Joy to my soul joy to my soul He brought joy to my soul He brought joy joy to my soul. That's why I praise him. Oh, that is why I. Praise him. Oh, wow. OK. The whole world has been deceived by Satan. I want to use this opportunity to share with you a vision that was a very short vision, A man of God called Lester Sumrall. Have you heard of him before? All right. Well, he was a famous man of God. He died some time ago. He came to Ghana with Benin when Benin came to Ghana for the first time. But he's dead now. But he was dying of tuberculosis when the doctor came and told him that your son will be dead in two hours. He's going to die tonight. And this young boy, he was in bed. You get it? He was 17 years old, you see. And that's what I want to share with you, you know. As he laid there, the doctor left the house and said, you have two, your son will be dead in two hours. He was so thin and just about to die, breathing whatever, and he blinked his eyes and there he saw a coffin. He saw a coffin suspended in mid air, open and leaning towards him like this, coming to take him. And he knew. They said that the inside walls were lined with a white silky material prepared for a body just his size. So he knew the coffin was for him 17 years old. The doctor has told you you are going to be dead in two hours. So when he saw the coffin, he was so frightened he turned his head this way. When he turned his head this way, knew what he saw. He saw the biggest Bible that he had ever seen before. He said it stretched from the ceiling to the ceiling to the floor, huge, with vague letters. And then he said in amazement, he heard God speak. And God said tonight, you choose that coffin or that. Book you choose the. Coffin or the Book? I want you to preach my word or tonight you will die. And you have never, ever thought of being a preacher, that there was no way he wanted to die. And he took God at his word, and he said, Oh God, if the only way in this world for me to live is to preach, then I'll preach. Hallelujah. That's how he was called to the ministry. Lester Samrah. Yeah. You see, many of us don't know that. Actually, that is the only choice some of you have. Some of us have is the coffin of the Bible. Enter the box or hold the book. Yeah. The call of God is very serious. So when you are a wife who hinders your husband from preaching the word through all kinds of machinations, insinuations and manipulations, you are very You don't know that you are hurting your own self. Always be grateful to wives who have allowed their husbands to be ministers. Always be grateful. For example, my wife. Yes. Amen. That's allowed me to be a pastor. Amen. Because I know so many pastors, even our missionaries, some of them are dropped from category C to D because of their marriage. This It doesn't work at all. Yeah. So are you listening to me? Are you still around? He shot the coffin and then he saw the Bible. He said today you would choose either the coffin or the Bible. Today God is asking some of you choose between the coffin or the Bible and whether you like it or not. For some of us, it's only by choosing to preach that you choosing to be a minister that you avoid the coffin. Yeah, that's what Paul said. Well, to me, if I preached on the gospel prophet Kakra many years ago when he finished school in Tech, he said, look, I have to be, I have to preach. I never I never told him to he should be. I told him I encourage you to start the church and all that, which he did. But I never said, oh, you have to this one. If he could sense. You see, when God has called you and you you realize that, look, if you joke with it, you are killing people. Supposing I said I wouldn't preach. Yeah. Yeah, you, you. I wouldn't even know you and you wouldn't even know me. Yeah, So. And there are a lot of people like me who didn't, decided not to preach. So the vision I've had is not really real. It's like I was imagining. I was, I was sort of daydreaming. I was sort of daydreaming. I was sort of dreaming wasn't real. So Lester Sumner had this fantastic vision that he had two visions that he told to people all over the world till he died. And those two visions affected him, you know, which was even more dramatic than the first one. And he told people all over the world till he died about this. He did so many, many things you wouldn't know. He says his eyes were open. All right. He said. One day he was in a schoolhouse in a rural part of Tennessee. How the service began. Joyful praises were rising to the Lord in harmony. Suddenly, the scene in front of Lester Samuel changed dramatically. He was no longer sitting in the school room or aware of anything or anyone around him. With his wives wide open, Lester Samuel saw a great highway filled with all the people of the world. That's why when I as soon as I read that Satan had deceived the whole world, I remembered this vision. So I was just, I was just searching for it to read it to you. Every nation was represented. He saw them dressed in the colorful native costumes of their individual countries. Walking in one stream. I'm sure Ghanaians were wearing our kente. We were all moving, walking in one stream of humanity, Japanese, Chinese, Africans, Europeans, Americans and others all walking quickly along the road together and Lester realized that he was seeing the highway of life in the vision. He rose with the Holy Spirit above the crowded Hwy. He went above the highway and traveled to the end of the highway. What he saw next was fearful and life changing. Before him was a raging, bottomless inferno that looked like a blazing volcano, and the vast procession of people marched to the edge and fell screaming into the eternal flames. And as they neared the pit and saw their fate, they struggled in vain, trying to push back against the unrelenting match of those behind them. And the great surging river of humanity swept over into the abyss. Lester saw the screaming masses tearing their faces and crowing the air as they tried to save themselves from their fate. He saw the world descending into hell. God's words came clearly into Lester's mind and shocked him. This was what God told him when he saw the beast. Listen. Listen to this what I said. You are responsible for those who are lost. The Lord said to him, and he said, me Lord, I don't know these people, I don't know, I don't know them. I'm not to blame. He answered hastily. The lost response to Lester was quick and sure. Once again it was a scripture verse. He said, When I say unto the wicked thus I surely die. And thou giveth them not warning, no speaketh to warn the wicked from his wicked way to save his life. The same wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but his blood will I require at his hand, at your hand protesting his innocence to the Lord. Lester looked down to see an image of blood running through his fingers in the continual flow. God was serious. There were 1,000,000 lost for eternity through the world and Lester Samuel's call from the Lord was to go and tell them the amazing truth of God's Word. As suddenly as it began, the vision ended, and Lester was sitting all alone in the old dark schoolhouse. How long have you been there, watching humanity plunge into the flames of hell? Everyone had quietly left him to the meeting. Everyone had gone. They had taken the lanterns and everyone had left. He was there sitting alone, he said. I asked for forgiveness for not loving the lost and the least of this world, and he declared and pleaded to God to forgive him for not loving those around him who were lost and dying. This is a vision, you see. Most people have few visions. You may say that I was just a little boy when I had this vision, but it is that vision which guided him all through his life where he saw the people there like this marching and then God took him above. You see all the people were here to to the end of the staircase and showed him where they were all rushing and they all fall down into it all went to fire screaming. 1 After all thousands, this was happening and he said you are to blame, you have to blame. There is only one important thing to do in this world is to live and work to save the lost whom Christ Jesus came to die for. Oh yes, I can't give you any better job than this job. Hallelujah. Is it a fantastic vision? It's an amazing vision and as soon as I said the whole he has deceived and that great dragon which deceived the whole world. Deceived who? The whole world deceived by the dragon Satan is Wikidou Adam. And if they cried, they came out of the garden. You should have heard them crying. But Adam and Eve cried for having come out of the garden, which was their first home. And indeed, when Adam looked at his flesh, he saw that it was altered, and he cried bitterly. He and Eve cried over what they had done. They walked and went gently to The Cave of treasures, and as they came to it, Adam cried over himself and said, Eve, look at this cave that is to be our prison in this world and a place of punishment. What is it compared to the garden? What is this its narrowness compared to the space that we had? What is this rock compared to those Groves? What is the gloom of this cavern compared with the light of the garden? What is this overhanging leg of rock that shelters has compared with the mercy of the Lord that overshadowed us? What is the soil of this cave compared to the garden land that this earth scattered with stones compared to the garden planted with delicious fruit trees? Adam said to him, Look at your eyes and my eyes with before beheld angels praising in heaven without seizing. Now we not see as we did, our eyes have become open, they can't see like they used to see before. Adam said to him. What is our body today compared to what it was in former days when we were in the garden? After this, Adam did not want to enter into The Cave under the overhanging rock. He never wanted to enter it again. He bowed to God commands. Hey Carla. It's not easy to be deceived, though. Satan brought them out. I tell you. We deceived them and brought them out. Come out. Hey, somewhere. How many realize there is really somewhere? We used to see angels. How this is like now? Yes. And you can't see anything. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. It's too bad. That's why I say look, when I tell you take it from me, no matter your education, take it. I thank God I've also been to school. There is nothing better or higher than to give yourself and for this eternal gospel to let people know God and to bring as many people as depend on on on your life to know Jesus Christ as the Savior of the world. I'm telling you, the wisdom of this was yes, get this, get that, do this. I'm 50, whatever years old now. I've seen people, yes, have gone back. What do they have? Where have they? Have they got it? How many of my own passes I have, more than 1500 passes can even take $1000 to give to me and say Bishop take it for a crusade do I have After all that they have been searching for? How many are blessed enough to take just 1000 and say take it after years of following, following, following. Wow. Then Adam and Eve entered The Cave and they stood praying in their own tongue and they prayed. And as they prayed, Adam raised his eyes and saw the rock that covered him overhead. This prevented him from seeming heaven or God's preachers. So he cried and beat his chest out until he dropped and was as dead. And Eve started crying, for she believed he was dead. And she got up and spread her hands towards God, appealing to him for mercy and pity. Oh God, forgive me my sin, the sin which I committed, and don't remember it against me. For I alone caused your servants to fall from the garden into this on damn land, from light into this darkness, from the House of joy, into this prison. You are now confessing these things. You see, that's why I'm teaching you that when you are the head of the house, be sure that you are the head. Don't follow these crying and things. Look at what you are now praying. Look at what you are now praying. Oh God, look at this yourself. I'm falling in this manner. Bring him back to life, that he may cry and repent of his transgressions which he committed through because of me. Don't take away his soul at this time, but let him believe that he may stand after the measure of repentance. But if you don't bring him to light, then God take away my own soul, so that I'll be like Him and leave me not in this dungeon alone. But I could not stand alone in this world without Him. For you, you constantly fall asleep, and took a bone from his side and placed the flesh in in his place by Your divine power. And you took me the moon, and made me a woman bright like Him, with heart, reason, speech, flesh to His own. You made me after the likeness of his look, by Your mercy and power. Oh Lord, I am here. 1 You, O God, our Creator, You and He made us in both, as in one day. Therefore God give Him life, that He may be with me in this strange land while we live in it due to our transgression. But if you don't give Him life, then take me even like Him. Both die on the same day. And Eve cried bitterly and fell on our father Adam because of her great sorrow. Our God looked at them, for they had killed themselves through great grief and decided to raise them and cover them. And he said this, whether they should stand and be raised immediately. And the Lord said to Adam, You transgressed out of your own free will. Of your own free will. Have you transgressed through your desire for divinity and greatness, and an exalted state such as I have? Therefore I deprived you of the bright nature which you have done, and I made you come out of the garden to this land rough and full of trouble. If only you had not transgressed my commandment. And I kept my law. And I've not eaten the fruit of the tree. I told you not to come here, and there were fruit trees in the garden better than that one. But the wicked Satan did not keep his faith, and had no good intent towards me. And although I created him, he considered me to be useless, and he saw that God had for himself. For this I held him out of heaven, that he should not remain in his first estate. It was He who made the tree appear pleasant to your eyes, until you earth of it, believing His words. That's how you transgress my commandment. Therefore I've brought on you all these sorrows, Why? I'm God the Creator. When I created my creatures, I did not intend to destroy them, but after they had greatly roused my anger, I punished them. Thalia, Adrian. It's getting. More difficult. A serious hope. God help us all. You see, Satan is deceiving the world, and the Church also wants to believe their deceptions. Even the church you see, we are. Worldly. The world is affecting. Us. It's affecting our flow. Wow. OK, we. Must end so that we can have lunch as lunch arrived. No, this is a ripe. Oh, good, good. News for modern. Man. How many are hungry? Oh. Nobody's hungry. Oh. Good. I thought you were. Hungry. When I asked you, you said, Oh no, just hey, how many? Points do you have #12? The people of the. World are influenced by the spirit of the world. There's another spirit called the spirit of the world. Apart from the God of this world and the Prince of the power of the air. There's another spirit called the Spirit of this World, or Spirit of the World first. Corinthians, chapter 2. Verse 12 The people of the world are influenced by the spirit of the world, and the people of God are influenced by the Spirit of God. 1st Corinthians 2 verse. 12 Before lunch. These are the vessels that are coming before lunch. Now we have perceived not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God, that we might know the things which are freely given to us of God. We have received not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God. So the spirit of the world is completely different from the Spirit of God is like the opposite. So when a person is anointed, you either become anointed or spiritual or you become wealthily. Wow, is it amazing, fantastic. So. Do you have the? Spirit of the world on you, brother, Prince of the power of the air, God of this world, when you will marry an unbeliever. Since his father is the. Devil your. Father-in-law is. The Devil. And can you sack your? Father-in-law from the House. When your father-in-law. Ask What do you say? Have a seat. So you say Satan? Please sit down. Satan, can I give? You offer you some water. Satan, would you like? To eat some rice. And the last? Point #13 the people of this world consider the things which save people to be foolish, the. Very thing that save. People the the worldly people, the world thinks that it is foolishness. What does the Bible say? God has chosen foolish things of this world to confound the wise. So God, the people of this world consider certain things foolish. OK, It is these very things that God has chosen to save people. That's the. Point. The point has. Two sentences the people of this world consider certain things as foolishness those are the things that God has decided to use to save the world the. World is hot. Oh. It's. Like the world has. To accept something that they see as foolish. Just to help them, yes. What is in the world? What are the three things in the world? Wild what? Wild place, wild people, wild systems. Yeah. Look at First Corinthians. Chapter. Well, it says chapter 27, First Corinthians. I think it's 127. God has chosen the foolish things of the world. To confound. The wise and God has chosen the weak things of the world. To confound the things. Which are mighty and base things of the world. Things which are despised, God has chosen, and things which are not to bring to naughty the things that are Wow, wow. God has chosen weak things. Things which are despised, God has chosen them. Huh. Confuse the world. Wow. Prayer. God has chosen it. Preaching. Look at me, I. Went to a worldly. University called University of Ghana. Yeah, a worldly university. That does worldly topics. They should have given me a degree. And they should have given me a a APHD or ADAD fail by now. I applied. For I applied for. It because I qualify. I'm supposed to I'm. Supposed to have been in the school 10 years after I qualified from the school. And I'm supposed to have written. A book. It's just a book. Yeah, that's. What I'm doing, it looks like foolishness. Yeah, that's why. Our school does not. Want accreditation? Accreditation Our. Bible School we don't. Want accreditation from the world? From a wealthy. Accreditation board or a. Wealthy theological understanding, yeah. Because to them it's. Madness that the fruit is there, the churches are there, the people are there. They don't because God has chosen things that are despised to confound the great things of this world. Yeah, when Ben, he started in the ministry. He was advised he wanted to go to Bible school. Somebody advised him don't go to Bible school, showed him there's the guy who started the ministry with Billy Graham, and he went to a Bible school. When he finished the Bible school, he came and said all these things are not true. Yeah. After going to the Bible school, all the things that we believe are not true. Yeah. Wow. Guy like Billy Graham, he just turned off completely. Yeah. We are not fools, but God has chosen. It looks foolish, it looks like. Nothing. Yeah, that's why it thinks that when they see us around, sometimes it's like about these people, this guy. Oh, what are they doing? God has chosen foolish things and the things which are despised to save the world, to confuse them, if you like. If you don't humble yourself and accept this foolish guy and these foolish things, you would never be saved. Yeah. So you must you. Must know that the world, the world is in trouble and God is God is calling you to save the world. The whole world lies in wickedness, same evil darkness, evil spirits in them. That is why. The Bible says that. Who is he that can overcome this group that are surrounding us? When you wake up, it's in your parents, the House of your sisters, your cousins. They are homosexuals around you. Hey, in school, your classroom, your bank, where you work, everywhere. They are everywhere. Everybody is a liar. Everybody is a thief. Thank God for an opportunity to work. In the House of the Lord. What a blessing. Are you glad that you are in the House of the Lord? Stand to your feet. I'm feeling hungry, Sally. I have to be honest.
