Milton Green

Milton Green (1943 - 1987). American evangelist and Bible teacher born in Tennessee. Raised in a troubled home with an abusive father, he spiraled into alcoholism, drug addiction, and homelessness, suffering a major heart attack at 43 that left doctors predicting his death. Converted in 1972 after crying out to Jesus, he was miraculously healed and began studying Scripture intensely. A carpet cleaner by trade, Green preached across the U.S. from the late 1970s to 1987, often alongside James Robison and Leonard Ravenhill, focusing on repentance, holiness, and spiritual warfare. He authored The Great Falling Away Today (1986), warning against carnal Christianity, and recorded hundreds of sermons, widely shared online. Married to Joyce, a Christian who prayed for his salvation, they had no children. His teachings, emphasizing victory over sin through Christ, stirred thousands at seminars, though some criticized his focus on demonic influence. Green’s words, “God’s Word is the only standard for truth,” underscored his uncompromising style. His ministry, marked by humility, continues to influence evangelical circles globally

Sermon Transcription
...repentance and selfish ambition, he has his fleshly dreams and visions and he starts building and fleshly achievements and leading people out of fleshly achievements which has no profit against indulgence of the flesh. You never need people overcoming righteousness and all of that. How can a blind leader lead the blind anywhere except to the pit? Are we hearing what I'm saying? And so that's what we're walking in. This is what we're finding. Now if any of you here are being a little bit offended right here and so forth like that, I want you to examine your thoughts because I want you to remind you that I have told you from the very beginning right here that I'm not only talking about you, I'm talking about the whole bunch of us who've been asleep. I'm not here to condemn no one in this city. I'll let the Lord's law do the condemning. God's law does the condemning, God's word. And so I'm just going to speak the word. I didn't come here to try to start a bunch that is going to get spiritual pride and then start condemning and judging other people. That's like I told you, you get out of one ditch and you run over and jump in another. If you don't let your light shine, you don't know him. That's the reason people have been blocked from the law of truth because people have taken some truths out of here and perverted them So there's another part of the Bible. You see how the powers of darkness have worked us folks. How many sense of spirit have got all over this place here now. You know what he's doing with you right now. He's dealing with you. Folks, do you know why there's peace all over this building right here? Not because any man came to town. Not because some Lord wants any man to look good. Because the Prince of Peace is here. And when he moves in, the powers of darkness move out. And he's told those demons shut up. And by his grace and mercy, he's shutting them up. So you can hear right now and he can try to deal with your heart. And if you're going to be a righteous person, you're going to live by faith, then you're no longer in control of your life, folks. Though the joy and glory of letting God bless you. For him to control your life through Jesus, through the Spirit. It will come to pass. That's what grace and mercy is. The law and love are in total agreement. Because when you walk in love, you love the law. When you don't have a repentant heart, the law becomes chains. You don't like it. Now the Lord is dealing with your heart. The Lord is telling you, I don't have anything for you to join. I don't have anything to lead you to except Jesus and the Word. Everything I said down at that point should be there.
