MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN BY BRINGING BACK THE CHRISTIAN DOCTRINE OF EARLY AMERICA: GEORGE WHITEFIELD

MARKS OF A TRUE CHRISTIAN:I, GEORGE WHITEFIELD shall endeavor to show you, what we are to understand by our Lord's saying, “Except ye be converted and become as little children.” But I think, before I speak to this point, it may be proper to premise one or two particulars.

1. I think, that the words plainly imply, that before you or I can have any well-grounded, scriptural hope, of being happy in a future state, there must be some great, some notable, and amazing change pass upon our souls. I believe, there is not one adult person in the congregation, but will readily confess, that a great change hath past upon their bodies, since they came first into the world, and were infants dandled upon their mother's knees. It is true, ye have no more members than ye had then, but how are these altered! Though you are in one respect the same ye were, for the number of your limbs, and as to the shape of your body, yet if a person that knew you when ye were in your cradle, had been absent from you for some years, and saw you when grown up, then thousand to one if he would know you at all, ye are so altered, so different from what ye were, when ye were little ones. And as the words plainly imply, that there has a great change past upon our bodies since we were children, so before we can go to heaven, there must as great a change pass upon our souls. Our souls considered in a physical sense are still the same, there is to be no philosophical change wrought on them. But then, as for our temper, habit and conduct, we must be so changed and altered, that those who knew us the other day, when in a state of sin, and before we knew Christ, and are acquainted with us now, must see such an alteration, that they may stand as much amazed at it, as a person at the alteration wrought on any person he has not seen for twenty years from his infancy.

2. But I think it proper to premise something farther, because this text is the grand strong-hold of Arminians, and others. They learn of the devil to bring texts to propagate bad principles: when the devil had a mind to tempt Jesus Christ, because Christ quoted scripture, therefore Satan did so too. And such persons, that their doctrine and bad principles may go down the better, would fain persuade unwary and unstable souls, that they are founded upon the word of God. Though the doctrine of original sin, is a doctrine written in such legible characters in the word of God, that he who runs may read it; and though, I think, everything without us, and everything within us, plainly proclaims that we are fallen creatures; though the very heathens, who had no other light, but the dim light of unassisted reason, complained of this, for they felt the wound, and discovered the disease, but were ignorant of the cause of it; yet there are too many persons of those who have been baptized in the name of Christ, that dare to speak against the doctrine of original sin, and are angry with those ill-natured ministers, who paint man in such black colors. Say they, “It cannot be that children come into the world with the guild of Adam's sin lying upon them.” Why? Desire them to prove it from Scripture, and they will urge this very text, our Lord tells us, “Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.” Now their argument runs thus, “It is implied in the words of the text, that little children are innocent, and that they come into the world like a mere blank piece of white paper, otherwise our Lord must argue absurdly, for he could never pretend to say, that we must be converted, and be made like wicked creatures; that would be no conversion.” But, my dear friends, this is to make Jesus Christ speak what he never intended, and what cannot be deduced from his words. That little children are guilty, I mean, that they are conceived and born in sin, is plain from the whole tenor of the book of God. David was a man after God's own heart, yet, says he, “I was conceived in sin.”

OUR SPIRITUAL MARRIAGE TO CHRIST IS THE MOST WONDERFUL MOMENT OF OUR LIVES, NEVER TO BE FORGOTTEN, A LOVE UNENDING. ROM. 7: [4] Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be MARRIED to another, even to HIM who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God. HOW MANY OF US NATURAL MAN AMERICANS EVEN KNOW THAT WITHOUT POSSESSING THE WEDDING GARMENT, WE WILL BE BANNED FROM HEAVEN AND ON OUR WAY TO HELL? IF OBTAINING THE WEDDING GARMENT IS AN ABSOLUTE NECESSITY TO BE SAVED, WHY HAVE OUR FAST FOOD FREEWILL THEOLOGIANS NOT PUT IT ON THE FROMT BURNER: FIND OUT IN THIS MESSAGE!!!!

HAVE WE CROSSED GOD’S IMAGINARY LINE AS AMERICAN’S FOR ENDORSING SEXUAL DEVIANCY? IF NOT, HOW DO WE ESCAPE GOD’S INEVITABLE WRATH UPON US? GOD IS THE OWNER OF THE LANDS OF THIS EARTH AND HE PAYS CLOSE ATTENTION, TO ESPECIALLY US AMERICANS, WHO WERE MADE BY HIM A GREAT PEOPLE BECAUSE OUR FOUNDING FATHERS PUT THE PRINCIPLES OF TRUE CHRISTIANITY TO WORK IN OUR PULPITS, SCHOOLS, AND POLITICAL INSTITUTIONS: BUT WHY AT THE PRESENT TIME, HAVE OUR POLITICAL INSTITUTIONS, AS WELL AS OUR SCHOOLS BECOME SECULAR? ANSWER: OUR PULPITS HAVE EMBRACED THE FICTION OF THE FREEWILL DOCTRINE, AS OPPOSED TO THE BONDAGE OF THE WILL DOCTRINE OUR FOUNDING FATHERS EMBRACED. GOD IS NOT PLEASED WITH A FAKE JESUS BEING DOMINANT FOR BY THE TRICKLE DOWN EFFECT IT PRODUCES AN IMMORAL PEOPLE AND GIVES THE NECESSARY FOOT IN THE DOOR FOR TYRANNY TO FIND A FOOTHOLD. “ It IS IN the INTEREST of TYRANTS to REDUCE the PEOPLE

to IGNORANCE and VICE:

For THEY(TYRANTS) CANNOT LIVE in any COUNTRY

where

VIRTUE and KNOWLEDGE PREVAIL."

Samuel Adams

AND ANOTHER EXHORTATION BY SAMUEL ADAMS:

“If VIRTUE & KNOWLEDGE

are diffused among the people,

they will never be enslav'd.

THIS(VIRTUE & KNOWLEDGE) will be their GREAT SECURITY. “This constitution is written for a religious and moral people. It is wholly inadequate for the government of any other.” John Adams. PSALM 24: [1] The EARTH is the LORD's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. [8] Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.

[9] Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

[10] Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts(JESUS) he is the King of glory. Selah. PSALM 50: [10] For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.

[11] I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine. [12] If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the WORLD is MINE, and the fulness thereof. [18] When thou sawest a THIEF, then thou CONSENTEDEST with him, and hast been PARTAKERS with ADULTERERS.

[19] Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.

[20] Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother's son.

[21] These things hast thou DONE, and I KEPT SILENCE; thou THOUGHTEST that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will REPROVE THEE, and set them in order before thine eyes.

[22] Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I TEAR you in PIECES, and there be none to deliver.

[23] Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.

GEORGE WHITEFIELD AT HIS BEST IN THIS SERMON GIVES US HIS OUTLINE OF HIS SERMON. 1. Endeavor to show, what must pass between Jesus Christ and our souls before we can say, “that our Maker is our husband.”

II. The duties of love which they owe to our Lord, who stand in so near a relation to him,

III. The miserable condition of such as cannot yet say “their Maker is their husband.” And IV. I shall conclude with a general exhortation to all such unhappy souls, to come and match

with the dear Lord Jesus. And O! may that God who blessed Abraham's servant, when he went out to seek a wife for his son Isaac, bless me, even me also, now I am come, I trust, relying on divine strength, to invite poor sinners, and recall backsliders, to my Master Jesus!

IN THIS MESSAGE WE WILL ANSWER THE QUESTION: WHY WAS JESUS’ FATHER ABLE TO LEGALLY RAUSE JESUS FROM THE DEAD AND HOW THE ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY TO BE BELIEVED BY FAITH IN ORDER TO BE SAVED.

NONE OF US AMERICANS KNOW WHETHER OR NOT WE ARE ONE OF GOD THE FATHER’S ELECT THAT HE HAS SENT HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON TO SEARCH FOR AND FIND AND TO LOSE NONE. WE AS NATURAL MAN AMERICANS ON THE OTHER HAND ARE TO DO AS JESUS COMMANDS US TO DO EVEN THOUGH THE OUTCOME IS PREDETERMINED. . Luke.18

[1] And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;

[2] Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:

[3] And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.

[4] And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;

[5] Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.

[6] And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.

[7] And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?

[8] I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

WHEN JESUS FINDS HIS ELECT AND MAKES THEM A NEW CREATION, IT IS NOTHING LIKE THE MAMBY PAMBY BORING CONVERSION OF OUR FREEWILL FRIENDS, BUT IT IS AN EXPERIENCE OF A LOVE AND JOY UNSPEAKABLE AND UNMATCHED BY ANY HUMAN LOVE. 1 PETER 1: [8] Whom having NOT SEEN, YE LOVE; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, YE REJOICE with JOY UNSPEAKABLE and full of glory:

[9] Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. FORMER MR. MORALITY EXPRESSES THIS PERSONALIZED LOVE THAT COMES FROM THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST THAT DWELLS IN THE ELECT: Rom. 8: [31] What shall we then say to these things? If God be FOR US? WHO can be against us?

[33] WHO SHALL lay any thing to the charge of GOD’S ELECT? It is GOD that JUSTIFIETH.

[34] Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for US(ELECT)

[35] WHO shall SEPARATE US from the LOVE of Christ? SHALL TRIBULATION, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

[36] As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

[37] Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

[38] For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

[39] Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to SEPARATE US from the LOVE of God, which “IS IN” Christ Jesus our Lord. THIS LOVE, BY FAR, IS UNEQUALLED BY ANY HUMAN LOVE, AND IT BEGINS AT THE MOMENT JESUS LITERALLY INTERVENES IN OUR LIFE AND REVEALS HIMSELF TO US BY MAKING US A NEW CREATION, WITHOUT ONE IOTA OF HELP FROM US, IN FACT, WITH THE NEW CREATION EXPERIENCE COMES CHRIST’S FAITH AS A GIFT ENABLING US TO BELIEVE. THIS MAGNANIMOUS CONVERSION IS WORTH WAITING FOR AND WE SHOULD NOT ALLOW OUR FASTFOOD FREEWILL FRIENDS TO CONVINCE US TO HAVE A DAMNABLE SPIRITUAL ABORTION BEFORE OUR SPIRITUAL NINE MONTHS IS COMPLETED WHICH CAN BE MINUTES TO YEARS AWAY BEFORE OUR TRUE SPIRITUAL BIRTH COMES TO FRUITION.

GEORGE WHITEFIELD GIVES TWO MEANINGS OF THE WORD RIGHTEOUSNESS: THE TYPE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS WE NEED TO GO TO HEAVEN AND THE MORAL RIGHTEOUSNESS WE NEED AS A NATION. THE TYPE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS WE NEED TO GO TO HEAVEN WAS NEEDED BY ADAM, EVE, AND ABEL AS WELL AS ALL GOD’S ELECT. NONE OF US AMERICAN’S KNOW WHETHER WE ARE OF GOD’S ELECT, THUS IT IS OF GREATEST IMPORTANCE THAT ALL OF US AMERICANS AGONIZE TO CALL ON GOD FOR MERCY THAT HE MIGHT IMPUTE THIS RIGHTEOUSNESS TO US. “Come, dear souls, in all your rags; come, thou poor man; come, thou poor, distressed woman; you, who think God will never forgive you, and that your sins are too great to be forgiven;

come, thou doubting creature, who art afraid thou wilt never get comfort; arise, take comfort, the Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of life, the Lord of glory, calls for thee: through his righteousness there is hope for the chief of sinners, for the worst of creatures. What if thou hadst committed all the sins in the world? What if thou hadst committed the sins of a thousand, what if thou hadst committed the sins of a million of worlds? Christ's righteousness will cover,

the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ will cleanse, thee from the guilt of them all. O let not one poor soul stand at a distance from the Savior. My dear friends, could my voice hold out, was my strength equal to my will, I would wrestle with you; I would strive with arguments, till you came and washed in this blood of the Lamb; till you came and accepted of this everlasting righteousness. O come, come! Now, since it is brought into the world by Christ,

so in the name, in the strength, and by the assistance of the great God, I bring it now to the pulpit; I now offer this righteousness, this free, this imputed, this everlasting righteousness to all poor sinners that will accept of it. For God's sake accept it this night.”

THE NEW CREATION IS TOTALLY MISUNDERSTOOD BY OUR FASTFOOD FREEWILL FRIENDS FOR THE SPIRITUAL FAITH IS PARADOXICAL IN NATURE, FOR THE NEW CREATION IS PARDOXICAL IN NATURE AND THEY TWIST AND FLATLINE VERSES WHICH APPEAR CONTRADICTORY BUT ARE INSTEAD PARADOXICAL. LISTEN TO THIS MESSAGE TO COME TO A COMPLETE UNDERSTANDING OF TWO CONTRADICTORY APPEARING VERSES LIKE THE FOLLOWING: 1JN. 3: [9] Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

1Jn. 1: [8] If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

SO BOTH OF THESE VERSES ARE TRUE, BECAUSE THEY ARE WRITTEN IN GOD’S WORD, BUT HOW?

ANOTHER SERMOM BY GEORGE WHITEFIELD, ENTITLED: SAUL’S CONVERSION. SAUL WAS A YOUNG ZEALOUS, WELL EDUCATED UPSTART, PHARISEE, WHO VEHEMENTLY PERSECUTED THE CHURCH. IN HIS OWN WORDS THIS IS HOW HE DESCRIBES IT: GAL. 1: [13] For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:

[14] And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.

[15] But when it PLEASED GOD who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,

[16] To REVEAL his Son IN ME, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood. NOW THE QUESTION IS: WHEN GOD CONVERTS A SINNER IN AMERICA TODAY, WILL WE MAKE A 180 DEGREE TURN IN OUR LIFE AS SAUL DID, OR DO WE DOWNPLAY SAUL’S CONVERSION AS A SPECIAL CASE AS OUR FASTFOOD FREEWILL FRIENDS TEND TO DO, OR DO WE EXPECT AND HOPE THAT SAUL’S CONVERSION IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE CONVERSION THAT ALL OUR LORD’S ELECT EXPERIENCE? DO WE NOT DESIRE TO WAIT ON CHRIST, TO DO SUCH A MIRACULOUS CONVERSION IN OUR LIVES SUCH THAT IT WILL BE SO MAGNANIMOUS, THAT THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT WE HAVE BEEN TRANSLATED FROM COMPLETE SPIRITUAL DARKNESS INTO COMPLETE SPIRITUAL LIGHT: THE GREATEST EXPERIENCE OF OUR LIFE? IF JESUS CHOSE 4 IGNORANT FISHERMEN AND A TAX COLLECTOR TO BE LEADERS OF HIS DISCIPLES IN ORDER TO CONFOUND THE EDUCATED PHARISEES, CANNOT HE CHOOSE US COMMON AMERICANS TO IGNITE A BONDAGE OF THE WILL AWAKENING IN AMERICA BY INTRODUCING AGAIN IN AMERICA THE DOCTRINE OF SALVATION THAT WAS PREACHED IN AMERICA DURING THE 1600 AND 1700’S? WHATEVER COUNTRY MAKES THE BONDAGE OF THE WILL DOCTRINE OF SALVATION DOMINANT, THAT COUNTRY WILL BE BLESSED BEYOND IMAGINATION.

IN THIS MESSAGE IT WILL BECOME UNDENIABLY CLEAR THAT JESUS, THE APOSTLE PAUL, AND PETER PROCLAIM THAT THE GOD SIDE OF THE GOD-MAN, JESUS, CAN ONLY BE SEEN BY REVELATION. WHAT WAS THE DOMINANT CHURCH DOCTRINE THAT MADE AMERICA GREAT IN THE 1600 & 1700’s?

IT WAS THE DOCTRINE OF ELECTION OR REVELATION & THAT FREEWILL IS A FICTION

Mt. 16: [16] And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the CHRIST, the Son of the LIVING GOD.

[17] And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for

flesh and blood

hath not REVEALED it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

Gal. 1: [11] But

I (THE APOSTLE PAUL)

certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.

[12] For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the REVELATION of Jesus Christ.
