In this sermon, the preacher emphasizes the need for preachers to separate themselves from worldly influences and dedicate themselves fully to preaching the word of God. He criticizes theological centers and seminars that teach preachers to be entertainers rather than faithful messengers of the Bible. The preacher warns against compromising the message of the Bible for the sake of pleasing the masses, stating that this leads to a distortion of God's blueprint for our lives. He urges preachers to prioritize the salvation of souls over entertaining the congregation, emphasizing the importance of preaching the truth even if it may offend some.

Now we need to pray. Can we bow our heads before the dear Lord for a moment? Can we just in reverential worship and fear before our God just be quiet in our heart? Our lovely Father, Keeper of our souls, Author and Finisher of our faith, we bless Thee that we are the children born again as children of God. We bless Thee, our Father is God, the Heavenly Father. And unless that happens, then we have the devil and our earthly fathers, but we have to have two fathers. It's either Satan or it's God. We are the children of the devil, who serve the devil, even in religion, or we're children of God if we're born again. We must be born again. No man is born a child of God. We're born children of our fathers and mothers with a simple nature, condemned to eternal damnation from the moment of reckoning. And except a man be born again, he cannot see the King of heaven. He cannot. There's no hope of God ever allowing him. Thank Thee that there's that which is born of the flesh and that which is born of the Spirit. We're all born of the flesh, but to be born of the Holy Spirit, born of God, that we praise Thee for, through grace, by our faith and free will, in what God asks of us, to embrace of what He's done. So come to us who know Thee, minister to our hearts through Thy holy word and to the unsaved who are damned for eternity, who sit here tonight, unless they are born again by grace, through faith, in earnest repentance, no matter what the cost, and a mighty encounter by faith with Jesus Christ, that they never recover, and every soul that knows them on earth will be saved. Earth will see the drastic change from the day, from the moment they rise from their knees. To all of us, come minister by Thy holy word. In Jesus the Christ's holy name and for His glory. Amen. Matthew 24 verse 1, And Jesus went out and departed from the temple. Jesus went out and departed from the temple. That was not the first occasion in the Bible that God departed from the temple. The first time it caused such grief that all the godly wept when written by God's hand is Ichabod. I've had enough. Over the house he allowed men to meet with him. In the holy of holies. That was not the first time. This time they didn't know it was God. God with us. God manifests in the flesh. God was in Christ, this book teaches us. They didn't know it was God, and this time it was a billion times more devastating. In the light of eternity of what was happening, Jesus went out with a great grief. Don't doubt that. It's what happened there. And departed from the temple. And his disciples came to him for to show him the buildings. His disciples came to him for to show him the buildings of the temple. Someone has to ask that baby to go downstairs. Just standing out the front door doesn't help at all. Please. And Jesus went out and departed from the temple. And his disciples came to him for to show him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said unto them, see not all these things. Verily I say unto you, there shall not be left here one stone upon another that shall not be thrown down. And as he sat upon the Mount of Olives, as he sat upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately. The disciples came unto him privately, saying, tell us, when shall these things be? When shall these things be? And what shall be? What shall be the sign of thy coming? What shall be the sign of thy coming and of the end of the world? The end of the world? And Jesus answered. Jesus answered and said unto them, take heed that no man deceive you. Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name saying, I am Christ. I am Christ. Many shall come in my name saying, I am Christ. And shall deceive many. And ye, ye shall hear of wars. Ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that ye be not troubled. For all these things must come to pass. But the end is not yet. The end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom. Nation shall rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom. And there shall be famines. There shall be famines and pestilences and earthquakes, earthquakes in diverse places. All these, all these are the beginning of sorrows. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted and shall kill you. And ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. Ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended and shall betray one another and shall hate one another. And then shall many be offended and shall betray one another and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise. Many false prophets shall rise and shall deceive many. Many false prophets shall arise and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. Because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. He that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. And this gospel, this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations. This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations. And then shall the end come. Then shall the end come. Now in this unique passage of eschatology, that is the order of events leading up to Christ's return for his church, in this unique passage of eschatology, Jesus reveals to us, Jesus reveals to us that in the last days, in the last days, there will be a staggering escalation. In the last days, there will be a staggering escalation of wars across the world. Nations shall rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom. In the last days, there will be a staggering escalation of wars across the world. In the last days, there will be a staggering escalation of natural disasters and widespread devastating diseases. There shall be famines and pestilences and earthquakes in diverse places, literally in place after place after place after place. In the last days, there will be a staggering escalation of natural disasters and widespread devastating diseases. In the last days, there will be a staggering escalation of hatred against Christians, hatred against Christians worldwide. Ye shall be hated of all nations, of all nations for my name's sake. In the last days, there will be a staggering escalation of hatred against Christians worldwide. In the last days, there will be a staggering escalation, a staggering escalation of erroneous preaching. In the last days, there will be a staggering escalation of erroneous, heretical preachers. Many false prophets shall rise. Many false prophets shall rise. In the last days, there will be a staggering escalation of erroneous, heretical, yet dynamic preachers who will thrive in popularity under the banner of Christianity. Many false prophets shall rise and shall deceive many. Now that Greek word is staggering, the most, the masses, literally the masses who outwardly embrace Christianity in the last days under the banner of Christianity, in the last days there will be a staggering escalation of erroneous, heretical preachers, erroneous, heretical, yet dynamic preachers who will thrive in popularity under the banner of Christianity worldwide. In the last days, there will be a staggering escalation of moral decadence, a staggering escalation of moral decadence worldwide. Iniquity shall abound. Now that Greek word can only be used outside of what Christ was using it. If you speak of an avalanche, gains momentum so swiftly, devastating everything, wiping away every single thing in its way, nothing will stop it. Every restriction, every line or limit thrown aside to such a degree will be staggered. In the last days, there will be a staggering escalation of moral decadence worldwide resulting in a massive falling away, a massive, massive falling away because iniquity shall abound. The love of many shall wax cold. Now that word many, the most, Christ said. Through the last days, what's going to happen through depravity and filth and every restriction wiped away in the name of freedom of speech and art, the love of the most who outwardly profess Christianity worldwide under the banner of Christianity. In the last days, there will be a staggering escalation of moral decadence worldwide resulting in a massive falling away, a massive falling away and departure from the truth of this holy book because iniquity shall abound. The love of the masses, the most wax cold who outwardly embrace Christianity. And yet in spite of all this, in the last days, there will be a staggering escalation of world mission enterprise attempted by the faithful. There will be a staggering escalation of world mission enterprise attempted by the faithful. This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations and then shall the end come. But tonight, I want to single out only one of these staggering statements that Jesus made in this passage which we find in verse 13, verse 11, sorry. Many false prophets shall rise. Many false prophets shall rise and shall deceive. Many shall deceive the masses in the last days who outwardly gather under the banner of Christianity. Many false prophets shall rise and shall deceive the masses. Yes, the masses who embrace outwardly Christianity. Now, the tragic result, the tragic result of such widespread erroneous preaching in the last days, the tragic result of such widespread erroneous preaching in the last days, I believe, I believe is revealed to us in the next chapter. That is chapter 25 where Jesus says in verse 1, then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins which took their lamps and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were wise and five were foolish. They that were foolish, they that were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them, took no oil with them. But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. The wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. While the bridegroom tarried, while the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight, at midnight, there was a cry made. Behold, the bridegroom cometh, the bridegroom cometh, go ye out to meet him. Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said unto the wise, give us of your oil, give us of your oil, for our lamps are gone out, our lamps are gone out. But the wise answered saying, not so, lest there be not enough for us and you. But go ye rather to them that sell and buy for yourselves. And while they went to buy, while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, the bridegroom came. And they that were ready, they that were ready went in with him to the marriage. And the door was shut, the door was shut. Afterward, afterward came also the other virgins saying, Lord, Lord, open to us, open to us. But he answered and said, Lord, verily I say unto you, I know you not, I know you not. Now the five foolish virgins believed that they were true Christians and that what they had heard and embraced from preachers and searchers was the truth. But they were tragically deceived. They were tragically deceived in what they had heard from these many false prophets that Christ warned would rise and thrive in the last days and would deceive the masses. They were tragically deceived in what they had heard from these many false prophets that Christ warned would rise and thrive in the last days and would deceive the most, the masses who gather under the banner of Christianity worldwide in the last days. But wait, wait, let's also carefully consider, let's also carefully consider the five wise virgins for there's something also tragic revealed here about them in the last days. While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. I believe this tells us of the spiritual state of the true church generally worldwide in these fearful last days. I believe this tells us of the spiritual state of the true church generally worldwide in these fearful, fearful last days, which in the light of the rest of the scriptures, in the light of the rest of the scriptures will be the result of the dearth and scarcity of uncompromising truth being preached generally in the evangelical pulpits worldwide in the last days, which in the light of the rest of the scriptures will be the result of the dearth and the scarcity of uncompromising truth being preached generally worldwide in the evangelical pulpits in these fearful, fearful last days. Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, when I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread nor a thirst for water, but of hearing of the words of the Lord. And they shall wander, they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east. They shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord and shall not find it. In that day, in that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst. Amos 8, verse 11 to 13. In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst. That day is now, beloved. Christians worldwide faint for thirst in their search for uncompromising truth being preached and safe spiritual fellowship. Christians worldwide faint for thirst in their search for uncompromising truth being preached and safe spiritual fellowship. But wait now, there is also a third group of people spoken of in this parable that are There's also a third group of people spoken of here in this parable that are overlooked by most of us, those who must herald the coming of the Lord with great urgency, whose cry must wake up a slumbering, sleeping, compromising church worldwide. Those who must herald the coming of the Lord with great urgency, whose cry must wake up a slumbering, sleeping, compromising church worldwide. And it is to this group that I specifically would preach tonight. It is to this group I urgently would cry the words of Paul in 2 Timothy 4, verse 1. I charge thee, therefore, by God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead, the living and the dead, and his appearing and his kingdom. I charge thee, therefore, by God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead that is appearing in his kingdom. Preach the word. Preach the word. Be instant, in season, out of season, be instant, ready, be ready, in season, out of season, be ready always, always. Reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. Reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but after their own lusts, after their own lusts, shall they heap to themselves teachers having itching ears, and they shall turn away their ears from the truth. They shall turn away their ears from the truth. They shall turn away their ears from the truth and shall be turned unto fables. The time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but after their own lusts, shall they heap to themselves teachers having itching ears, and they shall turn away their ears from the truth and shall be turned unto fables. This is what is happening right now worldwide, beloved. This is happening right now worldwide, beloved. Jesus warned us that in the last days, many false prophets shall rise in the context, in the immediate context he's speaking within the church, that which is his religion, that which is in the name of Christianity. He's not speaking about other religions yet, no. We deceive people of the truth of Christ. This is happening right now, beloved. They're turning away their ears now. What God said then is happening now. In the last days, what he said would happen in the last days, and they shall be turned unto fables. Oh, heaping to themselves teachers everywhere. We only want them, you know. No one that gives us that book. No! That's not the Christianity we want, or the preachers we want. Oh, Christ warned us in the last days, many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive the masses. Christ said in the last days, I charge thee, therefore by God, by God, preach the word, preach the word, preach the word. Be instant, be ready, prepare yourself. Here I believe, here I believe is an urgent cry from God's heart to those whom he would separate to preach in these devastating last days. Here I believe is an urgent cry from God's heart to those whom he would separate to preach in these fearful last days, to prepare themselves to preach uncompromising truth fearlessly, no matter what the cost. I charge thee, therefore, by God, preach the word, be instant, be ready, in season, out of season. I believe we should stop here for a moment. I believe we should stop here for a moment to carefully consider what God is saying, to carefully consider what God is saying in the light of the rest of the scriptures, in the light of the rest of the scriptures, when he calls upon those whom he separates to preach to be ready, in the light of the rest of the scriptures, what God is saying when he calls upon those whom he has separated to preach, separated to preach to be ready. I charge thee, therefore, by God, preach the word, be instant, be ready, be ready, in season, out of season, be ready always, be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear. Be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear. 1 Peter 3 verse 15. Be ready always to give an answer. The heart of the righteous studieth to answer. Proverbs 15 verse 28. The heart of the righteous studieth, studieth to answer. Proverbs 15 verse 28. Study, study, study to show thyself approved unto God. A workman, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth, rightly dividing, study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 2 Timothy 2 verse 15. I charge thee, therefore, by God, preach the word. Be instant, be ready, be prepared. In the Old Testament, in the Old Testament, a man called Ezra was ready for God to take up and use mightily in his generation. In the Old Testament, a man called Ezra was ready for God to take up and use mightily in his generation, for Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the law of the Lord and to do it, and to teach in Israel to teach in Israel statutes and judgments. Ezra 7 verse 10. For Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the law of the Lord. Literally, for Ezra had devoted himself to the study of the law of the Lord, to enable him to preach God's word with authority in Israel. He separated himself to study, to show himself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. When Daniel separated himself to seek God earnestly, to give him revelation, to give him revelation and understanding concerning the scriptures, a heavenly messenger appeared unto him. A heavenly messenger appeared unto him and said, Fear not, Daniel. Fear not, Daniel. For from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words. Daniel 10 verse 12. But I will show thee that which is noted in the scripture, that which is vital. I will show thee that which is noted in the scripture of truth. Verse 21. I am now come forth, I am now come forth to give thee skill and understanding. I am now come forth to give thee skill and understanding. Daniel 9 verse 22. For I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist. No refute. I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversary shall not be able to gainsay nor resist. Luke 21 verse 15. When the religious leaders of Israel contested and disputed with Stephen concerning the scriptures, when the religious leaders of Israel contested and disputed with Stephen concerning the scriptures, we read that they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he spake. Acts 6 verse 10. They were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he spake. But O preacher, for God to so equip you, for God to so equip you, you must separate yourself. You must separate yourself as Ezra, as Daniel, as young Timothy, to study, to study, to sow thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed. Rightly dividing the word. Observe. Paul urged young Timothy in 1 Timothy 4 verse 13. Till I come, give attendance to reading, to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. Neglect not the gift that is in thee. Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy with the laying under the hands of the presbytery. Meditate upon these things. Give thyself wholly to them, that thy profiting, that thy profiting may appear to all. Take heed unto thyself and unto the doctrine. Take heed unto thyself and unto the doctrine. For in doing this, take heed unto thyself and unto the doctrine. Continue in them. For in doing this, in doing this, thou shalt both save thyself and them that hear thee. For in doing this, thou shalt both save thyself and them that hear thee. Don't neglect the diligent study of the scriptures. Don't neglect the diligent study of the scriptures for your own spiritual protection and for the spiritual protection of those who will be influenced by your preaching, Timothy. Don't neglect the diligent study of the scriptures, the doctrines of this book. Give yourself wholly to this. In doing this, thou shalt both save thyself and them that hear thee. In the life of every preacher, in the life of every preacher, there must be a separation for preparation. In the life of every preacher, there must be a separation for preparation. As Christ himself, as Christ himself who cried, Wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business? Wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business? Luke 2, verse 49. My meat is to do the will of him that sent me. John 4, 34. My meat is not what you think I need, food. My food, I am strengthened not with what you want me to stop now to do. I am strengthened with food that's different. I am strengthened as I am consumed and pursued to fulfill the will and purpose and plan of God for my life and ministry. And anyone that that is not written across their life is a grief to God if he stands in the pulpit. And the danger to man, even if he was Timothy, who Paul said, I have no man like, you don't bypass the world, sir. I am strengthened as I pursue and become consumed and fulfilling the purpose and plan of God for my life and ministry. If you are truly called by God to preach, you don't love to preach. That's sacrilege. That's blasphemy. If you are truly separated and called by God and meant by God to do one thing, to preach, you don't love to preach. You live to preach or you're not called by God, sir. That's your own calling for your mother and fathers. And at midnight, there was a cry made, Jesus said. At midnight, there was a cry made, an urgent, fearful cry suddenly came from men God separated in the last days and will separate, don't doubt that. I will build my chalice, the gates of hell shall not prevent it. At midnight, and to those of you that don't know, that's just about what happened. I pity the man that doesn't know just where we're at in the light of the scriptures was totally fulfilled before Christ said, then shall we come. At midnight, there was a cry made, Jesus said, an urgent, fearful cry from preachers who had separated themselves in obedience to God's call in the last days to study, to show themselves approved unto God, men who will be valiant for the truth. Once again, men who will be willing to hazard their lives for the gospel of Jesus Christ. Once again, at midnight, there was a cry made from such men who will be raised up by God and prepared by God to preach uncompromising truth fearlessly no matter what the cost and it will cost some of them with their lives. Don't doubt that in these days. Beloved, the saved must be awakened urgently to trim their lamps, to rekindle the faltering flame of compromising Christianity worldwide, to ready themselves and only an urgent cry from such anointed preaching that have prepared themselves from this book and this book alone for there's no authority outside of that book. That's why we have no authority left with our ideas of entertainment. To entertain is sin. If it makes you very good preaching to keep people or even slightly differ from the centrality of the word of God being preached by an anointed man, you sin with your entertainment. I might be the only preacher on earth that'll tell you but somebody has to say it no matter what you do to me. There must be a cry made such as God said that will waken up the slumbering, compromising, staggering worldly church that looks like the world, that entertains like the world, that's like the world to win the world. No wonder all that happened is the world's one then and the world's then safe and comfortable in the church and going to hell, walking and leaping and praising God but don't offend them, don't touch this book. What it really says is their blood will be on your hands, not that type of preaching. Tragically the masses who have been deceived by erroneous doctrines across the entire world may be staggered, the masses may be staggered, even bewildered and become angry in their bewilderment as they hear and they will hear the cry made, the urge and cry again from those who will preach uncompromising truth fearlessly no matter what the cost. Oh tragically the masses it seems have been deceived by erroneous doctrines, it seems will not be able to turn from their mindset of addiction to entertain man. Addiction, they're drunk and have to otherwise they couldn't sit through one sermon or come back if they ever heard truth. Tragically the masses who've been so brainwashed into a mindset it seems, it seems that they will be unable to get out of this, this delirious addiction to extreme diversions from the truth of this book so we don't lose them by offending them, so we lose their souls and they won't be able to accept truth but eventually as heard they are so addicted to emotionalism, to entertainers beginning with the preacher, he has to be charismatic, he has to dress like Hollywood to draw them and be as good as anyone that gets the academy award or he won't have a big church as an actor, nothing less so long as he doesn't tell us about hell or repentance, so long as he doesn't say turn or burn, then he'll burn. Oh tragically they will be so addicted to drunken emotionalism and outward manifestations, sensual entertainers. God condemns if that's all you will be drawn to, though he doesn't preach anything so long as it's emotional, sensational and entertainment as good as we get out there in the world's theatres or discos, that's where we'll go on Sundays. Tragically they will be unable to gear themselves into a life of faith, they will be unable to even function on the concept of faith only, not charismatic personalities, not outward manifestations, not them having some sensual outward manifestations that make them glory and get noticed. When all God says in this book is you should be noticed, then you'll glory Christ only through the transformation of your life, that is the best thing and the only thing God wants to use you with. Not to be like the world, to keep the world in church, oh they will be unable, tragically it seems the masses, to get out in time, to get out of this rut, this drunken addiction to charismatic preachers and charismatic outward manifestation, sensual, emotional entertainers, from beginning to end, pulpit to singers, we don't want a singer that's sanctified, that sings the old hymns of faith, we want someone that looks like the world, sways like the world, speaks like the world, otherwise we don't want to come because we are the world. In the church, be careful, who's forcing you to keep the world in the church and bring godliness to your youth, godliness even in singing, in what they do, be careful, it's not the world, in the church, oh may God give us such men again who will preach such truth in this day and age, that it will wake up the true saved people who are compromising worldwide, wake them up with unadulterated, uncompromising, compassionate truth and greatly anointed into the degree that your life is consumed in prayer and in this book you will be anointed, outside of that there's no anointing. For this I call upon all preachers in this building and whoever has this message and I hope you spread it across the world, Christians, as for some reason you've done with other messages I've brought on these scriptures, I call upon all preachers who come under the sound and effect of this holy book's teachings of what will happen to preachers in the last days and what God cries out for them to become again if they're saved, no matter what the cost, I call upon you to separate yourselves like Paul called on Timothy for your own spiritual protection and those who will be spiritually protected to the degree you are soaked in this book and preach it with no compromise, to dedicate yourselves afresh in a case you never really did because of people, theatrical theological seminary you went to that taught you to be entertainers and not preachers and dedicate yourself once and for all that you truly saved to get away from the trash they taught you to be of entertainers in the pulpit, for God's sake be careful where you go, to be prepared most places will destroy you in the evangelical theological seminaries of the world, they're so far from this book, they teach you to joke, to break down the atmosphere not to offend, how do you preach from this book when you just give out your wonderful jokes you've got from little comic books that are suggested by your professors of theology, how to win the world, you win the world yes, what to entertain the come you, you can't preach on hell after you've got the roaring laughter sir, it doesn't work, by the by not one preacher beginning with Christ, Paul, Peter, Timothy, James, not one joked once, how come we have to in this generation, oh most places will destroy you, who are evangelical seminary institutes or bible schools, you don't go anymore to be interviewed when you go to get a foundation, you go to interview and ask at first if they're born again, if they are, if they believe every single book in this bible from beginning to end will undermine it, you need to interview them so that you don't get destroyed, nobody must interview you anymore, be careful where you go, the devil's waiting to destroy you in most theological seminaries who have been so adapted to entertainment, teachers having itching ears, who will turn away the ears from the truth because only those who will turn away ears from the truth and determine the fables we want, anymore in their denominations, oh beloved, how many sitting here tonight like Isaiah suddenly, suddenly become conscious that God is looking for someone, conscious of a voice from heaven saying whom shall I send, who will go for us to this ministry, to this type of preaching, at this cost, in these dangerous days to preach such things, God, who, not who will go to seminary anymore, or preach anymore, but who will be like this, that third group, preach like that, who will wake up and sleep in church worldwide, the words that will cut through the hearts of every hypocrite that sits near them, on the ministry, till they writhe in conviction, anything less is not the preacher God's calling now, certainly not in this passage, how many like Isaiah suddenly have become conscious, perhaps for the first time in their life, that God is reaching out to your message, to his word, and pressing upon your heart, that you should separate your life to study this book, there's no such a thing as you not separating yourself before God uses you, to be consumed in this book, I pray, and when you're ready, God will tell man, man won't tell you, God will tell man, that man cannot close doors, that God opens them, when a man is ready, Israel, when a man is ready, when a man does this with his life, the powers of hell will be staggered every time, every time, how many sit here tonight, and like Isaiah, who suddenly knew it was God he had to do, that somehow when no human voice could reach, it's not emotional upbuilding, it was the word of God by the Holy Ghost, emotion has nothing to do with the scriptures, of course there's emotion, but there's the Holy Ghost that reaches the heart through the word of God, when no human voice can reach, and if you know it's God's voice, somehow reaching where you've never heard his voice, he's seeking someone, some life, he's seeking lives that are willing to so prepare themselves, is this what he needs in the last days, while the bridegroom is tearing, someone has to preach in such a way that will wake up the church, because of the separation to prepare themselves, you may have to go to seminar after you are sure by every godly person you know on earth surrounding you, convincing you the godliest of the godliest, that you'll be safe there, not destroyed, you may have to go to certain places, they will never send you to a place that will destroy you, not godly people, many churches have to be the ones who prepare their own preachers in this devastating time of compromise in the theological seminars, and many are able to, but many, many pulpits will require you to study, to separate yourself, and if they're safe, that book will be the centrality, not books about the book, but that book. I was sitting in a meeting 40 years ago, more than that now, three months saved, never ever in my life thought of preaching, wouldn't be so presumptuous to think such a disaster could ever be separated by God unto the gospel, to preach the gospel. As I sat in that service, I trembled, I sweated, I shook in fear, as I realized it's not the preacher's voice reaching somewhere that no human voice can reach. I knew I had to do with God, as they preached this great call of God to lay your life on the altar of God. He's calling for you today. I suddenly became aware, and this preacher said, if God has called you, if God is speaking to your heart, young man, young woman, for missionaries, because 80 percent of the full-time workers in the evangelical work of God across the world are women, who are willing to die full of diseases where no men will go. So, God sends 80 percent of the full-time workers in evangelical work worldwide are willing souls or women. They don't get the pulpits, but they get the souls. There is called, as what may not, trust me, to spread this book in truth. As I heard that preacher, it was an appeal made to those of you that somehow know you have to do with God tonight, not with the preacher. And you would say to God, here am I. You who suddenly heard like Isaiah, his longing, his voice, that he's looking for someone. God is asking, and his voice is reaching you. Would you say, here am I, God, take my life. Let it be consecrated to thee. Now, this moment, if this is thy will, God, take my life. I stood, shaking in fear, at a sense of unworthiness, helplessness. How could I preach, but I knew God was speaking to me, something that my inner being just knew I had to do with God's confrontation there, to burn every dream I had had, every ambition, every plan I'd ever made, forever, never to look back once, to preach, to fulfill his purpose. I stood. Don't stoop to be a king if God calls you to preach. William Carey said, I stood in the front row, not realizing there were others. I thought I was the only one that stood that night. I just knew it was God and me. And I never doubted for over 40 years, it was God. Not once did I look back at all my plans and want them all, wish I could change them. No, I knew till this moment it was God who called me that night, who separated me, who waited for me to say, here am I. You see, the free will of man doesn't just end at salvation. The blueprint of God has been spoiled, sir. And if you don't believe that's possible, let me give you about 100 verses of this book right now, if you want to challenge me. By you, if you're saved even, you still have the free will to serve God's perfect blueprint for your life and not to mar or ruin it by your own will and get God's second best. No, I stood. Five others, no, four others, five of us stood that night. All five went into God's service. One is dead. The rest is still in God's service. After 40 years, a few hundred thousand people came to Christ through those five preachers in this world. A few hundred, oh, many will say far more, brother, far more than you will ever imagine. With all the media is going on across the whole world of every message is preached about. I want to ask you young people, God does not make you hurry, the devil does, when it comes to guidance. God always speaks and if you're willing, he confirms it. And he confirms it and he confirms it and he confirms it in his own way through the book, through messages, through anything, through just conversation, till you know that it's God. If you have any doubt, don't go. When God calls you, there's no doubt. But when God starts and you lay your life and say, here am I, send me, you're available. If this is thy will, God confirm it. Confirm it till I know that if I don't go, I defy thee. Defy thee till I die. Confirm it so that I know and God will tell you where to go. You won't have doubts if you stay right with God. You always are safe if you never miss the quiet time. The devil can't lead you or guide you wrong. Guidance is safe if your quiet time is the central, major, most protected, God-nurtured moment of each day that the devil and man cannot touch you and you're safe. And God will guide you if he calls you and confirms and confirms he will guide you so long as your quiet time that gets you into touch with God day by day and removes you day by day to walk with God. Otherwise you didn't have a quiet time as Enoch walked with God. But you're safe if your quiet time is nurtured and guarded like that. Read Psalm 1 and don't doubt it. But the big thing tonight is will you be like Uzziah if you know you have to do with God and say, Lord, this is the only light in my heart and I believe it's there. Whether to be another Amy Carmichael, Jesse Penn Lewis, who staggered the world and they said yes to God with their lives, or whether it's to be another George Whitfield or Jonathan Edwards or Charles Finley that will bring this nation and it's a religious nation with many who profess to be born again across this land in an unusual way because of their Bible. I want to ask those who knowing what God wants and would say, I hear my voice. I know I'm not emotionally stirred up by a man. It has to do with the Word and the Holy Spirit. But God, if this is you, and I believe it is, here am I. Say, Lord God. I wait for confirmation before I go. But here am I, God. After this message, the Scriptures, what's going on in my heart and conscience, I want those who desperately need to say that to God right now, to stand.
