The Holy Spirit - Part 11 — Keith Daniel

Encountering Christ Beyond Religion

Religion, but they needed an encounter with Christ, and then, but oh, the fruit there, the fruit of these godly men that bring me over, that have any love for this type of preaching, or place for it. I just see God raising up the examples of the believers under these godly men like Bill Gothard.

Protected Generations and Moral Decadence

These generations of young people who never went to a school, they were protected from the defilement of the government schools these days, the moral decadence from those who don't come from the home of God.

Now you see these godly, godly people and their thousands and thousands raising up with pure faces and purity and nobleness and integrity in spite of the decadence of the world. You honor men like that, you pray for them, and they'll be bringing me over, my family.

Prayers for the Preacher and His Family

Will you pray for me if God spares me? This could be my last sermon. I don't mind, dear Lord, I don't mind. Thy will not mind, but if he spares me and you, pray for me. I know I'm nothing. Don't doubt that in case you think my sharing these things tonight thinks I'm something.

I'm nothing. God took 30-something years before I dared to say how he honored the word. Just pray for this man, that God spares him, that God keeps him true to the word and in his life, and that my family may never be destroyed by the devil because I leave them alone most of their lives.

They didn't have a daddy, and I wouldn't have done that for a million dollars, but I will do it for Jesus and his calling for souls. For that reason, I come back to your land. Will you pray for this poor man who has no right to come here with anything but Jesus Christ in this book that God gave us?

So pray for me that as I come back, God will use this poor, weak, base, despised man. In case you think it's not true, just wait. God will show you that's just what I am, somewhere along the line. Don't make anything of men, okay?

Speaking About Jesus Rather Than Men

I always think if people ever talk about this man, I fail God. Do me a favor if God met you. Do me a great favor, a great honor. Just speak about Jesus. Then God won't have to throw me in the dust. Brother, commit us to Christ.

Prayerful Partnership and Perseverance

Don't forget if you want to receive a newsletter, you give a little piece of paper to this dear brother. You bring it home. Yes, we are. You can pray. You're only a prayer away. You pray on the other side of the world, God answers your prayer.

That's a wonderful communication. So pray, and I know God will honor your prayers and protect me. Now, my dear brother's going to commit us to Christ, and we're going to go to prayer in our homes. Go home tomorrow.

Daily Quiet Time and Spiritual Perseverance

God take you safely. If you never miss the quiet time, ever, until God says now you can go, then you have the right to stop the quiet time. If you never miss the quiet time, you will never backslide. The devil cannot touch the man who never misses God in the morning, in the night.

He cannot touch the man who tries. He can't, but he'll wipe you out if you miss God. He'll wipe out your testament anyway, if not your soul. Brother, you pray now for us, please. I'm going to be at the door.

I might shake one or two hands, but forgive me going now, and thank you for coming all this way, and if I come back and I meet you again, I'll be very grateful. God bless you as you pray. God bless you, Keith.

The Holy Spirit’s Power to Expose Hypocrisy

We love you. Oh, Father, you have sent a man of God our way, and you have spoke your words. He's the man. The message is in the man. And Lord, if we would look at our lives and see, has there been enough of the power of the Holy Spirit in our life to convict our own sons and daughters about their need of Jesus?

Maybe the way that they are, they're in rebellion. They're unsaved is because there's been hypocrisy in our own life. Maybe we've been unwilling, Father, to face up to the fact that the life that has been lived has not been our life in honesty, in truth, but it's been our life in pride and hypocrisy, and it's not been the Holy Spirit there.

Oh, let your word burn tonight. And Father, our commitment as we've stood, those that stood tonight to do this, is no deeper than our real love for you. And as this man goes on down the road, we ask for a special watching over him.

Supporting the Preacher and Spreading the Word

Father, have mercy upon him and his family. Provide for their needs. I know he's bared his heart to us today. And God, may we support him in prayer, and if you'd bless some of us to have funds to stick with this family.

And now, Father, I pray for your blessing on each one here, and that as they take these cassette tapes that are being offered free, and the videos back to continue to spread the word. He spoke the truth.

Repentance, Prayer, and Revival

We're in the balances. Our land, Father, we deserve to be wiped out right now. Have mercy upon us, and we pray that you'd use us, as unworthy as we are, to go out tonight saying, God, my life, take it, make it count for you.

Take out of my heart this love of the world, the pleasure, and all this vanity, and take me to my knees to spend more time in prayer, to be more concerned for the lost. My neighbors, Lord, I haven't told them about Jesus.

Whatever the area you're doing your work in tonight, I pray, Father, that you'd continue on, that you'd really start a revival in my heart and our hearts. And bless this man, and bless his family. Thank you for sending him to us.

Watch over us now as we go home, back to our ways. We thank you in Jesus' name. Amen. God bless you. You're dismissed. There's restrooms over there on the next building. If you need help, you need to pray, you come on up.
