1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,240
Tremendous truths. 
We're turning tonight to Psalm 

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:08,200
43. 
Sorry, Psalm 49. 

3
00:00:18,390 --> 00:00:28,020
Psalm 49, let's hear the word of
God. 

4
00:00:36,790 --> 00:00:43,790
Psalm 49, Hear this. 
All ye people give here all the 

5
00:00:43,790 --> 00:00:47,880
inhabitants of the world, both 
low and high, rich and poor 

6
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,960
together. 
My mouth shall speak of wisdom, 

7
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,920
the meditation of my heart shall
be of understanding. 

8
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,400
I will incline my ear to a 
parable. 

9
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,000
I will open my dark saying upon 
the harp. 

10
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:08,200
Wherefore should I fear in the 
days of evil, when the iniquity 

11
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,480
of my heels shall compass me 
about? 

12
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:15,560
They that trust in their wealth,
and boast themselves in the 

13
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:20,720
multitude of their riches, none 
of them can by any means redeem 

14
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,680
his brother. 
Their gift to God, a ransom 

15
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:28,840
forum for the redemption of 
their soul, is precious, and it 

16
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:35,000
ceases forever that he should 
still live forever and not see 

17
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:39,280
corruption. 
For he saith that wise men die. 

18
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:44,480
Likewise the fool and the 
British person perish and leave 

19
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:48,040
their wealth to others. 
Their inward thought is that 

20
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,600
their houses shall continue 
forever, and their dwelling 

21
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:55,600
places to all generations. 
They call their lands after 

22
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,720
their own names. 
Nevertheless, man being an 

23
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:03,560
honour, abideth not. 
He is like the beasts that 

24
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:08,120
perish. 
This their way is their folly, 

25
00:02:08,759 --> 00:02:13,240
yet their posterity approve 
their sayings. 

26
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,000
Sealer. 
Like sheep they are LED in the 

27
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,600
grave. 
Death shall feed in them, and 

28
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,480
the upright shall have dominion 
over them in the morning, and 

29
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,360
their beauty shall consume in 
the grave from their dwelling. 

30
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:32,280
But God will redeem my soul from
the power of the grave, for he 

31
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,560
shall receive me. 
Sealer. 

32
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:39,560
Be not thy afraid when one is 
made rich, when the glory of his

33
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:43,360
house is increased. 
For when he dies he shall carry 

34
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:47,080
nothing away. 
His glory shall not descend 

35
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:51,400
after him, though while he lived
he blessed his soul. 

36
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:57,120
And men will praise thee. 
When thou dost well to thyself. 

37
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,240
He shall go to the generation of
his fathers. 

38
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:06,520
They shall never see light. 
Man, that is an honour and 

39
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:11,320
understandeth not is like the 
beasts that parish. 

40
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:13,440
Amen. 
We know God and stamped his own 

41
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,280
approval and blessing, this 
reading of His own precious and 

42
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:20,240
infallible word. 
Now my text tonight is taken 

43
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:24,680
from Psalm 49 and in the verse 
5. 

44
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:30,720
Wherefore should I fear in the 
days of evil, when the iniquity 

45
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,120
of my heels shall compass me 
about? 

46
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,800
And I want to ask the question, 
and the question is this 

47
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:43,440
tonight, are you dogged by 
iniquity? 

48
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:51,480
You see, Psalm 49 is a Psalm for
hard times and difficult days. 

49
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:57,040
It's a Psalm really all about 
the futility and the vanity for 

50
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:02,640
living for this world's richest 
status and fame, especially in 

51
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,000
light of the certainty of death 
and the reality of God's 

52
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,800
eternity. 
This is a wisdom Psalm, one full

53
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,560
of instruction, and the 
instruction, if received humbly 

54
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:17,440
and heed it will ultimately 
result in you being in a loving 

55
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:21,279
relationship to the Lord and 
offering praise to the God of 

56
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,600
heaven. 
You see, this Psalm teaches us 

57
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,560
how the ungodly lives. 
How does the ungodly live? 

58
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,200
He lives for the moment. 
He lives for the here and now. 

59
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,480
He lives for the things of time 
and sense. 

60
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:35,920
He lives for those things he can
see and feel and seek after. 

61
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,400
He lives with a view to the 
riches of this present material 

62
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,800
world. 
The ungodly have a bad attitude 

63
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:47,960
to God and to God's eternity, 
that God is not for him. 

64
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,640
He has no thought or regard or 
love for the Lord or the things 

65
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:53,520
of God. 
His attitude is like Pharaoh, 

66
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,560
who is the Lord, that I should 
obey him. 

67
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,000
He only lives for the here and 
now. 

68
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:07,720
But in contrast, Psalm 49 also 
sets forth the godly man, and we

69
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:13,760
see the difference in the godly 
man's attitude to God and to the

70
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,680
great eternity. 
He is full of wisdom. 

71
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:21,840
He is understanding that he 
needs to live in a covenant 

72
00:05:21,840 --> 00:05:25,840
relationship with the Lord, 
especially in light of the 

73
00:05:25,840 --> 00:05:28,800
certainty of death and in light 
of eternity. 

74
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:30,560
He knows that one day he will 
die. 

75
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,600
He knows that one day he will 
stand before God. 

76
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:37,560
He knows he's accountable to God
who has given him life and all 

77
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:41,880
that he has needed for his life.
So his focus is not on riches, 

78
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,680
but his focus is on redemption. 
His focus is on a relationship 

79
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,600
with God on the ground of 
redemption. 

80
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:53,520
His focus isn't on wealth, but 
on wisdom, wisdom that comes 

81
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:57,360
from above. 
His focus isn't on fame, but on 

82
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:03,880
the favour of God. 
Now it's a powerful thing, a 

83
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:11,280
most precious truth to aim to 
live in light of God's eternity.

84
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:21,400
Psalm 49 falls into four parts. 
1 to 4, you've got the psalmist 

85
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:25,240
call to all people. 
Notice the inhabitants of the 

86
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,600
world from every culture, class,
and creed. 

87
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:33,840
That call is to hear and give 
ear to that instruction and this

88
00:06:33,840 --> 00:06:37,120
wisdom. 
In verses 5 to 12, you've got 

89
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,720
the Psalmist Council. 
Council's simple, it's plain, 

90
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:45,200
it's straightforward. 
Do not envy those who trust in 

91
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:50,480
their wealth, because wealth 
cannot redeem one's soul or 

92
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:56,760
purchase and escape from death. 
And then in verse 13 to 15, 

93
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,120
you've got the psalmist's 
comparison. 

94
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:04,400
And here's he compares the godly
and the ungodly, the foolish man

95
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:08,280
and the wise, with the chief 
deference being their attitude 

96
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:14,040
to God and God's eternity. 
And then from verses 16 to 20, 

97
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:15,800
you've got the psalmist's 
conclusion. 

98
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,360
And he concludes with this 
thought. 

99
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,360
Don't fear if rich's increase. 
Why? 

100
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:30,280
Because rich men will die, and 
rich men will carry nothing away

101
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:36,840
with them. 
Man dies and nothing that he 

102
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:40,640
has. 
Nothing in his house, nothing to

103
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:48,360
do with heirlooms, nothing to do
with his bank account, All that 

104
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:56,240
he's loved, he leaves it behind.
And just imagine if he dies 

105
00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:01,120
unredeemed, hasn't seen the 
light. 

106
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:08,800
We have to ask the question, did
he never really ponder the 

107
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,040
question of God and God's 
eternity? 

108
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:15,760
When you read the Psalm, those 
four things jump out, the call, 

109
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:19,240
the council, the comparison, the
conclusion. 

110
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,320
And as I read through the Psalm 
during the time of mission, 

111
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,040
there were six sermons actually 
came to me for Sunday nights 

112
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,240
during the time of mission. 
And here's one of them. 

113
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,320
But what really jumped out at me
because we've preached in Psalm 

114
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:35,720
49 before, was the verse 5. 
Wherefore. 

115
00:08:35,799 --> 00:08:39,520
So this is the godly man, the 
man who's in that covenant 

116
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,600
relationship on the basis of 
redemption. 

117
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:46,360
He's saying, wherefore should I 
fear in the days of evil, when 

118
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:50,400
the iniquity of my heels shall 
compass me about? 

119
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,560
And they wrote down on a piece 
of paper this question, Are you 

120
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:59,680
dogged by iniquity? 
Hence the title tonight of the 

121
00:08:59,680 --> 00:09:02,480
sermon. 
Now, there's three things here 

122
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,920
that I want to try and teach you
this evening from this one. 

123
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,240
I want you to think of the 
picture that is presented. 

124
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:16,280
Notice these words, when the 
iniquity of my heels shall 

125
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:21,920
compass me about. 
Now that's fascinating, but what

126
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:25,240
does it mean when you read it in
your Bible? 

127
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,880
How do you understand it? 
What thoughts come to mind? 

128
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:41,520
Many scholars believe, maintain,
argue that the man of God is 

129
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:48,080
looking forward to dark times 
when evil circumstances and bad 

130
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:52,640
situations have come upon him. 
And these evil times and bad 

131
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:56,040
situations, they're dogging his 
heels. 

132
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,000
I'm well aware that we all have 
trials and troubles. 

133
00:10:00,680 --> 00:10:04,840
I'm well aware that evil times 
have come, and I'm well aware 

134
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:09,640
that evil things aim to trip us 
up and impede us on our 

135
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,120
spiritual pilgrimage. 
But I don't believe that's the 

136
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:18,040
full meaning. 
Other scholars say no, it's not 

137
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,480
evil times and bad situations. 
It has to do with iniquitous 

138
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:26,000
men, that that's what's in view.
And to an extent we can. 

139
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,560
We can understand that we think 
of evil and wicked men lying in 

140
00:10:29,560 --> 00:10:35,600
wait for the man of God, hunting
him like a a wild animal or or 

141
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,440
attacking him like a servant 
that doth wait to bite at the 

142
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:44,840
heels of a a weary traveller. 
And we could try and read it 

143
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:46,520
that way. 
And that's how some read it, 

144
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:51,680
that that the word iniquity here
has to do with adversaries, it 

145
00:10:51,680 --> 00:10:55,560
has to do with supplanters, it 
has to do with wicked men. 

146
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,200
There's others say, no, it's a 
reference to the devil. 

147
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,440
It's a pseudonym or a synonym 
for the devil. 

148
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:06,320
Think of the old prophecy, 
Genesis 3 and 15, that the 

149
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:10,680
serpent would wound the heel of 
the woman's seed. 

150
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:16,640
And we do know that the enemy of
our souls is diligent and aiming

151
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:21,200
to fulfil that mission. 
But I want to tell you this now,

152
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,800
listen to me carefully. 
It is not strictly to do with 

153
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:29,240
evil times and bad situations. 
It's not strictly to do with 

154
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:33,040
iniquitous men who are 
supplanters and and their 

155
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,640
adversaries. 
And to our soul, it's definitely

156
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:41,480
not a reference to the devil. 
There's more to it than that. 

157
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,960
Now, I don't often disagree with
the great reform commentators. 

158
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:49,400
I'm not fit to speak their name 
or quote their sayings. 

159
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:55,320
I'm like a spiritual pygmy. 
I submit to them as spiritual 

160
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:59,280
giants. 
However, when all said and done,

161
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:06,160
when all that is written and 
fascinating to think about, I 

162
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,120
come back to this fundamental 
thing. 

163
00:12:08,680 --> 00:12:10,400
And it's this. 
And we were taught this by the 

164
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:16,120
late John Douglas and Lisburn to
take the Bible literally, to let

165
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:20,040
the Bible speak. 
Now let's let the Bible speak, 

166
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:27,000
when the iniquity of my heels 
shall compass me about what's 

167
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,600
the real meaning here. 
The real meaning, I believe, is 

168
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:37,240
a reference to the psalmist's 
own particular sins, sins that 

169
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:42,440
are rising up against him, sins 
that are dogging his footsteps. 

170
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:47,360
And that's what he means, simply
the iniquity of my heels shall 

171
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,240
compass me about. 
You're well aware of the 

172
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,520
statement in the Bible. 
Beware of dogs. 

173
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:56,760
I remember one day an outreach 
in Tory and Aberdeen, whenever I

174
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,320
knocked in this particular door 
and the woman opened the door, 

175
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,480
maybe opened at about a foot, 
and there was a big chain and it

176
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,280
was attached to the door and 
onto the door frame. 

177
00:13:05,560 --> 00:13:08,840
And I was about to speak to the 
woman, telling her who I was and

178
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:12,720
why I was at her door. 
And I could hear oof and down 

179
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,720
this big, it looked like a lion 
to me, but it was really 

180
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,560
Annunciation. 
And he come bounding down the 

181
00:13:18,560 --> 00:13:22,600
stairs, jumped over the head of 
the woman at the door, right 

182
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,120
through the gap, right on top of
me. 

183
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,320
And there's me sprocked out in 
the bushes, and the dog with his

184
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,960
four legs is standing over me, 
licking my face. 

185
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,080
Well, I have to tell you to be 
honest, that was the end of my 

186
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:39,680
outreach for that day, OK. 
And there have been in times and

187
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:44,120
outreach here. 
Think of a wee dog recently. 

188
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:49,840
One from the estate ran out 
after me barking, biting at my 

189
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:54,480
heels recently, drawing a wee 
bit of blood. 

190
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:56,680
And it was only a tiny little 
dog. 

191
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:58,760
I could have picked it up and 
put it in my pocket. 

192
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:04,320
My my Pablo cat is is bigger. 
But that's the real picture that

193
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,480
is presented. 
It's a picture where the 

194
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:11,880
psalmist is making reference to 
his own particular sins rising 

195
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,760
against him and dogging his 
footsteps. 

196
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:19,960
Personal sins, particular sins, 
private sins, rising up against 

197
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,760
us, striking at our age, 
weakening our walk with God. 

198
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:29,040
You see, it's not just iniquity 
in the abstract, but it's sins 

199
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:35,440
in particular, sins in reality, 
chief sins, pet sins, the wisest

200
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,640
man who ever lived with Solomon.
And Solomon said this, that 

201
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:42,240
there's no man that liveth and 
sinneth not. 

202
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,440
And you see, the best of our 
service, I want to tell you, the

203
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:49,400
best Free Presbyterian minister 
there is, the best elder, the 

204
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,720
best moderator. 
This would be true of the late 

205
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,640
Doctor Paisley, Doctor Douglas, 
all of them. 

206
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:58,000
The best of those men in their 
service in their holiest 

207
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:04,160
moments, including myself. 
Our services tint it with so 

208
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:10,760
much sin and imperfection and 
what keeps us clean and keeps us

209
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,240
right? 
Well, the blood of Christ. 

210
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:18,880
So there's the what I believe to
be the picture that's presented 

211
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:20,880
here. 
Notice something else very 

212
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,840
quickly. 
The performance is poetic. 

213
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:29,440
You see, he says. 
When the iniquity of my heels 

214
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,480
shall compass me about the 
iniquity of my heels. 

215
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:37,240
It's it's, it's, it's thinking 
about how a dog could bite at 

216
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,480
your heels. 
It's thinking about how a 

217
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:43,560
serpent could bite or strike at 
your heels. 

218
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:48,200
The reference here, I believe, 
is to the power of sin. 

219
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:54,760
Sin, like a little dog, is 
forever biting at your heels. 

220
00:15:56,440 --> 00:16:01,360
And as sin bites, you feel the 
bitterness of that. 

221
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:07,280
You feel the annoyance of that. 
Sin is literally dogging your 

222
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,960
steps like a little dog in a 
path. 

223
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:20,040
You don't seem to take one step 
without feeling the power of sin

224
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:24,040
at your heels. 
Your particular sins, chief 

225
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,360
sins, your private sins. 
You see, every man and Adam 

226
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:32,080
remember, has fallen into an 
estate of sin and misery, and 

227
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:40,920
therefore every man is in danger
of the iniquity of his heels. 

228
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:45,440
I believe tonight the goal Free 
Presbyterians in the total 

229
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:49,120
depravity of the Sinner. 
Every man is dead and trespasses

230
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,360
and sins. 
He needs to be born again of 

231
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,680
God's spirit. 
Every man is darkened in his 

232
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:57,160
heart and mind. 
He has no light, he has no 

233
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,480
wisdom instruction in and of 
himself. 

234
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,320
And every man of course is 
diseased in his affections. 

235
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,280
He's told to love God with all 
his heart, soul, mind and 

236
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,960
strength, love his neighbour as 
herself, but he he cannot, he 

237
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,920
does not love God with all his 
heart, soul, mind and strength. 

238
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:15,319
He doesn't love his neighbour as
himself. 

239
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:20,079
Why? 
Because he's diseased in his 

240
00:17:20,079 --> 00:17:22,319
affections. 
And I'm not suggesting for one 

241
00:17:22,319 --> 00:17:25,359
moment that every man has 
committed every sin that's 

242
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,319
mentioned in the Bible. 
Let me just mention certain 

243
00:17:28,319 --> 00:17:31,120
sins. 
It says in Mark Chapter 7 verse 

244
00:17:31,120 --> 00:17:36,520
21, Mark 7/21 For from within, 
out of the heart of men proceed 

245
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,680
evil thoughts, adulteries, 
fornications, murders, theft, 

246
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,520
covetousness, wickedness, 
deceit, lucciviousness and evil 

247
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,840
eye, blasphemy, pride, 
foolishness, all these evil 

248
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:46,960
things come from within and 
defile the man. 

249
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:50,840
And remember over in the Book of
Revelation, we read this in 

250
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:56,000
Revelation chapter 21 verse 8. 
But the fearful, the 

251
00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:01,880
unbelieving, the abominable 
murderers, whoremongers and 

252
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:05,640
sorcerers and idolaters, and all
liars shall have their part in 

253
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:09,440
the lake which burned with fire 
and brimstone, which is the 

254
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:13,000
second death. 
But what I'm trying to bring out

255
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,640
to you is this, that all men are
not murderers. 

256
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:20,720
All men are not thieves, all men
are not adulterers. 

257
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:25,640
Now, now some have fallen prey 
to those sins and those sins 

258
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:30,760
have brought them down to a, a, 
a, a, a constant life of shame. 

259
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,200
People, when they look at an 
individual, will say, well, that

260
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,440
man committed murder and that 
man committed adultery and that 

261
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:46,840
man stole. 
But not all men. 

262
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,000
And it's not about human 
willpower. 

263
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:52,680
It's not about gritting your 
teeth. 

264
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:54,840
It's not about being like a 
Stoic. 

265
00:18:55,200 --> 00:19:01,240
The answer is because of the 
common grace of God, grace that 

266
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:07,160
has restrained men, men who have
had anger in their heart, but 

267
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,600
they not have physically 
committed a murder. 

268
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:14,720
The grace of God has restrained 
them from falling to such depths

269
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,840
and going so low. 
At the same time, they still 

270
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,360
have a, a vile, unregenerate 
heart. 

271
00:19:20,360 --> 00:19:22,800
The heart is deceitful and above
all things, desperately wicked. 

272
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,720
Who can know it? 
And I want to tell you that. 

273
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,120
Listen to me carefully. 
Now, this applies to the Sinner 

274
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,320
there. 
There's many unconverted men and

275
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,320
women and they're in terrible 
danger. 

276
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:37,760
And every step that they take, 
they live out their life without

277
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:41,160
a relationship with God, without
redemption, an ungodly 

278
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,240
lifestyle. 
What they don't realise is that 

279
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:48,680
sin is trying to trip them up. 
Sin is dogging their steps. 

280
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:52,640
And they're only ever one step 
away from dying in their sins 

281
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:56,280
and ended up in this awful place
that the Bible calls hell. 

282
00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:01,320
Sin poses a great danger, great 
danger to every man and. 

283
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:06,640
The individual Sinner who's 
dead, diseased and darkened may 

284
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,720
not know and be aware of the 
power of sin. 

285
00:20:09,360 --> 00:20:11,800
I said to someone recently, I 
can't remember who it was. 

286
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:14,920
Sin will take you further than 
you want to go. 

287
00:20:16,360 --> 00:20:21,560
Sin will always cost you more 
than you want to pay, and sin 

288
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:23,600
will keep you longer than you 
want to stay. 

289
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:29,080
If you want a wee history 
lesson, read the book of Ruth. 

290
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:33,480
Ruth chapter 1. 
Elimelech, Killian and Malin all

291
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:37,720
died in Moab and Naomi was there
for 10 years. 

292
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:40,960
It also applies to the 
backslater. 

293
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:49,080
See, you think tonight of sins 
that are past, sins that have 

294
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:52,960
been forgotten. 
Do you know that those very sins

295
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:57,760
can come back to haunt you? 
Just like the dog at your heels,

296
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,160
Just like the serpent at your 
heels? 

297
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:03,280
Let me illustrate from 
scripture. 

298
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:07,040
Remember Joseph's brothers, 
Think of what they did to him. 

299
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:11,840
And he was only aged 17, right? 
Remember, they were going to 

300
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:13,320
kill him. 
They hated him because of his 

301
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:14,680
words. 
They hated him because of his 

302
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:16,120
dreams. 
He dreamt one night that their 

303
00:21:16,120 --> 00:21:21,080
stalks came and did obedience or
abeyance to his stalk of corn. 

304
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,280
They were callous men. 
They were brutal men. 

305
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:28,840
They were ungodly and only 
Reuben's intervention. 

306
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,920
They decided no will, Will will 
not kill him. 

307
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:35,400
We'll we'll put him into your 
pet till they decided what we're

308
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,800
going to do with them. 
Remember they ignored his cries.

309
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,280
They mocked him. 
Eventually when Reuben was away,

310
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,440
they brought him out of the pit 
and sold it for 20 pieces of 

311
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,040
silver and then they went back 
home. 

312
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,120
They lied to their father, 
remember? 

313
00:21:51,120 --> 00:21:53,040
They brought in the blood soaked
garment. 

314
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,200
Could you just picture them 
coming through the door? 

315
00:21:56,240 --> 00:22:02,480
Hey dad, look what we found on 
the pathway as we journeyed 

316
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:05,480
home. 
Maybe they were crying. 

317
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:09,880
There might even been howls and 
girls from their lips. 

318
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:18,440
They said no now whether it be 
thy son's coat or not and they 

319
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:22,080
covered it up. 
Now they never seen Joseph again

320
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:25,800
from he was 17 till Joseph was 
39. 

321
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:33,120
So you do the maths 22 years or 
23 years and Joseph was out of 

322
00:22:33,120 --> 00:22:37,360
mind and sight. 
And yet 2223 years later, where 

323
00:22:37,360 --> 00:22:39,360
are they? 
They're in Egypt, they're facing

324
00:22:39,360 --> 00:22:42,040
trouble, they're facing 
imprisonment, they're facing 

325
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,640
death. 
And this is what the Word of God

326
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:48,000
says over there in Genesis 
chapter 42. 

327
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,800
And it says this in verses 21 
and 22. 

328
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:56,720
Genesis 42. 
And they said, one to another, 

329
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,480
We are verily guilty concerning 
our brother, and that we saw the

330
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,720
anguish of his soul when he 
besought us, and we would not 

331
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:04,600
hear. 
Therefore has this distress come

332
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:06,600
upon us. 
And Reuben answered them, 

333
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,920
saying, Speak I not unto you, 
saying, do not sin against the 

334
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:14,160
child, and ye would not hear. 
Therefore behold also his blood 

335
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:18,760
is required now. 
Now, do you see that? 

336
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,280
There? 
Here's the point. 

337
00:23:22,120 --> 00:23:26,320
The haunting memory of the guilt
and power of sin in the day of 

338
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:32,280
trouble came back to their mind,
came to the forefront of their 

339
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,120
thinking. 
Sin that was unconfessed, 

340
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:37,880
unrepentant. 
Sin that had lay in dormant for 

341
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:43,080
2223 years. 
We'd be verily guilty concerning

342
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:47,600
our brother. 
Reuben, remember, said that I 

343
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,400
not say unto you, sin not 
against the child. 

344
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:55,640
Therefore because of that, 
behold also his blood is 

345
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:59,520
required. 
Reuben of course had big ideas, 

346
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,400
but he hadn't the initiative and
guts to follow through on those 

347
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:08,760
ideas and applies to the 
backslider as as old sins of the

348
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,560
past haunting you in your heart 
and your mind. 

349
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,400
You go to bed with them and you 
wake up and you remember what 

350
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,800
happened in the past. 
Something has triggered it. 

351
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:25,520
It applies to the deathbed. 
Those that near the end have sat

352
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,560
with men and, and their minds 
have been full of thoughts of 

353
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:32,600
agony of soul and they've 
confessed to me they're afraid 

354
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:36,440
and, and they, they announced 
and realised that they've made 

355
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,560
wrong decisions, bad decisions 
in the past. 

356
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:43,600
And those decisions were done 
sometimes it was spite and done 

357
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:47,520
out of hatred and and done out 
of a spirit of jealousy and, and

358
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,800
envy. 
Those sins don't lie down. 

359
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,720
Those sins have robbed them of 
peace. 

360
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,240
What about the times of 
heartfelt rejections of Christ? 

361
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,720
What about the haunting memory 
of a lost opportunity? 

362
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,560
What about the haunting memory 
of a life of rejection of 

363
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,480
Christ? 
What about the hunt and memory 

364
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,160
of the times you were called to 
repent and believe and, and 

365
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:18,840
still tonight, whatever age you 
are, you, you're not yet in a 

366
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:22,040
relationship with the Lord you. 
You're not yet redeemed. 

367
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,600
Think of Psalm 23, verse four. 
Yeah, though I walk through the 

368
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,920
valley of the shadow of death, I
will fear no Weevil for that 

369
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:36,600
word with me. 
Let me ask if you won with you 

370
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:40,000
in the journey. 
Let me ask you have you one who 

371
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:44,280
will carry you over across the 
river Have you one with you who 

372
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:47,880
will deliver you and give you 
the victory in the day of death 

373
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,560
and and and you see if in 
Canaan's side. 

374
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:55,280
Let me tell you something else 
very quickly. 

375
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,560
It's a reference here not just 
to the power of sin, but also 

376
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:03,320
the pollution of sin. 
See the context here is an 

377
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:09,360
ungodly man in health and 
strength, and he discovers his 

378
00:26:09,360 --> 00:26:15,200
wealth is useless. 
No man has the power to remove 

379
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:19,680
the guilt of his own sin. 
His wealth, his riches are 

380
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:21,200
useless. 
You've heard the same Money 

381
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:25,560
talks, and it does, but doesn't 
talk to God. 

382
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:28,720
Money doesn't open the door to 
heaven. 

383
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:32,000
Money can't buy happiness. 
Money can't buy freedom from 

384
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:35,160
guilt and the power of sin, 
neither a man's wealth. 

385
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,360
Look at verse seven of the 
context here. 

386
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,880
It says none of them can by any 
means redeem his brother nor 

387
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:42,880
give to God a ransom for him. 
Why? 

388
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:46,920
For the redemption of their soul
is precious and it ceases 

389
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,040
forever. 
Neither a man's works for big 

390
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,680
grace, you see through faith and
none of yourselves is gift of 

391
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:55,520
God, not of works that any man 
should boast. 

392
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:59,600
You see the power and the 
pollution and the poison of sin 

393
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,160
can only be dealt with on the 
basis of redemption. 

394
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,480
That's why he says for the 
redemption of their soul is 

395
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:07,480
precious. 
Look at verse 15. 

396
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:11,720
But God will redeem my soul from
the power of the grave, and for 

397
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:17,880
he shall receive me. 
See, redemption is connected to 

398
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:21,560
the shed blood of the Lord Jesus
Christ, and only the shed blood 

399
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:23,520
of the Lord Jesus Christ deal 
with them. 

400
00:27:24,120 --> 00:27:26,960
Redemption is the only ground 
that sets a man's free from 

401
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:30,160
sins, power, pollution, poison, 
pleasure, and one day from His 

402
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,600
presence. 
Redemption can lift a man out of

403
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,480
the place of condemnation, 
death, and punishment for sin 

404
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,680
and bring him into the place of 
commendation. 

405
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:40,520
Well done, good and faithful 
servant. 

406
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,960
Redemption gives a man a new 
standing with Gaunt. 

407
00:27:44,120 --> 00:27:46,800
Redemption translates him from 
the Kingdom of darkness into the

408
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:50,320
Kingdom of light. 
Redemption translates a man from

409
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:54,240
the road to hell to the road to 
heaven to to have the assurance 

410
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,000
of the Psalm, as surely goodness
and mercy shall follow me up the

411
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,760
days of my life, and I will 
dwell in the House of the Lord 

412
00:27:59,960 --> 00:28:02,040
forever. 
That's the only way of dealing 

413
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:06,520
with the heels of iniquity. 
That's the only way to deal with

414
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,360
sin. 
Bedding at your heels. 

415
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,280
What is sin? 
Sin as any want of conformity 

416
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:14,760
unto your transgression of the 
law of God. 

417
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:17,640
We live in a day when men have 
renamed sin. 

418
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:22,280
We, we, we, we. 
We live in a day when car theft 

419
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:24,480
is looked upon us, joyriding. 
We look. 

420
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:28,640
We live in a day when violence 
and rioting against the police, 

421
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:29,720
well, that's just looked upon 
us. 

422
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:34,120
Recreational disturbances. 
This is a day after gross 

423
00:28:34,120 --> 00:28:39,240
ignorance of what sin really is 
and what sin does and do that we

424
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:42,320
could discover that because it's
all bound up in this 

425
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:44,400
performance. 
That's prophetic. 

426
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:51,000
The heels of iniquity. 
Let me finish. 

427
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:53,320
Think of the peace of the 
pardon. 

428
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:58,360
You see, here's a question 
Wherefore should I fear in the 

429
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,920
days of evil, when the iniquity 
of my heels will compass me 

430
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:09,160
about the The godly man has 
realised something I don't need 

431
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:15,800
to fear in the days of evil. 
Why? 

432
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:22,440
Because I'm redeemed, but God 
will redeem my soul from the 

433
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,400
power of the grave, for he shall
receive me. 

434
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:25,960
Sealer. 
Think about that. 

435
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:32,600
You see, I admit that we're not 
perfect, but we are accepted in 

436
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:37,240
Jesus Christ. 
Jesus died and rose again from 

437
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:40,000
the dead and is ascended into 
heaven, and we're accepted in 

438
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,840
the Beloved, and we're redeemed 
by blood. 

439
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:46,280
And God can see the blood mark 
upon us, the blood of atonement.

440
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,720
And we have faith in Christ that
we don't need to fear, because 

441
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,440
we've got a full, free and 
forever pardon, and we've 

442
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:56,520
committed all our lives all that
we are and all that we have to 

443
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:58,800
Christ. 
Listen to these words. 

444
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,280
Nevertheless, I'm not ashamed, 
for I know in whom I have 

445
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:04,800
believed, and I'm persuaded that
He's able to keep that which 

446
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,720
I've committed unto Him against 
that day. 

447
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:11,000
Is that your testimony as we 
wrap things up tonight? 

448
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:14,280
What's your attitude to the 
gospel, the good news of the 

449
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,880
death and resurrection and 
ascension of Jesus Christ? 

450
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:23,440
What's your attitude to sin? 
What's your attitude to God? 

451
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,520
Your attitude to to God's 
eternity? 

452
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:37,160
Are you living for the frivolity
and the futility and foolishness

453
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:43,440
of riches? 
You see, riches are brief at 

454
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:50,440
best, but riches are useless 
because wealth or riches cannot 

455
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:56,080
purchase our souls. 
Redemption, riches and wealth 

456
00:30:56,240 --> 00:31:00,680
isn't a real comfort. 
And listen to me carefully as we

457
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,640
finish. 
Riches and wealth will be left 

458
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:07,720
behind to death. 
And the rich man, billionaire, 

459
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:11,000
millionaire, he'll experience 
death like the poor man. 

460
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,720
And you know what'll happen? 
His wealth will be left to 

461
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:21,680
others, and that other that 
receives that wealth will take 

462
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:28,000
it to spend of it. 
And if it's left to an ungodly 

463
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:35,560
soul, it'll be wasted. 
You think of hard working men, 

464
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:44,120
men who live and die, die 
without God, having refused to 

465
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:48,280
live in light of eternity. 
The leaves, the wealth, the 

466
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:51,680
others, what does it profit them
in that day? 

467
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:56,400
They have no peace. 
Therefore, being justified by 

468
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:59,320
faith, we have peace with God 
through our Lord Jesus Christ. 

469
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:01,960
Not only peace with God, but we 
can know the peace of God. 

470
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:06,880
This is Zia, the Prophet said, 
there thou will keep him in 

471
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,560
perfect peace, his mind to stay 
the knee, because he trusteth 

472
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:11,440
the knee. 
And here's this great question. 

473
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:15,160
Wherefores I fear in the days of
evil? 

474
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:20,120
I don't have to be afraid 
because I'm redeemed. 

475
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:25,520
The redemption of my soul is 
precious. 

476
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,960
There's the peace of the pardon.
And if you're redeemed tonight 

477
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:33,000
and the blood marks upon you, 
you can rejoice. 

478
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:35,800
You have the right attitude to 
God and the gospel. 

479
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:39,800
But if you haven't tonight, I 
issue this. 

480
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:43,680
Don't aim for riches. 
Aim for redemption and a 

481
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:46,640
relationship with God. 
Don't aim to be famous. 

482
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:50,960
Aim for the favour of God. 
Don't aim for silver. 

483
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:54,120
Aim for the smile of a loving 
Heavenly Father. 

484
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:58,600
That would be my advice. 
Don't aim for wealth. 

485
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:02,640
Aim for the wisdom that comes 
from God through this book. 

486
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:05,520
The fear of the Lord is the 
beginning of wisdom. 

487
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:09,480
Knowledge of the Holy is 
understanding. 

488
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:15,720
If you're dog by the heels of 
iniquity, then I would urge you 

489
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:21,120
to search your heart. 
Whether you're in your sins, 

490
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:24,000
whether you're a backslider, or 
whether you feel that you're 

491
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:28,560
near the end, then I would urge 
you to look to the bleeding 

492
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:30,960
lamb. 
Plead the power of the blood. 

493
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:36,600
The blood of Jesus Christ, 
remember, cleanseth us from all 

494
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:38,880
sin. 
And if you put your faith and 

495
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:42,400
trust in Christ and plead the 
power of that blood, then you'll

496
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:45,280
have this peace, the peace of 
the pardon. 

497
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:49,760
You'll not have to fear even 
when the heels of iniquity 

498
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:52,920
compass you about. 
And when the devil comes with 

499
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:56,080
those sins, you can tell him 
what sins you're talking about, 

500
00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:00,680
because they're all forgiven. 
It's not what Luther did when 

501
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:02,200
the devil came to him in a 
dream. 

502
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:03,920
These are all your sins, Martin 
Luther. 

503
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:06,560
And it was all in scrolls. 
There's there many more. 

504
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:08,080
Yes, there is. 
There's loads more. 

505
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:10,080
And he'd picked up the pain of 
his dream. 

506
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:12,880
The blood of Jesus Christ, his 
Son cleanseth us from all sin. 

507
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:16,199
It's not tremendous. 
And he went to bed happy and he 

508
00:34:16,199 --> 00:34:20,000
slept the sleep of the just. 
May that be your experience 

509
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:22,719
tonight. 
Thank you for coming. 

510
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,639
Thank you for sharing with us. 
We're going to sing in closing, 

511
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:29,120
appreciate somebody must have 
been praying really hard there 

512
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:31,880
for my voice have kept up well, 
reasonable at least.
