    Those who have heard this message are those whom Christ hath begun a good work in. It is not the sinner who is dead, and at enmity with God, it is the sinner who hath come to the uttermost ends of themselves, utterly broken and in desperate need of saving and a Savior ,and had no use for their life whatsoever but when Christ came and called their name, they left all, and followed Christ. Without question, imperfectly yes, but contrite and seeking holiness; It is those who have been purchased and washed and redeemed and transformed and who basks in the glory of that which Christ did for us on His cross for us. Hallelujah! To God be strength and glory and dominion and might and power forever and ever.
    Amen.

    Family members will think you are crazy. Co workers will mock you. People will talk and lie about you behind your back. Your spouse might leave you. Your children might not want to have anything to do with you.
    Truly it might cost you everything. But its worth it all. Especially when you enter the Kingdom and you can hug the Eternal King and spend eternity with the Lord in the Celestial City.
    Jesus is the only one. He is everything.

      Did you really "totally surrender" though? Or is there still sin in your life? Of course we should obey God, but my Bible tells me that eternal life and being declared righteous before God is a "free gift" (Romans 5) based on the total surrender of Christ to save me, something *he* already purchased, based on *him* giving *his life* as a ransom for all (1 Tim 2:5-6), not based on you or me "giving my life" for it, or "purchased with the total complete surrender of your life to Christ. That's what saving faith is." as Lawson says in this video. I don't even know if the Catholic church could rival that in terms of teaching works salvation.

      @@missiletoad7015 Salvation is not purchased with total surrender, but received as a gift through total surrender. Total surrender is not the price of Salvation, but the prerequisite of Salvation.
      There is a difference between price and prerequisite, both in its general meaning and in context of salvation. One is infinite, the other is temporal. One is impossible and isn't demanded by God, the other is possible (through the grace of God and the strength of the Holy Spirit) and is demanded by God.
      God has Himself paid the price of Salvation and is ready to offer it as a free gift to anyone who accepts the prerequisite of completely surrendering his life to God.

    I just found you and I'm so blessed by your truthful preaching, what a relief and a miracle. I laid down my entire lifetime to keep my profoundly autistic brain injured adult son safely out of stupifyingly abusive group homes. I did it because God asked me to do it and He gives me the strength and patience and wisdom to fight against an evil world filled with Eugenistists including doctors and nurses and social workers. I stand between them and my son whom this evil world hates and doesn't want to have to see him. This world wants both my son and I dead. Even police have attacked my son right in his own bedroom and right on his own bed because he had a bad tooth and he was screaming. Long story... I was also attacked by the 25 cops who had rushed into our home. As soon as cops even see my son they instantly uncles their gun holsters and put their hand on the butt ready and itching to murder my son and me his loving mommy who would leap to protect my beloved son. If anyone bothers to read this, please pray for us. As I pray for all my brothers and sisters in Christ

    I think we often forget the power of the Holy Spirt living inside us along with the nature of our new creation. There is much talk about all it will cost us, as if it's all based on our own strength and effort. The gospel is about God, not us, so that nobody should boast. What seems to be missing when we count the cost is the other side of the coin, the "opportunity" cost. When we are saved, we grow to love Jesus, He becomes our treasure, that desire He gives us will cost us all our former self/old man things to go after. We don't lose everything to find ourselves worthy of Jesus - He meets us as we are. We gladly lose things along the way the deeper we grow in love with Him during our sanctification. We should count the cost, but count it from a grateful heart - not out of resentment/fear/anxiety as some of these videos strike emotionally. Do you need to surrender your life? Of course, but it's not done out dire longing to run to the Savior - not with eyes of an angry God full of Wrath (that day is yet to come).

    Always wonder why we need to have the background music to "set the mood?" I hear it online, I hear at services, everyone seems that the Holy Spirit needs our help to set the mood and maybe entice those. The movies do this for a reason, to get you emotionally involved or prepare you for what is about to happen.

      Yeah, why does the Bible use rhetoric too! I mean, the Ancient Greek use it. Why did Paul quote an Roman poet. I always wonder why we need these « rhetoric devices » to « set the tone ». It seems that everyone believe the Holy Spirit need man’s help to sound eloquent or something. Also, David should have wrote Psalm as a collection of poem and not as music.

      Psalms are used by Jews (at least, back in the days) as worship hymns. Even the Scottish Christians during the Hebrides Revival sang them. Psalms were written by David as a form of worship that we neglect to use today.
      There is a difference between worship that is directed to God and "softly played guitar or piano" to set the mood.
      Did they get the minstrels out when Peter preached to the cried during Pentecost? Did Phillip get a haro out to help the eunuch decide before being baptized?

    @I'll Be Honest - the dramatic music is displeasing to God. Sermons and messages from God through pastors and teachers was never meant to be accompanied by music.. A psalm, yes; a sermon, no. Imagine Sunday morning at the church house with the pastor preaching, and dramatic musical scores being played in the background over the PA by some unknown fellow who is self-interpreting the moods and tempo of the words being spoken. --- People don't learn and ponder the message that way, though many may be briefly enthralled by it. I myself can't listen to it, as much as I really want to. These are excellent messages!
    This is spoken in truth and love. I pray you and everyone who does this will stop adding interpretive music to preachers words from God.

It is a sold out faith like “ sorry Dad sorry mom but Jesus has plans for me and I can’t make it today I am following Him” putting Jesus above all, complete surrender and a heart that says “yes Lord” it’s hard but it is worth it and many come into the kingdom when we prove through our obedience that there is not only someone that died for me but I am willing to die for Him.

    Matthew 7:13-14 "
    "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it."
    Luke 13:24
    Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able".
    How many Christians are willing to do what it takes, to be a REAL Christian Disciple!!?!!

    @knockout9999 If your looking for a list of to-do's and do not's then repent and believe the Gospel. This is not about LAW and following morals this is about following Christ. He says in Luke 14:33 to renounce it all. - Forsake your life now or you will be damned in the life to come. The momentary joys of this world are not worth the hells of God's wrath in the life after.

      Luke 14:33 says *disciples*. Being a disciple and trying to follow all God wants for you to do is WORK. Hard WORK. That verse says absolutely nothing about "renouncing it all" and "forsaking your life" to avoid being damned in the life to come or staying out of hell. Eternal life and God's righteousness credited to you is about putting your faith in CHRIST who sacrificed and forsook HIS life to purchase us, not by us doing any works of "committing our life to follow and serve him" to purchase or receive it. That's why it's called GRACE, and why the Bible says it is imputed WITHOUT WORKS (Romans 4). I mean, I see your comment was 12 years ago - but are you serious?

    Excellent sermon, excellent presentation brother. We need to be followers of Christ not mere men.
    Yes we must be willing to suffer and partake of HIS cup, that we may reign with HIM, amen.
    We can not manifest HIM in our lives, if HIS Spirit does not dwell in us. We only have ears to hear if HIS Spirit is in us. It is the HOLY Spirit which opens the TRUTH for us, that we may know.
    No man comes to the Father except He be drawn of HIM. We must be born again. We must become new creatures.

    will have mercy on me and forgive me and direct me back to his love. I can't even sleep at night because I'm too busy on my knees asking God to give me a new heart. I feel like he removed his holy spirit from me, but now I want it back because I realize that as you said "The momentary joys of this world are not worth the hells of God's wrath in the life after."
    PLEASE PRAY FOR ME!

    I am so happy someone is faithful enough to tell the truth. God does not compromise. What right do we have to expect He should. Jesus was very clear and never watered down or compromised the truth. He said “For many are invited, but few are chosen.” (Matt 22:14) and: “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it." (Matt 7:13)

    James 1:5If any of you lacks wisdom,let him ask of God,that giveth to all men liberally,and upbraidith not;and it will be given him(6)But let him ask in faith,nothing wavering.For he that waverteth is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.(7)For let that man think that he shall receive any thing of the LORD.(8)A double-minded man unstable in all his ways.REV12:11And they overcame him by the blood of the lamb,and by the word of their testimony

    "Joh 12:4 But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples (he who was about to betray him), said." - This verse shows that a lost person can be a disciple. - Acts 11:26 - "And in Antioch the disciples were first called Christians." - Joh 8:31 - So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed in him, "If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples" - You are saved... to be a disciple is to be saved. There are other verses as well.
