• 0:13
  Speaker 1: I love the Lord. He heard my pride and pitied
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: every groan. This poor man cried, and the Lord heard
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: him and delivered him from all of his fears. Blessed
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: be the name of the Lord, our God, who is
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: worthy to be praised. From this time forth and even
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: for ever more, from the rising of the sun until
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: the going down of the same, the name of the
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Lord is to be praised. Let the redeemed of the
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Lord say so, whom he hath redeemed out of the
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: hand of the enemy. We welcome you once again to
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: this another edition of End Time Revival Ministries USA podcast.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: I am your host, Pastor al Zachary, and again we
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: are as always grateful to the Lord for life, health, strength,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: all of his benefits that he has bestowed upon us.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: So freely, amen, what shall I render to the Lord
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: for all of his benefits. I will take the cup
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: of salvation, the Psalmis says, and I will call upon
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: the name of the Lord. I will call upon the Lord,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: who is worthy to be praised soul. Shall I be
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: saved from my enemies? Thank God for victory. Thank God
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: that he has saved us and called us to this
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: great hope, and calling that we have in Christ, Jesus
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: our Lord. Amen, we are again a man unworthy recipients
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: of his mercy. But thank God that He had mercy
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: on us. He loved us while we were yet enemies.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: He called us to himself a man. He made us
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: able ministers of the New Testament. And we a man
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: stand in the grace of God, a man because of
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: his goodness that led us to repentance. And so we
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: pray and intercede for all who are lost and outside
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: of the ark of safe that God will open their
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: eyes Amen, their ears, Amen, that they may hear, and
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: certainly their hearts, that they be quickened. That they be
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: a man broken in repentance, and come a man falling
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: down before the feet of Jesus, saying what must I
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: do to be saved? And he will, he will, he will,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: he will a broken heart. The Bible says, in a
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: contrary spirit, he will in no wise despise. And so
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: we praying it to see for those who are lost,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: that they may come to know that Jesus is the Way,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Truth and the life. No one, no one comes to
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: the Father but by Him. Amen. So we preach Jesus
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Christ and him crucified, who is again the King of kings,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Lord of lords, and he is soon to return. We
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: certainly are living in the last of the last days.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: And Amen. It is our mission Amen, in this ministry,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: at least, it is our mission and our endeavor. Amen,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: to cry a loud spare not lift of our voice
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: like a trumpet in Zion, as the scriptures say, show
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: my people their transgressions and the House of Jacob their sin. Amen.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: God is coming back. Amen, He is coming back. Amen.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: And Jesus said, it's going to be as a thief
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: in the night. But he's coming for people that are prepared,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: people that are looking for him in anticipation of his return,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: making themselves ready. Amen for the return of the Savior.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Amen of our souls. Amen. Again, God bless you each
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: and every one of you who pray for and or
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: support the work of this ministry. We thank God for
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: each of you who have become subscribers. Amen, and we
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: pray that you will continue if you have not already
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: sharing it with someone else. Amen. And again, it is
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: our endeavor to preach the Word to be instant in
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: season out of season, as the Bible, the Word of
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: God commands us to do, a man to be instant
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: in season out of season, reprove, rebuke, exhort with all
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: long suffering and doctrine for the Bible prophesies of this.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: The time will come, and we know that it is
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: already here when men will not want to hear sound doctrine.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: The Bible tells us this. But they will heat to
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: themselves teachers, having itching ears and turning away their ears
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: from the truth. They will be turned to fables. Tell
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: me something good, Tell me what I want to hear. Amen.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: But I'm sorry for those of you who a man
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: want to desire to yearn to a man hear fables
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: and good time stories. I don't have that for you.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: I am accountable, I am responsible. I am a steward,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: and I must give an account to the Lord for
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: this ministry. And I take it seriously, and I endeavored
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: by the grace of God, by the help of God,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: to always speak the truth in love a man, and
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: to proclaim a man Jesus Christ, this gospel. It is
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: the power of God and to salvation to everyone that believes.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: He is the only, the only mediated between God and man.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: He is the only way of salvation. He is the door.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: He is the Light, he is the good Shepherd, He
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: is the Way, Truth and life. Amen. Life more abundantly
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: comes through him and man, if you want peace and
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: joy hoping a man of future is in Jesus Christ,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: by him, through him alone. Whom are you seeking? That's
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: a title or subject if you will of our Amen
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: podcast on today. Whom are you seeking? These words come
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: from Jesus in the Gospel of John, chapter twenty eighteen.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. If you have your bibles, go with us
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: there John's Gospel, chapter number eighteen. Again, before we delve
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: into the word of the Lord, to take just a moment, Amen,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: as we invoke the President of the Lord Father again,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: we want to just thank you and bless your name
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: for all of your goodness and your mercy, loving kindness
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: toward us while we were yet sinners. Christ died for
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: the ungodly. Amen. So we thank you Lord for calling
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: us out of the darkness into your marvelous light and
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: giving us this great hope that is in Christ. Jesus
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: our Lord, thank you for Amen, every listening ear, and
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: every obedient heart. We pray that somewhere someone will see
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: and hear and come to know that you are the
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: truely Living God, and there's none like you. May your
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: word have free course, Oh Lord, may it prosper wherever
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: you send it. We thank you now in advance in
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Jesus name, we pray, Amen and Amen. The Gospel of John,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: chapter number eighteen. Of course, we've been in this magnificent
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: a man gospel account given to us by the great
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: apostle John, a man who also wrote the Book of
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: the Revelation of Jesus Christ and three epistles to the Church.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: He was one of the apostles of Christ. A man,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: a first hand eyewitness of the majesty of Jesus. He
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: was with him a man during the passion of the
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Christ that final week, a man in which Jesus a man,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: gave final, if you will, preparations of words and teachings
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: to his disciples, his apostles, as well as we've just
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: spent the last few Amen podcasts with this a man,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: this last Supper, and on this very night, Amen, Jesus
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: is going to be betrayed by Judas into the hands
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: of sinful men, turned over to the gentiles. Amen, to
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: be put to death for our sins and our trendsgressions. Amen,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: And so he prayed, as we've already looked at in
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: the past few sessions, a man this high, what we
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: call priestly high, priestly prayer, and John's Gospel, chapter seventeen.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: But when we turned page a Man to John eighteen,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: we find that Jesus after interceding for the apostles and
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: for his church, those of us who would believe on
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Jesus through their preaching. And that's what we are. We
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: are the recipients of Amen, this great Gospel, a man
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: handed down to us by these faithful apostles, whom Jesus
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: chose and sent out into the world to preach the gospel.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Preach the gospel. That's still the mission and mandate of
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: the church. Go into all the world, preach a man
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: the Gospel to every creature that believes in is baptized.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Shall be said, go make disciples, teaching them to observe
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: all things that I have commanded you. And Jesus said, lo,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: I'm with you always until the end of the world.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: And so now Jesus having ended a man this supper,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: having ended this prayer with his apostles, the Bible says,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: when he had spoken these words verse number one of
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: chapter eighteen. He went out with his disciples over the
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: brook Kedron, where there was a garden, where he and
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: his disciples entered. And Judas verse two, who betrayed him,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: also knew the place, for Jesus often met there with
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: his disciple Piples. Then Judas, having received a detachment of troops.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: These are soldiers, amen, and officers from the chief priests
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: and pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons. Jesus, therefore,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: knowing all things that would come upon him, went forward
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: and said to them, whom are you seeking? Love that question,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Love that question, love that question. Whom are you seeking?
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus said to them,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: I am He. And Judas, who betrayed him, also stood
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: with him. Now, when he said to them, I am He,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: they drew backward and fell to the ground. Then he
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: asked them again, whom are you seeking? And they said
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus answered, I have told you that
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: I am he. Therefore, if you seek me, let these
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: go their way. A little bit ironically, I suppose in
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: this encounter that we've just read this narrative, Jesus in
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: the garden of Yosemite, with his disciples, with its apostles. Rather, Amen,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: judas comes a man with this detachment, A man Jesus
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: in this encounter, with his cap towards as it would be,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: a man who were, by the way, of course, sent
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: by the chief priests, the Sanhedrin, those who were envious
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: of Jesus, jealous of him, the haters. A man Jesus
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: twice two times, if you paid attention to the word here,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: he twice asked, this now what I supposed to be,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: at least to me anyway intriguing question? Whom are you seeking?
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Whom are you seeking? Now? Now again, if you would
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: allow me to digress for just a moment. I'm personally
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: intrigued with many of the questions that Jesus is asked
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: in the gospel narratives, and more, particularly when he was
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: in dialogue with the opposition, the Pharisees, the Sadducees, the scribes,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: the elders again, those who oppose Jesus vehemently, and they
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: were just again enemious of him. The crowds, the multitudes,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: his power, his authority, and man, the people were drawn
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: to Jesus. Amen, and they the opposition. The Pharisees the
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: Sadducees describes amen. They would often seek Jesus out, but
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: not from a heart of seeking to be saved, but
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: rather seeking to savage. I suppose whatever power, position, or
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: political influence influenced that they, at least in their minds,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: believed that they possessed Ah. And I you know, and
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: I think about this even now in our day. It
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: is it is just the foolishness and the folly of
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: the feudal mind of man, the carnal mind of man,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: who who builds houses and cities and streets they name
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: after themselves, and they think that their posterity is forever,
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: and they fail to realize that the earth is the Lord's,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: the fullness thereof the world, and everything in it. It
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: all belongs to him, our power, all all power, by
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: the way all dominion emanates from him. It is of Him,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: in him, through him, that all things exist. And a man,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: we are only here for a season. But again in
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: the feudal mind of man, when he is threatened by
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: some rising power, as he sees it, a man, and
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: that's what Jesus was. Jesus was a threat. He was
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: a threat to their power, and Pilot even knew it
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: and understood it. They were envious of Jesus when they
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: brought him a man to Pilot to be tried and
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: of course murdered, because that's what it was. I mean,
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: they were threatened. They were threatened, and so they opposed Jesus.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Often they came seeking Jesus out for the express purpose
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: of seeking to entrap him to have something that they
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: might accuse him of before a man Pilot and the
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Roman government, if you will, so you find in the
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: gospel narratives Jesus dialoguing with a man, the haters and
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: ravel rousers as they were really because that's what they did.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: They stirred up the crowd against Jesus, Amen, and turned
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: them on Jesus as it were. But amen, if you read.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: And by the way, years ago, I did a whole
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: series on the radio with select questions that are found
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: and found in the gospel narratives questions that Jesus asked.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Most of them, I believe were questions that he asked,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: but also a man questions that were directed at him.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: And so these questions that Jesus asked were always intriguing
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: to me. But I must confess that here in the
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: eighteenth chapter this particular question, and it was repeated quite
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: twice here, whom are you seeking? It never really dawned
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: on me, a man the other side of this question,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: if you will. And so I thought about this question
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: when I was reading this. He asked again this question twice,
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: whom are you seeking? And of course they said Jesus
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: of Nazareth. And Jesus answered them saying, I have told
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: you the second time, that is that I am he. Therefore,
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: if you seek me, let these go. Now, of course
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Jesus is speaking in reference to letting the disciples go.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: The remaining eleven, who you know were, of course they were.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: They were thoroughly confused, of course, and frighten Peter. Of
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: course we know in the same chapter here is going
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: to take out his sword and take off the ear
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: of one of the servants of the high priests. But
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: they were in perplexity. Amen. So Jesus says, I am here,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: and if you're seeking me, let these go, Let these go. Amen.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: He is in the process of surrendering himself over to
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: them for the primary purpose by the way for which
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: he came into this world. He came to die he
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: came to this a man point of death. And that's
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: why he would pray in the garden. Amen, if it
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: be possible, let this cup pass. Nevertheless, not my will,
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: but thine be done for this cause. I came to
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: this hour, now, Father, glory, ify thy name a man.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: So he came to this hour to give himself. Now,
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: if someone no one would actually seek for Jesus. First
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: of all, let's establish the fact that Jesus is not lost.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: Let's establish the fact that Jesus doesn't need to be found,
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: and he certainly is not hiding. Okay, So number one,
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: Jesus is not lost. Number two, he doesn't need to
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: be found. And thirdly, he is not hiding. So parenthetically,
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: or I guess, paradoxically, we could say, when an individual
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: has quote unquote found Jesus, then as Jesus said, when
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: they came and found him, he said, let these go.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: So when someone finds Jesus, if you will, two must
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: let the others go. What others the other gods? And really,
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: as far as what Jesus said, all idols, of course,
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: have no other god before me, no other god beside me,
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: because there is no other anyway, But for all who
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: will be true disciples of Jesus. Now these are the
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: words of Jesus. You are to forsake all others. You
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: cannot love father, a mother, sister, a brother, husband or wife, children, nothing,
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: no one is to come before your love and devotion
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: for Jesus. Let go, Let go. You know, Jesus was
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: calling people to come, and they would say, well, you know,
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: I just got married, or I just started my business,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: or I just bought a house. No, no, let me
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: go and bury my father. And she said, no, no, no,
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: Let the dead buried the dead. But follow me. Listen
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: to what Jesus said. And by the way, also he said,
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: you have got to hate your own life also in
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: this world. Otherwise you're not worthy of me. You're not
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: worthy to be my disciple. If any man will come
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: after me, Jesus said, he must deny himself. He must
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: hate his father and mother and everything else. In other words,
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: that means nothing is to be preferred, nothing is to
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: be above, nothing is to be besides. Nothing is to
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: be on the same level as Jesus. He is the
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: pre eminent one. He is the one that we a
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: man laid down, reject all others, cast away all others.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: So if you're seeking for Jesus, as it were, as
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: they were, they came looking for Jesus. And so Jesus said,
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: I am he. And if you're seeking for me, let
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: these go. Let go of the old man has to
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: be crucified. The old way that I lived, that I
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: walked in, has to go. It has to go. Amen.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: So these soldiers, these officers, they came seeking to Jesus,
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: not realizing that he came seeking to save them. He
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: came seeking to save lost man, not himself. Jesus didn't come.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: He said, oh, oh I could, I could call down
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: legions of angels. But again for this cause, I came
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: to this hour. So Jesus, ironically, they come seeking for him,
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: But he came seeking for us. That's what he said.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: I came seeking to save that which was lost. So
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: here they come with their carnal weapons. And again when
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: Jesus said to them, I am he, they could not
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: remain standing in the presence of the power of his majesty.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: They went back with and fell to the ground. You
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: see the words, the words, the power that is in Jesus.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: He is the word, He is the living word. His
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: word is power, his word is authoritative. It's authoritative, and
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: it's full of potency. And no one can stand before
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: the word of the God. By the way the revelation,
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: if you're familiar with that, when the Lord comes back,
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: he's going to speak. The Bible speaks of this as
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: a sword that proceeds out of his mouth, and with
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: the power of his word, the homies that oppose the
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: nation of Israel, the people of God, the holy City
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: of Jerusalem are going to be destroyed simply by the
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: word of the mouth, the sword that proceeds out of
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: the mouth of God. And that's why the Bible tells
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: us we are not to live. Man is not to
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: out of the mouth of God. His word is power,
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: and he himself is the living Word. And that's why
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: when he said I am, don't miss that I I
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: am he They went backward and they fell to the ground.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: I am the one. I am the Almighty, Jesus says,
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: I am the first and the last, the Alpha, the Omega,
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: the beginning, the end. I am the Savior. And besides me,
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: he says, there is no other. I am the one
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: that you are seeking to kill. But I am the
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: one who gives to you eternal life. Whom are you seeking? Well,
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: there isn't that manishment in the world. I've got a
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: great invitation by the way, he says in the Book
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: of Isaiah. I believe it's chapter number fifty five. Seek
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: ye the Lord while he may be found, not again
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: that he is lost, that he is hiding. But we
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: must turn from the way we are going. When you
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: hear the call, when he stands and knocks at the
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: door of your heart, seek him while he may be found,
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: while he is knocking, while he is here, while he
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: is near, the Bible says, call upon him while he
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: is near. Let the wicked man forsake his way, and
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: the unrighteous man his thoughts, your way of thinking, your
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: decision making. There's a way that seems right into a man.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: But but but but but it's death, it's destruction. Let
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: him turn to the Lord and he will. Oh, I
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: love it. You know what God will do, The Bible says,
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: he will abundantly pardon. If you seek any other way,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: any other alternative by the witch, by the way which
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: doesn't exist, it's an illusion. It is delusion from the devil.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: There is no other way. And Jesus, if anyone even
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: attempts to climb up any other way, he's the same
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: as a thief and a robber. I am the way.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: Whom are you seeking? If you seek any other way,
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: any other option, any other alternative so called, you will
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: fall back, just as they fell back into a pit,
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: the pit brother of hopelessness, destruction, and eternal damnation. Whom
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: are you seeking? Is only one to seek. And he's
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: the one who came to seek and to save that
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: which is lost. And he stands at the door, and
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: he knocks, and if you will open, he will come in,
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: and he will sup with you. He will be in you,
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: he will live in you, he will change you, he
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: will save you, he will deliver you. He will keep
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: you in this present world and bring you safely to
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: the other side of glory, where there will be joy unspeakable.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: Who at his right hand, the Bible says, there are
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: pleasures forevermore. This is a great salvation. It is the
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: only hope, the only way by which any of us
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: can be safe. Whom are you seeking? Jesus alone is
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: the one to be salt. Father helps someone today to
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: know that you are standing at the door you are
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: knocking at the door of their heart. And if they
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: will simply open, if they will simply say, what must
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: I do to be saved, If they will simply repent
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: and turn with brokenness with contrition, O Lord, your word says,
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: you will rend the heavens. You will come in. You
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: will pour out of your spirit upon them, and they
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: will come to know that You are the True and
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: the Living God, the Savior, the Redeemer, the Hope of glory.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: Blessing we shall be blessed, keeping, we shall be kept
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: by your mighty power. We pray and give you thanks
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: for all things. Amen and Amen,
