Hi, this is Pastor Tony Alama, a world pastor, that is, and we're on part 82 of how to have
God's life living in you.
This is program number 184, and if you'd like a copy of it after the program, you can
order it.
Here it will give you four different ways that you can order it.
And we have some letters here.
I don't know what they say, I haven't listened to them, but Michelle will be reading those.
And right now let's all go to the throne of the Lord to ask him to anoint this service
and make it, Father, as you speak to me.
Make it make a difference in the people's lives out in the world that their lives will
change from bad to better, from bad to good, from evil to good, and let the Holy Spirit
convict those that are sitting in churches everywhere that are not really saved and that
they too will be saved as well.
Lord I ask that you bind Satan on earth, and if you need, if you want to speak through
me and uncover more things today, well then I pray that you'll do it so that Satan can
be bound in heaven just as we bind it here on earth by exposing it.
Father, I ask it in.
And Lord I pray that everyone, every mother, that is a good mother, has a very happy mother's
day.
This is Mother's Day today, it's a very important day because everyone that's in the world had
a mother and there wouldn't be any population at all.
And I pray, Lord, that you convict the evil people in government to honor Mother's Day
by taking the taxation off of people that are married and giving tax breaks to homosexuals
and sending children to be have abortions and giving them birth control pills and condoms.
Lord I pray that you will convict these wicked people that their souls might be saved.
I pray, Lord, that you will convict homosexuals and people that are in the Catholic cult and
Buddhism in Muhammadism that they'll come out of there and receive the only true Messiah,
the only true God.
Lord I ask it in Jesus mighty name and everyone says amen.
Amen.
Alright, where's the first letter from?
In the Democratic Republic of Congo?
My very dear Pastor Tony Lomo, my thankfulness, I thank you for having thought of me with good
while sending me the Bibles, a series of world newsletters, pamphlets such as Beware of the
blessings from the Vatican and its clergy and French Messiah books, a work that is about
the divinity of Jesus Christ.
Thank you again.
I eagerly would like you to please write me down on your list of coworkers here in Africa
if that is possible because I want to learn from you.
This gift that you have planted in my heart surpasses all other things.
My thanks I send to you and those of the other beloved that I have been able to share some
of the books, Bibles and literature with.
Many of them are convinced that the Lord has put exceptional truths in your heart which
are transforming the lives of the people here.
Once again I send my sincere thanks and encourage you to do this more.
If you want to please include my name on your list of monthly distributors at Tiena
from Kinshasa Republic, Democratic Republic of Congo.
Praise the Lord.
Amen.
All right.
The next letter please.
From Galesburg, Illinois.
Dear Pastor Lomo, I just wanted to thank you for the CD, How to Have God's Life Living
in You.
It was so wonderful to listen to your Easter service and to be able to hear it.
Praise the Lord.
I have started back to church at Calvary Assembly of God Church.
I used to go to that church and actually was saved back in the 80s.
I was wondering since I had become a backslider about going to church if I need to know if
I should be rebaptized.
Well, a person can be baptized again because it must have been that you were not being
fed in your church, the Holy Spirit, and also some strong possibility that if you did
the things that you were doing, you left and went away from the Lord.
You may have done it significantly.
And if you did, you need to repent again.
Yes, it seems as though you have.
And then yes, it's all right to be baptized again, but this time make it stick.
And then what?
I didn't go to church because Jerry said there were no churches in our town that preach the
true gospel, the pure church.
I'm confused, but I feel God's love moving in me and I want to stay that way.
I would like you to send me your literature by biting the bullet.
Again I want to thank you for the CD and God bless your work throughout the world.
Again thank you.
You only have one CD of how to have God's life living in you.
This is the 82nd CD or tape that I've done recently.
I've done many hundreds of tapes similar to that in the past, but you can get all these
CDs that you want.
And we're on the Internet in case you don't have one, we send you tapes all you need.
And it sounds as though you're going to need a lot of my literature.
So when we send literature, don't just send her he or she, I don't know, it's a she, send
her also copy of every one of my newsletters, at least 40 or 50 back so that she can read
them and get strong in the Lord and know, begin knowing what the Bible says more than
she ever has before.
Okay.
Then what?
Yours in Christ, Maryland, P.S., I forgot to tell you I walked daily for exercise and
have been distributing your literature at our high school.
If one teenager is saved, then I'm blessed.
Thank you.
Well even if they, I don't get saved, you're going to be blessed, whether they accept or
reject because the Lord sees your effort and the Lord gives you a big E for effort.
It really does it as long as you preach the gospel.
He told us to seek you the same thing.
Go and preach to me, says they're not going to receive it but do it anyway and you're
going to get the same reward whether they accept or reject.
Okay.
Because you're doing the job that I told you to do.
And so few people get discouraged if somebody doesn't accept the Lord Jesus Christ.
That doesn't upset me at all.
And then there's people out there in radio land that will say, oh that's awful that he
says something like that, that he doesn't, it doesn't matter.
Oh it should matter to the people out there in radio land whether you accept or not because
if you accept you get to go to heaven, if you don't you're going to wind up in the hell
in the lake of fire and you're going to be the one that's upset.
I'm saved.
Okay.
And those you people that hear the gospel and then just keep being the same obnoxious way.
You are going to be in hell in the lake of fire if you don't straighten out.
Now I don't have a ice cream and cake or cookies and milk type ministry.
My ministry tells it like it is.
All right.
And that's just the way it is.
Without the fear of the Lord you're not going to serve God at all.
Okay.
Now get the fear of the Lord.
Start reading the Bible and get some of these pieces of literature that I've written.
There are many, many souls are being saved from the literature and the tapes and I will
give you a schedule of the radio broadcasts, how you can get in touch with our radio broadcasts
because my radio broadcast is everywhere in the world.
A lot of it is in Africa and India.
It's definitely on a shortwave.
It is here in the United States as well.
Into Central and South America.
All the continents received the shortwave message and then we have it on AM radio as well.
Okay.
Now what else?
Next letters from Somalia, Ghana, West Africa.
Hello great one in Christ.
It is a great pleasure to mail you these few words of mine.
I hope the God that always blesses you, bless you.
I have received the literature and I thank you very much.
May the God that never sleeps and never forsakes, reward and bless you, your family, pastors,
church members and every single person that reads your literatures abundantly.
Pastor, people are embracing your newsletters and literature.
Now I have told and introduced everything to my pastor.
I sent some of the literature to him and he loved it and demanded for more.
He then helped me in sharing them.
Now our church will be going to a youth camp meeting.
The pastor requested for more of your holy books.
It is unfortunate many people here can't afford to buy holy Bibles.
In fact, the one you sent me, they fought about it because everybody is urging to receive
one.
The most important thing now is my pastor needs your literature, the Messiah book world newsletters
and holy Bibles.
He said I should offer you his email address.
He said you should mail him so that he will be connected to you.
Since we are all serving the same God, I believe you will never disappoint us.
What I need most are the Bibles because they don't have them.
Please send them within the shortest time because we want to send them to the youth camp meeting.
We need about three parcels of holy Bibles, two parcels of the Messiah and two parcels
of your literature.
And even more pastor, please don't disappoint me because at first I've been doing the sharing
alone.
And now since I told my pastor about it, he also joined me and in fact we need more within
some shortest time since the youth camp meeting is at stake.
My pastor is very, very serious.
He really needs them.
When I offered him, he went through and praised God for the wonderful things he is doing.
He got happy that you would help us with the literature and Bibles to distribute to your
people.
Let me assure you they are winning many souls, delivering many souls.
Send them please.
Thank you.
God really bless you.
Lilo from Samonya, Ghana, West Africa.
The Lord bless you as well.
And mail rooms and everything that they need.
All right.
And that it?
Yes.
Okay.
So Sharon, let's begin with part 82 of how to have God's life living in you.
And also I'd like to add that when we send literature out or tapes or CDs, they are
absolutely free of costs and no postage, but so ever.
We pay the postage.
All right.
Because that's a big factor.
There's a lot of charlatans on television saying, we want to send you something absolutely
free.
And it might cost them a quarter to manufacture.
They send it to you and they charge you five or six or ten dollars handling charges, postage
and handling charges.
And so they're making money on their 25 to 50 cent or a dollar item.
But that is the way it is with this.
Everything we send you is absolutely prepaid.
We pay it.
We're picking up the tab on it.
There's postage paid and absolutely free.
Okay.
Our goal over here is to get the gospel out to the world.
We're not looking to flee scotch sheep.
The Lord says feed my sheep.
Don't flee some.
Amen.
Amen.
All right.
Then what?
Each of us has a mind and we have affection and we all have a will.
Yes.
We do have a mind.
We have a soul.
We have a spirit and in our soul is a will.
And God never makes us do anything until the fear of the Lord comes upon us.
Then he starts calling us what to do.
We know what the consequences will be if we don't do it.
So Paul said we'll be a castaway.
He would.
And if he would, it's for sure we would.
If we don't continue preaching the gospel and obey in the Lord's commandments.
Now there are a few scriptures that I'd like to back that up with is everybody turning
through to the wrong.
Chapter 30.
Chapter 30 and who's around me.
And verses 16 1 6 chapter 7 16 17 18 16 through 19.
Does everybody have that?
All right.
So I assume you people are in radio land have that as well.
So go ahead and read that Sharon.
In that I command thee this day to love the Lord thy God to walk in his way and to keep
his command.
Okay.
Now to walk in his way means that we do what he does when he was here on earth as a man.
And he never lied.
He never fornicated.
He never committed adultery.
He never stole anything from anybody.
He never broke any of the moral law.
And the moral law is intact still.
And the people that tell you that you don't, you can still sin after you're saved our false
prophets.
The Bible clearly tells us that that is so.
And then you may have read the scripture in the first John that says, now if we see and
we have an advocate with the father through the son of Christ Jesus and you know he'll
take away the sin.
But that's just, that's means if we repent of that sin.
He's not.
He doesn't condone it.
He says that he that sin is the son of the devil.
Okay.
And the plaintiff states it in that chapter.
Now in the first John.
So go ahead.
And that I command thee this day to love the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways and to keep
his commandments and his statutes and his judgments that thou may as live and multiply.
And the Lord thy God shall bless thee in the land with her thou goest to possess it.
But if find heart turn away so that thou will not hear.
Yeah, that goes for all you people that call yourself Christians and you turn away from
the Lord you go to church to do business deals and to show off your new clothing,
your glad rags.
And you know just to go there to try to find a wife or a husband.
If you there's going to be curses I read it to go ahead.
Just read the last line.
But if find heart turn away so that thou will not hear but shall be drawn away and worship
other gods and serve them.
I denounce unto you this day that you shall surely perish and that you shall not prolong
your days upon the land.
You should surely die the Lord of Killian.
The Lord says, so said, forget God he says I'll carry you the pieces.
And that's why I say that the way to renew your mind is to continue meditating on the
word of God.
That means to be saying the scriptures over and over again and over again and be meditating
on the one so that you have them memorized so that you're flooding your mind with the
scriptures.
So that your mind becomes renewed.
All right, then what else?
You shall surely perish and that you shall not prolong your days upon the land with a
that passes over Jordan to go to possess it.
I call heaven and earth to record this day against you that I have set before you life
and death.
Lessing.
Now you have the Jews the church in your soul.
You have a will.
So he says, okay, now I want you to choose.
I want you to choose life or death.
I want you to choose me or yourself.
Now there's still people even in this church that have chosen themselves.
That's all they do.
They don't care if they abuse everybody around them.
They don't care if they are put themselves first and foremost.
It doesn't matter what comes and goes to put themselves first.
Okay, so go ahead.
I have set before you life and death.
Lessing and cursing.
So your soul has the choice.
God gives you a choice to choose life by doing what the Lord says or death just by willingly
walking and obnoxiously doing your own will serving your rotten self.
And because of that you've taken advance of other Christians.
You've walked all over them and therefore the Lord has enlarged hell.
And the lake of fire because of the so many other, so many souls that are going to go.
The souls that have accepted the Lord Jesus Christ, Christians and then they decided with
their own will.
But they don't want to do what the Lord says.
And the point of what a time to be doing something like this is just the very last moments of
time.
The very last moments to turn your soul into hell to choose death rather than life.
And so it's your choice and you're going to know that it's a chance.
The Lord keeps bringing these messages one after the other and you get worse and worse
some of you.
And you've chosen death rather than life.
But then all of a sudden they get many letters in from people in Africa and the other Philippines
United States.
Mexico, Canada and everywhere in the world saying they've chosen life and that makes
that encouraging speech.
But if they didn't I still am encouraging the Lord.
Amen.
Because the Lord I recall all the different miracles that the Lord has done for me and
through me and through me.
And I just, that gives me time to assess who I am and what the Lord has done for me.
And some people never take the time to count the blessings that the Lord has given them.
And so therefore they just think that they deserve what they have and that they deserve
more than the other people around them.
And God says he'll kill you, shorten your life.
And some people that are doing these things are desperately sick.
I mean they don't have good health.
And you know the Lord is very merciful by repeating messages to them.
He gave them space to repent and then they don't they get worse.
And so all of a sudden he comes and rips them to pieces because they've forgotten God.
All right.
They're continuing.
Therefore choose life that both thou and thy seed may live.
Yeah.
Because even if you choose life even your children will have longer life.
The Lord told the person in my church that there was that if they did this sin, this
horrible sin that he the Lord himself would kill his son.
And that's the thing to stop that person from doing because this person knew without
a doubt that God doesn't lie.
If he says he'll kill you and he says so right in this scripture he'll kill you and your
seed that he'll do it.
Okay.
Because he's not a liar like man.
Okay.
So let that sink in here so and people should repeat this scripture over and over and there
is no way of life.
So that they reproves themselves because the way of life the reproof is the word of the
Lord is the way of life.
In other words, it's the highway of life.
Okay.
Let's get back into the message.
Well, we could do one more scripture.
John 14 21.
Now the Lord tells us that people will do two more scriptures that those that love him
keep his commandments.
And so those that don't love him will not keep his commandments.
And there's a lot of commandments.
What one of them is to take up your cross, deny yourself and take up the cross and follow
the Lord.
That means do what he did.
Let him live out his life and give you the power by living in you and let him work in
you instead of you abusing people and taking advantage of people and thinking that God
owes you a favor.
No, you owe God the favor.
The Lord tells you that because the fact that he has paid the price for us, that it's
our reasonable duty to sacrifice ourselves as a living sacrifice unto him to give our
bodies as a living sacrifice unto him for him to live in us and work in us and represent
his self in us.
That's our reasonable duty.
So and then people say, well, we don't have to do any work at all.
False prophets.
Now the Lord warns many times in the book of Matthew and all over the place of the false
prophets that will be here chapter 24 in the book of Matthew where he tells us about the
end of the world.
And he tells us that there was warns five times in that chapter alone of false prophets
to people aware of them because they're telling you all sorts of things and it's getting so
it's just every day you hear the Da Vinci code and then you hear these still preachers
doing a promotion for them.
I mean, they've got the pictures of it and they say the guy is doing it and just one
thing after I refuse to talk about that piece of garbage and people that want to spend money
on stuff like that rather than tie that unto the soul winning church, you'll pay for that
as well.
Because that's not keeping the Lord's commandments.
The Lord says to read the Bible, not false doctrine because it's as though you're actually
trying to see if you can be convinced that the Bible is wrong.
So you're looking for a license to go out and sin and God will kill you for that.
All right.
And then they're saying that, you know, Judas was a good guy.
That's heresy.
The Lord said he's a devil and the Lord doesn't lie.
He's not sneaking around talking to Judas in a corner someplace and saying, go ahead
and forsake me.
No, the Bible says that the Holy Spirit entered into him at one time and then at this point
in time, the devil entered into him and the Holy Spirit departed from him and he betrayed
the Son of God.
And the Bible said that it was better that he had never been born than to have done something
like that because he's going to spend eternity in the lake of fire.
And that Jesus was married.
He's married, all right?
He's married to those of us who are the corporate body of Christ.
We are the bride of Christ.
He was never married to any woman.
Now you people of the Bible says anyone that preaches any other doctrine other than that,
which is in the Bible that occurs.
They're a curse.
I know the people that wrote the Da Vinci code and came up with this Judas thing and
also the Mary Magdalene having a child by Jesus.
These people are cursed and I want you people that have written these things to know that
you're a curse and I'm not going to promote your book like a lot of silly supposed to
be evangelists are because it's heresy and the Lord has called me not to preach heresy.
But to preach the kingdom of heaven, all these people, these either evil preachers or
naive preachers that don't realize that they're promoting that guy's book.
And I don't promote it at all.
I just, I mean, it's just, I wouldn't look at it.
I don't even, when I hear them talking about it, I just turn them off.
I'd rather watch Lassie or Bose or somebody who lives in false doctrine.
I know it's just, yeah, what it is.
It's a dog.
All right.
It doesn't try to lie and say that it's something else.
It's amazing that they are not saying that Lassie had cats instead of dogs, you know,
or babies.
I mean, because, you know, and there's enough silly people in this world, those Bible says
that they know in that thing they're blind and they, you could tell people, well, you
know, on any false doctrine, you know, I was considered one of the top salespeople
in the world before I got saved.
And the hardest thing that I've ever had to sell, and you know, I'm not selling it
because everything we give away is free and Poses paid.
But, and then we build homes for people that will come into the church and want to serve
the Lord, but we really scrutinize to make sure that they really wanted to do that.
But it says, there's no possible way that we're going to let anyone move into this church
if they're not 100% sold out to the Lord.
All right.
So let's continue on here.
I just, you know, there's no point in trying to convince people.
I don't sell anything about the hardest thing that I've ever tried to convince people
of in my entire life is about the Lord.
And that's the one thing I know for sure is true because I saw the Lord appearing from
me and some people say, well, were you on drugs?
No, I never was.
I never was on drugs.
I was the executive vice president of the world's largest chain of health spots.
I was into this strength, health and energy and I could have won Mr. American Contest and
also Mr. Universe.
But I wouldn't go out to address in those little shock straps.
That's the only thing that prevented me from being there because everyone said I would
have won.
So you don't get that kind of a build and in that kind of health by taking drugs.
All right.
So no, I saw the Lord and I gave up a beetle's album, the Swarth Over 100 Million.
I still own it, but I don't sell it.
It's approved to people that I'm not in the ministry for money.
And we've been down and out.
We know what it's like to be broke in this ministry.
We went through the fire without money and money just doesn't get to me.
Okay.
I can eat it, peanut butter and jelly sandwich or I can eat, you know, whatever the Lord provides.
I've been there and so any of you people that are out there, they're not at our hungry.
You could call and we'll send you food.
And but because we know what it feels like to be hungry, I do.
Most of the people in this church don't know, but I know.
Okay.
And then go ahead and read.
John, chapter 14, verse 21, he did half my commandments and keep it them.
Those that hear the commandments and keep them.
That's the crucial thing because everybody hears the commandments and we get to gospel
to everybody.
You know, that we can't hundred some millions of people then finish it.
He it is that love is me.
Yes.
And he that love is me shall be loved of my father and I will love him and will manifest
myself to him.
So if you're not keeping all the commandments and if your pastors tell you that, oh, you
don't want to be a fanatic or if anyone says you're a fanatic for keeping the Lord's commandments,
just turn around and call them fanatics.
We're not doing their fanatics for Satan.
Now, I think God deserves a few fanatics, don't you?
Yes.
Because you see all these people rooting for football, basketball, baseball teams and
crowding around this devil, the pope and other devils that have exalted themselves
in the, the Lord deserves complete obedience.
So if you love the Lord, then you keep His commandments.
Now go to John 14, 24.
He that love is me not keep it's not my saying and the word which he hear is not mine, but
the fathers which sent me.
So if you're not keeping all of God's commandments, don't say that you have the Lord.
You want to know why?
Because you don't love the Lord the Lord said if you love me, you keep His commandments
and the whole duty of man, everything that you're supposed to do is to love God and keep His
peer regarding, keep His commandments.
That's the whole duty of man.
Okay.
Let's continue on with the message.
Even though God wants us, a lot of people are not happy to let Him have them.
Even though God has the legal right, which is the reason to possess us, literally possess
that we're one of His possessions, we may not have the heart to let Him do it.
Therefore when God desires us to consecrate ourselves to Him, we must know that He's moving
on our hearts.
And the reason that the Lord wants us to consecrate ourselves to Him is for our own
good, because if you don't, you're going to the lake of fire.
You say, well, what kind of a God is that?
No, He's doing that because Satan has a hold on you and you're on your way to hell.
He's just reaching His hand out and telling you to let Him possess you rather than the
devil.
But if you prefer to have Satan possess you, in other words, you want to be demon possessed
by the demons, the bad Satan, well, then God has nothing to do with you and you send yourself
to hell in the lake of fire.
The Bible says that the lake of fire exists and that if you don't believe Jesus, which
is the word of God, then you're going to help with that in the lake of fire.
So every word of the Bible is very much anointed and has a very, very profound meaning
and it has to be observed, or there's no possible way for you to receive mercy on the day of
judgment.
Okay, then what?
God gives us the motive of loving Him that we might be willing to consecrate ourselves
to Him.
Right.
He showers the blessing through the Holy Spirit and He says that if we keep His commandments
that anything that we ask shall be given unto us, to keep you going, to motivate you to
continue going.
Now, you know, the Lord sometimes, He puts us through fire as well.
Sometimes He doesn't give you everything but it's for your own good.
You must go through the fire.
You must have a broken spirit in the contrite heart.
Otherwise, there's no way you can get into the kingdom of Him because God can't move
into you because you're not broken.
Your whole, you are like a hard shell around you and but the Lord wants to have you broken.
Your spirit broken and having a contrite heart so His spirit can enter into your heart, into
your spirit and save your soul and give you the power to be able to keep the commandments
and the Lord.
Now unless the Spirit of God enters into us and enters our heart and our spirit, it's
called circumcision of the Spirit no longer are we to be circumcised in the flesh because
that doesn't do any good.
And that doesn't bring the power of God into our morphal bodies by being circumcised in
the flesh.
But the power of God enters into our bodies, the initial power when we are saved from
the Spirit enters our spirit.
Then the Lord told the children to not be his disciples, his children, to not depart
from Jerusalem until they be filled with the Holy Spirit.
He said, Terry there in Jerusalem in the upper room until the time that the Holy Spirit comes
upon them because He wanted them in the ministry and it's impossible to be in the
ministry in a powerful, without the power of God.
There's a lot of people you can just see that they don't have God's power you can hear
them and not feel the presence of the Lord or you can not feel the presence of the Lord
dealing with you while they're speaking because the Lord isn't speaking through them.
And they're preaching by the letter rather than by the Spirit and the Bible says that
even the Bible is preached by the letter.
In other words, without you being anointed with the Holy Spirit, that it will kill you.
It'll bore you to death when you're sitting in congregations for the preachers not anointed.
You just want to get away from the church.
You just want to get away from that preacher.
You just keep looking at your watch and can't wait till you get out of there.
But my church is they hold service to seven days a week.
We have eight services a week.
We have seven plus two on Sunday.
So that's eight.
And then we have around the clock prayer meetings.
We have everyone has a prayer hour.
And we hold a vigil before the Lord with prayers.
And we expose Satan on earth so that the power of this exposing of him binds him on earth
so that God Almighty will bind him in heaven.
All right.
Let's continue on.
Now we have the reason for consecrating ourselves.
The reason for consecrating ourselves is because he purchased us.
But the reason for it also is for us to go to heaven.
Okay, because we're no possible way that we can get into the kingdom of heaven without
being totally surrendered to the Lord.
It's very unlikely that you'd want to spend eternity with the Lord if you don't want to
spend all your time with him here on earth.
So the Lord knows that.
And he says, if you spend time with me here, in other words, if you consecrate yourself,
put your entire being into my hands.
What that is, is a transfer from you being in the hands of Satan.
And now Satan having to fork you over to the Lord and put you in God's hands.
And when you're in his hands, you're in his hands because he paid the price for your salvation.
And he paid the price for your crucifixion.
And he gives you the power to be crucified and then follow him.
Because in this world, there are many temptations.
And in this world, there's so many people that are sitting in churches that whenever temptation
confronts them, they don't have any power of God in them to come against the temptations
or to smite it down with the blood of Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit.
They don't have the power to turn away from sin.
And so we're consecrated to the Lord because that means that we died out to ourselves and
we don't have any interest any longer in ourselves other than getting into the kingdom of heaven
and doing something for God and letting God do something in us to win other souls to the
Lord so that they can too can enter into the kingdom of heaven.
And we cannot do any of these works unless we've been totally slain.
The Spirit, our Spirit is totally broken.
We have surrendered our entire self over to God because like when you give a gift to
somebody, you surrender it over to them and you have no power to tell the person what
to do with that gift.
And it's the same thing when we give our Spirit over to the Lord, our entire being,
our body so that he can live in it.
We have no right to take it back.
We have no right to do what we want to do with the present or the sacrifice of ourselves,
living sacrifices of ourselves unto the Lord.
We have no right to try to resurrect again into the world because we have been, we've
given ourselves to the Lord and so therefore that means that we operate on the altar and
we turn into a heap of ashes for no longer ourselves or no longer the kind of person
that likes to do the things in the world.
And then we, this is consecration, that's what that is and then we are vessels that
are like putty in the hands of the Lord and he can work his, represent himself in the
world that way.
But when I see a person that is in the congregation or anywhere and I see them doing the exact
opposite of what the Lord says that commands us to do, I know that that person is not
consecrated.
And I have no respect for them whatsoever because they are phonies, they are hypocrites,
they say they are Christians and they have never surrendered themselves unto the Lord.
If they had, the Lord would be working in them and doing his will in work in them and
they would not be doing things that are totally contrary to the word of God.
Okay?
Because when you are consecrated that God, you are in God's hands and God isn't going
to let you commit adultery or a foreign occasion or desire to have many men if you
are a woman or to have many sexual encounters with some man's wife.
He did not do that in and through you and he will not lie.
If you are, if somebody is lying to me, I know they are not consecrated.
They are hypocrites if they are say they are Christians and I am going to heaven.
If you tell them no you are not unless you get consecrated.
Do you mean I am not going to heaven?
I mean yes, you are not going to heaven.
You are going to, like a fire, if you don't become consecrated.
You must be in the hands of the Lord.
Okay?
Go ahead and continue.
Now we have the reason for consecrating ourselves but now we need the motive.
There is many reasons for doing that because when we do that we know our body is going
to be used by the Lord to win many souls.
That is one reason.
Number two, the number one reason because he purchased this.
He has the right to use this that way.
All right?
And when we see liars I know I don't have any respect for a liar.
To me I have no more respect for them than I do a curdog.
Okay?
But does that mean you don't, well no I am still witness to them but I don't have any
respect for them until they give themselves over to the Lord.
And the Lord has no respect for you.
You know he calls you chaff, trash, trash to be burned because you go dog pig.
The Lord is the name color.
When somebody gets saved they go into the church and they first go into the church to
find themselves a man or maybe a woman.
Or they go to the church maybe to get some business acquaintances.
And then they say the sinner's trail and they get saved.
And then they go out into the world and somebody, some female comes up to the guy that just
got saved and says, hey how are you?
Come on.
You want to go and have some drinks and party tonight.
And the person just can't fight that because he doesn't have the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
He's not interested in giving his life over to the Lord.
And he's a weakling and every opportunity if a woman is married and her husband isn't
looking and she has to go to the doctor's office or she has to go downtown shopping or
something, she's smiling at other men and this woman is not consecrated.
Or she's looking for romance in all the wrong places.
Amen.
Amen.
Johnny Lee is a friend of mine.
He did commercials for me for my store in Nashville.
He's had that hit looking for love in all the wrong places.
And love is the keeping of God's commandments.
And the first one is to consecrate yourself, to pick up the cross.
Deny yourself.
Denying yourself means you're consecrated yourself.
You get on the altar and die.
You give yourself as a living sacrifice unto the Lord.
Okay, then what?
The motive for our consecration to the Lord is the love of God.
Yeah.
So we have the reason for it, the many reasons and then there are many motives too because
after the Lord has entered into you and you're consecrated, the motive is that you want to
see a lot of souls save.
That's my motive.
Okay.
And I know that the Lord is working in me.
So I know he's a loving God, but he's also a severe God.
He means what he says.
Okay.
He means what he says.
You forget the scriptures.
You don't concentrate on them and meditate on them and keep repeating them and filling
your mind with the Lord rather than something evil in this world.
You've never been converted.
You're the same.
And some people become worse after they've said they are Christians and they are more
than they are today.
So Romans 12, 1 and 2.
We have to give ourselves as a living sacrifice unto the Lord.
Amen.
I be seated.
I beseech you therefore brethren by the mercies of God that you present your body say living
sacrifice.
Yes.
You're still alive but your sacrifice, your will and the purpose and the reason of doing
things before you put them into the reasoning of the Lord.
The reason is because or the basis or the reason for your consecrating yourself is that
he died for you and resurrected for you and kept the commandments for you.
And that shows us that the commandments can be kept in the human body because he was a
human with the very same spirit living in him that he'll send into you when you say
the sinners parents so that there's no excuse for you to still remain alive.
Or a thief or a person that just runs over people and think if you don't get your way
that you're going to just clip out or do something and walk around arrogantly because
you don't get what you want or that maybe your anniversary is more of a special day than
the death of Christ.
You insult yourself above Christ.
Better than the birth of Christ and the death of Christ and the crucifixion of Christ.
Now you want your anniversary or your birthday honored more than that.
If you don't get exactly what you want you're the most miserable wretched thing on the face
of this earth.
Okay.
Finish it all.
Present your body say living sacrifice holy acceptable unto God which is your reasonable
service.
Yes.
It's your reasonable service.
And be not conformed to this world.
Oh yes.
In other words stop doing what this world does what you did before because the world runs
over each other and they say me I want to be first I want to that I don't care about other
people if I make them wait on me.
I don't care about you.
I still have the attitude of the world but you are to let the that isn't the Lord's
attitude and when I see somebody that has that kind of attitude I know they're not concentrated
consecrated to the Lord.
I know the Lord is not living in them.
They're not allowing the Lord to live out his life in them.
They're phonies, hypocrites then what?
And be not conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
They may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
Well what's the renewing of the mind that means I told you I'm going to tell you again
you just meditate and keep memorizing the scriptures.
Let them instead of foul evil thoughts that come into you when they do that you immediately
start rehearsing scriptures that cause you to continue to be concentrated.
We're in a war the devil is always warring against your mind and he wants your mind and
the Lord wants your mind.
He wants it because he wants you to be safe.
He doesn't want you to go to hell.
Therefore he tells you by the renewing of your mind by consecration by just reading the
scriptures the same one until you've got it memorized and you've got it down.
The ones that stick in your brain like the hair in a drain.
Okay now continue on.
Whenever the Holy Spirit sheds abroad the love of God in our hearts we will naturally be
willing to become the prisoners of love and consecrate ourselves to God.
Right the main motive for me is I fear the Lord I know that if I don't do that I'll go
to hell.
That's the reason another reason why I serve the Lord.
It's mainly the fear.
It's not even can come up with all other reasons but it's the fear of the Lord.
God told Moses.
Most of the incidentally had a very close association with the Lord and he had a very
close association with him.
He told Moses that if they don't fear me they will not serve me.
And if you don't fear God you will not serve him.
As a matter of fact you are not serving him.
Not with your whole heart, soul, mind and strength.
Okay?
And Moses did serve the Lord.
He feared him so much that his skin quaked upon him.
And choked the Lord and all the patriarchs that really made it feared the Lord.
Okay go ahead.
This sort of consecration motivated by the love of God and by the fear of the Lord is mentioned
many times and very clearly in two places in the scriptures.
Right but the fear is the main thing and the love of God.
The fear you fear God so much that you keep his commandments and you know that he loved
you so much that he laid down his life for you and died on the cross.
Went to hell for you.
Then resurrected up and became the Holy Spirit as he was ascended after he ascended into heaven.
And now he has become the comforter and he comes into our mortal bodies giving us the
power with the Father by the Spirit to remain consecrated.
That is if we continue renewing our mind on a daily basis by letting the word penetrate
our minds.
Because from the mind it goes down into the soul.
We have to understand what the scriptures mean with our mind first and then receive them
into our heart.
Okay then what?
One of them is 2 Corinthians chapter 5 verses 14 through 15.
Okay I'll read it.
For the love of God for the love of Christ constraineth us.
The meaning of it is quote the rushing of waters.
He died for all that they that live should no longer live unto themselves but unto him.
I see when you see a person living unto themselves they don't care about anybody and like you
see a family.
Anybody in the house or they don't care about anybody in the church.
There's a person in the church that they tie up the bathroom and everybody else in the
whole church is waiting and they're just in there maybe for 15 minutes a half hours sometimes
that you're in power.
And that's the same kind of person that believes that their birthday or their anniversary is
far more important than consecrating themselves unto the Lord.
They're self will, they're selfish and they're disgusting.
Alright okay then what?
He died for all that they that live should no longer live unto themselves.
Unto themselves but unto the Lord can keep going.
But unto him who for their sakes died and rose again.
This is for our sakes not his.
Yes because the Lord has got it made.
He's sitting in heaven.
The reason that he's dealing with us with his dealings is to try to get the stupid people.
The ungodly the unspiritual people that their souls, their rotten souls will die and
that their spirit will continue on with the Lord's spirit in it so their souls can be
saved.
It's for their own good.
They think they're being abused if they told they can't have what they want at the very
moment that they want.
Well anyway my time is up.
And I pray you've got some real good Bible teaching here today and tomorrow you're going
to want to tune into part 83 of how the half God's life living in you.
And the reason for God's life living in you is to have the power to sustain yourself in
the tribulations that are on the earth right now.
The Bible states that there's just swarms of pestilences in the world today.
It's like an epidemic and it's getting worse and worse.
No one knows from one day to the other whether you're going to catch one of these diseases
and no one knows if these different plagues are going to hit you.
That's what I said.
He says that one fourth, one third of the whole world population is going to be destroyed
at one time.
That means if there's six billion people, two billion are going to die at one time.
So you ain't seen nothing yet and the people that are telling you that you're going to
be raptured before the tribulations, their liars, their false prophets.
Jesus said immediately after the tribulations that he's going to come back.
So the people that are saying that are telling you you don't have to gear up to be saved.
Just you know stay, it's the day I will tell you that.
And I'll bring more messages on that later.
Right now let's get your soul right with the Lord.
Let's say this prayer, not say it to the Lord so that your soul can be saved.
I'll repeat after me, but say it to the Lord.
My Lord, am I gone?
Have mercy upon my soul, let's enter.
I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God.
I believe that he died on the cross and shed his precious blood for the forgiveness of
all my sins.
I believe that God raised Jesus from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit.
I open up the door of my heart and I invite you into my heart, Lord Jesus.
Wash all my filthy sins away in the precious blood that he shed for me.
You will not turn me away, Lord Jesus.
You will save my soul.
I know because your word says so.
Your word says you'll turn no one away and that includes me.
Therefore I know you've heard me and I know you've answered me and I know I'm saved.
I just raise your hands and pray so Lord and thank you for saving your soul and thank
God for giving you enough sense to say that prayer.
Now you know time is evaporating very fast.
When I was closing my eyes and praying I saw the 18, 17, 16, 15, I could see it like that.
Every second that you're living you're getting closer and closer to the time when you're going
to gasp your last breath.
When you're heart you're only one heartbeat and only one breath from heaven.
So get you know just stay safe now because only those that continue to the end,
serving, letting the Lord serve himself through you, shall be saved.
