Free From Fear

We have spoke to you so many times from the book of Revelation, and I feel that many of you have gotten something out of the readings, from the book of Revelation. I don't know anything that is more outstanding than the writings that's found in the book of Revelation. John the Divine, a man that was filled with love and one to whom God entrusted the magnificence of the Revelation of Jesus Christ. He wrote this book. It's wonderful to find favor with God. How many of you agree that it's wonderful to find favor with God? It's wonderful to find favor with God. He that findeth favor with God shall continue to live. But he that doeth not find favor with God, he will perish. Reading in the twelfth chapter of the book of Revelations, if you've got your Bibles you can read with me. Let's find a place here. I've read this chapter numbers of times. Let's start at the tenth verse. (Brother Pike reads Revelation 12;10-12) Now we think about Satan, a lot of times people get scared unless they have Christ, because they know the power of Satan. But I've tried to impress upon you the listener, the thought that the devil doesn't have any power over a Christian. Not that the devil doesn't have any power. He does have power. But only to those hat will believe him into power through their unbelief. For Jesus overthrew the Kingdom of Satan at Calvary. He overthrew the Kingdom of Satan and He completely done away with the power and the authority that Lucifer had. How many of you believe that Jesus did that? The Scriptures substantiate the fact that He did. And today as a Christian we should have no fear at all of the powers of Lucifer. We should not be taken into captivity with any fear of the powers of Satan. The Bible teaches that the children of this world are taken into captivity at the will of the devil, but we are not to be taken into captivity with fear. All of our lives we were subject to bondage because of fear, Paul tells us. All of our lives we are subject to bondage. Did you know as long as you fear, the Bible teaches that, He that fears is not made perfect in love. And you are subject to bondage as long as you allow a spirit of fear to come around. It might be a spirit of fear of death. It could be a spirit of fear of sickness. It could be a spirit of fear of poverty, but you are subject to bondage as long as fear is present with you. But the Bible tells us that, God has not given us the spirit of fear, but He hath given us power and He has given us a sound mind in Jesus Christ. So then we don;t have to fear because we do not have the spirit of fear. The world is in bondage to fear, but I am not in bondage to fear. Are you in bondage to fear? You should never be in bondage to fear because there is no fear for them that walk upright in Christ Jesus. The Bible tells us that people are found in the Holy Scriptures, here it speaks of them and there were they found in great fear where there was no fear. Did you know the church world today is found with great fear, when really there is no fear, because what is there that I should be afraid of? Should I be afraid of mortal man, when mortal man can do nothing to me except Christ allow him to do it? Should I be afraid of my creditors? Should I be afraid of people? Should I be afraid of murders and thieves and robbers, when they can do nothing to me unless God allows them to do it. The Bible tells me that, If my ways please God he maketh my enemies to be at peace with me. So then I am freed from fear. I don't have to worry about fear, because fear hath no power over me. God hath not given us that spirit of fear. If God has not given us the spirit of fear, then where does fear come from? It comes from the devil. It doesn't come from God. God has not given us the spirit of fear, therefore we know that fear has to come from Satan. If God has not given it to us, then it has to come from somewhere. A lot of people are afraid of insanity. They have a fear, but the Bible said, God has given them the power of a sound mind. Why should they be afraid? They are afraid that they'll die with some dreadful disease, but why should they be afraid of that? For the Bible tells us that God delivereth the righteous out of all their afflictions. So then at Calvary we find that God has defeated Satan. The Kingdom of Satan has been overthrown. Jesus witnessed and testified saying that, All power in heaven and in earth is given unto me. I have all power in heaven and earth It is given unto me. Lucifer has no more authority. He has no more power. He hath no more ability to interfere with the Kingdom of God unless we walk and dwell in unbelief. And so them it is a wonderful thing to know that we are totally completely free from fear. When I stand before you tonight, I stand as a fearless man. Not because I consider myself brave. Not because I, I consider myself to ne somebody spiritual, but simply because I believe the Word of God. The Bible said, He that fears is not made perfect in love. And I stand before you as one that is fearless because I do not have any fear. And that's the truth from the bottom of my heart. I have no fear. I do not fear storms. I do not fear people. I do nor fear animals. I do not fear anything. I do not fear sickness. I do not fear poverty. I believe what God has said about it. And as long as I continue to believe what God has said about it, them I'll have no fear. I've had all kind of, all kind of problems in life. I've been faced with violence. I have been on the mountain tops when my car in the snow would be ready to go off of the embankment with just another spin, but by faith in God the Lord kept fear out. I've been in an automobiles more than one time when they would roll over and leave the highway and roll down into the fields and flip over and flip back up on, on the wheels. I've been in them when they would go off into the creek head first. I've been in them when they would smash into one another, but God has blessed me that he hath kept me from fear. At the moment of the crisis, God kept me. God is able to keep you! And I have seen times when my body looked like I would literally rot, die. Things happened to me to where I was so weak I could not hardly go, but God kept fear out of my life and by faith I took hold of the Word of God. I wrestled and prevailed, because I refused to fear. I have had people to come after me with guns and knives and everything else, but God kept me from fear. And God delivered me. I've been confronted by the law. I've been confronted by all kind of, great indebtedness. I've been confronted by huge amounts of money that I had to have. I've been confronted by everything seemingly, but God has kept me from fear. I've been confronted by tornadoes and storms and all kind of things, but God kept me from fear. And today, I can testify of a truth, that I do not fear. The Lord is mu Shepherd, whom then shall I fear? He maketh me to lie in down in the green pastures. He leadeth me beside still waters; He restoreth my soul. Ye though I walk through the valley of death, I shall fear no evil, for He is with me. His rod and his staff they comfort me. He prepares a table before me in the presence of mine enemies. He anoints my head with oil. My cup runneth over, David said. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever. David said, Lord, I ask one thing of you and that is that I might abide in the House of God forever. And then he testified in faith and confidence in the Word, saying, Surely I abide in the House of the Lord forever. That's the way it ought to be. We say Lord give me such and such, and then we say, I thank you for hat which I have asked you for. That's the way it ought to be. If we do not have that kind of confidence, if we do not have that kind of faith, then we are coming short in the things of God, my christian friend. All right, so then Satan lost his power at Calvary. Do you agree to that? He hath no more power and authority over us. He lost his power and his authority. And today, I am free! From the powers and evil of Satan. I am free from that which Satan would desire to do to me. As Jesus said to Peter, " Satan desires to sift thee just as sand or wheat." But I am free from that. Why am I free from that? Because I believe that I am free from that. You are free from that if you can believe that you are free from that. But if you can not believe God's word, then the Bible tells us that it is impossible to receive the things of God. It is impossible to please God, unless you have faith in God. The things that pleased God concerning Enoch was that he had faith in God. And the Bible said, "Abraham believed God, and he was called the friend of God." Enoch believed God and the Bible tells us that " he was not for God took him." He was translated by faith because he believed in God. And when we believe in God, then we are translated from all of the turbulence of live into the marvelous kingdom of God and we do not have to fear. "Who then should I fear?" David said. David said," I have run through a troop. I have leaped over a wall." When time came to battle, he was a courageous king. He never drawed back; He picked up his sword he placed his sword in his sheath. He did not go out to battle as one that was courageous, and fearless in the sense of a human being, but he told the giant, he told the alien powers. He said, " You come to me with a sword and with all of this, but I come to you in the Name of the Lord of Hosts." Every battle David won. Victorious because he did not trust in his strength. He did not trust in his courage, but he trusted in God! That's what I want to do! is trust in God!k I want to trust in God. Whatever I do through life, I want to do it in the name of Jesus. I want to do it by the power of Jesus. I don't like to hear my comrades come to me and say, "Brother Pike, I can't do this, and I can't do that." Because I don't believe in that. I don't believe in that. The Bible said, "I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me!" I can do anything in the name of Jesus Christ. Who are you to say that you can't do something when God says it can be done? The Bible said, " All things are possible to them that believe" If you are a believer, then all things are possible to you. Don't ever say that you can't do it. Don't ever take the outlook you can't do it, say, "through Christ Jesus that strengthens me, I can do all things." And friend you can, through Christ that strengthens you. If you've got sickness, you can overcome it. By faith in God, my friend, you can overcome it. You will be shocked at the things that will happen to you if you'll take courage. If you've got poverty and you can't seem to meet your bills, if you'll take faith in God, I promise you in the Name of Jesus that you'll overcome it. And you'll find yourself victorious in God. It doesn't matter what your deficiencies are, God is the answer to your problem. I like that. Don't you? I believe in a Christian life. I believe that we should live holy, righteous, pure, soberly in this present world. I believe that we should leave off anything that would harm our bodies in that we are the temples of the living God. I feel that we should withdraw from worldliness and all of the things out there that's unlike Jesus in the world. There is so many lovely things to do on the world. So many great things that you can do in the world that is holy and pure. And the things that God has ordained that we have pleasure in. But my friend, in the pleasure of the world, God hath no power. When you turn to the things of the world, God will disfellowship you. And when you turn to the corruption of the flesh, the Bible said, "He that soweth to the flesh, he shall of the flesh reap corruption, but he that soweth to the spirit shall of the spirit reap everlasting life." I want everlasting life, don't you? He that soweth to the spirit shall of the spirit reap everlasting life." I want to sow to the spirit. I am free from the Kingdom of Satan. I am not bound to the evils and fears of Satan. I am free. "He that the son hath made free, he is free indeed." Indeed means to do what you want to do. I am free! I am not in prison. I do not feel that I am in a prison. The Bible said, "Agree with thine adversary quickly whilst thou art in the way, lest at any time he should deliver thee to the judge and the judge to the jailor and ye not come out until you pat the uttermost fathering." But I want you to know that I am not in a prison I am free! God hath made me free. I'm not in a prison today. I'm not serving a prison term of fear and frustration. I am free. I am happy in God. And I am, I am enthused in the Lord Jesus Christ. There is a radiance of hope. I am illuminated with His presence. And there is a radiance of hope that's so great that the dark darkness of this world cannot overthrow it. It cannot quench this great light. God has quenched my thirst for the things of this world. Come and drink from this fountain. Hallelujah! What a fountain! The Bible said, "let whosoever will come and drink from this fountain. Come and drink from this fountain! Hallelujah! There is open today in the House of David, an everlasting fountain, where the waters of life are freely flowing. Hallelujah! And you don't have to be afraid. You can believe in God and God will do something for you. Satan's Kingdom is gone. It has been cast down. It has been overthrown. Today, we are people that are free from the Kingdom of Satan. If you cannot believe that them you are not free, Who are those that are free from the powers of Satan? They that believe that they are free. You say, Brother Pike, just anybody can say, I'm free and believe I'm free, and be free. No, just anybody can believe the Word of God, if they really believe the Word of God and be free. Because the Word of God says that you're free. Not because you think you're free. You can believe a lie and be damned. You can believe you're free and you're bound. You can believe everything all right when you're fixing to die the next minute. But everyone that comes to the fountain and drinks of the waters of life, everyone that believes the Word of God. Everyone that's willing to entrust their souls and their lives to Christ can be free from the powers and the evils of Satan. You can be a great power in God, a great victorian in God. You can be loosed from the things of this world. Did you know that people who are bound to the frolics of this world and the lust, the lustful desires of this world, did you know that they are in prison? And they are in bondage, did you know that Paul teaches in the Word of God that that by which a man is overcome, he is a slave to that thing? Whatever it might be, he is a slave to it, but you don't have to be a slave to it. You don't have to be in bondage to it. You can be free. You can be free. Paul told them over there in one of his writings, one of his epistles, he said, Look at me, all of these things don't affect me, he said. There is none of this that affects me. It doesn't move me, Paul said. So he said, You can be free. You can be free from all those things. You don't have to be in bondage. If we are free from the Kingdom of Satan, then why should we fear? Why should I worry? Why should I fear? Hallelujah! There would be no reason. If you fear, that's positive proof that you've not accepted your pardon in God. You should accept your pardon in God my friend. Isn't that right? You must accept your freedom in God. There'll be many people that will die and perish in the flames because they refused to acknowledge God's word and to accept their pardon in Christ. Many people will do that. But I want to accept my pardon in God. He said, I'm free. I am free. I say again, It doesn't matter what Bro. Pike thinks about it. It doesn't matter what the business man thinks about it. God's word said, I'm free! And Brother, I am free! Forever I'm free. It doesn't matter what I think about it. If the BIble said, I'm free from sickness, then I'm fee from sickness. You say, But what about all those pains, Bro. Pike, that people feel in their body? That doesn't have anything to do with it. What's pain got to do with the Word of God? Hallelujah! But you say what about all those opressions that I felt? What about those contrary winds of thoughts that's blowing through my mind like a hurricane? That has nothing to do with it. See, what does that have to do with it? What I think about it, what's that got to do with it? How my body feels, what's that got to do with it? The Word of God said it. Don't you believe the Word of God? The Bible said, God spoke and the world came into existence. The Bible teaches that God spoke you into existence. God spoke the stars and the moon into existence. God's word did it! Hallelujah! And if God's word said it, then I am free! Why? Cause His word said it. The Bible said, He sent His word and healed them. Glory to God, he delivered me from sickness. He delivered me from poverty. He delivered me from heartaches and troubles. He delivered me from my enemies. I am free in Christ tonight, because God did it. Who is God? The Word. In the beginning was the word, the word was God, the word is God. The same was in the beginning with God. He came forth. Put on flesh. Dwelt among us. And we believed the glory of this word as the only begotten of the son of God filled with grace and filled with truth. Think about that, full of grace. Coming to Brother Taylor, saying Bro. Taylor there's enough grace for you. Bro. Lyman there's enough grace for you. Brother Pike, there's enough grace for you. And folks there is enough grace for you! Hallelujah! Whosoever will let him come and partake of the waters of life freely. There is grace in abundance! For your asking, for your believing, the words that's full of grace and full of truth. The word of grace, there is enough grace for you. The words of truth; Brother Pike, there is enough truth for you. There is enough truth for you Brother Fontaine. There is enough truth for the world. Hallelujah! There is enough truth, the words of grace and the words of truth. What has this got to do with it? The words of grace, we understand that part. But what has it got to do with, when you say the words of truth? For Jesus said, My words are spirit and my words are life. He said, Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. Hallelujah! Tonight I know the truth and I'm free tonight because I know the truth. You say, What do you mean, Brother Pike, you know the truth? I know the truth tonight, that Christ overthrew the Kingdom of Satan, back at Calvary! He took away his power. I'm free today from the evils of Satan. The truth tells me so! I have faith in the truth tonight. His words are truth. They are filled with glory and grace. What a wonderful thought? Filled with glory and grace. Sin can never enter there, the song says. Truth, words of truth. Words of inspiration, words of joy, abundance of living. Hallelujah! So the world can have it! That's what I want, to tell the world about Jesus. The joy of Christians living! The way that I've been able to overcome by the glory of my saviour. See friend, it's not what you do. That has nothing to do with it. Somebody would say, Brother Pike, if I had not stumbled, if I had not staggered, then I could have confidence in what you are talking about tonight. But Christian friend, tell me again, what does that have to do with it? How many times you stumble, what does that have to do with it? God didn't give me a promise saying if you don't stumble, that wasn't God's promise. What's that got to do with it? When God said, Let there be light! Brother nothing could stop it, because God's word said it! All of the mistakes and the stumblings and the staggering, that doesn't gave anything to do with it. Because God's Word said it, it has to be. So then take courage. You say, Well Brother Pike, I'm weak. If I wasn't so weak in faith, then I could make it. What does that have to do with it? What does that have to do with it? You say, I'm weak, Bro. Pike. But the Bible said, Let the weak say I am strong. Isn't that right? So then what does that have to do with it? Just say, Weak or not weak, by the faith of God's word I am Strong! It's not a matter of what I done, God it's a matter of me stumbling and staggering. God you promised in you word. You finished the works of Calvary. At Calvary I am free. Because the works was finished. From the foundations of the world, somebody said, what must I do to work the works of God? Im going to tell you again. I believe in Christian living. I believe that we ought to me holy and blameless without spot or wrinkle and without blemish. Serving God, in the beauty of holiness. What's more beautiful than the beauty of holiness? God is the spirit of Holiness, my brothers and sisters. That is the spirit of life. There is no other spirit of life, but the spirit of holiness! Serve him in the beauty of holiness. That's why they call the Pope His Holiness. It's a great mistake! God is His Holiness! And I believe that you ought to serve Him and be holy. He said, Be Holy for I am holy. Serve him in the beauty of holiness. Without spot or wrinkle, without blemish! Circumstances has nothing to do with it! What you see with your eyes has nothing to do with it! What you feel with your body has nothing to do with it! His word is forever establised in heaven. It cannot be altered. It cannot be changed. I believe in holiness. But I tell you again, when it comes to working the works of God. They said, What must we do to work the works of God? Jesus answered them back and said, This is the works of God. That you believe on him that the Father has sent. For the works was finished from the foundations of the world, Jesus declared. This is the works of GOd. What is the works of God? Jesus said, I am the works of God! Look on me! Peter said. I am the works of GOd. When the cripple man at the Gate called Beautiful sat there, he looked for the works that would cause him to be healed. What did he do? Peter was reminded of what Jesus said. The works was finished from the foundation of the world. The man upon whom the healing came was above 40 years old the Bible tells us. But he sat there lame from his mother's womb. Could not walk. And when Peter and them came by, expecting to receive an alm. Expecting to receive something. Some kind of a gift. He put forth his hands. And old Brother Peter reached out and met the challenge. He put forth his hand and Peter filled with the Holy Ghost, reached out and clasped his hand and said, Gold and silver have I none but such as I do have give I thee in the name of Jesus Christ. Rise up and walk, Peter said. The man, he took the man's hand, nothing happened to him, but he took the man's hand and when the man utilized his faith. Peter tugged on his hand and the man pulled forth. And the Bible said immediately, Strength entered into his ankle bones and he stood upon his feet praising God, running and jumping in the temple. Hallelujah! Praising God for the magnificence of Christ. The Bible said, The people ran together in the porch called Solomons porch. When they came together, they stood there like this looking at Peter. And here it was, they was looking on Peter. Peter had to change the thing around a little bit now. He said, Look on us. So they started to looking on Peter. And then all of a sudden, Peter he perhaps got a little nervous. He said, Wait a minute. Don't look on me as though I done this thing. He said, It's by by His faith. Who's faith? Christ Jesus faith. And it's His faith that he stands here whole and man's faith had made him whole through the faith of Jesus Christ. Being crippled didn't have anything to do with it. Why? Because the Bible said, He sent His word and healed them. If God sent His word and healed them, them they were healed. Isn't that right? Peter knew that it wasn't a matter of him doing anything. God said, That the man was healed by the stripes of Jesus Christ. The man gave heed expecting. Hallelujah! He was expecting to receive something. You know that's where the problem is today. A lot of times we pray to God but were not expecting to receive anything. We go down in routine to be prayed for, but we're not expecting to receive anything. We come to the House of God and we come in here green like a lemon. We come here and we sit down in Church, not expecting to receive anything. That's where we miss out with God. The Bible said, When you pray believe that you receive it, and ye shall have it. Expect to receive something. Somebody would say, Bro. Pike, I cannot pay my bills. You know why? Because you do not expect to pay your bills. There is no deep imbedded expectation that things is going wrong for you. There is a deep embedded expectation of failure through life. There is a deep expectation on the inside that keeps you constantly expecting calamity and disorders all the days of your life. And you know why that it's like that? It is simply because you are under condemnation. You are not praying and seeking God. You're not making your life conform to the Word and ways of God. You're not pressing in and trying to do something for Christ. And because of this condemnation is driving you out of your mind. But Brothers and Sisters in Christ, let me expound the Word to you today and tell you something that will help you. You're going to have to believe. You're going to have to expect something from God. When you expect something from God you're going to get it. But you're going to have to expect something from God. When you begin to press in like the little woman to touch the hem of his garment you're going to get something from God. Did you know the Bible said, That though all of them pushed her away, though all of them crowded her out yet she believed that God had something for her? She knew that she was dying, she knew that she should have help. You would say, But Bro. Pike, why didn't she go to the doctor? The Bible said, She had suffered many things of physicians but was none the better, but rather grew worse. She had spent all of her living on the physicians but they had done her no good. She knew that she had to have some help. You understand what I am saying? She knew there had to be a means of relief. And when she got through the press and when she got to the crowd, what she do? The Bible said, That she pressed in toward Christ. She kept saying in her heart, if I can but touch the hem of his garment I'll be made whole. She had an expectation. She said, If I can just get in a little closer. If I can get past the press and touch the hem of his garment, I'll be made whole. And the Bible said, She pressed her way in. She pressed her way in to the crowd. She kept pressing. And after a while she got close enough that she could break through. And the Bible said, She touched the hem of his garment. And I believe in my heart the minute that her little hands touched the hem of his garment that inside of her she cried Glory to God, I've done it! I touched the hem of his garment. I've been made whole! And the Holy Ghost swept down, the Holy Spirit filled her being and the Bible said, She felt in her body she was healed. Jesus stopped. Oh my, what a sight. Think about that. The son of the living God. Prince Charming himself, walking down the street and all of a sudden He stopped. He stopped. I can just visualize Him in my mind as He stopped and He looked around. He looked around you know, very slowly. He looked around and he said, Something happened. Peter and them probably said, What is it Lord? And he just stood there maybe for a minute. HE said, Ah, said, Something happened. Said, somebody touched me. Peter said, Somebody touched you. Simon said, Somebody touched you. They probably looked at the hundreds and thousands and said, Somebody touched him. My land! As long as he's been along here they'd been about to, about to mash him, like a sardine. Why it's been so congested it must ah been hundreds of people that touched him. They said, Lord a lot of people touched you. He said, Somebody touched me, Peter. John, James somebody touched me. Hallelujah! That wasn't Jesus talking. That was the heavenly father talking. THe voice of God, that somebody touched me. They didn't touch Jesus. Hundreds of people was touching Jesus. But faith in God touched that great light unto which no man can approach. God proclaimed through the mouth of his Prophet Jesus His son said, Somebody touched me! And Jesus said, I felt virtue go out of my body. I felt virtue go out of my body. And the little woman got nervous. And the Bible said, She began to tremble and she came to Jesus. She knew that she was discovered. Ah she knew hat she was discovered. Somebody said, Wait a minute Brother Pike Why would she be nervous? Because see, according to the law she was to be stoned. Coming in there in a unclean way. Coming in the midst of those people and all. Like that she wasn't suppose to be there. Just like leprosy or anything else suppose to stay away from there. Isn't that right? The issue of blood in the old testament was an uncleanliness. Isn't that right? The woman couldn't even come to her husband. She come trembling because she knew the Master had found her out. And as she come in there, she said, Lord it was me. Jesus told her said, Don't be afraid. Said don't be afraid. HE said daughter thy faith hath made you whole. Boy, I'll tell you what, I got a feeling. You know that song I wrote, " Then the crowd heard the shout; sweet Jesus, you're the one." Hallelujah! And then ten thousand times ten thousands of praised ring out to God's only son! Jesus said, Go thy way in peace, Thy faith hath made you whole. So then circumstances had nothing to do with it. The doctors reports had nothing to do with it. The failure to be healed by medical aid had nothing to do with it. My Brothers and sisters, she took courage and she turned her faith in the direction of Christ Jesus and she said, I am not going to give up. I am going to touch the hem of his garment. And I believe that God will heal me when I do it. And she did and she was healed. Why should I fear then? Why should I be afraid? Is not Jesus CHrist the same yesterday, today and forever? Did not He say in His word that HE sent His word and healed them? Is not the word of God which is God from the begining the same to every generation, yesterday, today and forever? Isn't the Word of God the creative power that spoke the world into existance? Isn't that right? By his word he cast out unclean spirits. There is an unclean spirit in you. The Bible said, By his word he cast out unclean spirits. By his word He cast out the unclean spirits. You don't have to take an old spirit of lust, resentment, fault finding, jealousy, covetousness, lust of the world. You don't have to do it. Spirits of infirmity. You don't have to bear those. Jesus bore them at Calvary for you. You escaped the curse, because cursed is everyone that hangeth upon a tree. Hallelujah. The serpent was hanging on the tree in the wilderness, they were healed. The serpent, the Brazen serpent was hanged upon the cross, the tree over at Calvary, you were healed. Is that right? Cursed is he that hangeth on a tree, but we are free from the curse. How many of you understand what I am saying? Alright, I want you to stand with me. I appreciate your courtesy and kindness tonight. And I pray hat you'll take my words which are not my words, but his words. The Bible said, It shall not ne you that speak but the Heavenly Father that speaketh from with in you. And I pray that you take my words tonight. Use them and utilize them to your advantage tonight and God will do something for you such as you've never had done for you in all the days of your life. Now I want you to close your eyes. And I want you to lift up your hands. While they are playing on the instruments I want to take just a minute or two and I want to pray for you. I want you to lift your hands up, Christian friend. God is a Deliver. God is a healer. God will deliver you tonight. I'm reminded tonight of a trip to Central America. Where we went into the village that the papers stated was possessed by the devil. And how that we prayed for the prayer of faith and within a day or two the papers again was published and stated that the village was free of the devil. That those that had been possessed was free. Jesus Christ, the same, yesterday, today and forever. Those people simply believed. Simple believing people. They believed. Can't we believe tonight? Can't we believe? The preparation of man's heart is from God. God has prepared all men's hearts alike. Let's believe tonight. If you need salvation can't you believe? The Bible said, It shall come to pass that whosoever calleth upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved. If we call upon the name of the Lord, the Bible teaches that we shall be saved. Can we call upon the name of the Lord? Can we? Can we actually call upon the name of the Lord? Can we, Christian friend? Can we call upon the name of the Lord? We can! Let whosoever will come and partake of the waters of life freely. God is no respecter of persons. He will free you from your sins if you will believe. If thou canst believe all things are possible to them that believe. And so then tonight as I pray, if you have need of salvation, I want you to call on the name of Jesus Christ. And the Bible said when you pray, believe. Take God's promise. Faith cometh by hearing of the Word and the Word of promise is nigh unto you tonight as the minister speaks to you. Faith by hearing of the Word from the preaching of the word. If thou canst believe tonight all things are possible to them that believe. And I want you to believe as I pray I want you to believe. And I'm going to pray earnestly, sincerly. The Bible said, the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. And God hath made us righteous by His Holy Blood. As I pray for you tonight, I want you to believe. Because I'm going to pray tonight for you that GOd will save your soul and God will heal your body. That God will deliver you from sickness and infirm spirits. Can you believe tonight? Can you believe tonight? Let's lift our hands together as we pray. Father of Heaven tonight, as I look out over this audience, I pray tonight Jesus, that by your great power. by your great power, by your great word tonight that people would be healed Jesus. That they would be delivered. Holy Father that they should be healed. May they be healed tonight. May you heal the people tonight Jesus. May you deliver the people tonight. May the infirm spirits be broke off of them and they find a deliverance tonight in the name of your Son Jesus. Father heal the sick, deliver the oppressed. Father, relieve those tonight that's in great despair and despondency. Those that are yearning for faith and assistance tonight to help them to recover from the snares of Satan, to help them to overcome sickness, to help them to fear from their loved ones that might have drifted away. (Brother George speaks in tongues) I pray for the healing of these sick bodies tonight. For the deliverance of these bodies tonight. Hallelujah! hallelujah! Deliver the people. Heal the people. Make the people whole Jesus. Unite us together in a great and mighty move of God. I ask of thee to do it. Lord reach throughout the world tonight in the lovely name of Jesus and heal and save and deliver for Jesus sake. Amen. THe Lord be with you tonight and help you. The Bible speaks of the minister saying, Whosoever you bless, shall be blessed. Whosoever you curse shall be cursed. Tonight if you can believe if you will believe, accept the word of God, then I bless you in the name of the Lord,tonight. I bless you tonight in the name of the Lord. I have the power to bless you tonight. I have the power to curse you tonight. The Bible said, Whosoever sins I remit shall be remitted. Whosoever sins I retain shall be retained. Whatever I bind on earth shall be bound in heaven. Whatever I loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. So in the name of the Lord tonight I bless you. Hallelujah. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ. Hallelujah! (Bro. Taylor sings a song)
