DISCLAIMER: The following has been auto-transcribed. We hope it will help you to find the section of this audio file you are looking for.
I will sing of my Redeemer.
#31.
There's a brother, Jim Johnson.
Known to a few here.
On board ship, Navy guide young man.
He came in and he put his bag down on the bed.
And whoops, a New Testament fell out of it.
And uh.
The guy on the bed beside him said, Hey Johnson, you Christian?
He was silent.
He never confessed Christ before in his life.
The guy said, hey Johnson, are you a Christian?
Oh, this is gonna be tough now, because he had a sense in his soul.
If he denied Christ, this man is lost.
What's the matter, Johnson? Can't you talk?
He said.
I know that my Redeemer liveth.
His grandma taught him that.
And he was a little boy.
He was in happy fellowship in Kirkland for many years.
I know that my Redeemer liveth #31 I will sing of my Redeemer because someone says that please.
I don't have anything else.
00:05:02
Nsnoise.
Shall we pray?
May our gracious God, a loving Father.
We can now address the directly through thy dear Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.
We honor thee, our God for him, we bless thee for our Savior the Redeemer. Now help us as you open thy precious word and give illustrations and verses thoughts. We trust her from on high and just bring blessing to hearts tonight. How wonderful it would be if it could be said there were some children saved tonight. And so we asked you for help. Our God and the precious name of the Lord Jesus Christ, our loving Savior, Amen.
Hebrews.
Chapter 4.
I understand that the tent meetings, if you don't open your Bible and read a verse within the first 30 seconds or a minute, they start waving at you. Here we are.
Hebrews chapter 4 and verse 12 The Word of God. What we have in our hands tonight is the word of God.
His living is quick and powerful, sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit and of the joints and marrow. That's where the blood is made. What kind of blood do you have tonight?
Piercing even the dividing as Thunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and as a discerner.
Of the thoughts and the intents of the heart.
Now, if you could please imagine in your mind with me tonight a little story. Let's just put forth a little story here. You're in on a trip with your family and you're going through a large city. It's night, it's midnight. You notice your gas gauge is getting low.
And so your GPS doesn't quite working like it should. And so you peel off the freeway because you think there's a gas station over there, but there isn't. Pretty soon you lose track of North and South because it's sort of foggy.
And you're down a back street. You you make another turn and you make a few more mistakes and you end up driving around seemingly in circles. St. lights are busted out and the roads are getting tough and buildings boarded up and so on. And here you are, it quits.
Out of gas. So you sit there with your family and you ponder what's going to happen.
So you look through the fog in the midst and you see a a door open, a light, and you see maybe 5 big men walk out that door with something in their hand. You say to yourself, Oh no, what next? What next?
2:00 in the morning.
As those men approach you, fear comes in your heart.
But what they have in their hand is the word of God. They're having a late night Bible study.
That bring comfort to your heart.
If you could hear them singing in harmony as they walked towards you in the cross of Christ, thy glory towering over the wrecks of time, wouldn't that be a wouldn't that be a wonderful experience? You'd give those menu billfold actually, you know.
Well, the Word of God is powerful. It's powerful. I'm going to take out a track just for an illustration's sake. I'm going to give it to this brother.
Is that correct?
As I understand it.
In North Korea, if I'd have done that.
That would have cost me.
My life.
That would have cost my wife.
For life.
Excluded.
That's real.
Serious. What does the Word of God mean to you? You've got it on your shelf. Probably a couple of copies.
00:10:09
When you put a Bible under your arm.
And you have the little ribbon hanging out there.
Senator Arm, You're walking along like this in a crowd, you feel.
The power, the word of God.
Man, they stopped cussing.
Stop telling dirty jokes.
It's a powerful book. We have children.
And it came as a great cost to God to give that book to you.
There was a man over there in North Korea that had his Bible.
But, he added, hidden away in a bird nest, I believe I, I think I got this right. I don't think I saw it in the Sunday school paper. I think I saw it in the Wall Street Journal. I believe it did.
He had his Bible hidden in a bird nest out in a tree. Someone discovered it. That man disappeared.
The three generations.
What does the Word of God mean to you?
What does the gospel mean to you? I'm going to take something a little out of step here.
You know that the apostle Paul says my gospel. He had a dispensation committed to him.
And it was wonderful. He owed it to the people. He wanted to bring it to the people. He called it my gospel.
Can you call it my gospel?
Does it mean something to you?
The Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.
Does it mean anything to you?
We're not going to use political correctness tonight because.
We're going to touch your conscience. That's what political correctness is all about. It isn't about this or that. It's about don't touch my conscience.
This country is headed in that direction. Other countries are there or past that stage. There will come a time.
In this building.
That the Bible will not be allowed to be read and.
No one will be able to stand up and say you, you're a lost Sinner on the way to hell. That's the direction it's going. Now the believers may be out of here and there may be another gospel preached, the gospel of the Kingdom, but that's the direction it's going.
Don't exercise my conscience.
You know when someone says?
What do you think about evolution?
The way you answer that is 5 words.
What scene are you entertaining?
That's what it's all about.
Don't you dare put me in touch with this God you're talking about. Nothing to do with him.
Just north of Seattle, there's a little place called Mount Vernon.
And there's a a McDonald's hamburger stand and you drive through like that and here's a young woman there and.
You say, Sir, do you know where you're going when you leave this world? She says no, and I'm good with that.
Sovereignty.
And responsibility.
The sovereignty of God puts you in a Christian home.
The sovereignty of God probably puts you in this chair. It puts you in this chair where you're sitting tonight.
And now there's such a thing as responsibility.
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved. There's no good news.
Coming from heaven tonight for this world.
Apart from the gospel of the grace of God.
Can you say that's my gospel?
I need it, I want it. I enjoy thinking about it. It's mine.
Paul said. I'm not ashamed of it.
00:15:01
Are you ashamed of it?
I'll tell you a story. At my desk, sitting there, two young boys came through the door. I think they were about 13 or 14. They had their box of candies. I mentioned this in another place, bear with me. They had their box of candies and they were going to sell these candies and go to camp with the money that they make. And so they had these little Costco, probably a buck on 1/4 boxes they were selling for $6.
Yeah, that's true. Way out of line. And so, yeah, I bought one because I like chocolate, so on.
Then I said I got a question for you boys.
If you were standing at the gate of heaven and God were to say, how can I let you come into my heaven, what would you tell him?
This young man, he said, as if he said, at every stop that he made, he said.
God came down.
He went to the cross and he died from my sins.
He picked up his Skittles and he walked out the door. I was amazed.
I was amazed, I said. That boy looked like he was He was living with a with a moment by moment gospel on his lips and Christ in his heart.
Wasn't that beautiful?
Another lady.
So what do you think of the Lord Jesus? Oh sweet Jesus?
Another man.
If you were standing at the gate of heaven and God were to say to you, how can I let you come into my heaven? You're a Sinner like Dave sitting at the desk there.
He says.
Jesus is my resume. I thought that was interesting.
God has set it up in such a way that Christ is everything. That's what I hope we end the meeting tonight. If if we do get that privilege, Christ is everything.
I'm gonna quote a few verses here.
And then we're going to take up something from a very, very ancient book.
All have sinned and come short of the glory of God.
Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, thou shalt be saved. You've had the message already.
As a young man sat in our Sunday school.
I moved.
I heard two hours ago that he's dead.
Maybe 20 years old now, something like that. He died.
His name was Samuel.
Christian, Mommy and daddy, he's dead.
He that spared not his own son, but delivered him up for his soul, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
If He's giving you Christ and He hasn't offered to you tonight, you have all things right there. That's the answer to every question.
A heart could ever have.
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus.
It's being justified by faith and is freely by grace. Aren't those beautiful verses of Scripture destiny? They are.
Well, we're we at center's Christ died for us.
This is the cross of Calvary where that wonderful transaction took place.
God's beloved Son offered himself without spot to God.
That was where he shed his precious blood.
That place was where?
Those hideous crime.
Was ever committed?
That place.
Is where, oh excuse me, is where the warmest heart that ever beat?
Was pierced with a sword.
00:20:04
So now.
There's a full and a free salvation offered to any and all who simply reached out by faith and take it. Am I wonderful?
It's placed on a perfectly righteous basis because Christ Jesus paid the price at the cross.
My brother Don rules message was wonderful.
My brother Don Lambs is wonderful, encouraging.
What I think about were the Lamb's message was just so encouraging to me.
We talked about that old preacher whose son was giving the gospel in another place and re reported back that he's three souls were saved that night and the sun's preaching. His father said, son, you know what? What did you tell him? Because I just told him the gospel, how to be saved. And that's what we would like to do tonight. And I've already given you a half a dozen verses whereby if you reach out by simple faith, you can have salvation free.
Absolutely free.
I said that to a Roman priest one time.
He needed some paint for his motor scooter.
He said, well, how much is that? I said it's free.
It's absolutely free.
I said, have you ever heard anything like that before? Like the Gospel is Free said yes, I've heard that.
So you have a book in your hand, children.
There's no book like it and all the World.
It takes you from a past eternity.
Through the space of time here.
And on into eternity, future. And during this span of time here God is working out His counsels.
And it says in Zachariah, it says he's going to bear the glory.
And the Council as a council of peace between them both.
Between God the Father and God the Son there was a council of peace.
And it mainly has to do with the glorification of His Son.
And a bride for a son, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Another way to acquire glory.
He has glories, and then there are acquired glories. Get those CDs and MP threes. Children learn about those glories. They're beautiful.
Yes.
The glory and the honor will go to Christ.
Lord, Jesus, said Isaiah, pictured there, here, my who shall I send? Hear my, send me.
The Father sent the Son to be the Savior of the world.
God loves to reveal His secrets to His servants, the prophets.
And then there's another verse that says umm.
Umm, so I'm 2514.
Says the secret of the Lord.
This has to do with faith.
The secret of as verse 14, Psalm 2514, the secret of the Lord. Oh, he has some wonderful and beautiful secrets. And now they have been brought out in the Old Testament reading here. They've been brought out new in the fullness and their beauty and is found in a person. That person is my Savior. I'm gonna ask you one question at the end of this talk this evening.
Just one.
In the book of Job.
Perhaps the oldest section.
Of Scripture, maybe even the oldest book ever written. Would you like to hear what God says about himself and about the way of salvation and about eternal judgment?
00:25:10
You know, Job, he was a wonderful man, he.
He didn't like evil.
And he feared God.
He feared God above many.
He was a wealthy man. That was a blessing for folks back in those days. He was blessed man, the blessings worthy.
And God tells us some marvelous things in the book of Job. I have already quoted to you one verse from the book of Job, and that was.
I know that my Redeemer liveth.
I'll read you just a little bit. The first part of Job, the man, Job one verse one. There was a man in the land of us whose name was Job, and that man was perfect and upright and one that feared God and is chewed evil. We'll stop there and we'll go over to the 38th chapter please.
Job he had a.
Pretty high esteem of himself. And so God and his, uh, wisdom, he was a good man, better than those around him, but still God had to deal with him in an unusual way. And so this, there's several 40 chapters or more here that talk about God's dealings with this man.
It brought him down to a place where Job says, I've heard of thee with thy ears, seen with mine eyes, and I repent. And dust and ashes. Dust is where he came from the ground. Ashes. That's all that's left after that pride and all have been burned away.
Dust and ashes.
Now brother Rule gave us.
Some thoughts about Earth's earliest ages.
And God's purposes.
To bring man into blessing, and to bring man near. Notice how the brother said that near to himself. I love that.
That's the heart of God in motion.
Job 38, please. Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind and said.
Who is this that darkness counsel by words without knowledge? Gird up now thy loins like a man, and I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.
Where was thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare, if thou hast understanding, who hath laid the measures thereof? If thou knowest, or who hath stretched the line upon it? Whereupon are the foundations of fastener, who laid the cornerstone thereof? When the morning stars sang together in the sons of God shouted for joy?
Other places in Scripture, it says he stretched out the heavens. You know, in the last maybe a hundred, 150 years, they've discovered something.
Scientists with their telescopes.
You know what they discovered? God stretched out the heavens.
Expanding Universe.
It says it several times.
And it tells you that the circle of the earth, different things are just so thrilling to to read. But we're going to read a little bit about earth's earliest ages here and see if we can't with the help the Spirit of God.
To see the heart of God in all this.
All right.
He laid the cornerstone.
Morning stars sang. Sons of God shouted for joy. What are they shouting about? Did they get in on this eternal purpose somehow when the Father and the Son had this plan of redemption?
For mankind and a bride for the Lord Jesus. Some of you people would like to be married.
And it's been a long time since anything exciting has happened, and you kind of get worried, don't you?
You know something, Just lean on the Lord and I'll tell you why. You may never be married, but you'll be missing nothing for all eternity. Nothing.
Compared to what we have here, this is just a little while.
00:30:05
But to be the bride of Christ forever?
Jobs asked the question.
Did you have anything to do with the founding of this world? You know, men, they're discussing back and forth, back and forth about the origin of creation and so on.
Well, here you have the Morning Stars scene together and the sons of God shouting for joy. Yes, there's joy in heaven.
And on earth there's joy sometimes and there's sorrow sometimes, but in hell it's eternal sorrow.
He made the cloud burst. 9A garment thereof, a thick darkness. A swaddling band. What does a swaddling band for? It's for little baby. You wrap a little baby in the swaddling band. There you have Earth's earliest ages.
And then we find out.
Verse 10 you break it up.
OK, verse 9, when I made the cloud, the garment thereof, and the thick darkness and swaddling band for it, and break up it for my decreed place, and set bars and doors as a decreed place, you know something the earth was covered with? Well, let's read it. Genesis chapter one.
The beginning. God created the heaven and the earth, and the earth was without form and void and darkness was upon the face. The deepness Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. There you have it. Job's talking about that.
Then there was a time when those waters come no further stop.
And a dry land appears.
Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days?
And caused the dayspring to know his place or the day Spring on high has visited this world.
Yes, he has. The Lord Jesus came down into this world.
Amazing fact.
As the day Springy knows his place.
Just might say we're getting around to that time of year when crowds and crowds of people are getting ready to celebrate the birthday of their judge.
Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days, and caused the day spring to Noah's place?
That it might take hold of the ends of the earth? That the wicked might be shaken out of it? Yes, Satan had his business going before Adam and Eve.
And he brought sin.
Into the creation, didn't he?
And so the Lord Jesus, he came into the world, it says in first chapter of John's Gospel.
Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world, that's not only your sins if you'll have him, but there's coming a day when all taint of sin.
Shall be removed, and all evil done away.
And you and I that believe in the Lord Jesus will dwell with God's beloved in God's eternal day.
Beautiful.
Now he talks about Wicked being shaken out of the earth. He's going to deal with all that.
Verse 14 is a tough one for me.
His turn is played to the seal and they stand as a garment. A seal is something you stamped down into clay. Well, apparently God made.
Uh, the Grand Canyon say, right? Remember how the Colorado River came and it cut down through that made that deep Canyon? Oh really?
Uh, if you look at your geography, you'll find out that.
The beginning of the Colorado River is lower than the rim of the Grand Canyon, so therefore the water would have had to flow up uphill for quite a ways.
No, we don't know a lot. We really know nothing.
Water doesn't flow uphill. It would have to do a start. It'd have to do something against nature.
Alright.
Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea?
00:35:00
For 16 Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea?
You know something?
The Lord Jesus went in, went into the Garden of Gethsemane.
He went into the deeps.
All thy waves and thy billows gone over me.
Yes, the garden of Yosemite, where he cried.
May this cup pass from me.
And nevertheless not my will but thine be done.
My soul is exceeding sorrowful. You know those verses that touch your heart, don't they? My soul is exceeding sorrowful even unto death.
It's pictured in Jonah. The weeds were wrapped about my head. I went down to the bottom of the ocean, peeps.
Then it says.
The gates of death.
This is how eternal redemption.
And the counsels of God to bring you poor, guilty, hell deserving Sinner.
Into eternal favor and blessing the Creator God, a companion for His Son.
It says, Have the gates of death been open unto thee, Job? No, no.
The Lord Jesus He knew when he came down into this world, he set his face like a Flint to go where the Jerusalem had a baptism, there to be baptized with, and how he was straightened till it was accomplished.
And accomplished it was.
Yes, there was strong crying tears.
Unto him that was able to save him.
Did the Lord save him out of death and resurrection? Yes, because of his piety. That's our Savior.
The cross of Christ, O glorious tree.
What place can be compared with thee? For God's own Son was crucified there, for us a ransom died.
Is it nothing to you all ye that pass by? It says.
And see if there be any sorrow like unto my sorrow with the Lord hath afflicted me in the day of his fierce anger.
Yes, those waters.
Probably put. Maybe a hymn writer put it.
How deep none of the ransomed ever knew. How deep were the waters crossed? How dark was the night that our Lord broke through to save the sheep that was lost?
Are you lost?
Oops. I was gonna say that question until the end of the meeting, but I'll ask it anyway. Are you lost? Yes. You were born lost. And what's more than that? It's like this.
A mama's sheep. She strays away from the fold. Somehow she gets through the fence and on she goes, over hill and Dale, over hill and Dale, around. And she's pretty soon she lost and she's lost.
While she's out there, she has a little baby lamb.
Is that lamb born lost?
Yes, it is.
We are a lost race of people.
And that's exactly who the Lord is looking for.
If you come as one.
There's not lost. God has nothing for you.
You need to come as lost.
You know, there was a woman.
She wanted a blessing. She wasn't a she wasn't a Jew.
And she said, Lord help me. And the Lord said it's not right to take the children's bread and cast it to the dogs. She knew she was a Gentile. God had in mind Israel for blessing. She said the little dogs eat the crumbs that fall from the master's table. She was a little dog. She got the blessing, didn't she?
00:40:02
Methodist.
Let's talk about him for a minute. The brother brought him up in his message. And what a story that is.
Here's a man that came from a lineage. He was an enemy of, uh, Weller, Saul's grandson, wasn't it? Jonathan's son David, out of the goodness of his heart, says any left of the house was Saul, that I may show him the kindness of God unto him for Jonathan's sake.
Yeah, there is. There's a guy by the name of Mephibosheth. He's overloadibar. Fetch him. Wow, what a word to this. Oh, I love that word. Fetch him. That's the sovereign grace of God. Fetch him.
And underline that in your Bible. That's beautiful.
They went, they got him, and they brought him in his lameness to the table of David. And it says four times over he ate David's table continually.
And if someone came along and said Mephibosheth, who do you think you are?
You know what he had told him? I'm a dead dog. That's what he said. My dead dog.
Now, if someone says who do you think you are? That's putting it on the basis of merit.
There's no merit the fact that you're at his table. If someone says who do you think you are?
That's putting it on the basis of merit. No, put it on the basis of fetch.
I like that.
Pick you up and put you at His table. Rejoice in the sovereignty of God. Don't fight it.
Then there was another man.
He said I'm not a dog. You're trying to make me out to be a dog. His name was Goliath. He died.
Now we're up to this beautiful verse, John 316, and that's Job 38.
18 What do you see there?
Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth?
Oh God so loved the world.
He went through death.
He was raised again by the power of God because of his piety, who he was, and now he has a salvation to offer. The brothers who brought it up meaning earlier or last night, dear brother Don.
For God so loved the world.
That He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
We'll go on.
Where is the way where light dwelleth all the Lord Jesus came out into the world. He said I am the light of the world.
You walk with me, you won't walk in darkness. You'll have the light of life.
That was the true life which cometh, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. I believe that's John chapter one and verse nine. I have quite a few verses to go here and it just become as beautiful to my soul how that this.
Little section of the Word of God sandwiched in very carefully.
Into God's Word, way back there.
Way back there.
Now the light of the wicked shall be put out.
Where is the way where light dwelleth?
Well, that's here. The Lord Jesus came into this world, the light of the world.
And now darkness. Where is that place? Well, this world's darkness. It's a place of darkness. Men love darkness. Oh, they love darkness. When they broke into my shop, uh, four weeks ago tonight, the first thing they did was they took a black rattle cannon. They covered the windows with black over spray.
Why? So they could steal our tools.
Well, where is the end place of darkness, O children?
Children.
00:45:01
That thou shouldst take it to the bound thereof, and that thou shouldst know the paths to the house thereof. Don't go there. Don't go there.
Because there's a fall and a free salvation for you tonight.
Take Christ.
There's no other answer for you. There's no other answer. That's God's remedy for sin. Take Christ as your Savior. Bow your knee, Isaiah said. Every knee shall bow.
Flippens every knee should bow. Revelation, every knee has bowed.
Every knee shall bow.
Every knee should bow. You know they ought to bow. Look what he did for him. Look what he did for him.
All right, I got to keep moving here.
Mm-hmm. Where we at?
Verse 22. Hast thou entered into the treasure? Oh, there's so much in here. Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? Washed me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Children go through this world with a good conscience.
Start your married life with a good conscience.
Come to know Christ as your Savior had every last stain of sin washed away.
Whiter than snow.
And then he says, the treasures of the hail, you know, men treasure up to themselves judgment against the day of judgment with their wickedness. God has something treasured up for you, Sinner friend, if you don't take Christ as your Savior.
The treasures of the hell Revelation talks about hail.
Judgment Day.
Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war. Yes, there's a time of Jacob's trouble coming. We see it on the horizon. God is faithful, He has told us, and now it's up to us to just believe it.
There's a time of trouble coming. You can see it every day. My father-in-law gets the Wall Street Journal. What a mess this world is in.
Every day more and more trouble spiraling down into the depths of of troubled chaos. And that's what's ensuing. Coming up against the day of battle and war. Yes, he has a controversy not only with Zion, he has a controversy with United States of America. And because they've had so much light, light has been poured out on this country.
And it's rejected. And what does it bring? Night.
By what way is the light parted? I must hurry. By what way is the light parted?
Where did we go? We parted this world. We departed. The Lord took us home the believers.
And then what happens Scattereth, the east wind, that was the wind that came down on the Red Sea was the east wind. It's a judgment wind.
And he scatters it on the earth.
Yes.
That's what's gonna happen.
And then we must close because if it's a rain on the earth now, if you look in the 37th chapter, there's three reasons He brings rain. He causes it to converse 13. He causes it to come, whether for correction or for his land or for mercy. Well, here I believe it's the rod and the margin. It says the rod. I believe here is the rod of correction. You know, God has a lot of cleaning up to do. I'm going to speak respectfully and please don't take it wrong.
He is the great janitor. He's going to mop it up.
All this sin and the corruption and the cheating and the lying.
It's got to be mopped up.
Caused it to rain on the earth. Where no man is is gonna narrow things down, and where there's so few it'll be hard to find a man. Why? Because of rebellion against God.
Now this verse is so beautiful.
Look at this.
To satisfy the desolate and the waste ground. Verse 27.
Oh, there are those that destroy the earth.
There are those that defile the earth.
00:50:04
But he's gonna bring in this great cleansing, and it's gonna be to cleanse this earth.
Now there's coming a time, a millennial time, when there will still be sin, but if a man exercises it, he will be taken out. It's not that way today. This is the day of grace. God lets a man curse.
I was talking to a man. He was using bad language all the time. I said, I says I tried to preach the gospel. He's in Christ. That was in it. It was just part of his his conversation. It was a surprise he used the name Christ.
No, this all has to be cleaned up now to satisfy the desolate and the waste ground to cause the blood of the tender herb to spring forth. Oh my, think of that root out of a dry ground, now moist.
And that.
That tender herb.
The Lord Jesus and blessing to this earth.
Oh, he shall come down like showers on the new moon. Grass, joy and hope like flowers spring up where he does pass. Let's look at Psalm 72. We gotta close this meeting.
This is so beautiful.
Children.
I will read it some of it quickly.
It says in the in the 72nd some.
The mountains shall bring verse three shall bring peace to the people. Little hills by righteousness He'll judge the poor, He'll Save the Children of the needy. He'll break in pieces the oppressor. They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure throughout all generations. He shall come down like rain upon the moon. Grass and showers that water the earth. There's the blessing in this day shall the righteous flourish, an abundance of peace as long as the moon and earth. He shall have dominion from also from sea to sea and from the river unto the ends of the earth.
Verse 11 Yeah, All king shall fall down before him, all nations shall serve him.
Verse 13 He shall spare the poor. 14 Redeem their soul.
He shall live. To him shall be given the golden sheba. Now verse 16. There shall be a handful of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains. The fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon, and they of the city shall flourish like the grass of the earth. His name shall endure forever. They said. When shall he die and his name perish? His name is going to endure forever.
The men shall be blessed in him. All nations shall call him blessed. Blessed is the Lord God of Israel who only do with wondrous things. Blessed be his glorious name forever, and let the whole earth be filled with his glory. Amen and Amen. The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended because there's nothing left to pray for. Christ has his place. Christ has his place.
The councils and purposes have now been with the exception of the eternal State.
Fulfilled.
Christ has given His very highest place on earth.
And in heaven.
Christ is all and in all. Christ is everything. And then for that eternal day.
All sin is removed, every taint of sin is removed. No more sorrow, no more crying, no more deception. All of that is passed away. Christ is the joy of God's heart, and he has his bride right next to him for all eternity. Oh, that's great. That's wonderful grace.
Have you reached out and said, Lord Jesus, with thy precious blood, save my guilty soul, bow your knee. Man was there in the office. He was a proud man. He was a pilot.
You told me this himself.
He said. I went in my bedroom knowing that I needed to get right with God.
And I knew I had to get down on my knees and confess Christ as my Savior, as a poor, lost, guilty Sinner. I got in my bedroom and I got one knee down the ground, down the floor. The other knee wouldn't go down.
Pride is there, pride keeping you?
What's keeping you from taking the Savior? He loves you.
He grabbed that knee with his hands and he jammed that other knee down into the ground. He got saved that day. How wonderful you can be saved just by a look of faith.
00:55:05
A look of faith. No, the sky is not going to break open. Angels singing, you won't hear that, but in God's your name, Heaven, your name is written down in God's book of life. Let's pray.
Our God, our Father, we thank you for the Lord Jesus Christ.
We just bless thee for thy word. We think of how that.
It explains everything to us for creatures.
It brings us in such a near and blessed position, our God.
Having forgiven you all trespasses. Thank you Lord Jesus for Calvary. We think of how that we should have spent more time tonight thinking about the awful time there that thought is.
Have to spend there on that, those three hours of darkness, those.
The wrath of God meted out against sin.
Father, we pray for these children. There's only 7 year old here tonight. Oh God.
An 8 year old. A nine year old four or five year old 6 year old. Lord Jesus, sailor souls.
And do it for Jesus sake. Amen.
