Jesus First doctrine was Ye Must Be Born Again
Brian Kocourek
John 3: 1-8, 1
Peter 1:22-23
(read) Let's us bow our heads in prayer…
This Morning I would like to refresh our minds to
where we left off before I left for
We spoke on Romans 8:16 and showed where man has always erred
concerning this scripture, thinking that it spoke of his own spirit bearing
witness of his own Christianity, and his own relationship to God. That is where
so many have fallen so short. They stop right there, and never consider that
this scripture does not at all speak of your own spirit bearing witness with
God's Spirit, but it says, His Spirit, THE Spirit
Itself beareth Witness with our
spirit that we are sons.
We showed the argument that
Jesus had with the Pharisees concerning whose children they were. They claimed
God as their Father, but Jesus told them just because they claim it does not
make it so. He told them, if they had been God's children, God would have born
witness to their son-ship by manifesting His own Life in them, and through
them. He said, if god were your Father, your life would bear witness of his
Spirit in you doing the deeds He would
do, and Saying the things he would say.
Remember, Jesus could do
nothing until the Father showed Him first. His Words were not his Own, His
actions or works were not his own, nor did He speak His own doctrine, and
neither did he exercise His own will. He said, "It
is written in the book, I have come to do thy Will of God". Therefore, Jesus told the Pharisees, they
could not be from God because if they had been God's Seed, then God would have
born witness with them and through them for they would have manifested God in
their lives, as being their Father. And yet he said, they were not without a
witness as to who their real father was. For he said they did the deeds of
their real father, the devil.
JOHN 8:44 Ye are of [your]
father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer
from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in
him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the
father of it. 45 And because I tell
[you] the truth, ye believe me not. 46 ¶
Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not
believe me? 47 He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear [them]
not, because ye are not of God.
Now, we were speaking of
God's Spirit bearing witness to our own spirit, that we are His sons. It is
God's Spirit that we are concerned with. We find John also speaking of this
witness of THE Spirit. He says, in I JOHN 5:6b And it is The
Spirit that beareth witness, because The Spirit is truth.
7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the
Holy Ghost: and these three are one. 8 And there are three that
bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these
three agree in one. 9 If we receive the witness of men, The witness of
God is greater: for this is The witness of God which he hath testified
of his Son. 10 ¶ He that believeth on the Son of God hath The
Witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because
he believeth not The Record (Witness) that God gave of his Son. 11 And
this is The Record (Witness), that God hath given to us eternal life,
and this life is in his Son. 12 He that hath The Son hath life; [and] he
that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
Therefore we are talking
about the Witness in us. A new birth, a new Life. God-Life.
YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN 61-1231M 28 I want to take the subject this morning of Jesus' first
doctrine. The first doctrine of Jesus was, "You Must Be Born Again."
That was His first doctrine… 29 And we find out that there is so many
different meanings that people put to it. Nearly all churches say that you must
be born again, but each one has their different interpretations to that, what
it means to be born again. I might go to the Methodist church this morning;
they say, "We believe that you must be born again." How do you
interpret it? I go to the Baptist church, "And we believe you must be born
again." How do you interpret it? And I would go to each church, and we'd
find, if we went to all the nine hundred different denomination of churches,
there'd be nine hundred different interpretations. So seeing that there is so
many different interpretations, and yet a Bible doctrine, there must be, and
is, a truth somewhere. 64 Now, there is approach to this birth. And
to approach this birth, you have to go through a process, just like anything
that lives. Anything that lives again has got to die first. And you cannot
keep your same spirit. You cannot keep your same habits. You cannot keep your
same thoughts. You got to die. You've got to die like He died. You got to
die on His altar, like Abel did with his lamb. You got to die with your Lamb. You
got to die, die to your own thinking to be born to His thinking. Let the mind
that was in Christ be in you. You got to think His thoughts. And now,
brother, sister, let me say this as intelligent as I know how to say it. How
can you think His thoughts and deny His Word, and yet claim you're born again?
Just ask yourself that question. How can you do it? You can't. If you're
born again, you got His thoughts. If the mind of Christ is in you, then you are
a new creature. The Bible teaches that. And if any brother would like to,
where you find that creature, look that word "creature" up in the
Lexicon, and you'll find out that the word "creature" there is
interpreted or translated, "a new creation," because you are a one
creation, a human being born in sexual desire here on earth, and now you're a
new creation born by Spirit. Your own thoughts are dead. They're so dead
until they're crystal like the brass serpent, or like He died when the heavens
and earth and everything witnessed He was dead.
JOHN 1:12 But as many as received him, to
them gave he power (The ability to make a
right decision) to become the sons of God, [even] to
them that believe on his name: 13 Which
were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man,
but of God.
Revelation Chapter 4 PT 2 24 ELDERS 61-0101 244 And when He said, "Repent, and be
baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ," He didn't mean Father, Son, Holy
Ghost. He meant just what He said. When He said, "You must be born
again," He didn't say, "You ought to be." He said,
"These signs shall follow them that believe." He never said,
"Maybe they will." He says what He means. And He's God and
He can't take it back. He knows what's perfect, so He makes it that way, and
that's the way He intends it to be, and
you have to come up to that, not Him come down to your idea, you got to come up
to His idea. That's the difference.
Now, we're speaking of God's Spirit bearing
witness to our own spirit, that we are His sons. And John tells us that we will
have This Witness in us, because it is God's Own Spirit-Life living and abiding
in us, even as this witness, this God-Life lived and abode in God's Only
begotten Son. Remember, The word witness breaks down into two parts. The first
part deals with observation and presence. You observe by seeing; you observe by
hearing; or you observe by feeling. But regardless of what sense is involved,
you have got to be there in order to be a true witness.
And we see this in the first
Psalm. PSALMS 1:6
For the LORD knoweth the
way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish. Now, let's break this down to show you how it
is that the Spirit of God beareth Witness with our own Spirit that we are sons.
We shall look at the first
part of this Psalm in dealing with sons. The
LORD (knoweth) the
way of the righteous: This word knoweth is
the Hebrew Word yada', meaning to
know or make oneself known in a personal way. To watch over.
Therefore we can see that the Lord
actively watches over the way
or (the course of life) of the
righteous and makes himself known to them, and thus knows them in an
experiential way.
But let's see now the way
the Lord deals with the ungodly. Psalm continues by saying, but the way (the course of life) of the ungodly shall perish. The ungodly speaks of a people who are
destined for judgment. They are called ungodly, which means they are not
God-like. The word perish used here is the Hebrew word 'abad, and
it means to be given up as lost, to be left to themselves and thus to stray.
Therefore we can see that God takes a personal interest in His own Children,
but He leaves the ungodly to themselves, knowing that they will stray and be
lost.
Now, you might be thinking,
this scripture speaks of the righteous, it doesn't say anything about these
righteous are God's children. Well,
let's see what else God's Word says about that. I
JOHN 2:29 If ye know that he is
righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him. Now,
notice it tells us that a righteous God will have children that do
righteousness. And if they do righteousness, then they are righteous as we see
in 1 John 3:7 Little
children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous,
even as He (GOD) is righteous.
Now, we were speaking of the
first part of being a true witness, is that you must be present to observe. And
we saw in the case of God's Spirit bearing Witness to our Spirit, if He is to
be a True witness, then He must be present to observe, and we saw that He is
not only their to observe, but actually takes an active participation in our
lives.
Now, the second part to
being a true witness is the telling or testimony part. This can be done using
three different methods. You can testify by spoken word; you can testify by the
written word; or you can testify by acting it out, or bringing into
manifestation. God uses all three when His Spirit beareth Witness to our spirit
that we are His sons. His Spirit bears witness to our spirit through His Spoken
Word; His Spirit bears Witness to our spirit through His Written Word; or His
Spirit sometimes bears witness to our spirit by bringing to pass before our
very lives, the things He has Spoken or Written in His Word.
Therefore, the scripture
does not speak of our spirit bearing witness to His Spirit, because if it did,
then in order for this to be so, we would have to look upon our outward fruits of
our own life and say, look what I have done for my Lord. Look what I have said
for my Lord. But we found that this does not assure us of anything with God,
for Jesus Himself said in MATTHEW 7:21 ¶ Not every one that
saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he
that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to
me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in
thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful
works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from
me, ye that work iniquity.
And the Apostle Paul said in
ROMANS 9:16 So
then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but
of God that sheweth mercy.
Therefore, it is not your
will, or whether you will it, but it is whether He wills it. Therefore it is
His Will that counts. It is not whether you run, but whether he runs. What He
acts out is what counts.
Your spirit could feel good about yourself,
and that only makes you a charismatic. You can agree with every word the bible
says, and that will only make you a Fundamentalist, and you're still lost. You
can even believe every word brother Branham said, and that only means you are
able to read. He said so himself.
The Token 63-0901M
32-3 Don't just come this far, say, "I
believe the message." You obey the message. Come into Christ. You say,
"Oh, I believe every word you said, Brother Branham." That's good.
but that is just being able to read. Take the Message; take it into your
heart, that you must have the Token, the very Life that was in Christ, be in
you. "When I see that, I will pass over you."
Notice then, it is not the
works we do. It is not the words we say. But it is what he says, and if He
says, I never knew you, then it does not matter what you do or what you say
that counts. Therefore it is not your spirit bearing witness to His spirit that
counts, but his Spirit that bears witness to your spirit is what really
matters.
It is not our words, and it
is not our works, and it is not our doctrine, and it is not even our will. In
fact it is not our Glory, for Jesus said, It is not my words, but my Fathers
which I speak. It is not my works, but I do only what the Father shows me to
do. It is not even my doctrine, but it is the Doctrine of my Father, which I am
pleased to teach, and it is not even my will, but the will of my Father. JOHN 5:30 I can of
mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I
seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me. 31
¶ If I bear witness of myself, my
witness is not true. 32 There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know
that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true. Now, let's jump down to verse 36.
JOHN 5:36 But I have greater
witness than [that] of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to
finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent
me. 37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye
have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape. 38 And ye have
not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.
And then He said in, MATTHEW 16:27 For the
Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he
shall reward every man according to his works. Notice, it is not even His own glory but the
glory of the Father.
And again in II PETER 1:17 For he
received from God the Father honour and glory,.. Notice again, what Glory he has he received
from His Father. And why is that? Because in JOHN 17:5 He said, And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self
with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
Now, in pp. 71 brother Branham said, But look, when this body receives the Spirit of God, the
Immortal Life inside of you, It throws this body in subjection to God.
Hallelujah. (1 John 3:9)"He that's born of God doth not commit sin; he cannot
sin." (Romans 8:1) "There is therefore now no condemnation to them that
are in Christ Jesus; they walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit." There you are. See, that throws your body subject. You
don't have to say, "Oh, if I could just quit drinking, if I could
just..." Just get in Christ; it's all gone. See, see? Because your body
is subject to the Spirit, it's no more subject to the things of the world;
they're dead. They are dead; your sins are buried in baptism; and you are a new
creation in Christ. And your body becoming subject to the Spirit, try to live a
right kind of life... 72 Like you women claiming you got Holy Ghost and going
out here and wearing shorts and things, how could you do it?
How could the Spirit of God in you ever let
you do such a thing as that? It just can't be so. Certainly it can't be. He's
not a filthy spirit; He's a holy Spirit. And then when you become subject to
that Spirit, it throws your whole being subject to that Spirit. And that Spirit
is nothing in the world but this Seed Word made manifest, or quickened. (Hallelujah.),
made alive. And when the Bible said, "Don't do this," that body
quickly turns to it; there's no question. And what is it? It's the earnest of
the resurrection. This body will be raised up again, because it's already
started. It was once subject to sin, and mire, and corruption, but now it's got
the earnest; it's turned heavenly. Now, that's the earnest that you're going in
the rapture. It's the earnest.
I JOHN 3:9 Whosoever is born
of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin,
because he is born of God. 10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the
children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God,
neither he that loveth not his brother.
PSALMS 11:7 For the
righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance (The Word countenance speaks
of the face and thus the Presence) Therefore His Presence doth behold (perceive or provide for) the upright (Righteous).
II Timothy 4:8 Notice God's Presence
provides for His Righteous seed. Henceforth there is
laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge,
shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love
his appearing.
I JOHN 3:1 ¶ Behold, what manner of love the Father hath
bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world
knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God,
and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall
appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 3 And
every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as He (God) is pure. 4 ¶
Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the
transgression of the law. (Now,
remember, sin is unbelief for we read in JOHN 16:8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of
righteousness, and of judgment: 9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;
In
the sermon Jesus Christ the Same 52-0810E E-58 Now, the Bible said, "Go and sin no
more, or a worse thing would come upon you." Is that right? That means,
"Go and disbelieve anymore." Sin is unbelief. See? That's the first
thing. That's all there is to it, is unbelief, is sin. 'Cause when you
believe... Jesus said, "He that believeth shall not be condemned. He that
heareth My Words and believeth on Him that sent Me, has Everlasting Life, and
shall not come into condemnation." It's all in faith, if you believe it.
MINISTRY EXPLAINED 50-0711 E-48
What is sin? Not drinking, not smoking, not gambling, not rejecting
church. Sin is unbelief. Is that right? He that believeth not is condemned
already. See? You're not destroyed or separated from God because you're a
sinner. You're separated from God because you refuse to walk with Him, to walk
in His provided way. You've got death and life before you. Just like Adam and
Eve, every man's a free moral agent. And the Tree of Life and tree of death is
before us all. You can take either one you wish to. It depends on what tree you
eat off of is what you are. That's right. And God created you a free moral
agent to do whatever you want to do about it. He can't make you love Him, and
He don't force you to love Him. E-49 If I forced my wife to love me, I'd be
afraid to marry her. But she accepted me for what I was and married me. That's
right. And she loved me and she accepted me that way. And that's the way we got
to come to God. He wants us to love Him, and come, and believe His Word.)
Back
to 1 John 3:5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins;
and in him is no sin. 6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever (disbelieveth) hath
not seen him, neither known him. 7 Little
children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous (he that doeth what is right is right), even as He (GOD) is righteous (even as God is right). 8 He that (disbelieves) is of
the devil; for the devil (disbelieved) from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was
manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 9 Whosoever is born
of God doth not (disbelieve); for his (God's) seed remaineth in him: and he cannot (disbelieve), because
he is born of God. 10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the
children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness (whosoever doeth not that which is right) is not of God, neither he
that loveth not his brother. 11 ¶ For this is the message that ye heard from
the beginning, that we should love one another. 12 Not as Cain, [who] was of
that wicked one, and slew his brother.(Now,
this tells us there is a way to love and a way not to love) And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil,
and his brother's righteous. (Notice, he
says, you don't go Cain's way, you must go Abel's way which is the way of
righteousness. You can not love like Cain loved because let's face it, all of
our actions must come forth from what is in our heart. And if you do not have
the love of God in your heart, you can not possibly love right. Therefore this
love John is talking about must come forth out of righteousness which is right
thinking.)
Look,
Jesus said I do not speak my own words, but the father's which sent me.
Therefore, I do not my own works, but the Father's shows me what to do and that
is what I do. I do not have my own doctrine, but only that which the Father
gave me, and I do not my own will, but the Father's will. Therefore, what Glory
I have is given to me because I seek not my own will. This is the essentiality
of sons. If we could just come to the place where we take God at His Word. That
is the beginning. He promised to give us a new heart, which brother Branham
said is a new understanding. Then that new heart or new understanding will
produce in us a new desire. And when all
our desires have changed, then He promised to give us His Spirit, which is His
Life through His Word.
JOHN 14:23 Jesus answered
and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will
love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. 24 He that loveth
me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the
Father's which sent me. Therefore, our actions must come forth out of
our love for His Word. And let's face it, if we really knew His Word, and if we
really believed His promises were real, then why would we ever consider holding
onto our own will. He said all things will work together for our good. Then
what are we afraid of.
I'll
tell you why you are afraid. Because you don't believe God.
TO SEE JESUS 54-0718E And the Bible
said in Hebrews, the 10th chapter, "He that sins willfully, after
receiving the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for
sin." Hebrews 10:47, I believe it is. "he that sins
willfully." What is sin? Sin is unbelief. There's no other answer for
sin. E-41 Drinking, smoking, gambling, doing evil
things, that isn't sin; that's the attributes of unbelief. You do that because
you're an unbeliever. If you was a believer, you would not do those things. It
bears the fruits of joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, patience, holiness.
That's the fruits of the Spirit. But the fruits of the evil spirit is doubt.
"He that believeth not is condemned already." Then if
the truth comes to you in such a way, that you have a knowledge of it, and then
refuse to receive it, there remains no more sacrifice for your sin, but a
fearful looking towards the judgment. God have mercy, that there'll not be one
person like that in this audience tonight, or nowhere else in the world, would
be my prayer.
SEAL OF THE ANTICHRIST 55-0311 E-44
Now, Paul picks it up in the 5th chapter of Hebrews. He said, "If
we sin willfully..." Sin is unbelief, then if we disbelieve
willfully, after the truth has been presented to us, there remains no more
sacrifice for sin, but a fearful looking for the judgment." Then if
the Gospel truth has been presented to people and they turn their head and
reject it, then Satan takes them to the post. They're willing to serve their
creeds and so forth, stick their ear out, and bore it in there, and you'll
never be able to understand the truth no more. That's the type, and there's
the antitype. Paul said the same thing, "If we disbelieve
willfully--willfully after we've received the knowledge of the truth, there
remaineth no more sacrifice for sin, but a fearful looking for the judgment,
fiery judgment shall devour the adversary." There you are: To reject the
Holy Spirit of God, after you've received it, and believe and know, you hold
back with prejudice… 45 Sinner will come into the audience, he will look around
and say, "Aw, I tell you; there's nothing to that." Walk out just as
stiff as he can be. Brother, one of these times you'll walk out for the last
time. And some people will walk into a meeting where they're seeing the Holy Spirit
move, and say, "That's the devil's work." Do you realize the
danger line that you're on.
One of the brethren from overseas told me that when he
visited the Branham Tabernacle sometime ago, one of the deacon's in the
tabernacle told him "did you know that the man in black that came forth sowing seed
after the Son of Man sowed Seed was Lee Vayle? And the brother from overseas said to him,
"you know brother,
Jesus said the man in black was the devil, and isn't it amazing that God would
have the devil write the Church Age Book?
LAW 55-0115 E-29 Now, look. "For
it is impossible (See?) for those who were once enlightened, made partakers of
the Holy Ghost, to fall away again. For if we sin (disbelieve)
willfully..." Let it soak. "If we disbelieve willfully after we have
received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for
sin." If the truth of the Gospel has been presented to you in such a
way that you have to see it, and because of popularity, or something else, that
you turn your back to it and walk away and don't want to see it, there's where
you cross the line. "For he that disbelieves willfully after he has
received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for
sins."
I would like to say like brother Branham, "what's the
mater with you. What's the matter with the people today. I'll tell you what's
the matter, they don't believe there is judgment for the sinner. They don’t
believe there is a hell for the unbeliever. And we need to preach more hell, fire
and Brimstone to shake you up.
INTER VEIL 56-0121 And if you sin, disbelieve
willfully, after the Gospel's been presented to you, that soul nature of
yours will gradually move away from you, and you'll feel it no more, just drawn
away. You won't know it. E-47 You
say, "Well, I know, I believe I'm right."… That's what's the matter
with Michigan tonight. That's what's with the matter with Indiana tonight.
That's what's the matter with the world tonight. They have been smothered to
sleep with petty Hollywood impersonation of Christianity. What we need today is
the old fashion hell fire and brimstone preachers back in the pulpit again to
preach the truth (Right.), a hell for sinners, and "Except a man be
born again, he will in no wise enter the Kingdom."
What shall we do with Jesus 64-0126 pp 144 Listen, Hebrews 10 says this,
"If we sin willfully (disbelieve willfully) after we received the
knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sin." If
you sin willfully after It's has been identified to you, and then you turn It
down, you are absolutely no chance of ever repenting.
The Token
64-0208 62 If we disbelieve
willfully after we have a knowledge of the truth, there is no more sacrifice
for sin. Think of it. No matter what you're thinking in your heart, the
Token can never be applied. If you reject it the last time, then it cannot
be applied, for he that sins or disbelieves willfully.
God's Power to transform 65-0911 191 That's THUS SAITH GOD'S HOLY WORD. If we disbelieve willfully after
we have seen It and heard It, then we're across the line. There'll never be no
more forgiveness for it; you've crossed the line. "Oh," you say,
"God still blesses me." Oh, yeah.
Abraham's Grace Covenant "For if we disbelieve willfully, any Scriptural thing or
whatever it might be, if we disbelieve willfully, say, " What did they
say? "We can't take it. They're too big for us. We can't..." "If I have to step out
my organization... If I accept that, they'll turn me out. I won't have any
place to go. Nobody will back me up." Who wrote the Bible, your organization? Who's responsible
for the Word, your organization? God's responsible for His Word. God will take
care of His own. God will back you up. Any man that ever amounted to very much
in this life, were man who stood alone with God. That's the way, if you
ever stand, you'll have to stand.
The Token
64-0208
64 Don't sin willfully, don't disbelieve willfully. If there's something in
you, that'll say, "Well, now, I don't see where I need the Holy Ghost. I
might not need it. I believe when I believed I got it." Paul said to the
people that asked that question; he said, "Have you received the Holy
Ghost since you have believed?" The Holy Ghost is a Token. A man believes
God; that is true enough, but the Holy Ghost is a gift of God. It's something
different than your faith. Your faith applies it; that's exactly right. But The
Holy Ghost is the Witness. We'll see just in a few minutes how it works,
and what takes place, where we can be sure where we know whether we're right or
not. It warns us that the time is at hand.
67 We should love one another during this time. The church and the
believers should be unseparable. Believers should separate themselves from all
the things of the world. Everything that's ungodly, the believer should
separate himself from it. Notice. They were not just to come together to talk about it, and
say "We believe it." They were come together to apply the blood, not come say, "Oh, sure I believe that," walk home.
They had to come and apply the blood, that the Token might be seen. Get beneath
it. That's... Today, we set and hear the message preached. We read it out of
the Bible. We say "Oh, yes, I believe that." That ain't what God
requires. No matter how much you believe it, you've got to have it. Church,
wake up.
70 America, This is your last hour. Judgment
lays in the balance yonder for this nation. If God would let this nation get by
with what it's done now, He'd be obligated to raise up Sodom and Gomorrah and
apologize for burning them up. That's right. We are going to pay for our sins.
We're doing the same thing they did in Sodom. And God has sent down, message
just exactly the way He did in Sodom. Just exactly, He sent one to the church
out there, to the Lot group, and to Sodom. And He sent to the elect, and so
forth. And proved that the church is setting exactly in the condition it was in
the days of--of Lot. And Jesus said it would be again. Friends, it's on our
hands. What are we going to do with it? You say "Blood on your hands?"
Yes.
