I've Got Proof Elder Henry Wright

this is a wonderful tradition is it not one for which we can be proud and I I take some joy pass the burden the fact that the very first one 26 years ago I was a presenter and I'm glad to see the tradition has continued the Brethren wanted me to say a word about prophecy the prophetic utterance this unique golden cord of scripture that separates it from all other books you should have said amen it is prophecy I say again it is prophecy that separates the Bible from all other good books for in prophecy God sets himself aside from the authors of all other literature it is one thing to write sweet words another depend poetry of outstanding mental tint elation but when you can say on Wednesday what's going to take place on the next Friday and it take place exactly the way you say that's a whole nother level of literature I'll say a man for you when you can grab right now and talk about right now standing on right now and see the next decade as clear as a bell and say thus saith the Lord and when the Lord gets done speaking you can just write it down if he says rain five hundred years from now that on that morning get up with your umbrella cause God has declared I'm just want to talk about it a little bit but you can't help but get excited when you recognize you have this powerful tool in your hand you can look through the windows and see tomorrow prophecy o seventh-day Adventist people I don't mean to insult anybody else but seventh-day Adventist people o to be people who understand and preach with courage the prophecies of the Bible and in my age 41 years of ministry now 63 years old still as happy as a lark in the Lord's work you couldn't pay me to do anything else but I'm getting a little agitated because in these days when God has already tickled our minds by 900 our minds by tsunamis tickled our minds by allowing half the world's population to watch the funeral of one man and the Bible begin to say in my head the whole world shall wonder after that in such times as these that Adventist pictures are pulling out yellow notes and preaching all kinds of stuff when the fresh news of the prophecies of God's Word ought to be filling our pulpits and some of this junk we're preaching ought to be constant set aside and we ought to be preaching stuff that's leading people to the ways of God trying to sound like the boys and the other churches and wrapped up in style and trying to moan and grunt like the rest of the brethren when God has given you a clear word he's given this church an insight he has given us the telescope we can walk bravely through the chapters of daniel and revelation and we don't have to apologize because god has given us this insight and we ought to be preaching it and not boring our people with social light sermons that have nothing to do with nothing now that's all free it's not in the notes at all yes the books of Daniel revelations summon us to the quarters of their pages the books of Daniel revelation wave a red flag at our saying he he that shall come will come and will not tarry can you see him can you hear the angel's wings already do you see Orion getting fatter and wider so thousands times ten thousands can pass through can't you hear Gabriel's trumpet blowing already that's what you ought to be preaching and so I've gone back to these books Daniel and revelation on preaching and my morning service Daniel to my afternoon service revelation and then studying last day events on Wednesday night just but you see preachers I want to be ready see unfortunately on that day despite of churches built and souls baptized and tithes reigned and in gathering sit-in and message magazine subscription set out God Ingo asked you nothing about that on Judgment Day he wants to know have you been true to your calling so I've been back in Daniel revelation and of course you realize these books are husband and wife Daniel 12 nine says that the book when finished was sealed until the time then revelation 22 10 says now everything is open the two books are full of Jesus full of Jesus Daniel 2 he he shows up riding on a rock that fills the whole earth Daniel 3 he Hobnobs with sinners and a furnace cooling it by his very presence you've preached it Daniel 5 he shows up with a hand he just writes on a wall what's going to happen that night and it does and Daniel 7 we see Christ moving before the Father remember that vision Son of Man coming before the Father a depiction of the of the judgment to come Daniel 9 he is predicted in the closing verses of that chapter Daniel 10 Christ to sing wrestling against the Prince of Persia making sure that things come out just the way God said they would and then in Daniel 12 he just stands up that's a bad brother when you just write a Texas says and when Michael stands up you know that's really an on and uneventful event but but when God stands up it produces a text of Scripture come on y'all revelation 1 he's in the midst of the candlesticks revelation 3 he's knocking at the door we'll be back there in a minute revelation 5 he's Christ the lamb and in Revelation six he's Christ coming revelation seven the lamb in the midst of the throne revelation 10 Christ with a little book that must be eaten by the church sweet to the taste but bitter to the stomach Revelation 12 he's the little boy born and the devil waits on him revelation 14 the lamb with 144,000 revelation 19 Christ triumphant in revelation 22 Christ still coming these books are the unveiling of the salvation of Jesus are you listening to me I want to try something on you this evening my subject is I have proof I have proof we listen to me for 30 minutes let's pray father it's your moment amen I believe with all my heart that we need to be preaching the book of Revelation and Daniel from a restoration standpoint what word did I say wrestler II say it again we ought to be brother king investigating Daniel revelation from the standpoint of restoration now the restoring sister Brooks of what what are we restoring well one need only read the first three chapters of the book of Revelation to understand why restoration is necessary you recall you recall that those first three chapters unveiled the seven churches have you preached on those recently seven churches Ephesus the church that lost its love if you study the history of Ephesus the city actually died because too much mud accumulated on the harbor so Ephesus died because it had too much dirt I thought I had preachers in this room emphasis moves to Smyrna when the church loses love then the Lord sends it through Smyrna or the period of pain and testing and trial and a good subject for Smyrna is no pain no gain and you talk about how that the Lord and all of his love for us will always do whatever is necessary to save us even to bring us down with pain and misery and trial you've preached it haven't you but every Christian in the church every believer is either in Ephesus stage or a Smyrna stage or pergolas stage of compromise of Fonterra stage tarantara reaches the point where Jezebel is sitting in the church preach that talk about that and talk about the fact that when you get to the 25th verse in Thyatira that in spite of the fact that the church has reached the point where Jezebel abides and the pews God says in the 25th verse I see something there we're saving oh shoot you tell your members that no matter how long they go and how rough it gets it how far away they may they may get from God that even after the board votes God still sees something we're saving tell your people I just want to talk about it a little bit and then you go to Sardis the almost church if you live in find Tara long enough you don't come right back you do a Sardis you get almost back Jesus was upset with that church and complain to them that that you've not yet gone as far as I want you to go because you see Reformation starts in Sardis and Reformation is not complete in your life until it goes as far as God wants it to go they move from there to Philadelphia the time of 1844 when the church thought Christ was coming and prepared themselves Tatia Saints about that period what happens to people when they really believe the Lord is coming talk about how they sold their houses and and divided up their crops and and got rid of their and got rid of their material butts tell your people how they made up with one another how the pews became sweet and pure how people act when they believe that Jesus is coming preach on that but in Laodicea see that phrase on the Greek I will spew out of my mouth so it's the Bradford that's a terrible word that word has to do with vomiting the church has reached the point of such a hypocritical stage that it makes me up Chunk says Jesus I've not forgotten what I'm talking about restoration by the time you get to the end of the seven churches now watch me in Revelation 1 Jesus is seen standing in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks and you preach that he's in the church but the time you get to the end of Revelation 3 Jesus is standing outside the church knocking trying to get in and the Bible says if any man hear my voice who he's not just knocking he's calling to the church but the music is so loud and the gossip is so strong and the matters between members has become so potently visible and they're so concerned with holding their offices and the pastor about moving to the next largest Church they cannot hear Jesus clothing and so he must knock and pull and the Greek says I have been knocking and I have been clothing now John is an old man my subject is restoration restoration I'm dealing with that I have proof that's my subject I have proof I'm looking for some evidence by the time you get to the end of revelation 3 the church is in a bad state and the question that now Rises who shall be saved now you need to understand ladies and gentlemen preachers and credits that the history of the human race in the Bible it's not good I challenge you Bible scholars tonight find me one text in the Bible that praises mankind I'll sit down here Mitch and wait on you there's none there's not a text in the Bible where God says we're wonderful why are you getting so quiet their texts that say he's wonderful there are texts that say he's powerful there's texts that say he's loving but there's no text that says we're lovable and this is why the Bible is really it ain't about us it's about him and when you preach prophecy you're preaching God's predicted response to man's awfulness unacceptable though we be and inconsistent though we are the Bible is full of God's determination and when you read prophecy and you finally see the number which no man can number standing on the sea of glass you're not seeing man's goodness you're seeing God's determination to save some garbage from the garbage and with the end of chapter at the end of chapter 3 the church is in bad shape and and John needs a lift see God has read the Bible he knows at the human race I mean a perfect man Adam sinned the best that the ant eluvians had Noah got drunk the father of the faithful Abraham would lie at the drop of a hat Judith from whom Christ 19 had sex with his own daughter-in-law whom he thought was a both these words in the Bible don't get upset I'm just these birds in the Bible the word is in the Bible it's a Bible word just like ass asses in the Bible don't get me started now the best we have I mean even Elijah Elijah who stood with courage and pomp you city on the tops of Carmel and turned down fire in the name of God Ryan like a rabbit from a woman now I'm listing the best we have this is faith Hall of Fame Moses don't mess with Moses had a temper would knock your head off and put you in the sand and bury you and talk about the best we got but I have proof see the problem is when when you talk about Adam and you read the fall of man and in Genesis 3 you you find verse 8 saying and the Lord God came down in the evening and the cool of the day and with you and the picture that the picture that is painted is that there was a time when man had face to face communion with God are you listening to me there was a time when God came down and would talk to Adam about highballs worked would explain to him how the phalanges and the metatarsals were linked to the back to the body and how the patella and the femur bones were the strongest in the body he explained if God and Adam took face to face about how the eardrum worked and and how flowers opened up in the process of photosynthesis Adam and God had face to face communion but sin I'm talking about restoration and even though after that time we had many good folks come along they they could not look God in the eye because God is a consuming fire to sin and it didn't get any better by the time my brother you get down to David the best King David was the best King I said David was the best King we could come up with lyin cheatin wife stealin David was the best King we had and then the old mouse best King Solomon I wonder how he had his gift list around Christmastime these are the best and you need to preach on a revelation and say to the people that it's the condition of man that makes God so great it's our loneliness that makes him so high it's our unlivable Ness that makes him so loving it's the distance between me and God that makes him a bridge over troubled water it's not about us it's about God and so in Revelation 4 John needs a lift I wish the Saints would stay with me he needs a lift the church is in bad she led to see us dripping all over the church and hypocrisy is running through the church and John need some encouragement because right now he cannot imagine that anybody even in the church is going to be saved oh he remembers that he not went up but nobody knows where he recalls that that that John saw a Moses and Elijah on Mount Transfiguration but he's not sure where they came from tamo John's perspective now he doesn't know what he knows is is that the face to face communion has been broken and then in Revelation 4 turn there revelation 4 yeah ought to use the Bible once before I shut up revelation 4 looking under after this I had looked and behold now notice the transition I love the drama of the Bible you see Jackie at the end of Revelation 3 Jesus is standing outside knocking if any man will hear my voice I'll come in and sup with him it's a bad scene and suddenly like a good movie there's a transition and now the camera gets away from earth and aims straight up to Orion and the Bible says behold a door was opened in heaven somebody ought to say man see when things aren't doing good get your mind off your bills and look at the bill payer yeah yeah yeah when you when you when you when your family is falling apart get your mind off your home and and remember the family of God know that the god you serve has already specialized in human mess he's not intimidated by it even your limping half-stepping ministry sometimes does not does not intimidate God he just goes on and uses you anyhow some of us know we're not living right get in the pulpit and the Holy Ghost comes down on you and your peace like a house set afire don't think for one minute because you suddenly turn good because God is good and you're the best thing he's got to use that day so he goes on and use you anyhow somebody say a man out there tonight again something works down the aisle joins your church your life's not right don't think you suddenly have died and become an angel because six folk join your church one Sabbath God just decided this is the best thing I got to work with I got six Souls here let me use this runchy they grow and get these people down this hole so John so John is got a few minutes left now brother John John John is seen he's seen looking up but as he looks yeah I have proof as he looks he sees God he sees the flame he sees the Jasper he sees the rainbow he sees the emerald color then verse four and round about the throne were four and 20 seats now the seats around the throne I'll shoot yo the seats now the only thing closer is on the throne but the 24 seats John Solomon got proof hey they're round the throne now all of a sudden I'm caught up with John who in the world is this verse 10 the four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne and worship Him that liveth forever and ever and cast their crowns before the throne saying thou art worthy O Lord to receive glory sounds good they singing they saying but I need to know who they are I got to keep reading I got to go to chapter 5 and the scene opens further and in verse 9 it tells me what to singing and they sang a new song saying thou art worthy to take the book and to open the seals therefore thou was slain and hast redeemed Oh boss so there's a redeemed folk here singing us Namah - really than us who's us - God by thy blood out of every lord have mercy lord have mercy every kindred tongue people and nation they're folks up there oh shoot y'all there's folks up there it is folks from down here but they're people who walk down here or up there people who wants rinse in and like sin and love sin and did sin and smelled sin and hate sin and drinks in have something has happened down inside of them and they've reached the point where now they can sit and look God in the earth hallelujah I got proof I got proof that you can make it and that I can make it now that's 24 I don't know that means 24 nations are 24 days I don't know what that means I really could care less about the number I just know that now I got hope because people who used to be where I live who came from from where I have struggled and people like you are now sitting in the presence of God I got proof now Houseman spirit now makes me want to keep on reading in Revelation and now I'm in the seventh chapter and the number now is 144,000 and they're also standing around the throne I got proof the number has grown from 24 to 144,000 still a tight number still squeezin still hard to make it in but I'm inspired now to keep on reading and I've gotten to the ninth chapter and I see a number which no man can number standing on the sea of ice standing by the throne of God I got proof if that word bless your heart come on let's sing together redeemed how I love to proclaim it redeemed by the blood redeemed his infinite mercy is Shannon come on Reidy Reidy Reidy in 3d is soundin food this is a serious moment our people are struggling folk they have children who have been captured by the Internet our young people are more educated but more irreverent the uncouples of our church are bound with the disease of materialism there's a smaller percentage of them returning tithe to the church and the Adventist ministry must meet the challenge with fervent deeply studied incisively applicable and inspiring the effective preaching of the Bible we have a sure word of prophecy I said we have a sure word of prophecy you
