Sifting — Leonard Ravenhill

For giving your great love gift in Jesus Christ. Love so amazing, so divine. Lord as we sang this we thought that of the council chambers in eternity before even the world was created that you drew salvation's plan.

Your word speaks of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. We thank you that you multiplied grace. As your word says if you mark iniquity who would stand? If there was a cut off point most of us would have passed that point or got to that point before ever we responded to the call.

We have to say I had long withstood his grace, long provoked him to his face, would not hearken to his call, grieved him by a thousand falls. Depth of mercy, can there be mercy still reserved for me? Can my God his wrath forbear?

Me the chief of sinners spare. The Lord we thank you that you did. We're so worthless. Lord there's not much to us even when we're redeemed. We're so terribly limited. So finite before you one who is infinite.

So fallible against one who is so infallible. So weak against one who is the source of all power and all strength. We make our mistakes and miscalculations. But Lord we're glad there's no program of yours that has ever been aborted, ever been spoiled.

We know that your holy word says that you work everything after the counsel of your own will. We don't understand it, but Lord we thank you that even this day we've tasted of your grace, we've tasted of your mercy, we've tasted of your joy.

We thank you that you keep burning in our hearts the fact that even now in this wicked and perverse generation, even now we're the sons of God. It does not yet appear what we shall be, but this we do know that when we see him we shall be like him.

Lord that's incredibly glorious. That beggars our understanding. It would exhaust our vocabulary to try to describe it. We cannot do it. But Lord we worship you tonight. We bow before you. We thank you for the angels who have a continuous occupation, your word says in Hebrew there, that they cease not to worship him.

And we thank you that one day every knee shall bow. Every tongue, every system in this world is one day going to be purged, cleansed, there's going to be a new heaven and a new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness.

Lord we think of the vast cost of iniquity, the cost of maintaining armies, the cost of maintaining prison systems, the cost of other things that are here trying as it were to scrub a mud floor. They cannot change it.

It's changed only when Jesus Christ the son of God comes. But Lord we thank you that there's no despair in our vocabulary. The world seems to get dirtier every day. It gets more entangled every day. It gets more mysterious every day.

We hear men throwing up their hands and saying where should we go? To whom should we go? What should we do? But Lord we bless you for giving us the answer. We thank you we sang it tonight as Calper proved it in his own life.

There is a fountain filled with blood. We thank you the heat of the summer cannot dry it up. We thank you there's no way with that blood can lose its power. The blood shall never lose its power. Till all the ransomed church of God be saved to sin no more.

Then in a nobler sweeter song. Lord there's no way we can make a blind stab at that to understand it. The billions that have loved you and served you, died as martyrs, burned at the stake, even sing the praise of God.

People in Russian prisons tonight, people in the shot and shell and hell of Afghanistan. While their country is ripped and torn and yet they have a deep settled peace in their hearts. They've learned the hard way Lord.

There's nothing of any value in the material world. Lord don't let us have to learn it that way. Disenchant us if any of us are enchanted or mesmerized with the materialism of this world. God we pray bless your word to our hearts.

We thank you as one has said this book, this blessed book is a golden casket where gems of truth are stored. It is the heaven-drawn picture of Christ, the living word. Teach us more than more. Teach me, teach each of us day by day how to explore the possibilities of grace.

We thank you for giving us this blessed book. It's a map to guide us from earth to heaven. From the city of destruction round about us to the city of God. The city that has foundations whose builder and maker is God.

We thank you for that eternal kingdom. We thank you for the eternal son. And we thank you tonight in the small measure that we can comprehend we have eternal life. We're not the people used to be. Some of these precious men here had years of vanity and pride.

Vulgarity and sin they wouldn't even want to testify to openly in a crowd like this. And we know it's not necessary. But Lord we thank you your arm was long enough and strong enough to lift us, to reach us.

Your heart was big enough to embrace us. You didn't whip us, you didn't demand a certain price. We thank you we can come without money and without price. We can say, we could write over every jail, every divorce house.

We could write over it all what your holy word says. If any man being Christ is a new creation. We pray for the mysteries at this moment. At the other side of the world as the sun is setting here it's rising over there.

Make it a great day of advance in the kingdom of Jesus Christ. We pray again bless your word to our hearts. We thank you Lord it is manner to the hungry soul. We thank you it is meat that we can eat that the world knows nothing about.

We thank you it's the most refreshing things to our spirits. We could look around and get desperate and despairing but Lord we're looking unto Jesus the author and the finisher. We know that the destiny of this world is not in the hand of politicians whoever or whatever they are.

We thank you Lord you've given Jesus who is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last, the sentence, the conference of all the great plans and purposes of God. I don't wonder the psalmist says lift up your heads or ye gates.

I wonder what he would have said if he'd had the book of the Revelation to read. But anyhow I had some vision lift up your heads or ye gates and be lifted up the everlasting doors and the King of Glory shall come in.

Who is the King of Glory? The Lord strong and mighty. There's no weakness in thee. We bless you Lord. You never get baffled. Bless your wonderful name. So Lord I accept the worship of our hearts tonight and again we pray with the psalmist open our eyes that we may behold wondrous things out of thy law in Jesus name.

Peter, the Transformed Apostle

Thank you. Let's look in the first epistle of Peter chapter 1. I remember reading some years ago, I've no idea where I read it, that the sin of people in the Old Testament was to reject the Father. The sin of people in the New Testament to reject the Son and the sin of people today is to reject the Holy Spirit.

I think you're more correct to say we reject the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit today. What a wonderful book this is. Another old saint said I hope you like to read. I like to read. You know I've got two eyes, in case you don't know.

I've got two hands. I wish I could hold a book in this hand and one in this and read a different book with each eye. I might catch up with my reading but I don't think I'll do that. Reading will make a full man.

Prayer will make a holy man. And then when you come down to this and realize this great book. Temptation and experience will make a complete man. So here we are. First epistle of Peter, first chapter, first verse, first word.

Peter. Isn't that thrilling? Peter an apostle. Good night. If he could make it and become an apostle what about us? And he wrote this epistle in case you don't know an epistle is not the wife of an apostle.

Peter wrote this epistle. Isn't that amazing? I think of two things when I think of Peter. He was vocal. Do you know he spoke more to Jesus not only than any other disciple than all the other disciples put together.

And conversely Jesus spoke to Peter more to that one man than to all the other apostles put together. Peter an apostle sounds like a contradiction in terms. Let me go to my reference work here. Look at John chapter 6 verse 68 please.

Yeah gospel of John sorry. Chapter 6. I can't read it all but Jesus has been saying some very profound things here. Now look when he comes to verse 66 it says from that time many of his disciples. Notice it says disciples not apostles.

All apostles were disciples but not all disciples were apostles. We know John chapter 3 everybody knows that. But you have to read the end of the second chapter actually that there were many followers but they didn't believe in him.

But here it says from that time many of his disciples went back. That's bad. But this is what worse they walk no more with him. Though he's going to live for years and do the miraculous and prove he's the Son of God.

Yet somehow they got discouraged and they went back. Then Simon Peter answered and said to whom shall we go for thou hast the words of eternal life. And we believe and we're sure that thou art the Christ the Son of the living God.

Isn't that a wonderful statement. Now look at Matthew 16 and verse 16. Look at verse 13 sorry. When Jesus came into Caesarea Philippi he asked his disciples saying whom do the men say that I the Son of Man am.

They said some say thou art John the Baptist some say Elias others say Jeremiah or one of the prophets. He saith unto them but whom say ye that I am. He saith unto them who answers the crowd. No Peter saith.

He's always so vocal. He's vocal he's volcanic. But also he's very variable. There's nothing very stabilized about him. Simon said thou art the Christ the Son of the living God. And he said blessed art thou Simon bar Jonah for flesh and blood hath not revealed this unto thee but my father which is in heaven.

And I say unto thee thou art Peter upon this rock will I build my church. He wasn't Peter when Jesus found him. He was Simon. The very name Simon means shifty, undependable. If you take just a grain of ordinary sand look at it under a microscope.

It's got peaks in it like that and cavities like that. You can't build with it. But if you put it under pressure those peaks fit into those cavities. You get sandstone. When we lived in the city of Bath in England the Abbey there the foundation was laid in the year 444.

It's made out of stone that's cut out of the hills. And they saw it like they saw wood. It's sandstone. It's soft and yet it stood there for centuries. Jesus says thou art Simon. You're shifty. You're irresponsible.

But God's going to put him together. And you see that when it says Simon Peter an apostle. One of the great pictures, there was a great picture last week. You remember for 39 million dollars by the Japanese of all people.

Well they're the only folk with money. We gave them it. You Toyota people gave them it. But anyhow 39 million dollars. This week a man thought he had a Rembrandt that might bring him thousands of dollars.

And when they tested it was a fake. He got 25 for it. That's a bit of a letdown. I guess he visualized all the things he was going to buy with the thousands and he got nothing. One of the greatest masterpieces in the world.

I think it's in a cathedral now in Lisbon or Portugal or in Spain. It's the miraculous draft of fishes by who painted that? Any art critics here? Raphael. And when it was discovered they hung it in an exhibition hall and people came from the ends of the earth to see it.

They oohed and they aahed and they looked this way and looked the other way. You know you see somebody going to an art gallery and they go right up like this looking at the landscape. I often wonder what they're looking for.

Bugs or what? It's like the rich lady went to the Louvre in Paris and she went round with a log net. You know what a log net is? A pair of glasses on a stick. You know you see in the opera they carry them like this.

So she goes round and she's looking at all the pictures. Going out she said to the guard, the gendarme there, she said, I don't think much of your pictures. You say they're priceless. I don't think they're.

He said, lady, people coming in this room do not judge the pictures. The pictures judge the people. Sure she knew nothing, she knew nothing about art. And everybody gazed with wonder and adoration at this picture.

Miraculous draft of fishes. One day an Englishman, you know what rough men Englishmen are, by the name of Ruskin, he has two great volumes on art. And he went and looked and he began to laugh and the crowd thought it was irreverent.

What's wrong with it? Well, he said, sir, I was wondering what's right with it. Aren't the colors perfect? Aren't the proportions correct? Yes, yes. What's wrong with it? Don't you know? No. Do you? Yes.

Why? He said, where did it take place? On the Sea of Galilee or its old-fashioned name, the Lake of Gennesaret. Right. What's wrong? He says, what's the Dome of St. Peter's in Rome in the background for, when it took place a thousand miles away?

Number one, it's wrong. Number two, how many people are there in the book? Eleven. Well, read the story. It's only seven in the Bible. That's a second mistake. Number one, you've put it in an Italian setting.

And the second thing, you put the wrong number of people in the boat. Oh, by the way, the third one is, there's a man leaning over the boat there. He's got long lace cuffs, a lace collar around his neck.

Who's that? Oh, that's Peter. Did you ever try fishing with a lace collar and lace cuffs? You see, that's our idea of sainthood, you're to be dressed up. At one time, people said, you can't live in this wicked world, live in a monastery, live in a convent.

What happened? Well, all over Europe, people, when they were dying, left their vast wealth to the monasteries. And instead of being poor and having to sustain themselves, they became incredibly rich. All the show stuff that they had on the tables, the candlesticks were pure gold.

And everything that they used to despise, they began to love it. And the whole thing went rotten. You see, you don't have to wear a certain type of clothes. You're to be modest, for sure. You see, the idea is that Peter, of all people, he must be dressed up, he must be different from everybody else who is there.

So you have Peter, and Jesus says about Simon, that you will be Peter. You know, he lays so much stress on the power of the Spirit. In Acts 1 -8, you shall receive power. But what's the testimony in Acts 15, 8 and 9?

Wasn't it Peter? Was it Peter giving a testimony in the house of Cornelius? What happened? He said, well, I'll tell you what happened. When the Holy Ghost came to the Gentiles, Acts 15, 8 and 9 says, and God, who knoweth the heart, bared them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us.

So people say, there you are, they spoke in tongues. It doesn't say that. You'll never find Peter backsliding after he'd been in the upper room. He warmed himself at a fire till he got the fire himself.

Once a man gets a fire in his own heart, he doesn't have to warm himself everywhere else. Once the Holy Ghost got hold of Peter and purified him, he becomes an apostle, a man of great authority, a man of...

The Gospel's Power to Transform Ordinary People

You know, there's a lot of humor in the Bible. I don't believe about cracking jokes in church, really. I get a bit humorous sometimes. I think jokes are out of place in a funeral parlor, aren't they? And most churches like a funeral anyhow, so why crack jokes?

I don't... And then you see Peter. Where did Jesus find him? Stinking of fish. He leaves his fishy business and writes two majestic epistles, two of the greatest books ever written in history, written by a man who's selling fish.

He finds John. What did John write? He wrote the most gorgeous thing ever written in English, somebody has said, or in prose. The epistle of John. Then the gospel of John, then the first epistle, then the second epistle, then the third epistle.

What did they say when he came from the upper room? Oh, beware of these men, they're unlearned and ignorant. Peter was one that was unlearned and ignorant. He wrote two great epistles. John wrote the gospel of John, the first epistle, the second epistle, the third epistle.

And to prove he was ignorant, he wrote the book of Revelation that baffles all the wise men. Even Jacob doesn't understand all of it, dear Jacob. He's two chapters to go, then he'll be through. But isn't it wonderful what God can do?

That was a miserable amen, who said it? You know, when Oliver Cromwell was dying, they backed him up in his canopy bed with pillows, and all the statesmen of England were gathered around the bed. They were looking sour.

He raised upon his elbow, he said, can't any of you praise God? He was dying. Can't any of you praise God? You know, there are some things we should be ecstatic about. There should be a perpetual halo around them, if you like.

Let me rush on here, if I can do that. Peter and the apostle Jesus Christ, two strangers scattered abroad throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, Bithynia, and Texas. That's the very latest version.

The very latest version. Well, aren't we strangers? Sure, good Lord, we're not home, are we? I remember once I went to a holiness rally, and boy, I thought, boy, it'll be tough preaching here. A girl came on the platform, this was 1952 or three.

Girls wore their skirts fairly short. This girl came with terribly short skirts. She did drops, as I call them, hanging on her shoulders, rings on her fingers, and bells on her toes, almost. And she sat there and shimmied in like these girls do.

She's singing, what in the world did you sing? This world, this world is not my home. I thought, well lass, where do you belong? You don't belong around here. This world is not my home. Aren't you going to straight to heaven with all your red drops and jewels and all the junk on?

This world is not my home. We're strangers here. Why do we expect such good treatment from a world? As I've asked you often, do you think you deserve better treatment than Jesus God? That world is as antagonistic to God.

I think one of the men mentioned that today, one of your friends. Jacob brings all his friends to our house for refreshments. But anyhow, they came today. One of the men said, how harsh he found the world, how difficult the world is.

It's never going to alter. It doesn't mean we throw our hands up because there's still an awful lot of work that God wants to do. Because Jesus deserves every tongue in the world, not to curse him, but to praise him.

It's going to be that eventually. Now the next verse, you can see my brother John there going out. He'll explain the next verse to you. Elect according to the foreknowledge of God. Through the sanctification of the Spirit and to obedience and sprinting of the blood of Jesus Christ.

Grace be unto you and peace be multiplied. Come on. Wasn't it a beautiful little American lady that wrote that? That Hemi, give us more grace when the burdens grow greater. You know, we want God to load us up.

He says, you get in the furnace, now deal with the rest. He's not going to put halos on us just for fun and make us feel good. All he's concerned about, in the language of another great Hemi, is my dross to consume and my gold to refine.

As I've said to you often, God is never capricious. God doesn't have to experiment with me. He doesn't have to prove me to himself. He has to prove me to myself. I've made such vows. I've made such declarations.

I've sworn publicly. I've sworn secretly. There's nothing you can ask too much. There's no burden too big you can give me. There's nothing you can ask that I will not sacrifice, visible or invisible. And the Lord says, I'll work it out.

So what does it say here? Grace and peace be multiplied. Verse 3, blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy, hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.

How much did you ponder that last week? I have a book called, I think it's the Gospel, The Gospels of Christ by, do you remember a writer, John, by the name of H. L. Shepherd, a Baptist? Do you have the book?

We should get one for my friend here if he needs help. You must get it honestly, Jacob. He says a phrase in there that really blessed me. He's talking about the, he's talking about the resurrection. He said, without, without the incarnation, the resurrection is impossible.

But without the resurrection, the incarnation is complete. This is the most amazing thing that ever happened. There were two men in England years ago, both had the same name, both were knighted by the king.

Sir Ambrose Fleming, one of them, both scientists, one of them said, the resurrection of Jesus Christ is the best attested fact in history. I want to preach one Friday night on these many infallible proofs.

What are the infallible proofs of the resurrection? I won't even give you a clue, but let me say this here. He's begotten us again unto a lively hope. How alive is the church? I believe, I don't like the word, I got excited.

I don't like the word exciting. You get excited at a football match. Inspiring is different. I think that's our territory. A lively hope of what? By the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. There's an old hymn that says, and we used to sing it Easter Sunday, today he rose and left the dead, and Satan's empire fell.

One of the great English preachers was J. H. Jowett. He didn't often get a week off, but when he did, a weekend, he said, I have to preach on Sunday. He said, I catch a train to London, which is about 150 miles from where he lived.

And he said, I go hear that giant of the English prophet, Dr. Parker. Well, personally, I tell you this, I do not like applause when preaching. I don't get it, but it's too much like the theater in a show.

I don't like it. But he said, I want one day, I was so tired, I was so worn out, I felt, Lord, if you'd just put your finger on me. And he said, I went to hear Dr. Parker preach. And he preached on the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

And he said, he did such a good job that those stuffy English people, when he said he lives, he said they stood up and applauded and applauded, as though it were something visible. The resurrection, what did they do with Jesus?

Put him in a tomb. What did they do with the tomb? Put wax around it to make it airtight. What else did they do? They put seals on it to say it was officially sealed. Then what happened? You've got Jesus lying there on a slab.

How did he rise from the dead? Oh, you say, on the day of Pentecost, Peter said that Jesus, whom he crucified, hath God raised up. But wait a minute, Jesus says, you don't take my life from me. Herod says, watch your step, I'll kill you.

He says, you can't. No man can take your life from you. I believe that's true of you and I, if we're in the will of God. I particularly like that when the plane's nearly turning over. I say, the Lord has the keys of death and of hell.

I'm, I'm, I'm preserved to the final moment that I'm useful to God. And after that, I don't want to stay around. My neighbor wants me to live a hundred years. Some days, sometimes he wishes I didn't, but anyhow.

You've got the stone. Every demon in hell is rejoicing. Jesus says, you won't take my life. I'll take it up again. Again, Peter says, God hath raised him up. Romans chapter 8 and verses, verse 16 says, the spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead.

So, in the resurrection of Jesus, you have the work of the Father, the work of the Son, and the work of the Holy Ghost. You've got a stone against, against the tomb. You've got wax to keep it airtight.

You've got sealers on it. You've got four quarts only and 16 soldiers. I'll tell you what, that poor old guy Herod, he had more faith than the disciples. Whoever guarded a dead man, I don't know till Roosevelt went to die.

Roosevelt died, you remember, under strange circumstances. And his grave was guarded for what, two or three years after he died. So, you've got the stone, you've got the wax, the seal, the soldiers. And I think Satan says, you know what, I've been trying for 33 years to beat this man and I can't do it.

I got him to myself in the wilderness for 40 days. I tempted him on every point, on pressures that Abraham never knew, and Isaac never knew, no one else ever knew. I tempted him on all points. I tempted him as a man.

I tempted him sexually. I tempted him mentally. I tempted him on every level and I couldn't move him. I've lost every round. This is my final chance. So, you've got the stone and the wax and the seal and the soldiers and all the demons.

Satan says, think of something. One says, your excellency, I think the best thing for us to do would be to roll all the sin of the world against the stone. All the iniquities of all the tribes that ever were, the Amalekites, Perizzites, put all the sin of the world against that stone.

Now you've the sin of the world, you've the stone, you've the wax, the seal. Anything else? Well, I think maybe it possibly would rise from the dead. Well, I'll tell you what I think. Well, come on now, we've got, we've got him sealed, we've got everything against him there.

Every accumulated billions of sins are against that stone. Because we're not, he died for our sins but he rose for our justification. I need more than being salvation, I need justification and sanctification.

Well, what do you say to every demon? Put your shoulder to the stone. So, you've got the stone, the wax, the seal, the soldiers, millions of sins and demons that we can't count the number of. And Satan says, all right, hold it there.

And he goes down, 30, count 30. And he goes down, he gets to 9, 8, 10, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and suddenly bursts out. And all hell trembles. And every angel has a jubilee in heaven. He's accomplished the thing he came to do.

He came to die for our sins and rise for, and today he rose and left the dead and Satan's empire fell. What did he, what did he do? I love the old, it's a good English hymn, you know. Death cannot keep its prey, Jesus my, low in the grave he lay.

Death cannot keep its prey, he broke the power of death and of hell. I like to tease people someday when they talk about the gifts of the Spirit. I say, there are no gifts of the Spirit. No gifts of the Spirit, no.

Why? Because the Word of God says, or let me skip a minute here. How many of you have read Oswald Chambers? A number of you have, I suppose. He often talks about the Holy Spirit being the executive of the Godhead.

There are no gifts of the Holy Spirit. What do you mean? Because the scripture says, Jesus led captivity captive and he gave gifts unto men. The Holy Spirit distributes those gifts. Just like a lawyer comes and reads out and says, you've inherited this, you've inherited that.

The old hymn we used to sing as children, I was mystified by this, still am of it. The purchase of thy death divide, give me with all the sanctified the heritage of love. You remember what Paul said, standing before a gripper?

The work of the ministry. Every minister should read this on his knees with tears every week of his life. At least I think he should. He said, God call me one day to be a minister of the gospel. And this is your charter, this is your mandate from the skies, from the eternal one.

What is your job? To undo heavy burdens and let the oppressed go free and break every yoke. Or literally in that chapter there, he said, the minister has to do what? Turn people from darkness to light, from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among them that are sanctified by faith in me.

The church we live in today is an underprivileged church. Why? Because we don't preach this. Brother said today in your presence, in my office there, that he goes to churches where they preach salvation, but they don't preach the Lordship.

Well a man cannot be saved without the Lordship of Jesus Christ. It's our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. If he isn't, if he isn't Lord of all, he isn't Lord at all. He has to have every part of me. As David says so often, it took him a long while to settle down about the issue about being a Christian.

He didn't want to surrender his life. He planned his career to have a, to have his own, what do you call it, art studio. And that, he battled with that for three years. I can't just bring my dirty sins, I've got to give him my life, my future, my talent.

I have to put it all there and say, here you are. In the hymn we love, I lay in dust, life's glory dead. And from the ground there blossoms red life that shall endless be. Well, where do we get Jesus?

Risen. Don't you think you had a great time in heaven? You all look so sad tonight. What's happened? You lost your wage? What's he going to give us? Well, let me read it from the book. You don't seem to believe me.

Let me read it here. He's begun us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. To what? Listen. To an inheritance, number one, incorruptible, that's beyond the reach of death.

Number two, undefiled, that's beyond the reach of sin and that fadeth not away, beyond the reach of time. I've got an inheritance. Some of you look bankrupt tonight, God bless you. I've got an inheritance, incorruptible, beyond the reach of death.

Undefiled, beyond the reach of sin. It fadeth not away. Oh, I have to give up so much. All you give up is hell. I had a man singing for me. I did a meeting once in that great church in Canada for Job.

What's his name? The old doctor. Oswald Smith. He said, that's the best revival we've had in 30 years. I want you to come back and we'll have the auditorium every night. We've seized over 2 ,000. We'll take the main hall in town every Sunday night, if you come for a month.

But the deacons came up and said, no sir, we don't want that money. Treads on our toes. I talked about carnality too much. They didn't like it. But we have an inheritance, incorruptible, that undefiled, that fadeth not away.

Isn't that good? Finally I got a yes. Thank you. It's like auctioneering to a deaf and dumb crowd. An inheritance. Get up in the morning, sir, I have an inheritance, incorruptible. Maybe this is the day I'm going to inherit it.

The Inheritance Reserved in Heaven

Or have you too much baggage down here? Huh? What is it? Too much stuff down here? Let's finish the verse here, verse 4. Reserved in heaven for you, who are reserved in heaven for you. David won't remember.

Well, he remembers when we lived in Ireland. We lived in part of an old mansion or castle, something called it. Down the road there was a lord by the name of Lord Belmore. He was a huge guy. He must have weighed about 300 pounds.
