soul. Amen, We certainly pray, Amen, that God will bless you
5:41

5:47
word of the Lord. We're going to be today again with this very important
5:53
question. Are you saved? And we're going to focus today on these two
5:58
words a man, These two Amen, very important Amen, prerequisites. That
6:04
is, in the word of God, believe and call. Amen, believe
6:12
and call. Believe on the name, call on the name. Amen.
6:19
Believe on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. And call on the name
6:24
of the Lord Jesus Christ. That is how Amen, you are saved.
6:30
Amen, believe it or not. There are people who say that they are
6:32
saved, and yet do not believe the word of God. Do not believe
6:36
that Jesus is who he said he is, do not believe in the exclusivity
6:44
of salvation in Jesus only. And furthermore, of course, Amen, with
6:49
this unbelief, they do not call on his name. Yet they claim to
6:54
be a believe that they are saved. Amen. But the Bible makes it
7:00
clear neither is their salvation in any other There is no other name, none
7:08
other given among men, whereby the Bible says we must be saved. Amen,
7:15
We must be saved by and through the name of Jesus Christ. Jesus
7:20
said these words Mark Chapter sixteen, verses sixteen through eighteen. He who believes
7:27
and is baptized will be saved, but he who does not believe a man
7:32
will be condemned. And these signs will follow those who believed. We're talking
7:39
about believing a man and calling on the name of the Lord. These signs
7:44
will follow those who believe. Jesus says in my name. See it's in
7:48
the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus, in the name of
7:53
Jesus, exclusively in the name of Jesus. Jesus. If you try to
7:58
come up any other way, you are thief and the robin. If you
8:01
don't believe that I'm he, You're gonna die in your sins. In my
8:03
name, they will cast out demons, They will speak with new tongues.
8:09
They will take up serpents, and if they drink anything deadly, it will
8:11
by no means hurt them. They will lay hands on the sick, and
8:15
they will recover in My name. The baptism it is in his name,
8:22
and he Jesus, as John the Baptists testified, is the one, the
8:26
only one who baptizes with the Holy ghost and fire. The Bible tells us.
8:31
Now, there are two things. Again, these two things that are
8:33
prerequisites, Amen, for anyone to be saved. They have always been required
8:41
since the fall of man in the Garden of Eden. Amen. And again
8:46
these two things are believe on the Lord and call upon the Lord. It
8:52
is found consistently throughout the scriptures by those who were saved and delivered from their
8:58
sins. Live it, from their troubles, saved from distress, out of
9:03
anguish, anguish of soul, from sicknesses, from diseases, from afflictions,
9:09
from pain, sorrow, fears, doubts, you name it, and even
9:13
in some cases from their enemies. Amen, believe and call upon the name
9:20
of the Lord. Amen, the truly saved, those of you who are
9:24
truly saved, and anyone who will be truly saved, Amen, is truly
9:30
saved. They believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. And those who
9:35
are truly saved, they call on the name of the Lord. Now,
9:41
what does it mean to believe on the Lord? What does it mean to
9:43
call upon the Lord? That's what we're gonna be talking about. But first
9:46
and foremost, let me just say this very quickly. You seek after Him,
9:50
you desire for him, as the sum say, as the dear panted
9:54
for the water, soul, my soul longs after thee. Amen. So
9:58
you for him, and you look to him. Amen. Your your hope,
10:03
your your amen is not based or built upon anything else. Amen.
10:11
It's not rooting in anything else. It's not trusting in anything else but Jesus
10:16
Christ and him alone. Amen. So you look to him. Amen.
10:22
The Bible speaks of Jesus, a man who as the author and the finisher
10:26
of our faith. Amen. And as I said, already a man.
10:31
This is replete throughout the scriptures. Men calling on the name of the Lord
10:35
is found in the very first book of the beginning. Amen. You go
10:39
back to the Book of Genesis, chapter number four. The Bible tells us
10:43
beginning the verse number twenty five, Adam knew his wife again. This is
10:46
after the murder of Cain. Cain rather killing Abel his brother, after the
10:52
murder the very first murder that happened in the human race. Cain, of
10:56
course, a man who refused to obey God. He didn't believe as he
11:01
ought to have believed, because when you believe a man God, you obey
11:05
him. Kin believed that he could come a man to the Lord his own
11:09
way. Amen. That's what he actually believed, and that God would accept
11:13
it. And many people have that same way, that same attitude. So
11:18
after the murder of Kine, the Bible says, Adam knew his wife again,
11:22
and she bore a son and named him Seth. He said, listen
11:26
what the Bible says, for God has appointed another seed for me instead of
11:33
or in the place of, if you will Abel, whom Cain killed,
11:39
verse twenty six. And as for Seth to him, also listen, listen
11:43
what the Bible says to him. Also a son was born, and he
11:48
named him Nash. But listen at this. This very sometimes obscure some people.
11:56
Sometimes we may have a tendency to kind of gloss over this. A
11:58
man. If you're reading the Bible, a man the very last verse,
12:05
verse twenty six of Genesis, chapter number four, This is what the Bible
12:07
says. Then men began to call on the name of the Lord. Amen.
12:18
So this is not something new, and it goes all the way back
12:22
to the first Amen generation, a man of humans, a man on this
12:28
earth, a man Adam, Eve, a man came able, Seth,
12:35
a man that very first family that was named for the names that we have
12:39
in the Bible. And to Seth was born a son, and he named
12:43
him. The Bible says Enosh. Then men began to call on the name
12:50
of the Lord. They realized that they needed him. They understood that they
12:54
could not be saved. They could not be they could not They understood their
12:58
sinfulness. Amen. They understood the state in which they were born. Amen.
13:03
The Bible tells us, we are born in sin and shaping an iniquity.
13:07
Amen. And because Adam and Eve sin, they inherited the very nation.
13:11
So have we the very nature of their parents, a man soul,
13:16
a man. Again, as we can see through the scriptures, you go
13:20
on down generations later Abraham, who was the father of the faith, a
13:24
man. The Bible tells us, if you read through the word of God,
13:28
through the life of Abraham, what is recorded in the scriptures. He
13:31
built altars, and he called on the name of the Lord. And so
13:35
did Isaac, so did Jacob, who came after him. And then of
13:41
course Moses, when God called him into service, Moses called on the name
13:45
of the Lord. And furthermore, Moses sought Amen, to see God face
13:50
to face. Amen. He longed to see God face to face, and
13:54
God dealt with Moses like he didn't know other. Amen. And so his
14:01
minister also that succeded him. Amen, Joshua. Joshua called on the name
14:05
of all of the judges in their roles as deliverers, understood and knew that
14:11
they needed their help to come from the Lord. As you remember, even
14:16
Sampson, a man, one who had Amen, gone astray, Amen,
14:20
and and disobeyed God. Yet at the end of his life. Amen,
14:26
what did he do? Amen? He repented, and he called on the
14:31
name of the Lord. Amen. All of the righteous kings that ruled.
14:37
Amen. They called on the name of the Lord, every single prophet,
14:41
Amen of the Lord. They called upon the name of the Lord. And
14:43
you look at Amen. In the scriptures, particularly in the Psalms, and
14:48
I'm just gonna read a few of them. A man, an overwhelming number
14:52
of the psalms. A man exhort, Amen, the reader, exhort the
14:58
participant, Amen, to call on the name of the Lord. They testify,
15:05
Amen, that they called up the psalm writer. Many of them were
15:09
written by David, but there were certainly many other writers of the Psalms.
15:13
Amen. They called upon the name of the Lord. Let me just give
15:18
you a few examples, beginning with Psalm number four Amen. Psalm number four,
15:22
verses one in three. Listen what the Psalmi says. Hear me when
15:24
I call, Oh, God of my righteousness, you have relieved me in
15:31
my distress. Have mercy on me and hear my prayer. Verse number three
15:37
he says, But know that the Lord has set apart for himself, him
15:41
who is godly. The Lord will hear when I call to him. Amen,
15:50
God will hear us a man church of the Living God. Amen,
15:54
People of God. And if you are unsaved, if you are not saved,
15:58
Amen, you haven't yet been delay. If you call on the name
16:00
of the Lord, Amen, in seeking him in sincerity and in truth,
16:07
he will hear. Amen. God does hear sinners. He hears them when
16:11
they call broken heart, he said, and a contrite spirit, I will
16:15
in no wise despise. Look at Psalm number fourteen Amen, verse number four.
16:19
Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? Who eat up my people
16:25
as they eat bread, and do not call on the Lord? See Amen,
16:30
the workers of iniquity, Amen, the evil, the wicked, Amen.
16:34
They do not call upon the name of the Lord. They don't they
16:38
The psalm is incredulous. Do they not have a knowledge? Have they not
16:42
known? Have they not heard? Amen? They do not call on the
16:48
name of the Lord. But the Psalmis says. In Psalm number eighteen,
16:52
verses three through six, he says, Listen, I will call upon the
16:56
Lord who is worthy to be praised. Listen what he's says, Soul,
17:00
Shall I be saved from my enemies? You want deliverance from the enemy,
17:07
Amen, call upon the Lord. Amen, call upon the Lord vengeance his
17:14
mind. He says, I will repay. Amen. If your enemy is
17:18
hungry, do what feed him? If he's thirsty, give him drink.
17:21
But call upon the name of the Lord, and trusting him at all times.
17:25
Amen, I will call upon the Lord who is worthy to be praised.
17:29
Soul, shall I be saved from my enemies? Verse numberfore, he
17:34
says, the pains of death surrounded me, and the floods of ungodliness made
17:41
me afraid. The sorrows of she old surrounded me, The snares of death
17:47
confronted me in my distress. Oh, I love this verse number six,
17:52
in my distress? Have you been in distress? Amen? Is their trouble?
17:56
Amen? Is their anguish of soul. Amen. But the Psalmist says,
18:00
when distress came upon me, in my distress, I called upon the
18:07
Lord I and cried out to my God. He heard my voice from his
18:12
temple, and my cry came before him, even to his ears. You
18:18
remember, amen. Amen. The Lord sent Moses. Amen, and make
18:22
mention of Moses. When God came and commissioned him, a man caught him
18:26
with the burning bush. Amen. The spectacle of that. Amen. The
18:30
Lord said to Moses, Amen, I have heard the cries of my people.
18:36
God hears. Amen. God knows the suffering, he knows, amen,
18:40
the anguish, he knows the distress, he knows the attacks of the
18:44
enemy. He knows every affliction, every pain, every sorrow. And he's
18:48
here Amen too, here Amen. His ears are open to the cries of
18:52
his people. Amen. So the Psalmists knew that, and he said,
18:56
in my distress, thank you Jesus. In my distress, I called,
19:03
amen, call upon the Lord. You want you want deliverance, Call upon
19:06
the Lord. I called upon the Lord and cried out to my God.
19:10
Oh, thank you Jesus. And he heard my voice from his temple,
19:15
and my cry listen, your cry will go all the way up to the
19:21
throne. My cry came before him, even to his ears. Psalm number
19:27
fifty five, Verses sixteen and seventeen. This is what the salmon says,
19:30
As for me, I will call upon God and the Lord shall save me.
19:37
Oh, thank you. Did y'all hear that call upon God and the
19:44
Lord shall save me. You want to be saved. If you're not saved,
19:48
you can need to call upon the Lord. Amen. So the salmon
19:51
says, as for me, I will call upon God and the Lord shall
19:55
save me evening and morning, and at noon. I will pray and cry
20:00
aloud, and he shall hear my voice. Amen. God hears the cries.
20:07
He hears the cries. Amen. A broken heart again and a country
20:11
spirit. He will in no wise despise. Psalm number eighty six. Look
20:15
at verses five through seven. For you Lord are good and ready to forgive,
20:22
and abundant in mercy. Oh, oh, watch this abundant in mercy
20:27
to all those who call upon you. Oh my God, do you want?
20:34
Do you need or you need it? You need it? You need
20:37
the mercy of God. Amen. But he has abundant mercy. This is
20:41
what the Bible says to all those who call upon him. Verse number six,
20:48
Give ear, o Lord, to my prayer, and attend to the
20:52
voice of my supplications. In the day of my trouble, Thank you Jesus.
20:59
Are we in trouble, Yes, we got trouble in this land.
21:02
We got trouble in this world. Amen. Amen. But in the time
21:04
of trouble He will hide us in this tabernacle. Amen. Amen, we
21:10
have shelter under the wings of the Almighty. So in the day of trouble,
21:14
listen what Salmon says. In the day of my trouble, I will
21:18
call upon you, for you will answer me. Thank you Jesus. We
21:22
have we have, we have. We have a name that is above every
21:26
name. Amen. We can call on the name of the Lord, and
21:30
we shall be safe, we shall be delivered, we shall be heard.
21:33
Amen. He hears the cries of his people. Sam number ninety nine,
21:38
Amen, Thank you Jesus. Verse number six. Moses and Aaron were among
21:42
his priests. Samuel was among those. Listen what the Bible says, Moses
21:49
and Aaron, I told you this earlier. Amen. About those Bibles replete
21:55
from Genesis and Revelation. Those who call upon the name of the Lord.
21:57
Moses and Aaron Psammas reminds us were among his priests, and Samuel was among
22:04
those who called upon his name. They called upon the name of the Lord.
22:15
If you want to be saved, you got to call on the name
22:18
of the Lord. If you want to be delivered, you need to call
22:21
on the name of the Lord. Amen. You need relief, you need
22:25
rest for your soul, you need to call on the name of the Lord.
22:29
Moses, Aaron, Samuel. The Bible says they were among those who
22:33
called upon his name. They called upon the Lord, and he answered them.
22:40
Amen. Moses, Aaron, Amen, Samuel, Isaiah, Elijah,
22:45
Elishah, Jeremiah, all of them same, no different, The Bible tells
22:51
us the New Testament Elijah was a man of like passions, just the ordinary
22:53
people, just like we are. Amen. But they called upon the Lord,
23:00
and the Bible says he answered them. God answered them, look at
23:07
Psalm number one oh five. I'm almost done with the psalms. Amen,
23:10
there's plenty, plenty, plenty. Amen. I'm gonna give you a couple
23:12
more. I believe here. Psalm number one oh five, Amen, Verse
23:15
number one the only verse there. He listened when the Bible says, this
23:18
is an admonishment. Oh, give thanks to the Lord. Call upon his
23:23
name, make known his deeds among the people's call. Call upon the name
23:30
of the Lord, Psalm number one sixteen. Look at verse number two,
23:33
Amen, because he has inclined his ear to me. That's what the Bible
23:37
say. Because God listens. That's what you need to understand. That's what
23:41
you need to know. He hears, He listens. You gotta believe that
23:45
God hears. You gotta believe that God listens. Amen, and that he
23:48
answers. Because he has inclined his ear to me. The Psalmon says,
23:55
therefore, I will call upon him as long as I live. Oh he
24:00
said, Listen what the psalmas his basis saying. Listen, I know the
24:03
Lord hears me. I've experienced it. So therefore I trust him. I
24:10
know that I can call upon him. He's gonna be there. He never
24:12
sleeps, he never slumbers. Amen. Look at verse number twelve. What
24:18
shall I render to the Lord for all his benefits towards me? Verse thirteen.
24:22
I will take the cup of salvation and call upon the name of the
24:30
Lord. Verse sixteen, Old Lord, truly, I am your servant.
24:34
I am your servant, the son of your maid servant. You have loosed
24:37
my bonds. I will therefore listen what the Psalma says. I will offer
24:41
to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the
24:52
Lord. Listen. Yeah, I'm still in the Old Testament. This is
24:55
still in the Old Testament. Y'all. Amen. Calling upon the name of
25:00
the Lord is not a new Testament Amen, concept or phenomenon. Amen.
25:06
Is not something that just started Amen, after the Day of Pentecost. Amen.
25:11
Amen. So we see again replete throughout the scriptures. Amen, that
25:15
men and women, a man of all of antiquity had to call upon the
25:22
name of the Lord, just as you and I must if Amen. And
25:26
if you're going to be saved, you must call upon the name of the
25:30
Lord. This one to the last one, Psalm number one, forty five,
25:33
Verses eighteen and nineteen. The Bibles listen very carefully. The Lord is
25:41
near to all who call upon him, to all who call upon him in
25:49
truth. Let me read that verse again, Psalm one five, verse eighteen.
25:55
The Lord is near to all who call upon him, to all who
26:03
call upon him in truth, he will Verse nineteen fulfill the desire of those
26:12
who fear him. He also will hear their cry and save them. Are
26:22
you saved? Are you saved? Are you calling upon the name of the
26:26
Lord? Do you call upon him? Amen? Do you believe that He
26:30
will hear? Amen? The overwhelming biblical evidence of our salvation and our deliverance
26:37
is rooted in calling on the name of the Lord. Everyone who has been
26:45
saved, everyone who will be saved is among those who call on the name
26:55
of the Lord. Ladies and gentlemen, Amen, Church of the Living God.
26:57
Those of you listen. If you are not yet saved, please understand
27:02
that salvation is just that simple. It really is. Amen. Salvation is
27:08
just that near to you. Amen. I'm gonna take you to the New
27:14
Testament in Romans chapter number ten, because Paul asked this question verse number fourteen
27:19
of Romans chapter ten. How shall how then shall they call on Him in
27:26
whom they have not believed? I mean this goes to again the fact that
27:30
in order to call upon the name of the Lord, you first must believed.
27:34
Now we've already demonstrated Amen. Throughout the scriptures, many women everywhere have
27:41
called upon the name of the Lord. They called out and understanding that they
27:48
needed him. Amen. And if we talked about this at the very outset
27:52
of this whole series. Amen. The problem that most people have that refused
27:56
to be saved is they don't feel the need. They don't think they need
28:00
a savior, so they don't call upon the name of the Lord. I
28:03
mean, they will look to anything and anyone else, but Amen, calling
28:10
upon the name of the Lord. You gotta understand that your need. That's
28:12
the first thing you need to understand that you need to be saved. Amen.
28:18
You need a savior, and there's only one. Amen, It's Jesus.
28:22
But the Bible says, how then shall they call on him in whom
28:26
they have not believed? If you don't believe, that's a problem. Amen.
28:33
An unbeliever will not call upon the name of the Lord. That This
28:38
is why Amen. The preaching of the Gospel, Amen, the word of
28:41
God. Amen, because faith comes by hearing, hearing by the word of
28:45
God. Amen. This is why God has commissioned us to go into all
28:48
the world and preach the Gospel. I just read it for you earlier,
28:52
Mark chapter sixteen. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved. Amen.
28:59
He that be leaves and is baptized shall be saved. Now, Jesus
29:06
commissioned the church to baptize in water. Amen. That's our responsibility. Amen.
29:11
The Church is to baptize those who make a confession in water in the
29:17
name of Jesus Christ. The Bible says, for the remission of their sins.
29:21
Now, Jesus himself is the only one who can give you. Baptize
29:26
you with the Holy Ghost. Again the testimony of John saying, I baptize
29:30
with water, But there's one coming after me who is mightier than I.
29:34
He's going to baptize you with the Holy Ghost and fire. So the baptism,
29:40
Amen, is only by Jesus Christ. Amen, only through him.
29:47
Amen, he is the one who will baptize you with the Holy Ghost and
29:52
fire. Of any man have not the spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ Romans
29:53
eight nine. He is not him. He does not belong to him.
29:57
Amen, he is not of his a man. You must be baptized into
30:02
the body by the spirit of the Living God, with the spirit of the
30:07
Living God dwelling inside of you. How then shall they call on him in
30:14
whom they have not believed, And how shall they a man believe in him.
30:18
The Bible says, of whom they have not heard, and how shall
30:22
they hear without a preacher? See, God sends the preacher. God commissions,
30:30
God sends. God ordains a man and sends forth his ministers to preach
30:37
the gospel. A man to preach the Word of God, a man,
30:42
and so a man. The preacher comes with the word. The word comes
30:48
to the hero. The heroer hears a man. The spirit of the Living
30:52
God is the only one who can bring conviction. No man can come except
30:56
he is drawn a man. The spirit of God does a work in the
31:00
heart. Amen, to produce faith in the heart. Amen. And once
31:04
faith is produced in the heart, there is a call that goes to the
31:08
center to come. Amen, to repentance. Amen. And remember what the
31:15
Lord said when I called you refuse, when I stretched out my hand,
31:18
you did not regard. Amen. He is calling. Amen. The Lord
31:22
is calling, and our response is to call upon him a man, and
31:26
he will deliver Amen. So he calls us to call upon him. Amen.
31:33
He gives that call. Amen. That's the call that comes from the
31:37
Lord to come and call upon him for your deliverance. Because you need to
31:44
be saved. So he sends the preacher with the word. The word produces
31:47
faith. Faith comes by hearing, hearing by the word of God. And
31:51
when you have the faith amen to believe, which comes by the word Amen,
31:57
then you can call on the name of the Lord. Because you cannot
32:02
call on him in whom you have not believed a man, that's the problem.
32:07
But no, unbelief is the problem, ladies and gentlemen, make no
32:12
mistake about it. Unbelief is the problem. I mean, there are people
32:16
who call Jesus Lord. That's a difference. By the way, because Jesus
32:22
a man asked that, I mean, addressed that brother. He said,
32:24
why call ye me lord Lord? And do not the things that I say?
32:30
Amen? Why call ye me lord Lord. That's the difference between calling
32:35
him lord and calling on the Lord. Amen. There is a difference.
32:38
There are people who call Jesus their lord, who honor him with their lips.
32:44
I mean, I'm still in what Jesus said. These people honor me
32:47
with their lips, but their heart it's far from me. So Romans Chapter
32:52
ten. In this same chapter I've just read from I'm gonna back up Diverse
32:55
number eight. It addresses the issue of the heart, because this is where
33:00
it immanates from. Amen. It must come from the heart. Listen what
33:05
the Bible says Romans, chapter ten, verse number eight. But what does
33:09
it say. The word is near you in your mouth and in your heart.
33:16
That is Listen what the Bible says, the word of faith, which
33:21
we preach. That's what Paul is saying. Here. We preach the Word
33:24
of faith, and it is near you, is right here. Jesus brought
33:30
the kingdom down down, he brought the Gospel down, He brought the truth
33:34
down, He brought grace down. He brought all of these things down,
33:37
personified, embodied, Amen. Amen, and just just just oozing out of
33:44
him, Amen. All kind of healing virtue, you name, everything came
33:49
Amen, bodily in Jesus, and he demonstrated his his uh his his uh
33:57
Amen, his deity Aman, while he was here on this earth. And
34:00
so we preach the Gospel. We preach the word of faith. We preach
34:06
the in word incarnate Jesus a man, the word of a living God,
34:08
the Word that was made flesh. Amen. We preach this word, this
34:13
truth, Amen, the truth that sets men free. Amen. So this
34:16
is what produces faith in the heart. Of man. Amen. The Bible
34:21
says it is near you. Amen. That's why I said earlier. Amen.
34:25
Salvation is just that simple, and salvation is just that near you.
34:30
Amen. It is near. The Word is near. Faith is near.
34:37
Amen. Believing is near. Jesus is near. Salvation is near. It's
34:42
not far off, It's right here. He brought it down. Amen.
34:45
The Word is near you in your mouth and in your heart. That is
34:49
the word of faith, which we preach verse of the nine, that if
34:52
you confess with your mouth the Lord g Us and believe in your heart.
35:04
See, it has to be a work in the heart. This is something
35:08
that's in the heart. Amen. This is not just lip service. I'm
35:12
gonna address this in just a minute. If you confess with your mouth the
35:15
Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead,
35:22
you will be saved. This is what Paul says, for with the
35:28
heart, not with the lips. Amen. Not. This is not just
35:34
again lip service, because again the Bible addresses and I've said it often,
35:39
often, often, often often throughout this series already what Paul wrote to Titus.
35:46
They profess that they know God. We have many professors. They profess.
35:52
That's lip service. They profess that they know God, but in works
35:57
they deny him because the truth is not in him. They're not of him.
36:00
John wrote about this. Had they been of us, they wouldn't,
36:05
no doubt, have continued with us. But they went out a man,
36:08
that it may be made manifest that they were not truly of us. Everybody
36:14
who is truly saved is saved and remains in the Father's hand Jesus addressed at
36:21
John chapterteen. Oh my God, I don't have time to go through all
36:23
of that again, ay man, But listen, with the heart one believes
36:27
unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Listen when
36:32
the Bible says, for the Scripture says, whoever believes, Remember we're talking
36:38
about believing and calling on the name of the Lord. Whoever believes on him
36:45
will not be put to shame, for there's no distinction between you and Greek,
36:50
for the same Lord. Listen when the Bible says over all, that
36:53
is over all men, everywhere, you or gentile, bana, free,
36:59
rich or amen. The same Lord over all is rich to all who call
37:09
upon him. For whoever verse thirteen, whoever calls on the name of the
37:21
Lord, shall be saved. That's the Bible. That's the word of the
37:29
Lord. Whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Now,
37:39
let me get back to this word confess. Now, confession here is
37:47
not simply again, we're not. The Bible is very clear about this lip
37:52
service. Something you say with him. And by the way, the Bible
37:57
already tells us that no man can say that Jesus is Lord, but by
38:01
the Holy Ghost. That's first and foremost, no one can say that Jesus
38:08
is Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. To believe on the Lord is
38:14
to confess him. It's again, this is a work that's in the heart.
38:19
This comes out of and to confess him means that you agree this confession.
38:23
Again, it's not just simply a lip service. But this means that
38:27
you agree. You're in agreement. You are in agreement with God. Amen,
38:35
your agreement with the Word of God. You agree that Jesus is who
38:38
the scriptures say that he is. You agree that he is what the what
38:44
the script Now not only who, but what the scriptures say that he is,
38:49
who he is and what he is a man. You agree also that
38:53
the scriptures is the word of the Living God. And remember he said of
38:59
all old mention a live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds
39:02
out of the mouth the Lord. Confession comes from believing in God's revelation,
39:08
agreeing with that revelation, and in living in obedience to that revelation. This
39:17
is why the Lord has painstakingly, Amen, revealed himself to us all the
39:24
way back in the book of Genesis. Again, men begin without the scriptures,
39:29
Amen, pre calvary. Amen. Men begin to call upon the name
39:37
of the Lord. That's the only way that you can be saved, calling
39:42
on the name of the Lord. Amen. Confession again comes from believing in
39:47
God's revelation what he has revealed to us. And He's revealed to us everything
39:52
we need to know. I mean everything we need to know, Amen,
39:55
in order to be saved. God has revealed it to us. It begins
40:01
with believing. That's where confession originates, in the heart believing, and then
40:07
you agree, you agree. If your heart doesn't agree, a man is
40:12
not coming out of your mouth because pride is going to prevent it. The
40:15
devil is gonna steal it. Like Jesus said, with the seed the sore
40:19
a man. The devil is going to steal it out of your heart a
40:22
man, and take it away from you a man, before you can believe.
40:25
He doesn't want you to believe. He's gonna present he's gonna do everything
40:30
he can to prevent you from believing. A man, all right, So
40:34
so listen, listen, listen. Confession comes from believing in God's revelation,
40:37
agreeing with that revelation, and in living in obedience to that revelation. The
40:45
true believers order their lives to conform to the holiness of God, to the
40:53
sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit. In their A man walk a man in
40:59
their pilgrim on this earth. As they a man, keep their eyes on
41:02
Jesus, run the race with patience, looking forward to the exceeding external I
41:08
mean exceeding eternal a man, and great and precious promises of God that he
41:14
has in store for all who call upon his name. The Bible tells us
41:19
in truth and sincerity. Listen. Believing on Jesus again is not lip honoring,
41:25
but faith produce in and out of the heart of man, and it
41:30
comes by the word of God. Again, I remind you, faith comes
41:34
by hearing the Bible tells us hearing by the word of God, no one
41:37
can believe on Jesus apart from the word of God. What did Jesus say
41:45
to those youths, Search the scriptures, Search the scriptures, Search the scriptures,
41:52
Search the Word of God. Search the scriptures. Jesus told them the
41:59
unbelief even Jews of his day, in them, in the scriptures, you
42:04
think you have eternal life. You think you are saved apart from me.
42:08
You think you have eternal life. Apart from me. You think you're gonna
42:13
climb up some other way. You think there is another way. Search the
42:17
scriptures, Jesus said, in them, you think you have eternal life,
42:23
And it is the scriptures that testify of me. You cannot. You will
42:32
not a man have eternal life, salvation, deliverance, Amen, victory,
42:42
nothing amen without Jesus, apart from him. In the beginning, John wrote
42:47
in his Gospel was the Word. The Word was with God, and the
42:53
Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were
42:59
made through him, and without him, nothing was made. That was made
43:06
In him was life. He's talking about Jesus, the Word of God,
43:10
the logos that was made flesh in him was life, and the life was
43:15
the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness
43:21
did not comprehend it. Amen. He was in the world Verse number ten.
43:25
The world was made through him. The world did not know him.
43:30
He came to his own speaking of the Jews. Amen, the nation of
43:36
Israel. Remember a man, when Angel Gabriel came to marry, Amen,
43:42
Matthew chapter number one. A man, he shall save his people from their
43:47
sins. Amen. He came to his own people to save them from their
43:53
sins. But those who did not believe could not be saved. Amen.
44:00
You cannot be saved unless and until you believe. You must believe that he
44:08
is the Savior, that he is the Light, that he is the living
44:13
Water, that he is the living Bread, that he is the Son of
44:16
God, that he is God incarnate, that he is the Redeemer. Amen,
44:23
of your soul, the only one, the Way, the Truth,
44:30
and the life. If you don't believe, Jesus said that I am He
44:34
I am before Abraham was I am. If you don't believe, Amen,
44:42
You're gonna die in your sins. You can't be saved. A man apart
44:46
from believing believing precede calling on the name of the Lord. How can they
44:53
call on him in whom they have not believed? You can, and again,
45:00
pride will prevent you. Amen. Pride will prevent you from calling on
45:07
the name. There there there, There are so many millions of people,
45:12
just literally millions, and I know it's millions because they are in these false
45:15
religions. Amen, none of Some of them give some kind of lip service
45:20
towards Jesus, but they don't believe in the exclusivity of Jesus as Lord and
45:24
Savior. They don't believe that he is God incarnate. Amen. They don't
45:29
believe that he is the only way. They don't believe that He is the
45:32
door. Amen. They don't believe. They don't believe that. Amen.
45:38
They give lip service to Jesus in some kind of way because they want to
45:42
kind of, you know, hedge in some of them, and actually they're
45:45
really not hedging. What they're doing is trying to deceive others because their message
45:52
a man is flat, is worthless, is fruitless, Amen, it is
46:00
it has no life because without Jesus you have no life. So their message
46:05
really has no life. So what they're trying to do in a lot of
46:07
these religions. Now they're trying to incorporate Jesus in some kind of way.
46:14
Amen. But they don't really believe that he is the only way. Amen.
46:20
They don't believe that he is the Christ. They don't believe that he
46:22
is God incarnate. Amen. But the Bible says, Amen, in the
46:29
beginning was the Word. The Word was God. Amen. With God,
46:34
and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All
46:37
things were made for him. Without him was nothing made. That was made
46:39
In him was life. The life was the light of man. The light
46:42
shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. You cannot
46:49
comprehend a man and understand who Jesus is until the glorious light a man shines
46:57
into your heart. Amen. And you believe. Amen. If you turn
47:00
your ear, if you turn your heart, if you harden your heart,
47:05
Amen, you will never come to faith. Amen. And at some point
47:09
in time God would give you over to your reprobate mind, to a reprobate
47:15
mind, Amen. To do those things. The Bible says, what you're
47:19
not convenient romans chefer number one. Listen again, verse number ten. He
47:22
was in the world. The world was made through him. The world did
47:25
not know him. He came to his own, and his own did not
47:30
receive him. But as many as received him to them, he gave the
47:37
right to become children of God. Listen what the Bible says to those who
47:45
believe, to those Let me say that one hundred times. I wish I
47:50
could say it one hundred times to those who believe in his name, To
47:53
those who believe in his name. The only ones, the only people,
48:00
the only the only men and women who will become who are the children of
48:09
God, are those who believe in his name. This is what the Body
48:15
says. I'm gonna read it again. But as many as received him Jesus,
48:21
as many as received him to them, he gave the right to become
48:31
children of God to those who believe in his name. This is what the
48:38
body says, verse thirteen. Who were born not of blood, nor of
48:45
the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of
48:50
God. Oh, thank you Jesus. This salvation is not of man.
48:54
This is this is not this I listen. This is by girl. I'm
49:00
here by the grace of God. Amen, by the will of God.
49:04
Amen, by the foreknowledge and predetermined will of God. Amen, preordained.
49:09
Amen, God call me, and thank God. I heard the call,
49:15
and I answered the call. But I wasn't seeking for him. He came
49:17
seeking for me. He came seeking for me. We were born. Not
49:22
of blood. You don't get that because of your lineage, your heritage.
49:27
Amen. Who your mother, your father, your great grandparents or Amen.
49:30
None of those things. Amen. Not of blood, nor the will of
49:35
the flesh, nor the will of man, but of God. And list
49:39
when the body says verse number fourteen, John chapter one, and the Word
49:44
became flesh and dwelt amongst us, and we beheld his glory, the glory
49:52
as of the only Begoden of the Father, full of grace and truth.
50:00
Amen. That's Jesus, the light of the world, the bread of life,
50:05
the water of life. Amen. The I Am the first and the
50:09
last, the Alpha. Then Omega, the beginning in the end. Amen,
50:15
the Word of God. Amen. John chapter three, verse thirty six.
50:20
Listen when the Bible says, he who believes in the Son has everlasting
50:23
life, and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life,
50:30
but the wrath of God abides on him. Listen. John wrote his gospel
50:39
with the express purpose of the reader coming to faith, coming to believe faith
50:47
comes by hearing, hearing the word of God. John wrote his gospel,
50:52
his purpose for writing, and he concluding including the signs that he included in
50:58
his Amen his gospel at the end end of the very the end of chapter
51:02
twenty, by the way, verse thirty one. I just read that verse
51:07
of Saint John's Gospel, Chapter twenty, verse thirty one. Listen what he
51:09
says the purpose for him writing this. These are written that you may believe
51:19
that you and that word believed, by the way, is just saturated throughout
51:23
John's Gospel. Amen, these are written that you may believe that Jesus is
51:31
the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life
51:38
in His name. Listen, those who are truly saved, they believe on
51:45
the Lord, they believe in the Name, because again, neither is their
51:51
salvation in any other. Amen, you cannot you are not saved. I'm
51:57
just giving you what the Bible says. You cannot be saved. You are
52:00
not saved apart from Jesus, because they're salvation and no other So you have
52:07
no other way, You have no other name, no other avenue, nor
52:09
of an avatar. There's just no other way in order for men to be
52:15
saved but by Jesus Christ. Amen. And those who are truly saved,
52:22
they call on the Lord. If you believe, you call on the Lord.
52:27
Amen. So the question again is are you saved? Are you saved?
52:35
Have you been delivered from the power of sin, from the power of
52:37
Satan, from the power of the darkness, from the power of this world
52:44
system? Amen? Amen? Have you have you? Have you? Have
52:47
you been baptized into the body of Christ Jesus, he baptizes with the Holy
52:54
Ghost and fire. If you have not yet been delivered from the power of
53:00
sin, from the darkness of this evil and this wicked world, you must
53:05
first believe on Jesus. Believe on him, as the scriptures has said,
53:10
out of your belly shall flow rivers of living waters. Believe that Jesus is
53:17
the Christ, that he is the Savior, that he is the Redeemer.
53:22
Amen. If you believe, you shall be saved. You can be saved.
53:28
You will be saved. Amen. If you believe with the heart,
53:31
Paul says, man believes unto righteous is with the mouth. Confession is made,
53:37
and no one can say again that Jesus is Lord. But by the
53:43
Holy Ghost. If you believe, if you believe in your heart and you
53:50
call on his name, see, believe and call. Believe and call.
53:55
That's all throughout the Believe and call. If you believe and you call upon
54:00
the name of the Lord, you shall be saved. God will rend the
54:07
heavens. That's what he does. He rends the heavens to everyone who calls
54:13
upon him a man in truth and sincerity. If you call on the name
54:17
of the Lord, the promise is you shall be saved. Jesus himself,
54:23
Amen, will fill you with his presence, will fill you with his Holy
54:28
Spirit, will fill you with the power that you need to become an overcomer,
54:34
to be more than a conqueror. Today, if you are not saved,
54:39
if you are not yet saved, you are not yet delivered, Call
54:45
on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and be saved. Be saved
54:52
today. Father heaps on one to day to believe. Amen, to know
54:58
that you are the true in the Living God, that there's no other northern
55:00
way. Amen, for them to be delivered, for them to be saved,
55:04
for them to be set free. Lord, open their eyes made the
