Sermon Transcription
We thank God for the song you have in your heart tonight. Now let us go back, shall we, to Isaiah chapter 9, the ninth chapter of Isaiah. Joy having you here. We trust the Lord will bless you. Grant you much joy for being here. Remember, you are the best means of advertisement. You yourselves are being blessed by the ministry. You tell others of it and encourage them to come along. I remember in those days gone by how in the morning services were always a real blessing. Surely number than an evening, no doubt, but times will continue to get closer together. On Sunday, I think it was, probably Saturday evening, someone said to me, you are mithzabah, mithzabah. Now mithzabah means one in whom the Lord delights. Found in the prophecy of Isaiah. I am so glad about that, mind you. So tomorrow morning, we're going to have a look at the Lord's delight from Isaiah 4 to 3. The 43rd chapter is a wonderful study. The first 12 verses, you read it for yourselves, will be a real definite blessing to you. You come along with your heart exercised, and I'm sure the Lord will bless you in a very real way. All right, children. Oh, by the way, how many of you remember the chorus? It's a new life. Oh, how he changed me. I'm thankful to remember it. Oh, oh, oh, you remember it. Very good. I thought we were going to have some copies made for you today, but we've been gallivanting a little bit, and we haven't had time, and I just wasn't able to do that. I gave you some copies. We looked for them. I asked to leave them in the seat, or if you took them away, to bring them back with you. How many brought them back tonight? Let me see. Well, look at that. The appropriate by simple faith down here. That's one of them. Now, we're not so bad, and I think we know it, so let us get it, shall we? The new life. If you don't know it, just sing la la la, the joy that lies thrilling our hearts tonight, just one note. Now, I don't know why you're smiling at me, or to me, or I don't know what you're doing, but my words are really smiling tonight. Especially the Monday night, after all but this is me washing, ironing, darning, too, sometimes nicking Irish jute. But I ain't misshippin' no chicken kidney pie tonight, can we have? So there it is. So come on, let's have it once more, and just bring it right up with all the power you've got. Right? It's a new life. Another youngster in Bible school used to say, Uncle Jim, that's the figure of feet, by the way, listen, Uncle Jim, say that again. Say what? Say that again. It fills me through and through. And you know, it really does, really, it fills us through and through. Back over to the feet of two-thirds again tonight, shall we? Isaiah chapter nine, verses six and seven. Last night we looked at the name Wonderful. Wonderful, remember, in his grace, in his gentleness, in his loving, in his greatness, and in his government. Now, verse number six, Isaiah nine. For unto us a child is born, reminding us of his incarnation. Unto us a son is given, reminding us of his manifestation. Very good, glad you're with me. And his, and his government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace. Now, that is his designation. His designation. We'll deal with that a little tonight. Now, verse seven. For the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end. Upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to authorate and to establish it with judgment and with justice, from henceforth even forever. That is his occupation, his occupation. But now, lastly, the zeal of the Lord of Hosts will perform this, and that is his glorification. Very simple outline. So, tonight I want you to take a look at those five wonderful names given to our Lord Jesus Christ. There's been a lot written about these wonderful names, and I want to take them and give you tonight five sweet teas. We gave you last night five little teas that you can take away with you, and I want to give you five little sweet teas. Sweet tea is my favorite flower. It's never so sweet, never so beautiful, but I want to suggest another five to you tonight. First of all then, it says that he is wonderful. There is a little Hebrew word called pileh. The word means wonderful. It has the idea of being miraculous, full of awe, amazement, that we come to our adorable Lord Jesus. We look upon one who is full of wonder. We are utterly astounded at the Lord Jesus, who fills us all, and inspires us in amazement, and calls our hearts above before him in worship and in true adoration, because tonight the holy one is wonderful. And you know something? He fills our heart with wonder tonight. The Bible says, remember, the very mention of his wonderful name bows our hearts in worship and in true adoration. So, I want to suggest something tonight concerning this wonderful Lord Jesus, that he is wonderful in his power. He is wonderful in his power. The apostle Paul says in 1 Corinthians 1 verse number 24, God has made Christ be unto us the wisdom of God, and the power of God. Now, this word power is an interesting word. In Romans 1 verse number 16, you'll read Paul saying again, I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ. It is the power, the dynamic, the dynamo of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth. I know so many refer to it as the dynamite, but I like to think of the word as dynamo. Not so nearly a stick of dynamite being ignited, are there the devastating blasts, the shattering phone you there, and all saved by God's grace here tonight, know that very same devastating power in our lives, shedding us freedom from sin, change of sin, and health, and satanic influence. We thank God tonight we can truthfully say, I am proud of the gospel of Christ. It is the dynamic of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth. But I like the word dynamo far better. The word is like a dynamo coming right into your life. This dynamo is supercharged. It's supercharged. And the Bible says we are kept by the power of God, the dynamo of God. Some people say I would be saved, but I don't think I could keep it, nor neither could I. But thank God I am being kept by the power of God, ready to be revealed in the last days. I'm going to look at that part just in a moment or two. I remember it says in John chapter one, verse number 12, to as many as received him, that they gave him power to become the sons of God, even to them that believed on his name. Now to believe on him is to receive him. I want to stress that. Not accused of believing about the Lord Jesus, giving a mental offense to historical facts concerning Christ. Not accused of believing in Christ, giving a kind of mental acquiescence, having confidence in Christ. Oh no, the word is to believe on. That means a complete commitment of my soul to him. And what does the Bible say in John 6, verse 37? That the Lord says him that cometh unto me, I will in no time cast out. And when I come to him, he receiveth me as I come to the lambs that grandled him. Just as I am, thy love I own, hath broken every barrier down. Now to me thine, yea, thine alone. O Lamb of God, I come, made in the language of the first birth. Just as I am, without one plea, that thy blood was shed for me, that thou bidst me come to thee. O Lamb of God, I come, that we come to him. Here it sees us, and all the wonder of wonder be by faith received him, by his spirit into his spirit chamber. And there is an indissoluble union, yearning Christ, Christ in you. O the wonder of that glorious joy. Then what happens? He receiveth power, he receiveth new life. And in 1 John chapter 5, again verse 12, it says, He who hath the Son hath life, he who hath not the Son of God hath not life. And so, O believing on the Lord Jesus, that limit I receive him by faith into my heart, that limit I not only receive a supernatural life, I receive a supernatural power. And I want to stress that if I may, and I sing of that wonderful scripture in Ephesians chapter 1, verses 19 through verse number 22, and I want you to come with me to nod of your will, and think of those ointments parted well, stand with holy reverence in his presence, and to hear the apostle saying, God, by the exceeding greatness of his power, which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and placed him far above all principality and power, might, and dominion, name that is named, not only of this world, although that which is a calm in all things under its feet, and given him to be head over all things to the church, which is his body, but owns of him that which all and all claim the power that we tonight have is a liberating power, because it was a bodily resurrection from out among the dead, not a mere tantrum, a mere spirit, but Christ's head over me and feet, it is I myself, he walked with him, he talked with him, he ate with him, and he drank with him, after his resurrection. The last time the worldings saw Christ, was when they hung him upon a cross, and they'll never see him again, until they stand before his judgment bar, he appeared to his own for forty days, when he arose from the dead, he appeared to his own, he spoke with his own, and he said, a spirit of not flesh and bone as you see me have, handle me and see, it is I myself, I love that expression you know, I really do, all the disciples were made glad, were overjoyed when they had seen the Lord, and his resurrection light, may I cause now, it's a liberating power, but there's something more, it's an elevating power, for God has claimed his son, now get this, the one who went down to the very low, the dead dark remains, the one who humbled himself, is now the one whom God has highly exalted, you'll see all the heaven hierarchy standing there, as a great God of honor, all the angelic hosts standing there, that you're the angel, the cherubim, the seraphim, all the archangels are there, and they're standing the great God of honor, as the glorious victor has gone down to the dead dark remains, and he won the median crown by being trodden down, and now see him being raised by the greatness of God, the power from out among the dead, here now rising, still bearing the mark of Calvary's passion, that he hasn't seen the next deliverance time, that's called Carl Brown, a soul rising, rising past, through the deadly gate, past that great God of honor, and he goes up, up, up, up, up, up, far above all, far above all, Jesus the crucified is exalted far above all, kings may run, kings may fall, Jesus the crucified is exalted far above all, so look ye, think the sight is glorious, see the man of sorrows now, from the fight return victorious, every knee to him shall bow, crown him, crown become the mighty, a victor's brow, yes thank God this liberating power, is of an elevating power, you might bring a great illusion like a John Nelson Darby, a great tall like a Lincoln or a Kelly, a great preacher, the prince of preachers shall have heaven's purging, a great orator like a Talmud, you may bring a great evangelist like D.L.Hawley, you may bring the prince of expulsors like Dr. Alexander MacFarlane, and praise him all before you and say, please can you tell us what this means, that God has placed his son far above all, all those dear men would bow their heads in their hearts and cry, we do not know, it's beyond our solid mind, we can grasp it, it's beyond our to always believe it, and we worship and we adore him, as a nice child of God, I won't forget the picture, men put Christ upon a cross, that was the instrument of him, God has given him the highest place, heaven of hearts, men place a crown of thorns upon his kingly brow, God placed the crown of pure gold upon his lovely brow, men place a reed in his hand, a reed for a sitter, God has given him the royal sitter, I'm the authority to wield that sitter, and all heaven bow before him tonight, they laud him, they worship him, yet it's an elevating power, beloved I won't forget this tonight, part of above all principality and power of might and dominion, God placed his son far beyond all distinction of power, but every name that is named above all description of power, not only in this world, also in that which is to come, he placed him far beyond all dispensation of power, now did you get those CDs, because I want you to get them, they'll be a blessing to you, God placed him beyond all distinction, description, and dispensation of power, beloved tonight get the picture, it is not only a liberating power, and an elevating power, I gaze upon my adorable Lord Jesus Christ, know this perfect glory, I cry with my heart that you're joining me now, rise also behold this Jesus, Jesus fills thy wanting eyes, see him now in glory seated, where thy twins no more can rise, there in righteousness transcendent, Lord in heaven he doth appear, showeth the blood of his atonement as thy title, to be there, amen, all the wonder of it all, but then the subjugating power, is all things under his feet, I have given him head, we head over all things to the church, now this liberating, elevating, and subjugating power, we stand with holy arms, and godly reverence before him now, the heart of strength will move toward our Lord Jesus, but you know in my quotation, I missed out a little phrase, now I did it perfectly, hear that phrase, listen carefully, God's body is in great and holy body, it is to us good to believe, that's it, this liberating, elevating, subjugating power, is the very power that came into your life, and my life to move and form again, all the power of the present conquering, cries in our disposal tonight, why do we go around like spiritual orphans, when we're spiritual multimillionaires, why do we go around like spiritual victims, when we're spiritual giants, all this power invested in Christ is not ours, because he has come into your life, and into my life, and he brings this mighty supernatural power with him, because he has brought supernatural life, only God shuts your heart tonight, and calls your heart exalted in the Lord Jesus, something that I want you to notice here, not only do I sing of him in all his glorious power, and majesty, and tonight I cry, oh he is wonderful, wonderful in his power, for this afternoon, day throughout the hours of day, we beheld coming of the glory of our adorable Lord Jesus in creation, we saw the majesty of his handiwork in creation, and so many different ways today, far beyond my finite mind to display to you, or describe to you, even my wild imagination, I could not describe it adequately to you tonight, for the eyes of beheld, and one of the ears of heard today, are the Lord Jesus as the mighty creator, but remember this beloved tonight, I don't only sing of his mighty power here in creation, this one was third world into being, his third world into being, now get this for one minute shall we, for not only has his third world into being, he is the one that holds all things by the word of his power, by him all things are held together, the word is cohesion, by him all things are held together, by him all things consist, all things were made for him, all things were made by him, and without him was not anything made, was made, I've been greatly thrilled in recent days, and I find the astronomers declare, that there is something like 66 trillion stars, 66 trillion stars, only recently are the astronomers have found, way up there in the northern hemisphere somewhere, a galaxy of stars I never realized were there before, and the wonder of wonder thrilled myself, according to reports, western unabridged dictionary has something like 500,000 words, I think that's wrong, 500,000 words the unabridged edition, now you know we are told, if it takes 80 quadrillion sat volumes, to contain all the number of the star, and the names of the stars, now these are just the stars I am thinking of, in Genesis it says, remember he created this, and this, and this, and he saw it was good day, very good day he said, and the star also, a little incidental, all the wonder of our wonderful God beloved tonight, and I want to draw your attention by me to a verse, to a verse in Psalm 147, and I'm sure this is going to thrill your heart, Psalm 147, 147, now notice in verse number four, three and four, these words, now think of this one of whom I've been talking, I'm seeking the energy of the spirit to present to your heart, and look at verse number three now, Psalm 147 verse three, we healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds, now doesn't that touch your heart, this one who's God of very God, this one who's built worlds into beings, this one who's numbered and named all the stars, and according to astronomers something like 66 trillion stars, it says here he healeth the broken in heart, I love that don't you, and notice, and bindeth up their wounds, now notice this comes before verse number four, the healing of the broken heart, the binding up of the wounds is far more to our adorable Lord Jesus, than verse four, notice now, he telleth the number of the stars, he calls them all by the name, if it takes something like 80 quadrillion volumes, each containing 500,000 words, as you hold all the numbers of the stars and their names, yet below what does it say, what does it say in John chapter 20, if all that Christ did and say were recorded, even the world itself would not be able to contain the books, now this is a God that binds up the broken heart, and heals the wounded spirit, no wonder we sing tonight, no one ever cared for me like Jesus, oh friend let it touch your heart tonight, he's a wonderful Lord, a wonderful Lord, one with all his power, I was going along this line some time ago in Massachusetts, at a conference, late Richard Hill was the other speaker, never Mr Hill spoke, he always made a wonderful foundation to build upon, and I remember talking about the fact, we are co-heirs and joint heirs together with Christ, but then it came up to me, some night down, because I speak on sat 84 for 10 days, including the conference, and she came up on a Tuesday, 9th December for Basel, she said you know at the conference you said, we are joint heirs with Christ, so you know I can't get over that, my mind is really, I can't take that in, I said my dear I never said that at all, oh yes you did I heard you, said not me I didn't say that, I know you said it, so what do you mean you didn't say it, I heard you saying it, I said no, I was only the mouthpiece, the holy spirit said that, not that, the holy spirit said that, oh said you know, I said but think of this little planet in which we find ourselves living, I think of all the silver and the gold, the iron, the copper, the ore, and so on and so on and so on in the bowels of the earth, think all upon the wealth in the bowels of the earth, think all the cattle upon the thousand hills, think all the wonderful timbers that are, I think out of British Columbia alone of something like 80 different shades of green, I never tried to count those shades of green, I asked in a congregation some time ago, we have a traveler from Vancouver sitting in the congregation, I said Jack how many shades of green are there in British Columbia, he said there are 81, I've never tried to count them, but there they are, I didn't say just it went on, I think of all those wonderful galaxies way up there in the heavens, you go out in a beautiful clear light and look up and say, oh she said, and do you know that this little planet which we find ourselves living, is one of the smallest of millions upon millions upon millions of worlds, which at his word came into being, and he's heir to them all, and now you tell me I'm a joint heir with Christ, oh says Jim, I'm lost in wonder love and praise, all I can do is adore him and to worship him, and yield my whole life entirely to him, oh this wonderful Lord, oh beloved is wonderful in his power, years ago, some 20 years ago, I was standing on my first visit to Canada at the Niagara Falls, it's been my boyhood ambition to visit the Niagara Falls, two great countries were in my geography classes, I loved above all other countries, India and Canada, and I longed with my ambition to come to Canada, the sandy side of the Great Falls, the day I stood there, beautiful day in the middle of July, the flowers were appearing there, and all the color and glory, and all the wonderful presence, the sun shining all its strength, the birds were singing a lovely song, it was a marvellous day, and I stood there by the falls, I looked, and I listened, and I heard the roar of those many walnuts, and I heard the voice, the voice of many walnuts, and I heard those boars turning over those falls, mashing on those rocks beneath, and I saw those spades going about 100 feet back up into the heavens, and the sun shining on that spade, making one of the most colourful rainbows I have ever seen in my life, I stood there, and I was lost, that Great Falls of water was just like his love, and all his magic rays flowed over to little me, I felt ever so insignificant, so puny, so tiny, not notice that little spade, was just my little thank you going back to heaven, such a contrast, somebody pour those waters on that little spade, and oh such a contrast, and of course his love going over my life, soaking me, bathing me, and filling me with his love and grace, and my little thank you, thank you Lord Jesus, oh how tiny, how puny, but as I stood there that day, I was so struck by these words, how the great creator who created all this, died upon the cross to become my saviour, he thought well of him to be, for to save me he had to shed his blood, upon the cross it goes Kaka, and the one that came over my spirit life, and I stood there that particular day, my friends came and said Jim, come on get into the car, let's go to, I was like oh I said please no, not yet, just let me stand here a little longer, I was oblivious to all the crowds around me, I was lost, I was speechless, my wife tells me that's impossible, oh that day I was speechless, I was all struck, so I just ruled every part of my being, and as we got into the car, and went to the other side, they come and sit now from the American side, but as we came round the bank, of all the customs there, they were waiting for us, we asked everyone in the car where they came from, where they were born, when they came to me, they didn't even ask where I was born, they just said when did you leave England, no I never opened my mouth, how on earth did they know I had just come from Britain, I don't know, it may have been my English got suited in those days, or my detectable colour, but they knew I had just come across, so I said we need to go first, they said you better go into the office, so I go into the office, another fellow said to me what's the matter, I don't know, he said where are you from, I said from the United Kingdom, he said where is your passport, so I left my passport in Toronto sir, I didn't know I was coming to a great country, United States of America, and I knew that I brought my papers, all my reagis and everything with me, but I didn't know, this would be a special treat for me to come into a country, my friends have brought me to see the Paul from your side, he said you can't get in without your passport, I said sir we won't be any longer than two hours, in fact I've got to preach the night in Toronto, so we haven't come to stay, but we've got to get back tonight, he said you can't get in without your passport, that moment Bill Hopkins came in, he said it's a very difficult day, the customs officer said this young fellow, that was 20 years ago, so this young fellow can't get across without his American visa, not his passport, and my friends I'll leave my insurance policy, I'll leave my billfold, I'll leave anything you want me to leave, and we'll pick it up on the way back, said sir it's more than my job's worth, I can't get him across without his passport, he put it in his face, honest enough looking, his face all right, but I can't get him across, and nobody's ever come back, all because I haven't got my passport, and we stood upon the Queensland Heights there, just under that wonderful monument, Brooks Monument, looking right over the mid-Ontario, into the far end of America, his brother-in-law Bill Wilson put his arm right round me, and said Jim, you can be a hawk with your eye, but no you can't enter in, I look round this fine intelligent congregation, night on this lovely Monday evening, and there's not one of us here, but one day want to be in God's glory, we want to be with our adorable Lord Jesus, and all the friends of that glorious one, want to share all this with us, and friends you'll never be there, unless you've got your passport, you'll never be there, unless you've got your passport, your friends are going to stand surely for you, but for the veracity of all that you're saying, unless you've got your passport, you'll never be there, on the golden streets of heaven, all men hope to walk some day, yet so many are not willing to accept the living way, but what others build on good work or opinions, if they may, hallelujah, I'm depending on the blood, and the soul cleansing blood of the Saviour, I've been walked in the crimson flood, and my adorable Lord Jesus said, I am the way, no man cometh unto the Father, but by me, and this one who is wonderful in his power, stand at your heart's door tonight, say to me, I come in, and the moment you receive him, you receive all the power of the risen Lord, he becomes your Lord, he becomes your Saviour, and to you too, as many of us here tonight, he shall become wonder, oh, and you'll be filled with wonder, because you receive this one, who is
