Come Ye To The Waters, Sunday, August 15, 2004 Father in Heaven, we are so thankful for YOUR consistency in keeping us, YOUR mighty wonders beyond our imagination, that peace that comes down so far, but so fresh, from Heaven's shore to this Earth we live in. And Father, [we are thankful] for YOUR great presence that addresses us every day, YOUR leadership that is so *WONDERFUL*, YOUR glory that covers us when darkness is around us. When there is fear in the twilight, YOU are there with us! Father, when it seems like there is no joy, no peace, YOU come within us and fill us and thrill us with THY glories, THY wonders, THY blessings from on high. And Father, YOU are so wonderful to behold, so glorious! Father I don't know why YOU take time to commune with someone like me, all of us Father God. We are without hope without YOU, Lord God; we are without reason. We are set for a devil's Hell, without YOU. And Lord God, YOU liberated us by the precious gift of YOUR only Son, that YOU sent Him as that sinless offering, that was given on that cruel cross, that would devour YOUR special gift. HIS life would be taken from HIM. And HIS blood would be spilled for the atonement of our sins. And the chastisement upon HIS back, the stripes for our healing; all those many splendors that come through the giving of your Son. And the Son giving HIMSELF for mankind. YOUR Son paying that wonderful price, that debt that HE did not owe, a debt that we could not pay. And YOU freely give it, that we might live. And then YOU went beyond that! YOU set the captive free. YOU put boundaries on the enemy. And YOU gave us *POWER* over him in the wonderful NAME of JESUS! And YOU gave us *VICTORY* through YOUR presence. And YOU said that YOU left us that YOU would endue us with power from on high. And YOU told YOUR wonderful disciples to endure, and to remain until they were endued with power from on high. And how they was filled with that glorious Holy Ghost, that is so real, so special. And YOUR word declares, and Lord YOU said it was needful for YOU to go away. For if YOU went away YOU would send forth the Comforter. And if HE [JESUS] did not go away, HE [the Comforter, the Holy Ghost] could not come. But if YOU went away HE would come! And HE would live in the hearts of YOUR people. And Father God we thank YOU for the power of God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Ghost; and for all of your angels that are ministering spirits sent forth to minister for the saints. And Lord God we sense the Presence here, of the Three In One. We sense the presence of YOUR holy angels, an orchestra here in the vast blessings of this blessed place. Father, we pray that YOU will send forth your *GLORY*! Father, we come against principalities, against powers, against rulers of darkness, against spiritual wickedness in high places. And YOU will destroy them at will. And Father God we give them unto YOU this day, that YOU destroy their ability! Cripple those powers! Cripple them! Enable them to *NEVER* go in the streets *NO* *LONGER* around this country. Put them in the sea of forgetfulness, Father God! And Father, we pray for the devouring, by the anointing here, to touch, MOVE OUT the remainder of the problems in our lives. And Father we pray for the moving of YOUR mighty Spirit here today, in a powerful and a very glorious way. [Suddenly the Holy Ghost breaks into the prayer and begins to speak back to us. It is so fast that the last word in the prayer above is run over by the first word of prophecy. The prayer was slow, but the prophecy began with speed.] And yea, MY people, I the Lord thy God am here in a mighty way. I AM here to shelter thee MY ones! I say, no one can understand what thou knowest, unless they come into MY covenant. For I have offered MY beloved, in these last days, that I would guide them with MY all-seeing eye. I have offered that I would protect them, move with them, about them, in them. And I should give them a comfort from Heaven. And I should testify of Myself to MY ones, through MY Spirit, saith the Spirit of God. And I would identify Myself with these ones. And I will move *MIGHTILY* to those that will call upon MY Name, those that will take time and pray, those that will come into MY sanctuary, I the Lord thy God shall pass MY blessings upon those ones! And they shall disturb the waters of Satan. And they shall disturb his character upon this Land. And I say, many, many he has got will be let free, because of the power that is in MY people, through the anointing of MY Spirit, through the power of the Holy Ghost from Heaven. And I shall enable them to go forth and do a work that I the Lord thy God *CAN* *DO*, but I will not do. I choose to use men, boys and girls, men and women, to move with MY Spirit that they will no longer fulfill the lusts of the flesh, but they would walk this day by the Spirit from Heaven, that they would walk as the King of Kings, the Lord of Glory! And they would be suited up, commanded by Jesus Christ the Righteous! Jesus Christ the Righteous will command forth that blessing! And I say this day, I AM bringing back *PEACE* upon this Earth! But, before that peace comes there is going to be problems. And there is going to be problems in this Land that thou livest in. I say there will be whoredoms of wrong doing. And I say there shall be famines! There shall be pestilence. There will be things that man has not seen before, saith the Spirit of God! And there shall be **MUCH** fires, much problems. There will be much unseasoned weather. But I the Lord thy God say, be not weary in well doing, for if thou shall stay faithful, before that Day, thou shall be removed. That Day is on the horizon. And it is very shortly going to come to pass, for I AM calling back MY beloved to that time of the way of peace. And I say, it will be a *WONDERFUL* Day, saith the Spirit of God! There will be a ***MIGHTY*** Day, saith the Spirit of God! There will be a ***GLORIOUS*** Day. It is a Day that has been prepared for ***YEARS***, upon ***YEARS***, upon ***YEARS***, saith the Spirit of God! And I AM looking for that Day, saith the Spirit of God! I have a people, a remnant that has been pleasing to MY eye, saith the Spirit of God! And I AM going to bless them! And I AM going to anoint them. And they shall be the bride of MY Son! And there shall be a feast! There shall be a Holiday above holidays, a Time above all times! And I say that Day is very short [soon], saith the Spirit of God! And I say, for that reason the enemy is very angry! He is doing his *BEST* to remove MY beloved. But I say I AM telling MY beloved that they *MUST* call upon ME. They must WORK OUT, every day, believing that I the Lord thy God chose them for that Day. They must take one day at a time, walking in victory, day by day. They must encourage themselves. And they must stand faithful, day by day, because if you give him [Satan] one inch, he will take a mile, saith the Spirit of God!! Thou must **NOT** be fooled by his trickery! He has deceived ***MANY***!!! And I say, this last day he is going to deceive MANY! But MY people must walk in MY Spirit, that they would no longer fulfill the lusts of the flesh! For I say many are willing. But I say, the flesh is weak! And I say, many of MY saints, this day, that have known ME, have fallen back. And I say, MY heart yearns for these, because they are *NOT* where they once was, saith the Spirit of God! And I say, if I should come through the clouds of glory this day, **MANY** would not be ready! For I AM calling those to be a prepared people, because I say, they will *NOT* see death, as natural death. But I say, MY people must die out NOW, to the spirit of life itself. They must give themselves to ME, and with that, and come unto ME; **BOLDLY** accept ME, [and] I the Lord thy God shall come in their bosom. And I shall *BLESS* them abundantly. And I shall guard them. And I shall cherish them! And I shall give them insight on the things that are going to come to pass. And I shall bless them. I shall encourage them. And MY joy shall be their strength! And I shall live with them! And I shall live about them, until they remain, until that Day that I take them home. I shall ***KEEP*** them in the secret place of the Most High, that they will NOT be afraid. I have not given them the spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind! And I shall **KEEP** MY beloved, that [if] they can retain this in their heart, what I have spoken to them, and believe it, I shall receive them, saith the Spirit of God. [The prophetic word subsides and the sermon begins.] Oh hallelujah! God is wonderful! HE is *GLORIOUS*!! HE is *POWERFUL*! HE could cast us down until we couldn't breath. Yesterday I had to tell HIM HE was going to have to...I could not take it! I felt like I was going to have a heart attack! God was coming down so wonderfully! But my body is not equipped to take God!!! God understands this! But God is here to *BLESS* you! HE is here to encourage you! There is a bad, old fellow out there that wants your's and my soul! He wants us to go with him, to live with him, to the ends of time, with him. And I don't want to go that way! And I don't want any one of you, here, to think about going that way! God has given us a reason to serve HIM. And that is to come all the way "...out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty." [2 Corinthians 6:16-18] If God is going to be a Father unto us, a father takes care of family! Get *THAT* into your spirit here today! God **WILL** take care of HIS children! HE **WILL** provide for you! HE **WILL** **KEEP* you through the hour of temptation! Look up Revelation three and ten! [Here is that verse for your convenience: "Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth." [Revelation 3:10]] God will keep you through that Time of temptation! God is going to deliver you, when the enemy comes in fiercely. And when the Anti-christ comes forth, you **SHALL** be **GONE**!! God is coming back through the clouds of glory. It **IS** scheduled! God told me today to **TELL** you to be of good cheer, that HE has already... The time has been destinated when we are going to meet HIM on those wonderful places. There is not much longer!! Hang on, beloved! Hang on!! God is coming through the clouds of **GLORY**!! Don't surrender! Don't give up! You look to "...Jesus the author and finisher...," [Hebrews 12:2] the keeper of our soul. Where HIS spirit is there is LIBERTY! [See 2nd Corinthians 3:17] Where HIS Spirit is there is power! Where HIS Spirit is *THERE* *IS* *ANOINTING*! God spoke to me this week. All week HE has spoken to me. And HE says, "Many of MY churches have no anointing. And because they have no anointing, nobody is getting delivered!" HE says, "MY [God's] preaching will deliver people itself, without even laying hands on them!" God says, "When I come in, you won't have to lay hands on no one! It will be *MY* *GLORY*!! It will be MY responsibility! They will be automatically delivered!" I'm going to see great deliverance! I believe that "If God be for us, who can be against us?" [Romans 8:31b] I don't have to touch nothing! God does it ALL! I'm just a messenger boy! I'm the lowest of all! But God uses me as a mouth piece for HIM! And I want you to know that I am nothing!! You are head and shoulders above me! God wants to restore every one of us! HE wants to bring us into the Holy of Holies as a holy sacrifice! "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a **LIVING** sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service." [Romans 12:1] "...*BE* *NOT* *CONFORMED* to this world..." [Romans 12:2a] That is where the problem has laid. We are trying to conform to this world of sin! We *DON'T* fit in it! And you sure can't have an experience with the Lord and live with it [the world]. You have *GOT* to go God's way! HE has said, "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls." [Matthew 11:28-29] And God will give us peace! Where HIS peace is there is blessing! "...my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." [John 14:27b] "In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, **THERE** *YE* *MAY* *BE* *ALSO*." [John 14:2-3] [Now a prophecy begins] Yea, I the Lord thy God have chosen this day, that thou would walk **HIGHER** than what the world walks! And *DO* *NOT* take it as gloating over those round about thee! But *TAKE* *IT* as being *CALLED*, that thou might *FEEL* for the lowly, that thou might have *COMPASSION* on those that are without *ME*, that thou would be *SYMPATHETIC* to those that are going through trials, that thou would *PRAY* the prayer of *FAITH*, that they might be drawn from the fire of iniquity that they find themselves in. MY people, come unto ME, and I the Lord thy God, through thy prayers, if thou shall walk in holiness, through thy prayers thou shall deliver *MANY*, saith the Spirit of God! But I say, MY people are *NOT* walking in holiness! For this reason I cannot choose to use them to be the one to bring deliverance. So MY people are *NOT* getting delivered, saith the Spirit of God! [The prophecy ends and the anointing for preaching continues.] God is here in a wonderful way!! HE brings peace like a mighty river! But God spoke to my heart, also the other day, oh hallelujah, that we must be prepared to be **READY**! It was like I heard a voice from Heaven. And they was like having a meeting up there. And I heard the voices say, "The people are *NOT* *READY* on Earth!" And there was another message that said, "MY people need to be **TOLD** that they need to be *READY*!" And that preparation is *EVERY* *DAY*!! You are *NOT* going to make it unless you are READY day by day! You must take heed to God, and take heed to cleanse yourself every day. The first thing, when you get up, you should pray and say, "Lord, I want YOU to deliver me today from the pathway of sin! I want YOU to keep me in the hallow of THY mighty hand! I come against *ALL* powers, *All* darkness that come against me. I'm YOUR child! I'm YOUR son. I'm YOUR daughter (whatever). And I will *NOT* move. I want YOU! I need YOU this day! I need YOU to send me the power of the Holy Ghost with me, upon me and over me. And I would pray that YOU would shelter me with THY mighty protection!" As we pray these things into existence, God sends deliverance! We need to start praying this day, day by day, or we are going to be **WEAK**!! We are going to be slipped out! The enemy is too strong! He is stronger than what many have **THOUGHT**!! He is *STRONG*!! He never stops! He is angry! I don't want to meet him! I met him [the enemy] one time. I don't want to meet him no more! He knew all about me! But I met him in a setting one time. I was in this church setting. They was eating. And I seen this great big, old, blue snake crawling up and come to me, RIGHT, STRAIGHT TO ME! And he just laughed at me, sneered at me! [The snake said,] "Who do you think you are!??" I said, "I'm God's son." He said, "Ah, you're *NOT*!! Look at all these people here! They are church goers! They allow me to just room with them! Won't you let me do that? And if you do I'll give you power!" I said, "No! I resist you in the Name of Jesus! I rebuke you, Satan, and your powers! And I rebuke you in the Name of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost!" And he [that blue snake] exploded! But the people that was there was very *ANGRY*!! And they came to me, "We wish you to leave, because you killed our pet!!!" This is the truth! I shutter, but God has told me today that I must tell you some of these things! *THAT IS THE TRUTH!* We allow the enemy, some of the time, to come into our quarters. We don't live in a house with a pig, where we're sleeping with pigs all the time! All of them are corrupt, because they are *NOT* meant to sleep with! **WE CAN'T SLEEP WITH SIN!!** We have got to "...come out from among them,..." [2nd Corinthians 6:17] We have got to draw the line! We have got to draw the line: *I* *AM* *GOING* *GOD'S* *WAY*!! I've never tried this before, preaching within two or three hours two sermons. And I was very weak. But I am *NOT* weak now! Glory to God! God controls all of the Heavenlies! HE is faithful! "There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but *GOD* *IS* *FAITHFUL*, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, *THAT* *YE* *MAY* *BE* *ABLE* *TO* *BEAR* *IT*." [1st Corinthians 10:13] God is **FOREVER** faithful!! HE was so faithful this morning, the Sun came up! The Moon and all the things are *WORKING*!! God is faithful!! But one of these days HE is going to choose that there is going to be a collision of mighty stars! But before that happens, God spoke to my heart. HE woke me up at four o'clock this morning. I haven't been asleep since. HE told me to tell HIS people this glorious thing, that HE wishes for those that are full of the Holy Ghost, that they will shine like stars **BEFORE** HE comes after us! So that is very shortly! HE wants the **GLORY** to shine on HIS beloved, to address such to the enemy saying, "This is MY beloved! This is what MY Son was on that cross for, that I would have a chosen people, that I would have a dedicated people, that they would come in the last hour, with all the powers of darkness coming against them." And every where you go, all the smut, all the sin, all the degradation. You cannot go anywhere, but see the acts of Satan! And that *DOES* *NOT* *MOVE* *YOU*! IT CANNOT MOVE YOU! "For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature,..." **I** **LOVE** **OUT** THERE**!! "...shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." [Romans 8:38-39] That's the Lord speaking, not Brother [Freedom]. I'm speaking what God is speaking! They were more than conquerors through [him that loved us]. That's *YOU*! That's *YOU*! Would you want to live in Hell?? I don't choose to! I don't want to live in that place! I have lived in Korea [during the the Korean War], almost a year. And I thought it was almost that way! But there is a problem, that many of us have lived in luxury in America. In Job it says we have lived in money [See Job 21:13]. We've lived in "wealth" it says! But it says, "in a moment" we die and go to the grave. And everybody understands that. We all go to funerals. But the Bible says, "And as it is appointed unto men once to die,..." and women, all of us, me, you. But then comes "the judgment." [See Hebrews 9:27] It is "appointed unto" us! There is one appointment that YOU ARE GOING TO KEEP, I'm going to keep. And if we don't go God's way, we come that way in a harshness. [But] many, as I read the Word of God, we are not going to even be judged, basically, the Bride of Christ. It is going to be the most glorious time that has ever been. But you *HAVE* *GOT* *TO* *LIVE* *FOR* *IT*!! You have *GOT* *TO* *WANT* *IT*!! God is not going to give you something that is easy! You wouldn't want it, if it was easy! It is a hard task! Yes it is! And, if no one likes it, or not, it is coming by the Spirit of God! That is The Force [behind it] that is going to be used. [Brother Freedom is speaking about how those who are translated from the Earth to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb are not going to see physical death and will not face the judgment that the rest of mankind will face.] [The Force behind it is the Holy Spirit,] and that is why God is using me the way HE is, because I stood up for that Spirit, that Holy Ghost from Heaven. And HE [the Holy Ghost] is *IT*! HE is **POWER**! HE is **SHELTER**! HE is *PROTECTION*!! HE is HEALING! HE is what God chose in this last hour!! And when HE [the Holy Ghost] leaves, it will be a terrible place, if you are left living here! This place has been a place of sloppiness. And we are coming out, out of this pig pen!! Glory to God! [Another prophetic word pours forth.] If I, the Lord thy God can build a world, why can I not keep thee, saith the Spirit of God?? Oh wayward men, I will **KEEP** thee. I have spoken to thee! And I AM here this day to come into thy mind, that I AM here to save thee, to move upon thee as I only can. I AM here to deliver these ones! I AM **able**!! I AM ***ABLE***! But the Spirit of God would say, it breaks MY heart when MY people won't come, when I have loved them so much! They deny ME! But I AM here to send them a message that I **LOVE** them! And I want them to come MY way! But I say, if they keep going on, there will be a Day that is determined, a Day when no man can change the direction. And I say when the time to cross the hands, saith the Spirit of God, when the Word goes to Israel; and I say there will be so many things that will be changing at that time. It will be too late for many, many, many! I say, they will wish that they had come to the Lord their God. They will cry! They will lament! And they will have pain! They will have tears! And I say, they will cry out in anguish. And I say, I will not hear their pain! I will not hear them, because I have spoken **CLEARLY** to them, to **COME** to ME, and I shall sustain thee. And I shall *FORGIVE* thee! And I shall **HEAL** thee! And I shall give thee a new heart, a new direction. And I shall give thee a new home, as MY friend. And I will ***KEEP*** thee forevermore, saith the Spirit of God. [The prophetic word ends.] God wants us to arise. There is problems around about us. We are all God has! Many, many people will not come to where you are! Many people laugh at what is going on here. [Some] have disowned me, basically! But I will tell you, God told me a long time ago, "Son, you are saner than most people!" If they think I'm crazy, praise God! That is between them and God. You know, I don't judge no man! That is God's department! But I can speak the oracles of God. I can speak the will of God. And I want to try and do it through the *SPIRIT* of God! So that way I am *NEVER* in trouble. I don't have to wonder what I said! I don't have to debate, "Did I do right?" This morning [when he preached in another place] I knew that I did the will of God! And tonight I know that I am going to do the will of God. If God should take me home today, *I am *READY*! But I believe this Word! I'm like the Apostle Paul, I believe there is time that God wants to stir up the gifts! God wants to stir up the wealth of Heaven! God wants to bring us *LIBERTY*! HE wants to take us out of this bondage, this junk that has controlled our meetings! There is no effort! God has to break through the powers of darkness just to come into a meeting like this! There is no effort! The congregation is not broke through enough to lift *UP* the load! But God wants this to start taking place! HE wants you to address it as your problem, God's problem in you for HIS people. God wants you delivered! Don't look so stern at me! I love you! God loves you! But God uses tools! And you are the tools. It says, "...we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen:..." [2nd Corinthians 4:18a] If I look at the things that are seen, I would see, like most people see, a bunch of people walking around. But God has visited my heart! And I know that what I see [with my physical eye] isn't really reality. Everything that I see, including this building, our cars, our conveyances, our homes, our roads will one day fall apart! If God doesn't come they rust away. They fall apart! Things don't last. But what we do for Christ *LASTS*!! What we do in the Spirit lasts! It goes on into the eons! There is power and strength through the Word. "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee." [Isaiah 26:3] "...come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you...!" [2 Corinthians 6:17] "Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it." [Matthew 7:13-14] "...what agreement hath the temple of God with idols?" [2 Corinthians 6:16a] There is no agreement for us!! Unions arbitrate. Unions arbitrate for the men that they have, until they get a new agreement. But God is saying that there is no agreement that has been given for us [with the dark powers]! There is **NO** agreement!! God has given us the plan right here [in the Bible]. It is in our hands! It is in our heart! The joy of the Lord is my strength! [See Nehemiah 8:10b] That [the joy] is HIS blessing! God is here to erect us in the image of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost! And I'm going to read something in Peter that is very special: "According as his divine power..." That's God's power! "...hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of ***HIM*** that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature,..." That's the Nature of God! "...having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust." [2nd Peter 1:3-4] God is allowing you to escape this corruption, oh man, oh woman. God wants us to take away that corruption that has been set to steal our lives out of the hands of God! God wants to take it [the corruption] **FROM** us! HE wants it to no longer have a grip on us, no power over us, that we are vacated from that corruption. "And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; And to knowledge temperance;..." Temperance is self-control. "... and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be *BARREN* nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ." [2ne Peter 1:5-8] **THIS IS THE WORD OF GOD**!! We should love this Word! We should LOVE IT! We should *WANT* it! Oh, hallelujah! "But he that lacketh these things is blind,..." If we lack these [things mentioned above] we are **BLIND**!! The Word says it! We are blind! "...and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins." [2nd Peter 1:9] "And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, --->the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:" [Ephesians 2:1-2] And it goes on "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." [Ephesians 2:8-9] That is in the second chapter of Ephesians. But now it says, "For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you *ABUNDANTLY* into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ." [2nd Peter 1:11] What a *WONDERFUL* Saviour! What a powerful Word! Hallelujah! Glory to God! "Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished." [2nd Peter 3:3-6] *THINK* *ABOUT* *IT*!! He is talking about the day of Noah, that flood that Noah preached about, that only eight survived! And the Bible says, "But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be." [Matthew 24:37] But I am here today to beg each one: *IT* *IS* *SERIOUS*! I heard a man the other day, and I concur with him. He said, "America is burning down!" He said, "When something is burning down,..." And America *IS* burning down! He said, "Go and put the fire out!" That should be number one! And that is right! That is right! We should put the fire out! And that takes taking heed. We don't sit here very long and we are going to be consumed by the heat of the enemy. I'm here warning you. But I can only go so far! That is between you and God! I pray that God will come down in your hearts and lives and touch each one of you, from the very crown of your head to the very sole of your feet, that you might walk upright before God, in the image of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost. "But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire *AGAINST* *THE* *DAY* *OF* *JUDGMENT* and perdition of ungodly men." [2nd Peter 3:7] That DAY is about to arrive! God is coming through the clouds of Glory. And it is on schedule! But we don't know the hour! But we do know, HE says, "...Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?" [Luke 18:8b] When he returns will HE find grace on His people? Will HE find love? We find people that are self centered, want their own ways. And the Lord spoke to me this morning, that the little things will get us into Heaven, *THE* *LITTLE* *THINGS*! We don't think about that when we have to have our own way! That is NOT the will of God! When I am puffed up, when I get upset, somebody don't treat me just right. But when I get my own way everything is all right. It's only until I have my own way. But we need to grow up. God wants to *BREAK* us of our habits, of our things that have caused us to lose out **WITH** **HIM**! HE has a blessing for us! The enemy keeps loading [negative stuff] on us, load after load! And we sit there and say, "Oh, I'm getting drowned!" And we feel absent from the presence of God! We **SHOULD**! We **SHOULD** say, "Get out of my life, old buddy!!" Just this morning I was real sick. I said, "Satan! You get out of my life! I come against you in the Name of Jesus! And I come in the power of God! I am God's property! You don't own anything about me! I've been set free by the power of God, through the power of salvation, to the Jew first, also to the Greek. And I've given my heart to the Lord Jesus Christ! I confessed HIM before my Heavenly Father. And I've been a new creation, made from Heaven! And I want you to get out of my life, forevermore!" And pretty soon it started getting **BETTER**!! God is *REAL*!! Be ye strong in the Lord!! I don't mean that you just get out here and tell people to be strong! You have got to take authority! Many times Satan don't look at you. You are not where you should be! Don't try ordering him around until you *CAN'T* *BE* moved! Because you are going to get in big, *BIG* trouble! The church has so many, many people that have proclaimed that they are so powerful. But yet, they cannot come against the Devil! Why??? Because there is sin in the camp! There is UN-confessed things, little foxes, problems that we tend to *WANT*, things that seduce us, that bring forth [darkness]. We lose our victory, that we are walking in self! And we go to the altar and we sit down. We have *NEVER* learned to pray through! The only way that you will ever get what you want with God, you have got to come down and pray, and pray, until you *PRAY* *THROUGH*! Not many people know it. But that is what you have got to do! That is God's plan! And it **WORKS**!! It will save you! It will keep you filled with the presence of God. It takes **EFFORT** to live for God! It takes *A* *MAN*, *A* *WOMAN*, to have backbone, to live for God! It is *NOT* an easy life! It is *NOT* for sissies! It is for achievers, and for those that want to have a home in Heaven, those that are *SELFISH* for God! And I'm selfish for God! I don't want that old booger [the Devil] no longer! I want to have everlasting life! I want to have the purity. Just to feel the anointing, to me, is vundabar [wonderful]!! Glory! Wonderful! It is beyond description! There is a peace that passes all understanding! But I would like to finish the last part of this, because it is *VERY* sobering! "The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up." [2nd Peter 3:9-10] That is *PRESENT* Earth! "Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, *WHAT*..." It gives a question! "...what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth *RIGHTEOUSNESS*." [2nd Peter 2:11-13] God has a **PLAN**!! I'm here to encourage you today! But I think I am going to shut it off right now! If ***GOD*** be for you **WHO** can be against you? [See Romans 8:31] We need to get it by faith!! *WALK* *IN* *FAITH*! If you can't feel it, walk in *FAITH*!! I'm going to walk with *FAITH*! That means I believe what I hear [from God]. What I hear, I receive it. I'm going to stand in faith believing! I know what *HE* is saying is true! You don't have to really feel it! You got to **BELIEVE**, that if God be God! HE **IS** going to *DO* *IT*!! It is *HIS* will. You don't get it until you do ***HIS*** will!! Then he sends forth the unction, to triumph in God! You try and HE gives the umph! There is victory as you spend time at that altar. There is victory after you spend time and say, "Lord, I cast all my cares upon YOU, because you care for me. [See 1st Peter 5:7] We have to take time to pray! We must abstain from *ALL* appearance of evil. There are some commands that God has given us. They are *NOT* grevious. They shouldn't be grevious to us. But they should be a plan that we can say, "Oh, Lord, I'm so thankful that you give me these *GREAT* Words, because I would be a reprobate if it hadn't been for *YOU*! I would have been an outcast. And I don't want to be a reprobate! I don't want to be an outcast! I want to have the visitation of eternal life! I want the possibility, Father God, that I might be one of YOUR beloved!" That should be in our heart! If it is not there, let's everybody go home, because that is the bottom line! God **BLESS** you! I **LOVE** you! I pray that God will minister HIS love to you, as only HE can. But there is *VICTORY* and *JOY* in the LORD! God has been speaking to me, tremendous things! But HE has told me, just like I've been hearing out of Heaven, "MY people are *NOT* ready! MY churches are *NOT* ready!" If *HE* should come through the clouds of glory, would many be saved?? I sometimes say, "What I need." We ***NEED*** the fellowship of and support of one another! Any nation cannot stand by itself. It needs the cooperation of others! That's what makes strong nations, what makes strong people, that they live together in one cause. That church of Jesus Christ should live together in one cause. And it ***WILL*** through the Spirit of God!! God bless you all! I love you!!
