00:00:00 Speaker: And may I say this to people that are not used to preaching the way I do? There is grace. No, I. I want you to understand that preaching conditions you to receive what I preach. In other words, the preaching of the word brings you into the faith to receive what I'm preaching. You understand? Faith cometh by hearing and hearing the Word of God. Preaching also, because I believe what I preach comes from the Lord, brings me into a place to receive, to minister what I preach. It's very important. So it does. Preaching then, is very much is very necessary today, both for you and both for me. Now, if you respond to what I say, you'll respond to what I pray. So it's very important. So now, God, from this moment as I begin to preach God's Word, he will bring you out of your fear, your unbelief, your doubt, by responding by you, responding to that word, by believing it. He'll bring you out of the condition that you're in, into what you need, whether it's healing for your body, soul, or spirit. That's how the Lord works in our meetings. Now that means by believing the word that I preach at any moment, you can lose your sickness. At any moment you can lose your sin also. In other words, you can be converted, saved, born again of the Spirit of God. Whichever term you are familiar with in the meeting, you can have, in other words, what you need. Now, have you got a need tonight? If you have got no need tonight, you're not reaching out. Then you'll get nothing but the knowledge of what I say. If you have a need, you'll get faith to receive what I say. Amen. Good. It's lovely. Now, if you've got your Bibles with you, that wouldn't wouldn't be unusual for people. I want you to. I'm going to speak tonight about the devil. And you won't hear me say anything good about him, simply because there isn't anything good to say about him. Now, a lot of people today are being confronted with, for the first time with the occult and with a very, um, well-known film that's just been produced called The Exorcist. And exorcism is the casting out of evil spirits. For those that are not familiar with the term casting out of evil spirits. And today, we are very conscious of the fact that the church, by the power of the Holy Spirit, is coming to the place where we are challenging directly Satan and evil spirits. A lot of sicknesses are caused by evil spirits. A lot of sicknesses. Asthma generally is one of those. I had a friend of mine who is a very well known international preacher, and he had a very bad case on his hands, and he prayed with this young man who only had a couple of months to live, just a couple of months to live. And somebody I believe is flown in here tonight also. I doesn't have too long to go because of asthma. And he said to this young man, I want you just to say the blood of Jesus Christ. Well, it was alright for the first hour. It wasn't too good for the second hour. But then all of a sudden this young man just began to scream. I can't say the blood of Jesus Christ any longer, because that's one thing the devil hates. If you're a Christian that use uses the blood of Jesus Christ and you've got faith in that blood, you won't be attacked by Satan. You'll be attacking Satan. I can assure you it's tremendous. Today, the power of the blood is just as powerful. Believe you me, anyway, everything came up from his lungs. Everything with his spirit. It came out of him. And it was also a death spirit as well. It was taking his life at that point. And he came out and that man was completely healed, delivered and set free, which is a complete miracle. He swamped the table, the whole floor, the whole lot from his lungs. Everything came up, leaving his lungs absolutely free. How that works out? I don't really know, but I heard his testimony and I know the minister personally, and it's a tremendous miracle. Now I'm here because I have no respect for Satan whatsoever and no respect for what he can do. I've only a respect for what God can do, because I've seen the Lord in action. And I've seen Calvary. God gave me revelation of Calvary and I saw what happened. Jesus Christ was manifested to destroy the works of the devil. Now let's call the works of the devil the works of the devil. I believe in calling a spade a spade, not an agricultural instrument, as Derek Prince is always quoting. Now the Lord, the Peter when he was writing, and Luke sorry, Peter preaching. Luke writing in acts chapter ten, verse thirty eight. Don't turn there. He said, How God anointed Jesus Christ with power, and the Holy Ghost, who went about healing all those that were oppressed of the devil. Sickness comes from Satan, the Lord Jesus Christ. And two thirds of his ministry healing the sick, he laid the blame at Satan's door for everything. Now, today we are here, I believe in the power of the Holy Spirit. To come against Satan and his works, so that the people in this meeting that are bound in any way will be set free. I've seen people set free mentally and even handkerchiefs. People don't know that even taking a handkerchief in the presence of a demon possessed person, the spirits will cry out and come out of the people. One man did that who had a wife in that condition and came into the room, and she said, take that handkerchief away. It was on the table. So he he, um, he put it in her purse when she wasn't looking, and she put her hand in and she screamed out without even knowing it's been prayed for or anything else like that. The spirits know. And last night, at the end of this meeting, we saw the spirits go out of somebody, and it was tremendous, the change in the person. Now we're up against a lot of things today, but we're here in the power of God, with the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ. And this is not a game for novices. I believe that God has called men for the ministry today against this tremendous, if you like, onslaught of Satan and sickness. Have you ever seen the church so sick? Now come on. I've never seen the church so sick. And one more thing I'll say while I'm just before I start ministering on this. I was in a meeting one night in Chicago, and I called a person forward by the word of knowledge. I said, there's a lady here with a heart condition, and two ladies came forward and I was going to pray for one. I couldn't understand why there were two. And as I went to pray for this one, the Lord revealed to me quite clearly that she did not have a heart condition. I said, excuse me, but you don't have a heart condition. There's nothing wrong with your heart. And I said, I'll go as far as to say the doctor said the same thing. There's nothing organically wrong with you at all. I said, and she said, that's what the doctor said. There's nothing wrong with me whatsoever. I said, what you do have is a spirit, because the doctor would also have told you that all your symptoms are correct. Is that right? Yes. Right. You have is a spirit. Now that's a lying spirit. A spirit that is manifesting itself in your body, producing what you don't have. Now I wonder how many people know of people like that. They send them along to the psychiatrist or the psychologist, trying to find out what is wrong with them and how many people are in this meeting. And I'm going to pray one night and I'll prove to you what I'm saying. And when I prayed and commanded the spirit to leave your body, the sickness that you've got all the symptoms of will leave with it. Now, I told this lady this to prove it to her, because she couldn't believe that she didn't have a heart condition. She had all the symptoms. Perfect symptoms. Absolutely. But she had a heart like an ox. So I prayed for her. As strong as an ox, I mean. Sammy and I prayed for her and the symptoms left to me. I command this spirit to leave and the symptoms left immediately. And I said, the other lady has a heart condition. And she said, yes, the doctors have said so, and I prayed for her. Now you see what I'm trying to say today? We need discernment. We need to understand. Jesus called it a deaf and dumb spirit, a spirit of infirmity in the physical body, a spirit of infirmity. But you have another words. Spirits are here to deceive, to get you to believe a lie. Satan speaks to people today to believe a lie. Now I believe we are here to uncover Satan's work and to deal with evil spirits and the cause, not the symptoms directly. And that's what I'm on about tonight. Now, first of all, I think it was Billy Graham that said, when I became a Christian, God became my father, the Lord Jesus Christ, my elder brother, and the Holy Spirit, my comforter. And the devil is no relation of mine. Now I agree with him, and I want you to turn now to start with one John chapter five. Verse eighteen. Now this is the first time I believe the church has been in a position to come against Satan directly. And I believe that every Christian should know their position. You see, God has given us a position, and when we take it as sons, the devil's going to take his position. Now, Satan does have a position as far as the church is concerned. And where is that position? Right under our feet. That's his position. Under our feet. Under the church's feet. So if you're looking for your enemy, he's under your feet. He's already defeated. Amen. I'm glad you got that point. Now, one John five, verse eighteen. We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not. But he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and the wicked one toucheth him not. Now this is in the scriptures. This statement is a statement of fact. The wicked one can't touch him. God has deliberately put us out of reach of Satan in Christ Jesus. That makes you, according to Romans eight thirty seven, more than conquerors through him that loved you. More than conquerors. When the Lord Jesus Christ then encountered Satan, he won a personal victory over Satan in the wilderness by saying, it is written. And he put Satan in his place. You must put him in his place. If he attacks you, approaches you, questions you, or says anything, you put him in his place. Now, in this new life that God has given us in Christ Jesus, there is no place for the devil. So the Bible says, give no place to the devil. Don't give him a place. God has not made a place for the devil in your life. He's out. He's antics and all the things that he devises against you will cause you to come deeper into the life of Christ, not into Satan's life. Out of reach of him. Every blow that he deals with you knocks you further away from him, not towards him. God has given us such a life. That we are overcomers more than conquerors. The Lord Jesus Christ was the perfect example, and the first person he dealt with at the beginning of his ministry was Satan. And in Luke chapter four and also Matthew chapter four, you read the story. A very interesting account. And how did Jesus Christ come out of that encounter with Satan? Forty days and forty nights in the wilderness was no joke. He came out filled with the Holy Ghost. We come out of every fight filled with the power of God that delivered us from the enemy. We are here not to be overcome. We're here to overcome. Now you notice that when Jesus said in John chapter ten, verse ten, if you turn with me, please. He said some remarkable things. He told us just what Satan was like when the woman was bound eighteen years. Child of Abraham, he said, ought not this child of Abraham be loosed whom Satan had bound? Now what Satan doing, if the Lord Jesus Christ was going about doing good and healing all those that were oppressed of Satan, well, what was Satan doing? He was going around robbing people of everything that they'd got of their mental health by possession, possessing them. He was robbing them of their physical health, of everything that God had given them. He was there to rob. But Jesus was not there to rob, but to restore. And this is a time of restoration, believe you me. Here we have it now in John ten ten, a verse that's familiar to all of you. The thief that's the devil cometh not. But for to steal and to kill, and to destroy. I am come that they might have life, and that more abundantly. Isn't that wonderful? I have come that they might have life, and that more abundantly. So the first thing that Satan's got to do, if God has given you a word or a blessing, is to get it off you. Now he has many ways of doing that. Paul said, we are not ignorant of his devices. Mm. The God of this world has blinded the minds of the world. He is active everywhere. The worst thing he ever planned against Jesus Christ was his crucifixion. He planned it. And what happened out of it? God brought forth our salvation. So that's what God thinks of the devil's best plan. Thank you. So I have no respect for the devil because of that. I've seen what he's done and all the rest. But I've seen the deliverance of God, and I praise God. One woman who was possessed off and on for fifty years in and out of a mental home, and I saw this woman completely delivered and set free from satanic power. Folks, we are here. I believe, in the last days, and in this in the last days, is the days, days of God's power. And we are going to be willing in the day of his power. This is the day of God's power and the Lord Jesus Christ, the son of the living God, said, if I, by the Spirit of God cast out devils, now is the kingdom of God come nigh unto you. Now tell me, what gospel has signs falling like that? The gospel of the kingdom? What gospel is going to be preached to the ends of the earth before Jesus comes? What gospel? Not the gospel, not the gospel, but the full gospel. The gospel of the Kingdom are we is with signs. Following these signs will be following. They'll be casting out devils. Jesus said, if I, by the Spirit of God cast out devils, now is the kingdom of God come nigh unto you. And I believe today that the gospel of the kingdom, that's the complete deliverance from satanic power. Complete deliverance from sin that we might live a godly, holy life. What does Romans six fourteen tell us? That sin shall have no more dominion over you. He that is born of God sin it not. Why? Because God has given us a new we. God has created us a new creature, a creature that doesn't sin. The old man does, but the new man doesn't. He that is born of God sinneth not. Isn't that tremendous? What a thought. Just think of it. Put on the new man in Ephesians four twenty three, who was created after God in true holiness and righteousness. Put on the new man who is created after God, and true righteousness and holiness. Put on the new man. Put him on. Hallelujah. And when you put him on, there is no property that's available to Satan. And when Satan has no place to park. Then he has a problem, not you. He found nothing in the Lord Jesus Christ. He came to him and he found nothing in him. There was nothing of himself in the Lord Jesus Christ. And I believe that's the life that God has given us, the life of Christ. Jesus said, I've come that you might have life. He's come to steal, to rob, and everything else. But I've come to set you free. And he just ignored the devil. There was no person who was too far gone that he couldn't reach. There was no person who was too sick that he couldn't heal. And my Jesus, he's the same yesterday and today and forever. According to Hebrews thirteen eight, he is the same and he hasn't changed right? Then if this same person that is going around healing the sick, sending, setting people free from from from Satan's power, if this same person was here tonight, wouldn't it be wonderful? Yes, he's here tonight. I've got some good news for you. He's in every meeting we have for he told me a long time ago. Without me, you can do nothing. Hallelujah. That means that with him, we can do everything. We can do all things in Philippians four verse thirteen, through Christ which strengthen us. Now the same Jesus who walked the shores of Galilee, who healed the sick, who raised the dead, is not alone here tonight, folks, but he's taken one more step. He is in us when we receive him as our own personal Savior. Just think. And what does the Bible say then? Greater is he in one John four four that is in you than he that is in the world. Who cares about what Satan can do? It's what God can do today. Hallelujah! I'm more concerned in the positive than in the negative. A negative is only a stepping stone to the positive and negative. Hallelujah allows you to have a positive so you can have a charge. Amen. Little about electricity. Most of you know. Hallelujah. So isn't it wonderful? You take your negatives now and it allows you to prove God's positive. All of us are so frightened of our negatives. We're frightened of the thing that is against us. God says, prove me now. Prove me now, and see if I will not pour out a blessing. Prove me now. Call upon the name of the Lord in your trouble. The Lord is a very present help in a time of trouble. This is the day to prove God like we've never proved him before. It's wonderful to see things obey the name of Jesus, isn't it? That's really wonderful. When you feel the power and the authority in that name, when you use the name of Jesus. And it's lovely to see the Lord Jesus Christ acting so naturally as he said, peace be still to the winds and waves. And he got on the ass's colt, which would have booked you and me off, takes quite a long time to break him in, by the way, but everything served him who created all things for himself. All things were made by him, for him. And that same person, that creator, is in each one of us. We are a new creature, a new creation in Christ Jesus. It's thrilling. Oh, Amen. You don't realize the terrific Gulf. Gulf between you and Satan. Now there's a bloodline that he can't cross when you have faith in the blood of Jesus Christ. There is a word line that he cannot cross when you have faith in the Word of God. Young men, you are strong because the Word of God abided in you and you have overcome the wicked one. The word has overcome him, as we heard last night in one John two verse fourteen. Now we've got him. We have, in other words, a separation. When we come to Christ, we are separated from the world, separated from Satan. It's a separated. That's what sanctification means separated, separated unto God, put aside for God's use. And here we are now separated. And when you think of it, he cannot step over the line. Folks, there are a lot of Christians who are dominated by evil spirits. A lot of Christians who are dominated by sickness and also depressions and many other things. This is not the day to be dominated by anything. This is the day when we rise up as the children of God, the sons of God, with power and authority, and we give the devil a hard time. Instead of him giving us a hard time, we are not here to be dictated to by Satan because we don't belong to him. We've been bought with a price. Hallelujah! My God owns me. He's bought me with a price. He says, therefore glorify me in your body and your spirit which is not yours. You're bought with a price. Hallelujah. Then I am private property and put up your notice straight away. Private property. Satan. No parking. That's the final word to him. And when Satan attacks you, tries to rob you of anything. Remember what he's telling you. He only robs people of what they've got. Everything down. You must have something worth robbing. When he attacks you, you can guarantee you're in the right place. Mm mm. When he tells you that you can't, you can guarantee that you can take the opposite to what he says. And you'll be free for the rest of your life. He's a liar. He doesn't know how to tell the truth. He's a liar from the beginning. He lies. And so he has no power against the church. The church has power against him. No power against the church. Only the power to deceive. And all of God's children today have been set free nineteen hundred years ago. My God is an extremist. When? When Calvary Calvary's work was finished. Jesus said, it is finished. I'm sorry. God has done everything nineteen hundred years ago on Calvary for you and me. He has undone the work of Satan. Folks, do you realize that we are absolutely free? Whom the son sets free is free indeed. Do you realize that Jesus has made us free and he's given us the truth to keep us free? The children of God today are absolutely free. The whole of nature is groaning Travailing waiting for us to take our rightful places. Angels are ready to go into action when the heirs of salvation are really the heirs of salvation. They're ministering spirits unto the heirs of salvation. The angels have been seen today. Angels have been seen today. I talked with a man, a dear friend of mine, and the Godliest Christian I've met being godly all his life. I'm a little boy. When an angel lifted him over a stile, he couldn't get over this gate. And he prayed and he said, Lord, send an angel. And an angel appeared. Lifted him up and put him on the other side. I'll tell you something. He's one of the Godliest men I've ever met. You can tell he's had a visitation from God. Other people have had an angel in their car, and they've been talking to him and everything else. And he just talked about the Lord. And then when they've looked around, he's gone. Two people sitting in the front. Only two doors. The only way out was supernatural. We've had visitations. Folks with many of us have entertained angels unaware. There's one person when he knocks at the door. Send Jesus to answer it. That's Satan. When he knocks at the door of your heart, your head, wherever you are. Send Jesus to answer it. He will settle his little lot. I can assure you. In other words, what does the Lord say now? Because we have we have we have no relationship with Satan. And I want you to know this. If God is our father, Satan no longer is any relation of ours. Will you please remember that? So now everything that comes to you doesn't come by Satan, it comes by God. And if Satan then comes in in any place God has allowed, God has got to make Satan. Supply your need or make him produce the right thing when you turn to God. So that means it's got to work together for your good. It's incredible, but it's true. So whether Satan likes it or not, he's got to be a servant. And he's a servant only to the sons of God. He is not. He has lost his power towards us. And the Lord Jesus Christ said, I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Folks, we are the church today and I'm hoping to be speaking at this conference on the church. I think I feel that God has I've been holding back for quite a long while, something that God has shown me, and I believe God wants me to share well with those people that are coming to this Easter conference, a convention, whichever you like about the church today, this is the Lord's, I would say the Lord's baby, it's the church is just a baby at the moment. It's going to grow up to be a beautiful bride without spot and without wrinkle. When the Lord Jesus Christ comes, there won't be one sick amongst us, will without spot, without wrinkle. And I am foolish enough to believe. Amen. I believe that we will have. We will have revealed to the world what Calvary has accomplished. I believe also that all. Would you turn with me quickly? Um. I don't want to spend too long tonight. Um. One Corinthians chapter fifteen. Verse twenty four. Now a lot of people must realize that Satan is quickly counterfeiting everything that God is doing. There has been a revival of healing because of the escalations of the Holy Spirit throughout the whole church. Now, a revival of healing means what? That Satan now must quickly move in. Now you'll get faith healers. Faith healers. You'll get what they call spiritual healers and all the rest. That's spiritists some mediums who have a doctor. They say a doctor's spirit has entered them. Great famous doctor, and they're able to cure. In other places in the Philippines, I should say, you have all sorts of different type types of healers, and Satan Will give the world what it's looking for, if you can remember that. And if they're looking for healing without God, he will make sure that they get entertained some way or the other. But they don't get God. They don't get brought to the Lord Jesus Christ. Now there's a counterfeit going around, and anybody who has been to a spiritus, I go and see your minister. If he's filled with the Holy Spirit and get him to pray for you, you'll need deliverance from the effect. Believe it or not, it's an abomination in the eyes of the Lord. But a spirit from the spirit is meeting can follow your whole family. Also, if you're being cursed from your past in any way, you need to be cut off from that curse. It can also affect your family. There are a lot of things today that are really active all over the world, and I'm not frightened by things, and I don't say things lightly unless I've seen the devastation that these things have caused. I remember one family cursed everything they did, either. The house burned down when the everything they did, their business collapsed and everything just collapsed. There was a curse on that family. We went back and we found out. Sure enough, a gypsy fortune teller had been, um, sought by this girl that was jilted. And, um, she had got that gypsy to curse that family. And that curse followed until the Lord stepped in. Now, I believe in the last days, only those filled with the Holy Ghost will be able to minister to people that have been affected by these things, because you need discernment and you need power and authority. We're living in a day, folks, when we're no longer fighting against flesh and blood, but against wicked spirits in high places. We're living in a day when our children are being tormented and shot at and everything else. We're living in a day when we need to take a stand as a Christian and get some power and authority in our ministry, and that's home ministry as well. Parents, we need to come against Satan in every form and deal with him directly. I believe Christ can reign through the church no matter where the church is on this earth. He is reigning at the moment, and the victory that Calvary has given to us must be experienced by us, and we must bring it out. We must bring out the positions of sons so that we stand before this whole world, free from what Satan has put on, singled out by the blessing of God, by the holiness, the righteousness of Jesus Christ, and having an answer to today's problems. God is right up to date. Jesus Christ is the answer, the only answer. And there isn't another answer. It's a whole spiritual life that makes you whole. And I believe it now. We are living near the end time. We're living in the days when things are coming to a conclusion. I want you to note these few verses one Corinthians chapter fifteen. Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the father, when he shall have put down all rule and authority and power. For he must reign till he has put all enemies under his feet. Ah, we are the body of Christ, and we are, if you like the feet. Now, if you look quickly, I'll get a confirmation on that for you in Ephesians chapter one. I believe it is, unless they moved it. Are you all ready? I just read verse twenty one, far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named not only in this world, but also that in which, sorry, reading it before I finish, but also in that which is to come, and hath put all things under his feet, right, and given him to be head over all things. To what? To the church. Given him to be head over all things to the church. Right. What is the church, then? Which is his body? The fullness of him that filleth all. In all. In all. You've got it now he must reign until this comes to pass. Now I believe today, then, that the Lord Jesus Christ is reigning. His victory that he has accomplished for us is now being seen as we come against the powers of Satan, against sickness, against depressions. I'm against everything that is negative. I don't preach a negative gospel. I preach a positive gospel. Praise God! I've got something to preach for, not against in that sense. When the Lord Jesus Christ came, he put Satan in his place when he died on Calvary. He won a victory for you and me over Satan. Folks, you have got the victory. He's made us to triumph in Christ. You're not going to get the victory. You've got the victory. You don't go out for it. You go out in it. If you've got the victory, you've got the victory. Amen. That's some good theology. That's Irish, but it's good if you've got the victory. Victor, you've got the victory. Now, this is the most important thing. If you believe what God says, you are in Christ. And the Bible says you're complete in him. In Colossians two ten, if you believe it, you are free from everything that Satan would put upon you and come against you with. You are free in Christ Jesus, you are free. If that's true, folks, it means that the whole body of Christ is free. But when will they believe it? They'll believe it when they're free. Well, they won't have to believe it. Then they'll know. That's just it. We can't change over and say what God says we are. It's so difficult for most of us because we're all waiting to get the victory before. Before we believe we've got it. We're all waiting to get healed before we believe we're healed. And so it is. Only now and then some people come through. Tonight I'm going to be coming against, in the name of Jesus athletic spirit. I'm going to come against them in the name of Jesus. And I believe that he has given us power and authority. And when I command those spirits to come out of the people that come forward, they will come out. I want you to let them go. Just when I command the thing to go, let it go. Thank the Lord for healing you. And you should find. Your lungs are clear. Clear. I have prayed for so many people who've been healed of asthma. And then I'll let you know what I'll be praying for tomorrow night. I'm going to try and get through as many major diseases as possible. And I'll also be using the word of knowledge. I'm not closing that up in case God wants me to pray for anybody separately. Now, in a few moments, I'm going to begin praying. I want to give as much time to prayer tonight as possible. I just want to recap for a few seconds. When you become a Christian, you're cut off from Satan by the life of Christ that has overcome him. The salvation that Christ brought forth on the cross has overcome for you in every single area that you could be exposed to. That salvation is complete. And when you come into the full revelation of it, you are free from Satan. And once you're free from Satan, you can reach out and free others. Jesus did not anticipate Satan stopping us doing anything when they persecuted the church. They came forth Fourth even stronger. You can do nothing against the truth. But for it Paul says in two Corinthians thirteen eight, so my concern in the last day is that we take authority and we take power over the enemy. We are no relation of Satan whatsoever, and God has given us the victory over him. This victory is ours by right. Hallelujah. We are unfortunate in one sense with the disciples. They never learned how to be defeated. They were with Jesus. You see. He never taught them how to make mistakes. He didn't teach them how to fail. Isn't that. Is that. Huh? So when he sent them out, they came back with one hundred percent result. We have learned how to fail from the very beginning. Learned how to make mistakes and done everything else like that. So many of us have been discouraged at the beginning, but I want to encourage you. We're going on to perfection. God has only got perfection in mind for all of us. Hallelujah! Amen. Amen. And on the road, we're going to experience some wonderful things. Now I'm going to pray in a few minutes. And I believe that, my God, tonight is going to answer my prayer. Let us pray. There are a lot of things that I can say. But I feel a little action is more important tonight. Thank you. Jesus. And the first thing I want to pray for tonight is for every individual who hasn't done anything about their souls personally. Nobody can do it for you. The Lord Jesus Christ came to save us, save us and deliver us. And if tonight you would like to give your life to him. Not alone will he forgive your sin and cleanse you. But he'll come into that life and live his life in you and through you. And I'm going to ask those in a few moments who want to receive Christ into their lives tonight and want to begin with him. I'm going to ask him to stand. A decision is absolutely necessary. You should know if you've made a decision or not. You were there when it was made. You might not know when, but there's only one place you can start with and that's at the cross. God has no other starting point. Now we're living in a very wicked world. And only God can keep you from this wickedness. Fear not, little flock. I have overcome the world. Isn't he wonderful? He's overcome. Now, if your life is run by Satan, if he's dragging you down. Then why not give it over to God tonight by this decision saying, Lord, I personally ask you to come into my life and forgive my sin and cleanse me and give me this new life within. If that is your heart's desire right now and you're fed up doing your own thing, going your own way. And you want to make this decision. I ask you to stand right now where you are. It will take courage to stand. But once you stand, you're free. Then you're standing tonight for Jesus. You're leaving Satan behind, and you're leaving a lot of other things behind. Tonight you come into a new life. It's not a just a new leaf in a book. A lot of people turn over a new leaf to find they're still in the same old book. This is a new life. There's one, two, three, four people standing. Five. Thank you Lord. Six. To be a big decision for some, some older folks who've been maybe relying on the church to do it for, you know, I'm afraid they can't. They can help you to enjoy this life. But you must make the decision. And unless tonight you receive Christ personally, you haven't got him living in your heart. A lot of people believe, but believing is not enough. You must receive personally into your life Christ and what he's done on the cross for you. Now we have two, four, six, eight, ten people standing. And I believe you've been brought to this meeting, maybe for many reasons you thought, but this is the main reason that tonight that your life will have a purpose, God's purpose in it. We've got a God who can only have the best plans. Do you realize that you could not plan if you had all the world available? You couldn't plan better for yourself than my God. Isn't he wonderful? He's wonderful. It's good to see people standing together. Now I'm going to pray for those that are standing. And yet I feel there are quite a few more. I'm going to ask the Lord how many more? If there are another seven people. Should be. Thank you Lord. Holy spirit is working in this meeting in a wonderful way. People are sick to death or being sick to death in this meeting. Look, if if Satan is dragging your life down, ruining it and everything else, you should be on your feet tonight. If you're overcome with filthy habits and filthy thoughts and just plain lost. You should be on your feet tonight. There's only one person that can deliver you from that. God never intended that. We should live it. Live? Live at the at the gutter level. God intends that we should live in heavenly places. You have no peace of mind tonight. You should be on your feet. I'm going to pray for those that are standing. I want everyone in this meeting to close their eyes. Please, just for a moment. You are now. You are now coming to the Lord. You're coming to him personally. If this is between you and the Lord, there is one person in this meeting. I want you to be on your feet as well. Listen carefully to it. You have stolen something from your family. And you have said that it's lost. You've taken something. Taken something and you've said that it's lost. It's not lost. It's in your possession. Something. That person. Please stand. This is going to remain on your conscience. And that's why God has revealed it. Tonight, I'm going to pray for the person as somebody who has deliberately taken something from his family and told them it's lost. It's not. It's in your possession. I'm going to ask once more because it's important tonight. Will that person please just put their hand up so I can? Would you put your hand up, please? Put it up so I can see it. Thank you for that question. Now, this is a thus saith the Lord tonight. You know that it's you. So I'm not going to ask again. But that person is in the meeting tonight. God wants you to give it back. It's in your home. Fight going on in the person. I need to pray for those that are standing. And if you stand tonight, you'll be free. And be glad and rejoice. Dear father, we are very conscious of the presence of the Holy Spirit. We're very conscious tonight, Lord, that you've reached out for people here to bring them to yourself. And now for everyone that is standing right now. May the power of your spirit come upon them and reveal, Lord, that terrible price that Jesus had to pay so that they might go free. I ask you right now, Lord, as they come to you for forgiveness, to cleanse them, and to wash them clean, Lord, and forgive them from all their sins. Thank you Lord, for doing it in Jesus precious name. May you thank him for forgiving you in your heart. Just thank him. Thank you Jesus. Now ask the Lord Jesus Christ. Now come into your life, into your heart. The Bible says that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith. Just thank him right now for coming in. Ask him now to control and run your life from this day. To live his life in you and through you. Thank him now. And now, Lord, I turn them over to you. Believing right now that they are forgiven and cleansed. And now, Lord, may they come into a direct spiritual relationship with you that is so vital in the desire to be filled with the Holy Spirit, and to go on deeper in this relationship from this moment. We ask you, for Christ's sake. Amen. Thank you Lord. You may be seated.
