Precious Blood of the Lamb hallelujah

thank you Lord for your precious word in

amen how quickly we turn aside

why don’t you to go with me in your

imagination to the city of Jerusalem and

it’s a Sabbath and King

Soloman is about to take an incredible

trip his trips have been so incredible

when he went to the house of God that

the Queen of Sheba was breathless when

he she saw his Ascent it was so colorful

it was so spectacular just going to

church was spectacular for Solomon it’s

years later now and I want you to follow

Solomon is his Entourage he he traveled

in style this man had

1,400 specially made chariots he had

12,000

Horsemen uh this this man traveled in

great these were gilded uh chariots that

he traveled in can can you imagine this

man coming out of out of his Palace his

sparkling white granite palace and this

great Entourage going to the house of

worship what a sight I I picture his

Chariot being black gilded in Gold

Leaf and I I picture all the other

chariots and the horsemen with their

bright uniforms and the plumes and the

golden shields just the golden shields

had to be so blinding what an Entourage

it was and I want you to look at this

man coming out of his Palace he’s an

older man now and and he’s in

his Chariot and he’s with his Entourage

and he’s heading for the house of

worship but he he looks preoccupied he

looks

sad and there’s a woman at his side and

this is the daughter of pharaoh and

she’s smiling from ear to ear they’re on

the way to the house of worship and they

pass on the

way the landscape parks and the Lush

Vineyards that he had built built over

the years the Exotic Gardens and

Orchards of all kinds and they passed

ponds and fountains and a great City Zoo

with peacocks and apes and exotic birds

brought by the ships of Tarsus and he

passes sparkling government buildings

with Treasures of gold and silver and

art Collections and uh he he he he’s

built a Summer Palace a Winter Palace

this man is the wealthiest wisest man on

the face of to the

Earth and he passes all these gorgeous

buildings that he’s

erected and he comes near the Great

temple that great sparkling Temple that

he built to the glory of God some years

before and usually when the president

the United States travels uh people line

up when they know his where he’s going

uh I remember being over here just a few

blocks when President Clinton was there

and it was all blocked off the streets

were crowded because they said in about

an hour President Clinton’s going to

walk always they they were there just to

see him get out of his car in walking

into the Hilton Hotel streets were

crowded everywhere Solomon would go

those that came from Israel heard of his

Fame from around the world visit

Jerusalem they would find his uh tour

and they would line the streets but he

comes and approaches the temple the

Great temple that he built to the

Jehovah God where he had one time slew

12,000 oxx and 120,000 sheep one of the

greatest religious revivals in the

history of the Earth but there are no

crowds and the streets are not lined and

this man preoccupied and

sad and now he’s old because he’s lame

because of his sensuality he’s wasted

his life and he pulled up right by the

the entour goes right into the Avenue

leading to the Great temple but he

doesn’t turn he doesn’t even look there

are no crowds the doors are shut there

are no priests there to welcome him I

don’t even know if he gives it a second

thought I don’t know even if he

remembers the past glory and other the

things that God had told him because he

turns East and when he turns East it’s a

Boulevard and the scripture the real

name in the Hebrew is the mountain of

disgrace it’s called Embassy Ro by some

of the uh theologians because along this

great Embassy Road East of the temple he

has built these great temples to the

gods of his strange wives that he’s

married and the daughter of pharaoh is

smiling from ear to ear because she

turns and there’re looking down the

Avenue at the Great temple of Baal the

crowds have gathered people are in their

finery people are dressed in their very

best they’re going into all of these

various temples and shrines to these

gods of ASO and

milcom here’s this great King Solomon a

man who was one so touched by the Holy

Ghost he wrote 3003

songs a man of great power and wealth a

man who was once anointed of the Holy

Ghost because we have right now here in

the Canon of scripture his written word

the Bible said these words were written

by holy men of God as the spirit of God

moved upon them so the spirit of God had

moved mightily upon this man this man

had been gifted by God and you see the

crowds waiting now at this Temple and

you’re saying to yourself he’s going to

let her off and he’s going to go to his

Summer Palace but no the Chariots open

his guards stand there they roll out the

carpet and this man great Solomon with

Queen the with with the daughter of

pharaoh in front of him and there about

400 orange Rob priests

chanting here is the king and the

multitudes watches the king who once

took away the very breath of the Queen

of Sheba as she came to watch him just

watch his Devotion to his Jehovah God

how devoted she was absolutely it she

almost fainted at the sight of the glory

of the scene and now this man

dissipated a shell of a man the spirit

of God is

gone 400 Priests of Bal are

chanting this man walks into that Temple

and takes a place and kneels on one of

those oriental rugs and could can you

imagine this man of God kneeling there

while they sacrific their mice and their

pigs and they’re serpents and they’re

keeping

things and can you

imagine how this

man incomprehensible one of the most

incomprehensible things that ever

happened in all of God’s word he kns

before

milcom the detestable

god of the Heathen he kneels before him

do be do doing obeses the scripture said

his wives turned away his heart for came

about when Solomon was old his wives

turned his heart away after other gods

and his heart was not wholly devoted to

the Lord his God as the heart of David

his father had been for Solomon went

after asteroth the goddess of the

sidonians and after milcom the

detestable Idol of the

ammonites there he is

watching these priests sacrifice their

pigs just a few years before this the

same man had dedicated the Great temple

to Jehovah he had knelt before the Lord

humbly and stretched out his hands and

he had prayed oh God my Lord whatever

prayer is made by any man or by all the

people of Israel each knowing the plague

of his own heart and spreading his hands

toward this house hear thou in heaven

thy Dwelling Place and forgive all whose

Hearts thou knowest for thou alone does

know the hearts of all the sons of men

that they may fear thee all the days

they live he had commanded Israel this

very man had commanded Israel let your

heart therefore be holy devoted to the

Lord Our God to walk in all his statutes

to keep his Commandments all thy days

that was the preacher that was Solomon

the man of God who preached the word of

the Living God

what happens what happened to this man

that in such a short time he turned away

how is it that those who’ve been so

anointed of God can turn away turn away

from Jesus Christ turn away from the

Living God God said he turned aside now

the Lord was angry with Solomon because

his heart was turned aside he turned

away quickly in other words from the

Lord the god of Israel who appeared to

him twice his wives turned his heart

away now this story is so important

because he represents a righteous Spirit

anointed child of God who quickly turns

away and in the end is

[Applause]

destroyed let me give you what I believe

the Holy Spirit has given to me about

how men women of God have turned away

there are people that I can run it

through my mind right now that used to

sit here I know right where they sat

they praised the Lord they loved God

with all their heart they

worshiped and they’re not here

now some of them are in the arms of some

IL illicit lover some of them are out

now in the porno shops others are drunk

others are back on their drugs they’re

not here anymore people used to dance

here in the front they’re gone they have

turned quickly aside they’re gone there

are some of you here tonight you’re here

praising that I’m tell you one of these

days unless God fear gets all of your

heart tonight you’re going to quickly

turn aside you say could never happen to

me well it happened to this man here’s

the man who missed

Christ he missed Christ he was the type

of

Christ and he missed

it he’s he’s used in fact one scholar

found 100 ways in which Solomon was the

type of Jesus Christ 100

ways first of all Solomon turned aside

because he lost the fear of

God there was not a wiser man born on

Earth other than

Christ and God gave Solomon wisdom and

understanding exceeding much and largess

of heart he was wiser than all men and

he spoke 3,000 Proverbs and his songs

were 3003 and all the kings of the earth

came to hear his wisdom he himself had

said the fear of the Lord is the

beginning of all wisdom and the fear the

wisdom that he had had to have begun

with a reev ation of fear if he said the

beginning of all wisdom is fear the fear

of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom

so if God gave him wisdom he had to

first start with a revelation of the

fear of

God he preached listen to what he

preached the strange woman her feet go

down to death her steps lay hold of Hell

Solomon had once preached why should you

embrace the bosom of a foreigner you

will be held with the cords of your own

sins and you’ll die for lack of

instruction this man once warned of the

smooth tongue of the adulteress of the

strange woman let she trap you with the

her beauty and with her eyelids it will

cost you the substance of your house you

will groan in your latter days out of

his own mouth you’ll find the answers to

why he turned aside because he chose not

to maintain the fear of God he chose to

jettison he chose to ignore the fear of

God that had been planted in his heart

he himself had said the fear of God is

to hate

evil I made my words known unto you and

this is what God said to him I I made my

words known unto you you said it not all

my counsel you hated knowledge and did

not choose the fear of the Lord you

despise my reproof therefore you’ve

eating you’re eating the fruit of the

goings of your own way he himself said

the fear of God is to hate evil he

preached the fear of the Lord is a

Fountain of Life to depart from the

snares of death and Incredibly this man

said by the fear of the Lord men depart

from Evil how do you depart from Evil by

the fear of the Lord how is it that you

don’t go out and live like other people

what is it folks I know what keeps me

it’s the fear it’s not just the love of

God I know many people love God ply and

that doesn’t keep them from their sins

it’s balanced by this incredible fear of

God be thou in the fear of the Lord all

the day long Proverbs 23:17 all the day

long but Solomon deliberately cast aside

the fear of the Lord he turned aside to

riches and pleasure and mostly to lust

Solomon loved many strange women women

the scripture

says and when he was embracing these

Godless strange

women I wonder how many times the Holy

Spirit came to him and reminded

him her steps will lead you to Hell

Solomon Solomon you preached in the

latter days that you will grown you were

headed for death Solomon how many times

did he Shake It Off how many times when

we are in sin do we shake off the

conviction and when you shake off the

conviction of the Holy Ghost you’re

shaking off the fear of

God how is it

that so many can sit under the house of

in the house of God and hear the word so

many times and the Holy Spirit speak to

them so often about to besetting sin and

yet they keep shaking it off and shaking

it off and in that process little by

little losing the fear of God and

hardening their

heart it’s been the history of God’s

people folks to quickly turn aside to

idolatry and lust wanting to play rather

than to

pray it took only 40 days for the

children of Israel to shake off the fear

of God 40 days God appeared on Mount Si

with you remember that scene with

thunder and lightning and the piercing

sound of a Divine trumpet folks that

trumpet sound made Moses

tremble I can’t even conceive in my

finan mind what it’s like to hear a

trumpet blown from Heaven itself I can’t

imagine that scene it was awesome they

trembled they fell on their faces Bible

said they all trembled the smoke the

mountain was covered with smoke it was

it was a it was an incredible earthquake

the whole Mountain shaking a Divine

trumpet sound that lasted and lasted

till they covered their

ears and the people so trembled they had

to stand at a distance and Moses

explained to them why God allowed this

fearful display this incredible display

of his power and he explains the people

why God did it and folks I tremble when

I hear preachers who preach nothing but

Grace who who who don’t believe in

Judgment at all I tremble when they mock

Mount Si where where they mock the law

and said we passed we’re not at Mount Si

of course we’re not at Mount Si but the

law is good it has a purpose and God

shook that mountain and that was a

display that had a purpose for them and

for us

today Moses said to the people do not be

afraid for God has come in order to test

you in order that the fear of him will

remain in you so that you may not sin

against him he said God’s trying to

implant his fear in you to safeguard you

against your lust against your sin

that’s what it’s all about that you will

see that God can not be toyed with that

God is faithful that he’s a just and

holy

God that the fear of him May remain with

you so that you may not

sin

now just prior to

this Aaron nbu and 70 elders had just

come from the most a most awesome

experience that you can describe in the

word other than than the three men that

were on the Mount of transfiguration

this was

awesome they went up with Moses they saw

the god of

Israel and under his feet there appeared

to be a pavement of sapphire as clear as

the sky itself yet he did not stretch

out his hand against them and they

beheld God and they ate and drank they

ate and drank In God’s

Presence now

folks I would think that if I had eaten

and drunk in God’s presence and I had

seen him walk toward me on a sapphire

pavement I would have thought never

again in my lifetime would I do anything

to grieve such a God what a

vision and you would imagine that in

your own

heart and all Israel pledged

faithfulness to the Lord with great fear

and all the people answered together and

said all that the Lord has spoken we

will do and Moses brought back the word

of the people back to the Lord now I

want you to go to Exodus

3279 from 7 to9 ex I want you to go to

Exodus

32 how long

did they maintain the fear of God

anybody tell

me less than 40

days less than 40 days look at Exodus 32

verse vers 7 beginning to read and the

Lord said unto Moses go get thee down

for thy people which thou broughtest out

of the land of Egypt have corrupted

themselves God didn’t even at this point

want to acknowledge them as his own

people they have turned aside

quickly that was the name of my message

of recall how quickly we turn aside

verse eight they have turned aside

quickly out of the way which I commanded

them they have made them a molten calf

and have worshiped it and have

sacrificed their unto and said these be

thy Gods oh Israel which have brought

thee up out of the land of Egypt and the

Lord said unto Moses I’ve seen this

people and behold it is stiff necked

people now therefore let me alone that

my wrath May Wax Hot against them that I

may consume them will make of thee a

great

Nation Beloved listen to

me they quickly turned aside the

psalmist tells us why they soon soon

turned aside don’t turn there but Psalms

106 says they quickly forgot his Works

they waited not for his counsel because

they lusted exceedingly in the

wilderness they lusted exceedingly Paul

said now these things were written for

an example to the intent that we should

not lust after evil things as they also

lusted the key word is lust and here is

how he lost the fear of God

he allowed his lust to consume him it

was a lust after evil things and this is

what drowns out the fear of God Israel

got weary of the straight and narrow way

they got weary of reproof they wanted to

play the way was too tight and folks if

you go to a church that preaches the

gospel the way the Lord Jesus once it

preached there’s going to be reprove

you’re going to feel like you’re under

that yoke even though his yoke is not

heavy his burden is light you’re going

to be reproved you’re going to have

sometime the sword of the Lord come and

cut right through to your heart till you

bleed and it’s going to hurt and it’s

going to be painful but that’s the love

of God that’s to keep us in the fear of

God and God closed these doors if it

should ever come that there is not a

word like that that goes from this

Pulpit we believe in Mercy we preach

Mercy we preach Grace in this church we

believe it I looked over some of my old

sermons recently in every other sermon

was mercy and grace even though they

call this doomsday preaching here there

was mercy and Grace but there’s always

been a word of Repro and that’s a sure

sign that God loves us it’s a sure sign

that pastors love their people when they

get up unafraid to reprove and rebuke

when the holy spirit says

speak and it’s not the love of God to go

to some candy cotton Church where they

just flatter

you and they give you pablum and they

want your money but they’re afraid that

you’ll turn away and take your tithe

with them with you when you go because

they’re preaching a strong

message there will always be a message

in this church that’ll provoke you to

righteousness hopefully prayerfully for

all of

us but they wanted to play they got

weary of the warnings they wanted to

dance they wanted to play they wanted to

fornicate Solomon just had to have

beautiful women around him this man was

a lusting man this man was full of

lust folks we don’t turn aside to

nothing there’s either someone or

something that always takes the

heart what is it that has your heart

tonight what is it that God is dealing

with and says lay it

down God by his

spirit I pray myself I I I go God every

time I preach to preach myself under

conviction I want you and everyone in

this house to be under conviction so

that the thing the Holy Ghost brings to

your mind and you know it you say oh God

take this black stone out of my heart

take this one thing lest it consume me

lest I so play with it it so attach

itself to my heart that I lose the fear

of God I would rather die than lose the

fear of God in my heart I don’t want to

preach this gospel unless I have the

fear of God in my heart heart it’s been

the fear of God that’s kept me all these

years and I prayed even today God I’d

rather quit preaching than you ever let

me live or preach without the fear of

God burning in my heart and I fear

sometimes I don’t have it like I once

had it I desire it I pray oh God keep

your fear burning in my heart remember

young man coming to me when we were down

in the other theater he was uh was been

on drugs for a number of

years and he came to me after one of the

service and he was

pale he had just walked in he’d been out

and came in back after the service and

he was absolutely pale he said brother I

got to talk to you I got to talk to you

he said I I fell asleep and he said I’ve

just had it two our vision of hell I’ve

been to Hell and he was trembling he

said God showed me hell he he he said I

can’t explain it all but he said God

told me that he was showing me hell to

scare me out of my drugs and keep me

because there’s no other way and he said

I know God told me that if if hell this

vision of hell if this did not put the

fear of God in Me and I went back to my

drugs I di my sins and go to this place

and he said brother Dave I don’t want to

go to I saw it it’s frightening I the

thought of it is just overwhelming me I

can’t even explain I don’t want to talk

about it but I’ve been to

Hell two weeks later he’s on the spring

drugs I don’t know if he’s even alive

now the longer you play with your lust

the dimmer becomes the fear of God the

scripture said there is no more fear of

God within the heart of the

transgressor and you know what bothers

me in the church what is called the

church today there there is such a

lightness of preaching there’s such a

ridiculing of the Holiness Gospel of of

preaching that every time someone

preaches a strong message they cry

legalism I got a letter today my wife

showed me from somebody that goes to a

sinner Friendly Church rebuking me for

some of my recent newsletters that I

sent out around the country and and and

said look I came out of legalism and and

the message I preach folks there was

nothing strong about it at all it was

milk a baby wouldn’t have spit it out

and they CED you see that that’s that’s

the that’s the cry legalism

legalism well folks that cry has never

scared me off from preaching it and

I I I don’t pay any attention to the the

cry

legalism number

two Solomon forsook the written word of

God and relied instead on dreams and

voices folks I want to talk plain to you

tonight hear

it because if you don’t you’re going to

turn aside like Solomon the Lord

appeared twice to Solomon in dreams and

twice he heard the clear voice of God in

gibian he appeared to Solomon a dream at

night and God

said then another scripture says the

Lord appeared the second time to Solomon

and the Lord

said you hear it again and again and the

Lord said to him and the Lord said to

him he heard from Heaven through dreams

that those dreams did not keep him from

iniquity he did not read or heed the

written word of God in fact the word of

God was hidden during Solomon’s Reign

and was not found until Josiah’s Day by

heah the priest and it was hidden in a

basement dirty filthy uh Corners room it

had been hidden since Solomon’s

time and Solomon simply opened up

deuteron if Solomon simply read in he

had this in his

possession I want you to turn to what

could have saved his life and can save

yours in mind Deuteronomy

17 now he he had

this all he had to do was have a scribe

read it to

him David read it and hid it in his

heart verse 14 beginning to read

Deuteronomy 17:14 when thou art come

unto the land which the Lord thy God

giveth thee and shall possess it and

shall dwell therein and shall say I will

set a king over me like as all the

nations that are about me Thou shalt in

any wise set him King over thee whom the

Lord thy God shall choose one from among

thy Brethren sht thou set King over thee

thou mayest not set a stranger over thee

which is not thy brother listen now but

he shall not multiply horses to himself

this man had 12,000 horses from

Egypt nor caus the people to return to

Egypt to the end that he should multiply

horses he and the Bible even tells us

the price he paid for Egyptian horses

for as much as the Lord has said unto

you ye shall henceforth return no more

that way neither shall he multiply wives

to himself that his heart turn not away

neither shall he greatly multiply to

himself silver and

gold now folks it’s the Bible says that

God blessed him and prospered and gave

him all this wealth but God intended him

to use it to bless Nations and to use it

for those who are in need and not to

consume it on himself because the whole

Bible says

that it should be when he sth upon the

throne of his kingdom that he shall

write him a copy of this law and a book

out of that which is before the priest

Levites it shall be with him not in some

dusty room it shall be with him he shall

read therein all the days of his life

that he may learn to fear the lord his

God and keep all the words of this law

and these statutes to do them that his

heart be not lifted up above his

Brethren that he turn not aside from the

Commandments to the right and or to the

left to the end that he may prolong his

days in his kingdom he and his children

in the midst of

Israel oh listen do not turn aside if he

would only read Deuteronomy 28 do not

turn aside from any of the works I

command you today to the right hand or

the left to go after other gods if you

will not obey me and observe all that I

say I charge you that all these curses

shall overtake you the Lord shall send

on you curses confusion and rebuke in

everything you undertake to do now folks

that is important in light of what I

want to tell you right now look this way

if you will pleas the Bible predicts

that in the last day that a great

Falling Away coming that people are

going to turn away by multitudes it

predicts that the love of many is going

to grow and wax

cold multitudes are going to go that way

they’re going to turn aside because they

depend on voices and dreams and visions

and prophecies and not on the written

word of

God I had handed to me just last night

my wife reached thousands of letters and

my wife handed me a stack and I went

through it and I can’t believe I can’t

believe the lack of discernment I can’t

believe what people who call themselves

Christians are sending to me say isn’t

this a wonderful word you have to read

just half the page and realize it came

out of the pits of

hell it has a mixture of psychology

there are Christian psychic so-called

charismatic psychics that are standing

in the Pulpit now reading people’s lies

telling them their addresses and their

names and giving that folks the amazing

kesin did that on the Johnny Carson show

for the last 15

years there’s nothing new about

that we’ve got people right now who want

God to give them dreams and visions and

prophecy why would God speak you in a

dream a vision or prophecy or send you

to some man to get the word of God when

you won’t take the hours it takes to be

sh in with this book like Solomon should

have been where you get rooted and

grounded in this book where nobody can

shake you

a prophet comes to Paul who’s about to

go to Rome and agabus a wonderful man of

God

comes and the Bible says he took Paul’s

belt and bound his own feet and hands

and said this is what the holy spirit is

saying in this way the Jews in Jerusalem

will bind he was going to Jerusalem will

bind the man who owns this belt and it’s

very dramatic and all the Christians are

saying Paul don’t go but this man had

been shut in with God he knew the the

word of God and the command to go to

Jerusalem he knew the word Jesus had

revealed himself not to him but in him

there’s a difference of having Jesus

revealed to you and in you this man had

the word in him living abiding this man

lived in the

word I don’t think there’s been any more

thunder come out of my heart in this

Pulpit than to cry out to this church to

get into the book get into the word of

God so that all of these false doctrines

will not shake you in the last days you

don’t have to get on TWA and fly to

Chicago to hear some Prophet give you a

word he going to get he’ll give you a

word they going to cost you a hundred

bucks on the

side and a man who’s associated with an

certain event I won’t know name name his

name but there were 1,200 people in the

audience just a few weeks ago and he

stood he said the Holy Ghost told me

that every single person in this

building is to give $100 tonight every

single

person the offering was 18,000 so a lot

of people didn’t get the Holy Ghost

message and I’m not trying to be

factious but if the Holy Ghost going to

tell anybody going to tell the people

and not the

man folks I am still flabbergasted the

that there are people that have been

sitting under our ministry for seven

years or longer still running around to

get a

word still running and they’re not in

this book if they were in this book they

wouldn’t be running anywhere they would

have been running to the Lord every time

they ache and hurt every time

something’s wrong they run to the Psalms

they run to Proverbs they go into the

book and they pray oh holy ghost this is

this is the revelation of Jesus give me

your heart Lord there’s going to come a

time you’re not going to be able to

afford to go anywhere you’re not going

to be able because there’ll be riots

what are you going to do then who do you

call Paul wasn’t much impressed now

folks I believe in the word of God so

did Paul believe in Prophecy but you see

he was so sure of the word in his heart

Paul said what are you doing weeping and

breaking my heart for I’m ready not only

to be bound but even to die in Jerusalem

for the name of the Lord Jesus I know

where I

stand yes there is a two- word of

knowledge but that’s given primarily for

those who are unsaved it’s given for

those the Bible says the drunk man

should be given wine if if that’s if

you’re going to give anybody give it I

mean to a dying man man this is for a

dying Society the word of knowledge

comes for that dying society that just

has to have that the word of knowledge

works the only place that works through

me is on the streets to Wicked people

who need Christ and the Holy Spirit

often will will will let me know

everything that’s in their heart and and

when their heart is exposed they know

that Jesus is talking to them where

nobody can see it nobody’s playing a

game nobody can applaud it’s the work of

the Holy Spirit

thirdly Solomon turned aside because he

did not share God’s hatred for idolatry

he didn’t share God’s hatred for

idolatry he he began first by thinking

it’s harmless God appeared to Solomon

and personally warned him of this danger

of idolatry he said if you turn away

from me Solomon and serve other gods

this house will become a heap of ruins

now folks we want to talk about your

house house becoming a heap of ruins

your house becoming a heap of ruins all

who pass by will say why has the Lord

done this to this land and to this house

and they shall say because they forsook

the Lord and adopted other gods and

serve them therefore the Lord has

brought all this adversity on them let’s

talk about a heap of ruins for just a

moment Saul when marriage these strange

wives and knowing human nature and I

think here’s how it went Solomon when he

he sees them bringing in their little

golden Mice from Egypt when he sees all

of these little carved

Gods Solomon is is

thinking how foolish can they

be how blinded they are foolish women

and and I I read some of the

commentaries that say well Solomon had

to uh uh have all these wives because

they signed peace treaties by giving one

of their women as a

wife that’s

garbage God had commanded no strange

wives you don’t add wives and folks God

doesn’t wink at

sin and

uh so Solomon at first is probably so uh

turned off by that to the these stupid

women with all the little and I’m sure

he made fun of them he may have mocked

them

and and uh they were and

finally a little bit of

curiosity as he would visit his strange

wives and in their homes that he had

built and he he would say this little

thing here what is that and she begins

to

explain and folks that Curiosity then

became

interest and finally grabbed his heart

because if you toy with it if you play

with it if you’re curious about it it’s

going to take your heart you give the

devil one

inch Jesus said Satan cometh and hath

nothing in me he has no ground you give

the devil any ground and he’s going to

move right in he sees what’s in your

heart somewhere along the line he got

intrigued somewhere along the line This

brilliant mind turned to to to to into

the history of these gods and to all of

the uh meaning of of their uh worship

and all of the things that they went

through what does that mean and as he

studied it got a hold of his heart as it

got his his into his eyes it got into

his

heart you simply give the devil a place

to exist in your house if you bring any

form of idolatry into your

home now let me let me talk to you it’s

been a long long time since I’ve talked

to you about your television

set remember me telling you Solomon in

his

Chariot do you know what your chariot is

your

couch with a little button with a remote

control and that can take you down

Embassy

Row down through the mountain of

disgrace and you can push a button no

you say my television is not an idol

okay but it’s your

chariot you push a button the devil in

this last days through Electronics has

made it possible for you to hide your

idolatry you don’t have to leave your

home you press a button now if your

thing is pornography if your thing is

lust you push a button and you can have

it in your home nobody but you and God

knows about it but it’s taking your

heart and it’s taking your love and it’s

robbing you of your fear of God and it’s

going to destroy

you you push a button and if you’re Idol

is sports now there’s nothing wrong with

sports if if you just uh if it’s

something you that does not consume your

time does not take you away from the

work of God or your family that’s one

thing but folks I know men that cannot

sit in the house of God for two

hours without getting nervous

some of them even can’t sit it now I

know one man who told his wife she told

me she may be here tonight her husband

said I I I can’t go to that church it’s

two hours we’re going to the other

church it’s one hour service he wanted a

1 hour

service but he has no trouble watching a

three and 1 half hour football game

switching channels and watch another

three and a half hour seven hours to

watch two football

games that is

idolatry that’s idolatry

and you can push that button and you can

bring you can ride your chariot without

moving out of it and God the devil will

take you right into his Shrine he will

open up one Shrine you know what amazes

me we have we have Christian wives and

mothers we have sisters who

are uh you would think are the holiest

people you ever met but they are

addicted to soap operas

I you you don’t see me

laughing you watch people jump from one

bed to another you watch adultery you

watch

fornication and what you have

done is the same thing Solomon

did you have moved out of the temple of

God into the shrine of

milholm and you’re going to lose your

fear of

God and I’m going to thunder about

it now many of you have a television in

your heart your house and you use it as

a monitor that’s a different story some

of you have television and and you know

how to handle

it I’m not going to put a trip on you

but I’m talking about Idol

Tre a cord or Shrine the devil right

now is bringing in even on

computers even computers now you say I

don’t have a television said but what

about all the absolute incredible

Blasphemous filth coming now on

electronic

Windows

networking the worst filth that’s ever

been invented is coming now all of this

stuff that’s coming these are new

temples new shrines that are being

built and that chair it’s right in your

living

room I folks I’m warning you in the love

of

God you remember the times I I would

stand here and shake my fist at

you and a fear God

say you say if you changed no I feel

just as strong as I’ve ever

felt but are you going to bring filthy

videos and put them in your VCR you

going to sit there and watch films that

blaspheme the name of Jesus and take

God’s name in vain then come to God’s

house and say oh how I love Jesus Lord

and have

communion folks this is what causes

people to turn away

quickly they turn aside and I wonder

wonder how many that are here now

hearing me are going to turn aside

because I’ve already touched in your

life something God’s dealing with by the

Holy Ghost and he’s telling you tenderly

and lovingly tonight I want to free you

I want to deliver you folks before I

close I you know I always bring in

something good before I close it’s a

good

part God has a Josiah

company Josiah follows

later and what does he do Josiah tore

down and defiled the high places which

was before Jerusalem which was on the

Mount of

Destruction and that’s what God Called

It god named it the Mount of reproach or

the Mount of Destruction where all these

temples have been which Solomon the king

of Israel had built for asaroth the

abomination of the sidonians and chimos

the abomination of Moab and milcom the

Abomination the sons of Ammon and Josiah

removed all the Abominations from all

the lands of all the lands belonging to

the sons of Israel and made all who were

present in Israel to serve the Lord

their God throughout his lifetime they

did not turn from following the Lord God

of their fathers for there his

lifetime oh that’s my prayer throughout

this pet as long as God has holy men in

this Pulpit as long as you live the

whole lifetime that your Idols will be

turned down your heart will always be on

fire for God you’ll always be

affectionally in love passionately in

love with Jesus and you say oh God let

me walk in your fear the holy fear of

God keep the fear of God in my heart

tear down the idols tear down the

idols

Hallelujah I want that to be my

testimony

oh God all my

lifetime I folks I have to tell you the

life of Solomon has put more fear of God

in Me probably than any Old Testament

story I love the story of Joseph and all

of that but when I read Solomon the man

who missed Christ the man who missed it

who had everything I think of so many of

God’s people folks I for one don’t want

to end up turning

aside I I want

if if my funeral is ever held in this

church I want such Fire coming out of

that casket of

mine that they can

[Applause]

say he lived for God and he died for God

[Applause]

Hallelujah at my funeral I want to

Revival I want the glory of God to come

down

Hallelujah will stand in his

presence this is the conclusion of the

message
