hallelujah god we want to thank you and praise you magnify you exalting your name above every other name for there is no other name other than your name healing that's in your name salvation that's in your name strength that is in your name the name that even makes devils tremble hallelujah oh apostle paul let us know that the lord said every need shall bow things in heaven things in the earth and things under the earth and every tongue confess that he is the lord oh when he says every need things in heaven personalities in heaven in heaven we've got angels on the earth men in the depths of hell demons so at the name of jesus angels men and demons must bow and every tongue confess that jesus is lord to the glory of god the father thank you thank you that not only did you give us the name but you gave us the authority to use the name thank you lord that when we use the name we are not using it illegally but we are using it with the authority that you've granted and therefore in the name of jesus this very day we command demons to be cast out in the name of jesus souls will come to christ in the name of jesus sick bodies will be healed the ground and the oppressed will be set free knowing you like we do we thank you in advance because we know it's already done come on and give him praise because it's already done god hallelujah you you may take your seats and you won't leave it like you can in jesus name bound oppressed afflicted sickle lame wow for the power of the lord is still the same so you you won't leave here like you came in jesus name maybe there's somebody you need to sing that too you won't leave it like you can in the jesus name oppressed afflicted sickle and our lord is still the same come on tell yourself we like we came in hallelujah all right please please be seated thank god my my my my my mind thank you thank you please be seated on on numerous occasions i have spoken to you and to various congregations across the country from the book that i consider probably to be the greatest single text and the whole not only the new testament but in the bible itself it has been said that if one wanted to translate the bible but you didn't have the money to translate the whole bible but just needed one particular book that could be translated and distributed in so many different languages so as to spread it worldwide a book that would have the power in it first of all that would save anyone who had the nerve to read it a book that would let you know that the lord does have the power to heal and to deliver and to set free that that particular book that would come closest to doing everything that you needed would be the gospel according to john often when i have ministered from that book i have used the subject he made a believer out of me but in spite of the fact that he has made a believer out of me and he has made a believer out of hopefully the majority of those of you who are worshiping with us here i i say hopefully he's made a believer out of the majority because i'm not so naive as to believe that everybody who comes to church on sunday morning is saved different people have different reasons for being here some are here because we have such a dynamic music department some are here because it's uh a beautiful edifice it's a venue that you can uh come to consistently and have no need to be ashamed some come because well i'll say this this fits more on the latest side women who say well it's a lot of different people a lot of guys and maybe i'll be blessed to find a husband and there are some fellows that every now and then get it in their mind that well a lot of folk there maybe that's a place where i can find a good wife so you have women looking for women and i know i know that sounds uh crazy and way out but you do you have men looking for women you have women looking for men and you have men looking for men you have women looking for women but the one thing that you will persistently and consistently fine as long as i'm your chief servant you're going to find someone who's preaching this book it was intended to be preached and not not someone that's going to compromise i i don't understand fully what is going on in today's world and when i say what is going on in today's world i'm i'm speaking with reference to how those who profess jesus christ as lord and savior are so weak that while others are ready to fight and it it's really it will anger you but then it's also a little bit amusing a couple of weeks or so ago when the pope made his statement quoting something out of history and basically saying that you cannot change one's beliefs with the edge of the sword that you can't take your ability to stir fear and make me put down jesus and take up muhammad and don't you know that before the words really left his lips were doing exactly that threatening nuns threatening to kill the pope himself and yet at the same time that's not what they're about and what do the christians do but said the pope owe them an apology for what if you can defame every religion in the world and call the whole of western society infidels that if you are not islamic then you're an infidel and you're going to burn in hell now if anything is politically incorrect it's incorrect for you to believe that your religion is the only true religion and you were ready to kill somebody either accept what i believe or you die and then what do we do but back up in a corner ah that was not the intention that was not what was meant to be conveyed i can remember the day that when everybody especially if you were bold enough to not only say you were a christian but a saved sanctified baptized filled with the holy ghost speaking in other tongues christian you really didn't believe nobody else would say we have a lot of folk now that have just joined the church but the truth of the matter is i can remember when those coming into the sanctified church you didn't believe and nobody else in the church believed that you were even saved until you got involved with sanctified folks what nobody else say but us and now we dare let somebody tell us that if we're not one of them we're not saved let me tell you it doesn't matter what you say it doesn't matter what you think when i get through reading this book i don't know where everybody else is going and these other reformations i don't know where everybody else is going even as it relates to our church but i made it up in my mind oh yeah as a youngster even as a young preacher i made some stupid foolish mistakes and i don't think there's hardly any of us who happen somewhere along the line but whatever foolish mistakes i've made i ask the lord to forgive me for those and if i got the opportunity and it was against someone else i asked them to forgive me and i determined that it doesn't matter what's going on in this world i am a 100 times 100 times 100 percent believer in jesus christ that he that he and he alone is the door by which i must enter into the presence of the heavenly father and somebody's sitting back there now saying how in the world did he get so messed up the book of john john messed me up real good i i only want to give you a few points and afterwards i want to make an invitation because i sense in my spirit today that there are some persons that god wants to save and i also sense in my spirit that there are those who are hungry what what do you mean for each other those who are hungry the scripture teaches blessed are they that do what hunger and thirst after righteousness for they shall be filled i thank god that i was not somehow forced and let me let me explain this on the front end i was forced to go to church i was also forced to understand that saved are no savior if you're gonna live in this house under my roof some of y'all never heard that language that you're gonna either be saved or you're gonna live like it but i was not forced to get saved but i was forced to not embarrass my saved sanctified holy ghost-filled parents sometimes i run up on young people that um i know they themselves have to be ashamed of the life they're living and then they turn around and say who their mother who their father what church it's even painful that they would claim salvation with the lifestyle that they have adopted if this world is going to be turned around we have the only weapon sword of the spirit which is the word of god we've got the only weapon that can turn this world around uh i've never seen in mine and and then let me say to you what i said to those persons on the tail end of the 745 worship that i want to appreciate each one of you for how nice how kind how generous even though i said don't do it i still got birthday cards and love tokens and as most of you know just a couple of weeks ago i moved a little bit closer to 70. when i moved to my 67th birthday and i want to thank you let me go back let me go back to where i am see that's that's one of the signs of the fact that i'm moving towards 70. folk the squirming and now god he's going to be slow and long today well see when you get to where i am you don't care no more you hope that people will listen you you hope that they will be blessed but regardless of what is going on uh you you're going to keep right on doing whatever you feel that the lord has blessed you or anointed you to do amen now what i was saying when the lord himself began to deal with me concerning salvation like most of the young people in that day it wasn't so much i loved god it was a matter that i really was hell-scared we've come to a time now when most people don't believe that there is such a place it's only a state of mind and it's something that ends when we leave here but i believe it now just as strong as i did then the wages of sin is death the gift of god is eternal life and i believe right now as a 67 year old man i am yet just naive enough to believe that there is a place you can call it hades you can call it hell you can call it whatever you want to call it but it is a place where according to the words of jesus whether the worm doesn't even die the heat is intense but a worm won't die a place of torment how do you escape it jesus said if you want to find the door of escape i am the door if you want in into the presence of the father i am the door through which you enter into the presence of the father i am the way i am the truth i am the life no man now that's some strong language i'm sorry you you can get angry with me you can say i'm an infidel you can say that because i have not embraced your religion that i'm going to be lost but let me tell you something i would rather stand on the name of jesus than to stand on every one of the so-called sacred books of the east i believe that there are a lot of good things that you can learn from those books i believe that there's a lot of good teaching that you can learn by studying the official book of uh islam and uh meditating with the buddhists that's probably something you can pick up there something you can pick up here and something you pick up there but jesus did not tell me to come and embrace my principles he did not say come and embrace the ideology that i put forth but he say the salvation that you seek is in what who i am let me say it that way not just what i teach oh my god but he says come unto me the salvation that you seek is in a person jesus christ is a living person oh yeah he died out on calvary's rugged cross he nailed him to the cross he hung out there between the heavens and the earth for six hours crucified at the third hour nine o'clock in the morning sun blacked out at high noon three o'clock in the afternoon when they broke the leg of the thief on the right and on the left trying to hasten their death because the sabbath was rushing on they looked at him and was getting ready to break his leg but see the prophetic verse there in the book of the psalms said not a bone shall be broken they didn't understand it but they couldn't break his bone because uh whatever the scripture says even those things that that that the old timers didn't even know referred to him was talking about him well if he's already dead there's no need in and breaking his bones and the bible said that he was going to be uh even with the rich in his death so somebody said well he he wasn't he wasn't a good businessman he didn't um prepare to have anywhere to be buried we don't want to just take him up the topic and fling him out there on the flames of tuffet we got to get somewhere to bury him can't leave him hanging over the weekend well there's a rich man that used to follow him his name is joseph of arimathea let's see if joseph will help us as it relates to giving him a good burial joseph and then his nicodemus member of the sanhedrin i'm sure that they'll let us have a parcel of ground to bury him so they went and said to pilate said we we need to get his body off of the cross bury him because that's a high holy day coming nicodemus evidently understood that there's more to this man than meets the eye joseph of arimathea said i never really got a chance to sit down and talk with him the way nicodemus did when he went to him by night but there's something about him whenever i'm near him whenever i hear his words ringing in my ear there's something that tells me he's not like other men and i've been reading a little bit of the hebrew scripture and if what i'm reading is true this man's not going to be in that tomb long anyhow all he needs is says somewhere to hide out for the weekend and the big pilot for his body took his body put it in joseph's new tune and say what you want to see a burial plot in that day was even more precious than it is in this day we're going to bury him in joseph's too yes we're going to bury him in joseph's too but i heard somebody say this man claimed that he was going to rise again nobody believed that but those women you know you tell a woman anything she'll believe it and consequently the men and you just wouldn't believe that men who followed him so closely men that saw him yeah we we like to talk about how he made clay out of spittle and sent the blind man down to the pool of siloam and told him to go and wash and when he washed the clay he came back but there's another record that speaks of the fact that he didn't put clay on another man's eye the bible said he just spit in his eyes jesus spit in the man's eye and here is a man that couldn't see and he came back seeing he did so many things that was so strange and people could not understand it men who helped them pass out the bread two little fish and five little old bali roads that the little boy's mother had fixed him for lunch and yet that boy was generous enough to say well if jesus needs it here it is but the men had to pass it out they were standing around they saw the power that he demonstrated they saw him go to the bedside of jairus daughter peter james and john were the only three that he let in the room but as soon as they got out they went and told the others you know the master did something the little girl was dead and the master walked in there and i don't know what he said that said something like telugu kumai talos akuma what would that mean you all know what it meant by what happened he said damsel i say under your eyes and when he said it she sat up they were there at the city limits of the name they saw him hit that flat board the beer as it was called and they saw that young man that they were trying to get to the cemetery sit up and then it happened then but about five days ago that we saw him go up into those hills where nobody hangs out but deadpool and as good a friend as he was to lather us they heard him call lazarus names and heard him say lathereth come forth and latharus comes in and yet they could not believe that jesus had the power to walk out of that grave on his own he told him i got the power you think you something but he said i got the power to lay my life down and then come back and pick it up again and in spite of everything that jesus taught everything that they saw they still didn't want to believe but on the other side the women what happened what happened out that calvary uh you know it was preparation the eve of the sabbath and we couldn't hang out down there at the cross no nobody was there from our group from the women's group except for mary his mother and mary the wife of cleophas who's also his mother's sister and then there was also mary magdalene who he cast seven devils out of these were the only women that were present so you brothers tell us what happened um i i don't know you know that had some business to take care of no you were scared to be identified with the women said you fellas y'all didn't even do a good job i know you know how to go up and wash nets and fish but but you fellas didn't didn't know enough about preparing a body for burial i'm sure you didn't do a good job so we we can't do anything during this sabbath weekend we gotta wait until the sabbath is officially over so early that morning don't push me out there i ain't john earlier that morning they went and said well let's see what what can we do but somebody gonna have to roll away the stone who don't roll the stone away and when they got there the stone was already rolled away oh my god and and the tomb was opened and exposed i heard somebody say that you know all the things that jesus did you know that he didn't need an angel to roll the stone away in order to let jesus out the stone was rolled away to let you and me in stone was rolled away so that we could know and understand that he really is alive if it were possible if we knew if there were grave markers if we knew exactly where to go and find joseph's tomb where they had buried jesus you know what you find you'd find an empty hole in the ground my god and you'd find that nobody would even be hanging around looking waiting because this jesus that i served when he finished the work that he had to do he showed himself alive by many infallible proofs stayed around the earth for 40 days appeared here and there but when he figured he had enough uh people on record that could verify the fact that he really is alive he said i'm going to let you all see me for the last time you'll be able to see visions of me you'll read about me you'll feel my presence but let me show you the new power led him out as far as under bethany lifted up his hands and blessed them you'll find it in acts chapter 1 and while he was blessing them gravitation seemingly lost all of its power and the man who had been walking began to float and the man who was floating started to fly and the man who was flying just called a cloud sat back as though it were chariots and he went right on into the very presence of the heavenly father left the atmosphere of this earth went on through the troposphere and the ionosphere and kept on sailing and after a while he went through interplanetary space pass by jupiter and mars and saturn and neptune and when they got through passing up planets these men are still looking with the mouth open in fact even the two that are referred to as angels that were evidently his escorts they even got attracted by looking at the lord's movements so oh oh wait a minute got to tell you you men galilee why stand you your gazing into heaven the same jesus that's why i don't pay no attention to these new messiahs i don't pay no attention to them at all i'm waiting on the same one the same one born in bethlehem raised as a nazarene the same one that's the one i'm looking for i'm looking for the one that was able to walk on water the same one the one that could break bread and it multiplied as he broke it the one who even when he called your name the name would cross the transitory line out of time in the eternity and call one from the dead the same one death had no power to stop him even let pilot know i know you represent the whole roman government i know that you are the governor and that you report directly to pilot but but you just don't know who i am you don't know that i'm the one that's got the power and the only power that you've got is the power that has granted you from above and oh let me tell you mr pilot that when i get ready i'm not concerned about going to the cross and not concerned about you crucifying me go ahead lay me in the ground go ahead nail my hands go ahead nail my feet whatever you want to do do it i want you to know there ain't no power on earth that can hold me down yeah put me in the tube but i got news for you i'm gonna rise again and early that morning i'm going to mercy but early in the morning you're going to find out that something is going to happen that has never happened before yeah let your security guards let them sit there with a stone and what a government seal but when the time comes the seal will be broken when the time comes nothing that man can do can stop the wheel that my father have set in motion i'm coming out anybody believe that i know i know a lot of folks go to church for a lot of reasons but honey you couldn't get me in here you couldn't tie me to one of these seats for no two and a half or three hours no way you could make me give back 10 of everything that come into my hand if i didn't believe what i read in this book but because i'm a believer i'll tell the world i might even be sick but i'll get up out of the sickbed and go and tell somebody let jesus live he's not dead he is alive and and if you don't know it you need to get to know him for yourself it's really about 25 or 30 of you out there now that the lord has been trying to get your attention but you keep putting it off tell me i i'm going to do it after i do this but let me tell you baby you don't have control over your own life he's got power over your life and if you would just give that life to him today something would happen to you that you never dreamed possible i i feel it even now he was not only savior but if you are sick in your body he'll heal you if you're bound by drugs he'll deliver you if your mind is confused he'll straighten out your troubled mind my god i i dare you to get up from where you are and and to come down here right now give him your life you you you you will never be the same never be the same again hallelujah hallelujah even while these are coming god bless you young man god bless you young lady bless the young men even while you're coming i command the enemy to take his hands off receive his privilege receive his power receive his strength hallelujah i know i know you don't always understand when the lord is at work you're used to it happening in a certain traditional way but i hear the lord saying i'm here and a non-traditional manner but you can receive everything you need right now i want those others to come i i don't care what side you're coming from oh i know you had some plans and i know your plans i know your plans you're going to be late it's a matter of whether or not you're listening to me or whether you're listening to the enemy but i command the devil to take his hands off of you right now receive his presence receive his promise come on come on come on glory glory ballroom wow come
