fate. I'm speaking very plainly today because I'm wrought� about it.(
Christ knows our work·s. There are works, good works, and not rituals.
"Behold, I have set before thee an open door, ..• for thou hast but
a little strength, and hast kept my word." I-was going to say further,
if there's any one reason why God called me, it's because I was willing
to believe what He said. And because I've kept His word. I have not
compromised.
Now, there's been an effort on the part of some of our younger ministers
to compromise in these last nine years. Some want to water down or
do away with tithing. Some of them wanted to do away with keeping
some of the annual holy days and the annual festivals of God. They want
to do away with God's truth in every way they can. Let me tell you
that if you don't tithe, and some of you don't, YOU ARE STEALING -- YOU
ARE A THIEF! AND YOU ARE STEALING FROM GOD! ·I SAY THAT ON THE AUTHORITY
OF JESUS. CHRIST! Now, if you think I've"""Insulted you, get up and walk
out. SOMEONE HAS GOT TO WAKE YOU PEOPLE UP!
Again, verse 8, " ... and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my
name. Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan /that is
the churches of this world7, w.hich say that they are Jews.:-." You see,
in the New Testament, he Is a Jew who is one spiritually, and not by
birth. In other words, they say they belong but "are not /of the true:
church/, but lie. Behold, I will make them to come and worship befor()
thy_feet, Lnot to worship us, but to worship before our feet, worshippi.
Gog!,
and to know that I have loved thee."
You know that this church is the only one of the seven that God doesn't
attribute any fault to. And yet we're full of faults. But God has
told us this one thing: He has used us to get this message out around
the world.
As I said earlier, God has called me back to live longer for two reasons.
One is to try to set this Church back in order and to wake you people
up. That is why I'm here. Yet I feel like the Apostle Paul. He said
that he would rather go and depart and be with Christ -- in other words,
go to the sleep of death and wake up in the resurrection and be in the
Kingdom of God -- but he said it was more necessary for the church that
he stay on. And that's why I'm here, brethren.
My job is hard, it's not easy. And I have to push myself to do things
now. In fact, I have to push myself about ten times harder than I did
twenty years ago. Still I am no older in mind and in power than I was
twenty years ago.· Nevertheless, rumors are going around that I'm senile,
i
that I don't know what's going on -- that my head is in a cloud. Do I
sound like it? Did some other minister tell me what to say here today? ,,:;
On the contrary, there are ministers sitting before me toaay that are
:
going to disagree with what I am saying. No man gave me these words,
0 ;�,.
but Jesus Christ did -- you better realize where this message is coming
i
from.
