YP Sing Address—R. Robert
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.
If one person would leave this door here tonight and not be saved, I can't believe what would go through your mind or through your heart. If the Lord would come right now, what would you think if you're the only person in this room?
Because the Lord had come. You have heard you can be redeemed with the precious blood of Christ, but yet you turn it off. You say I'm not going to listen to that. I'm going to do my own thing.
What if I just started going down the road 1 by 1 asking, do you know the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior? Have you ever confessed him as your Lord? What would your answer be? I'm sure that some would say, yes, I've been redeemed with the precious blood of Christ. Yes, I've been saved by the grace of God. I'm on the way to heaven.
But when we came to you, what would the answer be? What would your response be?
Eternity in hell.
How long does that last? How long are you willing?
To risk the chance.
Of spending eternity in health. No one likes to tell you about hell. No one likes to tell you that you could spend that. He lost eternity in hell either. On playgrounds. I hear it in supermarkets that were held and they don't have a clue to what they're Speaking of. Do you have a clue what's resting over your head tonight?
If you don't know, the Lord is your savior.
Our blessed God and our loving Father, we're so thankful for Thy Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, and we're so thankful that we can freely open up Thy word in this land. We just ask thee that Thou had blessed Thy word to our souls and feed us and strengthen us in our most holy faith. And Lord Jesus, we pray in the most worthy and precious name, Amen.
I like to turn to Romans chapter 13.
Romans, chapter 13.
And verse 11.
And that knowing the time. Do you know what time it is? I'm not talking about the time I have here on my watch. Do you realize what time it is?
And now it is high time to wait out of sleep. You know, you can take a person that's dead and you can have him right here and you can yell and scream at him all you want and he's not going to make a move. You can have another person over here that's sleeping and he's not going to look much different. My younger brother Rick, who is here right now.
Used to sleep really hard and I used to play some tricks on him at night to see if he'd wake up. I put shaving cream in one hand and I tickle his other. Tickle his face.
Asian scrub around. They had shaped him to him on his face. He went and wake up. Is that how you are tonight? You won't wake up, you're saying, but you're going on and say, hey, I want to party, I want to have my own fun. It's time to wake up. Your time here is short, incredibly short compared to eternity.
Are you asleep?
Let's turn and look at a man by the name of Lot. Let's go to you. Just hold your place here and we'll come back a little later on. It's got a lot and see what Lot has to do. And Genesis chapter 13.
Tonight we're making choices. Throughout this conference, you're making choices. You know, when we're young, we have lots of choices to make, and there's three choices that all of us will probably make in this room. Get the Lord series One is what is my profession? What does the Lord want me to have to do? Are you asking the Lord? Are you including the Lord in your life?
Another choice might be, well, where am I going to live?
Do you think the Lord has anything for you now? Does he just save me and say, OK Paul, it's all yours, just take it from here. Not a chance. He has a plan for you. You have a special place in the body of Christ, a special place that only you can fulfill. Not me, only you can do it.
00:05:07
And the third thing is maybe who you're going to marry. If you're asleep, are you going to make a good choice?
If you're not reading the word of God, are you going to make a good choice? If you're not on your knees, are you going to make a good choice?
If you want heavenly wisdom for an earthly pathway, you have to be found in prayer. OK, OK, let's look at what?
Chapter 13.
And verse 11.
And Lock chose him all the plains of Jordan.
Now listen to this one. Chose. Did he stop and act like Nehemiah? Did he stop and say, Lord, what do you want me to do? He chose. You're choosing right now. You're choosing a pathway. What you sow, you will read. OK, let's see what happens. Poor old love here.
And Lot chose him. All the plains of Jordan and Lot of Jordan East.
And they separated themselves, the one from the other. Abraham dwelt in the land of Canaan, Lot dwelt in the cities of the plains and pitched his tent for seven. Where are you pitching your tent? Where you pitch your tent will have a direct result on what you do. It will put you right in sleep. I have been in here before with other young people from when I was 12 years old.
Now some of them have families in there this afternoon. That's great. Love it.
Some others I'll say well.
Don't know, they sat right where you're sitting right now. They heard gospel, our gospel messages just like we heard tonight. And there's no, there's nothing in their life that would point to Christ and say, yes, they know the Lord Jesus as their Savior. There's nothing to say that they're awake. They have a safe life or they have a safe soul, but a lost life.
Dear friend, wake up when you choose. Don't be like Lot and say whoa, that looks pretty good over there. I like that.
And just head off towards it.
If you're looking real quick over into the the 14th chapter and the tempers it would tell you what was out there besides the well watered plains that he saw.
Flying pigs.
Do you think Satan cares how it gets you into a slime pit? Do you think Satan cares how I fall or you fall just as long as you fall? Not a chance. He doesn't care as long as he can get you to fall. That's exactly what he wants. And he's saying right now, hey, when this guys over, you need to get out of here and Boogie, we got something to do.
You're making a choice.
I see young people.
And now that I'm a little older, I hear older people saying what the young people and the human meaning if they do come to me, I don't understand. Aren't they happy? What's wrong?
Are they not opening up the word of God? They're not looking at the places that the different ones that suggest the read. They're just sitting there.
Like they're asleep? Are you asleep? Where are you pointing your tent? Is it towards Sodom?
History is a little bit further. There's a little thing.
And the men of Sodom were women and sinners before the Lord. Does it stop there?
To the Doctor, No, the Lord gives them a grave, exceedingly, exceedingly.
Wicked and cleaners.
This world took Christ and said away with that man. That's their thought of Christ.
This world wants a lullaby. Me right asleep. Oh, it might be a good thing. So I really like sports. I like music too. The music of this world can put you right to sleep.
00:10:08
I used to know more about the Los Angeles Dodgers than I knew about my Bible.
Satan doesn't care how he puts municipalities, he doesn't care how he gets me to point my tent towards Sodom and Gomorrah.
You know, there's another way you can go to sleep too.
You can start compromising the word of God. This is the word of God. This is where we get all our resources from.
Sometimes you go to school and they'll say well.
Sometimes it's kind of adapting to where they are living right now. They were one form of life, but when they got to a certain place, they had dapped with themselves to another, to this their environment. Is that what happened? Is that what the Word of God teaches us?
Little things increasing. We start sleeping. We get into a place where we can put shaving cream on your hand, tickle your face and smear it all over and you wouldn't have a clue to what's going on. You fell into a slime pit. You fell.
Let's go back to.
3/13.
And verse 11 for now your is on salvation nearer than when we first believe the Lord is coming. Is that your hope? Is that my hope?
Is my hope all down here?
Is my hope all wrapped up in my profession? Is my hope all wrapped up in my possessions?
The night is for spent the days of Hannah. Let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of life.
You know a lot of times in my class.
I'm kind of limited to what I can say or what I can do, but I have a lot of friends.
I see some beautiful garbage cans around here and they're all decorated up and they're just beautiful. Absolutely great. But what's inside of that garbage can? Garbage? Put something down at the bottom. Might be pretty good.
Sometimes I'll take a kid chewing gum and they're not supposed to chew gum in school or something real. Jose, put your gum on the garbage can, please, and you can eat it at recess if you want to.
You know watercolor. Let me know. Yeah, OK.
So about when the day is about 3/4 finished and the garbage cans halfway pulled, I'll say OK, I want Ray Jose to come up here now and get her grandma out of garbage can.
In augmented, they'll tell me in Spanish. No way, not that, champ. So well, why not your guns down there and it's so good.
I don't want to go through the garbage.
Oh come on, who will put their head in the garbage can for me? Not me. I'm not going to do it. I'll say well, and they all like to have parties and I do too.
I'll say, OK, we're going to have a party and you can bring ACD if you want, but.
If it has any bad words on it, I don't want to listen to it because I've put my head into the garbage can. You know what I said? Yeah, I'm not reaching to the garbage can. Pull out a piece of garbage and grosses them out. I cram it into my ear and that's what you're doing. You're listening to garbage. If it goes in, it's going to come out and one little boy will see. My brother uses bad words too.
If you listen to garbage, it's going to come out.
They will. Come on.
I went to this.
Little girl's house, she wanted me to come over and she's in my class. I want to come over for a birthday party. And her brother's a little older. And he says, Paul, I want you to come upstairs and listen to my music. And I'd love to. So I go upstairs and I wasn't into his music. He turns on his music and I had some pretty nice acoustical guitars and electric guitars, which I like. And I'm listening. All of a sudden the words come on.
00:15:08
Every other word was a bad word and this kid doesn't understand English too well.
So I'm saying to myself, well, how can I get this guy to turn this on?
Everybody says mom and dad come and roll in and every word is I'm just totally embarrassed in them.
And they asked me if I liked the music and not really. And I said, well, why not?
They have bad words in it and if I translate it to you, you wouldn't be too happy.
So they managed to take out the CD.
What I'm trying to get at this world is wicked, and it doesn't care how it allows you to sleep. It doesn't care what it can do to turn you off. All it does is when I'm rocking sleep and when you put garbage in your head, when you put garbage in here, it's going to come out.
This will look further in her chapter.
The armor of light. Let us watch verse 13. Let us walk honestly as in the day, not in writing drunkenness or chambering or wantonness. Not in strife and envy. Now I want to speak a little bit.
Of our everyday life.
Or maybe when we come to conferences or like Laughing Pines or other places we go.
I want you to put on Christ. I want you to be able to show love. I want you to show timing to one another.
There is nothing more destructive to me than you see a bunch of.
People that long through the Lord Jesus Christ that are in the body of Christ.
And there's a lot of destroying.
Sometimes in class, I'll, I'll pick out a little boy and I'll say here's my dad. Hey, dad, how you doing? This guy hit the fountain of youth. Look at him. Not bad, huh? No wrinkles, no Gray hair. Not bad. And I'll get a little girl and I'll say this is my mom.
And then I'll pretend like I came home from school and I'll say.
Boy, I had a great day at school today, Mom, they called me ugly Boy, it was fun, it was great. They all called me ugly and stupid.
Is that what I would say? And all the kids would be raising their hand and wanting to say something.
And I have this one little boy in classes.
Kind of budget agencies, no. And it doesn't know the English word very well. And it says you have hurt and in your heart young people when we say bad things about each other.
Read. Give each other a bad time.
Or to say things that are not for the heart. It's just like taking your fists and smashing right upside the head.
Be kind, be loving once you realize I'm not asking you to be best friends with everybody here you can, but I am asking you to put on credit to show love, be kind to one another. That's what the Lord is asked is you to do. Is that hard? Say hey good morning, how are you doing?
Is that Buddha? I don't think so.
Is it for me to say, well, how's it going in school? How's the grades going?
And Bill, let me hear.
Look at the last verse.
Wilma Dean.
But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ.
And make no provision for the flesh to fulfill the lust thereof. Young people, there are lures for our hearts in this world.
Satan wants to take our heart away from the Lord Jesus Christ. He wants us to pitch our tent towards Sodom. He wants the law by me to sleep. So I'll do nothing. And each one of you is a certain impressed whether you realize it or not. Yeah, you've been redeemed with the precious blood of Christ. Each one of you have a special place in the body of Christ.
And only you can fulfill it, not me.
I can't do what the Lord's asked you to do.
00:20:04
I can tell you something right now and you can do.
When you go home tonight.
Before you go to bed, you can get on your knees and be an apopress. You can pray for one another.
That of her job. Every time I would get on my knees, bone. Yeah. I just want to go to sleep. Forget that.
Do you read your Bible?
Don't let the Satan might be asleep. Don't pick your attempt for Sodom. Let's look at something else about law. OK, let's go over to the second Peters.
Second Peter, chapter 2.
Second Peter, chapter 2.
And verse 7.
And delivered Just Love vets with a guilty conversation of the wicked.
Or instead of using conversation we could just say manner of life that are OK their lifestyle.
Best with their filthy conversation or their lifestyle.
Young people.
Do you know more than me, or as much as me, the fact that I'm learning every day from third graders?
With the access of Internet.
Or music.
Or television.
It's incredible.
While.
These kids that I work with.
Are a lot different than kids here. These kids here are a little bit, have a little more of it.
But I can tell exactly what they've been listening to, what movies they've been going to or have access to.
By their language, By what they do.
OK, sometimes that I'm pretty strict.
And maybe I am.
But I want you to incorporate this in your daily walk. Now why do I want you to pray every day and read your Bible?
But I want you to show clients to others.
We walk in the world just like Lot was based here.
He's just are you just before God?
Does it hurt you when you hear the Lord's name in vain?
Does it bother you the filthy conversation?
Or does it just kinda numb you and you don't cure after a while?
Think that Christ died for you. He shed his precious blood.
He just did not save me and say OK Paul.
You're all OK now, you just go on your way and then when I come will be with me and glory. No, he doesn't. He doesn't do that. He has a special plan for you, a special plan for me.
And if we're not walking, if we're pitching our tent the wrong way, if we're going to sleep, we will not go that way.
Disclosing prayer.
Our blessed God and our loving Father.
Just pray that there's not one soul here that still has not confessed thy Son, the Lord Jesus as our Savior required to leave. There's this one person here, so maybe more that's never confessed thee, never taken a step of faith that they would do so tonight and to Lord Jesus. We just pray that there is a young person here on the balance.
Of pitching their tent the wrong way. Of going to sleep.
We pray that they would wake up, that they would not have a lost life. We pray.
00:25:03
That they and results kept each day by the grace of God. In Lord Jesus we pray, and the most worthy and precious name, Amen.
OK, so.
