Christ be glorified be glorified tonight
amen in Mark the 5th chapter Jesus
demonstrated his power over death and
the devil you see him cast the Legion of
demons out of the gadan who had lived
among the tombs in the same chapter he
raises the daughter of jerius from the
dead while a whole household of people
laugh at him he astonished the crowds
men Marvel his power you see him in the
fifth chapter spreading his Fame far and
near in the sixth chapter of Mark we
find Christ coming to his own country
Nazareth to visit his own people these
are his friends his family his relatives
and those who know him best but he came
to his own and his own received him not
they were offended by him the man who
had just demonstrated all power over
death and the devil could do no miracles
in their midst and he Marvel at their
unbelief Christ was incredulous unbelief
and tied his hands but it was in
Nazareth that Jesus spoke these very
profound and prophetic words and hear it
a prophet has no honor in his own
country among his own kin and in his own
house he said that to Jews who all their
lifetime had prayed and yearned for
messiah but when he came they cast him
aside John the Baptist the prophet who
baptized him later had doubts about him
his own brothers and sisters didn’t
believe in him God’s chosen people
became his greatest enemy and how true
that scripture a man’s foes will be they
of his own
household and you know today we Marvel
at the blindness of these people how
could they not know the Son of
God how could the savior of mankind walk
among the men of this world and be a
stranger but we’re no different The
Words of Christ were so prophetic it’s
possible for Jesus to get less honor in
his own house among his own people than
anywhere in the world because the worst
kind of rejection comes from those who
are supposed to love us the most and
Christ keeps coming to his own again and
again and his own receive him not again
and again and so it is at this present
time because I believe that Christ often
in our own Services walks as a stranger
Among Us
as sure as he walked among the Jews
ignored and cast aside and all they used
him they brought to him their sick and
Afflicted to be healed they came for the
Loaves and the fishes they brought their
children to be blessed they wanted their
water turned to wine and then they
discarded him they put him to an open
shame they killed him his own people did
it and we are still putting CL AR fresh
to an open shame we still ignore him we
still discard him and I tell you you
that it’s possible to together the
thousands of Spirit-filled people in one
place praising and lifting up their
hands and still have Christ walking
among us as a
stranger now he said where two or three
are gathered my my name there am I in
the midst but he can be in our midst as
a stranger ignored unrecognized even by
those who say they meet in his
name the Jews did the same they gathered
every Sabbath in the synagogue they
spoke of his name they prophesied of his
coming they praised the father who
promised to send him they spoke his name
with awe and reverence then when he came
when he walked among them he was
unrecognized he was a
stranger could it be possible that in
the midst of a Spirit-filled
congregation Christ walks as a stranger
to those who speak his name to those who
worship the father who sent him a
stranger to those who sing his hosan and
call him Lord Lord yes absolutely and
it’s happening today
and let me share with you from my heart
three Re three ways that we spirit
filled so-called spirit filled people
and I don’t like the term it suggest
that others are
not but let me tell you how charismatic
people often are guilty of making
stranger a Christ in our
midst first of all we make Christ A
Stranger by giving the Holy Spirit
preeminence over him Christ and Christ
Alone must be the center of all all our
life and our worship this has been God’s
plan from the foundation of the world he
loved his own son that he gave him his
fullness even before the foundation of
the world before we were ever created
that they may behold my glory he said
which thou Hast given me oh God for thou
has loved thou lovest me before the
foundation of the world and he is the
head of the body the church who is the
beginning the firstborn from the dead
that in all things he he might have the
preeminence for it pleased the father
that in him all fullness should
dwell that in all things Christ might
have the preeminence that means he’s
distinguished and spoken of above all
others having first place that not even
the Holy Ghost be exalted before his
name because the Holy Ghost leads
nowhere but to the cross the upper room
must never overshadow the cross the
Blessed holy spirit is not the Lord he
shows us the Lord he brings us to the
Lord and I believe he’s desperately
trying to get all Pentecostals back to
the Cross to the Cross
am when the Holy Spirit alone becomes
the center of our attention the church
gets out of focus you see the Holy
Spirit did come down upon Christ in the
baptismal Waters and he came as a dove
and the dove said this is God’s beloved
Son in whom he is well pleased hear you
he now the attention was not on the dove
but the lamb the Dove came to exalt the
Lamb of
God Christ told his disciples that
Pentecost was coming the spirit would be
outpoured but for a single purpose to
give power to men and women to witness
to the resurrection and the atonement of
Jesus
Christ to give power to those who had
witnessed to it
it was to be a power given to all who
would lift up the name of Jesus and I
resent power being termed in any other
phrase in any other way but to give
glory to Christ nothing else is power
amen that’s right but ye shall receive
power after that the Holy Ghost has come
upon you you shall be Witnesses unto me
to the uttermost parts of the world and
Jesus made it very clear when the spirit
comes he will not draw attention to
himself but he will focus on my words he
will exalt me when he the spirit of
Truth is come he shall not speak of
himself he shall glorify me for he shall
receive of mine and he will show it unto
you all things that the father hath are
mine therefore say I to you that he
shall take of mine and he will reveal it
to you he will show you my glory my
power my kingdom he will remind you of
all my
words the primary work of the holy
spirit is not Fellowship it is not
ecstasy it’s not to teach teach you an
unlearned tongue the spirit has come to
exalt Christ to bring all mankind to the
truth that Christ Alone is
[Music]
Lord the spirit is not Joy it is not
peace it’s not Comfort it’s not truth
Christ is the Spirit guides us to him
who is all in all the spirit did not
bleed and die Christ did Christ Alone is
the Redeemer Christ Alone is is the
advocate if you tell me the Holy Ghost
is your Advocate you are wrong you’re
unscriptural Christ is the advocate and
the Holy Ghost comes to make that real
to the
[Music]
world it’s not enough to say that the
spirit is bringing us closer to each
other he’s got to bring us closer to
Christ we often speak of the Holy Ghost
10 times to one over Christ we talk
about a baptism above an atonement now
there’s nothing wrong in trying to get
people qu baptized with the Holy Ghost
but we better understand what we’re
promoting we are promoting Jesus Christ
through the power of the spirit because
a baptism of the Holy Ghost is a baptism
of the love of Jesus Christ it’s a
baptism of Christ
fullness and anybody who speaks with
tongues has got to know it’s a gift
simply to help us glorify Jesus all the
more and if it’s used to any other other
way it’s
wrong it didn’t come just to make us
better
buddies he sent the Holy Ghost to fire
our souls over lost Humanity to get us
out in the highways and hedges to the
unsaved to shake up our lazy Lifestyles
and get us back to doing his work and I
believe the Holy Spirit Will withdraw
even from charismatics the Moment Men
try to exalt me above the Son of God he
will not permit his power to be abused
by those who want only the gift and not
Christ The Giver the Holy Ghost is given
by
Christ what is a truly Holy Ghost
meeting I we went to a holy ghost
meeting tonight is that where everybody
speak with tongues is that where people
are being simply healed or where Saints
are jumping for joy where the people are
prophesying oh more much more than that
folks it’s where Christ is being exalted
where his Holiness is is piercing the
soul where men and women fall before a
holy Throne of God and saying W is me
sanctify me cleanse me oh
Lord the moving of the Holy Spirit as a
moving closer to Christ it’s a deepening
in Christ it’s a greater submission to
his lordship and if you’re going to
speak in the spirit you’re going to say
be exalted oh Lord
Jesus
secondly Christ has made a stranger when
people praise him but will not pray to
him we praise a Christ to whom we will
not
pray we praise a Christ to whom we will
not pray we become a praising people but
not a Praying people for many of God’s
people charismatic people included the
prayer closet a relic of the past why
ask God for what he’s already given why
ask God for what he’s already promised I
hear it say just get a promise and claim
it go after
it we don’t want Christ anymore we want
only what he offers us we want to escape
from pain and suffering we want our
troubles to vanish we’re so caught up in
our Escape From Pain we Le the true
meaning the cross this is a generation
that refuse crosses and
losses we don’t want Gethsemane we don’t
want to sweat drops of blood we don’t
want any nights of
Agony we don’t even know know the
suffering Jesus anymore we don’t know
him the church once confessed its sins
now it confesses its
rights how many of us would serve
Jesus how many of us would love him and
serve him if he offered us nothing but
himself no healing no success no
Prosperity no worldly blessing no
Miracles no signs no wonders what if
once again we had to take joyfully the
spoiling of our Goods our houses
bankrupt What If instead of the clear
sailing and Problem free living we so
desire we Face shipwreck fears within
and fightings
without What If instead of painless
living we suffer cruel mocking stoning
Bloodshed being saw
asunder What If instead of our beautiful
homes and cars we had to wonder about in
deserts and sheep skins hiding in can
dens and caves what if like St we had to
be
stoned and like James had to be killed
like Paul Shipwrecked and what if
instead of prosperity we were destitute
Afflicted and tormented and the only
better thing offered for us was
Christ you know the Lord himself said
it’s possible to do many mighty Works in
his name to cast out demons to heal the
sick and still not know
him it doesn’t matter how much you pray
in the formula in the name of Jesus
doesn’t matter how many people you heal
in his name it matters not how many
demons you can scatter in the authority
of his name it matters not how many
great things you accomplish in his name
what really matters is do you really
know
him very few of God’s people pray
anymore we’re too busy working for Jesus
to talk to
him ministers are SP and all this is the
grief of my heart and my travels
ministers are becoming too busy to do
Kingdom they’re so busy doing Kingdom
work there’s no time left to
pray you see Christ coming to the
Shadows standing outside the office door
and he says to the pastor man of
God can I have an hour
please not now Lord I’ve got a
counseling session I’ve got to try to
save a
marriage again the spirit calls man of
God may I have an hour with
you not now Lord I’m meeting with my
architect and building committee for
your new church we’ll be busy till
midnight again the Lord calls what about
tomorrow may I have even one day with
you now not now Lord I have no time I’m
leaving for South Africa for a missions
conference very soon Lord not just now
souls are dying I needed in Africa and
oh there you have it I had a minister
tell me recently who has time to pray
a minister of a great church two weeks
ago said David I haven’t prayed in two
years or rather one year I’ve had
meditation I’ve had devotion but I
haven’t prayed and that’s why I became a
frustrated building
contractor we have time to visit to
build the travel to vacation to attend
meetings for recreation reading
counseling visitation but no time to
pray preachers who do not pray become
promoters when they lose touch with God
they lose touch with their people people
in their needs preachers who don’t pray
have egos that spin out of control they
want their own way they substitute sweat
for unction they get ripped up like a
circus horse running in
[Music]
circles evangelist who do not tray
become Stars
storytellers they lack humility so they
manipulate the crowds through emotional
gimmicks their preaching becomes a
contradiction at the very center of
their hearts preachers who don’t pray
don’t even know what the times are
saying they preach the headlines but
they don’t preach the mind of the Holy
Ghost preachers who do not pray have no
power over the rulers of
Darkness they don’t even know that this
battle is going on they’re on the
sidelines playing with some Earthly Pet
Project they’re not in the Holy Ghost
battle because only praying men touch
God
I tell you there’ll be less and less
clapping as I go
on how many pastors have cried this oh
I’ve heard it all over the country how
many pastors cry this oh God where can I
find an Advan who doesn’t care about
money one who’s not promoting something
one who can bring Heaven down and make
Christ real oh God give me at least one
man one praying man to bring my
congregation to its knees God give us
one
evangelist God is not obligated to keep
the unction on anyone who doesn’t
pray the shame of this generation is
that we have too many talented men and
only a few who touching God in
prayer and there’s even less praying in
the
congregation now I’m 100% for getting
prayers back in our Public Schools 100%
but that’s not the problem not at all
that’s not God’s problem his problem is
to get prayer back in our
homes this prise get preachers to pray
to get Christians to pray his own chosen
people to pray and I say you’re a phony
you’re a phony if you fight for school
prayers and you neglect your secret
closet of prayer you can go all over the
country promoting it but unless you have
a dynamic prayer with Jesus Christ it’s
nothing but sounding brass and tinkling
symbol it means
nothing do we pray oh yes we pray when
we need something when and we’ve got
this formula down pat in the name of
Jesus folks all we seem to need Jesus
for is to counter sign a petition check
Before the Throne of God just counter
sign a check in the name of
Jesus you know I’m weary of hearing
people say this is such a a busy
fast-paced generation we don’t have time
to pray
today no it’s not a lack of time it’s a
lack of
Desire you’ll make time for what you
really want to
do look look at those Christian Brothers
on the racket ball
court sweating concentrating serious
hours and hours on the ret ball court
there’s a no he’s got a Coke in hand and
he’s got sandwiches probably going to
watch three hours of cowboy time nce of
the men who tell me they have no time to
pray
and here’s the dear lady she spends her
time at
Tupperware she’s got baby showers going
tomorrow she goes shopping the afternoon
she’s got to see what’s going to happen
to Laura on TV and she tells me she has
no time to
pray look at the young people in America
wasting their time playing Pac-Man
Galaxy War goofing off board Restless
looking for
action
not time to
pray all right teenager I want you to
listen to me and I have the mind of God
now instead of playing around and
goofing off if you would spend even one
day seeking Christ in prayer out of the
month if you’d spend just one hour a day
seeking the face of Jesus your life
would become a powerful force for Christ
he would begin to show you a Dying World
he could even lay a nation on your heart
he could raise you up and make your life
really
count he could take you out of this
restlessness of this
world he could set your soul on fire and
use you he could use you but you don’t
pray you don’t talk to him how can he
get through to
you oh God somehow get this generation
on its
knees break it not just the Lord’s
Prayer but a holy ghost
communion you say you have no time to
pray yet the very Son of God who has the
care of all the multiplied universes he
has the time to pray for you he takes
the time to interceed Before the Throne
of God he prays you say you have no time
he
does we’re working so feverously for
Christ we
ignore we’ll go anywhere we’ll do
anything in his name but we will not
pray we’ll sing and a cry but we won’t
pray we’ll visit the sick and the
prisoners but we won’t pray we will
counsel the hurt needy we’ll stay up all
night to comfort a friend we won’t pray
we’ll fight corruption but we won’t pray
we’ll Crusade for Morality but we won’t
pray we’ll stand up against nuclear
armaments but we won’t pray we can sit
here for 2 hours praising God but we
won’t go home and
pray we’ll attend Crusades and seminars
go from meeting to meeting lift our
hands and sing and shout and praise the
Lord but we don’t pray and probably
because we don’t believe it
works prayer is not just a bunch of
words running out of our mouth it’s not
just a bunch of words oh I’m so sick and
tired of people just saying
words no wonder the devil is sapping the
spiritual strength of this generation
because prayer is a bloody
Battleground prayer is a bloody
Battleground it’s where the Victor is
really won it’s where you die it’s a
part of the final Conflict of the
ages now God doesn’t need
prayer you can’t get God any more
interested in us than he already
is you don’t have to extract God like he
was some Miser waiting for the highest
bidder no he said he more willing to
give than we are to receive I think the
perverted view of prayer it’s pagan to
think that we have to ring something out
of
God no folks the only man who tried to
wrestle with
God ended up crippled the rest of his
life we don’t wrestle with God we
wrestle with the Giant on ourselves we
wrestle with S no wonder the devil
fights you when you go to
pray the Holy Ghost Waits until the
glamour is gone he waits until the
half-heartedness is gone until the pride
is gone until you quit demanding
selfishly until you’re ready to lay down
that secret sin in your
life and that’s where our wrestling
comes
[Music]
in I believe God will throw that the
devil will throw hell at any man who
says I’m going to pray and seek the face
of
God the devil’s not afraid of power
hungry Saints but he trembles at the
sound of a Praying
saint he knows when a man or woman is
touched
God I believe the devil fears a praying
man or woman more than all the religious
activities in the world
combined and because we neglect prayer
we we neglect his
word we wear our B we wear our Bibles
like a hat or a purse it’s a nice
leather accessory to bring to the
Crusade we wear
it there was a time God’s people didn’t
need a par Church Army of psychiatrists
and psychologists and family counselors
we didn’t need that I’m not against it
but there were time we didn’t need it
because people were students of the
Bible they had the sword in their hands
and no demon or devil could withstand
their power they were into the
word there was a time God’s people had
no tapes no library of self-help books
no Retreats no specialized
seminars but they had the word hidden in
their heart and the Word was the lamp to
their
feet now we have all these special
effects we’ve got the
specialist and yet we’ve got more
Despair and depression and fear and
anxiety than in all of history why
because through our neglected prayer and
the word of God we’re
lost we become spiritual Sluggers un
willing to go into the secret closet and
dig out the solution dig out the truth
we want some teacher to hand it out and
Spoon it out to
us and if is if there’s anything needed
in the charismatic movement for I didn’t
come here to set anybody straight I’m
preaching to myself these should think
God been dealing with me and I tell you
we need a Revival a Bible study honest
to goodness Bible
study
10 10 years ago I had a millionaire
friend who went bankrupt he lost his
mansion and and in a way he got mad at
me and I don’t know why he began to talk
about me and I lost touch with him for
10 years two weeks ago he showed up at
my front
porch big man put a bear hug around me
said David I love you I’m sorry God has
touched me oh he was just filled with
the spirit of God and I said who was the
preacher and where was the Revival
he said David no preacher no Revival
three months ago I got so desperate I’d
lost
everything God told me if I’d get into
the word I’d find the answer for the
past three months I have been nothing
but reading the word of God God has
restored my spirit and soul I’m making
all my wrongs right you’re the last one
I have to see it was through the word of
God
thirdly Christ has made a strange in our
midst when we want his power more than
his
Purity we want his power more than his
Purity reader Harris was a friend of
brother Raven Hill he was Englishman and
director of the Pentecostal League of
prayer and at one time he challenged the
large congregation on this matter of
Purity and power he said I want
everybody that wants power to line up to
my right and everybody that wants Purity
line up to my left they lined up 10 to
one for
power now in the book of Acts if I read
it
right Pentecost was synonimous with
Purity and not
power Peter told the Council of
Jerusalem what God did at the house of
Cornelius he said God gave them the Holy
Ghost even as he did to us purifying
their hearts
by
faith now Jesus died to break the power
of sin and to deliver from guil and he
wants to raise up the holy pure body he
said who gave himself for us that he
might redeem us from all iniquity and
purify un himself a special
people who is the
man who is the woman that has the
power it’s the man or the woman who has
the
Purity it’s not the one who heal the
sick and raise the dead it’s not the one
who can best talk in tongues or prophesy
it’s not the one who draws the biggest
crowds and builds the greatest
Church no it’s the righteous man for the
righteous are as bold as a
lion who who is it that has the boldness
the scripture say enter the holy of
holies only those whose bodies are
washed with pure water having the heart
sprinkled by the blood of Christ from an
evil
conscience the Prophet
Malachi prophesied of a supernatural
purging that’s going to come to the
house of God before Jesus
comes now if
you are into
prophecy I don’t know much about
prophecy but I know prophecy when I see
it I’m not quote a prophecy
preacher but nothing could be clearer
than this prophecy of Malachi that
before Jesus comes there’s going to be a
general purging in the
church he said the Lord whom you seek
shall suddenly come to his Temple who
can withstand the day of his coming who
shall stand when he appears for he is
like a refiner fire and like Fuller soap
and he shall sit as a refiner and
purifier of silver and he shall purify
the sons of Levi and purge them of
silver and gold that they may offer unto
the Lord an offering in righteousness
now this is a dual prophecy speaking of
both his first and second coming he’s
going to come again suddenly as a thief
in the night but before that happens the
prophet said God is going to purify his
church
amen we are not ready for the coming of
the
Lord is this is this the church
triumphant Covetous divorcing depressed
worldly minded grasping from material
things preaching a gospel of
prosperity lukewarm competitive
adulterous rich increased with Goods
unaware of the to naked SP blind
spiritually blind
no is this the church pleasure loving
Recreation minded consumed with sports
and politics and
power is this the church simply coping
filled with fear and anxiety satisfied
only with health and
happiness my Bible said he’s coming back
for an overcoming Church without that
spot without that wrinkle one whose
affections are on on things above and
not on things of this world with Clean
Hands and pure hearts people are looking
for his coming a people with the New
Jerusalem State of Mind a New Jerusalem
State of
[Applause]
Mind oh there’s nothing wrong with the
Church of Jesus Christ the Gates of Hell
will not Prevail against
it but you know as well as I do that
there are many in our midst to were
sick now the question now as far as the
prophet Malachi is concerned the
question is not now what can my faith
get me folks that question is
gone this this idea what can Christ do
for me
next what Miracle will he perform for me
now that’s not the question the question
now is how shall I stand before Christ
how shall I stand at the
Judgment who shall stand the prophet
said who shall stand when he
appears the question no longer is how do
I
feel how do I get
happiness how do I get the desire of my
heart that’s not the question of the
hour now folks the question of the hour
is how can I withstand that moment I
stand before the Judgment seat of Christ
how do I withstand that hour when I’ve
lived carelessly when I’ve been so
selfish and I neglected this great
salvation am I going to stand on that
Judgment Day that’s the
question the issue now is have I
neglected Christ in this Midnight Hour
has he been calling me and calling me
and I’ve been turning him
away it’s not a matter now of Miracles
and casting out devils and Healing The
Sick or demonstrating power but am I
pure in the sight of God because it’s
possible to do all these things and the
Lord say to you on that day did depart
from me you work of iniquity I never
even knew you never knew
you that’s not a handful that’s a whole
class of society he’s talking about
people who did Mighty Works in his
name The Purge is going to begin in the
Pulpit The Purge is already begun in the
Pulpit he shall purify the sons of Levi
and how’s he going to do that by turning
the heat he’s going to turn up the heat
gentlemen on all of us he’s going to
make things so hot so intense God’s men
are going to be driven to their
knees this is the fire of the Holy Ghost
but it’s the fire persecution it’s the
fire of tribulation the fire of
rebellion the fire of unbelievable
hardships ridicule gossip financial
problems he’s going to shake the Holy
Ghost going to shake everything that can
be shaken even our faith is going to be
sh taken and tested in this
fire if God’s men will not come back to
him willingly he’ll do it
sovereignly and I believe he’s here to
do a new thing in our midst he’s come
now as a refiner of
fire of silver he’s in his holy place
now heating the fire seven times hot and
we are all going into this
Crucible I know people don’t like it
when I talk about the coming persecution
and trial they don’t like to hear
preachers preach that
because we’ve got itching ears and we
become so so me conscious we don’t like
to hear people come along and prick us
with this kind of preaching but you
better believe it folks you better
believe it we are going in hard times in
persecution before Jesus comes we’re
going into a crucible because he comes
now as refiner of
silver no one’s going to escape the
purging God’s determined to get all the
dirt out of
us he wants a holy
priesthood he going to sever us from our
backslidings he going to sever us from
our worldliness he going to sever us
from our secret
sins hey look I’m not castigating the
ministry these are my brothers and
they’re all through the
audience these are holy men of God and I
believe like me they’re hungry for
Holiness and I suppose I need this more
than any man in this
place because I feel in the past 9
months I felt the white hot heat of
testing God has been scrubbing me down
he been working on some ugly spots in my
life and oh if you have a heart for God
any man in this place has been on his
knees any man or woman has been
praying watch
out John the Baptist didn’t see Jesus
coming as a divine Santa Claus he saw
him coming with an axe in one hand and a
fan in the other and the ax had laid to
the roof and the fan would blow out all
the champ and leave on the week
am it’s going to spread from the pulpit
to the
Pew you better get ready Saints All You
Holy Ghost People Get
Ready he’s getting ready to expose all
your secret
sins all adultery all foolishness
because when he the Holy Ghost comes he
will what he will reprove the world of
sin and I am one of those who don’t I I
do not believe we’ve seen yet the
fullness of the outpouring of the Holy
Ghost we’ve only seen a few sprinkles
because when the Holy Ghost comes and
pours out his Spirit upon All Flesh
there will be a general conviction of
sin around the world men and women will
tremble in the Pres of the Holy
Ghost
Hall if we had the true fullness of the
Holy Ghost nobody in the house could sit
comfortably in their sins they’d fall on
their knees in his
presence how you going to play
games when he thrs you in the fire and
everything around just boiling how do
you stay
lukewarm
the Holy Ghost is going to put some fire
in your
baptism the malar said the day cometh it
shall burn as an oven and all the proud
and all that do wickedly shall be
stubbled and the day that cometh shall
burn the day that cometh shall
burn there’s another part of this
prophecy that blesses
me God is Pro promised that along with
the purge in his house he going to start
pulling down the strongholds of the
devil I have never believed that God
would turn a whole generation over to
drugs and sex and alcohol and abandon
them to the devil I have never believe
that the Lord would sit by and do
nothing about all the divorcing the
breaking up of our homes I’ve never
believed that the Lord would let that go
by very along without doing something
about it and God said he’s about to do
something about
it
God’s getting ready to trample on the
drug and alcohol problem in our schools
and I tell you honestly if if I have
never heard anything else from God I
know I have heard this we are on the
brink of the greatest outpouring of
God’s spirit in our high schools
America’s ever seen there’s a Revival
coming to our

promise and I will come near to you in

kind of prosperity preaching and I
believe there’s a new kind of prosperity
preaching already being preached in the
land it’s moving away from anything
that’s material and it’s coming now to
revelation of the true Riches of God in
Christ Jesus
[Laughter]
Hallelujah praying patience it’s out of
print 1820 18 06 I think it was
Presbyterian Pastor one of the great
praying saints of God in American
history praying Pace in in the middle of
a Great Depression in America at that
time just 30 years after the Declaration
of
Independence he wrote a letter to his
mother he said Dear Mother the
depression is so severe in
Portland that all the businesses have
failed men are committing suicide
because they have no Christ to support
themselves the poor four houses are
filled he said people are being
scattered in the Four Winds he said
almost all the people especially young
married couples have lost their homes in
my church but he said mother don’t say
poor Edwards say blessed Edwards because
in these hard times even though I have
only pennies to live on and can’t afford
to get married he said God has been
revealing the true Riches of the glory
of God in Christ Jesus and he said this
mother my people taking joyfully the
spoiling of their goods he said my
prayer is and listen to this folks how
different from what we’ve been hearing
in these last days he said mother it’s
my prayer that if God has any material
blessings in store for me he would be
pleased to turn them into spiritual ones
instead if God has anything material in
store for me would he be pleased to give
me his grace instead turn them into
spiritual
blessings now
folks I don’t have a heavy burn to lay
on you
tonight because Christ didn’t come to
condemn
us but to save us and and just like you
I’m struggling with temptation and
trial weakness and Times of
Disobedience and to tell you the
truth I have read more books on theology
in the last year than I have in my whole
lifetime combined I’ve gone through all
the Puritan writers I’ve gone through
all the the great Holiness preachers
I’ve gone through Wesley have gone
through it
all and even though my heart is so
hungry and I pour over the scriptures I
tell you honestly I don’t understand all
the doctrines about Holiness and
righteousness and
Purity I don’t understand this great
conflict between Calvin and Armenian I
don’t
know anything about these great
doctrines that I could dispute with you
about and the more I read sometimes the
unless I feel I
know and I think like zwingle I feel oh
God I have to put it all this time and
just like Paul say I’ve determined to
know nothing among you save Jesus Christ
and him
crucified and I don’t know all those
doctrines and I don’t want to lay a
heavy burden on
you and I’m not standing here telling
you I’m a great praying man because the
last nine months God has shown me has
he’s been putting me back to prayer and
fasting how far away i’ gotten from all
of that
International
Pulpit I used to walk the streets and
cry I’d get on the Staten Island fairy
and I’d cry and hundreds of people look
at me like a crazy man but I looked over
that Brooklyn Skyline and I cried for
hours I walked the streets of Harlem and
I cried and I prayed when I drove my car
I had to stop and
pray I had a
hunger and when I stood in the
ppit God’s word was
heard but we get
away my altars were
full but there was a contradiction at
the
center I hadn’t fasted in 20 years
first two years New York I fasted and I
prayed and I’m telling you saints of God
God going get us back to fasting and
praying one way or another going to do
it I don’t know much about those doctr
but I know one thing that Christ is the
Holiness I need Christ is the
righteousness I need and the Holy Spirit
that I have has come to say David let
let me do my work in you when the Holy
Ghost is doing his work in me I am
glorifying his name I’m being drawn back
into his secret closet I am glorifying
and exalting His holy
[Music]
name and I’m ashamed I’m really
ashamed that every sermon I preached up
to nine months ago I don’t want to even
look at
because nine months ago God spoke to my
heart and said if you really believe
that it’s the
end if you really believe I’m coming why
are you playing
games all God will come to us time and
time again say pay the price and we go
so far and we
stop and I said God this time I’m going
all the way I’m not going back and I
tell you now I take time I take days I
take weeks
I’ve canceled everything from August
till January for 5 months I’m going to
shut myself in with God now maybe you
can’t do that and I’m not saying that to
boast you I’m telling you that I feel I
need it because I don’t know where I’m
been God is trying to say something to
the Church of Jesus
Christ and we’re so into happiness and
joy and that has its place and that too
is the work of the Holy Spirit but can
you imagine what would happen if 10,000
people would go home and pray for the
two hours you spend praising him we
would turn this world upside down if
10,000 people begin to intercede
[Laughter]
tonight God got my
attention here’s his ways
you going to get your
attention the only Power I want now is
his
Purity I want his righteousness and I
can’t get it by anything I do it’s a
gift prise God it’s his grace
hallelujah it’s
time for a cleans
in it’s time for
purifying and the fire is here have you
sensed it lately last few months in your
heart hasn’t there been hadn’t the Holy
Ghost been saying to you what he’s been
saying to me and so many other I hear
from preachers all americ say brother
Dave I don’t know what it is I’ve been
drawn to him more than ever I’m so
Restless I’m not satisfied with what
I’ve had God has to do something in me
and for me well folks here’s one preach
not giving up till I touch God I’m not
giving up I’m going to press in I’m
going to press in until God says
something in my heart and God’s trying
to say that to his
church come back to the prayer closet
the holy spirit is walking among us
tonight what he is saying exalt the name
of
Jesus exalt in his
presence
