In this sermon, the preacher talks about a man, a Hebrew, who is running through the streets proclaiming that there are only 40 days left before everyone will die because of their wickedness. The king and the court take this message seriously, realizing that God will not allow them to continue in their wickedness. The preacher highlights the current state of society, with young people dying from suicide, violence, and drug overdoses, blaming it on the influence of cheating and unloving parents, broken families, and corrupt churches. The preacher emphasizes that the street preacher was not preaching about the love of God or offering a beautiful plan for life, but rather warning of impending judgment. The sermon concludes by stating that God's judgment is a result of the people's corruption and sin, just as it was in the case of Israel.

One of America's great men of God and the world's I might add evangelist author David Wilkerson I Don't take myself too seriously anymore, but I do take God seriously Take him very seriously and some people have told me David. Why don't you lighten up a little bit? You're too sober You can't spend time with him and hear what heaven says Anybody there's nobody can Be shut in with him and come out and not feel that the soberness of his presence and especially he Intimates to the heart that may happen. It will happen I've never I don't believe I'm a prophet because the Lord's not shown me that but I think my role is like Amos a shepherd who occasionally prophesies and I do have a prophecy This evening and my role is simply to deliver it and ask no questions and I do that so that he'll speak to me again Because of the Donald Bay and then the heavens are shut in that particular direction. He'll never shut me out But when he shows the secret of his heart He'll have to choose someone else. I want to say something about Jimmy Squigert ministries, it's like I Spent a quite a bit of time this past year traveling in Bible schools and colleges and University speaking and I was shocked at what I found the coldness and the death and the covetousness And this is one of the few schools one of the few where I found God at work There's a tremendous Bible college here and any students that are watching. I This is one of the very few that I would recommend because I've been to many of them And I went home after a tour and said honey, I can't believe what I've seen and heard it's a coldness and death and and Young people who disillusioned and don't know where they're going. I had hundreds tell me. I don't know where I'm going. I know what I'm doing You know Christian schools This ministry I think too is one of the few where true prophets of God Like brother Ravenhill are welcome brother Leonard Ravenhill 78 years old He wrote why revival Terry Sodom had no Bible some of the great prophetic books of all times He's my neighbor and dear friend. I meet with him twice a week and for hours We do nothing but talk about Jesus and he's like Jeremiah. He's a real Jeremiah that cloth he's been watching by the sky good on on television and And Rejoicing and about a month ago. He said David if Jimmy ever asked me to come you tell him I'd like to come God help this ministry when Prophets are not welcome Or feared or worse yet when prophets refuse to come that's when Ichabod is written on the doors. God help. I've seen ministries go that way and this ministry I don't believe will ever go that way Because I want you to join me in prayer that say I'm not afraid of any Jimmy's adversaries outside Don't even consider them. They have nothing to do with the gospel. They can't touch it. They can't kill it. They can't destroy it It's just there's nothing else My Great burden is for a dear friend in your friend and I'm not flattering Jimmy swaggered right now. I'm telling you from my heart We need to pray Because he's the only enemies within But the time will never come That he becomes so busy He can't be shut in with God now. I know for a fact. He's he walks 48 miles a morning speaking to God The worst one thing the devil wants to do is man more thing is getting so busy. That's all no woman No money is taken away from the prayer chamber. So he no longer stands with that fire in his soul And you need to stand in prayer that all the forces of hell will back away and say leave him alone leave him to God Lord do that I pray Do that for him in a mighty way. Let him be one of the few voices left in America who? Ponders his voice and we know there's a man that shooting with God Give him that time Lord Hallelujah My wife when is with me the Lord's healed her and she's we've rejoiced in our Fellowship You know a lot of people pray. I don't like to do is that she's sitting down in a pink just turning Honey just stand up so that people would say hello. They've been praying for you. You I promised I wouldn't do it I'm gonna break my word Honey, God bless you Doesn't look like she's had 25 years of cancer and all those diseases the Lord's been good If a prophecy Well, I hate What happens to me when God Moves the price on the physical body and sitting in a church meeting like this and God's moving and I'm having to fight with the flesh that I Lord I'll obey you tonight. This is a cry against the wickedness of American youth Lord, I spent my last 28 years on the streets and talking and praying and loving our American youth But now Lord, I've got it prophesied against them What I'm not prophesying against the Christian young people I'm prophesying against the wicked What I know I got this from your throne. I didn't dream this up God you put it in my heart in that private throne room Jesus you came to my heart and you said if you love my people you'll preach the truth and not be afraid And if you love these young people then tell them my truth Lord help me tonight. There's nothing fantastic. There's nothing new about this, but nobody just see it. Just put it out Oh God more than anything else. We want to hear from heaven. We want to know that you're talking to us But all through Israel all through the Bible it says and God said and God said and God said and we see you speak to men of old and then we see in the New Testament Peter and Paul the Lord said and the Lord said And the Lord said and Lord we want to be able to say tonight and the Lord said we heard from God Thank you Lord Arise go to Nineveh that great city and cry against it for the wickedness has come up before me Jonah 1 2 prophet Malachi Behold the day is coming that shall burn as an oven and all the proud Yes, and all that do wickedly Shall be a stubble and the day that cometh shall burn them all up saith the Lord of hosts that it shall leave them neither root nor branch first John 5 19 the whole world lies in wickedness the whole world lies in wickedness Hosea 7 2 and They consider not in their hearts that I remember all their wickednesses They are always before me They forget that I know all about their wickedness and it's always before me If you think only our goodness is before God. No, he said the wickedness is before me at all times Now, what does God have to say about the immorality of American young people? the same thing He said to Nineveh centuries ago. I've had enough To go to them and cry out against their sins Warned them that my fiery wrath is to fall on them and a great destruction is soon to happen unless there's widespread total repentance Now Nineveh was a great city took three days to walk from one end to the other 120,000 children in that city who did not know from the right or the left foot But it was so wicked so violent it becomes so corrupted It was so evil God could take it no longer. So I'm going to wipe it off the face of the earth Just one prophet was sent one man one evangelist. His name was Jonah He rented no auditorium He had no musicians. He handed out no literature He didn't even have a loudspeaker let alone television or radio as we have today He planned no follow-up There was this one street preacher walking straight to the city Stopping to talk to no one ignoring all the government leaders walk right past the temples and the universities a Past the bars the brothels walk past the prostitutes up past the sodomites and the homosexuals and lesbians And he was crying and shouting at the top of his voice And he wasn't preaching the love of God. He wasn't telling them God had a beautiful plan for their life He told them it's all over It's over You've got 40 days left. Can you hear a single voice screaming in those streets 40 days? God has seen your wickedness Judgment 40 days. He was not preaching repentance. He was preaching judgment It was only when they repented that God changed his mind the scripture says he repented Now didn't matter how many prophets would have walked those streets the same time Jonah walked them trying to pacify the people There could have been 10,000 preachers walking those streets with Jonah preaching peace and prosperity Drawing multitudes away from Jonah telling the Ninevites the country was too great that God could set that God would send judgment on them It would make no difference to God at all because Jonah had the message from God And while all the others were crying peace and safety this prophet cried judgment Now there are many preachers in America preaching judgment now But if there was only one voice God would be justified and have to send no others if Jimmy Swagger were the only man left on television preaching judgment That's all God needs It's always been one man one voice Crying in the wilderness repent judgment is coming. It's always been that way What kind of a prophet would Jonah been if he ignored God's hot passion against the wickedness Of that city and he'd preach a soothing soft message to those crowds How easy it would have been for Jonah to grab the national flag of Nineveh Prayed it through the throngs as they clapped and cheered how easy would have been to applaud Congratulate the leaders of that city Talk about their founding fathers, and that's the kind of soft sweet preaching American people like to hear now We wrap ourselves in the American flag And we smugly prophesy from our pulpits today that our country's too great Our leaders are too moral our God is too good America could never be judged You tell me why God's going to spare American judgment tell me Give me one reason All the sodomites and the lesbians and the sadomasochists and the rapists are they going to repent and turn to God in humility? It's one of them gonna do it Are our government leaders in Washington and in our state houses going to put sackcloth on them and sit in assheaps And in God they saw repent for their drunkenness and their covetousness and their corruption Do you see any government leader doing that? Are the American people going to suddenly become brokenhearted for their sins And confess that they have forgotten God and sitting before idols and worshiping sects and sports You tell me God's going to stress because we're missions minded We spend more money for dog food right now that we do for missions and the money that is spent for missions is coming only From a whole small handful of God's people and not from the nation You say God's going to spare market because we're so charitable to poor nations That's a farce We have given less to starving children than we have spent on a single battleship You say we're good to Israel We're just as good to Syria or rather just to Arabia We have given billions of dollars of armaments to Arab nations enough to bring on Armageddon Give me one reason why God should spare America Other than those who pray and repent and God saying I'll give you space and time to repent. That's it Well wicked people in America now We're overran with sodomites we're reading in the streets from drunkenness we're the most drug-crazed nation on earth And then no man can stand in his pulpit and tell you more knowledge But even I can't about that they're not a nation in the world more drug-crazed in America not one God's not impressed by Olympics or by our patriotism. He's not going to be pacified with all the whitewash coming from our pulpits We're a violent nation now the nation that's so numbed by the horrible news coming over television of our children being molested an 87 year old woman who was arrested for a child care center molesting both boys and girls 87 years old Child abuse child beating abortion not a street in America safe to walk on not a house is secure from robbers not a store That's not been harassed By shoplifters and thieves To our young people now violence is a way of life Our big city schools are now installing metal detectors to detect the weapons of the knives of the kids coming in A boy told my son who pastors in Detroit. He was walking the streets He said mister we used to fight our enemies. We don't fight him anymore. We shoot him or knife him now Millions of our young people are dying Suicide knife down gun down overdosing Our young people are fed up with their cheating unloving parents Drunken dads and stone mothers Kids so confused by their divorcing parents so confused by dead churches so confused by humanistic churches They said we're going to turn sleazy just to get even Those kids are so down they have to do anything to get up Now I'm a loyal American and I love my country and I salute the flag and I pray for our leaders But I'm also a man of God and I pray And I hear an awesome sound of a gathering storm and I hear the thunder of God ringing in my soul And the spirit cries out that America's wicked in the cup of wrath is filled No He does not speak for God the man does not speak for God who predicts America's going to be spared judgment Bible said all the elements are going to melt with a fervent heat and John is revelation said all Nations have been deceived all have drunk of the wine of his wrath by their association with Babylon Malachi prophesied the day is coming. It's a burners and oven the wicked shall burn a stubble the day that cometh We'll burn them all up Revelation 18 23 for by sorceries were all the nations deceived all the nations deceived Zachariah goes on to give a chilling account of the hydrogen Holocaust Frightening account from Zachariah their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet their eyes will consume away in their holes And tongues will consume away in their mouths Now God has a very clear answer to why he's pronouncing judgment on America It's the same answer. He gave Israel Lord shall come to pass when you shall show this people all these words And they shall say unto you For what reason has the Lord pronounced all this great evil against us? What is our sin? What is our nickety that we've corrupted ourselves against the Lord God you say God is going to judge us why what's the sin? the answer Because your fathers have forsaken me Say if the Lord and have walked after other gods and have worshiped them and have forsaken me and have not kept my word Then Jeremiah goes on. I earnestly Protested against your fathers I sent prophets rising early to protest against them saying obey me obey me Yet they refused to obey me, but they walked everyone according to their own imagination Well, that's part of the trouble. That's part of the reason. It's the sin of our fathers It is true that godless parents are much to blame He said you're raising strange children Strange the prophet calls them your children are only corrupt. They're strange. There's a whole generation of strange children now God says there's conspiracy in the land with these strange children. There's a unique unbelievable conspiracy that's never existed before He said your parents have it the God of your parents is their belly And he said your parents worship idols and we know I was to be of sex and sports and success I Listened to God's indictment against the children the young people This puts a chill in my spine You have done worse than your fathers But behold you walk everyone after the imagination of his own evil heart, so you will not even listen to me Therefore I'm going to have to cast you out This Conspiracy is found among you You're going back to the sins of your father and you surpass them and I will bring evil upon you and you will not escape Then God goes on saying I'm not blind he said my eyes are upon all your ways They're not hid from my face your sins not hid from my eyes David said when I said I've sinned before the eyes of God Go Ahead and find the most secluded spot you can to have your sex go ahead in the most secluded Unknown area to stick the needle in your vein. God says I see everything Not one of your sins hidden from my eyes. I see it all you have the idea I don't see your wickedness is ever before me Then God says I want to explain to you now why there's such emptiness in you such boredom such loneliness He said because I've taken away my peace from you I've taken away my loving-kindness in my mercies I've taken away because your cup of iniquity was too full You think of it God is saying to American young people Your fathers were bad enough They forsook me They once loved me. They once worshipped me, but they've turned to idols. They're godless. They're sinful They've turned to idolatry, but you you young people you Outsin your evil parents Your praise your mad you indulge in everything your imagination can conjure You won't even listen to preachers anymore. You've hardened your heart you closed your ears You're becoming so corrupt so wicked. I am forced to move against you. I'll just warn you then I'll judge you Now I'm not about to suggest all of our young people are wicked Of course not thank God. There's a despised few that will not bow their knees to bear There's a growing number the righteous are becoming more righteous and the wicked are becoming more wicked. There are two streams This remnant that I mentioned last night growing eagles wings When they're sitting with Christ in heavenly places giving up the world and I've been prophesying and I prophesied the last time I was here And I've been prophesying in a message called the wall of fire that the holiest generation of all is yet to come God in the midst of all the hell and everything else is going to raise up a holy sanctified young people They're going to have more grace than I could have ever conceived in my generation should the Lord carry There's gonna be a wall around them bigger stronger and it's going to confuse the devil The devil be confused and I'll even get to them because the wall of fire and the glory of the Lord that's within the wall They're going to have the fire and the glory Well, but this other stream Many of them in that stream being sucked away now that once walked with God back slid and cold in heart My message is for you God must judge this generation of American young people or Submit to the power of the devil now. I want you to listen God blew me away on this We said this is the point of your message. This is this is the point of the sword God cannot and he will not permit Satan to overcome entire segments of society He never has in all of the world's history God has never allowed the devil to take over and rule Entire segments of society without judging them quickly I Never was a large segment of their population of the day Young people represent a very large segment of our society and God will not sit idly by and permit the devil to take over the young population without advocating his power and authority You know what God was doing through the lips of Jonah, he was not only preaching to the people Never he was preaching to the devil and all of hell He sent Jonah Just as sure as he sent him to the streets of Nineveh. He sent him through The confines of hell he was already preaching in Nineveh He was preaching to hell his message thundered through hell and it was God saying to the devil Satan 40 more days You can hold this city of 40 more days your time is up. I am tired of you rising up You cannot hold this population. I'm going to wipe your power your influence off the map Spiritual warfare is not a cliche. It's very real and the battle today is not parents against young people and Listen young people the battle is not between you and God this is a battle between God and the devil and The devil's using you as a pawn in this battle only to establish a kingdom for himself He's not interested in you. He's interested in his power He's Trying to get at God and how frightful to be caught up In the judgment of God against the devil and you have to be a part of God's judgment on Satan Because you've become his child God prophesied that he will not sit by and let the devil take a whole segment of our society to drugs another segment to alcohol another Segment to pornography another segment to the occult God will not sit by if he did You and I as Christians would have to sit down and say God can the devil can walk off of it The devil can just take is he chooses He can do what he pleases sweep our young people away and our hands are tied He can establish his kingdom here on earth And that's not what my Bible says my Bible says God said I will come near to you in judgment And I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers. That's the drug pushers in the original Greek I'll come against every drug pusher. I'll come against the alcoholics and against the adulterers Malachi 5 3 5 that's God's Word. I'll come against them bring them down Glory to God that's not about the abdicate This generation of the hands of the devil He's going to rescue a remnant hallelujah When he does come the devil's going to be powerless when he does he's not coming against the powerful devil He's coming back against the lion. It has no teeth I've always believed I serve a God that made Satan toothless powerless against God's people Whenever repented at one sermon It's incredible the king in fact got the message secondhand one of his servants came in he said there's a man sir running down our streets Telling everybody we got 40 days left. He said the man said we're all gonna die Because we're wicked And the king said run that by me again. He said there's a man a Hebrew a Hebrew running our streets, and he's he's got the whole city's 30 saying we've got 40 days. I'm gonna die And the king didn't laugh And the court didn't laugh and the princess didn't laugh the king stood ash and white And the Congress stood ash and white Because deep in their heart they were made to know That God would not sit by And let them become wicked and mad animals and kill and destroy and plunder they knew it that King stood at that moment made a decree every dog and cat every cow and horse every man woman boy and girl must fast All government all business all transportation shut down not a single person moving no activity at the threat of your life No one moving about everybody to your houses everybody to your knees humble yourself with the cry confess your sins Call on God, maybe just maybe God will repent of what he said about it. Maybe we won't die Maybe he'll have mercy on us. They didn't even have a promise of mercy and they repented Compare that to what's happening in America compare it Oh You smoke American people gonna hide behind American flag and patriotism you listen to it I'm just as patriotic as you are, but I've heard God's thunder You compare that one message with one man and even getting it secondhand Even the animals were covered in sackcloth And you compare that to America What's happening 24 hours a day cable television shouting the gospel from rooftops? Evangelists and prophets and pastors and teachers street witnessing teams begging sinners to repent warning of the judgment that's come They heard one man they heard one sermon one chance we have thousands of preachers Inundated with tons of Bibles and literature and magazines and books and radio and television the newspaper Everyone's signing along and hardly anyone listening Because I called you and you refused That's just out my hand. You wouldn't listen You wanted nothing to do with my truth, and you didn't want to hear my warnings anymore So your destruction is going to come upon you like a wild wind suddenly your fears going to come as desolation Then you'll call on me, but I'll not answer you'll seek me then But you won't find me because you despised my threats my warnings, and you turned away You're turning away has destroyed you Now those of us who preach like that are called doomsday preachers We're laughed at mostly by so-called ministers of the gospel The accusers of preaching law, but not understanding the mercy and grace of God We're told that we just scare people and we look only on the dark side, but I tell you that don't matter anymore Don't matter God is love that he is also holy God wants you to be more than happy. He wants you to be holy a Woman wrote to me the other day and she goes to her one of the Success churches where the pastor preaches nothing but peace and prosperity and success By the young by the way young person if you were hanging over a fiery ledge About to fall in a pit and you're just hanging by a root nut roots about to be uprooted You don't want some preacher leaning over saying don't worry everything's all right. I'm in peace and quiet It's a class very fun. You're not going to get hurt Now you want a man of God. They'll throw your upset grab it I Lady wrote to me and she said all my friends are telling me that the suffering in my life is a tragedy And that I should not be suffering. I should not be sick. I should be Having no unpaid bills and she said they come at me from all sides make me feel like I'm not even a Christian She said I just got sick of it the other day and I just stood up and said I Know he wants me to be happy, but he also wants me to be holy Glory to God Hmm, that's another message. I'm not gonna get in on it. Let Jimmy finish that one If Ananias and Sapphira dropped dead in a holy ghost church We're under a day of grace where love was being preached And what's going to happen when God begins to put the wine of his wrath Hmm the Bible says the men of Nineveh are going to rise up and condemn this young generation The men of Nineveh are going to rise up and condemn and judge This nation Jesus said it the men of Nineveh will rise up in judgment with this generation and they will condemn it because they repented at the preaching of Jonah and behold a greater than Jonah is here and in the supernatural realm in which God moves and has his being I Hear multiplied thousands of departed souls crying out Oh God if you will not Destroy them. Why did you destroy? Why would you destroy any society we repented at one sermon? We had one preacher Not even a Bible what a song was heard. Oh God, where is your justice? If you will judge a nation after one message How could you not judge them after they turned away from an ocean of appeals? And I hear the multitude damn souls of Sodom and Gomorrah And stand in the judgment Saying justice God justice. We were damned for less Justice and he is a just God We had no preacher. We had no Bible. We had no television. We had no radio. We had no Jonah We had no swagger. Let alone the armies of ministers How can you be a just God and consume and judge us and not judge them Now, how can you figure that out? If you don't believe anything I else else just put on your thinking cap If he's a just God think of it You what Jesus said they repented in Nineveh and you've had a greater than Jonah If you believe what Jesus said he said anyone who's in the kingdom of Christ is greater than John the Baptist That means when Billy when Billy Graham preacher Jimmy Swaggart preaches on the anointing of God, it's a greater than Jonah It's a greater than Jonah because of the Holy Spirit being poured out upon our flesh I Don't know what would have happened in Jonah in Nineveh if a man Who was in the kingdom realm that walked those streets? I don't know. I can't conceive. What would have happened More than anything else You can turn off Jimmy Swaggart your Billy Graham You can turn off the street preacher you can turn off your friend who witnesses to you But you can't turn off the Holy Ghost that inner voice who's now knowing that you can't turn him off He's the one who says God's holy You're wicked your sin and judgment is near because the Holy Ghost has said His ministry said to be that of convicting men of sin in the coming judgment Where did our people where did our American young people go wrong? What happened? How did they lose their way? What's the step to bring such wickedness on a? Society the prophet Isaiah predicted a day was coming when our young people would faint and they would fall This is his prophecy even the young people shall faint the young people shall be weary the young man shall utterly fall Isaiah 40 30 that's called rock bottom. That's giving up on everything and see this is traced Directly at a complete loss of faith a loss of faith Why Isaiah the same chapter for your chapter? He's speaking to young people. They send young people It's predicted that you're going to faint and be weary and fall you're gonna become wicked And they're going to tell you why and God answered Isaiah Why do you say in your heart my way is hid from the Lord? And the justice due to me is passed over by God God's not doing right by me He said I'm going to tell you why you're turning to sin Tell you why you're so wicked now That's not a priest, but why Christian young people walk out on their father I'm going to tell you where the young people why you're wicked God saying it not me He said you are wicked Because you don't believe in me anymore. You don't believe I answer pray you don't believe I'm alive And you say God's not working in my behalf anymore. God's forsaken me God's hit his face for me. He knows what other people are but he doesn't know where I am God's this is God speaking. So why are you saying in your heart? The Lord's hidden himself from me the Lord you say God's not giving justice to me. He's not working in my behalf The problem is actually saying you have no confidence anymore respect for God You've accused him of closing his eyes to your problems you accuse the Lord of abandoning you and letting you alone to your own devices You really don't believe that God is merciful or just And all the prophets agree that Israel Backslidden became wicked at the point. They abandoned their trust in God when they said You know the prophets came to them and this God says I'm going to have to judge you said well Show us our sin show us our sin and it's always been you don't trust me anymore You don't believe in me anymore. You have no confidence in the power of prayer God said to these fainting falling young people Have you not known have you not heard that the everlasting God the Lord the creator of the ends of the earth? He never faints. He's never weary his understanding is unsearchable he gives power to the faith and to them that have no might he increased his strength and God goes on he says who do you think created this world? How do you think this all came about? This is in Isaiah 40 26. What do you think created all this? What brings out the stars in their massive numbers? Who knows every star by name? Who sits on the circle the earth ruling and greatness and power? Yet you say I'm hidden from God he doesn't see me anymore not working in my behalf To backslidden Israel God said I'm going to hide my face from you For you become very wicked in my sight and you'll become children in home. There is no faith Children in home there is no faith Last summer I walked we're just walking the streets of our cities, especially in New York Down to Greenwich village where young people come from all over the world that they're from Germany exchange students from Sweden, Switzerland and I incurred in countries And most of them speak English at least broken English you sit and try to communicate And I tell you before God I've set sometimes almost all day trying to find a single young person who believed in God One Said I don't believe anymore. I don't I have no faith in God whatsoever people you're sitting here You don't have the slightest idea and every street worker knows what's going on out there Not just spoke at a conference of street workers and they confirmed just what our workers find now We have over a thousand street workers in Europe in the same report The masses of young people have no faith at all none None I go home at night and I plant a fist in the pillow and I cry No faith That's why you've become wicked he said you've given up on me you don't even believe in me anymore you've given up Humanism blames God for example This what the young people tell me said well, what about the families and all those children starving in Africa? God's just God. How can he allow it? you see Humanism blames God for the families in the world and has the audacity suggests that man has more compassion than God It's trying to tell you young people that are wicked and given up on your faith That God caused all that and man has more compassion and man even though God they say caused all this which he didn't And then man comes along and begins to feed them build hospitals and take care of them and young people say well man is Compassion but God is mean God is angry Don't blame God for these starving children in Africa You blame the world government you blame the Ethiopian government who's taking millions of tons of food and selling it on the black market You blame it for you bring the Ethiopian government because they're mad at those rebels They won't let food to those lines. You know, they're stuffing their own armies you blame The corrupt politicians who spend trillions of dollars on defense and then throw sock to poor nations You know, we figured it out then we could irrigate all of North Africa for the price of our moonland We could have irrigated all of North Africa It's sheer mockery it's dishonesty to blame God for the stupidity and blindness of man And by the way, who it is. Who is it that is feeding the starving children who started this bandwagon to feed them now? spirit-filled Christians Young people you've been listening to the devil's lie He's led you to be that God can't help you or hurt you You see God's not angry about sex and drugs and alcohol as much as he's angry about the unbelief That's the corruption. That's the damning sin It's always been from the very beginning God hates these other deeds of the flesh But the real damning sin is this unbelief in his majesty that he's alive Now I believe there's only going to be a remnant saved The wicked all they'll be in armies of the redeemed but only a remnant of the wickedness last hour I don't see much in the Bible offers hope for 100% repentance in America The Bible predicts evil men are going to go worse and worse deceiving and being deceived And I have a sense in me that we've gone too far already and we're headed For imminent near Judgment about to break out break forth from the throne What did Jesus have to say to young people just before judgment comes? He gave the message to Peter After God poured out his spirit. He and you see we preached the two parts of it He said repent and be baptized and we've stopped there, but there was a third part of Peter's message Repent and be baptized and save yourself in this wicked generation Save yourself Wake up Be saved baptized and save yourself from this wicked generation how you save yourself the man loses life. He saves it God poured out his spirit 2,000 years. I hear people say what God's After awakening after waking century after century after century even though there are periods of darkness Ever since Pentecost God's been calling and we have people sitting around just like people waiting Sitting around waiting for the temple to be built I think a lot of Christians think once the temple goes up Then I'm going to get holy and I'm gonna start praying seeking God because I know the time is up Well, the temple's been rebuilt for years. Jesus returned and rebuilt the house of David that was falling down the temple's been built This is the temple of the Holy Ghost He said he doesn't dwell in temples made with man's hands, oh hello, I'm not looking for some temple in Jerusalem Hallelujah to God nothing delays the coming of the Lord right now The nights already been spent the day the Gentiles is over the work of the Spirit nearly finished and the our judgments here You know, the most incredulous man in eternity has got to be Jonah How do you how do you how does he ever have it explained to him? That an entire society Would not repent With all that God Baptized them with in the name of calls and appeals The men of Sodom and Gomorrah will be incredulous, of course, but I think the most shocked man in eternity is Jonah Jonah Will ask what kind of society could it been What kind of society I'll preach one German And I saw men fall I saw run out in their barns and pull their animals out and cover them with sackcloth I saw people throw sand in the air and mowed and grown. I saw them reading in pain and repentance in the streets I saw the heads of governments weeping like babies and I preached one sermon How do you explain that to Jonah All right now This afternoon I said Lord, that's fine. That's a national Appeal that's it. That's a cry against American youth and their wickedness But you see up to this point. I've really not been preaching repentance I've been preaching judgment It's simply I've given you a warning from God that what's about to happen soon and like Jonah I've just told you time is up and I'm going to you again I'm telling you again and I believe this and I don't care what anyone says to me I'll look you now until you've been on my knees until you know until you can look me in the eyes and tell me you've Been on your knees seeking God night and day And if you seek God night day, you're going to hear the same thing The time is up It's all over Now, how's God gonna judge America, I don't know Jonah didn't know how God was going to destroy none of it But you see I believe judgment started against the music of devils ten years ago I'm gonna ask you young people now Still bound by your wickedness. Where's Janice Joplin? Where's Jimi Hendrix? Where's the king of rock Elvis? Where's John Lennon You see God's already started pulling down the idols He's already started. It's already happening Now, you know what God's going to do and listen to me Christian young people. I Think the same thing happened to me that happened to Jimmy I picked up Christianity today and I looked at what is described as a group called Christian punk rock They were dressed in beads and belts and what hurt me It's the same exactly the same dress as I saw Every summer when I walk the streets of San Francisco and I see 15 Saddle massacres coming at me looking the same way with the chains and the belts And the studs and the painted face and the punk haircut And when I saw that picture and listen to some Americans applauded I Fell on my knees and when I went in my study God told me That those young men if they want to live had better get out of the church. They're gonna die I'm gonna die because God will not put up with it young men Blind How blind have we become? How blind are we Brother swaggered the walls are down. The gates have fallen and the enemy has moved in The gates are down I Looked at that and I was on the streets of San Francisco. I Heard one of the young man his testimony was Jimmy Swagger. It's my favorite preacher Well, then I say he's never they've never heard a word. He said You young people Had even listened to it You see I was reading this afternoon and I was reading about the idols Of Israel who's going through Jeremiah and Amos and Micah Who knows a idols God said they don't talk You sit them up in front of you and they don't talk. They have no voice and God spoke to my heart David the idols of your generation do talk You have talking idols your idols are alive I Tremble so bad I can hardly talk I Do Because God's about to move in the church Because so few voices have taken a stand we just passively set by and let the walls go down and the gates down let everything Come in and trample over God's beautiful pasture. And so God said you won't do it. I'll do it. I'll do it. It's a shame The Jimmy Swagger can stand in a pulpit and take a stand And my little way I take a stand And Now I hear people say you've got to have balance balance is a code word of a divided heart You've got to have balance God hates the word balance You know what balance means I want to hold my idol God is looking for radical changes radical changes not balance radical changes. I I Want to take them to the streets of San Francisco and I said look boys Look, look what you're mocking look what you're imitating in a man and I since the fire can't even lie to the Holy Ghost How you gonna mock him and live? And it's so bad brother swaggered we can't even discern when we see it in the church anymore I Have a sense in me that since America has made success and the Almighty dollar its biggest idol That's where God's going to move first You know all God has to do Saints All God has to do is speak the word and ten Debtor nations refused to pay their debt and within two months America's in chaos chaos Now I've just got this this afternoon a A Personal word to all you young people who've been running from God All of you who've quit on God and you're bound by your wickedness. I get a word for you. You can turn me off My part I don't expect many of you to hear I don't expect many of you to listen Because you see you're a hundred times harder than anybody in Nineveh Because he that's often reproved hardens his heart and it's been the reproof that's hardened you And you turned it off and turned it off. You've put callous upon callous. I heard a young man say gross darkness Is a hundred and forty four times twelve times twelve gross darkness 144 times worse and you've got gross darkness in you By the way, do you I owe it to you to tell you what the Lord told me? Not told you I'm not a prophet, but I've heard from God Here's what I heard You know, you don't want to come to Jesus Because of your friends and because you have no faith in God anymore and it's party time all over America That's all you hear party party party. It's party time America's become one mad party in Dallas all last week They were advertising on the radio and television a big massive go to hell party Go to hell party And it's people are asking what does it mean and people said just what it means That's how bold we've become in our wickedness in America go to hell party. Who cares flaunt it in God's face It's party time easy sex drugs a lot of booze Having a good time Still hurting inside, but you've decided you're going to live it up and do your own thing and have your own way Well, here's the Word of God for you. Listen. All I can do is give it to you The time is coming soon. It's going to boil down to two simple choices God or suicide And I'm going to tell you how it happens now give you God's word for it and already thousands young people are opting for suicide All across the land right now and here's here's what happens God says I'm going to take away your peace He said I'm going to turn your pleasure into sorrow your joy into tears I'm going to turn your hopes into emptiness and listen to this. Oh Lord Correct me But with judgment not in my anger unless you bring me to nothing Unless you bring me to nothingness and here's what God's doing He's taking the thrill. I Don't look this congregation right in the eye and I tell you After all these years working with real crazed young people Ask this young street preacher over here That's teaching in the Bible school here. You look at him They're supposed to be having fun There's a sadness. There's an emptiness like it's never been. There's no through the thrills gone sex hurts Drugs doll The booze makes him sick The thrill is gone. There's nothing left The peace is gone. The joy is gone and finally young man you wake up one day You said I've tried it all Nothing brings me pleasure Sex is boring The parties are dull There's nothing left but nothingness And the gun The pill and the knife North Dallas the whole city shocked Plano horrible rate of suicide I Wrote a book about it Three years ago, but I never do it never did believe it get as bad as it's gotten. It's boiled down to two choices It's not God or parties. It's not God or my friends It's not God or my drugs or alcohol it's God or suicide Well, but there's that I forgot to give you this for thou Lord are good ready to forgive and Plenteous and mercy to them that call upon his name hallelujah Young people Lord told me to give you one final word of hope here it is. Oh Lord I know that your weight. I know that the ways of man Isn't it? I know it's I Know that the way of man is not in himself It is not in man that walketh to know how to direct his own steps. So Oh Lord you correct me Show me your mercy and not your anger Lest you bring me to nothingness. I Don't know why American Christians are sitting in front of comedy shows on television Cuz nothing to laugh about now I Don't know how you can sit there and watch A-team and all those other murderous things when God destroyed a whole nation of society for violence. I Don't know how you can sit there In front of that talking alive idol and sit there inside it worship to that idol Years ago God told me if I'd get it out of my home he would Bless me give me a minister If I had no baby might still be stuck in the hills of Pennsylvania Trying to find my way through the hills Because I spent that time in prayer But then you see I brought it back because it's sports and news. Oh, yeah sports and news And soon I was laying down before that idol And last month when God said again And we removed it. I Saw something happened my wife that I haven't seen in years the glory She's had the glory but in such measure now. I saw God break loose and I had five television sets in my home You know one in the kitchen where you can sit neat one in the bathroom where you can lay in the tub and watch One in the bedroom You're not awful And I'm telling you now Christians this is word for you. I wasn't gonna do it, but I have to do I'm gonna burden my soul The time is coming Where Christians can use it only as Jimmy Swaggart's using it and that's to preach the gospel And you and I gonna have to pray and support it whether we see it or not We're gonna have to support it I'm not asking you to take it out of your home. That's the word of the Holy Ghost. I Can't tell you that but I can tell you sit there and waste your hours You waste time when you hear a message of judgment. You don't even know God You're backslidden. You're so far from God. You can't even hear a word. I'm saying tonight. Nothing. I've said has made sense to you. I hear a trumpet blowing I See God's heart. It's just the cup is just boiling over and God said that's it. Oh It's incredible night. That's that's what I don't think we understand. I said it last night. I believe Hosea He's he's he's prophesying in time of great prosperity Cold and silver like stones people living in palaces And he's saying the same thing. It's all over It's all over He said you delicate women who won't even go out and get your feet dirty are going to kill your babies need them and Within two years they were eating their babies two years two years You Can't imagine Kenya sitting in all this prosperity that God can suddenly move and it's all over It's all over But I can and I have hmm Well, I've obeyed the Lord You know, I I don't even know how to give an altar call in a time like this I saw how God moved on brother Swaggart last night. What an incredible gift to bring in the net And maybe God will move in him in just a moment, I hope God does but I I Want to make one call and I don't know what God will say to him And I want to thank you for this right for letting me unburden my heart There was records preached like this. He's not afraid of preaching like this. I'm gonna say it one more time Christians, it's all over He said now hide yourself gather together rejoice He said when you see all these things begin to happen, what's the message for us not to sit here sad I'm talking about I'm talking to the wicked in that what should Christian be doing? We're to look up and rejoice before redemptions drawing night for the good I'm not stalling. I'm just trying to get the mind of God now and I feel like I want to ask Young people here in this audience and wherever I'm being seen right now Hmm all the young people That are on the edge You're on the edge You're being attracted By the very thing I'm talking about Your faith is very shaky and You're starting to watch the cassettes You're starting to like it You're saying that's not so bad You're saying others are doing it And little by little Your fire is going out and you're getting colder and colder and colder and your love for Jesus is dying in the process I want to ask you To stay you say I'm gonna ask you the second time the first appeal though is For young people here in the audience and wherever I'm heard Who and I don't remember ever doing this before in my lifetime not this way You have to admit David when you were preaching about wicked youth I Had to say that's me I'm wicked There's wickedness in me. There's sin in me Wicked Now that's something for preaching up and say Admit, you're wicked and get up and come down here and say oh god have mercy on me unless you bring me to nothingness You've probably already been brought to nothingness emptiness And ask you I'm not even gonna pray I'm just gonna ask you to get up Come up here and take me by the hand I'm gonna ask God to bind the devil that's trying to destroy your soul and I want to take dominion over that thing in Your life right now Devil been trying to tear your life apart and I know I have his mind right now there's some young people here right now and if you you're watching you can get right up and go to the pastor or your Leaders and I want those leaders and others to stand right in front Stand right beside the screen And you get up and you go up and take hands lay hold of and take dominion in Jesus name And I want everybody in this audience. I don't care what your age is. I don't care if you're a grandfather So David I've got wickedness in me not no God's gonna judge And I know I'm about to lose my faith forever Get up come and take me by the hand right now and I'm gonna ask God to take dominion in Jesus name get up Like a rushing Oh Well glory glory hallelujah Hallelujah Last night I felt that we were in the presence of God in a way that maybe I've never since before I told Francis when the service was over at the close of Dave's message. I felt a pathos I felt a burden for our nation. I felt like I was standing On holy ground When I walked through the door I Felt his presence And I knew this was the place We're But this is a temple Jehovah God Oh We are standing in his presence Oh Oh Oh In his presence there is so much joy beyond all nation at his feet peace of mind Can still be found If you have a need I know He has the answer Or reach out in flame Or you're standing Oh His presence Let us pray Jesus we We are standing in his presence We are standing in his presence On holy ground On holy ground
