Breaking the Yoke — David Wilkerson

The Yoke of Christ and the Call to Righteousness

I want you to, I'm going to go to two verses, do you love the word? Do you turn to the word of God? I do, I hope you brought your Bibles and don't forget your Bible on Tuesdays and Sundays, every service.

Would you, before we go, Matthew 11 chapter, 11th chapter of Matthew, just turn to Matthew 11, I'm going to have you read one verse or two, but before you do, look this way for just a minute. You that have been coming on a regular basis and you who plan to come, you know the greatest thing you could do for many, many people, if you've been talking to friends who say, I'm so hungry for the Lord, you know others who may want what you believe you're receiving from the Lord, get on the telephone, you don't have to sell it.

But if your heart's burning and the Lord has touched you, testify to what He's done, and it can be that they could come and their heart too burn and set on fire, and they'd be provoked to righteousness and holiness, and that can be a great change in their lives.

We're not just interested in getting a bunch of people together, that could be done by using gimmicks in a lot of public relations and PR. We're looking for hungry hearts who will come and bring their Bibles, not afraid to be reproved righteously and lovingly, and who said, Brother Wilkerson, we really need something from God.

And I pray that the message will be delivered in that kind of love tonight. Breaking the yoke. Breaking the yoke. I want you to look at Matthew 11, 29, two verses. I look upon you, I am meek and lowly in heart, and you shall find rest unto your soul.

For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. My yoke is easy, my burden is light. Do you see that? I turn to Jeremiah, turn left to Jeremiah, and I'm going to have you read one verse with me, and then I want you to keep it open to Jeremiah, because I'm going to do a lot of my preaching from Jeremiah tonight.

We're going into the prophecies of Jeremiah, and I want you to read one verse. I'm reading King James, whatever verse you have, it'll come up very clear there. Jeremiah 5, the bustling of the leaves. That's music.

Amen. Jeremiah 5. Just a minute. You know, I used to go to church, and never had to take my Bible. You know, a lot of Seventy God churches are that way. A lot of Baptist churches are that way. You don't have to take your Bible, because the pastor will take a text, and you never go back to the Bible.

Just one little verse. You're going to read it with me, because it's going to get strong enough that you're going to have to look at it and prove me. And we'll speak unto them, for they have known the word of the Lord, and the judgment of their God, but they have altogether broken the yoke, and burst upon you, learning of my sin.

These have altogether broken the yoke. The lighters, conditions that are not on the sound, help us to predict. Even though we've never been in this room before, you have seen to clear it out of all demon opposition, and every lying spirit, and there's a freedom of the Holy Ghost.

Now, Lord, I want the word to come forth with unction and anointing. Lord, try to deepen our hearts, because there are some here, Lord, are going to have to deal with these things tonight. We're going to have to deal with it.

Lord, we heard Tuesday night some things. We had our strong word, things that we have to deal with, Lord. Get the poison out of our system. Now, Lord, deal with this even stronger if you must. Lord, we're not afraid of your rod.

It comforts us. Hallelujah. In Jesus' name, I pray. If you can show me ten righteous men in Sodom, I'll save and spare Sodom. And God couldn't find ten righteous men, so He destroyed it. He gets down to one.

He said, if you can find me, where is it? I want you to read it with me, please. Fifth chapter. Do you have fifth chapter? Verse 1. Run, you, to and fro, through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now and know and seek in the broad places thereof.

If you can find a man, just one man, execute a judgment that seeketh the truth, that these are people. Show me a man. They were going about saying, He is Lord, He lives. Ship of Jehovah. This is what makes it so.

Verily, I know him falsely, neither shall you profane him. 1912. You shall not take my name in vain. You shall not say, He is my Lord, and lie. That's falsely naming His name. Thou shall not take the name of thy Lord God in vain.

Don't take it upon yourself to say, He lives, He's my Lord, if you're not in truth living it. And that's what the message is about, and we're going to come down very hard on what I believe. He's saying to my heart, the church confesses and believes that He is Lord.

But I want you to notice something. He's not talking here to Sodom. He's not talking to Babylon. He's not talking to an ungodly crowd. He's talking to the church. He's talking to His own people. He's talking to His own people, and He says, You go out, Jeremiah.

Now, Jeremiah is a man standing in the gap. He's a righteous man. But God's looking on the whole society now. He's looking on the people of God. And He said, Jeremiah, I'm going to destroy this place.

I'm going to bring judgment. Jeremiah, show me one man. Show me one who claims that he is under the Lordship of Jehovah. Just one that seeketh the truth, that walks in truth and righteousness, and I'll pardon.

Now, God said He's looking for the truth because look at verse 3. O Lord, are not Thine eyes upon the truth? God was saying, I don't care how loud they praise Me. He said they come to My house and they cover the altar with their tears, and yet they have a doctrine in their hearts.

I don't care how much you go around testifying and boasting. I don't care how much you pay your tithe. I don't care how faithful you are in all of these things. I am looking for truth. My eye is on the truth.

My eye is not on what you say. And there are thousands of people in America right now meeting. I can take you to many churches right now. People are saying, He's Lord, He's Lord. They're singing, He's Lord, He's Lord.

And they're lying. God says, I'm not on the sound of the music. My eye and my ear is not on that. I'm looking for truth. I'm looking at the heart. God was incensed. God was absolutely livid in wrath and anger.

False Worship and the Judgment of God

And I want you to look at Jeremiah 7. Turn over to Jeremiah 7. These people were saying, He's Lord, but they were living such a lie. And I want you to look at God's attitude. Jeremiah 7, verse 8. You're trusting lying words.

It cannot profit. Will you steal, murder, commit adultery, swear falsely, burn incense under Baal, and walk after the gods whom you know not? Then come and stand before Me in this house, which is called by My name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations.

Is this house which is called by My name become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen it, saith the Lord. Now go you now unto My place, which was in Shiloh, where I set My name at the first.

And see what I did to it for the wickedness of My people Israel. Do you remember what happened at Shiloh? That's where Eli's heart yearned for the ark of God. Here was a man whose heart bled for the things of God.

And yet God said, Ichabod, God closed the doors of His own house in Shiloh. Because they were saying, Lord, Lord, covering the elders with tears, but they were offering strange fire before God. 13, And now because ye have done all these works, saith the Lord, and I speak unto you, rising up early and speaking, but ye heard not, and I called you, but ye answered not.

Therefore will I do unto this house which is called by My name, when ye trust in the place which I gave to you and to your fathers as I have done to Shiloh, and I will cast you out of My sight as I have cast out all your brethren, even the whole seed of Ephraim.

Now who is he talking to? He's talking to people who said He lives. The Lord lives. He's my God. You see that. Look again. Chapter 5, verse 2. And though they say, The Lord liveth, surely they swear falsely.

Now I want you to look at verse 7. See how God had prospered these people. How shall I pardon thee? Chapter 5, verse 7. Jeremiah. How shall I pardon thee for this? Thy children have forsaken Me. They have sworn by them that are no gods, when I have fed them to the fool.

In other words, when I've prospered... Folks, what does the Bible say? That the goodness of the Lord is to lead us to repentance. Isn't that it? God allowed the stock market to go off the chart. God has allowed the lowest unemployment in the history of this nation.

He has flooded us with goods. And people developed a doctrine so they could hold on to it. They call it prosperity. Name it and claim it. Now I want you to listen closely. God's allowed this prosperity, but that was to bring us to repentance.

God was giving us time and space to repent. We've crossed the deadline, folks. We have crossed that deadline. Look what happens when God prospered them. And they assembled themselves by troops in the harlot's houses.

There was fed horses in the morning, every one made after his neighbor's wife. Shall not visit for these things said the Lord? And shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this? Turn to Jeremiah 6.

I want to show you chapter 6. They flocked to a gospel of prosperity. They had no time for reproof. They refused to believe that God was a God of judgment. Now I'm building on what God spoke to us this morning.

Look me in the eye before we go. Just believe in Jeremiah 6. Look at me. Right this way. Hear me, please. There are so many in the pulpit today preaching a false gospel of peace, peace. And they're trying to tell God's people that God is not a God of judgment.

That all He is is a God of love. And all you hear is you are loved, you are loved, you are loved. Yes, He does love us, but He's a holy God and He deals with sin. And we've got to understand something about the nature of our God.

We've been deceived. The church has been deceived. Look at Jeremiah 6, verse 13. "...from the least of them even to the greatest of them. Everyone is given to covetousness, and from the prophet even unto the priest everyone deals falsely.

They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace, when there is no peace. Were they ashamed when they had committed abominations? No, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush.".

These were the Scriptures that Bob was talking about this morning. "...Therefore they shall fall among them that fall. At the time that I visit them they shall be cast down, saith the Lord. Pray and see and ask for the old paths.

Where is the good way? And walk in it. And you shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk. Watchmen over you are saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken.".

Turn back to Jeremiah 5. "...the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against Me, saith the Lord. They have belied the Lord and said, It's not He.". Now, the original Hebrew says, they have said that God is not that kind.

God is not that way. He does not judge. We don't serve a God of judgment. We serve only a God of mercy and grace and peace and love. Do you understand that they're not preaching holiness in 99 of our churches anymore?

They're preaching not separation, but unity. Unity at any cost. And I can take you to my Bible and show you that if you're walking in Jesus and He's your head, you don't have to have anybody organize you into unity.

You're united to the head because you walk with Jesus. And if you walk with Jesus tonight, I don't have to have any kind of person try to bring us together. We're together, though I don't even know your name.

We are united because He's the head and we're attached to the head. There's no other unity other than outside of coming to the head. "...upon you, neither shall we see, say, nor find what you've been hearing.".

Garbage coming off of much of Christian television. It's nothing but... I have to tell you, it's garbage. Christ that we're trying to portray to the world came walking into some of those TV studios on his donkey, barefooted, they'd throw him out.

A place to lay his head. What do you think? Then to hear the Gospel that's being preached. Do you know that when I wrote the book Set the Trumpet to Your Mouth, the greatest kind of reproof I got? I got more problems from preachers, prophetic preachers, who said God will not destroy America.

God will not send judgment on America. Because we serve a God of mercy, we serve a God of love. They have lied about the Lord saying that's not our God. That's not our God. Is that in your Bible? They have belied the Lord.

They say that's not Him. That's not the way God is. Believe me folks, He's a God of love. He loves His children with an undying love. But there comes a day when a society, when a people cross a line and God says, even though Job and Daniel and Moses prayed, they'd only save their own soul.

Not even their families. That line is, I can't draw it for us. Couldn't believe this stupidity and the blindness. Surely these are the poor. They're foolish. For they know not the way of the Lord nor the judgment of their God.

The Lordship of God and the Religious Lie

Here's the picture. These people are going to the house of God and they're saying, Lord, Lord. They're singing about His Lordship. They're testifying they're under His Lordship. And they're telling a lie.

They're living a lie. They're going around saying, Peace, peace. There's endless peace and prosperity. They had an image of a God who they really believed that as long as there was a temple and as long as there was a holy city, it was God's city and God would never destroy it.

And God said, Oh, you are wrong. Remember, Shiloh is My house and I destroyed Shiloh. He said, You just get your Bible out. You get out the law. You get out. Moses said, You understand what I did. You don't know my nature.

You've got the wrong picture of who I am. Look at Jeremiah. He's incredulous. He can't believe what he's seeing. He's saying, Oh God, how stupid, how blind these people are testifying they're under the Lordship of Jehovah.

He said, They must be the poorest, ignorant. These are the ignorant masses out in the street. And you say, Lord, maybe... And perhaps this went through Jeremiah's mind. Lord, maybe I ought to make an allowance for all these ignorant masses.

They don't understand. All they do is sit all day long in front of their television set, watch sports, and drink beer, and eat potato chips. What to do with you, God? That's one thing. These were those who were coming to his house saying, Lord, Lord.

But he was saying, Maybe it's because they're uneducated. Maybe it's because they're so poor and they have to scrounge to make a living. He's trying to make an allowance for what he's seeing. So look what he says in the next verse, verse 5.

I will get me unto the great men. I will speak unto them, for they've known the way of the Lord. Now look here again, if you will, please. He's saying, I'm going to go to the clean, moral, this ignorant mass of people.

That's the way they're going to be. But surely, I can find what I'm looking for. I'll find honesty. I'll find that man God's looking for. I have to, and I've got to find him among those who are clean.

Prince of the people. I'll go among them to tell the world that the Lord lives. Why are they saying they are wise? Why do they testify that they know God's Word? Why all these lies? In Jeremiah 8, you don't have to turn there, but Jeremiah 8, 9 says the pen of the scribe even is written falsely.

The scribes, those who are writing the books, they were telling lies. You go to any bookstore, including the bookstores here in New York City, and you can read the biggest pack of lies ever written, and it's supposed to be in the name of God.

I'm telling you, those books are sending more people to hell by giving them false peace than anything I can imagine. More than all the drug pushers in New York City, more than all the pornographers, the Christian writers who are not preaching the holiness of Jesus Christ, are sending people to hell because they're putting them to sleep.

They're not some Holy Ghost that deserve it. God damn your soul! You can so pervert your spiritual mind! You can so cloud your eyes! Smear it over your eyes so you can't even see or know anymore. He said, even the pen of the scribes is written falsely.

He said, they're writing, peace, peace, God is love. There's no God of judgment. Don't be afraid. But the Bible, God says they're writing treachery. They're treacherous men. The Scripture said they rejected the Word of the Lord.

What wisdom is there in them? For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly saying, peace, peace, when there's no peace. All they want to do is make you feel good. I don't want to go to church where there's just a gospel of fun where you feel good.

I want God, when I go to a church, to dig down in me so if there's any hidden sin or anything else, God will dig it out by the Word. Read it again. The whole verse again. Jeremiah 5 .5 I will get me. So I'm going to go to the great men.

I'm going to find that man God's looking for there. And I'll speak unto them. For they have known the way of the Lord. Are these sinners? Is this the street crowd we're talking about? They've known the way of the Lord.

And the judgment is the law of God. They know it. What's it say? These have all together broken the yoke and burst the bonds. Look at me. Jeremiah goes to this so-called moral crowd, the church-going crowd, the people that were singing Lord, Lord.

And he was shocked. He was horrified. It was worse. It was worse than the ignorant. He said, these people, when Jesus said, take my yoke upon you. My yoke is easy. My burden is light. Burden there is bands.

It's a halter. It's a restraint. It's a restraint. Broken the yoke, he said. All together, they've broken it. Jesus said, my yoke is easy. My burden is light. Now, I want you to go to Hosea 11 and show you a very clear picture of the yoke and what God intended it to be.

Hosea. 11th chapter of Hosea. Go to Daniel and turn right. Just before Joel. Let's begin reading. Do you have it? I'm waiting for some of the Teen Challenge boys. They're just newly in the Lord. Hosea 11th chapter.

Let's read verse 1. When Israel was a child, then I loved him and called my son out of Egypt. As they called him, so they went from them. They sacrificed unto Balaam and burned incense to grave an image.

I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their arms. But they knew not that I healed them. I drew them with cords of a man with bands of love. In other words, he said the halter I put on them was a halter of love.

And I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws. And I lay meat unto them. Now, let me show you. Let me read that in the original Hebrew. Here's what it reads. And this, King James is not a good translation of that.

I'm reading from Sporel, original Hebrew. And here's what it says. I drew them with cords of a man and with bands of love. And I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws. And I gave food unto them.

He said, I was taking off the yoke of sin. But he said, I was giving them a yoke of love. Restraint of love. I did this in love. I didn't do it out of any kind of anger. Didn't do it any other reason, but these were to be bonds.

A yoke of love. Restraints of love. And that's all it means. A restraint of love. Now, God does not ever remove His yoke. Jesus said, Take My yoke upon you, learn of Me. My yoke is easy. My burden is light.

Because He can't do it because we're co-yoked to Jesus Christ. How can that yoke be broken unless you are separated from Christ? We're His fellow yokemen. We're yoked to Jesus Christ. Now, let me show you something.

When Jesus said, My yoke is easy. My burden is light. It doesn't mean that it's optional. It doesn't mean that... And by the way, do you know what the yoke is? The restraints are? These are the commandments of the Lord Jesus Christ.

This is the law of God. This is His holy Word. And God says, I have to put restraints on you or you will run wild. You'll be like a stump after wild poisonous... And I'm going to keep you in the furrow because I've got a work for you to do.

And the only way you can be happy is to have these restraints on you. Now, I want to read to you from one of the old Puritan writers. And he said, he's talking about the yoke. Now, listen closely. It's not in your Bible.

Just listen to what this old time preacher wrote. As a merciful master lifts up the yoke upon the cheeks of the oxen, that is, he pushes it far back so that the animal can eat the food in comfort. So has the Lord made the yoke of the law, which has been laid on His people, both soft and light.

He lifts it above the cheeks to make it easier by pushing it back. In other words, he said, I'm going to push it back where it's comfortable if you would yield to it. He said, I will feed you because when you're in the yoke, isn't the shepherd responsible then to feed you?

How do you feed yourself when you're in the yoke? This is the whole purpose to it. God says, I laid meat upon them. I fed them. They surrendered to the yoke. That's when He said, my yoke is easy. My burden is light.

He said, you picture Him standing between the two oxen and it's biting. They're shaking their neck. They're trying to get out of it and to make it comfortable. He doesn't remove it. He picks it up and pushes it back against the cheeks.

That's where it's comfortable with the oxen. It's comfortable with the cow. It's back there so He can chew the cud. He can eat His food. He doesn't even recognize it. He doesn't feel it then. And He can pull.

He can work in comfort and ease. He said, I'll make my yoke easy. My burden light. It's still there. It's not gone. It's not optional. He has pushed it to its comfort zone. And you must accept it willingly.

Backsliding as Resistance to the Yoke

There's a way to it. It's Hosea. Look at Hosea 11. Look, it says, and I laid meat unto them. It says, it means I gave them food. Look at me, please. Do you know that real freedom, real Christian freedom, is not breaking all the bonds.

I can take you to charismatic churches now where the pastor specializes in breaking harnesses. That's right. You can divorce all you want to without feeling condemned. Drinking wine and drinking now and going to nightclubs is called Christian liberty.

I mean, the pastor will get up and tell you the latest movies you see. There is no cry against sin from the pulpit. Because you see, that's called bondage. That's called legalism. They have all kinds of names for it.

No, there's a yoke, friends. There is a yoke. And you cannot get out of that unless you choose to get your stiff neck and shake it loose and run wild. God thinks backsliding is. You think you know what backsliding means?

You've heard of people backsliding? Backsliding has to do with getting your neck outside the yoke. Verse 16, For Israel slideth back as a backsliding heifer. Now the Lord will feed them as a lamb in a large place.

Let me read it to you in original Hebrew. For Israel slides back as a backslidden cow, and the Lord will feed them as a lamb in a wild place. Ephraim is joined to idols. Let him alone. You know what that's saying?

If you look here, he's saying, Israel, my people have become like this wild, unruly, refuses to yield to the yoke, and he stretches out his neck and he slides back out of the yoke. Backsliding is someone who had their neck to the yoke and slid.

It has to do with refusing that restraint of the Holy Ghost. Solo your strength. I can stand here right now and explain this yoke, and you know what those restraints are. But there are Christians all over this nation now, they are smarting under it and saying I don't want it, it's too hard, I don't want that kind of preaching.

We're going to have a lot of people in New York City who come and hear us one time and walk out, some of them halfway through the message. We've already had that happen. Get up inside. I was born and raised on that, that old fashioned Holy Ghost, holiness preaching, I don't want that.

That brings condemnation, that brings guilt. No, the only time it brings condemnation or guilt is when you're like a backslidden cow, like a heifer that's stubborn and won't put your neck to it and you backslide right out of it.

And you want to go to a church that's going to make you comfortable and ease so nobody touches your sin. Hey look, if you can't find one, I've got a whole list of them, I'll give you a name. I'll give you names and addresses where you can go and be very cozy.

And I'm not being facetious, and I'm not trying to be funny, it's a gospel truth. Backslidden. Back as a backsliding cow. Verse 18, Hosea 4. You still there? Their drink is what? Come and drink the living water.

So they go out, not only do they... The Lord can't feed them and they're going out after their own wild oats, you see, they're not under the yoke. The Lord said, I'll feed them like a lamb. In other words, I'll let them wander off like a lamb.

They want to go, I'll let them go. They feed as they please, they want to do as they please, but their drink is sour. They have committed war to Him continually, their rulers are shamed, do love. Alright, let's move on now.

Breaking the Bonds and Rejecting God's Restraints

Psalms 2 -3. Don't turn, but let me read it to you. Just let me read to you, Psalms 2 -3. Let us break these bonds asunder. Let us cast away all the cords from us. There you have right now what's been the marking of God's people from the very beginning of time when God chose Israel to call them out.

Oh, look at Jeremiah 2. Go back to Jeremiah. You still have your finger on Jeremiah? Go back to Jeremiah 2. I'm going to show you that from the very beginning, it's been this way. God's people have been trying to break the yoke and burst the bonds, the band, get out of the halter from the very beginning.

Jeremiah 2, verse 20. Thou saidest, I would not transgress when upon every high hill and every green tree you wandered playing the harlot. Alright, now listen closely. I'm giving you... When I say it's a poor translation, listen, I love the King James.

I preach most of that. Sometimes I preach from the New American Standard. But you see, these were taken from even pure. I mean, the very original Hebrew reads like this. Listen closely. Surely from old you have broken off the yoke.

You have withdrawn the bands. And yet you have said, I will obey when instead upon every high hill under every green tree you've prostrated yourself like a harlot. Like a prostitute. God said to Israel, ever since I called you out, He said, I picked you up.

I put you under my arms and I delivered you. But from the very beginning, all you've wanted to do is burst the bonds. You want to get out from the yoke. You don't want my burden on you. You don't want these loving restraints on you anymore.

And yet you keep saying, I want to obey you, God. When all the time you talk about obedience. You talk about my lordship. But like a prostitute you go out and sit before your idols. Prostituting me, He said.

You're not a faithful lover to Me. From the very beginning you've tried to break the yoke. You've withdrawn it. Now this is God's complaint from the very beginning even to now. And this is the problem in the church today.

It's the problem, you see it everywhere. Now I want to show you. I've got to move quickly because I want to say it all tonight. Do you know that God is still looking? He's still looking for that one who says, He's my Lord.

And He says it in righteousness. He says it not falsely. But God looks on that man or that woman who says He's Lord. They have upraised hands and God can look down and say that's the truth. There He is.

There she is. I found Him. I found her. They're not sitting in front of their idols. They're not living double standards. They're not singing one thing and living another. They are not testifying one thing and living another.

Here He is. Here she is. I found that one. And He's still looking. Look at Jeremiah 4 again. Jeremiah 4. Do you know it's possible to testify about that and be truthful? For if thou will return, O Israel, saith the Lord, return unto Me, and if you will put away your abomination out of My sight, then you shall not be removed or sent away.

Then shall thou swear the Lord liveth in truth, in judgment, and in righteousness, and the nations, that means the people, shall bless themselves in Him, and in Him shall they glory. For thus saith the Lord to the men of Judah in Jerusalem, Break up your fallow ground and sow not among thorns.

Circumcise yourself to the Lord and take away the foreskin of your heart, ye men of Judah, inhabitants of Jerusalem. Lest My fury come forth like fire and burn that none can quench it because of the evil of your doings.

Idolatry, Holiness, and the Cost of Discipleship

Now, people, I've got to get this off my heart. So just be patient with me a minute. It's flowing out so fast. Let it go slow down a minute because I want you to hear it. I get a tendency to get all excited about it.

But God is saying, if you'll get rid of your idols, and don't tell me your television set isn't an idol. Why is all the furniture facing it? Do you know that God moved on this leadership up here months and months and months ago, a long, long time ago, that we couldn't be preachers that would be anointed and have that idol in our homes?

That over $10 ,000 worth of TV sets that were willingly offered, we took them out in the woods and shot them with shotguns and buried them. That's the truth. People mocked us and said, why didn't you sell it?

We don't sell idols. We'll look you right down and we'll tell you it in love. You come here, wherever you go to church, and I say it in love because God was patient with me. And I want to be patient with you and raise what you call holy hands.

And how do you stand here and weep for the lost? And how do you say, He's my Lord? And then you go home, and you watch such filth that's incubated in hell, most of it by homosexuals. Homosexual writers.

Homosexual minds. Incubated in the very pits of hell. And you sit there, and I'm going to tell you right now, you are not even going to be saved in the end if you're sitting there watching Dallas and Dynasty and all that filth out of hell.

You're not even going to heaven. You're not even saved. You're not even saved. Because He said the saved man doesn't set any wicked thing before his eyes. The saved man doesn't live with idolatry. Not when the Holy Ghost deals with it.

Didn't He say His eyes are too holy? You say Jesus lives in you? Then He's looking out of your eyes, isn't He? Didn't He say His eyes were too pure? Aren't His eyes too pure? How do you sit before your idols?

He said, you sit before your idols, and then you come before my house and say, Lord, Lord. That's swearing falsely. That's the very thing that God is putting His finger on right here. The swearing falsely.
