Prayer Demands Sanctification - Part 2 — Leonard Ravenhill

Progression in Sanctification

Let me just go back here at one thing. I'm talking about separation and sanctification to a purpose because again in John 17 Jesus says, for their sake I sanctify myself. You know There's a loveliest thing I think in All right.

If you think you're 47 You have a river, remember the river? If you think you're 47, you don't. Okay He says here's a river. This is the bank of the river. The man measured a thousand cubits and it was water to the ankles.

He measured another thousand and it was water to the knees. He measured another thousand and it was water to the thighs. He mentioned another thousand and it's water to swim in. To me it always suggests the progression in the Christian life.

We start off with water for the ankles, to the knees, to the loins and then this vast area of water to swim in. Taking again the 17th chapter of John is the same thing. As I mentioned to you the different things I gave you, the different things suggested in that chapter.

Finally we get into water to swim in. Here is this sanctified life. It's an ocean and we're never going to fathom all the beauties and mysteries and majesty of it. But in John 17 again, Jesus says for their sake I sanctify myself.

Now you could take that same thing and instead of having Ezekiel there, you could put the gospel of John there. And you get chapter 14 and 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, and you'll find there's progress in the whole way.

In the 14th chapter you have the first promise of the Holy Spirit. In the 15th chapter you have the fantastic picture Jesus gives us of the true vine. In the 16th chapter again you have the Holy Spirit kind of defined when He has come.

He will do this. He will do it. You know, when you've moved in an area like this, maybe it's not so, let me say, if you're moving in an area like this you're constantly hearing about the Holy Spirit and somebody's going to remind us that the Holy Spirit is not an influence.

He is a person. You will be amazed when you're going to church, if somebody will say, Brethren, I did not know until you came, or somebody else came, that the Holy Spirit is a person. They thought He was a kind of an atmosphere.

They thought He was a kind of a blessing. Now because He is a person, He speaks. Because He is a person, He can be offended. And Jesus makes it very clear in that 16th chapter when He has come, He will convince the world of what?

Of sin? And of righteousness and of judgment. But each chapter gets deeper and deeper. You come to 17, that's a tremendously deep chapter. Then you come into the 18th chapter. John 17 is the chapter on sanctification, alright.

Chapter 18 is going into the garden of Gethsemane, that's deeper still. Chapter 19 is going to judgment. Chapter 20 you have the resurrection. So once you start reading from John 14, you start going into deeper, deeper, deeper, deeper.

The Four Gospels and the Deity of Christ

Now a very lovely, beautiful, wonderful thing. I'm very fond of the gospel, which is not the gospel of John. People say very often, and say wrongly, and we shouldn't say things that are wrong, but very often Bible teachers say, now we're going to take the fourth gospel.

There is not a fourth gospel. There's one gospel told by four different people. There are not four gospels. Matthew shows Jesus as a king. Mark reveals Jesus as a servant. Luke reveals Jesus as the Son of God.

You know, we need to keep the balance between the humanity of Jesus and the deity of Jesus. Not as people say sometimes, Jesus was divine. No, no, no, he wasn't divine. I'm divine, you're divine if you made a partake of the divine nature, you're divine.

But not deity. Deity is way beyond divinity. If you and I are made partakers of the divine nature, we receive the divine life, which is so different and contrary to human life, but we're not deity. Deity is equality with God, as a matter of fact.

You think of it sometimes, when you've nothing else to do, and I'm sure you've many times like that around here. Get under a tree and read the first verse of the first chapter of the gospel recorded by John.

Anybody recite it? Okay, in the beginning was the Word. The Word was with God. The Word was God. Okay, so then in the beginning, oh, here we are, in the beginning, the Word was with God. The second thing, the Word, in the beginning, the Word was with God.

The second thing is what? The Word was God. Can't recite it properly myself now, I've confused myself here, let me think of this a minute. In the beginning, the Word was with God. Alright. Pardon? In the beginning was the Word.

So, in the beginning is eternity. I have to learn to talk, I haven't done this for years. In the beginning was, in the beginning is eternity. The Word was with God. Equality. The Word was God. Deity. Now, the whole of the gospel, we'll call it the gospel of John here for convenience, the whole of the gospel of John revealed is an expansion.

In other words, you've got the whole of his teaching condensed like, you know, a telescope. You can put it in. You've got the battle of the telescope. You can extend it, extend it, extend it. The battle of the telescope is in that first verse.

In the beginning was the Word. That's eternity. He was in the beginning, the Word was, he was. Eternity. The Word was with God. Equality. The Word was God. Deity. Then the rest of the book again is an expansion of that statement.

Now, 92 of what John says, in his interpretation of the gospel, is his own. You get the drift of that. What do you have in chapter 15? The vine. What do you have in Matthew, Mark, and Luke? What do you have in the 16th chapter?

The Holy Spirit. You don't find that in Matthew, Mark, and Luke. Not stated the same way. What do you have in John 17? The most hallowed thing. I read the other day where a man said, I write about prayers in the Bible, but I never dare touch John 17.

Why? Because you want to stick your shoes off your feet. I'd like to have seen Jesus raise the dead. I think it would be exciting to see Lazarus get up. I'd like to have seen, you know, Jesus walk on the waters.

I would like to have seen him drive demons out of people, but most of all, if I could only see one thing, it wouldn't be to see Jesus walk on the water. If I could only have one experience, I would have wanted the experience of hearing Jesus pray.

The Holiness and Wisdom Required for Prayer

I remember when I, about the second time I went to Chicago, and I said to one of the deacons in Dr. Tolson's church, well, I'm so looking forward to a time of prayer with Dr. Tolson. He said, he doesn't come to prayer meetings.

And I said, he what? I said, so how does that make sense? This man that's written so much does not come to prayer meetings? Well, he said he did come for a few years in this church, and then we asked him not to come.

Why not? Well, and this made me understand why nowhere in the Scripture can I find where Jesus ever prayed with his disciples. Can you think of a place where he prayed? In John 17, he didn't pray with them, he prayed for them.

He didn't pray with them for the simple reason that the analogy is best borne out which poser he's a bit nearer than human to us. I said, why doesn't Dr. Tolson come to the prayer meeting? He said, for this reason, that when we, he would give a talk on prayer, they'd say, let us pray.

They got about 60, 70 to the prayer meeting. And he said, after Dr. Tolson said, let us pray, there was a silence. 10 or 15 minutes, nobody prayed. Then the doctor wouldn't pray. Then after he prayed, nobody there prayed.

See? That didn't mean he was so picturesque without them saying, Lord, I said, now I've got the answers to why Jesus never said anything. They would never have understood him. He prayed in an airy, he prayed with an intelligence, if you like.

I'll say to that fifth, a few minutes ago there, the difference is having knowledge. Wisdom is knowing how to apply knowledge there. Jesus Christ has made unto us wisdom. I don't care how much knowledge or wisdom you have, even wisdom is progressive.

When I was in school, I wasn't so smart, I'll tell you that. Sometimes the teacher would say, Rachel, answer this question. He stood up promptly and all, and very often I'd fumble the whole thing. And the kids would snigger.

Setting the epistle of James, if a man lacked wisdom, let him ask of God. Now, he asked for so many, now, when did, oh, Mr. Goodness, when did you last ask God for wisdom? I think you should say that every day because not every teacher that comes here will tell you everything that's right, apart from myself.

They'll put all the bad ideas and the ideas, and you check on it and say, well, wait a minute, wait a minute. We need wisdom. And if you need it in real life, you can do what our son David has done. He's coming back to the Lord.

He's only seven years, and God has told him to come back to America to live and come and live in Texas so most likely he'll come and teach. He's got a very good teaching ministry. But he has saturated himself on the book of Proverbs.

It's the book of wisdom. I think that in our class in Sunday school with our little fellowship, one period I said, now children, you learn this proverb by next Sunday and before all the assembled people, we have a tremendous crowd of people, thirty-five.

But anyhow, the children come in. In our little community, the children come in and I say, what was the text this week? And they stand up and say Proverbs 8, so and so. What was the scripture this week?

You see, it's no good paying for wisdom if you don't have the material to operate. You can't knit with invisible wool, can you? The lady said, no, thank you. I didn't think you could either. You can't.

But if you get wool and then you get a design and you apply a bit of knowledge to this, before long you'll knit one and purl two and drop 40 stitches or something. But you'll do it because you have the material to work on.

Now God needs material to work on. I have a friend, he's a good man, successful business man, but I always feel uncomfortable. Not that I'm an intellectual. I'm just teaching. The Bible's very simple, isn't it?

I never knew it was. I never knew it was. You see, the Word has expanded the wisdom. If God is going to sanctify me wholly, my spirit, my soul and my body. Again, my spirit is my God relationship, my soul is self-consciousness.

But in my soul I have emotion, I have will, I have all those things that disturb, that stir me in sorts of, I'm soulish, I have to be soulish, I need purification in my soul area, I need purification in my mind area, I need purification in my body area.

I need to have settled things in my mind, but my body is a vessel unto honor, sanctified. I'm not going to pollute it in any way. I'm not going to abuse it in any way. This again is why God says, look, you need a day, as a hymn writer says, a day of rest and gladness, a day of holy joy.

You should do a minimum of work on the Sabbath day, your body needs a rest. If God could only work six and he rested, then unless you're smothering God, you need a day in which he'll hardly do a thing.

Now don't get it wrong, you need six days when you don't do anything and work one. You keep it in order, you have one day in which you don't work and you don't soil your hands in one thing at all, you just keep that day as unto God.

And look, if you do that, I guarantee if I see you a year from today, if you give that day to God, he'll work it totally. You can go courting if you like, but make that even a sanctified emeritus war and then say, well it's time to go home and go.

But give God that day. Concentrate on the things of God. Work out that which God, God will work in you, but you've got to work out your own salvation. Many of us want to come to maturity without working it out.

There was a song about Spurgeon, I get a tremendous kick out of Spurgeon because you see, he was only 14 when he was saved and I was saved at 14, I didn't know Spurgeon. He never went to Bible school, I did nearly six months, but I never went to high school, I never went to college, I never went to seminary.

If I've learned anything, I learn it on my knees. But at 14 years of age, Spurgeon was converted. Well 14 and 5 makes 19, when he was 19, they built him a tabernacle seating 5 ,000 people which he packed twice a day which makes 10 ,000.

He didn't have the baptism, isn't that amazing? I should think so, too well. To think that a man at 14 years of age never went to Bible school or seminary, never had the baptism as we have one to interpret it 50 different ways.

But he waited on God. He bought some good books, he studied, he prayed. I don't know if any of you've read, have you read Knowing God? Who's read Knowing God by J .R. Tucker? Good, good, good. You should read, that's a tremendous book.

In fact most books by Englishmen are good. But anyhow, J .R. Tucker is in the university, but he begins that very lovely book by stating this was preached in a New Park street pulpit and he gives you about 50 lines of real profound stuff like the Puritans used to preach.

And then when he finishes he says this was preached by a Spurgeon when he was 20 years of age. Now if he hadn't put that and somebody said to me who wrote that? I'd say John Owen wrote that in 1546. You know I believe, this is what I really believe, I mentioned about this river, you know waters to the ankles.

I believe right now the Church of Jesus Christ hasn't even got the soles of its feet wet, never mind got my ankles wet. If you were living in a day, again it's a shrinking world. Sure that biggest plane goes over the Atlantic takes roughly 3 months to come you can do it in 3 hours now in this super jet, French English Concourse.

The world is shrinking, the universe is expanding. You know we only knew the names of 180 stars and we knew there was a streak through the sky, you know you see there's a streak right through the sky sometimes.

It goes like this, it's just a kind of a light path and it's called the Milky Way. And in it there are supposed to be I don't know 10 million stars. And it was unique. When I was a boy I used to go Milky Way, Milky Way, wonderful.

There are a thousand Milky Ways in the heavens. We didn't have telescopes to bring them in. Now we've got telescopes. A telescope on Mount Palomar it's so big you fit inside of it to look through it, isn't that something?

And it's revealing the majesty of the heavens. You look at the sun, you can get this world in which we live. If I had a watch it would look better. A round world, not just a round flat that way. Imagine the men arguing.

One man said the world's round, the other one said it's flat and the other man came up and said nonsense. But anyhow, there you've got the world. You can put 1 ,200 ,000 worlds in the sun. It's so big.

And you've got suns out in space in which you can put a million suns. It's so great. Now that's not a guess. That's a scientific fact. The scientist does not believe in eternity. He does believe in infinity.

You see not so long ago we shot something from earth. We were shooting up to a planet here and we shot it from earth here and the thing went up and went right past the planet and it's still going. And then say eventually we'll get a man on a star.

Well if you'd keep that rocket going it would get to a star in about 1 ,800 years and I think the fellows on board might run out of time by that time. I mean the only way you're going to get from earth to a star all right here's the planet they missed there's the star over here that thing's going to keep going.

Well how in the world are they going to get there? The only two things you need on board one is a maternity block and the other is a cemetery. Who's going to live long enough to see God's majesty? That's part of his great and glorious creation.

Holiness Before Entering God's Presence

So vast. This again is why I go to some meetings and they get no further than clapping have a good time and whistling and singing. That's all right if you're in the primary. I keep saying to people get out of your playpen spiritually.

There ought to be times when we not only leave the sanctuary in awe but we've come with a sense of awe. You know if you come with a foul spiritual meeting you'll pollute that meeting and God help you when you get to eternity.

We need to be pure to go to the sanctuary. Well the scriptures say be ye clean that bear the vessels of the Lord. People say well I ain't going to church boy I really need cleaning up I've fouled up with temper or secret lust or this that and the other and they just think they bring all the dirt and that's all there is.

No no no you should have settled that if it has to be that way you should have settled it that way before you come. I make the atmosphere pure because God only inhabits the place that's pure. The priest in the Old Testament wore a garment.

He was sanctified. He was separated from the rest of the people. Oh I listen to some of these TV boys TV boys that are about as thrilling as TV dinners but I listen to them sometimes and oh brother they just just about make me tired.

Their shallow conception of God and the holiness and majesty of God is pitiable. And you know they stress this that and the other about their ministry and they'll do this and they'll do that and I hark back every time to the Old Testament I say let's go back to the Old Testament economy when a man came out of the world to be separated as Aaron and his sons they never touched the thing anymore and their garments were made everything was pure.

They didn't have electric lights. You didn't know that they didn't have electric lights. They had lamps that burned with oil and you say yes they put olive oil. No they didn't. What did they put? Pure olive oil in the vessels were made of gold.

No they were made of pure gold. Everything in that sanctuary was pure. Now the garment of the priest went up to his chin like this. He had a coat that buttoned so it had hooks and eyes on right up to his neck and it went right down to his feet.

It was made of linen. No it was made of pure linen. It could not have any wool in it. Why do you wear wool? Right there to keep warm. What happens if you get too warm? Sweat. Well you don't use that now you say it's a fire.

But you go to see a druid and the lady says what are you looking for? You say I'm looking for two perspiration shirts for my husband. He says what? Well I've been to college. You don't say perspiration at the sweat.

You say perspiration. No no sweat. Jesus sweat great drops of blood. The priest must not sweat. Why. Because sweat is a sign of the curse. Man never sweat until the curse. Just as in the case the people didn't understand why.

There was going to be a flood. God watered the earth with dew. And when you say there's going to be holes in heaven and there's going to be holes in the earth and water from beneath. He's going to meet water from underneath.

Forget it. How can it rain. What's rain. Anyhow. But in the holy covenant then the priest must not sweat. That's the only commandment that preachers have bought from the old testament. They refuse to sweat.

Thank you. But he must not sweat. I don't like artificial dignity. I think in America particularly people are too familiar with the preacher. Hi Bill see you Saturday. Can I play golf now. Maybe the Europeans have overdone it.

But there is a dignity. You respect the man of God. He doesn't want it. But it's a command of God. He's a sanctified man. At least he should be. He is separated. He doesn't have to do the things that other men do.

The priest for instance they say well praise God. I'm glad he called me and he filled me with the spirit. And I'm walking with God and everything else. And he made me a priest. Like he made Joshua. Like he made Aaron.

I sometimes wish TV was two way or radio. Don't you. I'd say you mean to say you don't own a thing. The priest was not allowed to own even a spoonful of land. He was sanctified. He didn't contaminate himself with anything commercial.

He was sanctified to that degree. Alright. So Jesus sanctified himself. Why you say. Well sanctification means holiness. But he did not make himself. He was holy. But again sanctification is separation from John 17.

He starts going into this area here and he sanctifies himself. He separates himself. Let's see. I don't think he ever did one after that 17th prayer except one. You know when Peter slashed at a fellow's ear.

Well he sure didn't mean to cut off his ear. He meant to cut his head off now which he had because Jesus would have stuck it on anyhow. That would have been a better miracle. If there's any degree to miracles he had separated himself.

Measuring Life by Sacrifice Rather Than Gain

Now somewhere along the line God is going to ask you to separate yourself even from people. He comes up and says last time you were here you said so and so and I prayed about it. Do you know what happened in my mind.

I say yes. I know. Do you know since you were here last time I believe I've grown in grace. But do you know what. I've lost more friends. I've lost this. I've lost that great lost the other. You know most Christians are stupid.

Nobody's present. But all the other folk outside they're all such a stupid bunch. The second love letter my wife wrote to me had a verse in it. I've never forgotten. I don't know who wrote it. I tried to find it.

I can't find it. It said this measure thy life by loss and not by gain not by the wine drunk but by the wine poured forth. For love's strength standeth in love's sacrifice. And he who suffers most has most to give.

You see that's God working in and it's God working out. Measure thy life. Everybody says do you know how the Lord has blessed me. Do you know what I have now. I know wealthy people and I'm glad of them for the work they do for God.

That's their ministry. They're going to have their reward in eternity. Trouble is that when somebody gives money you know the fellows pass notes round. Hey if you're going through those top songs oh you get a couple of hundred at least.

He gave me a thousand. He gave John fifty and they tip each other. Now I would never do that. If people give me a gift it's between them and me not anybody else. I never pass on any information. I've got other folks.

I've forgotten what they are. I don't pass on information. I'm not in the business of what I get out of it except eternally. Now don't measure your life necessarily. If God gives you something you measure it.

So you measure your life by loss and not by gain not by the wine drunk. If you had a hundred guests and you had a costly French wine I guess you don't drink wine. I don't, maybe you do, I don't know. But if you drank wine and you pour out a hundred cups of wine and some only sip some they cough the whole lot.

And one thing which you should never do. I understand. But if all the other people poured forth you wanted them to have all that. If they don't take it that's their responsibility not yours. By the same token if you have a ministry and they reject it that's their responsibility not yours.

Gilmore went to Mongolia he worked seven years and never saw a convert. Judson went to Burma and had about the same reaction to God's sacrifice. I learn things very slowly. I admit that but I've realized really the crux of the Christian life the crux of Christian ministry is not brilliance is not knowledge is not success as we know it.

The crux of the whole thing is sacrifice. That's the center of God's love. Sacrifice, he loved and he gave God so loved the world he gave Christ loved the church he loved the world. We'll give ourselves for the world.

You can't do it theoretically it has to be worked out. And you know what when you make a sacrifice you're the only one that feels the pain. Somebody else will pat you on the back and say well done Joe.

Oh that was good. Mary I'm glad to go this. And maybe you go with a broken heart. God takes the very treasure out of your hands and they say amen. And you do all the suffering. And here are three people this is Mary and this is Jill and this is Peggy.

Alright. And so Mary, Jill and Peggy. Jill is in a meeting and they're singing a hymn draw me nearer, nearer, nearer blessed Lord. And she starts weeping yes Lord. I mean that if ever I meant it I mean it draw me nearer, nearer, nearer.

And she discovers a couple of weeks after five years suddenly says hey don't come today. It's not convenient. And she drops her. And then a friend at the other side a few weeks after drops her off and she's just by herself.

And then she wants to know why Dr. Tozer said to me once Len, Christians don't tell lies. They just go to church and sing them. And often we do. I mean can God take. I mean am I just standing up with a bunch.

Is there a herd instinct when we come to worship you know we sing a hymn like Charles Wesley, Jiju, lover of my soul. There's a phrase in there that always gets to me thou O Christ art all I want. Is that right.

And I got my priorities as straight as that thou O Christ art all I want. Or a hymn that I think is maybe richer than that beneath the cross of Jesus. I love that hymn. I fain would take my stand. And in the middle of it it says I ask no other sunshine than the sunshine of thy face.

You mean that you mean you can stand up when everybody else frowns at you because he's smiling on you. And you'd rather have his smile and everybody's frown than everybody's smile and his frown. I mean am I really singing this.

Am I really in my heart. Or am I borrowing somebody's language to give me an emotional stir or make me feel good. Am I swearing my allegiance afresh to him than the sunshine of thy face. Because that's just one level of a sanctified life.

I bring nothing of the garbage of the world into this. I have so long been contaminated my body, my mind, my spirit. I've so long been an agent of sin that he says now you mate free from sin and you have your fruit unto holiness.

Now I hear a lot about gifts of the spirit. I don't hear too much about the fruits of the spirit the fruits unto holiness. I hear less of the great language of John Baptist when he said bring forth fruit meet for repentance.

You see we don't stress that we say to people you just come up here and weep and tell the Lord you're sorry. I was in a meeting a while ago where a woman came to the altar big blonde lovely lady and she just fell down like a sack of potatoes.

And somebody dealt with her for an hour and she said I want to tell you something Mr. Ravenhill this is the fourteenth time I've come to an altar and I've never been born again. The way you talked about it this morning.

I went to a famous Bible school and in that Bible school every year they had at least two revivals. And every revival I went to the altar but I never got anywhere. So they just put their arm around my neck and said Jesus loves you just say this and you'll be born again.

I'm convinced that modern evangelism does not preach being born again. It preaches forgiveness. It preaches heaven. It preaches peace of mind. If you read John Wesley's journal and you should you'll discover that he says over and over again I went to so and so and I offered men.

What forgiveness? No heaven? No peace of mind? No joy in the Lord? No. What did he offer them. Charles says in one of his hymns my heart is full of Christ. I've quit asking people if they're saved. Everybody's saved these days.

From Mr. Carter to Johnny Jenkins down serving liquor. Graham and his crew saved the other week. And they said that many of the people who serve at the crab tables and gambling they're born again Christians.

They see it as a way of life. Oh well then people in massage parlors see it as a way of life. What's the difference? Sin's sin. You see one thing about the sanctified life. It surely demands separation from the world.

Sanctification as Separation From the World

The flesh and the devil. In every way. Look what it's going to cost. What are you suggesting? It cost Jesus nothing to come from heaven. I've never heard anybody preach on the loneliness of God. Have you?

Or have you even thought of it? God gave his son for 30 years. God was lonely. That took a long while. Many times I've crossed the Atlantic and the boat hadn't left the dock. In one sense wishing I was back with my wife and children.

Though I knew I was going on a divine mission. It didn't alter the fact of my loneliness my separation. And God has separated from his son for 30 years. Pretty long time. And God asks for separation. Don't take them out of the world.

Keep them from the evil one. John says if a man loved the world the love of the father is in him. Now you've got saved movie stars. You've got saved this, saved the other. Well where in God's name is the separation?

Come out and touch not the unclean thing. Well then somebody says you're trying to be a goody goody. Well I'd rather be a goody goody than a rotty rotty. Wouldn't you? I mean after all if we're going in for the spiritual life let's aim for the highest.

Who wants to be? I never wanted to be the lowest in class at school. Did you? Maybe you were there. You didn't want to be there. You struggled and struggled and had some mental sweat and effort supposing.

I change the accent and say sanctify. You see we've got strange ideas of saints. You know some people say I've been filled with the spirit so long and walking with God. And one day they wake up. Oh what's this on my pillow?

Oh my halo it's come at last I thought it would be here one morning when I woke up. You try and put your dress on. It won't fit. Oh my wings are sprouting. I'm going to be an angel or a saint. Some of the greatest saints I know are the poorest.

Some of the greatest saints I know are the richest. Some of the greatest saints I know are ignorant. Some of the greatest saints I know are just geniuses. I don't rate people according to all these little satellite things that we have.

You know as though you had a where's my rubber. Here's a man. And let's say he's a saint. He's a genius. This man is a famous author. This man is something else. You know that's all pure nonsense. I want to know about the man's character.

You see that's all God is after in your life. That's why I say you can be sanctified holy. It's your character is after. Now. Charisma is alright. But charisma without character equals zero nothing. You wouldn't get me to go five yards to hear some of the modern charismatic men.

Not when they're living with another man's wife or another woman. I can give you a list of a whole bunch of them if you like. I'm not interested. I don't want to go and hear a religious philosopher who spins a lot of yarns and gets me excited.

And then you say no that's not his wife. I mean no adultery. But they're incompatible. Well isn't that what the sanctified life is all about. Look you say Miss Raven can you tell me what. Really give me a definition of really being.

Well number one. You're easy to live with no amens. But it's still true. Maybe that guy heard me walking down the field there. But anyhow isn't that the proof of it. Now ask my sweetheart if I'm easy to live with.

If I'm not she'll tell you. And if my children were not walking with God I would not want to rescue other people's children from hell if mine were not right. The whole rottenness in the nation is due to this fact that the daddy and mummy in the home is not sanctified and therefore corruption is spread.

God is wanting sanctified fathers and mothers. You see the idea of many people is this. Look here we are. We're all together. Let's say this here. This is the these are the steps going where. Well let's put it this way.

This is the upper room. Alright. Here are the men. There are about 120 in the upper room. Now with all the knowledge you have tell me where six of them went. And when you've told me about six of them where did the other 114 go.
