00:51 We are back and we wish you a happy middle of the afternoon.
00:55 We have to segment our days. 00:56 Happy morning; happy worship service; happy right after lunch 01:00 and now happy a little later after lunch. 01:05 And Happy Sabbath, indeed. 01:07 This couldn't happen if it was not for the Sabbath. 01:10 And we praise the Lord for the Sabbath Day. 01:12 When I was pastoring, my largest church was 2,142 members. 01:17 And we would leave the house in the morning about 6 AM 01:21 and not get back home till about 11 PM. 01:23 We spent the whole day 01:25 either in meetings or praising the Lord or worshiping. 01:28 But I love listening to sermons on Sabbath. 01:31 It is almost the best thing to do on Sabbath. 01:34 Perhaps better would be visiting the sick 01:36 and giving somebody some cheer. 01:37 But other than that, listening to the Word of God 01:39 is a wonderful thing to do. 01:41 And the preacher of the Word of God is one who 01:44 is the pastor of this church. 01:46 He is the general of this particular pulpit 01:48 and we are just borrowing it from him. 01:51 Our pastor, our friend John Lomacang, who I have known 01:53 41 years. Yeah, we were little children together. 02:01 But when I was pastoring the Bethel church 02:04 in Brooklyn he and Angie were dating. 02:07 And Angie kept him on the straight and narrow then 02:10 as she does now. And I tease him 'cause 02:13 he said: "I used to sleep on your sermons. " 02:15 I said: "Well I've got news for you: I sleep on yours now. " 02:18 But not really. We have great respect for each other 02:21 and great love for each other. 02:22 And he is a preacher of the Word and a fine singer. 02:26 And he told me not to take too much time 02:27 in introduction which he does not need 02:29 because he needs the time for his message. 02:31 So I want to do that. Safe to say that he is a man of God, 02:33 a preacher of righteousness, a good and dear friend, 02:37 and one who takes every opportunity to lift up the name 02:41 of Jesus. His sermon today is entitled 02:44 Termites. Yeah... so do with that what you will. 02:49 But it is Termites. 02:50 And the song he's going to be singing is Had It Not Been 02:54 For... Had It Not Been. It's just Had It Not Been. 02:57 And I said: "John, you want me to sing for you? " 02:59 He said: "No. " 03:03 So we're going to pray and then we'll turn the rest of the time 03:05 over to our pastor and our friend, Pastor John Lomacang. 03:08 Shall we pray. Father God, 03:10 we just praise you and thank you so very much 03:12 for the privilege we have of serving You. 03:14 We thank you for the power of the Word. 03:17 And we thank you for the various talents that You have 03:19 given Your servant. We ask from You for Pastor John 03:23 heaven's very best so that he can be not only a shepherd 03:26 of the flock but a feeder of the sheep. 03:30 And we pray, dear God, heaven's very best for him. 03:33 Bless us just now as we wait upon You. 03:35 In Jesus' name, Amen. 03:57 Just suppose God searched through heaven 04:03 and He couldn't find 04:07 one willing to be 04:15 the supreme 04:18 sacrifice that was needed 04:27 that would buy 04:30 eternal life 04:33 for you and me. 04:38 Had it not been 04:42 for a place 04:45 called Mount Calvary. 04:50 Had it not been 04:54 for the old rugged cross. 05:02 Had it not been 05:06 for a man 05:08 called Jesus... 05:14 then forever 05:18 my soul would be lost. 05:26 I'm so glad 05:30 He was willing 05:33 to drink that bitter cup. 05:38 Although He prayed 05:42 "Father, let it 05:45 pass from Me. " 05:49 And I'm so glad 05:53 He didn't call 05:56 heaven's angels: 06:02 "from these hands 06:05 pull the nails that torment me. " 06:14 Had it not been 06:17 for a place 06:20 called Mount Calvary. 06:26 Had it not been 06:29 for that old rugged cross. 06:37 And had it not been 06:41 for a man 06:44 called Jesus... 06:49 then forever 06:53 my soul would be lost... 07:04 then forever 07:08 my soul 07:11 would be 07:14 lost. 07:31 Amen! 07:38 Let us pray. 07:41 Our heavenly Father, we begin 07:44 by thanking you 07:48 for not only the hill called Mount Calvary 07:51 but for the empty tomb. 07:53 And Lord, now as we open Your Word 07:55 we pray that You will open our hearts 07:57 to hear what the Spirit is going to say to the church. 08:03 In Jesus' name I pray, Amen. 08:10 If you have your Bible, the scripture reading... 08:15 I'm saying that like I'm in church on Sabbath morning. 08:19 'Cause we always say "the scripture reading. " 08:23 And then I often say: "If you don't have your Bible, 08:25 it's on the screen. " But it's not on the screen today 08:27 so I hope you have your Bible. 08:31 What scripture reading can you use for a sermon 08:35 entitled Termites? 08:37 I've done my best to find one that I think is appropriate 08:40 for the subject of consideration. 08:43 Very short: Psalm 11 and verse 3. 08:48 Psalm 11 and verse 3. 09:01 Very short scripture. "If the foundations 09:04 be destroyed, what can the righteous do? " 09:10 "If the foundations be destroyed, 09:14 what can the righteous do? " 09:18 It is quite out of the ordinary for me to preach 09:21 on a subject that I know little to nothing about: 09:24 termites. 09:27 Prior to studying about termites 09:31 my knowledge about termites can be summarized 09:35 in one simple statement: 09:37 don't ignore termites. 09:42 I had no idea that there was so much 09:45 information about termites, David, until I began 09:49 to research. And what I'm going to share with you today 09:53 are the 8 most important things that I believe 09:56 that I have learned about termites. 09:57 And I hope that you can learn the very same lesson. 10:02 Now it is not my intention to give you 10:06 logistical information about termites, 10:09 although that will happen. 10:12 But as a preacher, we can find spiritual parallels 10:15 from almost anything. 10:20 The scientists say - fact #1 about termites. 10:25 Termites are not all the same the scientists say. 10:28 And I quote: "Thus far scientists have been able 10:34 to describe more than 3,000 different 10:39 species of termites with hundreds more waiting 10:44 to be researched. " That's just termites. 10:47 They say... the scientists say... 10:50 "to mistake a termite for an ant 10:53 will result in total loss of property. " 10:56 Summarizing, they say: "Make sure that you know 11:00 what you are dealing with. " 11:03 Make sure that you can tell the difference 11:05 between a termite and an ant. 11:08 What kind of spiritual parallel can you get from that? 11:10 Here's what the Lord gave to me. 11:13 Because it looks like a termite does not necessarily 11:16 mean it is a termite. Come on, say amen to that. Amen. 11:21 Everything that looks like 11:23 and everyone that looks like a creature of righteousness 11:27 is not necessarily a creature of righteousness. 11:32 As we get closer to the end we've gotta keep in mind that 11:36 Satan has been preparing for his final push 11:40 against the kingdom of light. He has been working and 11:43 experimenting for 6,000 years. 11:47 And if ever there was a time that he can duplicate and 11:50 create somebody to look just like a creature of righteousness 11:54 I would suggest to you today that Satan is at the height 11:58 of his game. Ellen White says in the book Darkness Before Dawn 12:03 page 36 paragraph 1... she says: 12:06 "Antichrist is to perform his marvelous works 12:10 in our sight. So closely will the counterfeit resemble 12:16 the true that it will almost be impossible to distinguish 12:21 between them except by the holy scriptures. " 12:28 In other words, if you have not discovered 12:30 or determined that that's a termite and that's an ant 12:34 and you go based on the way you feel 12:36 you can easily be deceived 12:38 in this day and in this generation. 12:40 We just came back from Washington, D.C. 12:44 and we saw clergy of every hue, of every 12:48 conviction, of every walk of life. 12:50 And I want to say to you: Satan has, and I'm not 12:53 saying that any particular preacher there was a deceptive 12:56 one, but I can almost guarantee you 12:58 when the Bible says "many false Christ's and many 13:01 false prophets will arise" 13:02 this is the day and age where many false prophets 13:05 and many false Christ's have arisen. 13:10 The scientists say that they could not conclude 13:13 that it is or isn't a termite until they took the time 13:18 to do the research. One of the dangers we face 13:21 in drawing conclusions today about things that we haven't 13:24 taken the time to do the research on 13:26 is that we are easily deceived when we are taking the opinion 13:30 of somebody else... 13:33 especially when it comes to the truth of God's Word. 13:37 If ever there was a time that the people of God 13:40 need to be people that are in their Bibles researching 13:43 the Word of God for themselves, 13:45 2015 is the hour. What do you say? Amen! 13:49 This is the day and age where deception 13:50 is at an all-time high. 13:52 And it amazes me that we have so many Bible translations. 13:56 You can have a Bible on the iPad, the android, 14:00 the Samsung, the laptop. 14:02 You can have many translations that at the click of one button 14:06 you can do 40 hours of research. 14:08 How can there be so much knowledge 14:10 and so much ignorance at the same time? 14:14 Because a lot of people are taking the word of somebody 14:16 that said they did the research. 14:17 We live in an ignorant society because most people come to 14:21 the conclusion about what they believe 14:23 based on someone else's research and not their own. 14:27 This is the hour to get into the Bible for yourself. 14:29 Do your own research. Know what the Bible says 14:32 for yourself. Be like those in the New Testament church. 14:36 They searched the scriptures daily to see for themselves 14:40 whether these things were so. 14:42 This is the hour to get into the Bible ourselves. 14:45 We live in an ignorant society... 14:47 not because the knowledge is not there 14:50 but because people don't want the knowledge that IS there. 14:54 You do that exam. When I was on the plane... 14:58 I just was on fire this weekend. 15:00 You know, I always say either you are on fire 15:03 for the Lord or you will be on fire by the Lord. 15:06 I choose to be on fire FOR the Lord. 15:09 And so when I get on the plane my wife says: 15:12 "Well, who you sittin' next to? " 15:14 She always asks me when she's not going with me 15:16 "Who are you sitting next to? " 15:17 And I always tell her that I witnessed to somebody 15:19 that I sat next to. Because I believe that if God 15:22 allows somebody to sit next to me 15:24 they ought to know that I work for somebody that's mightily 15:27 important. Amen? Amen! 15:31 My God does not have an economic problem. 15:34 My God is not concerned about the Pope's next move. 15:37 Not concerned about the Pope's next visit. 15:40 My God declares the end from the beginning 15:42 and from ancient times things that are not yet done. 15:45 Come on, say amen somebody. Amen! 15:47 So when I sit down next to... I sat down next to a Baptist man 15:50 just on this last trip, and he said: "What do you do? " 15:54 Lord... don't ask me that question. 15:57 "What do I do? " Let me tell you what I did. 15:59 So it's not what do I do but what am I about to do 16:04 is the real question. 16:05 So I took him through... I took him through Daniel 2, 16:10 Daniel 7. I took him through America's history 16:14 from 1776 Declaration of Independence, 16:18 1781 Bill of Rights, 16:19 the fall of the Roman Empire 1798, 16:22 the rise of America during the roaring 20's, 16:24 the return of Vatican City to Rome, 16:28 not the return but the giving or the gifting of Vatican City 16:31 to Rome. And when I was all done he began to ask 16:34 questions. He said: "Now I'm a Baptist, but I want to say 16:37 you gave me a whole lot to think about. " 16:40 Amen? Amen. One plants, another waters, but 16:45 God gives the increase. 16:47 God will never bless a Bible study you never gave. 16:52 We've got to get to the place where we test everything 16:55 that we accept for ourselves. 16:58 When King Saul tried to get David to accept his research 17:02 about good armor David's response was: 17:04 "I cannot walk with these 17:06 for I have not tested them. " So David took them off. 17:10 Anything that we have not tested we've got to take it off! 17:14 Any truth... We have a lady in our Sabbath School 17:16 and her husband. I don't want to point out them by 17:19 giving you their names, but I'm always amazed 17:21 at the end of our Sabbath School class... and right now we're 17:23 studying the United States in prophecy... 17:26 Some folk go to church they don't hear about that stuff. 17:29 You come here you're going to hear about it. 17:31 The United States in Bible prophecy, 17:33 Rome in its final movements, the antichrist. 17:36 I said the antichrist. 17:38 That subject is being voted out even in some of our own pulpits 17:42 but not in this one. Amen! 17:46 And every time we get into our Bible study 17:48 you know what she says at the end of the class? 17:49 She says: "Pastor, every time I open my Bible 17:54 I'm always erasing what I used to believe 17:57 and putting in what I now believe. " 18:01 The entrance of God's Word brings light. What do you say? 18:05 And Satan likes ignorance? Do you know why? 18:07 Many are going to be lost not because the information 18:11 is not available, but people don't want the information. 18:14 And there's a text in Acts chapter 17 verse 30 18:16 that says it this way: "The times of ignorance God winked at 18:20 but now commands all men everywhere to repent. " 18:24 These are not ignorant times 18:26 and I must say: "God is no longer winking. " 18:29 What do you say? Amen. 18:30 Information also, though, does not necessarily mean 18:34 that it translates to salvation. 18:37 Because Paul says in the book of Timothy, II Timothy 3 he said: 18:40 "We live in a generation that will ever be learning 18:43 but never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. " 18:46 Ever learning! You can learn a lot 18:49 but never be able to come to the conclusion about truth. 18:53 Brad Walker that I was traveling with told me something 18:56 very interesting about the Smithsonian Institute. 18:59 The Smithsonian Museum. 19:01 And he said he found out that you can go to the Smithsonian 19:05 Museum and if you spend one second on each exhibit 19:09 it'll take you 18 years 19:11 to see everything in just that one museum. 19:14 That's not counting the Aerospace Museum. 19:17 That's not counting the Library of Congress. 19:20 We are inundated with information 19:22 but the information that we need is from God's Word. 19:24 What do you say? Amen! This is the only information 19:27 that is going to take us from where we are to where 19:30 God wants us to be. 19:31 Listen to some statistics. 19:33 Every day 500 years worth of videos are watched on YouTube. 19:37 And I can almost guarantee you most of them are not religious. 19:41 More than 7 million songs are downloaded every day 19:45 on iTunes. I can almost guarantee you most of them 19:49 are not religious. When I was growing up 19:52 television used to go off at midnight. 19:54 Come on... anybody remember that? 19:56 You young folk relax. 19:59 Television used to go off with the National Anthem. 20:01 Remember that? 20:04 Not any more... the devil got wise. 20:06 Now it's 24/7 and then add to that Twitter, 20:09 Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, on demand... 20:13 See we no longer use technology. Technology uses us. 20:19 For that was Satan's plan. Darkness Before Dawn page 36 20:25 paragraph 2 Ellen White says: 20:27 "Satan employs every possible device 20:31 to prevent men from obtaining a knowledge of the Bible 20:35 for its plain utterances reveal his deceptions. " 20:40 That's why it always amazes me when I see young folk 20:42 in church on their phones. They leave here just as 20:45 ignorant as they came. 20:47 And they're not looking up Bible texts in most cases. 20:51 But that's what the devil's plan is. 20:53 Get them into the mode where their devices 20:56 control them and not they control their devices. 20:59 And if you don't know who's in control of these devices 21:02 let me give you an example: iTunes. 21:05 iPad, iMac, i... i... i. 21:13 Somebody's in charge of what's going on behind the scenes. 21:17 Listen further: we complain when our cable box and our satellite 21:21 and our Internet stops working. 21:23 Don't you think God complains when the church is not working? 21:26 Amen? What we have forgotten is 21:29 the Bible always works. 21:32 If you get connected to the Bible, there'll never be 21:35 a power outage in your life. 21:37 That's right. Hallelujah! 21:39 We are so content with our cell towers 21:43 we have forgotten about our Strong Tower. 21:46 You ought to say amen to that one. That's deep. 21:50 Verizon, Sprint, and AT&T will break you financially 21:54 but we won't ever get a bill from God for the minutes 21:58 we spend in our Bible. Praise the Lord! 22:03 Isn't that nice? Young people, it's time to stop sending texts 22:07 and start reading texts. Amen! 22:13 Do like the Thessalonians! 22:15 The Bible says the Word of God effectively works 22:19 in you who believe. The reason why you don't see 22:22 the Word of God transforming lives 22:23 is because it's on the shelf. 22:25 It's not in the hearts and lives of young people today. 22:28 Now some older people fall in the same category 22:31 but I want to tell you: the devil is not upset about 22:33 how many Bibles you have. 22:34 He's upset about how many Bibles you READ! 22:38 I said this years ago but it fits right here: 22:40 the devil... If your Bible is falling apart, 22:43 chances are your life isn't. 22:45 But if you're walking around with a brand new shiny Bible 22:48 the devil's not upset with you at all. 22:51 Right? He doesn't care about how many translations you have. 22:53 He's concerned about YOUR translation. 22:58 People talk about all the translations they have. 23:00 Well what difference is it making to you? 23:02 Once person once said... He said: "It used to take me 23:05 two years to wear out a Bible. " 23:07 Somebody said: "Well that's good, but how long does it take 23:10 for you to wear out a Bible now? " 23:11 Some people have never worn out their Bibles 23:13 'cause their pages are still stuck together. 23:17 That's why scientists say... Well, not the scientists but 23:21 until you get connected to your Bible 23:24 you'll never know the power that is in your Bible. 23:27 This is the hour to unplug your devices 23:29 and plug in your Bible. 23:31 Found a very interesting fact about termites. 23:33 Scientists say that termites are the most successful group 23:37 of insects on earth... termites. 23:39 Listen to why they say that. 23:42 Termites operate in unity. 23:44 You think we could learn something from termites? 23:47 The scientists say termites don't work alone. 23:50 Although each has the same ability, 23:53 they work most effectively when they work in groups. 23:56 Do you wonder why the devil likes to keep us 23:58 from being unified? 24:00 We are most effective if we can work in unity. 24:04 They go on to say: "Their colonies range in size 24:08 from a couple of hundred in- dividuals to enormous societies 24:12 with several million individuals. " 24:14 And this blew my mind. They said: "The queen termite 24:19 has a lifespan as long as 50 years. " 24:27 Don't worry about it... you'll recover on Monday. 24:31 But here's my point: if termites could operate in unity 24:34 why can't the people of God operate in unity? 24:36 Do you know why? You know why termites operate in unity? 24:38 Because they have a common goal. 24:40 They focus on something other than themselves. 24:43 They don't eat each other up! They focus on something else 24:45 to eat. If we can chew more freshly on the Word of God, 24:51 we, too, will be a more unified people. 24:54 That's why David the Psalmist says: "How good and how pleasant 24:57 it is for brethren to dwell together in unity. " 25:02 I want to say this: sometimes I travel and people give me 25:04 pamphlets. And just this weekend 25:07 I saw somebody was giving out a yellow booklet there in 25:10 Washington, D.C. and on the front it had the title 25:13 Present Truth. Now let me make a point. 25:15 Now matter how present your truth is 25:18 a lack of unity will always undermine your present truth. 25:23 'Cause people want to see what the truth has done for you. 25:26 Not just what the truth says 25:27 but what the truth has done for you. 25:30 If the truth has done nothing for you, it's going to do 25:32 nothing for me. And the only way I can know 25:34 how the truth has impacted your life 25:36 if I see the difference in your life. 25:40 Anybody can preach a sermon. 25:42 One old African American lady told me... she said: "the devil 25:45 can preach a good message. He just can't live it. " 25:48 And I said to her: "Man! That's common sense. " 25:51 She said: "No, it's not common sense. If it was common 25:53 everybody would have it. " 25:56 So it's not what we say that's a threat to the devil 26:00 but it's how we live. 26:02 And some people say: "Now what is the General Conference 26:05 going to do about the lack of unity in the church? " 26:07 Well the Bible says unity is not the concern of those 26:10 who are at the top. Unity should be YOUR concern. 26:13 As far as it is possible with YOU, be at peace with all men. 26:18 I don't need somebody to tell me from the GC that I need to be 26:21 unified. If I get on my knees every day - 26:24 Amen somebody - and study God's Word every day 26:26 and put my pride aside and work on settling my difference 26:30 between... like they did on the Day of Pentecost... 26:32 I believe in preparation for the Latter Rain. 26:35 We've got to do what they did for the Early Rain. 26:37 We've got to get together and stop striving about who's 26:39 going to be in what position. 26:41 And the only position we all need to be in is on our knees 26:43 saying: "Lord, if You're going to get me in, do WHATEVER 26:47 You need to do to make sure I get in. " 26:50 There's so much struggle nowadays I don't even want to 26:54 mention it. Women's ordination: I don't even want to mention it. 27:00 There's so much political maneuvering post General 27:04 Conference to almost guarantee that it gets 27:06 passed the next time. 27:07 God is going to indict some of our brethren 27:10 for the hours they waste and the monies that they put. 27:13 Instead of saving souls and giving evangelistic series 27:17 we invest money to fight against each other. 27:20 Lord have mercy! 27:23 Doesn't make any sense. 27:25 And I'm not throwing stones. 27:26 I'm a part of the organized church. 27:29 I'm an ordained pastor 27:30 but I don't always like what I see. 27:32 And I've been raised by a mother that's very vocal 27:36 and a dad that's very vocal. 27:38 I was not raised in a quiet family, 27:39 but I've taken that for the Lord. I'm going to speak out 27:42 on behalf of those things that are right 27:44 and those things that are true. And we are not in a position 27:47 where we can close our mouths when we see the sword coming. 27:50 As I said many years ago and I say it again: 27:53 "Your blood is not going to be on my hand. " 27:54 I'm going to tell you what you need to hear 27:56 so when the time comes the Lord said: "Did you say? " 27:58 And I said: "I DID say. " 28:02 But all the time we waste... all the time we waste... 28:05 If termites can be together, why can't the people of God 28:08 remain united? You know what I've discovered? 28:11 When you look in the animal kingdom... I've discovered this 28:14 about animals... animals and insects 28:19 they get together in their groups 28:22 and they all have a common goal. 28:23 They work together... and they look alike. 28:27 All termites look alike except for when the 28:30 scientists discover that there are 3,000 different species. 28:33 They all look the same to me, right? 28:35 A termite is a termite. 28:36 But I've discovered humans are the only part of God's creation 28:40 that look alike but are vastly different on the inside. 28:49 That's why being a Christian is not a design, it's a choice. 28:55 We've got to choose... we've got to choose 28:57 to be what God wants us to be. 29:00 The most miserable person in the end 29:03 is going to be that person that never really enjoyed 29:05 Christianity and never really got to enjoy the world. 29:09 I want to enjoy this thing called Christianity, 29:11 what do you say? Can I talk to this group over here? 29:13 They think I'm ignoring them. 29:15 I want to enjoy this thing called Christianity. 29:17 Can you say "Amen" over here? Amen! 29:19 God wants us to enjoy. If He came to give us abundant life, 29:25 why am I trying to find abundant life outside of Christ? 29:30 You can't find it. 29:31 You're not going to find outside of marriage 29:34 what God intends to be only IN marriage. 29:40 And just in case you don't think it's joyful to be a Christian 29:43 the Lord says: "At My right hand are joys forever more. " 29:47 Amen! The third thing I learned about termites is 29:49 termites attack living things. 29:52 Termites like to attack living things. 29:54 The scientists say: "Termites like healthy things. 29:59 If there's no life present in it, 30:02 termites are not interested. " 30:04 Termites don't eat dead things. 30:07 Termites don't like rotten things. 30:09 One of the reasons why Jesus was attacked: 30:12 because Jesus is the Living Word. 30:15 And here's my point: if you have a living Christian experience, 30:19 you can guarantee that you're going to be attacked 30:21 by Satan's evil angels. 30:25 Let me qualify that. 30:27 I'm concerned about Christians that have never been attacked. 30:33 If you live in a world where termites are and you're a piece 30:36 of wood, and you walk around saying: 30:40 "I have never been attacked by termites" 30:42 they don't think much of you! 30:45 Am I telling the truth? 30:46 You see, if you are no threat to the devil's 30:48 kingdom he's not going to attack you. 30:51 He's going to walk right by you. 30:53 That's why the devil... That's why termites... 30:55 And the other thing about termites: termites don't like 30:57 plastic. If you're plastic, you'll never have to worry about 31:00 the devil ever attacking you. 31:02 People say: "I never had a conflict. " 31:04 "I don't have any problems at all. " 31:06 Well, my Bible says all those that live godly in Christ Jesus 31:09 shall suffer persecution. 31:14 Jesus IS the Light of the World. 31:17 There are no "was statements" about Jesus 31:19 except He was on earth at one time and He will be 31:23 coming back to get us. What do you say? 31:25 But everything about Jesus is an IS. 31:27 He IS the Way, He IS the Truth, He IS the Life. 31:30 He IS the Living Word. 31:32 Anything based on the light of God's Word will be attacked. 31:37 Don't be surprised if you believe the truth 31:41 and you get attacked. 31:43 Don't be shocked. Sons and Daughters of God p. 280 31:46 paragraph 3 the servant of the Lord says: 31:51 "Those who will not accept the last solemn message of warning 31:55 sent to our world will pervert the scriptures. 32:00 Then they will attack the character and make false 32:05 statements in regard to the faith and doctrines 32:09 of those who advocate Bible truth. " 32:13 They're going to attack your character. 32:15 I meet a lot of Christians, but just bring up a topic 32:18 they don't agree on and see how long they remain Christians. 32:22 Like Danny was talking about: "You're under the law. 32:24 You're under that burdensome thing. " 32:26 You know, either we are law-abiding Christians 32:29 or we are breaking the law. We are law-breaking Christians. 32:32 I'd rather be a law-abiding citizen 32:34 than one that's violating the law of God. 32:36 But just bring up those topics and you will begin to see... 32:39 you'll begin to see how genuine people really are 32:42 until you touch the thing that seems to be darling to them. 32:48 And then you'll discover how deep their Christianity 32:50 really goes. Fourth thing I learned about termites: 32:54 termites look for the vulnerable. 32:57 Termites are subterranean. They start at the foundation 33:01 and work their way up. 33:03 Are you ready? They begin at the foundation 33:07 and work their way up. 33:09 And I would suggest to you that termites are running 33:12 loose in America. 33:13 They have been eating away for decades 33:16 at the foundation of our religion. 33:18 They have been eating away... chewing up the foundation 33:22 of marriage. They are digesting the foundation of our freedoms. 33:26 Termites never work to strengthen. They always 33:29 work to weaken. And by the way, 33:32 when you're in your home sleeping termites are busy 33:35 eating your house while you are asleep. 33:38 That's why Peter the apostle said: 33:40 "Now it is high time to awake out of sleep 33:43 for now is our salvation nearer than when we first believed. " 33:48 Termites are amazing creatures 33:52 and their chief purpose is to weaken the structure gradually. 33:56 Let me say that again. 33:57 They don't weaken a structure immediately. 33:59 On statistic says if a termite starts to eat 34:03 a 2x4 that's 9 feet long 34:07 it'll take 50,000 termites eight to nine weeks 34:10 to finish that piece of wood. 34:13 They weaken it gradually. 34:16 They weaken it how? Gradually. 34:18 And silently they work at the foundation. 34:21 In our church the devil has caused some people to be 34:25 off track and off of God's agenda and off of God's program. 34:30 And slowly but surely those things that are truth, 34:34 the whole truth, and nothing but the truth 34:37 Satan has been working to slowly but gradually weaken 34:41 the foundation. I got a letter from a young man. 34:44 I still have the envelope at home on my desk. 34:46 A young man sent me a letter. He said... 34:49 He said: "I used to be Adventist. 34:50 I no longer believe in inspiration. I don't believe 34:54 we need to have... I don't believe in the necessity of 34:56 the judgment. I don't believe in the 2300 days. " 35:01 And so he said: "Please send me your conclusions 35:06 about your position on the 2300 days - the judgment. " 35:09 And so I said to my wife: 35:11 "I am not putting anything in writing and send to anybody. " 35:15 So with all this technology I said: "Let's go on the 35:18 Internet and try to find his phone number. " Sure enough, 35:22 the Lord allowed me to find his name AND phone number. 35:25 And I called him and he said to me: 35:27 "You know you're the first pastor to respond. 35:29 I've sent letters to the BRI and the GC and that pastor 35:33 and this president, and nobody would talk to me. " 35:35 I said: "Well, tell me your position. " 35:37 I said: "Are you Adventist? " Said: "No, I used to be 35:39 deceived I'm no longer deceived. " 35:44 I said to my wife: "This is going to be a doozy! " 35:48 So I said: "Well tell me your position. Why don't you think 35:50 there's going to be the necessity of the judgment? " 35:52 He said: "Doesn't the Bible say that when we are in Christ 35:55 we pass from death to life? " 35:57 I said: "Of course it says that. " 35:58 "That means you get off of death row and you get on life row. " 36:02 That doesn't mean you're in heaven yet. Amen somebody. 36:05 You've got to start walking a new life. 36:08 That's why you've got to watch out for these translations 36:10 you read. In the NIV there's Romans chapter 12 I believe... 36:14 Romans chapter 8 it says: "There is therefore now 36:18 no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus. " 36:20 You know what they took out? They took out the second part 36:23 "who walk not according to the flesh 36:25 but according to the Spirit. " 36:26 You've gotta walk differently when you are in Christ. 36:29 So he said: "Now what about? " He said... So he began. 36:32 I said: "Now OK, you don't believe in the judgment. " 36:33 I said: "What about the text: 'For the time has come 36:38 that judgment must begin at the house of God? ' 36:40 I Peter 4:17. What about that one? " 36:42 "Well you know, that doesn't apply to us. " 36:44 What about "We must all appear before the judgment seat 36:47 of Christ? " "Well, that does... " 36:49 What about: "God shall bring every work into judgment 36:52 with every secret thing whether it be good or evil? " 36:54 Now you know, after about six texts he got angry. 36:58 I said: "No, the problem is not that the Bible doesn't 37:00 teach the judgment. The problem is you don't believe it. 37:02 And because you don't believe it does not negate the truth 37:06 of God's Word. " And you know what he said to me? 37:08 He said: "Do you know what SDA means? " 37:10 SDA means sad, deceived, and ar- rogant. That's what it means. " 37:13 I said: "No! That's what it means to YOU. 37:16 SDA means I'm getting ready for Jesus to come. " 37:19 And he got all arrogant and loud. And I said: "Honey, 37:22 the Bible says "Avoid foolish and unlearned questions 37:26 knowing that they do gender strife. " 37:28 And I hung up the phone really slowly so he wouldn't hear 37:32 the dial tone until eventually. 37:34 Sometimes you've gotta know when to hold them, when to fold them, 37:37 know when to... Am I telling the truth? 37:41 Don't argue with people that don't want the truth! 37:43 Because they want to argue... they don't want the truth. 37:49 My good pastor C.D. Brooks I always make reference to this. 37:52 Look at my sermons for that man. He's a man of wisdom. 37:55 He said: "Don't spend money chasing the devil's rabbits. " 38:01 God wants us to use our energies in these last days 38:04 to strengthen the foundation not to weaken the foundation. 38:08 Satan will work as gradually as he could 38:11 until the foundation is so weak that it just falls apart 38:15 all by itself. And so many that were among us 38:19 have gone out from us and are attacking the foundation 38:23 of the Sabbath, the Spirit of Prophecy, 38:25 the state of the dead, the 2300 days. 38:27 That's all right. If you want to be lost, that's fine. 38:29 I'm going to hold on to God's truth and I'm going to 38:31 make it by God's grace into that eternal kingdom. 38:34 What do you say? Amen! 38:35 I don't care about who "don't" want it. I WANT IT! 38:38 And truth is truth. Like my good friend Chris Hudson said: 38:41 "Truth is the truth whether you like it or not. " 38:46 Did you know that the Sabbath 38:50 has been under a weakening process for nearly 6,000 years? 38:55 I listened carefully to Pope Francis' heavy emphasis 38:58 on climate change and how important it is for us to be 39:00 stewards of this earth. And I heard something in that. 39:03 Let me tell you something: when you read the Bible 39:06 and when you read the writings of Ellen White - 39:09 Can I say that here? Yes! 39:11 When you read the Bible and when you study the writings 39:14 of Ellen White... My wife and I read every day 39:16 together Patriarchs and Prophets. We're going now 39:19 through the Exodus. When you read words of inspiration 39:25 your mind is so calibrated 39:29 that somebody may hear climate change 39:32 and you hear something altogether different. 39:34 When I heard climate change because of the knowledge that 39:37 I have by studying God's Word I said: "Uh-huh! 39:40 The impact on the climate is another phrase that is the 39:44 entering wedge into the intro- duction of Sunday legislation 39:48 in America. That may sound like a stretch, but let me 39:51 qualify what I said. 39:52 Are there fires in California? 39:55 Are there fires and floods all over the world? 39:57 Are there earthquakes? Are there storms and tempests? 40:00 Are the seas and the waves roaring? 40:04 Whether you believe there's climate change or not 40:06 something's melting in the north. 40:07 This entire world is falling apart. 40:10 All of creation is groaning. Even creation itself 40:14 needs to be rescued from the sinful climate of this earth. 40:18 So when he begins to call on the world saying that 40:21 we have a common goal, we have a common cause that 40:24 every one of us must do our part to preserve the earth... 40:28 Now I don't believe in messing up... I don't believe in 40:30 mowing down grass and burning up things. 40:32 I do believe that each one of us has a right of stewardship 40:36 to the things that God has gifted us with. 40:38 But the Lord is not coming back to live down here! 40:42 He wants us to go and live up there. Amen somebody. 40:45 Seems like we want to get some nice green grass 40:47 for the Lord when He comes back. He's not walkin' down here! 40:55 Almost made me talk like a New York guy: 40:56 "He ain't walkin' down here. " 40:58 We're walking up there. Amen somebody? Amen! 41:01 But I listened to what he said and when I came home I said: 41:03 "I knew there was a quote. " Listen to what Ellen White says. 41:06 Maranatha 176 paragraph 5. She says: 41:09 "THERE IS calamity by land and sea. 41:11 Property and life are destroyed by fire and flood. " 41:14 That's a fact. But she says: "Satan puts his interpretation 41:19 upon these events and they, leading men, 41:22 think as he would have them 41:25 that the calamities which fill the land 41:28 are a result of Sunday breaking. 41:31 Thinking to appease the wrath of God 41:33 these influential men make laws enforcing Sunday observance. 41:40 They think that by exalting this false rest day 41:43 higher and still higher compelling obedience to the 41:46 Sunday law - the spurious Sabbath - they believe that they 41:50 are doing God service. " 41:51 When in fact they are doing Satan's service. 41:56 Can I be clear? Yes! 41:59 Gotta keep in mind all this infatuation with Pope Francis... 42:03 God bless him. He's a nice gentleman... 42:05 I'm not attacking his "gentlemaness. " 42:07 I'm not attacking his kindhearted... 42:09 He's probably got family and people that love him. 42:11 I'm not attacking that at all. 42:13 But he represents an earthly representation of a Satanic 42:17 power from beneath. That's the system he stands upon. 42:20 That's a fact... that's not speculation. 42:23 "The dragon gave him his power, 42:26 his seat, and his great authority. " That's a fact. 42:28 We've got to let Babylon be clearly seen. 42:31 If Babylon is not clearly revealed, how can we call 42:34 people out of something that we have not said anything about? 42:37 That's right. 42:39 We don't even talk about that in the Adventist church 42:40 hardly any more. We have sermons on Sabbath that sound like 42:43 T.D. Jakes wrote it or Joel Osteen. 42:46 Sermons that massage the saints. 42:49 I don't want to massage anybody. I want to wake you up. 42:52 Amen? Amen! Jesus IS coming again. 42:55 We ought to preach the message that has been entrusted to us. 43:01 We have to keep in mind clearly that this very day that's being 43:03 pushed by Rome... they didn't just begin pushing this. 43:06 They began hundreds of years ago. 43:08 From pagan Rome to papal Rome the transition there... read it 43:11 in history. You know what I like? 43:13 I could get among men that are highly intellectual 43:16 in the halls of Congress. I was... God said: "John, 43:20 you belong here. " Now I don't want to be a Congressman. 43:23 That's not what I mean. But these men that are movers 43:26 and shakers and they are hired to develop laws that 43:30 govern and direct our nation 43:31 they need to know about what prophecy says. 43:35 So when I sat down in that cham- ber there with that Congressman 43:37 I was not flinching in the face of his authority. 43:41 As I said to the prime minister there in St. Lucia... 43:44 My wife and I were invited into his... He's the president 43:48 of the country of St. Lucia. When I walked in he said: 43:50 "How come you're not afraid? " 43:52 I said: "Sir, I must say with respect 43:55 I answer to an even higher authority. " Amen! 43:58 And he looked at me with a stern face 44:01 and then he broke out and he said: "I like that. " 44:04 But you know why he invited us there? 44:06 Because he said: "I travel all over the world... " 44:09 This is when we went down to St. Lucia... 44:11 He said: "I travel all over the world, and when I come home 44:14 I want to have peace and quiet. And when I turn on my television 44:18 I want to watch something that makes sense, and I watch 3ABN. " 44:22 Amen? Amen! 44:26 The network that is not just Christian programming 44:29 but we make sense. But a lot of people don't know. 44:33 A lot of Roman Catholics don't know. 44:34 And I talk about my family. 99% Catholic my family is. 44:37 But many of them don't know that Rome openly admits 44:41 what Christian leaders refuse to admit. Here it is: 44:46 the Catholic church admits that Sunday is not based on 44:50 the Bible. Here's the fact, just one of the quotations. 44:54 Rev. Steven Keenan, The Doctrinal Catechism 44:57 page 174. Here's the quote: 44:58 "Have you any other way of proving that the church... " 45:01 that's the Roman church... "has power to institute festivals 45:05 of precepts? " And here's what the Roman church says: 45:08 "Had she not such power 45:11 she could not have done that which all modern religionists 45:16 agree with her. She could not have substituted 45:20 the observance of Sunday, the first day of the week, 45:23 for the observance of Saturday, the 7th day. " 45:27 And get this: "A change for which there is 45:30 no scriptural authority. " 45:32 Rome says that. But Pentecostals say: 45:35 "I can find a verse. " 45:38 Rome says: "Keep looking. It ain't in there. " 45:42 You want to hear the rest of the story? 45:43 Turn into A Sharper Focus on Wednesday night. 45:46 I'm dealing with that right now: the first day texts in the NT. 45:49 Only 12 of them. Eight have to do with the resurrection. 45:52 You only have 4 shots to find a new day of worship 45:54 and it ain't in there. It ain't in there. Amen? 45:57 "If you love Me, keep My commandments. " 45:59 So now with all this bad news is there any good news? 46:01 Well, there are three good things about termites, 46:03 and here they are: motor homes don't have termites. 46:11 The scientists say that termites go after things 46:15 that remain still. Termites count on their targets 46:19 to remain unmoved. 46:22 Movement is the greatest weapon against termite infestation. 46:27 Come on Adventist movement, say Amen. Amen! 46:30 It's time for Seventh-day Adventists to get rid of this 46:32 idea that we are a church. We're not a church... 46:34 we are a movement. Amen? 46:36 Church: God never intended for this to be static. 46:39 He wants us to be alive... a living organism. 46:42 On earth this church ought to be moving and shaking 46:45 and reverberating with the truth of God's Word, 46:47 unashamedly echoing from north, south, east, and west 46:51 the best message to get the world ready 46:53 for the coming of the Lord: the three angels' messages. 46:56 What do you say? Amen! 46:58 This is a movement. Satan does not want us to move. 47:00 That's why he creates so much internal conflict. 47:03 You know, you can only move if you both agree in the same 47:06 direction. All these issues that we are fighting with 47:09 are hindering our direction. 47:13 And if you don't believe he's trying to do the same thing 47:15 to us that he did to the children of Israel. 47:18 They were in the wilderness forty unnecessary years. 47:26 But God's not going to let that same thing happen to us. 47:28 Come on somebody, say Amen. 47:29 "He that shall come will come and shall not tarry. " 47:32 That's why we have to get back to what Paul the apostle said 47:36 "Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended... " 47:38 Philippians 3:13-14... 47:40 "but one thing I do... " You can hang around on that 47:43 issue and argue all you want... 47:45 "but one thing I do: forgetting those things which are behind 47:48 reaching to those things that are ahead 47:51 I am going to press toward the goal for the prize of the 47:54 upward call of God in Christ Jesus. " What do you say? 47:56 Amen! And let me make it clear about the goal. 47:58 The goal is not to make it to heaven. 48:00 The goal is to be more like Jesus. Amen! 48:03 Some people just want to get to heaven. 48:04 "Lord, hurry up and come and take us to heaven. " 48:06 And they are as mean as a bulldog with five heads. 48:09 You ain't goin' nowhere. 48:13 You gotta learn to love each other down here. 48:14 Come on, say Amen. That's right. 48:16 God's not comin' back to take people up into heaven 48:18 that haven't settled their issues between themselves. 48:21 Some folk... some... 48:25 Some folks - I'm trying to narrow this down 48:28 by being kind. I'm just going to say it - 48:30 Some Adventist folk think that because we have a clean colon 48:35 that our hearts are clean. 48:46 Amen! 48:50 You better be careful. Vegetarians, I tell you... 48:52 when those vegetables dry they go up real fast. 48:56 You better have more than a diet, you better have 48:58 a clean heart. Come on, say Amen. Amen! 48:59 David didn't pray about a diet. 49:01 He had the right diet, but he asked the Lord. He said: 49:03 "Purge me with hyssop and I shall be clean; 49:06 wash me and I shall be whiter than snow. " 49:09 He said: "Create in me a clean heart, O God, 49:12 and renew a right spirit... " 49:15 We need some folk with right attitudes. 49:17 Stop bein' police at potlucks. 49:26 Some people... Visitors come and they barely get to know 49:29 what the church teaches. You ask: "Is there any butter 49:31 in that? " Ain't nobody going to hell for butter. 49:37 Amen. Amen! But they're going to hell without Jesus. 49:42 You'd better be concerned about the Jesus in you 49:44 rather than the butter in that! 49:45 Amen! Get our calibrations right. 49:48 And some folk are so sour. Some Adventists need to go 49:52 some place where they can learn how to be joyful. 49:55 David knew it. He said: "Restore to me the joy 49:58 of Your salvation. " If you've got the truth, 50:01 you ought to notify your face. 50:04 Let your life... Don't be giddy, but you ought to be 50:07 excited about the message God has given to you. 50:10 When you become a sentinel... Ellen White uses that phrase 50:15 sentinel. She says the Adventist church has been 50:17 put in the world as a sentinel. You know what that means? 50:20 You guard the gates from any intrusion of darkness. 50:24 We forget what we've been called to do. 50:26 You guard the gate from any compromise of the doctrine 50:29 that stands on God's Word totally. 50:33 Watchmen. You've gotta be awake! 50:38 You can't come to church with an attitude. 50:39 You've gotta come to church with the right spirit. 50:41 PRAY for God to create in you the right spirit. 50:45 But until you realize and admit that you are defenseless 50:49 against Satan's termites you'll never pray the prayer 50:51 that David prayed about the need for a new heart 50:54 to be created. And by the way, 50:57 God does not want us to recite the verses. 51:00 God wants us to allow those verses to permeate 51:03 and find a living spark of life in our hearts 51:06 that we may experience really the transforming grace of God. 51:09 What do you say? Amen! Got one more. 51:12 Got two more actually. 51:13 Termites avoid trees that have been scorched by fire. 51:17 Whoo! You didn't get it. 51:21 Scientists say that even if a tree is slightly scorched 51:25 by fire the termites lose any interest in attacking that tree. 51:29 A tree that has been touched by fire 51:32 is the best defense against a termite attack. 51:36 Do you think that's why the Lord says 51:38 to the church in the last days: "Buy of Me gold tried in the... 51:41 fire? " Do you think that's why the Lord allowed 51:43 the cloven tongues as a fire to fall on the church 51:47 in the early stage at the inauguration of the church? 51:51 Let me tell you something brethren: we are all... 51:53 we are all in need of the transforming touch 51:56 of heaven's fire. Amen. We need to pray for the Spirit 51:59 of God to come and burn out all the old stuff 52:02 and make room for the new stuff. 52:04 Termites will look at that scorched bark 52:09 on the base of a tree and instantly lose any desire 52:14 to even be near to it. 52:16 If our lives are filled by the Spirit of God, 52:18 there'll be transforming experiences in our lives 52:22 and people will know that we have been touched by the 52:24 consuming power and the presence of the indwelling Christ. 52:28 You know, I tell you what: a Christian that is on fire 52:32 for the Lord can't help but allow his/her light to shine. 52:36 Amen! In Selected Messages or Special Testimonies 52:40 book 3 page 265 paragraph 2 she says, 52:46 speaking about the Day of Pentecost: "The appearance of 52:49 fire... " What does that mean? "signifies the fervent zeal 52:52 with which they would labor 52:55 and the power which would attend their work. " 52:58 The fire doesn't just mean to get out the old. The fire means 53:02 God has not called us to be waiting for His coming. 53:06 God has called us to work for His coming. 53:10 He hasn't called us to wait. That's why I'm so glad about 53:12 what Pastor C.A. said. We are so giddy happy 53:15 at 3ABN about The Blessing IS on the "GO! " 53:18 We are LOOKING for things to do 53:20 about how to get this gospel out. 53:21 That's why when we appeal to you about supporting... 53:23 We're talking about investing in something that will not fail. 53:28 The gates of hell will not prevail against the gospel. 53:31 You want to invest? Invest where moth and rust 53:34 does not corrupt and thieves cannot break in to steal. 53:41 We need the cleansing fire of the Lord. 53:44 Can the church say Amen? Amen! 53:46 We need the sanctifying fire of the Lord. 53:48 We need the fire to proclaim the gospel 53:51 with such a conviction that somebody would hear what you're 53:53 saying and say: "I've got to have whatever you have. " 53:55 My wife and I went to a car rental place. 53:58 I forgot... I don't even know where it was a few months ago. 54:01 Wherever... You pick a place; that's maybe where we were. 54:04 And I walked up to the counter. The young lady said 54:07 "What brings you here? " And there was some big religious 54:10 convention that was going to happen in the town. She said: 54:13 "Oh, are you part of Pastor So-and-So's convention? " 54:15 I said: "No. " I said: "I'm here to preach at a different church. 54:18 I'm going to do a concert. I'm speaking in the morning 54:20 and doing a concert in the evening. I'd like to invite you 54:22 to come. " She said: "What do you do? " I said: 54:23 "I'm a pastor" and I gave her a Bible study. 54:25 And the young lady stood there. Forgot all about even checking 54:28 me and she said: 54:32 My wife said: "What's wrong? " She said: "I have not met 54:34 anybody in a long time that is so on fire for Jesus 54:38 like your husband is. " 54:40 She said: "I know I've gotta work but I just want to hear 54:42 MORE. I just want to hear more. " Amen somebody? 54:45 Amen! The reason why people don't want to talk to you 54:48 because you're not saying the right thing. 54:50 Don't talk about us... talk about Jesus. 54:51 If He is lifted up, He will draw all men unto Himself. 54:57 That's what He said. 54:59 That's what He told me. 55:01 Amen. Praise the Lord, sister. 55:03 And the last thing I learned about termites - 55:05 this is powerful... this is powerful - 55:07 this is called complete protection. 55:08 Say it together. It's called what? Complete protection. 55:11 The scientists say if a house has been infested 55:15 by termites the best remedy is to completely cover that house 55:21 and fumigate it to destroy every termite 55:24 on the inside. Now you might think: now where 55:26 is he going with this one? Yes, this is simple. 55:28 There's only one cover that we need to fumigate the sin 55:31 in our lives. We need to be covered 55:33 by the blood of the Lamb. Amen? Amen! 55:37 There's a whole lot of sin in your life 55:39 and in my life... in our lives and in God's house. 55:42 But we are saying: "Lord, we cannot do anything about 55:45 this sin infestation but to be covered by the blood 55:48 of the Lamb. " David the Psalmist says: 55:50 "Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, 55:53 whose sin is covered. " 55:56 The church needs to be covered. 55:58 We don't talk about that. You hear some... 56:00 First thing people talk about: "Who's your covering? " 56:02 Study the Bible. If you're not covered by the Lord, 56:05 you're working for yourself. 56:07 Am I telling the truth? You've gotta have coverage. 56:10 You gotta have heaven's coverage. 56:11 Life insurance; fire insurance; 56:14 and Holy Ghost success insurance. 56:17 God will cover us. The song writer was well 56:20 when he said: "Covered with His life... 56:22 whiter than snow. 56:24 Fullness of His love then shall I know. 56:27 My life of scarlet, 56:28 my sin and woe... 56:30 covered with His life... " We are what? 56:33 "whiter than snow. " 56:34 Oh there are termites, brothers and sisters, in the world. 56:37 And it's going to get more rampant as we get closer 56:40 to the coming of the Lord. 56:41 But keep this in mind: with all the 3,000 species 56:44 of termites that there are we only have to remember 56:47 that there's only one Lord that we need. 56:49 One Lord, one faith, one baptism. 56:53 One God and one Father of all. 56:55 We don't need to worry about the 3,000 species. 56:57 Just keep your mind fixed on Jesus. What do you say? 56:59 Amen! Just in case you think I made a big deal about termites 57:03 remember this last fact: 57:08 termites are too small not to be taken seriously. 57:13 If you think the issues in the church are too small, 57:16 you need to wake up. If you think conflict is too small, 57:19 you need to wake up. If you think all the things 57:21 that keep you from being a faithful Christian 57:23 are too small, you need to wake up. 57:25 Jesus can get the termites out 57:28 and the Holy Spirit in if you simply allow Him to 57:30 come in. God bless you. |
