One Might Know Jesus as the Babe in the Manger, Born of a Virgin; or Might Even Know Him as Creator of All Things. But When You Come to Know Jesus Personally, Intimately, as Your Saviour Through the New Birth--It Bestows Undreamt Benefits: Forgiveness of Sins and the Weight Lifted Off! Justification by Faith; Saved from the Wrath of God; Life Eternal... Saved from the Degradation of the Filth of This World. And--for Those Who Live Under Demonic Oppression--Saved from the Power of Satan.

00:00Verse number 18, Matthew chapter 1 and verse number 18, now the birth of Jesus Christ was
00:14on this wise when as his mother Mary was a spouse to Joseph, before they came together
00:19she was found with child of the Holy Ghost, that's important.
00:24Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, not willing to make her a public example,
00:28was minded to put her away privately, but while he thought on these things, behold the
00:33angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not
00:39to take unto thee Mary thy wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
00:47She shall bring forth a son, thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he shall save his people
00:53from their sins.
00:55Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled, which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet
01:00saying, behold a virgin shall be with child and shall bring forth a son, they shall call
01:05his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is God with us.
01:10Then Joseph, being raised from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took
01:16unto him his wife, and knew her not, till she had brought forth her firstborn son, and he
01:23called his name Jesus.
01:26Father, bless your word now, bless your holy word as it goes forth.
01:30Amen.
01:31You can be seated.
01:33And thus you've read Matthew's account of the birth of Christ.
01:36Two times he mentions that he is of the Holy Ghost.
01:40The Lord Jesus Christ was fathered by God the Father, by no earthly man, but by God the
01:46Father, by the power and through the instrumentation of the Holy Spirit of God that came upon a
01:52virgin, and she brought forth a son.
01:55So we believe in the virgin birth of our Lord Jesus Christ.
02:00If the church you're going to does not believe that, let them feel the vacuum as you hit the
02:05door, headed out the back.
02:06Get away from that crowd as fast as you can.
02:09You are in a religious institution, but that is no church by any means.
02:14Anyone that denies the virgin birth of Christ, of course, has pulled him down to your level
02:19and made him nothing more than a martyr and a good teacher and a rabbi and this and that
02:24and this and that.
02:25My dear friends, he's God in flesh.
02:27He's the God-man.
02:29He's God manifested in flesh, and that's important.
02:31The angel said, call his name Jesus.
02:33Well, that Jesus, Yesus in Greek, literally means Jehovah saves.
02:38Jehovah saves.
02:39The covenant-keeping God of the Old Testament.
02:42He saves.
02:43In plain words, he's the Savior.
02:45I know him as the Creator.
02:47I know him as the Sustainer of life.
02:49I know him as the one who holds all this together, and that's all wonderful and true and should
02:54be known and should be preached.
02:56But when you know him as Savior, you know him intimately.
02:58Things have changed then because you know him personally.
03:01And that's what's important.
03:03This is why if we're here in this house today and we're going to preach the truth, we're
03:06going to preach to you how that you must know him personally, intimately.
03:11You know him as your Savior.
03:12Yes, sir.
03:13And that's very, very important.
03:16I want you to notice a few things it says in Scripture.
03:18Luke chapter 7, verse 44.
03:20It says, Wherefore I say to thee, her sins, which are many, are forgiven.
03:24For she loved much, but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.
03:29That he said to her, Thy sins are forgiven.
03:33My dear friend, he saves by forgiving of your sins.
03:37That's a wonderful thing.
03:39To have your sins forgiven is a blessedness that an awful lot of people on this earth know
03:43nothing about whatsoever.
03:44Have you ever felt that load lifted from your soul?
03:48Have you ever felt clean deep down inside your being?
03:52Have you really felt the power of God sweep across your life and know that you have changed?
03:57Something has changed in you.
04:00Psalm 32, verse 1 says,
04:01Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
04:07Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord imputeth not iniquity,
04:11and in whose spirit there is no guile.
04:14Amen.
04:15Psalm 32, verse 5.
04:16I acknowledge my sin unto thee.
04:19David cried and said unto mine,
04:20Iniquity have I not hid.
04:22I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord,
04:27and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin.
04:32Selah.
04:33And boy, did he ever have them.
04:35But did God forgive them?
04:36Yes, he did.
04:38He's able to forgive, my dear friend.
04:39Say, preacher, you don't know what I've done.
04:42I don't need to know what you've done.
04:43I'm not the one doing the forgiving.
04:45He is.
04:47And he can forgive from the guttermost to the uttermost.
04:51Amen.
04:52The Bible tells us in the book of Psalm 32,
04:55he confessed it and God forgave him.
04:58Do you know why evil men and seducers wax worse and worse?
05:03You know, do you ever wondered why?
05:04Let me tell you one of the reasons.
05:06It's because of the weight of their sin.
05:09The weight of unforgiving sins becomes too much for them to bear.
05:15No human was ever made to be able to bear a lifetime of godlessness and rebellion and reproach upon God.
05:23Imagine that.
05:24Imagine if you're here today, you're 50, you're 60, you're 70 years old,
05:27and you've lived a godless life and you've got a record behind you and it keeps piling up
05:33and your conscience is seared and burned and you try to go to bed at night and you try to sleep.
05:40It's hard, isn't it?
05:42It's tough.
05:42It's a hard thing.
05:44But you know something?
05:46If you're sitting in this house this morning and your sins have been forgiven, you've been blessed.
05:50If you're sitting in this house this morning and you've got peace with God, you've been blessed.
05:54You've been blessed beyond measure.
05:57Psalm 127 and verse number 2 says this,
06:01It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows,
06:07for so he giveth his beloved sleep.
06:10Amen.
06:11You ever know how a baby sleeps?
06:12No conscience, no worry, no problem, no...
06:15No, just a little thing goes to sleep, just sleeps away.
06:19Do you sleep like that?
06:21Do you have peace when you go to bed at night?
06:23Or do you worry?
06:25Do you worry about what you've done if it catches up with you?
06:28Are you worried about the phone ringing?
06:30Are you worried about somebody texting something?
06:33Are you worrying about a knock on the door?
06:35Are you worried?
06:36Are you worried?
06:38The Bible says the way of the transgressor is hard.
06:41I wouldn't want to live like that, would you?
06:42You don't have to live like that.
06:44Are you watching behind you, looking around the corners?
06:47Are you spying everybody?
06:50Are you dressing people down that come around you and wonder what their motive is?
06:55My friend, don't have to live like that.
06:57You can be forgiven.
06:59You can be forgiven.
07:00In the blood of Jesus Christ, God's Son will cleanse.
07:04He forgives.
07:06Not only that, but it says in Romans 5, 9,
07:09Much more than being justified by His blood,
07:11we shall be saved from wrath through Him.
07:14The apostle says in 1 Corinthians 6, 11,
07:17And such were some of you, but you're washed,
07:20you're sanctified, you're justified in the name of the Lord Jesus
07:23and by the Spirit of our God.
07:25Now, you may not feel the justification.
07:28It may not be something you can put your hand upon and explain,
07:31but it's a legal term.
07:32It has to do with the God of this world who has legal authority.
07:37He has legal power here.
07:39He runs this world right now.
07:41There's only one that can keep Him in check.
07:43There's only one that holds Him back.
07:45He that let us will let to be taken out of the way.
07:47And that's the Holy Ghost of God.
07:50But this devil has authority over you if you don't know the Lord.
07:54He can take you captive at His will.
07:56He can turn your life inside out.
07:58He can come against you with powers you don't even know exist.
08:02He can run you out of your mind.
08:04He can destroy your life.
08:06He walks about seeking whom He may devour.
08:10But the Bible says if you've been born again, you've been justified.
08:13Where's the justification?
08:14Preachers in Christ who went to the cross.
08:17The innocent one.
08:19God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself.
08:22The Lord Jesus Christ bore your sins.
08:25The sin death is paid.
08:27Satan can no longer accuse you of what you've done
08:30because it's covered by the blood.
08:32Christ is the justifier.
08:34Amen.
08:35Therefore, because it's just,
08:37then God is able to justly forgive you.
08:40The Holy One cannot look on past sin.
08:44He cannot condone it in His holiness, my friend.
08:48And holy, holy, holy, He must have a legal right to forgive you.
08:51And He does in what Christ did at the cross.
08:54Amen.
08:55Yes.
08:56Not only that, but John 17 verse 2 says,
09:00Thou hast given Him power over all flesh,
09:03that He should give eternal life to as many as Thou hast given Him.
09:07And this is life eternal,
09:09that they might know Thee, the only true God,
09:11and Jesus Christ whom Thou hast sent.
09:14Amen.
09:15You say, preacher, I'm waiting for the Lord.
09:18Amen.
09:19To open up heaven and for me to start my eternal life.
09:22I'm not.
09:23I'm living it right now.
09:25I'll never see death.
09:28Amen.
09:28He that liveth and believeth in me shall never die, it says.
09:31Amen.
09:31Amen.
09:32Already, folks, the life of Christ is in my soul and in my spirit.
09:37I hear heaven singing.
09:38I see the river of life.
09:40I know there's something greater than this place.
09:42I know the power of God when I see it,
09:45and I know what it can do to you.
09:46I know there's power in this house today.
09:48There's reason for that,
09:50because God's going to do something for somebody in here.
09:53Right now in this house, before we walk out of here,
09:56saved from death because He gives eternal life.
09:59I give unto them eternal life,
10:00and they shall never perish, he says in John 10.
10:03Neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
10:06My Father which gave them me is greater than all,
10:08and no man is able to pluck them from my Father's hand.
10:13I and my Father are one.
10:17Amen.
10:18Take that to heart when He says that.
10:20He means what He says.
10:22Not only that, but He saves from the degradation,
10:25the filth and vile of this world.
10:28Romans 1 verse 24 says,
10:30Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness
10:33through the lust of their own hearts.
10:35For in verse 20, 60, this cause God gave them up to vile affections.
10:41For even their women did change the natural use
10:43and that which is against nature.
10:452 Peter 2 said,
10:46And delivered just Lot,
10:47vexed with a filthy conversation of the wicked.
10:51It's always been.
10:53It's always been in the shadows.
10:55It's always been hidden.
10:57But now they march in your face with it.
11:00They're proud of it.
11:02They promote it.
11:03Even the television stations promote it.
11:05My dear friend, it makes no difference where the culture is headed.
11:09I know what the Bible says, and I know who lives in me,
11:11and I know who I'm saved.
11:13Amen.
11:14But notes carefully, it says the filthy conversation.
11:17The book of Revelation chapter number 22, verse 11,
11:21He that is just, let him be unjust still.
11:24And he which is filthy, let him be filthy still.
11:28Boy, here we go.
11:30Off him to eternity.
11:31And God's passing judgment and says,
11:34If you're filthy, you're going to stay filthy.
11:36Can you imagine wallowing in filth and living in this all for eternity?
11:40Can you imagine something like that?
11:42That's beyond comprehension.
11:45But notes what the Bible says here.
11:47Revelation 1, 5.
11:48He hath washed us from our sins in his own blood.
11:511 John 1, cleansed us from all unrighteousness.
11:55Have you ever been around God and got through praying
11:58and had some fellowship with the Lord,
12:00and when it was over with, you just felt clean?
12:04You just felt clean.
12:06I mean, when you got on your knees,
12:08you felt this burden upon your soul.
12:09You've done something.
12:10You know it wasn't right.
12:11You confessed it,
12:12and you felt the load lift.
12:15But there's more to it than lifting the load.
12:17There's the cleansing.
12:18The song comes back.
12:20The joy comes back.
12:22Oh, yes.
12:22The colors are there again.
12:24The music starts playing.
12:27There's peace in the soul.
12:29And the life takes on new meaning again.
12:31The apostles said,
12:32For me to live is Christ.
12:33For to me to live is Christ.
12:35And to die is gain.
12:36Amen.
12:37Aren't you getting sick and tired of religion?
12:40This American Christianity will drag you down to hell.
12:47I'm so sick of it, I can't stand it.
12:49I want the power of God.
12:51If that's only for a handful, that's okay.
12:53Give me that handful.
12:55If you had just a few people,
12:57preacher, that want to walk with God.
12:59Where are they?
12:59Let me walk with them.
13:01Amen.
13:02Amen.
13:03But I'll tell you something this morning.
13:05I believe we have a new generation.
13:07We got young people today
13:09that inspire me
13:11because I see in them a hunger
13:12for what I'm preaching about this morning.
13:14Yes, sir.
13:16Teenagers, younger kids,
13:17coming up,
13:18and those a little older,
13:1920-something, 30-something,
13:20they have a desire for God.
13:22And I love that.
13:24That's good
13:25because He may come and get me
13:26and I'm gone.
13:27Folks, I may hear that river of light
13:29before the sun goes down.
13:30I may hear the angels singing
13:32before tomorrow morning arises.
13:35But I know one thing.
13:37I know whom I have believed.
13:39And I'm persuaded He was able to keep
13:41that which I've committed to Him
13:42against that day.
13:43I know where I'm going.
13:46I've been here long enough.
13:47I know how fast this world can end.
13:49You better believe it.
13:50I mean, it can come to an end, folks.
13:53Oh, I'm happy.
13:54I've got my barns built.
13:55I've got my house paid for.
13:57I've not got my cars paid for.
13:59Listen, listen, listen.
14:02That could all mean nothing
14:04before the sun goes down.
14:06Are you ready to go?
14:08Are you ready?
14:09Are you ready?
14:11And not only that,
14:12but look what it says in 1 John 3.8.
14:14He that committeth sinners of the devil,
14:16for the devil sinneth from the beginning.
14:19For this purpose,
14:20the Son of God was manifested
14:21that He might destroy
14:22the works of the devil.
14:25That's right.
14:26He saves you from the power of Satan.
14:28Yes.
14:29Yes.
14:30He saves you from that power.
14:32Yes, He does.
14:33I've told you before how I grew up.
14:36I lived on Jerolman Avenue.
14:38How many of you know anything about Knoxville?
14:39I lived in the projects.
14:41I was a little boy.
14:42I lived in my grandfather.
14:43I was probably four years old
14:45when I came to his door,
14:46knocked on it.
14:47He brought me in.
14:48Back in those days,
14:49everybody didn't have televisions.
14:51This is important for you
14:52to understand what I'm saying.
14:54I was just a little boy.
14:55A little boy that had never really
14:56watched any television.
14:58I had no scary movies,
15:00you know, no werewolves,
15:01none of that stuff.
15:02Just a little boy.
15:04But I remember one night
15:05when I went upstairs
15:06and went to bed.
15:08I laid down in that bed
15:09and the ceiling was full
15:11of white things
15:12moving back and forth,
15:14back and forth,
15:15back and forth,
15:16all over the place.
15:18Scared me to death
15:19that I pulled the cover up
15:21over my head
15:21and I laid there
15:22and I literally shook.
15:23And I'm probably five years old,
15:25maybe six years old.
15:27So what happened, preacher?
15:28Well, if you know anything
15:28about the projects,
15:29you know that they're coming
15:30and going all the time.
15:32Somebody had lived there
15:33before us.
15:34Somebody had lived there
15:35before the ones
15:36that had lived there
15:36before us.
15:38Constantly, constantly.
15:39So I had no idea,
15:40had no idea
15:41where, who had been
15:43in that place
15:44when I moved in there.
15:46But I do know this,
15:47I had an encounter
15:48with the spirit world
15:49and it was terrifying.
15:51One time I went down
15:52to Riceville, Tennessee.
15:53How many of you know
15:54where Riceville, Tennessee is?
15:56We went down
15:57to my grandfather's
15:58sister's home
15:59in Riceville, Tennessee.
16:01She was a good cook,
16:03oh, wonderful cook.
16:03She could cook
16:04these big biscuits
16:05that my brother
16:05was talking about
16:06the other day
16:06on a wood-burning stove.
16:09Yes, yes, yes.
16:11But they took us
16:12into the living room
16:12and she said,
16:13now see that picture
16:13on the wall right there?
16:15And it was a picture
16:16of a man.
16:17She said,
16:18now to me,
16:19it's probably
16:19a great-grandfather
16:20which would run us
16:21back into the early 1800s
16:23or somewhere in that time.
16:25She says,
16:25he was a warlock.
16:27A what?
16:29A warlock.
16:31What is that?
16:33And that is a master witch.
16:35That is a male witch.
16:37That is one who calls
16:38upon the powers
16:38of darkness
16:39and brings them
16:41into his family
16:42and uses them
16:42to gain what he wants.
16:44Somebody said,
16:45I want a preacher.
16:45Do you believe
16:46in that stuff?
16:46Let me tell you something.
16:48There are churches
16:49all over this town.
16:51That are like laboratories
16:52with men
16:53with long white robes on.
16:55And they've got
16:55their machinery
16:56and they've got
16:56their books.
16:57And they go about
16:58their business
16:59like it's a machine.
17:01Like some kind of a thing
17:04that is detached
17:05from reality.
17:06You know,
17:07they're clean.
17:08They're too clean
17:09to deal with
17:10what I'm talking about.
17:12But some of you
17:13know what I'm talking about.
17:15Yes, you do.
17:17A warlock.
17:18I didn't think
17:18much about that
17:19until I began
17:20to grow.
17:22Until I began
17:23to mature
17:23in my life.
17:25And I realized
17:26that there was
17:27a strain
17:27in my family.
17:29There was something
17:29in my family
17:30that touched
17:32that side.
17:32A darkness
17:33that had been
17:34brought upon,
17:34been brought
17:35into my home.
17:36I didn't choose it
17:37but it was there.
17:38Some of you
17:39can identify
17:39with me now.
17:40Some of you
17:41watching this
17:41this morning can.
17:43A darkness
17:44had come in.
17:45And I couldn't
17:46explain it
17:46but I knew
17:47it was real.
17:48I had a sense
17:49about things
17:49that other people
17:50didn't have.
17:51I could sense it
17:52and they were
17:53just totally
17:53oblivious to it.
17:55But I knew
17:55something was going on.
17:57I knew something.
17:59But then in 1973
18:00in the living room
18:02on the sofa
18:03I bowed my head
18:05and said,
18:05Lord Jesus
18:06come into my soul
18:07and save me
18:08and write my name
18:09in the Lamb's book
18:10of life.
18:11And I'm going
18:11to tell you right now
18:12that darkness
18:13left me.
18:14That burden
18:14left me.
18:15At that very moment
18:16I was born
18:17of the Spirit
18:18of the living God.
18:19Amen.
18:20Oh yes,
18:21I know exactly
18:22what it is
18:22to be on both sides
18:24of it.
18:25I know what it's like.
18:27That's why I am
18:28the way I am.
18:28I didn't come up
18:29through their fellowships
18:30and their stuff.
18:31I'm here this morning
18:32because I had
18:33a personal encounter
18:34with God.
18:35He saved me
18:37and wrote my name
18:37in the Lamb's book
18:38of life.
18:39Whether they accept me
18:40or approve me
18:41is irrelevant.
18:42I know
18:43where I came from.
18:45And I've got
18:45a message for you
18:46and I want you
18:47to listen to it today.
18:49The church is
18:49of departing
18:50from what's going on.
18:52I went to the Holy Land
18:53and I've told you
18:54that you ought to
18:54remember this one.
18:56And I was sleeping
18:57right there
18:57at the Kidron Valley.
18:59Right there
18:59at the Kidron Valley.
19:00I was close
19:01to where Christ
19:02was praying
19:02underneath
19:03the trees
19:04at Gethsemane.
19:06And I was
19:06in that room alone
19:07and I felt
19:09a Spirit
19:09come in there.
19:11And that Spirit
19:11came into that room
19:12and that Spirit
19:13approached me
19:14and that Spirit
19:14tried to take hold
19:15of me.
19:16And I'm telling you
19:17my dear friend
19:18I'm already born again
19:19when this is happening.
19:20But that thing
19:21came after me
19:22in that room
19:23and I went
19:24into a wrestle
19:25like Jacob did
19:27at Peniel.
19:28I mean I was
19:29in a wrestling match.
19:30And I said
19:31to that thing
19:31in the name
19:32of Jesus Christ
19:33of Nazareth
19:34you leave me.
19:36I belong
19:36to the Lord
19:37Jesus Christ
19:38and His blood
19:38covers me.
19:40He has washed me
19:41my friend
19:41from my sins.
19:43You leave me.
19:45And that thing
19:45left that room
19:46just like that.
19:47Do you know
19:48why it did
19:49friends?
19:50I didn't mealy mouth
19:51around with it.
19:52I took authority
19:53over it
19:53because I know
19:54whom I am.
19:55I know
19:55who I belong to.
19:57I know
19:58who I belong to.
20:00Now what I just
20:00gave you
20:01will cut me off
20:02from a lot
20:02of fellowships.
20:04But let me
20:05let you in
20:06on a little secret.
20:07When they're
20:08having their fellowships
20:09I'm drinking
20:09my coffee at home
20:10so it doesn't
20:10matter anyway.
20:12It's meaningless
20:13to me.
20:14But will it
20:15help you?
20:17Will it help you?
20:19I'll help you
20:20if I can.
20:21I'll pray with you.
20:22I can understand
20:24a lot of things
20:24that a lot of church
20:25people cannot understand
20:26because they've
20:27never been through it
20:27and then that's good
20:28if you've never
20:28been through it.
20:29Fine.
20:30I'm not being critical.
20:31But I'm going to
20:32tell you right now
20:33we have people
20:34coming to this church
20:35that are watching
20:36this that haven't
20:37known anything
20:38but hell
20:39from the day
20:39they came into
20:40this world.
20:41That's all they've
20:41ever known
20:42is hell.
20:43That's right.
20:44Until the Lord
20:46Jesus came into
20:46their life.
20:48And then once
20:48he saved them
20:49they try to tell
20:50people and witness
20:51and you know
20:51give their testimony
20:52and some people
20:53accept it and
20:54some reject it.
20:55They can't believe
20:55stuff like that.
20:58The family sit
20:59right up there
20:59in that building
20:59up in that other
21:01building here
21:01oh I don't know
21:0210-15 years ago
21:03and they said
21:04there's a thing
21:06that comes into
21:07our house
21:07and we've all
21:09felt it.
21:10Now that's good
21:10when you start
21:11getting this
21:11when you've got
21:12three or four
21:13or five family
21:13members all
21:14testifying to the
21:15same thing
21:16at different times
21:17you've got something
21:17real then
21:18and this thing
21:20comes into our
21:20house
21:21and we can feel
21:23a coldness
21:23and a deadness
21:24and we can feel
21:25this thing as it
21:25tries to come
21:26upon us
21:27and it brings
21:28hell upon us
21:29preacher
21:29what can we
21:31do
21:31and I looked
21:33at them
21:33and I said
21:33do you know
21:34that you know
21:34that you know
21:35the Lord
21:35do you really
21:36know the Lord
21:37I'm not talking
21:37about this
21:38I'm not talking
21:39about this
21:39this you know
21:40this long
21:41white robe job
21:42where you
21:43where you quote
21:44all the scriptures
21:44and somebody
21:45waves their hand
21:46over your head
21:47and said
21:47and pronounces
21:48you saved
21:49I'm talking
21:50about a real
21:51encounter with God
21:51because if you
21:53haven't had
21:54get out of there
21:54if you're not
21:56born again
21:57you better leave
21:57the demons
21:58alone
21:58because the book
22:00of Acts
22:00makes it plain
22:01if you're not
22:02saved
22:02those demons
22:03can come out
22:03of that one
22:04and go right
22:04in you
22:05amen
22:07I'm trying to
22:08scare you
22:08I'm warning you
22:09but if you are
22:10born again
22:11you can say
22:13to that thing
22:13get out of my
22:14house

22:23house
22:23and it
22:25will
