When a nation becomes proud, then comes shame. Pride is an abomination to the Lord. Throughout history, God has judged nations for this, like Sodom, Gomorrah, Israel, and Judah, to name a few. How can America escape? This is a classic and heartfelt cry of the Watchman, warning one and all. Ezekiel 16:46-52New King James Version (NKJV) 46 “Your elder sister is Samaria, who dwells with her daughters to the north of you; and your younger sister, who dwells to the south of you, is Sodom and her daughters. 47 You did not walk in their ways nor act according to their abominations; but, as if that were too little, you became more corrupt than they in all your ways. 48 “As I live,” says the Lord God, “neither your sister Sodom nor her daughters have done as you and your daughters have done. 49 Look, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: She and her daughter had pride, fullness of food, and abundance of idleness; neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. 50 And they were haughty and committed abomination before Me; therefore I took them away as I saw fit.[a] 51 “Samaria did not commit half of your sins; but you have multiplied your abominations more than they, and have justified your sisters by all the abominations which you have done. 52 You who judged your sisters, bear your own shame also, because the sins which you committed were more abominable than theirs; they are more righteous than you. Yes, be disgraced also, and bear your own shame, because you justified your sisters. About David Wilkerson was the Founding Pastor of Times Square Church in New York City. He was called to New York in 1958 to minister to gang members and drug addicts, as told in the best-selling book, The Cross and the Switchblade. In 1987, David Wilkerson returned to “the crossroads of the world” to establish Times Square Church. As a pastor of the church, he faithfully led this congregation, delivering powerful biblical messages that encourage righteous living and complete reliance on God. David Wilkerson had a strong burden to encourage and strengthen pastors throughout the world. From 1999 to 2008, he traveled around the globe holding conferences for Christian ministers.

I thank you Holy Spirit for your moving
Among Us this morning thank you Lord for
the sanctifying power of the blood of
Jesus now sanctify me as I preach your
word let me be an oracle of God and I
pray Lord that you give us hearing ears
to hear and that the word of the Lord
will go deep into our spirit and we will
be changed by the word faith comes by
hearing and hearing by the word Lord
we’re hearing the word and as we hear it
let it produce faith in us God there are
people here this morning my heavenly
father that are living in terrible fears
just flooded with fears and we pray Lord
that you show them how to get Victory to
overcome those fears in Jesus name that
when the service is finished this
morning through the power of the word
and the Holy Ghost making it alive
nobody will leave here Bound by fear
break the chains of fear hallelujah holy
ghost come down on this meeting now let
in a special way that we may hear and
understand your word
in Jesus name amen overcoming the spirit
of fear fear I believe is one of the
most destructive forces on the face of
the Earth in fact fear is Satan’s most
powerful weapon against God’s children
you know that he’s come against you many
many
times the prophet Isaiah predicted in
the last days fear and the pit and the
snare will come all come upon all the
inhabitants of the earth Isaiah 24:17
then he added these words he said it
shall come to pass that he who flees
from the noise of the fear will fall
into the pit and he that comes out of
the pit shall be taken in the
snare and here’s what the prophet saw he
saw multitudes in the last days living
in a prison of fear in pits of Despair
and snared and troubled and sorrow as no
other generation and the pit in Hebrew
means a personal living hell and the
snare means a trapped feeling and Isaiah
is looking at our day and nothing
describes our time better than that here
are people who have the most prosperity
and material Goods of any generation and
yet they talk about living in a living
hell they talk about being in a hell
they live in constant fear we have
people that are more mobile than any
other generation we have a ability to go
all over the world there’s more freedom
personal freedom than any other time and
yet we have people saying I feel
trapped beloved there is a flood
absolute flood of fear upon the world
today in Deuteronomy 28 God enumerates
the many curses that come upon
idolatrous people and we are an
idolatrous generation and here is one of
the curses enumerated in Deuteronomy 28
the Lord shall give you a trembling
heart and failing of the eyes sorrow of
mind and you shall live in fear night
and day that’s part of the curse of
idolatry that’s the curse on the United
States right now and all other modern
societies on the face of the Earth that
have forgotten God we have removed God
from our schools from our courts in
Alabama right now there’s a fight with a
federal with one of the judges because
he’s got a carving over his at the back
of his
desk uh with the Ten Commandments and
the federal government’s trying to re
have that removed and they’re trying to
sue him thank God the governor said if I
have to I’m going to have troops outside
the arm is going to have to fight us to
get it
down but you
know there there is there is a because
of this godlessness the Lord says the
curse that comes upon your idolatry and
your God forsakenness he said you’re
going to live in fear night and day
constantly Isaiah warned the enemy shall
come in then like a flood and we see
that happening Daniel prophesying about
the last day said and the end thereof
shall be with a flood the end of time is
going to close with a flood and we’ll
talk about how the devil’s going to send
that flood out against the church now we
know that Satan’s a robber he’s a thief
he’s trying to rob the whole world of of
all peace he’s a destroyer and he wants
to bring absolute chaos he wants to
bring fear and anxiety and perplexity
upon the whole earth in fact the Bible
Jesus said in the last days men’s Hearts
would What fail them for fear watching
those things coming upon the Earth fear
and perplexity on all
side picked up the New York Times on
Wednesday and let me give you just a few
of the causes of fear sweeping the world
today this is March 14
Jordanian soldiers killed seven Israeli
school girls I’m sure you read about it
the shooting took place in a patch of
land that’s shared both by Jews and
Arabs it’s a neutral ground and
ironically it’s called the island of
peace and in this little island of Peace
A busload of school girls as ready as
school girls get out they’re taking
pictures they’re being taught about
nature and suddenly a wild Jordanian
gunman with the k47 comes and starts
mowing them I killed seven girl girls
and wounded seven others and the picture
there is of their schoolmates rolling on
the ground groaning and screaming in
grief at the sight of their schoolmates
being killed and all of Israel is in
fear jordanians are in fear the
Jordanian uh president has apologized
but the jordanians now feel fear
retaliation and so the whole mid East
right now is in fear the same same day
on the front page New York Times March
14 fear strikes Al
Albania and the capital city terrania is
crumbling it’s fallen into Anarchy the
whole nation suddenly overnight has gone
into Anarchy the authorities have flung
open the weapons storehouses and they’re
giving guns and ammunition free to the
citizens and people are shooting in all
directions people are afraid to leave
their homes they have broken down all of
the warehouses and stolen the food and
people walking with 100 PB packs of
sacks of flour and they’re locking
themselves into their homes and people
are afraid to go out of their houses
trying to just survive it army tanks in
the streets a whole nation of Albania a
whole nation overnight goes into Terror
and Anarchy
overnight fear the Bible says coming on
all side like a flood it just a flood
came into Albania overnight and now
people who who used to sit together and
work together are shooting one another
over 50 have been killed I understand
the same page you see this is one
newspaper one day and you get it every
day the causes of fear here’s uh from
page four the French police arrested 250
men linked to a child pornography ring
fear has gripped all of France shock
indignation
because the police confiscated 5,000
video cassettes featuring child
molestation the 250 that were jailed
included two School principles two
teachers and the others were workers
with children and fear has come upon the
people because all walks of life were
involved most the people involved in
making the films producing them and and
and distributing them were all
professionals and there’s fear now
because so many children have been
kidnapped and being used in these films
chob molestation the whole nation is
shocked IND digant
overnight a nation plunged into
fear Jesus summed it all
up upon the Earth distress with
perplexity and men’s Hearts failing them
for
fear in the New Testament the Bible said
the church is like to a woman a
bride and the Bible says it very clear
in Revelation 12:15 the serpent shall
cast out of his mouth water as a flood
after the woman that he might cause her
to be carried away of the
flood and according to the scripture
this flood is going to be against the
holy Remnant against God’s chosen people
which keep the Commandments of God and
have the testimony of Jesus
Christ now how is the devil going to do
that the Bible says he going to cast out
of his mouth a flood this is a flood of
Lies a flood of Lies against the Church
of Jesus Christ against everyone who is
a follower of Christ and those who walk
under the anointing of the Holy Ghost
and beloved you can get ready there is a
flood coming you’re going to have Satan
come against you in these last days
especially if you’re part of the Holy
Remnant you have a heart set for God
you’re seeking his face with everything
in you you’re a marked person and he’s
going to cast out of his mouth the Bible
says against the remnant against the
bride against this woman taken into the
Wilderness he’s going to spit out of his
mouth of flood trying to carry you away
he’s going to try to carry you away in a
flood of fears based on his
lies and we’ll talk about that
today Jesus said let not your hearts be
troubled neither Let It Be Afraid and
when you go into the New Testament
you’ll find Jesus trying to encourage us
not to be afraid no matter what the
devil tries to send he said fear not be
Not Afraid fear not little flock all
through the New Testament every all
through Matthew Mark Luke and John you
hear Jesus say Don’t Be Afraid fear not
don’t be
troubled my little flock done you find
it all through the Epistles the Holy
Ghost speaking to his church don’t be
afraid but
sadly and truly there are many
Christians that live just as fearfully
as those they work with who are not
saved there is as much fear in some
Churches among some Christians as there
is out there on the
streets Jesus said we’re not to fear
what the world fears Isaiah said don’t
let their fear be your fear don’t let
their dread be your dread let the Lord
be your fear and let your lord be your
dread but you’re not to fear their kind
of fear Jesus said don’t take any
thought what you eat what you shall
drink or what you shall wear he said
those are the fears of the Gentiles but
he said not you your father knows how to
take care of you he’s taking care of the
L those fears are not to be in your
heart you’re not to fear the loss of the
economy you’re not to fear unemployment
you’re not to fear anything having to do
with food on your table clothes on your
back a roof over your head you’re not to
fear those things those are the fears of
the world they fear social unrest they
fear economic collapse they fear all of
these things losing their job everyone
around you is afraid of losing their job
that should not be your fear we have
many people that have been un God’s
given them new jobs he’s provided all
through their unemployment they’ve never
missed the meal never missed the
[Applause]
meal that is not your fear that is not
my fear lord said you’re not he said
neither fear ye their fears nor be
afraid let him be your fear and let him
be your
dread but we as Christians have our own
kinds of fears I want to talk just about
two of those kinds of fears there are
many of them I could go on to the fear
of men and the the so so many personal
fears but I want to talk about two fears
in
particular if you really love Jesus with
all your heart there there there’s a
perplexity that has sweeping the whole
church World tremendous
perplexity about infiltrators deceivers
that have come into the house of God to
destroy if you love the Lord you have
got to be astounded amazed and hurt and
grieved at what you see and hear is
creeping into the Church of Jesus Christ
under the name of the Holy Ghost or
under the name of
Revival and there’s fear and perplexity
I I have people from all the United
States send me tapes now I get letters
and they say Pastor Dave please you’ve
got to tell us whether this is of God or
whether this is the devil or of the
flesh we don’t know the Bible says
there’s no Prophet among them anymore
there are no prophets out there that’s
standing up and exposing that which is
the Flesh and the devil and so people
write and they say uh could you tell us
and they send this tapes and I look at
these tapes and I can’t believe what I
see on one tape this past week I look at
at a charismatic church this is supposed
to be a great Revival and I see people
in the front of the church and up and
down the aisles on all fours with a dog
leash around their neck and somebody
holding the lease and he’s crawling
around on all floors there’s one over
here one over here they’re crawling
around on dog leases and the
congregation is sing where he leads me I
will follow as if if the Holy Ghost is
the dog Jesus is the
dog and I look at the people and I
listen to the woman who’s leading this
and she said this is
Revival two of the leading leaders of
the relap Revival if I named them you
would be
shocked right on the tape I saw it
Pastor Carter saw it they are on stage
before thousands of people and they are
telling jokes to one another in
tongues laughing their eyes open
slapping each other on the
back and I I say to myself where is all
the discernment look at those hundreds
and hundreds of people clapping laughing
blaspheming the Holy Ghost
[Music]
blasphemy another
account just came to me this just two
three days ago here’s a woman in one of
the well-known revivals and she gets up
and she’s shaking uncontrollably and the
pastor’s interviewing her and and she is
saying this is a new work of the holy
spirit this shaking he’s going to shake
everybody because the new work of the
holy spirit is come now to shake out
sin and I’m sitting there and there are
Pentecostal and even assembly gun
pastors sitting there and friends of
mine that I know and a whole
congregation going crazy and I’m saying
to wait a minute I’m screaming inside
wait a minute then anybody hear what she
said the Holy Ghost is going to shake
out sin where is the
blood you don’t sh sin is not shaken out
it’s blotted out by the blood of Jesus
Christ
[Applause]
this past week Life Magazine has a story
of of a church that I’m familiar with s
San Francisco Glide Memorial United
Methodist Church the pastor has just
removed the cross from the sanctuary
because he calls it
offensive Pastor Cesar Williams said I
am convinced the cross will not save
Humanity Humanity will redeem the cross
in fact you and I are the cross he said
the church has psychedelic happenings
drag queens and Jews and atheist feel
very comfortable sitting because they
have no Doctrine no Dogma the babies are
baptized in name of the fathers and
mothers in humanity and their street
workers and evangelist go out passing
out
condoms and they are so packed you can’t
get a seat
beloved it’s going to get
worse we are going to see and hear of
the most bizarre Wicked vile things in
all called in the name of Jesus Christ
all called an Awakening of the spirit go
to Psalm 74 quickly please Psalm 74 I’m
going to show you
something this has all been
prophesied Psalm 74
folks I’ve been preaching this
particular text that I’m leading you to
now showing you I’ve been preaching this
for 15
years I started prophesying about this
15 years ago starting verse 4 Psalm
74:4 thine enemies Roar in the midst of
thy
congregations they set up their igns for
signs they move right into the house of
God instead of their program a man was
famous according as he had lifted up
axes upon the thick trees in other words
the most famous among them are going to
be those with an axe in hand and a
hammer but now they break down the
carved work thereof at once with axes
and hammers that’s everything that was
sacred everything that was holy carved
out by years of true Doctrine years of
the workings of the Holy Spirit he these
men come in with their axes and their
Hammers and they start chopping they
have cast fire into the sanct uary they
have defiled by casting down the
dwelling place of the name to the of thy
name to the ground they said in their
hearts let us destroy them together they
have burned up all the synagogues of God
in the land we see not our signs there’s
no more Prophet neither is there among
us any that knoweth how
long hey folks look at me please this is
where we’re at right now in the United
States and around the world we have
infiltrators we have false prophet the B
didn’t the Lord warn us that there would
come false Christ there would come
angels of light there would be doctrines
of demons and folks that is what we see
now doctrines of demons and people it
it’s going there’s going to be such a a
confused picture of Jesus there’s going
to be a Jesus created that’s just like
man that he can
joke he has no burden but he laughs
this is going to be a a Jesus that can
be accepted even by the
Antichrist David asked what people been
asking me I I’ve had numbers say
recently Pastor D how long do you think
God’s going to put up with all this
foolishness and that’s what it is it’s
plain
foolishness if it’s not in some areas
where it’s not deception or or whether
whether it’s not blasphemy it’s utter
silly foolishness it’s a charismatic
circus
and people have said how long is God
going to put up with when is he going to
deal with the leaders when is he going
to deal with these blinded Shepherds
David asked the same question oh God how
long shall the adversary reproach shall
the enemy blast thy name for blaspheme
thy name forever remember this that the
enemy hath reproached you oh Lord and
that the foolish people have blasphemed
thy name oh deliver not the soul of thy
turtle dove into the multitude of the
wicked forget not the congregation of
thy poor David cried out oh God how long
and beloved that that is the that is the
perplexity it’s not so much a fear but a
perplexity that is sweeping over the
holy Remnant the grief of God the pain
that so many feel know I I can
tell when people are really walking in
the Holy Ghost and have intimacy with
Jesus and and are walking fully in the
Discerning Eye of the Holy Ghost because
when they see and hear these things they
bow their head and they begin to cry
silently they feel the pain of
God and then others I see they’ll watch
some of this stuff and they say yeah
that
wonderful because they perk up because
they want to see something exciting
they’re not satisfied in Jesus and the
first thing I I I’m sitting there
thinking to
myself what how will God must feel the
grief and and then I I see another
preacher be sitting nearby watching the
same thing not not any of our
staff but I’ve seen this literally
they’re saying to themselves I’m going
to get on a plane I’m going right there
I’m going to see
it where is the discernment the absolute
discernment
let me tell you why I believe so many
Christians are being so easily deceived
let me tell you why and if you’ll hear
me now in the spirit you need never
again in your lifetime with Christ ever
fear
deception I know many of you have that
fear I I have numbered people write to
me said but WS I don’t want to be
deceived and they have a fear that that
their Pastor will bring something and
this is what happened I’m afraid my
pastor will bring something in and try
to convince me it’s of God
and we have pastors that get up Suddenly
and say everything is changing in this
church and overnight they bring it in
but let me tell you something if you’re
visiting where you’re from this church
or any other church let me tell you how
people are deceived and if you hear it
you need never fear deception again in
your
lifetime listen please deception is the
curse upon those who have habitually
neglected prayer and the word of
God the leaders of
these aberration the leaders of all of
these false things that are happening
are not men of prayer you’ll find them
on the golf course you’ll find them
gatting about but you won’t find them
shut in the secret place and they’ve
been given over to this because they
turned away from the holy of holies and
they’ve gone into the flesh they are not
me of prayer they don’t know their
Bibles because they’re not into the
Bible they don’t take time with the word
they’re on their motorcycles they’re in
their cars they’re gotting about they
eat most of the time and they don’t have
the
anointing they don’t have the touch of
God and so they get up and they attract
people like themselves those who
habitually who have a habit of
neglecting God and His
word let me tell you
something there are people in this
church hearing me right now balcony all
around
me not one time last week did you open
your
Bible not one half hour did you shut
yourself in with Jesus to get to know
him better and to love him and just
share with
him there are some of you have developed
a
habit you don’t even know how no no
amount of preaching for this Pulpit no
amount of of Holy Ghost conviction is
going to change you because you’re not a
you didn’t you don’t have a drug habit
you don’t have a smoking habit you don’t
have an alcohol habit but you have a
habit of neglect it has become a habit
and you don’t know how to break it you
do not read the word of God you are not
a student of this book you don’t go
through the book of Psalms you don’t go
through the gospels you don’t go here to
look for Jesus you don’t have your Bible
underline you’re not pouring into this
book it sits there it’s not opened and
you think I will I will but you don’t
you have time for television you have
time for everything else but you don’t
read your
book you don’t pray and some of the only
contact you have with Jesus is here at
Times Square Church you come here you
get say well I get I get I I’ll come to
all three service that gives me three
hours with the Lord or two hour services
that gives me six hours a day on Sunday
I spend six hours with Jesus I spend two
hours Tuesday night I go to prayer
meeting that’s the only contact you have
that’s not
enough and I’ll tell you what you can
continue on that way and sooner or later
deception is going to come in you’re
going to be deceived you’re going to
turn to the
flesh you know what really bother what
what what really Grieves
me there are some of you I’m going to
say as loving as I know how but it has
to be said I talked to you as a pastor
now and I’m going to talk to you with
this greatest love that a spiritual
father can give give you some have been
sitting here for 3 4 5 years some of
them maybe just a year and you gave your
heart to Jesus you love him You Weep you
cry you praise the Lord then you go
right out the door you light up a
cigarette you’re blowing smoke in jesus’
face and some of you are still
drinking this church takes a stand
against smoking against drinking against
pornography against sexual perversions
and sins and adultery and fornication
[Applause]
I accidentally bumped into a few of you
this week with the cigarette in your
your hand you I didn’t condemn
you I didn’t put you
down I’m saying why aren’t you trusting
God for victory to be the
testimony it’s not a testament for you
to come out these doors and stand out
there smoking by the way if you’re going
to light up go at least five blocks away
from the church
please you tell me you love Jesus he
he’s Lord of your life you’re still
drinking because you see if you hold on
to your cigarettes you hold on to these
things you still given the devil place
in your heart and that’s going to lead
you right on down till finally you go
all the way back to your old ways and
you can’t be healed of any emotional
problem until you you’re healed of these
physical habits those have to go first
and then will come your other healings
that you need in your life was that
loving
enough my people have forgotten me days
without
number
now many of you are familiar with that
verse my people forgotten me days
without number but have you ever looked
in next verse the curse that goes with
that and this is why you see people
running all over the nation looking for
something for the flesh why Gest thou
about so much to change your
ways why do you get about he he said if
you’re not going to seek me with all
your heart if you’re not going to be
anchored in my word you’re going to
become a gatab about and you’re going to
go out seeking for something and then
Hosea the 12th chapter first verse the
curse is fully explained he said Ephraim
feeds on wind and follows after the East
Wind
the East means CTIC in fact that’s the
that that is the connotation of East in
in uh Greek or rather in Hebrew all the
Eastern Cults taoism Hinduism all the
gurus and swamis come from the East he
said you’re going to chase the
Exotic you’re going to become a gat
about the wind is going to carry you
about for every winded wave of
Doctrine and he said you’re going to
chase the East Wind
they going to go to mysticism you’re
going to go to all of these things folks
I beg you in the name of the Lord get
into the word and get anchored not just
hearing sermons in church but get into
this book get your soul anchored so that
all the winds and ways of Doctrine
you’ll have your own discernment you
don’t need to preach our Prophet you
have it in your own you’ll know it get
on your knees before God and ask him to
reveal that which is holy and that which
is profane
glory to God Lord wants a people that
are strong in these last
days second fear that I want to deal
with is the fear of falling into sin the
fear
of failing God after all this striving
and the struggle to be a Christian that
somehow in the end I will fail and this
is a fear that’s very
prevalent recently I had a young
Minister who’ been saved from drugs for
15
years come to my
office and uh he said brother Dave see
this young man had been saved through
our ministry to drug addicts and uh he
had a Ministry to drug addicts an
alcoholics very successful both he and
his wife very active in
it and he said I had to come to tell you
face to face I didn’t want to hear you
to hear it from anybody else but he said
I’m back on
heroin and he said I’ve been on Heron
for a year while I still in my
Ministry but I couldn’t live that double
life he said I’ve lost that
Ministry and he said I I just had to sit
here face to face I love this young man
I’ve I’ve loved him and ministered with
him for many many
years precious young
man he’s he’s probably near 50 years of
age
now I’ve helped him loved
him I didn’t condemn him I said I love
you just as much as I did before I knew
this he said pastor the hard part now is
I have to go home today tell my
16-year-old son that his dad
hooked again on heroin went back to
heroin he said and then this afternoon
or or tomorrow I have to go to all my
men former drug addicts in my program
and I’ve got to tell them that their
Shepherd has
fallen now I know the pain I I he just
wept concerned about his son and I know
I know that those men in his program
will forgive him I I know they’ll say
God bless you for being honest but I
know one thing everyone them going to be
thinking every one them they’re going to
say to themselves if my shepherd can’t
make it how am I going to make it it’s
going to bring fear on all of those men
they’re going to be absolutely afraid I
begin to pray in my spirit oh God uh
keep by your spirit keep by your
power but see there’s a fear of
falling and the Bible predicts in the
last days there come a falling away a
great falling away and we’re seeing that
Falling Away I’ve been preaching since
was a boy and I tell you I have never
seen so many people falling as there are
now ministers ministers wives Christians
who’ve walked with God for years are
failing and falling in in in in later
years many of them and they’re 60s some
of them in their 70s who who spent a
lifetime and now they’re turning back to
their old ways suddenly just gone this
past week i’ I’m absolutely shocked at
some of the my friends and acquaintance
says have been in Ministry for years and
some that I have helped and prayed with
and many saved under our ministry and
now they’re tottering wondering if
they’re even going to serve the Lord
anymore and this has brought a fear to
so many people when some of the famous
evangelist went down uh I I remember one
night we were down at the other theater
down at the netherlander theater and I
had to get up and and announce because I
had just been in informed that the
second evangelist was going to be
exposed that night on on uh Ted Coppel
show because Mr cel’s uh director had
called me just a few hours before the
service and I had to get up some of you
were there and I said uh tonight some of
you are going to be blown away but I
have to warn you and tell you that at
10:00 tonight you’re going to hear of
one of America’s most famous evangelist
being
exposed and the congre there was way
there was crying there was weeping on
all side and after the service I went in
the lobby and I was bombarded one man
said no he said I sold my house to help
that man I spent thousands of dollars
don’t tell me then then then he raised
his hand he said who can make it then
who’s going to make it if famous
evangelists are not going to make it how
am I exp how am I supposed I heard that
that night everywhere how do I make it
brother how do I make I said look all of
have not
Fallen I said get your eyes on Jesus
don’t get your eyes on man get your eyes
on the
Lord but you’re going You’re going to
hear more and more of
that let me talk to you about that fear
that some of you have here right now the
fear of failing God the the fear many of
you have of not measuring up to God the
fear that somehow the enemy in this
flood that’s coming is going to carry
you away and that you’ll fail God in the
last
moment let me give you God’s desire for
you first of all that he would Grant
unto us this is Luke
27475 that he would Grant unto us that
we being delivered out of the hand of
our enemies might serve him without fear
in Holiness and righteousness before him
all the days of our life now look at me
please God’s desire for every one of us
is that we live the Christian Life
without any fear all the days of our
life to walk in Holiness and
righteousness without fear fear has
torment and the devil can get you afraid
afraid of man afraid of falling a afraid
that the church is going to
collapse afraid that the deceptions are
going to sweep you away no no no no he
said his plan for every one of us is
that we live without fear all the days
of our life that’s his
plan he said not giving you the spirit
of fear my desire is to give you
Holiness and righteousness by faith so
you can live out your days without fear
but now let me come to the key in the
heart of my message it’s just I need
just a few moments to bring you to the
the heart of what I want to say to you
how to overcome these fears and
perplexities I want you to go with me to
Psalm 93
you’re still with me aren’t
you Psalm
93 beloved I was uh this past
week I was uh contemplating this message
and thinking of all the things that are
happening and all the fearful fearful
things that are sweeping and folks uh
just on Monday I got 7,000 500 letters
on one day
7,500 because our mening list now is
near
800,000 in just Monday there were 7,500
pieces of mail and most of them a letter
a note many many of them with letters
and notes and in sometimes in one week
15,000
and this
fear that has
gripped people and and when I read many
of these
letters I said oh god there has to be
something that you give us I want you to
give me something and and I this is just
a few nights ago and I was about
midnight about to go to bed and the Holy
Ghost spoke to me clearly not an audible
voice but that wonderful still Small
Voice and said D the answer is in Psalm
93 I’m going to give you the key so that
you don’t ever be AF afraid about my
church it’s my church and I’m going to
take care of it and I’m going to move
when I have to move and I’m going to do
what I have to do and you’re not to be
afraid of my
church I’ll Purge it when I want to
purge it I’ll clean it up when I’m ready
to clean it up you not be afraid of that
but to give the people and for your own
self a simple picture God I’m so stupid
up here I’m so hard to to to to get get
it I have to tell God I have to speak to
this Lord I’m so dumb you’re going to
have to make that so simple third grader
can understand
it I’m going to help you understand in
very simple terms how you can overcome
your
fears no big fanciful
theological scheme simple childlike
verse three the floods have lifted up oh
Lord the flood have lifted up their
voice the floods lift up their waves now
you what God’s saying look at me God
saying you’re going to have floods the
enemy going to come against you and it’s
going to rise he said it’s going to be
noisy it’s like when I was in Florida
last last week I was on the beach there
and the wind was blowing it was rather
warm but the all night long left the
window open you can hear these big wavs
pounding the beach pounding the beach
the tide was coming in and he said the
noise there’s going to be wave after
wave the waters are going to
rise the waters are going to rise and
you’re going to see fear on all side
you’re going to have trouble you’re
going to have perplexity there’s going
to be
fear the floods have lifted up oh Lord
the floods have lifted up their voice
the floods lift up their
ways now how look at me please how do
you deal with this flood when fears come
in and flood your mind when you think
you’re going down when you think you’re
not going to make it when you think
you’re going to fail God or you’ve not
measured up when the enemy comes in and
tells you that you’re you’re unworthy
you’re Unholy you’re no good you’ll
never get it what do you do when the
enemy comes in like a flood you see the
Lord raises up a standard but let me
show you what that standard
is look at verse one the Lord reth he is
clothed with Majesty the Lord is clothed
with strength where where with he hath
girded himself look at me please that
word gird is a military term it means to
get clothe for battle and put on your
sword and go forth and here’s what God
is saying when the he the the Lord is
picturing the flood is coming in on his
people and the heavenly father says to
his son to Christ who King who sits
ruler he is King of the flood that’s
what the Bible
said he’s King of the flood the Lord
Lord on high is King of the flood here
here it is the Lord is clothed with
strength where with he have GED himself
and he’s put on his armor and set for
battle look at me please I’m going to
put it in one little paragraph for you
this is the only way I see for
Christians to overcome their fears you
have to have a Clear Vision a Clear
Vision that your lord and
savior is standing by
his eyes on your flood his eyes on you
you have to have a clear vision of what
God has promised
here I’ve not ignored you I see where
you’re at I see what you’re going
through look at me he says I have GED
myself I put on my
armor I have my sword in
hand and then read what it says verse
four the Lord on high is mightier than
the noise of many Waters y than the
mighty waves of the sea Hallelujah God
says get your eyes off the flood get it
on me I’ve got my sword in hand I am
more powerful I am mightier than all
your floods I’m bigger than all your
fears get your eyes off your
fears he said I’ve guarded myself you
Lord I that hit me I could hardly sleep
I picture my Lord standing over me sword
in hand
he knows how far it can go and no
further he’ll come and slay the dragon
in his
time he’s saying now you just stand
still and see the salvation of the Lord
you just put your trust in me right now

afraid I’ve GED myself with
strength folks You Can’t Fight The Devil

hand he’s my strength he’s my delivery

habit of neglect because it’s a habit
and once sets in it’s hard to break but
if you will go whether you feel like it
or not and you set your heart and say
God you’re going to have to help me with
this because I can’t do it in my
flesh folks I know preachers who don’t
read this book at all except to go to
get a sermon I know preachers who don’t
pray I talked to in fact the young man
young preacher who came to me who fell I
looked him right now I said I tell you
why you went back to
drugs I said for two years before you
fail you didn’t read this book you
weren’t praying you weren’t seeking God
and he bought his head in Christ said
you’re right he said I totally neglected
the Lord I got too
busy that’s why he fell and that’s how
you’ll fall so ask God to put it in your
heart now that you’re going to be a
student of this I’m asking you to read
five chapters from the Psalms every day
I’m asking you to read at least two
chapters from the New Testament and the
Old Testament every day

it that’ll keep you in the flood that’s
coming Hallelujah father give us a
church give us a church that is diligent
Lord in the study of your word diligent

just all night prayer PR meetings not
just prayer meetings in the church but
