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.

learn more about the church about the
ministry here now let’s get to the
message getting out of Sodom I once
heard a minister say in essence the Old
Testament is no longer relevant to our
modern times so that no you studying
it how wrong he is how wrong he is I
love the Old Testament because it
explains the New
Testament if you want to fully
understand the New Testament you have to
go into the Old Testament you’ll find
the shadows and the types and the
patterns the examples and lived out in
Practical life and all of our spiritual
battles are mirrored in their physical
battles very clearly for example Israel
represents the believer in the Old
Testament Israel is the new believer in
the New Testament Egypt in the Old
Testament is a type of the world in the
New Testament the Wilderness journey is
a type of our Christian walk uh the
battles of Israel type of our spiritual
warfare the tree that was thrown in the
waters of mar type of the cross the rock
that was smitten and out came water as a
type of Christ who was smitten at the
cross the Bible says now all these
things happened unto them for examples
and they are written for our
admonition they are for our teaching
upon whom the ends of the world are come
in Hebrews we’re warned don’t fall after
the same example of unbelief go into the
Old Testament learn your lessons there
and don’t make the same mistakes in
other words in fact even the Tabernacle
the furniture the priest everything in
the Old Testament the Bible says was
example and Shadow of heavenly things
the things that we face
today now it’s been my practice if I
couldn’t fully understand or comprehend
a new testament truth I go into the Old
Testament and find the literal
uh figure of it I find the example of it
learn now for example if you want to
learn about your spiritual walls that
Satan is erected to try to ruin your
life or your walk with Christ you you go
into the story of Joshua and how the
walls of Jericho came down and you
learned incredible lessons by the very
practical lived out experiences in the
Old Testament if you want to learn about
keeping your anointing you go into uh
judges in Samuel and you you learn
especially about son and how he lost his
anointing it’s that clear now in keeping
with that I want to by the way if you
want to learn about prevailing prayer
you go to
Jacob and the wrestling with the angel
you see you go to the Old Testament if
you don’t understand and the Old
Testament gives light to the uh truth
that you’re trying to comprehend in the
New
Testament
now the Bible says in 2 Peter 2:6 God
turned Sodom into ashes condemning them
with an overthrow making them an example
unto those that afterward should live
ungodly God says now there’s a purpose
in what I did to Sodom this Burning Down
of Sodom this dealing with sin in Sodom
is a lesson to the whole society every
society in history up to the last day
there are lessons to be learned from
this and keeping with what I’ve just
outlined I want to go back back with you
into Genesis and to the Old Testament
and I want to open up a powerful New
Covenant truth I’ve been studying the
New Covenant in the past two years and
especially in the past year and God has
opened up a new covenant truth and I
didn’t fully understand it till I went
back into the Old Testament began to see
the type and I want you to follow me
closely I’m setting uh a foundation for
the truth
now actually the New Covenant is is all
about getting you out of Sodom and
getting Sodom out of you and getting you
up in a mountain in the presence of the
Lord that’s what the New Covenant is
it’s getting the world out of you it’s
the power to break your habits the power
to break the lust that is in your heart
and get you out of the bondage and the
cords that bind you and get you out and
say don’t turn around don’t turn back
until you get to the mountain and that’s
what the New Covenant is about you find
this type in Genesis the 19th
Chapter and here we find a righteous man
by the name of lot living where he
shouldn’t live He’s living in a wicked
vile City whose sins had reached into
heaven whose sins had grieved a holy God
and he said enough I’m going to burn it
I’m going to Scorch the city and that’s
what Sodom means in Hebrew scorched or
burnt now we think of Sodom we talk
about the Old Testament being a type of
the new we say well what does Sodom
represent and most of us think of Sodom
as representing well that could be San
Francisco with all of its uh militant
homosexual in yourface
community oh they said no no no that
that’s uh New Orleans with its Wicked
vile
MRA or no it’s New York City with all of
its greed and its
violence New York City and we think of
as a literal City no there was a literal
Sodom but the spiritual significance of
it is that Sodom today is in our hearts
it’s right here we were born with a
sodomite nature scripture makes that
very very clear you don’t have to go
beyond your own heart to find Sodom in
heart David said you work wickedness the
Bible said we were conceived in iniquity
we have the Adam nature which is the
Sodom nature it is we were born with
this we were created in iniquity David
said there was pride and hatred in the
heart frowardness in the heart idolatry
lies in the heart in Proverbs says the
heart is where wickedness is devised
it’s schemed out of the heart Jesus
himself said for out of the heart
proceed evil thoughts murders adulteries
fornications thefts false witness
blasphemies these are the things that
defile a
man that’s proof enough for me that you
don’t have to look beyond your heart to
find the spirit of
Sodom now God himself calls lot a
righteous
man but this righteous man was not where
he should be this righteous man had a
problem he was bound by a cord and he
couldn’t get out he couldn’t shake it he
couldn’t cut it in his own strength and
his own power I don’t know how many
times he may have promised because of
the vexing of his soul what he saw and
heard in Sodom I don’t know how many
times he said next week or tomorrow I
don’t know if he’s ever tried to pack
his bags and go and got a little ways
and came back I don’t I don’t know but I
know he didn’t have the power he didn’t
have the will he was decaying morally
Sodom was in his heart Sodom had
corrupted him you’ll see this very
clearly as the story
unfolds he should have fled the city he
should have said If I Stay much longer
in this iniquity
it’s going to lay hold of me and cost me
everything and I see this a type of the
Old Testament believer under the old
Covenant he hears the law the the law
says blessed is the man that walketh not
in the counsil of the ungodly and
standeth in standeth not in the way of
Sinners and sth not in the seat of the
scornful the law comes and describes the
perfect obedience that God demands
and then man tries in his own strength
and his own power to get
out you will find in the 14th chapter of
Genesis uh a Confederate Army coming
against Sodom and Gomorrah and in this
battle Sodom and his Kings Kings of
Gomorrah and zo lose the battle and this
invading Army carries away loot his
family and all the inhabitants of Sodom
and all the loot all the riches
everything and Carries away and they’re
carried away
captive Abram a man of God with 318 of
his servants finds out and he he goes
after this Army and through a miraculous
working of God’s power he overcomes the
enemy and the scripture says that he
took lot and his goods and his riches
and all the riches of the city and
restored them and they returned to
Sodom now here was an opportunity for
Sodom to get out before this he he had
been warned he he had been told to get
out but he goes right back to Sodom
after his deliverance and the picture in
the spirit now get this please a perfect
picture that you cannot be delivered
from any habit from any Sin from any
Sodom in Your Heart by the hand of man
not yours or anybody else’s not a Godly
preacher as Godly as Abraham nobody can
get you out he got him out temporarily
and all you get through your self effort
and struggle to defeat your own sin is a
temporary release and you go right back
to your sin you’ll make God a thousand
promises you’ll sin confess sin confess
and go back to your
sin because no human hand can deliver
you from the power of Satan you can’t
get out of Sodom by Abraham not a
Praying preacher I don’t care how much
God be preaching you
here I don’t care how many people pray
for you I don’t care how much how many
promises you make to your flesh you Cann
not get out of Sodom on your own
strength and power through striving and
making
promises Paul called the law a yoke upon
the neck which neither we or our fathers
now we were able to
Bear you see lot has been given an
altimate him God says get out of the
city and he can’t run he lingers he has
no power he’s deluded he’s
blind because folks we’re talking about
God’s interest here is has to do with a
Believer a man that he calls righteous
forget the sodomites right now we’re
focused on a man called l living in a
wicked environment living in a wicked
City but he’s got a problem he’s not a
free
man I’m talking about Christians living
in this generation who love God as this
man did trying to stand up stand up
morally in the midst of an unclean
generation and and yet there’s something
there of Sodom in the
heart it can be a an act of adultery it
can be uh acts of fornication it can
there’s a whole lot of things we’re
going to see here in just a few moments
I don’t know what it is that’s bind you
but that’s
Sodom that’s the spirit of Sodom that is
still in the heart binding you you’re
not free you know that anyone within the
sound of my voice that now has a secret
sin in your heart you know you’re bound
no has to tell I don’t have to remind
you you know you’re
bound you can never come into the
fullness of Christ you’ll always be on
the border of the blessing that God has
ordained for you but you’ll never enter
the
fullness you will always have a sense of
of Despair you always have a sense of of
the wrath of God hanging over your head
and never be
free I speak to a lot of people here
this
morning there’s a type of many righteous
Believers today who by Fai Faith have
the imputed righteousness of Christ oh
yes they they are righteous that
righteousness is by faith and it’s
imputed and they have that righteousness
they truly love God but and they’re even
vexed by the sin in the society they
they hate what they see all around them
but there’s something still in the heart
they hear the law saying lay aside you
be setting
sin the wages of sin is death hear the
conscience screaming
you hear God’s word saying lay aside
your besetting sin here comes the law
demanding obedience here comes the
conscience
condemning and you say I want I am bound
and yet there’s no power there there’s
no strength to break it because you keep
going back and back and making God
promises your your conscience cries the
law cries guilty condemned
now under the old Covenant absolute
obedience was demanded there was no
allowance for the slightest Disobedience
the soul that sinned the Bible said died
there was no provision for the strength
to obey under the old Covenant the law
made sin exceedingly sinful but the
Bible said it’s a school Master you see
you can go to school the teacher can
teach you but he cannot impart the power
for you to learn that’s done by
experience that’s done by everyday walk
making it work into your very being
taking those lessons and applying them
to the life the Bible makes it very
clear you you say well brother Dave why
would God demand perfect obedience and
they not give power to comply to his
Commandments the Bible makes it very
clear that that God had a purpose he had
to bring man to the place where he
realized he had no power in
himself no power to deliver himself it
took God over 400
years to teach Israel that they couldn’t
be their own savior that he had to have
a redeemer that had to have God come and
deliver
them 400 years before they could
learn that they couldn’t break the power
of their slave masters in their own will
and their own strength it took got 400
years to teach it and it took God
centuries right up to the time of
prophet Zachariah to teach the
Israelites and the old Covenant people
under the old Covenant it took God
hundreds of years to bring the people to
believe that his Redeemer was needed out
of
Zion that he wanted to be a wall of fire
round about them that all of these
little walls they were building were
come tumbling down and they couldn’t
depend on those walls that they needed
total dependence on the heavenly father
that he’ the fire around them and the
glory
therein and some people still have not
learned that lesson they’re still under
the law they’re still striving making
promises I call it the can do man you’ve
heard me preach it I can do it give me a
few more
tapes few more
seminars somewhere I’m going to Rally
the
strength somehow maybe God will allow
some little thing in my life that’ll
shake me up maybe through providential
slight we don’t want a big Jud we want a
little judgment just a
nudge said no no no
no God had to bring man to the place
where he had to cry out I am
hopeless helpless as a
baby I have no place to turn it’s to
drive us to the cross driv
us
hallelujah now to you who are sitting
here this morning
saying hallelujah this sermon doesn’t
belong to
me because you see I don’t I’m not a
homosexual I’m not lesbian I don’t drink
I don’t smoke I don’t curse I don’t for
I’m not having a secret affair there’s
no fornication I feel pretty good so far
I’m going to settle down and enjoy
this you couldn’t be more
mistaken when the word says lust
conceives and it brings forth it’s
talking about a
womb only a womb conceives only a womb
brings forth let me tell you something
every sin you commit is born in the womb
of lust and that womb is in here no man
sins except it comes from the womb of
his own lust
hear me please and it and it say no two
babies are alike no two lusts are alike
Your Lust may be different than mine but
there is a lust in us that is always
striving against the Holy Ghost because
the Holy Ghost see the Holy Ghost is not
interested in dealing with particular
sins he’s going for the womb he goes to
the womb that’s the power of the Holy
Ghost he goes to the seat the WB the
thing that conceives
it but you say well I I I’m not
conceiving that oh listen the Holy Ghost
is always going down into the gut of
that womb down into the center of that
womb and killing the seed the first
thought but what what about I don’t know
what is being conceived in your heart
but I’m going to tell you we we wink at
some of the things that God doesn’t wink
about at all they come right out of the
womb of lust just as much as pornography
or any other lust that has to do with
seeking the Praises of
men man pleasing a drive for Power
Authority the need to be revered by our
peers roving eyes evil
imagination you can be proud of who you
are in
Christ to the point that it’s
sin you can be proud of your prayer life
until it’s
boasting you can be guilty of the sin of
coveting position you can be proud of
your spiritual knowledge or your
spiritual Roots you can be guilty of
seeing yourself as a humble kind
teachable person when you’re reading
not I learned that the hard way in the
past few years God the Holy Ghost really
been dealing with me I look back over my
past life and my Ministry I started
preaching when I was a
teenager and and over 50 years of
preaching you know I look back and the
Holy Ghost in in past months I’ve had to
weep in the presence of God now I know
Paul it’s Paul gave his good advice for
getting those things that are
behind but sometimes I I have to examine
myself as the scripture says and see
where I’m at now compared to where I
used to be and I I I was blessed I I
would be preaching in uh Ro Albert Hall
in London to thousands and all over the
world and I would I would go to
conferences and ministers conference and
I always usually the main speaker and I
I would I I I thought I was probably one
of the most was humble non
assuming I wasn’t impressed by people or
big shots and I would walk in you know
poor little David and I never smiled I
had CU I I was too anointed to
smile I had this sense of being destined
Destiny hanging over my head
folks I won’t take back anything God did
he used
me but I look back now and I know he
used me only by his Mercy because I
wasn’t what I thought I was and only
looking back now with a little bit of
wisdom do I know what I was I was
cocky I mouthed off there were things
that I look back now and I see that make
me grieve inside and I have to listen to
Paul forget it otherwise it would bring
me down I I’d be in Despair and I hope
he’s teaching me those lesson but you
see there’s so many things hidden in us
and until the Holy Ghost turns the light
on we don’t see them we can sit in a
meeting like this and say well well I
I’m just fine everything’s fine and yet
still have some Sodom burning in our
very spiritual
being I got to move on
the Holy Spirit has shown me three
Covenant truths in this Old Testament
type and I want to show them to you and
I believe these are the three secrets to
getting out of Sodom and getting Sodom
out of you and I speak to myself first
of all if you listen to these three
Covenant truths I promise you you’re you
can be free you can be free this morning
you can walk out of this church this
morning no more Bound by the court of
any sin I don’t care if you what it is
pornography as I told you I’ve had
pastors back here asked me to pray for
them about pornography and have a
briefcase with them and I knew it’s full
of pornography they ask me to pray for
me full of pornography I tell I got
something here you’ll lay down that
briefcase you want to be free all right
number one follow me very closely we
have got to take god seriously that he’s
determined to burn all of Sodom out of
us God is serious about our
sin there Comes A Time When God says
enough
enough you’ve got to come to this place
Genesis 1820 The Cry of their sin The
Cry of Sodom had come up before him
because the sin had been very Grievous
in the eyes of the Lord and now listen
to me please you can never be delivered
from your besetting sin from habit from
any lust you cannot be delivered until
you come to this agreement with God
you’ve got to see as God does my sin has
come up before high heaven my sin is
Grievous before a holy God you’ve got to
come to that you can’t explain it away
you can’t excuse it you face the reality
my sin is an Abomination to
God my sin is reached high heaven and it
Grieves the Holy
Ghost you’ve got to come to a place
where you say this thing that is in me
born out of my own lust if I keep
yielding to this temptation it’s going
to cost me my life and that was the
warning get out before you’re consumed
with this
iniquity lot did not take These Warnings
seriously he was warned arise get out of
this place let thou be consumed in the
iniquity of this
city beloved we love to hear the
preaching of mercy and Grace there has
been tremendous preaching of God’s
loving kindness from this
Pulpit we have preached from every
conceivable angle about the mercy and
the grace of God from this Pulpit I’ve
preached a lot of Mercy in this past two
years especially the loving kindness of
the Lord the grace we love to hear that
preaching in fact God spoke to Moses
when he revealed his own nature and he
said the Lord God merciful gracious long
suffering abundant in goodness and Truth
keeping Mercy for thousands forgiving
iniquity and transgressions and sin
thank God for the mercy of the Lord
where would we be without it but the
very next word listen to the very next
word and he will not by any means clear
the
guilty God said I will not wink at any
sin I don’t care who you are I’m not
going to wink at your sin I’m a merciful
god and I’ll be longsuffering I’ll be
merciful I’ll be patient but there’s
going to come a time that Sodom has to
burn there going to come a time that I
have reached the end of my patience with
your
sin now we know that lot didn’t take God
Ser God’s warning seriously because he
slept so soundly the angel had to wake
him
up the wondrous sons-in-laws laughed
they’re saying you don’t take it
seriously you sleep right through if you
really believed this you’d be on your
way out of here you wouldn’t be around
here you’d be gone you don’t believe it
why should we believe
it go ahead and try to witness about the
coming of Jesus but if you’re living
like Jesus is coming nobody going to
listen to
you here here is a man face to face with
the warning from God face to face with
the warning of
God it’s all
over get up this is the hour this is the
moment for deliverance you can’t sleep
on this anymore this is
it but you see lot didn’t want to be
delivered right
now it’s time to get up but he the Bible
says he lingered he lingered now I
believe in what I call Divine ultimatums
I believe this you’ll find it all
through the book Old Testament New
Testament you’ll find
it they’re they’re warned in the New
Testament Church not to grieve the Holy
Ghost and yet Anan and fire grieve and
lie the Holy Ghost and they drop dead
the ultimatums are all through the New
Testament even in the day of Grace and I
believe in this and the Divine ultimatum
comes when the Holy Ghost
recognizes that your sin is so consumed
you and so overpowered you that it’s
going to bring you to
destruction and before it destroys you
God has to come with his ultimat say
wait a minute I’m a God of Grace and I
want to deliver you I want you out of
this and I want you to have freedom and
I want you on the
mountain I want you in my presence I
want to bless you I want to favor you
but I’m telling you now and I’m telling
you that ultimatum comes through the
preaching of the word of God often it
comes through a friend who comes through
reading the book and convicted by the
Holy Ghost you read something it touches
you it’s a that pierces the marrow of
the
bone and the Holy Ghost is giving alats
right now the sound of my voice is
giving you an altim he does it lovingly
he’s a god of Mercy but he’s saying I
have warned you and warned you I’ve
spoken and spoken I’ve even Chast Chas
you I’ve slapped your wrist I have sent
a form of judgment to you and now I’m
telling you out of Sodom or you will
burn with
iniquity it will destroy you you’ll go
down with Sodom
how many preachers are there right now
living in deep sin who once had
anointing would give anything to a sat
in a congregation one day when a
prophetic voice said now out and been so
convicted by the holy ghost that allowed
the Holy Ghost to grip their heart but
this man’s been given that ultimatum and
he
lingers Steven faced the priesthood that
had been worn Time and Time Again by the
Holy Spirit and Steven said you still NE
uncircumcised in heart you do always or
continually resist the Holy Ghost as
your fathers did so do you keep on
resisting the Holy Ghost saying
now
Sodom is going to burn it’s all over I
want you out I want you free
Hallelujah Bible says grieve not the
holy spirit of God by which you are
sealed to the day of redemption the
Bible says in Acts 10:3 for God is no
respector of persons means God doesn’t
play favorites he’s totally impartial
impartial has to do with his blessings
and his judgments he’s totally impartial
I don’t care how much you pray you can
pray six 8 10 hours a day you you can
read your Bible through five times a
year you can you you can give your body
to be burned at the stake you can give
and help people you can do all of these
wonderful works
but if you’re not going to agree with
God about your sin if you’re going to
keep harboring this thing that God is
after to give you total freedom God
can’t really enjoy your presence and you
can’t enjoy his until you free has to do
with perfect
Fellowship God says I’m no respector
person he says I’m going to deal with
you and you’ve got to come to that place
folks we we have a whole generation that
is running everywhere wanting to hear a
mercy message a Grace message yes God is
merciful I thank God for that in fact
you can’t understand the the power of
God and the glory of the New Covenant
tell you understand mercy and Grace
thank God for his grace but there comes
the time God says you’re going to have
to agree with me about what I see in you
just reach my
heart I see it and it Grieves me and if
I let you go on it’s going to kill you
so you better hear me and he sends the
Holy Ghost and gives the older maum that
many of you very quietly powerfully
receiving from a loving Pastor right now
God saw what you did last night he saw
what you did last week he knows what has
your heart and he said I want you free I
want you with me on the
mountain and if you allow the Holy Ghost
to deal with that you’ve taken your
first step toward
Freedom you have taken your most
important step to toward freedom because
you’re no longer taking sin
lightly number two stop trying to make a
deal with your
sin lot tried and
failed he tried to delay his moment of
Deliverance he tried to delay his
escape from Sodom you see the sodomites
surrounded lot’s
house they’re pounding on the door
trying to force entrance
they screaming obscenities evidently lot
uh was a judge sitting at the gate
because I said you would come here and
be a
judge he he probably had tried to set an
example and they are knocking on the
door saying send those men out to us and
for the purpose ready to sodomize
them lot goes out the
door and tries to make a bargain he
tries to deal he tries to make a deal
and here’s the deal he said look you
know I’m a man of hospitality that’s his
reputation you know I’ve been Hospital
among you I’ve been very hospital I’ve
got two men that are visiting here and I
I want them to enjoy our hospitality and
I’ve got two daughters I tell you what
I’ll send them out to you you do with
them what you please now this man is
he’s no dummy he knows they’re gay he
not going to touch the
daughters he’s figuring they’ll go out
and party tonight they he these are
sodomites they don’t
want heterosexual sex they want
homosexual sex so he’s he’s trying to
expulse one sin with another that he
thinks more powerful he’s trying to
drive out one sin with another he’s
going to drive out a homosexual sin with
a heterosexual sin it’s like a pastor
who wants to conf finded to me years ago
he was having an affair and he said
purposely he set out to find somebody
else because he was so hooked on this
woman find somebody out we less of a
problem easier for him to break away so
he brought in another woman to drive out
this other
woman you can’t make a deal with your
sin you can’t make a bargain you can’t
put borders because every time you say
this far no further it spills over its
border you cannot put borders you can’t
put limits on sin it always breaks out
of its
borders and he is thinking as well now
wait a minute they’ll go out no party my
daughter will come home unscathed
tomorrow and and these angels will see
sodom’s not so bad after all his
reputation is going to be intact his
Hospitality man and he still gets
Sodom and that’s what a lot of people
would like they would like to have the
mercy and he’s thinking God is a god of
Mercy I know he sent AB he delivered me
once he’ll deliver me again he saved
Sodom once he’ll save Sodom
again and how many times have you been
brought through it God in his Mercy
forgave you came the blessing of God the
anointing Came Upon you right in the
meeting God’s still with me ask Samson
about
it how many times did he flirt before
suddenly the spirit had
gone you can’t make a deal with your
sin you can’t bargain with it
you know my friend the great prophet
Leonard Raven Hill wrote a book called
Sodom had no Bible that’s true I agree
with that but Sodom had something else
Sodom had one of the most powerful
sermons ever preached to
mankind Sodom had an example very few
people have ever had they saw a holy man
a holy man walk among them and they
watched him
worship they watched him pay tithe to
MDC they had the testimony of a man who
says when they ask to reward him he says
I don’t even want to touch a shoelace
from
Sodom this man set an example that
should have sent shutters through lot
should have sent here’s a man who
doesn’t want to touch anything in our
society what’s wrong with us there would
there should have been conviction a
powerful sermon was preach don’t tell me
he didn’t have
gospel lot’s not ready to face reality
he’s trying to put off the time of
Reckoning he’s dragging out the Moment
of
Truth keeps trying to make a
deal folks I’m talking about how to get
out of your besetting sin I’m talking
about how to get out of this thing
that’s laid hold on you’ve been fighting
for so long and God says now I want you
free no deals no Bargains it has to
go no excuses anymore
no trading off one lighter sin for
heavier
sin it has to
go all right if you if you’re ready to
take those two steps right now you agree
with God that your sin is
Grievious and you’re willing to stop
making deals and excusing
it and trying
to substitute good
works to cover up your sin if you’re
at that place then you’re ready for the
most powerful New Covenant truth God has
ever given his people in the word and I
had to go in the Old Testament to find
it in the story of lot do you understand
and here’s the third thing lot never got
out of Sodom on his own he never did he
would have died in that Holocaust if
Jehovah himself hadn’t come down and
literally taken him by the hand and you
look at this confused man he’s blind
he’s confused he’s deluded by the
deceitfulness of sin and yet God says
he’s got right he’s a righteous man he
loves God and so go it’s not just
because Abram prayed because Abraham
prayed for five righteous people and he
couldn’t find 10 righteous people and he
couldn’t find
them it wasn’t just the prayers of Abram
it was the absolute mercy of
God this was a type of the New Covenant
and how God you see under the New
Covenant God demanded even more perfect
righteousness than under the
old be you holy be you perfect he
demands Holiness there’s no excuse God
doesn’t win at sin less now than ever
under the New Covenant he demands
absolutely Obed Absolut being but under
the New Covenant he gives you all the
power you need to comply to every
command every demand of the Gospel he
sends the Holy
Ghost if ye through the holy ghost do
mortify the Deeds of the flesh you shall
live through the Holy Ghost the power of
the Holy
Ghost and when he’s being led out he he
turns to the one who has him by the hand
it’s not the angel in fact he he turns
to him and says Lord don’t let send me
to the mountain I want to go to Zoar and
he calls him Lord and in the original
it’s adanah it was Jehovah supreme ruler
in Hebrew
it was Jehovah himself came down and
said I’m not going to let you die in
this Holocaust I love you your righteous
man I’ve warned you now come on and he
grabs him by the hand and pulls him
out oh Hallelujah he would have died in
that
Holocaust folks the Bible said while we
were without strength Christ died
without an ability without a will with
nothing Christ died for us
then oh folks all you have to do is say
I hate my sin all you have to do is say
oh God I Want to Be Free oh God no more
excuses I agree with you Lord my Sinners
reached high heaven and turn to him with
all of your heart say Lord I’ve had
enough this lingering and and flirting
and playing around now holy ghost come
give me your word Holy Ghost come take
me out I promise you he’ll come he will
come and deliver you
[Music]
Hallelujah this
man
is still not
ready to be alone with God because you
see it’s on the mountain he said escape
to the
mountain you know the mountain is where
Peter James and John saw Christ
transfigured
you know that the mountain represents
the presence of God and the glory of God
Jesus went to the mountains to pray I’ll
look to the hills the mountains from
when cometh my help great is the Lord
and greatly be praised in the mountain
of his Holiness Isaiah said come you let
us go up to the mountain of the Lord for
there he will teach us his ways and then
we’ll walk in his paths to the mountain
but this man is not ready for the
presence of God yet and he says send me
to Zo and God God in his Mercy lets him
go to zor his wife looks
back his wife looks back God says if you
want Deliverance if you want to be
free the
moment my spirit comes upon you and I’m
bringing you out of this you’re sensing
the freedom and you’re knowing in your
heart that he’s delivered you the
desires are leaving New Hope is arising
faith is
coming and and let Let Me Take You Now
into the New Testament type that’s the
Old Testament type now let me take you I
want you go to Second Peter before I
close I want you go to Second Peter the
first chapter now we’ll see it in the
New Testament and this is what I didn’t
understand until I went into the Old
Testament second Peter first chapter
all
right here we go verse three and four
according as his divine power had given
unto us all things that pertain unto
life and godliness through the knowledge
of him that has called us to glory and
virtue whereby are given unto us
exceeding great and precious promises
that by these you might be partakers of
the divine nature having what escaped
where we’re talking about escaping Sodom
escaping the corruption that is in the
world through
lust all right look at me please let me
try to in next two or three minutes just
boil this down to the simple truth you
see you can’t understand that until you
go to the Old Testament you see it in
lot you see it in Jehovah coming down
and taking him out now listen to you
want out where is the secret where is
the power to get out the Bible makes it
very clear right here and now that it’s
truth that sets us free the Bible says
his divine power was given to them
through that produced life and
godliness they were able to break the
power of sin through great and precious
promises administered by the Holy Ghost
anointed by the Holy Ghost folks here is
where the faith comes from by hearing
the word of God not just by reading it B
praying God give me an understanding you
go to these great and precious promises
go to the New Covenant God says I’ll
take the heart is Stone out of you and
I’ll give you a new heart I’ll be a God
to you I’ll be merciful to your
iniquities but he said I’ll be a God to
you you’ll be a people to me and folks
when I hear God say I’ll be God to you
that means that He sent Jesus with all
the godhood in him everything I need for
godliness and Holiness and to walk free
from sin is in Jesus Christ my Lord and
I I get it by faith standing on his
promises
God said I will deliver you I’ll keep
you from iniquity I’ll keep you from
falling I’ll present you faultless
before the Throne of God with exceeding
great joy I will do it I will do
it if you will lay hold of my word you
see the Ang the Jehovah had to lay hold
on him and pull him out the Bible said
Jehovah Lord laid hold on him and pulled
him out these promises have to lay hold
of you they you have to allow them to
lay hold of you and say God I’m going to
search your word I do that every day I
search the word for his promises of
keeping his promises of blessing his
promises of fulfillment of fullness I
lay hold of that say God I’m going to
risk my life I Lay My Life on this I
stand on your Living
Word you get the word in your heart he
said you’ll not sin against him you lay
hold of these promises and let them lay
hold of you and they will lead you out
of Sodom
simple enough nothing complicated about
it flee from Sodom arise flee stop
lingering run to the mountain oh he
finally made it there but because he
took uh a detour you know what happened
on that
mountain something worse than
Sodom happened on that mountain because
this man
this man though delivered would not move
on to the fullness of
God folks God wants us be in his the
fullness of Christ where there’s joy you
know something the joy that breaks out
when you’re free from the power of sin
and you’ve allowed the Holy Ghost to go
into that womb of
lust and
literally sweep it out so God go right
into the womb of my
lust lay hold of everything that’s
unlike
you take every cobweb take every black
stone take everything that’s in me take
it out I lay it open before you and
folks automatically The Joy will break
out in your life it’s unbelievable
that’s when spontaneous Joy you can
always tell when you go to a church
where people are getting free because
the joy is not Fain it’s not fake it’s a
genuine joy in God that you you can’t
describe there’s just the hand clapping
is real the praising is real everything
is real the smile is real the fellowship
is real because there’s no sin I I told
with this I close I told a pastor
recently of going to a friend’s church
and and and this dear friend of mine had
lost the anointing a number of years
before large church and and as soon as I
walked in he was surrounded by Elders
that were I had no other word but
sleazy everybody around now we’re un
godly people the choir director I I felt
my wife and I were there and I said
honey I I I’m suffocating I’m hurting I
feel like dying inside we found out
later he was a
homosexual he would had to be dismissed
from the ministry but you see the people
were trying so hard but it was empty the
singing was shallow the life was gone it
was death even though it was loud it was
dead because there was sin in the camp
God loves you he wants you to be free he
wants you to be free today today is your
red letter day and say God I agree with
you I’ve received my loving Divine
ultimatum Lord Jesus I want to come and
lay it at your feet I
resign I lay it
down God take me by the hand let these
promises lay hold of me you promis me
Lord that that if I would repent of this
I turn to you with all my heart and turn
to your word you’ll lead me out will you
stand
please now I know this kind of preaching
won’t make you shout right now it’ll
should get a shout in you
later it’ll put a shout in you
later
Hallelujah we preach like this because
we have to give an account of your
soul I have to give an account I’m going
to be judge what I preached here this
morning oh yes that makes me tremble I’m
going to answer God will replay this
message before his throne on Judgment
Day if if I don’t live what I
preach God’s dealing with me he dealt
with me through his word he’s dealing
with
you there need to be a full confession
Lord Jesus examine My Heart Holy Spirit
do that right now don’t let anybody turn
the search light away from them Lord
anyone that loves you should be praying
right now holy ghost turn on me holy
ghost look into my heart is there
anything of Pride ambition self roving
eyes any of these things that displease
you Holy
Spirit go into the womb of our lust go
into the womb Lord and cleanse it
Hallelujah deal with it Lord and bring
Victory because you do love your your
people you love them so much that you’ll
bring loving reproof and you will come
with a Divine ultimatum but that
ultimatum is meant to deliver from
destruction
Hallelujah wherever you’re at in this
house if the Holy Spirit I don’t care if
it’s in a choir I don’t care if it’s
here Upstairs Downstairs in the L
rotunda behind stage wherever you’re
seeing me now don’t come unless a spirit
draws you but if God nobody needs to
know why you come that’s the work of the
Holy Spirit Spirit that’s his business
nobody going to ask you any questions or
say anything to you you feel the drawing
of the Holy Ghost you come down here but
you come down here to agree with
God today is my day of Deliverance today
this can’t be put off another hour Lord
I want to be free today I come I
acknowledge my sin I want to be free I
want to be free coming close going to be
a lot of people coming up in the Cho up
upstairs go to either side exits on
either side and come down enjoy folks
going to to move real close move in
tight if you will please you here move
in tight God bless you if you’ve come to
the place where you’re just tired of
fighting the battle yourself if you’re
at the place where say I have tried and
tried and I have not been successful I
failed God in every promise I’ve
made I’m
tired I don’t know where to go I don’t
know what to do that’s
good you come to him then the law has
fulfilled its
work you’ve seen the exceeding
sinfulness of sin by the power of the
Holy Ghost and his word and you’ve seen
how utterly impossible like a little
baby in its mother’s arms you can’t feed
yourself you can’t protect
yourself you just have to rest in the
arms and I’m telling you now that’s
where God wants to bring you where you
realize that there is nothing good in
you there’s nothing that merits his
Mercy it’s absolute mercy and Grace and
loving kindness of Our Lord God says I
see what you’re going through if you’ll
come and lay this to me now if you agree
that your sin has grieved the Holy Ghost
you agree right now that you can’t
continue in it and let let that grip you
if I go on I’m going to be judged yes
you will if I go on it’s going to cost
me everything and that’s
true look I can’t pray for you until you
come to that place or I’m going to offer
you false
Comfort I can’t offer you comfort I
can’t offer myself Comfort till I know
that my sin’s going to be
judged but if I go on with it especially
after you’ve received the light then
there’s a Darkness settles in and a
Hardness of Heart that then finally you
can hear any message you can sit through
a message like this and be totally
unmoved totally unmoved and say well I
know where I am with God and that’s it
and that’s and it’s going in your sin
and god’ll let you
go because you’ve hardened your
heart but if you agree right now see I
don’t want you just screaming because
it’s going to cover up the
conviction I want you to look at it now
and say Lord I know you’ve seen my sin
and just grieved you and now it Grieves
me because I’m hurting you and I want to
be free Holy Spirit I come to your word
and I come to your promises you said if
I confess this sin now I acknowledge
that it’s grieved you and I come this
place where I’m not going to make any
deals and no Bargains about it this is
it Lord I heard you take my sin I’m
ready and if you’re not ready say Lord
make me ready and if you have that
hunger just that little desire if he
sees that desire he’ll come he’ll pull
you
hallelujah holy spirit I’m ask you right
now to let this go deep into all of our
hearts go deep into my heart Holy Ghost
show me your hatred for my sin you love
me but you hate my sin God you know what
sin would do to me what do to all of us
is going to bring
chaos and a burning a scorching
Lord is going to cost us for some it
cost marriages it cost homes it cost
everything they have and even their soul
for some
God I want you to pray this prayer with
me
