0:00I got saved at 14 I’m 84 almost 85
0:06sobbing 770 years have seen old candle tragedies in the church wars and rumors
0:12of wars popular men gone popular and so forth but people looking unto Jesus and
0:18reading the word and remembering these old paths of my daddy used to talk about
0:24Simone and all the other looks like trivia
0:34you and I’ve often said that I didn’t come
0:42to jesus’ as an old english himmler we used to sing so often attended Jesus I
0:47was wearing one and said I didn’t because I was 14 and I didn’t understand
0:56my father’s evil for God I didn’t come because I was convicted of sin I came because of the blanks in my life like he
1:03relished reading the word of God and he relish go into prayer meetings even half nights of Prayer and also more than ever
1:11he relished being a street corner preacher and that deliver the him by
1:18faith looks up to these album of Calvary well the last Anders’s made thy rich grace in praat strength to my fainting
1:25heart my zeal inspire and my dad had inspired zeal God lifted the beggar from
1:32the dunghill he completely changed my daddy been to a certain system of religion which made him fearful and
1:40terrified of priestcraft and all that and he got marvelously born again as a
1:45result of hearing David Matthews who went through the Welsh revival then he
1:51wrote the classic is still a classic on I saw the Welsh revival and my daddy had never been in meetings like that and the
1:57fervor and the joy and that particular I remember seeing David Matthews when I was 5 years of age and never seen him
2:05but it precise sang like is Ralph like an OL and had a shock of black wavy hair
2:11and he had to see you on the other join the Lord and that stirred and my daddy got saved well as his out of that assay
2:19he became fervent in spirit serving the Lord I never swum downcast and never saw him
2:26suggesting about giving up but I mean when he got saved it he tossed away his
2:32interest in professional football and everything else which which of course became a style in England after you said
2:40you never go to a movie never go to professional match there’s so much profanity and so far and when I saw that
2:46and I saw the join we live in comparative poverty we had much money my
2:51daddy was a and as a result of that as a say at 40 d2 which were half night to Prather with
2:57three other men there and they prayed a man that is a big husky man taking his coat off at one o’clock in the morning
3:04in a room that had no heat and pray with tears and further from that very day I
3:09recognized as something far beyond what the average Christian had and then after
3:15that of course I went to the Methodist class meeting till I was 14 and that was full of the joy Lord and I mean people
3:22spoke as though God lived with them all the time and he did and there was that
3:27same candle seal there I mean even in
3:34those days back in the nineteen aught – well that’d be brown 1912 district for
3:40World War one even that there’s a half-hour song singing before the Sunday night service but they didn’t sing
3:45choruses except choruses from hymns or they sang great hymns like and can it be
3:51and so forth and yet men who would explode in a meeting when you were seeing and can he be the ice but my
3:57chains fell off one old boy would jump at the tears hold on his face he’d strike it up at the end there’s a woman
4:03to the left of us I used to watch her because and they could go red and then she suddenly burst with a hallelujah mo
4:09we talked about the joy of the Lord I’ve never seen anything like it well at that time Samuel Chadwick was
4:15preaching in they had revived on the local level in Leeds and of course the
4:21conversation our house we have you ever had a newspaper there’s no talk about films of course we were just coming out
4:27then it was all about God and Mishra’s and so forth daddy told me to sipan’s equal to funding the Japan rescue
4:34mission I was about 12 I think I heard cities don’t give a lake to a morning
4:40and later saw miss cable of Miss franceska friends that walk through
4:45China in the Gobi Desert and all that kind of my daddy wherever there was anything fervent ultimate at that time
4:56Doncaster was 25 miles away from us well
5:01does the Pentecostal fellowship there and I forget the name of the Bible teach
5:07of amide ugly muddy we get on a bus to town another bus from town to Doncaster then walk the rest of the way to the
5:14fellowship and stay there a weekend and come back radiant to soybean in the Upper Room which to just about had
5:21because um Smith Wigglesworth or one of the teachers there and all those guys
5:28and nobody in those days scornfully said said fatally is fake healing I mean
5:37there were living evidences of people spontaneously getting out of wheelchairs and so far but he wasn’t that maybe it
5:44was transformation in personality I mean they went back to the church is not prayer meetings and in our town we have
5:53little man his only I don’t think he weight above about a hundred and ten pounds and for years he fasted and
5:59prayed even a penny castle which was despised in fact his wife said to him
6:05pray he’d be praying in another room he was like you know a man having a
6:10personal encounter with God his rustle with God and then George Everest came along in 1927 the whole city was swept
6:17in three weeks with a whole eagle and the church in in Israel today it’s
6:22called bridge Street in Leeds England that church is still it’s in its third and largemont when other churches are
6:29going down the still of that same they were born in the father maintain the fire but they maintained proud all the
6:36time well then from there I was in a
6:42factory working the factory one day and I heard a voice say follow me and I turned it was so real
6:48I took my tape off my neck house of tailors cutter for my shears down and prayed I remember saying clearly to the
6:55Lord Lord not only will I not go back I won’t even look back and that day I
7:00applied to go to cliff college and then went Chadwick was the principal there well Chad the birds both had a fall
7:07together so the great character in America at that time was a B Simpson found with Christian mission lands and
7:14also in Scotland was a man by the name of
7:20McIntire a little book hidden life of prayer through the classics it still
7:26published better aged asleep over well well those three menu will cost across
7:32the Atlantic there’s no telephone in those days and mail was slow but they corresponded all the time he cuts her on
7:38on one level while Chadwick hand out and write offices Church in the middle of
7:43Leeds there’s a oversee statue of of Queen Victoria with a big spread in
7:50front of it men used to stand on them preached well an atheist stood there and he laughed at people came here to church
7:57since gone them Antonio Lydia man standing a coward’s Castle a pulpit he talks one way you can and listen to me
8:03and then listen I’ll chat him in doubt and listen to this man’s calling the Bible and everything a one day said
8:09listen I’ve listened to you three weeks you dead come on listen to me you come and listen to me so I come Nate so it
8:14came and there’s a big horseshoe gallery and right obviously the preacher was o’clock and this man the leaders sat
8:21behind the clock and the other ten minutes are with him and they came to the altar the first night they were there and he wiped out the whole
8:27testimony of the 80s then he wiped out thee all the devilry in the community at
8:32level on my honor on a local state every dive on a local level and it was all
8:38prayer I mean he wrote them he wrote the book the way to Pentecost and after that he wrote the build the path of prayer
8:43and that’s where he lived and that’s why they rubbed on southsun so many of us
8:49that we we saw a living example with a man who walked in the power of the Spirit well then I could go on for long
8:57enough and I won’t all the time I’ve tried to feed myself on had gathered books had a record books on prayer and a
9:05whole stack of books on historic revival which we don’t have anymore and Mary
9:10hasn’t had a revival in the last 70 years that I know I mean revival at
9:15closer to shops and as soon as people get home they want to get to the same tree and and they don’t stay to semuc
9:22lots of a they still ate till midnight after when the Holy Ghost really comes I
9:28think maybe offer we’re praying in ignorance from the his spirit a camera what we want him to come for just to increase our numbers
9:36just so I kids won’t go to the devil I mean how he jealous for God’s glory and to me that’s all revivals all about
9:43revival is an invasion of God by the spirit mystery America does novel ruin the next ten years it’s going to be
9:50horrible living in this country crying it out of hand now a morality abounds herpes aids every devilish thing is
9:59prospering Plus all the power of the cults a multi-million dollars so it’s
10:04inevitable that we have rebuttal
10:12Paul said would to God you can bear with me in my fall again Wendy bear with me
10:18for I’m jealous over you with godly jealousy 10-5 espoused you to one husband so I may present you as a chaste
10:26virgin to Christ but I fear lest by any means as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtlety so your minds
10:32should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ for he that cometh preaches another jesus yet
10:39whom we have not preached or if you receive another spirit which he have not
10:44received or another gospel which he have not accepted yea you might well bear
10:50with him and is there another gospel
10:55than we’re listening to it’s not a gospel what is that gospel well in
11:04English call it modernism or you call it liberalism hear that I mean that Baptist
11:09now if a longtime devout contention about the the Bible is it the very word of God I mean can we all traited as I
11:18say very often we’ve revised it but God never has and I still think the King James versus neighbors to the best and
11:24those old-fashioned guys preach it I think brother this we’ve almost no
11:30preachers in America everybody’s teaching teaching teaching I think I’ve 500 tapes in there that people’s I think
11:38I got 40 tapes in the first month of this year you must read my interpretation of Revelation you must
11:43read my story that was there’s at least 50 John the Baptist’s in the country saw
11:49the thing there if a guy tell him John the Baptist’s have the increased your insurance and say why has he only got to
11:55live six months ago thrown on all but we’re not preaching the gospel when all
12:01we preach it well as one was two groups there’s one group now that’s preaching
12:08signs and wonders all the time there’s another one that says it’s love and signs with its signs and wonders in
12:13God’s name what do you do for Judas he saw everything Jesus didn’t look what it did what are some of the guys to being
12:20preached about the Holy Ghost and miracles where are they now ones in jail the others in the gut of comparative
12:26we’ve got to get back to the cross I if I be lifted up I will draw all men you
12:34get the Emmaus Road going down the Emmaus Road it says the Jesus hold on to them the scriptures and they open their
12:40eyes and they of their understanding but then you’d think after they’d and to
12:47read the last chapter Luke and it says they will saw something there that they son takla Jesus had breakfast with it
12:54one of them broke bread and he took gave him bread the other one broke a honeycomb oh well can you imagine you
13:00giving Jesus personally honeycomb and he puts his hand out there’s a nail a hole through it and they saw the most
13:07astounding miracle in history the resurrection of Jesus from the dead and wait a minute he says come with me and
13:13they went to what that so that makes most astounding miracle the ascension of Jesus into heaven can they live on that
13:19can they live it live there isn’t a devil in Hell will ever love us we had breakfast with Jesus we talked with
13:25Jesus we said of me with Jesus can you live on that forever Jesus says no you can’t or we saw him ascend into heaven
13:32not many of us but we saw him the two most outstanding and yet Jesus s
13:38territory being dude you can’t live on the emotion of it that’s a trouble with
13:44that the most horrible thing I know that happens in the evangelism today we don’t
13:49value with a human soul when we’re going to get serious about being serious about the most serious thing in the world the
13:55birth of people at the altar i watch the close of a service in dallas a few weeks ago at the end about 15 people came in
14:03for four minutes they said a prayer and gone away we’ll look at my reaction to
14:09that brother was this I can’t get my car through a carwash in four minutes can they pass from death unto life can they
14:16put off the old man and put on the new man as usual to get can they get married to Christ in four minutes
14:23of course not in fact when you read seven Pentecostal pioneers which
14:28everybody should read because it’s still printed it tells you there that they had one place where they had meetings for
14:34three weeks and I forget the members of that nine 164 people came and everyone was dealt
14:41with personally we used to go to a city without money and pitch a tent and stay there 12 weeks the churches are still
14:48there 60 years after but everybody came to the altar issue came I come with a Bible of the side of you and ask you
14:54what your problem or you wanted to be saved we took you through the scriptures if we spend an hour so what I don’t
15:03often watch TV I want your special those especial about three years ago of all
15:09the things we’re going to show on one of the but woody told Mel well it’s a
15:17special animals the birth of the giraffe I said to mother well darling I want to see this so any other guy said now
15:24listen I’ve already gone through this once but let me show you and he brought in this this female I said look ahead is

15:42giraffe he said now look she’s splitting a legs of the back you see that black thing hanging that’s a little baby and
15:48it’s gonna fall five to six feet according to the height of the animal onto a bed of straw so once I got to do
15:55with the gospel it broke my heart why because I watch that thing and he
16:00said now what’s in it now you see the things coming now I’ll watch what she said there and the thing dropped to the
16:06ground to the onto the big bed of straw and he said now this takes between three
16:12and four hours and he said I’ll watch and the little thing tried to get ugly
16:18rolled over it tied again it rolled over the trial up again it rolled the other way now what’s carefully said and the next
16:23time it tried the mother put a Foofa hind it’s it’s back sign lithium needs to know and she turned around and nodded
16:30and the little thing not it and he said that’s almost four hours so I run to the
16:37room to pray and mother said what’s wrong it’s our darling it takes four hours to get a baby giraffe ball it’ll
16:43take four minutes for somebody get born and our altars today oh well I grant
16:48said it mother one just a few minutes a few minutes Ingo name what it means their human is was
16:56gethsemane few minutes was a temptation illness a few minutes we’re trying to
17:02get people I guarantee that not 5% of people in America of England in
17:07genuinely born again of the spirit they born again of a decision they give up a few lousy habits some of them and so
17:14them no they go right back and then you tell you there’s nothing in it dear brother I I was at a certain place I pre
17:21saw the new birth I thought that would pretty much liberty and I said if any of
17:26you want this experienced at birth in Christ come for the men come down the
17:31aisle and go to the room on the right women go down on the left so there are a dozen each group well that was that was
17:39nine o’clock and we stayed in that room till 10 helping men and they were really
17:44broken before God then at Ellicott have knock on the door I said come in and here’s the pastor they said can I bring
17:51this lady in will you pray with our seller will if you station a big gorgeous looking blonde she knows when
17:57they hit the ground then she bursted and she said but I want to tell her something mystery me I said well tell me
18:03I was it she said this is the 14th time I’ve come out for this I went to a certain Bible school for three years we
18:10had three revivals of the year and each time I went that was nine times and he said since then I’ve been to other
18:15meetings somebody slips around round me and says don’t worry did jesus paid it all he knows when you said you sorry
18:22there that’s all that matters and I said that’s not true and I said that will stay with you while you really get a
18:29real relationship with God so we stayed and she passed from death to life how do
18:35I know because two years after I was passing the church she was coming out with a Bible and I said to her he said
18:42that’s a good woman you pray for the last time you were here she’s the best battle teacher we have that the thing
18:48was before she got saved and back to Bible School day she got married she got
18:53divorced yeah that charge had a broken heart a broken life it would have been avoided if she got saved the first time
18:59but she didn’t get saved she made a mental decision she wanted to be better’n she wanted to go to heaven
19:06but how many people really want to know I mean isn’t the essence of Christianity
19:12Christ in you the hope of glory there’s no other religion in the world what a man’s God comes and lives inside of him
19:18and we made it appear as though if you get saved of course you’re gonna give up all you George you give up these crazy
19:26habits you don’t go to movies you’re gonna ballgames you Christ is only one but what on the other hand what about
19:33peace that passes all understanding what about a home eternal in the heavens what about the eternal aspect we don’t
19:40present that I guy who follows in here that are we and they came from a son I
19:47lied so came from Criswell similarly I wonder will said indeed it’s a mystery I
19:52now to put a sermon together now to get words together but I’ve no power the man burst into the house and I just open up
19:59a paper and you your pictures in there they said well I didn’t put it somewhere that’s over Europe reaches I’ve had 300
20:05people saved in the last three months now how do you know and the end
20:11announcer well he said I don’t know I’ve often wondered they’ll come out and say a prank gone out and live the same it
20:17said they don’t live they born again you become a new creature if any man anywhere at any time being Christ and
20:24there’s no better example of that on day with only people he covers a lesson on
20:30if you know Jackie pulling Jean on Jackie well she was here to see me and I mean she goes to cheat on God till

20:48can have a gospel you can’t give a mental flip to those people and she
20:53stays with them until a born again of the Spirit of God as well almost amazing works in the world as far as I’m
21:00concerned the where are the people of me you add up all the people who made a profession of Christ in the last few
21:07years now Crusades or let me put it here then quit Adam a veteran mission from South America he said before I came up with
21:13Iranian I was talking to a veteran missionary and he said brother if you add up all the crusade
21:19in South America and all the people to everybody in South America’s been saved five times in the last 15 years well is
21:27it the same in this country all we talk about how many people came to the meeting how many people came forward why
21:33are the church is increasing I had a lawyer call me from one of the greatest judge in the country’s history at least
21:40a thousand people walked down the aisle in our church every year and after three years of doing that he said the church
21:47is still the same size we still have the same seating capacity the prayer meetings haven’t grown there’s no
21:54evidence except that these people come forward every Sunday why are they as I
22:04said to only their brother the darkness of this day is the gift of the church to the world the street meetings have gone
22:10dear God with all kinds of ministries rarely ever Tyler goes to hell how many
22:16churches do have the mega churches in Dallas I guess you can’t find one Street
22:22I spent fifty years of my life in three meetings every Saturday night I went out at 9:30 till midnight after every night
22:30first weather was snowing or raining a while we went out to the same place and people came out of taverns out of movie
22:37houses at 10 o’clock have stayed an hour and two hours in the cold no air
22:42conditioned buildings no nice no attractive singers just Testament I call
22:49a one month said this one was in jail this man who used to run around with women this man as a prison record this
22:55one over there used to beat his wife in the trench for this girl was a plus and put them out living flesh and blood
23:00nobody could argue people stand say why you the only preaching that town does this I don’t know except God told me to
23:08do it I’d do it well that’s where the lost people are a man will be an idiot to buy a hundred
23:14dollar fishing gear and fish in his bathtub and that’s all we do in church we’re fishing with the same people every
23:20week and people are dying without God
23:26I’m glad dear brother I was raised in a church where we had I know the preachers often body i devoured the Methodists
23:33implicated eighty years ago an angry sigh still doesn’t and does of him and when was aimed by Andrew Bonner go labor
23:40on splendidly spent I judge do the last as will it is the way the master when shown are the seven trade it still men
23:50dying down nestled your side without a hope to cheer the tomb take up the torch and wavy wide the torch the light
23:56Stein’s thickest gloom I go to the prayer meeting somebody will pray that after that somebody will pray the prayer
24:03of one of the greatest mother women there from India pours on him baby calm

24:36you to come back for Christmas or Thanksgiving do come back so they break up and come back they go back there unto
24:42intro they have to go with a camera they have to go the load of stuff you don’t find the old-fashioned missionaries
24:47going by they used to do Jackie went on a single ticket to Hong Kong when she was 19 she’s 44 now she’s still there
24:55she’s said a million tears but she’s had some of the greatest characters infamous
25:03characters save there how many people come forward in your church and you can
25:08go back afterwards and say you will you came to the altar that well what happened in your life I think that
25:14everybody that comes to the elder we should visit them during the week and be sure that they did pass from death unto
25:20life because what happens they say will I be now twice he never got anything well they can’t because I loose and
25:28mentally I don’t see any brokenness I see kids come for dinner in a true say
25:34they’re laughing and joining hands they go out and the first thing they do is stop at her
25:39a hotdog place or something they don’t go home to grieve and read the word and
25:44find out if it’s true they go back full of jollity and they sing on the bus we had a wonderful time but what are we
25:51doing the summer’s gone the harvest is Frances past and we’re not saved is that
26:04what your tongue yeah well not the same there brother I don’t believe that we we
26:10reach the conscience like some people like one of the classic things about
26:16toes you succour to me obviously well then remember when our famous American preacher Dale moody went to lemon the
26:22first de prisa lavitus is Yankee close the second day they laughter this style
26:28the third Bay Young Cambridge University men were there laughing these father it’s a temple laugher my style of my
26:35Americanism but he said in God’s name don’t laugh at the Word of God it says the word I would just assume handle
26:41fault lightning or what happened he’s an illiterate man it comparative no
26:48education he goes to London it goes from London to Scotland when Alexander White was the King of the
26:54pulpit at that time and Alexander wise sits on the edge of is hear it with his mouth um well for what is this one God
27:01it doesn’t know history too well does much quit for very correctly but there’s something about it so much so that
27:07across town there’s a vanadyl if your book call no a book written by Henry
27:13Drummond the greatest thing in the world is when the greatest classics enter and Alexander Weiss has to dominate come
27:19over and hear this fellow we have another leaf and suicided and they were spellbound what would have happened if
27:24he gone to London for three days it in he went for eight months he went to
27:30Scotland and and and the still they the tent hall is still there at I think they
27:35call it a tent hole because people came out of the tent the Modi had a went in that hole also
27:40the one of the greatest Bible schools ever Glasgow Bible Institute was founded
27:47because of that and the money was given to him but well I’ll tell you you talk about a background one of the most
27:54wonderful men ever saw was CT stud well CT stood daddy used to buddy with
28:00the King of England when I used to I used to do in World War two I went to the largest Air Force captain in the in
28:07the nation and had to go up a hill and to the right in the moon right I could see this head stay where CT used to live
28:12with a private race course well see T’s daddy went to London I mixed up with all the society and he had about this Yankee
28:20preacher let’s go well when he got there somebody asked a man to pray awhile well
28:27um well you call him now while moody was on the platform gonna preach they sang a
28:34hymn and said pray this guy went on and on a moody jump dog said let’s sing a song while this fella finishes so
28:40immediately they were happy you know the guy wasn’t tied up the formality well they listened and cetys I think his

28:53English critic cricket well they went and the whole society lied I went well
28:59Ct joined up with a K other six they from the Cambridge Center went to China I mean there’s all kinds of things
29:05happen out of that one revival of an illiterate man that didn’t care if they lots of his clothes and everything and
29:11he received opposition well nothing happened like that till the 1920s or 26
29:19or something that when when the judge jeffreys went to a whole Crusades in
29:25England and Stephen Jeffries and greater works than that and they go to a town
29:31without a penny and believe got to fill an auditory with three thousand people in a week and they did it and they
29:38weren’t great expositors well Roman Hume
29:44Jeremiah prophet says thus saith the Lord catch stand ye in the ways and see and
29:51ask for the old paths and where is the good way and walk therein and ye shall

31:59world to save us from hell to save us from sin and so they God but what does
32:05Jesus say in John 17 – that they may know thee the only true God and that’s
32:10the S we don’t know God if we knew God we’d said the world on fire if he knew
32:16God won’t beg for money we know things about God but we don’t know that we don’t know God but I want to tell you
32:22then in 1932 I priests in Swansea South Wales in a little of a room and it was a

33:39houses and theaters when amnon suddenly so he could rent them on Sunday so used to rent them Saturday and Sunday and he
33:45said he’s I’d been in that meeting he said people won’t believe you when you tell them and then I was that was 1932
33:54so he’s almost 60 ever and he said when you tell the world any better whether believe me not tell me as I want to know
34:01I don’t care if he puts my nose in the ground don’t care what you say as long as you realize that Duchess you’re a
34:07link with the past and my age rates who are you with another generation that doesn’t
34:12know God so say well I’ll tell you what happened he said William Booth could preach like nobody else from Jeremiah the harvest
34:19his pasture so many senators favori was and he had a gruff voice if those run with the footmen and they’re worried the
34:26Ollo doing the swelling of the job fired a volley which meant say hallelujah so they’ll draw hallelujah no and he said
34:33but what William Booth could a kid get men trembling he said he said as a
34:39matter of fact you’ll give him a hymnbook of maybe 25 pages and they’d
34:44sit with it on the shredded while they were they were so disturbed he said you could see whether he’s will
34:50have been all the back pew so full of shredded hip moves the same thing happened in 1926 had toe with the I told
34:57with the the greatest revivalist the islands have around WP Nichols Isabella
35:03when he said people used to shred the hymn books from a missile and the conviction they were so nervous and sweat wouldn’t off the noses not though
35:09it doesn’t happen anymore anyhow going back to this he said the old Willie
35:14would preach Hellfire boys and he could make his shake and he said but he could
35:20make an altar call so he will say now come to the mosses she come to the mercy
35:25come run fear lies you’re gonna hell and he couldn’t ever say eighth grade shout out where is lolly where is Molly well
35:32Commissioner lolly was one of the stores LaSalle they summon like Bringle and he
35:37said he was under the platform and it come out and they you stand close to each other you know like so well he gave
35:43me your we’ll be hanging down on me in Commissioner kill all his cows down to his ankles and say come out on
35:50all fours and do this would be a cloud of dust and then Laurie will begin to make an appeal you know come to the
35:56versus Eaton he said the altar will be lined and sometimes they wouldn’t come they said the general would turn round
36:03and roar out as you know play what everybody do down pretty unusual is a
36:09break but he said this day they prayed and nothing else I said again pray he
36:15said everybody’s nervous he not sunny to the old boys angry angry I sprained it
36:20with a lot log boat right now more right now and he said nobody came so a third time
36:26he draw you know get older God who said this meeting is going to go to hell these people are perishing some of them
36:32owe wealth is some of poor some ignorant some of backslidden pray and he said the
36:39Holy Ghost would take all of men on the back seat and lifted bodily although the congregation have brought
36:44them of the altar I’ve said to Pentecostal you so that you run for the door you say spiritual or something I
36:51said that there was an unwritten law the Salvation Army they call that church it a Koi you know like like the army does
36:58CRPS Corps and it was an unwritten law in the Salvation Army though when you
37:04finished your stream meeting at nine o’clock Saturday night you go to pray to midnight and he said to me we had men
37:11that would pray and when old men particularly would say a jump up maybe 12:00 or 1:00 and races and it shall
37:18victory victory they’ll be ten tomorrow and he said to be nine or ten saved or it said the 15
37:24will be 13 or 14 he said there was only one at well every time but he said remember we our stream meetings we got
37:30baptized every one age did in those days the world know how to do bathrooms the
37:36kept to what they call a power pots under the bed and they know is m-g know
37:42people run out throw it from the window and throw urine on them and they say we kept two coats she kept an old one with
37:48eggs and any went home and scrape them off and then you put your Sunday best on and he said bad he said who cares when
37:55there’s revival as I said to you you don’t have tried with as a fire Colonel Bringle was a biggest orator in America
38:02and I don’t know it was with a lottery winners offer to build him a biggest
38:08Church in America giving the biggest salary who would stay he said I’m going to London why because said there’s a
38:14fire as a man called William Booth who was a Methodist they got rid of him and he’s having revival and he went in that
38:20revival and he gathered all kinds of people to him but the cecum again but they had a
38:28burning you ended up RAM eating you you know you fell the glory the majesty of God and now you don’t do that like I was
38:36with the team Oh go well before the meeting and I went in the side room and they’d hot tea and cold tea and drinks and fruit and
38:43everything and trivia talking and straight off there to the platform how do you suddenly turn off and so we
38:50become spiritual we travel the country but I wore the lender thing though of the breadth of England with five college
38:56fellows we slept in fields and I we slept in churches we can get a penny wage in six months and nobody ever said
39:03a word because at night we’d kneel in the street at 10:00 and lever clock at nine people get saved in the street you
39:09don’t care a hallway you sleep we slept in sleeping bags for three years slept on the floor of churches anyway they
39:16take us in but we had revival the churches are still standing today but now I go to a meeting everybody’s really
39:23nice to see you and they want to talk I say we leave me alone winter we went
39:28whether we had a solid hour of prayer together a red leaf lots of 12 in the morning they made a bit of a rest in the
39:34afternoon and mostly went to prayer and we had a pre-meeting one hour before the night service went on the profile
39:40charged with the power of God and full of expectation and faith and now by now the elders were lined with people we
39:47don’t do that today we’ve got miss Sun so she’s number one on the chart through
39:52girl Sansa and his humanism we’re depending on something we have I mean you clap you go to uncharismatic meeting
39:59you’re being to the mall you stand and sing for 30 40 minutes we’re trying to work something up and God has to send
40:04something down I can remember dear brother when you went to a hole in this meeting in England or or a Pentecostal
40:11there were more people at the altar before the service and after I used to fear going when I was 14 I used to go my
40:18daddy used to take me to a Pentecostal meeting and the whole roar the fro before I let me praying with energy and
40:24crying to God when old man particulate say Come Lord and walking are mates now
40:29use the thing I hope he doesn’t cuz I’m scared to death he would but God used to come in the meeting and then at the end
40:36it enough to beg and sing emotional songs as room at the cross I forget it as room on the cross
40:43forget those room at the cross get on the cross and as Tozer said a man going
40:48down the road with the cross you know one thing about he wasn’t coming back how people don’t want to die there’s only two kinds of
40:56people in the world those who are dead to sin and those who are dead in sin and well in one of the two inside you talk
41:04about victory they laugh at you oh you can’t live in victory well then why why
41:10don’t you be a Buddhist or somebody want to do with somebody it says look I don’t just want to get so I want to be pure in
41:16how you can’t be pure in our to sesor one of the latest books off the press that you can’t who cares ahilla be what is a word of
41:23God say what did Jesus say to the bad woman that came to him go and sinless he
41:31says that to a woman who has been spending it in a barrel a morality before the cross but is about much Paul
41:38say that in the stole still s no siree is cut off what we needed America dear
41:49brothers is more than ever we need people to go forth for the new birth message forget all about tongues forget
41:55all about miracles and signs and wonders in case of not happening anyhow let’s
42:01get back to real genuine conversion why most of our kids our teenagers they go
42:06to her you could then go to Christine Campbell Christian cam so much better than others I mean I’d a mission here very one of
42:14the few men I really respected the world he came from Indian he came through Hawaii I went to a very famous Bible
42:21School er what do you think they said well he said the girl shots was so bad when they came toward me I was disgusted
42:26when II went the other way it was worse so he said to the world-famous leader you’ve no dress code here he said what
42:33do you mean he said well the girls come towards reason you can’t tell their shots on the social when they go the
42:39other way they’re terrible and they reply go for the famous leader was as long as the chicks are not showing that
42:44all right so as a girl’s back side to be showing then you can’t even not preach holiness
42:50you can’t preach mothers to these days because kids are used to getting sane and then straight back to the old way
42:56they go mix make mix rain in some of the meetings around here they’ll have two mystery groups go to wedding world or
43:03what a guys want us stand with half-naked women women in bikinis or as near as they can to there
43:09and a man came to see me a few weeks ago he said he’d been to a mere minister
43:15near here and he said I went to the meeting last and he was very good they enjoyed it but then he said this morning
43:20they said we were meeting at the swimming pool he said there was my wife for the first time in alive by five
43:26children saw the mother almost naked stunning in a pool and I realized this is not for me he left in another man
43:32left not after and he said we if you can’t have modesty where can you
43:37have it and they don’t want to pray they know every type of Prayer but the old Salvation Army thrived on prayer the
43:45greatest revivals in history shank tongue revival when over there Munson
43:53was there and the woman that died last year 100 years old
44:00Bertha Smith with a Southern Baptist she was born again see if it were the Holy
44:06Ghost in that revival and they expected God to move in phenomenal ways they
44:11didn’t advertise he don’t have to advertise it what we need is God in the midst if God is in the midst a lot of
44:21our stuff will never take place just let God come is there it presence
44:30that happened in the Welsh revival you know when you go to revival now the big
44:35guy gets up they sing then Bev says somebody’s going to sing then something else sensor and
44:41it’s all programmed beforehand now can God come in but one of the things that I I i said i went with a man who that well
44:49swoon who went through the revival with the with William Booth but then I said
44:57what about the world should have attacked everyone having the world’s revival he said I was with William Booth in his office we were having meetings in London
45:04and somebody sent me no my wife revival has broken out as a young man in his 20s
45:10Evan numbers and it’s packing everywhere he goes he won’t even let them publicize him he won’t let them put his picture in
45:17the paper they’re just announced it’s coming – swans in every church in town is filled because they don’t know what is going so
45:24he said well I knew I tried the afternoon I had I could leave Friday
45:30afternoon and that Saturday free and I can come back Sunday and get to the
45:35others from any morning so I said I went there meeting was counted in one meeting Evan Roberts comes in there’s 800 people
45:42which isn’t big for America but there it’s a largest hall in town and Evan walks down to the front seat sits down
45:51vows his head and prayed for three hours our people walk out but then he stood up
46:00for 15 minutes is that ever the hurdle like in your life the Holy Ghost came upon him he was a big man when he prayed
46:07God just came down as I jumped in the audience and that happened more than
46:13once but he said once I did that young man and of course the Wells can sing
46:19right nobody on earth God me although great deal over these are the great hymns and they said at the end of the
46:24meeting he said you go she ended the meeting will no no no no no no II just
46:30day after we’d prayed for three hours and spoke for 50 minutes you went out at
46:3610 o’clock at 9:00 he prayed the whole night for the anointing for the next day I guys don’t do that ago sin dog and say
46:44silly jokes we want to be spiritual and come with spiritual camel hot and cold
46:50all out for God all out for the Cowboys God says no and you’ve done it for 25
46:56years why not quit and start something different okay so then he said I stayed
47:02the first day a boy said I was hope here’s this young man preaching right nobody had ever preached in my life
47:09praying is nobody up rain tears and he said I listened the first day thought
47:15well III can still get the train overnight and get back to my office Monday morning but boy he said Sunday
47:21night was better so I stayed the next day and then I thought well I’m in trouble any other general be after me
47:28oh no no because I can use this day is my day off for this week and he
47:34kept bogged me with himself like that and he goes home on Saturday Friday night it goes in the office he said
47:44William boot just turned on and said Russell what have you been you know about to me and he said you said quietly
47:51general I’d been to heaven do you mean we’re happy to heaven what do you mean
48:02you’ve been to heaven he said sir the Spirit of God is on the man in Wales a
48:07young man almost without tutoring mbmb into a Salvation Army college but God is
48:14upon him he’s been in hiding for 13 years dear God he’s only 26 years when we pray
48:22for 13 years I said to preachers when I go tell I said listen you can does that
48:30you say I need a vacation you don’t need you need a cave I said could you go for three so you can’t go for three hours
48:36without turning TV on you they need grace to pull down strongholds you need grace to stop TV that’s the devilish
48:42thing this list it’s not the devilish your choices anyhow he said the general
48:49Tsin well tell me about it tell me about Lisa he said the general dis relaxing it and I told him how God had worked he said
48:56there’s no begging people they come and rush to the scene and crying he said the police are not arresting anybody the the
49:04judges are not that the courts are closed the taverns are closed they are prayer meetings Nicole mine they used to
49:11take a little tin you know with you when you go in a food tin you take and and
49:17that they call you out in there snap you’ve only little time I mean and they need us now before they stop working and
49:23then they spend the rest of time praying in the dinner or singing in the coal mines and he said I went on to tell him
49:29what miracles were being honest he said the general put his finger up he said he
49:35said remember Russell he said in the
49:40very early days of any first days of the salvation um it was like that the glory the Lord came down
49:46we’re getting to commercial we’re getting to mechanical we’ll have to go back to the glory of the Lord in the
49:54same way and although Bible says it’s pray without ceasing doesn’t say preach
49:59without ceasing don’t say do miracles it says pray and what light somebody may
50:04ask me if I know you fellas will not say well I met them but I know I don’t know
50:10anybody till I prayed with him I don’t care who he is and I know so the
50:15outstanding personnel is in the world today but I’m praying with them so I don’t know them but once a man owes his
50:21heart and it’s one thing for us to stand between I stand before God on behalf of
50:28people it’s a great thing stand before God on behalf of people and stand before
50:34God and tell me for people on behalf of God and I quoted the other day some people worry about the 34th chapter of
50:43of Exodus where moser been on the mountain and God says let me alone
50:49I said that’s God saying to a man leave me alone I said they’ve got never say
50:55that to you I said it’s wonderful when a man lays hold of God it’s a wonderful
51:00wonderful thing then one central a man lays hold of God but when God lays hold of a man and God says let me alone now
51:07lets me destroy these people but are we not there John Wesley preached on Romans
51:158:16 more than anything else for the witness of the Spirit and when I want the spirit to wear witness I’m walking
51:22in holiness I want you to bear witness I’m speaking truth or when you do I said you know don’t borrow his language in
51:28Romans 9 where Paul said I call a Holy Ghost to bear witness and I lie not can
51:34the Holy Ghost bear witness that’s it in essence what Paul says then I’ll be damned if need be follow me you’ll just
51:40rend the heavens and come down and I said you came you keep praying again as
51:46I was 64 for all that that was friend Evan and God shoots back rend your hearts and not your garments don’t put

1:03:02something if anyone they found the temple of God him shall God destroy now what you do God’s going to be stronger
1:03:09man did Jimmy Swaggart the other thing is tell me for five billion people are
1:03:15you and I will with all the Archangels they’re all the apostles of the old of the New Testament all the prophets of
1:03:23the Old Testament gazing on me and God reads my record oh we lost sight of the judgment if we began every meeting in
1:03:30the light of the judgment with it prostrate before the end of this survey you wouldn’t think about running home to turn the lousy TV off there LaPenta
1:03:38castle meetings brother used to go 8:00 in the morning and stay till five or six at night they had a meal on the grounds
1:03:44and a particular in America and then have enough to unsession an evening session at three or four servants I
1:03:51don’t so we have to go to that but this is nobody’s handle I question him shall
1:03:56God destroy not his record be destroyed by he shall be destroyed
1:04:04how can a man mix with a holler when he knows his body is the temple of the Holy Ghost let his holy in his head I mean a
1:04:11body is the temple they see awesome when you think two men five years ago at the world at their
1:04:18feet tim is striking about again because in God called him to evangelize the
1:04:23world in the first place that’s wrong he said it nobody better David Wilson went to him two years before that mess up he
1:04:30went to tip PTL two years before and told them and they wouldn’t listen to him no good saying there no friends they
1:04:37were so arrogant they became a lawn to themselves nobody dare correct them they
1:04:44wouldn’t listen to counsel they got on a crash on earth as I said the world I got on a roll
1:04:49trigers taking three million a weekend I I hear it still takes in a million
1:04:55million a week but where’s the power I’m
1:05:03not looking for a modern Elijah I’m looking for a kind of a hundred Elijah’s in different eras two to come we’ve had
1:05:10all the other would you respond to this
1:05:19passage of scripture from Isaiah and long would you say Isaiah 29 verse 13 it
1:05:26says wherefore the Lord said for as much as his people draw near me yes their
1:05:31mouths some of their lips do honor me but have removed their heart far from me yeah and their fear and toward me she’s
1:05:42taught by the precept of men yeah their fear towards me as taught by the precept
1:05:49of me it’s all being watered down I mean don’t fear I mean got in teaching us the precinct the fear of God and not the
1:05:56Spirit of God teaching us the period oh yeah but I mean you got the again the
1:06:04more I read the more I’ve read the last month of Noah I just think I’ve read the Bible with eyes closed before he was
1:06:11moved with fear did he think what do you think happened there brother the first ten years after he told those people is
1:06:18building they are don’t cut that tree down Adam used to know that tree what are you doing ruining the
1:06:24countryside cutting it trees down what he doing all lying there and he got his family with him they were
1:06:29the Philomela one seventeen eighteen-year-old kids there must have been 100 years oh but anyhow the fact is
1:06:35after 10 years I say listen you old fool there used to be a man going a mile gumpa says an old man went home down
1:06:41there with a white beard with his hands raised to heaven remember they’d never seen a Bible they’d never seen a priest
1:06:46never seen an altar never seen a sacrifice and yet enoch walks up and down don’t care a hill of beans and God
1:06:54made a hole in the sky and he saw something that hasn’t happened yet the Lord cometh with ten thousands of
1:07:00his Saints we think gentle Jesus meek and mild is coming forget it everybody likes that him Charles rested
1:07:07on it what about I wrote to ganas well I said to a cluster I fell this morning lo he comes with clouds do when he comes it
1:07:14gonna be terrible in His Majesty nobody’s gonna jump on his knee or say Papa I’ve come to see you forget it
1:07:20we’re gonna thought I mean if John felt his feet is dead and John useles hand on
1:07:26this bosom ooh what are you and I gonna do but we don’t live in that realm we don’t live in a realm of the Spirit will
1:07:32in the realm of reason and we’ve reasoned Oh God is a loving God he doesn’t send the judgment that he does
1:07:39he’s gonna do I think we’re heading for the next unless a miracle happens we’ll
1:07:45have a financial crash within three years a bankruptcy which may do something but on the other hand I don’t
1:07:53believe that we hats to earthquakes and one went north to south other end and America’s in four pieces that people
1:07:59would repent the only repent when conviction of sin comes you can’t deny the Holy Ghost is
1:08:05off it’s right when he is coming you’re convincing come convictive sin and righteousness and judgment to come we
1:08:12don’t live in that area I mean nobody expects Jesus to come today they say
1:08:17they do but if they do he thus hath this hope in him purifies it doesn’t say when
1:08:23he’s come it give us 24 hours notice if we’re in purity healed ecology for
1:08:29immaturity he won’t call us well we should be like him not not an hour after he comes not a
1:08:35day after but at very moment and I’m not walking in the will of God in be known purity I don’t believe we’ll retain and
1:08:43the posture of the biggest church in town ten times as big if billy graham
1:08:48won’t make any difference all that ideas are perverted anyhow there’s no much
1:08:54meekness less of the meat they shall inherit the earth oh dear God where is a meekness anymore oh we have the biggest
1:09:00Church in town and so many radio stations a little Robert choose to say that Swaggart’s it in so as he got them
1:09:09God is a jealous gun also for such are
1:09:15false apostles deceitful workers transforming themselves into the
1:09:20apostles of Christ yeah and no Marvel for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light therefore yeah it is no
1:09:29great thing if his ministers he also be transformed as the ministers
1:09:34of righteousness whose end shall be according to their works and ministers
1:09:40of righteousness and but ministers of Satan don’t you think that like when you
1:09:48talk to some people about victim degrees oh well my righteousness is as filthy
1:09:53rags as who will get saved what does John say he that he that doeth
1:10:00righteousness is right to see this is righteous I mean you can’t be part of this I mean there are no degrees in
1:10:06purity the degrees in life than no degrees in death among the dead
1:10:11this one isn’t he’s injured he’s incapacitated as a main problem physical
1:10:17but you pre-christian for fixes they love for you these they’re security then
1:10:23you’re scorned but as can say that this hope in him purifies himself in polarize to the to
1:10:30the Peter or any First Epistle ye have purified your hearts by faith as I said
1:10:37to Congress you’re just as spiritual as you want to be all these men here only are the same
1:10:43Bible I have they used it better they’d only 24 hours on the clock I could do the 48 hour clock and I still use it now
1:10:52you now are you clean by the word which I spoke against you we’re withal shall a young man cleanse a
1:10:58shrine taking heed thereto according to thy word yes well it goes on to say that
1:11:04anything does it thy would have I hid in my heart that I might not sin not just occasionally get
1:11:10victory leave their God what said differently that’s another oh speaking tens Mormons speak in tongues every
1:11:17devout Mormon speaks in tongues but they live like Devils a lot of them there’s
1:11:25only one thing I think the devil can’t fake and that’s a holy life he’s trying to do it through monasteries but going
1:11:31back a minute I don’t if you’re in it and I don’t know ever any recently in two different accounts by two different
1:11:38men said if I could now I would start a Christian monastery what they mean is
1:11:44like the Bible school I went to there were no TVs in those days or radios you couldn’t take a radio you can take an
1:11:51automobile when you went on the campus you stayed from October till Christmas
1:11:57they went home for a few days came back steadily seco of the comes let’s have a haircut you can go shopping you can
1:12:04drive a car anything though no girls rather too distracting and we were shut out you came here to know the Word of
1:12:11God and they did a pretty good job but now dear God I know boy I went to oru
1:12:17his daddy as an agency of cars he gave a new car but when you typewriter bottom
1:12:23you closed a new set of golf clubs everything he had and within a month here at the new car a little a lamppost
1:12:30total records Cole bangs and it oh oh don’t come home don’t come on Mama’s bringing a new car tomorrow and that’s
1:12:36all they’d back him up whether all Robert says yes four thousand young people they’re full of the Holy Ghost
1:12:42baloney how could you have four thousand they will need 120 in the upper room his
1:12:49fever go today can’t dance on the premises where they go to other places to dance why do the ampère
1:12:56places where they say students are spending all night in prayer an intercession we’ve never been in a
1:13:03lesser in now when there a judgment that we never been in America and England England America a lot on Sullivan the
1:13:10bottom Gemara they never had the chances we have they never had the Bibles
1:13:15remember the seminar never had all the Christian periodicals how many Bauer
1:13:20this moment how many how many teams do you think there are around America either going around teaching spiritual
1:13:27warfare with something else every magazine you come out we’ve got something new and we’re feeding jaded
1:13:33appetites if we once had a Holy Ghost revival that say got all of a dozen of a hundred men
1:13:41in in a in a factory and the vegan is so going to lunch they the other lunch then
1:13:49had a prayer meeting a sunny would soon spread but we don’t know that and I
1:13:55don’t know by what by what I read you’re going to do the same thing the next 10 years we’ve done the last 10 years we’ve
1:14:01done nothing but it’s like Spurgeon said
1:14:06you you see there’s a stick then it’s the most crooked sticking us he don’t hug you about it put the straight stick
1:14:11of the time you see that so with our young people whether they don’t know they don’t know what their be me
1:14:17like Donald Fred wolf as well the biggest Southern Baptist Church in in
1:14:22main mobile a priest then he’s put a new Billy of since 44,000 and he says he
1:14:28said we feel responsible for 11,000 students in this area but he said I
1:14:33wonder why it is in their sophomore year which is what the second year living
1:14:38college they leave Church when you can guarantee those kids went to daily Vacation Bible School most like you went
1:14:45to Christian camp I guarantee ninety nine ninety five percent of a the profession of Christian day when you get
1:14:51away from home I’m not going to go to church getting play sports here you can go down to the sea and begging other why
1:14:58did they deserve like that I mean why don’t they have an appetite for God but they don’t I mean three weeks ago that
1:15:07the fella was taken up there to be assistant of dr. Criswell he blasted Baylor University the message
1:15:16sent but then Gow stoie gone to Baylor it’s not known any longer as a spiritual
1:15:23place it’s known now as a yeah well it’s a liberal arts college and it’s known mostly for its football team but what
1:15:31are the kids sub me I’m the only time where they get teenagers get away from home or one have to go to church
1:15:37somewhere my folk of many good reason you know every time so there’s no relationship with God and if we spent
1:15:45time at the altar and took them through step by step what it means to become a
1:15:51Christian your life is hid with Christ and only not your own you bought with a
1:15:56price that you’ve no time of your own you have no money of your own if no interest you’ll Christ was become a
1:16:02complete monster we don’t do that and unless we do we don’t go never change I
1:16:08mean there are people are really hungry they’re people that meet Dave roots and
1:16:13folk on the streets all I never seen it Chris in my life well what what they say
1:16:19the average church member is just like us very often the smoking till they go in the meeting a louse and lastly when
1:16:26they come out it’s the Cowboys or something it won’t where’s the difference and it isn’t there but it all
1:16:33comes down it I don’t care whether it’s rugged to PTO it comes down it breaks down with personal devotion to Christ
1:16:40they quit praying they quit reading the Word of God the oven time and therefore they start rotting
1:16:46from the inside that is the nation big enough to destroy their who will destroy ourselves a present rate of development
1:16:53in help ease and AIDS is appalling the list literally doesn’t mean taking off
1:16:59the thing yet I don’t think the government dare tell us what’s happening in the country it’s a same in England
1:17:10but we’re a God fill men I mean strike
1:17:18it says the day after I’ve been in that trouble I was going to step down and let my son take over but I woke up full of
1:17:25the Holy Ghost no he woke up full of tongues he gave his tongues and he took a that’s a sign but the gifts and
1:17:31callings have gone without repentant I see a girl wearing a big rings you know what Jack gave me that I go back to the
1:17:38toasting some shaft and say well oh did he get mad oh no we we called after that but he’s still wearing the ring yes well
1:17:45of course at Jack’s gun but he left his ring by the same token the Holy Ghost
1:17:50has gone with he left his gift the gifts and callings with our repentance who
1:17:55moved women more than irvan Edward Irving in his day carriages jostled each
1:18:02other Parliament suspended so they can go now may this great holiday their every kind of sign no wonder they’re
1:18:09like colossal chairs and finally sit on the platform and said I am the son of God I cut this veil too but now here I
1:18:16am and everything men call him the 13th
1:18:22apostle and still there’s no questions about what happened there’s a whole book
1:18:27I’m in my habit and you’ve got all these amazing rules
1:18:34I guess you read something of wiglesworth and they’re in Jung chunji
1:18:40lake jaunty lakes books are published now by Christ relations as four of them
1:18:46that man is well here I’m standing here and I told wiglesworth Wigglesworth is
1:18:52here I’m here John Lake is up there each of our apostolic Christianity and it all
1:18:58done anything we’ve ever known I don’t think it’s the only answer I think the
1:19:05answer is when people are so transform they’re no longer mean and no longer selfish too long if covetous but they
1:19:12give them sell and say something happened to my daddy he’s being a Baptist for all this life
1:19:17or something am i man that is really method a so now my daddy’s been a charismatic but something something
1:19:23change had become different his christ-like he speaks gently to my mother he concerned about us it isn’t
1:19:31well I’m going to the World Series whether you like it a lot or I’m going to a ball game you know Super Bowl and I
1:19:39said to these preachers you and well you you say I can’t take three days off a sage of all the three days off to go
1:19:45deer hunting you took three days off to go fishing why can’t you Pastor set the standard say that there’ll be a meeting
1:19:51for pastors at least one day a week or one night a week when we get together we
1:19:57evangelicals will lay hold of God for revival in our city these kids around
1:20:04here will raise money to go to Hong Kong for three days I’ll go to South America
1:20:09but when they come back a surrogate off the plane that compassion dies I’m only
1:20:15gonna do it kids like that and they’ll keep doing it as long as we want them
1:20:20you know oh we took a number of our people from our church we took them on a
1:20:25cruise that you’re touching the elite of the church all the time you’ve done that year after year the poor people are
1:20:31struggling if you can take six or seven days off her clothes can you take six or seven days off for a nation it’s going
1:20:38to hell what do you want to do kids lined the street fornicating people clobbering
1:20:44them in on the head and stealing his watch a sin to become before your eyes before we feel I mean how many it’s
1:20:51alright to say I want to be like Jesus to all of it Lightwood don’t get so many I’ve never heard a person yet their
1:20:56brother have been to church for 80 years I’ve heard men say I was born again I went to the cross I thought my God my
1:21:03upper room experience I never the one say I get 7 HP I have a broken my dad
1:21:09was in the rest of that my dad can’t say grace of mealtime without tears right
1:21:14now I have any taste of 7 different but I’m not going to 1 I said because if people say what’s happening in America I
1:21:20can’t say there’s no title anywhere I know I said do you think I’m going to talk about the Holy Ghost revival when
1:21:25we’re dying and doomed and Damned here and we go running into worse trouble well is in the scriptures what does God
1:21:32say I can’t give you glory because you wonder one another that’s when the biggest sin is history
1:21:37like John Windows to them what do you recharge me and I said if you do a walk
1:21:42off the platform well I went to say well first of all we thought about reliably
1:21:49so we you told Bickle that in revival you don’t make all the cold until you notice I’ve never been in a meeting right now so I said well we come I said
1:21:57let our David Speaker now before I do a now are dead it’s free now is pulled out from a church is free to go anywhere I
1:22:03said so David priests an hour we have the 15-minute break and I preached for an hour and a half and while I was
1:22:10preaching the whole audience broke up they came in hundreds to run wept and groan and cried out audibly make me
1:22:16clean pure if I mean that happened six days we never had three one week and
1:22:22three the names we never had an altar Coenen after they came to the other and stayed not five minutes two and three
1:22:29hours calling on God you read Luke
1:22:34chapter three will say John was preaching and the people cried out watch
1:22:39we do and the soldiers cried hours we do and the publicans cried out their God when he the men start trying out what
1:22:46should we do you know God’s there there’s no cleaning alterable know what did this ended on the other day of
1:22:53pentecost mend and brother what should we do we’re panicking with but they also doesn’t
1:22:59mean anything to people how they come out every week by roman izing our president oh I’ll get your sins forgiven
1:23:04go back to the same lousy thing it’s ridiculous you don’t do that if you go
1:23:11to death when you die to self you die to business promotion who died to ambition
1:23:16you lay it all out and say we mean this with bit like gun gone record put us on record we don’t we’ll do anything let’s
1:23:24forget that we rather I did can invent it what do we have know long ago do you
1:23:29remember hey Alan hey Alan you stop meetings you get 500 come fold on the
1:23:36way home to it’ll tell he pull his car girl and she met him there he died with
1:23:42the liquor bottles whiskey bottles all around his room it whole bunch a member
1:23:48then you don’t find anything like that amongst the old-fashioned revival is
1:23:55true revival if that’s why like I write to read a book like this one um the
1:24:03accounts of revival I mean something we don’t know a thing about did gob piteous he say we’ve the same Bible the same
1:24:11oligo why do we get the same result the men are so many of our meetings is which
1:24:16elegant people say they don’t know they lost come forward the Lord loves you the Lord loves you the Lord hates you why do
1:24:23put a stonker snow this bumper sticker don’t blow sure God is angry with the
1:24:28wicked every day all the wicked shall be turned into how we swim in trouble rules make a market sir but we don’t do that
1:24:35we don’t even preach it but I know

1:24:48stone wall now there yeah doesn’t there isn’t it there isn’t a church in this town there’s nothing a move of God the
1:24:54same I’ll pray till the rains get together and
1:25:08the Prophet Amos said behold the days
1:25:15saith the Lord the days come saith the Lord that I will send a family in the land yes not a family bread nor a thirst for
1:25:24water but of hearing and words of the Lord and they shall wander from sea to
1:25:31sea from the north even to the east they shall run to and fro to seek the word of
1:25:37the Lord and shall not fun is that
1:25:44literally like no Bibles or is it that the word is from a Living Word it
1:25:50doesn’t I mean you can read it I go and hear a felony preaches there’s no passion there’s no tears as no you know
1:25:56I’ll died rather like Richard Baxter I preached as if to never preach again and
1:26:01as a dying man to dying man though you think these fellows were professionally gets paid early when he steps out the
1:26:07pulpit he says hey John what about a round of golf on Wednesday or Thursday and immediately they switch from the

1:28:03rather the thing to Street meeting somewhere in London they were meeting CID head on visiting taverns talk to
1:28:10Hollis which normally does no except just about Bay Brooklyn and Tim Delaney
1:28:15down in in the Motor City they’re doing the same thing but where we’re all
1:28:21sitting inside for Ted John Wimber so while you sit inside of for walk wall singing let the earth in his voice it
1:28:28doesn’t make sense let the earth his voice get out stand on a box call a man to witness call a woman
1:28:35to witness sing a hymn he can’t preach very much to crowds but before long you
1:28:41say we’re going to be here every Saturday nigh for the next winter and all summer and they come with
1:28:48expectation to plan the shopping right people used to go with us they plan to come shopping on Saturday night Sunday
1:28:54now because we’re in the town square and hair wouldn’t miss for three years and our young people came in and after
1:29:01with them they came eagerly you know give me a chance to witness that I said everybody stand on this box whose isn’t
1:29:07telling the truth you interrupt them because I’m the leading us I’ll check on them don’t let a man talk when he’s not
1:29:13walking it if he’s walking in it if it’s the money’s in your factory your office if they’re not telling the truth come
1:29:21and tell me you know chase off well we
1:29:26didn’t need to advertise in the paper dear God our best known man in town even though the cathedral is only 300 yards
1:29:34away from us magnificent cedral I only got 500 Sunday night they
1:29:39stood outside and lined up like a movie house but the cathedral got 50 so where
1:29:45do you go I mean the cathedral is ornate it had gold plate on the of gold communion
1:29:53things and candlesticks on the altar it was like a miniature West rinsed rubbish stained glass window but what is that to
1:29:59the glory of God I mean our place was packed there now before time our prime
1:30:05me to a packed we had 3 prayer meetings a week 3 Street meetings and that’s why
1:30:11that church kept in continuous revival for the 3 years I was there and it’s
1:30:17still there today well brother now what I want to say that either the Bible is
1:30:24absolute or obsolete which is it is God all he says he is is Hebrews 11:6 what
1:30:31we need to rediscover he that cometh to God must believe that he is was it much about swagat all at rest a noise its
1:30:38objects ibly it hurts and people had tell me now they’re really cracking
1:30:43jokes about swagath if if God told me could go on preaching a God told me of
1:30:50that so they said well it’s got sitting on preaching the messies in wining God time there’s a cop following along the
1:30:55road in a car so another’s demos they appear to be
1:31:03I think y’all boils down to one of the
1:31:09oldest hymns we are never seen it trust and obey there’s no other way no other
1:31:17way
1:31:25it’s hard on the flesh it’s hard against the lifestyle of preachers around about
1:31:31this but what does God 1 and I’ve been to the judgment bar of the Assemblies of God or the First Baptist Church in
1:31:37pantheism and the general borrowed Jesus Christ and I live with that every day
1:31:49it’s his words those edges yes that’s what he said what do you think gonna
1:31:57it’s not what’s just in the book of life has total said to me one day said Leonard I don’t think I’m ashamed of
1:32:03what I’ve done since I was saved it’s what I could have done that troubles me and not what I did but why I did it got
1:32:10him in a way the MOT is I mean I and II come along and say I had talked with a
1:32:15friend of mine the other day they’ve been treating the church I love to go to monk camel morgenson Allegan eyes are
1:32:22always I enjoyed myself I said he did he enjoyed his oratory and George’s rapport
1:32:27with the people he enjoyed his eloquence he enjoyed himself what did God get the
1:32:33question when I finish a meeting is I didn’t get anything out of this meaning what did God give out of it what do
1:32:40people say going out I think their brother if I was where God wants me to be I should be I would leave a meeting
1:32:46with tears running down my face at the glory of God or that all these people outside of glued to the TV this
1:32:53afternoon this Sabbath day and a little bit interesting on Christ could die on the Main Street today will interest them
1:33:00at all but we’ve got I I think we’ve got a pre still people know that we mean
1:33:06always say we burned
1:33:17Edwin Hodge was Chancellor of I think some Larry Scott College in Oxford and
1:33:24one of the best guys in England but one day even though they had crowds with me he got so tired he went in his office
1:33:32near all that gorgeous him breathe on me breath of God fill me with life anew and the last hundred breathe on me breath of
1:33:38God till I’m wholly thine till all this earthly part of me glows with I find a by people ask me how do you been
1:33:45preaching seventy years now how do you keep an edge because I read stories underneath I because I read the Word of
1:33:51God and I see what the Apostle did the Paul can laugh at death and laugh at
1:33:57hardship and sinning the largest prison in the world’s and tell other people to rejoice or it can give you a tool
1:34:04Corinthians eleven and go down seven times in fearlessly fussing petals of
1:34:09the deep in pairs of a known countrymen in perils petals but not to kill 10 men and glory in tribulation doesn’t just
1:34:17find grace against room he welcomes it he said this is the only way because
1:34:23when we get to heaven that dear brother got it and asked you ADA properties is not looking for medals is looking for
1:34:29scars holsters for this calls also thank
1:34:35we God without ceasing and because when you receive the Word of God that you’ve heard of us
1:34:40you receive it not as the word of men but as it is in truth the Word of God
1:34:46which effectually worketh also the ye that believe you may not believe this
1:34:53word that has been written to them well because it doesn’t work in us I say you
1:35:00said they’re pulling bridgeable what does it mean to you why does it work out in your life I mean you have to
1:35:07die the biggest guy after they shalt have the others I have a five year old
1:35:15Lincoln Continental the small we know now people laugh at me for having it I said well I’ll swap it for anything else
1:35:21it’s reliable that’s I like it I got it because I’m doing long-distance running I don’t needed to chop in each other by
1:35:28bite I’ll take an older one but I say as it doesn’t mean that much to me I said I’m bought any clothes for
1:35:36five years and about one pair of trousers is just that I used to almost
1:35:41either like clothes because else I was a tailor before I was before I was saying
1:35:47how are the best clothes in the country in fact you’ve cover the best-dressed man in the whole new school but all
1:35:53that’s gone that’s trivial that silly-looking but I said all that matters if you can get nearer to God
1:35:58than I get tell me how to together that’s all I’m concerned about Paul
1:36:03isn’t concerned about anything I said you go to the National Convention of
1:36:10your denomination and stand observer the glorious text whew that is a thousand
1:36:15pastor said from our denomination got a glorious take from you you’re dead what
1:36:20would they do they’d glamour you as a poll code year dead and your life is hid
1:36:26with Christ in God oh that believes you’re dead your preacher so you’re dead you accessori
1:36:31dead by you dead to all the world’s glamour are you dead to the rivalry or
1:36:37denomination I had dead to climbing up the ladder it’s every preachers web when
1:36:43when Chris Rome finally decided 12 Joel Gregory from t’other 7 you as his
1:36:50assistant other men thought what I deserve it after him true was there 45 years he’s been there 42 years I’m a
1:36:57young man I should going so hard people ask for what you do to be great I wash
1:37:04some of his feet
1:37:11so they dub you Tozer your mentor yes what was he like
1:37:22well there were different ways to answer that question but I’ll tell you one thing about him it was a same with the
1:37:29Martin lloyd-jones I taught with him G camel walk that listened to him often
1:37:36so Martin lloyd-jones and George
1:37:42Campbell Morgan and toes who had one thing in common when they went to the
1:37:47pulpit they never raised a finger never raised the voice they didn’t depend on
1:37:52histrionics to get the message of dr. Tozer had a habit of lacking hobbies he
1:37:59dove his Bible in his hand Sam reading from John 17 1 and he begin to read and and he may be given a flower lining and
1:38:07then he rocktron for like this and suddenly throw his Bible on the Fulton at that moment he was airborne it’s like
1:38:13a like a plane getting off the runway enough he went and he wasn’t the
1:38:19greatest preacher I’ve heard in my life but the other master intimacy with God
1:38:25and like you read all the mistakes you
1:38:32know it you could quote ladder of sanctity or you could call madam gain
1:38:37affable anybody and he could put his finger on the whole lot and tell you how
1:38:42he’d read them and his emphasis was the
1:38:48inner man the inner man you know and he was against showmanship he wouldn’t anybody play a trumpet on this platform
1:38:53how’d they let anybody sing unless he sang a hymn in your way what and the other fella called Mac something
1:39:07and he how he interview well before that toes had gotten all Methodist head butt
1:39:12assault himself in it well this fellow came on and I can remember snow Mac and he introduced when he got to a lot of
1:39:19old Methodists in books or they printed cut sheets and they sang hymns like and can it be that I should gain and all
1:39:25those and don’t Tosa reveled in that kind of thing he will never concert in the place he
1:39:33would have any special meetings I went and we had two weeks three weekends
1:39:40actually and he said this is very survivor in the in the history of this church we had the older song till
1:39:47midnight people weeping and seeking God and coming right across town well
1:39:52there’s a difference you gots to you got Moody Bible is studio next door is moody
1:39:57church the students on you had to come out of here into there and yet they cross the town when that when ice you
1:40:04know churned up by the cars and it froze and you could well the people’s ankles
1:40:09was snapping getting off buses and that they’d rather come across town in a car
1:40:16or walk some of them and hear Tulsa then go next door to hear they weather was
1:40:24preacher that blogs then part of the time and and there well after where he
1:40:29was he was in that place at three times they begged him to become the president of the Christian mission and for anybody
1:40:36one son it turned it down again again God in us free to kiss babies and sit in Council meetings my business is a Word
1:40:43of God and he he would turn men aware not even uh by is a miser with his time
1:40:51I I was privileged to spend a lot of time with him and go to his home him but all the time he talked about well the
1:41:00type of teaching that a besom said opening the debts of the word of God in
1:41:05over Romans Leif evens living in that area and shot whirling us out shut
1:41:12theaters out shut everything else which he did he’d love music user he listened every night to a recording
1:41:19of who did listen to her not shope I’m not
1:41:29sure but and there will get symphony or
1:41:37a every night said whanau listening to good music but again he was I prayed it
1:41:46many times are very very wonderful in Prairie didn’t shout he just had a conversation talk with God and he could
1:41:55be he could cut an audience in two with the word almost there he got very sarcastic at times and you know people
1:42:04kind of remonstrated with him for that
1:42:11he refused all invitations until the very end he’s standing like one church
1:42:17twenty-five years and he didn’t get a very big salary as well
1:42:28it’s strength that actually was his devotional life he will end it anybody trespass on that he spent certain time
1:42:35with God all the time did you reflect some longer your times
1:42:43with Keith Green okay so the zealot I mean he bounced through that door I
1:42:51remember II well I by this division is he used to be a wall Dave Wilson fully
1:42:57unfurnished all this for me and Wilkinson would come one day cream would
1:43:03come the others opposite as could be because David was mature he’d been a pastor for about 20 years then Keith of
1:43:10course have come from the guts and he tell me about his past life and so dinners but he was hungry for God
1:43:16I remember definitely a turn his life and I told him he shouldn’t charge to go into concerts when they didn’t do
1:43:22they’ve gone back to this last week I think but they didn’t do that and I remember talking to about utility on one
1:43:30occasion and holiness on another on any you know like a trout jumping up to get a fly
1:43:35he got all real Anna and Annie will come back I remember he bounced through the door you know I can’t able to get
1:43:41through before you bleed opening bouncing there’s a big guy and he I remember just give me pops and give me a
1:43:47hug he said pops out you know what all roads lead to we used to say in England
1:43:54all roads lead to Rome it’s an old saying everybody travels to Rome to see he said you had all roads lead to us and
1:44:01know the same thing though I said you’re wrong I said why he said all roads lead to the judgement seat I said very good
1:44:09and the other I don’t know what I’ve never read this anywhere but I think
1:44:15it’s right to say you had a holy fever or it’s not even like a fear of God I
1:44:22mean when you think he didn’t live very long but I still get letters about him again that book that his wife wrote on
1:44:29no compromise is doing good and they
1:44:34still send his tapes out in five hero than he wrote the Catholic chronicles
1:44:40that they withdrew so they wrote to me this week Nestle could ever said because God used it tremendously but they got them into
1:44:47turtle for not being friendly enough for the Catholic so they withdrew it but and he loved to pray he’d say come with
1:44:55brainy get down and really pour his how tiring on he have visions of our God one
1:45:00isn’t doing this area and he was because other people can keep up with in the
1:45:05thought he maybe was he wasn’t mature enough in one sense for leadership you want everybody to jump up to his level
1:45:12which you can’t do any more than I could jump up now to the level of her an Olympic runner and I used to run I’d
1:45:19like to run when I come I’m glad even to walk but he was like that I mean he saw
1:45:24eternal things and if they weren’t clear to you he couldn’t understand his stupidity you can understand why you’re
1:45:30not leaping and you know and going a full page if he fasted he fast if he
1:45:36prayed he prayed there’s a uniqueness well about my precious wife had a
1:45:41tremendous inside to people first time you saw cheated men the Spirit of God is on that young man and in England you you
1:45:49know you got two kidneys as opposed to match function the same well in England let’s say well that man isn’t your
1:45:55kidney in other words you know it’s all you if you’ll cut alter ego I want to go but immediately he came in she said well
1:46:02there’s something unique about her and there was about even and that they don’t
1:46:07have it now they know that I mean the II he was willing to live a full stretch
1:46:12they expect of the slew the same thing for him he was a good reader you like to
1:46:20read toes or that he mentioned he had to
1:46:26read David Brainerd alright to read the three volumes of them Edward patiently
1:46:34read that true
1:46:40in essence their brother is singing some people you say go back to the old palace a dance for you
1:46:45what well because he and the guy that usually up at at of the street and they
1:46:55had a minister of that agape they very much fashion of they used to read
1:47:01William boob they read the stories of William Booth and the old men and he come to me and tell me more about booth
1:47:07tell me what about the Knights of prayer time about the days were fasting tell you about his three meetings and I need
1:47:14warm up to you know we want to get back to them because those mysteries you
1:47:24don’t like God who’s been along my table near how would you want people to
1:47:35remember you oh I don’t know as a nuisance I think
1:47:52when your reward is like I can’t do it now because get so many people but say
1:47:59three or four years ago man they come and spent two hours and then write back and say you know from another country
1:48:05I’m passing out in New Zealand then the turning point was when I came to see you I got more in two hours with you then I
1:48:12got two years in seminary I’m reading the whole armour of God I’m reading this and I’m reading some history of the
1:48:18Salvation Army and and Ares are then brought into and all I know is I’d
1:48:25stressed as much as possible way the life of prayer and personal devotion
1:48:33immediate get cold there you get cold outside if you keep fueling yourself you
1:48:38keep reading as a six over and get visions of God ambition of a living the book of the revelation and you don’t
1:48:46understand all of it or laughter I say God can’t be explained it can be experienced and that’s all that matters
1:48:52I mean I sometimes have fear like I preach my heart out on something the threefold vision I wanted after and I
1:48:59tend to get people to come out to the altar under my cousin ever then all to go but nobody’s gonna jump I mean I got
1:49:07saved at 14 I’m 84 or was 85 something 70 years have seen old candle
1:49:13tragedies in the church wars and rumors of wars popular men go and popular and
1:49:18so forth but keep looking unto Jesus and reading the word and remembering these
1:49:25old paths of my daddy used to talk about so much and all the other looks like trivia guys now laugh at me because I
1:49:34live on my Social Security I’ve done counseling in this room for 13 years and
