You Can't Resist the Holy Ghost and Get By — Rolfe Barnard

The Second Coming and the Message of the Campaign

I'm speaking the only message of the campaign on the second coming of the Lord. The signs of his coming, what the scripture teaches, what we believe it teaches, and the subject will be why I pray that the Lord will return in my lifetime.

I don't know whether he will or not. I couldn't tell you that he will. But I sure know from some study of the word of God about what's going to happen when he comes and what can't happen until he does come.

I sure pray he'll come while I'm alive. Then Saturday night, we want the greatest service if we can, be in the will of the Lord as far as crowds. The weekend comes, we'll need all of these seats. And people will come as they do anyhow, and sit in the cars that tomorrow has to, we believe, over this weekend.

And we're preaching our message on revelations of an ex-chaplain. A message that I want a great hearing for if God will be pleased to honor that desire. I want G .I .s to hear, and especially I want every Christian to do what you can to get a G .I. to hear that special message.

And then Sunday night, the 830 o 'clock hour, is to bring in the best message God has ever been pleased to give us. The only message that we preach in every campaign, the message that God has used to bring so many to the Lord, the subject will be the God of the Bible, kills people where they kill you.

God's Holiness and Humanity's Sin

You know, this generation has built them a little God. The truth themselves and the holy character of the Bible, God, is well not unknown. This generation knew what kind of a person God would be. This generation would be afraid to flaunt their sinfulness in his holy nostrils.

Now, God never set out to save everybody. Before the foundation of the world, God looked down and saw everybody that he, by the use of his means, could make willing to be saved on his terms. And he's going to save those people.

But even God, using the means at his disposal, can't save everybody because they're not willing to be saved from their sins. And God Almighty is going to do the job he started out to do. I'm glad for that.

I'm certainly glad for that. You know, just a few people are going to be saved. Do you believe that? Jesus said so. We didn't come to Nashville to test him, but everybody in town would like our message.

I do not believe any man can preach the truth now and get great pride. I don't try to get great pride. We want to get everybody who can. But most people will just worship a God that will let them live like the devil and not bother them.

And most people want a Jesus that will not interfere with their own way of living. And this generation's got to be challenged, brother. And God's going to accomplish his purposes through preachers and churches that stay true to the books and the souls of men and press the responsibilities upon men, hold them up before his character and his holiness, and shut them up the best we can to the Lord Jesus Christ.

The day I received the many phone calls, I rejoiced in them. Hardly any rest because the phone's ringing, but we thank God it rings that way. And I say to you, my friends, that of course, after a little over a week of hard preaching four times a day and under the tent, you can put it down that not everybody in Massachusetts is happy about preaching.

But God is saving sinners. They're being saved now as they listen to the radio. And we are grateful for it. A little woman came to me tonight after I got to the tent and said, God saved me last night.

She said, I never knew a person could be as happy as I am today. And she said, my husband will be here tomorrow night, Saturday night and Sunday night, and I want to see him saved too. And then a woman said that last night she came to study and her pastor was able to help her.

Now, of course, no God-called pastor will heal the wounds of a sinner slightly. We're not here to make people where they don't have any burdens and to settle all their problems. We're not here to fix it so you can just rest your arms and coast, brother.

I want Christians to be knee-deep in trouble all the time, fighting the devil and resisting sin. But I do maintain that it's the Christian's privilege to have peace of heart while you're in that battle.

While the darts are flying from every direction, the child of God can have a peace that the world cannot give. And thank God it cannot take away. Now, it's praying time, and that's just folks. And we ask all of you to keep on praying and witnessing.

Revival Requires Prayer and Perseverance

And we know, now I got this much sense. I know that unsaved men and women, the first thing they do when they're challenged is to run. I did, and you did too. And I know that's so. And I know, unless this generation sees some more real agonizing at the throne of God and prayer, that we haven't got a bit of a chance for revival in your day and mine.

Now, we just will face that. We cannot be spectators and have God give revival. He's not going to wish revival upon us. But people are being challenged, and some are praying, and some are being saved.

And the devil is fighting. We're bucking all of the little league baseball and everything else. The picture shows, and the sinfulness of men and the work of the devil. But thank God, if you keep on praying.

Nearly where I go, I drive my first crowd away. And then we're praying, preaching back, and then a lot of them go to get saved. Did you know that? There's never been a revival any other way. You can't have revival and keep the devil in a good unit.

Sister, you keep on praying, will you? Just keep on praying. I want to see sinners crying out to God. And I thank God for the victory last night. Now, tonight, why can you revel? Well, why you can revel in booze and lust?

Some of you know that God rejects Jesus as Lord, rejects the strivings and wooings of the Holy Spirit. Why can you do all of that and not be cut off at once by a holy God and sent to hell? My friends, I'm not a pessimist.

A pessimist is a person, an optimist, somebody says, is a person that's just got one eye open. And a pessimist is a fellow that's just got any eyes open. But I'm not a pessimist, nor am I an optimist.

I try to be a realist. But ladies and gentlemen, there never was a time when this world of sinners had as much light from Almighty God about his character and his will and his provisions of grace and mercy as today.

And sin is measured in terms of life. My friends, listen, if that be true, and it is, every progression of knowledge and life brings responsibility. And when men sin against what they know to be wrong, to be right, their responsibility is great.

There isn't a man or a woman in the city of Natchez hardly that isn't doing, isn't sinning against what he knows to be right. This generation of unsaved men and women weren't born in ignorance or in heathenism.

They were born in America, in the shadow of gospel churches. Now God hasn't got a big preacher on the horizon today. There isn't a living preacher on the face of the earth that can get a crowd to hear him preach.

That's so. But God's got hundreds and thousands of little peanut preachers, just little one-gallon preachers, that are preaching the truth as it is in the Bible, as it is in Christ Jesus. This is not the day when God's doing big things.

This is the day when he's not using one man, but he's using hundreds of little men. This is the day not when he's got a John Wesley or a D .L. Moody or a George Whitefield or a Sam Jones or a George Finney.

This is the day when he's got hundreds of little preachers and churches that are standing on the street corner crying aloud, causing the people to hear about that transgression, calling people to mourn and to wail their sins and afflict themselves and plow up the sour ground in their hearts and, as the scriptures say, convert themselves.

The scripture says, The sinner saves thyself. There is a responsibility upon the part of the sinner. The old-time preachers used to say that man's not on trial, he's on probation. Sometimes, if you do not use that word probation in its right sense, it might give the wrong impression.

But rightly used, the old-time preachers said that that simply meant that man's not on trial, he's already tried, but he is on probation. God is letting him have some time to see whether or not that man, in all its faculties, in possession of his willpower, his brain and his heart, hearing the truth, getting light from God, to see whether man will apply himself to repentance of sin toward God, to faith in Jesus Christ, and to perseverance in holy living.

Probation. But men and women increasingly today, instead of spending their time seeking God, are spending their time seeking pleasure. This is a day when men revel in everything imaginable to satisfy the desires of their bodies and of their minds and of their sinful hearts.

Be captured on the life of most people today is eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die and the devil notwithstanding, to the contrary, we've just got one life to live and we're going to have a good time in this life while we have it to live.

Never in the history of the world was so much booze being drunk, so much lust being indulged in, so many people gone plumb, slap-dab crazy over some kind of silly pleasure. This is a day when this old world has the Saturday night carnival spirit.

Nobody ever stays at home at night. They're out going somewhere. They're too tired to go to church, but they've got to go somewhere to have a good time. This is a day of eat, drink, and be merry, and yet almighty God doesn't take this pleasure-mad world and cut it off and send it to hell now.

God's Judgment and the Lordship of Christ

Tonight we want to ask if we can in the Bible, why? This is a day when people plumb their noses at a holy God. In Galatians chapter 6 and verse 7, I think the verse is verse 7, the word says, Now that expression, God is not mocked, the Greek on it is be not deceived.

Don't plumb your nose at God. Don't plumb your nose at God. And yet that's what people do today. Let a preacher begin to draw the line and let him preach that the gospel is not less holy than the law of God.

And let him preach that God's Son didn't come down here to die so that men could do as they pleased, but he came down here to die so that men are unable to, and yet blamable because they do not, unable to please God because of their heart emitted to him in his holy law.

Jesus Christ came and endured the penalty that was our just due and the power of the Holy Spirit. No man's saved unless he's got the Spirit. The power of the Holy Spirit gives us that which God requires and we have not been able to perform, gives us the ability to live as God would have us live and to please him in our daily walk.

And yet this is a day when men and women lawlessly cry, away with all restraint, and we'll show to the wind, and we'll not hear anybody that tells us. If we show to the wind, we'll reap with the whirlwind.

If we show to the fish, we'll reap with the fish corruption. And men, somebody knows this, had a holy God and God doesn't cut them off and send them to hell. Why doesn't he? Why doesn't he? This is the day, superbly the day, preeminently the day of rejection of Jesus as Lord.

My preacher brethren, you hear me? I'll get out on my back here and let you walk over me if you want to, if it'll help you to preach as we ought to preach. And I remind you that for nearly two generations we've lost the Jesus of the Bible and we've preached the mutilated Jesus and it could happen to Jesus and we've left out the fact that Jesus was declared by the resurrection to be Lord as well as Savior and that the Lordship of Jesus Christ cannot be ignored by men and women and get to heaven when they die.

I thank God I had the privilege of going to Southwestern Sea Life Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas. Dr. Duffy T. Conner, he's now gone to glory, was the teacher of systematic theology and he used to drill us young preachers in the doctrine.

He taught us what election means. He taught us predestination. He taught us adoption. He taught us justification. He taught us regeneration. He taught us sanctification. He taught us glorification. He taught us the doctrine of the fall.

He taught us the doctrine of the cross. He taught us all the great doctrines of the Word of God and he used to ring the changes on the fact that God Almighty demands as a condition to salvation upon the part of the sinner repentance toward God.

And he said repentance toward God means that the love of sin must die in a man's soul and that when the love of sin has died the sinner must turn his heart absolutely and really, no sham and no make-believe.

He must renounce it and repudiate it and forsake it and turn from it, all of it, in spite of God for delivering from it power. And then he said the other condition that God Almighty requires of sinful men is absolute saving faith.

And he said what is true is what I wish would be sounded from every pulpit in America for the next era, that saving faith means surrender to Jesus Christ as Lord and trust in his atoning work as Savior.

And I say to you that the Lordship of Jesus Christ is the doorway to the kingdom of God in spiritual salvation and there is no other. God Almighty requires a heart's devotion to Jesus as Lord and a mouth's confession of him as such.

And he'll save nobody who tries to get into the kingdom by denying the Lordship of Christ in his life. Now everybody wants a Savior. Everybody wants a Savior. You can go to jail and you can preach a half-gospel and present the Savior and all the folks are anxious to have a Savior.

But they say, don't any of them want a Lord? Don't any of them want a Lord? But I tell you, you can't have my Jesus as Savior if you deny him his place as the absolute King and Lord and Master and Ruler of your life.

Did G. Campbell Morgan send young preachers? Start at the beginning and preach the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Since I've been in this town over the radio and here I've been preaching repentance, repentance, look, towards the Lordship of Jesus Christ.

No man can have my Jesus as Savior until he mourns in his heart and renounces and repudiates the fact that he has placed hell where Jesus demands that he alone shall be. Jesus must reign. He's going to reign in this whole world.

Some of these days we'll hear Friday night. But he's going to reign in your heart if he's Savior. I believe in salvation by grace, but not salvation by disgrace. I believe in Romans 5 .21 that where I send it rain, grace doth now reign, but not apart from righteousness.

Grace reigns through righteousness. That means that salvation by grace is not something that God accomplishes and makes possible for you and does away with as righteous a man, but it means that God Almighty conquers your rebellion and establishes a motive power in your soul that makes you want to do right before he puts up the white flag of peace and forgives you of your sins and constitutes you a citizen or a member of his eternal kingdom.

This is the day of the redemption of the Lord Jesus Christ. He's got a right to reign. He's got a right to reign. He ought to reign. Oh, and yet he doesn't. Still the cry of this generation is we will not have this man to reign over us.

And the tragedy of this hour is this is a day when people, if their preacher insists that Christianity means submission, that Jesus is absolute Lord and Savior, why, they'll just quit teaching and go to a church that's got a preacher that will let them do as they please all week and come in at different holy hands on the Lord's day and proclaim the holy people of God and call it Christianity.

But Ralph Barnard doesn't know much. I don't know much. Their preacher knows everything about the Bible. He's a dead duck. I want to learn. I study like a dog. I want to preach the truth. I wouldn't go up and down this country if these meetings get hard.

I tell you, they kill me. My wrists are blue. I want to die. And I just can't stand it in my strength. And I have to go to the book of Revelation and go over there and find out that poor blood that's going to gather a bunch of people redeemed out of every kindred and tongue and nation.

And I dip my hands in some of the blood of my Lord and I put it on my heart and my lips and my eyes and my tiny body and I throw some of it at the devil and get him to spit out a bit of juice in his face again and get him to go on back to hell.

I'm going to keep on preaching. I'm going to keep on preaching for I've got to stand before God at the judgment. And I want to preach as a dying man to dying men. I haven't got any time to pat people on the head.

Oh, my friends, everybody I have preached to needs to get down to the business of wholehearted loving obedience to Christ or needs to surrender him and be saved. That's right, folks. That's right. I don't know the hearts of people.

I'm not God Almighty. But I tell you that this generation denies my Jesus the place He demands. He demands absolute Lordship in your lives. My heart breaks within me. People say, I don't think there's anything wrong with this.

Nobody asked you. Nobody asked me. Jesus must reign. You must bring every thought into captivity to Him. You must let Him control you. He'll be Lord of all or I insist He will not be Lord of all. I saw in a meeting where God was blessing and all hell was fine in my home city of Western Salem a big worldly Baptist church was being shopped and God was saving and lives were being changed and a broken-hearted woman cried out while I was preaching in the morning service and she said, Lord of all, I've been told all my life that Christ ought to have first place in the life of His child.

I said, that's not so, sister. Christ does. Christ does. He won't have second place. He won't have second place. You can't crowd Him out. Oh, I know, you talk about you got saved and then you went back to the world and you said goodbye to Jesus and then you came back.

That's just sassy press, my friends. Oh, my sheep hear my voice and they follow me. Oh, they may make imperfect tracks like this poor old Santa but their face is in the right direction. God bless your heart.

They may fall but they won't stay. Oh, hear me always talk about you get saved today and say goodbye to Jesus. I'm going around on a little vacation and you hang around like a rat. There's nothing to that.

This is a lifelong act and Jesus must reign in your heart and yet He's denied today. His name is used to cuss with. His day is made used to make who pee with. His church is despised. His spirit is rejected and yet men are not cut off.

Why can men resist the Lord's spirit and reject the Lordship of Christ and cry out lawlessly? We will not have Him reign in our lives and not be cut off. My friends, the character and program of a holy God demands that people like that shall in God's good time be cut off and sent to hell.

The character and purpose of almighty God and His program demand that in God's own good time men who reject Jesus as Lord, men who thumb their noses in His face, men who live lives as if they had a body but no soul and say, no God for me.

The program, the purpose and the character of a holy God demand that some of these days in God's time they shall be cut off and sent to hell. In the 13th chapter of Matthew I read the Son of Man shall send forth His angels and they shall gather out of His kingdom and avail all things that are thin and them which do aniquity.

Blessed God, wouldn't that be fine? You know, if you think I can clean up this town, you're crazy. I ain't much interest in cleaning up this town. I'm sort of a pessimist about that, folks. I think the only hope cleaning up Matthew is the coming of Jesus Christ.

I believe that's so. I don't believe we'll get it done. I don't believe we'll get it done any other way. All I'm trying to do is to warn everybody I can that the reason we've gone in the hole, we overshot the mark.

That's all right. You do the best you can and we'll pay the difference. And we're not going to take it back. We're glad we're spending $1 ,100. This message going out is going to multiply thousands of homes after you get home tonight.

People, we couldn't drag a hogtie to get into this tent. People who spent most of the night in pleasure, innocence, or guilty, or in some sort of sin, and they'll listen and at the judgment we'll be glad.

Maybe we'll have to dig deep. I don't want anybody to just give a little eye on every child of God in this town to sacrifice something in this effort. Sacrifice time and prayer and morning. And God's name these desperate days demand that all of us do it.

But we didn't come to this town to clean up your city. God bless your heart. This whole world is gone. This whole world some of it knows that Almighty God is gone. It's sunk in its sin. But one thing we can do we can warn them and God Almighty going to save some of them to the praise of the glory of His grace.

Warning Sinners and Trusting God's Saving Grace

I'd rather have that old contractor a man told me today about how he went and did personal work with him some time ago. How tough he was and how smart and adequate he was. And I'd rather have the testimony of that man's boy about the chains and the home and how the mother who was saved the other night was a different person.

And I'd rather have the phone calls I'm getting now. I'd rather have a little woman come and tell me how God saved the last night and how happy she was and how her husband was under conviction and how He's given my life power.

That's what I'm preaching for. I ain't trying to clean up this whole world, Brother Jimenez. I tell you, you've got more guys in this town than I've seen many a day. But I don't think you're going to get many of them cleaned up.

I'll tell you, the last Saturday night I preached for 26 months in the world's biggest oil town. For 16 months I was the only preacher in a city of 50 ,000 people. I got the governor of state Texas to declare martial law.

We closed up every dive in the hole out there. We drove out 1 ,200 public women and they let me leave the drive and told them not to come back. They let me light the match and we burned up 3 ,700 clock machines.

And in a month's time it was just as bad as it was when we started. It's the hopeless tax migrants. Now don't misunderstand. I'm in favor of giving them hell. I'm in favor of giving them hell. But I ain't in favor of quitting preaching.

I'll tell you right now, Brother, this whole world's gone. I'm in favor of driving them into the attic. I am. I'm in favor of hanging the hats up on every telephone post I can. But Brother, I ain't going to lose any sleep.

This whole world's going to hell. But the purpose of my job in this age is to save some people out of this old thinking boat. And bless God, after reading they left his chest out here and come here where I want to do the job that Jesus empowered him to do with his Holy Spirit and made possible by his shit blood.

Listen to me. Listen to me. Wouldn't it be wonderful if you hear me Friday night. You know the day's coming when he's going to send his angels down here to Nashville and all these old bootleggers and black market outfits and picture show operators and dance people and the folks that run your houses of ill pain and the folks that patronize them and the folks that run your big gambling establishments and the folks that entertain your visitors with booze.

God Almighty is going to send his angels and they're going to pick them up for the neck of the neck. That's right, brother. But he hadn't done his check. He hadn't done his check. I turn and read in 2 Thessalonians 1 I think it's verse 7.

To you who are troubled rest with us when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels inflaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God. Now they are not his gospel but who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and the glory of his power.

That time is coming. That time is coming. Why is it coming? Why justice demands it. Why is it coming? Why the character of God demands it. In the 13th chapter of the book of Luke I read I tell you quoting the Lord Jesus I tell you name but except you repent ye shall all likewise perish.

He speaks also of this parable. A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard and he came and sought fruit thereon and found none. Then he said unto the dresser of the vineyard Behold these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree and find none.

Cut it down. Why cumber it to the ground. And he answered and said unto him Look let it alone this year also till I shall dig about it and dung it and if it bear fruit well. And if not then after that thou shalt cut it down.

Why God Delays Judgment

Why hadn't God already cut you down? Why don't he? I was only meeting Chicago years ago and I went down State Street to the Pacific Garden Mission. About a block before I got to State Street during the Depression every communist in America had him a soapbox and was standing on the corner.

In some cities in New York City I tried to hold street meetings and pastors of the church in the city where I was preaching they wouldn't let me. But the police would let communists stand on the street corners and the police would give them protection and the communists would cuss the government and cuss God and cuss everybody.

And I stood there a communist was just raised and came and oh boy he's having him a time. And he's calling God every dirty unprincipled name he could think of. And finally he's just getting he's just getting so all roused up that he began to shake his fists up toward heaven.

And he called God a lot of dirty names says you're dirty so and so so and so God. They say you're up there I don't believe you are. And if you're up there and you don't like what I'm saying about you why don't you come on down here and do something about it.

And God didn't do a thing. Why? Why? Why? Why didn't God kill him? God had the power to. Ladies and gentlemen why hasn't God killed you? You're a haughty rebel. You won't let God run your life. You tell Jesus he cannot rule in your heart.

When the spirit knocks at your door you say not tonight. I got other fish to fry. I'm not willing to surrender to Jesus. People tell me Brother Barnard I want to be a Christian but I'm afraid I can't hold out.

That ain't so. That ain't the reason you don't want to be a Christian. The reason you don't want to be a Christian is you're afraid you might hold out. It's got to be under your heart that a Christian is to live a whole life.

And you stand around and you say well look at those people in the church what dirty lives they live. And you say there ain't a lot of Christian chances. Are you right? And you know that your Lord if he ever becomes the absolute Lord of your life will demand perfect obedience and holiness of heart and hard obedience to him.

And you say I don't want to because I can't hold out. You know you're telling a story. Why don't God kill you right now? You're a haughty rebel. You defies his authority. I warn you God's love is a holy love.

And the scriptures say Thou hatest all workers of iniquity. Thou hatest all workers of iniquity. God's not left to sit down as to how he regards those who have openly and persistently defied him. Again and again the Bible makes known to us the solemn fact that God looks upon the wicked as combers of the earth.

Why don't he cut you down as repugnant to him? He says they're gross and not gold. They're worthless cats. They're vipers. They're vessels of dishonor. They're vessels of wrath. He says there is trees whose fruit withereth without fruit.

Why? They're perched up by the roots in their poor pits for nothing but the fire. Why does God cut men off now in disenviewing the fact that the reason that the fact that they're not being cut off now leads men to presume and sin presumptuously and take advantage of the mercy and longsuffering of God in Ecclesiastes 8 verse 11 where Eve recalls sin against an evil word is not executed pedally.

Therefore the heart of the sons of men is foreset in them to do evil though a sinner watch it though a sinner do evil a hundred times and his days be too long yet surely I know that it shall be well with them that fear God which fear before him but it shall not be well with the wicked now that neither shall he prolong his days which are as a shatter because he feareth not God.

Why doesn't God cut this generation off the days coming when he is the days coming when he's going to cut one generation off the days coming when he's going to thrust in the sickle and the blood of men shall form a pool a hundred miles around deep enough to form up to the bridles of horses.

Is that literal? I don't know but it's a terrible picture of the carnage when by God pity is no more. And in the day of the feast of Isis sending his armies he comes and takes the wicked and them that do iniquity and everything into the pens and cast them into the lake of fire and the lake of brimstone.

Why don't he do it now? He doesn't do it because Jesus Christ hung on Calvary's cross and came God's throne from a throne of judgment to a throne of grace and mercy. And grace now reigns and mercy is now extended and God delights with his mercy and judgment waits.

Mercy for Guilty Sinners

And oh men and women are now to hear the wondrous story of the grace and the mercy of almighty God. The scriptures say three things about God's mercy. Paul says I obtain mercy. I obtain mercy. The scripture is very clear that men need mercy not justice.

Brother if you get what's coming to you you'll be sent to hell. Your heart is against God. Your feet are swift to shed blood from the time of your mother's womb. You go about speaking lies and hypocrisy.

I'm quoting the word of God. There's none that doeth good. No not one. There's no none righteous. All have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Oh my friends we need mercy and not justice. When I was living in Oklahoma in Tulsa a man by the name of Cunningham in Oklahoma City was arrested and accused of having murdered his wife.

The police had found his wife's body cut in many little pieces and put in a tow sack and tied and sewed securely. And then some iron weights were put on the tow sack and it was floating down and floating going down to the bottom of the river that flows along to the side of Oklahoma City.

And they got some evidence. I don't know if so or not but they arrested the husband and they brought him to trial and they tried him before twelve men and the jury said he's guilty and the judge pronounced that he should be hanged by the neck until he be dead on a certain day.

They took him down to the Huntsville Penitentiary in, oh to the McAllister Penitentiary in Oklahoma. And there was awaiting the time of the execution of the sentence of the court that had already been passed.

He was a multimillionaire and he used all of his money. He hired a set of brilliant lawyers and they circulated petitions all over Oklahoma and got hundreds and thousands of people to sign the petition and urge the governor to commute his sentence to life imprisonment.

They went to try to get appeals. They took it to higher courts and higher courts and every time the courts would say guilty guilty guilty they influenced newspapers and they worked for a solid year and got him state after state.

And finally the governor of the state issued his statement. He said I've considered the evidence. I've examined the evidence. I find that the evidence was properly handled and according to the evidence of the child this man is guilty and I cannot face my God and commute his sentence.

And so this man had to go on and let him hang by the neck until he was dead. Oh my friends oh if all Ralph Barnard could do was go up and down the land and tell men of the strict justice of God and tell you that every sin is worthy of death and that God will by no means spare the guilty.

I'd have played out long ago. I'd go and I'd try to get men to see their need of a savior. I don't believe anybody cares if Jesus did die until they see that they need him to die. And that's dead. And that'll break the heart of any old sinner out of hell if he ever faces it.

But I tell you I get a kick out of going and trying to get men lost and trying to get them to see they're guilty and trying to get them to see that they have no claims of God. And then tell them if you're interested Jesus Christ God Almighty Son died on Calvary's cross for sinners and the blessed wonder working power in the shit blood of Jesus Christ to cleanse a man's heart to get his sins wiped out of the blood and wiped off of this cushion of God's honor and to get him entrance into the kingdom of God.
