" 03:51 Audience: "Amen. " 03:56 Walking off the stage. 04:01 Piano music... 04:06 more music... 04:11 some more music... 04:14 music... 04:21 There is a sweet anointing here 04:29 the sanctuary, 04:32 There is a stillness in the atmosphere 04:41 Come and lay down 04:46 the burdens you have carried 04:51 for in the sanctuary 04:57 God is here. 05:02 There is a sweet anointing here 05:09 in the sanctuary. 05:13 There is a stillness in the atmosphere 05:22 a Man lay down the burdens you have carried 05:31 for in the sanctuary 05:37 God is here. 05:42 He is here, 05:47 He is here... 05:52 to break the yoke and lift your heavy burden, 06:01 He is here 06:06 God is here... 06:10 to break the yoke and take away your burden, 06:19 a Man lay down for burdens you have carried 06:28 for in the sanctuary 06:33 God... 06:39 is here. 06:43 God is here, somebody ought to be happy 06:48 to know that God is here with us in our sanctuary 06:51 but more than that... God is with us in our heart. 06:54 Audience: "Amen. " 06:56 You know when we first opened this Series up, 06:57 we saw that in Revelation 1 verse 10 07:01 that John says that he was in the spirit on the Lord's day, 07:05 he was there by himself. 07:07 You see, the Bible tells us 07:09 where there are two or three gathered together in His name, 07:11 He is there in their midst 07:13 but if there's no one else there you can count on the fact 07:16 that Jesus is there also 07:18 and as we come tonight once again 07:20 unto His house of worship 07:22 and those of you who have tuned in tonight 07:24 we know that God will be here with us 07:27 because we have invited Him to be in our very presence. 07:31 Before we go into our message tonight 07:34 and this is a very special message to me... 07:36 a message that really changed my life 07:40 and a message that I pray 07:41 will change all our lives for the better 07:43 but I just want to share with you 07:46 some of the e-mails and calls that we received 07:49 the last few days 07:51 we have a shout-out from a Mary Thompson 07:54 from the Cayman Islands and she said 07:57 that she was trying to get more people to watch it there 08:00 and I have a lot of good friends in the Cayman 08:03 so I hope, you all are on board, 08:05 Mary got you in line for tonight's message, 08:07 can we say "Amen" to that? Audience: "Amen. " 08:09 We have a Lenny and Peggy from Diamond Bar, California, 08:13 then, back from Australia, 08:15 and we appreciate the folks watching from Australia... 08:17 I know it's a different time from here, 08:20 we have a Anna Hammer who is watching 08:23 and she solicits our prayers for her there, 08:27 then we have a Janet Hunter from New Mexico 08:31 and she said that she's enjoying the messages there, 08:35 then a Theresa and a Marion from the state of Georgia 08:38 and she is not only listening each and every night, 08:42 they are asking for special prayer 08:44 and I said, "What better way 08:46 could we pray... except that we let all the prayer warriors 08:49 that are out there to hear these requests 08:52 and be able to pray for these individuals. 08:54 Then we have a Keith Hunter in Soledad, California 08:58 and he is not only enjoying the meeting, 09:01 he is desirous of us... sending to him some study material 09:06 that he can share with the people that live near him 09:09 and by God's grace, 09:11 we are going to send some things to him. 09:16 Now, yesterday, I met a Cynthia and George 09:21 in Punta Gorda 09:23 and they said to me something that made me feel pretty good, 09:27 they said, "You don't look as big as you do on TV, 09:33 as you are in person. " 09:35 So, in other words, in other words... 09:37 I'm not as heavy as I thought I was there, okay... 09:40 so that was a blessing 09:42 and then, last night, the cream of the crop... 09:44 last night, I got a phone call from a Anna Hicks in Maryland 09:48 and she said, "Pastor Dorsey, Pastor Dorsey, where are you? 09:53 I was searching for you on the television... 09:55 on 3ABN last night and you weren't there 09:58 and I was getting my friends together to watch the service. " 10:02 And I said, "Well, there was no service last night 10:05 but please watch again tonight. " 10:07 So tonight, we hope you're there Anna 10:09 and we hope all of us who have been praying 10:11 and enjoying these meetings are extending the invitation 10:14 to our friends... that they too might hear the Word of God 10:17 because God has been blessing us. 10:19 Tonight our message is, "God's Forgotten Revelation" 10:24 shall we pray? 10:25 "Loving Lord, again we are thankful 10:27 for your goodness and mercy, 10:29 we thank you Lord that you have brought us 10:31 to this place in time 10:33 and even now, we ask that your Holy Spirit 10:35 will do His delightful work of drawing us to you 10:40 let the Word of God live... 10:42 take control of everything here tonight, 10:45 and bless us with your presence, 10:47 in Jesus' name, amen. " 10:49 I like for us to quickly 10:51 remember some things in your mind... 10:55 remember some things in your mind 10:59 about the Bible that you could never forget. 11:02 Just quickly... just go over in your mind... 11:05 just bring a text to your heart and mind... 11:07 and think of some text that you know you could never forget, 11:12 well, I'm going to take the easy way out, 11:14 I think the most familiar text in the Bible is John 3:16. 11:18 Audience: "Amen. " 11:19 "For God so loved the world, 11:22 that He gave His only begotten Son, 11:24 that whosoever believeth in Him should not... " what? 11:27 Audience: "perish... " 11:28 "but have everlasting life. " 11:29 So that's something we could never forget. 11:33 We could never forget Isaiah 1 verse 18, 11:35 "Come now, let us reason together... 11:38 though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow" 11:42 we understand that this is a text 11:45 where God is pleading with mankind... 11:48 He is saying, "Let me come and talk to you, 11:51 let me bring my love to you on your level. " 11:54 God who is way up there... is pleading with mankind, 11:58 it's as though He's sitting next to us 12:01 on our couch, on our stool, on our stoop, 12:04 in our swing, in our chair, 12:06 and He is saying, "Let me talk to you... 12:08 let's reason together... I'm trying to save you... 12:11 let me save you. " 12:12 We couldn't forget that text, 12:14 we couldn't forget 1st John 1 verse 9, 12:19 where it tells us, "If we confess our sins, 12:23 He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins 12:26 and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" 12:28 and when we think about that, confessing... 12:31 what do we have to do to confess? 12:33 Well, it's easy... just tell it to Jesus. 12:35 Confessing it is just telling Jesus what He already knows. 12:41 We have to be able to pray and say, 12:44 "Lord Jesus, I am a sinner, I need help 12:47 I don't do things I don't like, I do things I like 12:52 that is what makes it addictive and I don't have the power 12:59 within me to break this addiction, 13:02 you see, I've been born in sin and shapen in iniquity 13:05 and it has a hold on me and if you don't come to me 13:09 and break this thing from me, I will be eternally lost 13:13 and I won't be able to be in your presence... 13:15 do what I can't do for myself, Lord Jesus... and do it now... " 13:21 and friends, you pray a prayer like that 13:22 and that addiction... that sin... 13:24 that is holding you... 13:25 He will break it because that's what He does. 13:28 Audience: "Amen. " 13:29 And He says, not only will He forgive you 13:33 but He says, He cleans us up 13:36 and presents us before the Father. 13:39 Oh, what a ministry the Father and the Son have in our behalf, 13:44 we couldn't forget those things. 13:46 But folks, tonight, I want you to know 13:48 there is a revelation... a knowledge... 13:50 in the Word of God that many of us have forgotten 13:54 that is as important or maybe even more important 13:58 for us... living in the last days 14:00 than those examples of Scripture 14:02 that we have looked at tonight. 14:04 I'd like for you to turn with me to Revelation chapter 14 14:08 and you've seen this text before, 14:10 but we're going to see it a little different way tonight, 14:12 Revelation 14... beginning with verse 6. 14:17 "And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, 14:21 having the everlasting gospel 14:23 to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, 14:26 and to every nation, and kindred, 14:28 and tongue, and people... " 14:29 it's just not the gospel, it's the everlasting gospel. 14:32 It's just not about the cross of Calvary, 14:35 but it's about the cross of Calvary... 14:38 it's about the commandments of the living God 14:40 that are still in effect, 14:42 and it's about the second coming of Jesus Christ 14:44 that we all have to be ready for. 14:46 The everlasting gospel... the whole story... 14:49 you see, some people who just take the cross 14:53 and use that as the only part of the gospel 14:56 and they just preach that, 14:58 they're doing people a disservice 15:00 because some individuals 15:02 think that just because Jesus died on the cross, 15:04 you can do anything you want. 15:07 I've had individuals tell me, 15:10 "Once saved... always saved. " 15:12 Pause... 15:14 And when you read the Word of God... 15:15 you will see in the Word of God, 15:17 it says, "if a man or woman, boy or girl, 15:20 goes back and does the things that they used to do... " 15:23 it says, "all of their righteousness 15:25 shall not be mentioned. " 15:26 Pause... 15:29 But tonight, I want us to understand 15:31 that it's more than just the cross of Jesus Christ, 15:33 it tells us a story of His commandments 15:36 and how important they are to Him. 15:39 He says, "If you love me... " 15:41 John 14:15... "keep my commandments... 15:43 and my commandments... " 15:44 He says in 1st John... that they are not grievous, 15:47 they are there for us, 15:49 it shows our relationship with Him, 15:51 we are doing it not in our own strength 15:54 but when you look at that in John 14, 15:56 after He says that... in verse 15, 15:58 Jesus goes on to tell 16:00 how the Holy Spirit will come into us and abide in us 16:03 and give us the power to keep the commandments of God. 16:06 It's beyond us, 16:10 and then, this everlasting gospel 16:12 talks about His second coming. 16:14 Folks, if we don't really believe, 16:16 the second coming is coming... 16:19 then you will just go through the motions 16:22 of being a Christian with modified behavior 16:26 and you can easily slip back to your old self 16:29 but when you are living each and every day 16:33 with the blessed hope... 16:34 when you are living every day hoping 16:36 that you will build a closer relationship with Jesus Christ, 16:41 you are reaching out to Him 16:44 because you want to be able to see Him in peace, 16:47 you have a relationship with Him... 16:49 that you know... the things that are going on in this world, 16:52 they're going to come to an end and He's coming soon, 16:55 he's going to rescue us. 16:58 So you see, He's a Savior and He's a deliverer. 17:02 Isaiah saw it... Isaiah saw it, 17:06 he said, "This is my God, know this is our God... 17:09 and we have waited for Him and He will save us. " 17:12 He's a Savior and a deliverer He's coming... 17:15 and Ladies and Gentlemen, 17:16 the only way that you can keep focus in this world... 17:19 is to know that you don't belong to this world. 17:22 The only way that you can focus in this world 17:25 is that you have your hope and your dreams 17:27 and your aspirations and your goals... 17:30 it's all based on a relationship with Him... 17:33 that will continue when this world ends. 17:36 You are living here today but you're living for tomorrow 17:42 because you know that the God you serve 17:44 has control of tomorrow and He's coming soon 17:48 and we have to be faithful, we have to endure until the end. 17:53 Audience: "Amen. " 17:54 Through persecution... 17:55 through tribulation... through temptation... 17:58 through sickness... through death... 18:01 through disappointment... 18:03 though broken-hearted... 18:04 we must hold on to His unchanging hand. 18:08 Audience: "Amen. " 18:10 We have to understand that part of the gospel, 18:13 so we see this angel flying in the midst of heaven 18:17 having the everlasting gospel, the whole story... 18:20 telling the whole story and it says, 18:23 "He says with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; 18:30 for the hour of his judgment is come... " 18:33 and let's deal with this, He says, "Fear God... " 18:36 in other words, have respect for Him... 18:40 have reverence... people don't have respect for God 18:44 when you talked about spiritual things they laughed at you 18:49 when you say that you are a Christian 18:52 and you're living right for God, 18:54 they say that you're a weakling... 18:56 I had one person say to me that I'm a weakling 18:59 because I'm serving Jesus Christ, 19:02 that religion is nothing more than a crutch. 19:04 I said, "It is a crutch... 19:06 I have to lean on His everlasting arms. " 19:07 Audience: "Amen. " 19:09 I can't make it myself... I am not capable of doing that, 19:13 I can't propel myself to heaven, it's not in me, 19:17 yes, I need Him, I can't be Holy, 19:20 I can't be pure, 19:22 I can't be trusted in my natural self, 19:25 but when I allow Him to take control of me, 19:28 I can be somebody, 19:29 as long as I am under His control 19:32 and His power. 19:33 Audience: "Amen. " 19:35 Respect for Him, 19:37 they say some things, Ladies and Gentlemen, 19:40 that I know that on that great day 19:42 when they see the King in His glory, 19:44 they will shudder... 19:46 they say some things negative in their jokes 19:50 and in their movies and in their books 19:53 and in their jesting... 19:54 that if they could see the angels' faces watching them, 19:58 looking at them, and recording their words, 20:01 they would die from horror! 20:03 Fear God, have respect for Him, have some reverence. 20:09 Look at the first chapter of the book of Proverbs, 20:15 coming to verse 7, 20:17 the wisest man that ever lived wrote these words, 20:21 Ladies and Gentlemen, he says, 20:24 "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: 20:28 but fools despise wisdom and instruction. " 20:32 In other words, if we would have the fear of the Lord, 20:35 we would have the reverence 20:38 and the relationship with Him 20:42 to understand who He is, 20:44 folks, if you really just stepped back 20:46 and understood who He is... 20:48 pause... 20:51 we don't give Him His due 20:53 and sometimes we talk about people who don't know Him 20:57 who don't give Him His due, 20:59 sometimes as Christians, we don't give Him His due. 21:01 We sit in church and do things that... we do in theatres 21:06 and ball parks and gymnasiums, 21:11 we come in with an attitude as though the living God 21:15 is not there, Ladies and Gentlemen, 21:17 we are disrespectful in our talk... in our plans... 21:21 and we sit in church and we think that we're automatically 21:25 going to get a blessing just because we're there, 21:27 friends, Jesus says the day will come 21:29 that we will worship Him in Spirit and in truth 21:32 not because of the religious aspect of what you're doing, 21:35 but by the motivating force of your religion. 21:38 Audience: "Amen. " 21:40 Pause... 21:43 The Amplified Bible reads Proverbs 1 verse 7 like this, 21:46 "The reverent and worshipful fear of the Lord 21:51 is the beginning and principle and choice part of knowledge" 21:55 that is... its starting point and its essence 22:00 "but fools despise skillful and Godly wisdom, 22:06 instruction and discipline. " 22:08 In other words... 22:10 a fool just wants to do whatever he wants to do 22:12 or what she wants to do 22:13 because "fools" can be men or women, 22:18 come on... I look at the definition of a fool by Webster, 22:23 it says, "a silly or stupid person 22:26 who lacks judgment or sense" 22:28 and folks, in this world, there are a lot of people 22:31 who don't have judgment and don't have any sense. 22:34 It goes on to give a list of sentiments... 22:37 it says, "a fool is a dunce, a blockhead, a numbskull, 22:42 an ignoramus, a nincompoop, a moron, an imbecile... " 22:49 the Greek takes the word "fool" and says, 22:53 "someone who has a lack of common sense and perception, 22:58 a lack of reality of things natural and spiritual 23:04 without discernment and understanding. " 23:08 So I can understand what the Bible... wisest man says, 23:12 individuals who don't give God their respect and reverence 23:16 is a fool... because they don't even know 23:19 who they're not worshipping. 23:20 They don't understand that He is God and God alone. 23:24 They don't understand that He is Creator and Re-Creator. 23:28 They don't understand that in Him they live and move 23:31 and have their being, 23:33 friends, my God who lives in glory, 23:35 rains and puts sunshine on the wicked and the just. 23:39 "The eyes of the Lord are in every place... " 23:45 Proverbs 15 verse 3, 23:46 "beholding the evil and the good. " 23:48 He sees it all... but He still blesses us, 23:51 He still gives us another day, 23:52 He still sends someone there 23:54 to give us an opportunity to know Him, 23:57 over and over again, even when we've fallen back, 23:59 He is still there, fools don't understand 24:03 how many chances we've been given. 24:05 Pause... 24:08 So in these last days in which we live... 24:12 now let's bring this back, 24:13 in these last days in which we live, 24:15 when we open up the book of Revelation, 24:18 the book of knowledge, the book of revealing 24:23 the book of telling us what we need to know 24:27 for our time now, 24:29 a fool is someone who does not understand, 24:35 he lacks judgment, he doesn't have good sense, 24:40 he doesn't have perception of the reality of things 24:45 that are natural and spiritual... 24:47 that individual can be lost 24:49 but when we first have an understanding 24:52 and the knowledge of the fear of God 24:55 and we have a reverence for Him, of who He is 24:58 and what He has done and what He is doing, 25:02 we say, "Oh God our Father, we thank you for your mercy... 25:06 work with me, don't leave me... " 25:10 Audience: "Amen. " 25:11 "Keep me, empower me, enlighten me 25:15 and if I fall, 25:17 please give me one more chance, for one more day. " 25:21 Audience: "Amen. " 25:22 "Because we know that if you don't save me, I'm lost. " 25:25 Audience: "Amen. " 25:27 "If you don't make me new, I'm going to be corrupt, 25:30 if you don't do your part, I'm never going to make it. " 25:33 We need to understand that, 25:36 that the relationship that we have with Him 25:40 is not based on yesterday but it's every day. 25:43 Audience: "Amen. " 25:45 I come back, Ladies and Gentlemen 25:48 to this text... 25:50 it's so important that we understand who God is. 25:54 This book of Revelation is given to us 25:58 living in the last days... to the seventh church 26:00 we're talking about Laodicea whose name means, 26:03 "the judgment of the people" it's number seven, 26:05 that means it's complete, 26:06 there's nothing else after us. 26:08 Pause... 26:10 It says, "the everlasting gospel" 26:13 we have the duty of taking the whole gospel 26:16 to all the world. 26:18 It says here, "To fear God and give glory to Him... " 26:25 glory... that means very great praise and honor. 26:28 Give glory to Him, 26:30 to give to Him the distinct honor 26:36 that is bestowed on Him because of who He is. 26:41 It says, "And give glory to Him. " 26:44 To give adoring praise or worship. 26:49 Folks, the God that we serve, 26:53 thousands times ten thousands and thousands of thousands 26:57 of angels bow down and worship Him every single day, 27:00 we can't even comprehend what goes on in heaven. 27:03 We saw in Revelation chapter 4, 27:07 I believe it was verse 8, 27:08 you can go back and you can check me, 27:09 it said that there are angels that are in front of His throne 27:12 that all they do is say, "Holy, Holy, Holy, God almighty... " 27:15 that's all they say, day in and day out, 27:17 24... 7... and someone might say, 27:19 "Why do they say that without getting bored?" 27:22 It's because each time they say it, 27:24 they get a new revelation of His goodness and His love 27:27 and His mercy and His compassion and His kindness. 27:30 Audience: "Amen. " 27:32 They can never get tired of it, 27:35 it's like the thing that you 27:38 would be most thrilled to know about 27:42 that would turn you up to jumping up and down 27:44 and dancing and screaming with delight and rapture 27:47 that it just keeps getting better. 27:50 Audience: "Amen. " 27:51 And these angels, Ladies and Gentlemen, 27:55 these angels are before the throne 27:56 and they hear it but He is saying this, 27:58 Ladies and Gentlemen, in this message here... 28:00 that is going throughout all the earth 28:02 that this message is being told for us to do it, 28:06 we must have respect and honor for God 28:09 and we must be individuals who will glorify Him 28:12 giving Him the glory... giving Him the praise... 28:16 for who He is. 28:17 Pause... 28:19 The next clause says, 28:21 "For the hour of His judgment is come... " 28:24 and folks... I don't like people to be afraid, 28:26 I don't want anyone to be afraid of our God 28:29 because perfect love casts out fear, 28:31 He doesn't want us to be fearful of Him... 28:33 Audience: "Amen. " 28:34 And you need to be fearful if you forget Him... 28:37 but He doesn't want us to be afraid of Him, 28:40 He wants us to serve Him out of love 28:42 and He says here, to remember 28:45 that the hour of His judgment is come. 28:47 Now, Folks, I don't know about you, 28:50 but if I know... I'm about to be judged 28:53 and I have an all-seeing God who sees me, 28:56 I'm going to try to do everything I can, 28:59 to do that is right... so I get a good vertical of me, 29:04 Audience: "Amen. " 29:05 Come on... but some of us... we know it... 29:10 and we still do what we think we can do, 29:14 we think that because we're in the corner, 29:18 in the dark, in the restaurant, 29:21 because you're inside and you pull the shades 29:26 they can't see... 29:28 because you're down on a cruise... 29:31 you know, some folks lose their religion on a cruise, 29:33 just go bump wild on the cruise 29:36 like Jesus didn't see you on a cruise. 29:38 Audience: Agreeing... 29:40 Pause... 29:42 You think God doesn't see you when you're on your computer, 29:45 you think He hears you on your cell phone, 29:49 He hears you, He hears me, 29:52 fear God for the hour of His judgment is come 29:56 it says in 1st Peter 4:17 29:58 that God is specifically looking at His church, 30:01 it says, "Judgment will begin with the church first... " 30:04 we are Laodicea... the people of the judgment... 30:07 Audience: "Amen. " 30:08 And we do whatever we want to do, 30:10 we do whatever we want to do as if God is blind... 30:14 folks, God is not blind, and God is not mocked, 30:18 whatever we sow, Ladies and Gentlemen, 30:20 the Scripture says, we shall surely reap it. 30:23 Audience: "Amen. " 30:25 We're going to see it again... unless... 30:29 unless... unless you fall on your knees... 30:33 somebody ought to say, "Amen. " 30:34 Fall on your knees and say, 30:36 "Lord Jesus, forgive me for what I have done, 30:39 I'm sorry for it" and mean it... 30:40 you know, sometimes we get sorry after we get caught. 30:43 Audience: Agreeing. 30:45 We get real sorry when we get caught. 30:47 You see, sin will make you so stupid, 30:49 it will make you so stupid 30:51 that you think you can get away with things 30:52 that you know you couldn't get away with... 30:54 I mean, I look in my Bible and I see Achan... 30:56 and I got to get back to the message... 30:58 but I got to tell you this about Achan, 30:59 Achan was really stupid... he was a fool... 31:02 sin makes you stupid, 31:03 you don't have the right perception, 31:04 "Achan... why would you steal a wedge of gold 31:08 that you can't spend 31:09 and steal Babylonian garments that you can't wear? 31:15 You can't wear them anywhere, Aachan... 31:18 you can't spend the gold... 31:20 there's no Mall in the wilderness... " 31:23 Audience: Laugher. 31:24 "Where did you hide it Achan?" 31:27 He steals it, he steals the clothes, 31:31 he digs a hole and he puts them in 31:36 but he has it... come on... 31:38 sin will make us stupid... Church... 31:43 we laugh at Achan but we've done some stupid stuff ourselves, 31:47 come on, you know it's true, 31:49 I have... but I'm not telling you what I did. 31:50 Audience: Laughing. 31:52 Jesus says, all of our sins will not be mentioned, 31:55 He takes them as far away as east from west, 31:59 east and west can never come together 32:01 from that point there, 32:03 they're going in different directions 32:04 he says... our sins are down to the depths of the sea. 32:08 Audience: "Amen. " 32:09 Oh, somebody ought to say, "thank you Jesus. " 32:11 Audience: "Thank you Jesus. " 32:12 Oh, my sins are down to the depths of the sea 32:14 and that's why... like I said the other night, 32:17 when we talk about the things we used to do, 32:19 there should be no glow on our face... 32:22 with all... "Yeah... yeah... oh yeah, when I used to do that" 32:25 and some of us get all caught up in what we used to do. 32:28 Folks you have to know that that is over, 32:31 it broke Jesus' heart, He had to go to Calvary for that 32:34 His blood was shed for that, 32:36 we should be so ashamed of those things we did 32:39 that we don't even want to think of them 32:41 when the devil brings them back to our minds... 32:43 with temptation... we have to say, 32:45 "Oh no Jesus, take it... " 32:46 Audience: "Amen. " 32:48 And we have to get like that 32:50 not just for those deep and hard sins 32:52 but for everything... 32:54 Audience: "Amen. " 32:55 Fear God and give glory to Him 32:58 for the hour of His judgment is come. 33:01 He is judging us... He is coming soon... 33:04 we see the signs telling us He is coming 33:07 and ladies and gentlemen the judgment will take place 33:10 before He gets here. 33:12 Now the part that I love the best... about this message 33:19 it says, "And worship Him 33:21 that made heaven, the earth, and sea, 33:25 and fountains of waters. " 33:27 Ladies and Gentlemen, at first you don't see it 33:30 but when we amplify this picture, 33:32 we see that John is showing us 33:35 a direct revelation from Jesus Christ 33:37 where in the last days, 33:39 He is saying that we must worship Him as... 33:44 not only God but our Creator. 33:47 Audience: "Amen. " 33:49 In other words, somehow, man has gotten away from that 33:52 and when you look at it, Ladies and Gentlemen 33:54 in history there have been people 33:56 that have worshipped every other person 33:58 or every other thing 33:59 or every other "so called" god saying it's God. 34:02 Pause... 34:04 In these last days, Ladies and Gentlemen, 34:06 there is a call for all humanity 34:09 to come back and worship the true God... 34:12 Audience: "Amen. " 34:13 The living God... 34:15 the one who made the heaven and earth, the sea 34:16 and fountains of waters, 34:18 I'm talking about the God of Creation, 34:20 the One... who in the beginning thought about it 34:23 and His thoughts became audible 34:26 and His words, Ladies and Gentlemen, 34:29 became reality 34:30 and this world came into existence 34:33 in a step-by-step plan, 34:35 He could have done it all in one second 34:38 but He took His time and each and every day 34:40 He did a little something 34:43 until He was finished on the sixth day 34:45 and then He gave us the seventh day 34:47 as a memorial to His creation. 34:51 Audience: "Amen. " 34:53 John sees the call going out to all the world 35:01 to know that we have to come back 35:04 and worship our Creator. 35:07 Pause... 35:09 The world has gotten away from this. 35:11 Scientists have all kinds of figures 35:14 about how the world began... the big bang... 35:16 They say... others say... 35:19 that some people came from the UFO... 35:20 and the UFO was from some other place 35:22 and put some people down here 35:23 and just colonized us. 35:25 Some people say, "Yeah, there was a God, 35:26 He did it... and He just put us here 35:27 but He turned His back on us. " 35:29 And then the one that really ticks me off 35:30 where it says... we came from monkeys... 35:32 now that gets me mad. 35:34 Audience: Laughing. 35:35 Why does it get me mad? 35:36 Because when I read my Bible, 35:38 it says that we're made in the image of God 35:41 and my God is no monkey. 35:43 Audience: "Amen. " 35:44 Clapping... 35:48 I look in my Bible and I see this because you see 35:51 if I don't have the Bible, I don't have anything. 35:54 Pause... Audience: Agreeing. 35:56 I don't have anything to lean on 35:58 but when I read my Bible and it tells me 36:00 "Holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. " 36:03 We have a more sure word of prophecy 36:06 when I read that all Scripture is given by inspiration of God 36:09 2nd Timothy 3 verse 16... 36:11 and it is good for doctrine and is profitable to us 36:15 for reproof and correction and instruction 36:18 that we... the men and women... 36:19 boys and girls of God might be perfect... 36:21 I can count on this book. 36:23 Audience: "Amen. " 36:24 I look at Genesis chapter 2 and I see 36:29 in the very first week of Creation, 36:33 it says in verse one, 36:35 "Thus the heavens and earth were finished 36:36 and all the host of them 36:38 and on the seventh day 36:39 God ended His work which He had made 36:41 and He rested on the seventh day from all His work 36:43 which He had made 36:44 and God blessed the seventh day and He sanctified it 36:47 because that in it He had rested from all His works 36:51 which God created and made. " 36:52 That tells me that after God made all of those days 36:55 and all those things in those days 36:57 and when He made man on the sixth day, 37:00 He came and gave us a day of memorial... 37:02 a day that we will understand where it says, 37:05 "different from the others" which were good days, 37:07 He says, this day... that He blessed and sanctified it. 37:11 Audience: "Amen. " 37:12 Sanctified means, set aside for a holy purpose. 37:15 To do what? To fear God and worship Him. 37:19 Audience: "Amen. " 37:21 Fear... not in fear of being afraid... 37:24 but give Him the holy reverence that He deserves... 37:28 He is our Creator... He is our Maker... 37:30 He is our sustainer... 37:32 he is the one that feeds us 37:34 in Him we live and move and have our well-being, 37:36 He is the One who has placed Adam and Eve in the garden. 37:39 Folks, we see the special presence that Jesus had 37:44 for His people on the first seventh day before sin. 37:49 Audience: "Amen. " 37:51 In other words, as angels worshipped God in heaven, 37:55 giving Him praise and giving Him honor 37:58 and bowing down to Him 38:00 because they are in a sinless society 38:03 but they understand who He is. 38:05 He is Holy, Holy, Holy. 38:07 Audience: "Amen. " 38:09 King of Kings and Lord of Lords. 38:11 He is that without being the lamb of God. 38:13 Audience: "Amen. " 38:15 He was that... before us... 38:18 and they worshipped Him. 38:20 So, when this new creation is made 38:23 and Adam and Eve are placed in the Garden 38:25 and they have a relationship with Him, 38:28 He lets them know that I'm your God... 38:31 I'm the One that loves you, 38:34 I'm the One that has brought you into existence, 38:36 I'm the One that is feeding you, 38:38 I'm the One that put you in this perfect place, 38:40 I am the One who will keep you, 38:43 I am the One... and because of that relationship with Him, 38:47 they fall to their knees and they say, "Lord, I love you, 38:51 we worship you 38:54 because of who you are. " 38:57 Audience: "Amen. " 38:58 And the world has gotten away from that. 39:01 They have all of these other excuses, 39:03 they have all of these other individuals 39:06 that they have prayed to and given all of of their glory to 39:09 but Ladies and Gentlemen, in the last days... 39:11 before He comes, He is looking for people... 39:14 not just the Denomination... 39:15 but people who have the breath of life in them 39:19 to worship Him for who He is. 39:21 Audience: "Amen. " 39:22 Now, I told you earlier... I told you earlier 39:26 that this controversy that we're in down here 39:29 on Planet Earth between Christ and Satan, 39:32 it was all about worship. 39:35 The devil wants to be worshipped. 39:38 You turn with me quickly in your Bible 39:41 to the book of Isaiah... 39:43 Isaiah 14 verse 12, 39:45 Isaiah 14 verse 12. 39:48 "How art thou fallen from heaven, 39:50 O Lucifer, son of the morning! 39:52 how art thou cut down to the ground, 39:54 which didst weaken the nations! 39:56 For thou hast said in thine heart, 39:58 I will ascend into the heaven, 39:59 I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: 40:02 I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, 40:05 in the sides of the north: 40:07 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; 40:10 I will be like the most High. " 40:13 He was tripping... 40:14 Pause... 40:16 How could he be like God? 40:18 Pause... 40:20 How could he be like God? 40:23 God wasn't created... He is I am... 40:26 Audience: "Amen. " 40:28 He wants to be like the Most High 40:30 but the record goes on to say, 40:32 "I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, 40:35 I will be like the most high. 40:36 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, 40:38 to the sides of the pit. " 40:40 He knew he couldn't be like God 40:42 but he still wanted to be like God. 40:44 Not to receive the spirit and compassion of God 40:49 but he wanted to will the power of God. 40:52 Pause... 40:54 How do I know? 40:55 well, I turn to my Bible because the Bible has all the stories. 40:59 "Whatsoever was written aforetime 41:00 were written for our learning 41:02 that we through patience and comfort 41:04 of the Scriptures might have hope... " 41:06 and I see it in Romans 15 verse 4, 41:08 those words ringing out to us 41:09 to let me know that all I need to know 41:11 about the things that have existed... 41:13 the things that are going on now 41:15 and the things that are coming in the future, 41:17 they're in the Book... 41:18 and when I turn to Matthew chapter 4... 41:20 what book did I say? 41:22 Matthew chapter 4, I see the devil unmasked... 41:25 in verse 8... when Jesus is taken up to a high mountain 41:29 verse 8... an exceedingly high mountain... 41:31 the devil took him up there 41:32 and showed him all the kingdoms of the world 41:34 and the glory of them 41:36 and He said unto Jesus, 41:37 "All these things will I give thee... " 41:40 Satan will make you stupid... 41:41 it's God's already... 41:44 "all these things will I give thee if thou wilt fall down... " 41:49 and do what? 41:50 "worship me... " 41:52 "Then said Jesus unto Him, Get thee hence, Satan: 41:58 for it is written, 42:00 Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, 42:03 and him only shalt thou serve. " 42:06 Ladies and Gentlemen, Jesus knew those words 42:10 those words that are the very first commandment... 42:14 because He spoke those words... He understood... 42:18 He understands... He knew who he is 42:23 and who He shall always be. 42:26 If you would turn with me in your Bibles 42:28 to the book of Exodus, Exodus chapter 20... 42:30 it says in verse 1, Exodus 20 verse 1, 42:34 it says, "And God spoke all these words saying, 42:38 I am the LORD thy God, 42:39 which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, 42:42 out of the house of bondage. " 42:44 Verse 3... "Thou shalt have no other gods before me. " 42:48 He said it, He knew these words... 42:52 because they were His words... 42:55 Audience: "Amen. " 42:57 Friends, I can go a little further... 42:59 if you would turn with me to Exodus chapter 34 43:03 looking at verse 18... 43:05 I see something else, Ladies and Gentlemen, 43:08 Exodus 34... I'm sorry... Exodus 31... 43:12 verse 18... I see something else... 43:15 it says... not only did He say them 43:18 but He wrote them. 43:20 Watch this, verse 18, "And he gave unto Moses, 43:23 when he had made an end of communing with him 43:27 upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, 43:31 tables of stone, written with the finger of God. " 43:35 Oh oh... not only did He speak them... 43:41 but He wrote them. 43:44 Let's see if we have two witnesses, 43:46 okay, let's move down a little further, 43:49 to chapter 32 of the book of Exodus 43:52 looking at verse 15, 43:53 "And Moses turned, and went down from the mount, 43:56 and the two tables of the testimony were in his hand: 43:59 the tables were written on both their sides; 44:02 on the one side 44:03 and on the other side were they written. 44:05 And the tables were the work of God, 44:08 and the writing was the writing of God, 44:10 graven upon the tables. " 44:12 In other words, Ladies and Gentlemen, 44:14 God Himself... His Son, Jesus Christ, 44:16 was the One who wrote the words on the Ten Commandments. 44:21 Audience: "Amen. " 44:22 Well, let's look at priority, 44:24 in 2nd Peter 1... 44:29 starting with verses 19 through 20, 44:33 it tells us that we have a more sure word of prophecy 44:38 and then as we continue to read that out... 44:42 it says, "Holy men of God spake 44:44 as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. " 44:47 And that's sweet isn't it? 44:50 Pause... 44:51 We see 2nd Timothy 3 verse 15 saying 44:57 that from a child you have known the Holy Scriptures... 44:58 and then when you get to verse 16 45:00 it tells us that all Scripture is given by inspiration of God 45:03 and is profitable for us for doctrine, 45:05 for reproof, for correction in righteousness... 45:07 but again, it says, "God gave it to us. " 45:10 Pause... 45:12 When we look at the Revelation we saw, in verse 1, 45:15 that God gave it to Jesus 45:17 and then it goes all through the line... to the angel... 45:20 His servant John... for us... His servants... 45:23 us... living in the last days 45:25 and He says... there's a triple blessing on it 45:27 and all through the book of Revelation 45:29 we see, time and time again, John saying, 45:31 "I saw, I saw, I saw, I saw... I saw... 45:33 but when we come to the Ten Commandments of God, 45:36 this is the only part of the Scriptures 45:39 that was written by God Himself. 45:42 Audience: "Amen. " 45:43 In it, we find God... God in Revelation... 45:46 we look at the First Commandment and it tells us... 45:49 it puts us on... on the line to let us know 45:51 that there should be no other gods before Him... 45:54 verse 3, none before Him... 45:55 Satan couldn't get Him to bow, of course not, 45:59 and we can't and should not bow to any other god 46:02 and sometimes, Friends, we bow down to ourselves, 46:05 to our advertising, to our lusts and our passions 46:07 but here we see... "no other god... " nothing... 46:10 God is the One who should be premier. 46:11 The Second Commandment... 46:13 it gives us a warning against idol worship, 46:15 it says, "Thou shalt not bow down to any graven image 46:18 or any likeness or any thing in heaven above, 46:20 or in the earth beneath, 46:22 or that is in water under the earth. " 46:23 Ladies and Gentlemen, 46:24 you don't need a plastic gold or silver Jesus... 46:26 if you had the real One in your heart. 46:29 It goes on to say in Commandment number three, 46:32 "You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain; 46:34 for the LORD will not hold him guiltless 46:36 who taketh His name in vain... " 46:37 and Ladies and Gentlemen, we have to understand here today 46:40 that too many people take the name of the Lord God 46:43 in vulgar sentences... 46:46 the name of Jesus is powerful, 46:48 when you say that name, angels look up 46:50 and look around and they say, 46:51 "Oh, what can I do to answer the prayer 46:54 of those calling on the name of Jesus... " 46:56 the name of Jesus is so strong even in your sleep 46:58 if you're having a bad dream and you can't move 47:01 and you feel something chasing you 47:03 and they're coming in... in your dream... 47:04 in your dream... you don't even have to say it... 47:06 just think it... 47:07 Audience: "Amen. " 47:08 The mighty name of Jesus is powerful... 47:11 We come to the rest of the Commandments 47:13 and we skip the fourth 47:15 and we look... at the rest of the Commandments, 47:16 it tells us that God is there, 47:18 and He is there and the things that He does 47:19 but when you look at the Fourth Commandment, 47:21 it is the only one that says, 47:23 and starts out with the word, "Remember. " 47:26 Audience: Agreeing. 47:27 "Remember" means... don't forget... 47:29 Audience: Agreeing. 47:30 Well what does He say to remember that God wrote Himself? 47:33 Not man... not someone inspired... 47:35 God wrote it Himself, He says, 47:37 "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 47:39 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 47:41 But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD thy God: 47:43 in it thou shalt not do any work, 47:44 thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, 47:45 nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, 47:47 nor thy cattle, 47:48 nor thy stranger that is within thy gates... " 47:50 "Well why Jesus?" 47:51 "Well... for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, 47:53 the sea, and the fountains of waters 47:55 and rested the seventh day, 47:56 wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day, 47:57 and hallowed it. " 47:59 In other words, it's a special day... 48:00 "I've blessed it, I've sanctified it, 48:02 when you keep my commandments and you keep my Sabbath, 48:06 you show that you are my people and I'm your God. " 48:09 Audience: "Amen. " 48:11 Ezekiel 20 verses 12 and verse 20, 48:13 so we see that God put it here... 48:16 now Folks, somebody said, 48:17 "That's a long Commandment, how can I remember it?" 48:19 Well, just remember the first and last word, 48:21 "Remember it. " 48:22 Audience: Laughter... "Amen. " 48:24 That's all it says, "Remember it. " 48:26 Now let's look at this, here we are... 48:28 help me now... help me now... 48:29 here we are, in Revelation... in the last days, 48:32 "Fear God and give glory to Him 48:34 for the hour of His judgment is coming. " 48:35 He's coming... 48:37 we need to get back to worshipping Him 48:40 because everybody is worshipping every other thing... 48:42 Audience: "Amen. " 48:44 But worship the Creator. 48:45 We come back and we see that the creation... 48:49 the seventh day that has been given 48:51 is a memorial of creation. 48:54 We saw that it was not the Jewish Sabbath 48:56 but it was something that was given to Adam and Eve 48:59 before sin was in existence 49:01 we see that in Genesis 2 verses 1 through 3... 49:05 when God gave it back to the children of Israel, 49:08 He was re-educating them to His will. 49:12 They had been in slavery all of those years 49:15 and He had to bring them back like He does with all of us 49:18 and re-emphasize to us the things that are important 49:21 and that's why He says in John 14:15, 49:24 "If you love me, keep my commandments. " 49:25 Audience: "Amen. " 49:27 So somebody said, "Well, Pastor, I understand it, 49:29 I see it but... but... but... but... 49:30 didn't time get mixed up... and days get mixed up 49:35 is God that particular?" 49:36 Well Folks, sin is defined... in 1st John 3 verse 4, 49:41 sin is defined as the transgression of the Law 49:44 so if God wrote it with His own finger... 49:46 He wants us to understand what sin is... 49:49 it is transgression of God's Law. 49:51 Romans 6 verse 23 tells us, Ladies and Gentlemen 49:56 that the wages of sin is death... 49:57 Jesus died for sinners... that's you and me... 50:02 because we all have sinned 50:03 and have come short of the glory of God. 50:05 but His mercy... His goodness... endures forever 50:08 and because of that mercy 50:10 and because the love of Jesus Christ, 50:12 we, Ladies and Gentlemen, have salvation in Him, 50:15 but that doesn't mean that we can just go out and violate 50:18 and break the commandments of God, 50:20 we can't do that... 50:21 Let's say, "Well, it's okay, okay, 50:22 we're not going to argue about that tonight 50:24 but how do you know, how do you know for sure 50:26 that the Seventh day is the Sabbath?" 50:28 Well Folks, Jesus has given us the Book, 50:30 it's all in the Book... 50:32 turn with me quickly to the book of Luke... 50:34 turn to the book of Luke... looking at chapter 24... 50:39 Luke chapter 24... 50:42 pause... 50:44 finding the verse... 50:49 It says... dealing with... oh let's go to 23... 23... 50:55 okay, verse 44 and we're running out of time... 50:57 hmmm... 50:59 "And it was the sixth hour... " verse 44... 51:00 "there was darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. 51:02 And the sun was darkened, 51:04 and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst. 51:05 And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, 51:07 he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: 51:09 and having said thus, he gave up the ghost. " 51:12 He died... when did He die? 51:13 Any Christian knows... He died on Good Friday... 51:16 it was good for us... come on now... 51:18 somebody say, "That's the best day... " 51:21 because He died for our sins because of that... 51:24 if Jesus had left and He didn't die for us, 51:27 we'd still be guilty and we'd have to pay the penalty 51:29 but Jesus paid it all on Calvary. 51:30 Audience: "Amen. " 51:32 We continue to look at verse 50 of Luke 23, 51:34 "And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counsellor; 51:37 and he was a good man, and a just: 51:39 and the same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them; 51:42 he was of Arimathea, a city of the Jews: 51:44 who also himself waited for the kingdom of God. 51:47 This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. 51:49 And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, 51:51 and laid it in a sepulcher that was hewn in stone 51:53 wherein never man before was laid. 51:56 And that day was the preparation, 51:58 an the Sabbath drew on. " 52:00 Hmmm... how does the Sabbath draw on? 52:02 Well, the day is measured from sunset to sunset 52:05 and as the sunset was coming... the new day was coming... 52:08 which was Friday evening which was the Sabbath. 52:11 Then it says in verse 55, "And the women which came 52:14 with him from Galilee, followed after, 52:16 and beheld the sepulcher, and how his body was laid. 52:18 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; 52:20 and rested the Sabbath day according to the commandment. " 52:24 It's that simple... if Friday is the preparation day 52:28 and then the Sabbath is the next day... Saturday... 52:32 verse 1 of 24... "Now upon the first day of the week, 52:35 very early in the morning, they came to the sepulcher, 52:38 bringing the spices which had been prepared, 52:40 and certain others with them. 52:42 And they found the stone rolled away... " 52:44 why? Because He was risen. 52:45 Audience: "Amen. " 52:47 It says it right here... it doesn't say what day... 52:50 it numbers the day... 52:51 you can't get mixed up if they're numbered. 52:53 Audience: Agreeing... 52:55 So if you know the first day of the week is Easter Sunday, 52:58 if I can count Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, 53:01 Thursday, Friday, Saturday, 53:02 I can make my way back to seven... 53:04 Audience: "Amen. " 53:06 Not a Jewish Sabbath... 53:08 given to Adam and Eve in the Garden, 53:10 not a Jewish Sabbath... given to the children of Israel. 53:14 Well you see, there you go Pastor, 53:15 you said it's for the children of Israel. " 53:17 Well Folks, when you look at Galatians chapter 3 53:20 verses 26 through 29, 53:21 and we don't have time to go through it 53:23 but look at it when you get home, 53:24 it tells us in Christ, it's neither male, female, 53:27 it's no Jew or Gentile, 53:28 it says that we are Abraham's seed. 53:31 Audience: "Amen. " 53:32 "And heirs to the promise... " 53:34 and so I look at verse and I say, 53:35 "This is sweet... " Ladies and Gentlemen, 53:38 it's something that Jesus has for us 53:40 that we've missed as a Christian world 53:41 but in the last days, someone has to go forward 53:44 and tell the message of God's cross... 53:46 God's commandments and His second coming 53:49 and to give to the people who are living 53:51 under the time of the judgment 53:52 that we might get everything right with God and to please Him 53:56 and stand up with this last-day test 53:59 and let them know about His goodness. 54:02 Audience: "Amen. " 54:03 And Ladies and Gentlemen, that's why we're here today 54:06 to let this message go into all the world 54:10 to know that God's forgotten revelation... 54:13 is forgotten no more. 54:14 Audience: "Amen. " 54:19 Piano playing... 54:23 Some folk would rather have houses 54:33 and lands... 54:35 Some folks 54:39 choose silver or gold... 54:47 These things they treasure 54:54 and forget about their soul 55:01 I decided 55:05 to make Jesus my choice. 55:13 Though the road is rough and the going is tough 55:20 and the hills are hard time 55:27 I started out such a long time ago 55:33 there is no doubt 55:36 in my mind... 55:39 I decided to make Jesus... 55:46 I've decided 55:49 to make Jesus... 55:52 I've decided 55:56 to make Jesus 55:59 my joy... 56:02 Friends, how many want to join Michelle and thousands of others 56:05 who have made that declaration 56:08 that they want to make Jesus their choice? 56:10 If that's your desire... 56:12 just raise your hands where you're sitting... 56:14 even in your home, just raise your hand and say, 56:16 "I have decided to make Jesus my choice 56:20 and I will be faithful to Him and His Commandments 56:25 that He has written with His own finger, 56:27 I didn't know these things in the past 56:30 but tonight... I understand 56:32 and I thank God for the revelation of His Word 56:36 that we too can be complete in Jesus our Lord and Savior. " 56:40 If that's your desire, won't you just stand with me 56:44 as we stand for Jesus Christ. 56:47 Pause... 56:49 What a beautiful scene... heaven is smiling... 56:54 good night... and God bless you. 56:57 Audience: "Amen.
