It puts everything upside down. But you'll swear if you get used to your way, you'll swear it's the right way. And when God's word says something different, what are you going to do? You're just going to strike it down?

So do we have a, would you go let people experiment with these? I mean, that they're not accustomed to experimenting with doing things their own way.

Now, you may be laughing here. I see the display monitor here. Can you bring me up to the same thing that's up there?

If you're seeing things through what you want out of life, everything's upside down. And you know it, but you don't want to admit it. That's what the Pharisees did.

Everything was upside down. When they were looking down, they would see their true father of disobedience.

God has made it simple. He says, here's my instructions. What do we do when we don't want to follow those?

It's okay if you know you don't want to follow those, and you're willing to admit that you don't want to follow those. At least you know where you're at.

The greatest problem is if you justify it and say it's okay with God, there's a problem. Because now you believe the lie, and if you won't believe what God has to say... And do what he has to say.

It's questionable whether you're still his child or not. I don't know how to navigate. We'll just try this thing. Yay, it worked. Maybe.

Because you are his sons, God sent the spirit of his son into your heart. The spirit who calls out, Abba, Father.

I've never met a disobedient child that's crying out, Daddy, Daddy. Have you? They're crying out, crying, I want my way, which means they can't reach for Daddy, and which means Daddy can't reach for them.

Why do I say that? Have you ever reached for a child that's intentionally disobedient?

It would be you who pulls away from God. It'll be you who pull into yourself and your flesh.

Now, something that's unique about discipleship, if you read the New Testament, you're going to hear all these things straight in your face.

If you're a poodle, it'll curl your hair. If you're a Pekingese, you're going to throw certain things away.

If you're a terrier, you're just jumping up and down.

I remind you Jesus called the Gentile the dogs. So what pedigree are you in your disobedience?

I want to become not disobedient, but obedient to him so that I can have the luxury of his fellowship to the degree that you obey him here.

And know him, because if you don't obey him, you won't know him, is the degree that you will know him there.

Some choose not to know him there by not to know him here, because if you choose your will instead of God's ways, you know that's quite all right.

Why don't you go give them to somebody that needs a different view in life? See who that is. Hurry up. Give them away. Give them away.

Just look around. Pick somebody. Go give them to them. No, don't listen to her. You received a directive. That was from the Lord. Carry it out. Go give them away.

I think she went and gave it to Frank so it doesn't count and you dodged a bullet. Right? She received man's directive. And not God's directive. His directive was serious.

Give it to somebody that's looking at life through their own eyes. Now what do we do with this rebellion that's inside of us that mischaracterizes itself, that we do self-adjudication, self-justification, self-righteousness?

We have to go overboard in every area there is to try to prove up that we're okay.

Isn't that what the Pharisees did? The biggest problem today with the church, it became pharisaical. I will do God my way. You can't do God your way. I can't. Can you, if you're a little child, can you be a son your way or a daughter your way?

Hello? No. You can't be a son or a daughter your way. And God's no different.

You can't be a son or daughter to him your way. That's why Jesus came and the Spirit came so that we can begin to practice being his way.

And if we become his way, life is simple. It's not complicated.

See, it's the flesh that complicates life. It's always looking for a way around what God says so he can do what it wants and dictate.

What kind of tater are you? Are you a dictator? Do you dictate to yourself and to others?

That's God's exclusive position to be dictator in our life. And if you think that he can be anything else or wants to be anything else,

That's wrong. But if I will elect him as my dictator and step down from my... I have to literally cauterize my mind to not let him be in control of me.

Do you know what cauterize means? It means you take a hot branding iron.

to your understanding of God and your love for Him, and you sear it over so thick in scar tissue of disobedience that you don't feel bad about being disobedient to Him.

The Holy Spirit was here this morning. Do you know why I know that?

Because this first responsibility of the Holy Spirit is to bring conviction.

If you go to a church that doesn't, you don't feel conviction is the Holy Spirit there.

The first responsibility of the Holy Spirit, he's going to bring conviction.

What does conviction mean? Are you in agreement with me?

Holy Spirit brings conviction. How many of you were convicted this morning so far?

Well, that means the Holy Spirit was speaking to you.

And if you weren't convicted, that means you have seared your conscience that you don't want to hear from God.

That should frighten you.

I constantly have to pray, constantly, and pray around the searing actions that my body and mind does. I'm a human being. I'm not a holy being.

And I see my inaccuracies. I see the things that are within me that aren't totally formed like him yet.

And so I constantly recite the word to myself, and I constantly beg God for his forgiveness and washing and cleansing with the declaration,

I will do it your way, constantly.

You know why I do that?

Because I remember a time in my life that I was in God's perfect will. He spoke to me every day and everything.

I was on cloud nine.

I worked for a company selling insurance, and I was the nation's number one salesman with the company.

God made those arrangements, and I was making probably about $1,000 to $2,000 a week.

And this is back in 1973. Had to pay my own expenses. No insurance, no retirement, and all that stuff.

And those things are important. You know what they are? They're the wanting of a company.

You want the company to give you some form of security.

And so you have to have a lot of money to buy that security for yourself.

But if you're in freelance sales,

If you don't sell anything, you don't get anything. That's it.

And boy, that's a nervous position to be in.

And so I, with another guy, made a decision.

I didn't like being in that position of not knowing whether I'm going to make big bucks this week or not.

Not having a retirement, not having all those things.

And so he and I, in the name of Jesus, agreed together that the refinery would hire me.

See, the refinery was the best place to work in our little town of 15,000, 20,000 people. Great retirement, great benefits, all the security things.

And so, sure enough, they hadn't hired anybody in the last 10 years.

I get a call from them and say, would you come out and put in an application?

Somebody that works here turned in your name.

And we're going to need somebody.

I was the first guy they hired out of about 450 new people because they were going to be expanding.

And yes, we were union. That means any job that came open, I could bid on that.

And even if I was dumb as a brick, I would get it. Typical union man.

I went from 1,000 to 2,000 a week down to about 300 a week. Consistent.

But I entered into a cold place in my life with God.

I said I loved him, but I began doing my own thing in life.

Not partying, just pleasure.

Bought myself a bunch of rifles, started hunting all the time.

Surely God didn't mind me being out there in his forest, and I'll take him with me.

I'll set an appointment, oh God, that we're going to worship up there in the Arbuckle Mountains.

That'll replace the meeting with you.

I'll meet you up there.

He didn't agree to that. I did. I was in agreement. I justified it every way I could.

My heart began to get colder and colder and colder towards Scripture, towards the Word, towards praise.

I didn't start doing necessarily wicked things. I was just doing a lot of things that God was not in, and that's called godlessness.

As a result, I had seared my conscience.

As a result, I could not hear God anymore.

As a result, I had to make it up that I was okay.

So the church was in a big building program. I'd go down and help them work.

Come Sunday, I was not there because my heart was not there, my mind was not there.

I really experienced what it was like to have a seared conscience.

that was in mild rebellion, not open rebellion.

See, open rebellion is, okay, I'm going to go bar hop and join the world.

I didn't do that. But rebellion is rebellion.

It's just, I don't want you, oh God, I want what I want more.

And so I seared my heart to his... influence.

I've seared my heart to the preciousness of him speaking to me and me hearing him.

And can we get this working? Go to the next slide. There we go.

So I want to talk about us and our father.

I think we've already established that a child that ignores his parents will basically not be their child.

Would you agree to that?

May have the same bloodline, may live in the same house.

But they have a different life, and they don't want the life that God gave them.

And you raise a child like that, and they'll disown you as soon as they get an opportunity because I don't want to be like that. I don't want your house. I don't want.

Now, their bloodline says they belong to you, but their actions and their choices in life say they have terminated.

their relational functionality with the family, and it can get so bad that you should step away and that you should disinherit.

Didn't God do that with the children of Israel?

And why I say that is because children of Israel rejected him.

So his disinheritance was, well, if you rejected me, you're not entitled to all my benefits. That's reasonable, isn't it?

Or do we give somebody that worships other gods and acts out in evil and does every wicked thing on earth, do we leave them an inheritance to perpetuate their wickedness because that's our bloodline?

See, God's not going to leave you an inheritance to perpetuate your wickedness.

Now, somebody asked me the other day, why do you talk about these things? We're disciples.

Jesus talked about these things. You open any chapter in the Old Testament, it's just like this.

Open any chapter in the New Testament.

But yet they were filled with joy overflowing because they were not resistors.

Because the presence of God was there.

And the word that they heard knew, they knew it liberated others.

They were liberated.

Matter of fact,

If you hear the same word over and over and over, and the same sermon over and over and over, who's speaking to you?

God is.

I'm going to ask the question. How many of you hear the same servant over and over and over?

And whatever God's speaking to you in the midst of that is trying to get you still to form up.

Because what's been ministered is out of Scripture, is it not?

And if you're resistant to that,

Then he has to say it again and again and again until you stop resisting.

And when you stop resisting, you won't hear that anymore.

A subject will change to the next thing you resist.

And when there's no more resistance and you say, yes, O Holy Spirit, whatever your will is, I will do that.

Now you won't hear any teachings on resistance. You'll only hear teachings on resistance if you're resisting.

The day I stopped resisting, I started hearing the sweet melodies of love that I had longed to hear,

which are available for those who are not in rebellion.

It's just like your children.

We have a precious young lady over here, and if she's resistant to her mommy,

she'd...

And here's the thing, we get resistant.

I'm not doing what you say, but you have to love me anyway.

Right?

She doesn't do that. You don't do that, right?

Come on, you're not showing me love here.

I'm not teaching you anything.

This is not what you're supposed to do.

But it's what we do.

We tell God, you have to love me anyway because I'm your child.

Well, I got news for you. You're in the adoption process.

And if you declared through the pseudo-pig Christianity world that says you're a child of God,

you're a fool.

We are becoming children of God if we will listen and do what he says.

If we don't listen and do what he says, he says plainly that we are the child of the devil.

Am I quoting scripture to you, or should we just go on to that?

And I will be your father.

So what's the terms of him being our father?

Us come out of our own thinking, our own will, and our own way.

Elsewise, we don't have a father.

And you shall be my sons, or sons and daughters to me.

How can you be a son or a daughter to him if you're not serving him with your thoughts and your body and you're serving you?

You're not his child if you're serving yourself and won't do his instructions.

Now when I always talk about instructions because his blessings go with that,

your future's in that.

How about you missing a lot of things in this end age?

Because if you're pig-headed, there's going to be a great barbecue that is not far off.

Your money is going to be taken. Everything you own is going to be taken.

You realize God has put a curse upon this nation.

Because it turned away from him.

And if you're one of those that won't do it his way,

then you've turned away from him.

But by just you hearing the words today, you can either sear your conscience more.

No!

I'm not going to receive that. I'm okay.

No, you're not, blockhead.

You're not okay.

The fire alarm system is going off and hell is warming up and the door is open and it's got your name on it.

If you're going to be disobedient and not become his child,

he set his ways to become a child.

And I can't lie to you. I can't tell you anything different.

I'm going to have to stand before him and you're going to have to say, yes, I heard that man say that and I hated it.

Then you know your place.

Why didn't you form up?

Why didn't you become my child?

Why didn't you do what I said? Were you a God?

Who do you think you are?

He's God. You're not.

Now what am I trying to get through in repeating this?

Assured conscience.

I'm hoping it punches through the flesh and gets into the spiritual mind so that you can make arrangements to change your direction.

I hope it was a sharp dagger that could cut off the tissue that he built up over a period of years of resistance to God and saying it's okay.

Now, if this just needles you to death,

then you're a child of the devil. You're not a child of God.

But God gives you a chance today to change that.

Little children, make sure no one deceives you.

The one, let's back up here.

1 John 3:6 and 7. No one who abides in him continues practicing sin.

Can we say, resistance towards God and doing what he has instructed?

That's what sin is.

Sin is missing the mark of not doing what God said do.

Would you agree with me? Is that a truth?

No one who keeps on practicing sin will see him or know him.

Do you see,

I constantly preach.

Come away from your practice.

Now, practicing means you do it on a repetitive basis.

If you're a sheep and you fall in the pig pen, you got too close.

That doesn't mean that you practice it.

If you practice something,

you're practicing missing what he has said to do.

Let's listen to those who practice such things.

There's where my greatest concerns come in.

Not you falling in the watermelon patch.

Not you falling in the sewer.

That really doesn't concern me. You'll want to get out if you

Here is the cleaned-up version of the sermon transcription:

A sheep. But however, if you've committed yourself to practice your pleasures the way you want them, ignoring what God says instead of practicing what God says. No one who keeps on practicing self-willed, ignoring God will see him or know him. Have you heard me make this statement? That if you are going to reject what he says in word, he's not going to speak to you anymore.

You realize the Pharisees didn't believe that. They said God speaks to us. We're Abraham's seed. Jesus, what did Jesus say? Jesus said, no, Satan is your father. Why? Because they practiced. Resisting God's instruction.

Little children, make sure no one deceives you. Do you realize there's millions of God's children that got deceived over the last 30 years in false churches with false pastors? They got deceived. But it also says in Scripture, in the last days, there will be people that are Christians that have itching ears and they want to go find goat pastors that will tell them it's okay to do what they want to do.

I'm paraphrasing for you. What's in Jude? Would you agree with that? And in Peter. So the one who practices righteousness, now let's define righteousness, means that you do what God says do. Not what you think is right. That's from the tree of good and evil. You do what God says. That's what makes you righteous.

Saying, yes, Holy Spirit, I will do that. Oh, I see it here in Scripture. I will do that. That's what gives you righteousness. If you're unwilling to do that, how much righteousness do you have? How much? If you're unwilling to practice what he says, how much righteousness do you have?

Even if he has the heavens full of it, ready to pour out upon you. He goes on, 1 John 3, 8 and 9. The one who practices missing the mark and resisting God is of the devil. Sinned or practiced not doing what God said from the beginning.

And the Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil. Do you realize if you patterned your life to practice those things, you're Satan's child? It's a frightening thing to wake up and see after three and a half years of working at the refinery. I'd been walking on cloud nine of hearing God, being directed by the Spirit, seeing fantastic things in the Spirit and participating in great miraculous things.

And I was going to a Spirit-filled church, but my heart became cold because I justified wanting to go out in the woods and go fishing and hunting and all that stuff. And God will meet me there. I became an independent, seared-minded Christian that could not feel God or sense God anymore. We went over that.

So what you practice will determine whose child you are. And if you're awakening right now and finding, oh my goodness, I'll have that as a set practice. If you're really seeing that right now. You should be on your face on the altar saying, I will change that. This day I make a covenant with you. I will come in. You open the door.

You said there's a new enrollment. I've been practicing, resisting, practicing, doing it my way. The altar will be open for you to come into a new agreement with him because the Son of God appears, but he's not appearing to you. But when he does appear, If you're practicing resisting God, then you're doing the works of the devil.

And he came to destroy those. No one who's born of God will continue practicing their strong self-will that's against what he says. Because... His, that's God's seed, Jesus abides in him, and he, Jesus, cannot sin because he is born of God.

Can you imagine Jesus in you and wants to do his Father's will, but you carry his body somewhere else? You put something else on your thoughts, and the Holy Spirit says, but he said this. He said it in Scripture. Do you have a different Bible? Have you ripped pages out of it?

Why are these concepts important? Because I do not want to be the child of the devil. I only have two choices. I can either choose to be a child of God or I am a child of the devil. And if I choose to be a child of God, what have I made a decision to do? It is written.

That's what I will do. See, that's what I have to face Satan with. Jesus just said it is written. I have to say it is written. That's what I will do. But I don't want to do that. I can go do this and, you know, sail off in the sunset.

I get this picture. If you sail out into the ocean against God's disobedience, there probably is going to be a sinking ship along the way. You'll be crying out as you die that at least you'll die in obedience, confessing, oh, God, I was a wicked, wicked person. I did what I wanted. Please, please forgive me as you go down and die.

And it would be his great grace to make sure that you die right then. Because when you get back and get your little bear paws on the astroturf of life, you'll go right back to your sin.

It would be better if you died in obedience than you die in disobedience. Do you understand? God's going to give you an opportunity to come to him and turn away from that which would cast you away from him. Beginning now.

1 John 3, 1 and 10 to 11. By this, the children of God and the children of devil are obvious. Anyone who does not have a lifestyle of practicing righteousness, I would add, of what God has instructed and what God has said, practicing righteousness in him is not of God.

If you're not going to practice righteousness, the day you make a statement to yourself, I'm not doing it that way. You have just invoked upon yourself being a child of the devil. Nor one who does not love his brother. For this is a message which you have heard from the beginning, Romans 8, 14.

Can we define what a child of God looks like? For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God. Now here's the thing. We have a sanctified Bible that's separated from the world's practices and man's opinion.

And you're supposed to do what Scripture says. And if you're unwilling to do what Scripture says, the Spirit is unwilling to talk to you. Are we in agreement? If you look sad about this, I don't know what the problem is because you have the opportunity to change that right now.

If you're absolutely destitute, you've been doing life this way. You don't have God's presence. You aren't hearing his voice. You should cheer. I can change that. I see. I see how it can be paid for. I see what to do. I see clearly the way. I see clearly I was going the wrong way.

I can change that today. Or you can be like a lazy limbo devil. Well, I guess I'm just condemned. No, no, I'm okay. I read that, that I'm his child. That's your mind. And the Satan speaking to you.

For those who are being led by the Holy Spirit. Remember, we're supposed to come into the law of the Spirit. That means once we have... been proclaimed that we're going to become a child of God. Now we have the responsibility of living up to the great calling that's been put upon our life of not listening to the enemy and not listening to our will and casting our will down and crucifying our will daily in order to belong to him and be a part of him.

If we will do that, then the Holy Spirit now is going to abide with us. And wherever we go, he'll be right next to me and Jesus will be on the other side. And he'll lead me through all the things of life. He will not deliver me from life. I'm supposed to go through this world embodied with Christ within me, following the Spirit and his very, just his breath, in which you cannot hear the breath of God.

The vessel, the spiritual vessel that God gives you is one with sails on it that can catch the Spirit's breath. And now the ship will go the direction that the breath has blown upon you. And if your ship has turned into a motor trawler with the power of its own engines, so it can go where it wants to.

You can't follow the Spirit and you're not led by the Spirit and you have a life that is tragedy because you have forfeited the greatest joy, the greatest peace, the greatest hope. You've forfeited your father and you've declared, I'm not going to act like your child. I'm not going to be your child.

I'm not going to obey you. If you decide not to listen to the Holy Spirit, to me it's the saddest condition of the soul. Is not to obey the Holy Spirit because by you declaring such, you say, well, I will never speak to you again unless you change that.

1 John 3, 18 through 20. Dear children, let's not merely say that we love each other. Let us show the truth by our actions. Our actions will show that we belong to the truth.

So we will be confident when we stand before God. See, part of this is not just to love me, but it's what we've been going over of listening to him and being a child of God or a child of the devil. But if we will listen to him, our actions will show it that we belong to the truth.

Is there any scripture that comes in mind right now in your heart that jumps up at you that you intentionally don't want to keep? Your actions are against God, against Scripture, because it's going to take your time. Well, if you want time in eternity, you have to give up your time here. If you don't want to give up your time here, you get no time in eternity.

If you don't want to give up your life, you lose it. But if you will surrender your life now... now you will have a life here with walking in the spirit with god and you'll have an everlasting life.

Now I want you to know you're an immortal creature and you will have an everlasting life. You will have an everlasting life as far away from God as time, light, and energy, and anything good is, that will be your destiny.

If you make a decision, I'm not going to listen to the Spirit, and I'm not going to do what Scripture says. If you have a habit of that and a practice of that, you have no admittance in heaven. You canceled your ticket.

Do you believe that's what Scripture says? I can give you 183 different scriptures in the New Testament that state those who do such things have no inheritance in the kingdom of God.

What are you going to do with those scriptures? Isn't it far more joyful to want to do what he says? I can tell you, if you've really ingratiated your flesh, you'll get all gassy and say, well, I can't live my own way. That's what bad children do.

If you call yourself a child of God and you're all turned off towards God and gassy, you're a bad child. Stop it and do what he says. Do the things you did at first in your relationship with Jesus. Yield to him. Walk softly before him. Do what he says and listen to him.

Don't do your own thing your own way. And this is a bitter pill for you. This message is bitter if you have practiced continually. And it will be especially bitter to you if you continue to throw it off and continue to practice.

You have the choice today. To change your practices. You can't change them unless you confess before God my practices. Or not practices of righteousness for they do not follow what scripture says.

There's a beginning of getting untangled from the lie that you have painted for yourself with Satan's help. And it will free your soul. So you can once again begin to hear from the Spirit, if you will do it, if you refuse, I am not doing it that way.

I've got my salvation figured out the way I want it. It makes me comfortable. I'm okay. I tell you, as the prophets of the Old Testament told the Israelis, you're not okay. You're in hot water. But you can change that.

What's so hard about that? Are you just too stupid or are you stubborn? If you change it, you change the outcome of your whole life. You change his blessing. You change his purposes. You'll change the direction of your children.

But when you do these things, you're visiting upon your children to the third and the fourth generation. They will be God-ignores, God-haters, God-rejectors. And you'll stand before him and say, you did that to your child as you see them thrown off into the fire.

Tell me how you're going to get over that one. Am I not telling you the truth of what the scripture says? God says, I'm not mocked. If you're not going to do what I said, this is going to go right into the hurt of your kids.

And if you become a child of the devil, you'll make them twice the child of the devil that you are. Or God has open enrollment in his kingdom today. What does it take to join all of your free will, all of your so-called religion that rejects what he has to say?

That's your sacrifice if you want to enter his enrollment of being his child today. He'll take nothing less. He's trying to keep you from being cast away from eternity in bliss, eternity in glory.

He's trying to keep you from spiritually dying. He loves you, but a child that loves his parents can reject everything the parent has to say.

You could write out instructions and they'll pin it to their shirt and they'll rip it off. I don't want that. God's written out instructions that are simple and absolutely lovely. And they're a joy to my heart and a hope and a song that I get to dance with him all day long, every day.

And if you're dancing for the devil in this life, he's constantly playing with you and everything that you've acquired. and even your identity, so you lose your identity in Christ.

He says, even if we feel guilty. Now, dear children, let's not merely say that we love each other. Let us show the truth by our actions. When it says love each other, does that include also loving Jesus? How do we show our actions towards Jesus in love?

You said it, that's what I do. How do we show? That we don't love him. He makes the statement, if you don't love me, you won't do what I said. I keep making that statement over and over so you'll understand.

When you tell the Lord you love him, what you're saying is a bad child saying to its parent, now I love you. Why aren't you giving me so many instructions? Do you not love me? Well, of course you love me. You have to love me. You have to take me. I'm part of the family.

No, he doesn't. And no, he won't. But he's looking for family. He's looking for family that want to walk with him. He's looking for family that will be so filled with his spirit that he will automatically do everything he wants done.

But you can't do that if you practice self-centeredness. What did Satan practice in heaven? His plan. His way.

So our actions will show that we belong to the truth. If you're willing to throw off what Scripture says, you don't belong to the truth. Would you agree?

You can get all sad-suck about it, or you can snap out of it, slap yourself and say, my actions from now on is going to do what Scripture has to say.

Do you think it's inconvenient to do what Scripture says? No, I don't. It's going to be inconvenient as hell for you if you don't do what Scripture says. There's the inconvenience. Inconvenience is you won't have his blessing, you won't have his presence, you won't have his fellowship, he won't hear your prayers, and in the end he casts you away from him because you regret and did what you wanted to do.

There's your inconvenience for you, and it's going to be permanent, it's going to be forever, starting with ever how long you want to reject what he has to say. Now.

Let's get on with the good news. See, I have to identify because if I just talk about us being children of God, we rule out all these things. But he wants to talk to us about being the children of God. He wants to talk to us about our place in his kingdom.

Now, he wants to talk to us about our great identity and our wonderful coexistence with him here on earth. But he doesn't want you to be confused that you get any of that if you're a raggedy little snot.

Some of you look like your hair's blown back. Even if we feel guilty, God is greater than our feelings, and he knows everything.

Now, if you're not feeling guilty this morning, it's because you've decided not to be his child. But if you're feeling guilty, then there's a remedy that's in the air from the Spirit, through the Spirit.

And you can't go build your own little teepee and put your own little statue and do your own little repentance there. This is God's house. And he's watching your actions where you respond to what he has to say.

And you can't say, well, three days from now, I'll climb the mountain up there. I'll meet you up at the ski lodge at Baker. And we'll be real high up there. And that's where I'll do my repentance with a nice latte.

He opens his altar of misery for you to come and put your stuff on. So it can be sacrificed to him and his house, his way.

So you can be set free and you can enter into the new enrollment of becoming his child once again. He knows everything. He sees these things within us.

I'm within you. And a gassy child thinks, I'm not doing it your way. I'm okay. A wicked child that belongs to the devil and has made a decision and listened to the devil. You realize you'd be totally confused if the devil gets involved.

You know why God stopped speaking? If you resist him, the devil gets to come. And anything that God has to say, he will pervert what God has to say. And you will misinterpret it.

Did the Pharisees misinterpret every word that God had to say? There's your example. All through the Old Testament.

God stopped speaking to them because they would not do what he said. Because if he spoke further, now they would take that so that they could be the dictators in the land using him as a religious crutch to make everybody else do what they wanted him to do.

Beloved, now we're talking to those who have practiced doing what he says. But we could be talking to you if you

Here is the cleaned-up sermon transcription with proper punctuation, capitalization, and natural paragraphs:

U because there's some things coming down the pike. Why do I know that? Because you're not under His blessing. And if you're not under His blessing, who's wide open for the miseries that you visited upon Him? Your children.

God, again, I quote to you. He said, "I'm not going to be ignored by you. I'm not going to be cast aside by your insistence." And since you are eyeball to eyeball with me and you're in earshot of what I have to say, I declare to you: I am God.

And this resistance I see and feel in you, I promise you, I will dump it in the midst of your children's heart. They will not get away with it. I will do this so that you have to eat it. Anybody believe that to be true? Am I quoting what Scripture has to say? Hello? Am I?

Come on. Does Scripture make the statement that God will visit these things to the third and fourth generation? And does it not say, "I will do this to those who mock me"? Mock means I heard; I don't want to do it. I'm not doing it. But if we're willing...

Even right now, since you've heard these things, these are not hard things to hear if you're walking with God and if you're His child. They're only hard things to hear if you're halfway doing it. But you can make a statement to God: "I heard this day." "I'm changing this day." If you're willing to make that statement, you've got to own up.

To your resistance. You've got to own up that you've been His enemy. You've got to own up that you've been a child of the devil in your actions, thoughts, ways, in your practice of religion. It was not towards God. It was towards the God of pleasure or the God that you wanted that would make you secure of what you wanted to do.

Those are gods. If you're willing to say those things to Him, then He will call you His beloved. It's that simple. You're not His beloved unless you give up those things. So if you make a decision to become that today, then now here's what He says to those who will do what He says:

"Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, do you see? If you've been an intentional violator of what He says, your heart condemns you." But today, if you re-enroll, I want to become your child again.

I stopped for a long season, Lord. How many have had different seasons where you stopped being a child of God? True. I did for three and a half years. I didn't do anything wicked, but I wouldn't listen to God and I wouldn't do things His way. It's harder to not do things His way than it is to do things His way.

But my heart stopped condemning me because I had a powwow with Him, and it happened January 1st on 1976. Twelve hours on the altar stretched out, oh God, I changed everything that You had to say so that I could do what I wanted to do. Please forgive me.

And I began to name all the things I'd taken for pleasure along with my Winchester 300 magnum, along with my 44 magnum. Along with all my specialty rods and reels and boats, campers, furniture, house. I named all of those things I'd taken my pleasure in. I laid those on the altar and said, "Oh God, I'm so tired of being a seared mind where I cannot hear You anymore."

I couldn't walk with You and fellowship with You. Yes, I have the happiness of going and doing happenings. I had the happiness of picnics and camping and constant boating. We had a huge lake right next to our town, really clear lake, beautiful lake, like 25, 30 miles long, wonderful lake.

It had become my church. I took all my friends there, even if they were supposed to go to church. We set up a big tent. It was 50 feet long and about 30 feet wide. It was an officer's big whack tent from the Army. We put a refrigerator in beds and living room and all that stuff and had three boats parked out there, lawnmowers to mow the grass because we were camping in a place that was remote.

And I tempted church people to come and join us and spend their weekends there. I took my kids there instead of into God's house. My heart grew colder and colder until finally I could not hear. And January 1976, New Year's night, I spent 12 hours on the altar and made the announcement: "We're going to leave the church unlocked if you want to come." This is a passing of a new season.

I came, I gave God everything that I owned, everything I was, every ounce of my time, and I rededicated myself to Him. And He met me on the altar, and He accepted me on the altar. But He would not accept me had I not given those things up. I became His child again that night because I was fastly becoming a child of the devil.

The devil just does his thing his way. Did you know that? That's the earmarks of the devil. The earmarks of a son or a child of God as he does things that the Holy Spirit says or she does things. We follow the Spirit in everything.

And if you're not sure that it's God, then call upon me and you say, "I think I'm hearing this." I'll go pray and find out if that's from God. And if you're a self-centered twit that wants your life the way you want it, I'll never hear from you. You don't even have my number because you don't believe that you want to change those things.

I made a decision in my weeping before God and the emptiness of my life. Because I had experienced great things in Him. My life was empty, although I was filling it with the greatest pleasures men can have.

When I became His beloved again, all the condemnation was gone. The conviction was gone because I had surrendered. I didn't hear those voices anymore. You'll only hear those voices if you intentionally violate what He has to say. You will not hear His conviction if you just fall in the mud.

You'll hear Him say, "Get up and get out of this and don't come back to this spot." Yes, master. That's different than saying this is my home. My heart stopped condemning me, and I had confidence once again to walk in the presence of my Lord and my master.

And whatever we ask, we receive from Him. I didn't ask for a snow cone or an ice cream cone. I asked for His presence. I asked for eyes that could see Him. I asked for ears that could hear Him. I asked for a heart that could receive what He had to say with joy.

I asked to be liberated from the schemes of the devil. I asked to be washed by His blood every day. I asked to be infused with His mind. Infused with His purposes so that it would become a part of my life and that would be the greatest joy and nothing else mattered.

It's difficult to maintain myself in that position, and I have to work at it. I work at it hard so that Jesus is my consummate joy. You realize something else can replace Him real quick.

The greatest thing He says, "Whatever we ask, we receive from Him." Because we keep His instructions. If you don't keep His instructions, can you ask, hello? No. He says, if because we keep His instructions, commands, and do the things that please, that is pleasing to Him in His sight.

It implies that Jesus is so close that I'm in His sight. It implies that I can see that I'm in His sight. And it implies that I can see His eyes of what pleases Him. That's why I'm careful. I don't ask for things I want. Matter of fact, I didn't ask for a little boat named Morningstar.

Did He know that I like sailing? He did. I had a boat once. I bought it. And He said no. And so when I got it home, it was like... It had a back master cabin with a head, that's a bathroom, a center cockpit with the engine room underneath it, had a dual style keel that was like 3 foot 10 inches deep, 6,000 pound keel with a center board that would drop down another six foot so you could point straight up to the wind in it.

It had a front cabin with a bathroom and a shower and a kitchen. It had a cozy, cozy dining room set. It had a front cabin further to the front in the V-verse. And you know what the name of it was? I bought it. I'm buying it, Lord. Surely this would not violate anything if I bought this.

This was a $150,000 boat I could buy for $1,500. I was on the East Coast. It had just gone through a hurricane and needed some repairs to it. So I ordered a transport. Had it picked up. Spent my $1,500. I asked Jackie, "Jackie, now you think this is God's will?" No.

She hated boats. Well, that might be unfair to her because her parents had a little, you know, rowboat or something. 21-foot sailboat. Fun for lakes and things like that. And, you know, but honey. But it's got to be God. It's a God deal, right? It's got to be God.

See, once you get in your appetite that you want something, you're going to make it be God. You'll work Scripture to death. You'll call your friends and enemies that will agree with you that it's got to be God. You'll call the bartender, the film station guy, the reprobate that lives on the corner, the hood owls in the trees.

And all I can say, if you're counseling with other people, God made this statement. Who is this that clouds my counsel? So if you go consult with people about something instead of God, why would God give you an answer? You've already got it figured out.

Well, what do you think about this? What do you think about this dream? What do you think God's saying? If you've asked a bunch of reprobates about what God had to say, before you ever get to the point of asking God, then he makes the same statement to you that he made.

When all the people were trying to give Job counsel, who is this that clouds my counsel? And he's speaking to Job. Stand up like a man. Let me tell you something. Did you reach your hand out and make the stars? Did you make the earth? Does Leviathan beg you for his life?

Do you have him on a chain and walk him like a little dog? Does he beg? This is a fire-breathing dragon. Can you kill him? His scales are seven inches thick. A 72-pound harpoon couldn't pierce one of him. But he's down crying and weeping before me.

Who is this that darkens my counsel with their thoughts? I think Job had the right attitude. He got past himself and his thoughts. God's good at that. He's trying to help you. He's trying to help me.

This is a commandment that we believe in the name, title, character, and the established authority of Jesus being the Son of God standing on earth, that the earth is His domain. His kingdom extends into the heaven. I'm giving you the definition of what the little word in there, "name," means in the Greek.

Of his son. Whose son? This is God Almighty. And Jesus Christ, he says, and love one another just as he commanded us. If you're willing to throw off God, you're willing to throw off His people first. And go select your own people.

That's one of the characteristics of practicing unrighteousness. You throw off those, God said. Can you love from a distance? Can you love by not serving? Can you love by not associating? Can you love by where you plan your life?

If you plan your life in the midst of your brothers and sisters, then you can love. And if you don't, then you can't love. You can't fulfill the commandment. Just as he commanded us.

Now, there was a key I was after. After three and a half years of searing my conscience, I could no longer abide with Him. A stark reality of not being able to abide with Him through and in everything was too much for me.

Too big a price to pray. And so I made my flesh pay the price because He's far more valuable than what I want or what I can accumulate.

If we keep His commands, He abides in us by the spirit whom He has given us. The Holy Spirit is there so that you can speak with Jesus and follow His instructions so you can abide with Jesus.

But if you're not going to follow Scripture, what it says that we're under the law of the Holy Spirit, then you're not going to abide with Him. Do you understand that? But isn't this simple?

I mean, I'm having to labor this to death because something that's within us, oh, what's that called? Flesh, maybe? Makes up another way.

And I don't want another way. I've tried another way. It is hard work to resist God. It is soul crushing. It is bitterness of life. And you have to absolutely sear your conscience and not care about your kids and not care about anything else and want your pleasures more than your kids.

Will you sacrifice your kids on the altar of Baal for pleasure? He was a pleasure God. Because God said, anyway, I don't have to quote that to you again.

But I don't want you to go through that. Do you realize if you change it today, you can change possibly the outcome of the decisions of your children?

Because if you're not resisting God, now you fall under those things of those who love God, those who love God. Now, if you love Him, you're going to obey Him. And if you obey Him, He says, I have a blessing for you, and I have a blessing to a thousand generations of your children.

If you're doing one, resisting God, you can't get into the blessing of something happening for your children in the future. You nullified it on purpose for your pleasure. You selfish twit.

Are you going to the altar of Baal for your own pleasure, willing to sacrifice your kids because you won't do your duty before God? Do I have to speak so poignant?

That's what the Old Testament guys did, was it not? Nobody could get anything else wise. But any time they spoke, they offered a different way.

Again, the door is still open for you to re-up in God's new covenant of you becoming His child and doing things His way again. Fellowshiping with Him on a daily basis. Feeling Him and knowing I'm a good child to the Father and not a problem child.

I'm a good child that I become the apple of His eye. Quite a few times in life, I became the worm in the apple in His eye. He said, you see that? What? What? What?

You created it. No, he didn't. Become the apple of His eye. Your fellowship with Him can look like this today.

Find anything that's in your heart, and you don't have to look if there's been any conviction by the Holy Spirit. than just to act upon those small things.

If you're big things, if you find yourself way down the toilet on these things, then Jesus opened the door. But you have to realize you've been a child of the devil.

I had to realize that and go to the altar and say, oh God, here I am. I've served my enemy and yours in doing my will. My will is not your will.

And I laid everything that concerned my will. You know, it happened to count up in cash and dollars and stuff. My will had been succumbed to my pleasures. And I had great treasures.

And I had to put those on the altar, not because He requested them, but I think the Holy Spirit whispered those things in my soul.

What about, see, I couldn't find a good enough camper when I was younger, and my dad had worked at a camper factory, and so when I was 14, 15, and 16, I helped him build a couple at home, and they looked just like the factory models.

So when I was 19, working for the refinery, I decided to build a camper because I couldn't find one with everything you could get in one. They still don't make them like that.

Maybe if you want to pay $100,000 for a cab over a camper. This was a cab over a camper. Seven and a half feet wide. Had a king-size bed over that you could set up in over the cab of a truck. It stuck four foot out the back of the truck. It had a set of stairs that came down.

It had everything in the world. And guess what? I felt, Lord. I love that more than I love You. I'm sorry.

I met the devil there many times. Went camping many times. Went off fishing with the devil many times. Because if you're not with God, who's going to meet you?

Calling myself a child of God. Lying to myself. So I could do everything. But I lost this. This is where I was before I started doing that. This is what I heard. This is what I saw. This is who I fellowshiped with.

I had for years been in a place like this with my gone. And how can I sell it for a few pennies here on earth? Philippians 2, 14 and 16. Doing all things without grumbling or disputing. What are the all things?

How about all the things that God has said do? And how about all the things that God has said don't do? Do you grumble? You know, I go, okay, I drag myself down.

God made a pronouncement today that meeting with Him was like getting to go to the dance and swirl around with Him. And you know what He got?

Somebody said, "I ain't coming. I don't like to dance. I got my own dance over here. I got my own way."

He heard that.

It says, do all things without grumbling or disputing so that you will prove yourselves to be blameless and innocent. What do we have to prove that we're blameless and innocent? How do we get blameless and innocent?

Simply just doing what the Holy Spirit says. But again, if you violate Scripture, you can't hear from the Holy Spirit. Are we in agreement?

That if you violate what Scripture says, you are no longer a candidate to hear from the Holy Spirit nor Jesus. If you're in agreement with that, raise your hand.

You can't. It's not possible. Either that or the book's a lie. Either that or God's a liar. So one of us has to be a liar. I don't think God is. He says that, right?

Here is the cleaned and formatted sermon transcription:

To me. Every one of my purposes were taken away. I gave them away in exchange for this. Would you look at this, please? What are you giving away in exchanging for this on a daily purpose?

Every day this is available to you. Look up at the screen, please. Every day this is available for you.

Are you going to exchange this for what you want? He says, so that you will prove yourself to be blameless and innocent children of God above reproach. If you're breakers of his word, you're not above reproach.

In the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, if you change his ways, what he has to say, that means you're crooked and it means you're a perverse generation. As lights in the world. If you're willing to keep what he has to say, now you're a light in the world.

See, I'm an obnoxious light, and I'm shining right in your face right now. But it's his light that's shining in you because he wants you to come into the light and become a child of light.

Some of you are like, drawn to the light. I hope so. Some of you feel like, no, I'm not coming to it. You know the bug that, oh, not coming, and they come to the light anyway, you know. They keep hitting the light and flying, and there we go.

John 12:35. Jesus said to them, for a little while, longer, the light is among you. Has Jesus come to visit us this morning? The light is among us right now.

Do you think the light is shining? The light always shines on that what God wants us to do.

And when I come into the light, I've made a decision. I'm doing what you want to do. If I stay in the darkness, I will not come out and agree with him.

Jesus said to them for a little while, longer the light is among you. Walk while you have the light. See, I went three and a half years without the light. Without the light. So that darkness will not overtake you.

Darkness almost overtook me. Matter of fact, while I was building that camper, I was listening to the eagles instead of worship music. Oh, man, I love that music. And it got in my heart and it got in my head.

And as a result, I became more like a pickled herring every day. I became a can of sardines. Instead of waltzing with God, dancing with God, listening to music, it was music. That cherubs would come down and listen to.

Walk while you have the light so that darkness will not overtake you, which means if you've been resisting what his instructions are, darkness is already overtaking you, so you've changed your way of life.

And if you've changed your way of life to not follow his instructions, you slowly are... You know, we're slowly being transformed into a child of God if you're obedient. You can slowly be transformed into a child of Satan by doing your own will.

You realize that's the only thing the guy did. He just did his own will. But God would not accept that. And we can't see what harm is there in us doing our will.

Well, there's no harm if you don't want to be his child. And that's the task that you face here on earth.

The test is the children who lay their will down to do their father's will have a father. The children that will not lay their will down do not have a father. Is that a true statement? Raise your hand if you think that's a true statement.

That's why it's important we do. What scripture says. It's not so that we can be religious. It's so that we can be in his presence. We can be in the presence of angels. That we can have his light shining in our eyes and in our heart.

And our heart takes on a new stance. And it takes on a new mind. And it takes on a new purpose. And the joy of the Lord enters us.

While you have the light, believe. That means practice doing what he says in the light. So that you may become sons of light.

What are we trying to become? Sons practicing what he has said. It will be light into your soul.

In the midst of what he has said, we will see him and we will meet him between the cherubims. There is a way into God's presence.

And it's simply just, yes, Lord, one instruction at a time, and the higher we will go as we are elevated to become children of light.

Ephesians 5:8, and 10. For you were formerly darkness, but now you are light in the Lord.

Can I put in, if you're doing what he says, are you light of the Lord if you don't do what he says intentionally? Hello? Answer.

Are you light of the Lord if you don't do what he says? It's not possible. I keep asking these questions because sometime within our subconscious, our mind is trained that we don't have to do what God says.

In our excusatarian religion, we look up all kinds of passages and heard all kinds of mutes from hell. Regurgitate Scripture to us that were not men of God, they were men of Satan, and to teach us not to do what Scripture says.

Any of you ever been taught by reprobates called preachers that were not of God that taught you not to do what God's Word said do? Hello? Raise your hand if you have.

See, that's part of the problem. The problem is, is one saved, always saved?

The problem is, I am righteous, I am holy. The problem is, I'm a child. No, all those things were false. We can become that if we're obedient and if we please him.

Are you in agreement with me? So part of the things that the Lord is trying to get to, it's theology put in here that gives us an excuse to ignore what scripture says.

I was raised a good Southern Baptist, and boy, they were called hard-shell Southern Baptists in the South because we could resist what God had to say and justify ourselves by the penance of what we thought we would do for God, but not do what he said.

You were formerly darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of the light.

If you're unwilling to do what he says, you're not a child of the light. For the fruit of the light consists in all goodness and righteousness and truth. Whose goodness? God's. Whose righteousness? His. Whose truth? His.

That's the scripture. Trying to learn what is pleasing to God. Walk as children of light. Try to learn what is pleasing to God.

Is it pleasing to him for you to violate scripture? Become a child. I know we're in a dark forest of life, but if you become a child of light, Jesus' presence will be illuminated into your mind, and he will show you a pathway out of darkness.

1 Thessalonians 5:5. If you are all sons of light and sons of the day, you notice the word, it says for you, not if.

Today, if you're willing to say before God, I want to enter your kingdom again. I'm sorry, oh God, I stopped being your child. I started obeying my will and Satan's will. Now the door will open, but if you're too prideful to do that, that means you want to stay with your agenda.

God sees that too. See, he's forcing you into a place. You have to make a decision.

So you'll know this day when we stand in heaven, you face that decision and you chose. I don't want you, God. I'm doing it my way.

He wants you to know the truth of your actions and the truth of your thoughts and the truth of the lies. For you are all sons of the light and sons of the day.

We are not of the night nor of the darkness. Where's the night? I'm asleep to what God says.

Where's the darkness? I'm not doing what God says. I want you to think about this.

If we're children of the light, we can be fully filled with all of his truth so that we become transformed, that our will begins to become the Father's will.

Jesus came with the joyous precept and thought, not my will, but yours be done. A mission was laid before him to come and show us what it was like to be a child of God and to be a child of light.

He listened to the Holy Spirit and everything that he did, he stood in the light of his Father.

He went out and saw what the Father was doing and came back and did. Everything that Jesus did, every miraculous thing that he did, all miracles that Jesus did, he only saw his Father doing that, and he did what his Father did because he was a child of not my will, O God, but your will.

When you're willing to lay down your will, and say not my will oh god but yours be done you'll become a child of light if you say god you'll have to accept my will then you're no different than Cain. You wanted to come and offer a gourd for a sacrifice.

And God says, that's not acceptable. You know what the acceptable sacrifice is? What was he after? He was after his will to yield, to offer what God said offer.

He refused. And the person that was righteous that did that, he went and killed him. It's a bitter thing for somebody else to be righteous and you to be a pig. You see them. Oh, you're a sheep. And you go after that sheep.

Become a child of light. In the midst of God's presence, your whole life will change. The joys of his fellowship will come.

Romans 8:29. And we know that God causes all things to work together for the good of those who love him. What's his definition of love? Anybody know?

John chapter 15. If you love me, obey me. And those who don't love me, don't obey me.

So he said, I'm going to work everything for your good if you do what I say. Are we in agreement that that's a loose translation of what's stated here? Are we in agreement that if we don't do what he says, things aren't going to work from God's vantage point for my good?

I see many people harm themselves over and over and over again, bypassing the blessings of the Lord. The Lord gets something lined up he's going to bless you with, and then your disobedience nullifies him moving his hand.

How many have had that happen? How many were warned about that? How many did I warn you personally of what God said?

And it didn't work out because you didn't fulfill. And we know that God causes all things to work together for the good of those who love God, and to those who are called according to his purposes.

There has to be a new calling today if you're going to re-up with him to be his child. There's a new calling, and it's for his purposes, not yours.

For those he foreknew, you may have come into the kingdom. I came into the kingdom 62 years ago.

I've had to re-up many times. I've had to recommit myself to him many times. I've had to strike my will down many times. I've had to start over many times because I get started in God, and then I turn and go do something in my flesh, and I abandon him.

But he's not abandoned me because he knew that he visited me, and he knew I said, I really want you, Lord.

Now, see, he also knew the heritage I had of wanting to do my will. My dad would never do anybody's will except his own. He was a ring-tailed tutor, loud-mouthed, braggadocious, ring-tailed tutor.

His dad, because he was so rebellion, now his dad was a mean guy, but my dad was a rebel.

Always would do things his way. It got to the point when he was about 12 or 13 that dad would be thrown such a fit that his father would have to tie him to a tree to give him a weapon. He would not. No, you're not going to do that.

His dad was stronger than him. Okay, tie you to the tree. No! Are you a rebel towards God?

Well, there's only one tree that you need to be tied to, and it's the cross. And the cross is willing to take the brutality that you deserve. His name is Jesus. He's willing to hang on the cross for your rebellions, your indulgences, your free will.

He gave you free will. You're the one that has to come in. I want to be your slave, and I'm no longer free.

For those he foreknew, He predestinated to become conformed to the image of his son. Now, here's where they name it and claim it.

People say that I've got one saved. All he's saved, he predestinated. He predestinated you that you were supposed to be conformed to the son. Have you conformed? No, I'm going to give you an opportunity to meet my son and be conformed to what he has to say.

And to others, he said, I'm not giving you an opportunity to meet my son because you don't want me. But if you want me, I'm going to give you an opportunity to have a head-on collision with my son and with the Spirit so that you can be conformed to the image of his son.

2 Corinthians 3:16-18, in closing, whenever a person turns to the Lord, that's where you're at today. Am I going to turn? Even if it's a small thing that the Holy Spirit has been speaking to you about. He says, can we just talk about the small thing?

And if it's a huge thing, can we talk about the huge? Whoever turns to the Lord.

See, the problem is we can't turn to him because he had the veil of our will over our eyes. That we can only play the movie of our desires.

And he says that veil of the movie of your desires will be taken away if we turn to the Lord. Now, the Lord is spirit. And where the Holy Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

What do we need to be liberated from? Our will, our way, and Satan's plans. Would you agree with that?

Because if I'm liberated from those things, now I can walk with him on earth, which qualifies me for everlasting life. If I'm not liberated from my will, And Satan's influence, I can't go walk in the spirit.

But if I'm not liberated, it means I haven't done what the Lord said. He said whenever a person turns to the Lord, today he's willing to let you turn to him. And he is exposing the veil of your will.

Do you want it taken away? A veil will be taken away if you turn to the Lord today. You can't turn to him unless you say, I'm a reprobate, I've been doing it my way. On purpose. I resisted you, O God.

If he hears those words come out of your heart and out of your mind, then you've turned to the Lord and he'll take away the veil. If he doesn't hear those words, oh my goodness, you're going to be stuck in darkness.

The veil cannot be taken away unless you turn to him. The veil of your own pleasures, your own will, your own thoughts, your own purposes, it's right before your face.

There's a real veil. God intentionally makes sure that veil covers your eyes so you can't see him because you didn't want to do his ways. Didn't he say that to the Israelis? He said, I'm going to put a veil over you. I'm going to cause you, you can't see me.

You can't even do what's right.

But yet they thought they did.

Now, here's the thing. If we're willing to turn to the Lord, that's confession. I haven't done. I am doing as the Holy Spirit has projected himself grandly upon us this morning.

If you have accepted what he says, and you as a person are willing to turn to him away from your strong self-will. Now the veil will be taken away of your flesh, your desires.

But we all, with unveiled faces, what happens? If we, Lord, I want you with all my heart, mind, soul, all of a sudden, the veil is lifted, and I can see him, but I also can see the veil that goes up, that it's just, wow, it's just what I wanted.

That's all it was. I was so stubborn, obnoxious, that I had to have my comfort and my way. It's a veil.

And if you want that veil rather than God, you won't turn to the Lord this day. But if you turn to him as a prescribed method of doing that, you can't even do it your way, then the veil of your disobediences, your pleasures, your wants, and your ways will be taken away by him today.

But we all with unveiled faces, that's to the ones that are really, oh, Lord, I turn to you. Then he will unveil your face. Beholding as a mirror, what do I get to see?

The glory of the Lord. I get to see his glory that's going to re-inspire me. His glory.

His glory is heaven. His glory is his angels. His glory is the words that he is speaking that brings life. His glory is the manifest presence of the Holy Spirit.

His glory is the mind gets to see those things and perceive those things. And if we see those things and perceive those things, we want those for those of far greater riches and far greater comfort than what we're trying to do for ourselves.

Behold. You will be, when your face is unveiled, you'll be beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord.

And are being transformed into that same image. See, I wanted that so much in 1976. I wanted to be transformed back into his image.

If you walk with Jesus in the Spirit and do things His way, you will become transformed, looking like Him. You won't have a strong will or a strong opinion.

If you walk with the enemy, you will be slowly changed into a beast of the earth. The Lord will be being transformed into the same image, glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.

Whenever a person, we did that. So in conclusion, I want you to understand this is a pivotal day because of what the Lord has said. He said, I'm opening an enrollment for you to re-up to become my whole child. I'm opening an enrollment so you can stop being wishy-washy.

I'm opening an enrollment of you turning away from the stench that's in my nostrils. I'm opening an enrollment for you to become my child in your actions and in your thoughts and come away from being a child of the devil.

There's open enrollment today. That was a prophecy that the Lord gave

Here is the cleaned sermon transcription:

Decision about. If you're God, then you can change that geographical decision. If he's God, he's making a termination of your geographical decision this day, which you agree with on. No minor thing, dear ones. The ball's in your court. I'm going to have to stand before him, and so are you.

The words that were said this day will be repeated to you. And the question will be, I ask you, why didn't you come through the door? I offered that to you. Were you so prideful that you couldn't come through the door?

So if we could have a little music from Maestro back there. Anybody back there? A little bit louder, please. I'm going to do something a little bit different today.

If you've heard God and there's any issue in your heart and you want to make this a grand day of reupting to be his child and pass through the door. The altar's going to be open for about five minutes for you. You make your decision. Do your own thing. Do what you want. God gave you free will.
