poured 214 00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:58,780 out my heart to them as I do 215 00:07:58,780 --> 00:07:59,420 to you today. 216 00:07:59,420 --> 00:08:02,160 And after they said, Brother Lake, we'd like 217 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:03,720 to be alone for a little while. 218 00:08:06,580 --> 00:08:07,720 You ask us to retire. 219 00:08:07,820 --> 00:08:09,440 Will you retire when we make a decision? 220 00:08:09,940 --> 00:08:11,420 And then they did an awesome thing. 221 00:08:11,500 --> 00:08:13,080 I've never read this in history before. 222 00:08:14,020 --> 00:08:15,500 These people came forward. 223 00:08:16,260 --> 00:08:19,000 They cleared the chairs, made a circle and 224 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,800 put 120 chairs for the 120 preachers. 225 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:24,640 That's like the 120 in the upper room. 226 00:08:26,020 --> 00:08:28,060 And they said, Brother Lake, we made our 227 00:08:28,060 --> 00:08:28,440 decision. 228 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,240 We're going back to our fields if we 229 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:30,680 die. 230 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,860 If our wives die, if our children die, 231 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:39,000 we will never reduce the ministry that Jesus 232 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:40,919 has established through the work in Africa. 233 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:43,320 And then they took bread and wine in 234 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:44,220 the middle of the table. 235 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,040 And each man came forward and took a 236 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,180 piece of bread and drank the wine. 237 00:08:49,260 --> 00:08:50,360 And this is what they said. 238 00:08:51,500 --> 00:08:55,540 He said, I took my place at the 239 00:08:55,540 --> 00:08:57,780 head of the circle as they brought bread 240 00:08:57,780 --> 00:08:58,260 and wine. 241 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,340 And every one man said this. 242 00:09:00,340 --> 00:09:02,300 And I believe God understands it. 243 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,180 There are bankrupt people in a foreign country 244 00:09:05,180 --> 00:09:08,380 where there's witchcraft and devilry and every hellish 245 00:09:08,380 --> 00:09:10,000 thing opposing them. 246 00:09:10,740 --> 00:09:14,440 Living men and every conceivable hardship. 247 00:09:15,380 --> 00:09:17,340 We're not going to let the standard down. 248 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:19,640 If you sacrifice like that, we will. 249 00:09:19,740 --> 00:09:20,500 So what did they say? 250 00:09:21,060 --> 00:09:22,340 They took the bread and the wine. 251 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:23,700 And this is the pledge they made. 252 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,660 Every man said, this is the New Testament 253 00:09:26,660 --> 00:09:29,100 in my blood for South Africa. 254 00:09:29,740 --> 00:09:35,110 Isn't that a commitment before all the angels? 255 00:09:36,030 --> 00:09:38,250 Before each other saying, we don't care. 256 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:42,660 This is the last final thrust. 257 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,800 We're reduced to helplessness, but it's the lame 258 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:46,880 that take the prey. 259 00:09:47,340 --> 00:09:48,720 And to those who have no mind to 260 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:49,580 increase the strength. 261 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:51,740 People at home are criticizing them. 262 00:09:51,940 --> 00:09:53,920 People that don't know a thing about facing 263 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:55,300 the devil and the hardships. 264 00:09:58,450 --> 00:10:00,670 But they said, brother, we have a request. 265 00:10:01,550 --> 00:10:03,250 The request is this. 266 00:10:03,250 --> 00:10:06,450 If you die, will you please bury us? 267 00:10:06,950 --> 00:10:09,050 Now listen to his word through his tears. 268 00:10:10,430 --> 00:10:12,690 We pledged ourselves as need be to die. 269 00:10:13,650 --> 00:10:16,250 If our wives die, if our children die, 270 00:10:16,350 --> 00:10:17,290 here's the report. 271 00:10:25,010 --> 00:10:26,610 They said, if we die, come and bury 272 00:10:26,610 --> 00:10:26,830 us. 273 00:10:26,890 --> 00:10:27,710 Now listen to this. 274 00:10:28,470 --> 00:10:33,190 12 times in that year of hell, I 275 00:10:33,190 --> 00:10:37,110 stood beside the finest men, 12 of the 276 00:10:37,110 --> 00:10:40,030 finest men and 16 of the greatest prayer 277 00:10:40,030 --> 00:10:43,490 intercessors that God ever let live on the 278 00:10:43,490 --> 00:10:43,810 earth. 279 00:10:45,690 --> 00:10:46,950 14 women, was it? 280 00:10:47,470 --> 00:10:49,730 And 12 men, no, 16 women and 12 281 00:10:49,730 --> 00:10:51,670 men pledged themselves to die. 282 00:10:51,710 --> 00:10:53,310 And he said, I buried every one of 283 00:10:53,310 --> 00:10:53,490 them. 284 00:10:56,180 --> 00:10:57,760 They couldn't live on the money that we 285 00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:59,720 were sending for those white people. 286 00:11:00,680 --> 00:11:02,620 But they said we'll die and die they 287 00:11:02,620 --> 00:11:03,040 did. 288 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,480 And he said, I saw my labors. 289 00:11:05,940 --> 00:11:07,680 I saw the men that I thought were 290 00:11:07,680 --> 00:11:09,880 the strength of the next move of God. 291 00:11:11,460 --> 00:11:12,660 And I buried them. 292 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,040 I stood in tears at the side and 293 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:18,500 said, God, I don't understand. 294 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,400 This woman has the power of anointing. 295 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,100 When she prays, that man has been used 296 00:11:24,100 --> 00:11:26,440 in apostolic strength and there he's buried. 297 00:11:27,180 --> 00:11:28,800 And then we took the children and had 298 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:30,160 to bury the children as well. 299 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,440 But he says here a bit further, all 300 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,220 the heroes of Jesus do not live in 301 00:11:35,220 --> 00:11:36,920 the first century nor in the fourth. 302 00:11:37,900 --> 00:11:39,360 He said, I want to tell you my 303 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:40,280 soul was touched. 304 00:11:41,940 --> 00:11:44,040 My soul has been touched by the soul 305 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:44,800 of this people. 306 00:11:45,620 --> 00:11:47,540 My heart felt a new lift in God 307 00:11:47,540 --> 00:11:50,340 and a new response from the depths of 308 00:11:50,340 --> 00:11:50,980 my heart. 309 00:11:53,220 --> 00:11:56,020 Now listen to this, I can't quote it 310 00:11:56,020 --> 00:11:56,940 exactly here. 311 00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:58,820 But one of the men was a thin 312 00:11:58,820 --> 00:11:59,440 black man. 313 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,200 He got filled with the spirit of God. 314 00:12:03,340 --> 00:12:05,000 And he said, I went and I saw 315 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,000 him under a tree and he was there 316 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:08,100 for 30 days. 317 00:12:11,570 --> 00:12:13,530 Praying for a new move of the spirit 318 00:12:13,530 --> 00:12:14,150 of God. 319 00:12:15,250 --> 00:12:16,870 He said, I took him food and he 320 00:12:16,870 --> 00:12:18,570 said, no, I have to fast and pray. 321 00:12:18,950 --> 00:12:20,710 You've been there 10 days, it doesn't matter. 322 00:12:20,790 --> 00:12:22,210 You've been there 20 days, it doesn't matter. 323 00:12:22,770 --> 00:12:24,390 That's getting serious, isn't it? 324 00:12:26,090 --> 00:12:28,430 I can't live by little people dying to 325 00:12:28,430 --> 00:12:28,970 go to hell. 326 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,820 But he said, eventually that man came forward. 327 00:12:37,420 --> 00:12:39,660 He prayed as nobody has ever prayed and 328 00:12:39,660 --> 00:12:41,340 I know of in my lifetime. 329 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,400 For days he remained under a thorn tree. 330 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:46,300 When I passed in the morning, I would 331 00:12:46,300 --> 00:12:47,180 hear him in prayer. 332 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:48,660 When I returned in the evening, he was 333 00:12:48,660 --> 00:12:52,400 still praying and he wouldn't take any nourishment 334 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:53,240 of any kind. 335 00:12:58,910 --> 00:13:00,290 Then he says he had to go on 336 00:13:00,290 --> 00:13:01,190 a mission himself. 337 00:13:02,010 --> 00:13:03,430 Here was a man kneeling under the tree 338 00:13:03,430 --> 00:13:04,690 but I had to go away for a 339 00:13:04,690 --> 00:13:04,950 while. 340 00:13:05,650 --> 00:13:08,110 And 150 feet away, my eyes were open. 341 00:13:08,410 --> 00:13:10,310 I saw a scene I'd never seen before. 342 00:13:10,530 --> 00:13:12,830 A multitude of demons like a flock of 343 00:13:12,830 --> 00:13:13,130 sheep. 344 00:13:13,710 --> 00:13:15,530 The spirit of the Lord came on him 345 00:13:15,530 --> 00:13:15,930 also. 346 00:13:15,930 --> 00:13:18,570 He rushed ahead of me, cursing the demons 347 00:13:18,570 --> 00:13:20,050 and they were driven back to hell. 348 00:13:21,290 --> 00:13:23,670 There's a scourge where hundreds of people have 349 00:13:23,670 --> 00:13:26,430 died of fever and these demons were blocking 350 00:13:26,430 --> 00:13:26,930 the Lord. 351 00:13:27,110 --> 00:13:29,110 Rolled and here is one man and he 352 00:13:29,110 --> 00:13:30,110 rebukes the demons. 353 00:13:31,670 --> 00:13:34,150 And immediately there's a release of power and 354 00:13:34,150 --> 00:13:37,790 health and the people get restored in health 355 00:13:37,790 --> 00:13:40,070 and the glory of God comes again. 356 00:13:41,070 --> 00:13:43,690 But the thing that gets me again, as 357 00:13:43,690 --> 00:13:46,010 I thought of the point as David put 358 00:13:46,010 --> 00:13:48,710 it this morning again, we want new wineskins, 359 00:13:48,850 --> 00:13:50,290 we want to go buy them somewhere. 360 00:13:50,730 --> 00:13:52,010 You want to come to the conference and 361 00:13:52,010 --> 00:13:53,270 get one when you buy your books. 362 00:13:53,810 --> 00:13:55,510 You want to have one sudden infrastructure of 363 00:13:55,510 --> 00:13:55,790 joy. 364 00:13:56,450 --> 00:13:59,570 And God says, no, it's not by might 365 00:13:59,570 --> 00:14:02,410 nor by power but by my spirit. 366 00:14:05,700 --> 00:14:11,740 Samson says, just give me that supernatural anointing 367 00:14:11,740 --> 00:14:16,120 once more and the spirit of the Lord 368 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:17,400 came upon him mightily. 369 00:14:17,900 --> 00:14:20,160 He pushed out the pillars and the record, 370 00:14:20,420 --> 00:14:24,120 divine record here says, he killed more in 371 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,060 his dying than in his living. 372 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:29,940 Well, isn't that God our God? 373 00:14:33,100 --> 00:14:34,500 We don't want to die, do we? 374 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,060 We don't want to die to our plans. 375 00:14:37,500 --> 00:14:39,000 You plan what you do the next three 376 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:40,020 years, die to it. 377 00:14:40,860 --> 00:14:42,580 As David said, you can't bring somebody to 378 00:14:42,580 --> 00:14:43,660 God and say, bless it. 379 00:14:43,940 --> 00:14:45,320 You see, many of us think what we 380 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:46,260 have is so good. 381 00:14:46,260 --> 00:14:47,940 All we need is a bit more power 382 00:14:47,940 --> 00:14:49,240 behind it to shake the world. 383 00:14:49,340 --> 00:14:51,140 God says, no, get rid of your confidence. 384 00:14:51,660 --> 00:14:53,060 Get rid of the works of the flesh. 385 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,720 Get rid of your leaning on your education 386 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,700 or leaning on this or the other. 387 00:14:58,560 --> 00:14:59,820 Be willing to die. 388 00:15:02,050 --> 00:15:03,750 That's the hardest thing in the world to 389 00:15:03,750 --> 00:15:04,010 do. 390 00:15:05,410 --> 00:15:06,770 We'll come forward for blessing. 391 00:15:07,290 --> 00:15:08,670 We'll come forward for gifts. 392 00:15:09,210 --> 00:15:11,390 We'll come forward for anointing, but die? 393 00:15:15,650 --> 00:15:17,410 Well, it's the only way Jesus made it. 394 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,060 It's the only way the apostle Paul made 395 00:15:22,060 --> 00:15:22,280 it. 396 00:15:23,140 --> 00:15:25,280 With all his genius and all he had, 397 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,620 this man is the most amazing man ever 398 00:15:28,620 --> 00:15:29,280 in history. 399 00:15:29,540 --> 00:15:31,420 He went to heaven and had a journey 400 00:15:31,420 --> 00:15:33,640 up there, a vacation up there. 401 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:35,600 The demons in hell knew him. 402 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:36,860 How did it happen? 403 00:15:38,260 --> 00:15:39,560 Well, this is what he says. 404 00:15:40,220 --> 00:15:42,340 God revealed himself to me. 405 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,060 Then he had three years in Damascus and 406 00:15:45,060 --> 00:15:46,600 God revealed himself in me. 407 00:15:47,340 --> 00:15:48,200 Then he comes out. 408 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:49,620 There's no failure after that. 409 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:50,240 It's triumph. 410 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:53,280 God's going to raise these men up. 411 00:15:53,340 --> 00:15:54,380 I'm absolutely sure. 412 00:15:54,900 --> 00:15:56,760 It's not easy to die to your career, 413 00:15:57,100 --> 00:15:58,280 to die to your plans. 414 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:00,380 Self doesn't want to die. 415 00:16:00,580 --> 00:16:04,380 It fights for my resources. 416 00:16:04,620 --> 00:16:06,200 What God can know, serene. 417 00:16:07,660 --> 00:16:09,100 It's a terrible thing. 418 00:16:09,740 --> 00:16:11,600 Dear Dr. Chaucer talked to me often about 419 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:11,820 that. 420 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,100 He'd say, Leonard, remember, when you see a 421 00:16:14,100 --> 00:16:15,800 man going down the road with a cross, 422 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:17,880 you know one thing, he's not coming back. 423 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:20,460 Did you die at the altar last night? 424 00:16:23,330 --> 00:16:25,530 Did every ambition of yours perish? 425 00:16:26,990 --> 00:16:28,470 Do you say, Lord God, I don't care 426 00:16:28,470 --> 00:16:30,110 how you reorganize my life. 427 00:16:30,850 --> 00:16:32,310 I told God in the early hours of 428 00:16:32,310 --> 00:16:33,590 this morning, I didn't sleep much. 429 00:16:33,650 --> 00:16:34,790 My precious Martha, didn't I? 430 00:16:34,870 --> 00:16:37,470 I said to God that the Queen of 431 00:16:37,470 --> 00:16:41,230 England, Queen Victoria loved to go over the 432 00:16:41,230 --> 00:16:42,550 English Channel to Calais. 433 00:16:42,830 --> 00:16:44,050 Calais, you may call it. 434 00:16:44,550 --> 00:16:46,910 She liked the castle she had there. 435 00:16:47,470 --> 00:16:49,510 She liked the climate there. 436 00:16:49,910 --> 00:16:51,570 And she said, when I die, you'll find 437 00:16:51,570 --> 00:16:53,670 buried on my heart, Calais. 438 00:16:55,270 --> 00:16:56,770 This may seem funny to you. 439 00:16:56,850 --> 00:16:57,170 I don't know. 440 00:16:57,210 --> 00:16:57,890 And I don't care. 441 00:16:58,390 --> 00:16:59,990 I said to the Lord this morning, as 442 00:16:59,990 --> 00:17:01,590 I lay across the bed in the dark, 443 00:17:01,670 --> 00:17:04,670 I said, Lord, stamp on my heart what 444 00:17:04,670 --> 00:17:05,170 you want. 445 00:17:05,250 --> 00:17:06,430 I don't care what it is. 446 00:17:07,490 --> 00:17:11,630 This heart, as Wesley wrote 200 years ago, 447 00:17:11,690 --> 00:17:13,770 take my poor heart and let it be 448 00:17:13,770 --> 00:17:16,130 forever closed to all but thee. 449 00:17:16,130 --> 00:17:19,130 Seal thou my breast and let me wear 450 00:17:19,130 --> 00:17:22,010 a pledge of love forever there. 451 00:17:22,770 --> 00:17:25,170 Enlarge in flame and fill my heart with 452 00:17:25,170 --> 00:17:26,690 boundless charity divine. 453 00:17:27,290 --> 00:17:29,470 So shall I all my strength exert and 454 00:17:29,470 --> 00:17:31,470 love them with a zeal like thine and 455 00:17:31,470 --> 00:17:33,430 turn them to a pardoning God. 456 00:17:34,530 --> 00:17:35,470 Wesley died. 457 00:17:36,150 --> 00:17:38,030 His family was next to the royal family 458 00:17:38,030 --> 00:17:38,390 in England. 459 00:17:38,510 --> 00:17:39,410 It didn't make any difference. 460 00:17:39,850 --> 00:17:42,070 He died to his scholarship and his attainment. 461 00:17:42,470 --> 00:17:44,190 He had to die even to Methodism. 462 00:17:44,190 --> 00:17:46,310 After he was born in a holy fire, 463 00:17:46,430 --> 00:17:47,230 it went down. 464 00:17:48,090 --> 00:17:49,250 And it nearly broke his heart. 465 00:17:49,330 --> 00:17:53,310 He said to Charles, give every young preacher 466 00:17:53,310 --> 00:17:55,850 that we have in Methodism a copy of 467 00:17:55,850 --> 00:17:58,130 the life of David Brainerd, the young American. 468 00:17:58,670 --> 00:17:59,310 And they read it. 469 00:17:59,350 --> 00:18:00,950 And there was a revival through that. 470 00:18:02,090 --> 00:18:05,250 Wesley himself lived in total sacrifice. 471 00:18:06,430 --> 00:18:08,150 If he'd stayed on as a Church of 472 00:18:08,150 --> 00:18:09,610 England, he would have been the Archbishop of 473 00:18:09,610 --> 00:18:10,130 Canterbury. 474 00:18:10,770 --> 00:18:12,310 If he'd gone into politics, he would have 475 00:18:12,310 --> 00:18:13,750 been the Prime Minister of England. 476 00:18:13,750 --> 00:18:15,650 If he'd gone into business, he'd have died 477 00:18:15,650 --> 00:18:16,470 a multimillionaire. 478 00:18:16,590 --> 00:18:17,750 He died almost broke. 479 00:18:18,150 --> 00:18:19,310 But look at Methodism. 480 00:18:19,450 --> 00:18:20,430 It's down now. 481 00:18:20,830 --> 00:18:22,010 It may come back again. 482 00:18:22,050 --> 00:18:22,730 I don't know. 483 00:18:23,050 --> 00:18:25,030 But I believe with David this morning, God 484 00:18:25,030 --> 00:18:26,090 wants a new thing. 485 00:18:26,670 --> 00:18:28,270 He's not going to pour wine into your 486 00:18:28,270 --> 00:18:32,590 old ideas and your formality and your creed 487 00:18:32,590 --> 00:18:34,110 and your ritual. 488 00:18:35,390 --> 00:18:36,910 It has to be consumed. 489 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,320 I told you last night, say again, I 490 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,500 believe the destiny of millions of people in 491 00:18:44,500 --> 00:18:48,560 the world tonight today hang on this meeting. 492 00:18:49,940 --> 00:18:51,540 It's a fearful thing. 493 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:54,920 Hebrews says to fall into the hands of 494 00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:55,700 the living God. 495 00:18:56,060 --> 00:18:58,160 Robert Louis Stevenson said it's a more fearful 496 00:18:58,160 --> 00:18:59,320 thing to fall out. 497 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,280 God knocks and knocks and knocks. 498 00:19:02,340 --> 00:19:04,320 As I said last night, even the dirty 499 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:09,880 church that you have, backslidden and dirty, Laodicean 500 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:10,940 Church, he has mercy. 501 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:11,820 He stands there. 502 00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:16,980 Strengthen me just once. 503 00:19:18,930 --> 00:19:21,430 I'm tired of the world mocking the church. 504 00:19:22,230 --> 00:19:24,110 I don't find it funny when I say 505 00:19:24,110 --> 00:19:25,790 to some young people, they go to church. 506 00:19:26,090 --> 00:19:27,970 I go to a Pentecostal church of this. 507 00:19:28,370 --> 00:19:31,130 But Mr. Ravner, there's more fun at a 508 00:19:31,130 --> 00:19:32,870 Tupperware party than going to church. 509 00:19:33,370 --> 00:19:35,130 I don't think church should be entertainment. 510 00:19:35,310 --> 00:19:36,770 And I do believe the glory of God 511 00:19:36,770 --> 00:19:37,430 should be there. 512 00:19:37,770 --> 00:19:39,330 That sometimes I want to walk out on 513 00:19:39,330 --> 00:19:41,690 my hands and knees because deity has come. 514 00:19:42,730 --> 00:19:45,090 Because God's lifted the veil and show me 515 00:19:45,090 --> 00:19:45,910 into eternity. 516 00:19:47,290 --> 00:19:49,490 Here is a man that's known power and 517 00:19:49,490 --> 00:19:50,870 might and success. 518 00:19:51,350 --> 00:19:53,150 And he's the sport of the world. 519 00:19:53,710 --> 00:19:55,570 He no longer embarrasses the world. 520 00:19:55,650 --> 00:19:56,930 The world embarrasses him. 521 00:19:57,430 --> 00:19:59,410 I'm embarrassed to be part of a world, 522 00:19:59,510 --> 00:20:01,190 a church that embarrasses God. 523 00:20:01,910 --> 00:20:04,130 I live in the most tragic situation in 524 00:20:04,130 --> 00:20:04,390 the world. 525 00:20:04,830 --> 00:20:07,350 I live in a world that has lost 526 00:20:07,350 --> 00:20:09,810 its way and a church that has lost 527 00:20:09,810 --> 00:20:10,450 its voice. 528 00:20:11,450 --> 00:20:13,230 God has no voice but men. 529 00:20:13,390 --> 00:20:15,390 He doesn't use angels to yell through the 530 00:20:15,390 --> 00:20:15,810 sky. 531 00:20:16,690 --> 00:20:18,790 Some of you men this morning can be 532 00:20:18,790 --> 00:20:19,830 cleansed and endued. 533 00:20:19,930 --> 00:20:21,210 I'm not offering you a bargain. 534 00:20:21,930 --> 00:20:23,710 I'm saying, listen, you've got to die. 535 00:20:23,870 --> 00:20:24,990 Don't come out for blessing. 536 00:20:25,090 --> 00:20:25,970 I don't want you to come out for 537 00:20:25,970 --> 00:20:26,390 blessing. 538 00:20:26,830 --> 00:20:28,030 Don't come out for help. 539 00:20:28,710 --> 00:20:30,850 A person said to me recently, I've been 540 00:20:30,850 --> 00:20:32,990 to the altar three or four times asking 541 00:20:32,990 --> 00:20:34,550 God to help me with my temper. 542 00:20:34,890 --> 00:20:35,790 He'll never do that. 543 00:20:36,210 --> 00:20:38,770 Because he says in Romans 7, the carnal 544 00:20:38,770 --> 00:20:41,330 mind is enmity and there's no law God 545 00:20:41,330 --> 00:20:42,170 has for it. 546 00:20:42,710 --> 00:20:45,410 All he has for carnality is crucifixion. 547 00:20:46,810 --> 00:20:50,450 But crucifixion precedes life. 548 00:20:52,290 --> 00:20:55,770 Crucifixion precedes resurrection, life and power. 549 00:20:56,570 --> 00:20:59,670 Again, as I began at the beginning, the 550 00:20:59,670 --> 00:21:03,150 church has to recover, not by formula, not 551 00:21:03,150 --> 00:21:06,390 by recitation, the mysterious power of the Holy 552 00:21:06,390 --> 00:21:10,410 Ghost on unlettered and ignorant men that scared 553 00:21:10,410 --> 00:21:13,670 the devil, that went into the Roman Empire 554 00:21:13,670 --> 00:21:15,730 and turned areas upside down. 555 00:21:15,810 --> 00:21:20,130 Without money, without backing, because God indwelt them. 556 00:21:20,650 --> 00:21:22,970 The most glorious thing this side of eternity, 557 00:21:23,150 --> 00:21:24,950 let me tell you, is to be filled 558 00:21:24,950 --> 00:21:27,630 with the knowledge of God's will. 559 00:21:28,270 --> 00:21:29,610 It's to be filled with his power. 560 00:21:30,210 --> 00:21:31,950 It's to be more than conqueror in this 561 00:21:31,950 --> 00:21:33,410 twisted, perverted world. 562 00:21:34,130 --> 00:21:35,610 Jesus didn't die to save us. 563 00:21:35,990 --> 00:21:38,490 He died that we may be partakers of 564 00:21:38,490 --> 00:21:39,290 his holiness. 565 00:21:40,330 --> 00:21:41,150 Isn't that fabulous? 566 00:21:51,060 --> 00:21:51,880 Well, that's okay. 567 00:21:51,980 --> 00:21:53,140 It won't do me good to God. 568 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:56,660 I'm going to ask you a simple question. 569 00:21:58,340 --> 00:21:59,940 Do you tell God you want to die? 570 00:22:01,460 --> 00:22:03,240 Do you go on record as the eternal 571 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,720 God looks down here and you come forward 572 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,300 and say, I died to self, I self 573 00:22:08,300 --> 00:22:10,900 -seeking, self-interest, self-glory. 574 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:12,800 I don't care if you make me a 575 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:14,260 janitor in the Holy Ghost. 576 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,020 I'm not concerned about going in a pulpit. 577 00:22:17,620 --> 00:22:18,880 As I said to you the other day 578 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,160 and say again, the Holy Ghost was on 579 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,340 William Burns when he shook the whole of, 580 00:22:25,180 --> 00:22:26,580 what was the city in Scotland? 581 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:30,220 Well, he followed Robbie Murdoch and Shane. 582 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,160 When William Burns went and the city was 583 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,420 shaking and the power of God, God took 584 00:22:36,420 --> 00:22:37,860 him out of that, put him in China 585 00:22:37,860 --> 00:22:41,260 where men followed him and said, you yellow 586 00:22:41,260 --> 00:22:42,460 devil, get out of here. 587 00:22:42,580 --> 00:22:43,360 Grow a pigtail. 588 00:22:43,980 --> 00:22:45,600 And he went through terrible suffering. 589 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,640 And he'd come from the greatest revival in 590 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:49,780 Europe at that time. 591 00:22:49,780 --> 00:22:51,920 But he needed the Holy Ghost to be 592 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:55,220 in silence and bear the loneliness and bear 593 00:22:55,220 --> 00:22:57,380 the accusation of the devil and bear the 594 00:22:57,380 --> 00:22:59,540 ridicule of people at home who said, why 595 00:22:59,540 --> 00:23:01,220 didn't he go on from city to city? 596 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:03,560 Because God told him to go listen. 597 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,160 And he went and ploughed his life into 598 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:06,640 China. 599 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,560 After him came Jonathan Goforth and had revival 600 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:10,920 there. 601 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:13,600 After him came Watchman Nee. 602 00:23:14,300 --> 00:23:16,460 After him or with him came John Sung. 603 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:22,240 In that very area, the greatest thing is 604 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,340 not ministry, but the presence of the living 605 00:23:24,340 --> 00:23:27,300 God in my life to control it in 606 00:23:27,300 --> 00:23:28,420 any way he wants. 607 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:31,040 But I have to take hands off and 608 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:34,100 say, Lord, from this moment to eternity, my 609 00:23:34,100 --> 00:23:35,820 spirit, soul and body are yours. 610 00:23:35,940 --> 00:23:38,280 My emotion, my will, anything. 611 00:23:39,420 --> 00:23:40,980 A glorious abandonment. 612 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:46,680 So long as you use me in some 613 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,320 way, whether it's behind the scenes, we've got 614 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:51,680 to stop this onslaught of our young people 615 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:54,080 of a couple of minutes, as I told 616 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:55,180 you last Friday night. 617 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:57,020 Last Friday was a prayer meeting. 618 00:23:57,340 --> 00:23:59,180 I'll, if I live a thousand years, I'll 619 00:23:59,180 --> 00:24:02,660 remember two women prayed before lunch at night, 620 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:03,480 half past 11. 621 00:24:03,580 --> 00:24:04,980 The man prayed till nearly 12. 622 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:06,480 By the way, we're going to meet in 623 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,280 that next room, Saturday night at what, seven? 624 00:24:09,900 --> 00:24:10,900 And I'm going to extend it. 625 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:11,820 I hope you'll come. 626 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:13,340 Don't come to preach. 627 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:15,680 Pray before you come and find what God 628 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:15,940 wants. 629 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:17,960 Next week is the most urgent week. 630 00:24:18,020 --> 00:24:19,760 We've only another week to go and the 631 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:21,080 glory is yet to be revealed. 632 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:23,280 But this young man stood up Friday night 633 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:24,720 with a holy indignation. 634 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,280 I've never seen anger upon a young man 635 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:29,620 since 1930. 636 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:30,920 That's 60 years ago. 637 00:24:31,580 --> 00:24:33,680 And here's a young American saying, oh God, 638 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,200 help us oppose the power of the devil. 639 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,200 Why are our young boys getting tied up 640 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:40,720 with drugs? 641 00:24:40,820 --> 00:24:42,220 Why are they dying with drugs? 642 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,560 Why are our girls getting venereal disease or 643 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:46,920 girls having babies? 644 00:24:47,460 --> 00:24:49,300 There's a holy indignation there. 645 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,140 I believe that anger is the other side 646 00:24:52,140 --> 00:24:55,420 of the coin or joy or jealousy is 647 00:24:55,420 --> 00:24:57,520 the other side of the coin of love. 648 00:24:57,720 --> 00:24:59,680 You cannot love God without your heart, without 649 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:01,120 being jealous for his glory. 650 00:25:01,660 --> 00:25:02,900 And that's what Samson wants. 651 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:04,500 He doesn't say, give me my eyes again. 652 00:25:05,180 --> 00:25:06,900 He doesn't say, give me my freedom from 653 00:25:06,900 --> 00:25:08,000 these rotten Philistines. 654 00:25:08,380 --> 00:25:09,980 He said, give me one anointing that will 655 00:25:09,980 --> 00:25:10,800 glorify you. 656 00:25:12,060 --> 00:25:13,580 Are you prepared to go on record like 657 00:25:13,580 --> 00:25:13,940 that? 658 00:25:14,380 --> 00:25:15,820 I'm not offering you a bargain. 659 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:17,620 I'm telling you angels are looking on. 660 00:25:17,620 --> 00:25:19,340 I'm telling you there are men in the 661 00:25:19,340 --> 00:25:21,480 graves who would love this opportunity today. 662 00:25:21,620 --> 00:25:24,960 We don't value life and the privileges that 663 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:26,260 God wants to put upon us. 664 00:25:26,620 --> 00:25:28,380 We're so narrow and limited. 665 00:25:29,460 --> 00:25:30,880 Let go and let God. 666 00:25:36,900 --> 00:25:39,060 Can Jesus see the trouble of your soul, 667 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:40,180 his soul right now? 668 00:25:46,140 --> 00:25:47,540 Do you want to come as we close 669 00:25:47,540 --> 00:25:49,520 and say, brother Ray, now I'm going to 670 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,580 tell God I'm willing to die to plans. 671 00:25:53,140 --> 00:25:54,740 I'm willing to die to everything. 672 00:25:55,380 --> 00:25:56,460 Some besetting sin. 673 00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:58,040 These limitations. 674 00:25:58,360 --> 00:25:59,300 Lord, I want to die. 675 00:25:59,420 --> 00:26:01,580 This is my burial place. 676 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:04,620 I'm going to die and never, never go 677 00:26:04,620 --> 00:26:06,660 back to those things again by the wonderful 678 00:26:06,660 --> 00:26:07,540 power of God. 679 00:26:12,940 --> 00:26:14,520 I say again, I'm not going to sing 680 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:15,400 and move you emotionally. 681 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:16,860 Make up your mind to do it. 682 00:26:17,940 --> 00:26:19,560 Make up your mind to be God's man, 683 00:26:19,700 --> 00:26:21,880 pure from your head to your feet, that 684 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,040 he can control your emotions, your life, your 685 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:24,740 will and everything. 686 00:26:27,260 --> 00:26:27,940 Come and die.
