 RHEMA BIBLE CHURCH IN BROKEN
 ARROW, OKLAHOMA. AND
 NOW HERE ARE YOUR HOSTS
 PASTORS KENNETH AND
 LYNETTE HAGIN.
LYNETTE> HELLO, AND WELCOME
ONCE AGAIN TO RHEMA PRAISE. WE
ARE SO GLAD THAT YOU
HAVE TUNED IN TODAY.
KENNETH> YEAH, AND THIS
MONTH IS A SPECIAL MONTH.
LYNETTE> IT IS A
VERY SPECIAL MONTH.
KENNETH> IT'S, IT'S WINTER
BIBLE SEMINAR MONTH, AND THIS
YEAR IT'S WINTER BIBLE SEMINAR

ALL OVER THE WORLD.
LYNETTE> THAT'S RIGHT.

HAVE A... A EYE-OPENING TO THE
SCRIPTURES ABOUT THAT.
LYNETTE> AND YOU KNOW HONEY,
THE REASON YOUR DAD CAN...
WOULD SPEAK SO FERVENTLY ABOUT

WHY DON'T WE GO WHERE HE'S
TALKING ABOUT THAT RIGHT NOW.
♪ MUSIC ♪
REV. KENNETH E. HAGIN> WE NEED
TO REMEMBER THAT THERE IS AN
ETERNITY. WE NEED TO REMEMBER
THAT THERE IS A HELL TO SHUN
AND A HEAVEN TO GAIN.
(CONGREGATION: "AMEN.")
AMEN.
(CONGREGATION: "AMEN.")
PRAISE GOD. AND WE MAY BE READY
FOR HEAVEN OURSELVES, BUT
THE VAST MAJORITY IN THE WORLD
ARE ON THE ROAD TO HELL. WE
NEED TO ARREST THEM. WE NEED
TO GATHER THEIR ATTENTION.
HALLELUJAH!
(CONGREGATION RESPONDS)
AMEN. AND SO GOD CALLED SOME
OF US, YOU KNOW, TO BE BIBLE
TEACHERS AND TO TEACH, BUT WE
NEED TO REMEMBER THAT ONE OF
THE MINISTRIES IS
AN EVANGELIST. AMEN.
(CONGREGATION: "AMEN.")
AND WE NEED TO REMEMBER THAT
EVEN THOUGH PAUL WROTE TO
TIMOTHY, AND TIMOTHY AT THE TIME
WAS PASTOR OF A CHURCH, YET
HE TOLD HIM TO DO THE
WORK OF AN EVANGELIST.
(CONGREGATION RESPONDS)
AMEN. DO THE WORK OF AN
EVANGELIST. EVERY ONE OF US
SHOULD BE SO, AH, WELL ON FIRE
FOR GOD, PRAISE GOD, AND SO
INTERESTED IN THE LOST THAT YOU
JUST HAVE TO GO TELL TELL 'EM
(CONGREGATION: "AMEN.")
JUST HAVE TO GO TELL 'EM.
PRAISE GOD. SOME FOLKS WONDER
"WELL, I DON'T KNOW WHETHER
GOD CALLED ME TO GO PREACH OR
NOT." WELL, IN ONE SENSE OF THE
WORD HE CALLED ALL OF US TO
TELL THE STORY, TO BE WITNESSES.
BUT ON THE OTHER HAND
THERE IS A CALL UPON US. AMEN.
(CONGREGATION: "AMEN.")
AND, YOU KNOW, WHEN I GOT
BORN-AGAIN ON THE BED OF
SICKNESS WAY BACK IN 1933, AND
THEN AFTER 15 MONTHS, 16 MONTHS
OF BEDFAST WAS HEALED, AND
RAISED UP FROM THE BED. I TELL
YOU I WANTED TO GO AND TELL THE
STORY SO BAD, JUST 17 YEARS OLD.
I'D MEET SOMEBODY ON THE
STREET. AND IN THOSE DAYS, SEE,
DEPRESSION DAYS. WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT 1934, 1935, RIGHT IN
THE MIDDLE OF THE GREAT
DEPRESSION. MEN ARE OUT OF WORK.
I MEAN YOU COULD HAVE A... YOU
COULD HAVE A STREET SERVICE
EVERYDAY. THE STREETS ARE
FULL OF PEOPLE. I'D JUST WALK
UP TO SOMEBODY ON THE STREETS,
YOU KNOW, AND TELL THEM,
"YOU KNOW, I'D KNOW THERE
WAS A HELL IF I DIDN'T HAVE A
BIBLE." THEY'D LOOK AT YOU AND,
"HUH, HUH, WHAT'D YOU SAY?"
I SAID, "I'D KNOW THERE'S A
HELL IF I DIDN'T HAVE A BIBLE."
"WELL, HOW WOULD YOU KNOW?"
I'D SAY, "WELL, RIGHT OVER
HERE..." (SEE, IT'S IN MY
HOMETOWN AND THIS IS UP ON THE
COURTHOUSE SQUARE) I'D
SAY, "...RIGHT OVER HERE AT
405 NORTH COLLEGE STREET..."
NOW IT WAS JUST A FEW...
WHEN I WAS TALKING TO THEM IT
WAS A FEW MONTHS AGO BECAUSE
IT WAS APRIL THE TWENTY-SECOND
NINETEEN HUNDRED AND
THIRTY-THREE. AMEN, THAT WAS
ON A SATURDAY NIGHT, AMEN,
AT SEVEN-THIRTY. NOW, I'D
BEEN SICKLY ALL MY LIFE AND
NEVER REALLY HAD A CHILDHOOD
LIKE OTHERS AND IT BECAME
WORSE. DOCTORS MADE HOUSE
CALLS. THEY'D CALL THE DOCTOR,
BUT HE WAS AT THE HOSPITAL
AND HE WOULD COME AS SOON AS
HE FINISHED AT THE HOSPITAL,
COME TO OUR HOUSE. BUT I'D
GOT WORSE SO THEY CALLED
ANOTHER DOCTOR THAT LIVED ONLY
TWO BLOCKS AWAY, DOCTOR
MATHIS. BUT ANYWAY, AT 7:30,
SATURDAY NIGHT, 22ND DAY OF
APRIL, 1933, JUST AS GRANDPA'S
CLOCK ON THE MANTLE PIECE IN
THIS SOUTH BEDROOM STRUCK 7:30
MY HEART STOPPED. FASTER THAN
I COULD TELL YOU I FELT THE
CIRCULATION CUT OFF WAY DOWN
AT THE END OF MY TOES. IN
OTHER WORDS, MY TOES, MY FEET,
MY KNEES, MY THIGHS JUST...
JUST WENT NUMB AND I LEAPED
OUT OF MY BODY LIKE A DIVER
WOULD LEAP OUT... OR OFF OF A
DIVING BOARD INTO THE SWIMMING
POOL. AND WHEN I LEAPED OUT
OF MY BODY I BEGAN TO DESCEND
FEET FIRST, DESCEND, GO DOWN,
DOWN. I LOOKED BACK UP, I
COULD SEE THE LIGHTS OF THE
EARTH. FINALLY, THEY ALL
VANISHED AWAY. DARKNESS. THE
BIBLE TALKED ABOUT BEING CAST
INTO OUTER DARKNESS WHERE
THERE'S WEEPING, AND WAILING,
AND GNASHING OF TEETH.
DARKNESS ENCOMPASSED ME AROUND
ABOUT; DARKNESS THAT'S BLACKER
THAN ANY NIGHT MAN'S EVER
SEEN. SEEMS THAT IF YOU HAD
A KNIFE YOU'D CUT A CHUNK OF
IT OUT. AND SO I WENT DOWN
THROUGH THE DARKNESS. THE
FURTHER DOWN YOU WENT THE
HOTTER IT GOT. AND FINALLY,
WAY DOWN BENEATH ME I COULD SEE
FINGERS OF LIGHT FLICKERING
ON THE WALL OF DARKNESS. AND
I CAME TO THE BOTTOM OF THE
PIT. AND WHEN I DID I SAW
THE GATES OF HELL. AND I
CONTINUED LIKE A MAGNET PULLS
METAL TO ITSELF. AND I KNEW
ONCE I GO THROUGH THOSE GATES
I CAN'T COME BACK. AND SO I
TRIED TO SLOW MY DESCENT DOWN.
AND THERE WAS A CREATURE,
I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT LOOKED
LIKE, I NEVER DID LOOK AT IT.
MY GAZE AS RIVETED ON THE FIRES
OF HELL; GIANT ORANGE FLAMES
WITH A WHITE CREST. AND, SO
THIS CREATURE TOOK ME BY THE
ARM, THE RIGHT ARM, TO ESCORT
ME IN. AND THANK GOD WHEN HE
DID THERE WAS A VOICE THAT
SPOKE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT HE
SAID - IT WASN'T ENGLISH; WASN'T
ENGLISH. I DON'T KNOW WHAT
HE SAID, BUT IT WAS A MAN'S
VOICE AND WHEN HE SPOKE THAT
WHOLE PLACE SHOOK JUST LIKE
THERE'S AN EARTHQUAKE ON. AND
THERE WAS AN IRRESISTIBLE
PULL TO MY BACK LIKE A MAGNET
DRAWS METAL, AND I JUST BEGAN
TO FLOAT BACKWARDS. AND THEN
WHEN I GOT BACK HERE THEN I
CAME UP. I CAME UP ON THE
PORCH OUTSIDE. WE HAD ONE OF
THOSE OLD TIME HOUSES LIKE THEY,
YOU KNOW, HAD IN THE SOUTH
IN TEXAS, A PORCH NEARLY ALL
THE WAY AROUND THE HOUSE. I
CAME UP ON THE PORCH ON THE
SOUTH SIDE OF THE HOUSE. I
SAW THE GIANT TREES IN THE
YARD. I CAME RIGHT THROUGH THE
WALL. I SAW MY GRANDMOTHER
AS SHE HELD ME IN HER ARMS.
I SEEMED TO LEAP INSIDE MY
BODY. WHEN I GOT INSIDE MY BODY
THEN I SAID TO MY GRANDMOTHER,
"I'M GOING AGAIN." I DON'T
KNOW HOW I KNEW THAT, BUT I
SAID, "I'M GOING AGAIN." AND
THEN I SAID, "TELL MAMA I SAID
GOODBYE." I SAID, "WHERE IS
MAMA." AND SHE SAID, "WELL,
I TOLD HER YOU WAS GONE. I
TOLD HER YOU WAS DEAD." AND
SHE RUSHED OUT ON THE PORCH
PRAYING. I HEARD HER THEN AS
SHE CAME AROUND THAT PORCH
TO THE SOUTH PRAYING AT THE
TOP OF HER VOICE. SO I SAID,
"WELL..." AND SO I SAID...
GRANNY SAID, "I'LL
GO GET HER."
AND GRANNY GOT UP TO GO AND
I SAID, "NO, NO, NO..." I TELL
YOU, WHEN YOU GET DOWN TO THE
END OF IT YOU WANT SOMEBODY
WITH YOU ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE
NOT SAVED. YOU WANT SOMEBODY.
THANK GOD WE HAVE SOMEBODY.
(CONGREGATION: "AMEN.")
GLORY TO GOD, AMEN. AND SO I
SAID... SHE STARTED TO GO, AND
I SAID, "NO, NO, NO, DON'T
LEAVE ME. DON'T LEAVE ME." AND
SO SHE CALLED OUT, BUT SHE
COULDN'T MAKE MOM HEAR BECAUSE
SHE'S PRAYING SO LOUD. AND
SO I SAID, "YOU TELL HER. YOU
TELL HER FOR ME. TELL MAMA
I SAID GOODBYE. TELL MAMA I
SAID I LOVE HER. TELL MAMA I
SAID I APPRECIATE HER WHEN MY
DADDY LEFT TRYING TO MAKE A
LIVING FOR US FOUR KIDS UNTIL
FINALLY HER HEALTH FAILED."
AND I SAID, "TELL MAMA I SAID
IF I'VE EVER PUT A GRAY HAIR ON
HER HEAD OR A WRINKLE ON HER
FACE THEN I'M SORRY." AMEN.
I SAID, "GRANNY, I'M GOING
AGAIN." I KNEW I WAS. I SAID,
"GOODBYE." I SAID, "YOU'VE
BEEN A SECOND MOTHER TO
ME." I WENT TO LIVE WITH MY
GRANDPARENTS. MAMA HAD COMPLETE
MENTAL, PHYSICAL NERVOUS
BREAKDOWN. AND I WENT TO LIVE
WITH MY GRANDPARENTS WHEN I
WAS NINE YEARS OF AGE AND MY
GRANDMOTHER WOULD ALWAYS SAY,
"KISS ME RIGHT THERE. KISS
ME RIGHT THERE." SO I KISSED
HER ON THE CHEEK AND MY HEART
STOPPED. THE CIRCULATION CUT
OUT DOWN AT THE END OF MY TOES.
AND WHEN IT HIT ME HERE I
LEAPED OUT OF MY BODY. AND
WHEN I LEAPED OUT OF MY BODY
I HAD EXACTLY THE SAME
EXPERIENCE. I BEGAN TO DESCEND
DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN. I
KNOW IT WAS ONLY A FEW SECONDS
OR MOMENTS, BUT IT SEEMED
LIKE AN ETERNITY NEARLY 'TIL
FINALLY THE DARKNESS ENCOMPASSED
ME. THE DARKNESS, THE
FURTHER DOWN YOU WENT, THE
DARKER AND HOTTER IT BECAME.
FINALLY, I COULD SEE THE LIGHTS
FLICKERING ON THE WALL OF
DARKNESS. I CAME TO THE BOTTOM
OF THE PIT. I SAW THE GATES
OF HELL. I GAZED INTO HELL
ITSELF. AND I SAID... I TRIED TO
SLOW DOWN MY DESCENT, AND I
DID SLOW IT DOWN SOME, BUT THE
CREATURE OF SOME KIND (I DON'T
KNOW). YEARS LATER OR SOME
TIME LATER I READ IN
THE BIBLE WHERE IT SAID:
 HELL FROM BENEATH IS MOVED TO
 MEET THEE AT THY COMING: IT
 STIRRETH UP THE DEAD FOR THEE.
ISAIAH SAID THAT. WELL, I
SAW THAT. HELL FROM BENEATH
WAS MOVED TO MEET ME AT MY
COMING. AND SO THAT CREATURE
TOOK ME BY THIS ARM, RIGHT
ARM, TO ESCORT ME IN. I'LL TALK
MORE ABOUT THAT LATER. AND
SO, WHEN HE DID THOUGH, THANK
GOD THAT VOICE SPOKE. I DON'T
KNOW WHAT HE SAID. IT WAS A
FOREIGN TONGUE TO ME. BUT
WHATEVER HE SAID WORKED. THAT
CREATURE TOOK HIS HAND OFF
MY ARM. AND LIKE AN IRRESISTIBLE
PULL I JUST CAME FLOATING
BACK, FLOATING BACK. AND THEN
I BEGAN TO COME UP. AND I
CAME UP THE FIRST TIME ON THE
PORCH JUST OUTSIDE THE SOUTH
BEDROOM. THE SECOND TIME I CAME
UP AT THE FOOT OF THE BED.
I SAW MY BODY LYING THERE ON
THE BED. I SAW MY GRANDMOTHER
AS SHE HELD ME IN HER ARMS. I
SEEMED TO LEAP FROM THE FOOT
OF THE BED INSIDE MY BODY
LIKE A MAN WOULD SLIP HIS FOOT
INSIDE OF HIS BOOT IN THE
MORNING TIME. AND THEN I SAID TO
GRANNY... YOU KNOW, WE SAY...
OUT IN THE WORLD WE SAID,
"THE THIRD TIME'S CHARM." I
SAID, "I'M GOING AGAIN. THE
THIRD TIME'S CHARM. I WON'T BE
BACK." SHE SAID, "I THOUGHT
YOU WASN'T COMING BACK THAT
TIME, SON." AND SO I LEFT A
WORD FOR THEM. I SAID, "TELL
GRANDPA I APPRECIATE HIM
GIVING ME A HOME WHEN I HAD
NONE. TELL GRANDPA GOODBYE.
TELL MY..." I LEFT A WORD FOR
MY OLDER SISTER, MY OLDER
BROTHER AND MY YOUNGER
BROTHER, AND MY HEART STOPPED.
AND I LEAPED OUT OF MY BODY
AND I BEGAN TO DESCEND DOWN,
DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN,
DOWN, 'TIL THE DARKNESS
ENCOMPASSED ME AROUND ABOUT;
DARKNESS THAT WAS SO DENSE
THAT YOU COULDN'T SEE YOUR HAND
IF THERE'S ONE EACH IN FRONT
OF YOUR EYE. AND SO UP 'TIL
NOW SOME WAY OR ANOTHER I,
I DIDN'T REALIZE THIS WAS
REAL. I THOUGHT I... THIS WAS AN
HALLUCINATION. AND SO, I KNEW
YOU KNOW IN THE WORLD WE SAY
THE THIRD TIME'S CHARM AND I
SAID TO GRANDMA, "I WON'T BE
BACK THIS TIME." AND SO IN THE
DARKNESS, IN THE DARKNESS I
LITERALLY SCREAMED. IF I
COULD DO IT LIKE I DID IT I'D
ALMOST SCARE YOU OUT OF
YOUR WITS. BUT I LITERALLY
SCREAMED, "GOD! GOD! I BELONG
TO THE CHURCH! I'VE BEEN
BAPTIZED IN WATER!" I'M TRYING
TO TELL HIM I'M GOING THE
WRONG DIRECTION.
(CONGREGATION RESPONDS)
AMEN. I SHOULD BE... AND I WAS
SCARED BECAUSE I THOUGHT,
"I'M NOT COMING BACK THIS
TIME." AND I'VE ALREADY GOT A
GLIMPSE OF HELL AND WHAT IT
LOOKED LIKE. AND SO I SAID
THERE'S NO ANSWER, ONLY THE
ECHO OF MY OWN VOICE IN THE
DARKNESS. YOU EVER BEEN TO
THE CAVERNS LIKE CARLSBAD
CAVERN, FOR INSTANCE? I'VE
BEEN THERE. AND YOU CRY OUT,
YOU KNOW, AND YOUR VOICE WILL
ECHO ACROSS THE CHASM? MY
VOICE ONLY CAME BACK TO
ECHO ME, "GOD, GOD I'VE BEEN
BAPTIZED WITH WATER." AND
SO THE SECOND TIME I CRIED A
LITTLE LOUDER, "GOD! GOD!
I BELONG TO THE CHURCH! I'VE
BEEN BAPTIZED IN WATER!" NO
ANSWER, ONLY MY ON VOICE.
THIRD TIME I LITERALLY SCREAMED,
"GOD! GOD! I BELONG TO
THE CHURCH! I'VE BEEN BAPTIZED
IN WATER!" AND I CAME TO
THE BOTTOM OF THE PIT. I GAZED
THROUGH THE GATES OF HELL.
THEY PULLED ME. I'M FLOATING
THAT DIRECTION. THAT CREATURE
TOOK ME BY THE ARM TO ESCORT
ME IN. BUT THANK GOD. THANK
GOD. SPIRITUAL THINGS NEVER
GROW OLD. DO YOU REMEMBER
WHAT PAUL SAID IN
2 CORINTHIANS 4:16:
YOU'LL NEVER BE ANY OLDER
SPIRITUALLY THAN YOU ARE RIGHT
NOW. HALLELUJAH. SPIRITUAL
THINGS NEVER GROW OLD. THIS
COMING APRIL THE 22ND IT'LL
BE 70 YEARS AGO THAT THAT
HAPPENED TO ME. IT'S JUST
AS REAL TO ME AS THOUGH IT
HAPPENED LAST SATURDAY NIGHT;
JUST AS REAL. JUST AS REAL.
JUST AS REAL. IN 70 YEARS
NEVER ONE DAY HAS PASSED THAT
I HAVEN'T THOUGHT ABOUT
DYING. SOMEBODY SAYS, "THAT'S
REMORSEFUL." OH, NO, NOW I'M
GOING A DIFFERENT DIRECTION.
(CONGREGATION RESPONDS)
(CHUCKLES) HALLELUJAH, AMEN.
I'D PRAISE MYSELF TO SLEEP
EVERY NIGHT THANKING GOD I
DIDN'T GO TO HELL. AND SO THAT
CREATURE TOOK ME BY THE ARM
THE THIRD TIME TO ESCORT ME
THROUGH THOSE GATES. I WAS
GOING TO PUT UP A FIGHT IF I
COULD, BUT THANKS BE UNTO GOD
THAT VOICE SPOKE. I DON'T
KNOW WHAT HE SAID. IT WAS A
FOREIGN LANGUAGE TO ME. BUT
WHATEVER HE SAID, I'D SAY
MAYBE HE SPOKE TEN OR TWELVE
WORDS, BUT WHATEVER HE SAID
THAT CREATURE TOOK HIS HAND OFF
MY ARM, AND THERE WAS AN
IRRESISTIBLE PULL LIKE A METAL
DRAWS... LIKE A MAGNET DRAWS
METAL TO ITSELF TO MY BACK. AND
I CAME FLOATING BACK LIKE YOU'D
FLOAT IN THE AIR, YOU KNOW.
IN OTHER WORDS, A WHOLE LOT LIKE
THOSE ASTRONAUTS WALKING IN
SPACE. AND THEN WHEN I GOT
BACK HERE THEN UP. AND I WAS
ABOUT... CAME RIGHT BACK THROUGH
THE DARKNESS AGAIN BEFORE
YOU GET... BEGIN TO SEE THE
LIGHTS; SO FAR I COULD EVER SEE
THE LIGHTS OF THE EARTH. I
BEGAN TO PRAY. SEE, THE INWARD
MAN'S A REAL MAN. AMEN; THE
SPIRIT MAN. I BEGAN TO PRAY
AND ASK GOD TO FORGIVE ME AND
ASK GOD TO SAVE ME. AND I
CAME UP BESIDE THE BED; ONLY
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ALL THREE
EXPERIENCES. ONCE I CAME UP
ON THE PORCH, ANOTHER TIME I
CAME UP AT THE FOOT OF THE
BED, AND THIS TIME I CAME UP
RIGHT BESIDE THE BED; LEAPED
INSIDE MY BODY. I GOT INSIDE
MY BODY. MY PHYSICAL VOICE
PICKED UP MY PRAYER RIGHT IN THE
MIDDLE OF A SENTENCE. AMEN.
AND WE LIVED IN THE BEST PART
OF TOWN. IN FACT, JUST ONE
BLOCK - WELL, A HALF A BLOCK
FROM MY GRANDFATHER'S HOUSE
IS WHAT THEY CALL MILLIONAIRE
ROW. IN FACT, HE STARTED TO
BUY A HOUSE THERE, BUT EVEN IN
DEPRESSION THE TAXES WERE
SO HIGH HE DECIDED NOT TO.
NONETHELESS, WE LIVED IN THE
BEST PART OF TOWN. AND THEY
TELL ME THOUGH THAT ME AND
MAMA... AND YOU KNOW YOU DIDN'T
HAVE TRAFFIC IN 1933, LIKE
YOU DO TODAY; VERY LITTLE
TRAFFIC. BUT THEY TELL ME THAT
ME AND MAMA PRAYED SO LOUD THAT
WE BLOCKED THE TRAFFIC
TWO BLOCKS AWAY.
(CONGREGATION RESPONDS)
IT JUST PILED UP. WELL FOLKS
I GUESS THOUGH SOMEBODY WAS
DYING. WELL THEY WAS. AMEN.
(CONGREGATION RESPONDS)
MAMA PRAYING AT THE TOP OF HER
VOICE. AND I'LL TELL YOU I
PRAYED. SOMEBODY SAYS, "I DON'T
BELIEVE IN LOUD PRAYING."
WELL, I'M SORT OF A CONSERVATIVE
PERSON MYSELF, BUT I'LL
TELL YOU I PRAYED OUT LOUD!
AMEN! AND EVERY MEETING I
HOLD YOU HEAR ME. EVERY ALTAR
CALL I GIVE (I HAVE FOR THESE
MANY YEARS) I'LL TELL PEOPLE
"THERE'S A HELL TO SHUN AND
THERE'S A HEAVEN TO GAIN. IT'S
UP TO YOU WHETHER YOU GO TO
HEAVEN OR WHETHER YOU
GO TO HELL." AMEN.
(CONGREGATION RESPONDS)
THANK GOD FOREVER MORE.
HALLELUJAH, BLESSED BE THE NAME
OF THE LORD. FRIENDS, THANK
GOD FOR OUR BLESSINGS. THANK
GOD FOR ALL WE HAVE IN THIS
LIFE. BUT MY FRIENDS, THERE'S
A BETTER LIFE FOR WE WHO ARE
CHRISTIANS. AMEN. AND WE NEED
TO WARN THOSE WHO DO NOT
KNOW, THOSE WHO ARE UNSAVED.
THERE IS A HELL TO SHUN. I
MEAN IF HALF OF WHAT HE SAYS
HERE ABOUT HELL IS TRUE I MEAN
IT'S ENOUGH TO STIR EVERYONE
OF US UP. AMEN.
(CONGREGATION: "AMEN.")
PRAISE GOD. NOW, NOTICE THIS
THAT HELL - WHAT KIND OF A
PLACE IS IT? IT'S A PLACE OF
CONSCIOUS TORMENT. IT'S A
PLACE OF ETERNAL MEMORY.
REMEMBER WHAT HE SAID, ABRAHAM
SAID TO THE RICH MAN? REMEMBER.
REMEMBER. REMEMBER WHAT?
THAT, "THOU IN THY LIFETIME..."
REMEMBER. IT'S A PLACE
WHERE PEOPLE SEE. HE SAW
ABRAHAM AFAR OFF AND LAZARUS IN
HIS BOSOM. IT'S A PLACE WHERE
PEOPLE TALK. HE CRIED OUT
AND SAID, "FATHER ABRAHAM
HAVE MERCY ON ME AND SEND
LAZARUS TO DIP HIS FINGER IN
WATER AND COOL MY TONGUE."
IT'S A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE
CRY OUT. IT'S A PLACE OF NO
ESCAPE. IT'S A PLACE OF ANXIETY
FOR LOVED ONES. HE MIGHT
NOT HAVE BEEN CONCERNED IN
THIS LIFE, BUT NOW HE, EVEN
THERE IN HELL, HE'S ANXIOUS.
HE'S CONCERNED ABOUT HIS FIVE
BROTHERS. HE DON'T WANT THEM
TO COME TO THIS PLACE OF
TORMENT. IT'S A PLACE OF
WEEPING AND GNASHING OF TEETH.
FIVE TIMES THAT'S MENTIONED
IN THE NEW TESTAMENT. IT'S A
PLACE OF WEEPING AND WAILING.
IT'S A PLACE WHERE THE FIRE
IS NOT QUENCHED. IT'S A PLACE
WHERE THERE'S NO REST DAY OR
NIGHT (REVELATION 14:11). IT'S
A PLACE OF SMOKING TORMENT
(REVELATION 14:11 AGAIN). IT'S
A PLACE EVENTUALLY THEY'LL BE
CAST IN THE LAKE OF FIRE,
WHERE IT'S A LAKE OF FIRE AND
BRIMSTONE. IT'S A PLACE OF
ETERNAL DEATH, A SECOND DEATH.
THAT MEANS ETERNALLY
SEPARATED FROM GOD.
BUT THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY TO
ESCAPE IT. THAT'S TO
BE BORN AGAIN.
