Prophets Column “Some Will Never Be Saved” UJ J . ifl. LillUC • In studying God's Word we find that there are some who will never be saved. That’s right. Even though you may sit under the truth week after week. Even though you may live with a godly man or woman. You may have been bom in a family where both parents are saved, you may never be saved. Such statements as these come as a warning to the elect. How shall it be in your case? Is there a desire in your heart to know Christ? You can read the Bible for one hundred years and never be saved. If the Holy Spirit never gives you the New Birth there will never be a desire in your heart for Christ and you will never be saved. I j iiuico ur* fore, and I want to say it again; you can believe the Bible from cover to cover and never be saved, you can go to Hell with the Bible in your hand. When I have made statements like that the eyes of professors of religion almost jump out. And you want to ac cuse me of blasphemy. I’ll tell you something I have found to be true in every case, every soul who has risen in opposition to the messages or the truth I teach is a total stranger to Holy Spirit Conviction. Also they go astray on the Total Depravity of man. If you go astray on Total Depravity you’ll go astray on everything else. It is the work of the Holy Spirit to show the awakened sinner his totally depraved con dition. This the Holy Spirit does when He awakens you to the fact you are a lost sinner. Have you ever been awakened to your lost condition? If you are not awakened to your lost con dition under Holy Spirit Conviction (Jn. 16:7-11), then you will be awakened at death to your lost con dition. If you had ever been awakened under Holy Spirit Conviction, then you would agree with the truth I am setting forth. You can’t agree with the truth however because you are just a natural man dead in trespasses and sins. The natural man cannot under stand spiritual things be cause spiritual things are spiritually discerned. In your natural state, apart from the enlightenings of the blessed Holy Spirit, you’ll never understand what I teach. And you’ll always disagree because Satan your father has you blinded to the truth of your true totally depraved con dition. You can’t see eye to eye with me because you are LOST. That’s your trouble and the trouble with every soul who has risen in opposition to these messages for over eight years. You may talk about the Scriptures, your church or some great truth. But you refuse to talk about the Lord Jesus Christ. If you ever are awakened by the Holy Spirit you’ll see I’m giving you the truth. You think you are saved but no one has ever heard you tell how God saves a poor Hell-deserving sinner, and Christ is not exalted in your testimony. The Person and work of Christ are missing in your testimony. And deep in your heart you know you are empty as an old rusty tin can. You keep tndng^^^hoo^ip^ai^ fading experience that you took to be salvation. Now with that as an introduction let’s look in the Word of God and see some who will never be saved. No proud man is saved! Now you can put that down and hold it. Listen to the Word of God: “...him that hath an high look and a PROUD heart will not I suffer” (Ps. 101:5). Then in Prov. 21:4 “An high look, and a PROUD heart...is sin”. Then listen to Obadiah 1:3, “The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, thou dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?" Every soul born of woman is proud. But let me warn you, God is going to destroy the proud! Satan is proud and his children are proud. God hates sin and God hates the sin of pride! Pride is self glory and the exaltation of one’s self. But listen to what God said He would do; “Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down saith the Lord.” (Obadiah 1:4). When God awakens a sinner and begins to show the sinner just how wicked and depraved he really is, all your pride begins to flee away. But a proud sinner says; I’m not totally de praved and God’s servant is crazy and beside him- i self. Your pride keeps you • U1C UUU1, Uie truth about your lost and ruined condition. Pride says; my opinion is just as good as yours. Pride says; you can’t change me and I can’t change you. The proud will never be saved. The opposite of a proud heart is a broken heart. Before you are saved, if you are to be saved, you are going to be so broken I have no words to describe it. That’s right. Anytime you meet a soul who is hard-hearted and cussed you are talking to a lost soul. Every believer is easily entreated. You are not easily entreated be cause you do not know Christ. The Lord Jesus Christ never has and never will dwell in a proud heart Listen to the Word of God; ‘‘For thus saith the high and lofty One that inha biteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a con trite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the nimble and to revive the i«art of the contrite ones ” Isa. 57:15) There you have it. That soul who has been broken at the feet of Christ, seeing how his sins put the Lord to death is a broken soul, one of a broken heart. The Lord looks on those who are broken in heart. But God resists the proud. If the Lord ever opens your heart for salvation you are going to see just how you have sinned against the Lord. And the sight of yourself in the light of glorious gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ will humble you. A proud soul always resists truth. You rise in rebellion all the time. There is only a thin cobweb of mercy holding you out of Hell right now. One day the line will be out. A proud heart is also an ungrateful heart. In the face of all the goodness of God your heart grows harder day by day. In the life of every individual, you are either being hardened more and more for Hell, or broken more and more for Christ. Which is it in your case? A proud heart will never be saved, you’ll have to endure the torture of the damned throughout all eternity. A proud heart sees no need of the mercy of God. But the poor sinner seeing himself under Holy Spirit Conviction cries out unto the Lord;'“Lord, be merciful to me! I’m a lost sinner, I want to be saved, to be an object of your mercy. I must be shown mercy or die.” Now, that’s a sinner coming to Christ. I know because one day I was there. I was that sinner seeing my lost and undone condition. I knew I had to get to Christ or die. It didn’t matter what the world or my family thought about me. I wanted Christ. And when I came to the place I wanted Christ more than anything under the sun God saved me, revealed Christ to my heart. Friend, if the Lord ever opens your eyes to see yourself as you are before Him, you’ll be down at His feet crying for mercy. And you’ll be tell ing me to be true to your soul. You’ll never lift a finger in rebellion against me again. It’s repent or perish. ‘‘Except ye repent ye shall all likewise perish. "You’ll repent or go to Hell. I Jim Little I . .
