Weeping Between The Porch And The Altar - Part 2 – Joel 2:17 Series

So I said... "Lord, these people far off there, they subdued whole kingdoms, they wrought righteousness, they obtained promises, they stopped the mouths of lions, women received their dead come to life."

And then I thought this... "Not one of them had a Bible" AMEN! “Did you ever consider that?”

That was back in a time when God's chosen people wondered around in sheepskins and goatskins!

Now today we are God's chosen people and we are living in a land flowing with milk and honey...and we have churches flowing with mink and money.

But God does not look at us on the outside...He looks on the inside...and those people mentioned in the Faith Chapter never had these 66 Books.

And I'm standing here right now saying...God doesn't have anything to add to this Book...nothing more!

So what are we waiting for...our marching orders are right here...AMEN...and the Holy Ghost is READY!!!

Let me give you the other side and I'll quit.

We are the most broken nation that we've ever been in history...more broken homes...more broken hearts over those broken homes...more broken kids because of those broken homes...more minds broken by drugs and alcohol.

We've more bodies broken...over 2 million unmarried girls last year got pregnant under 17 years old.

Do you think God Almighty is going to wink at our sins much longer? I don't.

And the legislators can't help us...they are ungodly and broken, and the banks can't help us...they are corrupt and so greedy, and the government can't help us...they are morally bankrupt!

Money can't help us...it only continues to perpetuate our doom! You cannot buy Salvation!

Our help must come from HIM...and the only way for the Lord to help us is in submission and brokeness.

I am convinced the key is in the ministry and through ministers, preachers, lay ministers, and Spirit filled people today.

Maybe the way to start revival is for me to just say... "Look, I've had no passion for the lost. I shed no tears for lost mankind. I've so many other things I am interested in." But from this day forward I am going to be like Paul when he said... "This - one - thing - I - do." He lived God … He thought God … He prayed God. That's all he did.

They lashed him, but could not whip God out of him. He floated on a piece of wood in the Mediterranean a night and a day...thirty six hours...and that could not wash God out of him.

They tried to starve him, but they could not starve God out of him.

WHY? He had a GOD GIVEN VISION of the cross, he had a VISION OF THE RESURRECTION POWER.

He realized the greatest thing this side of eternity is to be a God filled man.

That is why he could say... “TO LIVE IS CHRIST, AND TO DIE IS MY GAIN.”

And he went out and proclaimed that message, whether it was to Jews, to barbarians, to Greeks, to intellectuals, or to the Roman soldiers he was chained to and he did it with no fear...because he had THE GHOST WITH HIM!!!

And praise God...Satan cursed his name in hell...does Satan curse your name...my name for that fact in hell today?
