JESUS IS COMING SOON, AND WE KNOW THIS BECAUSE ALL THE END-TIME SIGNS THAT JESUS, THE APOSTLE PAUL, AND OTHER PROPHETS WROTE IN THE WORD OF GOD, THEY'RE BEING FULFILLED ALL AROUND US NOW. AND THERE'S ONE FLIGHT OUT, AND THE LORD IS COMING FOR A PEOPLE, BUT NOT JUST ANY PEOPLE; THE LORD IS COMING FOR A PEOPLE THAT IN HIS EYES ARE WORTHY TO BE TAKEN OUT OF THIS WORLD. I TAKE YOU TO LUKE'S GOSPEL, CHAPTER 21, VERSE 36, THE WORDS OF JESUS, "WATCH YE THEREFORE, AND PRAY ALWAYS, "THAT YE MAY BE ACCOUNTED WORTHY "TO ESCAPE ALL THESE THINGS THAT SHALL COME TO PASS, AND TO STAND BEFORE THE SON OF MAN." WORTHY MEANS YOU ARE ELIGIBLE. HE SAID HE'S COMING FOR THOSE THAT ARE WATCHING, AND IF YOU'RE WORTHY, YOU ARE LOOKING AND PREPARING FOR HIM TO COME. NOW WHEN PEOPLE EXPECT COMPANY, SAY FOR THE HOLIDAYS, THEY PREPARE THEIR HOME AND THEMSELVES. EVERYTHING IS MADE READY AS THEY ANXIOUSLY AWAIT THE ARRIVAL OF THEIR GUESTS. YET PEOPLE TODAY, INCLUDING CHRISTIANS, ARE NOT PREPARING FOR JESUS TO COME IN THIS MANNER. IN GREAT DETAIL JESUS LAID OUT ALL OF THE END-TIME SIGNS IN MATTHEW'S GOSPEL, CHAPTER 24, SO THAT PEOPLE READING THEM COULD MAKE PREPARATIONS, KNOWING THAT HE'S SOON COMING. HE SAID, "WHEN YOU SEE THESE THINGS COME TO PASS, KNOW THAT I AM AT THE DOOR," AND THAT'S CLOSE. AND TODAY JESUS IS AT THE DOOR. TO BE ALERT AND READY ALL THE TIME, ALL THE TIME, IT TAKES FIRST LOVE IN OPERATION; AND THAT'S WHY MANY ARE NOT READY AND WATCHING. TO BE WORTHY AS JESUS COUNTS WORTHY IS TO BE WITHOUT SPOT, WRINKLE, BLEMISH OR ANY SUCH THING. EPHESIANS, CHAPTER 5, VERSE 27 TELLS US THIS, SPEAKING OF JESUS, "THAT HE MIGHT PRESENT IT TO HIMSELF A GLORIOUS CHURCH, "NOT HAVING SPOT, OR WRINKLE, "OR ANY SUCH THING; BUT THAT IT SHOULD BE HOLY AND WITHOUT BLEMISH." IN THIS LATE HOUR, MANY CHRISTIANS, THEY'RE STILL STRUGGLING WITH THE SPOTS AND THE WRINKLES IN THEIR SPIRITUAL GARMENTS, AND THEY'VE NEVER EVEN BEGUN TO ADDRESS THE BLEMISHES. NOW UNDER THE LAW, WHEN A LAMB WAS OFFERED AS A SACRIFICE, IT HAD TO BE WITHOUT BLEMISH OR IT WAS REJECTED. TODAY AS CHILDREN OF GOD ACCORDING TO ROMANS, CHAPTER 12, WE ARE TO PRESENT OURSELVES AS A LIVING SACRIFICE UNTO THE LORD; AND THE WORD OF GOD DECLARES THAT IT IS OUR REASONABLE SERVICE TO DO SO. HOWEVER, WE WILL NOT BE AN ACCEPTABLE LIVING SACRIFICE IN THE EYES OF GOD UNLESS WE, TOO, ARE WITHOUT BLEMISH. BUT MANY PREACHERS AND CHURCHGOERS TODAY, THEY WILL DECLARE, A PERSON CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT BLEMISH; IN FACT, THEY CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT THE SPOTS AND THE WRINKLES. BUT YOU CAN ACCORDING TO THE WORD OF GOD. AND THE BIBLE SAYS, "LET GOD BE TRUE, AND EVERY MAN A LIAR." ONLY BY LIVING IN DIVINITY CAN A PERSON BE FREE AND STAY FREE OF ALL SPOTS, WRINKLES AND BLEMISHES. THE HUMAN SPIRIT IS NOT ENOUGH TO KEEP YOU. OH, IT MAY KEEP YOU FROM DOING SOMETHING DRASTIC SUCH AS COMMITTING *** OR ARMED ROBBERY, BUT YOU WON'T HAVE TO DO SOMETHING DRASTIC TO MISS THE ONE FLIGHT OUT. NO. THE SONG OF SOLOMON TELLS US IT'S THE LITTLE FOXES THAT SPOIL THE VINE. IN OTHER WORDS, CHILDREN OF GOD SHOULD BE CAREFUL WITH THE LITTLE THINGS IN THEIR LIFE. JESUS SAID IN THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT THAT WE ARE TO BE PERFECT AS OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN IS PERFECT. THE APOSTLE PAUL WENT ON AND HE WROTE THAT WITHOUT HOLINESS NO MAN SHALL SEE THE FACE OF GOD. AND LATER IN THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT, JESUS ALSO WENT ON TO TELL US WHAT WOULD BE EXPECTED OF US AS CHILDREN OF GOD IN DESCRIBING THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW WAY THAT LEADS TO HEAVEN. NOW THAT STRAIGHT GATE IS NOT IN HEAVEN; IT'S HERE ON EARTH, AND IT'S IN THE FORM OF AN OLD RUGGED CROSS. ONCE A PERSON PASSES THROUGH THAT GATE, THEY WALK A NARROW WAY. ISAIAH IN THE OLD TESTAMENT SAW THE NARROW WAY; HE CALLED IT THE HIGHWAY OF HOLINESS, AND HE DECLARED THAT NO UNCLEAN THING WOULD PASS OVER THAT HIGHWAY. JESUS SPEAKING OF THE NARROW WAY SAID VERY FEW WOULD BE WILLING TO WALK IT. VERY FEW ARE WILLING TO PAY THAT PRICE. I PETER, CHAPTER 4, VERSE 18, "AND IF THE RIGHTEOUS SCARCELY BE SAVED, WHERE SHALL THE UNGODLY AND THE SINNER APPEAR?" NOW PEOPLE WILL BOAST HOW THEY'RE READY TO MEET GOD, BUT THE REAL QUESTION: IS GOD READY TO MEET THEM? YOU KNOW, JESUS IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION DICTATED TO JOHN THE REVELATOR SEVEN LETTERS TO SEVEN CHURCHES. IN ONE OF THOSE LETTERS, HE ADDRESSED THE CHURCH AND HE SAID, "I WOULD RATHER YOU BE COLD OR HOT "BECAUSE IF YOU'RE LUKEWARM, I WILL SPUE YOU OUT OF MY MOUTH." AND SINNERS ARE NOT IN THE MOUTH OF GOD, ONLY CHRISTIANS. AND THINK ABOUT HOW TERRIBLE, HOW AWFUL THE SCENE WILL BE FOR CHRISTIANS WHO THINK THEY ARE READY, WHO THINK THEY ARE WORTHY FOR ESCAPE, ONLY TO BE SPEWED OUT OF GOD'S MOUTH AT THE RAPTURE, AND THEY'RE LEFT IN THE TRIBULATION PERIOD. YOU SHOULD STUDY THE SEVEN LETTERS TO THE SEVEN CHURCHES IN REVELATION. JESUS ADDRESSED EACH CHURCH WHETHER OR NOT THEY WERE WORTHY, AND THEN HE WENT ON TO TELL THEM WHY THEY WERE WORTHY OR NOT WORTHY. WHAT JESUS GAVE TO JOHN WAS SOMETHING INDEED, AND IT SHOULD WAKE PEOPLE UP TO REALIZE THAT THEY MUST DO ALL WITHIN THEIR POWER DAY AND NIGHT TO PREPARE THEMSELVES AND BE READY FOR THE ONE FLIGHT OUT. THE APOSTLE PAUL WROTE, "IN THE LAST DAYS, "SEDUCERS WOULD WAX WORSE AND WORSE, DECEIVING, AND BEING DECEIVED." DECEIT IS SUCH A TERRIBLE THING, BUT YET SO MANY PEOPLE IN SOCIETY TODAY ARE CONTAMINATED BY IT. THE BOOK OF JAMES DOES A GREAT JOB TO UNCOVER DECEIT. IN ONE VERSE, JAMES SAYS BE NOT A HEARER OF THE WORD ONLY; BE A DOER OF THE WORD. OBEDIENCE TO THE WORD OF GOD. TO BE COUNTED WORTHY, IT IS NOT SUFFICIENT TO HEAR THE WORD, TO SING ABOUT THE WORD, TO SHOUT AMEN! TO THE WORD, TO GIVE MENTAL ASSENT TO THE WORD. TO BE COUNTED WORTHY IN THE EYES OF GOD, WE MUST BE OBEDIENT TO THE WORD, BE A DOER OF THE WORD DAILY. HEBREWS, CHAPTER 11, VERSE 5, IT READS, "BY FAITH ENOCH WAS TRANSLATED "THAT HE SHOULD NOT SEE DEATH; "AND WAS NOT FOUND, "BECAUSE GOD HAD TRANSLATED HIM: "FOR BEFORE HIS TRANSLATION "HE HAD THIS TESTIMONY, THAT HE PLEASED GOD." ENOCH IS A TYPE OF THE BRIDE OF CHRIST IN THIS FINAL HOUR. HE PLEASED GOD AND GOD TOOK HIM. PLEASING GOD WAS ENOCH'S GOAL; IT WAS HIS LIFESTYLE. THE BIBLE DOESN'T SAY THAT THE LORD TOOK ENOCH'S FAMILY OR ENOCH'S FRIENDS. GOD TRANSLATED ENOCH BECAUSE ENOCH PLEASED GOD. IN THIS RAPTURE GENERATION, TO BE COUNTED WORTHY TO BE RAPTURED LIKE ENOCH, YOU WILL HAVE TO PLEASE GOD, NOT FAMILY, NOT FRIENDS, NOT SELF, GOD. BUT IN SPITE OF WHAT OTHERS DO, IN SPITE OF THE SINFUL, CORRUPT SOCIETY WE LIVE IN, YOUR GOAL, YOUR LIFESTYLE MUST BE CENTERED ON PLEASING GOD DAILY, PLEASING GOD. BUT TO LIVE A LIFE LIKE THIS, IT TAKES DIVINE DETERMINATION. JESUS SAID THEY THAT ENDURE TO THE END WOULD BE SAVED. AND THE WORD OF GOD, NO WORD YOU SHOULD COUNT LIGHTLY. EVERY WORD MEANS SOMETHING IN HIS WORD, IN THE HOLY BIBLE. "THEY THAT ENDURE TO THE END SHALL BE SAVED." IN OTHER WORDS, THEY THAT ARE DETERMINED TO STAY SAVED CAN STAY SAVED UNTO THE END. THEY THAT ARE DETERMINED TO PLEASE GOD AND DO HIS WILL CAN DO SO UNTO THE END IF THEY'RE DETERMINED TO DO IT. THE BIBLE ALSO STATES TO, "HOLD FAST TO THAT WHICH IS GOOD," MEANING BE DETERMINED TO HOLD FAST TO THAT WHICH IS GOOD. NEVER LET DEVIL, PEOPLE OR SELF TURN YOU AWAY OR CAUSE YOU TO LET GO. BE DETERMINED TO LET THE HOLY SPIRIT HAVE HIS WAY IN YOUR LIFE EACH DAY; BE DETERMINED TO DO THE WHOLE DIVINE WILL OF GOD IN YOUR LIFE AND NEVER THE PERMISSIBLE WILL. THE DISCIPLES, THEY LACKED DIVINE DETERMINATION BEFORE PENTECOST AND IT SHOWED UP ON THEM AGAIN AND AGAIN. IT TOOK CRUCIFIXION, THE RESURRECTION, AND PENTECOST BEFORE THEY TOOK ON THAT DIVINE DETERMINATION. WHEN A PERSON LACKS DIVINE DETERMINATION, THEY'RE LIKE A SPIRITUAL ROLLERCOASTER, JUST UP AND DOWN, UP AND DOWN, ALL OVER THE PLACE. WHEN YOU LACK DIVINE DETERMINATION, YOU FORGET QUICKLY THAT YOU WERE BOUGHT WITH A PRICE AND THAT YOU'RE NOT YOUR OWN. THE CHURCH STARTED WITH DIVINE DETERMINATION, AND THERE WERE EXAMPLES OF IT THROUGHOUT THE BOOK OF ACTS. LOOK AT PETER, A PERFECT EXAMPLE: BEFORE PENTECOST HE WAS LIKE THAT SPIRITUAL ROLLERCOASTER, JUST UP AND DOWN AND IN AND OUT. BUT ON THE DAY OF PENTECOST, BEING FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST, HE TOOK HIS STAND. HE WAS COUNTED WORTHY, AND FROM THAT DAY FORWARD UNTO HIS DEATH, HE STOOD AND WOULD NOT COMPROMISE. LOOK AT STEPHEN. WITH DIVINE DETERMINATION HE PREACHED ONE OF THE GREATEST SERMONS EVER PREACHED AND IT COST HIM HIS LIFE; BUT NO MATTER, HE WAS DETERMINED TO PREACH IT FOR THE GLORY OF GOD. THEN THERE'S THE EARLY CHURCH: AS A WHOLE THEY PRAYED FOR BOLDNESS AND THEY GOT IT; AND THAT HOLY BOLDNESS COUPLED WITH DIVINE DETERMINATION, THEY WERE ABLE TO SUFFER PERSECUTIONS, TO ENDURE PERSECUTIONS, AND NOT ONLY ENDURE THEM, BUT THEY REJOICED IN PERSECUTIONS. THEY REJOICED THAT THEY WERE COUNTED WORTHY TO SUFFER SHAME FOR HIS NAME'S SAKE. SO MANY FANTASTIC, EXCITING THINGS TOOK PLACE IN THE BOOK OF ACTS THROUGH DIVINE DETERMINATION. AND TODAY THIS JESUS MINISTRY IS TAKING UP WHERE THE BOOK OF ACTS LEFT OFF. WE TRAVEL TO THE MISSION FIELDS-- AND THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE NEVER GONE TO THE MISSION FIELDS WITH REV. ERNEST ANGLEY, YOU MAY NOT UNDERSTAND THE PRICE THAT'S PAID. IT'S NOT EASY WORKING DAY AND NIGHT, DAY AFTER DAY, WEEK AFTER WEEK. IT'S NOT EASY WHEN YOU HAVE TO FIGHT JET LAG, AND MANY TIMES INTENSE HEAT. THERE ARE TIMES THAT YOU GO WITHOUT GOOD FOOD OR PROPER REST. BUT WE'RE DETERMINED WITH DIVINE DETERMINATION TO WIN EVERY SOUL GOD HAS MARKED FOR US TO WIN. DIVINE DETERMINATION: YOU WILL NEED IT TO BE COUNTED WORTHY BY THE LORD TO MAKE THE ONE FLIGHT OUT. HEBREWS, CHAPTER 11, VERSE 6, IT READS, "FOR HE THAT COMETH TO GOD MUST BELIEVE THAT HE IS, "AND THAT HE IS A REWARDER OF THEM THAT DILIGENTLY SEEK HIM." NOW TAKE NOTE OF THAT LAST PART OF THE VERSE: "AND THAT HE IS A REWARDER OF THEM THAT DILIGENTLY SEEK HIM." TAKE NOTICE OF WHO GOD REWARDS: THOSE THAT DILIGENTLY SEEK HIM. AFTER READING THIS VERSE, I WENT TO WEBSTER'S DICTIONARY AND I LOOKED UP THE WORD DILIGENT, AND WEBSTER HAS TO SAY THIS ABOUT DILIGENT: CHARACTERIZED BY STEADY, EARNEST, AND ENERGETIC APPLICATION AND EFFORT. SO WITH THIS DEFINITION IN MIND, AGAIN DILIGENT: CHARACTERIZED BY STEADY, EARNEST, AND ENERGETIC APPLICATION AND EFFORT. HOW WOULD YOU CHARACTERIZE YOUR EFFORT IN PURSUING ALL THAT GOD HAS MADE AVAILABLE TO THE BODY OF CHRIST? HOW WOULD YOU CHARACTERIZE YOUR APPLICATION OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD TO YOUR LIFE? IS IT STEADY, EARNEST AND ENERGETIC? WE HAVE BEEN TAUGHT MUCH ABOUT THE THINGS OF GOD IN THIS JESUS MINISTRY. FOR INSTANCE THREE STEPS THAT WILL TAKE US INTO GREATER DEPTHS AND MORE OF THE POWER OF GOD: PRAYER, FASTING, LIVING IN THE WORD, THREE SIMPLE STEPS. HOW DILIGENT ARE YOU WITH THESE THREE STEPS? WE HAVE BEEN TAUGHT HOW TO USE THE BLOOD, THE BLOOD OF JESUS, AND NOT WASTE IT. JESUS PAID A GREAT PRICE AT CALVARY, SPILLED DIVINE BLOOD SO THAT THE CHILDREN OF GOD WOULD HAVE POWER: POWER OVER SICKNESSES AND DISEASES, POWER OVER ALL TEMPTATIONS, POWER OVER ALL SIN, POWER OVER THE ENEMY, POWER TO TRAMPLE DEVILS UNDERFOOT. AND REV. ANGLEY HAS PUT OUT A BOOK FILLED WITH SCRIPTURES FROM THE WORD OF GOD ON HOW TO USE THE BLOOD AND NOT WASTE IT AS A CHILD OF GOD. AND THAT LAST CHAPTER OF THE BOOK, THE LORD DICTATED HIMSELF THAT CHAPTER TO REV. ANGLEY ON SPRAYING THE DIVINE BLOOD, THAT WE CAN USE THE BLOOD; WE CAN SPRAY IT AS ONE WOULD USE ANY KIND OF SPRAY AND GET RESULTS. AND WITH SUCH KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM AT OUR FINGERTIPS, I ASK YOU, HOW DILIGENT ARE YOU IN YOUR EFFORT TO LEARN THE BLOOD SO THAT YOU AS A MEMBER OF THE BRIDAL COMPANY WILL NOT WASTE IT? ARE YOU STEADY, ENERGETIC AND EARNEST IN STUDYING THE BLOOD? AND THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE SEEKING FOR THE HOLY GHOST BAPTISM: ARE YOU DILIGENT IN YOUR SEEKING? THAT MEANS ARE YOU STEADY, ENERGETIC, AND EARNEST IN YOUR SEEKING? OR IS IT JUST ONCE IN A WHILE YOU COME DOWN TO SEEK? OR MAYBE WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE IT YOU SEEK? OR MAYBE WHEN YOU GET UNDER SOME CONVICTION YOU SEEK? THAT WON'T DO. REMEMBER WHAT GOD'S WORD SAYS: GOD PROMISED TO REWARD THOSE THAT DILIGENTLY SEEK HIM. AND IF YOU DILIGENTLY SEEK FOR THE PRECIOUS HOLY GHOST BAPTISM, THEN GOD WILL REWARD YOU WITH THE PRECIOUS HOLY GHOST BAPTISM. TO BE DILIGENT WITH THE THINGS OF GOD MEANS YOUR EFFORT AND YOUR APPLICATION MUST BE WITH THE WHOLE HEART AND NOTHING LESS. A PERSON WON'T BE DILIGENT UNLESS THE WHOLE HEART IS INVOLVED. I TAKE YOU BACK INTO MY LIFE WHEN I RECEIVED THE HOLY GHOST BAPTISM IN MARCH OF 1995, THE VERY SAME NIGHT THAT I GOT SAVED, A SUNDAY NIGHT SERVICE LIKE WE'RE IN TONIGHT. THE LORD BROUGHT ME OUT OF YEARS OF SIN AND GREAT DECEIT. AND I KNEW THE TRUTH. I RECEIVED SALVATION AT THE ALTAR. I RECEIVED DELIVERANCE, AND I KNEW THAT I HAD TO HAVE THE HOLY GHOST. FROM WHAT THE LORD BROUGHT ME OUT OF, I KNEW THAT IF I DID NOT HAVE THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH LIVING WITHIN ME, I WOULD NOT MAKE IT TO THE NEXT FRIDAY NIGHT SERVICE SAVED. SO AT THIS ALTAR WITH DILIGENCE, WITH DETERMINATION, I SOUGHT FOR THE HOLY GHOST. I HAD NO ONE AROUND ME TO HELP AND IT DIDN'T EVEN MATTER. THIS WAS ME AND GOD, AND I KNEW WHAT I COULD HAVE ACCORDING TO GOD'S WORD, AND I SOUGHT WITH MY WHOLE HEART. AND YOU KNOW WHAT, IT DIDN'T TAKE ME VERY LONG TO GO THROUGH. WHEN A PERSON SEEKS THE HOLY GHOST WITH THEIR WHOLE HEART, WHEN A PERSON SEEKS WITH DETERMINATION AND DILIGENCE, GOD WILL REWARD YOU, AND I'M AN EXAMPLE OF THAT. AND IT DOESN'T HAVE TO TAKE HOURS AND HOURS, DAYS OR WEEKS. IT ALL DEPENDS ON THE PERSON AND WHETHER OR NOT THEY'RE DETERMINED AND DILIGENT. I WAS DETERMINED TO STAY 'TIL SUNRISE THAT NIGHT IF NEED BE, BUT I WASN'T GOING HOME WITHOUT THE HOLY GHOST. HOW DILIGENT AND DETERMINED ARE YOU IN SEEKING FOR THE HOLY GHOST? AND WHAT ABOUT THE MIND OF CHRIST? THE BIBLE DECLARES WE CAN HAVE IT. PETER GAVE THE REVELATION IN HIS WRITINGS HOW TO TAKE IT ON: ADD, ADD THE INGREDIENTS. WE MUST STRIVE AND DILIGENTLY ADD THE INGREDIENTS THAT MADE UP THE MIND OF CHRIST WHEN HE WALKED THIS EARTH. GOD GAVE REV. ANGLEY ALL THE INGREDIENTS THAT MADE UP CHRIST'S MIND ON EARTH, AND IN HIS BOOK "THE MIND OF CHRIST" THEY'RE LISTED. AND THERE'S AN EXAMINATION IN THE BACK OF THAT BOOK TO GAUGE HOW MUCH OF THAT MIND YOU HAVE AND HOW MUCH OF THAT MIND YOU MAY LACK. AND SO I ASK YOU TONIGHT, ARE YOU DILIGENTLY WORKING TO TAKE ON EVERY LAST INGREDIENT UNTIL YOU HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST? OUR GOD REWARDS THE DILIGENT SEEKER, BUT SUCH DILIGENCE JUST DOESN'T HAPPEN. TO HAVE THIS KIND OF DILIGENCE I SPEAK OF REQUIRES DIVINE LOVE AND FAITH IN OPERATION. GOD REWARDS HIS DIVINE LOVE AND HIS DIVINE FAITH IN OPERATION. HEBREWS, CHAPTER 11, THE FAITH CHAPTER DECLARES MIGHTY THINGS WERE ACCOMPLISHED BY GOD'S FAITH, HIS FAITH WORKING THROUGH DIVINE LOVE THAT THE PERFECT WILL OF GOD COULD BE PERFORMED. IN FACT, DIVINE FAITH IS SO SPECIAL THAT THE BIBLE SAYS THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY IT, FOR WITHOUT IT YOU CANNOT PLEASE GOD. NOTICE THAT: YOU CANNOT PLEASE GOD WITHOUT USING DIVINE FAITH. THE LORD'S EARS ARE OPEN TO THE CRY OF THE RIGHTEOUS, MEANING THE EARS OF THOSE WHO HAVE DIVINE LOVE AND FAITH IN OPERATION. JESUS BROUGHT DIVINE LOVE AND FAITH TO EARTH. HE USED IT AND HE TAUGHT US HOW TO USE IT. HE TAUGHT US HOW TO USE DIVINE LOVE AND FAITH SO THAT WE COULD WALK IN HIS FOOTSTEPS IN THIS LIFE. HE TAUGHT US HOW TO DO HIS WORKS THAT CAN ONLY BE DONE HIS WAY. THIS MIRACLE POWER ONLY GOES FORTH BY PRAYER AND FASTING. YOU THAT WORK FOR THE LORD, WHETHER YOU'RE ON STAFF OR A VOLUNTEER, TO BE REWARDED BY GOD, ALL THAT YOU DO MUST BE DONE STRICTLY BY DIVINE LOVE AND BY DIVINE FAITH. BUT IF IT SEEMS THAT YOU'RE NOT BEING REWARDED IN YOUR WALK WITH THE LORD, IF IT SEEMS THAT YOU ARE CONSTANTLY STRUGGLING TO COME INTO ALL THE GREATNESS THAT THE LORD HAS MADE AVAILABLE TO THE BODY OF CHRIST, WELL, MAYBE IT'S TIME TO RE-EXAMINE YOUR EFFORT AND APPLICATION. AND JUST HOW DILIGENT ARE YOU IN PLEASING GOD, IN DOING HIS WHOLE WILL, AND BEING JUST LIKE JESUS? LIKE ENOCH, BE DETERMINED AND DILIGENT IN YOUR EFFORT TO PLEASE GOD SO YOU, TOO, WILL BE COUNTED WORTHY TO BE TRANSLATED. BUT THIS WILL NOT COME TO PASS UNLESS YOU HAVE THE HOLY GHOST BAPTISM. TO PLEASE THE FATHER AND DO HIS WILL ON EARTH, JESUS RECEIVED THE HOLY GHOST. THE EARLY CHURCH DID AS WELL. AND THE BIBLE SAYS THAT HE WOULD GIVE THE HOLY GHOST TO THE OBEDIENT. AND YOU MUST HAVE THIS POWER, HOLY GHOST POWER THAT WILL CHANGE YOU FROM WITHIN IN A MOMENT, IN A TWINKLING OF AN EYE WHEN THE RAPTURE TAKES PLACE. WE ARE THE RAPTURE GENERATION WITHOUT A DOUBT; BUT MANY PEOPLE, EVEN CHRISTIANS WILL NEVER BELIEVE THAT HE IS COMING IN OUR DAY. THEY HAVE NO REALITY OF HIS COMING, NO REALITY IN THE SCRIPTURES, AND THEY ARE DEFINITELY NOT PREPARING FOR HIS COMING; AND THEY DEFINITELY WILL NOT BE COUNTED WORTHY OF ESCAPE. IN NOAH'S DAY, THAT CIVILIZATION NEVER THOUGHT THE FLOOD WOULD COME, BUT AFTER 120 YEARS IT CAME. GOD IS LOVING AND HE IS LONG-SUFFERING, BUT EVEN GOD'S LOVE AND LONG-SUFFERING WILL COME TO AN END, AND I ASSURE YOU, IT WILL COME TO AN END IN OUR DAY. "GOD IS NOT SLACK CONCERNING HIS PROMISES, AS SOME MEN COUNT SLACKNESS." HE NEVER MAKES A PROMISE THAT HE DOES NOT KEEP. IT'S WAKE-UP TIME. THIS IS AN HOUR OF PREPARATION IF YOU INTEND TO BE COUNTED WORTHY OF THE LORD TO ESCAPE THE GREATEST PERIOD OF TRIBULATION THAT THIS WORLD WILL EVER EXPERIENCE. BUT MOST WILL NOT WAKE UP UNTIL IT'S TOO LATE. DON'T LET THE LUKEWARMNESS OF THIS AGE AFFECT YOU, OR THE LORD WILL SPEW YOU OUT OF HIS MOUTH RIGHT INTO THE JAWS OF THE DEVIL. IF THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS CONTROL IN YOUR LIFE, HE WILL KEEP YOU AWAKE. HE WILL PREPARE YOU AND MAKE YOU WORTHY OF ESCAPE AS YOU YIELD TO HIM DAILY, AND THEN HE WILL DRAW OTHERS ACROSS YOUR PATH SO THAT YOU CAN BE AN INSTRUMENT IN HIS HANDS TO HELP MAKE OTHERS READY AND WORTHY OF ESCAPE. IT'S TIME TO MOVE FOR JESUS. IT'S TIME TO GET READY AND STAY READY THE REST OF YOUR LIFE 'TIL JESUS COMES. IF WE CAN GET READY AND MAKE PREPARATIONS FOR APPOINTMENTS OR FOR EVENTS IN OUR LIFE, WELL THEN SURELY WE CAN TAKE THE TIME AND MAKE THE EFFORT TO PREPARE AND MAKE READY FOR THE GREATEST EVENT OF A LIFETIME, THE RAPTURE. FOR I WARN YOU TONIGHT THAT HEAVEN'S APPOINTMENT IS MUCH CLOSER THAN ANY OF US THINK. GOD BLESS YOU TONIGHT. [applause] A GOOD MESSAGE! A GOOD MESSAGE THAT BLESSED US, RIGHT? [applause] AND WE PLAN TO BE COUNTED WORTHY TO ESCAPE, AND MANY OF US WILL BE. WE'RE COUNTED TONIGHT WORTHY TO GO, AND THAT'S THE REASON THE LORD IS BLESSING THIS MINISTRY SO. THIS MINISTRY IS A PART OF YOU; IT'S OUR VERY LIVES JOINED TOGETHER IN CHRIST JESUS. AND THE ANGELS JOIN US IN EACH AND EVERY SERVICE, AND THAT'S SOMETHING. ANGELS ARE HERE TONIGHT; AND ANGELS MINISTER TO THOSE THAT ARE HEIRS OF SALVATION. IT'S SOMETHING TO BE IN A PLACE, IN A SERVICE WHERE ANGELS JOIN, AND THEY JOIN BY THE THOUSANDS IN OUR OVERSEAS CRUSADES. THE POWERS OF THE DEVIL ARE SO STRONG, AND THE ANGELS WILL HOLD BACK THE POWERS OF THE DEVIL; AND THE FIRE OF THE HOLY GHOST WILL COVER THE SKY OVER THOSE THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE, AND THE GLORY OF THE LORD RAINS DOWN. AND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WILL BE SAVED IN MOMENTS OF TIME; THOUSANDS WILL BE BAPTIZED IN THE HOLY GHOST. THE LORD SAID, "IN THE LAST DAYS, I'LL POUR OUT MY SPIRIT UPON ALL FLESH." THE MINISTER TONIGHT TOLD US MANY GOOD THINGS TO ENCOURAGE US, TO LIFT US UP ABOVE ALL THE CARES OF THIS LIFE. HE STRESSED THE FACT THAT WE ARE INDEED THE RAPTURE GENERATION. WE HAVE TO BE BECAUSE THE LORD DESCRIBED WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE, AND IT'S LIKE HE SAID. IT'S LIKE HE SAID. ALL THOSE THINGS ARE HAPPENING, AND HE SAID, "I WILL BE AT THE DOOR." AND SO THIS IS IT. YOU DON'T HAVE ANY TIME TO LOSE, NOT ANY TIME. YOU IN TELEVISION AND RADIO LAND, YOU HAVE NO TIME TO LOSE. ARE YOU READY? ARE YOU WITH US? ARE YOU SPONSORING THIS JESUS WORLD OUTREACH? DO YOU HAVE A BURDEN FOR LOST HUMANITY? IF YOU DON'T, GET TO THAT PLACE IN THE LORD THAT YOU DO HAVE BECAUSE YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO HAVE A BURDEN FOR THE LOST TO BE COUNTED WORTHY TO ESCAPE THE SEVEN YEARS OF AWFUL TRIBULATION. AND JESUS SAID THERE'S NEVER BEEN A TIME LIKE IT, NO, NEVER SHALL BE AGAIN; AND UNLESS THE TIME IS LIMITED, CUT SHORT, BE NO FLESH SAVED. THAT'S HOW AWFUL HE SAID IT WOULD BE. REVELATION TELLS US THE AWFULNESS OF IT, AND WHO WILL BE ABLE TO STAND? THANK GOD, WE'RE PLANNING-- WE'RE GOING TO BE GONE, COUNTED WORTHY TO ESCAPE, NOT TO HAVE TO FACE DEATH, TO BE CHANGED! AND I'VE ALREADY EXPERIENCED, AS I TOLD YOU, IN A LIVE VISION. IT WAS JUST AS REAL... I JUST SEEMED TO BE ACTUALLY CAUGHT UP. THERE WERE MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF US SHOUTING, "HALLELUJAH! HALLELUJAH!" I DON'T KNOW HOW HIGH I WAS, BUT I WAS CHANGED IN A SPLIT SECOND. IT WAS SO EASY. IT WAS SO WONDERFUL. THERE WASN'T ANY PAIN TO IT. ONE MOMENT I WAS IN THE FLESH, THE NEXT MOMENT I HAD MY WONDERFUL GLORIOUS BODY THAT THE BIBLE PROMISES US, AND ABLE TO RISE RIGHT UP WITHOUT ANY TROUBLE. I WAS ABOUT SO HIGH BEFORE I HAD TIME TO THINK WHAT WAS HAPPENING. AND I WAS SO CLOSE TO PEOPLE I COULD SEE THEIR EYELASHES. IT WAS A GLORIOUS SIGHT. I'VE LIVED IT, RE-LIVED IT. IT'S THE ONLY TIME I'VE EVER HAD THAT EXPERIENCE. BUT IN THIS FINAL HOUR, THE LORD HAS GIVEN ME MANY EXPERIENCES, AND GIVING ME MORE NIGHT AND DAY, MAKING HIMSELF SO REAL SO I CAN MAKE HIM REAL TO YOU THAT YOU CAN MAKE HIM REAL TO THE WHOLE WORLD. AND WE'RE PULLING DOWN HEAVEN UPON EARTH. THAT'S WHAT'S SAVING THIS OL' WORLD, KEEPING IT FROM DESTRUCTION RIGHT NOW; BUT WHEN THE SALT, WHEN THE BRIDE'S TAKEN OUT, THE SALT'S GONNA BE GONE, AND WOE, WOE. THE BIBLE TEACHES IT: "WOE, TO THE INHABITANTS OF THE EARTH." EVEN THE ANGELS IN REVELATION SAYING, "WOE, WOE TO THE INHABITANTS OF THE EARTH." THINK ABOUT IT. HELP ME PRAY FOR THE LOST IN RADIO LAND AND TELEVISION LAND. OH, GOD! [audience repeats] I'M A SINNER. I'M IN THE NIGHT. I WOULDN'T BE COUNTED WORTHY TO ESCAPE IF YOU WOULD COME TONIGHT. LORD, I'M COMING INTO THE LIGHT. I'M SO SORRY I'VE SINNED AGAINST YOU, BUT I'VE COME HOME, AND I'M GOING TO SERVE YOU, WALK WITH YOU IN HOLINESS, IN RIGHTEOUSNESS THE REST OF MY LIFE. AND I BELIEVE, OH, I DO BELIEVE THAT THE BLOOD OF JESUS WASHES AWAY ALL OF MY SIN, ALL OF MY SIN! SAY, COME INTO MY HEART, JESUS! COME ON IN, JESUS! COME ON IN! IF YOU MEANT THAT, NOW YOU CAN SAY, HALLELUJAH, JESUS IS MINE! AND THEN YOU GO ON AND RECEIVE THE GOOD HOLY GHOST. IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THE HOLY GHOST, WRITE ME. I KNOW HIM. HE DWELLS ON THE INSIDE OF ME, AND ON THE INSIDE OF HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE THAT'S HERE TONIGHT. WE KNOW HIM AND THE POWER OF HIS RESURRECTION, AND WE CAN TELL YOU ABOUT HIM. AND YOU CAN RECEIVE HIM; AND YOU MUST HAVE HIM TO BE CHANGED. IT WAS THE HOLY GHOST THAT CHANGED ME IN THE VISION. JUST LIKE A FLASH AND I WAS CHANGED AND HAD MY GLORIFIED BODY. HOW WONDERFUL IT WAS, ABLE TO FLY WITHOUT WINGS. IT'S SOMETHING TO MOVE AT WILL. AND IT WON'T TAKE US ANY TIME WHEN WE MEET JESUS IN THE AIR FOR HIM TO TAKE US THE REST OF THE WAY. HE'LL BRING OUR LOVED ONES WITH HIM THAT DIED IN THE LORD, AND WE'LL GO RIGHT ON WITH HIM TO HEAVEN TO THE FATHER'S THRONE. WE'LL BE THERE IN A LITTLE BIT OF NO TIME. WONDERFUL INDEED. WE HAVE GREAT THINGS IN STORE FOR US. SO PRESS ON, CHILDREN, IT WON'T BE VERY LONG. DO YOU NEED A MIRACLE? WILL YOU GIVE HIM THE HONOR AND THE GLORY? WILL YOU BELIEVE WITH THIS SERVANT OF GOD? LORD, HERE THEY ARE, BEFORE THEIR RADIOS AND TELEVISION SETS, WITH THEIR HAND ON THE TELEVISION SCREEN OR HAND ON THE RADIO, AGREEING WITH THIS LOWLY SERVANT OF GOD THAT YOU WILL HEAL THEM. MAYBE THE DOCTORS HAVE SAID, "WE CAN'T DO ANY MORE," AND WITH SORROW IN THEIR VOICES, "WE'VE DONE ALL WE CAN DO." BUT JESUS GIVES MASTERFUL SURGERY. IT'S NEVER TOO LATE; HE EVEN RAISES THE DEAD. HEAL! IN THE BLOOD- NAME OF JESUS. HEAL! I FEEL THAT POWER SURGING THROUGH ME, GOING OUT THROUGH MY ARMS AND INTO MY FINGERS TO THE TELEVISION SCREENS. TAKE THIS POWER. SOME OF YOU REALLY FELT IT. SOME OF YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN SLAIN IN THE SPIRIT. IT HAPPENS. YOU CAN BE MADE WHOLE. GET WELL NOW. EXPECT TO GET WELL, AND WRITE AND TELL ME ABOUT IT. I WILL REJOICE WITH YOU. I GIVE HIM ALL-- YOU MUST GIVE THE LORD ALL THE HONOR, THE PRAISE AND THE GLORY. I NEVER TOUCH HIS GLORY. I NEVER TAKE THE CREDIT FOR THE HEALINGS AND MIRACLES. THEY COME FROM JESUS. HE IS OUR HEALING CHRIST. AND HE HEALED ME WHEN I WAS NIGH UNTO DEATH. I WENT SO CLOSE TO DEATH THAT I THOUGHT I HAD TWO OR THREE MORE DAYS AT THE MOST TO LIVE. THAT'S CLOSE. I KNEW THE LORD, BUT I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY HE WASN'T GOING TO HEAL ME; BUT THEN IT HAPPENED. AND YOU MAY BE WITHIN REACH OF YOUR MIRACLE NOW. DON'T GIVE UP; DON'T GIVE UP.
