“A Letter Of Warning”
Little
I My Dear Friends,
' Let me reason with you just
a little, will you? 1 want to talk
to you about the tragedy and
folly of fighting the Lord and
His people.
Every soul who has ever
fought the Lord and His people
has always gone down. You
cannot win fighting the Lord
You are defeated to begin
with. Go back to the earliest of
time of man on the earth there
in the life of the two brothers;
Cain and Abel, as you know
Cain killed his brother Abel
(Gen. 4). Cain hated his bro
ther Abel because God accep
ted Abel’s offering but not his.
Cain could not get to the Lord
to kill Him, so he took his
hatred out on the Lord’s child.
That has been the history of
every Christ rejector all down
through the ages. In your
hatred for the Lord, you go
about trying to destroy all His
children
Everybody who comes in
contact with the Lord's anoin
te^ither sides in with them,
or^ou go about trying to
destroy them. You may not go
out slandering them publicly
as others may do, but deep in
your bosom is a heart of
murder for every child of God,
because you hate God (Rom.
8:7). The only reason you may
not go out to try to kill God’s
servant is because of the
restraint of God. The only
reason you are not a public
avowed atheist like Madeline
O’Hara is because of the res
traint of God. At heart you
hate God just as she does,
even though you are a profes
sing church member.
But go study the Word of
God from Genesis to Revela
tion and see that every soul
who has ever fought the Lord
and His anointed has always
gone down! Take the case of
Elijah, the old prophet of the
mountains. King Ahab, the old
wicked king accused Elijah of
troubling (I Kings 18:17). That
is always the case with a
Christ rejector, you always
blame God's servants for your
trouble instead of repenting.
King Ahab's wicked wife Jeze
bel tried many times to put
Elijah to death but she could
not. My friend, you may try to
kill God's servant, but if the
Lord does not give you permis
sion to do it, you’ll never
n n nimiiillii til
The rebellion against King
David was led by a member of
his own family. The world
makes much sport when a
member of the family of God’s
servant turns and fights him.
Listen my friend, what good
does it do your condemned
soul on the road to hell that
some member of my family
hates the Gospel? The same
hell will burn both of you. But
you get much false satisfac
tion out of chewing on the
rebellion of a Gospel hater,
but in hell your soul will have
no ease and satisfaction. King
David’s family that rose up
against him went down! And
when his son Absolom died he
cried; Oh Absolom! my son,
would to God I had died in
your place. David knew his
son went to Hell.
As I have sat before the
Lord and seen the judgment
fall on lost souls in my family
my heart has bled. I don’t
know what joy you can get out
of some soul in rebellion. I
sure don’t get any joy out of it.
D^id knew that son lived in
rdAllion and died in rebellion
and went to hell. Now the
preachers today will not be
true to the souls of men like
David was. Knowing that his
son died and went to hell, why
lie about him and try to preach
him into heaven? Go in the
churches today and practical
ly every soul who dies is
preached into heaven, almost
never into hell.
A woman said to my late ,
pastor one time; none of you
preachers believe in hell. The
pastor asked why? The wo
man replied that she had been
to a hundred funerals and the
preachers preached them all
into heaven. The pastor re
plied; sister they better not let
me have anything to say at
your funeral. I’ll tell the folks
where you went to.
When my sister died in 1967
some of the members of my
family made the statement
that 1 said she died and went to
hell. Well, she did die and go to
hell. They were so mad at me
they haven't spoken to me
about that matter since. Of all
the places in the world prea
chers should be true to the
souls of men, a funeral is the
one place they certainly must
be. As the pastor used to say;
as death finds you, so shall
eternity hold you.
What ever state you die in,
eternity will hold you there,
there is no second chance
after death. How will death
find you? How will eternity
hold YOU?
When 1 see souls rise up in
rebellion I know but for the
distinguishing grace of God
that would be J.M. Little. I
told a man one morning out at .
the General Mail Facility that
there was only one difference
between my nature and that of
a drunkard in the gutter. He
looked up at me in much
surprise wanting to know what
was the difference. I told him
the only difference was the
grace erf God.
The reason you are fighting
this poor servant of the Lord is
because there is no grace in
your life. Did you not read that
the Lord said “touch not Mine
anointed and do My prophets
no harm?” The Lord Jesus
Christ holds me in His hand,
and my heavenly Fatljpr holds
me in His hand, therefore I
have double security. You
can’t defeat me.
Have you not read that the
Lord said; “It is impossible
but that offences will come;
but WOE unto him, through
whom they come! It were
better for him that a millstone
were hanged about his neck,
AND HE CAST INTO THE
SEA, than that he should
offend one of these little
ones?" (LK. 17:1, 2).
Do you know what a mill
stone is? Study up on it and see
what a millstone is. If a
millstone were tied to your
neck and you cast into the sea,
you would not stop until you
hit the bottom, now you think
seriously my friend. Every
soul who has ever fought the
truth has always gone down!
There have been some who
later in life received a blow of
mercy. Take Saul of Tarsus,
he was going down the Damas
cus road on his way riding
high and handsome, to perse
cute more Christians. The
Lord gave him a blow of
mercy.
r-veryoofly is taking sides,
either with the Lord and His
anointed or against them. The
re is no neutral ground! You
may say; I'm not a Christian
but I don't hate the Lord and
His anointed. You are deceiv
ed! By nature you hate God,
since you are not born again
you hate God.
I plead with you again, don’t
ever say a word or do anything
against God's people. You
may take this attitude as some
here have; that So and So J.M.
Little, I'd just like to blow his
brains out, well, go ahead, I’ll
go to heaven and you will go to
hell. And five hundred six
million years from now you’ll
be burning in the flames in
regret. You can’t get saved
hating me. I’m a stumbling
stone to you. But may some of
you find mercy in the Lord is
my cry for you.
