44The Cutting Work Of The Hqly Spirit”
»•» J. U. I.llllt*
The greatest thing in all
this universe is to know the
Lord Jesus Christ as your
Lord and your Saviour 1
w ish I could tell the story of
redeeming grace as 1 know
it experimentally, but
there are no words in any
language that can express
the greatness of Christ
That is why 1 feel as though
I have failed every time I
give my testimony How is
it w ith you. my friends? Do
you know the Lord Jesus
Christ0 Do you know Him?
Every soul will meet the
Lord You will meet Him in
this life in mercy, or in the
next life at the Great White
-.Throne ,| ndmrient.Which
w ill it be in your case0 You"
are headed for eternity like
it or not If you go through
this life and fail to come to
know Christ as your Lord
-and vour Saviour, then it
would have been better'
that you had never been
born. Now, I'm facing you
with tho truth
It would be funny, if it t
weren't so tragical, the
mudflat on which multi
tudes of you live and stake
the destiny of your soul.
The saddesT thing here In
my life is to see the elderly
people in my family come
down to the end of life and
-you have no hope for
eternity at all. You are not
talking about going home
to be with the Lord. Some
of you, it would be un
believable the things you
have turned to, if I didn’t
know about them. If you go
out into eternity lost, you
are going to come face to
you have never loved nor
desired, you’ll have td live
in His presence, in His
righteousness. And that’ll
be the torture of the
damned throughout the
ceaseless ages of eternity.
Oh, the awfulness of etern
ity if you go out under the
cloud without Christ, Will
that be you? Mother, will
that be you? Father, will
that be you?
I’m glad and praise the
Lord I can greet you again
with this message, the se
cretary has been doing a
good- job of preaching for
—J. M. WHle—
me the last several weeks.
The Lord has given her a
place in the work and I
thank ffie Lord fdFher ~
Our subject at this time
is: "The Cutting Work of
the Holy Spirit." Little does
the multitude of our church
members know about the
work of the Holy Spirit in
the salvation of a sinner
But you stay with me and
~ask the Lord to open yout
mind, your eyes and your
heart to the truth. "For the
word of God is quick, and
powerful, and sharper than
any two-edged sword,
piercing even to the di
viding asunder of soul and
spirit, and of the joints and
marrow, and is a discerner
of the thoughts and intents;
of the heart." (Heb. 4:12).
This message grew out of
the experience I had yes
-lecdayiaLwfllching the sur
geon there in the hospital
perform an operation on
my youngest daughter. As
he was cutting with his
metal knife, I thought of
the cutting and surgical
work of the Holy Spirit in
the salvation of a sinner. As
a medical doctor does his
surgery on the human
body, so does the Spirit of
God do His work on the
spirit and mind and heart
of a sinner. Th knife of the
blessed Holy Spirit is the
Word of God. The Sword of
the Holy Spirit Paul told us
here in Hebrews, is sharper
than a two-edged sword.
The Word of God in the
hands of the Holy Spirit
penetrates' the inner mah.
The knife in the hands of a
surgeon can never pene
trate the inner man Only
the Holy Spirit can open the
inner man and let you see
just what you are by
nature, the judgement you
are under, and your eternal
—deem—as a hpH-rieserving
sinner.
When the Holy Spirit be
gins His operation on a
sinner, where does He first
begin? Many uf yuu will
quickly say He begins in
the heart, you are wrong.
The Holy Spirit first be
gins His operation in the
mind. You listen to the
Word of God: "But if our
^gospel be hid, it is hid u>
them that are lost: In
—whom the god of this world
hath blinded thelvilNDS of'
them which believe not,
lest the light of the glorious
gospel of Christ, who is the
image of God, should shine
unto them." (II Cor. 4:3-4).
It is the Holy Spirit who
shines the light of the
glorious gospel of Christ
into your minds first be
cause that is where you are
deceived by the god of this
world first. Satan is the god
of this world. Your mind
and my mind, were poi
soned by the god of this
world. Satan poisoned your
mind, and my mind to think

we count gain Ciou s tavor
by doing good works, re
ligious works So when the
Holy Spirit begins to
operate and do His cutting
work on you, as a sinner.
He begins in your poisoned
mind In your mind you
think you can get to Heaven
on your good works When
the Holy Spirit opens your
mind. He shows you that
you are wrong in your
thinking, you can t think
your way to Heaven Just
as the Spirit of God said;
"Let there be light: and
there was light," in Gen.
1:4 in restoring light to the
earth after it was destroy
ed and lay in darkness, sc
does the Spirit of God let
lilftt into your darkened
rmna. y oui lilllld and my
mind were darkened in the
FALL in AdamTWe all fell
to a devilish and hellish
state in Adam He lets you
see yourself as a totally
depraved sinnerT Many
have said to me; “there is
some good in the worst of
men, and man is in the
image of God." You need to
read your Bible and ask the
Spirit of God to operate on
your mind. Man was
created in the image of
God, true. but in the FAbfc
man lost that image and
the light in him went out on
the road to Hell because he
disobeyed God. Are you in
obedience to God, or fri
rebellion? Out of Christ you
are in rebellion against
God.
Note that the beldved
Apostle Paul said, “For
the word ..is a discerner of
the thoughts and intents of
the heart.”
