In this sermon, the preacher starts by describing a situation where he was rushing to speak to an audience of 35,000 people, with 10,000 of them wanting to kill him. He then talks about the importance of living in boldness and without fear, as fear goes against faith in Jesus. He emphasizes that trusting in God eliminates fear of the future and worldly concerns like the stock market. The preacher also criticizes some faith teachers for not truly understanding the gospel, stating that the gospel is not just about good news or the death and resurrection of Christ, but also about the Holy Spirit's presence in the world and in believers' lives.

I want to welcome you tonight to our meeting and just remind you again that tomorrow night and then Wednesday night we'll be here again at 7 and I'm going to ask a couple of our fellows to come. We're going to receive our offering tonight. I don't know if we're really prepared. Yes, we are prepared. Of course we're prepared. This offering tonight is going to go to Brother Lindsey and also tomorrow night and we just want to be a blessing to him. I know they've traveled all the way from Nashville to come here on the road and that's an expensive thing and they're going to be traveling back to Nashville when they leave here. We just want to be a blessing to them. So would you give tonight from your heart, a love gift to the Lord, but to Brother Lindsey tonight as an expression of your love for the Lord. If you're making a check, go ahead and make it to the church, Community Christian Fellowship, and then we will just give him one check when he leaves, alright? Let's just pray right now. Chris, why don't you just pray for the offering right where you are? Yes, bless the Lord. If you're like the brother that didn't have any money or finance, he just said the Lord told him to take the ring off his finger and put it in and give it to me. That was alright too. I didn't object to that. I wish I had a thousand people right now to do that. Amen? I'd get the $25,000 I need to publish my memory course. Hallelujah. And God's going to give it to me. Hallelujah. Blessed be the name of the Lord. I'm happy. Did the offering take you there? Good. You never can tell what I'm going to do in the pulpit or outside the pulpit. I never will forget one time I was over in the state of Arkansas, and I was supposed to conduct a meeting there in one of the larger counties in the state, and the largest church in that county, all the doctors and the professional men, the president of the Junior Chamber of Commerce, the bankers and all, attended this church. It was a Methodist church. I was supposed to begin a revival there. And the Lord told me, you take the text on whosoever is born of God, committed not sin, for the seed remaineth in him, and he cannot sin because he's born of God. The devil said, if you preach that in the pulpit Sunday morning, you will not preach Sunday night. And you haven't got in very little money to go on. And you had better just calm it down, keep quiet about it, and don't preach on that text. Well, the devil told me that Saturday night, and he told me that Sunday morning. And I got up and opened the Bible up and read, whosoever is born of God, committed not sin, for the seed remaineth in him, and he cannot sin because he's born of God. I said, if you're born of God, you live holy. If you don't live holy, you're not born of God. Uh-oh. I said, an honest man don't steal because he's honest. A truthful man don't lie because he's truthful. A pure man don't commit adultery because he's pure. A sober man don't get drunk because he's sober. And a child of God don't sin because he's a child of God. I didn't mean for that they couldn't sin. I can't eat a polecat, but I'm not eating one. I'm capable of doing a lot of things I'm not doing. Come on. Now, the Bible teaches that Christians have the power to overcome the devil. I believe that. Every step of the way, 365 days a year, nine hours, six minutes, and six seconds, you can slap the devil down. Amen. Now, I've always found that it pays to obey God when you start in the ministry, when you feel led of the Lord to preach on the subject. I was down in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. I'm going to speak at the First Baptist Church. I just conducted a big, large campaign in Laurel, Mississippi. Had thousands of people turn to God. This was not in recent years. It's been many years ago. I was to speak in the First Baptist Church in the city of Laurel, Hattiesburg. Walking down the street of the town, a merchant met me and said, are you the minister that's going to head the great campaign over at Laurel? Yes. I understand you're going to begin a revival at the First Baptist Church Sunday morning. I said, that's correct. I'm a member there. Do you know Reverend Tucker? I said, no, I don't know Brother Tucker. He said, whatever you do, don't say anything about Brother Tucker at the First Baptist Church. I said, why? He said, they didn't like him too well. I said, why didn't they like him? He said, because he talked about smoking tobacco so much. And said, whatever you do Sunday morning when you go in the pulpit, don't say anything about Brother Tucker. And if you want to be liked by the people, don't say a thing in the world about smoking tobacco. He said, because all the deacons of the church smoke tobacco. He said, I advise you not to say anything about him. Sunday morning, come around. I looked over the audience and told them about the prospects of having a great campaign in the city to win the lost of Christ. I said, I was walking down your prayer city the other day, evening. I run across a merchant. He is a member of this congregation. He asked me, did I know Reverend Tucker? I said, I explained that I didn't. And then he informed me that people in this church didn't like Reverend Tucker. And I inquired, why? And he said, because Reverend Tucker talked about smoking tobacco too much. And he advised me, whatever I did this morning, not to say a word about smoking tobacco. He said, because all the deacons of the church use it. Well, brethren, I'll give you my word of honor. I'll not say another word about the stinking, dirty, filthy, rotten habit of smoking tobacco. I preached on the blood of Christ and people got saved. Walked down the vestibule of the church and one of the deacons walked up to me and said, Reverend, he said, I was one of those deacons that had the stinking, dirty habit. But I quit smoking it today. I stopped right now. I said, thank God there'd be one less stinking deacon in the Baptist church. And I was, God has taken me over the, for 55 years. I've sought to please him above every human being. Hallelujah. Glory. I never will forget as a lad, as a young preacher, I had to work in the coal mines and also in the logging camps to make a living. Back in that day and hour, you could buy a chicken dinner for $0.15 if you had the $0.15. You could buy a cold drink for a nickel. And yet it worked all day for 10 hours, $0.05 an hour in the coal mines, 800 feet under the ground, and age didn't make a difference. I was working in the coal mine at 15 years old. Come on. Loading coal. We had a man in that mines that worked by the name of Manasco. And he was, every Saturday night he got drunk. He drank too much. In fact, if you drink any, you drink too much. And he also chewed tobacco. And his job was leading that old blind mayor outside the mines, loaded down with coal in a little bitty truck, I mean wagon. He'd take that coal out of the mines. And that old mayor, that mayor stopped in the mines and Brother Manasco would take his tobacco out, chew tobacco, put it in his mouth, and then he'd turn around and cut another piece and give it to the old blind mayor. You see, the mayor was a plug mayor. And Brother Manasco, I tried to lead him to the Lord, but I didn't have that privilege. Another brother led him to Christ, and he got praying that God would take the habit away, the chewing tobacco away from him. He got praying that God would take the habit away from him, and God took the habit, desire part away from him. But he still had to carry around that chewing tobacco for the old mayor. Always had to give that mayor a plug of tobacco. He was a plug mayor. So finally he, one day he was stopped, the mayor, old mayor stopped, he cut out, started cutting a piece of tobacco off. Brother Blankenship looked him in the face and said, Brother Manasco, you mean to tell me that Jesus Christ saved you from sin and took the desire for tobacco away from you? And you still have to give that old blind mayor? Why can't he take the habit away from the old blind mayor too? Why can't he take the appetite for that tobacco away from him? He said he can, and down on his knees he went. He prayed, oh Lord, you know I don't want to carry this tobacco around. It's temptation to me. Take it away from this mayor. Chew it up to the smoking tobacco, the chewing tobacco. And he reached in his pocket, pulled out the old tobacco, the plug of tobacco, threw it against the side of the mines and said, come on mayor. And the mayor walked away. And Blankenship gave his heart to God. Tell you right now, God can take tobacco away from an old mayor. He's got no problem with you. Amen. Hallelujah. I'm happy tonight. Glory. I reminded this fellow, sometimes people get so sad and so dis-put himself in such a bracket of life, they can't enjoy life. Come on. I'd rather be poor with joy in my heart and joy in my life and victory in my life and peace in my life than be the richest man in this country in a hospital. Amen. Glory. Excuse me. Glory. I remember one morning I was at the campus of Berkeley, and I stood before that crowd of people, and they gathered up to hear me speak. And I said, good morning. A little hippie looked up at me and hollered and said, what's good about it? I said, oh no, he looked in the mirror again. Hallelujah. Told them down here at the University of Florida, when I arrived the last time, I said, there's a great deal of advantages of being blind. I don't have to look at you punk rockers. If I had to look at you with that hairdo that you've got, I'd probably lay myself to death. And I'm enjoying life too much. Glory. Now, I've got a good subject tonight. I want to speak on the world and the Holy Spirit. It has been my privilege to study Calvin, teach Calvinism in a Bible school, and to study my brother Armenian theology, Western theology, moral governance, Romanism, you name any type of theology on earth, it's been my privilege to study it. And among the many theological studies that I've endeavored to understand and find out, one of the great problems, one of the greatest mistakes I've found in all of making, and it's made among full gospels in this country just as much as it is among Calvinism. This is what I'm going to deal with tonight. If you would have went into John Calvin's theology, he would have told you that the Spirit of God must draw me into Christ. And the Spirit only draw those that were free, foreknown, and predestined to be saved. Come on. And that in the Spirit there would be irresistible grace granted to them. They could not resist the grace of God. They would have to surrender their will to Christ. If you went, my soul, he'd leave the Holy Spirit-wooed sinners to God. If you went into Roman theology, they would tell you the same thing, that the Holy Spirit woos men to Christ. They claim that the Holy Spirit abides in the church, and according to their thinking, it's the only church that abides is the Roman church. I'm not going to go into long detail with that now. I think this is a case of ignorance. Dear me, if you went into my brother, the Wesbian doctrine, Wesby maintained that the Spirit of God had to draw men to Christ. Maintained the position that he had to draw men to Jesus. If you went into moral government, they would tell you that the Spirit of God had to change the will of man and draw him to God. All the records, all the theologians have been wrong on this score. Come on. I've had people come to me and tell me, my lost loved ones are going to be saved because the Bible said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved in thy household. And they took it conclusively that if they believed in Jesus Christ, that meant their whole household was going to be saved. So they quit praying for him. They quit witnessing to him. And the tears quit flowing down their cheeks. And they quit being burdened for him. And quit testifying about the grace of God to him. Come on. And as a result, their loved ones are still lost and on their way to hell. You hear me, woman, tonight. They misunderstood that passage because that passage healed in the jailer. And when Peter had been loosened from the prison, he thought his life was going to be taken. If he allowed the prisoner to escape and his whole household, my brother would receive punishment because he failed. And the fall here in the Bible makes it clear that if you believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, Peter is simply telling that jailer, you will not only be delivered from persecution and opposition. Come on. But your household will be secure. And it had reference to an earthly position on earth. Come on. Had no reference to the salvation of a soul there. You're applying it to the salvation of a soul is wrong in the sense of study. If I, by faith, can claim my lost loved ones to be saved, by faith, claim they're going to be saved anyhow, then they don't ever have to hear the word to have faith. Come again. They don't have to hear the word to have faith. They don't have to receive the word to have faith. And they don't have to breathe the word to be saved. Come on. If I can breathe for them, then automatically they don't need to believe. Catch it? You can believe all you want to that your loved ones are going to go to heaven. If they don't believe in Christ, they're screaming hell in their judgment. Come on. Let's get it straight. All your faith in the world will never take them to heaven. Many a mother has won a plea for the salvage of her soul, of the soul of her loved ones, and those loved ones went to hell. More suddenly said that we, me and my husband, traveled around the world in over 80 nations, telling the world, and bringing the men and women of Jesus Christ, and we lost our own children. Come on. Many a saintly mother and father, their own loved ones die and go to hell without Christ. Come on. You must understand, you must understand the Holy Spirit's work among the world. One of the great hindrance of revival in our generation is not because of discipline. Not because my brother, they've been regimented to pray. Not because they've been regimented, my brother, to fast. The greatest hindrance, my brother, to the church in our generation of having the kind of awakening they should have is a lack of knowledge concerning the Holy Spirit's work in the world. There are students of the Bible that turn to the second chapter of the book of Joel and said in the last days, said, God, I'll pour out my spirit in all flesh. Didn't read that way in Joel. Joel reads, it should come to pass, after those days, saith the Lord God, I'll pour out my spirit in all flesh. And Peter did not quote the passage as it reads in Acts the second chapter. He did not quote it as it read in the book of Joel. Because Joel deals with an escape process concerning the nation. And Peter in the day of Pentecost was preaching to the Hebrew people. He said, give me an attunement, ye dwellers in Jerusalem, let all the house of Israel roar assuredly. He didn't preach to a Gentile in the day of Pentecost. Come on. He preached to the Hebrew nation. That's the reason he quoted the prophet Joel. When he went down to Cornelius' household, he didn't quote the prophets. Why? Because they were Gentiles. They didn't have the prophets. Come on. Now, let's get some things straightened out here. Joel's prophecy was in the last day, saith God, I'll pour out my spirit in all flesh. Was it fulfilled in the day of Pentecost? Never. Then there's a thought that says to us, there's going to be an early and latter rain. The early rain took place at Pentecost in the last day. If God's going to suddenly pour out His Spirit, they're going to have a latter rain here. Come on. Now, a lot of sincere people believe that. But they don't know prophecy. And they don't know Israel. Being ignorant of Judaism, ignorant of the law, ignorant of the Torah, and ignorant of the promise of God in the Old Testament. They take verses of the Bible in the Old Testament and apply it to the church when they're not related to the church. Come on. The nation was promised the restoration of the land in the book of Joel, beginning with the day of the Lord. And when Christ comes, He's going to establish His millennial reign. He's going to allow the land to prosper. He's going to allow the wheat fields to bear forth its grain. And the almond tree is going to produce and going to blossom. And all Jerusalem is going to be clerished, my brother. And God's going to give them the early and latter rain in the first month. They never had the early and latter rain in the first month in the history of Israel. I believe they had it before Adam ever sinned. But in the history of Israel, they never had the early and latter rain in the same month. But they're going to have it in the early and latter rain during the millennial reign of our Lord. Come on. And after the early and latter rain, He's going to pour out His Spirit. Read it in your Bible. It should come to pass after those days. After what days? After you have the early and latter rain. After God restores everything. That the palmer worm and canker worm are destroyed. What is the palmer worm and canker worm? But those insects that will destroy your wheat fields if you don't keep the law of God. Come on. And all the destruction and all the curse that came because men didn't keep the law of the Old Testament. All that curse is going to be removed. And after it's removed, He's going to pour out His Spirit in all places. Come on. Read it. The early and latter rain could have no reference to a spiritual application. If you know Israel, you know the land was promised to them and the restoration of their land. But the concept that is built in the world today is that the Spirit of God will be all over the whole world. And therefore, the whole world is going to turn to God. And everybody around the country in the various school fields are hollering, Watch the move of God. I had a fellow come on the campus at Berkeley. He threw his feet in the air and said, Glory to God forever. We're going to take this campus to Jesus. He said, I want to pray with everybody I want to be prayed for. And every communist and socialist and radical walked up there to be prayed for. I feel so sorry for the man. They were just making light. Sat around and made light of him. Just made light of him. Lanked about him. Choked about him. Went away from there. And I said, Come on, brother. Let's go down here and get some coffee. I want to inform you right now. I've heard him tell this from the pulpit. That in the midst of all the great ballgames in the country. Right in the midst of all the great ballgames. They're certainly going to stop. The Spirit of God is going to move all over the place. And they're going to weep and cry. And they're going to get out of the beach. And they're going to turn to God. And the whole audience was shouting. Come on. Then I've heard it over TV. That all China is turning to the Lord. Didn't know they were not still smuggling Bibles in China. Then I heard it on TV. That the gospel is going behind the Iron Curtain. I wish the Soviet Union would let down the bars and quit smuggling. We wouldn't have to smuggle Bibles behind the Iron Curtain. Come on. We hear about Bibles in this age and hour. And you've got more prostitutes in the streets of this country. Than you've got my brother's Sunday school teachers. You've got more drug addicts and drug pushers. Than we've got preachers in this country. We've got more drunks than we've got Christians. Come on. Let's get to the downright honest. We butcher 1,500,000 babies every year. Unborn children. And we call ourselves a Christian nation. We're more a nation of infidels and murderers and thugs and thieves. You know, I like that. You're supposed to wave a flag. You said, ah, this nation under God. With a champagne glass in the other hand. Then you're a Christian. You hear me a moment or two. I was walking out of the full gospel businessmen's meeting. World Convention in the city of San Francisco. Where I'd been a guest speaker. Walking me was an international direction. We walked outside. Outside that convention. And he said, brother, this whole town is going to turn to God. This whole community. This whole state of California is going to be built. I never had such a show. We never had such a convention in our lives. This whole western hemisphere is going to move in the power of God. I said, you think so, brother? He said, you knew, don't you? I said, no, sir. I said, look across the street. Oh, that's some young girls and boys just coming out of a dance. I said, young girls? Who do you think you're kidding, sir? That's not young girls. They've got girls clothes on. But they're not girls. They're boys. And if you put a badge on me, I can arrest more people. More people within 10 blocks of this convention. I can arrest more people than you had in the convention. Than a bunch of queers. We don't recognize the sinfulness of man around about us. As long as the church has got this idea, that we're going to have a great part of a revival in our day and time. Me, I've been inspecting it, doing nothing in the world about it. Come on. It's coming, it's coming, it's coming, it's coming. And I almost likely found they said persecution is coming down the way. Don't even make the devil mad in the present tense. Do not have revival until the church understands how the Holy Spirit operates with the sinner. Let me call your attention to a few factors. The Holy Spirit is God. I think that's undefeatable in this crowd. If the Holy Spirit is God, He does a perfect work. Is that right? If the Holy Spirit does a perfect work, then, my brother, everyone that the Holy Spirit works on, or deals with, and can receive that work, must receive it. Because the Holy Spirit can't fail. Right? And if the Holy Spirit is to win everybody to God, why ain't everybody on earth saved? Come on. Come on, man. Why ain't everybody that hears the gospel saved? I wouldn't have thought that everybody had ever heard this preacher, a priest that got saved. Man, day of life, earth went holy. I'd explode for joy. The rapture, I'd go whether the rapture took place or not. Hear me right now. I want to inform you right now. All that's heard me preach about heaven found Christ. Many of us still rejected the Savior. Now, I want to ask you why. Were they predetermined by the Lord, foreknown and predetermined by the Lord, to reject Christ as the Calvinist claimed? Come on. Well, if the Holy Spirit was to be God, I'd have to believe that. Why? Well, I believe that the Holy Spirit cannot fail unless it was His will to fail. Come on, you catch what I mean? Now, if the Holy Spirit doesn't intend to win men to God, whose job is it to win men to Christ? The only, the only, the only ones involved in it is the body of Christ in the church. Come on. If we recognize the Holy Spirit is not to win our sinful companions and sinful associates to Jesus, we'll recognize the Holy Spirit's purpose is not that, then we'll realize that it's our purpose, God's purpose in our life, and we'll do something about it. Come on. Your witness is going to determine whether your loved ones and friends go to heaven or hell. Come on. Let's find out what the Scripture has to say now. If it's not according to the testimony of the Holy Scriptures, then don't believe it. John 14 and verse 16 says, I'll pray the Father, and He'll send you another companion, that he may abide with you forever. Even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot, cannot, cannot receive, for they see him not, neither know him. But ye know him, for he dwelleth with you and shall be in you. Last night I told you the Holy Spirit abided with the church 365 days a year, nine hours, six minutes, and six seconds. Tonight I tell you that the Holy Spirit is also with the world. Also with the world. He abides in this world right now. Come on. And he abides to deal with the sinful world you and I live in. And his work is carried on now. He doesn't try to do things. He does things. For he is the work of the Holy Spirit in relationship to the sinner. The sinner cannot receive the work of the Spirit according to this verse. Turn with me also to the Corinthian letter. Paul says in plain words, The natural man receiveth not the things that be of the Spirit, neither can he know them. Come on. Therefore we shall say unto him, We have not received the Spirit of this world, but the Spirit which is of God, whereby we plainly know the things given us of God. We speak wisdom among them that are perfect, not the wisdom of this world, nor the principles of this world that come to naught. We speak a hidden wisdom which is not of the principles of this world. Had they known, they wouldn't have crucified the Lord of Glory. The world by its wisdom knew not God. Come on. The Bible fully declares, and there's not a verse or scripture in the Bible that says sinful men can receive the work of the Spirit, understand the work of the Spirit, or receive the things of the Spirit. No wonder Peter said, I mean Stephen said in his unusual, beautiful message, The stiff-necked and uncircumcised heart, you do always resist the Holy Ghost, even as your fathers. Come on. This is not Peter, Stephen would not only apply that to the people then, but he applied it to past ages. The Holy Spirit's called the Spirit of Truth. What he's ever said and pronounced in the world is truth. Come on. What is the Holy Spirit's attitude concerning sinners in the Old Testament? Turn with me to Genesis 3, 15, and let's read. God said to the devil, Because thou hast done thus, I will put enmity between thy seed, the seed of Satan, and the seed of the woman, the virgin-born child. And thou seed, the seed of Satan, will bruise his heel, and the seed of the woman shall bruise thy head. There's enmity between the seed of Satan, the wicked, the world, and Jesus Christ, the seed of the woman. There's opposition between each other. If my brother, the world, can receive Christ, there'll never be that opposition. Come on. The Holy Spirit here has let us know that the world is going to be Christ-rejected. Come on. This is poured out through every verse of the Bible. I'll dare you to give me one passage of Scripture concerning the death of Christ on the cross that doesn't point to the fact that the world rejects Christ. He is who hath pleased our report, and to whom hath the arms of the Lord been revealed. For he grew up before him as a tender plant, as the root out of a dry ground. There was no form nor cognizance about him that we should desire him. He is despised and rejected of man. Come on. As from one whom man hid their face. That don't sound like acceptance. He is despised, yet we are seemingly not stricken and smitten of God and afflicted. Come on. I want you to know the Old Testament copies said that by the Spirit of the Lord proclaimed that Christ would be rejected by a godless world. Come on. There are in the record of the Bible, there are 18 crosses of the Bible pointing to the Israel that Israel would reject Christ. He said of Israel, If I stretch forth my hands to against same people. Read it in that Romans the 7th, 11th chapter. The Bible tells you concerning Israel that they would have an eye to see and not see, ear to hear and not hear, heart to understand and not understand. God said concerning Israel, Behold I want in you a day which you'll not believe, though a man told you. Come on. You'll not believe. God said there'd remain an unbelief. How dare you to take the language of the Bible and show me one testimony of the Spirit of God that sinners would receive Christ. The Old Testament reads with the doctrine a Savior's coming to be rejected. A Savior's coming to be despised. A Savior's coming to be turned to naught. A Savior's coming that people are going to hide their face from Him. A Savior's coming that's going to be rejection of Israel, rejection of sinners, that's going to be crucified, that's going to be the full cross, that's going to rise the third day. Glory. The message of the Holy Spirit is that men are going to reject Jesus. Come on. You tell me that. Many a person says my girl's a good girl but she's not a Christian. She's a Christ-rejecting devil. My boy's not a good boy but he's not a Christian. He's a Christ-rejecting sinner. Come on. You kid yourself. You pacify that situation in your whole life and they'll die and go to hell. Remind me of a woman that called me long distance from Seattle when I was at Berkeley. She said, Do you know my daughter, Shirley? I said, Yes. I had no work. She said, Can you contact her? I said, Yes. Tell her I'm coming down there this afternoon. I said, I'll do so. Thank you. I called her on the phone. She said, I don't want to see her. I said, You're going to see her. I said, Don't you hang up on me either. She said, I can't see her here. I said, I know you can't. You're living over there with two men. They're treating you like your little sheep whore. I said, You can't. You're going to see your mother. She's coming down here. You're going to see her. She said, I won't see her. I said, If you don't see her either there or uptown you're going to have me in your shadow. You're not going anywhere and I'm not going to be right on your footsteps. You can rest and put me in jail but I will be there next morning with you and I'll tell you about your sin every day of the week. And I'm coming over there right now if you're not planning on going to see her and start in your front doorsteps and start preaching. Those men beat me up, they'll go to jail and I'll go to the hospital but I'll still preach you the truth. She said, Where can I see her at? I said, I'll make the arrangements. I told her the cafe she could meet her up there at a certain time. I knew her plane would arrive there when she'd get there in Ebeneezer Hill. So I made the arrangement for her to see her mother. After that, that mother called on the phone and said, Holy Hubert! My daughter said she didn't want you to bug her anymore and didn't want me to bug her anymore. She didn't want me around. She didn't want you around. She said, I don't want you to bug her anymore. I said, I'll call her on the phone. Oh, don't do that! She's a good girl. We just don't understand. I said to myself, good thing she don't ask me what I thought of her daughter. I said, I'll call her. I hung up. I called this daughter on the phone and I said, Now don't you cut me off! I want to tell you your mother thinks you're a good woman. I think you're a little cheap whore. You're already rotten. You're destroying your mind, destroying your body, smoking your marijuanas and you said you didn't want me to bug you. The last time I had that said to me was a girl right here. Her mother came from Phoenix, Arizona and came in here and finally contacted her daughter and I made the arrangement for her to contact her daughter. Her daughter told me the same words. You told your mother you didn't want me to bug you anymore and I said, No! She took my brother Doug and jumped out of a window and I seen her brain smashed out on telegraph avenue and cried over her. I don't want to cry over you. Don't you cut me off of your virtual apartment. I don't want to cry and weep over you. You're destroying yourself. Everything that's good about you, everything that's decent, everything that can be clean and be happy and contained in life, you're destroying. You're attacking yourself, body, mind and soul and being. I said, I want to pray for you. I bowed my head and started praying. I got crying and weeping. On the other end of the line I heard that girl say, Hubert, can I hang up now? She said, I thank you and hung up. She gave her heart to God with the attitude that that mother had is the attitude that the church has got towards sinful people. Light. Come on. Light. No death. No holy God to answer to. No God that hates sin. The church is responsible because they don't make it clear that men without hearts are totally evil. There's nothing good, no not one. Their throat isn't open to pucker. The part of this was under their lips. Come on. When you were the servants of sin, you were free from righteousness. They have no holiness. They have no goodness. They have no righteousness. They don't do good. And Christ rejects you. And when you reject Christ, you reject holiness and righteousness. Sinful people don't hear me. They are constantly rejecting the truth. And the only way in the world they're going to be saved is by you winning them. Paul said, knowing the terror of the Lord, we persuade men. Who got to persuade? We do. Come on. I could teach you to prosper every day of your existence on planet earth if I didn't tell you about the Savior's love and his death on a cross. I was, as a Christian, I failed God. Come on. You should have gotten what would happen in your life. But I had better tell you about your wickedness and your unholiness and your need of a Savior to make you clean and make you pure. Hallelujah. Glory. Glory. I want to make it clear to you tonight that the Spirit of God does His work. He reveals the guilt. I once said He had reproved the world of sin. What kind of sin? A sin because they grieved not on me. I went to a faith conference one time. I don't think they ever want to invite me again back. Most of the faith conferences I've found in this country are good Christian men, but they're just as ignorant of the Bibles as I am about hydrogen bomb. Probably know more about hydrogen bomb than they know about the Bible. They're good entertainers, all right. They make people laugh. Well, that don't prove you're holy because you make people laugh or that you're carrying on the work of God. You can hand out mirrors and make most of the crowd nowadays laugh. Preaching the truth, brother, is what the world needs. I went to this faith conference and a man, a brother sat there and dined with him that evening and he looked up from the table and he said, as another brother approached him and said, I don't know what I'm going to preach on tomorrow morning. He said, I never heard you talk that way. He said, you didn't hear Holy Hubert's message today, did you? He said, no, I didn't. He said, I'm going to get that tape. I've got to get that tape. He said, what did you preach on, Hubert? I said, doubt. Go to a faith conference and teach doubt? I said, yes. What are you going to preach on tomorrow morning? I said, doubt. What are you going to preach on tomorrow morning? I said, because I want to be on the side of the Holy Spirit. Uh-oh. I want to be on the side of the Holy Spirit. He comes to reprove the world of sin, of sin because they believe not, of sin because they believe not, of sin because they believe not on me. Read it now. The Spirit comes to say they rejected Jesus. Come on. Look past your mad world without your rejected Christ. As long as that church is getting on idea you bless me and I'll bless you program, they're not going to consider that. Come on. We're living in an age and hour in which the Holy Spirit has been grieved, grieved, grieved because men have got on the blessing program all along. They're fishing on the wrong side of the boat. Come on. They get on the side of the new birth. They get on the side of the gifts. They get on the side of healing. They get on the side of divine healing. They get on the side of miracles. They get on the side of miracles. They get on the side of the glory and presence of the Lord. They get on the side of heaven. When there's more sinners on the other side, the doubt, the unbelief, the skepticism, the drunkenness, the lewdness, the sensuality, the dirty life, we're fishing on the wrong side of the boat. Come on. I want you to catch this. A sin because they believe not. A right because I go to my father. A judgment because a prince in this world judged. It leaves a sinner having rejected the Holy One. It leaves a sinner without an example because Christ went to the father. It leaves a sinner without any wholeness. And it leaves him picked for the judgment of an angry God. All the Holy Spirit does in the world is to tell the world you are guilty, you're unholy, you're filthy, and you're under judgment. The message of the Holy Spirit is condemnation. We don't want to preach that. We want to preach something beautiful. Come on. We've got the wrong picture. I've known revivalist probably as no other man in this nation has known. Come on. Blessed be the name of the Lord. God's opened my heart to the fact that men without Christ are totally unholy, totally filthy, totally corrupt. There's not a religion on earth that can teach them a set of rules to go by they wouldn't read. If they're Buddhists, they would not follow the eight stricts of the path. If they were Jews, they would not keep the 613 laws of Moses. Come on. If they were Christians, they couldn't even think right. I'm telling you right now, man is a Christ rejecter. He is this time rejected of man. The Spirit of Christ says to the world, you're guilty. You're rejecting the Holy One. You reject Christ. You reject holiness. You reject the judgment. He's coming on your pathway. What's the church supposed to tell him? He loves you and died for you. Come on. What's the church supposed to tell him? You're guilty, but he'll pardon. You're a slave, but he'll praise. You're sick, but he'll heal you. Glory. You have knees, but he'll beat those knees. Come on. Faith is built upon the message given to us concerning the death of Christ, his burial and resurrection. I want to inform you right now. You will, under the grace of God, the Holy Spirit teaches men to compare spiritual things with spiritual things. Under law, they compare natural things with spiritual things. You go back under the law, every time you're trying to get an idea of sowing and reaping, you go back under the law of Moses. Come on. See, faith, brother, is originated out of the custom of Jewish law and out of the law of Moses and the Levitical covenant, and that is contrary to the language of the Bible. Come on. You're not in the process of sowing anything. God sowed something in you that'll bring forth fruit. Come on. In Christianity, it is what God does in the human soul. Blessed be his name forever. Paul said, knowing the terror of the Lord, we persuade men. He said, it is all thanks to all men that I might win some. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. Come on. How can he hear without a preacher? How can he preach lest he be sent? You know, that passage is often misunderstood. Ha ha. I have had some people, so many people have got the wrong attitude about confession and faith there. In the first part of that passage, he says Israel saw it not by faith. They saw it keeping law. And when Moses started to die, when Moses started to die, he'd given them the law of Moses, and he started to pass it on on the other sea. He made this unusual statement. Stay not in our heart, who shall ascend? And he didn't mean to go to heaven. Who shall ascend up there and receive the law? Come on. Or who's going to go across the waters to receive the law? Come on. Had to cross over the river Jordan, cross my brother over the river Jordan to receive the law. But he said the word of the law and Moses had already taught them the law. And Paul uses that as a beautiful illustration of the fact that the Gentile believers in the city of Cork of Rome already had the law, had the word of faith already in their hearts. The reason they had a message to confess was because they had already received the message. Come on. A lot of people get the impression I've got to confess, confess in order to have the message, confess in order to have the reality. Simply watch. You don't confess to get anything. You confess for a world to know Christ. The law was given to Israel that they might propagate it to the rest of the world. They received the law in order to teach another man and their lips and their heart was in their very mouth. The word of the law that Moses had given them and they would have propagated it all down to the pages of history. So there is right now by the grace of God given us the message of Jesus, death, burial and resurrection is given us. And for that reason we confess with our mouth and we believe in our heart and God just says that this is God. Come on. Some people get the impression that Paul was talking about a bunch of unbelievers that are confessing with their mouth and the church world is using that to a bunch of sinners. Church world is applying those verses to the unsaved. And that's a sickening thought. Come on. You see if you believe in Jesus as Lord you're going to confess it with your lips. No man can say Jesus is the Lord but by the Holy Ghost. Read Corinthians 20 chapter 2. Read it. Unless you have the work of the spirit of God you can't say he's Lord even. Come on. You can't do it when you acknowledge you're his Lord and you recognize he's laid in the grave he's alive in God's right hand. The world will never know Jesus Christ unless they know it from your lips. From your confession. Your confession to the world is not to benefit you and bless you primarily. No. It's because God has done something in your heart and you tell the world about it. Paul said we believe before we speak. We have to believe before we speak. Nowadays they're speaking without believing either. Come on. I want to get it here right now. If you're trying to muster up faith forget it. You're trying to grow up a process of faith forget it. The only thing to ever give you faith is the message. Come on. What message? Read it in the part of that passage what he tells you what the message is all about. His voice says faith you're coming by hearing you with the word of a word of God. Read the verse in front of you. Who hath read our report? It's the distinct promise that's given in the law of Moses concerning the death of Christ and his burial and resurrection. You know you'd be surprised I've been preaching 55 years and a lot of the time I've preached on radio many, many, many years. But right now I've never heard a gospel sermon on TV yet. Did you know that? I've never heard a gospel sermon on TV yet. I asked a group of faith teachers one time what's the gospel? One of them said the good news I said that's kids stuff. That was his what he believed the gospel was about. That's just about the knowledge some people have got. They don't know the book. And since they don't know the book they just get around and say the gospel is the good news. Is that all? What does the Bible say the gospel is? Another one of the men said the gospel is the death of Christ and burial and resurrection. I said no you're wrong again. I said you men don't know the Bible. There are the faith coppers too. I want to get it clear right now to you. I said you don't know the Bible and you don't know what the gospel is. You claim to be priest for years you don't still know what it is. What is the gospel? The gospel is according to Corinthians 15 verse 1, 2, and 3. O brethren I declare to you the gospel which I preach wherein ye stand which also ye are saved if ye keep it which also I received at the first how Christ died for our sin according to the scripture and that he was buried and rose the third day according to the scripture. The man was right about part of that he said Christ died and was buried and rose but that's not the full gospel. The full gospel is that he died according to the scripture. Come on. That he was buried according to the scripture. That he was raised according to the scripture. Come on. And I asked these three men to give me scripture from the Bible on the resurrection of Jesus and one of them could give only three verses the other give six and that's all they could give. I said you don't know many of the process of the old testament concerning his burial and resurrection do you? How in the world can you build them up in faith if you don't know the process of the Bible dealing with this burial and resurrection? Come on. You can't build them up in faith they can listen to you for fifty years be entertained by you but you never build their faith up. Come on. Then they asked me how many verses I could quote I said I'll give you 1,800 on his burial and resurrection if you want it. They're all right. People don't get on the radio and preach that he died for sin according to scripture. They don't preach the process of the Bible that pointed to the Savior's death on the cross. Come on. They don't preach that. They don't give the public Isaiah's prophecy. They don't give the public the book of Moses' prophecy. They don't give the prophecy of Moses in 49 chapters of Genesis. They don't give my brother the Isaiah's prophecy Zechariah's prophecy and Zechariah where they pierced his hands and his feet. They don't talk about the sermons coming to Isaiah Psalms 22. Come on. They just don't give all those promises of our Savior coming to the world to bleed and die and rise. The reason they don't give it is they don't know it. On Easter morning, yesterday morning 90% of the world didn't know the resurrection sermon. Come on. They couldn't take the resurrection and preach it from the Old Testament record because they don't know it. Come on. You get acquainted with the prophecies of the Bible according to this death, birth, and resurrection and tell your loved ones that Christ died according to the prophecy of Isaiah. He died according to the prophecy of Moses. He died according to the prophecies of the Psalmist. He died according to the prophecies of Zechariah. He died according to the prophecies of my brother Jeremiah. Come on. Come on. You can point those prophecies to them. They'll have reason to believe in Jesus. I turned to a Jewish rabbi. We were standing before that Jewish rabbi. I'd given him every prophecy of the Old Testament I could think of. I got a young preacher. He told me about the Torah. I didn't know what he was talking about. Of course, that means law. I was so ignorant I didn't know what the word Torah meant. I turned to him and I said, I'm going to ask you a final few questions and I'm going to leave you, my friend. I asked him, do you believe Jesus was a prophet? He said, sometimes I think he was. I said, do you believe he's the greatest teacher of the Talmud, the greatest Talmudic teacher that ever lived? He taught the Torah. He was the name of an man, one of teachers ever lived. Believe him, you're doomed fail in the final two hours lecture 1. if he violated religious laws. He said, yes. I said, could a Jew put a Jew to death in the Medo-Persian kingdom? When Israel was a slave to the Medo-Persian kingdom, if the Jew violated the law of Moses, could they put him to death? He said, yes, they could. The Medo-Persians allowed him to put the Jew to death if he violated the law. What about the Greek government? Alexander the Great granted us great religious liberty. And if a man violated the law of Moses, when we were slaves to that, Alexander the Great, the Jewish nation could execute that man. I said, what about Rome? Because if you put a Jew to death in Rome, he said, no. I said, you just admitted Christ was a Messiah. He said, I didn't. I said, you did. I said, except the book of Genesis of 49, chapter and verse 10 said, the scepter shall not depart from Judah. Nor a lawgiver between his feet till shallow come. I said, but for 2,300 years, the kingdom of Judah had a legal right to execute a man. And you just testified to that? They lost that right in the Rome? When they lost that right, finished the Roman historian rights and examinals, lo the scepter, that the high priest in Jerusalem said, lo, the scepter departing from Judah, and the Messiah does not come. The heathen historian acknowledged that Judaism acknowledged that the scepter departed from the nation. And the Messiah did not come. And the Messiah would come when the scepter departed. Come on. I said, God would allow you to reject the Savior, but never allow the Jew to put him to death. He said, I don't want to talk to you anymore. I said, sir, the scepter departed from Judah. The scepter departed from Judah. Christ was the Messiah. The scepter departed from Judah. And I'll let you sing that. God bless you, my friend. I walked away. He couldn't get over it. He went to his library. I quoted the Roman historian. He took the Roman historian's amulet down and read it. He searched it, and he had to acknowledge that the rabbi made that statement, the scepter departed from Judah, and the Messiah has not come. He read the book of Genesis over where that passage is found, 49th chapter of Genesis, verse 10. The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor the law give it to his feet, till Shallow come. He read that, and he read it, and he read it. And he studied it about 9 o'clock at night. His wife called him and said, I've got to have this matter settled. Well, but Puck went around, and she said, aren't you coming home? I'm not going to come home till I know. 4 o'clock in the morning, she called him again and said, dear, it's getting late. He said, I know that, but don't trouble me. I've got to find this out. By 11 o'clock in the daytime, he found Jesus Christ through the salvation of his soul. The next Saturday night, when I was preaching in the Presbyterian church, sir, at the back of the church was this rabbi and his wife. I walked back to make him acquainted with the pastor, acquainted with him. I said, sorry, my good friend, rabbi, I can't recall your name. I'm sorry. He said, don't call me rabbi. Call me brother. He traveled 15 and 1⁄2 years with me. You'll hear me a moment or two. I want to make it clear to you the thing how did faith come to hearing? How did faith come to him? By hearing. He heard a word, a word according to what? The prophet's statement concerning who? Jesus. Come on. That's how faith, brother, that's originally. From then on, he confessed twice, has been raised from the dead. I said that to you, that you will not point men to the Savior. Unless you point men to the Savior, they have no other way of reaching God. The body of Christ is the only means that man can be saved through Christ. God cannot deal outside his body, the church. The Holy Spirit wants to use you to give the message. And a world outside these doors can never know God outside of you. Your testimony, your testimony, your witness, it must be heard in the marketplace. It must be heard in the cafe. It must be heard at the grocery store. It must be heard in all places. Glory. Blessed be the name of the Lord. When God, when I found Jesus as a young lad, 15 years old, my heart was set on fire. I can't understand people that claim faith in Christ and do very little, so little about the gospel. I just can't understand it. God set me on fire. And around the city of Birmingham and every place I preached Christ. Sat in a Cadillac car, got medical doctorate, head of the human hospital. Had just been fornicating with another man's wife in the same hotel I was preaching in front of. I didn't have many people that day, but he gave his heart to God. He never seen me from the day he got saved till 28 years later when I went down in Kenyon in Africa. He put his big arms around my neck and cried like a baby. He had given his heart to Christ. I had been there for 28 years ministering the gospel. Had the greatest ministry Kenyans ever had. Arnold, my brother, gave his heart to God out of a hotel window because he was drunk the night before. And stayed on a drunk, and he saw me preaching on 2nd Avenue and 24th Street in Birmingham, Alabama. And that was on a Friday, and I didn't have much of a crowd. But he said, look at that fool down there, sat down. He hollered at me, even out of the window, and said that fool down there preaching to nothing but a few stagnant people on the sidewalk, hardly nobody listening to him. He said, well, why would he do a thing like that? And he got convicted of it and troubled about it and gave his heart to God. He was in Miami, Egypt for more than 18 to 20 years, missionary for the cause of Jesus. Come on. I like that. I've hit the man that I, the young black boy that I tried to kill with a gun before I got saved. I tried to kill him because he hit me with a rock. When I was playing football, I wasn't minding my own business. Hit me with a rock, and I got a gun and run him down in the black community and ordered him out in front of the house. His own mother told him to come out, said he won't shoot you. And then found out what it's all about, said you come in the house, sir. I want you to see me whoop that boy. And she laid it on him for hitting me with a rock. And right next door was a blind man, an old blind man that could quote Bible hour after hour. I went down there and talking with him one day, and he sat there, and we enjoyed a fellowship talking about God's word. And he said, I said, why not preach out here on your porch? Would you let me preach? He said, I'd be delighted. Go ahead, preacher. I went on ahead and preached. And every afternoon, I'd go down there, that black community and preach, and they'd gather around. And this boy that I was going to try to kill, he got saved. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. All over the city of Birmingham, I was privileged to see hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people find God. I knocked on the doors of more than 60,000 homes in the city of Birmingham to win the loss for God. Come on. Blessed be the name of the Lord. Blessed be the name of the Lord. I tell you right now, the spirit of the Lord gets hold to you like you ought to. You will testify. He'll testify me, and ye also shall, not might, can, or should, but ye shall bear witness. Come on. Ye shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost has come upon you. And ye shall, not can, not should, not might, but you shall be witness unto me. Come on. The spirit moves, you will move. The reason a lot of you never witnessed with Christ, you are not conscious of the presence of the Holy Spirit in your life. You live a headshot life. The only time you feel the presence of the Spirit is when you go to a meeting house somewhere. Amen? The only time you get disturbed and excited is when you go down to a church somewhere. You ought to get excited in the home. You ought to get excited in the buildings. You ought to get excited on the street corner. You ought to get excited in the marketplaces. I've preached in jail. I've preached out of jail. I've preached through jail bars. I've preached on trains. I've preached on buses. I've preached in airplanes. I've preached on submarines. I've preached on battleships. I've preached on every kind of vehicle you can think on planet Earth. I've preached to drunkards fighting on one side and two hound dogs howling on the other side. But God kept me doing a job. And let me inform you right now, women are not going to find Christ without it. And if you'll live with the presence of the Spirit and start testifying to Christ, there's no fear. And if you've got fear, you need the presence of the Lord in your life. Come on. You say, I don't know which way to turn. You need the direction of the Spirit of God in your life. Come on. I know the will of God, and I'm doing it. Glory. I want to inform you right now, your life can be a life of everlasting happiness and contentment because you can be in God's will. Know you're in God's will. Know if you die, you go to heaven. Come on. The hardest thing I have had to do in life is to preach on hell when I have a heart full of heaven. Glory. God wants you to be a happy person every day of your existence to walk with the King. Come on. The reason there is no fear is because of the fact that I let God take over. Come on. God takes your life over like a stocking bearing from the top of your head to the sole of your feet. You haven't got any fear anymore. Your trouble, the reason you're afraid to witness the people is because you live a half-shod life. Most of the people, my brother, are afraid of the public and live in fornication. Uh-oh. Why you so quiet, Paul? If you're afraid to witness, you don't want to witness because the people around you, you've been living sinful in their presence, and you know you can't afford to witness. Come on. They know you too well. Some fellow said, well, I'd rather live it than keep quiet about it. I said, the way you live, no wonder you're quiet about it. I live like you live, I wouldn't open my mouth about Jesus Christ. Glory. I want to make it conclusive that the only way you know human is because of the body that I'm in. You see these hands. You see these feet. Take the hands from my body, and you'll be less conscious of me. Take the body from me, and you will be conscious of my presence at all. Come on. The only way you can know that the body of Christ is here on Earth is that Jesus Christ is manifested in his body. Only way you can know Jesus is through his body. I give you this in a close. The Bible speaks in Revelations. The Revelations, and in him who hath loved us and washed our sins in his own precious blood, and hath made us kings and priests unto God. The Greek says king-priests. No priest could be a king in Israel. Come on. And no king could be a priest. Euzalus, a 19th king of Judah, thought he could be a priest. Went in the temple, laid hope to the horns of the orchard, and took hope. Leprosy took hope to him, and he died, and was not even buried among his fathers. You can't be a priest and king at the same time unless you get under the dispensation of grace. You've got to get under the grace of God to be a priest and a king, too. A priest was the only vehicle that God had to put there. Where Israel had to go through the priesthood to get to Jehovah. Come on. And the only way the world can get to Christ is through you, the church, the body of Christ. That's the priesthood. Come on. The world has to come through you because you're the priest of God, a holy priesthood, too. You're also a king. You have the authority to rule. You can rule by his authority over every situation of life you live under. Come on. The devil's power sends upon you. You can exercise his authority. And one of the saddest pictures on planet Earth today, we're taught that the believer's got authority. That's a sad picture. The believer's haven't got authority. He's got all of it. Come on. Some people get egotistical and high-minded, and the devil slaps them down right and left, simply because they believe they've got authority. Man, it don't matter. I want to tell you right now, I don't have any authority. But Jesus has got authority over every demon, every devil, and every archangel, and angel, and serpent, and cherubim, and every pain on Earth, and everything in time, and everything in eternity. Glory. Jesus got all authority. I don't take any authority. I acknowledge his. Glory, I'm getting blessed. When the devil comes around to try to trouble me, I say, shut up, devil. Shut up. I'm God's child. I'm redeemed by the blood. I belong to the king. Glory, he purchased me. He's got authority over you, devil. Shut up. Go to hell. I have wonderful picture. You have had picture all along. You couldn't imagine a man rushing to an audience of 35,000 people, said 10,000 wanted to kill him. Take the platform with a bunch of radicals and use their own PA system to free cigars. One professor called me a one man's army. He didn't know I had an elder brother along. Blessed be the name of the Lord. I want to let you know life is beautiful and life is sweet. Life can be better for you when you live in boldness. Live without fear. Fear is against faith. You cannot believe in Jesus, be afraid. Come on. If I was afraid that I might never be open, I'd be a very miserable person. I'm not, I guarantee you, I'm not chewing my fingernails. They need to be cut flat, by the way. I'm not pulling my hair out either. I'm not afraid of the future. Glory. No fear there when you believe God, you're trusting him. No fear, my brother, of the future of the world you live in. Not afraid of the stock market crumbling and falling apart. You know who controls the stock market, and it's not the rich men of this country. You believe that the stock market's controlled by humanity, you should be afraid. You'd be in a troubled spot. If you believe the military is controlled, and the military might of the world is controlled by men, you ought to be in a fray. Man, that'd be scary. I want to let you know since I believe that everything's controlled by my Jesus, he's got control of human. Hallelujah. Excuse me for getting so annoying. I want to let you know since I believe he controls everything, I haven't got any, I have got not one moment's discouragement in life. Not one moment. I've got everything to look forward to. Glory. Hallelujah. I don't want to hold you in alarm. I just want to let you know right now, if you really believe that it's all important what you do, what the Spirit of the Lord needs you to do, about testifying, come on, confessing Christ. The church is always faithful. You're in the church by faith in Christ Jesus. Come on. You're a member of that body by faith. You walk by faith. You live by faith. You stand by faith. You move by faith. And you are only in the Spirit as you have faith in Christ. Come on. And when you have moved by the Spirit of the Lord with faith in Christ, you testify. The church never fails. It always bears witness. Come on. It always, never fails. Hallelujah. Tomorrow night, when we touch on faith, we touch on the difference between the kingdom and the church, you're going to see something entirely different. Hallelujah. Blessed be His name forever. Oh, blessed be His name. I believe if you've got the right understanding concerning the world around about you, you'll not think it's strange when a man is blind to the gospel. You expect that from the world. Come on. You'll not think it's strange when the world hates you. You'll not think it's strange when they give you a hot tongue and cold shoulder. Come on. You'll not think it's strange when you're butted about by a godless man. It is better to will godless something for a will doing than for evil doing. Tomorrow night, the world hate you. Come on. And the world know us not because it knew him not. Come on, read it. The world don't recognize us because it didn't recognize him. Are you recognized by the world? You're in bad shape. I know they'll be recognized by the king. Glory. I know I've got his favor in my life. You've got a need tonight. God's able to meet that need and will meet it. Come on. There may be somebody here that needs the Savior, needs his love, needs the forgiveness of sins. You've been rejecting Jesus too long. You left Christ out of your life too long. You need to know that your sin is forgiven. You need to know that every transgression is removed. You believe in Jesus, but you never had the certainty, the assurance by the Spirit that you're a child of God. You never had the witness of the Spirit in your heart that you belong to Jesus Christ. Now is the time when you can have that assurance. Come on. And if you're here in this audience and you have went back on God and failed God, and you want to come back to Jesus Christ and let God kiss away your sins, now is the time. If you've got a sick body, come on. He'll heal you. Amen.
