Holy, holy, holy Lord God Almighty
Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee Holy, holy,
holy merciful and mighty God in three persons, blessed Trinity. Second verse as the last. Holy,
holy, holy, all the saints adore thee. Casting down their golden
crowns around the glassy sea. Cherubim and seraphim falling
down before thee. Okay, go back with me to Isaiah
chapter 6. There is a verse in Proverbs,
not just one, but three different verses, but a key verse in God's
Word. There are many, but this is a
key verse. Proverbs 9, verse 10 says, The
fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. A knowledge of the holy is understanding. Let me repeat that. The fear
of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and a knowledge of
the holy is understanding. Proverbs 9, 10. The very first
proverb written, Proverb 1, I believe it's verse 7, says, The fear
of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. That's a key verse, a definitive
verse. The beginning of wisdom, knowledge
of the holy. Fear of the Lord, what is that?
What's fear of the Lord? Whatever it is, Paul said in
Romans 3, there's no fear of God before their eyes. Talking
about Jew and Gentile. And certainly not today. Men
like to use that phrase, don't they? No fear. Fear of the Lord is something
to do with profound reverence and respect. for who he is and
having a humility before him, brokenness before him, knowledge
of the holy. What's that? Knowledge of the
holy, understand. Knowledge of the holy God. What
that means, God is holy. What does that mean? This book
you have in your lap has written on the front of it, what? Bible and so very few people
know what that means, because they could take this book or
leave it. They treat this book like any other book, but this
says it's holy. What does that mean? Knowledge
of the holy? A holy spirit. A lot of people
like to talk about the spirit, don't they? Well, he's holy.
What does that mean? The Lord Jesus Christ said this,
we quote this all the time. along with that proper. The Lord
says this is life eternal that they might know the the only
true God. And Jesus Christ and that is.
The only true God the only God who is truly God because there's
many he said that. Worship a God of their imagination
not the God of this book. and the Christ whom he sent why
Christ came true Christ who he was. Why God said. Why came what he did when he
got here whether or not he did it where he is now. Our Lord said this is salvation
this is what God Almighty. Does every human being. This
is the. The first thing God does when
he begins this work of salvation, saving a human being from sin
and from destruction, the first thing he does is reveal himself. I quote it again. Our Lord said,
this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true
God. This is salvation. This is where it begins. This
is where it all begins. Everyone in here who claims to
have been saved by the Lord. This is the first thing, isn't
it? The first thing the Lord does
to you is reveal to you who he is. And in doing that, he reveals
to you what you are. And it causes the same reaction
that Isaiah had. Every single person is no exception. And God reveals himself, not
the way men think he is. He said that in Psalm 50. He
said, Thou thought'st thou was altogether such a one as thou
set. Men think God is like us. God says in his word, the way
God says of himself in his word is how he must reveal himself. So, let me say this as the psalmist
said, come you children, hearken unto me and I'll teach you the
fear of the Lord. I'll teach you the fear of the
Lord from scripture. I'm not going to teach you, but
the Holy Spirit does. He'll do it through Isaiah six. Well, who is the Lord? What's
he like? What's God like? What's God really
like? Well, look at chapter six. In verse one, it says Isaiah
is right in it. He says, In the year that King
Uzziah died, I saw also. He saw Uzziah die. And he said,
Also, I saw the Lord. The Lord. As I said, I'll never forget
the first time I heard a man preach from this. If you would
ask me what would be a definitive passage of Scripture. to declare
or define God, the God of the Bible, as opposed to this concept,
this figment of men's imagination today, what all men say about
God of the Bible, I'd say Isaiah 6. I'd immediately tell everybody,
go to Isaiah 6. This is the Lord. Isaiah sees
the Lord. Who's the Lord? Who's he talking
about? Jesus Christ. There's only one Lord. He's called
the Lord Jesus Christ. He's talking about God. Yes. Yes, they're the same person. This clearly declares a true
God, true Christ, the truth about man. In the year King Uzziah
died, something that Isaiah saw in the death of this king made
him see the Lord. OK? This is not just written
to tell us the time that he saw. That's not important. What was
it that he saw in the death of this king, Uzziah, that made
him see the Lord? The Lord showed himself in that
very year that Uzziah died. Well, let me tell you who Uzziah
is. His story is recorded in 2 Kings
and 2 Chronicles. 2 Chronicles 26 is the clearest.
The most lengthy description of Kings that he knew that I
was a king of Judah listen listen now. This is important. He was
king in Judah he started writing with sixteen years old and he
ran for fifty two years. I'm not sure I didn't look it
up but I think it's a long list right. Fifty two years he was
sixty eight years old when he died. But he was the greatest
man on earth at that time, greatest king on earth, and the greatest
kingdom on earth. There was not a kingdom like
Uzziah's kingdom at this time. Read it for yourself. I went
back and read it again, and I didn't realize how great this man was.
Scripture says his name spread far abroad. His name was known
all over the then-known world, King Uzziah. He was known, he
had vast holdings of farms and cattle. He was a husband, but
he loved farming. He had vast holdings of land
and cattle and so forth. It says he built towers and dug
wells and he had cunning inventions. He was a brilliant man. He had
them invent machines and so forth. Weapons of war. He had hundreds
of thousands of foot soldiers at his beck and call. Great man, greatest man on earth
at the time, king in the greatest kingdom on earth at that time.
Well, one day he got so lifted up with a sense of his greatness. And the temple was there in Israel
at that time. Until one day he just decided,
I'm going to go into the temple, say I'm the king. I'm somebody,
and I'm going into the temple, and I'm going to get me a censer
with incense on it, and I'm going to go in there, and I'm going
to offer up incense. I'm going to worship God. I don't
need this priest. You know, God said nobody goes
in here but one man, one man. I'll deal with one man, and it's
not whoever thinks they're great or whatever. It's the man I choose.
The man of my choosing, the great high priest, who is a picture
of the Lord Jesus Christ, who alone must go to God for every
man, any man. Well, this King Uzziah puffed
up with a sense of his own greatness and worth, went right into that
temple with his little incense censer in his hand, and eighty-one
priests saw him do this, and they ran in there. Eighty-one
priests and stood in front of him and said, you can't do this.
You can't do this. We don't care if you are the
greatest king or you can't do this. And he got furious. And
he said, who do you think you are? Don't you know who I am?
Don't you know who I am? And he says, God, smote him with
leprosy. Right there, says the priest
was standing there watching him and leprosy. His head started
to rot. And the priest somehow showed
him, look, you need to look at yourself. And he saw it. That he was turning into a leper
and he ran out of that. They kicked him out of there.
They forced him out of there. And all of Israel shut him out. Put him in a private house and
he died alone and just rotted. A leper. God did that. Why? Because God is holy. That's why. What's that mean? See, Isaiah
saw this. Isaiah was there. He saw this. And will you turn back real quickly
to chapter 2 with me of Isaiah? Look at this. This is, as we
said, as we quoted, The fear of the Lord, the Lord, the Lord,
is the beginning of wisdom and the knowledge of the holy. Isaiah
2, oh, I wish the whole world would read this. I wish these so-called preachers
would stand up this morning and read Isaiah 2, verses 10 through
12. He says, Enter into the rock
and hide thee in the dust for fear of the Lord. for the glory
of his majesty. Read on. The lofty looks of man
shall be humbled. The haughtiness of men shall
be bowed down. The Lord alone shall be exalted
in that day. The day of the Lord of hosts
shall be upon everyone that is proud and lofty. Everyone that
is lifted up, he will be brought low. He says that twice in verse
seventeen. I'll never forget reading Isaiah
23, 9 when I was a young man. It's always stuck with me. Listen
very carefully as I read this. If you turn, that would be wonderful.
But Isaiah 23, 9, I committed it to memory as a young man.
You know, whatever God purposes he does, he's going to do. Whatever he purposes. He said
that, Isaiah 13, I believe. I purposed it. I'll do it. Isaiah
23, 9 says, "...the Lord of hosts," the Lord, the only one, "...hath
purposed it to stain the pride of all glory," all glory, all
bragging, all boasting, all honor, all of it, "...and to bring into contempt to make it appear contemptible,
the honorable of the earth. That's what he's purposed to
do, and he's going to do it. So, Isaiah said, In a year that
King Uzziah died, I saw also the Lord. And I look at it back in chapter
six, verse one. He said, I saw also the Lord
sitting upon a throne. Every word is important, people.
Every word declares our God, the God, the true God, the only
God there is. He's sitting. It's not like these preachers
say, he's standing outside your heart's door, pacing the floor
of heaven, leaning over the banister, hoping, wishing, praying that
people will do something. He's sitting. Sitting! Isaiah said, I saw the
Lord sitting. Sitting. Now, back in the Old Testament, the great high priest never sat
down. There was not a chair inside
the temple. There was no chair inside the
temple because his work was never done. Never done. He couldn't sit down. He never
did sit down. But it says, Scripture says,
when Christ came, our great hope was the Lord, the King of kings
and Lord of lords. When he came to this earth, hanging
upon the cross, he said, it's finished. And it says he went
back to the right hand of the majesty on high and sat down. And says he's sitting there now
expecting. When you sit down, your work's
done and you're satisfied and You're not in a hurry, and nobody's
disturbing you. A city, the Lord said, on the
throne. On the throne. That's where he reigns and rules.
The throne means his sovereignty. His reign, his rule on the throne.
Brother Gabe and I watched a little bit last night of that old movie
The Ten Commandments back in the fifties. Remember that? Anybody
see that? Charlton Heston was his name.
Pretty good movie, pretty scriptural. But it showed a little bit of
what sovereignty used to be. Sovereignty. A great king or
pharaoh, that's who it was, would come in and he would sit on his
throne He didn't have to get up and go and do anything. He
just gave orders. He would just sit on his throne
with a scepter and make all of his rules and proclamations and
declarations and orders and all. He said, so let it be written,
so let it be done. I love that. So let it be written,
so let it be done. He'd tell somebody, do this,
and they'd do that. He's sitting on a throne, reigning, ruling.
Don't have to get up and see to it. When he gives the order,
it's done. That's God. Known unto God are all his works
from the beginning." Acts 15, 18. He's sitting, Scripture says,
on the circle of the earth. The Lord. The Lord. There's only one. He's sitting on the throne. I told you before
that the only throne, and I'm going to say it again, it's crude,
but I just think it puts things in perspective. The only throne
man rightfully belongs on is made by American standard plumbing. Honestly. God raises some of those beggars
off of the nung heap to sit among princes, to sit with him. He says, come sit down at my
right hand, right by the throne. It's his call, his choice. It's high. Look at this. He said,
I saw him seated, seated on a throne, high and lifted up, high and
lifted up. Now, the Lord Jesus Christ is
who we're talking about, who Isaiah saw. You see, no man hath
seen God at any time, the scripture says. Isn't that what it says? No man hath seen God at any time.
The only begotten Son, he hath declared him. The only God men
have ever seen, the only Lord, or whoever will see, is the Lord
Jesus Christ, God who dwells in a body. He saw the Lord Jesus Christ.
Now the Lord Jesus Christ came to this earth the first time,
nearly two thousand years Well, 2,000 years. He came the first
time meek and lowly. Meek and lowly. He said that. Take my yoke upon you and learn
of me, for I am meek and lowly. Meek and lowly. And Paul, writing in Hebrews,
said we see Jesus made a little lower than the angels. We see
a man named Jesus. There was a man named Jesus.
who was lower than the angels. Why? Why was he meek and lowly
when he came the first time? He goes on to say in Hebrews,
for the suffering of death. Jesus Christ came the first time
as a man, to live as a man, submissive, subservient to the will of God.
Not my will, he said, but thy will be done. To do thy will,
O God. To live as a man for men before
God. to fulfill God's law for some.
That's why I came. And then to be a substitute, a sin offering, a substitute,
somebody to take the blame of, the punishment of, take the place
of. God Almighty put sin on him,
sins of God's people, and put him on a cross. God did this.
God did this to his son. And he submitted to that. He
was obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. And God
Almighty hung his own son on the cross, a man, meek and lowly. He was meek, lowly. He submitted,
Barbara, to that. And God Almighty put him on a
cross and killed him, made his soul an offering for sin on the
altar, burned his body, put him through, as it were, hell, separation
from God. That's why he was made flesh. That's why he was a man. That's
why he was meek and lowly. All right? Hang on, you'll see. He's not that way anymore. These people are still talking
about a Jesus. Around about Christmas time, so-called Christmas time,
they get all sentimental over a baby. He's not a baby anymore. He came one time as a child.
A child was born, yes. A son is given, yes. but only
for a reason, and he's not a baby anymore. He's not a Jewish carpenter. He's not a man meek and lowly.
He's not gentle Jesus, meek and mild, as Catholicism calls him.
He's not that way anymore. Isaiah saw him. Tell us about
him, Isaiah. He's, ha, and lifted up. Trumpet, ha, and lifted up. How high, Isaiah? Nobody's seen
him. Nobody's ever been, in our generation,
nobody's ever been in the presence of anybody truly great. Nobody's
ever seen a sovereign king. Nobody. People call the President
of the United States George. They just cut, they say anything
they want to about him, don't they, Sam? Anything they want
to. Maligning, bad mouthing, who cares? Say it to his face,
you won't get arrested. We're talking about God here.
We're talking about the God of the Bible here. What's he like? What's Jesus
Christ really like? What's he like? He's not like
we think he is. He's not like men think he is.
He's not like preachers say he is. He is as he says he is. Higher
and lifted up. What's that mean? Infinitely
above us. Christ said this even as a man.
He said, I am from above. You're from beneath. That's what he said. Higher and
lifted up. You know, people think that we
preach God to sovereign folks. The half has never been told.
I have never been able to preach God as high as I want to preach.
I've never been able to declare God in his sovereignty as he
really is. Like I said, nobody in our generation
has ever seen one sovereign king ever. Talking about that movie
we saw in the days of Pharaoh and back in the days when kings
were kings. And according to a man's power,
if he was the most powerful king, he was the king of kings. Kings
bowed to him. And whatever he said went. I
don't like it. Too bad. He can't do that. Watch me. That's God. This is the beginning
of wisdom. The fear of the Lord. Nobody
fears a God who loves everybody. Why should you? Why should you? High and lifted up, sitting on
a throne, reigning and ruling over the armies of heaven and
the inhabitants of the earth. and none could stake his hand
or say unto him, What doest thou? That's what Scripture says. That's
the cause of the Bible. I'm not making this up. And you know who doesn't like
God like that? There's a world full of people
that get angry when you declare God as He is. Just declare God.
Just preach Isaiah 6. A world full of people that doesn't
like God like that. They don't like God. How about you? Does this bother
you? When I declare God as He is,
does it bother you? Those that fear the Lord love
God as God. You can't, Jeanette, I can't
preach Him high enough for you, can I? You see, what makes the world
exceedingly mad makes God's people exceedingly glad. What makes the world angry to
the point of gnashing their teeth, makes God's people, fills them
with joy and rejoicing? Why? He's my God. And I belong to Him. And He's
ordered all things concerning me. And neither hell nor anybody
can say anything or do anything. He's God. Well. It's trying to build a
temple first one is trying to run this is written in this report
that the service of people that is following. It was talked about
a countless people that is a number which no man can number is a
very very. precise, a number which no man
can number, but God has them numbered. Why? How? He chose them. This is what
makes God God, people. This is one of the things that
makes God God. Whoever has a free will is God.
Whoever does according to his will is God. See, free will is not the answer.
That's the problem. Man's problem. That's his problem.
That's what started this whole mess in the garden. And that's
what's going to make God destroy this whole planet. Man's shaking
his fist in God's face. My will. We'll see about that. the temple, a number which no
man can number, but he has a number. And above this throne stood seraphims. Our Lord has seraphims, angelic
creatures. What are they? I don't know.
Nobody does. But they're angelic creatures. He made them. He made
them for one reason. He made them for one purpose,
to serve him. You remember the Old Testament
where the Lord had them make the cherubs hanging over the
argument that there were used to the Lord had these Solomon
make these golden. Cherubs put them over the art
covering down looking over the art of which Hebrews says which
things the angels desire to look into the picture of the seraphs
that look upon down upon the throne of Christ on the throne. These syrups are created by God,
created beings for one reason. To do what? To shout His glory. Just all the time. All the time. Declaring God. Declaring God.
Declaring God. That's all they do. 24 hours
a day. There are no day and night, but if there were, it would be
24 hours a day, Sam. 365 days a week. That's what
they do. They say one thing. Over and over. Over and over.
They're going to declare the God of the Bible. They're going
to declare the God of the Bible. They're going to declare the
God who's on the throne. They're going to declare it. What are
they going to say? One word's going to describe it. One word's
going to describe the God of the Bible. Define the God of
the Bible. Declare the God of the Bible.
One word. What would you say it is? I'll
tell you what the world says. And they missed it. What did they say? One word, and they
say it three times. And you sung it. Holy. Holy. Holy. And they said it loud. I wouldn't
attempt to. Holy. This is the chief attribute
of God. This declares God above all things
else. This. There are many things you
cannot understand about God by saying that love is his chief
attribute. Explain hell. If God is love,
why is there a hell? Why? There is a hell because
God is holy. You see? God shall punish sin, must punish
sin. Why? Because he's holy. What does
it mean? What does it mean, holy? See?
Men don't have a clue. You know that in the history
of time, for only thirty-three years have human beings ever
seen holiness. In six thousand years. Thirty-three years is the only
time men saw holiness. And they hated it. They killed
him. Holiness. What does it mean,
holiness? What does it mean? Man doesn't know. I can't declare
it. It has something to do with verses
of scripture like this. Listen very carefully now. You
won't hear these quoted on the radio or TV or by modern preachers. You won't hear it. God dwelleth
in light which no man can approach unto. Our God is a consuming fire. Hebrews 12.29. The heavens are
not pure in his sight. He charges his angels with folly,
the holy angels. Holy, holy, holy. He's the Lord of hosts. Holy,
holy, holy. Above, infinitely above, infinitely
higher, loftier, infinitely better in his thought. He said, my ways
are not your ways. My thoughts are not your thoughts.
He said as the heavens are higher than the earth so are my thoughts
than your thoughts and my ways and your way. Doesn't that. What
does that say of man's all of his little easy belief is on
that guy. What does that say about that. Holy. Holy. Holy. The Lord of hosts. And it says here, Isaiah said,
the whole earth, they said, the angels said, the whole earth
is full of his glory. The heavens declare it, the firmament
show of his handiwork, all the work of his fingers, full of
his glory. Men don't see it. They don't
behold his glory. They don't see it. They don't even believe it. They reject it. They willingly,
ignorant of it, make up things to try to disprove it. All full
of his glory. The glory of his eternal power
and God and our Lord said this to those Pharisees you know who
hated him, hated God. He said you do err not knowing
the scriptures nor the power of God. And that clearly defines
modern religion today. They do err not knowing what
this book says about God nor the power of God, who God is,
what he has done, what he is able to do, what he shall do,
what he hath said. is Godhead. Folks, if God is only God when we let
him, he's not God. You understand? You understand? The world doesn't understand
this. The world doesn't understand this, Sherry, does it? Make him
Lord. Well, hold on now. Hold on now. That's not in the Scriptures
anywhere. I'll tell you what it does say in Psalm 2. It says
God that made him Lord. The Lord hath declared a decree,
Thou art my Son, Thou art Lord, King. I've set my King. God said,
I've set him on the holy hill of Zion. One time they tried
to make Jesus king. Remember, they tried to get him
to make him king, and he wouldn't let them. Why? He already is.
And see, when he comes to you, he doesn't ask you, Will you
make me Lord of your life? Oh, that's blasphemy. Any king,
sovereign king, ever come to their subject, won't you please
accept me as your personal king? Anybody in history, any sovereign
ever say that? Huh? Did Pharaoh say, would you
please accept me? Huh? Well, this is God! This
is God! Who said, let me live! Said,
spend the world! Put the stars in the space! Heart
to see! Die, you die! Live, you live! This is God! This is the Lord, King of kings. King's heart, Scripture says,
heart is in the hands of the Lord. Like the rivers of water,
he turns it with us wherever he will. That's God. Don't shout. The Lord told me
to. Lift it up. Spare not. He told
me. doing what he will because he
will. And no one can say you can't
do that. He's God. And who is he going to have in
his heaven? Those he reveals this to, those who bow Those who by His sovereign electing
grace. You see, everybody doesn't like
this. Most people hate this. But God, in mercy and in grace,
chooses some of them. He said, in Psalm, Isaiah 43,
He said, You have I chosen. That's what He said. He said
to His disciples, You didn't choose Me, I chose you. And Isaiah
43 says, You have I chosen that you might know Me, that I'm God. Beside me there is none else.
There is no God. Satan's not God. Man's not God.
I'm the Lord. And I'm going to destroy this
whole shooting match of God-hating people, free-will-worshipping
people, man-exalting people. Bring them down, God says. I'm
going to bring it all down and just burn it to smithereens.
And I alone will be exalted in that time. It's a part of the Bible that
most people don't know. And folks, did I shout too loud?
Did I declare God as God? The half hasn't been told. You
see, if we could, if God would open, if God, like Elijah's servant,
the Lord Open his eyes and he saw. The mountains around the
angels. All the heavenly host. We can't see anything. We can't
see anything. We're flesh. We're worms. We're dogs. We're
walking around. We don't have a clue. The only
clue we have about anything or anybody is this book. God opened their eyes. And man
walks around in his pompousness and pride and talks about, God
did, God doth. He that sitteth in the heavens,
Psalm 2 says, laughs! He that sitteth in the heavens,
laughs! I won't let God do it. I won't
let God do it. He's laughing! The fact that he is God is the
reason he doesn't get up and do something about it. Because he's already done it,
he's already purposed what he's going to do. You and I respond to everybody
that crosses us. It's done, it's done. You see, this is the only God
worth worshipping. This is the only kind of God we'll fear. Why did I quote that? Why did
God say that? I just quoted. Why did God say
that? Because this is the beginning of wisdom. Our young people know
not to use that name. Nearly every young person today
has got the name of God on their lips. God said it. I thou shalt
not take my name in vain. But every young person says it
as an oath, an oath of God, you know. Our children know that.
Why? They know the scriptures that are able to make them wise
unto salvation. Wise how? The fear of the Lord. It's the beginning of wisdom.
People of the Lord have mercy. You're hearing from God's Word
that if you ever say that, it better free from the heart with
a desire for God to have mercy on your sinful soul. Oh, Lord,
David said, Unite our hearts to fear thy name. Holy, holy, holy. Isaiah, I close with him. Isaiah,
when he saw the Lord, what happened? What was his reaction? Verse five, it's the same with
all of God's Same reaction. He said, woe is me. I'm undone. I'm unfit. I'm unclean. I'm unworthy. I'm going to be cut off. I'm
going to be cast out. I don't belong here. God's holy. And he's going to kill me. That's what he said. That's what he said. See, only
a sight of God, truly, the Lord Jesus Christ holding us. And
one message, you can't preach the gospel in one message. You
can't do it. Salvation is not accomplished in one message.
You understand that? You just plant it and see. Calvary declares how holy God
is. And we say, Whoa, I'm under this
is the reaction of every single child of God when they hear of
the God of God reveals himself to them every single true God-fearing
person every person in God puts in their heart the fear of the
one. They say, Whoa, I'm the chief
of sinners. I'm undone. I'm cut off. I don't
belong here. I'm the worst person here. I
don't know. I'm unworthy. Unworthy, unworthy, unfit, cut
off. Isaiah thought, I'm cut off now.
I'll give you a good illustration of this. Simon Peter. They were in a boat one day,
and they'd been fishing a long time. They'd been fishing all
their lives. And one day they'd fished all
day and all night and caught nothing. That's a picture of
man. You know, he can live his whole
life. not attained anything. And Christ, the omniscient, all-knowing,
God in flesh, the Lord, master of the sea, the one whom angels
answer to, the King of kings and Lord of lords. A man? Yeah. He'll catch. And he called the
fish into the net. He said, he can't bring men. You don't have a God. Men don't
have a God. If they can't do anything with what they let him,
they're more God than he is. He said, you cast your net right
down there. And he did. And Peter and they
brought the net up. And Peter said this. Here's what
Peter said. He said, see if you understand
what he meant. Peter said, depart from me, Lord. I'm a sinful man. You understand what he meant?
Same thing as I said. He saw who this was. If he knows
the fish and orders the fish, he knows every thought in my
head. He knows everything about me, and he's ordered all things
concerning me. I'm in the presence of God here,
and I'm a wicked sinner. And Robin, though, everybody
that says this, God sends a cold from the altar. You know what that is? Something
happening on the altar, something on the altar, something burning
on the altar. That's what the disciples felt when their hearts
started burning. The only thing that will purge
iniquity. The only thing that will open
blind eyes and deaf ears to who God is. The only thing that will
put away sin. The only thing that will make us holy and allow
us into his presence is something on the altar. That's someone.
The only way to approach God is through Christ. Everyone who says, depart from
me, he says, I'll never depart. I'll never leave. No. Everyone
who says, I'm undone, he says, no, you're complete. Everyone
who says, I'm cut off, he says, they'll never perish. Everyone
who fears his name he says. You're not. Everyone who fears his name he
says. You're not. Back on. And that's how they
found holy yes you need to know that first thing you need to
know. You know worship me right you know what your song you want
to order your worship you're going to order all that you do
and say and so forth And I will set things in order
for you. All right we're going to sing a song in closing. Verse
number sixteen. In number sixteen I've got to.
Get on the road and for. Him number sixteen. And the job
you come up here please lead us. The birth of the come up. Sixteen. The stand.
