Mar 10:27 And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.
Mar 10:28 Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee.
Mar 10:29 And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's,
Mar 10:30 But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.
1Pe 2:21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
Mat 5:10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

*ALWAYS WHEN GOD'S SERVANT
STANDS TRUE TO THE WORD, ALL FORSAKE HIM.

91 How I think of that, how a servant that'll stand true to the Word, sooner or
later, just remember, the people are going to forsake him. Now, we want to strike that just for a
few minutes, and I won't keep you too long now, 'cause I want you here in the
morning. Always when God's servant
stands true to the Word, all forsake him. And it... Now, just take anywhere you want to, any time in the Bible or in history, that when a man
stayed true, no matter how popular he was, when he stayed true to the Word, the
time come when the religious world forsaken him and cut him off. Now, just read it as you take the Bible
from Genesis over to the Book of Revelation, and pick up in the Pre-Nicene
Council and take down to the Nicene Fathers, and every man, every saint, every prophet, every true servant
of God that stayed with the Word, was forsaken by the ecclesiastical thing and
cast down. And
Paul was one of them.
92 And if there'd be one today, it'd be the same thing. It's
exactly the truth. You have to hit that place. It has to come. They think that
a man that would have a ministry like that, he ought to have the world right
under his thumb. He should, but they won't come under his thumb. See? And a man
like that wouldn't put a ministry, a world under his thumb; he'd put it under His Master's thumb; 'cause he's not
here representing himself; he's representing his Master.
*I THINK WE SHOULD BE THE
HAPPIEST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD TO SEE THE LIVING GOD MOVING AROUND US LIKE THIS,
KNOWING THAT WE HAVE FORSAKEN ALL TO FOLLOW HIM.

E-63 Brother, if that ain't better than old creeds and stuff
of the world, and belonging to some another there that's denying all that...
Why, I think we should be the happiest people in
the world to see the living God moving around us like this, knowing that we
have forsaken all to follow Him. Amen. That makes me feel religious.
Forsaking all to follow the Lord Jesus. The same today, you got to forsake all.
Just like they did back there, you have to do too.
*JESUS GAVE UP EVERYTHING.
FORSAKING.ALL_
TEMPE.AZ TUESDAY_ 62-0123
E-64 Now. You talking about somebody forsaking something;
let's look what for Jesus--Jesus forsook for us. Jesus
gave up everything. He had a home in heaven. And He gave up His home in heaven
and came to the earth, and did not even have a place to lay His head. That's
right. He become so low, till He didn't even--so
poor, till He didn't even have a bed to sleep in. He said, "The
foxes has dens, and the birds has air--of the air has nests, but the Son of man
don't even have a place to lay His head," See?
But what did He get
for that? He got raised so high till He has to look down to see heaven. He came
to the world took the lowest name that could be took in the world. He had the
lowest name, took the lowest name, was called Beelzebub. Beelzebub, the... When
they seen Him discerning the spirits there like that, they said, "He's a
fortuneteller. He's Beelzebub, a devil." Fortunetelling is the devil. And
they called Him a devil, the lowest of all. He had the lowest name.

TEMPE.AZ TUESDAY_ 62-0123
E-65 He went to the lowest city.
And the smallest man in the city looked down on top of Him: Zacchaeus (That's--that's
right.) of Jericho. Way down--he sure did. He had the lowest name that there
was in the earth. He was--come to the world with a... Illegitimate they called
Him, because they really believed that the Baby was borned out of holy wedlock.
He had that to contend with to begin with. Then called the name of Beelzebub,
the lowest that could be got. He forsaken His heavenly place and came to take
that.
But God gave Him a
Name above every name that's named in the heaven, every name that's named in
the earth, till the whole family in heaven and earth is named the Lord Jesus.
Hallelujah. That's it. He forsook; He was rewarded.
Sure He did. All right.

E-66 He came to the earth, Creator of heavens and earth, and
He had nothing to eat. Satan tempted Him. Fasting, for us, but He received food
that the others knew nothing about. One day He said so. "I have
food."
*HE HAD NO SHELTER OF HIS
OWN, BUT HE IS OUR SHELTER.
FORSAKING.ALL_
TEMPE.AZ TUESDAY_ 62-0123
E-67 Here on earth, He had no shelter, they said, no place, no
house, nothing, belonged to Him. But you know what? He
became a Shelter for every one of us. God made Him a Shelter for the whole
human race. He had no shelter of His own, but He is our Shelter.
*HE TAKES SINNERS AND MAKES
SONS OUT OF THEM.
FORSAKING.ALL_
TEMPE.AZ TUESDAY_ 62-0123
E-69 We find He didn't have... He had to become a shelter for
all of us. He gave up his Sonship between Him and the Father to be made sin for
us. Did you know that? He knowed no sin; became sin for us. Our sins was placed
upon Him. He gave up the Sonship to become sin; now
He can make sinners sons. Amen. That's the good part. Take sinners and make sons, when He give up his Sonship
to become sin. Now, He takes sinners and
makes sons out of them. Amen. What a privilege. Yes, sir.
God won't be undersold
on anything. No, sir. You can't do this, because God sees to it. His Son became sin offering that He might buy--now take
sinners and make sons of God out of them. What a beautiful thing that
is. Now. Yes, sir.
*HE BECAME WEAK THAT HE MIGHT
BE OUR STRENGTH.
FORSAKING.ALL_
TEMPE.AZ TUESDAY_ 62-0123
E-70 He--He gave his strength. He
became weak that He might be our strength. He is our all-sufficient Strength. We
don't need no other strength but the strength of the Lord Jesus. "He is my Strength from day to day. Without Him I
would fall," said the poet. How wonderful.
What you forsake...
What you receive for what you have forsook, my... Forsake the world.
Forsake your own ideas. Forsake your doubts. Forsake your flusterations. Forsake
it, and receive Him. Believe Him.
*... IT BEHOOVES US THEN,
THAT WE WOULD GIVE OUR LIFE, AND OUR ALL, AND FORSAKE EVERYTHING THAT'S
WORLDLY,
FORSAKING.ALL_
TEMPE.AZ TUESDAY_ 62-0123
E-75 What else did Jesus do? He
gave and forsook His own Life. He gave His Life to save yours and mine. Because
that He--that He gave His life... He didn't have to lay it down. He done it willingly. He didn't have to do it, but He
done it willingly, because He could save you. And now He's the only one
that can save you.
There's nothing else
can save you. I know there's a denomination that says that their church saves
you. You're saved by the church. You're saved by Jesus Christ or you're lost.
Yes, sir. Nothing you can do, not one thing you can do, only repent of your
sins. Jesus Christ is the Saviour. Yes, sir. He gave--He gave His life for you.
Now, I think that today, while we're closing, we might say this: that it behooves us then, that we would give our life, and our
all, and forsake everything that's worldly, everything that's ungodly, all of
our unbelief, and everything, to get to follow Him like those disciples did. Wouldn't
you like to do that, follow Him?
