A "Greater than Solomon" Is Jesus Christ. He Is the Power of God and the Perfect Wisdom of God. In the Gospel of John Are Laid Out the "Sign Miracles" Which Jesus Performed In a Particular Order, and There Are the "I Am's" Which Progressively Reveal Our Lord and Savior. A Poem from the Pen of Emily Brontë Encapsulates the Profound Truth That Nothing Exists Outside of God

00:00Amen, that's good.
00:02Folks here from back from North Carolina, we're glad to have you.
00:06Y'all make yourself right home with us this morning.
00:08If you have your Bible, turn to the book of Matthew chapter 12, please, verse number 38.
00:15This is Levi the publican, tax collector, despised, hated.
00:23Yet the Lord chose him to be an apostle.
00:24Matthew chapter number 12 and verse number 38.
00:36The scripture says,
00:37Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.
00:45What he answered said to them,
00:46An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign,
00:50And there shall no sign be given to it but the sign of the prophet Jonas.
00:56For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly,
01:00so shall the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
01:06Now note carefully verses 1 and 2, 41 and 42.
01:10The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation and shall condemn it,
01:15because they repented at the preaching of Jonas.
01:19And behold, a greater than Jonas is here.
01:23The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation and shall condemn it,
01:29for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon.
01:32And behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
01:38Father, bless your word now.
01:40Your holy name.
01:41Amen.
01:41You can be seated.
01:42Know carefully that he said,
01:47A greater than Solomon is here.
01:51And Solomon, of course, was the son of David,
01:54king of Israel.
01:56He had a thriving kingdom handed to him.
02:01God gave Solomon wisdom.
02:02Here's what it says of him.
02:041 Kings chapter 4 verse 29.
02:06God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding,
02:09exceeding much and largeness of heart,
02:12even as the sand that is on the seashore.
02:15And Solomon's wisdom excelled,
02:17the wisdom of all the children of the east country and all the wisdom of Egypt.
02:21For he was wiser than all men,
02:23than Ethan,
02:24the Ezraite,
02:25and Heman,
02:26and Chalcol,
02:27and Darda,
02:28the sons of Mahal.
02:30And his fame was in all nations round about.
02:33He spake three thousand proverbs.
02:35His songs were a thousand and five.
02:36He spake of trees from the cedar tree that is in Lebanon,
02:41even to the hyssop that springeth out of the wall.
02:43He spake also of beasts and of fowl and of creeping things and of fishes.
02:48And there came of all people to hear the wisdom of Solomon from all kings of the earth,
02:54which had heard of his wisdom.
02:57And he was undoubtedly,
02:58and you know the story of the two prostitutes and the child that died and the wisdom that
03:03Solomon showed.
03:05And he manifested forth what true love was all about for all to see on that day.
03:11She was willing to give up her son rather than see him cut in half.
03:14And of course that's love.
03:16And she loved her son.
03:18So Solomon was a wise man,
03:20no question about it.
03:21But he was at the top.
03:22And the thing that marks the character of any individual,
03:26my dear friend,
03:27is not the ability,
03:28the gifts,
03:29and the charisma and all that you may have and talent that causes you to rise to the top,
03:33and a lot of people do.
03:35But it's what it takes to keep you there.
03:37That is a true mark of real character,
03:40what it takes to keep you there.
03:42Because once power is in the hands of the wrong,
03:45the wrong person,
03:46they can become a despot beyond your wildest imagination.
03:50They can become a killer.
03:51They can become a monster.
03:53And it has happened,
03:54and it will happen again.
03:56Power is a very addictive thing.
03:59No question about it whatsoever.
04:01And Solomon, of course,
04:02had all of this given to him.
04:05For his father David was a warrior.
04:07He was a shepherd.
04:08And he rose to the top because of his battle,
04:10Solomon because of God's blessing and the anointing that the Lord gave to David.
04:14David was anointed three times as the king.
04:18But Solomon lost it all.
04:20There is tradition out there,
04:21and I'm not saying that you have to believe this,
04:23but there's a certain amount of tradition in the occult world
04:27that Solomon was even instrumental in writing a manual,
04:31some sort of a manual of satanic witchcraft and so forth and so on.
04:36I'm not saying that this happens,
04:38but you may run across this if you begin to study Solomon.
04:41Because, my dear friend,
04:43from the height of where Solomon was,
04:46he went to the depths of that,
04:49no, that is far down as you could possibly go.
04:52In the day of Solomon in the land of Israel,
04:54you could hear the babies as they screamed,
04:56rolling down the arms of Moloch into his belly,
04:59being offered as human sacrifices.
05:02Solomon brought that into the country.
05:05So, dear friend,
05:06in the book of Hebrews chapter number 11,
05:08I don't know if you've ever noticed this or not,
05:10and I've preached this before,
05:11and I'll continue to preach it.
05:13The 11th chapter of Hebrews,
05:14you'll find prostitutes,
05:16you'll find everything under the sun,
05:18listed as people of faith,
05:19as they trusted the Lord
05:20and followed the wisdom and the light that they had.
05:23The one name you will not find
05:25in the 11th chapter of the book of Hebrews
05:27is the name of Solomon.
05:29It's not there.
05:31He threw away everything that was handed to him.
05:34Our Lord Jesus Christ rose,
05:36my dear friend.
05:37The scripture says plainly that he rose in wisdom
05:39and in favor with God,
05:43and he grew,
05:44he matured.
05:45Daily he was in the scriptures.
05:47Daily he was reading the word of God,
05:48and he was praying,
05:49seeking the face of the Lord.
05:51He was the God-man that had come into this world
05:54and had given up all so much
05:56so that he might, on the other hand,
05:58learn the things that a man would learn
06:01while he was here in this world.
06:03And by perfection,
06:05he became what nor the man had ever become.
06:07He, my dear friend,
06:08through a sinless, perfect life,
06:10was the sinless one
06:11who was in absolute and complete obedience
06:14to the Father
06:14and dependence upon him.
06:17And so when he says
06:18that a greater than Solomon is here,
06:20there is no question in my mind whatsoever
06:22that he was greater
06:24in every sense of the word.
06:26In the book of Luke,
06:27chapter number 11 and verse number 49,
06:29the scripture says,
06:30Therefore also said the wisdom of God,
06:33I will send them prophets and apostles,
06:36and some of them they shall slay and persecute,
06:38that the blood of all the prophets
06:40which was shed from the foundation of the world
06:43may be required of this generation.
06:46Now look at how God does things.
06:48From the blood of Abel
06:49to the blood of Zacharias,
06:51which perished between the altar and the temple,
06:53Verily I say unto you,
06:55now if you'd like to see the scripture reference,
06:58it's Luke chapter 11,
06:59verses 49 through 52.
07:02He said,
07:02Between the altar and the temple,
07:05he said,
07:05Verily I say unto you,
07:07it shall be required of this generation.
07:11Woe unto you lawyers,
07:12for you have taken away the key of knowledge.
07:15Ye entered not in yourselves,
07:17and them that were entering in,
07:19ye hindered.
07:20Now if you notice how that starts
07:22in verse number 49,
07:23I don't know if you've ever noticed this or not.
07:25The Lord Jesus Christ is speaking,
07:27and here's what he said.
07:29Therefore also said the wisdom of God,
07:34I will send them prophets and apostles.
07:37Here's the wisdom of God manifest in spoken word.
07:41But the way it's written in the scripture,
07:43it's almost as if the wisdom of God speaks,
07:47like that wisdom we read about in the book of Proverbs.
07:49Before the Lord Jesus Christ was incarnate,
07:52manifest in the flesh,
07:53he was the very wisdom of God.
07:56That's who he's talking about in the book of Proverbs.
07:58And he says the wisdom of God speaks.
08:02So what is this wisdom of God?
08:041 Corinthians chapter number 1 and verse number 24.
08:07Woe unto them which are called,
08:09both Jews and Greeks,
08:11Christ the power of God,
08:13and the wisdom of God.
08:16So the Lord Jesus Christ becomes the personification of wisdom.
08:20His word is wisdom.
08:21His eye is wisdom.
08:22His hand is wisdom.
08:24His personage is wisdom.
08:26Wherever he goes is the wisdom of God moving.
08:28Whatever he does is the wisdom of God in action.
08:31The Lord Jesus Christ therefore becomes the personification
08:34and the perfection of wisdom.
08:37While he was on this earth,
08:38none ever lived before him,
08:40nor will ever live after him.
08:43That were the wisdom of God like him.
08:46Now notice how he continues with this.
08:48In 1 Corinthians chapter number 2 and verse number 7.
08:51But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery.
08:54Even the hidden wisdom,
08:56which God ordained before the world to our glory.
09:01Notice if you begin to study the Bible,
09:04how that so much was already said and done
09:06in the mind of God and in the counsels of the Lord
09:10before it was ever physically done.
09:13It says,
09:15The wisdom of God in a mystery,
09:17even the hidden wisdom,
09:18which God ordained before the world to our glory,
09:21which none of the princes of this world knew.
09:25For had they known it,
09:27they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
09:29But as it is written,
09:33eye hath not seen,
09:34nor ear heard,
09:36neither have entered into the heart of man
09:38the things which God hath prepared
09:40for them that love him.
09:42The wisdom of God was manifested to men
09:45and men were ignorant
09:47and didn't know it when they saw it.
09:49It's like that light that shines,
09:52yet you can't see it.
09:54Ephesians chapter number 3 and verse 10 says this,
09:56to the intent that now unto the principalities
10:01and powers in heavenly places
10:03might be known by the church
10:05the manifold wisdom of God
10:07according to the eternal purpose
10:10which he purposed in Christ Jesus, our Lord.
10:14Principalities and power,
10:16spiritual wickedness in high places,
10:18the real spiritual battle that rages
10:20right above your head.
10:22There are levels of spiritual understanding and power.
10:26Those of you sitting in this house this morning,
10:28if you're born again,
10:29the Holy Ghost is in you.
10:31Your men and women walking on this earth,
10:33that's one level.
10:35But there's a level above that
10:36and that is the level of these spirit beings
10:39that move about.
10:41The ones I told you
10:42when this prince of Persia withstood
10:46the answer to Daniel's prayer
10:50and Michael, an archangel,
10:52had to come and free him.
10:54That's another level.
10:56And then you can rise up another level above that
10:58and that is where Satan
10:59is even higher in a level.
11:02But then there is that ultimate level
11:03that is above them all
11:05and that is the Lord God Almighty himself.
11:08He has never abdicated the throne.
11:11He's still Almighty God.
11:13Nothing can change that.
11:15Nothing can change the nature
11:17of that eternal being.
11:18And so this is why the Bible says
11:20when the church of God,
11:22if you're in this house this morning,
11:24you were cut down out of the field
11:25from among the trees.
11:28You were brought into a building
11:29and before you were ever brought to that building,
11:32you were cut and shaped
11:33and exactly the way
11:35He wanted you to be,
11:36where you would fit
11:37and how you would fit
11:38and only He could put you in that building.
11:42And then when He brought you
11:43and put you into that building,
11:44there was a place waiting for you.
11:46And when He put you in that building,
11:48that place waiting for you,
11:49it was glory to God
11:51because there you were taken
11:52from the land of the living
11:53and you were put into eternal life,
11:56into the land that shall never die.
11:58What are you talking about, preacher?
11:59I'm talking about the construction
12:01of the church of God.
12:02I'm talking about a church
12:04that can't be seen with a mortal eye.
12:06I'm talking about the Bible
12:07that says that a habitation of God
12:09through the Spirit,
12:10that He comes into the house of God
12:12and if you're born of the Spirit of God,
12:14the Holy Ghost inside you
12:15will let you know
12:16when God shows up in a place.
12:20So many people in the country
12:22are so used to dead churches,
12:23the only thing they're accustomed to
12:25is a performance.
12:26A performance.
12:29They work your flesh up.
12:30They beat and they bang
12:31and it's a performance.
12:33And as soon as you walk out the door,
12:34the performance is dead
12:35and you're dead
12:36and you're waiting for the next one.
12:38But if the Holy Ghost is moving in your soul,
12:40there's life within you.
12:42And that life doesn't need to be worked up.
12:44It doesn't need a performance.
12:45It's the power of the resurrected Christ
12:48that's alive in you.
12:50It can't be taken from you.
12:52If you're born of the Spirit of God,
12:54there's a relationship.
12:55There's reciprocation
12:57between the Father who loves to come
12:59or how He loves to walk
13:01in the midst of the church
13:03as He did in the book of Genesis
13:05in the cool of the day
13:06when He walked with Adam.
13:07He wants to walk with us.
13:08God has a desire
13:10to be with His creatures.
13:12You.
13:12You.
13:13He can't fellowship with an angel.
13:15He can't fellowship with a cherubim.
13:17He can't fellowship with any of them.
13:19But He can fellowship with you.
13:20Oh, that we would have
13:22that sweet fellowship with the Lord.
13:23That's the power of God.
13:25And this is what He's talking about.
13:27The manifold wisdom of God.
13:29No doubt in my mind
13:30that these creatures are watching us.
13:33These level above.
13:34These principalities and powers
13:36and spiritual beings.
13:37They're observing us.
13:38They cannot see that life
13:40that is in you
13:40because that's hidden from God.
13:42From them.
13:43It's hidden with Christ in God.
13:44But they can see how you change.
13:46They can see what's going on with you.
13:48And they'll never understand it
13:51because they do not know
13:52the essence of it.
13:53They don't know where it came from.
13:55They know nothing about it.
13:56But if you're born
13:57of the Spirit of God,
13:59you do.
14:00Now, how many of you
14:01have any idea
14:01of what I'm talking about?
14:05Hallelujah to God.
14:07That's the earnest of the Spirit.
14:09That's the down payment
14:10of your salvation.
14:12That's for you.
14:12And if that is in you,
14:14if the one who raised Christ
14:16from the dead dwells in you,
14:17if he's in you this morning,
14:19if the Holy Ghost is in there
14:21and you know he's there,
14:23that should give you
14:24sweet comfort and assurance
14:26because you know you're saved.
14:28You know that you know
14:30that you know
14:30that you know
14:31that you've got a home in heaven.
14:33And that day is coming.
14:35So this is the manifold wisdom of God
14:37because it is according
14:38to the eternal purpose.
14:40The eternal purpose.
14:41He has a reason for us being here.
14:44When we read the Gospel of John,
14:46the Gospel of John
14:46is a wonderful book.
14:48It's the fourth Gospel.
14:49It's not what's called
14:50a synoptic Gospel.
14:51You've heard me mention
14:52many times before
14:53that Matthew, Mark, and Luke are,
14:55if you go to a Bible college school
14:56anywhere, they'll say
14:57these are synoptic Gospels.
14:58Matthew, Mark, and Luke.
15:00A synopsis is a one view.
15:02Sin, come together,
15:03one view optic
15:03of what's going on.
15:05So Matthew, Mark, and Luke
15:06are supposed to give you
15:07generalized one view
15:09of the life of Christ.
15:10But the Gospel of John
15:12is not a synoptic Gospel.
15:14It's different.
15:15Altogether different.
15:17And the Lord Jesus
15:17just told them,
15:18He said,
15:18a greater than Solomon
15:20is here.
15:21Well, the Gospel of John
15:22says some things
15:22the rest of them don't say.
15:24It has what's called
15:25sign miracles
15:26and it has the great I am's.
15:29And it's a wonderful thing
15:30when you begin to look at it.
15:31Let's look at it.
15:32For example,
15:33in John chapter number 2,
15:34these are the sign miracles.
15:37Verses 1 through 11,
15:38He turns water into wine.
15:40Notice how He starts off
15:42His miracle working power.
15:44Notice that He takes new wine
15:46and says to them,
15:47you can't put it in old bottles.
15:49In other words,
15:50the New Testament
15:50is not to be mixed up
15:52with the Old Testament.
15:53The new covenant
15:54of the Lord Jesus Christ
15:55is not some bettering
15:57of the old covenant.
15:58No.
15:58The old covenant is here,
16:00but the new covenant is there.
16:02The old covenant
16:03could only take you so far,
16:05but the new covenant
16:06can take you
16:06to the very presence of God.
16:09You see,
16:09that new wine
16:10He's talking about
16:10is something that is
16:11entirely new.
16:12I mean absolutely new.
16:14It is the new birth.
16:15The new birth.
16:16And so He starts off
16:17His miracles
16:18with the new birth
16:19because the new wine
16:20is the new birth.
16:21The second miracle
16:22in John 4
16:23is the healing
16:24of the official's son,
16:25showing that He has
16:26power over death.
16:28He has power
16:29over sickness.
16:30It shows that He has
16:31authority in this earth.
16:33John chapter number 5
16:34is the healing
16:35of the paralytic
16:36at Bethesda.
16:38Bethesda in Hebrew,
16:39it's a Hebrew word.
16:40It means house of mercy.
16:42House of mercy.
16:43But it was anything
16:44but a house of mercy
16:45to a man
16:45who had been there
16:46for 38 years.
16:47He tried to get in the water,
16:49but he couldn't get in there.
16:50With the moving of the water,
16:51he couldn't get to it.
16:52Somebody beat him.
16:52So he had to go back
16:54with his head down
16:55and sit back down
16:56in the same old worn out spot
16:58that he'd been in
16:58for decade after decade.
17:00With no hope
17:01and no joy
17:01and no peace in his soul.
17:03The house of mercy
17:04was not a house of mercy
17:06to him
17:06until the one
17:07who made the house of mercy
17:09showed up
17:10and the everlasting
17:11Son of God.
17:12And all he had to do
17:14was say the word
17:15and he was healed.
17:16Do you realize
17:17that word is still
17:18powerful today?
17:19Do you realize
17:19that word is still alive today?
17:21Do you realize
17:22the word of God
17:22never dies?
17:23It cannot die.
17:24The word of God
17:25is forever.
17:26And he spoke
17:27and he was healed
17:28on the spot.
17:29Thanks be unto God.
17:31These are sign gifts.
17:33In other words,
17:34it's a sign to the Jews.
17:36In John chapter number 6,
17:37the feeding of the 5,000.
17:38He fed 5,000
17:39more than one time.
17:41He fed them
17:41and they ate
17:42and their bellies
17:43were filled.
17:44And oh,
17:44how they wanted
17:45to follow him.
17:46But he wanted
17:47them to understand.
17:48He said,
17:48I got something
17:49to feed you
17:49that's far,
17:50far better
17:51than anything
17:52that you could eat
17:53like this.
17:54In John chapter number 6,
17:55he told them,
17:55he said,
17:56I'm the bread of life.
17:57Amen.
17:58I am the bread of life.
18:00Sure you eat this.
18:01Sure it's good.
18:02But you're going
18:02to get hungry again.
18:04But if you'll eat
18:05the bread that I'm talking about,
18:06you'll never hunger again.
18:08Moses gave you
18:09manna in the wilderness.
18:10But what I have
18:11to give you
18:11is far,
18:12far greater,
18:13far better
18:14than any of that.
18:15I don't need
18:16another Christ.
18:16I don't need
18:17another salvation.
18:18I don't need
18:19any more bread.
18:20I ate of that bread
18:21in 1973.
18:22He satisfied
18:23my soul.
18:25Amen.
18:26John chapter number 6,
18:27he walks on the water.
18:29Oh my,
18:30he's walking
18:31on the water.
18:32But you know,
18:32one of the things
18:33that really
18:34that get a hold
18:35of me about this
18:35is the fact
18:36that Peter
18:36walked on it too.
18:38I love that.
18:40I mean,
18:40it's something
18:41for the second person
18:42of the Godhead.
18:43And he said,
18:44peace be still
18:44to the wind
18:45and the waves.
18:46And they obeyed him.
18:47You see,
18:48wind and waves
18:48have no intellect.
18:49They can't answer anything.
18:50It is his creative power
18:52that goes forth.
18:54The word that said,
18:55let there be light
18:56said,
18:57peace be still.
18:59And so he walks
19:00in the water.
19:01Isn't that a wonderful thing?
19:03And all Peter's
19:04true to his nature
19:05said,
19:05Lord,
19:06bid me come to thee.
19:07And the disciples
19:08said to themselves,
19:09this man's gone.
19:10Nut job.
19:11We have one here.
19:11No doubt he's gone.
19:13We'll see him go over
19:14and we'll watch him go down.
19:16He walked on the water.
19:18He walked.
19:19Only two men
19:20have ever walked on water.
19:21One of them
19:21was an apostle.
19:23Would you like
19:23to walk on some water?
19:25I'd like to go
19:26where I've never been before.
19:27I'd like to see
19:28what I've never seen before.
19:29I'd like to hear
19:30what I've never heard before.
19:31I'd like to be
19:32what I've never been before.
19:33I want to be with him
19:34where he is
19:35and see him as he is.
19:37My friend,
19:38I'm not going to a place.
19:40I'm going to a person.
19:43Heaven is not a place to me.
19:46Heaven's a person.
19:47Amen.
19:49Amen.
19:50There was a man born blind,
19:51John 9.
19:52He healed him.
19:53This man's a representative
19:54of all of Israel.
19:55They are blind.
19:56They were blind.
19:56Still blind.
19:57He's blinded them
19:58in Romans chapter 11.
19:59And until the scales
20:01fall from their eyes
20:02like the apostle Paul,
20:03he said,
20:04I was one born
20:05out of due season.
20:06The apostle Paul
20:07becomes a type
20:08of the salvation
20:09of the Jew
20:09because he was blind
20:11as he entered
20:11into Damascus.
20:14When the scales
20:15fell from his eyes,
20:17and my friend,
20:17he began to see
20:18what he'd never seen before.
20:20That's exactly
20:21what's going to happen
20:22to the Jews.
20:23You can preach to them.
20:24You can teach to them.
20:24You can do everything
20:25in the world to them.
20:26But until those scales
20:27come from their eyes,
20:29they'll never see
20:30the Son of God
20:31for who he is.
20:33He may be working
20:33on some scales right now.
20:36Not only if you know
20:37what's going on over there,
20:38but the president
20:39of the United States
20:40has struck Iran
20:41and they have destroyed
20:43three nuclear bunkers
20:45as far as we know.
20:46Maybe more.
20:46I don't know
20:46what's going on.
20:48But I do know this.
20:49We may be on the verge
20:50right now
20:50of a knock-down,
20:52drag-out fight.
20:53My dear friend,
20:54who knows?
20:54But here's one thing
20:55about it.
20:56I'm not scared
20:56to death about it.
20:58I'll go to my house
20:59just like I came out of it.
21:00And when I lay my head
21:02on my bed tonight,
21:02if it lasts that long,
21:04I'll do this.
21:05I'll say,
21:06even so,
21:06come,
21:07Lord Jesus,
21:08come.
21:09Amen.
21:10My grandfather
21:11used to bend across me
21:12and he'd say,
21:13say these words,
21:14now I lay me down to sleep.
21:16And I pray the Lord
21:17my soul to keep.
21:18If I should die
21:19before I wake,
21:20I pray the Lord
21:21my soul to take.
21:23How many ever heard
21:24that prayer?
21:25Amen.
21:25My grandfather
21:26prayed that with me
21:27I don't know how many times.
21:28My grandfather raised me,
21:29by the way,
21:29if you don't know.
21:30He was the only father
21:32I ever knew in this world.
21:33And we had that prayer.
21:34Well,
21:34I'll say that again tonight.
21:35I lay me down to sleep.
21:37I pray the Lord
21:38my soul to keep.
21:39If I should die
21:40before I wake,
21:41I pray the Lord
21:43my soul to take.
21:45In him I live
21:46and I move
21:46and I have my being.
21:48Amen.
21:48Glory to God.
21:50If he come today,
21:51come today.
21:52If the rapture
21:53takes place today,
21:54take place today.
21:55My name's written
21:56in the Lamb's book of life.
21:57Nothing can change that.
21:59Glory to God.
22:00Amen.
22:02God bless your soul.
22:03Some of you look shocked to death.
22:07Some of you are too used
22:08to big screens.
22:09Amen.
22:09Yeah.
22:11All right.
22:11We're sure.
22:12So why don't you all
22:13have a big screen?
22:14It costs too much.
22:15Yeah.
22:17Anything over $5
22:18floating in garbage.
22:19Amen.
22:20Nothing to do.
22:21You're screened to death now.
22:23Yeah.
22:24Amen.
22:25First TV we got
22:26was black and white
22:27and the screen
22:27was about that big.
22:29You only had two channels
22:30in Knoxville,
22:31channel 6
22:31and channel 10.
22:33Then they added
22:34channel 26.
22:35You know what I'm
22:35talking about, brother.
22:36And it was a UHF channel.
22:38You had to have
22:39an outside antenna,
22:40an odd looking thing.
22:42Preachers used to say
22:43back then,
22:43you can always tell
22:44the devil's crowd
22:45how
22:46his horns
22:48are stuck up above
22:49their house.
22:50Oh, boy.
22:59And they didn't last long.
23:00There were tube TVs
23:01back then.
23:01One tube started acting up.
23:03Things started rolling
23:04or jerking
23:04and going sideways
23:05and we called
23:06the tube man in.
23:08Ah, let's not get
23:08into all that, Lord.
23:10I've been here a while, folks.
23:12I was here long before
23:14these big flat TVs
23:15ever showed up.
23:16Amen.
23:17There's good stuff
23:18on TV
23:18and there's a lot
23:19of not good stuff
23:20on TV.
23:21Amen.
23:22Then we have
23:23John chapter 11,
23:24the raising of Lazarus.
23:26Oh, yeah.
23:28Oh, my.
23:29You know something, folks?
23:30If that really settled
23:31into our soul
23:32and we got a hold
23:33of that today,
23:34we'd walk out
23:34of this house shouting.
23:36I mean, I can't tell you
23:37how many times
23:37I've been to this graveyard.
23:39I've been to graveyards
23:40all over.
23:40I've been to graveyards,
23:41folks, that people
23:42don't even know exist.
23:43I've gone to the top
23:44of hills, back in valleys
23:45and back in places.
23:46I've been in graveyards
23:47that are just absolutely,
23:49you don't know what it is
23:50unless you've been there.
23:50You don't even know
23:51they're there.
23:52I've been there.
23:53Been all over the place.
23:54And I'll guarantee you
23:55right now there's some widow.
23:57Lord, I'd like to see
23:58my husband again.
24:00I'll guarantee you
24:01this morning
24:01there's a mama
24:02or a daddy
24:03that say,
24:03oh, my little girl.
24:05Oh, honey,
24:05I loved you so much.
24:07Little five-year-old,
24:08six-year-old,
24:08carried a little body
24:09out to the graveyard.
24:10Oh, I want to see you again.
24:12Oh, I want to see you again.
24:14Her picture,
24:14his picture's in the house.
24:15It'll never be taken out.
24:17Every day they get up,
24:18they walk through that house
24:19and they'll see the picture
24:19of that little boy,
24:20that little girl
24:21and they're gone from here.
24:23Let me tell you
24:23about a place
24:24where they don't die.
24:25Let me tell you
24:26about a land of the living.
24:28We live in the land
24:29of the dying.
24:30But let me tell you
24:30about one that's got
24:31the power to say,
24:32Lazarus,
24:33come forth.
24:34Amen.
24:35And you know what happened?
24:37He that was dead
24:38came forth,
24:40bound head in tow
24:41with drape clothes,
24:43loose him
24:44and let him go.
24:45Oh, that's exactly
24:46what happened
24:46when God saved my soul.
24:48He loosed me
24:49and he let me go.
24:51Hallelujah.
24:51Amen.
24:53Then he covered me
24:54with his glory.
24:55He put clothes
24:56of righteousness
24:57upon my soul
24:58and he blessed me
25:00from that day forward.
25:01The rags are gone.
25:03You remember Bartimaeus?
25:04Threw the rags aside,
25:06old rags.
25:07Some of you,
25:08you love your rags
25:09and you hold them up here
25:10and you want your rags
25:11and you can't imagine.
25:12You think,
25:13I'll be naked
25:14without these rags.
25:15You're already naked.
25:18What you need
25:19is to be covered
25:19with the righteousness
25:20of Jesus Christ.
25:22Amen.
25:23And the only way
25:24that can happen
25:24is by faith.
25:25So you got the miracles,
25:26then you got the I am's
25:28of John.
25:29I am the bread of life,
25:31he said in John 6, 35.
25:33He said,
25:33I am the light of the world
25:34in John 8, 12.
25:36He said,
25:36I'm the door of the sheep
25:37in John 10, 7.
25:39He said,
25:39I'm the good shepherd
25:40in John 10, 11.
25:42And he said,
25:43I'm the resurrection
25:43and the life.
25:44Glory to God
25:45in John 11.
25:46He said,
25:47I'm the way,
25:47the truth,
25:48and the life
25:48in John 14.
25:49And then he said,
25:50I am the true vine.
25:52John chapter number 15.
25:53These all,
25:54these all beg,
25:55preaching
25:57and exhortation.
25:59But for the sake
26:00of time,
26:00I can't get into all of it.
26:01But look at John
26:02chapter number 8
26:03and verse number 57.
26:04Here's what he says
26:05in John 8, 57.
26:06It's the only one
26:07of the gospels
26:07that records this.
26:09And here's what
26:10our Lord Jesus said.
26:12Then said the Jews
26:13unto him,
26:15Thou art not yet
26:1650 years old
26:17and hast thou seen Abraham?
26:19Jesus said unto them.
26:21He didn't say,
26:22I've seen him.
26:24No,
26:25he didn't say,
26:25I know him.
26:27No,
26:27look at this.
26:29Verily,
26:30verily,
26:30I say unto you,
26:31before Abraham was,
26:33I am.
26:35Oh,
26:35boy.
26:37Go to Exodus chapter number 3.
26:39He's quoting the Old Testament.
26:40He's quoting the Bible.
26:42Of course,
26:43he quotes the Bible
26:44to point directly
26:45to who he is,
26:46the I am.
26:48He's the great I am.
26:50Oh,
26:51is he not?
26:53Now,
26:53remember I told you before
26:54the best commentary
26:55is the ones written
26:55in the 1700s,
26:561800s?
26:58That's not to say
26:59that there isn't
26:59good stuff today.
27:00There is.
27:01But just because
27:02a commentary is 150,
27:04200 years old,
27:04don't throw it away.
27:06Oh,
27:06no.
27:07Say,
27:07why,
27:08preacher?
27:08Because they had
27:09a concept of God's glory
27:11and holiness
27:12that we seem to be losing.
27:14I want to read a poem
27:16written by a woman
27:17somewhere around
27:19the 1830s to 1840s.
27:22Here's what she says.
27:23Now,
27:23listen to this.
27:24Thy spirit animates
27:26eternal years,
27:28pervades and broods above.
27:31Changes,
27:32sustains,
27:33dissolves,
27:34creates,
27:34and rears.
27:36Though earth and man
27:37were gone
27:38and sons and universes
27:40ceased to be
27:41and thou wert
27:43left alone,
27:45every existence
27:46would exist
27:48in thee.
27:50Our soul.
27:52Oh, yeah.
27:53Do you know
27:54what she just said to you?
27:55What I said to you
27:56the other day?
27:57Nothing can exist
27:59outside of the almighty.
28:01Nothing.
28:01Past,
28:03present,
28:03future.
28:04Things,
28:05spirits,
28:06nothing.
28:07Nothing.
28:08Absolutely nothing.
28:09Her name,
28:10Emily Bronte.
28:13She's the author
28:13of Wuthering Heights.
28:16How many's ever heard of that?
28:17I heard it in school.
28:18This is the author.
28:20Quite a thing,
28:21don't you think?
28:22The people had a concept
28:23of God.
28:24Our concept of God today
28:26is more materialistic
28:27and physical.
28:28Isn't it?
28:29It is.
28:30It's materialistic
28:31and physical.
28:32What can God do for me?
28:33What can He give me?
28:33You know,
28:34this thing,
28:34this thing,
28:34this thing.
28:35And that's sad.
28:37He knows we have
28:38need of these things.
28:39I understand all that.
28:40But,
28:41I don't care
28:43how beautiful
28:44gold is.
28:46After a few
28:48billion years,
28:49you'll get tired
28:50of looking at it.
28:52But you'll never
28:53get tired
28:54of this one
28:54I'm talking about
28:55this morning.
28:57You'll never get tired.
28:58Listen to the Scripture.
29:00Listen to the book.
29:02Of Him
29:03and through Him
29:04and to Him
29:06are all things
29:07to whom be glory
29:09forever.
29:10Amen.
29:12Romans 11, 36.
29:14Where have you been,
29:14Satan?
29:15Walking to and fro.
29:17To and fro.
29:19What do you mean,
29:19where have I been?
29:20You know who I am.
29:21Why, of course.
29:23Walking, seeking.
29:24Who may I?
29:24Who, you know,
29:25who can I devour?
29:28Well, I've been everywhere.
29:28I never get tired.
29:31I'm after them.
29:36Colossians 1, 16.
29:39For by Him
29:39were all things
29:40created that are in heaven,
29:42that are on earth,
29:44visible and invisible,
29:45whether they be thrones
29:47or dominions
29:48or principalities
29:48or powers.
29:51All things
29:52were created
29:53by Him
29:53and for Him.
29:55and He is before
29:57all things
29:58and by Him
30:00all things
30:00consist.
30:02So you've been
30:03walking to and fro.
30:04Yes, I have.
30:05Well, you know that.
30:08And you think
30:09you're free,
30:09don't you, Satan?
30:12And you think
30:12you're your own master
30:14and you think
30:15you're God
30:16and the Bible
30:18calls Him
30:19the God of this world.
30:21Yet there is one
30:22that is infinitely
30:23above Him.
30:26Our concept of God
30:28is too little.
30:30He's bigger
30:30than our mind
30:31can conceive, folks.
30:33Bigger.
30:34Which in His time
30:35He will show
30:37who is that blessed
30:39and only potentate,
30:42the King of kings
30:43and Lord of lords,
30:45who only hath immortality,
30:47dwelling in the light
30:48which no man can see,
30:50which no man hath seen,
30:53to whom be honor
30:54and glory everlasting.
30:57Who's that?
30:58Well, who's the King of kings
30:59and Lord of lords?
31:02But He's dwelling
31:02in a place now
31:03where you can't see Him.
31:05What do you mean?
31:06Well, the light.
31:07He's in light.
31:09He's dwelling in light.
31:11Only the Father
31:11now can show you
31:12the Son.
31:14Wait a minute.
31:16Only the Son
31:16can show you
31:17the Father.
31:19No man knows
31:19the Father
31:20but the Son.
31:21No man knows
31:21the Son
31:22but the Father.
31:23Are you saying
31:24that all these
31:24other religions
31:25are walking
31:26in darkness?
31:28He said,
31:28I am the way,
31:29the truth,
31:31and the life.
31:32No man
31:33cometh unto the Father
31:34but by Me.
31:35I believe
31:36that this Holy Bible
31:37is infinitely above
31:39any religious book
31:40by any religion
31:41on the face of this earth.
31:43This is God's Word.
31:45Yes, I do.
31:47And I'm going to close
31:48with these statements.
31:49I want you to listen carefully.
31:50To kings
31:52he said,
31:54Daniel 4, 17,
31:56This matters
31:56by the decree
31:57of the watchers
31:57and the demand
31:58by the word
31:59of the holy ones
32:00to the intent
32:00the living may know
32:01that the Most High
32:02ruleth
32:03in the kingdom
32:04of men
32:04and giveth
32:05it to whomsoever
32:06he will
32:07and setteth
32:08up over it
32:09the basest
32:10of men.
32:13To the save
32:14he said,
32:15Ephesians 1, 11,
32:17In whom also
32:18we have obtained
32:19an inheritance
32:19being predestined
32:20according to the purpose
32:23of Him
32:23who worketh
32:25all things
32:26after the counsel
32:27of His own will.
32:30To Satan
32:30incarnated
32:31is the Antichrist
32:32he said
32:32and that's coming folks
32:33Satan will incarnate
32:34himself in a man.
32:37Ezekiel 28, 18,
32:39Thou hast defiled
32:40thy sanctuaries
32:41by the multitude
32:41of thine iniquities
32:42by the iniquity
32:44of thy traffic
32:45therefore will I bring
32:45forth a fire
32:46from the midst
32:47of thee
32:47it shall devour thee
32:48and I will bring thee
32:49to ashes upon the earth
32:50the sight of all them
32:51that behold thee
32:52all they that know thee
32:54among the people
32:55shall be astonished
32:56at thee
32:56thou shalt be a terror
32:58and never shalt thou be
33:00any more.
33:01He will literally
33:02be consumed
33:04by fire
33:05spontaneous
33:06combustion
33:07right before
33:09their very eyes.
33:11The scripture says
33:11when Christ comes
33:12He'll destroy him
33:13by the brightness
33:14of His coming.
33:16Then to creation
33:18He said
33:18Isaiah 49, 13
33:20Sing O heavens
33:22be joyful O earth
33:23and bring forth
33:25into singing
33:25O mountains
33:26for the Lord
33:27hath comforted
33:27His people
33:28and will have mercy
33:29upon His afflicted.
33:31And then finally
33:32to Him
33:34they said
33:36Revelation 4, 8
33:38and the four beasts
33:39each six wings
33:41about Him
33:41they were full of eyes
33:43within
33:43they rest not
33:44day and night
33:44saying
33:45Holy, Holy, Holy
33:46Lord God Almighty
33:47which was
33:48and is
33:49and is to come
33:50and when those beasts
33:52give glory and honor
33:53and thanks to Him
33:54that sat on the throne
33:55who liveth forever and ever
33:56the four and twenty elders
33:58fall down before Him
33:59that sat on the throne
34:00worship Him
34:01that liveth forever and ever
34:01and cast their crowns
34:03before the throne
34:04saying
34:04thou art worthy
34:06He said
34:08if I be lifted up
34:09from the earth
34:09I'll draw all men
34:10unto me
34:11If you're looking
34:13for a church
34:14who wants to glorify
34:15its preacher
34:16and its ministries
34:17and lift up
34:17its building program
34:18and all that it's accomplished
34:19you're in the wrong place
34:21I'm just an old
34:23dirty dog
34:24that was saved
34:24by the grace of God
34:25Amen folks
34:27You don't know
34:29but I know
34:30where I came from
34:31Thou art worthy
34:34O Lord
34:34to receive glory
34:35and honor
34:36and power
34:36for Thou has created
34:38all things
34:38and for Thy pleasure
34:39they are
34:41and were
34:41created
34:43I owe Him everything
34:45Yeah I do
34:47I owe Him everything
34:49Sometimes I sit alone
34:52I like to sit alone a lot
34:53think

34:58looking at that tree
34:59for an hour and a half
35:00Good night man

35:03Thinking
35:06Going back

35:11I showed up
35:12General Hospital

35:14Been here a while
35:17Lived a sorry lowdown life
35:20Sorry man
35:22Sorry
35:23Till 1973
35:25when God called
35:27out of the blue
35:29and I heard a voice
35:31that I had never heard
35:32before in my life
35:33and I mean
35:34in a way
35:35that I had never heard it
35:36and all of a sudden
35:37the weight of all
35:38of my sin
35:39and all of who I was
35:40came bearing down
35:41on my soul
35:42and I mean
35:43I was burdened
35:44I mean
35:44I was bowing
35:45I was bending
35:46under that weight
35:47I had to get that
35:49off of me
35:49and all I had to do
35:52was just bow my head
35:53and said Lord
35:53be merciful to me

36:14the running
36:15wasn't in God's will
36:17I don't know

36:19the way God moves
36:20his pastor
36:21when he just runs him off
