In this sermon, the speaker reflects on the current state of the nation and emphasizes the importance of knowing one's worth and the worth of others. The speaker shares their personal belief in staking everything on Jesus, whom they have never seen but have witnessed his transformative power in the lives of people. They describe the greatest miracle as the transformation of a life and give examples of individuals who have been lifted out of despair and given new purpose through their faith in Jesus. The speaker concludes by highlighting the significance of the spiritual birth and the ability of Jesus to bring about a complete change in a person's life.

And there doesn't really be no tenderness among the shouting, that's the reason. I think that's what has happened to our nation, it's a good thing, it'll bring all of us closer together. Like a family, at the time of death, you don't really know your wife until the youngsters at the point of death. You don't really know a person, you don't really know their worth, not worth. You don't really, until that hour of crisis, you don't really, don't really know. But I've never seen, and yet, I stake everything that I have, not only my life, I stake the destiny of my soul, life beyond the grave, and remember something. Homeless, prostitutes, lost, weak, that's not the end, it's just the beginning. I stake everything I have, not life itself, but that which is beyond this earthly life, when my own heart takes its last beat, that last beat, and I take my last breath. I stake everything I have on Him, one whom I have never seen, look on your feet. Do you feel sorry for me for being such a fool with you? You know, my friend, I have seen the way. I have seen His marvelous transforming power in the lives of men and women, the greatest miracle in the world, the transformation of a life. Do you know something? These physical things are so secondary, they're so psychedelic, psychedelic. It's marvelous to see a body here, just wonderful. It's glorious to have a woman stand before me, and to speak over me again. It's marvelous. I know that it's glorious to be with a gentleman that's so secondary. The greatest miracle in the world is that transformation of a life, and I have seen Him take a man's feet into Him. Out of the very gutter I have seen Him. I have seen Him so low-down, so worthless, so despicable. I have seen Him take him, clothe him in the garment of righteousness, cover his sins with that precious life, His own grace. I have seen an instantaneous thing. Not a gradual thing, but an instantaneous thing. Instantly. Salvation is a transaction. Salvation is accepting what Jesus Christ did on the cross for every man and every woman. When it comes to predestination, I believe that when Jesus died, He died with no exception whatsoever. He's not willing that any should perish, but that all should come into eternal life. I have seen Him take that man the lowest of the low, give him a new mind, give him new ambitions, new desires. All things passed away, and behold, all things have become new. A new creature in Christ Jesus, that which was born of the flesh is flesh, and that's something that we all have in common. Every man, every living human being has that one thing in common. We've been born of the flesh. But Jesus was talking about the second birth, the spiritual birth, that new birth experience. I've seen that burn, burn, that burn, burn of the flesh. In the friend's mall, and the woman has said, I have a new husband. And the kid who used to run from him, afraid when he came home drunk, now put their arms around him, and he loves. Who can transform a life like that in people? Only one. I've never seen Jesus. I've never heard Him speak. But I have seen the way. I'm satisfied. And if you don't know what I'm talking about today, I feel proud when I say the Holy Spirit. Those who know me best know how I've said over and over again, I'm completely dependent on the mighty third person, the Trinity, the Holy Spirit. When I say to you that the Holy Spirit is a person, He's more than just one of these attributes. He's more than an influence. The Holy Spirit is a person. As definitely as God the Father is a person, as definitely as Jesus Christ the Son is a person, the Holy Spirit is a person with a definite personality. And if ever I walk out on the stage or on the platform, and all know the truth that I have screamed with the Holy Spirit, the house of my life and my heart, I'll never again, I'll never again walk out on the stage or platform without too much pretense now in the ministry. And I'm not going to add to it. But ever, I'll stand behind the pulpit and the anointing of the Holy Spirit no longer comes upon me. It'll only be a mockery. Never again stand behind the pulpit. It's a sacred place. I'm no better than anyone else, what David meant in the word of God. And he cried out, Take not thy Holy Spirit from me. He can take everything I've got. And I tell him that, thank you. The angels that are coming to my body, you are my children of Israel. Take not thy Holy Spirit from me. I pray that you'll take me in death. And I say it sincerely before the angels, before the Father, before the Lord High Priest in the presence of the Holy Spirit, I pray that you'll take me in death before he takes the Holy Spirit from me, pours out the Holy Spirit. Oh, man. Oh, man. Sweet spring. Nine miles from Nepalia. I knew it from whence I had come. I'm completely detached from any significance, good or bad. You can say anything you want. You know, go to that call center, you can say anything you want about the courts. You're not back my way. You're not losing my power. Try it sometime. Say anything you want. You never say. You may not know what I'm talking about. You know, my friend, I follow the Holy Spirit. I follow him, you'll never know. I follow him. In a miracle service, I follow him. So close, so peaceful. There's not a crowd out there. You're so in tune with a person. You're so real with yourself. You're a person. A person. In this place today, in this auditorium, there is a person. God the Father sits upon his throne. In his right hand at this very moment, the position of the great high priest. The very Son of the living God, ever living to make a reception for you and for me. But in this place, this very moment, is the person of the Holy Spirit. The person to whom Jesus offered himself before he ever came to this earth in the form of life. The greatest gift that was ever given to the church. Let me say something again. To those of you in the gray charismatic room, sometimes I think we get so familiar with God. It's too familiar. We speak of him so lightly. There's a reason why we refer to him by Jesus himself as the Holy. In his presence, I feel like taking the strings from off my feet. We have forgotten how to worship. We have forgotten the holiness of the mighty, strong person that's in us. Sometimes I think we have become too familiar with things that are so. I could never tell you even about the Holy Spirit. I could never. Maybe it's because I'm so completely dependent upon him. You see, when I tell you I have never seen him, one of whom, I can honestly say take everything. But don't leave him. Don't leave me. Don't leave me. You're calling me a fool. But I say publicly that I've never seen him. He's never spoken an audible word to me. But I've seen the evidence. I've seen the way. I've seen the manifestation. You don't understand. You just don't understand. You can't analyze the things that I've been talking about today. You don't analyze God. You don't analyze Jesus. You don't analyze the Holy Spirit. You don't analyze miracles. No. The Father didn't say, give me greater proof. Give me greater proof. I have to see Joseph first. I have to look upon the face of my son first before I believe. I have to hear his voice first before I can believe. No. When he saw the way, my son is alive. I'll go to him. My son is alive. My heavenly Father is alive. My heavenly Father. And he needs no defense. My wonderful baby is alive. Every day I'll go to him. He's alive. He's alive. There isn't a doubt right now. There isn't a doubt. I can only tell you, because it isn't the Holy Spirit of the person. So everyone will answer forever. They'll be saved. Could never save. You can answer the question of the Holy Spirit from now forever. You can answer the fact in the wind. Let's do practice. Recently talking with Colonel Ernst, a great astronaut, with black eyes, he said, you know, Captain, to me, by that gentleman, I felt the pressure that I had never known this pressure to begin telling you some of this wonderful, beautiful experience with that man because the pressure I might have said, Colonel Ernst, have you ever seen the wind when you walked on the moon? Have you ever seen the wind? It would be such a silly question, such a small question. One of our greatest astronauts is probably with a smile. His eyes, with an inkling. He'd say, oh, I know. No. No one has seen the wind. I know. But there isn't a person living. He does not accept the fact of the wind because you see the wind stop from the force of that wind. You do not deny that the wind blows just because you have not seen the wind. I stand before you and remember something. The Bible needs no defense. God needs no defense. You need no defense. The Holy Spirit needs no defense. I'm not defending a thing. I've only lifted the lip of my heart and I'm telling you why I believe. The heart can see the Holy Spirit and you and I cannot see the Holy Spirit in this place of the earth. But we see the wind stop from the force of the head-bound of the Holy Spirit. In a moment like this, when I feel like looking up and saying, forgive me, Father, for not having told it better, I'm so limited, so limited in my vocabulary. I'm so limited, so limited. These things have been told to you by the Spirit, child. And only the Spirit can reveal. Only the Spirit can make the things that I've been talking about real to you. Only the Spirit. Flesh and blood have not revealed unto me, but my Father, which is in me. Right now, when you're sitting, and I do not believe that I've ever done this before, I don't think at this time, before a miracle service, I've got to be ordained in the Spirit. When you're sitting there, we make this entire auditorium alter. I want every person in this place to say, Catherine Kuhn, I've never had that spiritual experience of being born again. I have never been born again. I have to know it. When you're here in the Moon Sanctuary, or when you're in the other auditoriums, you play circuits. It's something that's personal. It's something that's very personal. You must be born again. I have got to know it because there's something much more vitally important. And it comes from your heart. It's what's in you. Way down deep in that heart that you're sitting there. That sinful prayer. And so dear Jesus, that's what I want. I want to be born again. I want you to forgive my sins. I want the blood of Jesus Christ, the God Son, to cleanse me from all sin. That's what I want. That's what I want. That's what I want more than anything else in the world. I can't have you come part of this place that's too small. But I want you to do something that's Holy Spirit is present that permeates this entire auditorium. It's as sacred as bone you are standing in this auditorium of God. Forget there's anyone else here in this auditorium. I'm going to pray the prayer from this place. I want every person in this auditorium to say, That's what I want. I want Jesus to forgive my sins. And the scripture says, You're coming to me just enough to stand me. And that person will say, That's what I want. Stand right now. And I'm going to pray right on this purpose. Stand up right now. Every person will say, That's what I want. I want that you just stand. Just stand right wherever you are in the auditorium. I'm not asking you to come part of the car that's waiting in the front. Just stand and say, That's what I want. I want that new birth experience. I want Jesus to forgive my sins. Just stand right and they're still standing. Everybody who knows how to pray. Everybody, every person in this place who knows how to pray, pray right now. The other auditoriums, when they have closed circuits, just standing, Jesus will hear that prayer there. That's right. Just standing in the other auditorium. Just stand right there as though you were standing before the throne of God. It's so simple. If we confess our sins, He is able and just to forgive us our sins. It's so simple. All we say is, Dear Jesus, I come. Dear Jesus, I confess I'm a sinner. I know I'm a sinner. I know I'm a sinner. And the only person who's sinful cannot forgive that, then he'll not confess he's a sinner. Unashamedly, all over the auditorium, right out loud, all of us, say, Dear Jesus, say it again. I confess I'm a sinner. I know I'm a sinner. I'm sorry for my sins. Come into my heart. I promise to live for you from this moment on. Help me just as I am, for Jesus' sake. Amen. In this moment, I pray that your spirit, the Holy Spirit, shall bear witness. Oh, that witness. The Holy Spirit shall bear witness with every man.
