Description
THE DOMINANT CHRISTIAN DOCTRINE OF THE PILGRIMS AND PURITANS IN THE 1600s, AND JONATHAN EDWARDS AND GEORGE WHITEFIELD IN THE 1700s, WAS THAT FREEWILL IN SALVATION IS A FICTION. GEORGE WHITEFIELD PREACHED OVER 18,000 SERMONS IN THE FIELDS MOST OF THE TIME, TO 2 1/2 MILLION COLONISTS, WITH CROWDS OF OVER 20,000, SOMETIMES, AND THERE WAS A GREAT RELIGIOUS AWAKING THAT OUR FOUNDING FATHERS MOSTLY EXPERIENCED AS CHILDREN AND YOUNG ADULTS, WHICH WAS THE UNDERPINNING OF OUR MIRACULOUS CONSTITUTION. GEORGE WHITEFIELD WAS THE EVANGELIST AND JONATHON EDWARDS WAS THE INFLUENTIAL PASTOR OF THE AWAKENING.

THIS SERMON BY GEORGE WHITEFIELD IS GROUND ZERO THEOLOGY THAT MUST BE GRIEVED OVER: THESE 5 AXIOMATIC PRINCIPLES ARE FOUNDATION PRINCIPLES THAT THE REST OF OUR SALVATION IS BUILT UPON. THIS IS A VERY POWERFUL MESSAGE THAT EVERY ONE OF US AMERICANS SHOULD LISTEN TO AGAIN AND AGAIN UNTIL THESE 5 PRINCIPLES ARE FELT IN OUR HEARTS AND ENGRAVED IN OUR MINDS. WITHOUT THESE 5 DEEP RIOTED PRINCIPLES UNDERSTOOD WE CAN WASTE A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF TIME AND EFFORT GOING DOWN DEAD END ROADS IN OUR EFFORT TO AGONIZE TO ENTER IN AT THE STRAIT GATE AND BE SAVED: THIS WILL BE WELL WORTH YOUR TIME AND YOU WILL BE ABLE TO WARD OFF MUCH EASIER, SATAN’S COUNTERFEIT JESUS’.
WE AS AMERICANS BY THE MERCY AND GRACE OF GOD HAVE BUILT AN AMERICA THAT HAS BEEN THE BEACON OF LIGHT FOR FREEDOM AROUND THIS WORLD, BUT WE HAVE FORGOTTEN, THAT APART FROM MORALITY, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS TRUE FREEDOM, AND NOT ONLY THAT, BUT GOD, WHO IS SLOW TO ANGER, WILL JUDGE AMERICA IF WE ARE NOT NATIONALLY LED TO REPENTANCE: LIKE INDIVIDUALS, NATIONS MUST REPENT, IN ORDER TO RECEIVE AGAIN THE BLESSINGS OF GOD: WE NEED TO RAISE UP A NATIONAL LEADER LIKE ABRAHAM LINCOLN WHO PROCLAIMED A NATIONAL DAY OF HUMILIATION, PRAYER, AND FASTING, ON APRIL 30TH, 1863, WHICH TURNED HIS TWO YEARS OF BATTLES LOSSES INTO TWO YEARS OF VICTORY TO EVENTUALLY FREE THE SLAVES. LET US AS AMERICANS PRAY FOR LEADERS ACROSS THIS LAND ESPECIALLY A PRESIDENT FOR 2024 ELECTION, WHO WILL PUT US AGAIN UNDER GOD’S LAWS OF FREEDOM, AND LEAD A WILLING AMERICA TO A NATIONAL DAY OF HUMILIATION, FASTING, AND PRAYER, THAT OUR FAMILIES, EDUCATION SYSTEM, AND POLITICAL INSTITUTIONS WILL AGAIN PUT THEMSELVES UNDER GOD’S LAWS OF FREEDOM & HAPPINE, AS A RESULT HAVE PEACE WITH GOD, AND THE JOY IT WILL BRING. HOW IS IT AS AMERICANS OF 2024 WE HAVE FORGOTTEN THAT OUR CONSTITUTION WAS NEVER WRITTEN FOR AN IMMORAL PEOPLE, AND NOT LOOKED AGAIN TO OUR FOUNDING FATHERS WHO IN UNISON KNEW THE IMPORTANCE OF MORALITY FOR THE SURVIVAL OF OUR COUNTRY. 1 This constitution is written for a religious and moral people. It is wholly inadequate for the government of any other.John Adams. 2. No people will tamely surrender their Liberties, nor can any be easily subdued, when knowledge is diffused and virtue is preserved. On the Contrary, when People are universally ignorant, and debauched in their Manners, they will sink under their own weight without the Aid of foreign Invaders. 3. Religion and morality are the indispensable supports to good government. George Washington. 4. If the people lack the virtue of self government their destiny will be despotism. James Madison
5. Man will either be governed by the Bible or the bayonet. John Adams
6. JAMES MADISON WHO IS SAID TO BE THE FATHER OF OUR CONSTITUTION WROTE THE FOLLOWING ABOUT US AS AMERICANS NECESSITY OF BEING A SELF GOVERNING AND SELF RELIANT PEOPLE. “We have staked the future of our civilization and all our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind for self-government; upon the capacity of each and everyone of us to govern ourselves; to control ourselves; to sustain ourselves according to the 10 Commandments of God"
James Madison
7. DR. JEDIDIAH MORSE:Father of American GeographyTo the kindly influence we owe that degree of civil freedom and political and social happiness which mankind now enjoys. In proportion as the genuine effects of Christianity are diminished in a nation...in the same proportion will thepeople of that nation recedefrom the blessings of genuine freedom...I hold this to be truth confirmed by experience; and it follows that all efforts made todestroy the foundation of our Holy Religion ultimately tend to the subversion also of our political freedom and happiness. Whenever the pillars of Christianity shall be overthrown our present republican forms of government( and all the blessings which flow from them) must fall with them.
—- Jedidiah Morse—-
8. Let [ministers] and philosophers, statesmen, and patriots unite their endeavors to renovate the age by impressing the minds of men with the importance of educating their little boys and girls—inculcating in the minds of the youth—the love of their country; of instructing them in the art of self government — and in short leading them in the study and practice of the exalted virtues of the Christian system.
9. Unless we put medical freedom into the Constitution, the time will come when medicine will organize into an undercover dictatorship to restrict the art of healing to one class of Men and deny equal privileges to others; the Constitution of the Republic should make a Special privilege for medical freedoms as well as religious freedom.
Benjamin Rush
WE HAVE OVER 300,000 CHURCHES IN AMERICA AND PROBABLY OVER 90% OF THEM BELIEVE THE WILL IS FREE IN SALVATION. AS WE WATCH THE CULTURAL ROT CONTINUE TO INCREASE EVERY YEAR WE MUST ASK OURSELVES WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS DOWNWARD SPIRAL IN AMERICA. IN EARLY AMERICA, DURING THE 1600 AND 1700S, THE BONDAGE OF THE WILL DOCTRINE OF SALVATION WAS THE DOMINANT THINKING. THE PILGRIMS AND PURITANS IN THE 1600 ERA AND IN THE 1700 ERA THERE WAS JONATHON EDWARDS, THE PASTOR, IN WHICH THE GREAT RELIGIOUS AWAKENING BEGAN IN HIS CHURCH IN NORTH HAMPTON MASSACHUSETTS IN 1735. GEORGE WHITEFIELD WAS THE EVANGELIST WHO PREACHED OVER 18,000 SERMONS TO THE 2 1/2 MILLION COLONISTS OVER A 30 YEAR PERIOD, MOSTLY IN THE FIELDS, WITH SOMETIMES UP TO 25,OOO IN ATTENDANCE. THIS RELIGIOUS AWAKENING WAS THE UNDERPINNING OF OUR MIRACULOUS AMERICAN CONSTITUTION. GEORGE WHITEFIELDS FACE WAS ALMOST WELL KNOWN AS GEORGE WASHINGTON’S FACE. THOSE OF US WHO KNOW THAT FREEWILL IS A FICTION, MUST TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR LETTING OUR FOOT OF THE ACCELERATOR AND AGAIN RELENTLESSLY PUT OUR FOOT BACK ON THE ACCELERATOR UNTIL THE BONDAGE OF THE WILL DOCTEINE IS AGAIN DOMINANT IN AMERICA. WHEN THE DOCTRINE OF THE TRUE JESUS IS AGAIN DOMINANT THE TRICKLE DOWN EFFECT WILL RESULT AGAIN IN A MORAL AMERICA. 2CHR. 7: [14] If MY PEOPLE, which are called by my name, shall HUMBLE themselves, and PRAY, and SEEK my face, and TURN from their wicked ways; then will I HEAR from heaven, and will FORGIVE their SIN, and will HEAL their LAND.
1. REMEMBERING OUR DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE & OUR PUBLIC DEPENDANCE UPON GOD FOR VICTORY OVER THE MIGHTIEST MILITARY IN THE WORLD, WHICH WAS ENGLAND. 2. WHY WERE WE DECLARING INDEPENDENCE FROM ENGLAND? 3. DID JAMES MADISON, OUR 4TH PRESIDENT, WHO IS CALLED THE FATHER OF OUR CONSTITUTION, BELIEVE WE SHOULD GOVERN OURSELVES AS AMERICANS, ACCORDING TO THE 10 COMMANDMENTS OF GOD. 4. WAS THE BIBLE, PRINTED BY OUR GOVERNMENT, AND DISTRIBUTED TO THE SCHOOLS. 4. DID PRESIDENT JEFFERSON ALLOW CHURCHES TO HOLD SUNDAY SERVICE IN OUR D. C. CAPITOL?
IN A DAY OF EASY BELIEVISM, LIKE IN AMERICA TODAY, IT CAN BE COMPARED TO THE 2008 FINANCIAL CRISIS IN WHICH OUR BANKS, GIVING OUT HOME LOANS TO BUYERS WHO COULD NOT AFFORD THEM, EVENTUALLY LED TO THE COLLAPSE OF BANKS WHEN THE BANKS HAD TO FORECLOSE ON ENOUGH OF THEIR MORTGAGES. LIKEWISE WHEN OUR CHURCHES BECOME SANTA CLAUS, HANDING OUT SALVATION ON A FREEWILL DECISION TO ANY AND ALL, REGARDLESS OF THE AGE, OUR CHURCHES BECOME FILLED WITH COUNTERFEIT CHRISTIANS AND GO ON TO PRODUCE COUNTERFEIT PASTORS TUMBLING OUR AMERICAN CHURCHES INTO SPIRITUAL BANKRUPTCY AND CONSEQUENTLY OUR NATION IS IN A MORAL MELTDOWN. IF WE ASK OUR FASTFOOD FREEWILL FRIENDS AND THEOLOGIANS WHO IS TO BLAME FOR THIS MORAL MELTDOWN IN AMERICA THE MOST COMMON ANSWER THEY GIVE IS, THAT IT IS THE LAST TIMES, WHEN FISHERMAN JOHN WAS TELLING HIS FLOCK THAT THEY WERE IN THE LAST TIMES: 1JOHN 2: [18] Little children, it “IS” the LAST TIME: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby WE KNOW that it “IS” the LAST TIME. THUS GEORGE WASHINGTON, JOHN ADAMS, THOMAS JEFFERSON, JAMES MADISON, GEORGE WHITEFIELD, JONATHON EDWARDS WERE ALL IN THE LAST TIME WHEN THE GREATEST NATION KNOWN TO MANKIND WAS ESTABLISHED IN THE 1700’S AND THE LAST TIMES CERTAINLY DID NOT HINDER THEM. IF WE THINK OF THE SUN AS THE CHURCH AND THE MOON AS AMERICA, THE IMMORAL STATE OF AMERICA IS SIMPLY A REFLECTION OF THE INCREDIBILITY OF THE DOMINANT CHURCHES IN AMERICA, AND WHO MIGHT THAT BE THAT BLANKET AMERICA SPIRITUALLY, BUT THE FASTFOOD FREEWILL THEOLOGIANS, WHEREAS IN THE 1700’S THE BONDAGE OF THE WILL CHURCHES ALONG WITH THE BONDAGE OF THE WILL COLLEGES OF DIVINITY, LIKE HARVARD, YALE, AND PRINCETON, WHERE MANY OF OUR POLITICAL LEADERS WERE SCHOOLED, WERE DOMINANT. IN THIS SERMON BY GEORGE WHITEFIELD, HE SPEAKS TO THE DANGER OF THE FALSE CHURCH UPON A NATION AND GOES ON TO HELP US AS AMERICANS TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT WE ARE A COUNTERFEIT CHRISTIAN OR NOT. GEORGE WHITEFIELD WRITES: As God can send a nation or people no greater blessing than to give them faithful, sincere, and upright ministers, so the greatest curse that God can possibly send upon a people in this world, is to give them over to blind, unregenerate, carnal, lukewarm, and unskilled guides. And yet, in all ages, we find that there have been many wolves in sheep's clothing, many that daubed with untempered mortar, that prophesied smoother things than God did allow. As it was formerly, so it is now; there are many that corrupt the Word of God and deal deceitfully with it. It was so in a special manner in the prophet Jeremiah's time; and he, faithful to his Lord, faithful to that God who employed him, did not fail from time to time to open his mouth against them, and to bear a noble testimony to the honor of that God in whose name he from time to time spake. If you will read this prophecy, you will find that none spake more against such ministers than Jeremiah, and here especially in the chapter out of which the text is taken, he speaks very severely against them — he charges them with several crimes; particularly, he charges them with covetousness: says he in the 13th verse, ‘from the least of them even to the greatest of them, every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even unto the priest, every one dealeth false.’ And then, in the words of the text, in a more special manner, he exemplifies how they had dealt falsely, how they had behaved treacherously to poor souls: says he, ‘They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace, when there is no peace.
THESE MESSAGES, BEING LONG AS THEY ARE, ALLOW US TO HAVE A SPIRITUAL OPTION, TO COUNTER THE ONSLAUGHT OF THE WORLD, AND TO HELP US AS AMERICANS TO MAKE IT OUR LIFE’S MISSION, TO FIRST GET THROUGH THE STRAIT GATE AND THEN THE CELESTIAL GATE, NOT TO ABANDON THE NECESSITIES OF PROVIDING FOR OUR FAMILIES, BUT TO GIVE US CONSTANT FLOW SPIRITUAL FOOD TO OUR MINDS, IN ORDER TO COMBAT THE EVIL PROCLIVITIES OF OUR HEART BEFORE THEY BECOME AN ACT OF SIN, TO SWIM, AS LIVE FISH, UPSTREAM, AGAINST THE CURRENT OF THIS WORLD, AND TO EQUIP US WITH THE HEAD AND HEART-KNOWLEDGE TO TAKEDOWN SATAN’S FASTFOOD FREEWILL THEOLOGIANS AND ALSO TO AWAKEN OUR FASTFOOD FREEWILL FRIENDS. GENERALLY SPEAKING WE MUST BE FED OUR SPIRITUAL FOOD IN LIKENESS TO HOW WE FEED OUR NATURAL MAN BODY. MOST OF US NATURAL MAN AMERICANS EAT 1-3 TIMES PER DAY. WE DON’T USUALLY EAT FOR TWO DAYS AND SKIP A DAY. LIKEWISE THE SPIRITUAL MAN AND ALL OF US NATURAL MAN AMERICANS WHO DESIRE TO BECOME A SPIRITUAL MAN MUST FEED ON THE WORD OF GOD DAILY. WE CAN USE THESE MESSAGES TO LISTEN A 1/2 HOUR TO AN HOUR PER DAY, OR MORE AND ATTEMPT TO BE CONVICTED OF SIN, FOR CONVICTION OF SIN IS THE SIGN THAT GOD IS WORKING IN OUR LIFE. WE SHOULD ASK GOD EACH DAY TO SHOW US ONE MORE EVIL PROCLIVITY THAT WE MIGHT FIRST FORBID AND THEN REPENT OVER THEM AND THUS THWARTING THAT EVIL PROCLIVITY BEFORE IT BECOMES AN ACT OF SIN. IF WE LISTENED TO OUR LAST MESSAGE BY GEORGE WHITEFIELD WE FOUND THAT THE KNOWLEDGE OF JESUS CHRIST IS TRULY THE BEST KNOWLEDGE WE CAN OBTAIN FOR IT WILL GIVE US A FREEDOM BEYOND OUR GREATEST IMAGINATION COULD IMAGINE. WHEN JESUS’ FATHER REVEALS HIS SON TO US IN SUCH A WAY THAT WE HAVE ZERO FINGERPRINTS ON IT, IT WILL NOT BE THE ANEMIC CONVERSION OUR FASTFOOD FREEWILL THEOLOGIANS OFFER US, BUT IT WILL BE THE GREATEST MOMENT OF OUR LIVES, A FOREVER LASTING RADICAL CHANGE IN NATURE.
WHAT IS THE FUNCTION OF THE COMMANDS OF GOD BEFORE AND AFTER WE ARE SAVED? IF WE HAVE A MISUNDERSTANDING OF THE FUNCTION OF THE COMMANDS OF GOD IT WILL ALTER OUR DEFINITION OF SAVED BY FAITH. DOES GOD ACCEPT PARTIAL CREDIT, AND IF NOT, WHY NOT?
OUR FREEWILL FRIENDS IN AMERICA TELL US WE MUST HAVE FAITH IN JESUS TO BE SAVED: THIS IS THE SHOT GUN APPROACH TO BEING SAVED AND SATAN PUSHES THE SNOOZE BUTTON!
WE MUST DEFINE WITH SNIPER ACCURACY, THE DEFINING OF SALVATION BY FAITH AS THE THEOLOGIANS DID IN EARLY AMERICA, LIKE GEORGE WHITEFIELD, WHO PREACHED OVER 18,000 SERMONS TO THE 2 1/2 MILLION COLONISTS JUST PRECEDING THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION. THERE WAS A GREAT RELIGIOUS AWAKENING WHEN GEORGE WASHINGTON, JOHN ADAMS, THOMAS JEFFERSON, JAMES MADISON, ETC. WERE JUST KIDS. THIS GREAT RELIGIOUS AWAKENING WAS THE UNDERPINNING OF THE MIRACULOUS AND GREATEST CONSTITUTION KNOWN TO MANKIND.
MANY OF US WHO HAVE ATTENDED CHURCH GROWING UP HAVE HEARD JOHN THE BAPTIST SAY, IN REFERENCE TO JESUS, BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD. THOSE OF US THAT KNOW OUR BIBLES KNOW THAT JESUS, BEING CALLED THE LAMB OF GOD, IS THE SAME AS SAYING THAT, JESUS “IS” THE PASSOVER LAMB THAT THE JEWS HAD BEEN WAITING FOR, TO ARRIVE, FOR 1500 OR SO YEARS. SO WE AS JOHN Q. PUBLIC OF AMERICA SAY TO OURSELVES, WHAT IS THE PASSOVER OR THE FEAST OF THE PASSOVER? WAS JESUS CRUCIFIED ON THE PASSOVER, MEANING THAT GOOD FRIDAY COINCIDES WITH THE PASSOVER? IN ABOUT 1500 B. C. GOD TOLD MOSES TO GO BACK TO EQYPT, WHICH HE FLED FROM, BACK TO SPEAK TO THE PHARAOH, POSSIBLY SAME PHARAOH, IN WHOSE HOME HE GREW UP IN, WHOSE DAUGHTER RESCUED MOSES FROM A BABY ARK, HIS PARENTS PUT HIM, SO THAT HE WOULDN’T BE KILLED BY THE PHARAOH WHO ORDERED ALL BABY JEWISH BOYS TO BE KILLED BECAUSE THE JEWS WERE INCREASING IN POPULATION, TOO RAPIDLY, AND HE THOUGHT THEY WERE BECOMING A THREAT TO HIS PEOPLE. EVEN IT WASN’T THE SAME PHARAOH MOSES GREW UP UNDER, IT STILL, IS A POWER PLAY BY GOD ON THE POWERFUL PHARAOHS. GOD COMMANDED MOSES, THE BABY, WHO SURVIVED THE BABY SLAUGHTER, AFTER BEING GONE FOR 40 YEARS, TO GO BACK, TO THE PHARAOH AND DEMAND HE LET HIS PEOPLE, SLAVES OF THE PHARAOH, GO, BUT THE PHARAOH REFUSED AND SO GOD PUT 9 PLAGUES UPON THE EGYPTIANS, BUT THE PHARAOH DID NOT LET THEM GO. SO GOD PUT A 10TH PLAGUE ON THE EGYPTIANS, THAT IS KILL ALL THE FIRST BORN SONS, AS A REMINDER OF THE KILLING OF BABY JEWISH BOYS, WHICH MOSES SURVIVED. GOD THEN INSTRUCTED MOSES TO TELL HIS PEOPLE, THAT EACH FAMILY WAS TO SACRIFICE A LAMB ON THE 14TH OF THE MONTH OF NISAN, AND PUT THE BLOOD OF THAT LAMB ON THE DOORPOSTS OF THEIR HOME, AND IF THEY DID THAT, THE LORD WOULD “PASSOVER” THEIR HOME AND NOT LET DESTROYER KILL THEIR FIRSTBORN. Exodus 12:
[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
[2] This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.
[3] Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house:
[4] And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb.
[5] Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats:
[6] And ye shall keep it up until the 14th day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening.
[7] And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it. them, Draw out and take you a lamb according to your families, and kill the passover.
[22] And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the bason, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the bason; and none of you shall go out at the door of his house until the morning.
[23] For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you.
[26] And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean ye by this service?
[27] That ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of the LORD's passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped. 1500 YEARS LATER, JESUS, THE PASSOVER LAMB, ON FRIDAY THE 14TH OF NISAN, GOOD FRIDAY, WOULD BE ROASTED IN THE WRATH OF HIS FATHER ON THE CROSS FOR THE ELECT, TO SET THEM FREE FROM THE CURSE OF THEIR ORIGINAL SIN WITH FAITH IN CHRIST’S FULFILLMENT OF THE LAW FOR THEM.
IN THIS MESSAGE WE WILL FIND OUT ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS LIKE: 1. DID OUR FOUNDING FATHERS BELIEVE IN THE SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE IN OUR SCHOOLS AND POLITICAL INSTITUTIONS? 2. DID OUR FOUNDING FATHERS DESIRE TO HAVE THE BIBLE IN THEIR PUBLIC SCHOOLS. 3. CAN TYRANTS FIND TRACTION IN A COUNTRY FREE OF VICE AND WITH THEIR CHILDREN SCHOOLED IN THE PRINCIPLES OF FREEDOM AS OPPOSED TO THE NEEDS OF TYRANTS? 4. WHO IS TO BLAME FOR THE MORAL MELTDOWN IN AMERICA? 5. DO AMERICAS ENEMIES ENGAGE IN PROMOTING PROMISCUITY IN AMERICA? 6. WHAT ARE THE 45 GOALS OF THE COMMUNISTS TO OVERTHROW AMERICA? 7. IF FLOURISHING VICTIMHOOD IS ESSENTIAL IN AMERICA IN ORDER FOR TYRANTS TO FIND TRACTION IN AMERICA, WHAT IS THE ANTIDOTE TO VICTIMHOOD? WHO HAS TO AGAIN HAS TO PUT ITS FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR TO SAVE AMERICA? THESE AND MANY OTHER QUESTIONS WILL BE ANSWERED IN THIS MESSAGE.
AS WE HAVE MENTIONED MANY TIMES, SATAN IS THE ULTIMATE COUNTERFEITER. THE REFORMATION CENTERED ITSELF AROUND THE FACT THAT TRUE CHRISTIANITY WAS AN INWARD REALITY FOR JESUS HIMSELF SAID: DR. LUKE 17: [21] BEHOLD, the KINGDOM of GOD “IS” WITHIN YOU. FORMER MR. MORALITY, ONE THE MOST ZEALOUS FASTFOOD FREEWILL THEOLOGIANS BEFORE HIS CONVERSION, AFTER HE WAS CREATED A NEW CREATION, CONFIRMS THIS IN A LETTER TO HIS BRETHREN WHEREIN HE WRITES: GAL. 2: [20] I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but CHRIST LIVETH IN ME: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the FAITH of the Son of God, who LOVED ME(ONE OF THE WORST PERSECUTORS OF THE CHURCH BEFORE I “WAS MADE” A NEW CREATION) and gave himself for me. I FORMER MR. MORALITY, AS A ZEALOUS PHARISEE HATED JESUS CHRIST WHEN HE WAS HERE ON EARTH, FOR HIS POPULARITY, AND HIS WORDS WERE RUFFLING MY SECURITY BLANKET. HE TOLD ONE OF MY COLLEAGUES, NICODEMUS ABOUT THIS INNER RELIGION WHEN HE SAID THIS TO HIM: JN. 3: John.[31] There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
[3] Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, EXCEPT a MAN be BORN again, he CANNOT SEE the KINGDOM of GOD.
[4] Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be BORN when he is OLD? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? SO THE REFORMATION WHICH WAS IGNITED BY MARTIN LUTHER IN 1517 AND SPREAD THROUGH EUROPE, CULMINATED IN THE PILGRIMS COMING TO AMERICA IN 1620, THE PURITANS IN 1630, HARVARD ESTABLISHED IN 1636; YALE 1701; COLLEGE OF NEW JERSEY(WHICH EVENTUALLY BECAME PRINCETON) IN 1746; THE GREAT SPIRITUAL AWAKENING IGNITED IN JONATHON EDWARDS CHURCH IN 1734, AND FURTHERED BY THE GREATEST EVANGELIST IN AMERICAN HISTORY, GEORGE WHITEFIELD, WHO PREACHED OVER 18,000 SERMONS MOSTLY IN THE FIELDS FROM 1740-1770; THE GREAT TREATISE ON ORIGINAL SIN IN 1758 by JONATHON EDWARDS. THE CENTRAL THEME OF ALL THESE THEOLOGIANS, GROUPS AND INSTITUTIONS WAS THAT RELIGION WAS AN INNER EXPERIENCE NOT JUST AN OUTER PERFORMANCE. IT WAS THE INNER EXPERIENCE(THE NEW CREATION) THAT DROVE THE OUTER EXPERIENCE VIA FAITH THROUGH THE EXPERIENTIAL LOVE OF THE SAVIOUR. JESUS TOLD MY COLLEAGUE NICODEMUS THAT HE HAD TO BECOME BORN AGAIN IN ORDER TO SEE THE KINGDOM OF GOD, THAT IS, TO SEE THE SPIRITUAL JESUS THAT WAS STANDING RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM FOR JESUS WAS THE EMBODIMENT OF THE SPIRITUAL KINGDOM OF GOD. BUT WHEN JESUS SAID “BORN” AGAIN WHAT DID MY COLLEAGUE THINK, THAT IS RIGHT, HE THOUGHT OF HIS NATURAL BIRTH, FOR ISN’T THAT WHAT ALL OF YOU THINK OF WHEN YOU HEAR THE WORD BORN, YOU THINK OF YOUR NATURAL BIRTH OR THE BIRTH OF SOME CREATURE: AND HOW MUCH FINGERPRINTS OF COOPERATION DID YOU HAVE ON YOUR NATURAL BIRTH? DID GOD GIVE YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE HIM A THUMBS UP OR DOWN:YOUR RACE; THE COUNTRY YOU WOULD BE BORN INTO; THE FINANCIAL STATUS OF YOUR PARENTS; DRUG INFESTED PARENTS OR MORAL PARENTS; ETC.? NO SIR YOU JUST SHOWED UP HERE ON EARTH. SO MY COLLEAGUE NICODEMUS WAS AT LEAST PRACTICAL AND NOT DECEITFUL FOR HE KNEW IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO MAKE HIMSELF BORN: “can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born.” BUT I FORMER MR. MORALITY, NOW THAT I AM BORN AGAIN, KNOW HOW SPIRITUALLY DUMB I WAS AS A FASTFOOD FREEWILL THEOLOGIAN, FOR I NOW REALIZE HOW DECEITFUL SATAN IS AND I WROTE ABOUT THIS TO MY BRETHREN IN CORINTH: 2COR. 11: [14] for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. THERE IS NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT I HAD NO FINGERPRINTS OF COOPERATION ON BEING BORN AGAIN. BUT SATAN DUMBS DOWN THE NEW CREATION BY PUTTING FINGERPRINTS OF COOPERATION ON THE NEW CREATION SO YOU NATURAL MAN AMERICANS CAN CONTROL YOUR SPIRITUAL BIRTH WHICH IS NONSENSE. CHARLES FINNEY IN 1830 IGNITED A FASTFOOD FREEWILL SPIRITUAL AWAKENING AND BILLY GRAHAM WAS MENTORED BY HIS WRITINGS. IN THIS MESSAGE THESE MEN WILL BE JUXTAPOSED TO WHITEFIELD AND EDWARDS. CAUT. THIS MESSAGE MAY RUFFLE YOUR FEATHERS!
AS WE HAVE MENTIONED MANY TIMES A DOG AND A CAT BOTH HAVE EYES, EARS, BOTH CAN SMELL, BOTH HAVE FUR AND PAWS, BUT A DOG BARKS AND A CAT MEOWS: A DOG AND A CAT HAVE SOME SIMILARITIES, BUT ARE TWO TOTALLY DIFFERENT CREATURES. WE CANNOT TAKE A DOG AND TWEAK IT TO MEOW: IT AIN’T GOING TO HAPPEN. DID THE DOG OR CAT HAVE ANY INPUT BEFORE GOD CREATED IT; DID GOD ASK THE DOG, WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE: MAN’S BEST FRIEND OR MAN’S SECOND BEST FRIEND. BOTH THE DOG AND THE CAT JUST SHOWED UP HERE IN THIS WORLD JUST LIKE WE AMERICANS DID. THE NEW SPIRITUAL CREATION IS THE SAME, IT JUST SHOWS UP IN THIS WORLD WITH NO FINGERPRINTS OF COOPERATION, JUST LIKE WE NATURAL MAN AMERICANS DID. WE NATURAL MAN AMERICANS BEGET NATURAL MEN, WE CANNOT BEGET SPIRITUAL NEW CREATIONS, ONLY THE SPIRIT CAN BEGET SPIRITUAL NEW CREATIONS ON AN UNKOWN, DAY, TIME AND PLACE. IN AMERICA TODAY THE NEW CREATION HAS BEEN DUMBED DOWN BY OUR FAST FOOD FREEWILL THEOLOGIANS AND OUR FASTFOOD FREEWILL FRIENDS TO BE NOTHING MORE THAN A TWEAKED NATURAL MAN WITH A DOUBLE SET OF FIG LEAVES OF MORALITY. THE NEW CREATION CAN GIVE US 100% DELIVERANCE FROM ANY ADDICTION BY NATURE FOR THE NEW CREATION IS NOT LIKE A DOG FUTILELY ATTEMPTING TO MEOW. THE KING OF MORALITY, FORMER MR. MORALITY, WHO MOST LIKELY WAS THE RICH YOUNG RULER, WHO CAME RUNNING TO JESUS, AND KNEELING DOWN TO HIM, RHETORICALLY ASKING JESUS: WHAT MUST I DO TO OBTAIN ETERNAL LIFE, EXPECTING TO GET AN ATTA-BOY, WAS DISMANTLED BY JESUS, HEARTLESSLY IT APPEARED, BY CONVICTING HIM THAT HE WAS IN VIOLATION OF THE FIRST COMMANDMENT AND THUS COULD NOT FOLLOW GOD OR JESUS. IT TOOK BEING BEGET BY THE SPIRIT MANY YEARS LATER BEFORE HE COULD SUDDENLY FORSAKE ALL AT AN UNKNOWN TIME, DAY AND PLACE, AND WE WILL TIE THAT TO GOD COMMANDING ADAM NOT TO EAT OF THE TREE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL ASKING OURSELVES WHY GOD CALLED THE FORBIDDEN TREE, THE TREE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL. DID ADAM KNOW EVIL BEFORE HE ATE OF THE FORBIDDEN FRUIT AND HOW THAT TIES TO JESUS SAYING THAT A GOOD TREE CANNOT BARE EVIL FRUIT NOR A CORRUPT TREE GOOD FRUIT AND HOW THESE NEXT TWO VERSES ARE TIED TO THE GOOD AND CORUPT TREE. 1 Jn 3: [9] Whosoever is born of God(NEW CREATION, NOT A TWEAKED NATURAL MAN) doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he CANNOT sin, BECAUSE he is BORN of God(NEW CREATURE). 1JN 1: [8] If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth(JESUS) is not in us. FORMER MR. MORALITY WRITES 2COR. 5: [17] Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature(NOT A TWEAKED DOG TRYING TO MEOW): old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new( NEW SPIRITUAL CAT THAT ACTUALLY MEOWS, A NEW CREATION WITH TOTALLY DIFFERENT CHARACTERISTICS THAN THE NATURAL MAN, A NEW CREATION WITH POWER TO BREAK ANY ADDICTION BECAUSE THE NEW CREATION EXPERIENTIALLY EXPERIENCES THE LOVE OF CHRIST WHICH FAR SURPASSES ANY HUMAN LOVE. EPH. 3: [17] That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
[18] May be ABLE to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
[19] And to KNOW the LOVE(EXPERIENTIALLY) of Christ, which PASSETH knowledge, (IN ORDER) that ye might be FILLED with all the FULNESS of God.
[20] Now unto him that is ABLE to do EXCEEDING abundantly ABOVEALL that WE ASK or THINK, according to the power that worketh in us,
[21] Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen. ALL THIS AN MUCH MORE IN THIS MESSAGE.
MOST ALL OF US AMERICANS KNOW WE ARE IN A MORAL MELTDOWN IN THIS COUNTRY AND MANY OF US ARE FRANTIClALLY TRYING TO SAVE THE NATION, FOR WE SEE OUR POLITICAL INSTITUTIONS, K-12, AND EVEN OUR ELITE UNIVERSITIES BEING METHODICALLY DISMANTLED. WE AS AMERICANS ALSO KNOW THAT THE FAMILY IS THE FIRST GOVERNMENT THAT OUR CHILDREN WILL EXPERIENCE AND MILLIONS OF FAMILY MINI GOVERNMENTS ARE GOING DOWN IN THE FLAMES OF DIVORCE. OBVIOUSLY THIS AMERICAN INSTITUTION OF THE FAMILY IS BECOMING MORE AND MORE A FAILURE AND OUR CHILDREN ARE LOSING FAITH IN THIS INSTITUTION AND ARE SIMPLY BYPASSING MARRIAGE AND LIVING TOGETHER AND BECAUSE OF THE FAILURE OF THIS INSTITUTION ARE DESIRING LESS AND LESS TO HAVE CHILDREN. SO WE IN THIS MESSAGE GO BACK TO THE VERY BEGINNING, TO THE VERY FIRST MINI GOVERNMENT OF ADAM AND EVE AND ALLOW THEM IN THE FIRST PERSON TO TELL US HOW SORRY THEY ARE FOR DOING WHAT THEY DID TO PUT THE HUMAN RACE INTO SUCH AN UNNECESSARY STATE OF OF MISERY, BUT ALSO GIVE HOPE THROUGH THEIR OWN PERSONAL TESTIMONIES OF SALVATION, AND HOW THEY FOUND THE MOTIVATIONAL UNDERSTANDING OF WHY THEIR OLDEST SON MURDERED THEIR YOUNGER SON. HOPEFULLY THEIR TESTIMONIES WILL HELP CHANGE TODAY’S NARRATIVE OF THE CHURCH AS WE AGONIZE TO ENTER IN AT STRAIT AS THE GATE AND NARROW IS THE WAY AND FEW BE THAT FIND IT BECAUSE OF THE POWER OF UNBELIEF IMBEDDED IN US. “Human law must rest its authority ultimately upon the authority of that law which is divine. Far from being rivals or enemies religion and law are twin sisters, friends, and mutual assistance.” James Wilson
DO WE IN AMERICA, TODAY, NEED TO PROCLAIM A NATIONAL DAY OF HUMILIATION, PRAYER, AND FASTING TO SAVE FREE AMERICA. AN EXCERPT FROM ABRAHAM LINCOLN’S NATIONAL DAY HUMILIATION, FASTING & PRAYER:
"And whereas it is the DUTY of NATIONS as WELL as of MEN, to OWN their DEPENDANCE upon the OVERRULING POWER of God,
to CONFESS their SINS and transgressions,
in HUMBLE SORROW,
yet with ASSURED HOPE
that GENUINE REPENTANCE will LEAD to MERCY and PARDON;
and to RECOGNIZE the SUBLIME TRUTH,
announced in the Holy Scriptures and proven by all history,
that THESE NATIONS ONLY are BLESSED whose GOD is the LORD.
announced in the Holy Scriptures and proven by all history,
that THESE NATIONS ONLY are BLESSED whose GOD is the LORD.
And, insomuch as WE KNOW, that,
BY His DIVINE LAW,
NATIONS like INDIVIDUALS
are subjected
to PUNISHMENTS and CHASTISEMENTS in this world,
MAY WE not JUSTLY FEAR that the AWFUL CALAMITY of CIVIL WAR,
which now DESOLATES the LAND,
may be BUT a PUNISHMENT,
INFLICTED upon US,
for our presumptuous sins,
to the NEEDFUL END of our NATIONAL REFORMATION as a whole People?"
BY ABRAHAM
THE MAIN THRUST OF THIS MESSAGE PROVES BEYOND A SHADOW OF A DOUBT THAT THE HORIZONTAL(THAT IS, THE FATE OF AMERICA) IS INEXTRICABLY TIED TO THE VERTICAL(WHICH CHURCH IS DOMINANT IN AMERICA). SOME OF THE QUESTIONS WE BEGIN TO ANSWER ARE: CAN RELIGION AND PUBLIC LIBERTY SUBSIST SEPARATELY, THAT IS, DO THEY RISE AND FALL TOGETHER? AS AMERICANS, HOW ARE WE CREATED EQUAL HORIZONTALLY SPEAKING AS OPPOSED HOW ARE WE CREATED EQUAL VERTICALLY SPEAKING? DOES GOD BELIEVE IN NATIONS OR A ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT? HOW IS THE CORRECT FUNCTION OF THE LAW VERTICALLY SPEAKING DETERMINE THE SUCCESS OF AMERICA HORIZONTALLY SPEAKING-IN OTHER WORDS, IF WE THINK OF THE CHURCH AS THE SUN AND AMERICA AS THE MOON, THEN AMERICA’S MORAL MELTDOWN IS SIMPLY A REFLECTION OF THE FALSE DOCTRINE OF THE DOMINANT CHURCH IN AMERICA. SAMUEL ADAMS, 2ND COUSIN TO JOHN ADAM’S WRITES: “It is in the interest of tyrants to reduce the people to ignorance and vice. For they cannot live in any country where virtue and knowledge prevail. The RELIGION and PUBLIC LIBERTY of a people are intimately connected; their interests are interwoven, they CANNOT subsist SEPARATELY; and THEREFORE they RISE and FALL together. For this reason, it is always observable, that those who are combin'd to DESTROY the people's LIBERTIES, PRACTICE every ART to POISON their MORALS” AT THE TIME OF SAMUEL ADAMS WHEN OUR DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE AND CONSTITUTION WERE WRITTEN, THE REFORMATION DOCTRINE WAS DOMINANT(BONDAGE OF THE WILL DOCTRINE AS OPPOSED TO THE FREEWILL DOCTRINE THAT IS DOMINANT IN AMERICA TODAY).
WE AS JOHN Q. PUBLIC OF AMERICA, BEING THE SIMPLE PEOPLE THAT WE ARE ASK SIMPLE QUESTIONS LIKE WHO IS THE AUTHOR OF THE FAMILY; WAS THE FIRST FAMILY MADE UP OF A MALE AND A FEMALE; WHY DID GOD DRIVE THE FIRST FAMILY FROM THE GARDEN OF EDEN; WAS THERE A MURDER IN THE FIRST FAMILY; WHAT WAS THE MOTIVATION BEHIND THAT MURDER; DID THAT MURDER HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE DOCTRINE OF ELECTION; AS PART OF THE CURSE FOR EVE’S DISOBEDIENCE TO GOD, DID GOD PUT EMNITY OR HATRED BETWEEN THE SEED OF SATAN AND THE SEED OF THE SEED OF EVE; HOW IMPORTANT IS IT FOR OUR CHILDREN TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ELECTION AND THE FASTFOOD FREEWILL DOCTRINE; HOW REAL IS THE DOCTRINE OF ELECTION AND IS IT EASILY PROVED; HOW IMPORTANT IS THE DOCTRINE OF ELECTION TO THE SURVIVAL OF AMERICA? AFTER HEARING THIS MESSAGE IT WILL BE VERY DIFFICULT FOR US NATURAL MAN AMERICANS TO EVER AGAIN EMBRACE THE FASTFOOD FREEWILL DOCTRINE. ALSO WE WILL BEGIN TO PROBE INTO HOW THE DOCTRINE OF ELECTION MAKES US AS AMERICAN CHRISTIANS INEXTRICABLY TIED TO THE WELL BEING OF AMERICA, FOR CHRISTIANITY IN OUR NATION BECOMES AS IMPORTANT AS CHRISTIANITY IN OUR FAMILY. ABRHAM LINCOLN WRITES: And Whereas, It is the duty of nations, as well as of men, to own their dependence upon the overruling power of God, to confess their sins and transgressions, in humble sorrow, yet with assured hope that genuine repentence will lead to mercy and pardon, and to recognize the sublime truth, announced in the Holy Scriptures and proven by all history, that those nations only are blessed whose God is the Lord.
GEORGE WHITEFIELD WRITES: “Among the many heinous sins for which this nation is grown infamous, perhaps there is no one more crying, but withal more common, than the abominable custom of profane swearing and cursing. Our streets abound with persons of all degrees and qualities, who are continually provoking the holy one of Israel to anger, by their detestable oaths and blasphemies: and our very children, "out of whose mouths," the psalmist observes in his days, "was perfected praise," are now grown remarkable for the quite opposite ill quality of cursing and swearing. This cannot but be a melancholy prospect, for every sincere and honest minister of Jesus Christ, to view his fellow-creatures in; and such as will put him on contriving some means to prevent the spreading at least of so growing an evil; knowing that the Lord (without repentance) will assuredly visit for these things. But alas! what can he do? “ THEN WE ALSO WILL HEAR FROM NATAN COLE, EYE WITNESS OF A GEORGE WHITEFIELD APPEARANCE AND HOW GEORGE WHITEFIELD HELD HIS AUDIENCE SPELLBOUND. “Then on a Sudden, in the morning about 8 or 9 of the Clock there came a messenger and said
Mr. Whitefield preached at Hartford and Wethersfield yesterday and is to preach at Middletown
this morning at ten of the Clock, I was in my field at Work, I dropt my tool and I had in my
hand an ran home to my wife telling her to make ready quickly to go and hear Mr. Whitefield
preach at Middletown, then run to my pasture for my horse with all my might; fearing that I
should be too late; having my horse I wish my wife soon mounted the horse and went forward as
fast as I thought the horse could bear, and when my horse got much out of breath I would get
down and put my wife on the Saddle and bid her ride as fast as she could and not Stop or Slack
for me except I bad her and so I would run until I was much out of breath; and then mount my
horse again, and so I did several times to favour my horse; we improved every moment to get
along as if we were fleeing for our lives; all the while fearing we should be too late to hear the
Sermon, for we had twelve miles to ride double in little more than an hour and we went round
by the upper housen parish.
[On the road to the sermon]
And when we came within about half a mile or a mile of the Road that comes down from
Hartford, Wethersfield and Stepney to Middletown; on high land I saw before me a Cloud or
fogg rising; I first thought it came from the great River, but I came near the Road, I heard a
noise something like a low rumbling thunder and presently found it was the noise of Horses feet
coming down the Road and this Cloud was a Cloud of dust made by the Horses felt; it arose
some Rods into the air over the tops of Hills and trees and when I came within about 20 rods of
the Road, I could see men and horses Slipping along in the Cloud like shadows and as I drew
nearer it seemed like a steady Stream of horses and their riders, scarcely a horse more than a
length behind another, all of a Lather and foam with sweat, their breath rolling out of their
nostrils every Jump; every horse seemed to go with all his might to carry his rider to hear news
from heaven for the saving of Souls; it made me tremble to see the Sight, how the world was in a
Struggle; I found a Vacancy between two horses to Slip in min and my wife said law our cloths
will be all spoiled see how they look, for they were so Covered with dust, that they looked
almost all of a Colour Coats, hats, shirts, and horses.
THE SPIRITUAL WAR: THE “SPIRITUAL RIGHT” AGAINST THE SPIRITUAL LEFT, THAT IS, THE BONDAGE OF THE WILL DOCTRINE WHICH SWEPT EUROPE IN THE 1500’S AND CAME TO NORTH AMERICA VIA THE PILGRIMS IN 1620, AS OPPOSED TO THE FREEWILL DOCTRINE OF SOUTH AMERICA BEGINNING WITH CORTEZ AND COLUMBUS! THERE IS A SELF EVIDENT TRUTH IN REGARDS TO THE INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM AND ECONOMIC PROSPERITY THAT EXISTS BETWEEN AMERICA AND SOUTH AMERICA: WHEREVER THE DOCTRINE OF THE TRUE JESUS GOES, THERE WILL BE BLESSINGS BEYOND DESCRIPTION. Psalm 33:[12] Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD: and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.PSALM 22: [28] For the kingdom is the LORD's: and he is the governor among the nations. WE AS AMERICANS NEED TO MAKE AGAIN #1 THE BONDAGE OF THE WILL CHURCHES IN AMERICA!
TRUE OR FALSE: “MAN, CONSIDERED AS A CREATURE, MUST BE SUBJECT TO HIS CREATOR, FOR HE IS ENTIRELY A DEPENDENT BEING. A BEING INDEPENDENT OF ANY OTHER, HAS NO RULE, BUT SUCH AS HE PRESCRIBES TO HIMSELF; BUT A STATE OF DEPENDANCE WILL INEVITABLY OBLIGE THE INFERIOR TO TAKE THE WILL OF HIM, ON WHOM HE DEPENDS, AS HIS RULE OF CONDUCT. AND CONSEQUENTLY, AS MAN DEPENDS ABSOLUTELY UPON HIS MAKER FOR EVERYTHING, IT IS NECESSARY THAT HE SHOULD IN ALL POINTS CONFORM TO HIS MAKER’S WILL.” HOW DEPENDENT ARE WE ON OUR MAKER AND HOW WILL THIS AFFECT HOW WE SET UP OUR FAMILY, FOR OUR FAMILY IS A MINI NATION AND THUS THE FIRST GOVERNMENT OUR CHILDREN WILL EXPERIENCE, A MINI GOVERNMENT OF LAWS. WILL THOSE BE GOD’S LAWS OF FREEDOM AND HAPPINESS OR MAN’S LAWS WHICH LEAD TO TYRANNY. OUR AMERICAN CONSTITUTION WAS WRITTEN FOR AN IMPERFECT PEOPLE NOT A PERFECT PEOPLE, WILL OUR MINI NATION THAT IS, OUR FAMILY GOVERNMENT, BE WRITTEN FOR IMPERFECT OR PERFECT FAMILY MEMBERS. WE WILL BEGIN TO EXPLORE ALL THIS IN THIS MESSAGE
“Happy, thrice happy ye, who are already raised from spiritual death, and have an earnest of an infinitely better and more glorious resurrection in your hearts. You know a little, how delightful it must have been to Martha and Mary and Lazarus, to sit down with the blessed Jesus here below; but how infinitely more delightful will it be, to sit down, not only with Mary and Martha, but with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and all your other dear brethren and sisters, in the kingdom of heaven. Do you not long for that time, when Jesus shall say unto you, "Come up hither?" Well! Blessed be God, yet a little while, and that same Jesus, who cried with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come forth;" shall with the same voice, and with the same power, speak unto all that are in their graves, and they shall come forth. That all who hear me this day may be then enabled to lift up their heads and rejoice, that the day of their complete redemption is indeed fully come, may Jesus Christ grant, for his infinite mercy's sake. Amen, and Amen.
Christless souls, you do not know what grief your continuance in sin occasions to your godly relations! You do not know how you grieve the heart of Jesus. I beseech you give him no fresh cause to weep over you upon account of your unbelief: let him not again groan in his spirit and be troubled. Behold how he has loved you, even so as to lay down his life for you. What could he do more? I pray you, therefore, dead sinners, come forth; arise and sup with Jesus. This was an honor conferred on Lazarus, and the same honor awaits you. Not that you shall sit down with him personally in this life, as Lazarus did, but you shall sit down with him at the table of his ordinances, especially at the table of the Lord's supper, and ere long sit down with him in the kingdom of heaven!” By George WHITEFIELD.
IN THIS MESSAGE WE WILL BEGIN TO LOOK INTO THE SIN OF THE FAMILY AND HOW WE MAY BE IGNORANTY BE SETTING OURSELVES, AS AMERICANS, UP TO BE TRAPPED IN THE SIN OF THE FAMILY, FOR WE KNOW THE PENALTY FOR BREAKING ONE OF OUR TRAFFIC LAWS IN AMERICA IS NOT BASED ON OUR GOOD INTENTIONS, BUT ON THE INFRACTION ITSELF AND THE PENALTY THEREOF WHICH MAY COME IN DEGREES. LIKEWISE THE PENALITIES FOR BREAKING GOD’S MORAL AND CIVIL ARE NOT BASED UPON OUR GOOD INTENTIONS BUT STRICTLY ACCORDING TO WHAT THE LAW ALLOWS, AND LIKEWISE GOD’S LAWS FOR THE FAMILY. WE AS AMERICAN CANNOT PLEAD IGNORANCE OF GOD’S LAWS OF THE FAMILY BUT ONLY MERCY: THUS, THE IMPORTANCE OF KNOWING GOD’S LAW FOR THE FAMILY BEFORE WE GET MARRIED. HOWEVER IN SETTING UP OUR FAMILIES THERE IS BOTH A CIVIL AND SPIRITUAL FUNCTION OF THE LAW WE MUST BE COGNIZANT OF, THAT IS, IF WE PLEASE, BOTH THE HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL FUNCTION OF THE LAW MUST BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION. FOR THE SPIRITUAL FUNCTION OF THE LAW WE WILL NOT ONLY BE LOOKING AT THE SCRIPTURES BUT INTO PILGRIM’S PROGRESS TO WITNESS ONE OF THE BEST ALLEGORICAL PRESENTATIONS OF THE SPIRITUAL FUNCTION OF LAW AND AS A RESULT ONE OF THE BEST PORTRAYALS OF THE EXPERIENCE OF WHAT A TRUE CONVERSION OF CHRIST EVER WRITTEN AND PORTRAYED IS LIKE. YOU WANT TO MISS IT!
