Sermon Transcription
Through me God, give me the grace that I don't have to utterly forgive those who wronged me or failed me. Love them through me God, that they may see Christ in me and nothing else. Give me this grace till the day I die, not by effort of my own but spontaneously in my every reaction. No matter how trying the circumstance, they may see the fruit of the Holy Spirit, which is Christ. I ask this in Jesus Christ's name, out of love for him. Amen. Well now beloved, God bless you. I know it cost you to come up here, but it would have cost you so much more if you hadn't. And I believe that above that you've asked God tonight, he will give you. Above that you've asked God tonight, he will give you that grace and he will give forgiveness in the hearts of those that you failed, that you thought were the failures. He will give them the grace, I believe with all my heart, as they look at your eyes and your lives from now on, to start trusting your religion and your testimony and to respect you. I believe that with all my heart. God bless you deeply. I'm here for two more nights and I thank you for coming. I thank you from my heart for coming. Will you pray for me please? I think I came up here half a man tonight. They've made me preach so much this last weekend and then I flew and traveled. I had to get up three this morning and I think I slept about three hours and altogether in the last 24 hours. Will you pray just God's touch on my body, my life, my mind, that tomorrow I may just come anointed by God. I do trust that somehow God will so visit our hearts in these three meetings, these three days, that we will never recover. The fruit of our lives will go on and on and on and on and on from these three days. Now that's if you seek God with me. I want you all to pray for this weak man. I know I'm nothing and I don't have to be reminded, God. Please don't remind me, God. But I want you all to pray for this weak man, this base man, that God will touch him, anoint him in such a way that none of us, none of us, will escape God's deepest message tomorrow night and that we will none of us recover from what God does. If you pray for that, He will do it. If you look past this man and past yourselves and just all look to God for me, for God to guide me what to preach and God to so anoint me and anoint your hearts with me and the atmosphere that God will make it so holy that He will visit us and set us so afire and make us so Christ-like that we will walk from this place to stagger the world and the powers of darkness with what God does in our lives. I know He wants to. Will you pray for that, though? And will you bring others tomorrow night? Will you bring others if you can and you're in the circumstance and surrounding area of people you know? If you're visitors, you can't. Just bring yourselves prayerfully, but will you drag others? Perhaps try and drag your enemy. You'll be stunned how they'll come if you look at them differently with God's grace. You'll be stunned how you look at them tonight, if you phone them up to see them tomorrow morning. Try and bring even your enemies. See what God can do through them, even if it's your father-in-law, okay? It's amazing what God can do through us, if He can love through us. Oh, let God do that through all of you standing out there tonight also, but oh, spend time in prayer. Fellowship is lovely, you know, and while you're here, I know you'll have that, but oh, fellowship with God. Try and do as much of that as you can in these few days, but come to these meetings, these last two meetings, to seek God, His voice alone. Now, I think a lot of you have traveled far, and I'm sure you're longing to go to your knees to be with Jesus, so if you need that, then don't linger. Go home, go to your rooms, go to the hotels or go wherever you're staying at, and try and get along with Jesus now that you've done this commitment here tonight. May God wonderfully bless you all now. I really mean that. My heart longs for you all to walk with God. Let's just have one moment of silent prayer, and then we're going to go. I wonder if everyone here tonight will just speak to Jesus now alone. Just for one minute, say something that will thrill heaven, even you, young boy. Say something that will thrill Jesus Christ's heart, but say it before you leave this place about what you want for Him to do in your life. Every one of us, just speak to God for a moment, and then I'm going to say, Amen. Now, God, answer these prayers in mercy, because we all ask them in the name of Jesus Christ, and because we all ask them wanting to please thee, God. Amen. Now, bless you all. I wonder if I could make a suggestion before we all move here tonight. Brother, you can come stand here. You've obviously got something to say. Please come here. I wonder if I could make some sort of a suggestion. I'm going to ask that I saw how the mothers battled here tonight, and I agonized with you, and I'm sorry that there's nowhere for you to go. That isn't the fault of anyone, but perhaps so that you don't have to walk out in the cold, as I saw some of you doing, and there's nowhere really to go, we're going to try and make a plan, and I think this dear man and a little army with him is going to make one of these loudspeakers go into some room right close to this hall that's just out of where you're not going to feel in the way, and you're not going to feel obliged to walk out the door like some of you did, or stand all night in the back there holding your baby. So we're going to make a plan, and tomorrow the moment your little baby cries that you feel, and you can just go someplace we'll show you before, our brother will show you. We've got loudspeakers, we're just going to get a long cord, and we're going to make sure that you're out there, and you're not worrying, and this poor dear old man isn't going to stand here nearly fainting in the pulpit, trying to concentrate while I watch you all agonizing back there with your poor babies crying like that. So we're going to do something for those of you, you please stay in the meeting with your children, I believe that's right. At the moment you feel that you just want to go somewhere if the child is crying, then don't stand in the back or walk into the cold like this tonight, like you did. I want you to go and sit down in some room we're going to get where your baby can cry his heart out, and we'll have a loudspeaker loud, okay? And even though that thing's lovely to have brother, that's going to put off okay? So that we can just have quietness tomorrow night. Sorry that a preacher tells you to do all that, and it's not your fault brother, you've done the best you can, okay? God wonderfully bless you all. Now our brother would like to say something, probably about what time tomorrow, and so I'm going to give him the loudspeaker so he can just remind you clearly of what's going on the next two days. Thank you. Thank you brother Keith. Tomorrow night we will probably have a closed-circuit TV, tonight we had some difficulties getting things to work. I think we know what we need, so we'll be a little bit better set up tomorrow night. And also tomorrow night we will start soon after 7 o'clock, now that we all know how to get here.
