Will-He-Spew-You-Out Part 2

We are going to open our Bibles to the book of Revelation, Revelation chapter 1, reading the first three verses. The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to show unto his servants the things which must shortly come to pass, and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John, who bear record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw. Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein, for the time is at hand.

Let's bow our heads to pray. Our loving Father in heaven, almighty God, we bow before you, Lord. We acknowledge you, Lord, and we desire that you would be seen here tonight.

Father, open our eyes to see Jesus. Open our ears to hear Jesus and the word of God. Oh, Lord, we are so needy tonight.

We so long for you to manifest your presence and your glory among us, Lord. Father, that we would be changed by the spirit of God from glory to glory. Oh, Lord.

Father, I acknowledge, Lord, that except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain. Father, there's nothing in me. I can't change any person's lives, but oh, Lord, the touch of the master's hand can take that old broken violin and turn it into a beautiful masterpiece.

Oh, Father, we ask that you would minister by the Holy Spirit of God to our hearts here this evening. Lord, draw each one of us to yourself, and let the beauty of Jesus be seen. In Jesus' name, amen.

The revelation of Jesus Christ to show unto his servant things which must shortly come to pass. Blessed is he that readeth and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein, for the time is at hand. Dropping down to verse 19 for the sake of time here this evening.

We'll pick up in verse 19 of chapter 1. Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the thing which shall be hereafter. The mystery of the seven stars which are thawed in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.

Turn now to Revelation chapter 3. Revelation chapter 3. And verse 14, we'll pick up there. Revelation 3 and 14. And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write.

These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God. I know thy works. The eyes of the Lord are in every place beholding the good and the evil.

The eyes of the Lord are in every place tonight. God knows every one of us intimately. He knows our very thoughts.

I mean, it's baffling to me, but it's true. I believe it because God said it. He knows the number of hair on my head.

God knows even the intent of my will and being. That's amazing. He knows the intent of our heart.

God knows us. We cannot withhold any thought from the knowledge of almighty God. God knows us.

And you know, that can be so comforting. God knows us. He knows the sincerity of my heart.

He knows the longing of my heart. He knows my desire to be conformed into his image. He knows my desire to die to myself.

He knows it. Even though I fail at times and stumble, he knows my heart's desire. But he also knows tonight is my heart's desire is leaning toward evil and toward selfishness and toward pride.

And yet on the outside, I try to look like I love God. But God knows it. And tonight, he knows every one of us intimately.

And he knows the very desires and intentions of our heart. And he knows how many hairs on our head. My, my God, it's amazing.

How many billion people on the earth about today? Eight billion. I can't even wrap my mind around that number. So now if you were to multiply that by the amount of hair on everybody's head, and God knows.

Think of the heavens declaring the glory of the Lord. They keep making powerful and more powerful telescopes. And the farther they see into the heavens, the more galaxies they see and the more stars they see.

And you know what I believe? I believe God knows every star, and he calls them all by their number and name. But man has yet to learn, if he ever would, come to it, as to how many stars or even how many galaxies there are. Our God is an amazing God.

Our God is all wise. Our God is all powerful. Our God has created all these things for his glory.

And everything that was created was created by him and for him. Praise the Lord tonight. And he's created you and me as the crowning jewel of creation in his image.

And that we should bear his likeness. Oh, that is so wonderful. And he sent Jesus to redeem us and to save us and to transform us and to remake us into the image of Christ Jesus by the resurrection power of Jesus, by the power of the Holy Ghost.

My, my, praise the Lord, praise the Lord. I know thy works. The church at Laodicea had a great need.

He said, I know thy works, and I know that you are neither cold nor hot. I would that thou were cold or hot. I would that thou were cold or hot.

Now, I've heard this scripture explained in different ways, and I'm going to explain it the way I believe it. I used to think too, well, okay, Jesus would rather that you were totally cold and outside of Christ. And not be a hypocrite, not just be a pretender, and you're just simply cold, away from God.

But you know what? It's not Jesus' will. And then he should perish. I don't believe that Jesus would say, I want you to be cold.

I want you to be cold. No, I believe what Jesus is saying is that I want you to be cold like a refreshing drink. Didn't he say that if you give a cup of cold water in the name of the disciple, you shall not in any wise lose your reward? The Lord Jesus wants us tonight to be authentic, and to be real, and to be full of flavor, and vigor, and life, and taste.

Oh, yes, and that we're cold and refreshing to those who become in touch with the life of Jesus. Cold, all in. Cold, I mean, come on, ice cold.

Give me some ice in that Mountain Dew. Let's have an ice cold that is refreshing on a hot summer day. Give me that coffee that is so hot that I just have to sip it real careful.

And it just warms my mouth, and I can feel it going down my throat. It's just so comforting. It's just so refreshing, and so invigorating, and so fulfilling.

I would that you were cold or hot. So then, because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, he says, I will spew thee out of my mouth. That descriptive language can be spoken in this way as well.

I will vomit you out of my mouth. I will reject you with disgust. Because I was expecting something alive and vibrant in you, something cold and refreshing.

And instead, you're just flat, and tasteless, and lukewarm. I was looking for a cold, refreshing drink. I was looking for fruit out of your life.

I was looking for reality. I was looking for a life-giving fountain flowing. Out of your innermost being shall flow rivers of living, refreshing water.

Not a stagnant cistern, but rivers of living water. Yes, so then, because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of my mouth. Now, I can't imagine anything more searching for the word, more terrifying, more shocking, more sickening, more hopelessness, than to hear the Lord Jesus say, I will spew thee out of my mouth.

Like our brother Jerry was referencing Isaiah the other evening. Away with all of your solemn assemblies, and your new moons, and your feasts. Away with them, I'm weary to bear them.

I cannot bear them. They are sickening to me. I cannot imagine anything more terrifying.

I don't know what for English words to use. More devastating than to hear the Lord Jesus say, You are lukewarm, and therefore, I shall spew you out of my mouth. I'll vomit you out, rejecting you with distaste.

Nathan, try some coffee. Oh, what's it like? Cold, actually. Not much heat left.

Wow. Hey, thank you very much. You can be seated.

Thank you. Because thou sayest, I am rich and increased with goods, and have need of nothing. And don't know that you are wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked.

I would guess this evening that you probably noticed, along with myself, that sometimes in meetings like this, or other places where the gospel is being preached, and the call goes out to sanctify and consecrate yourself unto the Lord, and the call to repent, and to get serious with God, get wholehearted with God. Have you ever noticed? It's usually the ones that are the most wholehearted that will respond. And you know, they just want more of God, and they're quick to respond.

They're quick to acknowledge their needs and to repent, because they are close to God, they're closer to God, and they sense and feel the Spirit of God at work, moving, and motivating, and drawing, and convicting. And the other person sits there like, well, that was maybe a nice sermon, or so forth, but you know, not moved. You don't want to urge us here tonight.

It should alarm us, if we can sit under the sound of the gospel, night after night, and really, I mean, no sense of the Lord God speaking to my heart. I want the Lord to speak to my heart. I want Him to get my attention, and to speak to my heart, and to stir in my heart, and take me deeper with Him.

You know, I want to grow. I want to be transformed and changed, you know, like we were singing tonight. You know, be transformed, be renewed by the Spirit of God, and I need that continually.

Let's go back to Revelation chapter 2 for another look at one of these churches that Jesus addresses. We won't look at all of them tonight. That would take too long.

But we're going to look at Revelation 2 and verse 1. Under the angel of the church of Ephesus write, These things sayeth he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand and walks in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks. I know thy works. Praise God.

He knows. He knows what we're doing. He knows what we're about.

He knows where our interests are. He knows what motivates us. He knows what makes us get up and excited.

He knows what we love to talk about. He knows what we love to do. He knows our works.

He knows our actions. He knows our desires and longings. Ah, yes, I know your works, and I know your labor.

I know you're zealous. I know that you're patient, and you can't bear those that are evil. You have a heart for holiness.

You want to do what's right, and you just don't want to hang around those people that want to do evil and want to do wicked. You love God, and you want to serve God. You tried those which had a false profession.

They claimed to be apostles. They claimed that they were servants of the Lord, but you tried them, and you found out that they were liars. I mean, you're zealous, and you know your Bible.

You know the truth, and you test those that claim to be Christians or apostles or pastors or teachers, and you tried them out, and you found out they were liars. Verse 3, you have borne, and for my name's sake, what does he say there, has patience, and for my name's sake, has labored and has not fainted. You have kept borne in the fight, and you have not fainted.

You have labored. You did not give up in weariness, but you were faithful in the labor of the Lord. Wow, that sounds like a pretty good church, doesn't it? I think that sounds like a pretty good conservative church tonight.

They are concerned about right doctrine. They're concerned about holiness. They're concerned about obeying the word of God, and boy, we make sure that we got all that stuff in line and in order, and we keep the house nice and tight and close.

We don't want any frivolity around here. We're going to test these things out. We're going to try them, and we're going to keep a good ship in order, and we're going to keep all those things in proper place, and that's good.

He's commending them for it. That's what you did. That's fine.

That's wonderful. A Christian ought to be concerned about holiness. A Christian ought to be concerned about right living.

Our walk and our talk should agree. Then we come to verse 4 of this righteous, God-fearing church, and he says, but you know, nevertheless, I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Thou hast left thy first love.

I want to confess here tonight, honestly, that the Lord did a beautiful work in my life, all praise and glory to him. I was bound in the depth of fear and torment. I was going to the doctor for nerve medication when I was about 28 years old.

I didn't know if I'm going to be able to see the next day to go to work. I began to become so fearful. I couldn't face crowds.

I couldn't face people, but I thought, well, Lord, as long as I can work still at my job, I'm going to be all right. But you know what? The day came when I went to my job, and that fear got a hold of me, and it choked me, and I began to puke and carry on. That's what that fear did to me.

It gripped me, and it held me in its grip. I remember crying, getting discouraged and depressed, and going to the doctor, and he said, well, I'll give you some nerve medicine here. This should help you out, Aaron.

And I took that stuff for a little bit, but I knew that's not the answer. I knew that I needed to surrender everything to Jesus Christ. I knew that I needed to give my whole life to Christ, but there was something I was holding out on.

I didn't want to surrender everything to the lordship of Jesus Christ. I went back to the doctor a little bit later, and I said, you know, doc, this just ain't working. And my doctor was a Christian doctor, and he looked me in the eye, and he said, well, Aaron, is there sin in your life? Now, your family doctor isn't supposed to do that to you.

But I looked at him, and I said, well, uh, yeah, uh, uh. He hauled around. He said, well, that's okay.

Think about it. Take your meds. So the day came when finally, in absolute desperation, no longer able to work, sitting in the house crying, married, two children, my wife getting worried, of course, very concerned.

I was getting concerned. What am I going to do? The lord kept telling me, Aaron, surrender everything to me. I can take care of it all.

I can deliver you out of your bondage of fear. And the day came, thank God, all by myself, upstairs in our house there, in the bedroom, I fell to my knees on the floor, and I said, Lord, I surrender everything to you. Change me if you can.

And the lord touched me, and I give him all the glory. He touched me. I felt the presence of God like oil running down over my head, down over my face, down over my chest, down over my back, down over my waist, down over my legs, all the way down to my shoes, to the tip of my toes.

And I leapt up off the floor and ran down to my wife, and I told her, I said, Janice, I'm changed, I'm changed. The lord Jesus touched me. I ran up to my dad in Farmersville.

I just ran up there as fast as I could, burst in the door. I said, Pop, I'm changed. You see, Pop knew what for boy I was.

He knew what for troubled boy I was. And I kept telling him a couple years before this, you know, Pop, there's got to be more to the Christian life than I'm experiencing. I just know there's more when I read the Bible, and I see how Jesus delivered and set people free, and here I am in this bondage.

So my pop rejoiced with me, hesitatingly. He wasn't quite sure he was a hoarding Mennonite deacon. And I want to say today, my dad's now going to be with the lord at age 95, and he supported me.

He was behind me, and he was grateful to see what God did in my life. Tonight I give all the glory to Jesus. I don't know where I'd be today if it weren't that he rescued me and set me free.

But tonight the lord Jesus can do that for you. He baptized me in his love, in his grace. He touched me, he healed me, he delivered me.

I give him all the praise and glory. And his love flooded my heart and my soul. Oh, I had never experienced anything like it.

Though I was a Christian, I accepted the lord when I was 17 years old. Now I'm about 28, 29, and the lord came in and just delivered me from all the bondages and fears. And the love of Jesus Christ just washed over me.

You know, it seemed more dramatic than my new birth, really. It was amazing. I want to tell you here tonight that the lord is so gracious, as our brother David was saying, and so long-suffering, and he's waiting, he's waiting for us to just surrender everything to him, to give it all to Jesus.

You see, I couldn't speak. I was terrified of speaking. I was in terror.

I could not even speak in front of half a dozen people. I would choke up at the youth volleyball games. I would choke up, and the ball would come at me, and the fear would grip me, and I couldn't move, and the ball would hit me on the head or the shoulder or some other part of the body.

Everybody would look at me and laugh and wonder what's wrong with me. And I would have to turn around and go gagging and sometimes puking out of the game. It was awful.

It was terrible. I can't explain it to you. But I want to say here tonight the lord Jesus Christ is a mighty savior.

He's a mighty deliverer. And there's nothing that's too hard for our almighty God to deliver us from. But you know, he's waiting for us to surrender it all.

Maybe tonight your situation is very different than mine, and yours is a bondage of besetting sin that you've been trying to get rid of for years and years, and you keep trying harder and trying to do better, but you still keep failing in that besetting sin. I want to tell you here tonight, the lord Jesus Christ can deliver you from that besetting sin. He can set you free.

He can give you victory. He can give you power over that besetting sin. He can deliver you tonight and fill you with his love.

Maybe tonight you are aware that there was a time that Jesus was sweeter to me. Oh, I love to sit in his presence. I love to sit at his feet like Mary and hear the words of Jesus.

Oh, it's so delightful. And the next thing I know, an hour has passed, and I've been a sweet hour in the presence of the Lord. I want to say here tonight that after I became ordained in the ministry, I was enjoying sweet fellowship with the Lord.

I was just bathing in his presence. It was just a wonderful, wonderful experience. And after I was ordained in the ministry, that continued with me as well.

But you know what? After a while, with all that we find right here, all the labor of the ministry, and all those things to be born, and all those things to labor in, began to take a toll on me. And I began to do the work of the Lord, and began to cool off in my spirit. And the Lord so graciously convicted me, and brought me back to a place of repentance, and crying out to God, because I recognized that first love.

Oh, that love. It's not like it used to be. It's not the same.

It should be growing. It should be becoming more fervent. And I got busy doing the Lord's work, and neglecting the quiet time with my Savior.

Can anybody identify here tonight? You know, that can so easily happen to us. We get busy doing God's work, and we neglect the quiet place where the unction, and anointing, and the grace comes from to do the work. Oh, God, help us tonight.

Oh, alone with God. The world forbidding. Oh, alone with God.

Oh, blessed retreat. Alone with God to hold communion sweet. Alone with God.

Oh, I love to be alone with God. Fervent love. With all my soul, mind, and strength.

Oh, he's calling to us tonight. Remember. Remember from whence thou art fallen, and repent.

You know, this is a very personal thing. It's pretty hard for Jerry to see how fervent and close your relationship is with Jesus. But you know, it's easy to see when one commits a sin that is outward and evident And you know, we tend to categorize sins.

You know, whoa, it would be terrible, awful if somebody committed adultery. Oh, absolutely. It would.

It would be horrible. But you know what? In the scriptures it tells us if any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be anathema. That means let him be cursed.

And the first commandment is what? Love the Lord your God with all your being. Heart, mind, soul, and strength. Hey, that's a pretty good church standard to have, Brother Jerry.

Let's write that down as one of our statements of practice. One of our statements of practice is that we're to love God with all of our heart. Hey, how about we write down the second one? And the second one is to love your neighbor as yourself.

To love your brother, your sister right next to you like you love yourself. Hey, how about we do that? Jesus said on these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. Wow.

You know, that's pretty simplified, isn't it? Hey, we need those two church standards. And we'll be in right relationship with God, and we'll be in right relationship with each other. Praise God.

Well, I see the time is rapidly passing. We'll touch on just a few others here. Very sobering.

These are words of Jesus. Not everyone that says to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven, but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many, many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? In thy name have cast out devils, and in thy name done wonderful works, many wonderful works.

Then will I profess unto them, I never knew you. Depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Oh, the dread that would flood a soul to hear those words coming from the lips of the Lord Jesus.

Depart from me. I will spew thee out of my mouth. There were ten virgins.

Five were wise, five were foolish. The foolish didn't have enough oil. While they were waiting for Jesus to come, they were waiting for the bride group to come.

And they that were ready went into the marriage, and the door was shut. And afterward came those other foolish virgins who were fritting away their time. What were they doing before they went to wait for the bride groom? They were concerned about more oil.

They were having a good time. Who knows what all they were doing. But the Bible tells us they were foolish because they were not investing in the value system of heaven and having their vessels full of oil.

And you can call that oil whatever you want here tonight. Maybe I'll just say we'll call it a fervent love for Jesus, that is obedient to Him. Because Jesus said, if you're obedient to Me in John 15, I will manifest Myself to you, and My Father and I will come, and we'll make our abode with you, and you're going to be filled with My Spirit.

Oh, yes. But you know what? They had other things to do. They were more concerned about some other things than investing in the kingdom of heaven and making sure that their lamps and their vessels are full of oil.

How about you and I tonight? Are our vessels filled with oil? Are we investing in the bank of heaven? Well, then they came, and they began to knock on the door, Lord, Lord, open to us. But He answered and said, I know you not. Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour, wherein the Son of Man cometh.

Luke 13, 23, a person came to Jesus and said, Lord, are there few that be saved? And Jesus said to them, strive to enter in at the straight gate. Get serious about your Christian life. I mean, act as if your life depends on it, because it does.

I mean, get serious with God. Strive. Put forth effort.

Put forth labor. Press into the kingdom. The kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.

I don't believe anybody's going to be in heaven who just sat back on their knees and said, well, if God wants to save me, He can. Do you think anybody will go to heaven on that? God is the almighty judge. He knows all of our hearts.

But according to Scripture, what Jesus taught, it doesn't appear very much that way. Rather, He says, strive to enter in, because He says many will seek to enter in and shall not be able once when the master of the house has risen and shut the door. Once the door is shut, oh, then we're getting serious.

Oh, now we want to quick get ready. Like those virgins, we want to quick go buy some oil. We want to quick get some godliness now.

Quick go get some holiness now. Quick go get some righteousness now. But the door's shut.

The door is shut. And ye begin to stand without and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us. And He shall answer and say unto you, I know ye not whence ye are.

And then ye shall begin to say, now listen carefully to this. Then shall ye begin to say, we have eaten and drunk in your presence. And Jesus, you taught in our streets, these are not the druggies.

These are not the God-denying atheists speaking out against God. These are churchgoers. We went to church.

We sat and heard the sermons. And we took communion. We ate and we drank and broke bread together with other believers.

Lord, Lord, surely we were in your presence. I mean, we enjoyed the singing. We felt good in your presence.

But He'll say, I know not whence ye are. Depart from me, ye workers of iniquity. And there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth when ye see Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God and you yourselves thrust out.

I tell you what. I can't imagine anything worse. I can't imagine anything more of a greater tragedy than to think I was saved because I went to church and did all these things and come to the judgment of God, of Christ.

And He says, I don't know you. Depart from me. And He thrusts you out.

And He says, there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. I will spew thee out. Well, I think I will pass over the other scriptures I had and we'll bring this to a close with going back to Revelation 3. Revelation 3. Verse 14.

And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write, These things saith the Amen, the faithful and the true witness, the beginning of the creation of God. I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot. I would that thou were cold or hot.

So then because thou art lukewarm and neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of my mouth. Nathan, try the Mountain Dew. Is it cold? Not as cold as it was.

Getting toward lukewarm a little bit more? Yeah, not the fizz. Oh, and the fizz went out of it. It just doesn't have quite the kick anymore, the zest anymore.

Hey, thank you, Nathan. You may be seated. I ask us tonight, as Jesus looks at my life, as Jesus looks into deep the depth of your life and your heart, is he finding a fervent love? Is he finding the fizz? Is he finding the fire of the heat of the hot coffee? Is he finding your life a fragrance and an aroma and a pleasing sense and delight to him? Is the fragrance of Christ coming out of your life, the life of obedience and surrender and love of Jesus Christ coming out of your life, that it's a sweet fragrance before the throne of God? Tonight, he gives us a beautiful invitation.

Verse 18. I counsel thee to buy of me gold which I have tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear, and anoint thine eyes with eyes that thou mayest see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten.

Besell us, therefore, and repent. You know, tonight it would be a very loving thing if somebody's on their way to hell. They're lukewarm and they're in deception.

They don't know that they're miserable and blind and naked. They think they're doing okay. But in the eyes of God, they're lukewarm.

They're blind. They're naked. It would be a merciful thing for God tonight to bring Holy Spirit conviction to a heart that is lukewarm here tonight and bring Holy Ghost conviction and bring a rebuke and bring chastening.

It's a loving thing for God to do that rather than let us be castaways. It's a loving thing for God to show us our sin and bring conviction. Behold, I stand at the door and I knock.

That's pretty quiet. Behold, I stand at the door and I knock. Is God knocking on your heart's door tonight? A way you can tell is if there is an uneasiness in your heart and there's an unsettledness in your spirit and you realize something's not right.

You know, that happens to me still. Just today that happened to me. I was studying, praying, preparing and all at once I just felt sort of an uneasiness and I said, Lord, what is it? And I began to pray and ask God to please show me.

I said, Lord, if somehow I am missing your Holy Spirit leading in what you want to say here in the meeting tonight or anything in my life, if there's any sin in my life, Lord, please show me, convict me, Lord. And as I waited upon the Lord and began to just wait on the Lord and commune and talk with God, all at once I began to realize it was all confusion. There was nothing black and white clear.

So the Lord began to prompt me, Aaron, pray in Jesus' name, resist the devil and he shall flee from you. I said, thank you, Jesus. And I began to pray in the name of Jesus, Lord, bring conviction to my heart, show me sin in my life, show me if I'm going the wrong way in any area, but Lord, if my heart is clear in the name of Jesus, I rebuke the devil and I believe your word that he shall flee from me.

And heaven opened up. You know, sometimes we just have to take the scriptures, we have to take the promises of God and the word of God, and we have to apply them in our lives. But brother, sister, we need to be humble and we need to be yielded and broken.

We don't want to be rebuking the devil when God is bringing conviction. No, I say, well, that's just, you know. No, we need to be very wise in these things and very humble and very open and honest in our hearts.

Well, tonight behold I stand at the door and knock. If any man hear my voice and open the door. You see, God isn't going to take a battering ram and ram the door open.

He says, you open the door. I'm there waiting and knocking. You open the door and let the glorious light of the gospel come in and expose all the darkness and cleanse all the sin.

Oh yes, he wants to do that for us here tonight. I will come in and then you're going to find something else very beautiful. He says, I will sup with him and he with me.

We're going to have that communion that Jude talks about, the communion and fellowship in the Holy Ghost, praying in the Holy Ghost and we'll have that fellowship with Christ. Him supping with us, him dining with us. Oh, it's beautiful tonight.

He that hath an ear let him hear what the Spirit is saying. Tonight, if you hear his voice, harden not your heart but come unto Jesus with a good and an honest heart and surrender all to Jesus and find rich treasures, the real gold, the real isab, the real clothing, being clothed in Christ, in the righteousness of Christ, having fellowship with Christ.
