thank you
[Music]
I want to talk to you this afternoon
about the dethroning dethroning of
Christ in America the dethroning of
Christ how we have cast Jesus off his
throne
heavenly father I need your help
I I need you just to come and take over
and let my body be an instrument a
vessel of honor to your name and Glory
Holy Spirit you have Sanctified me by
the blood Jesus you have Justified me by
the blood
and Lord you have warmed my heart by
your word and I pray Lord Jesus did you
you enable me to deliver this word in
the manner that you gave it to me and
let it find its Mark don’t let anybody
leave this church this afternoon without
being impacted by the truth for its
truth alone that sets us free
Lord I don’t ever want to Dethrone you
from my heart I want you to be king and
Lord of my life to the dying day
Hallelujah be Lord of all be king in our
lives Lord if there be people here this
afternoon that have in fact dethroned
Christ from his throne in their hearts
we pray Lord that before this day is
over before this meeting is over he will
again take his place rightfully on the
throne of our hearts in Jesus name I
pray amen
the dethroning of Christ in America
now Paul spoke of the coming of Jesus as
a time when Jesus shall show who is the
blessed and only potentate the king of
kings and Lord of lords
that’s that’s what God said when he come
he want to show everybody who’s the Lord
he’s going to show everybody who his
boss
he’s going to show that’s exactly First
Timothy 6 14 15. he shall show who is
the blessed and only potentate the only
King of Kings the only Lord of lords God
said of Jesus his son he is the
brightness of my glory
my son Jesus is the express image of
myself he was made better the Angels
higher than the Angels more excellent
than they I am his father he’s my son
and his throne shall be forever a
scepter of righteousness Hallelujah
God writing or Paul writing to Ephesians
Ephesians said God raised Christ from
the dead and sent him at his own set him
at his right hand far above all
principalities and powers and might and
Dominion and every name that is named
not only in this world but also in the
world which is to come and it put all
things under his feet and gave into thee
all things to the church folks Paul the
Apostle said no matter what it looks
like no matter when it looks like things
are out of control and the devil is
taking power he says no God has put all
things under his feet our King is still
Lord of everything Hallelujah
he’s given him to be all things to the
church
God himself enthroned his son as king
Over All Nations over nature over the
church and over every life of those who
call themselves by the name of Jesus
Colossians 1 16 for by him were all
things created that are in heaven and
that are in the earth visible and
invisible whether they be Thrones or
dominions or principalities or Powers
all things were created by Him and for
him
Colossians 1 18 and he is the head of
the body head of the church that are all
things he might have the preeminence
folks everything in this book is about
Jesus the Old Testament Tabernacle
everything it’s Jesus he was the word
hallelujah everything you read you go
into this book with Jesus in mind you’ll
never make a mistake you’ll have the
revelation of who he is Christ is all in
all praise His holy name
he was appointed King over every nation
King over the church and King over your
life and mine
and I could spend the next few hours
standing here telling you how America
has dethroned Jesus Christ
we have uh booted him out of our schools
out of our Congress out of our Supreme
Court we have we have neglected and
ignored him in our laws and folks we
have been reaping a horrible Harvest
here in the United States and I can
prove to you conclusively from the book
of Hosea that we every evil thing that’s
happening in America since we have cast
God out of our society and out of our
government is correlated with our
removing Christ from the throne here in
the United States
he was enthroned at one time you say in
name only no there there there were
founding men that came here not not
those who who made the Constitution but
who designed the Constitution but the
Puritan fathers that came here those who
first came to this land and knelt on and
said oh God we give ourselves to you
these were devout followers of Jesus
Christ they were given to the kingship
and the lordship of God and the first uh
25 50 years it was it was a constant
moving of God’s Holy Spirit and the
exalting of the name of Jesus and this
nation this nation has dethroned Jesus
Christ in its media in its newspapers in
television movies
and in our society in general we’ve
asked him to be removed from our schools
in fact there’s an article I picked up
yesterday from New York Post and it’s
written by a Jewish writer Suzanne
fields and she said it was just a
typical Washington dinner party
the conversation gathered heat over a
great range of moral issues about
doctor-assisted suicide
partial birth abortions homosexual
marriages the high rate of divorce teen
pregnancies fatherless families juvenile
criminals as young as six years old
and whether the state should test
pregnant women for HIV to spare their
babies from that disease the guests were
knowledgeable Cosmopolitan in all the
ways of the world that careers offered a
fascinating mixture of perspectives from
the law Psychiatry medicine journalism
government Jews Christians Republicans
Democrats
all junkies of the Washington political
scene
the Beltway insiders suddenly became
awkward they’d been sitting talking
about the moral decay in America and how
we have lost our bearings remember she’s
Jewish she said these Beltway insiders
suddenly became awkwardly silent when
one of the guests noted the Curious
absence of any reference to God in
Washington and faith and all this talk
about morality and all these hot issues
but when the gentleman marveled at the
lack of any religious defense of God in
matters of life and death the people
grew restlessly uncomfortable it was as
though all the listeners were United in
a silent thought I wish he hadn’t said
that God must be silent
last month Justice Antonin Scalia of the
Supreme Court a Catholic speaking to a
prayer breakfast at the Mississippi
College of Law a private Baptist College
received a standing ovation when he said
this is the Supreme Court judge
we must pray for the courage to endure
the scorn of this sophisticated world
all everybody’s become sophisticated now
a generation of educated people who
don’t need God and he is Taboo in
Washington you don’t speak his name
the next day the sophisticated World
argued that scalia’s remarks were
inappropriate for a man of his position
and then she goes on to say I’m Jewish
but I I it’s it’s she’s thanking uh
giving thanks to the Evangelical
Christians on the right for raising
issues of family values and so forth she
said I’m a Jew not a very religious one
uh but she goes on to say how she
appreciates people taking a stand for
God and morality amazing
amazing that something like that should
even have to be written in a day like
this when at one time uh there were men
in Congress who boldly proclaimed the
name of Jesus who nail people the people
called upon his name
the government of the United States the
Congress
the educational system the media system
all of these you know it I don’t have to
go through a Litany of all the ways you
know it uh
Even in our prisons now
no one is allowed to hang a religious
model not even on the Ten Commandments
nobody that works in the New York state
prison system can wear a crucifix
nothing having to do with God or
religion whatsoever in any prison system
other than what comes through the the
chaplacy and and folks in our schools
any young person take the Bible take a
Bible and lay it out on your desk and
see
if you don’t if you’re one of our
liberal schools especially get called
into the principal’s office now you can
lay any book you can lay play board
there you can lay any filthy thing there
but don’t you dare lay a Bible foreign
these are all signs of the dethroned of
Jesus Christ from his throne in our
society
but folks my concern this afternoon
as bad as that is something far worse
and that is the dethroning of Jesus
Christ in many of our churches and in
many of the lives of Believers the
dethroning of Jesus Christ that is the
real issue folks ungodly men have always
dethroned Christ his name has been
mocked and ridiculed from the very time
he was born
and it will be until Jesus comes
God’s Great grief
is the dethroning of your son
and that which is called by name his
church and those called by his name as
Christians the dethroning of Christ and
there are some of you here don’t know it
you’re ignorant of the fact that by your
actions you have offended the kingship
of the Lord Jesus Christ and if you’re
not careful and I warn you lovingly this
afternoon you may be in a process of
dethroning Jesus from the Throne of your
heart
but in the church
the Bible says very clearly he’s to be
all things to the church all things
there’s to be no other source of
reference there’s to be no other
counselor there is to be no other means
by which we go about our business that
was that all the government is to be
upon his shoulders and his name Shall be
Called wonderful counselor the Mighty
God the Everlasting father the Prince of
Peace
but slowly and surely psychology is
replacing Jesus Christ as Lord in many
many churches in Para Church Ministries
especially
the prophet Hosea and I want you to turn
to Hosea if you will please I want you
to turn to the prophet Hosea
and I want you to leave it open on the
10th and 11th just uh get chapter 10 and
leave the Bible open on your lap because
I’m going to be referring from here on
to the prophet Hosea
and chapter 10 and chapter 11.
do you have your Bible open it God God
help you if you don’t need your Bible in
Times Square Church you’ll be lost
all right and chapters 10 and 11 the
prophet is going to show us the terrible
Harvest that’s reaped by societies and
people
especially the religious crowd
who Dethrone Jesus Christ from his
lordship
now folks look at me please first Hosea
the prophet is addressing a people who
have been delivered by the hand of God
they had literally being cradled in the
arms of the father
he had delivered them from overpowering
enemies he he had blessed them and
prospered them these people had
inherited houses they had not built
Vineyards they had not planted these
people had been LED and guided by The
Counselor himself prophets were raised
up with the clearest word people ever
heard
they they had been faithful for a season
they did they didn’t turn to the flesh
they they would turn to the prophets
they would turn to God and God would
speak to them and they would obey him
and for a good season of time prior to
this Prophecy from Hosea the people of
God were walking under the lordship of
the father they were walking under under
the submission and yieldedness to the
Lord of Heaven Lord God of heaven but
apostasy had said in during the time of
the Prophet Hosea and now he’s
addressing a people who had departed
from God in fact God says those very
words in the ninth chapter he said
you’ve departed for me your princes have
raised up in Rebellion against me you’ll
find that 9 15. they they have revolted
against me
now follow me closely
God comes now through the prophet Hosea
and he says you people once depended on
me I was your source of everything
I was God in your life I was King
but you’ve dethroned me you’ve turned to
the flesh now you turned to men’s advice
you’re not even Consulting with me
anymore you’re revolted against my
kingship my lordship you do what you
think is best you do now what you’re
running down to Egypt the very place you
were delivered from you’re running back
there trying to find Deliverance you’ve
turned from me and God called that
wickedness he wasn’t referring to drugs
or promiscuous sex he was saying you
don’t depend on me now in God’s eyes
that’s the greatest wickedness that any
Christian could ever commit thank you
to no longer be holy dependent upon him
folks in all of my Ministry if I were to
boil it down
and I started I was called to preacher
when I was eight years old and I’ve been
preaching since a teenager and you know
I’m 65 now there it is again
but I’m saying that to say this if I
were to sum up what I’ve learned
how to serve God
and follow him all your lifetime
and come under his Blessing and favor
it’s simply this
you have to become holy totally
dependent on him for everything
he has to be Lord and God in every
decision
that he is jealous over any decision you
make in consultation with men without
checking with him
[Music]
children’s wisdom sure God uses
counselors but you go to him first you
acknowledge Him as God and Lord and
savior
and you Dethrone him every time you make
decisions you grieve the Holy Spirit you
grieve the King of Kings and the Lord of
lords
I read a statement by
a great prophet of God
wrote it 300 years ago and I read it
this afternoon
and this great prophet of God this great
Puritan Prophet said pure power
is never anxious for cooperation it just
demands
in other words God’s not saying hey look
how I’ll do my part if you do your part
you know do your best to consult me do
your best to check in with me
occasionally no no no no he has pure raw
power he is everything everything
consists in him and for him he’s the
king of kings and the Lord of lords he’s
the only Pope and potentate and he
demands that we follow him first and
foremost in everything we are totally
holy dependent on him
anything short of that
is maligning his kingship and his
lordship
now consider now these people had
dethroned him as king and we’ll show you
that just a moment look in verse chapter
10 verse 1. here are the tragic results
I’m going to give you at least four of
many he lists about 10 12 tragic results
I’m going to go through just four of the
results of dethroning God in your life
both Nation individually and in the
church
all right tragic result number one Hosea
10 1 Israel is an empty Vine he bringeth
forth fruit unto himself now look at me
please
that
clearly designed or clearly defines what
has happened to the United States of
America
to many churches and to many Christian
individuals
and empty by
every man out doing his own thing a
sense of emptiness absolute emptiness
and every man ought to do his own thing
now does that describe what we have in
our society today in America tell me
is there not an emptiness in everyone
you talk to on a job there’s an
emptiness folks every theater most of
the theaters are open this afternoon for
the for matinee
and you see these people rushing in
there because they’re trying to find a
little bit a little tiny bit of
satisfaction
watch them coming out across the street
here folks that’s supposed to be one of
those happy shows over their Showboat
it’s supposed to be a happy uplifting
thing go there watch him when you go to
church they’re becoming a take a look at
their faces
see if you find anybody smiling
tennis
everybody doing their own thing and
folks when you Dethrone Jesus Christ
when you take him off his throne he is
the only peace he’s the only
satisfaction he’s the only meaning in
life you Dethrone him you’ve lost it all
have lost it
to become an empty Vine all the fruit is
for yourself self-centeredness
self-centeredness
try uh
cutting in front of somebody
accidentally in your car
so
centered you move two inches in front of
my bumper bang you’ll Bang into you
try it
I don’t try it anymore I’d let everybody
go I’ll let him go
Israel is an empty Vine he bringeth
forth fruit into himself number two
chapter two or chapter 10 verse two a
divided heart and the breakdown of all
trusted institutions their heart is
divided and in the Hebrew it’s better
their heart is faithless they’ve lost
faith now shall they be found faulty he
shall break down their altars he shall
spoil their energies and you know what
that means clearly there’s there’s no uh
difficulty in interpreting it it’s very
very simple when you lose your faith
when you no longer are totally dependent
on the Lord and you are faithless
God says everything you put your faith
in you take your faith from me and put
it in your institutions you put it in
all of these Idols that you trust in I’m
going to cause all of these to fail and
you’re going to lose trust you’re going
to lose your faith in everybody and
everything tell me how many of you trust
your government
tell me how many you trust your
president
tell me how many of you trust Congress
how many trust the IRS
how many of you trust
the school system
tell me what you trust
yes but tell me what you what are the
institutions now here that are trusted
folks even the United Way
the United Way collecting Charities they
had to throw the president out for
astounding millions of dollars and there
the trust was gone the trust of God God
said you’re not going to trust me and
you’re going to transfer your trust to
your institutions I’m going to make all
your institutions fail you
you’re not going you’re going to run
around there’s you’re not going to have
anybody anything to believe in and
that’s what America is saying today who
do you trust who do you trust we write
on our coins we trust in God what a lie
that has become
We Trust in our money
God says
because your heart’s divided your hearts
become faithless I’m going to knock down
everything you trusted in
you’ve dethroned me I will Dethrone your
institutions
number three
verse 13 chapter 10 verse 13 a harvest
of iniquity
when you Dethrone God when you film
Christ you’re going to reap a harvest
iniquity you applaud wickedness verse 13
you have plowed wickedness you’ve reaped
iniquity you have eaten the fruit of
lies because thou dids trust in thy way
in the multitude of thy Mighty Men and
your professors and you trust in your
psychologist and your psychiatrist and
you trusted in in in those uh Arts and
Sciences and all those things that you
just did God says I’ll take away but
that’s where you’re trying to you’re
leaning in that direction he said but
consequently you have reaped a harvest
of wickedness
oh folks what what has all this
sophisticated learning done for us what
is it gotten us it’s gotten us a plague
of AIDS a plague of drugs
dysfunctional families
absolute chaos among our young people
our school system deteriorating
our roads deteriorating
folks I’m you know that
if you have a car you surely know our
roads are deteriorating
but I’ll tell you what
that’s not the really is the real issue
here is God says you take me from your
throne and you’re going to reap
you’re gonna reap a wicked Harvest
and that’s what we have now in America
we have it in churches where the gospel
is not really being preached What a
wicked Harvest we have among our young
people getting pregnant right in
churches
a terrible Harvest of divorce he said
you’re going to pay the price and number
four chapter 10 verse 3.
for now they shall say what
we have no King
because we fear not the Lord
what then should a king do to us now
look at me please
oh Shia was the king they had a king but
this King because he turned against God
God stripped him with all his power and
authority nobody paid any attention to
the king his words meant nothing
he he was an idolater and nobody they
laughed at their King there was no
Authority folks that’s what’s happening
now God’s allowing the nation to
absolutely mock their leadership you’ll
find it in churches today people think
nothing of mocking their pastors they
mocking they ridicule Authority
listen to this this King had lost his
authority because he was an idolater God
stripped him his authority and they said
we have no King we have no leadership we
are lost we are confused folks that’s
the Payday for dethroning our Lord
no leadership in the government no
leadership
folks I’m not going to tell you who to
vote for
it is so
grieve in your heart
you just grieve in Your Heart You Weep
over it
oh God save this nation we are reaping a
harvest folks because we’ve dethroned
our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in this
country we’ve dethroned him now do you
have a king in your life
listen to what Psalm 29 10 11 the Lord
sitteth king forever the Lord will give
strength unto his people first thing you
get when you enthrone the Lord in your
heart is strength
oh Lord thy Throne oh God is forever and
ever thy kingdom is an everlasting
Kingdom and thy Dominion endureth
throughout all generations
but now here’s a people saying
I have no king and you know what God
says all right Jose you go tell him you
say you have no King
but I’m going to give you a thing I want
you to see it go to chapter 11.
verse 5.
now let’s start at verse uh
four I I drew them with cords of a man
with bands of love and I was to them as
they that take off the Yoke of their
jaws and I laid meat unto them you know
what he Prophet is saying look God
delivered you as a people he delivered
you
he showed his power he took the Yoke Off
Of You the Yoke of sin
I laid me to point I blessed you I
prospered you
and now they’re saying I have no King
and God says no you’re not going to
return to Egypt Egypt’s the type of the
world you’re really not going to go back
you’re not going to turn to drugs you’re
not going to turn to alcohol but you you
you’re without leadership you’re
confused you don’t know what to do and
you still have no reason we have no King
you said but I’m going to give you a
king
I’m going to give you a king read it
verse 5 but the Assyrian shall be his
King because they refuse to return look
at me please
the Syrian King remember the Syrian is
the rod of God and the prophet referred
the prophet referred to this uh king of
Assyria the Assyrian will be your king
because you refuse to return
and in Isaiah 10 12 Isaiah said the king
of Assyria is a man of a stout heart
which is proud and high looks
Syria here means king of pride
king of Pride folks when you Dethrone
Christ Pride takes the throne
Pride takes the throne I’ve seen it in
churches where the glory of God’s gone
where pastors are absolutely salesmen
and CEOs in the churches like a
corporation they really don’t need the
Holy Ghost they many greedy don’t want
the Holy Ghost nothing can scare some
pastors more than Holy Ghost to come
down and take over and people begin to
weep and stand and just praise the Lord
for an hour we’ve we’ve had ministers
who have ministered this Pulpit who told
us they came from certain churches large
churches where there were thousands of
people and and as they were ministering
the Holy Spirit began to move and the
pastors got so frightened and the Lord
moved in one particular service and one
of the staff who came to this church and
and shared this with us said they met on
Monday and the Pastor said that will
never happen in this church again we
will not allow it
dethronica what happens pride and you
shouldn’t talk to these kind of pastors
and they they will argue with you they
will take their stand I don’t care we’re
going to reach people the way we want to
reach them today there are churches that
Minister through data and surveys
whatever the people want they send
people door to door what do you want in
the way of a church what do would you
like to have in the way of worship and
they put it in the computer and they
spit it out and all of their programming
is done according to surveys
Christ is dethroned he is not Lord the
holy spirit is not allowed to move in
the Maze that he chooses to move
folks I I want to
stop here and and really get into this I
have seen Ministries Dethrone Christ and
turned to the wisdom of the world I’ve
seen it over and over again
there are Ministries that were founded
by Godly men
these men were on their face they were
Godly praying intercessors
and they didn’t have any money
50 years ago 100 years ago
35 years ago they started Ministries
they prayed in every dollar
they had nobody to consult with but the
Lord
and God said go and do it and they just
obeyed the voice of God
Jerry McCauley almost 200 years ago an
alcoholic raised up a mission here that
man had no dollar to his name that man
would just stay on his face before God
prayed in food money prayed in every
building that God gave to them and that
mission still stands
other Ministries all over the world that
were that were founded by praying people
who believed God who were totally
dependent Jesus was Lord and king of
those Ministries and now after these
years younger men have come
and these younger men are more educated
and they have brought in with them now a
whole new way of thinking that some of
these precious young workers believe
that the computer can do anything
you just Crawford cross-reference you
just get enough sources and resources
everything’s resources resources well I
thought God was our only resource I
thought he was our resource
folks I’m not against computers our
office is full of them we got too many
of them over there I mean every young
man that works for us needs a computer
God I’m not putting that down but but
there’s folks that’s all right if he is
your resource if you’re getting all your
directions from and then you come down
here and try to interpret it that’s a
different thing I’m not against using
modern methods
but you see when the altar is replaced
by the counseling room
when Christ is replaced by Freud
[Music]
when psychology replaces the Holy Ghost
these ministers begin to die on the left
and in the right and the money begins to
dry up so they have to call in other
counselors on how to raise money
and then when they can’t raise money a
better expert is called in and has cost
them as much to get experts as is the
money that they’re raising and they go
broke
folks 35 years ago
I started down in Brooklyn
I weighed 115 pounds then so I didn’t
impress anybody
but I’ll tell you I had bony knees
I knew how to seek God
we came and lived in a rough area in
Staten Island
and my wife was sharing she we remember
these times
we found an old
Mansion over in Brooklyn still there 416
Clinton Avenue
full of junk five truckloads of garbage
had to be taken out
and folks we put a little sign there
nobody shines here but the Holy Ghost
and they’re a little sapling there we
prayed oh God
it’s not psychology
it’s not psychiatry
it’s the Holy Ghost
we can’t work on the head until the
heart has changed
that’s the problem today
listen let’s get the head straight and
then we’ll work on the heart
if you don’t have a changed heart forget
the hit
I know because Nikki Cruz was
incorrigible he was hopeless he had a
Killer’s heart
didn’t know how to cry mean angry he
delighted in mixing up psychologists and
psychiatrists he knew exactly
one psychiatrist took him up took an
interest in his case and took Nikki
Nikki’s told about it up here in Bear
Mountain for a day to get into his head
and he’d show him signs what’s that
looked like Jesus it looks to me like
your mother
you know he he knew because a man’s
trying to get into his mother and and
into his background and pulled out the
child in him he knew Nikki knew it all
so he’d just mix them all up
this psychiatrist came back with a
report that Nikki was absolutely
encourageable
no I know
that’s the same boy
that stood before me and slapped he said
go to hell
he looked incorrigible it felt
incorrigible
but that’s the same boy who heard about
the power of Jesus
he wasn’t psychoanalyzed
his head wasn’t messed into
but God sent an arrow into his heart and
it’s simply this okay Jesus loves you
no Holy Ghost drove that into his heart
and God transformed him what the
psychologists and psychiatrists couldn’t
do with all of their uh latest
techniques the Holy Ghost did it over
and I took out that heart a stone gave
my heart a flesh he’s still preaching
the gospel thank you
[Applause]
God LED us to found King challenge
started started as a Teenage evangelism
actually 35 years ago
and the sons of God came to us and asked
if they could adopt it and I said go
ahead and take it so I changed I let him
have it and we started Teen Challenge
and teenage evangelism died immediately
after that
and Teen Challenge went on I think
they’re probably 200 centers in the
United States and over 100 worldwide in
other nations probably 250 300
centers but I would tell you something
folks in 35 years I’ve seen the
backsliding
I’ve seen I’ve I’ve seen the literature
I am not director of that I’m the
founder but of the own program notify
takes about 25 30 years before the
backsliding sets in
now I see an army of young professionals
coming in
and and they bringing in the
psychobabble they’re bringing in they
want to take Freud and psychology and
put Bible to it just you know just put
Bible names to the to the art or to the
science
and and I I began to see now when that
happens the money begins to dry up and
all the methods trying to raise money
and the trust and the confidence in
Jesus to meet the need is evaporating oh
not in all but many many of them and and
folks I have to sit publicly a number of
them ought to be shut down right now
because Jesus has been dethroned and I
say that lovingly
I’m preaching Saturday night over here
at uh at The Meadowlands at the hotel
there a gathering from all the United
States of of of leaders of missions and
I’m getting letters from that
organization from some of their old-time
leaders and they say Pastor Wilson
you’re preaching Saturday night he said
please
may God help you to say something to
bring us back to our knees because we’ve
turned professional now we are not what
we used to be we’re bringing in all the
modern cycle Babble and it’s just it
just breaks our hearts we don’t know
what to do
folks Jesus is being dethroned
in ministries he is no longer The Source
he’s no longer the power
we’ve turned to flesh we’ve turned to
Egypt we’ve turned to these things that
just fade away they have no strength
they have no power
and what about your life
do you have a king
you have to say you have to say when you
walk into some of these churches
something they have no King
they have no King
if you’ve turned to psychology if you
have no King
you’re going to end an album Absolute
Total confusion
do you have a king in your life if so
then you are going to him and you don’t
make your decisions until you consult
with him till you go and he said come
into my courts with praise he said come
boldly to the throne of grace I have
everything that you need
where are you going now for your
counseling where are you going for your
advice are you just are you just making
your decisions pale Mel are you saying
well this is what I feel to do it feels
right
like that that song a number of years
ago it must be right because it feels so
good
no
all sin feels good
until until the payday comes
why why does a wife walk out of her home
out of her marriage and a husband get up
and walk out of his marriage why do this
pick up and say well I can’t handle it
anymore
he didn’t do that
my dear friend by going to the throne of
grace you didn’t go to the king and ask
him what his word says
you just made the decision I can’t
handle anymore you didn’t ask God for
the grace you didn’t ask him for the
power you didn’t ask God to change your
mate you didn’t ask God to change your
heart and I want to tell you 99 of all
marriage promises not a marriage problem
at all it’s a Jesus problem it’s a
kingship problem
everyone who comes to me for counseling
right now then their marriage is in
trouble I know it just as soon as I said
I’ll listen to one side and they sound
convincing listen to the other and they
sound convincing and I watch and listen
to the actions they take the things they
do get up Mark out of their obligation
just leave
can’t handle it anymore well the world
can do that but you don’t do that when
you’re subject to a King
you are not you want you you are to do
what he tells you to do
are you making all your own decisions
are you just acting without
full consultation he said he’s Mighty
God counselor
and yet you’ll do what your friend tells
you to do
you’ll do what somebody else tells you
to do especially if it agrees with what
is in your heart
and and if you look far enough you can
find some counselor he’s going to agree
with you
make take three or four trips but you’ll
find somebody because the devil makes
sure there’s somebody there to confirm
you and your disobedience
now folks this is not professional
preaching this is plain meat and
potatoes but it’s going to save your
soul
Hallelujah
well folks we’ve got high-tech churches
now everything is High-Tech high Knology
High knowledge
but now let me bring you to this
the good part
you know I don’t ever preach hard
anymore without bringing the good side
always flip the coin and look at the
other side
I’ve shown you the tragic consequences
of those who have dethroned Christ as
Lord let me show you
the good consequences the wonderful
things that happen to those
who enthrone him as the king of their
lives
you sit here in the surface of seven I
hope beyond anything else that you can
say brother Dave I want him to be king
of my life I want to be subject to him I
want to do everything that he commands

happen you want to know what’s going to
happen if you allow him to be the Lord

tell you to go look at me for just a
moment
if you allow him if you enthrone him as
king

his lordship his kingship first thing
he’s going to do is Infuse you with his
Holiness you’re going to become a
partaker of his own Holiness there’s no
Holiness pure it is the ultimate holy
you are going to partaker of his
Holiness think of that
chapter 12 verse 9 and 10.
furthermore we have had fathers of our
flesh which corrected us and we gave
them reverence shall we not much more
rather be in subjection unto the father
of spirits and live first of all he said
you subject yourself to my lordship
that’s what it says so you’re going to
know what it is to live you’re really
going to live
if you want to live you want to know
what life is really like full life full
living He said you subject yourself to
my lordship and live for they verily for
a few days chastened us after their own
pleasure but he for our Prophet that we
might be what partakers of his Holiness
Hallelujah
and says
you subject yourself to me and I’m going
to give you real life without fear
condemnation guilt and I’m going to have
you partake I’m going to infuse I’m
going to give you my Holiness Hallelujah
Holiness is a gift from God he said I’ll
give you this gift you’ll be a partake

mockery

keys

wonderful looking first

being delivered out of the hand of our
enemies might serve him out
in Holiness and righteousness before him
