All right, Psalm 19, we're going
to get through this tonight. And I do not apologize for taking
too much time, which perhaps still hasn't been told. Sunday
mornings we have, most of the time, we have visitors, we have
those who are not here on Wednesday nights, we have those who have
not yet committed to Christ. I told one of the brethren, I'm
going to just hammer it and hammer it and hammer it. Same old thing,
but we keep hearing it. And not worry about whatever
time getting through. I'm going to keep hammering it
until those people hear it. Isaiah said, what shall I cry? And the Lord said, cry all the
places you cry, and they hold your God. And that's it. So Sunday
morning, he said, cry like a paranormal. Sunday morning, that's what we
try to do for those who may have never heard it before. On a late
afternoon plane. Wednesday night is a special
time, though. I like Wednesday nights for the brethren, for
the family. It's not like J. David, as you've
already known, but David is the writer of this psalm, and David,
our Lord said, is a man of great faith. Don't you wish, don't you want
that to be said? David was a man of great faith.
And when we say David was a man who forgot his own heart, that
means he wanted God's will to be done. He wanted God's ways
to be accomplished. He wanted to do God's way. He
had the mind of God, thoughts toward God, and the character
of Christ. That's what I want. David was a man of great faith.
Great faith. It's obvious here in the Wheel
of History. in his words, a man of great
faith, a man close to his God. God didn't save him. He spent
much time with his God, didn't he? Talk to him. The Lord spoke
back to him. Yet I told you before, and I'll
tell you again, that God never spoke out like David, ever. It
sounded like he did then. When you hear David talk, it
sounded like David was talking to him, carrying on a conversation.
Isn't that what it was? But God wasn't speaking out loud. David was. God didn't speak out
loud, did He? It says in the book of God. How
long? Three hundred and something years.
Three hundred. Walked by faith. We'll see how
in a minute. David had faith. Yet he never
stalled out, never stalled out. God never appeared to him in
a vision, or a dream, or a bodily person. Never. Thank Jesus, God,
with all his heart. David, his communion with God,
as I stated. How did David's heart have God's
own heart? David's faith, David's communion
with his Lord. Where did that come from? Where did he get it? How did
he get it? And we have more than he
did. Maybe they had five or six books.
Maybe. He might not have had that. All the way to his heart.
David's faith ain't gon' happen. I always had faith in one way. I hear you, Lord. Believe in the Word of
God. Believe in God's Word. Communion with God. God speaks
one way, through His Word. David was a student with Moses
from this time. David was... and I don't get
through it. I've got arrows in front of me. David was a student
of creation. He sat down, sitting out on the
hillside, and he looked at God's creation, and he didn't rejoice. David grew up, and because of
his clever he did, he did it hard. You know, sit hard. Don't stare at his face. Look
at his face. Don't be a knob of the law. Look
at the law. Ain't no student of creation.
You know that being a student of creation, if you really study
it, sit outside, observe God's glory, marvelous creation, like
he said, it's a train of glorified. And what you have to do in order
to do that is be quiet. This is most of it. This is our
problem. This is, especially this generation, this problem.
It's hopping in a bunch. And when you're out there alone,
you have to shut up. You don't hear your own voice,
because it's just about a noise. You hear God's voice. It causes you to be, reflect,
to reflect. Solitude makes you reflect on
things. This is what I'm giving as good
help, good advice. Solitude makes you meditate. Meditation is good. I'm not talking
about Transcendental. I'm talking about meditating
on God's vision. I guarantee you, things will
come to mind. God's Word will come to mind. Honey, look, listen, bird. God's Word coming out of His
Word. Go and consider the Heavens.
It's all convincing. It's a faith. As we said, how
can anybody look at this marvelous creation and not believe God
exists? How? Because they're not looking
at it. So that's a non-exercise. Nobody's
shopping on that smell of nothing, either. That's what people need
to do. That's good always on every hand. Right now, faith is broken. David
was a student of creation. David had good faith. David was a solitary man. David
was a meditated man. David was a man of the people.
He met the reflection and so forth, wasn't he? He was a sweet
man. David was a student of God's
power. He just didn't have a lot of
it. He was a student of scripture. All knowledge! All knowledge comes from Him. You won't know anybody. Where it
goes, you won't get it right. You know that? Nothing will get
you anywhere. God says about man's wisdom,
it's the foolishness. Whatever we acquire in this life
really won't do us any good, except the experiences we go
through, which should Remind us of something I said. But all
knowledge, all wisdom, knowledge, someone said, is the horse. You may have a good horse, but
you don't know how to ride it. Wisdom is to ride it. Wisdom
is to put you to practice. Wisdom is to... Knowledge is
seeing, believing, hearing. Wisdom is what? Knowledge is
the most wisdom in society. All peace, all peace. All peace. In the world we still have figuration.
Much figuration. All peace. A, double, L. No rush. All to the word, yeah. They're kind of tricky, but...
He said, don't trust them, Prince. Don't trust them, you're lying
to yourself. Don't trust them any longer,
anything. It's a smash, it's a bad thing. Trust the Lord. Do good. Commit always on the
hand of the righteous man. I'll think. I'll contest my sins. That's power. That is our trouble.
You know, that's my trouble. That's your trouble. That's our
trouble. This content, this content brings covetousness. This content
brings bitterness. This content brings trouble and
recklessness and unbelief. This is all contentment. Paul,
when Paul said, I've learned in what certain state I am in,
he didn't. How? He sat on the table and
said, I said, what do you think? And after a while he thought,
you know, I'd rather be in here than out there. All contented, all contented
by it. But Solomon wrote a whole book about it. It may be a little
easy. Don't look for happiness, contentment, anywhere. It's very
easy. It's the same thing. You heard that? You heard that
come out today? Comfort in trials. A-double-L comfort in trials. Comfort in trials. Not going
to give it any word. If anybody, anything, is like that. When God says His Word
is His power, He I want to make you content. I want to give you
peace. I want to make you rejoice. I want to give you comfort, consolation. It comes from God's Word. Our
Lord said this, He said, Man does not live by bread alone.
Man does not live by bread alone. Beasts, animals do, but man does
not live, I mean, really live by bread alone. Beasts always
care about eating. Man lives, He said, really lives.
He's going to live. How? By every word. Not a word, not some word, but
every word. We've got a lifetime to find
every word, and chew on it. About every word that comes to
mind, that's how a man and a woman were just existing. Every word. Alright, here's what David said
about God's Word. That's my introduction. David
said God's Word in verse 7, he said it's perfect. Okay, he's
perfect. You know, as I said earlier,
as David, Solomon said, what's every man's nights to do, do
it with all your might. This is the same with reading
the Word. God said, you search for me with
all your might. You'll find that somebody is
searching for you. This Word is no question, unless
you look at it yourself. No. He's a good man. Somebody told me this morning,
God's a good man. But only when you're at it. There's
something about it. It's kind of like eating something,
obviously. I can show you, just look at
this, look at this, in this beautiful cellar that we have here. This is how we eat. This is where
we look at it, we ponder it. Chew on it, and look at it, or
say it. Don't pity Simon so much, he
can't eat it. Every one of the children
of Israel has to go out and gather in the mountains. Everybody has
to do such a business. What would happen if they hadn't? They'd
go home, and their bellies would grow out, and they'd start eating
this peanut, and they'd be miserable the rest of the day. Oh Lord,
it's perfect. It's perfect. God's Word is perfect.
It's lost for nothing. It needs nothing. And that's
why I would ask you to look at it and not so much at me. I walk
with you, it's imperfect. My comments on this are imperfect. My attempts at preaching it are
way imperfect. God's Word is perfect. Look at it. It's perfect. And
it will perfect us. It's perfect, it wants nothing,
it needs nothing, and it will perfect us. Yes, it will. It will bring us to where we
want for nothing and need for nothing. God's doctrine, that's what the
word means, but because reference to God's law is His doctrine,
it's teaching. Law, or doctrine, God never gives
advice. God is never given any advice. Advice you can take your living
advice. It's doctrine, it's teaching, everything God said. It's teaching. God's law, doctrine, perfect,
no contradictions, no ambiguity, no error, nothing whatsoever.
In fact, in everything. Word of the living God. Converting
the soul? Oh, no. Converting the soul. It's the only thing that's wisdom. The only thing that will turn
us from darkness to light, turn us from ignorance to wisdom,
from rebellion to faith. I know this more than anybody. I really do. But I look into
the faces of rich people and I keep preaching to them, keep
preaching to them, shout. speak rightly, cry and laugh,
move around, stand still, wave your hand, count your faces,
count for one. That ain't going to happen tonight. Only when God Almighty takes
His Word and cuts the heart with it, wait for us to know what
that is. Only then, that's the only place
we'll be. I felt the power. I knew it was
God's Word that first struck this man's heart. That's what
it is. It wasn't an emotional camp meeting.
It wasn't the charismatic preacher. It was God's Word. That's it. It struck my mind
out. It struck my cold heart. That's the only thing that was
real. So therefore, And we, together, us here, have been through almost
50 books in the Bible, verse by verse. And errors, keep trying
to figure it out. God is one of those, He knows
which errors we need to deal with. We just want to keep trying. Converting souls, the one thing
we have to convert. We need to convert now. God's
word is His power. The only thing that will convert
a testimony of the Lord, verse 7, is sure. It's sure. What God says by Himself, this
book, everybody says that. How is it sure, John? It's sure. Sure is what I'm saying. Yes,
it is. He's proven himself time and
time again. He's proven his worth over time
and time again. It's sharp. It's absolutely sharp. God's
Word is sure. It's a testimony about Himself
and about us. Oh, it's sure, it's sure. What
God says about us, it's sure and right. It's sure. Everything that man will do or
feel, I've done it, said it, testified of it, and I've done
it and know it. I have a testimony about me.
Is that true? Sure. That testimony is false. Now
here's where the trouble comes. Sure. He said, come unto me. I want to be with you. What do you want to think about it? That he could believe his own visions? Sure. You know,
if it's applied, if it's applied, God's word is really applied,
I believe, it will give you assurance. Assurance. You make that note. Everyone of us,
everyone of us worries about whether we are on the right track
or not. And you should. That's the spirit. That's knowing
yourself. That's repentance. That's not
putting confidence in the flesh. That's human. That's what it
always is. What's wrong with it? As long as you're a believer,
if you're a believer, as long as you live, that's what it's
all about. If you get to be an 80 or 90
year old man or woman, you're not going to, you're going to
trust yourself even less than him. The longer you live with
yourself, the more you're going to know yourself. Well, now, the longer we go along,
the longer He shows His mercy and His grace. Just a moment
after that, yeah, didn't He? Be merciful to me after now and
all that's done and said and done, huh? That's His word to
say. That is merciful. How long was
it last? It's sure. How long was it last?
It's saying, how long was it last? Half a thousand times I've said
it. Half a thousand times I've said it and his word wasn't even
there. His mercy. What's mercy? It's
doing the guilty. Huh? It's doing the un-deserving.
It's the no-goods. It's the sinners. How do you do that? How do you
do that? How do you do that? How do you do that? How do you
do that? How do you do that? How do you do that? How do you do that?
How do you do that? How do you do that? How do you do that? How do you do that?
How do you do that? How do you do that? How do you do that? How do you
do that? How do you do that? How do you do that? How do you do
that? How do you do that? How do you do that? How do you
do that? How do you do that? How do you do that? How do you do that? How do you do that?
How do you do that John Lytton once said, when I looked to me
in all his vain and dark and wild, he said, and I made myself
a child, a child of God. But he said, now, if I did not
feel thus, if I didn't feel this, I would be a child of God. I didn't worry
about it. I behaved for a sense. I had
no conscience. I had no heart for a sense. I had no recollection or conviction
of sin. I felt assurance that God was
uplifting me, being with me, that He cared about me, that
He kept telling me about me. Oh, hear that? Hear that? That's a good word. Testimonial
of sure, making rise of simple. Making rise of simple. Ah, that's
what it says. Ah, that's what it says. That's a good word. That little
simple sound. Hear that? Illustrate that. Tell
them. The church board brought him before, the religious board
brought him before the men that examined his testimony. What
did you have to say about yourself at that time? He said, I just
know sinner and nothing at all, but Jesus Christ is my all. Well, what do you think about
the soteriology? He said, well, I don't know. I just know sinner and nothing
at all, but Jesus Christ is my all. Now come on, Simon, that's
what you think about it. Listen to that hillbilly, he
said, I don't know much about it, but I do know this. I'm just an old
sinner. Ain't nothing about it. But Jesus
Christ is my only God. Is that enough? Is that enough
faith to save you? Sure is. Make a prize and
send it back. Send the sound of the prize. Verse 8. Statues of the Lord
are right. I don't want to get through this, because I don't
know what I'm certain. I forgot. But it says, "...the
statutes of the Lord are right, the statutes being God's decree,
God's appointments, God's predestined purpose concerning all things,
ordered and assured, God's fated vision." That's 2 Samuel 1, isn't
it? He said, although I have been
not so bad. What would you want me to tell you?
Let's look at it. Let's look at it. That's a wonderful
approach. Let's look at it. Let's take
a second. Let me tell you. These are the
last words that he made. May they be nice to you. The
second time was wrong, but we had it. Don't put a big ol' cat
here. And when you get down, don't
look at it. Don't expect any words. Verse
2, the Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer, and
God is my rock, and him whom I trust, he is my shield, and
my horn, my salvation, my high tower. Chapter 23. Well, that's
good, but it's much easier to see that. Chapter 23. Okay. These people have some work to
do. Verse 3, God is your rock, and he is your stake to me. He
that rules over me, I must be judged, for he is the fear of
God. And verse 5, although my house
be not so with God, yet he hath made with me an everlasting covenant,
for in all things and sure. This is all my salvation. Look at that. It's all by desire. It's what you desire. It's what
you hope. Although it doesn't seem like
it's growing. Although it doesn't seem like
I'm growing, but maybe that's perfect. Although I don't seem
like I'm making progress, it's all God's creation. We preach a sovereign God, huh?
That's how I remember it. You know what, brother? It's
not so we can be different from everybody. It's not so we can
be adamant men on our proper business. It's a human being's
only hope. It's God's only hope. You know that? It's God's only
hope. It's what it's all about. And
it's a statute for the Lord of right. Here's what Abraham said
in Genesis 18. When God was going to go down and drive out a whole
city. with his relatives in it. God's
going to kill people he knows, his businessmen, his relatives,
his wife, not sons. Wife and daughters of their sons,
and Abraham was well, family. God said, I'm going to kill them. And here's Abraham's testimony.
He said, shall not the judges put you to death? You're not sorry about it. I am sorry about it. So stop. You're not sorry
about it. You cannot pretend to be everything
that I can't take advantage of. Take advantage. Take advantage. And folks, it says here, back
in our text, it says, "...that ye to the Lord are rightful rejoicers
of heart." It's rejoicers of heart. Don't they will in times
of badness bring joy again in realizing God is with them. That's
what Job had to come to conclude. Come on. That's the way it's
spoken for us. All we're saying is that, come
on now, let us in there. Everybody's dead. He doesn't
have a gun in his hand. He's got a bow and arrow on his
side. He's in pain, but he's hot! The Lord gave, the Lord picked the
way, the best way to make it. Shall we not receive evil for
any important reason for this? Has no one ever been delivered?
That's all we know. Didn't that father smile back
at his face? Sure did. And the baby will rejoice
in your heart. When it's all over, we will rejoice. You and me. We will rejoice.
When it's all said and done, when this whole human matter's
over, we're going to rejoice in our heavenly marriage. We're
going to be singing, if we've never sang before, we're going
to be singing in German. This is my gathering nonetheless,
for joy. And I like it. I like the musician.
Let's sit down tonight. Thank you. He said, really, he
does. Rupert George is a joy-unseekable
man. The Lord runs it for works and
means, and most of all, the Lord has done it all for us. Praise the Lord, His goodness
is wonderful works to us. If we could put a power shoulder
to that here, we would be a man. And we'll say, I'm so glad about
this. And my God said, I'm so glad,
leading me from this world, making me know certainly His Word, making
me look to Him. If this place was a bed of roses,
and all pine, and all goodness, we'd never think, we'd never
get God's love. If you don't keep God's promise, what's happening
to the world? Posterity. That's when the Lord's
going to come. It's not going to be a family
of the grave. It's going to be a posterity.
It's going to be a family of the Word. Look at the next thing.
Verse 8. The commandment of the Lord is
pure. It's enlightened in the eyes. The commandment of the
Lord. Oh my, you know salvation is by suffering from man? Psalm 71, verse 3 says,
Thou hast given commandment to save me. Commandment of the Lord
is pure, but all is Lord's commandment. It says, Be a commandment, not
be a commandment of others. As if it's all one commandment.
There's no other. Repent. You know, nothing will
un-murder me, purify me. You know, it's just, you know,
it's in you, it's in each of you, each of you, each of you,
each of you, each of you, each of you, each of you, each of
you, each of you, each of you, each of you, each of you, each
of you, each of you, each of you, each of you, each of you, each of
you, each of you, each of you, each of you, each of you, each
of you, each of you, each of you, each of you, each of you, each of
you, each of you, each of you, each of you, each of you, each of you, each of you, each of you, each of
you, each of you, each of you, each of you, each of you, each of you, each of
you, each of you, each of you, each of you, each of you, each of you, each
of It's being taken in and told
it's our third song. Isn't it? I mean, it's being
filled up with the sin of the song. And there's not going to
be clarity about that. But there's forgiveness of sin. Repent, child. That's the commandment. Repent! Now, imagine if y'all
knew that word, repent. It's not just a commandment.
It's a good thing. It'll purify your heart, your
soul, your mind. Guilt, hell in. And here's the man. Here's the man. Nothing will set you right, purify
you. Nothing will purify you. Faith. Believe. Follow Him. Follow Him. Walk in His path. Realize, hey,
some harm is not bad. It's good. Now, this is the best
sign. That's the command. It's enlightenment. It's current
life. Enlightenment's at hand. Until God gives the command,
we're not going to know anything, hear anything, do anything, until
God gives the command. Oh, if He does, my dad used to
yell at me if he ever really gave the command. That's the first thing I'll tell
you. God's Word, given to man. Open that. First time. Fear the Lord is plain. Fear
the Lord is plain. Fear, and there's no suspicion
today. Yeah. It's obvious. There's no
fear of God. There's no worry about it. Yeah,
there's no fear of God, no lazy words, no lazy repent, no laziness
to stop. It's all a creature's fault.
Always no fear is a perfect thought, because a person adopts his differences. Adopts his brother or brother.
And there's no imperative point. You know, I'm not sure that's
imperative. You just let him have his way or have him. And
so there's no fear. And so people
do whatever they want. With no concept. No plans of
conscience. Who cares? God doesn't need a whole section
who cares. Now look. Well, that isn't painless. That
is no fear. No fear. Fear of course. Fear of God is a shrine to sin.
That is. Those who don't fear God won't
do anything. Those who do, There's no big thing, but the
Spirit of the Lord keeps us from sinning. Right? Now, this is it. This is it. Number sixteen-six. And there's a cover, though,
if you want to read sometime, a whole cover of sixteen. By
the Spirit of the Lord, men are complete. The Spirit of the Lord is the head
of people. Show me a man who feared God, and I'll show you
a man who feared the patient. Listen to it, maybe listen to
it, but then throw the book, throw the whole book, and this
is the book. It's a struggle. A struggle. For our soul. Now, who's on his own? The Lord Jesus has no one. You see that? No God, we're sure. He's suspended. He's suspended,
so there's no question. Yeah, but everybody knows that
I, myself, Christ, I came off the sin of man. Come out of heaven.
It's just me. He paid the price of sin, so
he thought we were better off than Christ, and I heard a shirk
from heaven. But we're all right. We're all
right. The city's good people. But in this world, he said, you
shouldn't have to be a good sinner. And this is what the Lord does.
He puts Mr. Gottman here, in the heart of
this people, in the story of the Holy War, known as Book.
And I told you it's called Book. There was a town of Mansoul,
and Leopolis, fancy word for the bed, came to the town of
Mansoul and talked his way in. came to the ear bass, and the
people just looked at him, because he sounded so sweet. He promised
them all kind of good things. They just opened the door, and
left right away. Eye bass. That's it. That's the
way it was. There were many of them. So we
all just went in, and he went straight to the throne, in the
middle of the town, and sat up between, and he grew there and
then. And he said, close your eyes. Close your eyes. Close your ears. Don't let anybody
in. Don't let anybody in here. By God's grace and mercy,
I went out on the downed mantle to sundown. Make space. I'm the only one that
could get there. I went out and sent, that's the
thing, that's the only thing that could put an end to it. The devil's, the devil's, the
devil's, the devil's. So he came. You can't rush out
of pain to the agony that puts someone really in a place of
nothing desirable about him. When you put your game on, they
will just drop it at their own foot before you know it, they
won't do it the way they did before. I know, it's stupid.
It's just the way I thought it was. And he went in and made a long
story short, book thirteen. Went in and took captivity captive. Put him in chains and led him
down the streets of that city. to the shouts and the cries of
rejoicing of all the people who had been held captive by the
others. And it says about old Immanuel, Immanuel was walking
down through the town, and the people were so rejoicing, so
rejoicing that they had been delivered, and now they finally
saw some beauty in their deliverer. All the captains of their salvation,
they saw some of it, but they all got impounded. I just want
to step in his steps." And he went to the throne, old
Emmanuel went to the throne, and sat down there and reigned
and ruled. And said, set up people to rule
in that town, Mansoul. One of them was Mr. Godwin here. He raised up this man named Mr.
Dr. Feare in the town of Mansoul,
and he said, Now, Mr. Dr. Feare is not satisfied. Listen
to this. You want to have a listen to
this? Mr. Dr. Feare is not satisfied
until every street, every lane, every alley, every valley, every
corner of the town of Mansoul is filled with the typhoons of
dirt man. That's what Mr. Gottlieb here didn't say. It's clean. That's famous fire here in this
song. Verse nine, If anybody had said that to you,
you'd be justified, you'd be justified in your state. Everybody
would say that. And you'd be cleared of your
judgment. Whatever he does is right, he's right. Whatever good he tells us, we
all deserve it. Whatever evil he tells everybody,
we deserve it. We have nothing. It's right. That's what it's all about. If
the Lord and man may be right. Now, if the Lord said anything
is only right, He's promised. So that's what
I'm going to tell you. And I'm just going to have a
little bit of coffee. First man, he says, that the
Lord be desired. He's talking about all these
things, man, all these things. Fear the Lord, call the Lord,
testimony of the Lord, statutes of the Lord, commandments of
the Lord, judgments of the Lord. There's more than we desire in the Lord. You hear me? This world
wants more than that. And they're getting it. Really?
They're getting it. That's how it started. It, it,
uh, that David, David, Solomon, I, I always forget it. Solomon, who said, keep me from
riches. That's how I forget it, too. You ever run into a dollar money?
What do you think? And I mean, you know, for us,
a dollar money is probably a thousand dollars, you know. What do you
do? You do this for money. What do you do? Was it a good
amount? Anybody say that? You're a liar
if you don't admit that. Someone said, "'Beat me from
riches, that's how I'll get you.'" And he said, "'Beat me from poverty,
that's how I'll steal, and learn to coach, not to lead.'" Goad, both be desired and goaded. That will carry on, people, this
is the end. What we desire to know yet is much finer gold.
Fine gold. About fine things these days
is. Sweeter? About a third sweeter
than honey. Sweeter than honey. Let me, let
me just ask you. Ask, ask, ask. Is, is, what you're
hearing that I'm speaking, I can't accept. You've heard me talk. You've heard me talk. Now, if it's not tonight, then
maybe even the heart's having problems or whatever, but at
some point, at some time, when the gospel is preached, when
we read it, it's a super, it's a very super, super thing. He said, the honeycombs. Now,
Barbara, I never did like the honeycombs. My dad did. We always
got married with the honeycombs. I tried the honeycombs. And I
even, when I got older, a man, I tried, so. And he couldn't,
couldn't, couldn't, couldn't, couldn't, couldn't, could never
finish. Couldn't, couldn't, couldn't, couldn't, couldn't, couldn't,
couldn't, couldn't, couldn't, couldn't, couldn't, couldn't, couldn't, couldn't,
couldn't, couldn't, couldn't, couldn't, couldn't, couldn't, couldn't, couldn't, couldn't, couldn't,
couldn't, couldn't, couldn't, couldn't, couldn't, couldn't, couldn't,
couldn't, couldn't, couldn't, couldn't, couldn't, couldn't, couldn't, couldn't,
couldn't, couldn't, couldn't, couldn't, couldn't, couldn't, couldn't, couldn't,
couldn't, couldn't, couldn't, couldn't, couldn't, couldn't, couldn't, couldn't, couldn't, couldn't,
couldn't, couldn't, couldn't Now, we've been on Psalm 19. Time to get through this. Psalm 19, 11, there's another
Psalm. Verse 11, "...Moreover, by them
is thy servant warned." He didn't need warnings. Man is such an
ignorant, chaotic, stupid creature. He needs signs everywhere. But
he can do it to himself. No, that was the first time it
was heard. I'm not going to cower anyway. Speaking of the Spirit
of God, I don't like that. Go ahead and teach that. You
don't like to hear it? Brother John went and said, eat
it. Tell him to cut the rocks, John
said. He is. Warnings. I need warnings. This is a warning
to God's people. God's Word is full of warnings.
No, I was not listening to him. I don't need new warnings. I
don't believe that. I don't believe it's about murder if we're not
listening to the warnings. Oh, warn me. See, you won't be
warned. And I've heard it so many times.
He's been killing us so far. Warn me, I'll never hear it again. Stop it! Don't! Take this to... Team! Because, listen, I didn't
seek my past. I think that I'm done. I'm worn
out, you see. And in keeping with them, there's
great reward. The Lord is my shepherd. We've
got such a kind nation. My horse is about ready to leave
my farm and go to Cairns, to go and buy. Terence will start
counting. He's faster than he could ever
be. He's going to carry his luggage. He's 200 pounds of weight. He's
going to sweat. He's going to crawl around. He's
going to have to stand tight. He's going to have to put a saddle
on his back. He's going to have to do everything
he does without counting. I'm here to call on anybody. I've seen them out, Gary. Oh,
my boy. He needs it now. He needs it. Sometimes it's the
worst thing you can do. Oh, but it's great
for the Lord. It's great for the Lord. Our Lord Jesus said, now that
the animal's all through the Spirit, he said, if you'd be
willing and obedient to eat the bread of man, You know, if he
doesn't give me something in return, I'll sell him something.
If he's not a good thing, then I'll sell him. I can't beat him
unless I rob him. He weighs six, fifteen, sixty-nine
pounds. Now, unless he broke something
or robbed me or something, I'll sell him. But I have to submit
to the guilt, let the guilt die. Give me some pleasure. He doesn't
even make a pleasure of what's happening to him. He's a very
poor boy. Can't even live as long as he
lives. See that? I don't know if he's
keeping it real, but if he is, he'll eat as good as a man. He's just as good as the
other. He's better than the other. He'll eat as good as a man. And
it's not even worth four hours, right? About 20 minutes is all
it's going to take for a guy or two, or three or four of them,
to build up a little time, and after that, there we go. There's
his perspective. He's not going to work, but he
will. One day, he might have to work. Why? He doesn't know what he's
doing. He doesn't know. He sleeps 23
hours. Hey, he's got a hand in the park.
That's for a good thing. 70 years. It's a great reward. He said, I have been sinning.
You're a scholar. I have been sinning. You haven't heard. We
have entered into the heart of man. Thanks to God, we're prepared
to enter the Lord. There's not one person that's
drawn to the Lord from our midst that is going to come back here
and do nothing. Nothing. Nothing in no time. We'll be paid back again. We'll
be paid back. It'd be no choice if you made
it this way. Don't go back there. Oh, no! Not for a minute, I'm
not going back there. You haven't told yourself where this is,
have you? Ha! God, yes. I can't talk. It's in my face. Say it again. I'm tired. I'm here to say this prayer,
and I'm here for it. First of all, who can understand
these errors? Jesus was talking about everything
we need, and what all God's Word does for us, because we're full
of error. Through a simple Bible, we can
find out our understanding of the creature. Everything about
us is wrong, but for Him. It's good illustration, Calvin,
of that's what's going on. That whole system, that's what's
going on. Where's my teacher? He's so Arab. I said it right. I said it right.
I said it right. Look at him. I can't even understand
how bad it matters. Look at the next thing. Can't
fix no sleeper problem. I've got so much Arabic things
about me I don't know. Sleeper things. Bad. I don't
know. Other people can't even see it. I can't see it. Don't lose it. Don't make me
understand it. Don't still make me understand
it. What's so good in that? Where would I have found a young
man who cleansed his right? He saw him walk by and he didn't
see him. I said he'd be there in two or three hours. I said
I was prepared. I said I wouldn't stand out there
if he killed me. Verse 13. He packed my shoulder
from presumption saying, I'll work for presumption. Once we've done it, it's to listen
to the gospel without any emotion. It's to listen to the gospel time and time and time
and time and time and time and time and time and time and time and time and time and time
and time and time and time and time and time and time and time and time and
time and time and time and time and time and time and time and time and time
and time and time and time and time and time and time and time and time and time and time and time
and time and time and time and time and time and time and time
and time and time and time and time and time and time and time and time and time and time and
time and time and time and time and time and time and time and time and time and time
and time and time and time and time and time and time and time and time and
time and time and time and time and time and time and time and time and time and time and
time and time and time and time and time and time and time and time and time and time and time
and time and time and time and It's utter presumption for us
to think. Actually, the human being, when
he's got a son, as long as I want to be a piece of his heart, I'll
be a part of it. Ooh, man, that's deadly presumption. Keep me back on that. Presumption. Presumption is this.
Don't write something bad on this book. Grace taken for granted. That's presumption. God knows the sauce. God says, sit down. He says,
you have found me if you search for me with all your heart. Presumption
is simply that it's God's own self. He says, call on that. Presumption is not God. It's the gospel of the crochet.
It's the Word of the Lord. That's presumption. Go to heaven.
That is His Word. God says, respond to that. Respond
to that. But if a man goes out there and
does a plateful of food on the table, my brother, he sure will.
He sure will. His name is Byron. We can get
all of all of us his first lunch. And get him to eat. He eats that
for his lunch. But I'm the Grinch. That's his
first lunch at all. Now he's with the Big Grinch. That's presumption, you know. Yeah, that's presumption, isn't
it? And he says, well, that's the means of obeying. See, there are certain things. Well, that's the means of obeying
if I presume. If I just go on like this, it'll
get me. See that? No question about it, man. He's
presumptuous, ain't he? Nobody presumes. It's called,
my dad, my mom was a believer, my husband was a believer, my
wife was a believer, or I've done that, I believe it in my
head. No, no man. Our births were born, lest we
presume. For promises, lest we expect,
will be promises, lest we want. Then he says, I will be upright.
If ye keep me from presuming, ye let not me die, and ye make
me upright, then I will be upright. But here's the reason. I'll begin
us upon the great transgression. What's the great transgression?
I knew it. I knew it. Children is all
that they did in that wilderness, or they were assigned on a certain
assignment. I doubt that any of them did it. And I've been
there. Yeah, I know what they did. I doubt it. Goodness. What kept him out of prostitution?
I don't believe you. Prostitution. Prostitution. Where'd it come
from? And he'd go back to Louis' basement, didn't he? Remind your
heart, David, that he'd be sitting in the basement. It's a presumptuous
thing, though. In fact, having picked up the
meaning of it, that's a very good translation. to ride up to the
edge of Jordan, ride up to the edge of back country land, and
miss Christ. Sit in the theater and miss Christ. And that's horrible presumption. We need to try it again. And it's about here. Send your justice. Send your
love. Send fear to God. Make this Word
sweet to my face. Make it fine and dull to me.
Make it pleasant to me. Call me innocent. It's a very
pleasant thing. Let the words, and this is just
the conclusion here. So that's his prayer. Is that
your prayer? I can pray it for you. That part's not very much
the same. If that's your heart's prayer,
then this is it. Those are the words of my mouth,
and that's the words of my mouth. What they would just say, I can't
do it. That's not prayer. That's your prayer. God gave us words that we can't
utter. And then, words that we can't
utter, that's the words of my mouth, and the meditation of
my heart. He's in my heart. He's acceptable on my side. I
don't know him. I'm straying. I'm still waiting.
I'm a redeemer. I'm a sinner. He's a redeemer. All right, folks. We have to
get to the bottom of this. We still have a lot to say, gentlemen. And that's semi-minimum. There's
a lot of Q on there. We have to go back and pick it
up. All right, stand up. My Lord, I thank you for your
word, and I ask you to forgive Saul, today and tomorrow. Send your word of power, power
of your Holy Spirit, on the youth band and Russia. My son, David. There's Samuel.
