1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,400
Griffin for miles to be here. 
And I want to personally express

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:07,900
my appreciation to, you know, 
Prince of yesteryears. 

3
00:00:07,900 --> 00:00:12,000
And you made friends. 
Anyway, we're glad you're all 

4
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:13,900
here. 
The congregation of course. 

5
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:18,400
Shares my feelings about that. 
So we're just glad you're here. 

6
00:00:19,300 --> 00:00:24,100
We have in our midst, a night to
gospel preachers, brother, Alan,

7
00:00:24,100 --> 00:00:28,700
Bonifay, and brother, Raymond, 
Fox and others, perhaps, whom 

8
00:00:28,700 --> 00:00:31,400
I'm not noting at this moment, 
but we're glad you're here. 

9
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:36,500
Anyway, I want to read for you 
this evening from the sixth 

10
00:00:36,500 --> 00:00:39,200
chapter of the Book of Luke. 
And I'll begin reading with 

11
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:45,000
verse 13. 
And what? 

12
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,500
Let me begin with verse 12 and 
it came to pass. 

13
00:00:48,500 --> 00:00:51,900
In those days that he went out 
into a mountain to pray and 

14
00:00:51,900 --> 00:00:54,100
continued all night in prayer to
God. 

15
00:00:54,700 --> 00:00:58,500
And when he was day, he called 
unto him his disciples and have 

16
00:00:58,500 --> 00:01:00,300
them. 
He chose twelve. 

17
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:08,100
Whom he also named a passel, 
Simon, whom he also named Peter 

18
00:01:08,500 --> 00:01:12,100
and Andrew, his brother, James, 
and John, Philip and 

19
00:01:12,100 --> 00:01:17,400
Bartholomew, Matthew, and Thomas
James, the son of alphaeus and 

20
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:22,500
Simon called zealots and Judas. 
The brother of James and Judas 

21
00:01:22,500 --> 00:01:27,500
Iscariot, which also was the 
traitor, And he came down with 

22
00:01:27,500 --> 00:01:31,900
him and stood in the plane and 
the company of his disciples and

23
00:01:31,900 --> 00:01:35,900
a great multitude of people out 
of all Judea and Jerusalem and 

24
00:01:35,900 --> 00:01:40,400
from the Seacoast of Tyree and 
sidon, which came to hear him 

25
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,100
and to be healed of their 
diseases that would be enough of

26
00:01:44,100 --> 00:01:46,300
our reading for this evening. 
And at this time, we wish to go 

27
00:01:46,300 --> 00:01:48,000
to God in a word of prayer. 
Let us pray. 

28
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,800
The world had drifted so far 
away from God. 

29
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:57,000
The world was lost. 
And in order for the world to be

30
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,200
saved the world, must get in 
communication with God. 

31
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:04,400
The Father Again. 
God was dealing with his people.

32
00:02:04,900 --> 00:02:07,700
God was moving. 
His people along toward the hope

33
00:02:07,700 --> 00:02:11,700
of Salvation, which would be 
Jesus Christ, his son, the 

34
00:02:11,700 --> 00:02:14,200
prophets had prophesied down 
Through the Ages. 

35
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:18,600
That this one would come in whom
all of our attention and 

36
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:23,700
salvation must be focused. 
Finally, John the Baptist Came 

37
00:02:23,700 --> 00:02:27,900
Upon the scene and began to 
preach but finally this one was 

38
00:02:27,900 --> 00:02:31,500
born. 
I keep passage is Galatians 4 

39
00:02:31,500 --> 00:02:33,400
and 4 where the Apostle Paul 
sums. 

40
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,400
It all up in one verse and says,
but when the fullness of the 

41
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,700
time was come God sent forth. 
His son made of a woman made 

42
00:02:41,700 --> 00:02:45,400
under the law to redeem them 
that were under the law that as 

43
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,800
I say sums it all up, Jesus 
came. 

44
00:02:49,700 --> 00:02:54,000
Jesus was born into this world. 
That was the focal point of the 

45
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,300
ages. 
You might say. 

46
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,200
We all know that. 
Jesus Christ was finally settled

47
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,900
in the little village of 
Nazareth up in the land of 

48
00:03:02,900 --> 00:03:06,400
Galilee. 
And there, he was abiding with 

49
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:11,300
his mother with his father. 
And finally, with his brothers 

50
00:03:11,300 --> 00:03:16,600
and sisters. 
Well, he waited there, he waited

51
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:21,500
God's time, he waited the signal
from his father in Heaven, but 

52
00:03:21,500 --> 00:03:23,700
he was in preparation all this 
time. 

53
00:03:26,100 --> 00:03:29,400
So far as I know, the father of 
Jesus Christ, the Foster father,

54
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,500
if you might say that had passed
away because no scholar mention 

55
00:03:32,500 --> 00:03:34,900
scene from be known, and all 
think that he probably had 

56
00:03:34,900 --> 00:03:39,300
deceased Jesus was flying the 
honest rate of a carpenter. 

57
00:03:39,900 --> 00:03:42,900
He knew what it was to have an 
aching back in me what it was to

58
00:03:42,900 --> 00:03:47,900
have a catalyst and He what he 
wants to labor and I resent the 

59
00:03:47,900 --> 00:03:52,200
artists of the day who try to 
picture him as some sissified 

60
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,600
individual who didn't know 
anything about the outdoors in 

61
00:03:55,600 --> 00:04:01,000
our hard labor are real. 
Manhood, he was everything but 

62
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,900
that he bent over a carpenter's 
table and he worked. 

63
00:04:05,300 --> 00:04:09,400
And he pried this trade, 
stepping Immortal honor upon 

64
00:04:10,100 --> 00:04:12,900
labor. 
Probably that's the reason why 

65
00:04:12,900 --> 00:04:16,399
the 11th chapter of the Book of 
Matthew in the Invitation, he 

66
00:04:16,399 --> 00:04:20,000
issued his call to these people.
First come unto me all ye that 

67
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,200
labor and are heavy laden and I 
will give you rest. 

68
00:04:24,300 --> 00:04:26,200
Down south something was taking 
place. 

69
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:31,100
Now, almost 100 miles away, 
roughly a man chosen. 

70
00:04:31,100 --> 00:04:35,000
By God, in a special, 
providential way was standing on

71
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:36,700
the banks of the Jordan River 
preaching. 

72
00:04:36,700 --> 00:04:41,000
The baptism of repentance. 
I really don't know how this all

73
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,100
came about, I wish I did. 
But I just think that finally 

74
00:04:45,100 --> 00:04:49,200
this man signaled by God in 
heaven stepped out there. 

75
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:53,500
By the wayside had a forward on 
the Jordan River and began to 

76
00:04:53,500 --> 00:04:57,000
preach somehow to stop by one 
day and hurting they went on and

77
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,700
told somebody else and they came
they told somebody else and they

78
00:05:00,700 --> 00:05:05,800
came and on and on it went 
Caravans coming from the south 

79
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:09,000
of the country and going through
the city of Nazareth up, yonder.

80
00:05:09,500 --> 00:05:12,000
No doubt. 
Told of this incident, our baby 

81
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,100
was a communication directly Out
of Heaven. 

82
00:05:14,100 --> 00:05:17,300
I don't know, but any rate it 
was time to go. 

83
00:05:17,500 --> 00:05:20,700
Jesus kissed his mother goodbye.
Push the tools back on the 

84
00:05:20,700 --> 00:05:25,700
Carpenters Beach and walk that 
long distance to the River. 

85
00:05:25,700 --> 00:05:30,800
Jordan As he walked up that day,
I thrown stood out the for that 

86
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:35,000
great preacher. 
And listened and Little Wonder, 

87
00:05:35,500 --> 00:05:38,700
but that's one of the greatest 
preachers That Ever Walked upon 

88
00:05:38,700 --> 00:05:40,800
the top side of God's green 
earth. 

89
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,800
Jesus said, one time of all the 
men born of a woman does never 

90
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,600
win one greater than John the 
Baptist, and I certainly agree 

91
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:54,800
with him on that. the people 
hung upon his words while he 

92
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,800
spoke to them of their sins and 
told them of the impending 

93
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,300
damnation, that awaited them, 
unless they repented and they 

94
00:06:02,300 --> 00:06:07,200
came back for more And the 
heated it you know it doesn't 

95
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,000
bother people for you to tell 
them about their wrongs. 

96
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,400
I don't know where these 
preachers have gotten the idea 

97
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,100
that you're supposed to stand up
in the pulpit and pussyfoot 

98
00:06:16,100 --> 00:06:19,100
around and just talk about 
little platitudes and sweet. 

99
00:06:19,100 --> 00:06:23,400
Little devotion things people 
will to be told of their wounds,

100
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,600
that's the reason why preachers 
are preaching. 

101
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,500
If you want to get our show go 
somewhere else. 

102
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,200
Jesus was preaching and they 
liked it. 

103
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:34,600
I rather John the Baptist was 
preaching. 

104
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,300
He walks up in that crowd one 
day and John who had absolutely 

105
00:06:38,300 --> 00:06:41,800
faced the Roman legionaries John
who had confronted. 

106
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:46,000
Everybody was absolutely amazed 
and astounded when you looked 

107
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:51,500
out there and saw that one he 
knew he People had come out to 

108
00:06:51,500 --> 00:06:55,000
hear John preached. 
I'm always amazed at the crowds.

109
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,100
I wish I had time to talk about 
the crowds. 

110
00:06:57,100 --> 00:06:59,000
That would be another sermon but
just briefly. 

111
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,500
Let me know mention that some 
came out to soldiers came 

112
00:07:02,500 --> 00:07:07,000
marching out for one thing and 
they stood on the riverbank He 

113
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,500
had attracted people now, it 
said you great preacher said, 

114
00:07:09,500 --> 00:07:12,400
brought the people from the 
country to the city, Talmadge 

115
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:16,700
Moody Spurgeon Graham others. 
But this one vote, the city's 

116
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,500
broke the about the city's to 
the country and they stood in 

117
00:07:20,500 --> 00:07:23,900
listen, daddy preach while he 
crashed over their head with one

118
00:07:23,900 --> 00:07:28,200
Thunderbolt of condemnation 
right after another, the soldier

119
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,200
said, what shall we do? 
He said be content with your 

120
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,300
wages and do violence to no, 
man. 

121
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:39,800
That would pretty well. 
Take care of soldiers. 

122
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,300
Soldiering wouldn't it? 
I'd think so. 

123
00:07:43,700 --> 00:07:47,100
The only people I know of that 
he really refused to baptize. 

124
00:07:47,100 --> 00:07:50,500
Well those pies mouth people who
thought they were too good 

125
00:07:50,500 --> 00:07:53,300
already. 
They came out thinking they had 

126
00:07:53,300 --> 00:07:55,800
Abraham to their father and they
didn't need anything. 

127
00:07:56,700 --> 00:07:59,400
Well, he knew better. 
He said don't say in your heart 

128
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,300
that we've got Abraham to our 
father. 

129
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:06,200
Don't say you've never been in 
bondage to anybody of God wanted

130
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,000
seed, Abraham. 
He could just raise them up from

131
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,200
these Stones along the 
Riverbanks here. 

132
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,600
If that's what you're talking 
about and thinking about go back

133
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,300
and do Works meet for 
repentance. 

134
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:22,000
During all of this time. 
Jesus came and as I said, walked

135
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:27,200
up in the midst, John just I 
think his voice fell quite said 

136
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:31,700
there stains one in your midst 
today, whom you know, not who 

137
00:08:31,700 --> 00:08:34,000
she lacks its. 
I'm not worthy to stoop down and

138
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,600
unloose the crowds ships and a 
little bit. 

139
00:08:37,700 --> 00:08:40,100
This one walks up in the 
presence of John standing. 

140
00:08:40,100 --> 00:08:43,700
There open yet, proud youth from
the Hill Country of Galilee. 

141
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,100
And John is overwhelmed. 
He who could face everybody 

142
00:08:47,100 --> 00:08:49,700
else. 
He felt so little and unworthy. 

143
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:53,600
In the sight of this, what he 
said, I'd need to be baptized of

144
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:57,200
thee, and comest, thou to me, 
and Jesus said, suffer it to be.

145
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:02,000
So now to fulfill all 
righteousness, calmly stating 

146
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,600
it. 
I don't have any sins. 

147
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,900
I know that this is an exception
to the rule, but make an 

148
00:09:07,900 --> 00:09:12,000
exception this time, because I'm
setting an example, for all men,

149
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,200
for all ages to come. 
And the Bible says he suffered 

150
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,000
him. 
He took our savior down into the

151
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,400
Waters of that River and low. 
He is sinless body beneath the 

152
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,600
waves and lifted him up again. 
He stood there with the water 

153
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,600
streaming was baptism. 
Like you've seen countless 

154
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:31,600
people do in your lifetime in 
the church, and while he stood 

155
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,900
there, so humble a voice from 
Heaven, spoke and said this is 

156
00:09:34,900 --> 00:09:38,000
my beloved Son in whom I'm well 
pleased. 

157
00:09:38,100 --> 00:09:40,800
And at that moment, God 
dispatched, the Holy Spirit out 

158
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,100
of the heavens in the form of a 
dove and it lighted upon 

159
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,200
somebody said, it thunder. 
Somebody standing by said an 

160
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,400
angel spoke to him. 
Well, he went into the 

161
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:50,000
wilderness. 
Earnest. 

162
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,700
The Bible says he was driven 
into the Wilderness and there he

163
00:09:53,700 --> 00:09:57,900
wondered all these days among 
the sand dunes and the Bible 

164
00:09:57,900 --> 00:10:02,300
says in the wild beasts every 
Temptation that you will ever 

165
00:10:02,300 --> 00:10:07,200
bear was thrust that sinless 
breast of the Son of God there 

166
00:10:07,300 --> 00:10:11,700
and he repelled them everyone he
went there though as a man just 

167
00:10:11,700 --> 00:10:15,200
like you and I go as a man, he 
didn't go there with any helps 

168
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:19,700
beyond what you have and Beyond 
what I have because how could he

169
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,600
He be our leader. 
If he went, there was some extra

170
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:26,800
protection and resisted the Holy
Spirit, The Temptations with 

171
00:10:27,100 --> 00:10:29,900
extra protection from God. 
And then looks at me and says, 

172
00:10:29,900 --> 00:10:32,000
follow me. 
Well, I don't have that extra 

173
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:33,700
protection so I couldn't follow 
him. 

174
00:10:33,700 --> 00:10:36,800
So he went there like a man, 
just like you and he resisted it

175
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:41,400
all and showed man, that the 
devil could be resisted He 

176
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,800
walked away from there and he 
walked up the banks of the 

177
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:48,800
Jordan River. 
He saw John baptizing again and 

178
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,800
John saw him and he said, Behold
the Lamb of God that taketh away

179
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:56,500
the sins of the world two 
disciples who had been following

180
00:10:56,500 --> 00:10:59,200
John left that day and started 
following Jesus. 

181
00:11:01,100 --> 00:11:04,500
They said Master where dwellest 
thou, he said come and see 

182
00:11:04,500 --> 00:11:06,200
foxes. 
Have holes thousand, the are 

183
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,000
have not have nests, but the son
of man hath, not where to lay 

184
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,500
his head he said, come and see 
and they went for Jesus. 

185
00:11:12,500 --> 00:11:17,700
Well that day and spent the day.
Have you ever contemplated the 

186
00:11:17,700 --> 00:11:20,700
idea of Going Home With Jesus 
and spending a day? 

187
00:11:21,700 --> 00:11:25,500
Their lives were changed. 
Well, he selected these two men.

188
00:11:25,700 --> 00:11:28,800
He went on in a little while, 
selected some more laughter, I 

189
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:32,700
knew others. 
And then, gov course, he started

190
00:11:32,700 --> 00:11:35,900
out on his public Ministry that 
we call it and people begin to 

191
00:11:35,900 --> 00:11:39,900
throwing after him and many 
people began to believe on him 

192
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,100
and crowds begin to follow him 
by the hundreds around, over the

193
00:11:43,100 --> 00:11:47,400
country, the crowd soon became 
so unwieldy until he just 

194
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,500
couldn't handle the crowds 
really How do you had to do 

195
00:11:50,500 --> 00:11:53,000
something else? 
Because he was really coming for

196
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:58,800
a particular singular purpose. 
And we want to notice this 

197
00:11:59,300 --> 00:12:01,900
because tonight, we're going to 
mention to you. 

198
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:06,700
The fact that God has a definite
plan in your salvation. 

199
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,200
Now that's something the world 
knows nothing about tonight 

200
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,800
because it's a harem scare'm way
with him and salvation, they 

201
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,000
believe men. 
Just stop down younger anywhere 

202
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,900
and get out and new you and talk
to God. 

203
00:12:17,900 --> 00:12:20,300
And that's it right there. 
God will save them. 

204
00:12:20,500 --> 00:12:22,500
Another one can go do something 
else. 

205
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,100
That's not the idea. 
Ladies and gentlemen, God worked

206
00:12:26,100 --> 00:12:30,700
out a specific plan by which 
mankind could be saved. 

207
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:32,800
And I'm going to show you the 
best. 

208
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:37,200
I can how it was initiated right
here after so long of. 

209
00:12:37,300 --> 00:12:40,700
A time, after these crowds, 
great throngs, begin to follow 

210
00:12:40,700 --> 00:12:44,800
him from place to place, Jesus 
decided that the time had come 

211
00:12:44,900 --> 00:12:48,000
for him to show forth his 
kingship to certain extent. 

212
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:52,600
And he was called King. 
The prophets, referred to him as

213
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:56,500
the Messiah, the coming King. 
I know, he came, so unlike a 

214
00:12:56,500 --> 00:13:00,100
king, unearthly king. 
He was not born in a palace. 

215
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,400
He wasn't wrapped in fine 
clothes. 

216
00:13:02,900 --> 00:13:06,900
He didn't ride in a chariot. 
He didn't have servants 

217
00:13:06,900 --> 00:13:10,600
attending him that we freely 
admit, but he had come to be a 

218
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,100
king. 
Isaiah had said, my ways are not

219
00:13:13,100 --> 00:13:14,800
your ways. 
Saith the Lord, neither my 

220
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,200
thoughts, your thoughts Versa 
Heavens are higher than the 

221
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:18,900
earth. 
So are my ways in your ways, and

222
00:13:18,900 --> 00:13:22,800
my thoughts than your thoughts 
that we certainly admit. 

223
00:13:23,300 --> 00:13:27,300
But during his lifetime, he made
manifest the fact that he was a 

224
00:13:27,300 --> 00:13:30,200
king. 
I know, in John 18 and 37, when 

225
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:35,900
you stood before Pilate father 
said our talent, our King, Jesus

226
00:13:35,900 --> 00:13:39,200
said, thou say is that, I am a 
king to this end was I born and 

227
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,700
for this cause came I into the 
world. 

228
00:13:41,900 --> 00:13:48,900
So Jesus Christ, of course, was 
the king and he came to lead, 

229
00:13:48,900 --> 00:13:53,700
people heavenward, but one time 
up younger and Galilee 

230
00:13:53,700 --> 00:13:56,900
somewhere, he went out to the 
mountain to pray. 

231
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:02,800
The Bible says and he prayed all
night Jesus like the mountains, 

232
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,900
you know we talked about 
mountains overnight. 

233
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:09,300
This is one of the points that 
we should have mentioned. 

234
00:14:10,100 --> 00:14:14,400
He prayed all night as dr. 
Farris says out there with his 

235
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,600
hair, wet from the heavens. 
Do you of Heaven amidst The 

236
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,100
Barking of the jackals in the 
distance, so we honor the 

237
00:14:20,100 --> 00:14:23,800
hooting of the night owls. 
And in cradled, in the arms of 

238
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:29,200
nature, he was all alone and he 
left to be alone because he 

239
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,500
could talk to his father 
undisturbed and unmolested. 

240
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:37,100
And he did that so often he who 
could stop the winds, he who 

241
00:14:37,100 --> 00:14:39,800
could raise the dead, he felt 
the need of talking to his 

242
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:43,400
father and he did all night. 
He prayed? 

243
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:48,100
The next morning though. 
One day was come the disciples 

244
00:14:48,100 --> 00:14:52,200
come to him of great. 
Throng of disciples, come up to 

245
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,300
that mountain. 
And he sat down upon a Little 

246
00:14:54,300 --> 00:14:58,300
Rock under somewhere on that 
Mountainside and begin to do 

247
00:14:58,300 --> 00:15:02,500
something very, very special out
of that crowd. 

248
00:15:02,500 --> 00:15:07,400
He began to select his cabinet, 
the me and who would serve him 

249
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:11,700
the man who would be in his 
immediate presence and attend 

250
00:15:11,700 --> 00:15:16,000
unto the things of the Kingdom. 
Mm, out of that, vast crowd of 

251
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,800
milk at the multitude, he 
selected those. 

252
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:22,000
The Bible says, and it came to 
pass in those days that he went 

253
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:25,800
out into a mountain to pray and 
continued all night in prayer to

254
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:27,900
God. 
And when it was day he called 

255
00:15:27,900 --> 00:15:30,600
unto him his disciples and have 
them. 

256
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:34,200
He chose twelve. 
Whom he also named Apostles. 

257
00:15:35,100 --> 00:15:37,200
I say again, this was his 
cabinet. 

258
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,100
You know what man has to have a 
cabinet. 

259
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,900
I president selects his cabinet 
sometimes these long time. 

260
00:15:43,900 --> 00:15:49,400
In selecting it, what Jesus did 
it all in one moment there, he 

261
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,900
did it all at one time. 
This is also, these people are 

262
00:15:52,900 --> 00:15:56,900
also called ambassador's in 
second Corinthians, the fifth 

263
00:15:56,900 --> 00:16:01,700
chapter, the Apostle Paul, who 
was a late late, born Apostle, 

264
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,300
he says neither. 
Then he says, now then we are 

265
00:16:05,300 --> 00:16:07,600
ambassadors for Christ as though
God. 

266
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:11,000
Beseech You by us. 
We pray you in Christ's stead on

267
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:14,100
behalf of Christ be reconciled 
to God. 

268
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:18,200
Ladies and gentlemen that's one 
of those passages that applies 

269
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:22,600
to the people of that day. 
You and I are not ambassadors 

270
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:26,200
for Christ. 
They were ambassadors for Christ

271
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,800
because they were filled with 
the Holy Spirit and absolutely 

272
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,600
had V message. 
The only message that could do 

273
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:36,700
man any good and they were the 
prime ambassadors. 

274
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,100
Now if you want to call Call 
yourself an ambassador in a 

275
00:16:39,108 --> 00:16:42,300
second or third, since, by 
representing the Lord, and his 

276
00:16:42,300 --> 00:16:44,200
kingdom in this world. 
I don't think you do any 

277
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,900
violence to the thought. 
But these are the principal and 

278
00:16:47,900 --> 00:16:52,200
ambassadors for the kingdom. 
The Apostles of Jesus Christ. 

279
00:16:52,300 --> 00:16:53,700
And have you read them to you 
again? 

280
00:16:53,700 --> 00:16:57,000
Because this is the most unique 
group of men that ever lived up 

281
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:01,200
on the top side of God's green 
earth and the people who claim 

282
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:04,300
they can get salvation directly 
from God tonight, our 

283
00:17:04,300 --> 00:17:07,599
circumventing, these men and God
doesn't like that. 

284
00:17:08,300 --> 00:17:13,599
Jesus Christ, chose this man to 
be your ambassadors and you you 

285
00:17:13,599 --> 00:17:17,599
get salvation, must get it 
through their words and through 

286
00:17:17,599 --> 00:17:20,700
their administration's because 
that's the way Jesus planned it.

287
00:17:21,099 --> 00:17:22,700
And that's the way God ordered 
it. 

288
00:17:23,099 --> 00:17:28,600
Well, he chose Peter, James, 
John, Andrew Philip Bartholomew.

289
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:33,200
Matthew, Thomas, James the son 
of alphaeus thaddaeus. 

290
00:17:33,500 --> 00:17:36,500
Simon the Canaanite and Judas. 
Iscariot of course, who by 

291
00:17:36,500 --> 00:17:40,100
transgression failed in West. 
I planted by another one, of 

292
00:17:40,100 --> 00:17:42,700
course. 
Now we have his cabinet here. 

293
00:17:42,700 --> 00:17:47,700
We have these men, his special 
men, the Kings, man. 

294
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,400
If you please, you've heard that
phrase before doubtless, read 

295
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,300
something, or heard something in
the literary world that makes 

296
00:17:53,300 --> 00:17:56,200
you think of this. 
But it released, this is the way

297
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,900
it was. 
Now, then for these men to do 

298
00:17:59,900 --> 00:18:05,800
his work, they must be prepared.
They can't go out just like you,

299
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:10,400
and I today was no, Helps and 
we've got because some of the 

300
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:14,700
things that they're going gone 
to take are going to be things. 

301
00:18:14,700 --> 00:18:19,500
That are very very complicated 
and serious and meaningful 

302
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:24,500
because this has to do with the 
salvation of the whole wide 

303
00:18:24,500 --> 00:18:27,000
world. 
You talk about some men who 

304
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,800
stood in a in a very very August
situation. 

305
00:18:31,100 --> 00:18:33,700
These me indeed, I don't think 
they really realized it 

306
00:18:33,700 --> 00:18:37,000
themselves and maybe they didn't
realize it until they finally 

307
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,500
get over Yonder and go. 
Lori because the 17th chapter, 

308
00:18:39,500 --> 00:18:44,000
The Book of John, the Bible says
Jesus prayed father, let these 

309
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,700
men, let them whom thou Hast 
given me be with me where I am 

310
00:18:47,700 --> 00:18:49,800
that. 
They may behold my glory, he was

311
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,200
talking about those men, those 
men who someday believed in he 

312
00:18:53,500 --> 00:18:56,800
who someday doubted me, those 
men whose face, sometimes as 

313
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,600
high as a mountain and the next 
day was as low as to see. 

314
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:04,800
He said father won't you let me 
take them to Glory with me and I

315
00:19:04,808 --> 00:19:06,900
want you to let them look upon 
me. 

316
00:19:06,900 --> 00:19:10,000
When I sit upon my throne with 
my crown upon my head in my 

317
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:14,800
glorified state and they'll 
know, There's a lot of things we

318
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:19,900
won't know till Dean, but back 
to the story, these men are 

319
00:19:19,900 --> 00:19:22,000
prepared. 
Now, the reason these men are 

320
00:19:22,008 --> 00:19:25,700
prepared a way these men were 
prepared was because God gave 

321
00:19:25,700 --> 00:19:30,400
them the power of the holy 
spirit for the purpose of 

322
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:34,300
preaching his word. 
When he left this world down 

323
00:19:34,300 --> 00:19:37,400
here, you see. 
And also he gave them the power 

324
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,300
of the holy spirit so they could
speak to people. 

325
00:19:41,100 --> 00:19:44,800
With whom they were not even a 
acquainted with, and in 

326
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,800
languages that they couldn't 
even speak. 

327
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,100
That was the purpose of it? 
Let me read you in the sixteenth

328
00:19:51,100 --> 00:19:55,000
chapter of the Book of John hear
these words, Jesus says. 

329
00:19:55,000 --> 00:20:00,400
But now I go to my night but now
I go my way to him that sent me 

330
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:04,200
and none of you asked me where 
the goest thou, but because I 

331
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:08,000
have said these things unto you 
sorrow, has filled your heart. 

332
00:20:08,100 --> 00:20:11,700
Nevertheless, I tell you the 
truth is it is It is expedient 

333
00:20:11,700 --> 00:20:14,500
for you. 
That I go away for R5, go, not 

334
00:20:14,500 --> 00:20:18,100
away the comforter, will not 
come unto you, but if I depart, 

335
00:20:18,100 --> 00:20:22,500
I will send him unto you and 
when he is come, he will reprove

336
00:20:22,500 --> 00:20:25,900
or convict the world of sin and 
of righteousness and of Judgment

337
00:20:25,900 --> 00:20:28,000
of sin because they believe not 
on me. 

338
00:20:28,300 --> 00:20:31,400
I've righteousness, because I go
to the father and you see me no 

339
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:35,400
more, I've judgment because the 
prince of this world is Judge. 

340
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:39,100
I have yet many things to say 
unto you but you cannot bear 

341
00:20:39,100 --> 00:20:42,300
them now, but there will Your 
time shortly, when you'll be 

342
00:20:42,300 --> 00:20:46,000
able to Bear it because when the
father sends the Holy Spirit to 

343
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,100
you, you'll be able to Bear it 
and you'll be able to understand

344
00:20:49,100 --> 00:20:52,100
it and you'll be able to take it
on after I'm gone. 

345
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:57,200
So he continues, all he shall 
glorify me a happy it, but 

346
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,200
rather howbeit when he the 
spirit of Truth is come, he will

347
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:05,600
guide you into all truth. 
And shall not speak of himself. 

348
00:21:07,900 --> 00:21:09,500
Whatsoever. 
He shall hear that? 

349
00:21:09,500 --> 00:21:11,700
Shall he speak? 
And he will show you things to 

350
00:21:11,700 --> 00:21:14,700
come. 
He shall glorify me for. 

351
00:21:14,700 --> 00:21:18,200
He shall receive of mine and 
shall Shew it unto you. 

352
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,000
Now while I'm dwelling, right 
here on this passage, I want to 

353
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,700
just stop, stick a pin right 
here and talk about this for a 

354
00:21:24,708 --> 00:21:29,600
moment, you are constantly 
flooded with, Holy Ghost is MM. 

355
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,000
There are some people that 
that's all they can. 

356
00:21:32,008 --> 00:21:34,500
Preach is the Holy Ghost. 
If they open their mouth, it'll 

357
00:21:34,500 --> 00:21:37,200
be the Holy Ghost. 
They'll talk about they'll put 

358
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:38,900
us out. 
On out you under this is a Holy 

359
00:21:38,900 --> 00:21:42,500
Ghost Church and they'll have a 
TV program and they'll tell you 

360
00:21:42,500 --> 00:21:48,900
it's a TV program, it's a whole 
Goose program and Holy Ghost. 

361
00:21:48,900 --> 00:21:51,900
Holy Ghost is all you're going 
to hear and they'll tell you 

362
00:21:51,900 --> 00:21:55,200
that that's the case with me 
because we've all got the Holy 

363
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,700
Ghost and we've been baptized 
with the Holy Ghost. 

364
00:21:58,100 --> 00:22:00,000
Well they're just as wrong as 
they could be. 

365
00:22:00,700 --> 00:22:05,200
Jesus said when the Holy Spirit 
comes to these men That holy 

366
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:09,300
spirit's going to talk about me.
That, Holy Ghost is going to 

367
00:22:09,300 --> 00:22:13,100
glorify me. 
And you're going to hear about 

368
00:22:13,100 --> 00:22:17,500
me. 
Now the men who are really 

369
00:22:17,500 --> 00:22:20,700
Guided by the Holy Spirit, 
whether miraculously are through

370
00:22:20,700 --> 00:22:24,200
the word of God, are the men who
are going to go around 

371
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:28,900
preaching, Jesus Christ and him 
crucified and the truth. 

372
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,300
Those people who are always 
babbling around about the Holy 

373
00:22:33,300 --> 00:22:37,200
Ghost are just as far from the 
truth is they can possibly be 

374
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:38,800
and they're blaspheming the Holy
Spirit. 

375
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:42,300
If I don't know anything. 
He shall glorify me for. 

376
00:22:42,300 --> 00:22:45,200
He shall receive of mine and 
shall Shew it unto you. 

377
00:22:45,900 --> 00:22:50,400
So Jesus Christ, gave them that 
are rather the father did and 

378
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,900
sin it. 
Did you ever run to wonder why 

379
00:22:52,900 --> 00:22:55,800
the 14th chapter The Book of 
John and the first verse Jesus 

380
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:59,700
begins that chapter by saying, 
let not your hearts be troubled,

381
00:23:00,300 --> 00:23:04,500
you believe in God believe. 
Also in me and so on the reason 

382
00:23:04,500 --> 00:23:08,400
why he addresses them thus is 
because he knew that their 

383
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:12,600
hearts were burdened and there 
Hearts were heavy and they felt 

384
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:16,000
rather forsaken over the 
prospect of living in this world

385
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,600
without Jesus. 
Because he had mentioned the 

386
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,600
fact that I'm leaving you, and 
I'm going away, they couldn't 

387
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,900
quite get the concept or 
something coming in his stead 

388
00:23:24,900 --> 00:23:28,300
guide them yet, so they felt 
Disturbed. 

389
00:23:28,300 --> 00:23:30,900
They felt confused, they were 
troubled. 

390
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,500
And Jesus said, let not your 
hearts be troubled. 

391
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:37,300
And the reason why was because 
something's going to be, since 

392
00:23:37,700 --> 00:23:41,600
someone's going to be seen, who 
will guide you and bring back to

393
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:46,100
your mind, everything I told you
so you can relay it and tell it 

394
00:23:46,100 --> 00:23:49,100
to the world over there in the 
seventeenth chapter of the Book 

395
00:23:49,100 --> 00:23:53,200
of John, we find where Jesus 
prayed to the Father, the night 

396
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,400
before he died upon calvary's 
cross. 

397
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:59,500
And he prayed to them and he 
says to them, I have given them 

398
00:23:59,900 --> 00:24:03,800
The Words which thou gavest me. 
He's talking about the Apostle, 

399
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:08,400
the king's man, you please, I've
given them The Words, which thou

400
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:13,300
gavest me and they have received
All right, from now on you'll be

401
00:24:13,300 --> 00:24:16,900
listening at the apostles after 
I leave this world and so he 

402
00:24:16,900 --> 00:24:18,800
endowed them with the Holy 
Spirit. 

403
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:23,900
Now when the Holy Spirit was 
given it was given for a 

404
00:24:23,908 --> 00:24:28,600
specific purpose, it wasn't 
given to chase out, alcohol 

405
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:32,800
demons and it wasn't given to 
mail goiters and do other 

406
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,200
things. 
It was given for the purpose of 

407
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:39,400
conveying, the word of God, so 
man could be saved. 

408
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:40,400
You see? 
God. 

409
00:24:40,700 --> 00:24:45,300
God, the father has absolute 
Authority primary Authority. 

410
00:24:45,700 --> 00:24:48,700
Now, those who hold primary 
Authority can delegate that 

411
00:24:48,700 --> 00:24:51,600
Authority. 
And so, he delegated to his son.

412
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,600
Jesus Christ. 
He has delegated authority. 

413
00:24:55,100 --> 00:24:59,400
Now then Jesus Christ, when he 
got ready to leave this world. 

414
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:03,900
As I told you, he chose these 12
men to carry his work on. 

415
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,400
So that's the apostles. 
They have delegated authority, 

416
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,400
but it stops right there. 
They can't delegate it. 

417
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:17,800
Any father, nobody gets anything
from God directly after that, 

418
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:21,200
right there. 
Now when God gave the whole get 

419
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:25,100
when God gave this message to 
his son, Jesus Christ. 

420
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:29,700
That was no problem because the 
sun was just as Divine as the 

421
00:25:29,708 --> 00:25:32,200
father and there could be no 
mistake. 

422
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:36,200
Jesus couldn't make a mistake, 
he never made a mistake God. 

423
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:39,400
The father of course is truth. 
He never made a mistake so 

424
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,500
there's no problem doctor. 
But when Jesus Christ gave it to

425
00:25:42,500 --> 00:25:44,800
his Apostles, we've got a 
problem. 

426
00:25:45,500 --> 00:25:49,300
We've got the human element to 
deal with those men were just 

427
00:25:49,300 --> 00:25:52,600
like you and I am tonight they 
were human. 

428
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:58,000
There was a prospect of making a
mistake that was a danger of 

429
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,400
them, not getting it all 
correctly and you know that 

430
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:05,100
would that would have a problem 
with our Salvation over here. 

431
00:26:05,500 --> 00:26:09,500
Now, this word is to be given 
because this word is the only 

432
00:26:09,500 --> 00:26:12,500
thing that's going to save. 
The father sent his word down 

433
00:26:12,500 --> 00:26:16,000
here to the world. 
Now, Paul calls the gospel in, 

434
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,600
Romans 1 and 16. 
When he said, I'm not ashamed of

435
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,400
the gospel of Christ, show you, 
that's the case. 

436
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,700
He said for it is the power of 
God unto salvation to everyone 

437
00:26:24,700 --> 00:26:27,500
that believeth to the Jew first,
and also to the Greek. 

438
00:26:27,500 --> 00:26:30,200
But therein is the righteousness
of God revealed from Faith to 

439
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,200
Faith. 
So, in order for the apostles, 

440
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,500
to get the word, the message, 
the gospel, whatever you want to

441
00:26:36,508 --> 00:26:40,400
call it in a correct way. 
Make no mistake the whole. 

442
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:45,500
Holy Spirit was sent right here 
and it conveyed from the Jesus 

443
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:49,400
to these men and they got and we
have it right here tonight in 

444
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,000
this book, called The Bible, and
it's perfect. 

445
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:58,300
Now, before these men died, the 
spirit guided them to write. 

446
00:26:59,100 --> 00:27:02,600
So they sat down with their 
quill in their hands and God 

447
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,900
began to write Guided by the 
Holy Spirit. 

448
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,900
And so, we have it tonight in 
book form, we have it right 

449
00:27:09,900 --> 00:27:12,200
here. 
That you can read and you can 

450
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:15,700
understand and it's just as 
empowering here tonight as it 

451
00:27:15,700 --> 00:27:17,500
was when they spoke it right 
here. 

452
00:27:17,900 --> 00:27:21,600
In fact it's the same thing. 
Now that many people tonight who

453
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:25,000
want don't want the Bible but 
they want some more Holy Ghost. 

454
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:28,100
There are always more of the 
Holy Ghost what do you want me 

455
00:27:28,100 --> 00:27:31,000
for? 
What do you need it for? 

456
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:38,400
It brought you what God planned 
for it to bring you this right 

457
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,000
here. 
Now, Peter, when he spoke about 

458
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:45,400
that, he wrote it down in his 
epistle, he said at courting 

459
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,200
his, as the court has, is his 
divine power hath. 

460
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:53,800
Given unto us us the apostles, 
the king's man according as his 

461
00:27:53,808 --> 00:27:55,600
divine power hath, given unto 
us. 

462
00:27:55,900 --> 00:28:00,400
Listen, all things that pertain 
unto life and godliness. 

463
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:04,600
Now what was he talking about? 
About, he was saying that God 

464
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:07,900
had given us all things that 
pertain unto life and God is 

465
00:28:07,900 --> 00:28:11,300
where in the writings of the 
Holy Spirit. 

466
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:16,400
And we have it here tonight and 
I Apostle Paul says, of course 

467
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,800
all scripture scripture get that
down. 

468
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:22,600
It comes from the word script 
which means to write. 

469
00:28:22,900 --> 00:28:26,300
It's not all but it's written 
it's script. 

470
00:28:26,700 --> 00:28:28,500
So you're not going to hear it 
tonight. 

471
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:30,900
Jesus is not going to talk to 
you tonight. 

472
00:28:31,100 --> 00:28:33,900
Jesus is not going to speak. 
Peace to your heart tonight. 

473
00:28:34,900 --> 00:28:38,700
All scripture is given by the 
inspiration of God. 

474
00:28:38,700 --> 00:28:42,500
What the Holy Spirit. 
That the man of God may be 

475
00:28:42,500 --> 00:28:44,100
perfect. 
That word, perfect means 

476
00:28:44,100 --> 00:28:48,800
complete that the man of God may
be complete thoroughly furnished

477
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:54,200
unto all good works. 
Now, that was going to give us 

478
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:59,600
the perfect thing for admonition
or instruction part in 

479
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:01,600
righteousness and so on and so 
forth. 

480
00:29:01,700 --> 00:29:03,600
Something tonight ladies and 
gentlemen we have it. 

481
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:07,100
All right here and don't need 
anything else. 

482
00:29:07,900 --> 00:29:10,900
That's the way it was brought to
us and that's what we have it 

483
00:29:10,900 --> 00:29:13,400
tonight. 
Now that's God's plan for the 

484
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:16,600
ages. 
You see these men were baptized 

485
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,800
with the Holy Ghost and their 
little two by fours walking 

486
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,200
around on the earth. 
Tonight, claiming our big bang. 

487
00:29:22,300 --> 00:29:25,300
Baptized with the Holy Ghost. 
What's going to God? 

488
00:29:25,300 --> 00:29:28,700
Going to baptize you with the 
Holy Ghost for that's God. 

489
00:29:28,700 --> 00:29:32,200
Gonna baptize all Roberts with 
the Holy Ghost for what's his 

490
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,200
business. 
Anyway, what's the out Parts? 

491
00:29:34,700 --> 00:29:38,500
Why these men, the King's Men 
were for that purpose. 

492
00:29:39,100 --> 00:29:42,300
And let me tell you right now, 
there's no other little fella 

493
00:29:42,300 --> 00:29:43,900
running around, going to get 
that. 

494
00:29:44,900 --> 00:29:48,200
These men are unique. 
And everything. 

495
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,500
They said, Jim this book right 
here, you're not going to get 

496
00:29:51,500 --> 00:29:56,500
anything anywhere else or your 
salvation And I do a lot of 

497
00:29:56,500 --> 00:29:59,900
church members. 
It needs that thought, so there 

498
00:29:59,900 --> 00:30:02,900
it is. 
Now, to show you that, that was 

499
00:30:02,900 --> 00:30:07,400
the case after these men receive
this after Jesus one away, 

500
00:30:07,900 --> 00:30:09,900
though, were the only ones who 
had the message. 

501
00:30:09,900 --> 00:30:12,700
If you tell people what to do to
be saved, and God was very 

502
00:30:12,700 --> 00:30:16,100
particular about them. 
You see one time in the city of 

503
00:30:16,100 --> 00:30:20,400
Jerusalem? 
That was a dispersion and all 

504
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:24,100
the people were driven out. 
Just a few apostles were left. 

505
00:30:24,500 --> 00:30:26,200
Just a few of the King's Men 
were left. 

506
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,500
The others were out in various 
parts of the country, preaching,

507
00:30:29,100 --> 00:30:32,600
Peter was there? 
O'Hara had reached forth, his 

508
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:36,500
hand had slain James, and he 
thought it please the people so 

509
00:30:36,500 --> 00:30:38,600
much, and he thought he'd try 
Peter, you know? 

510
00:30:39,500 --> 00:30:42,500
So he put Peter in prison for 
preaching this gospel. 

511
00:30:43,900 --> 00:30:46,700
And the church got together over
the house of John Mark and we're

512
00:30:46,700 --> 00:30:49,300
praying for him that night not 
praying for his release. 

513
00:30:49,300 --> 00:30:52,200
No, Sir. 
Praying that he would hold out 

514
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:55,300
faithful. 
This plan was so wonderful in 

515
00:30:55,300 --> 00:30:58,300
that day. 
This plan was so all-important 

516
00:30:58,300 --> 00:31:01,000
until people didn't consider 
their feelings and his 

517
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,400
arrangement for salvation. 
And here it is. 

518
00:31:04,100 --> 00:31:10,500
Peter was there in prison. 
I don't read where Peter was 

519
00:31:10,500 --> 00:31:14,300
spreading too much. 
It's wonderful. 

520
00:31:14,300 --> 00:31:17,000
That these men were so endowed 
with the spirit until they 

521
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:21,600
realize their purpose in life. 
The best I can understand from 

522
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:23,800
that narratives. 
You Peter just cuddled up in a 

523
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:27,100
corner and went to sleep that 
night in that Jailhouse in that 

524
00:31:27,100 --> 00:31:31,600
great, massive place. 
But God didn't want him in that 

525
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:34,900
jailhouse. 
Why God want him Outta jail? 

526
00:31:34,900 --> 00:31:37,800
That's why just to relieve his 
physical suffering. 

527
00:31:38,700 --> 00:31:41,300
Just so he can go home and throw
a party and have a big time. 

528
00:31:41,300 --> 00:31:44,800
Go swimming the next day or no, 
not that he wanted him out of 

529
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:47,900
that jail house because he's the
only man left in Jerusalem that 

530
00:31:47,900 --> 00:31:52,400
had that message. 
And that message had to be told.

531
00:31:53,500 --> 00:31:55,000
And nobody else was there that 
had it? 

532
00:31:57,300 --> 00:31:59,600
So let me tell you one thing 
right now that right out of 

533
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:01,400
Heavens. 
Glory God sent an angel that 

534
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:05,100
night and that angel came and 
stood, right beside Peter and 

535
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:08,300
said, get up, Peter Peter, 
looked industrial an angel. 

536
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:11,400
Peter, stood up in those chains,
his fellow father. 

537
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:14,900
He said, follow me. 
He walked right over there. 

538
00:32:14,900 --> 00:32:16,900
That first big gate when he did 
that, gay. 

539
00:32:16,900 --> 00:32:20,300
Just one go. 
Somebody push the button up in 

540
00:32:20,300 --> 00:32:21,700
heaven. 
He Walked on toward that. 

541
00:32:21,700 --> 00:32:24,400
Good big gate out younger and 
it's wonderful. 

542
00:32:26,100 --> 00:32:29,700
A pop, tune it. 
Swung back to what Peter has to 

543
00:32:29,700 --> 00:32:30,500
go. 
Preach. 

544
00:32:31,300 --> 00:32:34,900
He's got the whole Spirit Daddy 
and he's only man's got the 

545
00:32:34,900 --> 00:32:37,200
message could say those people 
in Jerusalem. 

546
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,700
So when he got him on the 
outside, he said you go down and

547
00:32:40,700 --> 00:32:45,000
stand in the temple and speak 
unto the people, all the words 

548
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:50,800
of this life. 
And so he went down and did 

549
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:53,500
that. 
Matthew think there was some 

550
00:32:53,500 --> 00:32:55,500
surprise people, the next 
morning, when they looked in 

551
00:32:55,500 --> 00:32:59,100
that jailhouse and went to get 
to prisoner, it was empty as a 

552
00:32:59,100 --> 00:33:02,400
gourd. 
And there was nobody in there 

553
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:07,600
and I'd imagine these jailers 
had quite a job explaining it to

554
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:11,100
the officials. 
That they really did put him in 

555
00:33:11,100 --> 00:33:13,100
there. 
The Peter was down there, 

556
00:33:13,100 --> 00:33:17,000
speaking, all the words of this 
life because the words of this 

557
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:21,300
life is the gospel. 
The gospel is the power of God 

558
00:33:21,300 --> 00:33:24,900
and speak salvation, that's the 
only thing that could save me. 

559
00:33:26,100 --> 00:33:29,900
And that's what they had to 
have, nothing and nothing else. 

560
00:33:30,300 --> 00:33:32,800
So tonight, ladies and gentlemen
that gospel has been given to 

561
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:36,400
you and it's been given to me 
and it comes down through the 

562
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:39,800
hands of these men. 
I have given them The Words 

563
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:46,600
which thou gave us to me. 
And those words, teach us that I

564
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,000
must believe that Jesus Christ 
is the Son of God. 

565
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,600
Repent of my sins confess. 
My faith in Christ and be 

566
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:53,500
baptized for the remission of my
sins. 

567
00:33:53,900 --> 00:33:57,700
These words will be here and 
they'll stand here as long as 

568
00:33:57,700 --> 00:34:02,600
the world stands. 
And that's not all when this 

569
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:07,000
world is on fire and when it's 
all over and when we stand 

570
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:11,199
before God on the day of 
judgment these words, the words 

571
00:34:11,199 --> 00:34:16,000
of the King's Men will judge you
in the last day. 

572
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:20,500
Jesus said he that rejecteth me 
and receiveth not my word hath 

573
00:34:20,500 --> 00:34:24,500
one that judgeth him the words 
that I speak unto you the same 

574
00:34:24,500 --> 00:34:27,900
will judge you in the last day 
and of course the way we get 

575
00:34:27,900 --> 00:34:30,900
those words and read, those 
words is in This book right 

576
00:34:30,900 --> 00:34:33,800
here, these men are very unique 
people. 

577
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:37,400
Like I said, and I want to talk 
to you a little bit about them. 

578
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:41,300
Christ had a great love for 
these men. 

579
00:34:41,300 --> 00:34:44,300
As I said sometimes they didn't 
always understand sometimes 

580
00:34:44,300 --> 00:34:47,900
Jesus had to rebuke them because
of their unbelief, but Jesus 

581
00:34:47,900 --> 00:34:50,900
train them and talk to him and 
led them. 

582
00:34:51,699 --> 00:34:55,900
And one by one, they paid the 
Supreme price for their work. 

583
00:34:56,500 --> 00:34:58,400
All of them died, a martyr's 
death. 

584
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:01,800
Except the Apostle, John who 
preached about him last Sunday 

585
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:05,300
and showed you how he alone was 
left, how he was exiled to the 

586
00:35:05,300 --> 00:35:09,000
Isle of Patmos, and he came back
to the mainland. 

587
00:35:09,500 --> 00:35:14,000
And I'd over to church at 
Ephesus Arduino, but we read 

588
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:17,600
over there in John, 17, and 24, 
when Jesus Christ was praying to

589
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:20,300
his father. 
After he had lived his life down

590
00:35:20,300 --> 00:35:22,400
here and was about to die and 
pass on. 

591
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:26,100
And he was I thinking about 
these men, father, I will that 

592
00:35:26,100 --> 00:35:30,600
they also whom thou Hast given 
me be with me where I am that. 

593
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:34,400
They may behold my glory which 
thou Hast given me for thou 

594
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,500
Hast. 
Loved me from the foundation of 

595
00:35:36,500 --> 00:35:37,900
the world. 
There it is. 

596
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:41,600
Christ had a great love for 
these men. 

597
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:50,800
The least we can do is to obey 
the Gospel of Jesus Christ. 

598
00:35:51,700 --> 00:35:55,100
The gospel that was written down
by these men, and you won't get 

599
00:35:55,100 --> 00:35:58,500
anything else in this world. 
You'll never get another word 

600
00:35:58,500 --> 00:36:01,600
from the Lord. 
Accept the word written by these

601
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:05,400
men and people had just as well,
be satisfied with it. 

602
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:09,900
Now you see when you understand 
God's plan and God's way, don't 

603
00:36:09,900 --> 00:36:11,400
you see? 
This takes care of those fellows

604
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:15,000
who claim, they think they saw 
the Virgin, Mary's picture will 

605
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,500
be on her own, a bar, and Gates,
and wires, or something. 

606
00:36:21,100 --> 00:36:24,500
Are some Revelation that they 
got from God last night. 

607
00:36:25,100 --> 00:36:28,100
Got nothing to give you a new 
revelation, God's not going to 

608
00:36:28,107 --> 00:36:31,200
get anybody in the Revelation 
because God's already given 

609
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:36,800
Revelations to these men. 
We live our lives, Faithfully 

610
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:39,800
unto Jesus, all the days of our 
lives here in this world. 

611
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:44,400
And we die and we've been 
promised salvation. 

612
00:36:45,300 --> 00:36:48,200
And we've been promised a home 
and that Eternal City, which 

613
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:52,300
have Foundation But I want to 
say one thing in closing tonight

614
00:36:52,300 --> 00:36:55,900
and that's this. 
You will never forget these men.

615
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:01,100
Because when you get home to 
glowy and when you walk the 

616
00:37:01,100 --> 00:37:04,500
street of that, Celestial City, 
you're going to be reminded of 

617
00:37:04,500 --> 00:37:09,200
these men right here because I 
read over there in Revelation, 

618
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:14,100
21 and 14 where the record says,
