24-1021P_FAITHFUL SERVICE UNTO THE LORD PT-7 (DEEPLY SINCERE)

Jud 1:1  Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called: 

Jud 1:2  Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied. 

Jud 1:3  Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. 

Psa 89:1  Maschil of Ethan the Ezrahite. I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations. 

Psa 89:2  For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens. 

Psa 89:3  I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant, 

Psa 89:4  Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah. 

Psa 89:5  And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD: thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints. 

Psa 89:6  For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD? 

Psa 89:7  God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him. 

Psa 89:8  O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee? 

Psa 89:9  Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them. 

Psa 89:10  Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm. 

Psa 89:11  The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them. 

Psa 89:12  The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name. 

Psa 89:13  Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand. 

Psa 89:14  Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face. 

Psa 89:15  Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance. 

Psa 89:16  In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted. 

Psa 89:17  For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted. 

Psa 89:18  For the LORD is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our king. 

Psa 89:19  Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people. 

Psa 89:20  I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him: 

 

*BUT THEN ANY MAN THAT'S DEEPLY SINCERE… DEEPLY SINCERE, GOD'S UNDER OBLIGATION THEN TO YOU.

THE.ANGEL.OF.THE.COVENANT_  PHOENIX.AZ  MONDAY_  54-0301

  E-22    And sometimes, some of your own household will be the one that'll discourage you first, when you're claiming God's promise for yourself.

But then any man that's deeply sincere, as you, you, or any of you here tonight, would be to come in here for this meeting, deeply sincere, God's under obligation then to you. If you've made your effort, God's under obligation to make His effort.
 
*YOU MUST LOOK TO WHAT GOD HAS SAID AND WHAT HE PROMISED, AND SEE HIM TO DO IT, THEN THAT'S YOUR ULTIMATE RIGHT THERE.

61      Even to our confessions! Now, I want you people that are coming, or here and hold... or on the--the tape, I want you to listen close now for a moment to this quotation. It--it...

62    Unless you are deeply sincere! And you cannot be sincere until you're positive understand. If you're presuming, or guessing, or hoping so, then there cannot be a depths of sincerity that God requires. It, faith, is not a "hope so" or "it could be right." It's got to be absolutely "Amen!" It's your ultimate. It--it--it's your--it's your absolute. It's the thing that you're tied to. See? You have come to your ultimate, that "It is the Truth and there's... It's nothing but the truth, and It must be thus!" And then when you realize that in your mind, then you've got to approach It with your whole life, soul, body, all that's in you, just completely sell out everything to it. As Jesus so graciously taught us in the man buying pearls, and he found the One of great price and he sold all his others to get to It. All the truths and everything that he had, thought they were good pearls, he--he... this One meant all to him. And when you find God's Ultimate, His Word, a promise upon a certain thing, you must know first that it is God's Word, that the thing that you're seeing being done is God. There--there's no--there's no "maybe so, it could be, it looks like it might be." "It is God!" Then when you get to that spot, then that's the Pearl of great price, you must get away from anything that anybody else tells you contrary to It. You must not look to what man has achieved. You must look to what God has said and what He promised, and see Him to do it, then that's your Ultimate right there. And then everything that you are, everything that you was, everything that you hope to be, must be placed upon This just as though it was death and life to you at that moment.
 
*YOUR MOTIVES AND YOUR OBJECTIVE, PLACE THAT ON GOD. THEN SEARCH FOR HIS PLACE, FIND WHERE HE SAID, AND BRING IT THERE.

GOD'S.ONLY.PROVIDED.PLACE.OF.WORSHIP_  SHP.LA  V-7 N-4  SUNDAY_  65-1128M

108      Now, you can't take this... your sincerity and all that you want to confess, you just can't take it to the Methodist altar, to a Baptist altar, to a Pentecostal altar, but there is a altar somewhere that He chose that He... to put His Name in it, and He would meet you at that place. Now, if you get everything running just right, it's going to run; everything's set in order. If there's a short in that wire, that light won't come on; because it's been grounded. And when you'll take one of God's Words or one of His places, and in your own heart have selfish objectives, it'll ground the power of God right there. If you do it because you want to be smart, you want to be different from somebody else, or something, right there it's grounded, it'll blow the fuse. You're wrong. You've got to come with sincerity, with all your heart. Your motives and your objective, place that on God. Then search for His place, find where He said, and bring it there. See?
 
*YOU'VE GOT TO PUT YOUR HEART IN IT; YOU GOT TO BE SINCERE. YOU'VE GOT TO MEET GOD…

FROM.THAT.TIME_  KLAMATH.FALLS.OR  SATURDAY_  60-0716

E-76    That's about the way serving the Lord, you know. You've got to put your heart in it; you got to be sincere. You've got to meet God, not go to church and make some cold, dry-eyed confession; go down there and stay down there...

…We come through; we stayed there at the altar, and the old mammies around us crying and praying and beating us on the back until something happened. We stayed there until we died, and was borned again, and become a new creature in Christ Jesus. Yes, sir. Too bad we got... We got to meet God. When man meets God, it's different. He's a... He's a different person from then on.
 
 

AS.I.WAS.WITH.MOSES.SO.I.WILL.BE.WITH.THEE_  JEFF.IN  V-16 N-2  SUNDAY_  60-0911M

86    I draw here with my finger a arch, a rainbow. That's a covenant God made with people. He made a covenant with the human race: He'd destroy the world no more with water. He made a covenant with each one of His apostles. He made a covenant with the prophet.

And yonder, some fifteen, fourteen, fifteen years ago (in 1937, May the 7th, 1937, I think it was), that God made a covenant with me saying, "You were born in this world to pray for sick people. If you can get them to believe you..." My heart was always been for the people. "If you'll get those people to believe you, and then be sincere when you pray, nothing will stand before your prayer."
I say this with sincerity and with a shame face. If there's anybody ought to have faith, would be me; to see what He done, where He brought me from, the ditch where I was hewed from; to see down through life, what He's done; see when I stand and say something, God will come right around and back it up, truth.

GETTING.IN.THE.SPIRIT_  CHICAGO.IL  FRIDAY_  61-0428

E-47    …And that's what we've tried to do for two thousand years. And Pentecostal people, you're doing the same thing, trying to pick Him up by organization. You'll never do it, separating yourself from other brothers. You've got to come back, and we got to be one. I don't care if the man's wrong. If he's wrong and sincere in his heart and you're right in your belief and--and you're wrong in the--acting the way you're acting. I'd rather be in his place than be in yours. That's right.

I'd rather be wrong in my doctrine and right in my heart. God will respect it more. So if a man is wrong, what of it? Help him. He needs help. Love him. If you can't love your enemy the same as you love those who love you, you're no better off than the publicans. That's right. That's what the Church has failed to get. I hope you get it tonight. I hope you see what I'm talking about.
 
  E-48    It's back to love, redeeming love. All the other things are fine, but we got to come back to fellowship with one another. And people said I fight organizations. I do not. I fight that system in there that's breaking up brotherhood. I've always done it. And I always will do it. That's right.
 
 
286    Some things, the Scriptures I had written down here, I never even touched; It went plumb off of them. I was led out there by the Holy Spirit. See? Some of the Scriptures, I never even touched to; I just went off on another thing altogether, once in a while hearing something come, turn over and find where it was at.

The Spirit speaking in every direction now. Oh, people, be honest, be sincere. Don't try to rest upon... See, you're--you're looking for something great and shiny, when all the prophets... Even David said at the coming of the Lord that every mountain would be brought low and the--and the low places would be made high, said the mountains would skip like little rams and all the leaves would clap their hands. Why, what did the people think that would be when the--Jesus came? What did it turn out to be? An old humble preacher, had no education, at nine years old went into the wilderness, not to be trained by man, but to be trained of God. Came out and stood with a piece of sheepskin wrapped around him with wool all over his face, furry all over, and hair hanging down his neck, living out in the wilderness off of locusts (that's grasshoppers), wild locusts and honey when he lived in the wilderness... and come and stood in the mud on the banks and proclaimed the coming of the Messiah. And the Messiah walked right down, an ordinary Man among the people, and was baptized.
 

A.TRUE.SIGN.THAT'S.OVERLOOKED_  JEFF.IN  V-6 N-2  SUNDAY_  61-1112

  288    And all the prophets declared it to be one of the greatest things that ever happened; and it was. See? They look for something great, shiny, something to take place. See? The Holy Spirit doesn't shine; It glows. Shine is of the world. Glow is of God.

Psa 89:21  With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him. 
Psa 89:22  The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him. 
Psa 89:23  And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him. 
Psa 89:24  But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted. 
Psa 89:25  I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers. 
Psa 89:26  He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation. 
Psa 89:27  Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth. 
Psa 89:28  My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him. 
Psa 89:29  His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven. 
Psa 89:30  If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments; 
Psa 89:31  If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments; 
Psa 89:32  Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes. 
Psa 89:33  Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail. 
Psa 89:34  My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips. 
Psa 89:35  Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David. 
Psa 89:36  His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me. 
Psa 89:37  It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah. 
Psa 89:38  But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth with thine anointed. 
Psa 89:39  Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground. 
Psa 89:40  Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strong holds to ruin. 
Psa 89:41  All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to his neighbours. 
Psa 89:42  Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice. 
Psa 89:43  Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle. 
Psa 89:44  Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground. 
Psa 89:45  The days of his youth hast thou shortened: thou hast covered him with shame. Selah. 
Psa 89:46  How long, LORD? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire? 
Psa 89:47  Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain? 
Psa 89:48  What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah. 
Psa 89:49  Lord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses, which thou swarest unto David in thy truth? 
Psa 89:50  Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people; 
Psa 89:51  Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O LORD; wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed. 
Psa 89:52  Blessed be the LORD for evermore. Amen, and Amen.
