Scripture Reading: Luke 14:26-35; Matthew 6:26-34; Ephesians 5:26-27; Ephesians 6:6-19; 1st Peter 5:5-10; Romans 11:15-21
Brother Freedom opens by sharing a revelation the Lord gave to him: Those who fall backwards in their faith and obedience become more and more invisible, in a manner of speaking, to God Almighty. Yes, God knows and sees all things. Nothing misses HIS infinite eye. But those who do not make HIM number ONE are invisible to HIM as compared to those who are HIS dedicated children.
Salvation is only a beginning point. But the church world too often neglects to teach that there are requirements to staying saved from Hell.
What a person believes is extremely important. It is unfair for the church to get people saved without telling them what the cost of following Christ really is. It is wrong not to reveal that to follow the Lord Jesus Christ means that one must sell out 100 percent to God. Nothing can be held back. Most people are not willing to give that kind of devotion to anyone but themselves!!
Brother Freedom recalls a dream God gave him of millions of dead babies. Freedom thought he was seeing the abortion wickedness, but God said, “No!” The Lord revealed that he was seeing millions of people who were led to Christ, who were not nourished or fed properly by the church. They were not told the whole story and they fell backwards into sin and ended up in eternal death in Hell!
Job, the man who had total devotion for God, kept that total devotion even in the face of unbelievable costs. Job was determined to love God no matter how awful or horrible the test he faced. And that is what God expects. Giving our lives as a living sacrifice is the very least that we can do for the Lord God. Romans 12:1 and 2 reveal that.
Brother Freedom is very suspicious of mass salvations. People need individual help to be birthed into the Kingdom of God. It is true that some folks find God on their own, but most people need to be ministered to and led and fed as they receive Jesus as Savior and King.
We all need mending and healing from Almighty God’s hands on a constant basis.
We need to seek God every step we take.
Brother Freedom explains that without God and without the leadership of the Holy Ghost (or Holy Spirit) we all have the awful ability of achieving NOTHING!
Christians need to count the spiritual cost of following Christ. God the Father, God the Son (Jesus) and God the Holy Ghost must be absolutely FIRST in our lives! Otherwise being a “Christian” is a total waste, and will gain us nothing but death!
Brother Freedom reminds us that the church world is very competitive. They gloat in their preachers, their buildings, their programs, their locations, their membership, their exploits. God is not pleased with competition! Competition is a thing of the world and God hates the inventions of worldliness.
God wants to be your number one teacher above all other teachers. God wants to teach you more than your pastor, more than your Bible teacher, more than your favorite Christian novel. God wants to teach you privately and personally. But the church does not like God doing what they believe is their job. They do not want to be displaced as your primary teacher of all things spiritual.
Brother Freedom recalls how God gave him the fancy suite on the top floor of a Hilton hotel where he prayed and God gave a miracle getting several men home in spite of an airline strike and hurricane David that shut down the eastern part of the nation some years ago.
The anointing of the Holy Ghost upon a person when they are ministering is God’s approval.
God wants HIS name on all holy things we do. God does not want men’s names upon it! All the glory must go to the Lord God.
The Holy Ghost is the only trustworthy interpreter of Holy Scripture! Commentaries will only give you a flat two dimensional understanding at the very best. Word studies of men will not give you what the Holy Ghost can give you. The Holy Spirit is the ONE who encrypted the Word of God and only HE can decode it correctly!
Brother Freedom ends the message by prophesying that something very, very hard and terrible is coming to America because this Nation has become a bad branch that is not in God’s will. Evil branches are pruned from God’s vine. This nation has fallen and fallen hard!
