Deliverance and Freedom From Sin — G.W. North

Deliverance From Sin as the Central Christian Need

I said this afternoon that I wanted to talk with you tonight on God's great plan for deliverance from sin. I think that this is probably about the most vital subject of all, really, that we should know the truth of God about this.

I couldn't help thinking when we were singing that lovely hymn, We taste thee, O thou living bread, And long to feast upon thee still. We drink of thee, thou fountainhead, And thirst our souls from thee to fill.

And I thought, Lord, I've tasted thee, I've never tasted any sin in thee, not once. There's no sin in this bread, there's nothing awful or wretched in this drink, nothing but uttermost perfection. Glory to the name of the Lord.

Now I am well aware, because I'm told, I should say perhaps once a month, if not more than once a month, may not be quite there in that I don't keep check of these things, but as I travel around, probably averaging out about once a month over a year, I hear a report something like this, that you want to avoid that man north.

Whatever you do, don't go near him. And it doesn't matter if I was talking about south, it doesn't make any difference. It's the principle I want to come to. You see, he's dangerous. Don't go near him.

This is the thing. Don't have him on your platform and don't have him in your house. I hope sometimes they may say, well, he's not, you know, he's all right, but, and it's always this thing that comes out, that he preaches sinless perfection.

Well, sometimes I was remarking on this actually yesterday whilst I was traveling with some dear friends who very obligingly brought me up. And I was saying to them sometimes when I feel a little bit like it, and I really want to be cheeky and people say to me, now, do you believe in sinless perfection?

I say, yes, I do when I get to heaven. So that's that. So now, you know, you've heard the words come out of my mouth, but it's rather like that thing I drew your attention to this morning. God be thanked that you were the slaves of sin, but that's right.

Amen. Yes. Although it's rather in an opposite truth, of course, I believe in sinless perfection and this, I wouldn't believe in Jesus. He's sinlessly perfect. But I suppose these things have been made to stand rather like word symbols for some kind of heresy that you chase and kill if you possibly can.

And I hope if mistakenly some people want to chase and kill the truth of deliverance from sin as it is in scripture, they trip over and break their neck before they reach it and kill it. I hope they do.

I'm not wishing them any harm. I mean that it better they died than try to come against scriptural freedom from sin. Better they died than that they preached anything else but this pure and glorious gospel of Jesus Christ.

Scriptural Holiness and the Work of the Holy Spirit

Now, I suppose I ought to start off with an apology in that in these hallowed walls, this kind of message has been preached before, if not by me, and I think it must have been. And that you will know that this is really the home, not this particular hall, but because this has been an addition, but you will know that Cliff College became the last great strong hold in England of scriptural holiness as presented by the Methodists.

And that from this place men went out on fire with the glory and power of God. I remember once seeing that unlike Norman, oh I don't know, yeah I am unlike Norman, I mean in lots of ways, but in this I am.

I'm like him in that I didn't go to a university until I went there to preach and teach others, but I neither did I, I didn't go to a theological college, so that's where I'm unlike him. But I remember once speaking to the principal of a Bible college, and I'd been lecturing in the college.

I had to learn all their terminology before I could lecture to them, it was a real hoot. The terminology doesn't matter much, but I had that kind of memory that could sort of tuck it away in those days.

But I remember saying to him, your business my brother is not to teach these young men that you have here the ins and outs of modernism and how to combat it and evolution and how to answer it and university cleverness and how to come up on it and combat it.

Your business is to get men and young men in here and get them baptized in the Holy Ghost and send them out on fire to preach the gospel, that's your job. He had to agree with me, I don't know that he liked the way I said it.

But that's true, and let me say something to you all here, in that I suppose that some of you regard me as a little bit of a dad, not a bore I hope, but I want to destroy this idea that you've got to be taught the wrong in order to be able to give an answer to the people that come up with wrong things.

You've got to be able to answer these university people, you've got to be able to give them an answer in the terms that they have. That's a lot of nonsense because I mean I'm an ignoramus, I don't want to say the rest of it, I don't want to go on with the rest of it, I'll leave your mind to work it out, except to say that I have to meet all these people too, and I never learned the clever answers to them.

All you need to be is full of the Holy Ghost and teachable, that's all you need, amen. Isn't that a marvellous thing? Yeah, and you see, the Lord, I'm going to preach about this other subject in a minute or two, at least I think I am.

Whilst I was sitting there, the Lord said to me, I don't know whether he sort of talks to you like this, I don't hear voices, beware of these people who are always hearing voices, they need to be taken somewhere where they can get delivered usually.

But the Lord was sort of talking to me in my spirit very clearly and he said to me, of course you know why I kept out of the way for 30 years, don't you? And I listened to him very carefully and explained himself as neatly as anything and as beautifully as anything.

You see, this is why you don't need to be taught by other people, he'll teach you himself really. If you'll only listen to him and if you'll be so adjusted that he can and if you'll stick at it when the way seems hard and when it's not like falling over the edge of a cliff, I mean as easy as that or falling off a horse or falling out of an aeroplane, if you do those sorts of things.

And thinking about aeroplanes, my wife said to me the other day, you know it is dreadful, she said really, you know, it's not safe to go up in aeroplanes. I suppose she's thinking about her husband flying to India and back and probably flying to Africa and back and flying all these places and back, you see.

I bet she had got some wifely concern behind it. She said, you know, it really is awful, not safe to travel in. Oh, I said, I'm quite sure nobody ought to travel in aeroplanes unless they're the Lord's because he looks after the planes then.

I'm quite sure about that, but you may not agree with me, but there it is. You may think I've got some funny ideas, but no, aeroplanes aren't safe unless you're the Lord's. And the, the, the, you're not going to contradict me, are you Lord?

No, he agrees with me. What was I saying? Oh, no, what was I saying? I know what I'm going to preach about, pardon? Oh yes, the Lord told me why he was kept hidden for 30 years. You see, he said to me, you see, I had so many natural abilities and I had so many sort of gifts and nobody would have thought they had a chance with me about it.

He said, because I had everything. So he said, that's why I was kept out of sight for 30 years, so that when I did come on, it wasn't just my own natural abilities. It wasn't just my innate gifts or talents.

What I could do, it was just that under the anointing of the Spirit, I could do what Father wanted me to do. Now wasn't that lovely? You see, he, he, he tells me what I'm to preach to you. It's ever so easy when you're in touch.

Preaching's easy. There's nothing in preaching at all. The Lord tells you what to say. Nobody's clever if they're a real preacher. They're so, such duffers that God has to tell them everything. That's right.

I'm telling you the truth. If you stuff your head up with a knot of knowledge, God won't be able to tell you anything. And he said to me a little earlier this evening, just before I came into the meeting, he said, preach the Word.

So then I had a little talk in my mind with the Lord about what he meant by the Word. Now, did you mean the written Word, Lord, or did you mean the spoken Word? You see, and my knowledge of the Greek isn't so good that I can sort of say it right off like that.

I, I would have to look that up. Whether, which, which word he used in the Greek. And so he said, preach the Word. So I said, all right, Lord. Amen. And what I want to do with you tonight is something which so many of us in this room have done together before.

I only want to take you over familiar ground. I don't see why you want to be recording anything, really. Some of you must have recorded this kind of message before. All right. If you want to continue, I want just to take the Bible in my hand with you.

And by the way, I was so grateful for what Norman said about that word in this afternoon. He said, this is the reason our brother always uses the authorised. That's absolutely true. That's absolutely true.

Because the authorised in all these spiritual insights is far more sound than the revision. The revision, of course, is much more correct so far as grammar is concerned. But grammar didn't save me. Amen.

That's right. Hallelujah. And the whole tremendous truth is, beloved, that I want to know what spiritual men had to say, rather than what scholars have to say. If he can be a scholar and spiritual, he should know different than interpret that little word in Galatians as to instead of in.

Norman drew your attention to it. It isn't in the Greek, God revealed his son to me. It is emphatically, truly, as any Greek scholar will tell you. It's in me. Now, why did they change it? Because their spiritual experience didn't permit them to do it.

I once heard a man, a Methodist man, commenting about singing. Mind you, this was a long time ago. I won't tell you how long, unless you'll be guessing how old I am. And I heard this comment, why congregations couldn't sing some of the grand old hymns of the past.

He said it was because their spiritual experience wouldn't allow them to do it. And this is why the wonder and wealth of these marvelous things of the past have got cleared out of our hymn books, beloved.

Hallelujah. God wants us to be in what he has said in the book. So then, over familiar ground, I want to go with you and see what the scriptures do say. I think that's all we need to do about this great subject of deliverance and freedom from sin.

Jesus’ Teaching on the Cost of Discipleship

Firstly, and I think I've come to believe, even preachers make progress in their preaching. I've come to believe that probably the best way to get down to see what God thinks about it is to take just exactly what Jesus said, what the apostles said, and not worry about doctrine about it.

I'm not concerned with doctrinal things, in that I do really believe the Bible was written before modern doctrines arose. And there it is. Doctrines are men's interpretations. The Bible is God's word.

And I don't see, beloved, that we can do any better in this great subject than starting off by seeing what Jesus said about the man. Now, perhaps I ought to give you a little warning first, in that a few days ago, I was in a conference.

And it was a conference of witnesses and workers and all sorts of people like that. And I was there to sort of take morning sessions of teaching. It was wonderful. I used to go for two hours, bang off like that.

That's great to have two-hour sessions with the Bible. And in the afternoon and evening, they used to go out witnessing in the local pubs, clubs. Oh, I don't know where they went. And there was a whole group of about 10 or 12 people there.

They won't mind me saying this because of what the Lord did. If the Lord hadn't done it and if they hadn't responded, they might have been a little bit cheery about having themselves referred to on a tape that almost certifies it to be at least semi-permanent.

But I preached on this very subject. And that night when they went out to witness, they couldn't witness. They were sitting up on the walls and all round about. And another one, one of the leaders of this particular conference, he came up and they got off the wall and said, what's the matter with us?

We can't witness. What's going on? Something's changed. You see? And so back they came. And the next morning they came in and because of certain remarks, we went back to the subject again. And we finished up with four hours on this great subject.

And at the end, the leader of the party stood up and said, I bless God for bringing me here this week. He's given me a new heart, he said. He's absolutely changed and radiated and shone. And I don't know what they didn't do.

It was a tremendous thing. At the end of the conference, I finished up with a great big murderous flick knife that somebody gave me. That had been running around as a murder weapon, one young man. And I've got it amongst my souvenirs.

I've got quite a collection of those things. If the police raided my home, they may lock me up for having dangerous weapons. What the Lord really does. And so then we'll look together into the scriptures and shall we all together indulge in the glory of the revelation.

And if what I say isn't in this book, I invite you now to disbelieve me. I don't want you to believe anything that isn't written in this book. And I promise you, I will just read it with you. And if you like, we'll come to conclusions together.

I invite you to. We'll come to conclusions together. And we'll see what God says. Hey, that all right? Well, yes or no. If it's no, I'll stop. It's no good going on unless we're all agreed. And I want first of all then to see what Jesus said on this great subject.

But again, I want to give you a warning first. You must always understand that Jesus was rather like this. Contrary to so many people's thoughts, he didn't go around trying to make disciples out of any old person that comes along.

Now, don't get carried away with this sort of popular concept of what Jesus Christ did. He did not go around saying, OK, it is all you can come. Come on, fall in here, follow me and so on and so on like that.

He didn't do that at all. In fact, when I really seriously got down to seeing the Lord Jesus at work, I started to revise a lot of my thinking about disciple making. In the sixth chapter of John, you will remember, he started talking about himself being the bread of life.

And if they didn't eat his flesh and drink his blood, they couldn't have any part with him. And they said, oh, what's he talking about? How can this man give us his flesh to eat and so on and so on and so on and so on?

And he said, they said, if you don't eat my flesh and drink my blood, that's that. You can't be my son. So they just left him. They packed up and went home. I said, that's finished. See, and instead of turning around and saying, seeing that he's got 12 good, strong men through someone, I'm ever so glad you're sticking with me.

What do you think he said? He said, do you want to go away too? Yeah, they'd have finished up one. He would have lost all his 12 disciples. Do you want to go away too? He said, gave them an opportunity to leave him.

It's fine, it's fine as you know. He'll give you an invitation to come, but he'll give you an opportunity to leave if you want. Amen. If you come, know the grounds upon which you come. And take this warning from the lips of Jesus.

If it be a warning, I'm reading first in John 15, 22. If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin. But now they have no cloak. Or if you have a marginal emendation, you may see excuse for their sin.

Now, when Jesus speaks to you, you will have no more excuse for sinning. That's plain from that verse. So you better be warned. If you want to go on in sin, I should walk out of the door. Because Jesus is going to talk to you tonight by the blessed spirit.

And after he's spoken, you won't have any cloak or excuse for sin again. I hope there's no one here is wanting a cloak or a cover up for sin. I trust that every one of us has been drawn by Jesus, at least to the point where we hate sin and want to get rid of it.

And if we do sin, that's a major tragedy in our life. So turn with me then, first of all, to John chapter 5. You will know it as the chapter that contains the story of the man who was impotent by the pool of Bethesda.

And all that transpired there with Jesus going to him, and he says in verse 6 to this man, will thou be made whole? Now, let me say this to you, beloved. You may be in this conference with some physical need, and by God's grace, we'll see the Lord deliver you from it whilst you're here.

But if Jesus comes to you and says, now, do you want to be made whole? If your mind flies immediately to your sickness, you don't know what's behind that question by Jesus. If it's only your sickness you're thinking about, as we shall see, will thou be made whole?

That's what Jesus said, you see. And he started all the preamble that you might expect him to say. I've got nobody to help me. I've got this or that or the other. It's one of the major tragedies of the human mind that when Jesus comes and asks them a direct question, and the answer to your need is adjacent to you, standing by you as Jesus stood over this man, impotent from his lay there, you're always looking for the moving of something he said he was waiting, waiting, waiting for something else to happen.

When Jesus had come there, mind you, he thought it was a marvellous thing was going to happen, angelic movement and all that sort of thing. And God had come there. God had moved into the scene and will you be made whole?

Oh, praise God, when Jesus is here, beloved, you needn't wait for anything else to happen when he's here. Will you be made whole? And after he waited, how patient Jesus is, whilst this man got through his little pieces that he might be expected to say, the Lord said by verse eight, rise, take up thy bed and walk.

Amen. And immediately the man was made whole, took up his bed and walked. And on the same day was the Sabbath. Of course, that was the major crime to the Jews. And the Jews said to him that was good. It's the Sabbath day.

It's not lawful for thee to carry thy bed. He answered them, he that made me whole. The same said unto me, take up thy bed and walk. And he that was healed, wist not who it was for Jesus had conveyed himself away.

A multitude being in that place. Afterward, Jesus findeth him in the temple and said unto him, behold, thou art made whole, sin no more. Hallelujah. Now that's what Jesus said. Do you believe he meant it?

Do you believe he meant it? If he didn't mean it, well, we'll disband the conference. We've got no more business in this room now from this moment. If we don't believe that Jesus didn't mean it, and meant it because it must be true, and meant it because it must be possible, then, beloved, we're just a lot of self-deceived people.

If he was expecting that man to sin no more when he knew positively, well, it wasn't possible for the man to sin no more, then Jesus is, by inference, a liar. But the scripture says, yea, let God be true, but every man a liar.

That's right. Let God be true. He spoke from his heart. He spoke from the ground of truth. He said, go and sin no more. Bless him. Glory. And I want to tell you that it's only religion and religious notionists that want to stop it.

Because, you see, this man was in trouble straight away. He picked up his bed and walked, and everybody else thought he was in sin. It's, oh, it's a troubled day, boy. Come on, you see, you carry on your bed, but glory be to God.

He picked up his bed and he walked. Glory to the name of the Lord. And what had been the scene of his defeat, and what had been the bounds of his movement, his bed, well, he just picked it up and carried it away on his head or on his shoulder or something.

And that was wonderful. Go and sin no more, said Jesus. Hallelujah. I hope that that's light to your soul. I hope it is, for Jesus, as we know in this Gospel of John, he's entering into the darkness. And he's entering into the darkness as the light.

And what light must have dawned upon this man? Why? He says, go and don't sin anymore. And, you know, as soon as the man heard that, he went away and told everybody that it was Jesus. He knew that somehow he must have known that that's the way Jesus talks.

He didn't know him before that. But when Jesus said, go and sin no more, he said it was Jesus. Jesus made me whole. Praise the name of the Lord. I wonder if you can recognize Jesus by the words he speaks to you.

And has he ever spoken this word to you, beloved? Go and sin no more. I think that's precious. He's opened his heart. He shone light into the darkness. He's held up a great possibility for every one of us.

Jesus’ Command to the Adulterous Woman

And just to reinforce it, you will know that in the eighth chapter, the Lord Jesus says practically the same thing. He says to the woman that was brought to him there. In that eighth chapter of John, the record is when the woman was brought to him and she was a woman taken in adultery in the very act.

And there was no getting around it. They brought her to Jesus. And you know how he just stooped down and wrote on the ground as though he hadn't heard them when they were saying what they thought, thinking their thoughts about the Lord and how he was going to deal with this woman.

And at last, he got rid of all the accusers. Bless the name of the Lord. He's not going to have any accusation around. He's not going to have any condemnation around. Bless him. He's going to have us heart to heart and face to face with him.

And this is what he says. Hath no man condemned thee? Where are thy accusers, woman? No condemnation. Nobody to accuse. Hallelujah. This sounds like Romans 8 I'm reading. Who is he that condemneth? Who is he?

Where is the person that's going to accuse or condemn us? There isn't anybody about when Jesus is here. And he says to this woman, when she says there's no man, Lord, he said, neither do I condemn thee.

Go and sin no more. Hallelujah. Isn't this a marvelous thing? And I want to say this to you tonight, beloved, before we proceed any further. That in the lips and heart of our Lord, it doesn't matter who's here.

It doesn't matter whether you've got deep in sin. It doesn't matter whether you've drifted far away. If you've come here tonight and you're face to face with Jesus, the first thing he wants you to know is that he doesn't condemn you.

Amen. Not he. He's not going to be the offering for sin. He's not going to be the scapegoat and the judge and the jury and the accuser at the same time. He is not counsel for the prosecution. Blessed be the name of the Lord.

He just comes there, beloved. And he says, no, I don't condemn you. But what I won't allow is sin. Amen. God has not made allowance in his salvation. Later we'll come to it that he's made provision for sin.

But he doesn't in his approach and in the whole of the philosophy of God. As he approaches sin, he's made no allowance for sin whatsoever. Isn't that a precious thing? Ah, I think this is tremendous. It's absolute on God's part.

And here we come and we listen to the Lord saying to us, well, I'm not condemning you, but go and don't you sin again. Hallelujah. Good. Sin no more. I love that thought. This is Jesus then. He's quite clear.

He doesn't say, well, now go away and try not to be so bad as you used to be. He doesn't say, well, now look, what I'll agree to do is forgive you for all the sins you've committed, but I quite understand you must go on sinning in the future.

But don't worry. I've got a provision for this. Does that sound like God to you? I mean, is it common sense? Does it sound like God, that kind of talk? The whole glorious truth is, he says, now you go and sin no more.

And I believe, beloved, that in his heart he's expecting a response from our hearts tonight. The cubs ride up to him on this level. Oh God, I don't want to sin against you anymore. I don't want to sin against you.

Isn't that a marvelous thing? When God does this tremendous thing. I've got a friend and he was invited a week or two ago, you know, August is the month for camps and I don't know what they don't have conferences, holiday conferences, camps and one thing and another.

I tell you what, I don't know whether anybody's ever heard of a conference of God's people, a holiday conference camp ever being burned to the ground and doing a million pounds worth of damage. Have you ever heard of one?

I never have. So I shouldn't go to these worldly camps. It's obviously the wrong place to go. It's obviously, I mean, people have only got common sense. They need never go wrong, you see. But I mean, what you've got eyes for is to see things.

And the Lord, he's dealing with this and he wants us to come into an understanding. And this friend of mine, he went to a holiday conference. He was asked at the last moment, I don't know whether chiefly it was because he's associated with me or anything like that, but they couldn't get anybody else.

But anyway, he went. And there was a whole group of people there, you know, usual things. They're out all day and they come home and have a meeting at night. I'm ever so glad that we like it a bit stronger than that, that we like at least two meetings a day when we're together.

But nevertheless, they were going out all day and coming home at night to the meetings and sat there and looked like pillars of salt or buckets of sand or lumps of jelly, all tired out, you know, often and listening to the message.

And about the second night, God began to take a hold in the place and the spirit of God started to move and the leaders of the camp came up to him and said, what's happening? We've never seen anything like this before.

We could never get them to sit still for 20 minutes. They've been listening to you for an hour, you see. And hallelujah, so the blessing came down from God. And on the last night of the camp, God moved down and oh, he did tremendous things.

Hey, everybody in that camp was reached by the power of God. And one young man got up to run out because of the power of God, was moving. He rushed out in the field and he'd got about 50 yards across the field and rushed back again.

He said, oh, I'm all clean. I'm all clean. What's happened to me? Amen. God caught him on the run. Whither can I flee from thy spirit? Hallelujah. It was marvelous. And people were saying, oh, I'm clean.

I'm free. My sin's gone. That's better than you. Well, I won't say. This is the vital thing so far as God is concerned, beloved. You and I know what God is about in our lives. He must deal with sin in every one of us.

And would God that this was the thing that was being dealt with for this. I find to be the tragedy in so many people's lives that say they are baptized in the Holy Ghost and I meet them and they've got such dreadful sin in their lives and they've never known what it is to have a pure heart within them.

Truly, they can speak in another tongue and all sorts of things like that. But to sit and talk with them and listen to them sometimes, beloved, as though they were pulling the lid off a sewer and it had never been dealt with.

Never, never, never leaves me gasping and asking what kind of a baptism in the spirit they had. Because the problems of sins have never been dealt with. Something comes over the top of something that's left down there, a horrible pit, a terrible mess, a twist and a perversion, habits that have never gone, being there since childhood, so many of them.

Things, oh, beloved. This is why we're getting a multiplicity of the doctrine of deliverance. Because people are never dealt with before ever the Holy Ghost comes to them. This is why we're needing so many deliverance people in these days.

I testify to you truly from decades of experience. Oh, hallelujah. There's something wonderful. You know, I'd like to get dad Moffat up on his feet, testifying what God did to him when he baptized him in the spirit.

I heard him declared at New Year. I thought it was the most one of the most wonderful testimonies I've ever listened to. As clear as a bell, as sound as the music of heaven, like the sweet running water down the golden street came the message of what God did to him when he baptized him in the Holy Ghost.

Praise the name of the Lord. All this great work of God the Son and God the Holy Ghost is primarily to deal with sin. The rest he will give as addition. Bless him. But who wants the additions on top of a basic foundation that's rotten?

Bless the name of the Lord, he says, go and sin no more. Amen. Praise him. Are you ready to receive the word of God? This is the attitude of Jesus. This is what Jesus has to say. Beloved, it is true. He died on the cross that the Holy Ghost might come, but he died on the cross to get rid of sin before the Holy Ghost came and the business of the Holy Ghost is primarily to deal with sin.

Amen. And what a blessed thing it is. I think we'll go from there to see what Paul has to say about it. It's great to find out what these men that knew said. Of course, we'll go to Romans six where we've already been together.

Where else can you go? But to the chapters where it is written and Paul said in the Roman letter these wonderful words. Oh, hallelujah. Let's start, shall we? In verse 17. God be thanked, he said, that you were the slaves of sin, but you have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you being then made free from sin.

Did you ever come to a place in your life where you obeyed from the roots of you and brought no excuses for yourself or your conduct or your language, who or what you are or where you've come from or what you're doing?

Have you ever come from the roots of you in a complete obedience to a point where you know you've been made free from sin? I'm adding nothing to the scripture and taking nothing away. That's what the Bible says.

And woe be unto those who add to the scripture or take away from the scripture on these vital doctrines, these vital things. It's plainly written. When you obeyed from the heart, if you've never come to a place in your life where you've been made free from sin is because you've never obeyed from the heart.

This was the great thing that Jesus said when he was on the earth. This was one of his great complaints. Only he never complained in the voice of a curmudgeon. He never growled and groaned and muttered from a twisted spirit, but he did have some words of complaint.

And one of the words of complaint he said was this concerning certain people in his day and generation. When he was on the earth, he said, these people honor me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

That's right. It isn't lip service. He doesn't want us to pay honor to a notion of a great sacrifice or even a great truth. He wants us to obey from the heart. Oh, God, it's precisely because men and women don't accept it with all their hearts.

It's because they have reservations. It's because they've made excuses for themselves. It's because they've got chips on their shoulders. Some psychiatrists or psychologists have told them it's their mother's or their father's fault or their environment or something like this.

Here comes that dread thing that's damning our generations. When a man or a woman is sick to death with his sin, when a man has come to an end of himself, when he wants to finish, finish, like the cry on the lips of Jesus, and he comes from his heart and he says, oh, God, oh, hallelujah.
