In this sermon transcript, the speaker describes a fist fight that breaks out over an imaginary car being stolen. The mother is embarrassed and unsure how to control the situation. She eventually suggests giving the car back to the owner to prevent further fighting. The speaker then transitions to discussing the importance of attending church and the consequences of not doing so. He also mentions the lavish meals and accommodations provided during a missionary trip. The sermon concludes with a discussion on covetousness and the speaker's wife's habit of leaving during his preaching.

Thank you. Can we bow in prayer, please? Father, in mercy on us, wash me in the blood of Jesus Christ, God's Son. And cleanse us from all sin. In thy mercy, fill me with the Holy Spirit. Anoint, anxionize, quicken my mind, my heart. And take thy word, which thou dost honor above all things. And so we should also make it alive. The letter, killer. We learned that as we sat in churches for years, going to hell. But the Spirit giveth life. Give life, O our God, to thy word. Protect us from our only enemy, Satan. By the risen, resurrected power of Christ, the Holy Spirit, the angels of God, protect us. And visit every heart, we ask these things in Jesus Christ's name. Amen. John 15, verse 4, Jesus said, Abide. Abide. Abide in me. Abide in me. And I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine. No more can ye except ye abide in me. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine. No more can ye except ye abide in me. Many of you know of our brother Denny Keniston, who has gone to be with the Lord last year. And what a welcome he must have received. And the earth is a poorer place without him. Don't doubt that. I was honored to be in his home here in Pennsylvania on a number of occasions many years ago. Denny and Jackie had a lot of children. They don't have families, they have tribes in those people's homes, you know. And one of their children was named Samuel. He was sitting here last year. He didn't come this year, but he was here last year on a Sunday morning. Denny would have a factory, a workshop on the grounds of his home, where they as a family, the boys, would bring an income. For three months a year, they worked in that factory, making garden furniture, which was a means of income. So for three months, so that they didn't have to look to anyone, anywhere, they brought in an income, which somehow God honored in an astronomical way. But nine months of the year, they lived on that income as a family. And they went and served God, drawing from all the monies made from that income. And so it was a family venture for three months of the year. Samuel was a little boy. When he was helping, and everyone had their hand in certain parts of this, in facets of this, manufacturing these garden furnitures. And as a little boy, he was working with one of these saws, these great big turning saws. And suddenly, his garment was caught, and pulled his arm in, and cut his whole arm off from his body. His whole arm was severed, cut off, and fell on the ground from his body. Of course, he collapsed. The loss of blood brought him close to death, and the danger of his life. But those of the family, present in shock and fear, frantically called to the house where Jackie was, and one or two others, and the family that was present, ran urgently, swiftly, crying to God, weeping in shock and horror at what had happened to their family member. They lifted the arm from the ground, severed from his body, and carried him, for he had flaked out, to the vehicle, and rushed him to the local hospital, praying, crying to God for mercy on him, to spare him and them from this tragedy that had occurred. At the hospital, and this is the wonder of God, the broader picture of God, whatever comes on us, there just happened to be surgeons that were able, and had performed, such an uncomprehendable feat. And they attempted to reattach his arm to his body. And so, they, grafting it on, sewing it on, reattaching it, connected his veins, reconnected his veins, reconnected his nerves, doing what is beyond comprehension to you and me, and the bone structure. Now Samuel is a grown man today, with children of his own in his arms, sitting in the back row, last year. And both of his arms function perfectly. The one that had been severed, cut off, detached from his body, functions normally, with the same strength. Somehow this uncomprehendable feat was possible, that you and I would not believe possible, unless we had heard it from such people, with such integrity, as that family, and all those that witnessed it. Now, I need to ask every one of you, I need to ask every one of you, gathered in this building today, to be very honest with yourself. I need to ask every one of you, gathered in this building today, to be very honest with yourself. Have you, tragically, been severed, cut off, from abiding in Christ? I want to repeat it. Have you, tragically, been severed, cut off, from abiding in Christ, which is imperative for your survival as a Christian? It is imperative for your survival as a Christian. My severed branch, hear me, hear me. I implore you, you can and must be restored again. Into a vital relationship with your Saviour. You dare not wait, in spiritual numbness, and confusion, and grief, doing nothing, looking helplessly, hopelessly, sorrowfully, at your tragic condition, and doing nothing about it. That's a terrible danger. You need to come to God by faith. You need, firstly, to place your faith in the blood of Jesus Christ for cleansing, which is imperative before any physical operation could be performed as the cleansing, or you could do more damage to that person's life than if you just left him. It is imperative. Now, cleansing is by the blood, and that means confession. The one step to obtain the cleansing of the blood of God the Son, which cleanses us from all sin God promises, and He cannot deny Himself, is confession. That costs. But it is something you urgently need to do, not just in a glib manner and continue in your state, but to come in such faith for God to perform, which is impossible. You may feel helpless. You may feel hopeless. You may feel incomprehensible because the devil has so confused you and brought you to such a numb state. You are literally like Sam when his arm was totally cut off from his body, lying in a total state of numbness. You need to step up, to stand up and be restored by looking to the God that cannot deny Himself, because He is so holy. He has a holy obligation. You may say that's sacrilege, blasphemy. It is sacrilege, it is blasphemy not to believe that, that God has a holy obligation to His Word, to you no matter what state you're in, when you come by faith, in the blood of Christ. Now, beloved, the blood was not only there for your salvation, that at that moment of salvation cleansed you from all sin. The Word is always in the present continuous tense, and God knows thereafter salvation. There is need for you to come again. There is the possibility of what happened, not just an individual isolated sin once God has set you free, but a total tragic condition, such as Samuel was, and you may be severed, cut off from abiding in Christ. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself except it abides in the vine, no more can ye except ye abide in me. God has warned. You have to be reattached. You have to come for God to perform what He's able to perform, the impossible. God delights in the impossible. Satan hates anyone to dare to ask God with a pure heart, urgently, what is impossible. But it's what God delights and waits for you, but He waits for you. Don't you believe He doesn't? Come to God. Come to God. Put your faith back in Him to restore you again to what is vital and imperative for your survival. I want you all right now to carefully consider that His family, this to me is very, very important, they didn't stand there. This would be unbelievable. What family would stand there and criticize Him for His condition, for this tragedy that occurred, that now they all have to suffer the shock of the setback. What family on earth would stand there looking at this man and his condition, a family member, and condemn him, and criticize him, and leave him in a state. Now that, to me, is strewn through the New Testament, and the Old, if you look carefully. But there's nothing in the New that is not clearly taught by illustration and example in the Old. And that's why we have the Old, to understand what to do. Now beloved, God's Word exhorts us, as His children, born of God, in the same family of God. In Galatians 6.1, brethren, brothers, if a man be overtaken in a fault, that is, if he tragically falls into sin, if you look at the context, this is all it means. Ye which are spiritual, that's a shock. You want to know who's spiritual? Let someone fall into sin in your congregation. Beginning with your pastor. You want to see who's spiritual? In one moment, let someone in your congregation or movement fall into sin. You know who's spiritual. By those who condemn, criticize, stand around doing nothing but destroy and more. And want him destroyed. Forgetting all the grace God had on them. How quick we are to forget that when we judge others. Be careful. Judge not, lest ye be judged. With what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged. And with what measure ye meet, it shall be measured to you again. Don't doubt that. The God who promises things we cling to because they're full of love. That's a promise. Oh God lied. Oh God lied. Be careful, don't play the fool with this book, sir. Cut out every verse you will not have before you say, I believe in what I carry in my heart. Ye which are spiritual, restore such an one. Strange. Now he doesn't look to the man, he looks to the family. That's a responsibility. To bear the name of Christ is an enormous responsibility. Otherwise you lose the right to bear the name of Christ. But if you do, you save his name. If you don't listen to this book and obey it. Redeem. Restore such an one. In the spirit of meekness, considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. You've got to be careful when a man or a woman falls. I know a preacher who went to a woman who fell. And he fell into sin with her. And he was one of the most revered preachers in Africa. In our history. It shook the nation. He got right, of course, he got right. His aged wife forgave him. Be careful. Brethren, brothers, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such a one. In the spirit of meekness, considering thyself, you be careful as a distance. And there's always others who must be with you. If you deal with the opposite spiritually. Always. Ye which are spiritual, what a staggering responsibility to your own testimony. Let alone the person that's fallen. You lose credibility as someone who has any reality with God that meaningful, that isn't just here, but reaches here. of how you react when someone falls. Sir, Paul condemned and publicly rebuked a man in Corinth who was just continuing, yes, as if nothing had happened. And everybody was aware of his sin. Be careful. But I want to warn you. I don't know a single man that rebuked someone who'd fallen into sin publicly that didn't fall into worse sin than they were. I want to warn you. In missionary societies and holiness movements, I don't know one man that I witnessed rebuking a person publicly that didn't fall into worse sin. Before you use Paul's example in one instance in the entire New Testament. Oh, by the way, what Paul had in mind worked. The man who was restored, and then Paul rebuked everyone else who wasn't willing to let him back and continue with loving him and gratefully got back to God. Be careful. He that is spiritual, like the family of Samuel, as a true family, they didn't condemn. They ran crying to God compassionately, and he was healed. Hallelujah. Because the family was there. Restore such a one in the spirit, the highest standard in the entire Bible. If you were to sing a lot about a particular book, you would think of Romans, Christ's Sermon on the Mount. Yes, all these have an incomparable facet on the standards of God, but the highest standard available in the entire Bible that is so staggering, people are scared to preach from certain passages. Many will never dare to. It is the first epistle of John. John Wesley said that John Fletcher was most certainly the godliest man that ever lived since the Apostle John. Now I thought not so much about Fletcher, but I thought about John with that statement. Of course, Fletcher was godly. Just read his book. Oh my, the Apostle of Love. Paul, the Apostle of Love. I've never recovered. It was the first book I read that I, apart from the Scriptures, No wonder John Wesley said that of John Fletcher. But we come back to John himself. Here is a book that is so controversial that most movements don't even get into the controversy. They're so scared. Chapter 3. Whosoever is born of God doth not sin. He cannot sin because he is born of God. Whosoever sinneth doth not sin. I heard a man stand up in a debate. Have you ever been in a debate? A lot of priests who have a lot of wisdom, some of them more, you know, all they fight for is defending their biased doctrine. And they'll die doing it rather than care for their soul. That around them is going to be destroyed You should have heard them. The Greek of one John 3 doth not habitually. Another man stood up, walked up, and wrote the Greek. It was a second language basically at this quiet time in Greek, by the way, biblical Greek. Now, he says, Sir, I don't know where you went to for theology. Go back to school and scot and haught those tragic men that influenced the New Transition. You won't find another text. You won't find another interpretation. It is literally cannot sin, doth not hope. So, now there was a big debate. It was thrilling. Forgive me. When there's a good old fight going between theologians, you learn a lot. You learn who spirits who many times yet learned a lot of lessons there. But I enjoyed it. Of course, I was trembling with everybody else, but it's lovely. Don't do it, though. I was in a meeting one day with theologians. Theologians actually started fisting each other. I screamed, stop. They all looked at me. I said, wait, let me get out of here. This my testimony of what I am. What am I doing now? I'm diverting. We're talking about 1 John, so 1 John 3. Let me tell you something about the Bible that you need to remember, every one of you. You are a heretic if you take any single verse or passage or chapter or book and don't compare it in the light of all the scriptures. You see, don't look at Romans 9. Before you've read Romans 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. Because if you just look at Romans 9 and forget about that, you'll blame God for men's choice to go to hell. But you might find that Romans 9 doesn't mean what you will find it says if you read chapter 1. For this cause, God gave them up. Even as they did not like what they were doing. Let me tell you something. You don't blame God. You find three chapters in Romans 9, 10, 11 that he's referring now. He's taking methodically every single aspect and facet of the scriptures and every doctrine. He's speaking to the Jews who argued we the chosen people, God can't bypass us and go to the Gentiles. What if? What if God will argue that I want to reach the Gentiles? The cup of my wrath is filled against you. And to tell them that one day, well let's not go into that where God will restore them as a people but as individuals so they are only saved if it's through the blood of Jesus Christ. Because as many as received him to them, you see, he's speaking of the Jews there. He came to his own, not to everybody. You've got to look at the context. Now, sir, the context of every single verse. Jehovah's Witnesses are heretical because they have verses, they have passages, but they can't look at the verses before, the verses after, or the rest of the book. It cancels out totally and they know it. And that's why they're going to hell if they don't turn. Don't say they don't know it. They don't know the doctrine. Be careful of the danger of that. Whatever group you come from. One John speaks twice. And John knew that. You wouldn't say you're of the devil if any sin comes back in your life because then all of us are of the devil. Show me one man after salvation that never sinned, that didn't need to come again. John, we would know that if we had read the whole letter. You don't take a letter, sir, and take the middle page and say, this is all I want to know. Pow! Forget about the rest of what the man says. You're in trouble. One John on two occasions speaks of sin in a believer and what we're to do. You have no right to give up, sir, once you're saved. You have no right. You dare not believe you have a right to give up. You get up because God knew the possibility of your sinning after salvation. And God has said the same God that you put your faith in his promises. It's not the promises, but the God who gave the promises in the same book that we know is divinely inspired. I want to preach on that next year to undo a few arguments that are going on and undo the possibility of sin. It's there on your road to the celestial city with all the powers of hell against you. You will fall and you need the blood. So it's in the present continuous tense. It carries on. It's there. Not a sin-excusing doctrine. One John, chapter two, verse one. My little children, those who are born of God. Not just little children. These things write I unto you that ye sin not. That's a wonderful statement. Preach that for God's sake before you start preaching sin. You know, grace. Careful. Always preach the full verse when you quote the way out. Of course, one John three and Romans six, and I can just go on and on and you can find a sermon where I preach 200 verses where I memorized on how you know you're saved. I did not say what word would and that's why no one could touch me though there was anger by those who want sin all their life. Every step of the way. Oh, forgive me. My little children, these things write I unto you that ye sin not. Preach that. What have we got to preach? There's victory, thank God there's victory in Jesus. There's victory. Now, sir, one John two, these things write I unto you that ye sin not but if, that is a very vital word, if any man, Christian, full stop, not unsaved, sin, what do you do? Give up? No, you don't. You don't gloat over it and brazenly come for forgiveness all the time because the blood continually cleanses And that's why one John three is there. That's why Romans six is there and many, many other passages. That we be not deceived, no unrighteous person shall enter the kingdom of God nor that he defile it and he names it, sir. And God's mind, he says unless you turn from that and let me set you free, you'll never see the kingdom of heaven. Be careful with the God you handle and the book you handle with all the powers of hell against you. And he knows the powers of hell because he was a human. He had a high priest that cannot be moved with the feeling of our infirmities, all points tempted like as we are. Yet without sin, therefore let us come boldly to the throne of grace to obtain mercy and grace to help in time of need. You see, we can come boldly, not brazenly, but in faith to a holy God and once that you have a short account with God before the next thing comes in your disillusionment and shock and you restore yourself in all the life you've been given to know that this isn't going to happen very easily again. We have an advocate with the Father, God promises. He is the propitiation for us and that's from Leviticus 16 where the high priest would come and sprinkle blood on the altar, on the mercy seat. This is literally Christ, who stands before God and ever liveth to make intercession for us where he is able to save him to the uttermost to come to God through him. We have a high priest that's blood, his own blood, which is only the picture of the Old Testament. Everything pointed to Christ, every sacrifice, everything concerning blood. You cannot be saved or forgiven by blood of animals. God was looking in his patience to man from before to Christ's death. Now, we have this advocate, Jesus Christ the righteous, he is the propitiation. He stands at the mercy seat, he stands with God the Father and he shows his own blood which ever cleanseth, which is present continually as we confess and as we turn to him and look to him for hope to get up, to go on and not to be ended. Jesus Christ the righteous, he is the propitiation and not for ours only but also the sins of the whole world if they repent and look to his blood for initial cleansing as they repent from all sin that is for which have confessed and forsaken their sins the same sin of mercy. Now, beloved, that is if you sin as an individual. God tells you what to do in 1 John but he doesn't stop there. In 1 John 5-16 he tells you what to do if any man see his brother sin. That's something. Now, let me tell you something if you do. You're in the test, not him. You're facing the exam, not him. He's failed the exam but suddenly you're in the exam of what? The set workbook of God. To pass or fail what God says you must do. If any man see his brother sin what does he do? Gets on the phone, has the little list of every single person he knows on earth. You want to know how to get news across the land? Don't go to the networks and the news medias. It'll spread faster if you just whisper it to a Christian who's not right with God. Trust me, nothing will spread faster. The devil knows it. If he finds a whisperer just go on the internet to a message and you'll get news from the spring, I believe, from the testimonies that have come from across the world through that message. Just scriptures, by the way. When Satan finds a whisperer. Nonetheless, if any man see, God says, his brother sin, a sin which is not unto death. Oh, that's a statement. He shall ask and he shall give him life which is not unto death. Now, sir, it's not the person in that condition that's restored because of his cry. It's the way you cry to God when you see that makes God has a holy obligation because of your compassion and prayer and faith and care. You come to God with such compassion, with such a cry that God has a holy obligation to us. There's such a compassion. God, oh God, before anybody else becomes aware of this, God, don't let this go on. Don't let his family know, God, that his children won't look at him again in their life without disrespect. Don't let his wife find out, God, that his marriage could be destroyed if she could never trust him again until she dies. Don't let his congregation, if he's a preacher, or any Christian, don't let anyone know, God. Ye that are spiritual, how do you restore such a one? It's not just going, considering yourself trying to reach him. Sure, there's such prayer, there's such a compassion, crying out like that family did urgently in compassion for God's mercy. He shall ask, that word to reach him, God. Speak to him, God, if it means me going. But before anyone finds out and he destroys the credibility or the right to preach or the right to ever name the name of Jesus, before he loses that, oh my God, restore him, my God, speak to him, God, deal with this, make him, oh, and that prayer, that prayer is so full of compassion and faith that it's amazing. He shall give him life to them that sin not unto death. Now that's pretty controversial. There we go that way. There is a sin unto death, speaking of spiritual death. I do not say that he should pray for that. You see, there's one sin God won't forgive, a man, the unpardonable sin, the only time God speaks it speaks in the Bible of one thing only. I've met many people, even preachers who said to me, I believe I've committed the unpardonable sin, the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost. And I said, well, you couldn't have, otherwise you wouldn't be here concerned because if you commit the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost, it's impossible for you to even have concern. You'd be incapable. The fact that you concern me, let me tell you something, I've never met a man, I've prayed with multitudes over 47 years of preaching, 48 years this year, who believed they had committed the unforgivable unpardonable sin, that is the blasphemy. One little boy, he's a preacher, who said, Keith, I've never told anybody, but I believed all through the years from a child when I had six diseases and I lied dying and thousands were crying to God for me to be saved. And I began to swear at God and blaspheme. I began to really be angry with God and I really cried, and since then the devil told me, I said, no, you haven't committed that sin, that's not the unpardonable sin and you wouldn't have any concern. He said, what do you mean? How can God forgive me? I said, listen, there's one sin in the Bible and in its context it speaks about the Pharisees who looked at Jesus for one reason, knowing he's good, but because of sin and carnality they became jealous. That's their sin. They couldn't find any fault with him so they sat trying to catch him at his word. That's when you've got to destroy somebody even if there's nothing you've got you have to go on until you find something to destroy God, manifest in the flesh who you say and believe you're serving. They hated the God, that's how far they were from God, that they said they were serving in the ordained religion of God set upon earth. We're not serving in that day. Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? Literally, John Wesley, Luther said, Calvin said, Zwingli said, and Wesley, and Andrew Murray. That prophesying there, speaking of preaching, related to Peter, the prophesying of the word of God, the anointed, unadulterated, unsonized teaching, preaching of the oracle of God in the light of eternity. That was Luther who started it because he had perfected that statement. That is what the edifying gift of prophesying, which is always the first is, that God can anoint you in the order of gifts. The word gifts, by the way, I don't like. If you look at italics in the King James, because you had to make sense of what the word is. But we have been so abusing the word gifts, brother, sister, we're scared to use it today. An instantaneous power. No, it's an enjoyment by the grace of God. That's the significance in a certain sense. By God, you don't tell anybody, everybody knows it. The moment you start telling anybody about that gift, you haven't got anything from God at all. So, be careful. Nonetheless, the blaspheme against the Holy Ghost is when the Pharisees looked at Christ and because of their carnal, sensual sin, and evilness, and corruption, and conscience defiance, conscious defiance against what is right by the common sense and conscience God gave every man. They defied it, they went against it, and they had to kill him because they were threatened and jealous, because they didn't have the crowd's attention or adoration as this man. Oh, the miracles performed. So, they said, he performeth these miracles by the power of ze Beelzebub, that is the devil. He's working through Christ when these miracles happened. Now, sir, that is the only instance in the entire Bible where God speaks, where Christ turned and said, this is the only sin that will never be forgiven of man. To say that what is the Holy Spirit through Christ, not through others, be careful that you throw it into your little category to defend your doctrine and way off teachings of emotionalism and manifestations and then blame anybody who doesn't go all that way as committing, not committing, what we know is in the scriptures about the imbalance and diversion from the vital things. Be careful. The only time you are unforgiven is if you, and I've never met a man or woman in this world that said to me, they've said this and believe this through carnal reasons, that that which was done through Christ that never ever was seen in history or never spake man like us was the devil's power, I've never known a man who said that. So you haven't committed the unpardonable sin. But let's get back to this. If any man see his brother sin, a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, a very controversial statement but that's the belief of people on both sides of the spectrum that dare to actually elaborate or expound on that particular verse and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. Now that is precious to me. We dare not be severed, cut off from a vital relationship with God. The most vital discipline in every Christian's life is communion with God. Vital communion with God. Always remember a vital relationship with God is obtained and maintained primarily through an open Bible. Don't try any other way. Even if you look at a thousand DVDs a week, you're going to lose out. Even if you have 20 of the best spiritual devotionals in your life, if you neglect the Bible, you're in trouble. And your family will know it the day you stop. Any vital relationship with God is obtained and maintained primarily through the sacred, daily discipline of an open Bible. The daily meditating of the sacred pages of this holy book is God's way for you and me to have vital relationship with God. Even praying in the Spirit is not tongues. Sorry, no ways I could give a lecture on just this thing of the Spirit, what is of the Holy Ghost, and in the context what God's saying. The closest you will come to understanding the praying in the Spirit, sir, is to the degree you soak yourself in the Bible. Faith comes by the Word of God, not only to the unsaved, but to the saved. To the degree you soak yourself in this book, you will know the promises that God holds out. Your faith will be in the God who gave these promises, and you will start praying for the impossible. Listen, ye that are spiritual, restore such a one. Let him call, and this cry out to God, this compassion makes God have the holy obligation to step in and make all the powers of hell flee, because His name is at stake and His child is in need. And someone's fulfilling the conditions where God is now and has to fulfill His side. And by the way, you won't find a promise in the Bible that hasn't got a condition, when promises don't work until you do the condition. God has no obligation. And if you're honest, you might not find it in the verse, but just look a bit further than the Jehovah's Witnesses look around the context, you'll find the conditions. I was in a situation where they challenged me there, and I gave them 20 minutes, and then everyone just sat with their heads bowed and stood up and said, that's not true. No. How do we retain a vital relationship with God that keeps us in such a communing with Him? Oh, praying the Spirit is to the degree you soak yourself in the will of God, suddenly you find yourself praying as God wants you, led by the Holy Ghost. That happens, that I'm speaking in some other language, but with sensibilities and the consciousness and the promises of God that I come to God with, you find yourself moving the powers of hell on your knees. I believe that's praying in the Spirit, led by the Spirit, as a result of this book. So now, how do we find this relationship to the Word? Well, now, I used to go on tours, I canceled them the last two years for a number of reasons. Of the Eastern Cape of Africa, and I would preach in all these smaller towns, not great cities, one or two very great cities, but two plus or minus 20-something thousand people in every single instance, just going from town to town, little pits, old age homes. I said in one old age home, who will cry to God, I need you to save me before I die and I'm close to death. One man cries out, it's me, and God saved him. Wow, and he went through with God to this day. So don't believe a 90-year-old man can't get saved. He just needs the Word of God. Oh my, I had a 90-year-old man, not much, Afrikaans. He sat there and thinks, this English man, what am I doing here? This is breakfast service. Just because it's a breakfast, what am I coming for? I can't even hear the man. Even if I could understand, he doesn't speak loud enough. So I raised my voice at that moment and I just said, you must be born again. Except the man be born again, what? He goes, what is this old man, what's this English man saying? Born again. Daddy, I've told you that all these years. I've been begging you. You always say, no, I can't make it. Daddy, you need to be born. Church won't take you to heaven. You must help me. The man got saved. Gloriously saved. But where's Mama? She never knew this. What happened to Mama? Daddy again, Daddy. But you see us. You know what that old man did? What no preacher had done. In the history of that town, he walked from the door with the verses that led him to Christ and he highlighted them. And he visited every single home in the entire community. And he wept at every door. Many told me, oh, that's the word of God. Hallelujah. Isn't God's word great? Suddenly, pow, a man. Whoa. 90 years old. And every single home he visited before he died. Hallelujah. Oh, now, I would go on all these tours. And one day I preached 10 messages in one morning. Can you believe it? They wanted to kill me. I enjoyed it, though. It's a good way to die. Let's face it, it's impossible to retire. Oh, how do you retire from preaching? It's impossible. How do you retire from getting messages from God? Keep you up through the night and go with a burning heart? Impossible. How do you stop praying? How do you retire from soul winning? Impossible. You can't retire a preacher. Maybe he gets off from your pension, but let me tell you something. You can't stop. So, they had me preaching So, they drove me to the next town where I had to preach in a breakfast service. But I wasn't preaching that night. So, I said to them, I've preached so much, I've sat so long in the car, all the traveling to the next town, I'm going for a walk on this farm, wonderful farm, and I had to preach in the farming community, I had to preach in the town, leave me, I'm going for a walk. I've gotten my casual clothes, out of my suit at last, and I'm walking. Oh, I enjoy it. This farm is so massive, this is one of the great farmers of Africa, the governments even look to him, not only one country to help established farmers. Now, I'm walking, here's the mountains, here's the lakes, here's all the flocks of birds just goes on over the hills, over in this magnificent farm, just walking and worshiping the Lord and just having a clear mind. I love to walk and I love to walk miles every now and again when nobody's watching, 67 years old but I still run when no one's watching, just to stay alive, you see. But I walk and I walk and I walk and I walk and suddenly it got dark and I thought to myself, oh, I've walked too far, it's going to be dark and I thought to myself, oh, now how am I ever going to find my way back to the farmhouse on this country road, no lights, no freeways, nowhere, nothing, and wow, pitch dark. Just suddenly, and I'm walking and I'm panicking, what am I going to do, I'm going to fall off the edge into the lake, I'm going to fall off these cliffs that I walk along on this magnificent farm as it goes on miles upon miles in this wonderful country. How am I going to find my way back to the farmhouse in this dark, it's a pitch dark, the stars come, the moon comes, and then I stopped, to my surprise, there were stones in this road, this farm road that were illuminated like a golden red through the light that God gives us in the night and I looked and right through this valley, over the hill, this road was illuminated. Some geographical uniqueness of rock formation there that I've never seen on another farm and I've walked on many, many farms and country roads, but all fear went, peace flooded my heart, joy, as I realized I don't have to panic or fear because it's pitch dark and I don't know the way. These rocks illuminating the road all the way through show I enjoyed the walk back more than I enjoyed it there, to all that distance. Isn't that lovely? I had peace in my heart, flooding, though I tell you you couldn't see beside me total pitch darkness there, pitch dark, but this road with these illuminated now promises, and promises that you can go through the darkness of this world with peace because of faith in those promises, because of obedience to those commandments. You take those commandments and you obey and you put your faith in the promises. You will go through any darkness, your word is a lamp unto my feet, a light unto my path, nothing else. You are in communion with God to the degree you're soaked in the word and know the word. That's why you've got to soak yourself in it more than anything else and learn it and know these promises and know the cautions and know the warnings, a light unto my path and nothing else, sir. So don't neglect this because you'll get full of fear and horror will take hold of your heart in the darkness of this world. Sorry, the darkness that's across the evangelical church worldwide because they don't preach the word as they should anymore, but you'll be safe. Oh, you'll be safe and filled with God's peace and the light of his word. That's where communion, you know, in our country, I have stopped the car when I've preached and preached and preached so that I'm just numb and I see a country road and I walk on these trails and tracks. Oh, I've done that, miles. I've climbed some of the highest mountains in South Africa. You won't believe that. At this age it's possible. But I have enjoyed those country roads. The tracks, you know, here's a trail, so you go, oh, it's just beauty, the beauty and the love. Your mind clears. That's why I walk so many miles, as much as I can and stay alive and go through with God as I walk many times. So I walk and then you come across a river. You're going across this rock, so you just go and you come to a river. Now what do you do? You see the other side of the river, the trail goes on, the track goes on. Here's the river now and it's flowing. You will always find that those who made the trail did something. They placed stepping stones right across the river. There's not one river I've ever found, even if it's torrentially flowing, that they aren't stepping stones and they're so firm. You can stand and not be in danger and walk across that torrent. Now, brother, sister, the word of God are those stepping stones. You will find the promises here that whatever comes against you when thou passest through the waters, they shall not burn thee. And through the fires, they shall not burn thee. My word. Start in Isaiah 40, the richest promise in the Old Testament to the Christians, meant to the Christians in this dispensation, sir, for your survival through the deepest waters. God doesn't say that you're never going to pass through deep waters, but they're not going to flow over you because I'm with you. Through the fires, they're not going to burn you. You're going to come out like Daniel's friends. You don't even smell the smoke. Some Christians come out of fires and all you smell is smoke till the day they die, you know. No. God promises, as on dry land and the Red Sea. I read a book, oh, this guy, I won't tell you his name, he has all these theories, you know, and he says he's convinced that the River Jordan stopped because geographically he's found a mountain that literally, pow, and it stopped the river. So three million, let me tell you something, you don't have to explain the miracles of God through some geographical thing. Brother, that's ridiculous if you can't believe a God that created billions and billions of stars, and hey, talking about millions of galaxies now, in one word, by the way, I believe that, not in a billion words, in one, pow, and it was so. I believe that. Pow, it stopped flowing. Pow. And you walk through, nothing but a divine miracle. Now the same God, no matter what's coming, when the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will raise up a standard against him. You have these promises, the promises that will keep us safe right through, but it's the word of God, we dare not sever ourself or cut ourself off from a vital relationship and communing with God. Secondly, we dare not cut ourselves off or sever ourselves from vital fellowship with the godly. In the Kruger National Park, the most visited national park game reserve in the world, millions go annually to this magnificent, five African nations, but you can't see all the animals, you've got to go by plane to even glimpse all these massive flocks. No, but in South Africa, we have the Kruger National Park and it's a wonderful place. You can drive in the most magnificent vehicles and stay in the most magnificent hotels, five-star hotels for the rich, four-star for the not-so-rich, out in the open. I've got South Africans here, I'd better be careful what I say. Here we are. Now, those poor people who have to stay in tents, let me tell you how many times in the newspaper since I was born through the years, lions literally outside there. Imagine waking up to that. So it's not as safe in tents as it is in hotels, you see, where there's really good protection. But anyway, protection is required of you. Brother Daniel, there is a real crisis that has to be discussed, has to be dealt with and we need you to fly across South Africa to come to the situation that this thing can be dealt with. I said, oh my, we ask your wife to come also. We've contacted her, we're flying her and you will all be there and we know in your program all this preaching you're doing and I phoned Jenny, I said there must be some real crisis, some of the leadership that's fallen into wickedness and sin and the whole movement is in problems and now they want to all come together so we'd better go. They want to discuss what to do about this thing now. I said, well, nonetheless, we fly. Helicopter. Where to? A five-star hotel in the Kruger National Park. To get on these flights and to come to some meeting here. There's an urgent thing required. So this man looked at me, this black man and said, wait a minute. So he goes, he calls the manager, she comes through. Oh, you, Mr. Daniel. No, there's no meeting. The crisis is you. Yes, they're anonymous. You will never find out who they are. That's paid for. This is the best hotel in the world. They say you are urgently in need of giving time to your wife because you preach all the time. That's the crisis. And your health. No one believes you're going to survive. So this is the crisis. You are the crisis. And so these people have arranged that you have a few days off. I believe you've got a few days from your preaching program together in the best room we've got. Okay, you're supposed to feel guilty So we go now into this room. Believe me, you've never seen such a room in your life, as big as this room. And there's no exaggeration. You can't believe it. Whoa, what are they doing here? You can't believe the bedroom. You just walk in, where does it end? Bedroom, what do they need so many one bedroom, all these things? The bathroom, you can dive in the deep end and become a missionary. Do you understand me? Every now and again, when you're close to death, people might think of such a thing, okay? So, don't forget now. Nonetheless, here we are, five o'clock in the morning. We have this big meal outside, candelabras, and the Zula dancing, you know. We won't go into that, but we had to go listen to that and then all these wonderful things and meals like you can't believe and then bed. Five o'clock in the morning, this game warden, one of the best in the world. You can't believe the education of man in every animal, species, every single thing. Brilliant, he was a Christian, by the way. You will be ready at five o'clock in the morning, otherwise you will not see the most of what we can show you. We're covering on the sides but about so high from the floor and the lions now come. Within half an hour, lions are looking up at you and he says they will not jump up. You've got to believe him, trust me, even though you fear as he seems to look up at you. Oh, tigers, all he sees is walking but they never will jump up on a steel structure that's that high from the ground. Impossible. People actually get out of their cars and last year, a whole family wiped out. When the cheetah was right there, they're focusing now on this, get out of the car, dead. You don't get out of a vehicle or you're dead. And just about every year, there's instances people do that. In other instances, elephants just turn the car over because they did something ridiculous but anyway, here we are, we're growing along as the buffaloes, very different to all buffaloes, African buffaloes are fighting because they're all contending for leadership because there's one leader and wow, this is ferocious. You sit there thinking what's going to happen here? And you see these ones, these are hippopotamuses, rhinoceroses, all these things. But you get as high as this roof on the floor. That's an incredible height but that's why they're unbelievably high. These tall, beautiful things all covered with spots, very graceful. You want to try and keep up with them, then you know how fast they run, these graces. Nonetheless, there they are and all around these giraffes, I mean something like about 100 giraffes, you find zebras, hundreds of zebras all around. You find them all around. And so, you know what a zebra is? It's a horse, a white horse painted with black stripes. In case you don't know what a zebra is. Nonetheless, here we are, these zebras. So I said, why is it that the zebras are following the giraffes when they go, look, they just flow along no matter how fast they get around. He said, somebody actually asked after all these years, you asked a question that's intelligent, sir. Okay, well, why? This is because these zebras are short, they can't see afar off. But the giraffes are tall and they can see, they eat the tree leaves from the top of the tree and they know when predators are coming. They know when there's danger and predators approach and they turn and signal to each other and they run. We run after them and you want to see how fast a car has to go to keep up with them. All these zebras, while you see they're just graciously running at some incredible speed. But they were warned, you see, and they know. And then once the zebras look around the giraffe and start eating again, all the zebras just believe and trust because of those that can see afar off, you see. Now that's something wonderful to me. We dare not cut ourselves off from communing with Christ. We dare not cut ourselves off or be severed, cut ourselves off from the communing with the godly. Hebrews 10 verse 25, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together as the manner of some is, but exhorting, encouraging one another and so much the more, as you see the day approaching. You see 1 Peter 5 verse 1, the elders which are among you, I exhort, feed the flock. What does that mean? Literally, shepherd the flock which is among you, taking the oversight thereof. Like those giraffes, they can see afar of what the younger, the elders can see the dangers of things and warn and run and you follow. That's why we need to not forsake the assembling, the godly elders, taking the oversight there, watch over the flock which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensembles to the flock. Likewise ye younger, in the faith, submit yourselves to the elder. Hebrews 13 verse 17, obey them that have the rule over you. Submit yourselves for they watch for your souls as they that must give account that they may do it with joy and not with grief. That's unprofitable for you. Ezekiel 3 verse 17, son of man, I have made thee a watchman under the house of Israel. They would also hear the word of my mouth and warn them from me. You see, we speak to the unsaved through those verses, it's the people of God that God was speaking, that had to be warned in this particular passage that doesn't necessarily mean that you stop attending church because of obligation of your parents or family. But you can sadly close your heart to fellowship with the godly deliberately, even if you're attending fellowship through obligation. Beware, you can become cold toward God and his people. The devil can do that even if you're attending a godly, conservative, fundamental, evangelical church. The consequences of cutting yourself off from fellowship and their influence, you dare not sever yourself off from that. The elders among you, let me tell you something, you want to see danger, find a church full of young people where there's no elder, they've been pushed out. They're too old fashioned, we've got to change the music, we've got to change the standards, we've got to change everything, even the message. Seek out the godly for fellowship. God intends you to seek out where you see the godliest of the godly, even if it's a small group and very few young people. Young people seek out the godliest of the godly for they can see afar off, they look over your soul, they can warn you and you know where dangers are. And many of these, many if not every, will end up doing disgrace to God as there's no elders who are able to warn you. I was preaching in one of these towns on this 90 day tour, this is the last day. I was preaching and an old man came up to me after something I preached and he said, let me tell you something. I read a tract, a booklet, a little tract that I'm going to try and find for you, they're still going to get it to me. It's a true story, this really happened. A young man, quite afar off, realized that these children hadn't seen the warning somehow, unexpectedly in a way, nobody could believe how they got there with this whole rogue way. But here they're standing with dynamite and the men down at the bottom crying out, throw it away, throw it away, throw, what are they screaming at us? Throw it away, throw it away, throw it away, Suddenly he says, throw it away. So these boys threw it away, this really happened. Over the cliff, the edge blew up, the one is maimed, the other very tragically hurt, but they survived even though they were tragically hurt, And we must not fail to warn the younger. That's our, we will give account, God says, as elders, if we do. Just read 1 Peter 5. And ye youngers, you obey fast, because what happens to you if you don't obey is your fault and will bring shame on God. You need the elders, you need godly. Oh, to throw them away, even a little leaven, leaveneth the whole lump, the whole of your life, if you played a fool with a zittle. You've got to warn them, these learnings. You've got to warn them. Be not conformed to this world, the spirit of this world, and everything that that spirit influences, in every aspect. Abstain from all appearance of evil. You have to warn them. Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any men love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. One John 2 verse 15. Know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God, young men? Whosoever therefore be the friend of the world is the enemy of God! We need to preach that, for God's sake, for their sakes, and for yours, elders. And you need to submit and obey. You need the example, you need the warnings. They can see afar off. They know the dangers. That's why you need the elders. Throw it away! Throw it away! Oh, thank God for men who still stand in the poop with the sharp edge of the sword, and not scared of offending, but scared of destroying because of lack of teachings. That should be. Oh, what fellowship hath light with darkness? Throw it away! We need to cry the standards of God, not man-made standards. And they're all strewn through the Bible. Yeah, listen to this, throw it away. Colossians 3 verse 2, set your affections, your heart, on things above, not on things on the earth. And then he tells you what? Mortify, put to death, throw it all out of your life! Fornication, uncleanness. He's talking about sensual uncleanness. Get rid of this, anything that can lead you there. Inordinate affection, passions that are abnormal. Sensually, evil concupiscence, evil desires. You have to deal with these things, young man. And covetousness, which is idolatry. Why does God say that? Why does covetousness be put here with fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affections, evil concupiscence, the worst sins that Romans 1 damns to hell? Why does God cry covetousness with these wicked evil sins for the witch's sake? The wrath of God cometh upon the children of disobedience, but now ye also, put these things off! Throw it away, young man! Throw it away, you young people! Don't play the fool with covetousness, with all these evil things. The same thing happens in Ephesians 4 verse 19. He says in verse 17, walk not as other Gentiles walk in the vanity of their mind, who work all uncleanness. And he names all these filthy, evil sins that in Romans 1, verse 16 onwards, to the end of the text, and all over, and including here, and how he adds these words with greediness. Put off these deceitful lusts! Greediness, covetousness, with these wicked sins, why does God say, throw it away! Oh, there's danger! Covetousness, which is the sin of idolatry. My wife does this terrible thing. When I'm preaching, it's not so easy to preach to your wife. So, she disappears, again and again, even on this tour. And there in Missouri, in this great convention of the Maranatha Baptist Church, where Jenny, in the mornings, and my son, address the ladies, and the boys, J. Roy, and the men, and then I preach in the night. Now, she disappears when I'm preaching in the night. She sits there, there, she's made an appearance. Boom, the first moment, she's off where? To the baby's room, because no baby's allowed to be anywhere near where I preach. You see, there's a big glass thing put in the pulpit that I normally use, he's brittle, he will die. You will be guilty of murder. If you don't take your baby out immediately, and you'll be always remembered, your baby will be the one, and you, that will always be referred to as the one that killed him, finally. So, up, out, you see there's these beautiful rooms with lovely sofas, and carpets, and it's beautiful. You've got all the mothers with babies, and a big screen, loud, above the babies crying. So you can hear, you see, like they've got here. That's because this old man is brittle. Nonetheless, my wife disappears, she loves to go to the toddlers, you know, whoa, and the mothers, and all the screaming, but listening, she knows when I make one mistake. That's what a wife's for, but anyway. Here we are now, my wife's there, she was telling me now the most astonishing thing that happened. Nonetheless, there were two little boys, but they were very little, by the way. What were they doing? The one had an imaginary car. Here's the mummy, and this little boy, and then he was quite amused, the mummy, everybody's amused. No real car, imaginary car. Sold me a car, they didn't have an imaginary car. Anyway. The other toys around there for the children were not good enough for him, so he has his imaginary car. He's got this car, and he's having a whale of a time, all by himself with his imaginary car. Now the other little boy looks at him. Grr! And so he runs, and he dives on this poor boy. Pow, boom, bang, and he grabs his imaginary car. Rah! And he runs. My car, mine, not yours. This is an imaginary car, by the way. What happened? They're looking, and he says, you can't believe what's going on here, but what's going to happen? This little fellow with his imaginary car being stolen from him, he, rah, pow, boom, and you can't believe the fist fight and the horrible consequences because his imaginary car had been stolen. Give me back my car, mine, mine, rah! Does this, carries on, and it's a terrible fight because he's still got hold of the imaginary car. He won't let go. This robber. Nonetheless, the mother now embarrassed, and all the mothers, whoa, this is something that doesn't happen to this degree. You know, to control them, what are we gonna do? So he says, well now, she says, listen. Give him back his car, his imaginary car. Give it back to him so that there's no fighting, and then you, you have a imaginary car that's yours, and you play with your imaginary car, and he plays with it, and you play together. Don't fight, give it back to him now. What else would you do? What would you do to solve the problem? Give it back to him. No! My car is mine now. No, I will not give it back to him. No more, ah, we're starting again. Whoa, the horrible, awful fight. Now, that's impossible, isn't it? But it happened. You want to be shocked why God throws this word covetousness and greediness he uses in Colossians and Ephesians. These two words, they're the same, by the way. Covetousness, greediness, they is actually speaking of the same thing, which is the same. of jealousy that leads to covetousness, that leads to these things. Let me shock you. You won't believe what leaders of holiness movements, leaders of conservative, deeply conservative fundamental evangelical movements in the world have resorted to that's beyond belief. What through? Through greed, through covetousness. You won't believe what you'll stoop to. I've seen things that you cannot believe someone in leadership could destroy the reputation, destroy the credibility of an entire mission by one thing. When greed came in his heart, what he resorted to, that's beyond comprehension. What he resorted to, to take what he thinks he needs from others and others don't really have sometimes. I've looked at that in one of holiness that you ever think you'd get things that aren't there. And you believe them, very, very careful. Covetousness, greed, jealousy can make a man lose all his sensibilities. I've witnessed it. Guard yourself from it, throw it away. You can't believe what will be left of your credibility if you don't. Let your conversation, let your conduct be without covetousness. Be content with such things as you have. You have to do this or God wouldn't warn you. Hebrews 13, verse five, godliness with contentment is great gain. Listen, it just isn't gain. You're gonna be tempted, but you have to throw these things out, you have to put these things off. 1 Timothy 6, verse six. I've learned that whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. Philippines four, having food and raiment, therewith be content. These desires for money, these desires for things that you haven't got, be content. Oh, it's a temptation, a snare that many foolish and hurtful lusts which drown men in destruction and position, 1 Timothy 6, verse eight. These things bring sorrows, pierce themselves through their faces with many sorrows, throw them away. Thou, O man of God, put off these things, any covetousness, any desire, anything that isn't content. Let me tell you something. The most miserable people you'll find on earth are not those who are starving. Now, be careful, I don't believe that we need to blind our eyes to that, but you'll find people who have so little that are more happy than the wealthy. Go to their children, you need to throw these things away. I know a church where the man said, nearly 3 quarters of his entire congregation, it's literally thousands in a very affluent area, joined this church because they attempted suicide. Most of them are millionaires, many of them are multimillionaires, a few are billionaires. He says, this area, I've been called to hospitals where people attempted suicide, millionaires, all the time, millionaires, multimillionaires. You think you're gonna find any contentment, happiness, fulfillment, if you pursue these things? You'll just destroy yourself, and so spiritually, let me tell you, don't do this. Avoid these things, throw them away, be content with such things, God knows what you have need of. He always, or he defies himself, provide your needs, not your wants, most of what you want won't bring you happiness, like you think, it will not. You'll never cease to want, let me tell you something about wanting, whatever God gives that you want, you want more, that's when the sin of covetousness, of greed, is in you, and jealousy of those that have, who are so many unhappy, tragic tragedies, oh, don't go that way, it's as evil in God's eyes as idolatry, it's as evil in God's eyes as the rest of those sins that are damnable, and you ought to put these, and the elders, ought to be examples, firstly, because you can't tell somebody something you are not, that's why I find it hard to find these people running around in rolled voices with megachurches, crying out for money every second sentence, because that's all they want. To be able to preach one word from the book is quite a feat if you live like that. So here we are, you dare not be cut off, severed at Samuel's arm of fire, the family dare not sit back and criticize, those that are spiritual, you lose your credibility as those that have any relationship with God, if you just condemn, restore such a one, and then you need, you dare not be cut yourself off from vital communion with Christ, or from the godly, when you seek a church, don't seek crowds, that doesn't mean God's there, mostly that means God's not there, so until a revival comes, you won't find God there, you'll find money's there, and entertainment, you need the company of the godly, you need to seek out where there's godly, elders, who've walked with God years, who can see afar off, and you're safe, you're safe in fellowship with Christ and in fellowship with the godly, even if it's a handful of godly and you're the only young person there, you're safer than a man with a thousand young people who can't see afar off and go their own way, no matter what the scripture says. You forget the sermon, I pity your testimony. And the rest of your life, even if you're saved, I pity, and everyone that's influenced by you, throughout your life, I pity. Can we stand please, and throw it away, you're so safe and you, because you're in a godly family and you're the youngest and you get all the wisdom a father and mother, and grandpapa and grandmama can give you, and protection, and warnings. Over years of learning, so bless the Lord. Thank you sincerely for coming, every one of you. I know your face, where are you from? Of course you're from Baltimore. Goodness me, is that Washington? Isn't that wonderful? Your name? Henry, of course it's Henry. You know how I remembered, there's a hole in the bucket, oh, you were no dad, that's before your time. That's how I remember names, the most delightful things, but still, and this is you, this is? Goodness me, you're too young to have a son this age. You're taller than me, boy. Do you know how many people I said, you have to become a preacher to, became preachers, simply because that was the first moment they became aware of something that they couldn't put off because God just confirmed it. So I hope you're in the pulpit soon, brother. And I know mommy and daddy would love that. Thank you for coming so far, hallelujah. They were, who else must I thank for coming? I don't know you, where do you come from? Goodness me, with those people. Did you travel with them? Ah, but you know them? You do now, and you live in Washington, I live in Washington, D.C. now, I preach there. But the lady that's dangerous, her son said she's dangerous because she saw a blaze for God. She asked me, a Cuban lady, what a godly woman. You need to contact her. You know her, Marta Silva, what a woman. She's dangerous, but she's wonderful. So you need to contact her and have fellowship. Maybe you can't get in one building, but you can find her from all the buildings who's really godly, okay? It's not just who's in the building, it's everybody in sight. That's the church you must not forsake, assembling yourselves together with. Thank you for coming so far. And dear Rodney Keister, who's pulpit I preached many years ago in Pennsylvania. And then God led him to go out onto the streets with the little armies, and we get your newsletter. Wow, you certainly don't have any risk, brother. You're like an army on the march for soldiers with these groups on the streets. Isn't it wonderful? We bless God for you, dear Rodney. And we thank God from the Holiness Church. What Holiness Church is that? God's Ministry Church. Ah, I preached in some place. I ministered. Praise the Lord, that's lovely. The Holiness used to come to Africa, and brother, they were the highest standard and the most godly. We all wanted to emulate. Tragically, it's not so today. Forgive me. It seems a generation rose up, we lost the youth to worldly singing and worldly standards. But I will tell you this, all the holiness missionaries that came to Africa when I was young, everyone without exception. Hallelujah, that's what I'm groaning for too. Not only the holiness, every conservative movement on earth is throwing things away. If not for worldliness, for doctrines that simply deaden people. We mustn't get angry, Keith. I'm sorry. I believe you do. So we're all gonna pray for you. You got a newsletter here? Yes, I've got a stack in the van. There's a stack in the van that you'll put out there and everyone will take. Who will not take one of these, of this man of God? And tell me your name now. Isn't it horrible to be so horrible? There you are, Philip knows. South Africans can be pretty, hmm. Okay, and German. And Jews, who's a Jew here? Tell me quickly. We had Jews down there. Oh, remember, he took off this big thing. And he said, why do you use that baggage keeping that? No, he witnesses to Jews by saying, that means I'm a Jew. And he tells them the gospel. What a wonderful man. Yeah, that's, whose mother? Whose father is that? Alberto's wife, they're all Jews. And that brother of his, wow. As Jews, you get them saved. My brother, I don't know where I'm going to now, but my wife says, when you're tired, you make diversions. Sorry, my wife is not here to stop me. And you want to know the authority of a wife. My wife, one moment in a poop, but if you catch eyes, you know, stop. That's why we're given wives, good brother. I'll be honest, I would never have made it without my wife. I would have made shipwreck, doctrinally. I would have made shipwrecks and survival on a number of occasions if God hadn't given me the wife he knew I needed. I do believe it wasn't only Eve that God knew Adam needed desperately. And if you marry in the Lord to death, that man needs you. I met a man, his wife was dying. He was a Presbyterian minister. And trust me, there are godly Presbyterians. You understand? Campbell Morgan. Let's not go to all the Presbyterians. But his wife was dying. I was there in the town. And the doctor said, say goodbye to Auntie Sissy. She was a very godly woman. And he knelt and said, God, I want to die now also. I cannot face a moment in this world without Sissy. So please, let me die. I do not want one moment in this world without Sissy. I cannot survive and I don't want to live. If you take her, take me now, I beg you. And she wept. Do you know God healed her totally in one moment because of that? He didn't pray for healing. He said, take me. Because God knew he wouldn't survive one moment, he healed her. Now those doctor, nurses turned to Christ through that miracle. And that town, so this was no just some sensationalism. That town was shaken because they knew them. And they knew that woman was dying. It wasn't just some sensationalism. She lived for many years. And I stayed in their home, preached in their pulpit many times. Yes, we can't even live without them. I've said the same. And I know if God takes Jenny, I cannot survive. Let's put it this way. Not half of me, three quarters of me will be gone. How does a quarter of a man survive? So don't you go before him, dear lady. Do you understand? Will you pray for us, please? Can I ask that of our brother, Tim? Is that right? Would you please use this, because there are quite a few in there that need to say amen to a prayer at the end of a sermon. Tonight is the last message. Six o'clock. I'm toying around with different messages. I've got, well, if there's no one here, I can't preach the one message that's burning in my heart. First quarter, about two minutes, and then I'll see if I can get it right. If you know what's missing, I'll change the message in a moment. So you dare not stay away. Do you understand? Say yes, I'll be, yes. Please don't say no. Yes. Good, now you have to. Now daddy has a compa, he's compelled to come. Do you understand me? Don't worry, it works. That's why I do it. People can't bear the thought of the consequences if they don't come. Will you pray for us, please? And then we are going to listen to brother Tim to tell us about the lunch. We're all pleased. Will you pray for us, please? Yes, sir. Precious Lord, we again come to thee through the name that's above every name, the name of our Savior, the Lord Jesus. Thank you, Lord, for the privilege that we could gather together today in your name and have your word open, expounded unto us, Lord. Truly, Lord, it is a lamp and a light. Truly, Lord, it does just bless us exceedingly and abundantly above anything we could ask or think. Thank you, Lord, for your word that you've provided for us. Thank you for the life we have today. And Lord, when we can gather with others of like precious faith, those who have been washed in the blood, hallelujah, what a Savior. Yes, thank you, Lord, for the privilege to be here today, meeting our needs. Pray, precious Lord, your continual blessing upon each and every one that's gathered here today. Pray, Lord, you just bless them, Lord, in a special way. Thank you, Lord, for this brother. Lord, I will expound your word. I will yield it to your word. We want to thank and praise you. And Lord, as we think about the food, we just again pray, Lord. Lord, how you feed us with that spiritual stuff. I pray, Lord, that your blessing would be on the food and strengthen bodies and pray again that, Lord, we might be in a place where we could be used of thee. Thank you, Lord, for the warnings from your word, Lord. We ask all these things in Jesus' precious name, amen. Amen. God bless every one of you. Are we to eat immediately? Is it all ready?
