Address—H.E. Hayhoe
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.
General Meetings, Wheaton, IL, August 1961.
Addressed by AG Hayhoe.
We sing together hymn #64.
Beginning at verse 6.
In #64.
Beginning at verse 6.
Our God whom we have known.
Well known in Jesus Love. Now notice the language.
Rests in the blessing of his own.
Before himself above.
#64 somebody started him for us.
Now our talk this afternoon.
Will not be the gospel.
It's going to be an address to young people.
And I'm going to speak a little slowly, because it is far better to get hold of the truth.
And have the very sort of it in our hands.
This is the only book in the world.
That is light and make the darkness.
00:05:03
Truth amid error, comfort in every time of sorrow.
And the blessings of God that are promised in that book.
Are all.
You and Amen in Christ Jesus.
Absolutely certain of fulfillment.
And every believer is blessed equally.
Now I'm going to say that again. It's showing **** God has no favorites in his family.
Every believer is equally blessed.
The jewel box for the whole Bible is Ephesians 1. Can you find it?
And it's the third verse of Ephesians 1.
Let us be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ Now that that's true of every believer?
Young girl.
Rich or poor, whoever you may be, God has no favorites. Each one is equally blessed.
Your enjoyment of the blessing depends upon your walk. So will you turn over?
To the Gospel of John.
Can you find John's Gospel and read?
1St 15.
Or Chapter 15, Brother.
And verse 9.
I've often said you ought to memorize that this verse and serve every day of your life.
Young Old.
And never try to love the Lord any more than you do.
Never try to love him any more than you do. Sit down and think of how much he loves you.
The singer who died for you.
Went through every form and kind of something that it was possible to go through. What, boy, put your sins away? Oh no, that was part of it. That was part of it. But that was not all of us.
Why did he go through so much suffering? Well, was it necessary for him to be hungry, to put your sins away, or to be weed?
Why did he go through so much suffering to kill you? How much he loves you?
So it says in this ninth verse, as a father had loved me.
So have I loved you.
Continue ye in my life. Are you a Christian? God loves you with an everlasting love.
As the Father have loved me, so have I loved you.
Continue ye in my love. That verse has cheered my heart and caused me to burst into praise many times. Many times.
I remember.
Well, particularly going from New York to Woodbridge, NJ.
And as I sat in the Newark station and saw them calling out of the tube men quitting their work and I was sitting on the bench.
Amid all that travel, this this verse came to me. I sat there. I thought as the foreigners, I loved me. So have I loved you.
And I couldn't have the question to praise.
Never tried to love the Lord any more than you do. Sit down and think of how much He loves you.
Now the 10th and 11Th verses is the love to happen.
You know when God created this world.
And we pronounce everything very good. And he put man Adam and Eve in the midst of a scene wherein they had done nothing to produce the group. But before Adam and Eve were placed there, it was the garden of Eden, and God pronounced it very good. And he put Adam and Eve in the midst of.
00:10:10
He turned not to eat of the Molly of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
And then afterwards, he came into the garden in the cooler of the day, in the cool of the day. What did he come in for? He came in to herb communion with Adam and Eve. But they were hiding because they've been.
Hybrid and You can't think of a grim gift that you ever enjoyed since you were born, whether you're served or unsaved, that didn't come from God.
Did you enjoy your dinner today? Who made the fruit grow?
Who gave you the sense of faith to enable you to enjoy it?
Who provided it for you?
Ah, it was God in his goodness to man. You can't think, I repeat, of a good gift you ever enjoyed in your life that didn't come from God.
Took man's artist work.
Where it's all a copy of God's creation, for man can never improve on that which God has created.
It was very good and man can never improve on and I repeat.
All our figures, whether it was children or grown-ups, springs from unbelief of the goodness that's in the heart of God.
Are you a Christian?
Make it the habit of your life.
To take a step without consulting the wisdom of God, and there you'll find it in the world.
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet that is for the next step, and I love them to my path. What does that mean? To show you where the path ends. But end it will. Down here end it will.
By So many look upon the Bible as a book to tell them how to be saved and go to heaven when they die.
Even Christians are wrong when they look upon the Bible in that way.
The driver of the book not only to tell you how to be saved and go to heaven, but how to live in this present evil world.
With light for your past, wisdom for every step of the way, and the blessing of God.
To rest upon your pathway, so notice that John 15.
Verse 10 now.
If you keep my commandments, nothing about dying, nothing about.
Forgiveness of sins here. If you keep my commandments, he shall abide in my love.
Oh, every word of God comes.
As a commandment.
To the child of God that has learned the love of Christ.
If you keep My commandments, you shall abide in My love, even as I have kept my Father's commandments and applied in His love.
Every father wants to see his children happy.
Only true father wants to see his children happy. But sometimes I as a father have made mistakes.
But I've got a father up there that never makes any mistakes. Never. Never.
Remember, the Bible is a book not only to tell you how to be saved, but how to live in this present evil world with the blessing of God upon your pathway through it. Unhappiness is a sense of soul, not a question of circumstance.
No, I tell you when you put that down 15 and I'll bring you to a thumb that will show you that.
Can you find the bombs are right in the middle of the Bible and it's the 39th song.
I said I will take heed to my willies now. This is not how to be saved.
This is how to have happiness after your party.
I will take heed to my ways that I sin not with my tongue.
00:15:02
Oh, the tongue is an unruly member. You say something and then you're sorry, you said.
Watch what you think about and judge every unkind thoughts and every evil thought.
Thoughts always precedes the action.
Never go to bed at night with an unkind feeling toward anybody in the world, no matter how they treat you.
No matter how they sit.
Is it not written God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son. Was it because it was a word that was toward him in love? No fearing in love. Not that we love God, but that he loved us.
And sent his son to be the propitiation for our things at first John Chapter 4.
You know God loves you when you are in your sins without a.
Who is love? Not that we love God, but that he loved us.
Oh, how precious to think. His love never changes.
And walk in the sense of it is to have a happy Christian life.
When I come to these general meetings and I see you boys and girls and you know I love boys and girls.
I love boys and girls. I have some of them and I've got some yet.
And God wants to every one of his children to be happy.
But the world is dressed up to deceive you, so it says here a little further down.
In the second night star, in the fourth verse, Lord, make me to know my name and the measure of my beings, What it is that I may know how frail I am. Behold, thou made my days as an handbread.
And my need is of nothing before these.
Verily, every man at his best seats.
Is all together vanity and then a little word is added Tila.
Every man at his best estate is all together. Benefit and the words of vanity is really vacuum. Nothing, empty. Empty.
So it says in the next verse. Surely every man walketh in a same show.
In a vain and empty show.
Every book you read. Unless.
It has the wisdom of the Word of God.
He simply follows.
For the wisdom of this world.
Here that soul empty, that the word of God tells us that that better send you to its church to remember it in your science, Corinthians.
First Corinthians.
Chapter 3.
And verse 19.
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God.
20th verse And again, the Lord knows the thoughts of the world, that they are them empty. The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
Oh yes, no. Wiped in the Miss World. Well, we used to tell our children when they went to school. Children, you take your arithmetic at algebra and Euclidian composition from your school teacher. But when she talks about anything moral.
She's sure to be wrong and left.
Our thoughts are definitely the word. So you are the thoughts of the why that they are vague.
Every security.
And that is.
Governed by the wisdom of God will tell you to lay up your treasure down here.
To let the treasure down here.
That the things that are highly esteemed among men are abomination in the sight of God, you'll find that person assistance.
00:20:06
The things that are highly esteemed among men are abomination in the sight of God.
I'm talking to you as Christian.
Six times over.
The Lord says Christ in Matthew, once in March, twice in Luke and once in John.
That.
Did a man that walks in the wisdom of this world is walking foolishness?
He's to lay up his treasure in heaven.
We need a mark and a rest of corruption where thieves do not breakthrough.
Lay up to yourself anything that you do.
Simply to please God in the path of obedience to His Word will never be forgotten. It will be blessed.
And every act in your life and mind.
Either to be safe or to please God.
I often ask myself why do you want to preach self?
If you did everything right, nothing would be right except the motive was right.
You and I are enabled by the word of God.
To judge whether the motive is the glory of press.
Jesus could say down here, I do always go things that please him.
I do all of those things that please him, I often say to our young people in Agua, where I live.
Young Christians remember this, that no one ever walked.
Through this world to please God.
And at the end of their tackle, say I wish I hadn't done.
For the blessing of the Lord it made us rich, and he added no sorrow with it. The blessing of the Lord is made rich.
And, he added, no thoroughly and even gifts is not government.
David was a good king, and God bless him as a king. But he was a poor father and he had to suffer for it.
For you and I, if we're Christians, we're in the House of God and come under his government.
Now I'm going to give you a little rapid outline of that in First Peter.
In the five chapters when you turn over to First Peter.
The first chapter of First Peter is Salvation.
I'm not going into the detail, but notice the first verse. Peter and Apostle of Jesus Christ to the strangers scattered throughout process. Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia and Virginia. That is, there was a scattering of the tribes of Israel.
Elect according to the knowledge of God the Father through sanctification of the Spirit. Now I'll tell you what that means. Even you too you can understand.
Sanctification me of the Spirit means this.
That the Son of God.
Always, always occupies us with Christ and our heavenly portion sanctification of the citizens for the Spirit it tells you in the 16th of God.
Mr. Taketh of the things of Christ, and shows them to us.
And so it's sanctification of the spirit.
Until obedience.
Unto obedience.
The first thing that's spoken of is obedience. Are you a Christian? Are you a child of God?
Never take a step in your life without consulting the wisdom of the Word of God.
For this again, I repeat, don't look upon the Bible as simply a book to tell you how to die and go to heaven when you do die.
The Word of God tells us how to live in this present evil world and live with the blessing of God.
But God desires the happiness and blessing of his children, so it's unto obedience and strengthening of the blood of Jesus Christ that added, because none of us walk in the perfect obedience of the Lord Jesus. So the sprinkling of the blood is necessary for us, though it was not necessary for him.
00:25:18
Grace unto you. Grace is the unmerited favor of God.
And peace be multiplied.
Oh, peace.
Is more than simply peace through knowing that our sins are forgiven. This is the peace of God that passeth all understanding.
That keeps us in a world filled with evil. For the God and Prince of this world is Satan.
And so it is. We can walk in perfect peace. The world was never in such a troubled condition as it is right now.
But God is behind the scenes.
Moving all the scenes that he is behind and Christ is head over all things to the Church which is his body.
I've often said to my brethren in Ottawa, there's no one in them in this meeting, and no one in this world can speak an unkind word to me unless the Lord allows it. And never look at the person that speaks unkindly to you. Ask the Lord why he allowed it, why he loved it.
Shall I give you a simple illustration?
I had a mother. There were seven of us, children. I never remember my mother losing her patience with us. Some children never remember it.
Were we perfect children? No, we weren't. We tried there, I'm sure, but I never remember her speaking an impatient word.
When anybody speaks unkindly to you, just take it as an opportunity to show the patience and grace of Christ.
The patients never go to bed at night with an unforgiving spirit or an unkind thought toward anybody in the world, no matter how they treat you.
Carry always a forgiving spirit. Nothing happens by chance. God is the God of circumstances.
Or if my mother walked in that room.
My heart had overflow.
I'll never know how close you walk with the Lord. Do I see somebody speak unkindly to you and find out how you act, how you act.
Nothing happens about chance.
All is ordered of God, the circumstances, the weather, the conditions of life in your home or in your business.
Everything is ordered again.
God is the God of circumstances, and it will always to remember itself.
So here grace and peace be multiplied.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy, hath begotten us again unto a lively or living hope, by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible and omnipiled, and that fadeth not away reserved in heaven for you.
Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation, ready to be revealed in the last time.
Well, this is contrast.
For Israel, that's the end of side one. This tape continues. On side two, please turn your tape over at this time. Promise the land of Palestine.
And they were to have blessing in the land. They will have it in a future day.
Meantime, a jewel that believes in the Lord Jesus Christ has heavenly blessings for the middle wall. A petition is down and Jew and Gentile are made one in Christ.
This is our school life.
Now watch what I say next.
There are some things you learn down here that you can't learn in heaven.
You can't learn in heaven God is the God of all comfort, where you won't need any comfort up there.
You can't learn God as the God of all patience in heaven, where we'll never do anything in heaven that requires his patience.
These friends will learn down here a few brother Debbie who am said it's worth being sick.
00:30:04
To learn what a comforter job can be.
For he can come into into your room in the day of your sickness, and be such a comfort to you.
That your heart will overflow with praise.
You can't learn that in heaven. Why does? Why didn't God take us to heaven the moment he said this? What do you leave us down here for? To make money? No. To have a good time as men speak? No.
He left us down here in the school of God.
To learn what we can't learn in heaven, learn him as the God of all grace, the God of all patience, the God of all comfort. And it's worth going through this world, even in sorrow, to learn what a comforter he can be.
I remember when I was a boy.
They thought I was lost.
And I was supposed to be home for supper, and I didn't get home till about 9:00 or 10:00 at night.
And I'll never forget to this day. My mother opened the door.
She burst into Thanksgiving into her arms around me, she said. Oh, how are you? Safe. I thought you were there.
That very trial brought up the heart of my mother, just made her very precious to my thoughts. Oh, what a savior Jesus is when we defend the glory and we look back over our lives and see how he had been so patient with us, so gracious with us, so forgiving with us.
Or how we look into his face and burst into praise. It's a privilege.
To be saved when you're young.
To be saved when you're young, Thank God I received when I was a little boy.
But he's in love with his life shall lose it. What does that mean?
That means he that lives to please himself will be unrewarded in glory.
And it is worth having the sorrow to learn what a comforter Jesus is.
All you dear boys and girls.
You come to the meeting. Perhaps it's a long way to come. I remember this was in Philadelphia many years ago. An old brother, Hamilton, lived way up, a forgotten Ernie was called, and he and I were coming down on the streetcar.
And he was sitting beside me.
And he said, oh, brother, hey, who? I'm tired of this long journey from Irtingham down down to the meeting. It was right downtown in Philadelphia. I looked at him and I said, but brother Hamilton, you must have a big reward waiting you in heaven for all that long journey that you wouldn't have had if you lived next door.
He burst into laughing and he said, OK, well, I never thought of it that way before my life. It'll make the journey easier. Have you a long way to come to the meeting in Chicago?
Have you a long way to come? Got to get up 1/2 an hour earlier.
When you get the reward for it, for it, you'll be surprised.
He's measured. It will matter. You took. He's measured every step he took. He's measured all of the costumes. Or it's a privilege to do anything for that precious saviour who loved us and gave himself for us. If you heard me say at the opening of this meeting.
There's much of the sufferings of Christ that were not necessary.
To put our sins away. Why did he go through it in order to be a sympathetic high priest?
Shall I give you an illustration that you children can understand?
Supposing you had to walk from here to Spokane, WA, that's a long time and you had to walk every mile of it.
And I knew you'd be tired, and I knew the heat of the day would be oppressive to you. And I said I'll take the walk to Spokane.
Myself.
In order that I can sympathize with you in your willingness of body and all that you go through.
Well, I don't think I've got a heart big enough to do it. You know, I think I'd rather take the train or an automobile.
But you know the Lord Jesus walked every weary mile hungry and sexy. And really, what did he do it for? To put our sins away? No, to be a comforter to us.
00:35:01
To be a comforter to you, I will misunderstood by your brethren. The Lord was misunderstood by the brethren too. I was persecuted by the world. The Lord was persecuted too. Was that to put your sins away? No.
No. Why was it that Paul and Silas sang in prison? Why was it they sang in prison?
Oh, they learned in prison.
What a comforter God was.
And how their hearts burst forth into praise, and the prisoners heard them, and it was a testimony to them.
How much we learn in that way?
That blessed precious Savior with whom we're to spend eternity.
Oh dear young boys and girls, I can't tell you that. I would like to tell you the joy that awaits us when we step into the Father's house in Yonder glory. We're not only going to have bodies like him.
But we will be like him morally.
As well as physically. And we learn in that in the Father's House the depth of the divine bosom in a way that we cannot learn it fully down here.
Well, I must go on with my subject or I won't get through it all. The first chapter of Peter is happiness and blessing through faith in Christ.
I read the 18th verse to show, for as much as you know, that you are not redeemed with corruptible things as silver and gold from your vain conversation received by traditions from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ as of a lamb without blemish and without spots.
Now the second chapter.
Wherefore, laying aside all malice.
And all dire and hypocrisy and envy.
All evil speaking.
Why does it say that the first chapter is salvation through the blood of Christ, The second chapter is grow through the word of God?
Do you read the Bible every day?
Well, the first verse of the chapter.
Is the pulling up of the reeds laying aside all malice?
You won't enjoy the chapter you're reading in the morning if you allow malice in your heart. Now you notice these are the things that have to be seen. Malice and guile and hypocrisy and envy. Evil speaking is the last thing but the first four things that are mentioned.
Are the things that can't be seen.
If you've got girl or hypocrisy or envy, I can't see it.
Now watch my next statement. If you judge the evil thoughts that your brethren do not see, you'll never have to judge the evil actions that your brother induces.
Thought comes before the action.
If you if you have an evil thought, judge it at once.
Now, as newborn babies desire their sin, fear that word sincere means unadulterous. It's sinusira in Latin.
The unadulterated milk of the word that He made grow thereby.
How do I grow as a Christian?
What's the book that is sold for the new nature?
We used to tell our children when sometimes they'd say, well, what's the harm in it, father?
We used to say, well, is it the new nature or the monster of the old?
Oh, I just. I think it's the old nature. Well, what do you have to do with the old nature?
Put it in the place of death. Put it in the place of death, You ask yourself. You've got a problem right now in your life as to what some step to take. Is it the new nature wants of the old? Well, if it's the old nature, you're to keep it in the place of death, aren't you?
Isn't that simple? Isn't that simple when something comes to you?
Why is it your nature or the new nature?
Newborn babies desire the sincere milk of the word, that he may grow thereby.
Is so beauty of tasted that the Lord is gracious and all how full of grace?
All full of grace, very seriously unmerited favor of God.
00:40:02
Now watch my next statement. Please watch it every Christian blessing.
Is so large that it couldn't be like us, every Christian blessing is an apex. God couldn't do more than forgive you and make you one of his children.
And through all eternity, God will never remind the believer of any of his sins.
He says Your sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
Christian blessing is a mountain peak.
If God hasn't won your heart, what more can you do to win it? What more can you do? He couldn't do more than make you a child of God, and Christ make you a member of his body.
And then he says in First Corinthians 3 all things are yours.
Sometimes when I'm traveling on the train, I lookout the window, you know, and I say to the man beside me, you know, all that property out there belongs to my fault, and I'm one of the heirs to be a seat. Of course you think I'm crazy.
But then I give them the scripture. Scripture says that we're heirs of God.
And joint heirs with Christ. That's Roman being heirs of God who desisted Chicago, belong to the whole world. The earth is the Lord. And the fullness there are the world amended gallery. He hasn't taken possession of it yet, that's all. But it belongs to him. And the Christian is an heir God and a joint heir with Christ. So I said you homework.
Tells you that if you're a believer, you're an air problem and joint there with Christ and some rooms going to put possession of it and you and I will possess it without buying it. All is yours and year Christ and Christ is God, you know let me to be a Christian.
Isn't it lovely?
I don't know any blessing possible.
That could exceed the blessedness of being a Christian. Here we are just on the end of the journey. The Lord is about to come.
Have we anything to fear? No. No.
It's all good, but God is behind the scenes, moving all the things that he is behind and prostate cover over all things for the church, which is his body.
All is yours and year Christ, and Christ is God. Well, the second chapter, then, is the way a Christian rose you ought to go.
This is the fool of newborn days. Desire the sincere.
Are unadulterated milk of the word that you may grow there by.
Now the third chapter is happiness. Turn to the third chapter.
And the tenth verse first Peter 3 and 10. The first chapter is salvation, the second chapter is group, the third chapter is happening.
For he that will run out and see Gupta, let him resume his tongue from evil, and his lips that they seek no girl, letting the Stew evil.
And do good let him seek peace and ensure pursue. Never bring anything up in your home life.
Or in the office where you work, or in the assembly.
Never bring anything up that will spoil the peace of your home right or your business life, or your assembly life unless it is necessary to do so for the glory of God.
Never defend yourself.
NEVER.
Matter. Defend yourself, I will write, and the other person wrong. Believe that God will make it all clean someday.
We'll make it all clean. Make it the habit of your life never to defend yourself.
Negative defense. No. Never, never, never. To defend yourself. No. No. Leave it with God. He knows what happened. He knows all the circumstances. You can leave it with the Lord. Always.
Always. Always.
What do we find here?
In the 13th verse, And who is he that will harm you if he be followers of that which is good, but and if he suffer for righteousness sake?
00:45:00
Oh, happy, are you?
Isn't that wonderful If you suffer for righteousness sake? When you say I was right, my sister was wrong and my brother was wrong. If you suffer for righteousness sake, happy are you and be not a favorite their care.
You need to be troubled but sanctify the Lord. Sanctify means.
Set apart the Lord God in your heart, and be ready always to give an answer to every man asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear.
17th verse for it is better with the will of God be so that you suffer for well doing than what evil doing.
Why they took Carl and Cyrus in jail where they write in doing this?
Fallen fire that sang in jail. Were they unhappy?
Want the unrighteous to put him in jail?
Did he? So when I get out, I'll get after them about this business? No, no, he was happy.
Oh, this could be developed. I'm only just giving you a few little points as I pass on from chapter to chapter.
The next chapter.
Is the flesh suffering and the Spirit rejoicing?
4th chapter.
For as much then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh.
Christ suffered for us in the flesh.
What does that mean?
My first arm yourself likewise with the same mind. For he that has suffered in the flesh has ceased some sins.
Didn't the Lord suffer in the flesh? Yes, I've already told you. He was weary with his judgment. He was thirsty. Did he feel the accusations that were thrown against him? Oh, yes, he says in the 59th Psalm. Research has broken my heart, and I am full of heaviness.
I look for something to take.
But there was none, Not one. I looked for comforters and I found none. I've often said that when I visited in the hospital for some Christian. There I said to the Christian lying in bed, the Lord suffered and he looked for comforters and he found none. But you can't say that when you got 13, your mother put your arm around you and tried to comfort you.
With the Lord and said, I looked for comforters, and I found none. His heart felt it.
In go through to put your things away. No, no, Let me go through it for to show you how much he loved you and to be an example of how you and I are to walk through this world.
And so you do the right thing.
Perhaps in the meeting, perhaps it's in connection with the matters of our meeting that is held.
Shall I tell you a little story to illustrate? I remember we had a three days conference in Ottawa many years ago.
Many years ago. I guess that 30 years ago.
And the brother said, well, I'll cook the meat. And he said, all right, thank you, that's fine. But he cooked it very, very rare and wasn't done. And a good May the brethren coming down six months.
Luke's not cooked, right, Meat not cooked right. And so he said. I heard him say it. He says I'm never going to cook the meat for the meat anymore, so just criticize me. Oh, I said, brother, I thought you were doing it to the Lord.
So I was, he said. Well, I said, did the Lord tell you to stop and to prophet buy it and do it a little better next time?
And he did.
Make a conference. He had to cook the meat and he did a better job, but he was going to give up.
We're going to give up. So perhaps mother has told you to do something. Our father or some of the veteran have criticized you for something you did. Did you get cross and give up or did you say, Lord, help me to do it better next time?
Wouldn't that be the right way? Wouldn't that be the right way? We're so here. The Lord suffered. He suffered.
And he that has suffered in the flesh had ceased from sin.
It makes me think of driving my car to the meeting in Ottawa where I live.
And a brother was saying about some ball game he was going to, if he was in the car, some ball game he was going to. I looked at him and I said, brother, do you ever read first Peter four? It says he that has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin.
00:50:04
Is it the new nature wants to go to that bold name of the old one?
Guess it was the old one. Well, what are you to do? I said. He's ever suffered in the flesh that ceased from sin, aren't you? To keep the flesh in the place of death, even if it means suffering?
Never thought of it that way. Well, why not? Why not? It's astonishing how people read the Bible. I walk away from it and never stop to think what it means. But there Jesus claimed I didn't write that. I didn't write his problem either. That suffering in the flesh are you and I to please the flesh.
These are the suffered in the flesh is because even though you're a Christian, you've got the old nature of the flesh in you that loves nonsense. Love's bullishness. Perhaps it's some bit of nonsense and you're going to tell it to your sister, brother, or somebody else. Don't do it.
That has suffered in the flesh have ceased from sin. Now what's my next statement?
Paul gives you the doctrine.
That were fed with trousers, Peter gives you the carrying out of the doctrine and what it will cost to carry it out.
And the Old Testament gives you samples of those to please God and what God did for them in the end, like Joseph or Durga or Daniel.
They walk to please God. What is the end of their path? Blessings.
These are suffered in the flesh.
And so if you have a desire to do something, just ask yourself the questions. Am I doing this to please God or to please myself?
Oh dear young people, the time is drawing to a close.
Or I say from the bottom of my heart.
You and I would only live to please God. We've never lived to regret it. For the blessing of the Lord, it made it rich and he added no sorrow.
The blessing of the Lord is make us a rich to put all put your knees at your bedside and note with the consciousness that you sought to please God during the baby. He is the sweetest thing that the new man can enjoy.
Her precious to have his blessing, how precious it is to have the inflow of his love into our souls. It's a piece of God that passeth all understanding. And you lay your head on your pillow and go to sleep.
In the quiet assurance that your ways have been pleasing to the Lord again, I say never defend yourself. Defend the Lord, defend the word of God, but never defend yourself.
Leave all with the Lord.
Is of himself will be owned and blessed of him.
So first Peter one is salvation. First Peter 2 will go through the word of God. First Peter 3.
Is happiness through obedience first Peter 4? Is the flesh suffering in the Spirit rejecting the 5th chapter?
Is where it will end, so we just conclude with the first Peter 5.
Seven Casting all your terror upon him, for he cares.
About you, For you.
Be sober. Be vigilant, because your adversary, the devil, is a roaring lion walketh a boat, seeking whom he may devour from the faith, knowing the peace afflictions are accomplished in your brethren, which are in the world, but the God of every who have called us to his eternal Laura by Christ Jesus. After that you have suffered a while.
Make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you.
To Hindu glory and dominion.
Forever and ever. Amen.
Where is it going to end? Or it's the God of all grace? And if you end in the Father's house in law?
Province put it glorious in Old Brother, and I feel how imperfectly I've spoken of these things, but they're so precious.
So blessed, so important, we're living in crucial ways of the Church's history.
They'll not be reliable.
That will be in any sense worldwide.
Scripture says hold fast, Baptist self, hasten, no man, take thy crown. And I want to say this here I closed my top.
00:55:06
I'm not a young man. I look back over my life. I had a Christian father and mother that brought me up in the truth. I've read many books. I haven't done Shadow of Doubt. But what the truth as taught in the word of God.
Is herald and taught in our various assemblies.
And to be gathered to the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Where there were light and wisdom of the Word of God is honored in the assembly where you meet or perhaps break, break.
Is an exceedingly blessed privilege given to your God and you young people. The enemy would try and turn you aside and if you ever leave.
The proof where God has put his name, where Christ has put his name, and where the word of God is honored.
And its ministry is faithfully given. It's the most precious spot on earth. The most precious spot on earth.
And value it. And don't let anything ever happen in your life. It will cause you to turn aside.
Cold fast, clap with thou hast. Why does it say Hold back.
Mother gives a child something that is valuable because there's a danger of not doing so, and there's all of the danger among our young people of not holding fast the truth that you've learned from your parents.
May God give you grace and faithfulness.
To hold fast the truth and walk in it.
And walk in it in lowliness. Independence. And if you're tempted right now to give up.
Get on your knees before you get into bed and try to gobbler with grace and strength that is needed to walk in the truth until Jesus comes.
So we just pray together because our time is out.
