THE DOMINANT CHRISTIAN DOCTRINE OF THE PILGRIMS AND PURITANS IN THE 1600s, AND JONATHAN EDWARDS AND GEORGE WHITEFIELD IN THE 1700s, WAS THAT FREEWILL IN SALVATION IS A FICTION. GEORGE WHITEFIELD PREACHED OVER 18,000 SERMONS IN THE FIELDS MOST OF THE TIME, TO 2 1/2 MILLION COLONISTS, WITH CROWDS OF OVER 20,000, SOMETIMES, AND THERE WAS A GREAT RELIGIOUS AWAKING THAT OUR FOUNDING FATHERS MOSTLY EXPERIENCED AS CHILDREN AND YOUNG ADULTS, WHICH WAS THE UNDERPINNING OF OUR MIRACULOUS CONSTITUTION. GEORGE WHITEFIELD WAS THE EVANGELIST AND JONATHON EDWARDS WAS THE INFLUENTIAL PASTOR OF THE AWAKENING & THEY WERE INEXTRICABLY TIED TO RELIGIOUS POLITICS.

    IS IT POSSIBLE TO BE A BORN AGAIN CHRISTIAN IF WE HAVE NOT DIED A SPIRITUAL DEATH BEFORE WE DIE PHYS

    THE FOLLOWING VERSE IS WHAT WE CALL AN AXIOMATIC VERSE. THAT IS, THIS VERSE IS A KEY VERSE IN WHICH OUR SALVATION IS DEPENDENT UPON. Rom. 7: [1] Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth? CAN WE GO TO HEAVEN IF THE LAW STILL HAS DOMINION OVER US? HOW DO WE GET OUT FROM UNDER THE DOMINION OF THE LAW? AS LONG AS WE ARE STILL ALIVE, THE LAW HAS DOMIMION OVER US, OR IN OTHER WORDS, IF WE HAVEN’T DIED A SPIRITUAL DEATH, THE LAW STILL HAS DOMINION OVER US. THE UNDERPINNING OF THIS MESSAGE IS AGAIN: Rom.7 [1] Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth? AND WHAT IS THE SOLUTION IN GETTING OUT FROM UNDER THE DOMINION OF THE LAW? THE APOSTLE PAUL GIVES HIS OWN PERSONAL TESTIMONY OF HOW HE GOT OUT FROM UNDER THE LAW. ROM. 7: [9] For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died. [10] And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death. [11] For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me. IF THESE VERSES ABOVE ARE ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL TO OUR SALVATION HOW IS IT THAT EVERY AMERICAN DOESN’T HAVE THEM MEMORIZED OR AT LEAST KNOWN OF, AS WE DO JOHN 3:16. AND IF THEY ARE NOT THAT IMPORTANT, WHY WOULD THE APOSTLE PAUL GIVE HIS OWN PERSONAL TESTIMONY OF ROM. 7:1 IN ROM. 7:9-11. WE WILL, IN THIS MESSAGE TAKE A DEEP THEOLOGICAL DIVE INTO THE EXPANATION AND APPLICATION OF THESE VERSES TO OUR SALVATION AND LIVES. WHY AS AMERICANS HAVE WE NOT EVEN HEARD OF THESE VERSES IF THEY ARE THAT CRITICAL TO OUR SALVATION? WHY HAVE WE NOT HEARD ABOUT PAUL’S OWN PERSONAL TESTIMONY? WHY HAVEN’T WE? THAT IS A GOOD QUESTION IS IT NOT?

    FURNACE OF AFFLICTION BY GEORGE WHITEFIELD

    SERMON LXV. THE FURNACE OF AFFLICTION. I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.—Isaiah xlviii. 10. GRACIOUS words indeed! words worthy of a God! who has promised that “he will not always chastise, that he will not keep his anger for ever;” but, on the contrary, will take care in the midst of judgment to remember mercy, and if he strike with one hand, will uphold with the other. I hope I need not tell you, my dear hearers, that these words were spoken to comfort the captives in Babylon, who, for their various sins and great backslidings, constrained the God of love, the God of mercy, their covenant God, to send them captives into a foreign soil; upon this, their enemies take occasion to insult them, “Where are now your songs?” say they; give us one of your temple songs, with which you used to pour out your hallelujahs; let us see now whether you can praise him in a strange land. The enemy of souls joining inwardly with them without, makes some that can sing, even afraid “that God hath forgotten to be gracious, that he hath shut up his lovingkind- ness in displeasure,” that the darkness in which they were now involved would not be a temporary, but a perpetual one; and notwithstanding the prophets were sent in mercy of God to comfort them in their trouble, yet many of them were tempted to say, “All men (yea the prophets) were liars;” it is very well if they stopped there, and did not say, God is a liar too. The enemy being thus suffered to break in upon them like a flood, it was high time for the blessed God to lift up a standard against him; and therefore the great Redeemer, the angel of the everlasting covenant, … not for any good foreseen, but he says, “for my own name’s sake;” that the heathen might not say God had utterly forsaken them, he will appear for their relief, and “make them more than conquerors through him that loved them that however dark the season of affliction might be, yet he would let his own people know that all that happened, happened out of love; that it was so far from being true, that they were really cast off from God, that, on the contrary, he intended to overrule these troubles, both foreign and domestic, to bring them nearer to, and at last to lodge them safe in, the world above; well there- fore for their comfort might it be ushered in thus, “For my name’s sake will I defer my anger, and for my praise will I refrain for thee, that I cut thee not 2off.” And to fix their attention and gratitude, it is added, “Behold I have re- fined thee, but not with silver;” for this is so far from being contrary to the everlasting decree or purpose, hid in my bosom, that, on the contrary, it is the fulfilling it; for, saith God, in the words of our text,“ I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.” Though the words are spoken in the singular number, yet they are of a complex and large import: the great God not only speaks to them as a people collectively considered, but particularizes them in this manner; not, “I have chosen you, but I have chosen thee;” for the word of God itself will never, never, never do us good, if it is not applied by the blessed Spirit of God to you and I. The wisdom and kindness of the Holy Ghost deserves our notice; had the prophet gone on and said , “I have chosen you,” unbelief might have said, Ah, this prophecy belongs only to the people of Israel, the words were addressed to those who were under the Jewish dispensation, what have I to do with them? or unbelief would persuade us to say so of such a general promise as this; … God has chosen me in the furnace of affliction.” Perhaps, there is not a more comfortable passage in the whole book of God; I do not know of one that has a greater tendency to silence a complaining child of God, or to make a poor suffering believer happy, and to rest under the prom- ise, to kiss the rod of God that strikes the blow.

    THE STRAIT GATE BY THE AUTHOR PILGRIM’S PROGRESS, JOHN BUNYAN-ARE THERE FEW THAT BE SAVED-WHAT DO?

    JOHN BUNYAN(AUTHOR OF PILGRIMS PROGRESS) SPEAKS TO HIS READERS AS A PREFACE TO HIS SERMON, ‘THE STRAIT GATE’ COURTEOUS READER, God, I hope, hath put it into my heart to write unto thee another time, and that about matters of greatest moment— for now we discourse not about things controverted among the godly, but directly about the saving or damning of the soul; yea, moreover, this discourse is about the fewness of them that shall be saved, and it proves that many a high professor will come short of eternal life; wherefore the matter must needs be sharp, and so disliked by some, but let it not be rejected by thee. The text calls for sharpness, so do the times, yea, the faithful discharge of my duty towards thee hath put me upon it. I do not now pipe, but mourn; and it will be well for thee if thou canst graciously lament. (Matt 11:17) Some, say they, make the gate of heaven too wide, and some make it too narrow; for my part, I have here presented thee with as true a measure of it as by the Word of God I can. Read me, therefore, yea, read me, and THE STRAIT GATE 3 TO THE READER. compare me with the Bible; and if thou findest my doctrine and that book of God concur, embrace it, as thou wilt answer the contrary in the day of judgment. This awakening work— if God will make it so— was prepared for thee: if there be need, and it wounds, get healing by blood: if it disquiets, get peace by blood: if it takes away all thou hast, because it was naught (for this book is not prepared to take away true grace from any), then buy of Christ “gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich, and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear, and anoint thine eyes with eye-salve, that thou mayest see.” (Rev 3:18) Self- flatteries, self- deceivings, are easy and pleasant, but damnable. The Lord give thee a heart to judge right of thyself, right of this book, and so to prepare for eternity, that thou mayest not only expect entrance, but be received into the kingdom of Christ and of God. Amen. So prays thy Friend, 1676 JOHN BUNYAN

    SOUL DEJECTION BY GEORGE WHITEFIELD

    Another George Whitfield sermon, entitled Soul Dejection, this sermon is based off of Psalm 42 written by David. Verse one reads as a Hart or Deer panteth after Water-brooks, so my soul panteth after Thee O Lord, and it goes on to say why is my soul cast down, but many of our fast food, freewill friends have no idea how to use the psalms because they use the third use of the law which means that they’re getting the booster shot from the Holy Spirit to follow the law, but in reality the law can only condemn, as Jesus says in Matthew 23 the law is to be used to clean the inside of the cup, that we might see the evil black cat in our heart and repent over it before it escapes and then we won’t need to clean the outside of the cup. David writes in Psalm 38, rebuke me not in Thy wrath O Lord, nor chasten me and Thy hot displeasure, for thine arrows stick fast in me, and Thy hand presses me sore, for there’s no soundness in my flesh, because of thine anger, no rest in my bones because of my sin: Here David is seeing his original is sin, that his original sin is sin before the evil black cat escapes. So if we use the law properly, Jesus said, blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of God. In order to be a Christian we have to be poor in spirit otherwise the kingdom of God will not be ours. Blessed are those who mourn and mourn over what, but over our original sin and they shall be comforted. So the law demands perfection and perfection throws us to the feet of Jesus, crying out for mercy in order that we might find Grace. So when our soul is dejected, we can find a psalm that matches how we feel and we do not let any crisis go to waste. We immediately go to the psalms and find what Psalm matches where we’re at and then we begin to memorize it because we’re so overwhelmed, with maybe world persecuting us, or our own sin nature tempting us, that our soul is dejected and so we go to God, and do as David did, he says in psalm 42, why is my soul cast down, so you explain that to the Lord and so we don’t need to go to a psychiatrist, we go to the psalms whenever we’re overwhelmed with the evil forces from the outside or the evil in our own heart. The psalms are a perfect way to pray and George Whitfield totally understood this and thus entitled this sermon Soul Dejection and in psalm 42 King David talks about his dejection. King David talks about his dejection and his soul is cast down, but then later on he says, then I remembered the Jordan then we remember all the things that God has done for us and we go from our soul being cast down to our soul being lifted up. Listen to the sermon over and over and you’ll find many nuggets of truth in this sermon may the Lord bless the hearing of this sermon to your souls.

    SALVATION LOOKED AT THRU SELF EVIDENT TRUTHS: THE DOWNFALL OF THE FASTFOOD FREEWILL CHURCH!!!

    TITLE OF THIS MESSAGE: SALVATION LOOKED AT THRU THE EYES OF SELF EVIDENT TRUTHS: THE DOWNFALL OF THE FASTFOOD FREEWILL CHURCH. TO DEBATE THE TRUTH THRU SELF-EVIDENT TRUTHS ALWAYS PUTS US IN A POSITION OF POWER, THUS A POSITION OF WINNING THE DEBATE. SO WHAT IF WE ASK ANOTHER AMERICAN TO ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS: ARE YOU A LIAR? ​WHO DO YOU LIE TO THE MOST? ​ARE YOU GOING TO DIE PHYSICALLY? ​IF IN ANSWEING A QUESTION IN A TRUE-FALSE TEST, IF THE QUESTION IS FALSE AT ANY POINT IS THE ANSWER FALSE? ​IF THERE IS NO KNOWN ABSOLUTE TRUTH IS THERE AN ABSOLUTE RIGHT OR WRONG? Yes or No? ​SOME PEOPLE DIE FROM A CAR ACCIDENT, OR THEY FELL IN THE TUB, OR THEY FELL DOWN THE STAIRS, OR THEY DROWNED, OR THEY WERE SHOT, ETC. BUT THESE ARE JUST SERVICE REASONS FOR EVERYONE DIES WHETHER IN THE WOMB OR OLD AGE AND THUS THERE HAS TO BE ONE REASON EVERYONE IS DYING. TRUE OR FALSE ​CAN LYING BE ERADICATED IN OUR HEART? SUPPOSE WE MAKE A VOW TO GOD THAT WE WILL NEVER EVER THE REST OF OUR LIFE, ADD AN INFINITESIMAL TO THE TRUTH OR SUBTRACT AN INFINITESIMAL FROM THE TRUTH, HOW MANY MINUTES CAN WE GO? ​A PROSTITUTE IS TECHNICALLY IS AN ENTREPRENEUR FOR SHE MAKES A LIVING BY INNATELY UNDERSTANDING THE NATURE OF A MAN: SHE KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT TO DO TO MAKE A LIVING AS WELL AS ALL OF US AMERICANS MEN KNOW WHAT SHE DOES. SHE PUTS ON THE HIGH HEELS, RAISES THE HEM LINE, LOWERS THE NECKLINE, PAINTS HER FACE, PUTS ON THE LIPS-STICK AND FALSE EYELASHES AND WALKS SEDUCTIVELY, FOR WHAT REASON, BUT SHE KNOWS HOW TO DRESS TO RAISE THE EVIL BALCK CAT OF FORNICATION OR ADULTERY IN A MAN’S HEART AND IF SHE GETS THE EVIL BLACK CAT OF FORNICATION OR ADULTERY TO ESCAPE SHE GETS PAID. AND IF SHE FURTHER FLATTERS WITH HER SPEECH SHE MAY GET A LARGE TIP. KING SOLOMON WRITES: Proverbs 7: 13] So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said unto him, [14] I have peace offerings with me; this day have I payed my vows. [15] Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee. [16] I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt. [17] I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. [18] Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves. [19] For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey: [20] He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed. [21] With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him. [22] He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks; [23] Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life. SO IF EVERY PROSTITUTE UNDERSTANDS THE NATURE OF A MAN THAT HE HAS FORNICATION AND ADULTERY IN HIS HEART AND SHE ALSO KNOWS HOW TO GET THE EVIL BLACK CAT OF FORNICATION TO ESCAPE IN HER HEART TO MAKE A LIVING. THEN IT IS SAFE TO SAY THAT IT IS SELF EVIDENT TRUTH THAT WE ALL KNOW WE ARE FORNICATORS AND ADULTERERS BY NATURE. SO IF SOME MEN STILL REFUSE TO ADMIT WE ARE FORNICATORS BY NATURE WE ASK OURSELVES DO WE HAVE TO RESIST LOOKING AT A WOMAN WHO IS SCANTILY CLAD OR WEARING FIGURING HUGGING ATTIRE AND ASK THE WOMAN IF SHE HAS TO RESIST PUTTING ON THAT CLOTHING BECAUSE SHE KNOWS SHE US TEMPTING THE MAN TO HAVE TO RESIST. THE POINT IS WE ALL KNOW THIS IS TRUE AND IF SOMEONE DENIES IT WE KNOW THAT THE PERSON IS LYING OR MORE IMPORTANTLY IS LYING TO HIM OR HERSELF. THUS WE AS AMERICANS ALL KNOW WE ARE FORNICATORS AND ADULTERS BY NATURE. IT IS A SELF EVIDENT TRUTH 9: ARE WE ALL AS AMERICANS THIEVES BY NATURE? YES OR NO. IF SOMEONE DENIES BEING A THIEF BY NATURE DOES THE THOUGHT OF GOING AROUND THE SCANNER EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE OR THE THOUGHT THAT SOMEONE ELSE WOULD GO AROUND THE SCANNER ENTERS OUR MIND PROVES WE ARE THIEVES BY NATURE. AND WE COULD GO ON AND ON. ​IF WE LIARS BY NATURE CAN WE BE ADMITTED INTO HEAVEN?

    CONVERSION AND REPENTANCE BY GEORGE WHITEFIELD

    The George Whitfield sermons are worth listening to many times over, this one especially entitled: Repentance and Conversion. Many people believe that George Whitfield was completely extemporaneous, but he wasn’t. His sermons were typically meticulously written out with each word perfectly placed Benjamin Franklin would print his sermons. Not only was each word perfectly chosen by George Whitfield, but each paragraph most of the time has a golden nugget in it. Many times a verse or a part of a verse that he doesn’t say is a verse, he puts into the sentences and those of us that have read Bible s recognize those scripture in his sentence. A lot of us will recognize those sentences to be part of a verse and then he has a theme that runs through that particular sermon and he tells you what the theme is going to be. It is much like some of our better written movies for example, take the movie Patriot, there are certain things like the north star is placed throughout the movie; that my sins will revisit me is throughout the movie; moral rectitude of the cause is throughout the movie, that it was the cause of the revolutionary war that they were fighting for, that was the motivating factor they hung unto, for it was a just cause. The same is true, in a more recent movie, entitled, All the Light We Cannot See. In this movie as well as the the movie, Braveheart by Randall Wallace, they were in the making for about 10 years, but what made them good were the themes carried throughout the movie and the perfectly placed words throughout. George Whitfield is completely on the spiritual side of things but he uses a lot of those same principles to make his sermons powerful. George WHITEFIELD knew he was speaking to dead fish and dead fish can’t hear as they are floating downstream to the falls of perdition. George WHITEFIELD knew as did Paul that preaching the true gospel, is foolishness, for the dead fish can’t make himself born again, and neither can Paul nor George WHITEFIELD make a dead fish a live fish, for both the hearer and the preacher are 100% dependent on the supernatural intervention of Jesus, yet they are exhorting the dead fish to believe when the dead fish cannot hear no more than Lazarus could hear that Jesus say, Come Forth, until Jesus first made him Alive. So the point is, if George WHITEFIELD is a little over your head, it’s worth listening to those sermons 5-7 times maybe even 10 times and each time you will begin to understand more what he is saying and how he makes Predestination doctrine come alive and not a dead Calvinism.

    THE FAMILY PT. 1:THE WOMAN WE AS MEN SHOULD NOT CHOOSE, FOR GOD’S WIFE FOR MEN IS MIRACULOUS

    If the destruction of the family in America does not terrify John Q public of America, it should, for the family is the building block of our American nation. The family is a mini nation. It is the first government that our children will know and when that government fails, it’s a blow to our children. It’s a blow to our nation. Each divorce is a critical blow to the country and we as John Q public of America must ask ourselves, how is it that from 1620 to 1860 that the divorce rate was less than 5% and answer to that question is because the laws were such that in order to get a divorce it was very hard to get that divorce, which is the way it should be because none of us Americans want to see families self-destruct. It’s a mini nation !!! We don’t want to see America self-destruct, for the family is the bedrock of America. It is the building block of America so we should change the laws back to what they were in order to protect the family and if couples know that it is very difficult to get out of a marriage, they will be more careful in who they marry and they will call on God more readily to get them the right mate. Living together was forbidden, in early America because living together is condemned in the Bible for fornication is condemned. In 1860, at the time of Abraham Lincoln, the divorce rate was about 3%. The divorce rate was getting close to 10% and by the 1920s it was into the 20% by 1985. It was over 50% Reagan in 1969, I believe, signed into law the no fault divorce and he said it was the worst mistake that he ever made. For the laws have to be such that they protect the family, and that each mini nation will work out whatever problems they have except for extreme cases, and our laws must make it such that it is very difficult to get out of the marriage for our children want and desire to have their own parents and so in this message we begin with the Genesis of the family and what is the genesis of the Genesis of the family, but it is for the husband or the future husband, that is, to choose a wife that is going to be his help meet or help mate, for the husband is the leader of the family. Eve was made out of the rib of man. If Eve was to be equal with Adam, she would’ve been made out of the dust of the ground. The wife is to be the help mate of the husband and not vice versa and the husband is to be the breadwinner. The women today have the majority in the college which means they’ll probably will be getting the better jobs which means that they will earn more money and then become the bread winner and the man becomes the help mate with the part time job. It is God that must put the two couples together this message emphasizes who not to marry, and we talk about several different characters in the Word of God who ended up in an adulterous affairs, and we also speak about parents who did not control their child who had the strong Will who normally is the future leader maybe they even the country and how if that child is not disciplined, can bring shame not only to the family but to the country especially the country, if our leaders have children that are out of control and so hopefully this message will help us to have more clarity on how to choose a wife and how to be very very careful of getting involved in fornication or adulterous affairs. Hopefully this message will make us American men much more aware of how critical it is that we go to God to find the perfect mate for ourselves.
