(Audio Sermon Clip) God Is Jealous for You

James asks in chapter 4 verse 5, Do ye think that the scriptures sayeth in vain that spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? Do you think that the scriptures sayeth in vain that the Holy Spirit, the Holy Ghost that God has put in you is jealous? Do you think God says that in vain in the book? The Holy Spirit that God has put in you is jealous? He's jealous! In chapter 1 verse 27 he says, Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, to visit the Fatherless and widows in their affliction and to keep himself unspotted from the world. Oh, God is jealous of us. God is jealous of us and to those of us who have not kept ourselves unspotted from the world. James cries out in chapter 4 verse 4, Ye adulterers and adulteresses! Know ye not that the center of the world is enmity with God? You become unfaithful to God! Or do you sit there tonight and your peace with God has become spotted by the world? Your testimony has become spotted. Oh, the devil enticed you as he saw you there when you were vitally real. He trembled, he trembled. Do you remember when you were real? Do you remember when you were real? When you did more damage to Satan than a man with degrees behind his name because all that he knew was all up here, not yet. The little you had was here and every step you took you did more damage to Satan. He trembled, he saw what you were dreaming for the kingdom. Reality is all that matters in this religion, sir. Reality and Satan tremble. Do you remember when you were real? Do you remember? When your quiet time was real. Can every one of you please remember when nothing would keep you from prayer? Nothing would keep you from the Bible, no television, nothing. Not even church activity. Nothing would keep you from God. Nothing would make you neglect God. Do you remember when you were real? Do you remember when you used to take the pen, sir? God remembers. God remembers. Do you remember when you used to mock? Oh, you used to mock and put the date. Isn't this coincidence? God speaking to me. This book becomes a living miracle. God speaking to me. You mocked and you mocked. All the verses they burn into your soul and you become conscious of God. God communing with me. God literally speaking. It's living. And suddenly you look back and you realize every single verse you've mocked on the whole page. The whole Bible, everything was swapping. Do you remember when you were real with God? Do you remember? Do you remember? God remembers. God remembers. He's jealous. You are the apple of God's eye. You're the treasure of this God of mine. You filled heaven with such joy that if you just knew, all of us would burst into worship, joining them at what is happening right now in the heart of God and the angels. Don't doubt that. You're so much to God. Go now in the love of Christ and never let it happen again. He gives you the grace. He'll give you all the grace you need to walk with God through this world to your last death. If you never neglect the quiet time now, that's going to guard what you found here again tonight. The devil won't ever be able to take this away from you if you never neglect the quiet time. The quiet time?
