Jack Hyles Preaching | We Have Heard With Our Ears

open your Bibles please to Psalm number 48 Psalm number 48 verse number one Psalm 48 verse 1 great is the Lord yeah that's a good book four little words if it just came and read those four words and went home great is the Lord and greatly to be praised I prayed Sunday morning while misunderstood phrase can you jump up and say well praise God that's not praise that's telling somebody else praise praise is commendation this morning I looked at the sunrise and said dear God just sure did a good job this morning that's praising God it's commending it what he did I looked at the trees down here that will have an August up where we live and I we have two seasons winter and all this and I looked at the trees especially bugle pine trees and that's it sure done good today greatly to praise and the city of our God and a mountain of His Holiness this is a good book I mean it's hard not to stop every time you say anything let me explain this passage to you before he did the Jews were in captivity every bit of the Old Testament nearly every bit evolves around a little 70 year old period called Babylonian captivity that little period that I mentioned more than anything else and all the Old Testament my preaching most all or all of the prophets are either pre captivity prophets our captivity prophets or post captivity prophets now we find ourselves in the psalm here in captivity I'm sorry we've just come back from captivity for 70 years the Jews have been in captivity now they're back home their beloved city that has been destroyed as being revealed their beloved temple that had been leveled is now being to begin beloved walls that had been failed or now rising again and they're just full of expectancy because they're home beautiful for situation inverse to the joy of the whole earth is Mount Zion they're back to not sign against a boy sure is pretty on the sides of the north notice that you southern people [Applause] I'm trying to give the northern or something they can understand too and that isn't easy I'm the only fellow I know can make the whole crowd mad while I'm reading the Scriptures God is known in her palaces for a refuge well though the kings were a symbol they passed not together they saw it and so they marvel they were troubled and hasted away fear took upon them they're in pain as of a woman in travail now brick is the ship ships of tarshish with an east wind and here's my text as we have heard so have we seen in the city of our God in the city of our God God will establish it forever Selah we've heard while we're in captivity some of us were born in captivity we've heard about the city and now we see it we've heard about Mount Zion with its magnificent Beauty and now we see it we've heard about the Mount of Olives over looking and watching guard over the city of Jerusalem and now we see it as we have heard soul have we seen now to understand that passage you've got to go back to Psalm 44 so turn back to the first verse of Psalm 44 as Psalm 48 finds them home from captivity Psalm 44 finds them still in captivity and it says we have heard with our ears Oh God our fathers have told us what worked out it's in their days and the times of old now putting these two Psalms together before I pray let me explain putting these two Psalms together you have these people hundreds of miles maybe 500 miles from home slaves in captivity with nothing but memories are here saying we've heard with our ears our fathers of Poulos we've heard with our ears our fathers have told us what thou didst in their times and their day and the signs of old but now then they're back home and they say exactly what we've heard is what we see I want to speak on this subject this morning father I want to be a help today I guess if I were honest I'd have to say that I'd like to have you have this sermon called a good sermon I guess there's no manners in me for that but at ten thousand times will they help somebody in a stutter all the way through and then be complemented with excellence and fail I pray your Holy Spirit should help me to speak but if I don't speak well would you speak for me and through me and to me into the hearts of those who the air for many years I've been a man on the mission my mission will be explained to you this morning all of us are concerned about the perishing nation called United States we see our country decayed we're especially concerned about the leadership of our country those of us who love the Bible of America and they are synonymous are concerned about our president and her husband and we begged for God to take care of him because if she dies think what would heaven the White House and the truth is every decent American whether they're here this morning are here they want to do something about it and we want to do something about our country this morning I do and so do you we want into this for what's in one little person what can I do and so comes along comes the moral majority which I think was a detriment to America rather than an asset it took bus captains and make them precinct captains this country's ever saves you always say by precinct by precinct captains you can save the bus captain he's not getting the ride fill in the White House is getting the right Fellows of the church house there's no good people saying I mean our country is not gonna despair it by political involvement second Chronicles 7:14 still in the Bible then staff the queer people are not calling my name shall straighten themselves then when I hear from heaven forgive their sin heal their land then set the baby killers or drunks or alcoholic are Hugh Hefner's for new morality crowd our situation ethics crowd will get none to say that at all it said if my people that's us which a call by my name that's us well humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways then will I God is responding God then will I hear from heaven forgive their sin and heal their land but so was our standing I think here all will was sincere I mean then I say that I think he made a mistake and starting the more majority but I think he was sincere I think he's a sincere man and though I do not agree with the moment many things if anything I do believe that your Falwell is a patriotic American and wanting to do what he could to save America I think he chose the wrong Avenue all right but but many good people chose the same Avenue because they have a sincere desire see our countries say then others saw people lying down in front of abortion clinics and I certainly have no patience with the queer none whatsoever but somehow we got the idea if we can just lie down in front of Washington X and if we can prevent an abortion or two then we would have done something we individually would have done something to save our nation I think the motive is good but it's not going to save America and then we said okay then we'll uh we'll fight we'll fight the will we're joined the gay anti-gay ordinance class now the honest truth is folks none of those things all those things were admirable and I'm not I'm not gonna fight the guys trying to keep a baby from being killed I'm not gonna do that but he's not gonna save America I promise you this morning if you listen to me for the next 2-3 hours no one knowing this crowd I've said it for 20 minutes and I've seen the same people hollering preach sound asleep after 15 minutes but before you leave this morning if you listen to me carefully and I'm not gonna I'm gonna go a different direction this one if you listen carefully to me you will see a little life and you will see something that and you will walk out this place saying the first time in my life maybe I believe I'm trying this morning they're taking the girls while ago will have the same thing you're gonna have is Jordan this country heard with our ears our fathers and told us we've heard with our ears our fathers have told us walk worked out did spend their days and the times of old said song written in captivity I think I can see a father talking to the son a fatherhood singing sites of Jerusalem never see a father who had seemed the magnificence of the temple but a son who'd never seen Mount Zion a father hoods felt the protection and the safety of the mighty walls around the city whose son had never seen those massive walls together in the little house and beveling father says something to tell you some stories dad let me tell you a story about our forefathers our forefathers used to be slaves the land of Egypt one day God told Moses who was the leader one of the great men in history God told Moses to tell the people to each family kill a lamb and take the blood of that lamb and applied on the front porch to the hut door was the house the littles and doorpost of the house a death angel is gonna come by that night everybody had to butterflied be safe but those that did not have to blow the flag we had the firstborn of their family taken by their yes son we've heard with our ears our fathers have told us we've heard without years my father's hope that isn't all son you know what hey what there you know son that that all of a sudden Ferriero relented and let our people go and because of that miracle of God three or four million Jews were set free our people were set free from the bondage of Egypt yeah that's a wonderful story is that true that's what we've heard with our ears i fathers at oldest we've heard with our ears our fathers have told us we've heard with our ears our fathers have told us what work that God did in those days and the times of old well son they got down to the Red Sea a mighty body of water and they had to cross the Red Sea to be free but they had nowhere to get across and Ferriero had changed his mind repented that he'd let the people go send his arm is down and on one side of our people were the armies of Egypt on the other side of the mighty body of water at the Red Sea what did they do son God told Moses to take a rod with your head and take that rod and smite the waters of the Red Sea and you know what we've heard with our ears I fathers have told us we've heard with our ears our fathers have told us we've heard with our ears our fathers have told us that the waters of the Red Sea stood at attention and rolled back hello strong wind came to dried the ground out and three or four million Jews walked over all dragged around well son I wasn't there but hey we've heard with our ears our fathers have told us we've heard with our ears our fathers have told us what else dad son
