This sermon emphasizes the importance of seeking God desperately for revival, drawing parallels from the stories of King Josiah and Ezra in the Bible. It highlights the need for the Church to separate from worldly influences, to preach the full Word of God fearlessly, and to avoid compromising with the world. The message urges believers to return to a deep reverence for the Scriptures, to live in holiness, and to seek God's face earnestly for a true spiritual awakening.

Father, we thank you that as we bow before our God, we can worship thee in spirit and in truth. Above all, for our Savior, thy Son, Jesus the Christ. For the Holy Spirit, the person of the Holy Spirit, who shall not speak of himself, but shall glorify Christ. And so we glorify Christ in our worship tonight and in gratitude to thee. Come, our God, and through the Word of God, anointed by the Holy Spirit, speak to our hearts, in Jesus Christ's name. And for his sake and glory only, we all ask these things of thee, our Father in heaven. Amen. 2 Kings 22, verse 1. The Zion, Josiah was eight years old, was eight years old when he began to reign. And he reigned, he reigned thirty and one years in Jerusalem. Thus do, and he did that which was right. He did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, and walked in all the way of David, his father, and turned not aside to the right hand, but to the left. Now, beloved, this remarkable and noble tribute, recorded in God's sacred Word, was given of young King Josiah, who reigned over the southern kingdom of Judah from 640 to 609 BC. Undoubtedly, undoubtedly under the guardianship of Judah's elders during his youth. 2 Chronicles 34, verse 3-7 records that he began to seek the Lord. He began to seek the Lord at the age of 16, during his eighth year on the throne. And at the age of 20, at the age of 20, he courageously and uncompromisingly stood against all the evils of the land, which the nation had embraced during the decadent reigns of his grandfather and father, King Manasseh and King Ammon, who, 2 Chronicles 33, verse 9 records, who made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to err and to do worse than the heathen, worse than the heathen. Then, in 622 BC, at the age of 26, Josiah authorized and commissioned Hilkiah, the high priest, to oversee the repairing and the restoration of the temple of God in Jerusalem. The repairing and the restoration of the temple of God in Jerusalem. And it was then that Hilkiah, the high priest, discovered something that brought the nation to a standstill, that brought the nation to a standstill. 2 Kings 22, verse 8, and Hilkiah, the high priest, said unto Shaphan the scribe, I have found the book, I have found the book of the Lord in the house of the Lord. And Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan, and he read it. He read it. Verse 10, and Shaphan the scribe showed the king, saying, Hilkiah, the priest, hath delivered me a book, and Shaphan read it before the king. And it came to pass, it came to pass when the king had heard the words of the book of the Lord, that he rent his clothes, he rent his clothes. And as he tore his garment, verse 19 records that he rent his clothes and wept before God, and wept before God. Chapter 23, verse 1, and the king sent, the king sent, and they gathered unto him, they gathered unto him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem. And the king went up into the house of the Lord, and all the men of Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, all the people, both small and great. And he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant which was found. And the king stood by a pillar and made a covenant before the Lord to walk after the Lord, and to keep his commandment, and his testimony, and his statutes with all their heart, and all their soul to perform the words of this covenant that were written in this book. And all the people, all the people stood to the covenant. Now beloved, although this is beyond doubt one of the greatest events recorded in biblical history, although this is beyond doubt one of the greatest events recorded in biblical history, it tragically, it tragically was not a true revival. It was at the most the obligated response, the obligated response of the nation to their godly young king's desperate longing for them as his people to seek God and to serve him with all their hearts as he so nobly had done from youth. But it was an imposed national reformation. It was an imposed national reformation and did not reach the hearts of the people who were steeped in apostasy and sin, steeped in apostasy and sin as a result of the decadent evil reigns of their former monarchs. And although God mercifully stole his righteous judgment upon them, until after the death of their godly young king in 605 BC Nebuchadnezzar marched the Babylonian army against Judah, taking into captivity Jehoiakim, Jehoiachin, Josiah's son, together with all the extended royal family and all the nobility across the land and throughout that land with all the temple treasure. Then in 597 BC the Babylonians marched a second time against Judah, this time taking into captivity the entire Judean army with all prominent people and craftsmen, all prominent people and craftsmen throughout the land. Then in 587 BC they besieged Jerusalem. They besieged Jerusalem and eventually destroyed the city completely, destroyed the city completely. 48 years later, 48 years later in 539 BC Cyrus, king of the Medo-Persian empire, conquered Babylon, conquered Babylon and then no doubt through the influence of the godly prophet Daniel, he not only sanctioned but he also financed a return expedition of the Judeans, of the Jews back to Judah, to Jerusalem to rebuild the temple of the living God, he said, of the living God. And so in 537 BC 42,360 Judeans returned to Jerusalem. 42,360 Judeans returned to the holy land and to Jerusalem led by Chesh Bazar and Zerubbabel. The rebuilding and restoration of the temple of God was eventually completed in 516 BC. Later in 458 BC a second return expedition, exodus back from captivity in Babylon to the holy land, a second expedition was sanctioned by Artaxerxes, to whom queen Esther was married. Artaxerxes authorized an uncomprehendably God-fearing man, an uncomprehendably God-fearing man called Ezra to oversee and to lead the expedition. Thirteen years later, a third and final return of the Judeans from Babylonian captivity to Judah and to Jerusalem was led by Nehemiah. And so there were three deportations and three returns, three deportations into captivity in Babylon from Judah and three returns from captivity in Babylon back to Judah and Jerusalem and Israel as a whole. But tonight I particularly, tonight I particularly want to consider the second return in 458 BC, sanctioned by Artaxerxes and led and overseen by the uncomprehendably God-fearing Ezra. We read in the book of Ezra chapter 7 verse 6, this Ezra, this Ezra went up from Babylon and he, he was a ready scribe in the law of Moses, that is he was skilled in the law of Moses. Verse 10, for Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the law of the Lord, that is to study the law of the Lord and to do it and to teach in Israel statutes and judgments. For Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the law of the Lord and to do it, literally for Ezra had devoted himself to the study and observance of the law of the Lord and to teaching its decrees and laws in Israel. Now beloved, upon their return to the holy land on the 4th of August 458 BC, Ezra set himself to the task, Ezra set himself to the task of recording the names and their tribes of every single person that had returned from captivity in Babylon to Judea before him and with him. He then, he then allocated, he then allocated competent and godly men into positions of authority to restore order and governance throughout the land. He then wrote in chapter 9 verse 1, now when these things were done, when these things were done, the princes, the princes came to me saying, the people, the people of Israel and the priests and the Levites have not separated themselves from the people of the land, doing according to their abominations, doing according to their abomination. Verse 3, and when I heard, when I heard this thing, I rent my garment, I rent my garment and my mantle and plucked off the hair of my head and of my beard and sat down, astonished. Then were assembled unto me everyone that trembled at the words of the God of Israel because of the transgression of those that had been carried away and I sat astonished until the evening sacrifice and at the evening sacrifice I rose up from my heaviness and having rent my garment and my mantle, I fell upon my knees and spread out my hand unto the Lord my God and said, oh my God, I am ashamed, I am ashamed and blessed to lift up my face to thee my God for our iniquities are increased over heads and our trespasses grown up unto the heavens. Verse 10, for we have forsaken thy commandments, we have forsaken thy commandment. Chapter 10 verse 1, now when Ezra had prayed and when he had confessed, weeping and casting himself down before the house of God, there assembled unto him, there assembled unto him out of Israel a very great congregation of men and women and children for the people wept, the people wept very sore, that is the people wept bitterly. Nehemiah 8 verse 1, and all the people gathered themselves together, all the people gathered themselves together as one man that is unitedly into the street that was before the water gate and they spake unto Ezra the scribe, they spake unto Ezra the scribe to bring the book, bring the book, bring the book of the law of Moses which the Lord had commanded to Israel and Ezra the priest brought the law before the congregation, both of men and women and all that could hear with understanding upon the first day of the seventh month and he read therein before the street that was before the water gate from the morning until midday before the men and the women and those that could understand and the ears of all the people were attentive unto the book of the law and Ezra the scribe stood upon a pulpit of wood which they had made for the purpose. Verse 5 and Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people and when he opened it all the people stood up and Ezra blessed the Lord the great God and all the people answered amen, amen with lifting up their hands and they bowed their heads and worshiped the Lord with their faces to the ground. Verse 7b and the Levites called the people to understand the law, the Levites called the people to understand the law and the people stood in their place so they read in the book in the law of God distinctly and gave the sense that is they expounded and caused them to understand the reading. Verse 9b and the Levites that taught the people said unto all the people this day is holy unto the Lord your God mourn not no weep for all the people wept all the people wept when they heard the words of the law. Verse 10b for the joy the joy of the Lord is your strength the joy of the Lord is your strength. Verse 13 and on the second day were gathered together the chief of the fathers of all the people the priests and the Levites unto Ezra the scribe even to understand even to understand the words of the law. Chapter 9 verse 2 and the seed of Israel the seed of Israel separated themselves from all strangers from all the ungodly heathens the seed of Israel separated themselves from all strangers and stood and confessed their sins and the iniquities of their fathers and they stood up in their place and read in the book of the law of the Lord their God one fourth part of the day and another fourth part they confessed and worshipped the Lord their God worshipped the Lord their God the greatest and most urgent need the greatest and most urgent need of our world today is for the church of the Lord Jesus Christ worldwide the greatest and most urgent need of our world today is for the church of our Lord Jesus Christ to begin to seek God desperately for revival to seek God desperately for revival as desperately as these the people of God did here under the ministry the life and ministry of this godly man called Ezra but the greatest danger this world faces today the greatest danger this entire world faces today is if the church of our Lord Jesus Christ worldwide refuses to begin to seek God desperately for revival refuses to seek God desperately for revival as desperately as these the people of God did as recorded here in the old testament through the life and ministry of this godly man called Ezra sow to yourselves sow to yourselves in righteousness church of Christ reap reap in mercy break up your fallow ground for it is time to seek the Lord it is time to seek the Lord till he come and reign righteousness upon you hosiah chapter 10 verse 12 oh church of God oh church of God it is time to seek the Lord desperately desperately when when the word of God lies buried in the ruins of today's compromising evangelical churches and movements worldwide it is time to seek God desperately when the word of God lies buried in the ruins of today's compromising evangelical churches and movements worldwide and has been replaced dangerously and sacrilegiously replaced with entertainment entertainment with entertainment and entertainment is the devil's substitute for joy the great Leonard Ravenhill cried entertainment is the devil's substitute for joy that I would dare to add to this profound statement of Mr. Ravenhill entertainment in the house of God is the devil's substitute and counterfeit of the joy of the Lord the joy of the Lord which is the result of repentance and confession and pursuit of God's righteousness with all our hearts and souls concerning every facet of his holy commandments throughout the sacred book the church of our Lord Jesus Christ generally worldwide has buried the sharp edge of the sword deliberately and carefully and brazenly for fear of offense for fear of offense and has replaced it with entertainment dangerously replaced it with entertainment to draw the crowds and keep them happy rather than to preach this book distinctly no matter what the cost that is faithfully fully uncompromisingly unapologetically fearlessly our old preacher said I'd rather have three rows filled with people who want the full word of God without restriction or apology than to have a church full of hypocrites like you all are or did he pay the price but within three years that church had turned to God because who wanted the book even though everyone cried out you're out if you ever preach these things again oh the church generally has replaced the holy scriptures being preached distinctly fearlessly every aspect of the word of God fearlessly no matter what the consequences are sir and replaced it with sacrilegious entertainment by entertainers that tragically emulate most of the godless entertainers of the world in their showmanship even in their dress code everything is the world brought into the church and all we have is a stage of worldly entertainment to keep what the world happy in the church and going to hell but that doesn't matter it's the crowd that spells success it's the tenth their tithing that spells my success don't offend stop preaching this book this day even if they go to hell oh you don't say it but what are you doing you say I'm angry when I preach yes so is Christ in indignation at the mockery of God's house and God's religion by the religious leaders of the ordained religion of God when Christ came on earth all church has not the time of come for us to cry as one man as one man that is unitedly to the leaders of the evangelical movements and churches worldwide bring the book bring back the bible all the blood is on your hands forever did Christ have said it yes indignation sir lady church of God the time has come for us to seek God desperately in the word of God lies buried in the rooms of today's compromising evangelical churches and movements worldwide and has been replaced firstly with entertainment secondly with so called prophecy and endless manifestations this thing that has happened to a large percentage throughout the entire world of what is called the evangelical fundamental church of the Lord Jesus Christ their prophecy and manifestations endless may have replaced the authority of God's word which is literally buried apart from the few isolated verses most out of their context and not in the light of the rest of the chapter of scriptures which don't say what they say prophecy they have bible colleges they have theological institutes with one thing that people go to learn how to prophesy they have some prophetic utterance prophetic words from God listen carefully for God's sake church of Christ this book is the thinnest prophecy the complete prophecy of God we dare not add to it we dare not take away from it we dare not add to this book the day we allow one man to say he has further revelation and prophetic utterance from God's today we open ourselves to danger gullible dangerous territory doctrinally as individuals we can be accused as churches as nations as entire movements we can be told this book buried in the chaos and confusion of so much of today's modern evangelical churches and movements doctrinally through their so-called prophetic ministry and endless manifestations that have literally taken all authority taken the place of any authority of this book preached distinctly that is fearlessly fully uncompromisingly unapologetically faithfully in its entirety I dare you who say you have messages from God just to get back to this book the prophecy listen John Wesley sorry Luther Calvin Zwingli many others that are missing out Wesley and on and on and on all agree Wesley actually redefined on all the statements of the great church leaders of the reformation to come up with this conclusion in this statement that they all agreed that the word prophecy in this dispensation as edifying as a gift from God that enjoyment from God is nothing more and nothing less than anointed preaching Barry Luther then you you you prophets Bethy Barry Wesley call him an heretic erroneous who are you are you in dangerous territory and putting the church in terrible danger of men saying anything you see Peter tells us in 1 Peter 2 3 prophecy of the word the prophecy of the word of God when men would stand before Christ and say Lord have we not prophesied in their name it is clearly taught in every single commentary of every single man that ever moved the multitudes in this world to God without exception that expounded commentated as anointed functionized preaching and teaching of the holy wit of God in the light of eternity Wesley's perfect wording that's all it is preachers who cry have we not preached in thy name in this context agreed with by the greatest theologians that ever lived and are you to say they are heretic sir now that you have taken over with bearing the book and have further revelation oh be careful church of Christ has not the time come for us to cry to the leaders of these movements and the preachers of these movements unitedly as one man unitedly until they unnerve and what they're doing bring back the book for God's sake bring the book bring my book back we dare you and preach with anointed unsanitized preaching and expounding of the holy wit of God in the light of eternity or get out of the pulpit for everyone's sake and gullibility heap to themselves teachers having itching ears who turn away their ears from the truth who receive anything including this that is buried God's word oh thank you God we need to desperately unitedly cry out in the word of God when the word of God lies buried in the wounds of the chaotic confused manifestation when the word of God lies buried in the wounds of today's compromising evangelical churches and movements worldwide generally and has been replaced firstly with entertainment secondly with manifestations with prophetic utterances and endless manifestations thirdly through hyper dispensationalism now i of course agree with any sane person who's truly born again and reads and studies this book as the goal of every day of his life let alone in his life i agree of course there's dispensations that we have in the bible of course there's dispense i am a dispensationist of course we are but when you allow our teachers to dispense of between 80 and 90 percent of the entire bible as irrelevant that's doing the devil's work church of christ you're busy doing the devil's work how can we allow them let me shock you in the most evangelical fundamental institutes throughout the world today there are tragic teachings going on in your greatest and most trusted in the past years of evangelical fundamental teachers they are teaching that between 80 and 90 percent of the entire bible is irrelevant sir we're in danger of giving them a beautiful black leather covered book with a few pages left they have the right to preach on that's even relevant and that is not meaningless to today's dispensation the gospel dispensation i wonder if the day is not coming when the institutions we once revered and send our children to and preachers do not when they hand them their degrees at the end of their course and ordainment they'll hand together with their degrees that they've been brainwashed with beautifully hard black leather covered there's not one page in it left to preach on and let me tell you church of christ from my soul if we let them alone and do not rise up and cry out as one man unitedly to unnerve and to stop these people because of the academic authority we're too are we no we do not rise up and cry out bring back the book give us back the whole bible sir don't teach or tell us that 90 is irrelevant for us to preach from or believe in could in any way have any rightful place to be brought from the pulpit of god anymore who in their right mind that hasn't lost totally their sensibility spiritually could honestly endorse what is happening because of academic principles and professors theologically i'm almost scared to say get a doctorate the time has come i believe for the church to redefine fundamentalism fundamental evangelical you should stand alone of every denomination that's one in a whole denomination fundamental what does that mean so i don't ask you if you believe in all today's modern translations in all today's modern compromising teachings but bury this book mostly in its entirety i ask you do you still believe and endorse that every word from genesis one to revelation is relevant of course we know the context but in the light of the rest of the scriptures it's vital to know the heart of god there's nothing in this book we didn't need to understand even the cross even to grasp something of the meaning of the cross to understand the teachings of the new testament that have taken nearly 80 percent of the old testament is the new testament almost word perfect this side of calvary and in their context but in the light of all the rest of the scriptures we need to teach what god put two-thirds of the bible was that a mistake and not for the church by the way but for this generation who suddenly have wisdom that outweighs spurge and wesley these men never ever though they believed in the dispensations that are vital they never turned the rest of bibles irrelevant they preached from it they expounded they taught the people until nations turned to god under their ministry and you sir what do you leave our preachers to bring the nations back to god with the time has come for us to see god desperately desperately when the word of god lies buried brazenly and sacrilegiously and blushingly in the rooms of today's modern compromising evangelical movements and churches worldwide and has been replaced with entertainment firstly with so-called prophecy and endless manifestations with hyper extreme dispensationalism and fourthly through most of the new translation of our bible which buried the text that with king james it was good enough for the spurges the wesley the greatest preachers that moved the world to god in their millions you never ever questioned the authority of this and now take the new versions and find me a page especially the new testament that does not have written this verse is not found in the oldest manuscripts that is where scott and hortz manuscript that all almost every new version 99 percent some man said to me has endorsed and thrown away the text that was faithful that moved millions to god and never doubted by the greatest preachers that ever lived without exception suddenly our generation has to have another text that casts doubt upon the divine inspiration of this book but what doubt tragically you'll find these insertions this passage eight verses omitted and gone and one is not found in the oldest known manuscripts these doubtfully were divinely inspired but were inserted later on by people who had leanings and wanted to put their leanings into the scripture so wrong texts were written and so westcott and hawk who weren't saved by the way anyone that doesn't doubt that for anyone that i mean how could they be saved they were spiritists they didn't believe they didn't believe in the divine inspiration of genesis they believed in the theory of evolution embraced it endorsed it and unashamedly thought who didn't believe in the divinity of christ sir go back to the history books and see if i'm now blackening their names unrighteously are we to fear what was known of them when they gave the world the text that has been taken up by almost every new translation because it's the oldest manuscript doesn't mean it was the one god wanted let me tell you in the time of christ in the time of paul in the time of people there were heretics writing they find gospels according to the jewish right now yes these things were written in those times by people who didn't love god who didn't know gods heretics wrote them yes these manuscripts the earliest oldest of the manuscripts that we now have taken our text from that cast doubt and omit because it's all omitted you think they weren't heretics then but why did god or don't you believe god the holy spirit had the power to preserve his word throughout the centuries to bring nations and millions to christ through the greatest generations of our gospel dispensation didn't he have the power to preserve and to bring about what was to be used to reach the masses through the greatest preachers that we have ever named have preached and bury the heretical nonsensical perverted text of unsaved men they didn't believe in eternal why is it that these little abbreviations or total in many total big gaps totally they won't even put it in look at your bibles for god's sake mind and ask yourself why is it that these omissions these questions these little question marks costing this was not found in the oldest manuscript this is not divinely inspired these next few verses it was added by some heretic why is it that they always do that with the most essential doctrines of our faith the divinity of christ oh yes one man said to me who nearly crucified me for daring to say such a thing true actually but there is the divinity of christ i said no sir he showed me i said yes i agree but why is it that 90 actually nearly 97 percent of every other verse that affirms christ divinity and is the foundation for the divinity of christ is either omitted entirely or crossed out upon as of the originals and therefore not why is it where's it heading the last few verses you say and justify your versions why did they do that why did westcott and hawk do that why do we do it the verses that justify that gave us the basis for the vital doctrines of our faith the divinity of christ eternal judgment omitted verse upon verse passage upon passage this is not an it cast doubt in the divine inspiration and authority the word of god it takes away rob's berries god's word in this tragic generation of academic theologians influences and choices and if spurson was here tonight sir he would say it more emphatically than i have wesley would have walked out and refused to preach the people who had most of his new version as i believe leonard levin did he want eternal judgment holiness yes suddenly roman faith no condemnation to them between christ jesus even certainly most of the new bible the next few verses are not found in the old men who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit for they that are after the flesh to bind the things of flesh the day that after the spirit of things of the spirit listen sir the conditions of not being condemned a righteous living holiness without which no man shall see god i'm not talking about sinless perfection i'm talking about radical transformation by the holy spirit when you're saved that you are a new creature in christ all things have passed away all things have become new and this speaks in relation to one thing sir not your choice of food or clothing but righteousness not imputed by grace through faith but imparted by the holy ghost to fulfill the conditions of what god says is true salvation now there's a few of you that want to crucify me please wait until i'm finished isn't it punch a god isn't it you punch a god even if the bible has been buried in the ruins of today's modern compromising academic theological influences of the church generally worldwide all the time has come to seek to know desperately beloved has not the time come for us to as one man as one man that is unitedly cry out to their unnerved stop bring the book in its entirety back give us the bible without all the doubts and everything that the unsaved men who lie in hell now gave a text made us academically say because it's the oldest it must be the best rubbish because it's the oldest doesn't mean it's the best sir that god lose power when he buried that oldest in most of the gospel dispensation because we're right at the end of it now when the jews return the time of the gentiles is over and that's happened the jews have returned in 1948 my lifetime this dispensation is nearly all be careful what you do with the last generation nearly seven billion whose blood will be in your hands if they don't believe this eternal judgment if they don't believe jesus was god manifest in the flesh do you know they're writing a bible now and god i'm too scared i am honestly too scared to say who is publishing it because you won't believe it that not one verse in the entire bible old and new testament could possibly relate anything of the divinity of christ now who is behind them we'll go and ask them where they're getting the money from but it's coming and we're so gullible we'll take the next person because it's easy reading rubbish you can't understand the endowed with something wrong with you and when you're saved the natural man cannot receive the things of god but the spirits the moment the spirit is in your life this book becomes a lie the letter killers but the spirit give it life and you know you're saved in this book question i picture he's endowed on the problem you're just unsaved you can't understand a thing and take an easy reading you're buried the holy book sir oh finally the people of israel and the priests and the have not separated themselves from the people of the land from the godless heathen doing according to their abominations now beloved of course in the immediate context anyone would know that speaking about intermarriage which god forbade of the jews to keep a holy people for the messiah and right to this generation don't you dare believe the dispensation that this dispensation has no place to the jews so then you have to really bury prophecy of what god says will happen to israel right before he comes and then the time will be they have a prominent role as a nation to this day if they're not saved through the blood of christ and repentance from rejecting christ's msi they'll never get to heaven i don't believe that rubbish the jews is a nation the prominent beloved the point was not for them to not intermarry that was being brought here the great thing here was they were defiled through this and the new testament teaches the same thing as we've taught to the people of god there be not unequally yoked with unbelievers god tells us throughout the new testament to marry in the lord it is vital what was there is just a new testament teachings but of god's children washing the blood of all nations throughout this land throughout this world to not be unequal because of what doing according to their abominations is a great problem here don't doubt that is what being cried by god in the light of all the scriptures sir it is tragic and may i ask this generation that we ourselves also have not separated ourselves from the people that the ungodly heathen of the land doing according to their abominations ezra 6 verse 2 speaks of such as had separated themselves from the filthiness of the heathen of the land this is the point this is the grief this is what was god was condemning come ye apart and be separate god says will that end abstain from all appearance of you james 4 verse 2 says the adulterers the adulteress is speaking to christians know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with god whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of god does that not put fear in your hearts once you've got now if you have a heart if you have one i owe to respect to your eternal soul answer god know ye not that the friendship of the world that doesn't mean you don't care for their souls and try to win them but when they win you and you're no longer there to win them they're winning you and compromise and worldliness if you haven't even got the right to testify to them again you're so stooped with compromising oh be careful whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is not to win the world sir that we all have a responsibility beginning with the world in our home is the enemy of god tragic tragic do we care about these verses every single one of you even preachers i ask this i ask you to have the courage worldwide that these videos actually managed to get out of this door have you kept yourself unspotted from the world sir answer god have you kept yourself pure that's your side you have a choice after salvation or do you sit here spotted by the world your peace with god spotted the testimony is so spotted you haven't got a testimony most people that know you wouldn't accept it without laughing in your face because you're so like them you do what they do you what a tragedy has this generation not had the same said everywhere about them who walk out of the evangelical churches walking and leaping and praising god and everything else that goes with the emotional trash that's there today oh dancing you don't mind getting them dancing you wouldn't mind if they danced down the aisles when do they come if they we want that but all the way to hell as long as you get them dancing walking and leaping and praising god oh yes the joy of the lord keep them happy don't offend them now don't upset the whole atmosphere sir you have no right to have joy if you're guilty of all that god condemns yet you'll laugh to be turned to mourning james says why don't we preach that you have no right to laugh in god's presence under this book with the people of god yet you'll laugh to be turned to mourning and your joy to having us god's word says who is speaking to no one no let me tell you people who attach themselves to the church of christ who are in the world let me tell you i think it was rabbiner that said and why revival tarry's the church is at home in the world that's why the world is at home in the church because we just like them well aren't you aren't you even you preachers that will condemn them through this message aren't you why don't you just once answer god and not man and not your conscience that soul seared with a hot iron that i don't know how you can preach if you are guilty of these things and in closing may god please give us another ezra whose prayer broken is insane and fear to bring a nation the people of god to weep again through this book to repent and and separating themselves from the people the ungodly as in a time which come for us go and witness to the ungodly and then turn away and run screaming for help to not be drawn back does it so matter your friends that your soul means nothing to you or christ death for it means nothing to you knowing the judgment of god that they which commit such things are worthy of death not only do the same but have pleasure in them that do them this is people god will condemn people who know only shock every one of you life is so short but that's going to be the greatest shock you've ever had in life every one of you when you think it's started it's ended you think you got along i walked away from every friend i'm sorry they ran from me they laughed at me they mocked me i found one years later he dragged me into this alley this wrinkled broken man what do you want don't you know who i am keith he was the weakling the little weak one of the group i ran around within my unsaved days he said oh we mocked you you were a joke too good for us he stood in the streets pretending he preached by keith yagler laughing mocking but sir he's not one of us is nothing anymore and then he named all my friends that had died and said yes i lost all my friends i was mocked and just wait you could just open your eyes to see 10 years from now 20 years from now if god tells what they are you'd lose them tonight without hesitation to find truth in god and you who play the fool oh god have mercy on me god looks for a man the eyes of the lord run to and fro you notice that word to and fro is spoken of two people in the bible satan and roaring lion walking about to and fro throughout the whole earth he said to god when god says from whence comest thou from walking up and down to and fro and up and down throughout the whole earth seeking to show himself to you as a lion does destroy lives as thou considered my servants oh with all your going around are you going to be absorbed or what there's certain conventions like this in your heart of waiting for the world unreservedly fearlessly what's wrong with you for god's sake wake up before you go to hell and you christians before you send people to hell by losing the right to tell them about hell as you play the fool doing according to their abominations and not separating yourself in a way that they know you will never compromise never oh god give us another ear here the eyes of the lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth seeking to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him god said that at what point god can say that if such a base creature as we i don't know but he does and he found isra the difference between azra and jaziah is i was a king that was an imposed obligated reformation as it was ascribed he wasn't even a prophet like the rest of the bible he moved nations to god and he brought the entire people of god back to god in such a revival that still staggers the powers of hell that we can speak about this it is time to seek the lord church of god desperately as desperately as these the people of god here sought god through the life and ministry of the godly asia that god found soaked in the word uncompromising fearlessly preaching the law whereby the laws the knowledge of sin i preached on that i don't even know how many years ago why we have to preach it i preached on the history of the bible two years ago and i brought in one little section of the modern versions to end in the beginning of every single thing recorded in this holy book which oranges were and how god compiled it in the canonization and what the devil did to try and wipe it out to roam and now in our generation through the things i've named the greatest and most urgent need of our world today don't doubt this church of christ is for the church of our lord jesus christ to begin to desperately seek god for revival has desperately diseased the people of god here did and through the life and ministry of the godly israel but the greatest danger the greatest danger our world faces today the entire world is f the church of the lord jesus christ worldwide does not begin to desperately seek god for revival as desperately as these people recorded in god's word if my people and i believe that's written dispensationalists for all generations where everything was given and written for us as examples and to know the heart of god's new testament nothing was not essential to know the heart of god if my people who are called by my name shall humble themselves and pray and confess their sins and turn from their wicked ways my people you can have to turn he has to come a moment when that can happen to the people of god yeah i will hear from heaven i will hear from heaven i will forgive their sins and will heal their land and if your land is destroyed by sin and depravity and loses everything of greatness that god gave it because of the generations of your forefathers that sought god desperately and found him if you lie in ruins destroyed as a nation america is because this generation refused to seek god to begin to seek god desperately don't blame the government i blame the church that didn't get it and get right with god desperately through the bible and they may assure you on our knees there's no army on earth that can compare with what god will do with the army of god on their knees no other weapons but this doing battle against the power of darkness the history of your nation will change overnight and turn totally but if you don't you'll be scared to walk out of your front door soon sir even you theologians would hate me for speaking i guarantee you with what comes to this world because of the church's refusal to pride of denomination pride of doctrine can we stand free
