He went to all that trouble on another taste, another drink, another experience, there's a crossword puzzle, it's no good, purpose god has for us is fulfilled between the time when we came into this world, not of our choice, and the time when we leave it, not of our choice, we shall spend that time early in the morning, the sun is singing, and that this is the day of presumption, even in religious circles, instead of faith, you sought the lord, until you got acquainted with him, until he's not just a name, or a doctrine, presumption, people presume that it's all right, since I might not see you tonight, and since I do not control tomorrow, and since through the this is brother Riesinger, I'm your guest, and his guest here, and there's a brother man, here at the judgment, maybe the next time I see you, but I'll dead sure see you there, come to press upon you this simple question, in a day, rectify, seeking, oh god, transformation, through a lot of praise, come and accept it, this generation of church people, in their own decisions, instead of a reveal, I urge you Mr. Sage, members have accepted the proposition, come of enough importance to you, to come into a vital touch with, and an experience of the living god, until he speaks, if I believe, that he didn't speak peace to people now, I'm never preaching him, here in the days of his flesh, he'd say peace be unto you, wouldn't he, he would say, if he's alive today, for the seeking soul, he can still say, and thank god he will still say, Mr. Sage, in the after meetings, many, went away stating, that they had been comforted, you and the faith not willing, the trust not willing, turn no welfare, into the keeping of Jesus Christ, soul of god almighty, listen to me, I'm not willing for mama, to decide I'm a Christian, to live in Christmases, to give me assurance, to give me the consciousness, my sins are forgiven, and I want him, to give me peace, I give to you this morning, you're thrice a fool, if you spend the days, of your sojourn on earth, for the second hand religion, in god's names, until he, seek the lord, until he speaks to you, seek the lord, until he comforts you, until he grants you, the consciousness, your sins, there's a marriage, between you, and I come, to ask this simple question, eternity bound, human being, the lord, you're going to hell, he's not here in the flesh, he's not in a place, he's not there, in the name of god, if that's so, there's one individual, looking at you, that'll never stop seeking, until he finds out for himself, Christ is alive, if that's so, that's the greatest thing on earth, if Jesus is alive brother, I'm not going to take my word for that, I'm going to seek the lord, desire, if that makes so, what my little eye believes, that's what I think god shows us, if god believes, anybody ever found, the object, of your supremest choice, will the divine, redeem heaven, and miss hell, thinking in fine style, religion search, will the living, within his living body, of the cross, god will say, in the day thou shalt seek me, with all thy heart, Christ leaders now, devout missionaries, happening in Japan today, professing Christians of Japan, for the large most part, they profess except Jesus, but they continue their Shinto worship, to understand, from the death blow, to emperor worship, and now emperor worship, tremendous revival in Japan, and the professing Christians of Japan, will look you in the face, now we're told, by the men of that hill, and they'll say, Jesus, is our savior, and the emperor, is our lord, by men who ministered, in China and Japan, that's the most, polite people on earth, and if you go over there, and ask them to accept your Jesus, they wouldn't think of turning you down, and they'll accept him, and put him up on the shelf, with the rest of their gods, the god who said, I am the lord, there's none other, and a man can't have two gods, at the same time, I look you in the face, you're living in the day of, greatest all out search, for the blessings of things, and the security of things, the greatest revival of religion, the world's ever known about, but not a revival, of men's feet, and experience, I'm telling you folks, if you want to really know him, and the only way to have eternal life, is to know him, for that's what eternal life is, I urge you, to dig in, phase in the way, and your little church membership away, and your nice little New Year's resolutions away, title union, with the object of supreme desire, I seek him, supreme desire, he's just not going to put up, with you making him a fifth rate god, he'll be lord of all, convene that religion, up to him, in the lord Jesus Christ, solemn ground, and I pass over it, because it's a solemn, and too deep for me, and gentlemen, and Sunday school teachers, and churches, unless something can happen in our churches, really God, that's what the word sovereign means, we'll never know what it means, to see people seeking, to come to a place, where they can actually worship God, until God's faith back on the throne, for there is no worship, in any other atmosphere, and there is no seeking, unless God, do it as he pleases, there's no reason to seek him, unless we're in his hands, there's no reason to seek him, unless he controls our destiny, there's no reason to seek him, we'd work it out ourselves, but if we are the dust, then he, what we do with Christ, is ten million times more important, than what he does with us, the only safe place to seek the lord, that I know anything about, is as a pauper, bankrupt, utterly prostrate, before his throne, saying lord, make me whole, I don't expect you to do that, for sixty years in America, put a coat of veneer, on the ugliness, of the rebellion in our hearts, we've been taught, that we are somebody come, and I don't expect, you've got time, or inclination, to take the place, of a humble, pauper beggar, in the throne of God, just saying lord, I'm on your hands, don't do it, you're going to go to hell, do it in my name, Rothbard, you're going to come down, off your high horse, step before his throne, bargaining with God, step on the mercy, of the court of heaven, for the crumbs, that fall, from the children's taste, to be saved, seek the lord, seek him, in the appointed way, seek him, in and out, of his throne, listen to Rothbard, just a minute, remember, you will not come, into your heart and life, except on the merits, of the blood of Christ, in God's name, don't go to hell, trusting a fact, in God's name, don't call yourself saved, because you say, believe Jesus died for you, you want to get him, to live in contact, with the living Christ, I'll tell you where he is, he's sitting on the throne, sitting on the throne, he's sitting on that throne, in virtue of his shed blood, if you want to have, any vital union, with Jesus Christ, you will not do like, this generation, ignore the lordship, of Christ, he's sitting on the throne, willing for him, to have the throne rights, of your life, you can't know him, seek the lord, seek him, blood, seek him, until, but he didn't trust the altar, he trusted God, by way of, the blood of Jesus Christ, until there is a conscious, you know about it, union, of peace, fundamental, better watch out, to know a fact, if you don't watch out, thank God, salvation isn't in a doctrine, salvation isn't in a fact, salvation is in a living Christ, where shall I find him, seek him, pleading nothing, but the merits of his blood, seek him at his throne, prostrate at his feet, seek him, say lord, I surrender, all the merits, therefore I'm going to take it there, evangelist, part time teacher, down in North Carolina, I drive at night, the whole meetings, and they arrange, for some of the students, usually to drive, to save the body, and one night, a boy by the name of Roger Merritt, drove me to my appointment, that night, and we bought separate cars, and he got into mine, and drove it, and had the service, and drove back 50, 60 miles, and as we got out of the car, he slid out from under the seat, with the wheels, and turned my car back to me, and getting his, and he slipped me a little bill, of money, and he said, brother Barton, my wife and I have been saving, for some time, I want to make you a gift, I had some project, I forget what it was, and he knew about it, and I just stuck it in my pocket, he was a boy, that was going to school, on the GI bill, had a wife, and four children, selling shoes, at night, and Saturday, and living on the GI bill, to go to school, so I'd become a preacher, and he didn't have much money, so I thought, I bet you he'd have been saved, by sixth month, might be five dollars, and I didn't even look at it, and I went on home, and I was undressing, for the night, and I happened to, start to pull my coat off, and I, some way or another, ran my hand down my pocket, and there was that bill, and I took it out, and looked at it, and it was a hundred dollar bill, and it scared me, and I said, my soul, that boy, where did he get that, he must have robbed a bank, and he made a mistake, and I went to the phone, and called him, and I said, Roger, you know what you did, and he said, what did I say, you know how much that bill was, you gave me, and he said, yes, I said, well, do you know it was a hundred dollar bill, he said, sure, I said, we've been saving for months, I said, well, you, you've made a mistake, you haven't got that kind of money, I'm going to bring it back to you, he said, you wouldn't insult us, would you, he said, we've, we've got so much joy out of saving it, I want you to have it, he said, we love you, we love you, you'd understand it, bringing somebody to Christ, you had, they love you, when he decided to be a preacher, he revealed, I'm not going to take it, I'm not going to go through all this, going to school business, he wouldn't let him read the Bible, wouldn't let him have family altar, nothing, oh, it was pretty bad in the home, and I went to his community, and held a meeting, she came here one night, and she got mad at me, she said, I don't go back to that school anymore, but she did, and God saved her, we've got a family altar now, and we've got to read the Bible, and we've got heaven in our home, he said, we love you, he said, you know my mother, he said, you know what happened to her, he said, she died, he said, don't make me mad, he said, we love you, his mother, in her 70's, she'd been a charter member, of that church, where I'd preached in 40 odd years, and one night, I preached, and I said to somebody, I had trouble, you need help, you want prayer, lift your hand, oh, mother Mary, my mother lifted her hand, and we sang an imitation song, mother Mary, she walked down, got up, got right down there, and knelt, at that pew, at 12, the service was over, somebody walked up to her, but she said, no, nobody can help me, second night, she did the same thing, I'll have you understand, she was the Christian, of that congregation, everybody looked up to her, blessed woman, and for the third night, my soul, no small controversy, everywhere, they said, that fool preached, he got, Miss Mary, said, there's a Christian around, yes, she's there, she said, he can't be preaching the truth, that she wouldn't be disturbed, and, but she just kept coming, night after night, she lifted her hand, I'm in trouble, and then, there she'd come, she'd get down there, please, you understand, you're not saved by praying, but you're not saved, apart from praying, it's the hard cry, of a sinner to the Lord, and, oh, my, she got in the crowd, there's coming, here's that fool preacher, that got, mother Mary, disturbed, you know, I, I couldn't disturb anybody, but God was, God was, and one night, I, I told, maybe I could help, and I knelt down by her, and I said, mother Mary, can any of us, be of any service, and she said, no preacher, this is something, I've got to wrestle through, said, I've been trying to serve the Lord, for over 50 years, I've never known, a minute, of the peace of God, said, leave me alone, he speaks peace, and he's never spoken it to me, and you preach, that, there is peace, my peace, I give unto you, and I've never had it, said, I'm going to get in touch with him, if he speaks peace, I'm going to seek him, till he speaks peace to me, I remember, the thing went on, Sunday morning came, they asked me to speak, in Sunday school, and I went out, a little early, and, I got out of my car, and down the steps, in the front of the building, came mother Mary, she was German, she had silver, white hair, beautiful, pink, red nose, and almost, red cheeks, beautiful, she came walking to me, like a 16 year old, with a 70 year old body, came up to me, and stood, like a soldier, to tension, in a crisp, German accent, she said, brother, at exactly, eight o 'clock, whilst I was washing, the breakfast dishes, the living Lord, peace, to my soul, still in that business, he turned at his, bowed, boys and girls, and men and women, in the eye, and in the face, from time to time, to move from one place, to another, if I could ask them, any one thing, I'd enjoin them, I'd scold them, I'd beg them, I'd plead with them, till, it'd been our gracious, privilege, to minister, to these dear people, we thank you, for this delightful visit, for the kindness, of the prayer, for the joy, of the Lord, this opportunity, we beg, that the Holy Ghost, have been obeyed, for the benediction, I do not know, what your custom is, it didn't make any difference, we be brethren, do you know, what I've been preaching about, this morning, how many could lift their hand, and say, praise the Lord, the peace of God, through Jesus Christ, would you just like to do it, I wonder how, if you could, lift your hand, and then just say, praise the Lord, our troubled soul, here, while heads are bowed, I'd like a prayer, to be made, for you, there, as you sit there, could this be, the service, where you'll begin, an all out, become acquainted, with, and experience, the power, of an endless life, an opportunity, to indicate, to me, the Lord already knows, cause he can see your heart, that somebody else says, I need the Lord, I need to seek him, until he's real, to me, until he does, for me, what only, God can do, for sinners, prayer made for me, with Terry, just a moment, to give any such, an opportunity, to make that express, that indication, would you quietly, lift your hand, if there be such, like that, and then put it down, going away, to have an opportunity, of making some sort, of move, some sort, of response, that the Holy Ghost, has been blessed, and gracious enough, the living God, in Christ, with his desire, who has to give it, you know, in living contact, with, the living God, the God, who was in Christ, reconciling, this whole world, himself, is that a hand lifted, stand for the benediction, I know you're cursed, to stand at the front, if you wish, I don't know, maybe, supposed to go back to back, with the rest of them, like, it's been a joy, to be here, amen, the Holy Ghost, to be over people, seen it good, in your sight, we ask in Christ,.
