In this sermon, the preacher emphasizes the importance of staying faithful to the word of God and the unveiling of Jesus Christ. Those who defy God's authority and resist the unveiling of Christ will face judgment. Their hearts will be opened to the spirit of the world, which will swallow them and cause them to fade away from the congregation. The preacher urges the church to have a holy boldness and to be a light in the midst of darkness, proclaiming the glory of Christ and acknowledging that He is alive.

It is Christ in you that is the hope of God. It is Christ that gave me life. It is Christ that carries me through my days. It is Christ that makes me all that I am. It is Christ that will lay me in the grave when I die, and it is Christ that will resurrect me from the dead when it is all over. Let them acknowledge that Christ is alive. Let them see Christ in us should be the cry of the church. This is not an hour for the church to be ducking and hiding and looking for its own safety. This is an hour to be standing on a hill as a burning bright light in the midst of a darkened time, saying, Jesus, let your glory, let your glory, let your glory be manifested in my life, oh God. Make me a hundred times more than I am. Set me in a hundred places more than I can naturally go. Let there be an outflow of my life, of this living water that you promised that you would give to all who placed their trust in you. Even him who he has chosen will he cause to come near to him. This is an incredible thing. There are many, many people who claim to be holy. Many people who claim to be leaders. Many people who claim to have some kind of spiritual insight. But God says, there is a line of demarcation that I draw and no man can cross it. Those that are mine, I cause them to come near to me. And the evidence that they are near to me is that there is a change. They are constantly changing from image to image and glory to glory as by the Spirit of God. They are not proud. They are not stubborn. They are not resistors of God. They are not looking for power and position. They are not trying to gain influence over men's lives for anything other than for the glory of God. There is no other reason. Their sense of accomplishment is not in the size of their ministry. It is in the fact that they have obeyed God. They have stood before God. They have a clean conscience. And one day, their whole heart says, I just want to stand before Him and hear Him say, Well done, thou good and faithful servant. You have been faithful in a few things. Is it a small thing that God has come to you? And God has saved you out of darkness? And God has called you? But now, you are becoming your own priest. You are becoming your own standard, your own authority. You are now the judge of what is right and wrong. You are now the judge of what is holy and what is unholy. And God is no longer able to unveil Himself to you. He cannot draw you to Himself. Because you have another standard, you become your own priest. And folks, this happens through the church age. It happens to the heart of the unwary Christian. Where we actually become our own standard. God cannot speak anymore. Because we, in our own pride, become the judges of what is right and what is wrong. What is holy and what is unholy. What is clean, what is pure. And we set up a whole other temple. Now folks, here is exactly what happens in the New Testament church. Those who defy the authority of God in the unveiling of Jesus Christ, their judgment is a sudden opening of that which comes from the mouth of the earth into their hearts. They have defied the word of God. They defied the unveiling of Jesus Christ. So their hearts now are open to the spirit of the world. And the spirit of the world literally opens its mouth and swallows them. And they disappear from the congregation. They fade away. They lose their zeal for God. They throw their hands in disgust. They walk away. They follow other ideologies. Their hearts and minds open to other voices. And the very spirit that is animating this Babylon system of this world that is going to perish, comes and swallows them. And I've seen it so many times now as a Christian man and as a pastor over the earth. People resist the unveiling of Christ. And these other voices now begin to come. And these other theologies begin to manifest. And it's really the spirit of this world that is in rebellion to God, opens wide its mouth and begins to swallow them. And all that pertains to them, suddenly gone. The blessing that could have been theirs, the materials, gone. This indwelling of Christ, gone. Their future, gone. Their children, gone. Their heritage, gone. Their ministry, gone. And they disappear from among the congregation. And they end up in a place of seeking comfort and solace from that which comes from them. Hearts and spirits and minds of fallen men. They end up with theologies that deny the blood of Jesus Christ because they can't see the magnificence of it anymore. They deny the cross because they can't see the cross. They don't understand why. Their gospel is powerless. Their hope for the future is just vague smog. Their whole perception of God is illusory and almost gone. And we're seeing in our generation multitudes in the professing church being swallowed by the spirit of this age, losing sight of the eternal Christ. God help us if we don't speak about His blood. God help us if we don't speak about His cross. God help us if we don't confront men in their sin and rebellion against the Holy God. God help us. Oh, beloved, there has to be a church in this generation. There has to be a people. The people of God have stood confused for too long. Listening to too many voices. Setting up too many false standards. There has to be a voice that speaks for God. There has to be a people in this last hour of time for the sake of Christ and for the sake of those that He has created and loves with all of His heart. There has to be a voice. And God has ordained that you are that voice. And I am that voice. We are the church of Jesus Christ. It's not left to a few individuals. It's not left to a few high profile ministers. It is you. It is me. It is in our daily walk, our daily life. It's in our home. It's with our children. It's with our families. It's in our workplace. It's as we go down the street. It's on the subway. We are called to be the ones who have the answer to a generation that lives in darkness and without God. We can be bold. But we don't have to have an unholy boldness. We can have a holy boldness. If our hearts are set in tune with the heart of God. If we're not resisting this unveiling of Christ. I can walk right into the presence of God. By the blood of Jesus Christ. With a true heart and an assurance that God is for me and not against me. That God will lift me up and not cast me down. That God will make me more than I am. He'll give me power and strength over my own infirmities and every one of my enemies. That he will cause me to stand in an evil time. Not backing away. Not towering. But facing the giants of this generation. And our bodies washed with pure water. This word is described clearly as the water of God. The living water of God. My body washed. This constant flood of cleansing. This constant revelation of Jesus. Coming into this temple and cleansing out everything that offends his nature. That I can stand in the last day. And having done all like the Apostle Paul to stand when it's all over. God Almighty. I pray that you take away from us all religious pretending. All hiding. All self-righteousness. All justification of sin. All association with false theology. Lord God I pray. I pray with all my heart. That you raise this church up a testimony. In this city. And throughout the world. Of the life of Christ. Now God this is impossible to man. But it's possible with you. You said all things are possible with you. Oh Jesus I'm asking. For a grace to touch us today. For those who are living in fornication. Those oh God who are listening to wrong voices. Those who are playing games. To have the courage. To drop this unholy boldness. This unholy censure before God. And to yield. To bend their knee. Before you Jesus. God let it begin in my heart. I pray Father. That you do something supernatural in this church. That only you can do. I pray for victory and freedom for those that are captivated by besetting sin. I pray God for prison doors to open to those who are tormented by the lies of the devil. I pray God for courage. To come into the hearts of those who are afraid of tomorrow. I pray that you do what only you can do. You raise up a people who are set on a hill. Who have a voice oh God. Who have a confidence. That cannot be taken away by wind and fire and flood. I pray Father do it today. Do it powerfully. Do it sovereignly. Oh God. Oh God. Oh God. I cry out to you with everything in my heart. To come and be God to us. Be God to this assembly. Do what only you can do Jesus. We long for your appearing. Lord Jesus we want the unveiling of who you are. We want to know your heart. We are not looking to hide. We are not looking to run. We want to glorify you in this last hour of time.
