The Way the Truth the Life - Part 3 — George Warnock

The Word Taught by the Holy Spirit

Well, our only purpose in gathering together unto Him is that He might be glorified, that He might be exalted, worshipped, praised, lifted up. And so once again tonight we trust that even as you have been singing praises to His name, there will be a word that will help you not only to sing His praise, speak of His glory, but to become His praise.

That we should be, Paul said, appraised unto Him in the earth. We, appraised unto Him, which is higher than just praising Him. In our actions, our works, our deeds and all that we do ought to be appraised unto Him.

We should be to the praise of His glory, we who trust Him first in Christ. I don't really come with a prepared message per se. I look into the Word and have some thoughts and trust that the Lord will put them together as a living Word.

And so the Apostle Ryan to the Corinthians mentions something like this, that the wisdom that God gives us, he says, which things do we speak? Not in the words which man's wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Spirit teaches.

And so it's so essential that we seek the Lord that it might be words not of man's wisdom, but which the Holy Ghost teaches, words which He gives. Paul had said that there in his letter to the Corinthians.

And he had come from Athens not too long before where he had prepared a text as he saw the idolatry in the city and he was invited to come and speak. And he appointed a day up there in Mars Hill. Because the Athenians were a knowledge-seeking people, always looking for more wisdom and knowledge.

So here's a man that had strange things and he said, well, we'll give you a day and you come and tell us what you're trying to explain to us. So they appointed him a time and Paul preached a very eloquent sermon.

And he gave it the title, To the Unknown God. Because he had seen that sign all over the streets of Athens, names of different gods and idols. And then here was one poster or whatever you call it, To the Unknown God.

In case they missed somebody, some god, they put up another little idol or whatever, To the Unknown God. So Paul took that as his theme and he explained to them that the god who is unknown to them, he knows them.

He was very eloquent and I don't doubt God gave him those words and all that. But there didn't seem to be much effect on the people from it. And some said, well, we'll hear you again about this, Paul.

Thanks for coming and all. Maybe another time like this. I think there's something there that discouraged him a little. So he says, When I came to Eucharist, I came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.

But I determined not to know anything among you save Jesus Christ and Him crucified. And he emphasized that. That's all that counts. That's all that matters. Jesus Christ and Him crucified is the wisdom of God, which he says, I know it's foolishness with men, but unto us which are saved, it is Christ, the power of God, the cross.

Christ, the power of God and the wisdom of God. So there's a wisdom, there's a hidden wisdom, which none of the rulers of this world also have known. For had they not, they would not have crucified the Lord of Lords.

I think he's not only referring to earthly rulers, but rulers in the spiritual realm. Had they known the power of the cross and what would come as a result of the cross, they would not have crucified the Lord of Glory.

But as He was crucified there in the cross, His powers in the heavenly places began to be shaken. They were shaken and they were losing their power at the cross. Don't forget that. Not at His resurrection, at the cross.

He destroyed principalities and powers and made a show of them openly, triumph over them in His cross. Certainly He was triumphant in His resurrection, but the victory was accomplished at the cross. And so we glory in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ.

God forbid we should glory in anything else. Saying in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, Paul said, By whom the world is crucified unto me and I unto the world. Two things happened there. We emphasize that one thing.

That He was crucified for me. But Paul said at the cross, I was crucified. By that cross, I was crucified. The world was crucified unto me. And I was crucified as far as the world was concerned. And the world unto me.

God's judgment of sin and God's judgment of this whole world system took place at the cross. And He arose triumphant, victorious. But before He died, He had such confidence and assurance that He had done the will of God.

That He was going to the cross in the will of God. He was able to say before. He hung there in the cross, I have overcome the world. Not to be afraid, I have overcome the world. For the Lord, He is the overcomer.

I know I mention this a lot. That He who is King of all kings and Lord of all lords is seen as the triumphant one in the heavens. As a Lamb that was slain. He overcame by the cross. As a Lamb that was slain.

We can't understand that. We think of that as a place where God manifested His love. Certainly. It is the outflow of the love of God that sent Him to the cross. Do we always realize that at the cross He triumphed?

He was victorious. He displayed openly. In the heavens, the defeat of the principalities of power. God forbid that we should try to use eloquence or wisdom of man to try to portray the wisdom of God. In any words that we have.

Any words that we have mastered can't help. No sort of delight in hearing eloquent words. But it doesn't really touch the heart. As that word will when there are words which the Holy Spirit speaks. Not in words which man's wisdom teaches.

Which the Holy Spirit teaches. Comparing spiritual things with spiritual. I think the word comparing doesn't just mean here's a Bible, here's another book. I compare the two. But it has more of the thought I'm told of a combination of one with the other.

Combining spiritual with spiritual. And so God, the great Spirit who inhabits eternity. Has condescended to put His Spirit in us. That there might be in us something that relates to what's in the heart of God.

Otherwise we know nothing about God. With a natural mind. A natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness and vanity. But we've got natural minds but He's put His Spirit within us.

Where we have a spiritual mind. And so God is able to relate to us. As He takes the things of heaven and joins it to the portion of the Spirit that's in us. So that we use the expression often times deep, call upon the deep.

Tribulation and the Deep Cry of the Spirit

Over those great depths of there are gods. Crying out for that depth that He's put in us. Sometimes it's very shallow. So what God does is He takes a person through hard times. Difficulties. Tribulations.

Testings. To bring about that heart that will cry out for Him. I used to wonder about that expression, deep calleth unto deep. At the noise of thy waterfalls, David said, deep calleth unto deep. And then I looked it up and read further.

All like billows have gone over me. And then I realized that David went through deep waters and billows went over him. And so much that many times he thought it's all over. But God was preparing him by those billows for that deep calling unto deep.

To put in David something that would cry out unto God. God wants that people to cry out unto Him. He likes to hear that cry because there's something in the heart of God that cries out for you. We often think, well I'm nothing, why would God want me?

And we sometimes even demean ourselves, you know, I'm nobody. And that's true enough, I'm not denying that. I'm nobody. But God chooses the things that are nobody's. The base of this world, the things that are despised and rejected.

And then Paul went a step further. He gave the things that are nothing. He chooses to bring to nothing the things that are. God's going to bring to naught, you know. This whole world system, He's going to use people that are nothing.

To bring to nothing the things that are. Talk about the wisdom of God. So He says, don't glory to man, don't glory to yourself. I mean, it's all coming down. God's going to bring down the glory of man.

The pride of man. He's bringing it all down. That's what the day of the Lord is all about. He'll bring to naught the wisdom of man. Stain, the prophet says, stain the pride of all glory. So we don't anticipate all the suffering and the chaos that's going to come in the earth.

But when it happens, God's got a hiding place for His people. And it's not by God taking us up in the clouds. I know that happens. But I wish people who would quote that would read when it happens. It's the last trumpet, not the first one, nor the second, nor the third.

It's the last trumpet. The victory has been accomplished by the Lamb ruling on the throne. Destroying all His enemies and the last trumpet takes place. Not the first one. It's so clear. And yet, you don't quote that and go, don't you know we're going to be taken up with the Lord in the last trumpet?

Yeah. The last one. There's many trumpets to be sounded. And there's a feast called the Feast of Trumpets. There's a special time when the trumpets would be blown to call the people of God to come together to keep the feasts of the Lord.

And Day of Atonement, Feast of Tabernacles. There's a feast called the Feast of Trumpets. God is blowing the trumpets. And I believe He's going to cause a clear sound to go forth. I believe He'll be faithful before the end to send forth a clear word.

Not denying there's some clarity coming forth, but there's so much mixture that people don't know what to believe. God's going to send forth a clear word. God raises up a clear voice in times of apostasy.

People say, don't you know the church is going to be apostate in the last days? Yes. That's why in the last days God's going to have a clear word. He always raises up a clear word in the time of apostasy.

That's why He raises up prophets. Because the hearts of men become alienated from Him and God prepares someone, a voice, to stand up in that hour with a clear word. Israel was apostate, very apostate.

Samuel and the Prophetic Voice in Apostasy

The religious system was apostate. In the days of Eli the priest, he made his sons priests. Well, he inherited it. But their hearts were not priestly. They were capitalist, full of wickedness. Eli, I think he tried to remedy the situation, but he couldn't do it.

He was hopeless. He reproved his sons a little, but it fell on deaf ears. And God was working all the time this was going on. He was preparing something. He prepared it before He manifested it, many years before.

And He chose His handmaiden, Hannah. He loved Hannah. But He kept her barren, which was a shame in Israel, not to have children. He kept her barren because He loved her. God wanted to be glorified. And so He kept her barren, and in her barrenness she would cry to the Lord, God, why have you kept me this way?

My adversary there, she's always making remarks about my barrenness. And she's got many children. And I don't have a son, and I want a son. And she went on like that for how many years, I don't know. One time they were up there keeping the feast, and she sat there on a bench there by the tabernacle.

Her head sat, her face sat, and her lips moved in a little bit. And Eli was watching her lips move in, but not making any sounds. He says, lady, put away the wine, this is no place to be drunken. She says, no, my Lord, I'm a woman of a greed, a heavy spirit.

And then he realized his mistake, and he says, go and ask your request. Now that was a very eloquent prayer. That was an eloquent prayer. Because she followed that by saying, Lord, you give thy handmaiden a son, and I'll give him back to you.

All the days of his life he's simply yours. And I believe God's waiting for that kind of a commitment. Oh Lord, we need you, we need your presence, we need your power. We need your mighty gifts in our midst, functioning in the power of the Spirit of God.

But so far there's been too much glory in what God gave me, you know. God gave me this gift. She never got the answer to her prayer until she said, Lord, you give me a son, and I'll give him back to you.

He'll be yours. And I believe that God is pleased when he said, Lord, we must have whatever it is we need. But Lord, if you grant it, Lord, it'll be yours, it won't be mine. Because if we are slaves purchased by the Lord, redeemed, and bought, and are his possession, no matter what we have in our hands that's not ours, if we belong to him, certainly everything we have belongs to him.

Not your 10%. No. Oh, that 10 of God's? No. 20 No. 30? 40? 90? No. 100%. It's all God's. You're not a true servant. It's all his. But then you're a steward of what God's given you. And you must know the Lord's will in all that you do.

Knowing it's all his. Hannah kept her promise when the son was born. She took him up there to the temple to dedicate him and left him there. Finally, when he was weaned, left him there. He'd go up annually, a seared little son, once a year.

Take him under his coat. That'd be pretty hard, wouldn't it? She made a vow, I'll do it, Lord. I must have the son. Now, God was overshadowing all that because God was going to do something special. With that special son.

There he was, growing up there in the religious era of his time. Which had become very corrupt. There he was, growing right up under Eli. And Eli's heart and ears had become dull of hearing. God spoke to little Samuel.

Samuel, so he runs to Eli. He knew no other voice but that. And he'd hear that voice often. Little lad there in the temple, helping the priest. Samuel, you know the story. Went, no one else. Eli said, I wasn't talking to you.

Went back, went back. He heard the voice again. Samuel, Samuel. Oh, he is calling me. He said, you did call me. No, this time. I know you called me. No, no, my son. Three times. By that time he realized.

God must be talking to him. And he didn't know it because he didn't know God. So Eli said, now the next time you hear that voice. Say, speak Lord for thy servant heareth. In plain English. Speak Lord for thy servant is listening.

He that hath an ear. Let him hear what the Spirit is saying. But are you listening? Let us learn to listen. Let us learn to hear. God has a way of bringing us to that. We talked about it a little this morning.

When we are committed to him. God pierces our ear like a servant. Who has become a slave in Israel and released. In the seventh year. If he wanted to stay a servant of this man whom he loved. Then he would take him to the door post of the house.

And put his ear through with an awl. Signifying my ear is pierced. To hear only the voice of my master. All the rest of the days of my life. David said, my ear has now opened. And a marginal reference is, my ear of God is pierced.

I think it's referring to that piercing. And so it was that our Lord Jesus. Came into the earth with his ear pierced. By the Lord. Here would be one who would hear the Father's voice. But he'd be tempted in that ear.

We think of the Lord Jesus as one who could not be tempted. But he became a man that he could be tempted. In all points like as we are yet without sin. And you know the story of the temptation that he went through.

His ear was pierced. Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. No other voice will I hear but your voice. And that's the commitment that he carried with him all through his days of ministry in the earth. Learning obedience.

Here on this planet learning obedience. Not because he was disobedient. But because he had come into a realm where obedience was required. He was Lord of all in heaven. He wouldn't learn obedience there.

He was Lord. But he came to the realm of a bond slave. Took upon the form of a bond slave. That he might learn obedience. God most high hung himself to become a bond slave. For the redemption of mankind.

And so Samuel went back to bed. And again the voice, Samuel, Samuel. Speak Lord, I'm listening. And God began to talk to him. What he was going to do. He was going to do a great work in Israel. He was going to deal with the priesthood.

God says the things that I will do. The ears of both of those that hear will tingle. The thing that I'm going to do is so drastic. I'm going to deal with this priesthood. Let me tell you, God was concerned about an earthly priesthood.

An earthly priesthood back there. Which was only in titan's shadow. God was concerned about it. Don't you think God was concerned about this holy priesthood in the earth. Which came about because of his redemption.

Making us all to be kings and priests unto God. God was far more concerned than this priesthood than he was in that. And he's going to raise up that voice. Such as Samuel has. Clear voice from God. You say, you know, well the prophet.

Yeah, he's a prophet. I think he missed it, you know, here and there. And so and so. I think he's a real prophet. But you know, all prophets will make mistakes. We know that. They'll make mistakes. But the word that God put in Samuel in the Old Testament.

So clear. Not one word fell to the ground. Not one word. Not one percent. He spoke a clear word from God. Didn't mean he knew everything. He waited on God. He went up to one of the sons of Jesse the king.

He thought the first one would come up. Oh, this must be the one. God said no. He heard the word of God. It wasn't going to be presumptuous. Declare the first one of the second one to be the new king of Israel.

He waited for God. You know all that story, too. There were all the sons had gone by. They had to call the younger son out of the field, kenning the sheep. Gosh, this is the one. For by nature we would choose that which looks pleasing, that which looks strong, that which looks wise and powerful.

God doesn't choose as man chooses. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, saith the Lord, neither are my ways your ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are high above the earth, so are my ways above your ways, and my thoughts above your thoughts.

That's quite a difference, isn't it? The difference between the way you and I think of things and the way God looks at it. Big difference. How much difference? Heavens are above the earth. That's the difference.

The New Covenant Written on the Heart

And when we see God's ways and understand a little about it, we come to understand that. Oh God, you don't think we'll be readers. We don't think we'll be until our minds are renewed. I know God is going to do a great work in His people and He's going to renew the minds of His people.

The New Covenant, as I think I mentioned today, is not just Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts, Romans, 1st century, History, 16th century, and so forth. The New Covenant is this, saith the Lord, I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers when I brought them out of the land of Egypt.

Not like that one. Why? Wasn't it a good covenant? Yeah. Why isn't He going to make another one like it? Because they didn't continue in it. Well, then they might not continue in the New Covenant. It's different.

The New Covenant is different. The New Covenant is a writing on the heart, changing the heart. The Old Covenant was something that you read and try and obey. God said, this is the covenant I will make with them after those days.

I will write my laws in their hearts and in their minds I will write them. Wouldn't that be wonderful when God literally writes His desires in our minds? Indelibly writes it in our minds. The fulfillment of the New Covenant is, I believe, close at hand.

It's not totally fulfilled yet until God does that. That is the New Covenant. It's not fulfilled just because the canon of Scripture is completed. We thank the Lord for the Scriptures. Because the Scriptures there give us hope that God will not let one word fall to the ground.

When God speaks, not one word will fall to the ground as void, of no value, of no power. How important to hear the voice of the Lord. We want to hear from You, Lord. And I don't care whether it's in some humble soul sitting there in a congregation and I have a word from God and they stand, this is what God says.

Or some great prophet, it makes no difference. Because there's no great prophet except if the greatness of God is upon them. There's no great people unless God is great within them. Paul the Apostle, we say the great Apostle Paul.

Paul says, I'm nothing and Apollos is nothing. I planted, Apollos watered. God gave him the increase. So then neither is he that planted anything nor he that watered. They're just built with God. Enable them to do what's important is God to give them the increase.

Plant a seed, well, that's the job God gave you to do. Something comes along and waters it, well, that's part of God's plan. But neither one of those people are important except that if they walk in obedience, nothing matters except that God did it and God gave him the increase.

So then neither is he that planted anything nor he that watered but God did give us the increase. So we're judged for our faithfulness just to do what God wants us to do. It's not for doing as much as we can.

Do as much as we can, you know, I've got a short life to live and I'm going to cram in all the good works I can. And you can miss God, you can miss his purposes in that. We're here to do his will, I'm here.

Judgment, Works, and the Trial by Fire

And on Judgment Day, and this is the most awesome thing, he's going to judge us all according to our works. On Judgment Day when we stand before him, that day of Christ, the apostle encourages us to walk with God that we'll be able to rejoice in the face of judgment.

We stand before the Lord in judgment and our works are presented to him. And does he have a pair of balances there that sets it on there to see how heavy it is? No. Throws it all in the fire. Your works and mine, throws it in the fire.

Consuming everything that's wood, hay, and snow. Leaving the gold, the silver, the precious stone. I remember hearing this story, and I don't know who the man was, and I'm glad that I don't have to name anybody.

Time came, God says, I'm taking you. All that you've done in life has been wood, hay, and snow. The famous preaching of God help us to be ready for the fire. God put gold and silver within us, precious stones, because the fire is coming upon God's church.

The trials are coming, and those, before the day of the Lord, before the day when we stand before him, there's going to be a trial by fire. When God will try his people all over the earth, time of great trial for all those that dwell upon the face of the earth.

So we thank the Lord that now is the time to store up against the day of his judgment. Store up what? Love and mercy and truth. Because love and mercy and truth in his people is something that will survive judgment.

In fact, James says it boasts in the face of judgment. Because he's been merciful, loving, generous, walking before God in truth. Blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy. So God raised up a prophet in the midst of Israel's great apostasy, when God was so weary of it all, he said, I'm going to destroy that priesthood of Eli.

I'm going to raise up a new kind of priesthood. Samuel declared it. Eli had to urge him to tell him what his vision was, because he was just a boy who was afraid God was saying something to him. Samuel didn't want to tell him, but he told him.

Eli said, the Lord has said it. Let him do it, for some such reason. He was grieved, no doubt. Somehow, it seems that we have that kind of a ministry in the earth, so much of it. I think they love God, but their hearts aren't totally sold out to him.

Their ears have become dull with hearing, and they sort of give up, I can't do anything with this people. Many pastors are retiring and taking up secular employment, which is good. I think that's good.

I do. Enlisting younger people to come in and become ministers, and some of the older ones are taking sabbaticals, take a year off. They can't handle it. They just can't handle it. Because the people, they've hired you to do the job.

Now, we want you to give it to us. We want you to give us good sermons and good teachings, and marry our young people, and marry our dad, and visit the sick, and visit the hospital. We hired you for that.

Every Member’s Vital Place in the Body

And it's not God's way. God's way is that every member of the body of Christ will have a vital part to play. Vital in God's sight, maybe not in yours or in his, or in the eyes of men. Everyone has a part, and I think every one of us should earnestly seek the Lord.

Lord, I just want to know what you want me to do. Doesn't have to be great or wonderful in the eyes of men, but just be assured God wants you to do it. And it will be to the praise of his glory. For I do believe the time is at hand, where, as Paul said, writing to the cravesman, God giveth more abundant honor to those parts which lack, that there be no schism in the body, that the men might have the same care once or another.

I believe that's the time that's at hand, when God's going to begin to do that. Giving more honor to the one that doesn't think he has enough, doesn't have enough, feels incompetent, parts which lack.

Putting more abundant honor on, what does that mean? I don't know, but the honor of God, we don't have to know what it might mean. It'll be an honor from God on the nobodies in the church who love God and feel inadequate and insufficient.

I don't have anything to impart. Expect the Lord to put his honor there. Whatever's implied by that, it'll mean this, that people of God will be coming to you and saying, listen now, I sense that God's with you, he answers your prayers, you give words of wisdom, knowledge, or you pray for people and they get healed, you know, whatever it might be.

And guard against the thought, oh, I've got some great gift from God now, I'm going to go out in the ministry. God wants that right there in the local assembly. I don't think any other man or woman needs to worry about getting out in the ministry.

If you're walking with God, he'll send you out wherever he wants you to go. If you hear his voice, you don't need it. Oh, I've got a trial, I've got to go here, I've got to go there and do something for God.

Just do God's work right today where you are. Do his will. All he requires of any man, day by day. Insignificance it might seem in your eyes or in the eyes of your fellow man. God is going to see that true heart and he's going to begin to put some measure of honor upon it.

It'll be recognized by the rest of the body as being very essential, very vital. Why is there so much schism in the body of Christ? For lack of that. When he puts more abundant honor on the parts which are lacking, it's because he wants a people where there'll be no schism in the body.

There'll be no schism in the body because then the members will have the same care one for another. Every individual will have care for his fellow member in the body. Have powerful care. They'll have an administration of care.

So it's going to be very beautiful when we see that beginning to take place. Wouldn't be surprised it's happening here. Certain measures that God's putting on are different ones. Oh, I wonder if God's going to send me forth in a ministry.

Forget it. I mean, that's not the important thing. The important thing is to do God's will wherever you are. And sending forth in a ministry, that's the option of the Holy Spirit. Paul and Barnabas and James, a few other prophets and teachers were in the church at Antioch seeking God, praying, fasting, seeking the Lord.

Barnabas went down and found Saul, brought him up to Antioch to be with him, hunted him out. He knew that God's hand was on him. Saul had gone to work with his hands. But he had that mighty apostolic call.

You're wasting your time, Paul. No. He realized he had to go back to his trade. And God found him at the right time, sent Barnabas down, encouraged him, come back with him to Antioch, seeking the Lord together, praying, fasting, loving the Lord, you know, like you folks here.

Suddenly the Holy Spirit said, set apart Saul and Barnabas for the work whereunto you have called them. You know, no mission board. Put in your application if you want to go to the Philippines and you can flip it over.

Separate these Saul and Barnabas for the work whereunto you have called them. Then they didn't run the next day. They waited on the Lord some more, fasted some more, the right time, sent them forth. So we got churches that send forth missionaries.

And I'm not criticizing them. They seek the Lord. But it's so far from apostolic methods in most cases. Gotta qualify. Gotta be a certain age. Oh no, you're too old. 50 years or older is too old. Recently I was told a situation down in Toronto.

A man wanted to get into the ministry. Not missionary work, just get into the ministry. Oh yeah, 51. Well, sorry. 51, we we don't take anyone into the ministry at 51. God called Moses when he was 80. He said to me back there, aren't you going to the ministry?

I said, maybe someday. What are you going to do, when you're 80? I said, I don't know, Moses waited until he was 80. I know, not funny, but I think God has agreed many times that the the following in our own hearts to think that we can organize a crusade amongst Christians to reach the world for Christ.

Union With Christ and God’s Mission

God has a plan. He tells us what his plan is. When he has the people in union with Jesus as Jesus is in union with the Father the world will know that Jesus is the Son of God. That's why he puts his glory on his people.

I in them and thou in me that the world might know that the Father has sent me. We can't make that happen. Right. And so you'll do something that can happen. And it's not reaching the world for Christ.

I was the age of some of these young fellows here sat in the church powerful church there in Vancouver in those days evangelistic tabernacle and China had just fallen to the communists I forget, it was early 40s I think and there was sort of a lamentation amongst the ministry China is lost now.

China is lost and then in the process of time we better concentrate on India. Doors are still open in India. China, doors are closing. God closed the doors. Don't you know Jesus has the keys to open doors and to close them?

He's got the keys to open doors and close them. I think God closed the doors to ecclesiasticism in China that he might do a pure work in there. Great things are going on in China. After the missionary program stopped after, not during after the program stopped God began to do a work amongst the people which still goes on.

And then when the doors opened and had all excitement we can go and minister in China again. They should be coming over here ministering to the people here in Canada in the United States. There was one minister and I didn't hear this but someone told me he was a Chinese minister who ministered over what's that religious broadcast station called?

CBN or one of those things. A religious program is what they feature and they were interviewing this minister from China and he says now do you he talked about the work in China now have you got a word for the church in America?

He says yeah. God says the church in America is dead. But he says I will yet have a comfortable church in America. And after the program I get the one sponsoring the program says well we're certainly not dead here are we?

Oh no no praise God we've got life. Believe you know ask for a word doesn't work for America yet. No one will believe you. Jesus said that one of the churches you have a reputation you know of being somebody I don't know the exact words.

You think you're alive but you're dead. Strengthen those things which are almost dead lest they come and deal with you I forget what the phraseology is there. God looks upon the church of Laodicea the seventh church in the book of Revelation surely it must be this day and age that this is the last day and that's the seventh church.
