The Advent, Testimony and Preparation Movement and this was a movement founded by F.E. Meyer and Dinsdale Young, the mighty Methodist preacher to get the church ready for the rapture and our meetings in London would average about 3,000 each meeting morning, afternoon and evening, every month and then every month we had services for the Advent, Testimony Movement right throughout the whole of Great Britain and then it moved onward to the British possessions in India and then South Africa, Australia, New Zealand but I am sad to say because of modernism and compromising with modernism that movement is dead, that movement is dead because the modernists do not want to hear about the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ and the believers are compromising with the modernist, many evangelicals and that movement dies and I would to God if we had four or five prophetical movements in my country and every one of them have died, those men our holy men of God, St. Taylor and many others many others believe that the church will be a rapture home to glory before the great tribulation but we don't need to argue about the coming of the Lord or whether we will be a rapture before the tribulation comes I believe like our beloved brother that coming such time is for dynamic Christianity in our churches men and women with a dynamic spirit our believers in our churches can't have a deep intimate knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ unless their spirit and when they stand, if they only have an emotional experience they won't stand, I don't know who to trust and I ask them, and many of our Baptist leaders in Russia are communist expats you see, and they are in the tea of the two of the communists and you know why, because they are afraid of the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ it's only those who are, we have many and as Peter said, if we could get everything they would be living in tiptoe when I running the same verse 35, by this shall 15, 14 now, the original sound if it were not so, I will come again and receive you unto myself both we know him and us believest thou not that I am or better not right here in verse 12 amen, amen, I say unto you he that believeth in me and greater works than and then ye shall laugh these shall he do because I go unto my Father now when we say Peter was a coward he was a coward and you know, if you know anything about facts and one of the and he cries and you remember he had a deep even the spirit and the he shall teach you and then coming to verse 25 of the next chapter the world might be fulfilled they hated me and then experiential come in you there are many things to see unto you but you cannot bear them you cannot understand them now he will guide you into him and come let the Holy Ghost speak in fact, what 14, 15, 16 is what we call the and discover the truth about the person that in answer to and of course that 33 therefore be that we may all our young converts in Europe a study to them that they really get the message and a verse a 39 and we ask them to mark the Father and he shall give you another and maybe communists and maybe Jews and maybe Russian and here in John 16 7 nevertheless I tell you if I depart I will send them unto you in all the world he is the crowning gift of he is the Father's we can go to places we can go to places and he says and a pastor James he was the Father's now you know when did the Lord Jesus pray this prayer the I beg this petition of a king oh no it's on the basis of equality and the Ascended Lord says and I often say in meetings if I find someone like our brother the song leader I usually say to them why don't you write a hymn or a poem or something about through from and these are majestic hymns and you know in in in come on how many could you tell through a Russian we can find very very and as the Holy Ghost comes up I know you ask me for anything he asked the Holy and friend I won't argue about the Holy and you see you either know him you see here in John 14 he said Lord Jesus the Savior came in answer to the prayer of every dear man of God and everybody has a truth about God and the here we have the glorious I think I would say John 15 John 16 and John 17 but you know we if you are fine with all now why is that it's because I believe we do not know and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and We have many sincere brothers and sisters all over the world and they're trying to make the Holy Spirit the figurehead of a movement. You cannot make the Holy Spirit the figurehead of any movement. He has come, He shall glorify me. And so the Holy Spirit keeps Himself in the background and says, behold the Lamb of God, and He magnifies the Lord Jesus Christ. Now, the Holy Spirit meets every need of the believer. He meets every need of the believer. And if you need help, if you need to know the Lord Jesus in a deeper, richer way, only the Holy Ghost can make Christ real and precious to you. Only the Holy Ghost can reveal Christ in all His magnificent beauty and glory. If you need power over sin, power over temptation, now, being filled with the Holy Ghost doesn't mean you'll be free from temptation. Oh no. The devil will be at your doorstep more than ever. But you'll have power over temptation. As dear old Matthew Henry used to say, we can't keep the birds flying over our heads, but we can keep them building an atlas off of our heads. But the Holy Ghost will meet your need, no matter what your need is. If you need of isolation, need of ignorance, whatever it may be. I can think, for example, of a boy, and he was blind boy. I was a boy, I think, 17 years old, and he would be 16 or 17, and he was my Bible teacher. And my dear friend, you know, a white walking cane to keep from being knocked down and killed by the car. And, you know, he worked, he studied his Bible. There's a heavy brew of Bibles in these days. And to get the Bible together was about maybe 20 big bulky boots. And yet that young boy, 17, was so proud of the Holy Ghost that he knew his Bible in a more deep, intimate way than all the preachers all around the countryside. Now, he would never be in a Bible school. Who taught him the Holy Ghost? And so there's no excuses and no alibis for the Christian when the Holy Ghost is here. And my dear friend, no matter what your need may be, it may be a bad temper. I was afraid to get saved because one reason why, I didn't want to be saved, first of all. And then when I come under conviction of sin, I was scared to get saved because I had a vicious bad temper. I must have inherited it from my Irish father, but my Irish father had a nice bad temper. You know, it was just mouth was droopy, corrupted, and then he had the strap. I mean, he would say, I ran out the door. I knew if I could just circle the block and come back, he'd forget. And then he would say, Jimmy, what's the strap for? I said, for me. And he'd burst out laughing. He said, OK, son, let's go. Now, go off if you want. And you see, he never, and if it hits you once, that's all. It was just finished. He didn't keep on all day hitting you. He's your very Christian. The next moment, he hits you. And I said to my mother once, I said, mother, well, you know, one father came and he, and another one came and smashed me right there. I said, I've got to get victory over this bad temper. Mother said, that's easy, son. Son, the very same Holy Spirit who indwelt the Lord Jesus, you've got the spirit of his son. Isn't that wonderful? Here tonight, at 15 years of age, you can ask for them all. My bad temper can meet that need. Maybe there's power, kind of preaching your own strength. He can give you that supernatural power.
