Lift Up The Name

You know to say the least it's a very very great hour of crisis. I think all of you will agree to that. It is a tremendous hour of crisis. The greatest crisis that has ever befallen the world. The greatest is upon us, and we all realize it. Let's read some from the book of Acts in the eighteenth chapter. Paul was a great missionary, and here it speaks of Paul the great missionary. I love to read from Paul's writings because Paul was the apostle to the gentile church, and we are considered the gentile church, and what he had to say was directly to you and I as a people. In the eighteenth chapter of the Book of Acts beginning at the first verse. (Brother Pike reads from the Book of Acts, chapter 18 Verses 1 through 11.) If you'll notice here, this ruler, the chief ruler, Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his house, and many of the Corinthians hearing believed and were baptized, if you notice, these men continually preaching the Word of God, done great and mighty things. Notice here in the nineteenth chapter. (Brother Pike reads from chapter nineteen verses 1 through 23.) You know there is one thing that I really like about Paul's preaching, and that was the boldness Paul used in ministering. Paul was perhaps one of the boldest ministers that ever lived. Not only that, but he was one of the greatest learned men of his age. He was such great learned a man until even the great supreme rulers of that day, they would say, "Paul, you have learned so much that you have lost your mind. Much learning doth make thee mad." He was such a great man, such a great powerful leader, and he left such a great tremendous impact on the people where ever he went. When Paul would enter into a city, he would leave such a terrific impact upon that city until people would say, "Why, they that have turned the world upside down have come here." You know, wouldn't it be wonderful today if we had such great power in God, and such great anointing of God, such great concern about God and the people of God, that when we went into a city they would say, "Why here comes those people that have turned the city upside down." You know that's the way it ought to be. I think about the meeting that they had over in Washington. You know you could literally say that they have turned that city, to some extent, upside down. That City can never be the same after such a great tremendous impact of those men of God coming together and those people coming together. That's what the people need. You know, the people need to hear about Jesus. Isn't that right. That's what the people need. You know, the people need to hear about Jesus. Isn't that right? The Bible said here that Paul entered into this city, and said the entire city heard about Jesus. Paul never stopped until the entire city heard about Jesus. Now, I'm wondering if the entire city of Monroe has heard about Jesus from Little Bethlehem. I wonder if they have? Now I know there has been lots of testimonies, and I have testified to the bankers, and I have testified to the Sheriff, and I have testified to a lot of the average people, just down to earth people, that are here in Monroe, a lot of the celebrities of Monroe, but I wonder as a whole, if I along with you, if altogether we have testified to the people around about in such a way that we can say all of Monroe has heard about Jesus. See the thing is they did not just go tell them about what we refer to as the gospel, but the Bible said the name of the Lord was magnified. The name of the Lord was magnified. You know you are not really getting the gospel over unless you magnify the name of the Lord, because salvation is in the name of the Lord. You know, that's why we need to emphasize the name of Jesus. There is salvation in none other name but the name of Jesus. It doesn't matter what we talk about in the Bible, salvation is in none other name but the name Jesus. Now, I know we are suppose to preach the gospel. We are suppose to tell about Paul, and tell about Peter, and James and John and the great things that they did. And we are suppose to tell about the wonderful commandments of God and the Wonderful things that God wants us to do, but Brother, Sister, when we go to talk about salvation, we have got to talk about the name of Jesus, because the only way that a man can be saved is to call upon the name of Jesus, for there is remission of sin in none other name but the name of Jesus. And the Bible tells us that beginning at Jerusalem and then to the uttermost parts of the earth that remission for sin must be preached in the name Jesus. Are you listening? Now it didn't say beginning at Jerusalem and then to the uttermost parts of the earth that we must go tell about the things that's written in the Bible. Did it? It didn't say that, though we do that, because that is the gospel. The gospel must first be published in all the world for a witness and then shall the end come, but it does tell us that beginning at Jerusalem and then to the uttermost parts of the earth that remission for sin must be taught in the name of Jesus Christ, for there is remission of sin in none other name. This is why I emphasize the name. This is why that I hold up the name, because unless we tell the name of Jesus and talk about the name of Jesus, we are not doing the people any good. It doesn't matter how much I take a Bible and talk about the Bible. I can learn it so well that I could memorize it if it was possible, but that would not save the people. I could have hundreds of thousands of people coming to church with regularity and tell them about the Bible every day of the week, if we had church every day of the week, but that wouldn't save the people. Did you know that in the old testament we are taught that back there before Calvary, they had the scriptures, they had the word of God. It was God's Word. It came through Moses. Isn't that right? But that didn't save the people. Did it? That didn't save the people, and even in Jerusalem today, they've still got the Word of God, but that doesn't save the people. See, the name of Jesus, the Jews must turn to the name of Jesus. And so it is from Calvary on we find the name of Jesus Christ being taught, so what we must do is tell about the wonderful name of Jesus. Let's talk about the name of Jesus. Let's sing about the name of Jesus, and let's do everything that we possibly can to uphold the name of Jesus. Now look at Paul the apostle, here is a man that is so learned that he could have preached all the way from Genesis over even into the Revelation, because he had the Revelation of Jesus Christ. Isn't that right? But what did he do when he came over here to these Corinthians? It's recorded in the 19th chapter of the Book of Acts. What did he do? He asked them, he said, "look," He said, "Have you received the Holy Ghost since you become believers?" He was interested in whether or not they had the Holy Ghost. He said, "Now, you believers, you are believers, because you come over here to hear me preach. You are believers because you come to church." He said, "But let me ask you something." He said, "Have you believed the Holy Ghost since you believed?" Have you received the Holy Ghost, Folks, since you believed? I ask you the question tonight, Have you received the Holy Ghost since you believed? Have you? Paul said, "Have you received the Holy Ghost since you believed?" It's necessary for you to have the Holy Spirit in your live. You might be a believer. There are hundreds of thousands of believers throughout the world today, but have you received the Holy Ghost since you believed? See, you can be a believer and still not have the Holy Ghost. Therefore, if you have not the spirit of God the Bible said you are none of his. Paul said, " Have you received the Holy Ghost since you believed?" And they said, "Why we have not so much as heard whether there be an Holy Ghost or not." We don't know whether there is any Holy Ghost of not. Now, you know in the early rendering it is called the Holy Spirit. I say this over and over. Have you received the Holy Spirit since you believed? A lot of people use the term, have you received the Holy Spirit since you believed. But when the King James translators translated it Jesus Christ had been personified. God had been personified in a human body which made it a ghost, and they used the term ghost because he had taken on a human form. God was known in a human form, so then he said have you received the Spirit of Christ? Have you received the Holy Ghost since you believed? And they said, " We have not even heard whether there be so much as a Holy Ghost or not." The first thing that he was interested in is what name have you been calling on. Isn't that right? Unto what then were you baptized? Paul said, "You've been baptized, but how where you baptized?" If you don't have the Holy Ghost there must be something wrong. There's something you've misunderstood. Now can you understand what I'm saying? Here is some believer. They are sincere believers. You say, "Well, Brother Pike, they are just not sincere." That couldn't be right. If they are not sincere why do they receive the Holy Ghost when Paul preached to them. See, they definitely sincere. They were tutored by the same man that baptized the Lord Jesus Christ. They were baptized in the same water, and perhaps in the very same place, the river Jordan, where we, ourselves, have baptized, but it wasn't sufficient. They were baptized by the same man that baptized Jesus, but it wasn't sufficient. Do you follow me? See, that means that you can be baptized and still be wrong, even though you have been baptized, that still doesn't mean that you are right. You've got to be baptized right. You say, " brother Pike, what ate you getting at?" I'm saying that God has a plan of salvation, and just any way won't do. When people tell you that just any way will do. Any way won't do. You can't just be baptized any way. You can't just do any way. Now, I know people will tell you that, but God won't accept it like that, Folks. You know, you just can't do things like that. If a man is a builder he's got to build according to the blueprint. He can't just build any way. Why, you wouldn't accept a house that's built any way. There a certain way to do that. That's like out Brother here from California that's an engineer. Why, he can't just go in there and run that engine any way. He had to be tutored and trained in that. You put me up there I wouldn't know what to do. I'd be lost in that thing. There is a certain way. Every thing has to be done just right. I'd probably blow it up. Everybody has to understand what they are doing to be able to do it right. Isn't that right? How much more Almighty God, how much more Almighty God. Does he have a plan, or does He not? God has a plan and every thing is right down to the hair line. Everything is precision. It has to be done God's way or it won't work at all. And so, then, Paul said, "Have you received the Holy Ghost since you believed?" And they said, "We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost or not." He said, "Well, then unto what baptism were you baptized?" They said, "Unto John's baptism." He said, "there you are right there. That's where the problem is. Right there." He said, "John baptized with water, but he baptized unto repentance." And he kept saying believe on the name of Jesus which is coming after me. Believe on Him who is to come after me. Now, you say, "Well Brother Pike, why was it sufficient when John baptized Jesus?" Because He was the name. Is that right? So then, the Bible said when they heard this they were rebaptized. They were baptized over. So it is necessary to be baptized over. Somebody would say, "Well, Brother Pike, it doesn't matter. I've already been baptized," But Brother, it does matter. Sister, it does matter. See, it does matter. You,ve got to know what you're doing, and you've got to do it the right way. You've got to do that. You've got to, you know we sing that song. We sing it a lot of times. My mind comes back to it. You, you've got to keep your hand on the throttle. Watch the curves that fill the tunnel. You can derail. Isn't that right? Life is like a mountain railroad, from the cradle to the grave. We must make the run successful. Isn't that right? So then, if we are going to do it, and do it right, then we've got to do it God's way. So he said you must be baptized over, and the people didn't right against Paul. They said, al-right, Paul, if you say be baptized over, then be baptized over it is. So they were rebaptized. They had already went down to the river. Already been baptized, but they went down to the river again. And they were baptized all over again. Somebody would say, but don't bother me Brother Pike, about having to go down to the river again, but they went down to the river again. And they were baptized over again. I"ll tell you something, Brother, if going down to the river is going to keep me from death, and keep me out of the flames of hell, take me down to the river. If you have to take me down to the river every day, take me down to the river, but keep me out of the flames of hell. Cause there'll be a day when a man drops into the flames of hell, it'll be like that man that looked up and said, just give me one drop of water. Just one drop of water. Just one drop of water. So then, they said we will be baptized over, and so they were baptized over, and the Bible said when they were baptized over Paul laid his hands on them, and the Holy Ghost came on them, and they began to speak with other tongues. Now, you see the difference. Why didn't the Holy Ghost come on them before? Because somebody would say, well the baptism, the name. It was the name. That's what it was. See, the name. When the Holy Ghost comes, the Bible says, He will come in my name. Jesus spoke these words. When the Holy Ghost comes, He will come in my name. I'm going to leave you, Jesus said to the disciples, and I've got to go away, back to my Father,s house, but I'm not going to leave you comfortless. He said, I'm going to send you a comforter, and when he comes, He,s going to come in my name. The Holy Ghost. He's going to be a comforter to you. He's going to work with you. When you feel cast down you are going to feel something on the inside that's going to lift you up and encourage you. When ou feel like you can't go on and feel like God's forsaken you, you are going to hear something whisper in your heart that's al-right, don't worry. I'm still with you. I'll never leave you nor forsake you. Lo, I'm with you always even unto the end of the world. Isn't that right? So then, here we see that they were rebaptized, and that in the name of Jesus, and when they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission fo sin the Holy Ghost came sweeping in and filled them just like it did on the day of Pentecost, and the Bible said they began to speak with other tongues and they began to prophesy. It was that same wonderful Holy Ghost that came down on the day of Pentecost. So, you see, if we just do it God's way it will work, but if you try to do it another way it won't work. It has to be done the way that God tells us to do it. I want to do it God's way. I want to go God's way because I don't want to ge up there and stand before God and have an angry God to look at me and say, George Pike, why did you do this, that, and the other? I don't want God to look at me and say, George Pike, Why did you say that, when I didn't say that? Why did you tell those people that when I never told you to tell those people that? And why is it that you spoke something out side of my word when the Bible said, He that God sendeth will speak God's Word. When my Word says to do it like this, why did you do it another way? Why did you tell the people another way? You knew better that to do that. And, Oh! There I'll be! Standing there before an angry God. Me! I'll tell you what. I don't want to do that. I don't want to do that for money. I didn't enter into it for popularity. I didn't enter into it for any of those things, and I'm glad to God that I didn't. As I go on day after day, and I see the many multiplied people that have entered into it for the wrong thing, got the wrong motive, I see the wrath of God falling on them, and I see every day of my life, things happening to those people, and I say, My God! I'm so glad that you set me straight to begin with, and showed me the right way to do and warned me from the beginning that I must do it your way God. And so then, today I can happily stand here and say before the living God that my heart is free of condemnation and preaching His lovely word because I choose to say what He says and to do what He tells me to do, that I might be an inspiration and a blessing to mankind, and help them that they may be, in the day of judgement, acquitted and freed from their sins. Brother and Sister, we must preach the name of Jesus. We must lift up the name of Jesus. And the Bible said the name of Jesus was magnified, and what we want to do is talk about the name of Jesus. If you are not talking about the name of Jesus you need ot talk about the name of Jesus. When you meet somebody don't just sand around and say God, and My Lord, and the son, and everything, that you can think of outside of the name Jesus. Talk about the name of Jesus. Call the name Jesus. You know the Bible says, in my name they'll cast out devils. Isn't that right? You know a person can be bound with infirm spirits, they can be bound with devils. the Bible says that Paul was so powerful here that they could take handkerchiefs out from his body he was so mightily anointed in prayer, and fasting, and given to God that handkerchiefs could go out from his body, and to those that believed in God, when they got a hold of that handkerchief it proved as being something that they could take a hold of to believe that God was hearing prayer from others in their behalf and all of a sudden the Spirit of God would come down and devils and demons have to leave. Isn't that right? You know that the Holy Ghost can't come down in your life and devils and demons stay in your life. Brother, when the Holy Ghost comes in the devils go out. If you've got any kind of infirm spirit, if you've got any thing that's working on your body, if you'll let the Holy Ghost fully come in, that thing will leave. I don't care if it's a spirit of cancer, it could be the spirit of insanity. It could be any kind of infirm spirit, but if you will let God's spirit come in those unclean spirits will have to turn loose and go out. Did you know that? Why shouldn't we want God's spirit? Brother, any thing that can come into my life, and come into my heart and straighten my mind out and help me to escape the pet falls of this world, and give me the proper understanding that I need to know which way to go through life, Oh, My! why, wouldn't I want it? And any thing that can come into my life, into my heart, and can heal my body and my soul, why wouldn't I want that to come into my soul. Oh, Brother! With all my heart I ask Jesus to come into my life and I call on the name of Jesus, and I talk about the name of Jesus, because I believe in the name of Jesus. I believe there is remission of sin in the name of Jesus. I believe there is salvation in the name of Jesus. I believe there is healing in the name of Jesus, and the Bible said that the name of the LOrd is a strong tower the righteous flee into it and they are saved. I really believe that. Don't you? I believe that the name of Jesus is a strong tower. I believe that that tower is a great and a mighty tower, a great and a mighty strength. I believe that what God meant by that is the name of Jesus is established in the earth as the sacrifice, the lamb of sacrifice, and it reaches so high that it towers all the way to heaven where it sets down on the right hand of God. And it is a great and a mighty tower coming up out of the earth going all the way up into heaven. It,s a great tower. The righteous flee into it and they are saved. I feel safe tonight, don't you? I know the way Jimmy is talking, you know the Iranian crisis over there, the way everything is going, I know that things are in bad shape, but I still feel safe in spite of all of it. I know that we should be scared, you know naturally speaking we should be all tore up and nervous, but I'm not at all. Because the Bible said when you see all these things come upon you, don't let your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid, and Brother, Sister, so help me God it doesn't bother me in the least. You say, Brother Pike, that can't be. Bit it's true. It doesn't bother me, because I know that I'm just as safe as a babe in a Mother's arms. I know that God has it all worked out for me... going wild, why shouldn't I be thankful? Because I'm happy I'm at peace. All the paths of God are peace. He that keepeth his mind stayed upon Christ Jesus shall have perfect peace. So then, I feel good tonight because I have peace in my heart and I feel satisfied because I know about Jesus. I think tonight, as I stand here, I think about the different things that's taking place, especially the way that they're action up. Now I don't know that this true I just king of go by here say. What I hear, I don't read the paper that much. They tell me that they have not released the bodies of those boys that was killed over in Iran. They say that somebody, over in that area, one of the people took one of the arms that was cut off and just shook it, you know, at the people, maybe by TV or whatever, I don't know what it was. I don't know just what they have done, but they tell me they won't release the bodies and then they decided they was going to release the bodies through the Pope of Rome, and now they are undecided as to what they are going to do, but at any rate they're acting real inhuman over the thing. Real inhuman. While we're over here praying and talking to God, they're acting real inhuman over it. You know, they are really acting up over there, but there is one thing for sure and for certain, You remember the letter that I wrote Khomeni, and I told Khomeni. I said God let me know that if you lay your hands on those prisoners over there, and if you harm those prisoners, that God is going to plow your country like a field, cause God spoke to me in the morning, I got up in the morning time, and I'm going to plow your cities like a field. I'm going to make your cities just a heap of rubbish. You remember that after I wrote the letter, I said this a number of times from the sacred desk after that I wrote the letter all of a sudden Jimmy got upset, before then nobody was upset with Khomeni. Nobody was upset so far as declaring any kind of warfare. Nobody had said anything, or said anything about closing in on them, but all of a sudden here Jimmy comes in with the ships around them. Here comes in Russia around Afganistan, comes in there just tearing the place up. Tight neighbors. And setting right on his border, just ready to tear them all to pieces. You know, just one thing go wrong everything will just be ripped apart. You know God is still taking a hand in that situation. And I believe that God heard the prayers of those people up there in Washington. I know that God does not hear the prayers of the wicked. I know that. The Bible teaches that God will not hear the prayer of the wicked, but if a person repents before God, if a person call upon the name of Jesus out of a repentent heart, then that's a different situation. And those people, there was some of them that was actually repenting of asking God to forgive their sins, and they were calling on the name of Jesus and asking God to do something about those hostages over yonder in Iran, and you can rest assured that the God of heaven is real and God is going to do something. Something is going to give away after that prayer and after those people coming together. You watch and see. God will move because He is God, and Khomeni can say what he wants to, and do what he wants to, but when God gets ready to do it, God will pick him up by his heals and shake him until his teeth rattles, as we say. When God gets ready to do it God will do it, and nobody won't stop it. Khomeni or nobody else. The Bible said the preparation of a mans heart is from God, and all God's got to do is touch Khomeni's heart and change it like that, because God suffered his heat to be prepared that way in that America has so sinned against Him and gone so wrong. When Jimmy brought that murderer over here from China like he did, it upset God as sure as we live in this world. And the different things that he did, it upset the Lord and it caused everything to go into a state of chaos, but God is going to do something about it. I believe that with all my heart, and at the same time I do not believe that that is going to settle the problem as far as world problems. I believe that God heard the prayer of those people when they cried save out nation, but I do not believe that God heard it in the since that he will save America from destruction. I don't believe that, but I believe that He heard it in the since of George Washington's vision. George Washington saw it destroyed, and then he saw an intervention which he believed was a divine intervention which I believe has to do with Revelation 19. The return of the Lord and the Saints of God. And I believe that God heard their prayer just like He did Washington, so that He can save the nation in that a thousand years of righteous government and millennium reign will follow the seven years of the wicked antichrist rule that will come to pass before too much longer. This nation is going down because the Bible says it will go down. All the nations of the world. John said I looked and all the nations of the world went down. All of them. And the Bible said the nations were angry because the wrath of God was present. And Brother, today the nations are angry with one another. They are angry because the wrath of God is being poured out. It's beginning to move. In the last days there will be earthquakes and famines and pestilence. Everywhere there is earthquakes and there is famines, and there is pestilence all around everywhere we're hearing about it. See, and God will hear the prayer and God will spare it. But it will be in that next age when the seven years of bad government goes by and that Antichrist is going to set up. You remember this. Now, I'm going to close in just a few minutes now. I just wanted to exhort you a little bit tonight, but I want you to remember this. Right now you and I cannot use any physical violence. As people of God we are forbidden of God to do that, in that God tells us that the weapon of our warfare is not carnal, yet He does say it's mighty through the casting down of imagination. The pulling down of the strong holds of Satan that lives in man's thinking, but we can't use any physical violence. The reason is because we are considered in the eyes of God the body of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Bible tells us that He is the lamb of atonement, without spot, without wrinkle, without blemish. He is given for the people, and ye are as sheep, killed all the day long, the Bible tells us, and counted as sheep to the slaughter. So then, we being the members of His body, we cannot fight back because we are considered the members of His body, we cannot fight back because we are considered the members of atonement for the people. We must be delivered, the just suffering for the unjust. But Brothers, and Sisters, that can only continue until the blood comes off of the mercy seat, but when the blood comes off of the mercy seat, which has to do with the middle of Daniel's last week, the three and a half years. The very moment that God brings the blood off of the mercy seat, God's people will rally. And the wrath of God begins to be poured out upon antichrist, and Revelation 19, the great and mighty army of God comes back, not as an atonement, but they can utilize their ability through physical violence to literally slay until the blood will run up to the horses bridles. Because they will not be considered the atonement then. They will be off of the mercy seat, they will come back to stand with those people that love God, and the righteous and do away with the wicked, and you know that that hour is drawing closer, and closer, and closer. So then, lets pray. Let's believe God. Let's stand together right now. Can we? While they are coming to play on the instruments I want you to examine your hearts just a little bit before we dismiss. Whereas the Bible teaches that we should examine ourselves see if we are in the faith. Faith cometh by the hearing of the word of God. See if we have a real conviction in God's Word. Because faith in out thinking, faith in what we've heard, faith in what we've been taught, that won't save us. It must be faith in what God said, because that is the only true faith of salvation. Therefore examine yourselves and see if you have faith unto salvation. That is your faith, see if it's in the Word of God and what the word of God tells us. And see if you are practicing the Word of God. The writer said show me your faith without your works and I'll show you my faith be my works. Therefore having our works, the Bible teaches, we have faith. If we have the works of righteousness then we have faith. If we do not the thing that pertain to righteousness then we have not faith. So then, let us examine ourselves, and let's get ready to go out of here. Let's get ready to make that translation, because remember Folks, I tell you this in the name of the Lord. God is not going to leave the church here. I know there is people that say that the church will go  it'll go through tribulation, and God's going to pour out His wrath, but I tell you in the name of the Lord the Church is going to be translated, you're going to be changed in a moment in the twinkling of an eye, according to Thessalonians, at the last trump, you're going to do it there as Daniel's first week sets in, and the sealing of the Jews comes, God's going to turn back to you. We got the teachings on tape and  and in more than one different way. We approached the subject to explain why that He does it. So then, let's get ready. Let's be ready for in the hour you think not the Son of Man cometh. So then, I thought about today. I came back a little early. Got back at about 4:30. And you know what? When I came back, I left before day light so I could get back. When I came back, I never found one spark of anything being done for God. Not one person. Not one spark. I didn't fond a security. I didn't find a lady worker. I didn't find an office worker. I didn't find a yard worker. I didn't even as much as see anybody in the trailers of along in the yard. It was desolate. Everything. Not one spark could I find. I made a circle. I went around. The doors were locked, and I thought in the hour that you think now, the hour that you think now. I went back in the house, and then I was impressed that Brother Cartrette would be in his office about that time so I came out and just as I did Brother Bradley and others pulled in from Washington. I stopped to talk with them and of course, Bill came to the door and I saw that he was up there. But you know we need to do something. We need to be found doing the will os God, for He said occupy until I come, and blessed is the servant I so find doing. I will make him ruler over all I have. All right, Let's sing this little chorus together. Can we? (Congregation sings Sweep Over My Soul, I've anchored my soul in God's haven of rest, and a part of When He reached down his hand for me.) I want you to come to the altar tonight and pray tonight while they are playing, while we are singing. When my Savior reached down for me. I was lost and undone with out God or His Son, when He reached down His hand for me. Sing it one more time can you? When my Savior reached down  Don't you want Him to reach down for you tonight? Oh, Hallelujah! Don't you want Jesus to reach down for you tonight? Oh, one of these days you're going to need Jesus. You're going to need Jesus. You're going to need Jesus. Oh! Don't you want him to be there. Oh! Hallelujah! When you come down to that moment you reach out your hand. You reach out with your hand and all of a sudden you say Lord! Lord! It's like my Susie, the other day, there at that great meeting, hundreds of thousands of people, but Susie was dying. There was no doubt about it, She was dying. All of the color left her face. She had lost blood for a number of days, and she hadn't eaten. Vomiting, continually vomiting. For days and she was there she was so weak. She was dying and she knew that she was dying, and she looked at me and she said, Daddy, Daddy, Oh, Daddy you know, but what can you do? What can you do? As all of the blood color left her face, and all of her life and strength began to leave, and she began to crumble. You know, the only hope I had was to be able to go beyond the veil. I had to have the Christ on the inside. I had to have the super power of God, that Christ that could go beyond the veil and reach in there and catch her spirit. Jesus said Lazarus! Lazarus! Lazarus! and the Spirit of God went down, and the Spirit of God began to trail the spirit of Lazarus, and the Spirit of God got a hold of it, and brought it back into that body, and as I reached out I tool it by faith in God. I said God, she's dying. She's dying. I've stood beside them when they've died. I've held their hand when they died, till they breathed their last breath. I said, she's dying, but God she isn't going to die. She isn't going to die! And as she said, Daddy, and down she went, but God took hold. Hallelujah! I said, God tool hold of her, and tonight she's sitting here playing the organ tonight, because God took hold of her. Hallelujah! Can you say Hallelujah? Oh! Glory to God! Isn't that wonderful? To know that God loves you. He's such a sweet loving God, and He's the only one that can get beyond the fleshly veil into your heart and into your live tonight. Oh, He's closer than a Brother. A Brother can hold your hand, but God can go on the inside of your min, inside of your spirit, inside of your heart. Oh, Hallelujah! Oh, I feel His wonderful presence tonight. That glorious Holy Ghost. There at that upper coast of Corinth. Oh, I feel that presence tonight. That wonderful Spirit of God. That wonderful Spirit of Christ that we call the Holy Ghost. That Spirit of Christ that resurrected from the dead. Oh, He's here tonight. Hallelujah! He's here tonight. Can you love Him? Can you call on Hem out of your heart tonight? Can you tonight, from your heart. Can you just out of the quietness of your heart tonight, say Jesus, Oh, Jesus, you are my God. You're my Savior. I surrender all, Jesus, I surrender all. All to the Lord, I surrender, I surrender all. Come into my life, Jesus. Oh, sweet loving Spirit, sweep over my soul. Sweet loving Spirit, come into my heart. Come into my heart. Oh, come into my soul tonight, And come into my heart. Don't you want Jesus in there? Don't you want Jesus in there tonight? Oh, Beloved Friend, let Him have his way. We sing that song. Let Him have His way until the day is done. Jesus loves you. Let Him have His way tonight, for He wants to save you. It shall come to pass that whosoever calleth upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Can you call on the name of the Lord tonight? Death is an enemy. It's not the friend of God. The Bible tells us that death is the enemy of God. God hates death. Death is God's enemy that steals God's creature, that takes God's creation. Oh, God sent Jesus to Calvary to conquer death so that you could be free from death. So that you could live on, and on, and on. He made you to live, my Brother, He made you to live, my Sister, He is the Spirit of life. He wants you to live on and on and on. He wants to heal your body. If there is any sickness in your body tonight let the great loving Holy Spirit come in tonight that He may heal your body, for He wants to heal your body tonight. That's healing coming in. The little woman felt virtue come into her body, as it flowed from the body of Jesus and that wonderful Spirit of God as it came into her body it healed her body. Tonight God will come into your body, if you'll just let the Lord have His way tonight. Can you lift up your hands tonight and love Him. Can you love Jesus tonight? Let's love the Lord. Let's just ask God tonight to come into our hearts, and into our lives. Let His Spirit come in tonight, and make us whole. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Can you say Hallelujah tonight? Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Glory to God! I wish you could have heard those hundreds of thousands of people crying Hallelujah! Hallelujah! They cried Hallelujah! To the name of Jesus! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Into my heart! Into my heart! Come in to my heart, Lord Jesus, Oh! Come in to stay...
