We Need God (Voice) — Compilations

The Conviction of Sin and the Urgency of Eternity

Phinny could go to a town and not make an altar call for the first 28 nights. He didn't say come on. Come on. Come on right out go home and have a sleepless night. You know why they had two or three sleepless nights.

So they wouldn't have a million sleepless nights in hell, that's right. It disturbed their consciences he disturbed their memories. He made them realize that God is a holy just God and nobody's gonna bribe him and I believe God is holding back.

Crying Out for the Fire of God

Until like that thing David wrote this morning. Well, I can't live another day without the fire of God. You need the fire of God to pray. You need the fire of God to see visions. You need the fire of God to recognize.

There's no help for us. I don't a cry as I've done so long. Like David in Psalm 80 all thou that dwellest between the chair of him's Lord don't stay there come down here. We need God here. Does it matter if it breaks your heart today?

Preparing for the Judgment Seat

You can have a million millenniums in eternity. There'll be no sorrow there. You can't patch up your prayer life when you get to the judgment seat. You can't sacrifice when you get to the judgment seat.

You can't weep when you get to the judgment seat. It's all between here and there. This period we're in now is a dressing room for eternity. That's all it is. It's not to get more knowledge. We have enough knowledge.

You need God this morning. I need God this morning. Some of you disobeyed God all the week and this is the day the value of decision. You'll go back more after today than have you done in your life unless you obey God.

Breaking Free from Church Theology

Most of our preachers need to get free from your domination. You've got a church. What do you head you meet God? No, you meet your church's theology. You meet your church's doctrine. How often do you go and come out breathing gasping.

God the Holy Ghost is that meeting and I'm absolutely shaken to my feet. We don't do that. We'll have to do it. We will do it because God has a controversy with our generation. What happened on the 24th of May?

John Wesley's Transforming Encounter

In 1738 you don't remember 24th of May 1738 about a quarter to nine. John Wesley says in his diary. My heart was strangely warm. That was the first move of God in his life. He didn't stop there. He read the Word of God.

He said there's something more than a warm heart. I don't want a warm heart. I want to a heart on fire and. So he preached the entire sanctification the very God of peace sanctify you holy. Listen, you can give Jesus a lot of joy this morning for the simple reason.

He's coming for a bride. He's not coming for a widow. He's not coming for the church in its lousy condition, which is poor and wretched and naked and blind. I don't care how ever rich it is. I don't care how Popular it is.

It is not the true church. The true church is a minority within a minority. It's people who walk in purity. It's people who love God with all their hearts soul mind and strength and when we get there We'll prepare the way for the bride to come.

So John Wesley at 20 foot the record down. Somebody's reading a introduction. Just the introduction of Martin of Martin Luther's. What's called exposition on Romans? He hasn't even got into Romans. He's reading the exposition and suddenly Wesley feels this transforming power.

My heart was strangely warm. He's loaded with scholarship. He wrote four dictionaries in four different languages. He's one of the most gifted men on earth. He's high up in the scale. Everybody in the church in Church of England says we've got Wesley and his brother.

We're going to shake the world. Well, they shook the world but not by being again in the Church of England. The Lord whom you seek Shall suddenly come to his temple and that's how he came to Wesley. He came and he gets put the date down the 24th of May 1738 about a quarter nine did not happen.

Wesley's Hunger for a Heart on Fire

He got up and came to a country called America. He heard about the Indians and the need. He got off the boat in Georgia walked into a forest. Went to sleep. He was tied out woke up in the morning frozen to the ground.

He couldn't get his arms up. So he pulls one arm out then he pulls the other arm out and then he gets one leg free then he gets the other leg free. Okay. But this is what he said Lord. I want to be on fire.

The Holy Fire of Consecrated Love

Listen, I'm gonna ask this. I don't care whether we go through the meeting or not. Why is it that fire is so attractive? Listen to Charles Wesley and John Wesley singing a hymn together. All thou who came us from above the pure celestial fire to impart.

Kindle a flame of sacred love on the mean altar of my heart there let it for thy glory burn with inextinguishable praise and Trembling to its source return with constant prayer and fervent praise praise.

Jesus confirm my heart's desire to work and speak and think for thee. Still let me guard the holy fire. He got a new baptism of fire and if you don't keep fire going it goes out. He says still let me guard the holy fire and still stir up thy gift in me.

Ready for all thy glorious will thine acts of faith and love repeat till death thine endless mercy seal and make the sacrifice complete. Then he says this awesome thing enlarge in flame and fill my heart with boundless charity divine.

So shall I all my strength exert and love them with a zeal like thine and turn them into a pardoning God. You see he's not asking for a theological definition. He says I want a fire. Listen if our God is a consuming fire and he is if he takes a residence in you you burn to the dying.

God won't die in you. And all he's asking you this money is to let the walls down let the fire in. You know that awesome. That a man with such a colossal intellect my background he said day by day enlarge and Fill my heart with boundless charity divine.

I Can't live in coldness anymore. I Can't live in blindness anymore. I Can't be indifferent to a dying world. Every preacher who has lost the fire you should be on your face down here. You used to burn but you got so busy with organizing the fire has gone out.

Repentance in the Valley of Decision

Come on. I Believe God's gonna breathe on us this morning. I Believe you're going from this place. I Believe you're gonna have to say I'm in the valley of decision. Remember again the word of Jesus. I would that you are either hot or cold.

So because you're neither hot or cold I'll spew out of my mouth. God isn't gonna beg at your door. He's been begging all week. He's not gonna keep knocking knocking knocking. It's merciful. He knocks this morning.

Say God Consuming me everything that's on Christ like Consuming me everything which hinders. Like dear David says in that in that wonderful poem there consume me Todd. That's good, okay, thank you, but it's something you said yes, they kicked me off on this.

Responding to the Holy Spirit

Come on now, let's Join these people rose kneel where you are and you cry to God. What should we do? What shall I do? You've been repenting during the week. This is a day to receive. He's coming in now.

He's coming in with vision. He's coming in with power. He's coming in with revelation. God is brooding over us. Don't insult the Holy Ghost. Yes father come come afresh. Let me remind you right here as we're bowing in prayer.

The Invitation to Come and Receive

For many of you you'll be going home tomorrow. So this is the last day of the feast and it was the last day of the feast. Jesus said if any man will come he stood at the door in revelation said if any man will come.

I don't care how backslidden you are how disobedient you are. There's enough fire in the Holy Ghost to burn up every bit of dross in you. Every bit of unbelief every bit of failure every bit of coldness.

God wants to put that fire right now. Say God come in fire on me not on vineyard, but on me. Not on John Wimber or Jack or Todd, but me. God needs a torch of holy fire in your house. He wants a fire in you to read the Word of God to your family.

He wants the fire of God. Your neighbors will know this church is turning the corner this week. We know that. It's having a new birth. It's not a good bit. It's not going to be like the vineyard of last year or last week.

Every man that stands that will have an anointing. I've claimed this from God. I'm sick of theology and words. We need God to move in our midst. Like he moved in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks.

What does it matter? Surrender everything. Either stand up and raise your hands and say Lord. I surrender everything. I'll get down and kneel there and believe God. Wonderful Glory to God. Thank you father.

Thanksgiving for Redemption and Freedom

Yes Father we bow before your throne tonight. Recognizing the as a high and lofty one who inhabits of eternity whose name is holy Lord we thank you. We thank you tonight that when you were a far off without God without hope outside of the camp.

When there was no eye to pity us your eye pitied us. When there was no no arm long enough to reach us or to lift us your arm lifted us. Not we strung it so often out of my bondage sorrow and night. Jesus.

I can. We thank you found as a slaves and you set us free. You found us dead, but you gave us life. You found us in darkness, but you gave us light. You found us hopeless. Entangled in the machinations of sin deep some of us some drunken here some that were once deep in drugs.

Some in prison. The Lord we thank you came to set the captive free. Whether he's a dignified bishop. Whether he's a colossal intellect or an ignoramus. We thank you Lord Jesus you stretched it in that fun.

Fantastic measureless were that wholesoever will may come. Lord we believe tonight in about a thousand tongues around the world. Somebody's telling the story of redeeming grace. We thank you for everybody who's been born of the Spirit this one day.

They pass from darkness to light. From the power of Satan unto God that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance along them that are sanctified. Love that we thank you Lord it means now to belong to Christ the hill of Zion.

Yields a thousand sacred sweets before we reach the heavenly fields or walk the golden streets. Lord we bless you. We've sung it often to here. I'm not ashamed to own my Lord not to defend his cause. In a world that's crumbling.

We thank you that we are on the solid rock. There's no dynamites or atom bomb can blast the rock of ages. We thank you there's nothing that can hinder the coming of your kingdom. We bless you you're not coming for a weekend, and we're not going to the kingdom for a weekend we're going to reign with him forever and ever the king of kings and the Lord of Lords and The government shall be upon his shoulders.

He's going to rule the world in righteousness in holiness in justice. God what a world to live in where there's no crime. No misery. No uncleanness. No sin. No diseases. We thank you that in him Christ the tribes of Adam boasts more blessings than their fathers lost.

And we thank you we do have an inheritance among them that are sanctified by faith it is in Jesus Christ. We thank you for your holy word. We thank you as we read today. Holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

The Holy Spirit's Inspiration of Scripture

We know it's not a fabrication. It's not a Shakespeare that wrote it. It was written by the Holy Spirit of God at the hands of like the herdsman of Tikur a poor man a farmer at the hand of King David at the hand of Isaiah who had such fantastic revelations of the glory of God.

Had a preview of the atoning work of Jesus in that wonderful chapter in Isaiah. Lord tonight. Lots of people would feel so uncomfortable here feel we're crazy. Well Lord if they're saying we don't want to be anyhow.

Their values are wrong. They've no hope they're without God. They have no horizon in eternity. But Lord again, we bless your holy name. Thank you for everybody who's ever helped us. Sunday school teachers parents that have influenced our lives hymns and books.

Prayer for the Church and the Nations

We pray for all who have been in this prayer meeting from the first time over there in Brown's house. People are still right. Do you go to Brown's prayer meeting? We thank you that you've birthed it there and Then it's come here.

We pray that you'll continue Lord. We cannot do we ask you to pour blessing. We ask you to take us deeper deeper deeper in the love of Jesus deeper in the wisdom of Jesus deeper in the authority of Jesus deeper in the revelation of Jesus.

Lord get us out of water to the ankles. Get us waters to the knees and then to the loins and then waters to swim in. Lord we knowing who we believe tonight. There's no despair in the gospel. He's able to save to the uttermost.

It says in Hebrews to the uttermost all who come unto God if they've sinned enough to damn a hundred people. He still accept them. If they come with the deepest of pollution and the vileness we thank you there's no heart you cannot purify.

There's no will you can't put into subjection to yourself if we're willing. We will pray again tonight this dear lady said in the letter. I've never Heard of others praying for those in not just the heathen, but those in slave camps in Russia.

Or in Afghanistan or in China or in Albania. Lord we sang All lights that follow us all my way. Lord I think tonight of millions who are in darkness. Why are they in darkness? Our light hasn't shone there yet Lord.

I pray do something as I prayed last Friday night bring something to birth in this meeting whether we see it or not. Because you're a faithful covenant-keeping God. So Lord we come to your holy word and ask you to bless it.

Give us ears to hear what the Spirit says not what I say what the Spirit is saying. And then give us a grace of obedience in Jesus name. Thank you be seated.
