(Audio Sermon Clip) God Is Jealous for You — Keith Daniel

God's Jealousy and Pure Religion

James asked in chapter 4 verse 5,. Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? Do you think that the scripture saith in vain, That the Holy Spirit, the Holy Ghost that God hath put in you is jealous?

Keeping Faith Unspotted From the World

Do you think God says that in vain in the book? The Holy Spirit that God hath put in you is jealous? He's jealous! In chapter 1 verse 27 he says,. Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, And to keep himself unspotted from the world.

Spiritual Unfaithfulness and Enmity With God

Oh, God is jealous of us. God is jealous of us and to those of us who have not kept ourselves unspotted from the world. James cries out in chapter 4 verse 4,. Ye adulterers and adulteresses! Know ye not that the censure of the world is enmity with God?

You become unfaithful to God!

For do you sit here tonight,.

Remembering When Faith Was Real

And your peace with God has become spotted by the world, Your testimony has become spotted. Oh, the devil enticed you, As he saw you there, When you were vitally real. He trembled, he trembled. Do you remember when you were real?

Do you remember when you were real? When you did more damage to Satan than a man with degrees behind his name, Because all that he knew was all up here, not here. The little you had was here. And every step you took, you did more damage to Satan.

He trembled as he saw what you were doing for the kingdom. Reality is all that matters in this religion, sir. Reality and Satan tremble. Do you remember when you were real? Do you remember when your quiet times were real?

Returning to Prayer and Communion With God

Can every one of you please remember? When nothing would keep you from prayer. Nothing would keep you from the Bible. No television, nothing. Not even church activity.

Nothing would keep you from God. Nothing would make you neglect God.

Do you remember when you were real? Do you remember when you used to take the pen, sir? God remembers. Do you remember when you used to mark? Oh, you used to mark it and put the date. This isn't just coincidence.

Scripture Becoming Living and Personal

God is speaking to me. This book becomes a living miracle. God is speaking to me. You mark and you mark. All the verses, they burn into your soul. And you become conscious of God. God communing with me.

God literally speaking. It's living. And suddenly you look back and you realize every single verse you marked on the whole page, the whole Bible, throbbing. Everything was throbbing. Do you remember when you were real with God?

God's Love, Grace, and the Apple of His Eye

Do you remember? Do you remember? God remembers. God remembers.

You are the apple of God's eye. You're the treasure of this God of mine. You filled heaven with such joy that if you just knew, all of us would burst into worship, joining them at what is happening right now in the heart of God and the angels.

Don't doubt that. You're so much to God. Go now in the love of Christ and never let it happen again. He gives you the grace. He'll give you all the grace you need to walk with God through this world to your last step.

Guarding Spiritual Fervor Through Quiet Time

If you never neglect the quiet time now, that's going to guard what you found here again tonight. The devil won't ever be able to take this away from you if you never neglect the quiet time. The quiet time?
