Fifth Trumpet: The Locusts from the Bottomless Pit 9 Then the fifth angel sounded: And I saw a star fallen from heaven to the earth. To him was given the key to the bottomless pit. 2 And he opened the bottomless pit, and smoke arose out of the pit like the smoke of a great furnace. So the sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke of the pit. 3 Then out of the smoke locusts came upon the earth. And to them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. 4 They were commanded not to harm the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads. 5 And they were not given authority to kill them, but to torment them for five months. Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a man. 6 In those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will desire to die, and death will flee from them.

turn to Revelation the ninth chapter

please the day of the locust a prophetic

message the day of the locust revelation

9 please turn off your telephone to

appreciate it the day of the locust now

let’s start reading until I stop and the

fifth angel sounded and I saw a star

fall from heaven unto the earth and to

him was given the key of the bottomless

pit and he opened the bottomless pit and

there arose a smoke out of the pit is a

smoke of a great furnace the son of the

air were darkened by reason of the smoke

of the pit there came out of the smoke

locusts upon the earth and upon them was

given power as Scorpions of the earth

have power was commanded them that they

should not hurt the grass of the earth

neither any green thing neither any tree

but only those men which have not the

seal of God in their foreheads and to

them it was given that they should not

kill them but that they should be

tormented five months in their torment

was the torment of a scorpion when he

striketh a man in those days shall men

seek death and not be able to find it

and so desire death and death so flee

from them the shapes of the locusts were

like unto horses prepared unto battle

the heads were as the crowd were as it

were crowns my gold and their faces were

the faces of men that hair is the hair

of women their teeth was the teeth of

lions they had breastplates as were

breastplates of iron the sound of the

wings was the sound of chariots of many

horses running to battle they had tails

like scorpions and they were sting there

were stings in their tails their powers

to hurt men five months.that a king over

them which is the Angel of the

bottomless pit whose name in Hebrew

tongue is Abaddon but in the Greek

tongue

his name was apollyon Heavenly Father

we are living in the day of the locust

everything that you tell us and the word

is applied to this day Lord what how

up-to-date your word is we can learn

what’s happening today by simply going

to your word and father I want you to

speak to us plainly today Lord so we

understand we not be left in confusion

about this day and all of the things

that are happening before our very eyes

now Lord give me the anointing of your

Holy Spirit let me speak what you have

put on my heart and Lord let this

message be heard around the world we

pray in Jesus name Amen in Revelation

the eighth chapter don’t turn there but

we have seven angels sounding off seven

trumpets and warning of calamities that

are coming upon the earth the first four

in the eighth chapter first four angels

had to do with pollution of one third of

all the Earth’s trees and grass

pollution of the rivers of the seas the

waters predicted would become bitter and

there would be a pollution of the skies

darkening of one third of the earth

because of pollution it’s all about

pollution it’s there you can read it

when you go home this afternoon but then

in the ninth chapter

verse 1 the fifth angel sounded and I

saw a star fall from heaven unto the

earth and to him was given the key to

the bottomless pit and here is the fifth

morning the fifth angel comes to sound a

trumpet about that which is soon to

happen on the face of the earth a

warning to all of mankind prepare a

worldwide invasion of locust is coming a

worldwide invasion of locust is at hand

Satan is the star that fell from heaven

and he’s going to be given permission to

open the gates of hell and release an

army of demonic locust now as soon as

the devil opens the bottomless pit huge

billows of smoke pour out and out of

that smoke comes forth an army of

demonic locust and the Bible says so

widespread that it hides the Sun and the

air becomes dark and oppressive and out

of the smoke verse three there came

locusts upon the earth and unto them was

given power as the Scorpions of the

earth have power now these are not

locust as we know the locust and will

this locust army is an army of men this

is a human army Bible said their faces

were as man verse seven they had long

hair that hair as the hair of women

verse eight they had a headdress or

turban on their heads were his crowns

they came to torment to strike terror

verse five like the sting of a scorpion

their tormentors they are torturers the

word scorpion actually means poison in

the tail are poison they are poisonous

they are called here as men of war like

horrors is prepared for battle the

pictures and army of men tormentors who

are itching like prancing horses wanting

to get into the battle wanting a fight

waiting and ready for the fight they had

wings in other words they could sting

from the air as well as from the ground

everyone if I had a stinger a tail

meaning to every one of them possess the

power the possibility to sting and to

hurt men on the face of the earth now

friends this is a real army this is a

human realm this is not a mystical

allegory this this is a human army that

is to be released in the last days in

the last days and angry devil is going

to come down he’s going to be given

permission the keys of hell and he’s

going to open the gates of hell and I

was going to come a smoke and other the

smoke will pump this army it’s going to

flood the whole earth demon driven

fanatics bringing destruction and fear

upon the whole world

now folks numbers of writers and

theologians including the many of the

Puritans from the 17th century to this

very day believe this is the

army this is Islam this turban army of

tormentors is going to be released from

the pits of hell in the last day in fact

if you read later on in this very

chapter it ends up in 1/3 of the Earth’s

population being destroyed by a two

hundred million man army

a well-known writer of quite a few years

ago dr. Wordsworth worked out this whole

scenario in a book about Islam and

Muhammad he depicted the smoke coming

out of the pit as the doctrine or the

religion of Islam and out of the smoke

which he believed blinded the eyes of

man and covered their eyes and their

whole nations so that they could not

discern truth he said out of this

doctrine out of Islam will color me and

he believes very clearly and many many

did for centuries that this was the

army muhammed came out of the

sixth century and with his vicious army

ravaged nations the smoke out of the

smoke came this this belligerent army

muhammed appealed appeared as it in the

sixth century he founded islam and with

the great army of horsemen he swept over

much of the earth now when i hear it

said that Islam is a religion of peace

everything in history cries out against

that that is not so it is not a religion

of peace it’s a matter of this it’s a

religion to the sword and of war from

the very beginning it was born in

violence and today most of the battles

almost every war but to that I could

name our wars between Islam and the

nations Islam is behind the wars all

over the face of the earth it has been

that from many years from the sixth

century

Mohammed Mohammed struck against the

Roman and Greek Catholic Church it

struck out in the sixth century against

all Jews it took in about it took in

most of Asia from Euphrates to

Constantinople it captured the Holy Land

all of Asian Mayan Asia Minor Islam

included it took in all the territory

the seven churches of Asia it crossed

the Bosphorus and the Balkan Mountains

to the very gates of Vienna

they took Greece and all the eastern

Mediterranean island’s they captured

North Africa they crossed over the

Straits of Gibraltar they founded the

kingdom akin dimin Spain and they

entered into France ready to conquer

France and they suffered a horrible

defeated tours and it stopped this flood

that was sweeping over Europe Islam is

the day but it has always been a

religion not of love but of the sword

even today the mullahs and ayatollahs in

order to enforce their religious

standards chopped off heads chopped off

arms chopped off fingers it’s been a

bloody religion always has and always

will be it is not a religion of peace

now let me tell you this know what you

lists very closely it’s almost

impossible to find a Muslim don’t me to

Islam as the religion Muslim because

they were followers of Mohammed Muslim

is more of an American term but it

started by writers and also by Farrakhan

Muslim admit their Mohammedans their

muhammadans I want you to know that I

believe God loves Mohammad instace as

much as love Jews or Gentiles he loves

all men equally God has a love and we

are to pray for the muhammadans first of

all pray that some of the leaders will

be saved like Saul of Tarsus and become

a mighty missionary to the Muslim nation

since the Muslim Masons this church

prays for Muslims we pray we have the

love of God in our hearts for all

mankind

but I you will not find a very

seldom you will have to look very long

and hard to find a single Muslim on the

face of the earth who believes that

Israel has a right to survive

there is something inborn in the very

nature of the Islamic religion and it’s

inculcated into the Islamic people into

the Moslems that Israel

you see they can cry out against

terrorism here in the United States but

you mention Israel kill the Jew that’s a

holy jihad

that’s a holy war sanctioned now this is

amazing now let me tell you what a

terrorist is a terrorist is not just one

who slams his spear into the World Trade

Center terrorist is not somebody who

blows up people in a gas station or in a

pizza parlor a terrorist is one who has

a heart though he missed a finger he

secretly rejoices when the Jew is

terrorized or killed now will folks get

this in your mind please understand it

millions of Muslims Muslims all over the

world not only in Pakistan and

Afghanistan and Iran and in ROC millions

and millions now of Islamic SAR

rejoicing and Osama bin Laden is their

hero they’re applauding the folks this

is not a political message it’s not a

racist message it’s the dot God has no

problem with Moslems he has a problem

with the doctrine it’s the religion

the locusts the scripture said were

given a limited time to do their

tormenting work five months to torment

verse nine to torment as the torment of

a scorpion all that means they have a

limited circumscribed time to do their

work they were given permission to

torment but they could not kill a nation

they could not destroy a nation folks

this love is not going to strike the

United States terrorists when the

Islamic nations will never destroy

America they’re given a limited time now

five months just means a limited time

they were given to do their tormenting

work the folks we had better be prepared

for ongoing calamities here in the

United States but I think God may be

giving us a warning as to how the

scorpions will sting again Bible said

there’s poison scorpion means poison

tail we have an anthrax scare right now

here in the city and in Florida

throughout the United States because you

know Iraq has been stockpiling anthrax

for years and all kinds of chemical

weapons and you can be sure over the

past five years they’ve been stockpiling

it here in the United States and many

nations on earth they’ve been

stockpiling it no doubt even now they

were waiting for the word for jihad to

begin now that’s a real threat

the locusts are swarming the Bible says

that the Bible said there are limited

and what they can do they cannot destroy

America they can deter to any other

nation now God has them circumscribed

you say well why would God permit these

locusts to terrorize even for a limited

time

Jesus himself answered that question

because thou has kept the word of my

patience I also will keep thee from the

hour of temptation which would come upon

the whole world to try them that dwell

upon the earth that word temptation

means a time of exam

an hour of trial an hour to prove the

word try here in Greek is to test an

hour of testing an hour of trial and

olive examination God is allowing all

mankind to be put to a test let me tell

you that the second world is being

tested right now here United States

we’ve become a secular nation in the

United States it’s president it’s

government and all of its people are

being tested whether or not in this hour

when the locust are swarming when

they’re coming with their stingers and

folks coming with their poisons that may

not let me no doubt be the key to what

is about to happen I don’t know we’re

not to live in fear but you see the

second world is being tested in this

time will you even acknowledge that you

need God America will you even

acknowledge rather than give him lip

service will you ask God will you even

consider we even mention it that without

God we can’t prosper in war or in peace

are you even going to consider the name

of the Lord or will you allow pride to

enter your heart and trust in your

military might

will you trust this is the test right

now for this nation this is the test for

the second world God will test the world

as well

he said all men are going to be tested

and folks we’re being tested right now

and I want you to know something folks I

told this pastor Carter before the

services this is something only spirit

make very real to me you’d look at the

biblical pattern and you look at the

pattern in history when God comes and

sends wake-up calls to a nation if they

don’t hear the first time he may do it

this second time but if the second time

and the second time is usually worse

than the first more severe if they will

not then there there is no record I can

find anywhere of a nation ever repenting

after that because even thought reproved

hardens his heart I don’t see evidence

that the United States has turned their

hearts completely to God in leadership

as far as Congress is concerned I don’t

see it I don’t hear it I don’t hear this

nation passing this test other than

giving it lip service and then giving

our confidence to our generals into our

high technology and to our bombs into

our armies god bless our our soul did we

need to pray for them and protects in

their own our own sons and our own

daughters but folks we’re not to put our

confidence in the flesh some of you’re

not liking this already

the terrorists the Islamic Sauron pile

because you see if they touch Israel if

they talk peace and continue in their

bloody ways of terrorism folks it’s not

just a handful of terrorists it’s the

whole attitude of the religion against

Israel it’s alright to terrorize Israel

but to complain about America being

terrorized they’re on trial and they

will be exposed geez God says I’ll

expose you here on earth as well as

before the judgment seat of Christ on

judgement day but the Church of Jesus

Christ is the real testing ground even

now no other people on the face the

earth are going to be tested as we’re

being tested and will be tested and what

is the test what is the exam that the

Church of Jesus Christ races what what

is think the test that we face listen

very closely folks it’s the test whether

or not we will trust our God whether we

will walk in faith and here’s the test

and I want you to listen closer to me

please very very important when the

locusts are terrorizing the nations when

fear is on all sides the economy is

shaking

in the world situation worsens when jobs

are being threatened when evil reports

are growing worse worse is God going to

find a people at rest is God going to

have a people totally wrapped in his

arms unafraid are we going to be

trusting him no matter how dark it gets

do we trust them to only a certain point

when there may be just a shade of

darkness and we trust them but as it

goes darker dude do we begin to wane in

our faith do we say where is our God in

all of this or do we trust them with

everything is in dustin we commit

ourselves to him where what everything

else around us is grukk is collapsing

when people all around us are living in

fear and despair will God have a people

on the face of the earth we’ve got other

people in this nation that are at rest

and a piece of their soul and be able to

sing all is well with my soul

we’ve got having people trusting him in

this our jesus said when this other man

cometh shall he find faith on the earth

you see God’s focus right now is not on

Islam God listens to the railing of

these terrorists than he laughs in their

face nothing they say nothing they do

can hinder the purposes of God on this

earth for his purpose is for the Church

of Jesus Christ or for the salvation of

the Lost around the world nothing they

do can hinder his purpose is here

nothing so God’s not concerned about

Islam he’s not concerned about it what

and whatsoever except the purpose of him

allowing it to become a rod for this

testing time you see his focus is on his

own people his own body on earth would

he find us at the end growing in faith

or wavering in our faith and that’s his

concern now see the the locust were

limiting their ability to kill and

destroy nations and they were given a

prescribed time in which they could work

but there was another restriction put

upon this demonic horde that comes out

of Hell verse 4 it was commanded them

that they should not hurt the grass of

the earth neither any what kind of thing

green thing neither any tree but only

those men which have not the seal of God

in their forehead now let me tell you I

came about this message

all week but on my face oh god I want to

go Sunday morning now we’ll go to the

people with an encouraging words I want

to lift up and build up the faith of the

people I want something from your heart

and I struggle all week I even went

through my book I released a few years

ago God’s plan to protect his people

through the coming depression that book

came out I got more abuse of that

problem than any book I’d put out but I

read through it night there were 11

message I preached from this pulpit on

comfort and on health and what God

planned to protect the deepest people as

oh god I’ve been I’ve been all through

the word I’ve preached the pastor

Carter’s preach it reason and infest an

ill those have been in this pulpit and

pastor Patrick and there’s been a lot of

encouragement come forth and as an old

ordinance in view of all that I see

coming in fact what I hear in prayer I

share with brother Carter before the

service what I hear in prayer God saying

to me every time on my face seeking God

is David you won’t bring yourself you

couldn’t bring yourself to even believe

what is coming you wouldn’t believe it

if it were told you I said lord please

don’t tell me

but I said Lord a simple mess I need

help for my own soul I need something

from your word God it’s your word a

comfort the Holy Ghost makes something

real to my word God gave me these two

words stay green green in it both Hebrew

and Greek is healthy flourishing

bearing fruit out in the farm the trees

that are attacked adorn those that are

unhealthy healthy trees are not attacked

by the bugs they have a life force

flowing through them and it was

commanded that they should not hurt the

grass of the earth neither any green

thing neither any green any tree green

tree but only those men which have not

the seal of God in their forehead you

know what David said David said but I’m

like a green olive tree in the house of

God I trust in the mercy of God forever

and ever he said I trust in God and that

makes me green my health comes from

trusting God I flourish because I trust

in God it’s not just the hours I spend

in prayer it’s not just the hours I’m

hearing the Word of God is not the good

things I do for the cause of the Lord

it’s because I trust him and that’s

producing life in me

go to Jeremiah seventeenth chapter

please 17 chapter Jeremiah

verses five and six thus saith the Lord

read this of the other King James cursed

be the man that trusteth in man and

maketh flesh his arm and whose heart

departed from the Lord all right I’ll

read the rest and he for he shall be

like the heat in the desert shall not

see when good cometh but you’ll have it

the parts places in the wilderness in a

salt land and not inhabited

Kirstin is the man or the nation that

trusteth in flesh folks when those

Islamic terrorists stuck

their finger in the World Trade Center

towers we were given an opportunity here

in the United States to humble ourselves

before God we received a wake-up call

and God called us to acknowledge him

that we need him that we can’t we can’t

win anywhere we can’t make any progress

without and you see here’s my point if

we trust in our armies you see the night

that President Bush Senior Center troops

into the war and I Iraq he spent the

night with Billy Graham on his knees you

see what really concerned me when we

came when it was all over in God God

answered prayer God gave victory but you

see there was a parade down a big ticker

tape parade down lower Manhattan and

there was not a mention of God but we

gave a ticker tape parade to our

generals

do you remember that and now we say

we’re going to do it we have the power

we have the ability oh my god

help us help us we were given an

opportunity to humble ourselves you see

we have written on our coins in god we

trust’ but it’s not written in our

hearts god help us and pride takes over

we trust in technology and now our new

super bombs and our secret weapons god

help us god said trust not in man

because if you trust in man you trust in

man’s power you trust in man’s ability

you’re cursed with a curse and he names

the curse what’s going to happen he says

you’ll be dismissed is the heath in the

desert you won’t be the tall tree that’s

over and above all the trees in the

force you’ll be cut down is nothing but

an isolated trouble a desert abandoned

by your friends abandoned by nations

isolated finally all alone nothing were

to be proud about nothing to boast of

humbled and tarnished God said that’s

the curse that comes from trusting in

the arm of flesh and not trusting the

arm of God but blessed is the man that

trusteth in the Lord verse 7 who trusted

in the Lord and whose hope the Lord is

for he shall be now this one said here’s

what he’s going to become you trust the

Lord and here’s what you become look at

it please 17 chapter verse 7 blessed is

the man that trust in the Lord whose

hope the Lord is for he shall be as in

other words he’s going to come out

looking like this this is what is going

to produce he shall become a tree that

spreaded out a roots by the river and

shall not see when he comes her leaf

shall be what green and shall not be

careful in the year of drop neither

shall cease from yielding free fruit

folks

me please blessed is the child of God

blessed is the Church of Jesus Christ

blessed is Times Square Church if they

put all their trust in the Living God

and that no evil report removed them

from this place of rest in him there is

a rest and belongs to the children of

God and he said you claim that you come

into my rest and you will be a green

tree when everything around you is dying

everything around you is fading and

there is all of this decay you will

stand healthy and strong and flourish in

the Lord you’ll be a green tree you will

be as a green tree you will not language

that means you will not wilt in the time

of trial don’t turn there but in Hosea

the night 14th chapter Ephraim which

represents Israel had been called back

to repentance and they had obeyed that

call and they returned to their trust in

the Lord and as soon as ephraim returned

to their trusts and again trusting the

lord here’s what is saying God’s

speaking I have accepted he for him I

will make him not a flourish like a

green fir tree for me is thy food

supplied

he said you began to trust me you become

healthy folks the best defense against

the locust in every sting of the

terrorists of the Scorpion the best

defense of all mister go healthy by

trusting and every day growing in

confidence and resting in God’s promises

and his faithfulness to keep us people

in hard times hallelujah

let me ask you do you trust in his

forgiveness do you trust in the

cleansing blood dear any trust are you

still digging up are you still digging

up old sins that have been long forgiven

look we’re talking about trusting God

you got asked of a people in these last

days you

things have changed they’re not like

they were before September 11

everything is changed it going teeth

changing you see before September 11

people are talking about how whether or

not that they were satisfied with their

jobs they were talking about psychosis

they were talking about going to their

psychiatrist and they were trying to

find somebody that we’re divorcing

because they’re looking for somebody who

understood them that’s all changed and

now Church of Jesus Christ you’ve got to

walk a different path you and I have to

have this confidence I believe in the

new covenant promises of God I believe

that I’m forgiven my sins are under the

blood and I’ll not let the devil do what

he can to sector’ society he can’t touch

my soul I trust in God I’ve confessed my

sins they’re under the blood and I’m

gonna walk in freedom that’s where your

confidence begins don’t let the devil

dig up the past don’t even let him dig

up yesterday if you’ve come to the blood

believe in the cleansing power I’m not

trusting in the arm of the flesh I’m not

trusting my condemnation my guilt my

fear I’m trusting what God said in his

word I’m under the blood I’m clean on

prep I’m precious in His sight do you

trust the unconditional love of God for

you do you believe that God loves you

unconditionally he doesn’t cut you off

just because you fail he doesn’t stand

behind you waiting til you get it right

you come to him and simply confess

saying God I believe your word hold me

you don’t have to live with condemnation

guilt and fear there’s enough guilt

going around there’s enough grief you

don’t eat combination and fear and guilt

atop your grief lay it all down come to

the unconditional love of God through

Jesus Christ Oh hallelujah God wants to

be your friend

I read the story dr. Malcolm Smith an

acquaintance of mine has written a book

on the covenant and I was reading his

manuscript there’s a story there of a

man who came to his meeting

he was from Brazil and he had a good job

he gave up his job and a wife and two

children and he felt the call of God and

his missions Department sent him up into

the up into the Brazilian jungles

they’re at a hard time terrible time and

he watched as his family was near

starving and his denomination failed to

send the support they promised to send

him and in his despair he said I he told

his wife’s I’m going back to Rio de

Janeiro going back to the city back to

my good-paying job and he said you pack

while I go out and woods and pray and

while his wife was packing he went out

for a few days in a little little cabin

and he was in the cabin three days just

pouring his heart out to God saying God

how can you let me starve how do you let

all these terrible things happen in my

life and the Holy Spirit came into that

room the third day believe was a third

day and here’s what he heard from the

Holy Spirit kind loving words if you

want to go back you go back because if

you can be my friend better in rio de

janeiro than up here i don’t want to

lose your friendship now think of that

if that’s what it takes to hold you as

my friend

i love you and if i’m not against it you

can go back but don’t give up being my

friend and folks in these days god is

our friend we have a friend in Jesus we

have a friend and our Heavenly Father

who wants to live wants to live without

guilt and fear and condemnation and

trust in the cleansing blood of Jesus

Christ don’t you dare let the devil

bring up something you did even

yesterday if you’ve repented tonight or

yet last night keep it under the blood

and in this battle and hearing God said

he’ll give you the Holy Ghost and give

you power

and he’s going to see you through it he

got to bring you through the victory so

trust in the unconditional love of God

and that he’s your friend

not only was Abraham a friend of God I’m

a friend of God I was at our the farm

this past week praying and walking down

the road and just rejoicing in the Lord

and I was singing it is well with my

soul it is well and I said Lord you have

a word for me

you’ve humbled yourself you seek my face

and because you trust me

all heaven is singing David it is well

with you it is well with you

today God wants a number of you the Lord

by his Spirit they’re nothing to hear

now that every time you see these things

that that grief continues and every time

you see these things coming and there’s

a sense in you that things are not right

between you and the Lord just not right

maybe you’ve drifted away from the Lord

maybe you’ve allowed a particular

besetting sin Dover power you and maybe

you’re living in in it in a place that’s

not pleasing to the Lord you know that

and the Lord would like you to respond

to a loving call so when you walk out of

here your life is changed you don’t say

well I was scared into it no just open

arms of the loving Jesus the Lord is

loving you you’re saying I’m not mad at

you but I want to lift you out of this I

want to bring you out of this I want to

strengthen you and I want to really give

this version green life that we’re

talking about like in in room 206 you

that are in 206 there if you want to

stay and pray the invitation I’m giving

right now you just stay right there and

you can get on your knees but I’d like

the rest of you we’ll just vacate that

room so we can fill it up with seekers

and as soon as that room is vacated

except for those who want to stay and

pray those in the annex and all the

overflow rooms if you feel that this is

not a time to be flippant about

your spiritual welfare you talked about

fear folks the fear is going to spread

so why but you don’t have to live in

that fear because God wants it to be all

well with your soul he wants to leave

here knowing that it’s all well you can

walk out of here no matter what happens

you can sing it is well with my soul and

nobody was pushing you or threatening

you it’s because God’s love has seldom

before you’ve experienced this come to

you now and saying today let me embrace

you come on I’m waiting for you not

angry at you not mad at you I want to

bring you back don’t run anymore and you

talk to God you say Lord Here I am put

in me what I need to see me through Lord

I accept your love and let the look if

you’re just if you just look up and just

tell them how much you love them how

much you need him so lord I need here I

give you everything surrender everything

I do it into my secret closet of prayer

every day I said Lord I surrender I give

you my body even as a living sacrifice

here in the main auditorium up in the

balcony in here in the main floor if you

if you feel that same thing and there’s

a tug and pull at your heart and the

Holy Spirit’s here you just get out of

your seat and come and stand here and

just open up your heart to Jesus he’ll

embrace you and you’ll be able to walk

here saying it as well with my soul

isn’t and every report that you hear

nothing will faze you nothing will upset

you Oh folks we get calls from from from

even backslidden preachers who just that

they’re in terror God doesn’t want you

being terrible when things are right

with God nothing no evil report can

touch you or harm you but that’s not why

you need to come you need to come

because the Lord has given you the most

loving invitation you’ve ever received

in your life you know when you know the

Holy Spirit’s there it’s just a little

tug a little pull at your heart and the

Lord sent today’s your day

you’re among a family of believers who

love you and I don’t know how to make

the Lord more lovable that he is all we

have to give them as our sacrifice of

our lips but I can feel his love this is

the conclusion of the message
