B,JMJhe Hidden Gospel - Part 11 Listen again to the Word. "But the natural man (the lost sinner) receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned’’ (I Cor. 2:14) The natural man, whether in the pulpit or the world cannot understand the things of the Spirit of God. You cannot understand Holy Spirit Con viction because you are just a natural man. Further, a natu ral man is one who has never been illuminated by the Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit Conviction is a great mystery to the preachers here in North Caro lina. I haven't found a preach er in this state yet who under stands Holy Spirit Conviction. God never saves a sinner apart from Holy Spirit Convic tion. Now, you'll fly back at the truth like a deacon here; "All these people can’t be lost like Bro. Little is saying." Well, let me say this Bud, if the Lord ever awakens you to your lost condition it will scare you to death to see just how few are really saved. 1 don’t have a preacher here who can sit rlnu/n with mn nn>4 »«u. about how God saves a hell deserving sinner. You won’t acknowledge that every soul deserves to go to Hell Dut i u tell you when you are going to acknowledge it; when you stand at the judgment bar of God you’ll acknowledge it. Listen again; "But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. For verily I say unto you, that many prophets, and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, AND HA VE NOT SEEN THEM; and to hear those things WHICH YE HEAR AND HAVE NOT HEARD THEM (Matt. 13:16 17) There we see again the hidden things of God, revealed only to the children of God. The Lord uttered that great truth after giving the parable of the sower. Someone asked me one day; “Isn’t most of the Bible in parables?” I replied; “no, very little is written in parables compared to the re mainder of the Bible.” The question is often asked why did the Lord speak in para bles. The answer almost one hundred percent of the time is this; “The Lord spoke in parables to make it easier for the people to understand.” What about that answer? That answer is one fo the biggest jies out of hell! You listen to Ci • v* i —. .. J. M. Little my Diessea U)ra will you? “And the disciples came, and said unto Him (Christ), Why speakest thou unto them (the multitudes) in parables? He answered and said unto them (the disciples), Because it is GIVEN UNTO YOU TO KNOW THE MYSTERIES OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAV EN, BUT UNTO THEM IT IS NOT GIVEN. (Matt. 13+lo ll) Now, Bud, you had better quit lying on the Lord Jesus Christ. It was given only to the elect (the disciples) to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven. The mysteries were hidden from the multitudes in the day of our Lord just as the Gospel is hidden from the multitudes in my day. I have been setting forth how God saves poor lost hell-deserving sinners, and how Christ is prescious to my heart but you can’t see it. You see no beauty in Christ. You see no need of a Saviour. And you will declare that I am running things in the ground. The reason you see no beauty in Christ is because $ju are blinded by Satan. Every soul out of Christ is blind to true spiritual things. Satan has put your eyes out. The only way you will ever see your need of Christ is that the Lord will give you seeing eyes. The only way you will ever hear the Gospel is that the Lord will give you ears to hear. "Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.” (Matt. 13:9). Many years ago when 1 read Scriptures in the Word like that I asked; “Doesn't every body have ears-’” See how ignorant I was. I thought the reference was to physical ears. Oh how far I was from the truth. Yes, the Gospel is hidden, it is for the elect only. You can't make God give it to you. God is sovereign, you don't make or influence God to do one thing! You hear these preach ers say; “We’ll do so and so and then we’ll leave the rest up to the Lord.” Preachers, you don’t leave anything up to my Lord! He is sovereign! You listen to the sovereign God of the unjverse my prea chers. “And all the inhabi lnr.tr. nf 1L-_At- - --- HIV vai ill a I C I C^UICU as NOTHING: and He doeth according to HIS Will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: AND NONE CAN STAY HIS HAND, or say unto Him, WHAT DOEST THOU?” (Dan. 4:35) Listen again; "I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in rightousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.” Isa. 45:23 And you are so blind as to think you will do so and so and let the Lord do the rest. What a bunch of blind guides! My heavenly Father is the Sovereign God of this universe and does as He pleases. But over the last one hundred years and more, we have had in the pulpits of America, preachers who have tried to dethrone God and put ij[Jwn>on_the_tJ^on^Youjgrea_ chers have tried to take the sword of justice out of the hands of a sovereign God. But I praise the Lord you cannot overthrow the God I know. The god of the average pulpit in America today no more resembles the God of the Bible than a dim flickering taper resembles a mid-day July sun! I’ll start right here in Charlotte, North Carolina. The god of the pulpits of this city is not the God of the Bible. The God of the Bible, the Christ of the Bible, the Holy Spirit of the Bible, are not known nor preached from the pulpits of Charlotte, North Carolina. He is hidden from you, you don't know Him, if you knew Him you would preach Him. When a soul flares up in rebellion against the Gospel God blinds that soul, "tAc cording as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day (Rom 11:8) You didn’t know that God would blind you did you? Listen again; “...but the election (elect) hath obtained it, AND THE REST WERE BLINDED (Rom. 11:7). These messages we are printing every week are for the elect of God only. Every one else is blinded to the truth. My friend, what about you? What will you do? You will either be concerned about the eternal destiny of your soul or you will turn away and go to hell. It’s repent and believe the Gospel or be damned. You’ll never get saved as long as you are critical of God’s servant. No sinner ever gets saved calling God a liar. May the Lord grant you repentence is my prayer for you. Turn to the Lord now .before it is too late I .. * rteiidDie I V Service RELIABLE TV 8ERVICE 4431 -CN.
