{sermonindex.net newsletter} TEN INDICTMENTS BY PAUL WASHER (A HISTORICAL 21ST CENTURY MESSAGE)

Paul Washer preached at the Revival Conference event in Atlanta, Georgia tonight with what I believe is to be a historical staggaring message for America.

listening to this tomorrow first thing. I pray it is more powerful than that "SHOCKING YOUTH SERMON SHOCKS 5,000" which we heard on Sermon Index 3-4 years ago...........

I have sent this to six dear believers, this very night (including two pastors who labor and have suffered for it).

God bless you Greg for getting this out immediately.

Sending this tonight was like giving food to those in concentration camps. [b]It can not be done soon enough[/b].

[b]This is not just for correction[/b]. It will encourage called by God pastors and all the true believer sprinkled everywhere that so long for care and encouragement.

This sermon is probably the most thorough synthesis of the issues we have discussed here on SI and have been trying to preach for 5 years all in one message.

The sinners prayer theology is so deeply entrenched in modern evangelicalism and so many ministers have came to Christ through this method, that it is almost impossible to see a change. I have watched the madness for years now in spite of consistently preaching powerfully, with a great sense that God was backing the words of the truth of genuine regeneration and they have greatly withstood the words.

I have been in services where so-called ministers would ask the people to say a 2 minute prayer or less, while a young man stood on the bench and rebuked the preacher for his falsehood as onlookers rebuked the devil and the man was escorted out. None of that has changed the ideology.

There almost has to come a changing of the guard in the US. You will notice that there are not a lot of formal pastors and ministers coming up to take the positions of an aging pastorate in many mainline denominations in America. God is at work bringing things around in His Church. The challenge is to be faithful through this process to continue on preaching the True Gospel without being worn down or becoming bitter because of the circumstances.

From the message:

"Sunday morning is the greatest hour of idolatry in the entire week of America*, because people are not worshiping the One True God, the great mass at least, but worshiping a God formed out of their own thoughts, by their own flesh, satanic devices and wordily intelligence, they made a God just like themselves, and looks more like Santa Clause, than Yahweh." - Paul Washer

[size=x-small]*I would add, not only in America.[/size]

For those of us who listened to what the spirit had to say to the church last night we were destroyed. But this is the nature of such a prophetic word. It first destroys and then builds Read Jeremiah chapter 1. The weight and power of this word still crushes me today and I pray that by Gods grace it never, never leaves me. I believe that before revival takes place we need a personal reformation and Mr Washer provides 10 TEN INDICTMENTS that are not just for corporate reflection but for personal reflection. May you listen to this message may it shake you, may you stand at the base of Mount Sinai as and see the God who Thunders The God who has smoke coming from his nostrils( Psalm 18 and 97 The God who can't be reasoned with nor explained Isaiah 40 and Ezekiel 1 The ineffable GOD. and may the blast of his horn blow calling his people to repentance and holiness and may this happen to us so that we can say as moses did to Gods people of his day

Exodus 20:20

And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not.

Please listen to this message Gaze upon God Look unto him, stand with and in him who is a consuming fire that we may be purged from the dross of iniquity and compromise. Be blessed Dear Saints and Thank you Mr. Greg Gordon for being the man of God you are I bless God for you sir.

This sermon is probably the most thorough synthesis of the issues we have discussed here on SI and have been trying to preach for 5 years all in one message.

Caught the last part, somewhere around the 6th indictment I believe and then had to attend to other matters closer to the end. He spoke of the burly man with more sadness in his eyes then he had ever seen and how they spent [i]hours[/i] going through the scriptures until the [i]man[/i] recognized the truth of John 3:16 for [u]himself[/u], not being prodded or coached along ...

His insistence that we dare not pronounce or tell anyone that they are saved, stuck that same chord and is I agree the same byproduct of Robert mentions here ... It has long been my contention that the newly regenerated would\\should be coming to 'us', to others, to anyone telling of what has happened to them, not the other way around. That they have a testimony, that they get one, seek one, have one ... are one. Then they have the witness within themselves that no one can take from them.

That the church is [i]one[/i] and all that he expounded on ...

The intensity and pathos ... It grabbed me and shook me up pretty good coming home from a long day at work with all the commotion that these responsibilities do - the distractedness of thoughts, where the head is at - It was like a cold bucket of water.

I know that from even grasping only maybe a third of the overall message that this was something different.

Greg, that you already have this up to download ... Dear brother, thank you, thank you from all of us who could not make it out there.

The volume seemed fine while it was live, in fact I had to keep my hand on the volume for those times when his voice got elevated, it was making the speakers crack!

Greetings:

Thank you for posting this wonderful sermon by Paul Washer. I have a question concerning my brother Paul: is he a calvinist? I hope that he is not, but if he is, I still except him as a man of God although I could not say the same for many others. Marantha.

to the best of my knowledge, Brother Paul is a staunch 5-pointer, but loves all men the same as they love Jesus

Greetings:

Thank you for answering my question concerning bro. Paul. What is disturbing about Calvinist is the belief that regeneration preceeds repentance and faith. This is unbiblical. Unless the Holy Spirit first convicts and convinces of sin and brings the reality of our condemnation upon us, so as to bring us to a repentant heart, there can be no regeneration. Repentance toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. Men are free to resist this ministry of the Holy Spirit and remain lost, or they can submit themselves to God in repentance and faith.

Well, the original Arminians (called the Remonstrants) also believed that regeneration preceded repentance and faith, they just said it was resistible. In this sense, I think they are further from Calvinism on what the practical outcome of regeneration means for the man. The Arminians called this pre-repentant grace "prevenient." I personally think they mixed two separate things together. I am with you that regeneration follows repentance and faith, and that the Calvinists have put the cart before the horse. But I also hope you understand that repentance and faith is nothing we have of ourselves. All the glory belongs to God. He creates, reveals, is longsuffering, convicts, has set the propitiation, and is gracious of His own desire to justify, regenerate, sanctify, and glorify men who absolutely hate and despise Him.

What a message for our day! How confirming it was to hear that God is raising up young people around the world that have a longing for the Old Paths! Being 23, and having maybe THREE people (that I know of) in my city who have the same longing, it's so encouraging to hear that God is working and raising up others around the world. Sometimes you feel alone, and it seems like the enemy tries to discourage you in that.

I'm so glad brother Paul mentioned that "the Church is the remnant." That was so clarifying. So when we pray for an awakening, are we praying that God awakens and revives the wheat? Or the tares? Or both? Isn't the true wheat alive? Ay yay yay, I'm still a little confused about this.

Greg, thanks for posting this message dear brother. When we were in Bible college, I thought you were a nut that went off the deep end listening to men like Tozer and Ravenhill, but since the Lord awakened me in April, I have such a love for you and the sermonindex ministry brother...and now I find my iPod filled with nothing but Ravenhill and the others on sermonindex.

I hope you all are blessed, challenged, but also willing to change by brother Paul's message.

This message was the word of the Lord for this hour. We must return to THE BIBLE, KNOWING GOD, THE GOSPEL, REGENERATION, HOW TO PREACH CHRIST, THE NATURE OF THE CHURCH, AND HOW TO LIVE AS CHRISTIANS TOGETHER. Glory to God for raising up saints to declare the truth and praise God for saints who hear and respond to His Word.

Indeed, may God bless the Church!

Brother Paul was the first one that I listened to on SermonIndex and I have been listening and reading ever since . Thank you for this program. My heart has been waiting for this all my life and I accept no other way, but the old paths way of the Lord.

During a break in the conference today, I went to a small women’s group. I shared [b]just one point[/b] from this message after another woman shared about someone who was “saved in the Church” going to college and coming to believe that Christianity was a myth like the many other myths she was leaning about. (Gospel not preached point) 6 of the 7 women leaned forward to hear more. One went ballistic! People were surprised and silent. There was defensiveness by the outraged woman, silence, and we moved on to the subject of our study "the communion of saints". That has never happened to me before. Only open unbelievers, and few of them, have had such a strong reaction.

Per my above post ([b]this is not just for correction[/b]), I saw one of the laboring pastors at a memorial service.(I live in a small town.) He had listened to the message [u]already[/u] and Oh how he preached. Reserved people said Halleluiah! Later he said he kept looking at me because he knew I knew. He was full of Joy. Very encouraging to me. I love this dear old saint.

Don’t much look forward to any pastor going ballistic, though. But I know the Truth in Love is not attack and needs no defense.

Maybe we could share here on response from others who hear this? Much prayer and Divine Love as God leads.

I must say that apart from some theological differences that I may have with Bro. Washer, his message was like the clear sound of a trumpet. I didn't know there were any Baptists around that would lift their voice like this against the present apostasy.
