:08,170 --> 00:27:09,850
the pastor of a big church I don't

685
00:27:09,850 --> 00:27:12,470
care I'm so hungry for God I'm so

686
00:27:12,470 --> 00:27:14,950
tired of bondage I'm so tired of failure

687
00:27:14,950 --> 00:27:17,490
I want God to move in me by

688
00:27:17,490 --> 00:27:19,590
the Holy Ghost and he'll move in prayer

689
00:27:19,590 --> 00:27:22,790
as you've never known prayer he'll move with

690
00:27:22,790 --> 00:27:25,610
compassion that you've never known before you'll weep

691
00:27:25,610 --> 00:27:28,570
over the lost you'll be burdened for this

692
00:27:28,570 --> 00:27:31,130
great country which is in terrible danger right

693
00:27:31,130 --> 00:27:33,250
now not from the wrath of a man

694
00:27:33,250 --> 00:27:34,770
it's from the danger of the wrath of

695
00:27:34,770 --> 00:27:39,010
God unless we have a intervention anyhow here's

696
00:27:39,010 --> 00:27:43,670
this fellow preaching well shall I preach that

697
00:27:43,670 --> 00:27:45,170
there's a second work of grace I mean

698
00:27:45,170 --> 00:27:48,010
look at these distinguished preachers who do you

699
00:27:48,010 --> 00:27:51,550
think was there there was a young Scot

700
00:27:51,550 --> 00:27:52,950
and I take me a minute to say

701
00:27:52,950 --> 00:27:56,190
this in a school on the east west

702
00:27:56,190 --> 00:27:59,230
coast of Scotland in Danube a man by

703
00:27:59,230 --> 00:28:01,750
the name of Oswald Chambers nobody knew him

704
00:28:01,750 --> 00:28:04,970
he struggled and struggled with unbelief he struggled

705
00:28:04,970 --> 00:28:08,310
with carnality he struggled with failure he struggled

706
00:28:08,310 --> 00:28:11,470
with bondage who went along but a mild

707
00:28:11,470 --> 00:28:13,650
-mannered man by the name of Dr F

708
00:28:13,650 --> 00:28:16,690
.B. Meyer and Meyer preached on a victorious

709
00:28:16,690 --> 00:28:20,230
life you see the emphasis of Colossians to

710
00:28:20,230 --> 00:28:23,030
me and Philippians is not about the baptism

711
00:28:23,030 --> 00:28:25,530
it's Christ living in you it's Christ in

712
00:28:25,530 --> 00:28:28,890
you the hope of glory you love like

713
00:28:28,890 --> 00:28:30,990
Christ would love you see like Christ would

714
00:28:30,990 --> 00:28:32,970
love you have the compassion Christ would have

715
00:28:32,970 --> 00:28:35,610
because you're no longer worldly you become the

716
00:28:35,610 --> 00:28:39,050
possession of God the Holy Ghost so he

717
00:28:39,050 --> 00:28:41,950
said men some of you are failures you

718
00:28:41,950 --> 00:28:43,930
know you need of liberty you know you

719
00:28:43,930 --> 00:28:47,050
know your need of power you come right

720
00:28:47,050 --> 00:28:48,850
out now and kneel and they did what

721
00:28:48,850 --> 00:28:55,140
happened who went Oswald Chambers went no no

722
00:28:55,140 --> 00:28:58,320
he wasn't in that meeting now let me

723
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:00,760
get turn around a bit it was in

724
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:04,960
the meeting where the QC was preaching but

725
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:08,560
it began seven years ago do you know

726
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:14,140
Oswald Chambers said for seven years I struggled

727
00:29:14,140 --> 00:29:17,700
with doubt and unbelief I was in bondage

728
00:29:17,700 --> 00:29:20,000
I didn't believe I could have freedom victory

729
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,540
over sin victory over temper victory over lust

730
00:29:22,540 --> 00:29:25,460
and he said for seven years I struggled

731
00:29:25,460 --> 00:29:28,020
but that day when that man said be

732
00:29:28,020 --> 00:29:30,480
of sin the double cure there's another cure

733
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:33,280
not for your past sins but you can

734
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:35,500
enter into rest he said I went forward

735
00:29:35,500 --> 00:29:38,360
and I received the Holy Spirit in a

736
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,940
new way you know the result many of

737
00:29:40,940 --> 00:29:44,480
you read his book Oswald Chambers my utmost

738
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,220
for his highest it all came when that

739
00:29:47,220 --> 00:29:48,560
man got to the end of the line

740
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:50,360
and said I can't live in failure and

741
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:53,900
bondage anymore it's an awful thing for me

742
00:29:53,900 --> 00:29:56,420
to think in this final moment here the

743
00:29:56,420 --> 00:29:59,200
destiny of millions of souls could be hanging

744
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,800
on this meeting you don't have to go

745
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:03,780
to that building as you came in in

746
00:30:03,780 --> 00:30:06,980
failure in bondage you've got to say I

747
00:30:06,980 --> 00:30:08,980
don't care if I die to friendships I

748
00:30:08,980 --> 00:30:10,980
don't care if I die to the opinions

749
00:30:10,980 --> 00:30:13,340
of people I don't care if I die

750
00:30:13,340 --> 00:30:16,040
to all the past I'm a needy soul

751
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,320
I want to repent tonight in the presence

752
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:20,620
of I want the Holy Ghost more than

753
00:30:20,620 --> 00:30:27,820
anything on earth I'll pay any price give

754
00:30:27,820 --> 00:30:30,140
me the chance to come and have a

755
00:30:30,140 --> 00:30:33,680
broken heart give me the chance to get

756
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:35,560
rid of this wretched pride that makes me

757
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:37,280
believe I'm the greatest preacher in the world

758
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:39,480
and it hinders me and God will not

759
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:43,420
flow because of my arrogance my self-sufficiency

760
00:30:43,420 --> 00:30:48,460
my consciousness I'm a scholar of something dear

761
00:30:48,460 --> 00:30:50,900
friend I tell you this when I went

762
00:30:50,900 --> 00:30:53,980
forward and received and the experience of being

763
00:30:53,980 --> 00:30:56,420
filled with the spirit I was a youth

764
00:30:56,420 --> 00:31:00,260
leader in our church I'd led more souls

765
00:31:00,260 --> 00:31:01,700
to the Lord by the grace of God

766
00:31:01,700 --> 00:31:03,600
but I knew there was envy and jealousy

767
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:05,320
in my heart there was failure I didn't

768
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:07,640
carry through in prayer and so forth I

769
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:09,260
remember going to that altar when a man

770
00:31:09,260 --> 00:31:11,120
came to me brought his Bible said Leonard

771
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:12,240
what do you want what are you doing

772
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:13,960
here I said I want God to make

773
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,680
Romans 6-7 really my life he said

774
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:18,260
you mean Romans 6-6 I don't I

775
00:31:18,260 --> 00:31:20,140
mean Romans 6-7 he didn't even know

776
00:31:20,140 --> 00:31:22,560
what it was that's why Romans 6-7

777
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:24,380
is this he that is dead is freed

778
00:31:24,380 --> 00:31:27,700
from sin Oswald Chambers says until you what

779
00:31:27,700 --> 00:31:30,860
was it said until you know death to

780
00:31:30,860 --> 00:31:32,920
self you don't know the Christian life is

781
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:37,540
we're carrying burdens we shouldn't carry he wants

782
00:31:37,540 --> 00:31:39,700
to burden us with love and compassion for

783
00:31:39,700 --> 00:31:41,720
a lost world and we're struggling with failure

784
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:47,660
we're struggling with irregular habits in prayer a

785
00:31:47,660 --> 00:31:50,920
dying world doesn't mean much to us but

786
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:52,400
I tell you there's a liberty one God

787
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,000
wants to give tonight do not God show

788
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:55,700
me clearly in prayer tonight there are some

789
00:31:55,700 --> 00:31:57,860
people here in darkness you've never been in

790
00:31:57,860 --> 00:32:00,200
darkness like this before and it can end

791
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,900
tonight and you've come forth in the light

792
00:32:02,900 --> 00:32:05,040
and the power of the Holy Spirit of

793
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:09,350
God as you know I do not make

794
00:32:09,350 --> 00:32:13,300
altar calls I think altar calls are the

795
00:32:13,300 --> 00:32:18,140
ishmael of evangelism they're fleshly when John Baptist

796
00:32:18,140 --> 00:32:20,320
preached there was no altar call the people

797
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:22,380
cried out the publicans cried out what should

798
00:32:22,380 --> 00:32:24,700
we do what should you do tonight go

799
00:32:24,700 --> 00:32:27,660
out of that door in defeat or go

800
00:32:27,660 --> 00:32:30,940
out in victory telling the world the flesh

801
00:32:30,940 --> 00:32:32,580
and the devil under your feet and say

802
00:32:32,580 --> 00:32:34,580
I can be more than conqueror through him

803
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,600
and I'm going to be conqueror I'm going

804
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:39,420
to walk on a new level of spirituality

805
00:32:39,420 --> 00:32:42,620
by the grace of God be being filled

806
00:32:42,620 --> 00:32:46,860
with a spirit day by day you'll marvel

807
00:32:46,860 --> 00:32:49,200
at your growth in grace other people marvel

808
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,020
too but most of all we give joy

809
00:32:51,020 --> 00:32:53,960
to the Lord Jesus who died that you

810
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:56,060
might receive the gift of the Holy Ghost

811
00:32:56,060 --> 00:32:59,680
in holy power be delivered from all your

812
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:01,840
bondage whether it's smoking a lust I don't

813
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:03,340
care what it is we can be more

814
00:33:03,340 --> 00:33:06,620
than conquerors through him you can be one

815
00:33:06,620 --> 00:33:09,020
of those men moved by the Holy Ghost

816
00:33:09,020 --> 00:33:11,440
who knows where you'll be in five years

817
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:13,000
from now if you let God have his

818
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:17,880
