There are many of you here tonight. You look like a Christian you act like a Christian in many ways but deep inside
There's no abiding in Christ
the moment you receive christ the moment you put your whole weight on Christ the spirit of God comes to live within you and
He lives through you and in you and he lives the Christian life through you
When you come to Jesus christ you not only accept him as savior
But you accept him as lord the Lord Jesus Christ
He must be lord of your eyes lord of your ears lord of your tongue
Lord of your hands lord of your feet lord of your pocketbook lord of your bank account. Lord of your family
He's first in every area of your life
is he in yours are you among the branches that need to be cut off and
He said that he cuts them off he prunes them back, and they're thrown into the fire
Jesus Withdrew himself into solitary places to meet God, and we must do the same thing
We must keep contact with him every day it must be constant and deliberate never a day when we do not sense his presence
And without this abiding you cannot do anything that will be spiritually pleasing to God without me
You can't bear supernatural fruit, but with him I can love that fellow over there that normally I wouldn't love
Now you can't change your past
But you can determine your destiny by deciding for Christ
but Christ can change your past
He died on the cross so [that] all the sins you've ever committed all the things you've ever done wrong are forgiven
What do you have to do?
You have to repent of your sins that
[means] to be willing to change your way of living you may have no power to do it
But if you surrender [to] christ he'll give you the power
Jesus Christ said I am the way come to christ
He will give you a new strength and a new power and a new joy and a new peace and a purpose for living
Every person [that] ever lived has to make the same [choice]
it's either the world and its pleasures and
It's [gods]
Or its christ
Which is it for you? [oh]?
Yes, there's pleasure and sin for a short time
But it's soon over the hangover comes
And there's nothing you can do about it choose christ
and they'll never be a hangover except joy and Peace and
It's an urgent decision because to delay makes the right Decision harder
Indecision in itself is a choice if you have [a] ticket for flight to [Atlanta] tonight
And can't decide whether to go or not if you wait past the departure time the choice will have been made
The plane will take off without you
Time decides if you will not and time always decides against you
There's a lonely arena and the depths of your heart where the greatest battle of life must be fought alone
That's your decision about christ your parents
Can't make it for you the church can't make it for you your friends
Can't make it for you your girlfriend your boyfriend can't make it for you. You have to make it yourself and
Your decision yes, or no will decide where you'll be a hundred years from now, I?
Believe that none of you are here by accident
[I] believe that you're here on this particular night because this is the night that you are to meet God in a new way and
Receive him into your heart if you're not sure that you're ready to meet God
If you're not sure you're going [to] heaven and you're not sure that your sins are forgiven [you]
[come] in making Lord and savior of your life
What must I do to have eternal life?
The greatest problem in the world today is sin. What causes people to hate and lust and have greed
It's sin
It's a disease that we all have the bible says all have sinned and come short of the glory of God
you've missed the mark you've broken the law on your way to spiritual death and eternal death and
to judgment
but Jesus said I
Can do something about that I?
Can change your life [I] can make you a new person?
Jesus
Demanded that we make a choice
He says there are two roads of life the broad road in the Narrow Road, and you must choose
[their] two destinies Heaven and hell, which road are you on which master you serve?
I don't have to be judged. I don't have to go to hell. I don't have to be lost my soul has been redeemed
I'm going to heaven
But I've got to first repent of my sin and receive christ as my Lord and my savior
You have to repent of your sins that
[means] to be willing to change your way of living you may have no power to do it
But [if] you surrender [to] christ he'll give you the power
How many of you here tonight up broken?
Fed up, but you don't know what to do
You give your life to christ tonight, and you will have supernatural help in
breaking those chains that bind you
God's not waiting to judge you
God's not waiting to condemn you
He's waiting to receive you with mercy with love with open arms and forgive all your sins
you know [there] only comes a few times in our lives when Jesus of Nazareth passes by and we
[have] an opportunity like we have tonight [to] receive it you may never have a tomorrow as far [as] God is concerned
There are people here tonight that may never be alive tomorrow
You may never hear the gospel again like this or your heart may not be this Tender Toward. God
come while you can and
Don't put it off
God is waiting to welcome you with open arms to receive you as you come to him in repentance and Faith
Simple and yet could be life-changing tonight and all of heaven will rejoice
