go to the doctor’s office he diagnoses
you first and then he tries to give you

cure my message is called I shall fear
no evil but first I have to diagnose the
evil and the fear that causes it uh and
uh then we’ll try to get to the Cure All
right so if you hold you pretty much
learn about this now if you hold uh fast
for the first 10 15 minutes my message
always get to the good part so we’ll get
there I’m sure I shall fear no evil you
know where that’s from don’t you 23rd
psalm I shall fear no
evil Heavenly Father father I thank you
for this day for your blessing your
anointing the manifestation of your
spirit your presence the manifestation
of Jesus in our midst and for this we
give you praise and honor and Glory
thank you Lord that these times in which
we live we have a hiding place we have a
savior we have a refuge we have a rock
we’re not going to be shaken Lord we’re
going to stand no matter what the test
may be Hallelujah now Lord quick and my
mind I’ve got to have your help tonight
I plead with you holy spirit that you
come and Quicken my physical mortal body
that I may speak as your Oracle and not
of my heart in Jesus name I pray amen
praise the
Lord there’s a new plague coming upon
the
Earth and we’ve witnessed many plagues
in our times but this particular
plague uh it’s just beginning to affect
our nation and the world is moving very
very fast and it’s striking the rich and
the poor I’m talking about a plague of
fear and remember the plagues in Egypt
of the fogs and the lice they went into
the homes of the P went into Pharaoh’s
Palace into the homes of the princes
there was no home that was spared this
plague and I tell you the same thing is
already beginning to happen it it is
striking the white house I believe the
president of United States in fact there
was a statement said that there’s
there’s a a there’s an anger about uh
European uh Financial leaders who won’t
uh yield on some of the things that he’s
asking Alan Greenspan our
federal head of the FED has talked about
his great worry and his concern and this
is in Congress it’s in the white house
it’s in homes All Over America and
around the world there is great fear
this plague striking rich and the poor
and not a single House of the unredeemed
will miss this
plague Jesus himself warned that this
plague would come remember his words
there shall be upon the Earth distress
of nations with perplexity men’s Hearts
failing them for
fear and for looking after those things
which are coming on the earth for the
powers of Heaven shall be shaken now for
the the powers of the physical Heaven
meaning all the world’s leaders every
institution uh in this world is going to
be shaken the Lord said I’m going to
shake everything that can be shaken it
appears he’s already begun to do that
and even while I speak this plague is
growing more intense worldwide
everywhere you
look nobody knows where it’s going to
end nobody knows how to control it the
IMF has just asked for $18 billion from
our government Congress doesn’t want to
pass it they’re trying to put together
$100 billion as a one last ditch stand
to stop the plague or or rather this
terrible depression that has hit all
over the world on the East and the West
are now about to attack Brazil and all
of South America Brazil needs $18
billion I’m sorry $40 billion to avoid a
depression in the next 3 months they’re
trying to put aund hundred billion
dollar one last ditch effort to stop the
depression from hitting America because
Japan doesn’t want that to happen the
world doesn’t want to happen because
we’re the last Market left for the goods
of the whole world because we spend more
we consume we’re the biggest consuming
nation in the world
today the New York Times had an article
this past week it says the conditions
worldwide are so ominous a global
meltdown is underway now listen to this
the greatest need in the world today is
for a strong world leader to show us the
way
out an article from Russia at the same
time said we are doomed unless a strong
leader comes up in our midst very soon
they’re looking for a we can you
understand how easy it’s going to be for
the Antichrist to come to power let me
tell you how easy it is here in the
United States we have already traded our
morals for
Prosperity right or wrong we have
absolutely traded it doesn’t matter uh
what’s happening in the White House the
Oval Office can be turned into a bedroom
it doesn’t matter as long as can you
imagine 67% of the American people
saying it’s okay as long as we Prosper
we’ve traded we have traded our morals
for Prosperity can you see how easy a
step it’s going to be to trade
trade pro trade uh devil worship because
the mark of the beast we Christians will
not be here but the mark of the beast is
is connected clearly with devil worship
the worship of the Beast and I’m telling
you the whole world there are many
countries right now would sell their
soul for
prosperity and we’re at that point now
we there are will be Millions who will
worship the devil quickly as long as you
give is
prosperity people will sell their very
soul for prosperity in these last days
we don’t want to give up the American
dream we don’t want anything to change
and that’s why we’re in the moral mess
that we’re in right
now the prophet Isaiah and Isaiah 24 if
you go there with me please the 24th
chapter of
Isaiah he shows us how overwhelming this
plague of fear is going to be in the
last days what a picture the prophet
paints folks uh would you hear me on
something for just a
moment uh there was a time I got weary
of prophesying this was about five years
ago and I told you this Pulpit I said
Lord people don’t want to hear I looked
at their face because I I’d rather just
get people happy and and let them go out
marching now the church clapping her
hands and feeling good I want to be a
feel-good
preacher not all the time but once in a
while Lord make me be a good time happy
preacher and I told the Lord so I’m
tired of prophesying and so the Lord
lifted it from me and and I I went
almost five years without a prophetic
word from the Lord I I I I saw the
effect anywhere to go in the United
States the same thing I I mean I’d be
one of three speakers and everybody be
shouting and I get up and
like a bomb
drops and I go back in the room I I tell
my wife saids honey I’m depressing
everybody but I had this Burning Fire
and something I was sing things and I I
couldn’t do it and I tell you I’m at the
place now I don’t care how you look at
me folks listen I’m not being I’m not
being for I don’t care anybody anymore
because uh you know it everybody see SE
it now see in fact somebody picked up my
book said well this is nothing new this
has been happening it said he wrote it a
year before I mean the Manus was fit a
year before it all happen
started the if if you think it’s hard
sitting in a meeting how would you feel
like sitting in the congregation of
Isaiah or Jeremiah or
Ezekiel you don’t hear anything from
these pastors are for me compared to
these
men 24th chapter beginning the 16th
verse listen to this
man 24th chapter of
Isaiah did I say Isaiah all
right you know what I did before I came
to church I checked all my scriptures
this time to make
sure I got them
right verse 16 from the uttermost part
of the Earth have we heard songs even
glory to the righteous but I said my
leanness my leanness woe unto me the
treacherous dealers have dealt
treacherously y the treacherous dealers
have dealt very treacherously he said I
he said I’m beside myself every there
everywhere you look there’s treachery
and betrayal and wickedness fear and the
pit and the snare upon the inhabitant of
the earth should come to pass that he
that flees from the noise of the fear
shall fall into the pit and he that
cometh out of the midst of the pits will
be taken the snare he said everywhere
you go you you try to get victory over
fear and then you’re going to find find
yourself in a pit of despair you get out
of the pit of despair and you’re going
to find a snare of of hopelessness
everywhere you turn for the windows from
on high are open the foundation of the
earth do shake the Earth is utterly
broken down the Earth is clean dissolved
the Earth is moved exceedingly the Earth
shall reel to and fro like a drunkard
shall be removed like a cottage and the
transgression thereof shall be heavy
upon it and it shall fall and not rise
again how would you like to hear such uh
uh a message such finality you’re going
down he said you’re not going to rise
again incredible strong
message the Earth utterly broken down
the Earth is reeling to and fr like a
drunkard folks look at me do you
understand that we’re seeing that right
now I just was hand a letter before the
service from a sister who’s from
Malaysia Malaysia is in a total
depression and she say please send your
book to and she named her president and
uh we’ll try to follow through on that
because we gave a book to every
Congressman every Senator and also to
the White House now whether they read it
or not I don’t know most will just
probably throw it away but the witness
was there anyhow and God on Judgment Day
will remind them of that
but in Indonesia and Thailand Malaysia
and Korea and Japan and Russia
and and Nations that are utterly broken
down these words have been literally
fulfilled before our eyes we sit here
now while you’re sitting in this church
what Isaiah is talking about has
literally come to pass I mean physically
literally it’s there we are there this
has never happened before in the history
of the world we’re there this is about
today and we’re seeing it fulfilled
right before our
eyes no wonder the headlines of news new
new week this week did you look at the
headlines the crash of
1999 did you read the headlines of
another fear spreads over the globe fear
spreads over the
globe but now the good
part I hope you’re
ready while the whole world the
scriptures said is going to be plagued
with
fear God has sent his own son
to give us these incredible words and I
want you to list them and write them
down in the tablets of your mind with
indelible Holy Ghost
ink he Christ would Grant unto us that
we be delivered being delivered out of
the hand of all our enemies might serve
him without
fear in Holiness and righteousness all
the days of our
life now this is God’s standard this is
what God wants for all of his children
he says no matter what happens no matter
what you see I’m telling you by my
spirit that I have for you A life a
whole life God knew what was going to
happen on our a in day this is not
catching God unaware God’s behind it all
he said he’s the one who’s going to be
Shak God knew then that he’d be shaking
it while you’re alive you’re now hearing
this word and he’s saying to you he’s
saying to me right now now I want you to
live all your days no matter what
happened without fear without fear
that’s God’s purpose that’s God’s
plan he gave us the 23rd psalm to
reinforce it he he he said if you if you
know your
Shepherd you know he’s going to lead you
beside Still Waters he knows where the
food is he knows where the grass and the
pastor is and a Good Shepherd always
goes forward out even when his sheep are
resting looking for pasture looking for
the water and I want you to know as long
as you believe that you have a faithful
loving shepherd He that’s why David said
I have nothing to fear I will fear no
evil I’ve got a shepherd with a rod
there that can beat any lion any bear
I’ve got a Shepherd who loves me he will
lead me in Green Pastures and Still
Waters and while the world is shaking
for the house of God there are still
waters and Green
Pastures
for we’ve not received the spirit of
bondage again the fear but we have
receive the spirit of adoption whereby
we cry ABA father you see fear is a
spirit that needs the
bondage it’s a spirit that the Devil
Himself the Bible says God clearly says
he’s not given us the spirit of fear
it’s from the devil God said I’ve give
you a spirit of love and power and a
sound
mind I’ve always said if God didn’t give
it to me I don’t have to put up with
it God did not give it it’s from the
Devil Himself and he tries to inject a
spirit of fear because most people who
have on them the spirit of fear they’re
in a bondage to fear itself and it’s
never one fear it’s a whole mess a whole
bundle of fears I call them nervous
recks have you ever seen
them I had some I have some
friends visiting us not too long ago and
uh I said he he said I read your book
about America’s last call and she kind
of bought her head I said you didn’t
read it did you she said no and he said
I don’t want her to read it I said well
because she’s a nervous wreck already
she got so many things to worry about
she doesn’t need another
worry I said well thank
you my
friends but you see she worries about
everything you know
if you have a spirit of fear upon you
you are in
bondage it’s not just about the economy
it’s not about job or anything it’s
about your kids it’s about your husband
it’s about the future it’s about the
favors of God it’s just a bundle of
fears because you’re under the bondage
of a spirit of
fear housewives are very susceptible to
this now I love you dear sisters God
bless you I’m not down on
women I’m not a feminist type but I’m
not down down
on women I’m married to one of
them a good
one but this is not God’s plan
for you to wake up every morning and
start replaying your fears and going
over them and over them opening the
newspaper and listening to the news and
just biting your nails and wondering
when it’s going to happen and and and
and every time your husband comes in the
door think he’s got a pink slip and he’s
lost his job and what are we going to do
and we ask all of these dumb questions
no they’re not they’re they’re they’re
just normal questions but it gets dumb
after a while you do it every day as
though God we
dead this is a device Satan uses against
God’s elect trying to inject this Spirit
into their heart now let me talk to you
about some of the
fears that Christians have developed
Christians have to deal with these fears
I I can name many but there are three
that Holy Spirit put in my heart to deal
with now I had no idea who’s going to be
in the service tonight none at
all and so if if you think somebody
called me about you coming you got it
wrong
I want to talk to you first of all about
the spirit the fear of
death Hebrews
2:15 and deliver them who through fear
of death were all their lifetime subject
to
bondage their whole lifetime the fear of
death nothing is more dishonoring to the
Lord than for a Believer who serves a
Christ who conquered death and took the
sting out of it nothing is more
dishonoring to him than Christians and
believers who fear death folks there’s
something that’s perplexed me for years
I I was born and raised in Pentecost my
dad mom Granddad Grandpa and Great
Granddad were preachers and I I I came
from uh a long line of camp meetings
where the saints of God would sing I’m
going to pass over Jordan into canaan’s
Fair land Jordan was death you pass over
it you go into canaan’s land and people
would shout and they’d sing what we sang
then I’ll Fly Away I’ll fly away when it
came to fly
away came to Cross Jordan I I saw
Pentecostals who talked in tongue for 50
years praising God and telling all us
young people praise God I’m ready to go
we testimony meetings praise God I’m
saved and Sanctified and on my way to
heaven and then they were told they were
going to
die they got the news that that that
they they had a terminal disease and
they fell apart and it bothered me I I’m
thinking of one great woman of God
powerful preacher and she got news that
you know she had a bad heart
and her lips
started quivering and she fell apart and
it honestly it shook me
up it shook me up I said what what’s all
this all these years of talking about
being ready to go and wanting to be with
Jesus like
Paul then why me
Lord it should have been all Hallelujah
I’m I’m almost there I’m out of this
mess and contrast that with the young
man who was my my Cru was
my financial director when I was in
Crusade years ago he was in his 30s and
name was Ron
Porsche went to the doctor one day he
had a pain in his stomach and went to
the doctor and they said you you really
need to get some x-rays and M and he got
a test and doctor came back with the
nurse and had
that full look on their face and he said
Mr Porche we have to tell you you’re
full of cancer
you’ve got maybe two months to
live and the other nurses came in
because they thought he’d pass out and
screaming because used to people
screaming and passing out and having a
scene and he sat there and he
says how praise the Lord isn’t that
wonderful praise the
Lord the doctor said I said you’re going
to
die and the nurse or chin hanging
down and
uh he he wound up going around that room
comforting everybody comforting the
doctor he went
home and uh I went over his house I I
heard that he had some bad news
and he’s sitting in the room and on the
couch with a smile on his
face he brother I’m dying
I’m going to be with
Jesus two lovely children a beautiful
wife what a man of God he was I didn’t
know how much a man of God he
was until that moment and every day he
wanted me over he said pastor You’
preached lot tell me what heaven’s like
he said I’m getting anxious tell me what
it’s all about I want to know more and
every day I had to dig something else
and take it over there and sit and
talked to Ron for hours about heaven and
he had some some choruses about heaven
and his wife would play that and he
gathered around his children they would
sing and talk about
heaven and and I went over one day and
and some people were there and it said
we got to we got to have fa we got to
pray this out of this man we got to get
him on his feet he said don’t let him
pray for
me he said I am in a magnetic pool I’ve
already seen something of Heaven I don’t
want to stay here now I’ve made
provision with my family they have good
security they have insurance he said I
am in a magnetic he said you know that
don’t you I said yes I do I said you’re
in that pool he said I am I am further
on that side then I’m on this side I
don’t want to come back I’m already
there what a beautiful moment he just
two months later he’s sitting up in bed
they’d had a little prayer meeting and a
little small face he dropped his head
went to
Glory you
see this
a the man or woman who conquers the
sphere of death can’t be touched by
anything in this world not depression
physical
mental has nothing anything in the world
you you can’t hurt a dead man you can’t
hurt a dead woman Paul said I died daily
I don’t mean that I don’t think it was
just the C I believe he got up every day
he said I this may be my crowning day I
die to everything in this world to its
Pleasures to its money to everything
there is folks this is not the real
world this is all
fantasy the real world is on the other
side all their
lifetime Bound by the fear of dying the
fear of death I talked to a man this
past year who got the word that he had
three months to live and I went to the
hospital to visit him and and uh I
didn’t know what to say I said I’m very
sorry to hear the news that giv you
three months to live and he said well
Reverend he said let me tell you what he
said life is like a deck of cards I just
got handed a bad I got dealt a bad
hand to to this dear man life is a deck
of cards and fate determines it all I
just got dealt a bad hand as though God
had nothing to do with it folks it’s not
a bad hand for the Christian this this
is resurrection this is life this is
Glory you say well brother Dave you can
preach that you have good
health wonder if you could preach it if
you had just gotten your notice well
here’s what the Lord told me there are
some of you here that are very close to
it and maybe some of you got to notice
and the Lord made made it very very
clear to me that if you will allow him
by by his holy spirit to remove all fear
of death it can be most glorious
experience you’ve ever had surpassing
anything in your past life even in your
walk with God you will like you will
like Stephen see the heavens open and
there’ll be that magnetic pool my
son-in-law’s mother my wife is here too
I remember dying of cancer in the
hospital and in the same word to her
everybody around her was was praying and
and and saying be healed be healed be
and and and the Lord had spoken my heart
she was going to
go and the Lord had told her the same
thing and so after they all left these
these were people who were in what was
called the Prosperity Gospel and they
were not going to take
no no way she is not going to die will
never die she’s going to be raised up
and after they left I went in and she
she she said pastor you know don’t you
what God’s told me I said yes I do and
she she said the same thing she said I
feel like a a a magnet is drawing me I’m
getting closer and closer I want to be
with him
now please brother they tell them to
stop pressuring
me I want to be home with the
Lord she had one of the most beautiful
departures you could ever imagine and
some of those dear people thought that
it was my lack of faith that did her
end I mean if you’d only had
faith I didn’t care I knew what was in
her heart I knew what the Lord was doing
in her heart and I thank
God deal with it now ask God to take
that fear out of your heart and if you
if you if you lose the fear of death
through the power of the Holy Spirit you
will not fear anything that happens in
this world again you won’t fear what
happens to your children or or to life
to your job your home this is the number
one fear all their lifetime Bound by
this fear of
dying to be absent from the body is what
be present with the Lord you know what
Jesus said his last prayer father I will
that they also whom thou has given me be
with me where I am that they may behold
my glory folks before you were born he
was wishing you to be with him
already to his disciples he’s looking
around Lord I wish they all could come
with me now he’s been wishing he’s been
waiting I desire Lord that all of these
thank God for life thank God for
Ministry but my real desire is they be
with me to see my glory that’s the
father
Hallelujah have you ever been in a in a
hospital or
sick room of a wicked
person you ever seen now one of two
things if they’re judicially blind they
just block everything out and and that
that’s why people want to be cremated
and they want their their their somebody
throw some of my ashes in Atlantic some
throw them in the Pacific and throw them
to the wind so they won’t have to be
resurrected they think on the Judgment
Day now folks if you’re planning to be
cremated don’t I’m not giving you some
doctrinal kind of thing here but I want
to tell you something I’ve
seen I’ve seen the wicked day and I’ve
seen the Despair and I’ve seen the
hopelessness and the Bible said we don’t
despair like the world Despair and God
God wants every one of us in this
building tonight every one of us to say
Lord Jesus I want to face death look at
right in the eye and say I am not afraid
to die because
absent from the
body I’m present with the Lord what else
do you need what could be more
glorious if that if that’s not glory to
you you don’t know him you’re not
intimate with him you don’t want to be
with him like I want to be with him like
all those who have known him there has
to be this this world is not it’s not
where it’s I thank God for my family I
love them I thank God for this church
and the ministry’s allowed him to be a
part of it folks my heart is not here it
in a way it is but my real desire is
with
him now that didn’t make you shout but
it’s
truth it’ll set you
free the fear of drawing near to the
Lord the fear of drawing near to the
Lord this this has been one of the great
quandaries of my life
also it it’s really been it’s it’s
bothered me for years why why certain
Christians Listen close certain
Christians who are the most loving
people in the world they’ll do anything
for anybody some that have many have
walked with God for a number of years
but they’re same place they were years
ago because they don’t have a passion a
passion that would lead them to have a
daily prayer life a passion that takes
him to the word of God every day to get
to know Jesus better better they’re just
good people but the Quant I’ve had is
said Lord why is it that there are so
many Christians who don’t draw near to
you through the word and through prayer
they’re not they’re not they don’t have
a certain hour or day where they just go
in and shut themselves in with the Lord
and have that drawing to the Lord they
don’t draw near to him he he just kind
of lays easy on the back roads of their
mind it’s it’s just I I know I’m saved I
know Jesus I know I’m going to heaven
because I’m saved by faith I’m justified
by faith yes they’re Justified and
probably will make
Heaven some I wonder if they will I
wonder if they won’t be really shocked
when they stand before the Lord and say
I gave you all the examples of the word
what happens to those who neglect how do
we escape if we neglect so great a
Salvation and I can’t read a guarantee
that you could be saved but I would I’ll
tell you this it’s been a quantity for
me all my Ministry every everywhere I’ve
gone in evangelism and pastoring and
everything else why there are so many
Christians who can sit under fiery
sermons H about diligence before God
about seeking God that faith comes by
hearing and the need to pray and get
intimate with the Lord and about the
only time they draw nigh to the Lord is
when they come to the house of
God and if you got to a dead church then
you really got a problem because you’re
not getting in your clock it you’re not
getting into the pulpit and you’re
living on an experience that’s 20 30 40
50 years of a old or if you’re just a
young comt something 10 years ago you
don’t have that fresh word from the Lord
you’re really not intimate with him and
yet you expect someday the Trump is
going to sound and suddenly you’re going
to have that intimacy with him and it
amazes me it it it it absolutely bothers
me it’s mind bogging I’ve been trying to
figure it out I have spent hours and
days with God in the word saying explain
that to
me explain that to me that people who
are so loving who give who care about
people are intimate with people have a
hard time drawing close to
you and
and what he seemed to speak to my
heart in the past few
days I was thinking
of John on the a of patmas when he saw
Jesus and all of his majesty and His
glory he falls down on his face
petrified and Jesus comes and lays his
hand on John’s right hand on John’s
shoulder and says John don’t be afraid
he said I am the first and the
last and folks that that is really the
message of the holy spirit for the
church whenever you have a fear of any
kind he he comes by his spirit ra his
hand and he says look I don’t want you
to be afraid I want you to be at ease in
my presence but there are many many
people who are not at ease in the
presence of the Lord they’re not at ease
at all or if they were they would be
there why aren’t they there they’re
they’re not easy they are not at ease in
the presence of the Lord there has to be
a reason for
that there are there are some who who I
believe honestly
say I don’t pray I don’t seek God I I
don’t read my Bible because I’ve
neglected it so
long somehow way back I got away from
seeking God daily and I had I developed
a habit of neglect and forgetting and
it’s kind of too late to change and I’m
in a rut now uh I I try to read my Bible
I don’t understand it the words run
together or I fall asleep or I’ll make a
pledge that I’ll do it and I’ll last a
week and then I break the pledge and I’m
back to my old ways I’m afraid I can’t
change I’m afraid I I I I’ve already
developed these habits and I can’t
change and so there I think there’s a
hesitancy there’s a fear in going
getting too close to the Lord because a
sense of failure a sense that I’ve
already missed the
boat I I’ve been at this too long I
don’t think I’ll ever have a close
intimate walk with God so we substitute
love for people and closeness to people
we we we we we substitute other things
and then we lay back just there’s this
always this nagging fear well what if I
stand before God and do have to answer
for that there’s always that nagging
there but we always cover it up somehow
but I sense that there’s a fear in some
people of not really Drawing Near
because it’s too late I’m telling you
it’s never too late I don’t care where
you are you can start tonight you could
go home tonight and get your Bible out
and say Lord I have neglected this word
and I’m sorry for it and I’ll neglect it
again unless you by your spirit woo me
to it unless you begin to help me
understand it and Lord I’ve not been
praying as I should I’m not intimate
with you I’m going on an experience of
the past and I’m telling you Lord Jesus
I know that time is getting short I know
it’s all wrapping up and when I stand
before you I don’t want to be a stranger
to you I don’t want you to say I never
knew you because you neglected
me that you became a stranger to me and
that you just took for granted all my
blessings don’t do that the Lord lay his
hand on you right now by a spirit and
said Don’t Be Afraid come on back you
can start all over again and I’ll forget
all the past if you’ll just start right
now even if I come another week and you
have a week with me I’ll receive you
start over start over again it’s never
too
late
now folks in all
honesty listen to an old
man in all honesty if that kind of
loving teaching if that kind of a loving
appeal doesn’t reach your
heart then the Holy Ghost can’t reach
you I’m going to tell you like it is
if in his love and wonderful loving
invitation where he doesn’t even chasen
you he just says all right I’ll forgive
you but come on
back if you can walk out here tonight
and that doesn’t change your
life and one day I stand before a
judgment
seat when all your Works
burn you have nothing to offer him but
your physical
body and you’ve got no
fruit because all of your goodness to
other people and all the things you’ve
done are going to burn if you don’t have
that relationship with
him there’s there’s there’s another
thing that I’m thinking about the Lord
put on my
heart there are some that are afid to
draw nigh because into his presence
because they’re struggling with a
Temptation they’re struggling with a sin
and they’ve tried so
hard and they’ failed so
often and they say after all the
preaching after learning about the
doctrines of the church about learning
about intimacy with Jesus and and trying
the best I know how I’m still where I
was I I fall I’m being tempted and
there’s a tendency to have a fear of
drawing nigh to the Lord because he’s so
holy and I’m so Unholy and I just don’t
think he could receive me I don’t think
I can be brought back to a place of
Victory oh there’s there’s so many like
that that don’t draw nigh to the Lord
they don’t get close to him they’re
afraid of that God will not receive them
I want to tell you something right now
he he is here in this building right now
by a spirit to lay his hand on you he’s
hearing his Holiness yes he’s hearing
his majesty if our eyes could be open
and see his Holiness we would fall like
petrified men and women on our faces
before him but still he put his hand on
you I don’t care if you were a murderer
tonight I don’t care if you had a
thousand demons in you Legions of demons
if you just reached out to him he’d
stretch out his hand and say Come on
come to me my arms are open I’ll heal
you I’ll receive you no matter what
you’ve been through no matter what your
Temptation no matter what kind of a fall
you’ve had if you will get up and come
to me
now come now start over and
believe right now that I will endure you
with the power that you need but don’t
turn away from me don’t turn your back
on me run to me run to me with your sin
run to me with your guilt run to me with
your condemnation bring it all to me
bring it to me and just start loving me
just just repent and see if I’ll not
touch you by my hand once again and
restore everything the worms have eaten
see if I’ll not restore
you you see this there this terrible
fear of drawing nigh to the Lord Let’s
either expose something or not receive
us or because we have neglected him so
long it’s the only thing I can figure
out if you’re waiting to be good enough
to draw night of the Lord you got a long
way you’ll never make it I’m never good
enough never will
be you know what I pray I’ve told you
many times Lord I’ve got no plea I have
no plea not even my prayers have any
Merit I I I told you I gave you an
altimate I’m going to seek you till you
bless me but if I sought you 24 hours a
day and didn’t sleep that all my prayer
all my Bible reading has no merit
whatsoever it’s the blood the blood the
blood the
blood let me talk to you about the Final
Fear the fear of temporal suffering
temporal
means transitory things of Life the
things of the Earth the fear this fear
is probably the greatest fear among
unconverted men and women the fear of
poverty the fear of a recession
depression the fear of losing all that
they have spent their lifetime can you
imagine spending
lifetimes
accumulating
things and they’re they’re taken away
one by
one I told you last Sunday of those that
were long-term investment this
multibillion dollar
uh hedge fund that went bankrupt they
rescued it temporarily with $35 billion
dollar from some bankers here and
multi-millionaires who overnight went
into bankruptcy losing everything they
had learned to develop fine taste for
$100 bottles of
wine uh fancy cars and golf courses and
and high living and multimillion dollar
homes and now overnight it’s a just a
piece of vapor some vapor and smok and
it’s all gone all gone one man said Easy
Come Easy
Go
amazing but you see this is the fear
that’s pressing now upon
mankind but let me tell you it’s I I
believe it’s an awful sin for God’s
people who are looking Point Blank at
the promises of God have all the
promises of God that Y and made man to
all who believe and still not trust
still Bound by fear 1 John 5:18 there is
no fear in love but perfect love cast
out fear because fear has torment he
that fearth is not made perfect the word
there is complete he’s not made complete
in love he said there’s if if you are
living in fear you’re tormented and he
said more than that that gives reason th
this is proof that you have not there’s
something wrong with your love for
Jesus there’s something wrong about your
love for if you love him you have
confidence in him if you love your
husband or wife there’s trust there’s
confidence and he said again there is no
fear in Love no fear in
love that’s why we press so strongly
about you getting close to Jesus and
drawing nigh to
him folks it’s a simple matter of giving
him quality time and in that quality
time you trust his
word I I don’t know whether if when I
examined my own life I said Lord you you
said he have my Commandments and keepeth
them he is that loveth me but one of his
Commandments is that we go into the
secret closet and we pray and seek we
shut the door and I I go through this
literally I told you I go into my
craving room I put my hand on the door
and when it’s still I close I said Lord
I’m closing the door I talk to him like
that I’m closing the
door and I walk away from the door said
now I’ve shut the
door maybe I’m just too simple I don’t
know but this works for me I said Lord
you said if I shut that
door and I turned and there’s nobody
here I’m in no worry this is your time
this is our
time I’m here to love you and I’m here
to
learn and I I first of all I give him
praise and thanks and come into His
courts with praise and thanksgiving for
all that he’s done I just thank him for
my salvation I thank him I don’t have to
come by works I thank him I don’t have
to sweat I don’t have to do anything but
love him and draw near to him I shut
that door and I said Lord you made me a
promise if I shut that door seek you in
secret you would reward me openly and
the only open reward I want is a full
revelation of who you are that’s
according to your word I believe it I
receive it by
faith and folks when I come out of that
room I don’t care if the mountains shake
and fall I don’t care what happens
because I have I come out of that room
with his assurance and his presence not
afraid anymore because I’ve been in love
with him and I’ve just had a wonderful
intercourse with the Lord and it’s put a
smile on my face and peace in my
heart Hallelujah remember when Jesus was
asleeping the boat when it was rocking
in the
storm and they were saying Lord save us
we’re going
down folks we’re we’re in a rocky boat
right now the United States is in a in a
boat that is rocking there’s a storm the
storm is already here it’s rocking but I
want to tell you Jesus is in the boat
Jesus is in this boat Hallelujah Jesus
is in New York
City Jesus is with Times Square
Church Jesus gets up and speaks a word
and suddenly everything calms the storm
is calm and they look around and said
what kind of man is this what matter of
man is this folks this is what you and I
have to have we talk about Jesus we use
his name we talk about intimacy with him
what kind of man is he he is God but
he’s
man Hallelujah let me tell you what kind
of man this is this is a man who said
are not five sparrows sold for two
farings not one of them is forgotten
before
God but even the hairs of your head are
numbered fear not therefore you are
worth more than many sparrows what kind
of man is this the man who doesn’t even
let a sparrow die without counting him
not even a bird falls not even a bird is
shot down not a bird dies of a natural
cause without the heavenly father he
knows all about it he said every hair on
your head is counted what kind of man is
this what kind of man is this he said
consider the Ravens for they neither sow
nor reap which neither have Storehouse
nor barn but God feeds them
how much more are you better than the
fowls consider the lies how they grow
they don’t toil they don’t spin yet I
say to you that Solomon all of his glory
was not a raid like one of them if God
so clothe the grass which is today in
the field and tomorrow is thrown into
the oven how much more will he clothe
you oh ye of little faith God says if
you want to know who this man is go look
at your grass it’s green one day I gave
it I made it green I took care of your
grass I took care of your
flowers and they only lasted a short
time I’ve given you 70 years when I take
care of you I’ve numbered the hairs on
your head you think I can’t pay your
bills you can’t even count your
hairs what kind of man is this our
father father he said knows what you
have need of and seek not what you shall
eat what you shall drink neither be of
doubtful mind for all these things the
nations of the world seek after your
father knows that you have need of all
these things so you seek first the
kingdom of God and all these things
shall be added unto you fear not little
flock which your father’s good place to
give you the kingdom my goodness if he’s
going to give us the kingdom he’s going
to give me breakfast
David said I sought the Lord he heard me
and delivered me from all my fears I
sought the Lord and I got the victory
over my
fears oh
my I’m going to wrap this
up let me tell you where the
Lord what the Lord spoke to me about
closing
tonight the Bi Bible says that some in
the wilderness did provoke him because
he promised them a rest he promised he
take them through that they they would
be guided correctly easily with the
cloud by day and a fire by night but
even though the cloud was there they
provoked him let me tell you who really
provokes the Lord probably more than
anybody
else this is the Christian who has
failed
God perhaps
backslid who’s allowed fear to enter his
heart that he or she could never come
back into his good grace and never be
fully
restored now I don’t know who I’m
talking to tonight but God made it so
clear in prayer this
afternoon that I had to add this it
wasn’t in my message but to add this it
was added this afternoon in prayer I
don’t know who I’m talking
to but there’s a fear in you because you
have really you’re not where you were
you have failed God I don’t know what
kind of sin it is I don’t care if it’s
drifting or backsliding whatever it is
but there’s a fear in you you’ve
developed uh a fear that the Lord will
not forgive you or if you come back
you’ll
fall let me give you an illustration
before I close to tell you what this is
all about and why I believe the Lord put
in my heart uh number of years
ago uh a drug addict young lady came in
was saved under my
Ministry I was in Pittsburgh at the time
she came to my crusade and gave her
heart to the Lord wonderful conversion
married one of our drug addicted
converts saved convert and they
developed a wonderful drug drug program
here in the United States a very
successful program it was not teen CH
but was another wonderful couple God did
such a great work in their
heart probably 12 15 years after they
were
saved he took a fall back to
heroin and then
somehow she she through through through
medical
problems uh an habituation to medical
drugs they got exposed and had to leave
the
ministry and uh my wife and I got a call
from them they were in Florida at the
time in a little hotel
motel and they were going to it was
going to be a double
suicide and they calling us to say
goodbye and I was going over there with
my wife this afternoon
getting the details straight and she
remembered it well and I I prayed with
them and I said look you if you if you
will please I said do you have enough
money to get we were in Texas time do
you have enough money to get to Florida
up here we’re going to wait for you not
don’t do anything till we get here and I
prayed against that Spirit of death and
suicide and they said we’ll come and
they they two
brokenhearted people who really loved
God deep inside they’ never lost that
love for God but they felt they felt
they had failed God they had failed me
they had filled everybody and more it
was the reproach that they brought on
the Lord said better dead than to to to
live with this
reproach they came to Texas heartbroken
health health
broken they just barely made it
there it was about three days of bathing
them in
prayer just just ministering the love of
Jesus and and it was the same thing how
could God forgive what we have done we
we had everything the testimony we we
have reproached the Lord in front of
drug addicts we had to get up in front
of all our people they knew we had
cheated and all this he he was so
heartbroken he said brother Dave how can
God God forgive a man like
me I had been saved from the pits he he
was so merciful to me he said I was
stealing God’s money to buy drugs I was
taking
offerings I I I was going out telling
people I’m witness on the street and I
was connecting for drugs he said if you
only knew we messed up how can God
ever forgive
us they didn’t want to even approached
the Lord there was such a fear in their
heart of even even even
praying but boy one night as we prayed
the spirit of the Lord came through and
the love of
Jesus the Same Christ who laid his hand
on John and said don’t be
afraid I’m the beginning and the
end spirit of God came on both of them
they began to weep and the all of that
poison all of that fear drained out
literally drained they put their arms
around each other and it was I mean just
trembling he’s here he’s here he’s real
he’s forgiven he he’s merciful the mercy
of God came through to to them in such a
powerful way and and and for the next
week we watched the the health come back
and we got them some new clothes and and
uh the restoration
began and and I want you to know that
those two are in the ministry today
and they’re in the ministry

life sat in one of my meetings with
cathine

me cry I’ll give you my life and as soon
as she said that she started to cry ran
down the Altar and got

merciful God we serve he wants to take
