8:06trade towers
8:07fell in new york city there was also an
8:10attack
8:11against the pentagon in washington dc
8:15and there was one whole wall of one of
8:17the pentagon buildings there
8:20that was just totally blown and torn
8:22away
8:24but what's interesting about it is and i
8:26have this photograph in my files at home
8:29on the second floor of the building
8:33that was torn away
8:38on the second floor next to the wall
8:40that had been torn away
8:42was a stool about this high
8:45and on the top of that stool with debris
8:48all around the stool the wall now
8:51missing
8:52on the top of that stool was a bible
8:55lying open
8:57not one page had been torn there was no
9:00debris on the pages of the bible
9:03everything around it was destroyed but
9:06the word of
9:06god was intact
9:10on the seat of that stool
9:15the bible is the anvil that has worn out
9:17many hammers
9:20men have come and gone but the bible
9:22endures
9:23it is the word of god and nothing can
9:27change it
9:28nothing can alter it nothing can stand
9:30against
9:31it i'm here this morning to say to you
9:33ladies and gentlemen
9:34it is a serious thing to mock god
9:38it is a serious thing to mock his word
9:41it is a serious thing to mock
9:44his ways
9:48but the t.w barnes passed away a few
9:52years ago at 92 years of age he was a
9:55prophet of god
9:56he was a prophet among us he
10:00called me probably 15
10:03maybe 18 years ago i can't remember now
10:05exactly
10:07how many years but it was back there in
10:09that time
10:10frame he said that god had given him a
10:14vision he said brother stone king he
10:17said i saw
10:18a hill a high hill so on the top of that
10:21hill there was a church
10:24a white church there were no trees
10:26around it there were no shrubs there was
10:28nothing growing on the hillside
10:29up to the church it was just so obvious
10:33the church on the hill on the top of
10:35this hill
10:36and on the side of this church was the
10:38name of jesus flashing
10:40it was a jesus name church the name of
10:43jesus was flashing
10:44on the side of that church he said
10:46around the bottom of that hill there was
10:48a vast
10:49forest and he said you could hear i
10:51could hear
10:52charismatics in that forest worshiping
10:55and dancing and praising god
10:57he said but all of a sudden as i watched
10:59this vision
11:00he said those charismatics began to come
11:02out of the forest
11:04and he said they began to come up on
11:06this hill and they
11:07saw the name of jesus flashing on the
11:10side of this
11:11jesus name church he said they begin to
11:14make their ascent
11:15up the hill he said to me it was
11:18exciting because i
11:19felt that they were coming toward the
11:21revelation
11:23of the name of jesus and the oneness of
11:25god but he said as i watched
11:28suddenly there were men that came out of
11:30the jesus name
11:31church and began to walk down the
11:33hillside and reach their hands out to
11:35the charismatics that were coming
11:37out of the forest he said i thought they
11:40would take the hands of the charismatic
11:42and pull them to this jesus name church
11:46he said
11:46but to my dismay he said they turned
11:50with the charismatics and walked into
11:52the forest with them
11:55we have seen that vision come to pass in
11:58the last eight or ten years
12:02there is treachery afoot in this hour
12:06everything that can be shaken is going
12:08to be shaken
12:09and only that which cannot be shaken is
12:11going to remain
12:14i've never seen anything like what's
12:17going on right now
12:18in the 49 years i've been among you i've
12:21never seen or felt a shaking like the
12:23shaking that's going on right now
12:25but i tell you exactly what god is doing
12:27he knows the hearts of those among us
12:30who really love his truth and who really
12:32love his holiness
12:36and those that don't he's exposing them
12:39he's shaking them loose
12:41but that bunch that cannot be shaken
12:43loose the holy ghost is going to fall on
12:45them
12:45and they're going to run with it and
12:47they're going to reach our world that's
12:48exactly what's going on
12:50that's exactly what's happening in this
12:52day and so here i feel
12:54that this is that bunch that cannot be
12:56shaken loose
12:57would you clap your hands would you
12:59exalt the lord
13:01would you lift your voice after what we
13:04have experienced here
13:05this week jesus i
13:08praise you
13:09[Applause]
13:17i think you ought to do that again i
13:19feel something
13:21i can feel something
13:42jesus i mentioned
13:46i mentioned that brother t.d barnes t.w
13:49barnes was a prophet of god
13:52he was the most the most incredible
13:55individual
13:56i've ever known of people among us
14:00in the years that i have walked in this
14:02wonderful apostolic
14:04truth he always treated me
14:07like his own boy he did
14:10and he was the best friend i've ever had
14:12i talked to him
14:13all the time he asked that i speak at
14:17his funeral and i did
14:20but at the end of that all of that
14:22sister barnes
14:24sent me his bible and all of his sermon
14:27notes
14:28so i own his bible and i own his sermon
14:31notes and i have
14:32shirts ties various things that are very
14:35valuable to me
14:37but i didn't open his bible for i don't
14:40know
14:41it was quite a while after i received it
14:43i just
14:44i just didn't but one day i decided i
14:47would just
14:48pick up his bible and open it and read
14:51from it
14:52he had a lot of markings in it and he i
14:54noticed in the front of the bible
14:57between the pages there was something he
15:00had placed in between those pages
15:02and when i opened it it was it was
15:05opened
15:07and these pages were placed in there at
15:09the text
15:11in genesis chapter 12 with god told
15:14abraham
15:15those that bless you i will bless and
15:17those that curse you
15:18i will curse and in there he had
15:23cut out photos of arab leaders
15:27muslim leaders throughout the world who
15:29had vowed
15:30to destroy israel and take her off the
15:32map
15:34and what's interesting about it in the
15:37photos of these
15:38muslim leaders across their foreheads he
15:41had written with his own handwriting
15:43cursed genesis 12
15:471-3 and as i began to look through those
15:50photos
15:51osama bin laden was on there he's gone
15:54others are on there and some of them are
15:56missing and i keep watching
15:58because he was a prophet and those men
16:01are being
16:02deleted shall we say from the face
16:06of humanity in this hour
16:10but the barnes was the kind of
16:11individual that under
16:13brother urshan's administration is
16:15general superintendent
16:16brother urshan called for a world
16:19conference in jerusalem
16:21but the barnes went to that particular
16:23conference he was asked to speak there
16:26and he told me he said brothers tongue
16:28king when i got
16:30to jerusalem because they had flown
16:32non-stop from new york city to tel aviv
16:35and that's about a nine hours flight
16:39non-stop he said and they drove straight
16:41to jerusalem and he was
16:42he was tired he said so i went to my
16:45hotel room they had to sign me
16:47and he said in that room he said i just
16:50closed the door locked it and went over
16:52to the bed
16:53in my hotel room and laid down on my
16:56back on the bed because i was
16:58tired but the thing about him is
17:01years many many years ago god had called
17:04him to pray
17:05for the jews and for the nation of
17:07israel and he prayed
17:09faithfully for the jews the restoration
17:12of the land the nation of israel
17:14he prayed continuously for the house of
17:16israel in fact i know that jewish rabbis
17:18flew into midland louisiana to talk with
17:20him
17:21for just a half hour or an hour they
17:23wanted to hear his take
17:24on jesus being the messiah
17:28so he had this kind of platform
17:31shall we say with judaism
17:34and with the jews he said but brother
17:36stone king he said when i laid down
17:38on my back on that bed he said michael
17:42the archangel of the jews came
17:45into my hotel room to welcome me to the
17:48nation of israel
17:50he said when he walked in my room the
17:52power of god hit me
17:54threw me out of the bed on my feet on
17:56the floor
17:57and fire the color the rainbow raced
17:59around the ceiling

20:48you just shout the name of jesus for a
20:54[Music]
21:00moment
21:05oh
21:10the apostle paul wrote in galatians
21:141 8-9 he said though we
21:17are an angel from heaven preach any
21:20other gospel unto you
21:22than that which we have preached let him
21:26be accursed
21:29as we said before so say i now again if
21:32any man
21:33preach any other gospel unto you then
21:35that which he have received
21:38let him be accursed
21:43now here's the understanding
21:48we know that the apostle paul
21:52repented he believed in repentance and
21:54preached it
21:58we know that the apostle paul preached
22:00water baptism
22:01in jesus name for the remission of your
22:05sins
22:06he preached it we know the apostle paul
22:10had received the baptism of the holy
22:12ghost speaking with tongues
22:14as the initial evidence of the spirit of
22:16god abiding
22:17residing inside of a human being
22:20being the birth of the spirit
22:24we know he preached that it's in the
22:26bible
22:28we know he preached the oneness of god
22:31we know that he did we also know that he
22:35preached separation or holiness
22:37the apostle paul is the chief writer of
22:40the epistles
22:41outlining bible holiness
22:45for example first corinthians chapter 11
22:48god gives 15 verses to this business of
22:52uncut hair on women
22:55nowhere in his writings anywhere else
22:58does he go to such an extent
23:00to establish a truth 15
23:03verses he gives to that subject so i can
23:06authoritatively say here today
23:09upon the bible the word of god the
23:11recorded record
23:12that the apostle paul preached
23:14repentance baptism in jesus name
23:16the infilling of the holy ghost speaking
23:18with tongues the oneness of god
23:19separation from this world
23:21holiness he preached those things
23:26and paul wrote to the church in galatia
23:28and he said
23:29if the
23:34the we are an angel from heaven
23:38preach any other gospel unto you than
23:41that which we have preached
23:42let him be accursed
23:46as we said before so say and now again
23:48if any man preach any of the gospel unto
23:51you then that which ye have received
23:53from us let him be accursed
23:57this is what i've come to say here today
24:00these people who are leaving this
24:02holiness
24:03these people who are leaving the
24:05apostles doctrine
24:06repentance baptism in jesus name the
24:08infilling of the holy ghost
24:10they are cursed there is a curse upon
24:14them it has nothing to do with me
24:16it has nothing to do with the
24:17organization i belong to it has to do
24:19with the word of god
24:21it is written it is written it is
24:23written it's not
24:24my idea it's not my philosophy it's not
24:27my doctrine
24:28it is written in the word those people
24:31are cursed
24:32those people are cursed by god people if
24:35you understand what's going on
24:37in your heart and soul in this church
24:39service here today

25:46[Applause]
25:54jesus
25:58and those people those people those
26:01are preachers that have left this truth
26:04this holiness this bible holiness
26:06the apostles doctrine
26:10they'll never be back
26:13they're gone and here's why
26:16i'm saying this in the book of hebrews
26:20chapter 6 in verse 4
26:25paul says for it is impossible everyone
26:28say impossible
26:30for those who were once enlightened
26:32everyone say enlightened
26:34and have tasted say tasted
26:38of the heavenly gift and were made
26:39partakers
26:41say partakers of the holy ghost
26:45and have tasted there it is again say
26:47tasted
26:48the good word of god and the powers of
26:51the world to come
26:52if they shall fall away
26:56it's impossible to renew them again unto
26:58repentance
26:59seeing they crucify to themselves the
27:02son of god afresh
27:04and put him to an open shame
27:08now i've been in this 49 years as i've
27:10said
27:11i've heard that business about falling
27:14away
27:14i've heard it preached and taught a
27:15number of ways
27:17i've heard it preached that that means
27:19to fall away means to just terribly
27:21terribly backslide
27:23and if you do just terribly terribly
27:25backslide that you
27:27will never get back it's impossible
27:30well i've heard that taught
27:35and i've heard it preached however
27:38i have seen people through the years
27:41totally
27:42terribly backslide and stay backslidden
27:45for years
27:46and pray through live it for the rest of
27:49their lives
27:50and i preached their funerals and they
27:52made it
27:54they made it so it cannot mean
27:57to fall away cannot mean then to simply
28:01terribly backslide
28:03what does it mean i did a little study
28:08i went into the greek the word
28:11the words fall away comes from the greek
28:15word papato
28:16which means to fall aside
28:19to apostatize to fall away
28:22it means to be in apostasy
28:26abandoning of what one believes
28:31it means to become an apostate or a
28:33renegade
28:34it means to apostatize to abandon
28:38one's faith
28:42you cannot abandon anything unless you
28:45make the decision to do so
28:48it's the choice you make and the choices
28:51you make are the only things you possess
28:53in this life
28:59why did any of us ever repent of our
29:02sins
29:04at an altar like this one because
29:07we heard repentance preached powerfully
29:11by an anointed
29:12man of god and the convicting power of
29:16god
29:16convicted us that we needed to repent
29:21and we repented and something miraculous
29:24happened because we felt
29:28a lifetime of sin slip from
29:31us and we stood up forgiven
29:38why did any of us ever get baptized in
29:40jesus name
29:41or get re-baptized in jesus name again
29:44because
29:45we heard baptism in jesus name preached
29:49by an anointed man of god and again the
29:52convicting power of god
29:54persuaded us convinced us that we had to
29:57be baptized or re-baptized
30:00in jesus name in water for the remission
30:04of our sins why did
30:07any of us ever receive the baptism of
30:10the holy ghost speaking with tongues
30:12because again it was preached by an
30:15anointed pastor
30:16evangelist some preacher with anointing
30:19preached
30:20that you had to receive the baptism of
30:22the holy ghost
30:24and speak with tongues it was birth of
30:26the spirit
30:27we got it because it was preached and
30:30the convicting power of god persuaded
30:33us that we had to have the baptism of
30:36the holy ghost
30:42that was the hardest thing for me of all
30:44of this business of being converted to
30:47apostolic christianity
30:48i used to think how does one speak in a
30:51language they don't know
30:53and that was difficult for me because
30:56i've got the kind of
30:57brain that they used to tell me oh when
31:00you get the holy ghost it just
31:01bubbles and then they would tell me it's
31:04like seeing a ball of fire
31:06another guy told me there was the
31:08husband of my sunday school teacher in
31:10an apostolic church like this one
31:12said it's like being plugged into 220.
31:15well i've been shocked at 110. i know
31:17for sure i don't want to be plugged into
31:19220.
31:21so i come to church looking for a ball
31:24of fire
31:25220
31:28bubbles i've had the holy ghost 49 years
31:30the holy ghost has never
31:32bubbled one time in 49 years
31:35so i come to the altar and all of these
31:38things and i'm praying
31:39and they and it was amazing i had more
31:42hair than i have now
31:43and they put their hands on my head and
31:46mess up my hair and there was a basement
31:48in a parsonage
31:49that mean there were splinters in the in
31:51the in the pews there were cobwebs in
31:52the ceiling from the ceiling it wasn't
31:54even finished off
31:55the carpet was worn out the altar rail
31:57shook
31:58ah and here i am in this basement
32:02and they're praying with me and they
32:03would they would take my tie off
32:05and i was voted the best dressed man in
32:07the evangelical free church to where i
32:08used to go
32:09so i would wear the best clothes i had
32:11to this pentecostal church because i
32:14didn't want to offend jesus and he might
32:15give me the holy ghost so i wore the
32:17best i had every night to that basement
32:19after every service every altar service
32:22everything went into the cleaners the
32:24next day i looked like i had crawled out
32:26of a garbage can
32:27it was in the summer in no air
32:29conditioning in july in iowa
32:32hot humid then they would take they take
32:35off my jacket they would massage my
32:38shoulders while i was praying for the
32:40baptism of the holy ghost
32:43i can't find that anywhere in the bible
32:46it's nowhere to be found and then
32:50someone would say
32:51hold on someone over here say let go how
32:54does one
32:54hold on and let go at the same time i
32:57don't know how to do that
32:59what then they'd say yield yield to what
33:02i don't know what you're
33:03talking about i finally decided a lot of
33:06people among us get the holy ghost
33:08not because of us but in self-defense i
33:11mean they get it
33:12because they've got to get it they've
33:14just got to get it and escape
33:16all of this but one night october 6 1963
33:21and i would i would i would you know
33:24because english has always been a major
33:26for me
33:26and i've always worked with enunciation
33:28pronunciation diction all of that stuff
33:30and i majored in english and drake
33:32university all of that
33:34english is not difficult for me english
33:36is a beautiful language if it's spoken
33:38correctly
33:39it's a beautiful language so when i
33:42would get to praying
33:43and i would begin to lose control of
33:45what i was saying
33:47it sounded funny to me strange and i was
33:49i was out of control see
33:51and that's exactly what you have to get
33:54out of control
34:03so when i would begin to get stammering
34:05lips i would
34:06stop lick my lips
34:09and swallow and i just swallowed the
34:12holy ghost
34:13i mean he was he was right
34:16there and then i'd begin all over again
34:18hallelujah hallelujah
34:20but the moment i began to lose control
34:21that i'd repeat this
34:23one night i got so weary i didn't care
34:27what it sounded like i didn't care and i
34:30said i was down on my knees because i've
34:32always been
34:33i've i'm an i'm an introvert made
34:35extroverted by the power of the holy
34:37ghost that's really who i am
34:38there's there's a shy side to me you
34:40wouldn't believe that now but
34:42it really i never had a speech class in
34:43my whole life i was scared to death of
34:45that in high school
34:46i lied my way out of it but once i got
34:47to the holy ghost i couldn't lie anymore
34:50so everything changed i had to get
34:52involved
34:59i suppose it's good to laugh at oneself
35:00i suppose it is
35:03but i i was down quietly
35:07just down on my knees at the altar and
35:09the holy ghost said to me you could
35:10reach a little higher
35:13and i thought no this is okay jesus i'm
35:15okay right here
35:16that's okay and and i felt the holy
35:19ghost lift from me a little bit
35:21so i got up on my knees and raised my
35:22hands a little higher
35:24and then i prayed and the blessing of
35:26god came on me more powerfully and then
35:27i said
35:28the holy ghost said to me you could
35:29reach a little higher to me
35:31and i'm thinking no this is fine this
35:34i'm fine right here i'm okay right here
35:37and but i could feel him lift and leave
35:40so i i stood up a little higher and
35:43lifted my arms
35:44higher he said again you could lift
35:45higher you could you could reach higher
35:47i finally stood up on my feet and was
35:49reaching and of course
35:50i felt a little bit inconspicuous and
35:52that's the shy side of me
35:54and there's i still have that there are
35:56certain things i don't like to do
35:58i do them because i have to do them i'm
36:00expected to do them but i don't like it
36:02and i won't tell you what they are but
36:04there are things i don't like to do
36:06i have to do it because i'm a minister
36:08and people expect it at me but there are
36:09things that i'm uncomfortable with
36:11it has to do with the fact that there's
36:12a shyness in my personality
36:14so finally i'm standing here and the
36:18holy ghost said to me
36:19you could reach higher and well i'm
36:21already on my feet
36:22so i thought there's nothing what else
36:23can i do so i went up on my toes like
36:25this and
36:26but i could only stand there just so
36:28many seconds that i had to come down
36:30and finally i said jesus i have reached
36:32to you as high
36:33as i can possibly reach there's nothing
36:35more i can do you have got to come down
36:38to me
36:38and at that moment the holy ghost fell
36:41on me
36:42the holy ghost fell on me and i burst
36:45out
36:45speaking with tongues and i spoke with
36:48tongues for over an
36:49hour and a half it just poured out of me
36:54i spoke in different dialects different
36:56languages i was flat on my back
36:58i had snow white pants on a dark brown
37:02sport coat a nice time lying on that
37:05dirty cement floor
37:07and when i stopped speaking with tongues
37:08i looked up and brother butcher my
37:10pastor
37:10was leaning over the back of the pew
37:12looking down at me and i opened my eyes
37:14i said brother butcher
37:15i've got it i've got it he said i'm
37:18afraid you do boy
37:20so they took me over to the house to eat
37:23after church it was it was near midnight
37:26something like that and they asked me to
37:28say grace and i said
37:29i started speaking with tongues i went
37:31home and knelt down beside my bed to
37:33thank
37:34god for giving me the holy ghost and i
37:36began to speak with tongues
37:37it was just it just flowed it just
37:39flowed out
37:41the next morning when the alarm clock
37:42went off to go to work i just shut the
37:44alarm off and stayed in bed at eight
37:45o'clock and then i called the office
37:46where i worked
37:47and i said i'm not coming in today they
37:49said are you sick i said no they said
37:51what's wrong i said you'd never
37:53ever understand but because i had prayed
37:56so hard to get the holy ghost
37:57when i finally got it i declared a
37:59national holiday for myself
38:00and i stayed home from work with pay
38:10i listened to merle ewing i listened to
38:12sister mangan i played those lps
38:14i spoke with tongues i practiced the
38:16holy ghost all day long
38:19so what i'm saying is i've got it
38:25it's 49 years later and i've still got
38:28it
38:28look at your neighbor and say i've got
38:30it
38:33look back and say and i'm going to keep
38:35it
38:36throw your hands in the air for just a
38:38moment and let your voice out
38:40because there is a joy here there is a
38:42revelation here
38:44there's a connection here this is the
38:46greatest experience
38:48of an entire lifetime
38:52uh
38:55why do we believe why do we believe all
38:58of this
38:59because it was preached to us by the
39:01convicting power of
39:03god he convinced us we needed to repent
39:06get baptized in water in jesus name
39:09receive the holy ghost speaking with
39:11tongues why do we believe in the oneness
39:13of god
39:14because again it was preached and by the
39:15convicting power of god we were
39:17convicted and saw
39:19with the revelatory power of god the
39:21truth and we embraced it
39:23why do we practice holiness why do we
39:25live this way why do we dress this way
39:27why do we act this way
39:29because we are not of this world we're
39:32only passing through here
39:34we do not look like this world we do not
39:36act like this world we do not talk like
39:38this world we do not think like this
39:40world because we are
39:42not of this world where only i reiterate
39:44passing through
39:45we are born of that new jerusalem which
39:48is above
39:49that's where we belong that's where we
39:51relate jesus is the king of kings and
39:54the lord of lords
39:55he is the lord of our lives the law of
39:58the lord is perfect
39:59the lord the takarisa the law of the
40:03lord
40:03is perfect
40:09so what i'm saying here everything we
40:12have from god we got it by conviction
40:15by his convicting power that these
40:17things are
40:18true they are our convictions
40:22and we preach them we teach them we
40:25live them because we receive them from
40:29god himself by his revealing
40:33revelatory power to us personally
40:38if we ever willfully walk away
40:41from any one of these convictions that
40:45god has given to us
40:47you will never get them back again
40:51it is impossible
40:55example when i was pastoring there was a
40:59man in the church
41:02he lived for god for some time and for
41:04whatever reason
41:06he backslid and people don't backslide
41:08overnight it's
41:09it's if they've been looking in the
41:10wrong direction for a long time
41:13and that's why they eventually go there
41:14because you're going to go where you're
41:15looking
41:17the thing you give yourself to is what
41:18you're going to become
41:21the people you associate with that's
41:23what you're going to become
41:25it's as inevitable as the stream merging
41:27with the ocean at last
41:29it's only a matter of time
41:36this man backslid didn't take the people
41:38the guys on the job where he worked very
41:40long to figure out
41:42he wasn't living it like he had been
41:45preaching it to them
41:46and they jumped in there began to mock
41:48and scoff what he had told them
41:50and this guy jumped in there with him he
41:52said yeah he said that holy ghost it's
41:54just a bunch of jibber jabber never
41:55really did anything for me
41:58he joined them time came and went
42:02as it does we had a meeting
42:06and he came to the meeting and he came
42:08to the altar shed a few tears
42:10and spoke a few words in tongues
42:14he stuck around for about a month and
42:16then he was gone
42:17he never did never did to this day ever
42:19come back
42:21but then i won another girl in the
42:24church
42:24in those years from the local high
42:26school we in fact we turned the whole
42:28high school upside down
42:29won a bunch of those kids but there was
42:30one girl 16 years of age she wonderfully
42:33wonderfully got the holy ghost and she
42:35lived it
42:37but she had had a very dysfunctional
42:40life style being raised
42:43and um she could sing i've never heard
42:46anyone sing like she could sing she
42:47could bring the house down she was
42:49absolutely incredible
42:50but there was a point at
42:54i went back on the field and did some
42:55evangelistic work for a while
42:57and someone else came in and took the
42:58church and during that time she backslid
43:02so again it didn't take the people on
43:05the job but she worked very long
43:07to understand that she wasn't living
43:09what she had told them
43:11and so they began to mock and scoff and
43:15point fingers and make fun she stood to
43:18her feet and she said listen
43:20don't you judge those people by the way
43:22i'm living they really have what they
43:23say they have it's really true
43:25i'm just not living it but it's really
43:27real
43:29in other words she didn't live it but
43:30she never lost her convictions that it
43:32was true
43:33she was not willing to give up her
43:35conviction she knew in her heart
43:36this was the truth she didn't live it
43:39but she would
43:40not abandon her convictions that god had
43:43given her
43:44later she came and prayed through and
43:45she's a pastor's wife today
43:51the difference is the man willfully
43:53walked away from the convictions and let
43:55go of them
43:56she never walked away from the
43:58convictions she didn't live it but she
44:00never
44:00lost her convictions that the truth was
44:02the truth there was a woman in the early
44:0470s i was in tulsa oklahoma preaching
44:07we had a move of god there were 70 some
44:09that got the holy ghost 50 were baptized
44:10there was a beauty queen that came from
44:12i think
44:12it was florida and got the holy ghost
44:15there were miracles of healing in that
44:16meeting that was back in the 70s it was
44:18amazing new spread of that move of god
44:21all over
44:22well there was a woman in
44:26tulsa oklahoma that had been out of the
44:29church
44:2925 years she had not been to church in
44:3225 years
44:34she heard about the move of god and she
44:37came to the service one night
44:39and she was a stately looking lady she
44:42really was dressed in a
44:43really nice black looking uh suit
44:46woman's suit dress it was just she was
44:49just stunning
44:50and you could not tell by looking at her
44:53that she was not one of us
44:55in 25 years she'd never cut her hair
44:59so when she came to the altar and down
45:01over here
45:02you would have thought she was just one
45:04of us but i knew that she wasn't because
45:06of what they had told me
45:07that she had been the church in 25 years
45:11i knelt down in front of her began to
45:12pray with her in about five or six
45:14minutes
45:15that woman burst out speaking with
45:17tongues as the spirit of god
45:19gave her the utterance and when she
45:22began to speak with tongues she had been
45:23born with one ear death
45:25after 25 years of not coming to the
45:28house of god
45:29and now she's praying back through god
45:31opened that deaf ear
45:33as a sign to her that he had accepted
45:36her
45:37she didn't live it she didn't come to
45:38church but she never lost the
45:40convictions
45:43that it was true
45:46people it all begins with holiness
45:50that's where it begins they let go of
45:53holiness and then slowly but surely the
45:56doctrine
45:56erodes it just keeps going down
46:00and they end up on the roman road
46:04if thou shalt confess with their mouth
46:06the lord jesus
46:07and shalt believe in their heart that
46:08god hath raised him from the dead
46:10thou shalt be saved
46:13watched people for 49 years i've watched
46:16preachers
46:18that have left this holiness this
46:20doctrine
46:22they never get back because they can't
46:25get back
46:29revelation and deception
46:34feel exactly the same
46:37because they both come from god
46:43you remember what it was like when
46:45someone first witnessed to you about the
46:46holy ghost speaking with tongues
46:48and how you need to be baptized in jesus
46:50name
46:52you remember what it was like the
46:54revelation the excitement the glory
46:57it was just amazing the freedom that you
46:59felt
47:01the revelation was the blessing of god
47:05revelation comes with blessing from god
47:10but deception comes with the curse of
47:13god
47:13but they both feel exactly the same
47:17for example it is written
47:23in second thessalonians chapter two
47:27because they receive not the love of the
47:28truth that they might be
47:30saved and for this cause what cause
47:36because they didn't love the truth god
47:38shall send them strong delusion
47:40that they should believe a lie that they
47:43might be
47:43damned who believe not the truth but had
47:46pleasure
47:47in unrighteousness in other words
47:51and this happens over and over
47:54someone's on the phone you're on the
47:56phone talking to someone
47:58a relative someone else in the church
48:02someone across town from a church that
48:04is
48:04less dedication consecration than the
48:07church where you go
48:09and you begin to talk like i don't know
48:11if all of this
48:12is really all that important i don't
48:14know
48:15if god requires all of this and god
48:18stops
48:19by and he listens to that conversation
48:24and uh he walks on and a month or two
48:26later
48:27you're on the phone again some preachers
48:28on the phone look i don't i think we
48:31need to loosen up here a little bit we
48:32don't need to be in any kind of bondage
48:34we need to we need to make this thing
48:36relative to the world
48:38this gospel has never been relative to
48:40the world
48:42what a bunch of nonsense that is
48:44[Applause]
48:47and they talk back and forth i think
48:49we're going to loosen up a little bit
48:50here
48:51i don't think that all this is really
48:53all that necessary
48:56and god is listening and so he stops and
48:58he says
49:00you want to believe that i'll help you
49:02to believe it
49:04and he sends a strong delusion
49:08and they believe a lie and they're just
49:11as excited about that delusion and that
49:14lie that god has sent
49:16them as they were the truth in the
49:18beginning
49:19and they all say the same thing if you
49:21talk to them i just feel so
49:22free i just feel they all say the same
49:24thing i just feel so free
49:26but it is the freedom of a curse
49:30that god has sent upon them people hear
49:33me
49:33i said that jesus not long ago jesus if
49:36you have to drag me you drag me
49:38but don't let me miss the rapture
49:40whatever you do
49:41don't let me miss the rapture
49:45because there's nothing out there that
49:47can equal this
49:49there's nothing out there that can equal
49:51this there is nothing out there that can
49:53equal this
49:54people this is all that matters this
49:58is all that matters this is all that
50:01matters
50:01this is all that matters nothing else
50:04matters
50:06because if you have if you are living
50:08for god and this truth is in your heart
50:10alive
50:11if jesus comes this afternoon you will
50:14leave this world
50:15people if you've got this truth in your
50:18heart this apostolic truth
50:20the apostle paul said though we are an
50:22angel
50:23preach any of the gospel unto you than
50:25that which we have preached let him be
50:27accursed
50:27if you are living the gospel that the
50:30apostles preached
50:31you can lay your head on a pillow at
50:33night and know that if you close your
50:35eyes in death
50:36you are going to wake up in a place
50:38called heaven
50:40if the rapture takes place you will be
50:42lifted
50:44out of that bed into the arms of god in
50:46the rapture
50:47people it will be worth it all when
50:51we see jesus nothing else is going to
50:53matter but that
50:55you can take this whole world but give
50:57me jesus
50:59give me jesus somebody get me to him

51:24somebody's going to get the holy ghost
51:25somebody's going to get delivered
51:27somebody's going to be miraculously
