dear
Jesus I thank you so much for the power
of God thank you for this service for
the anointing of the holy spirit that
abides we thank you Lord that we can
appropriate it this morning for this
hour of
need let the mighty power of the holy
ghost touch every heart every listener
let no one leave this service this
morning without being
moved move us Lord until there is a
reaction in all of our hearts to the
mighty word of the Lord the quickening
power of God we know that you’re here
you abide and you’re with us now every
word that proceeds out of our mouth this
morning shall bring glory to his
matchless name
amen power over
sin I have an unusual kind of respect
for the word
sin the same kind of respect I have for
a rattlesnake Cor for an
attack over eight years now I’ve
ministered the very gates of hell and
I’ve seen every variety of sin there is
and I’ve wept my way through human
graveyards of depravity and
hopelessness my congregation has already
been to Hell and
back those that I minister to walk only
at night and their only consolation is
that there are so many others just like
them sunshine to them is painful
life is a dreaded ordeal pleasure is
only another form of pain death is a
desired Haven a way out of bondage and
total demon
possession my Parish of course is the
gutter the big people here are the drug
addicts the burglars the muggers the
alcoholics The Gangs The Debs and dolls
and the con artists none of them very
old in years but all of them old in
misery and
pain this is a world where the little
people are born
old children are conceived in the hates
and shames and sins of their parents
their tender little bodies become their
enemies used only to feed them drugs
disease and liquor they cry when they’re
born without any hope of being heard by
men they are born wishing they were dead
they are born to sin cursed parents who
spend every nickel on fifs of whiskey
instead of quarts of
milk they land in the street Le because
it’s better there than in their home
hell to them is
home Satan rules Supreme in the world
that we minister to the other half he
entices The Young and the innocent he
enslaves them with appetites and habits
that break down their morals their
health and their integrity waste their
energies and dissipate their strength
and power leaving them nothing but the
pitiful wages of sin
death little skinny Carlos is a point in
cas in point 17-year-old boy that I met
in a basement 110th Street in Harlem he
had never in his 17 years seen the
Brooklyn Bridge though he lived in
Brooklyn uh in uh Harlem he’d never been
down to see the Brooklyn
Bridge never been out of a 20 some block
area in all of his
life his mother had left him when his 14
years of age and he moved into a
basement he was allowed to stay in that
basement by
firing stoking the furnace and I went
down to look at his little room I was
shocked and I’ve seen
plenty he had an old urine stened
mattress on right on the dirty floor
there were no doors or Windows in that
basement and the coal came rushing
through there in the winter rats he had
a little calendar three years old
hanging on the wall a little picture of
his mother and an old burnout
candle a few rags that he used for a
blanket the boy ate only what he could
steal a bag of oranges a loaf of bread
he had a little needle a set of Works
underneath the little Stone he sat there
day after day shooting narcotics into
his vein and living his little world the
boy hadn’t bathed in months and I don’t
suppose he’ changed his clothes in at
least three months I was so shocked I
forced him to come to the center we made
him take a sh we cleaned him up gave him
good
clothes talked to him about the Lord but
he was so stunned he couldn’t
understand when I went down to the
office later about 1:00 in the morning
to finish some work I felt rather warm
inside that I could provide clean sheets
a nice bed good clothes and comfort for
a boy who’ been sleeping in a
basement 2:00 in the morning a blood
curling scream and Carlos ran screaming
down our halls and outside the door he
hadn’t even had his shirt on yet he was
naked from the waist up and carrying his
shoes ran screaming down the street and
disappeared the next day I went over to
find him I saw him in a little candy
store I said Carlos what’s the matter he
said pastor you took my only security
this is the only life I’ve known he said
you took it away from me I had to come
back I can’t stand it anywhere
else skinny Carlos died two months later
of
hepatitis in the Queen’s Hospital I
haven’t forgotten that boy because Satan
stripped him and left him
nothing Daisy young lady I talked about
last night a prostitute narcotic addict
32 years of age came to live with us at
teen challeng center walked out against
advice because of constant Drilling in
her veins her surface veins collapse
when it happens they shoot into the leg
and then when those surface veins
collapsed they shoot in the jugler vein
and in the
breast Daisy had walked out against
advice warned that I would bury her if
she didn’t obey the Holy
Spirit Daisy was prostituting two months
later on a rooftop 110th Street in
Madison
Avenue and she got $2 for her trick as
we call it a drug addict later found she
had that $2 tast to back up on the roof
and demanded the money she wouldn’t
surrender to him and he pushed her off
the roof and she fell on the pavement
cracked his skull and died instantly he
went down and took the $2 from the
corpse because Satan wouldn’t even let
her go into eternity with $2 in her
purse Fernandez was paid in full in the
Rooftop in the Bronx and I told about
this to the young people last night five
teenage boys shooting narcotics
16-year-old
Fernandez died from an overdose they
tried to stick saltwater needles in his
veins to shock him Beed him over the
head with wet tiles he still passed away
the next day they’re walking the street
trying to work an angle they had no
money for a deck of Harin remembered the
corpse laying up on the rooftop
stretched up against the stairwell they
went up and stripped him of his clothes
stripped the corpse took it to a pawn
shop and got $6 for his clothes and left
him naked because Satan wouldn’t let
Fernandez go into eternity even with the
clothes on his
back this is the world that we work in
world of sexual deviation overrun with
homosexuals and lesbians thousands of
sad and lonely people who live normal
lives most of the week but suddenly at
the weekend they’re overwhelmed by a
power from another world that sets them
apart from all other creation they are
marked with a sin and a corrupted streak
that drives them to depths of sin and
filth that our decent Minds cannot even
comprehend they’re driven to alcoholism
to mental institutions and so often to
suicide I received the most indecent
mail of any minister in the world my own
mother has had to answer my personal
mail because we cannot even trust anyone
else to open the mails that come to me
from men and women all over the world
who detail their obsessions and their
deviant lives life patterns these
pitiful letters break hearts at our
Center my mother has blushed many times
tragic stories of bondage demon
possession satanic attacks obsessive
habits stories from Layman and ministers
from many nations around the world who
beg for our prayers and deliverance
prostitutes who wet their tears with
their letters with their tears
homosexually bound ministers who
threaten suicide unless they can be set
free once in all from their sin drug
addicts who write jail Epistles about
the physical torture of cold turkey who
make sad and pitiful appeals for one
last chance before they commit
suicide friends the sin cult that I’m
talking about even now plagues the
Church of Jesus Christ Our religious and
secular campuses colleges Bible
schools and almost every Christian
stronghold today Satan has come down
having great wrath because he know he
has but a short time I’ve been lecturing
in some of our Christian campuses around
the country and this year been one of
the worst disciplinary problems in the
history of our
schools our own schools Pentecostal
Methodist and and I I can name some of
the outstanding schools Christian
schools of our nation for the first time
in their history are having problems
that they can of can’t even begin to
control now I’ve expected drinking
cursing sexual promiscuousness and
deviation of every kind in the gutter
where I preach but now it appears that
these same problems are causing many
Christians to lose their first love
while the church has slept the enemy has
crept Ste into Soul tears there is now
winking at sin No More Concept to the
exceeding sinfulness of
sin now I expect things to get much
worse in the parish that I called on to
minister to it’ll get worse and worse
through time because God’s word predicts
It 2 Timothy 3:13 but evil men and
seducers shall wax worse and worse
deceiving and being
deceived the Govern with all of its
millions and medical knowledge will not
stop drug addiction I predicted
thousands of more will become addicts
each passing year I was just telling the
young people last night that one of our
major problems in New York City right
now are the numbers of teenagers are
going through the high school quarters
unscrewing the little caps from the fire
extinguishers and getting high on his
chemicals licorice now they find is
addicting habit forming and they’re
going to have to Outlaw
licorice
because kids are discovering that if you
take enough of it you can get it
high more prostitutes will sell their
body and soul skid RADS will become
overcrowded teen gangs will continue to
terrorize and Rumble from City to City
civil disobedience is going to spread
disrespect for Law and Order will be
rampant Dr murders are going to increase
sexual deviant will prow more and more
streets raping and abusing more and more
helpless women crime is going to go out
of control completely college campuses
will not be peaceful and calm again they
will boil over with a new kind of
liberalism extensionism
extens oh anyhow
existentialist
existentialist I remember preaching at
uh just pardon me a minute
here where is it Berkeley
campus out on Sproul Hall during the
riot
they said they’ll Stone
you the Communist and all their
followers were over here screaming and
hollering through the
microphones I stood up to speak and
young people took their hats off there
were some 12 to 1500 young people
standing around with their hands folded
and I’d never seen anyone so respectful
all my life and I wondered what it was
and I turned around so happened the Teen
Challenge sent there had brought along
about five or six great big Husky
converted drug addicts who stood behind
me with their hands on their shoulder I
would have listen
too I was in Buffalo New
York uh for cusa in downtown in the city
Square I saw a group of kids you know
these Shaggy kids who Iron their hair
and wrinkle their
clothes marching around the city square
B and a bomb one sign read Johnson’s a
liar get out of
Vietnam right in the middle of a little
kid hat a for sale
sign and to me that described what was
happening to our young people today just
anything to try to show some Spirit of
rebellion this will increase and Mark it
down and you’re going to hear it this
morning from this Pulpit you mark it
down well if it doesn’t happen this
summer it’ll happen next summer and I
believe it will happen this summer we’re
going to have the greatest Revolution
the most vile violent race Revolution
the world has ever witnessed it will
start this time in Washington Baltimore
Detroit
Oakland these are the cities that are
going to get hit the hardest including
New York while Angeles will have other
outbreaks perhaps not as serious but
this will spread throughout the United
States States and we’re going to see it
hasn’t even begun my friends because
this is the sword of the Lord in the
land God has allowed
it this is the doing of the
Lord when a nation sins grievously
against me the Lord said I will move
against it with the sword of my
hand Bishop Pike and Bishop Robinson
Incorporated and all these pipsqueak
Bishops will lead their her of agnostic
ministers deeper and deeper into the
pits of confus conf usion sin and
rantings and ravings against the cherish
truths of the Orthodox Church liberals
will be making pilgrimages to Rome to
bend their knee to the power and the
pope backslid Pentecostals and
evangelicals will busy be busy working
more and more angles getting involved in
more and more red tape trying more and
more Orthodox procedures that have
already proven unworkable send out more
and more slogans dream up more and more
paper evangelism and and stray further
and further away from the simple
uncomplicated dreams of the fathers who
founded their movements God’s word
predicts it movies will get dirtier and
more descriptive tv shows will compete
for vness and freedom to satisfy the sex
satiated generation of the United States
new STS will brazenly pedal smut written
by demons and Devils divorc laws will be
eased and the home life as we have known
it will be ridiculed until it becomes
acceptable to maintain Mistresses and to
indulge in extra marital relationships
it will become almost normal for college
students to maintain sexual Affairs
while in school to keep up with the
crowd moral standards are decaying and
now dishonesty cheating lying and
stealing is become a way of life and
God’s word predicts it’ll get worse more
and more of our church kids will get
pregnant others will lose the fire and
backslide others will live phony lives
and hide behind double standards but in
the midst of persecution will get hotter
and
hotter become more and more difficult to
live a really overcoming life
intellectuals will scoff and cry come on
over and set yourself free from your
Puritan attachments and background
intelligent Christian Youth will seek to
become relevant rather than repentant
they will become involved but instead
become entangled God’s word predicts it
all I hear today is about a church that
needs to be relevant God’s word said it
needs to be
repentant we talk about being involved
and instead we get entangled I have
never yet once seen a preacher who heads
a civil rights demonstration stop the
crowd and preach the
gospel and and I just don’t care what
they think of me Pastor if you’re going
to march in a civil rights demonstration
stop the crowd go ahead and March but
preach Jesus
first then
March never have we needed and I have
painted this picture and I believe it’s
true I have not overstated it and all
you have to do if you think I’ve
overstated is to take a little tour with
me through our major cities and see that
I have understated it of
anything but we have never so
desperately needed a definition of power
over sin as we need it now in the past
few months I have literally been driven
to my Bible for a definition of power
over sin
I have to have
answers the people that I work with have
to have an immediate answer they have to
have help and deliverance right
now never have people fought such great
inner battles as they fight today the
question I’m asked most in the gutter in
Crusades must I give into this thing
that has me in its grip is there no
power of sin in my life do I have have
to go through the rest of my life as a
obeying the impulses of my lower
nature a husband sat in my office with
his face in his hands crying few weeks
ago a lovely wife and two beautiful
children he’d been converted for five
years and he’d been seeking after God
but suddenly he turned to
alcoholism in fact the night he reverted
to alcoholism he burned a bar down and
hit the headlines
came into my office I said why did you
do it 5 years you were clean he bowed
his head and he wept he said brother
Dave five years ago I had a secret sin
he named it his homosexuality he said I
tried to overcome it it laid dormant
suddenly it overpowered me and I was so
depressed I went out and got drunk and I
burned a bar down told me the whole
story he looked up at me with tears
streaming down his cheeks and he said
brother Dave is there no Victory is
there no power over this thing do I have
to be a slave the rest of my life he
said if that’s true I want to end it all
now a much-used evangelist from Denmark
came to my office greatly used of God
reaching thousands of souls he said
David 10 years ago I was an
alcoholic and I had the same problem
that I mentioned to you just now he said
God delivered me fill me with with the
Holy Spirit and I have won thousands of
souls said for 10 years I’ve moved in
God he set there trembling he said three
weeks
ago strange Spirit came over me and I
found the old
desire had overwhelmed me and I stood in
a Pulpit and suddenly that craving that
desire hit me so
hard he said I’ve come all the way from
Denmark I’ve read your book you’re the
only man I think could help me he said
brother Dave and he stood though I’ve
preached though I’ve known all about the
movings of the Holy Spirit he said I
have no power over this I’m driven like
an animal and unless I can get Victory
I’ve got to quit preaching and if I have
to do that suicide is
next and I get letters from all over the
world I watch drug addicts as they leave
us and revert to their old life and I
see them on the street they cry and read
their Bibles half the night they say I
can’t help it I’m on a toog and slide
I’m going and I can’t stop
it you know we have thousands of
Christians around the world who fight a
battle constantly they have never had a
definition of power over sin in their
lives they’re buffeted and they’re
tossed by every little wind and wave of
Temptation told of burying Danny last
night Danny walked out Shot Through the
Heart by a police officer We buried him
three weeks
ago I remember talking to D on the
street before he was
murdered say brother Dave how can I get
power over this craving for drugs why
didn’t god Set Me Free when I got on my
knees and prayed why didn’t God take the
desire away he said it’s still there and
I can’t help it he said I don’t want it
I despise it I hate it but I can’t stop
it don’t think for one moment that only
drug addicts and homosexuals fight this
horrible battle against sin in the soul
it’s the Battle of every great man of
God it’s your battle and it’s mine I
know what it is to pray for a Crucified
Life and by the way it’s not scriptural
to live a Crucified Life crucifixion is
an act you live the resurrected life and
I’m tired of people tell me they’re
living a Crucified Life they’ve never
even been able to say it is finished the
act of crucifixion is finished when you
can say with Christ at the cross it is
finished and then give up the
ghost I do not live the Crucified Life I
live the resurrected life from the same
quickening power that raised Jesus from
the dead is in me Hallelujah and I live
the resurrected life why don’t you join
me I can give you the day I can give you
the day I screamed in my little
prophet’s chamber it is finished and
I’ve been preaching a sermon ever since
God’s not given
anymore he gave it all
Calvary how God give you something get
already gave you he gave you you you
know friends that there are not a
handful of people in America that
understand everything we need we already
have in Jesus all the righteousness the
P I’m getting way ahead of myself here
hold
it but I spent eight long months I’m
going to just stop a minute and tell you
how it
happened 8 months ago 9 months
ago I was walking from one building to
another we’ve got five on the
Block six now we just about finished the
half million dollar center for the glory
of God Oriental man stopped me on the
street give me give me his name he said
brother Dave God sent me to
you he said your ministry is too
shallow first thing he said he said God
sent me from behind the Iron Curtain to
tell you
this
he said you need to take a year off and
get into the
word understand the power of God there’s
so many things that you haven’t learned
yet you’ve got to get Dave Wilson out of
the way and I got
mad I said I’ll tell you what you need
friend I said I’m the soul winner and
you come around here telling me I said
that Center is full of converts and
God’s moving God’s blessing my life I’m
preaching to six and 7,000 a week now
and you telling me that I don’t
understand it
I said ‘I bet you just go around tell
the preachers things like I said you
need to get in the chapel and get on
your knees and humble
yourself he just smiled he was a little
hurt he walked
away I was mortified because the truth
always
hurts went to the office and the
telephone rang some
Minister didn’t I don’t even remember
his name he said it’s not important he
said for three weeks I’ve set it my
phone I’ve been fighting against it but
I just have to do it he said I had a
vision of you Reverend
won said I don’t know much about you but
God told me to call you and I’ve got to
obey it he said you were standing before
thousands of young people one of your
Crusades and they all walked out on you
and you went to the edge of the pulpit
and you fell over dead and you fell in a
hole and I went and looked in the hole
and everybody said dve wson is dead and
he was in his old clothes he said I
don’t know what that means and I tell
you I just B had it I I yelled at him I
said I’ll bet you’re a homosexual or
something and you just take a vicarious
thr out of humbling me they said get off
this phone and leave me
alone H I went
home this double barrel attack hanging
heavy over me and I went to prayer and
God began to break through and said I
sent them
both I sent them both cancel all your
Crusades cancel everything and stay in
this room until you begin to understand
the kingdom of God within you
until you begin to see the power there
is in Jesus Christ until you dip
lengthen your cords go deeper in the
Lord it was in this process eight months
I tried prayed Lord show me the
Crucified Life I’ve got to have a power
of definition over sin and I prayed and
I strove and I
fasted I studied the lives of the great
missionaries who spread the gospel
around the world and I found that they
were fighting the same battle that I was
fighting that God never used one of them
until they suddenly had a revelation of
the power over sin that a man can obtain
that a man can live in complete victory
in his life not subject to these
things I studied the life of Hudson
Taylor Hudson Taylor had been used of
God to send some 200 missionaries to
China raised up China inland mission one
of the greatest missionaries in the
world in the midst of this when God was
using him Hudson Taylor Cried Out
suddenly I felt the ingratitude the
danger the sin of not living nearer to
God he said I prayed I agonized I fasted
I strove I made resolutions I read the
word more diligently I sought more time
from meditation but all without aail
every day almost every hour the
consciousness of my inner sin oppressed
me now this is a great missionary
talking was known around the world I
knew that if I could only abide in
Christ all would be well but I could not
I would begin the day with prayer
determined never to take my eyes off
Jesus throughout the day but he said at
the end of the day my catalog of sin
would
increase my position became continually
more and more responsible my needs
greater for special
Grace and I continually mourned that I
followed Jesus at such a far distance
and I learned so slowly to imitate him
he said I can’t begin to tell you how
buffeted I am by
Temptations I never knew how bad a heart
I
had who’s talking one of the world’s
greatest missionaries who suddenly saw
revelation of himself and his weakness
and his Frailty I never knew how Wicked
how bad a heart I
had I knew that I loved God and I loved
his work and I desired to serve him in
all things and I value and presses his
lovely
name but often I’m tempted to think that
one so full of sin as I cannot even be a
child of got it
all he said please friends pray that the
Lord will keep me from my sin will
sanctify me holy and will use me largely
in his
service I listen to the to the
pitiful heart cry this missionary
another
missionaries and I realize that they
fought the same
battle others who say hi walked with God
for so long I’m too intelligent to have
to face such immature kinds of
Temptation I should have passed this
plane long ago you can walk with God for
25 years and suddenly be cast down into
a kind of Temptation and face a battle
in your life that you thought you would
never be called upon to fight you
thought you were too far along the
road have you fully persuaded yourself
that you want to sell out to God that
you want to resist all the pressures of
this
age you want to become a true Overcomer
yet in spite of your resolutions your
determined will your Keen desire you’re
praying you’re fasting you’re seeking
you still must honestly admit that sin
often overwhelms you things that you
despise you end up doing you feel almost
like it is an inevitable force that
pushes you into moods and actions and
indulgences of the mind and the body
things that you hate and then you wind
up perplexed your soul in turmoil and
you end up with an Indescribable
wretchedness and
despair Paul the Apostle knew something
about this kind of wretchedness Romans
what I hate that do I I know that in me
that is in my flesh dwelleth no good
thing for to will is present with me but
how to perform that which is good I find
not Paul was seeking a definition of
power over sin say what you will I
believe Paul faced the same battle that
you and I fac
he said for the good that I would I do
not but the evil which I would not that
I do oh Wretched Man that I
am Paul was a Wretched Man until God
gave him the same Spirit of revelation
of power over sin in his
life who shall deliver me from the body
of this death now I don’t want to get
into a deep theological discussion about
the two natures and about the Deep
meanings to be found here so suffice to
say that I believe Paul the Apostle is
speaking for himself about his own
personal battle and his own quest for
deliverance and power over
sin and from backsliders and from Saints
of all ages from David Wilkerson from
Hudson Tater from the lips of every
dying prophet of God from Paul the
Apostle
included this cry has gone out through
every generation where is my power over
sin I have seen my sin and my bondage
who shall deliver me from my
wretchedness who will set me free from
the body of this
death now my friend if you have not yet
fought this battle you are still an
immature
Christian this is a battle of prophets
this is a battle of those who seek the
deeper things of God this is the Battle
of those who want to go all the way with
the Lord and if you’ve been walking with
God this message already comes very very
close to describing the very battle you
fight right now
I thank God that there is
Deliverance man does not have to be a
slave to sin you do not have to live
your life in bondage to the habits of a
sinful urge there is a way out there is
Deliverance there is power over all
sin it’s not enough for me to tell you
that all power over sin is in Christ
Jesus no definition of this power will
work in your life and until we learn how
to get this power out of him into
US listen to what Hudson Taylor said he
said all the time I felt assured that
there was in Jesus Christ all I
needed all power over sin all victory in
him was the richness and fatness of
heaven but the Practical question was
this how to get it out of him he was
truly rich but I was poor he was strong
but I was weak I knew full well that
there was in the root the stem all the
Abundant fatness but how did get it into
my puny little Branch was the
question yes my friend Jesus Christ has
all the power over sin now I want you to
know something else guidance Divine
guidance is a person it is Jesus
guidance is a person victory over sin is
a
person I thank God through Jesus Christ
Our
Lord but how do we have that power for
our own
lives when a man faces a battle and he
wants a definition over sin what does he
do does he pray more fast more often
make resolutions try to be better so we
try to work up feelings of righteousness
and seek something of an outward
Holiness Hudson Taylor did he said I
prayed I fasted I strove I made
resolutions I read the Bible more
diligently but with all all without aail
every day almost hour every hour the
consciousness of sin oppressed me I knew
that if I could just abide in Christ all
would be well but I could not find out
how my friends absolute power over all
sin belongs only to Jesus Christ Our
Lord it is he who has come to destroy
the works of the devil all our power
over sin depends entirely on our faith
in his promise to live his life through
us see Paul said I am crucified with
Christ he didn’t say I’m being crucified
every day I don’t believe Paul died
daily I believe he died a thousand times
a day what he’s trying toci just get
Paul the apostles out the way so Jesus
can live his resurrected life through
me I am crucified with Christ
nevertheless I live yet not I but Christ
liveth in me and the life which I now
live in the flesh I live by the faith
not that Paul the Apostle Paul didn’t
have any faith didn’t even try to find
it Paul never looked for Faith he never
tried to strive for it he said the light
that I now live I live by the faith of
the Son of
God you know DAV doesn’t have an ounce
of
faith I haven’t even been looking for
it and never been trying to find Faith
because I’ve been letting Jesus exercise
his faith through me he knows the father
better than
I by the faith of the Son of God who
loved me and gave himself for me Paul
the Apostle found that his power over
sin came by a full and complete faith
that the life he lived in the flesh was
actually Jesus Christ Living Through him
and fighting off the enemy this is what
Hudson Taylor found this is what I found
but how to get my faith strengthened not
by striving after Faith but by resting
on the faithful one Hudson Tater went
outside and looked at a tree he saw the
branch and he tried to figure out how
that Branch got the life out he said the
branch didn’t move never did it think
it just stayed on the branch the very
fact that it was
in theine just rested there remaineth
yet a rest of the children of God he
said I will never leave thee there is
your rest you can strive in vain to rest
in him you don’t have to strive to rest
for he’s not
promised to leave you and or forsake you
so you accept that and appropriate it by
faith now hear me before I
close the most damning sin of all is
unbelief we make God a liar when we will
not take him at his word we lack power
over sin because we toy with our
unbelief he has promised to Quicken Us
in the moment of Temptation make a way
of escape and I’ve found what that way
of Escape is when you really believe
God’s
word when you see the mighty power of
Jesus Christ within you when the moment
of Temptation comes the way of Escape is
a quickening spirit sent by God through
the holy spirit that will last as long
as your
Temptation so that you can bear it and
every time I see it coming and you can
sense it the enemy comes in we’re not
ignorant of his devices he begins to
plague us then suddenly I start
perceiving Christ and I believe the
baptism of the Holy Holy Ghost is a
power of perception Paul kept saying all
that you might know that your eyes may
be open that you may
perceive this is a power perception that
Christ is here and the same spirit that
raised him from the dead and I picture
that the corpse laying there in the tube
the mighty spirit of God coming
down into that tube picking up that body
that corpse breathing life and I see him
Rise new dimension walking out of too
and I try to picture all that happened
in that Tomo I picture The Same Spirit
that raised him from the dead suddenly
in my moment of Temptation coming and
picking me right up right up and
suddenly in a new dimension Satan cannot
touch
me Satan cometh and haveth nothing in me
now that doesn’t make me a bit better I
don’t even try to be a bit better and I
don’t fight anymore I rest in his power
allowing Jesus Christ to live through us
and oh how ignorant we are of this
Mighty power within us everybody talks
about some Storehouse somewhere I’ve
heard preachers say oh if I can only tap
that Storehouse here it is it is within
us you don’t have to reach
out God hath been pleased that in him
should dwell all the fullness of the
godhead when I stopped to think of all
the power he has given us all power over
sin belongs to him you do not fight this
battle any more my friends resign and
committed to the Lord and allow Jesus to
Quicken you the same spirit that was in
Christ shall be in
you the same spirit that raised him from
the
dead you cannot say what will be will be
you cannot indulge in unbelief and
expect to get victory in your life
you’ve got to stand up and declare to be
to your own soul Christ has power over
this sin Christ lives in me Christ in me
will deliver me Christ in me Will Set Me
Free I can’t fight it it’s too big for
me but Jesus has the power so I’ll rest
in
him I have found a simple but sure
solution with this I close my life for
power for sin I’ve discovered the secret
of personal of power over personal sin
in my life you hear it well it’s this
simple stay close to
Jesus love him trust him believe in him
commune with him Draw N to him and he’ll
Draw N to you the answer to all power of
sin is to become possessed with
Jesus Oh
Hallelujah I’m a Jesus possessed man
possessed who are these that keep
backsliding who are these who grow cold
and indifferent who are these that
revert to narcotics in their sinful ways
who are these who like dogs turn to
their vomit to wallow who are these that
moan and groan that they can’t help
themselves that they’re being forced to
sin they are those who have lost their
first love they are those who walk a far
off those who dabble in the world and
who pray only in a crisis they are not
lovers of Jesus I tell you that lovers
of
Jesus have
found there’s victory over all
sin lovers of Jesus learn
just three promises if a man will take
just three promises any three promises
in the book and stand on it and believe
it God said it I believe it that settles
it and rest on his word exercise the
power of Jesus within
us you too will find your definition of
power for
sin I told last night with this I close
anymore when a drug addict comes to me
he says he has no more power when I walk
the streets whether it be a prostitute a
drug addict alcoholic we round them up
from the B and God sets them
free I hands on them it’s though Dave
Wilson steps right out of his body and
stands beside watches the Holy Spirit
Minister through
Christ just yield my lips and
pray that Christ will cause that Living
Water you know the Bible said Greater
Works than the shall you do who does the
Greater Works it’s Christ himself who’s
come back still doing the works only
he’s doing Greater Works now than he did
then because he comes back using our
bodies he has come back all he wants is
a body and I pray and God sets them free
and then I step back into the body and
rejoice and praise him for what he did
through a yielded body and God want you
to step aside in the moment of
Temptation he wants you to step out of
the body he want you to stand aside and
see his glory and then step back in when
the victory comes and rejoice in his
mighty delivering power heavenly
father we thank you there is all power
over sin glory to God the Devil is a
defeated foe he cannot touch a child of
God Lord give us that definition of
power for sin this
morning
