The Second Dimension Of Spiritual Deliverance — Part 1

thank you very much brother Mangan god bless you it's great to be in the presence of the Holy Ghost you can't handle but so much of this Word of God without there being explosion I don't know how it is around your place that I can tell you at home many times the effectiveness of a message is not immediately received or viewed or observed but there comes a repercussion of that message it's like the cracking of a wheel when it comes back it comes back and I can feel the waves of the Holy Ghost resounding over this auditorium right now praise God let's give the Lord a big hand clap must be the name of the Lord hallelujah raise your wonderful name dog I would like you to turn in your Bibles please to Saint John chapter 11 I am concerned about revival it is my heartbeat Church growth is my heartbeat I believe it's the will of God for every United Pentecostal church to be the largest church in your town I believe it's the will of God that your church be the largest church in town I believe it's the will of God that your church be the largest church in town I don't say that because we are but I still believe it's the will of God and I want it to be and I'm working for it to be I believe it ought to be and I believe the Lord would have it so I am interested in revival I am interested in church growth a persistent continual prevailing move of the Spirit is the burden of my heart so I would like to take you to John chapter 11 and verse number 42 through 45 st. John chapter 11 verse 42 through 45 it was messages like we have just heard when I was a student at Texas Bible College that thrust me before the Lord in prayer and supplication revolutionized my life and transformed me I am a debtor to brother Kilgore I'm a debtor to all of these great men of God and I thank the Lord for their impact upon my life Saint John chapter 11 verse number 42 and I knew that thou hearest me always but because of the people would stand by me I said it that they may believe that thou has sent me and when he does had spoken he cried with a loud voice Lazarus come forth and he that was dead came forth would you notice the next word bound hand and foot with grave clothes and his face was bound about with a napkin jesus said unto them jesus said unto them loose him and let him go loose him and let him go galatians chapter 4 and verse number 19 galatians 4 and 19 my little children of whom I travail in birth again would everyone say again I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you I want to preach on the second dimension of spiritual deliverance the second dimension of deliverance let's ask the Lord to bless us and help us Lord God we pray for your mighty anointing the strength of the spirit dollar hyah I believe in Jesus in your mighty name set us up I make us a flame hallelujah

in Jesus name and Jesus name somebody shout revival around your neighbors say I believe it the Lord bless you and you may be seated there were three documented accounts in the fiscal life of our Lord that he visited the dark domain of death the first one was the resurrection of the Daughter of Jairus the second time being the son of the widow of nain and the third time is the most notable and most frequently referred to the subject of our text today and that is the resurrection of Lazarus I believe there is a message of vital importance to this church in this hour from the frequenting of Jesus to death's domain and that is simply this the Daughter of Jairus had just died long enough for the mourners together he rebuked him and rammed him out of the room and said this is out of place we're not about to have a funeral this is about to be a resurrection the second one was the son of the widow of Nain who had been dead long enough to be wrapped in a in puttin a beer or casket and headed toward the cemetery jesus dissin all the financial plan of the funeral home that day by interrupting their program and presenting the boy back to his mother and set the funeral director home frustrated he'd been dead long enough to be put in a casket and headed to a cemetery the third one was Lazarus who'd been dead for four days and Jesus said I am the resurrection and the life he that believeth in me though he were dead yet shall he live the connotation and the implication of these incidents clearly speaks to us that Jesus would have us to know the degree of death is absolutely in material Jesus Christ is still the resurrection whether one has just been dead long enough for the mourners together or whether they've been dead long enough to be put in a casket and headed to a funeral celebration or whether they have actually been dead for four days jesus said that absolutely has nothing to do with it I am the resurrection I think we ought to leave this conference aware that Jesus is the resurrection and he is the life our world is not too wicked to have revival our world is not too sinful to be converted there is no such thing as anybody being beyond the point of reconciliation or the point of salvation he is able to save to the uttermost hallelujah and if there's breath in their body they are a candidate for this glorious message and we don't need to give the devil anybody we don't need to surrender anybody to sin we don't need to surrender anybody to hell we may feel the flames and get touched by the heat but we can walk through the fire and pull them out and let's give ear for Jesus Christ one of the great joys I've had in pastoring in Raleigh has been to walk to the very doors of the grave and jerk some loose from the fingers of death you could almost feel and hear the fingers of death snapping as the power of this gospel that you and I preached broke them free unto spiritual deliverance and salvation I'm not ashamed of the gospel of Christ for it is the power of God unto salvation hallelujah I'm not ashamed of the acts 2:38 message I'm not ashamed to preach repentance as a matter of fact if anybody ought to be ashamed it's those who would preach easy believe ISM or easy confession ISM I'm telling you the real gospel is the death the burial and the resurrection of Jesus Christ in repentance we empty out sin this gospel is logical and powerful in repentance we have get out in one of that ISM in the lovely name of Jesus it's taken away and then comes the infilling of the Holy Ghost to empower us to keep out what was emptied out and what was taken away that's why we stand firmly relaxed 2:38 that full Bible salvation is repenting of sin remitting of sin and then the infilling of the power of the Holy Ghost into your life I am more firmly convinced right now about the power of

this gospel than I have ever been in my life it works this gospel works there is no doubt about it that acts 2:38 is the first dimension of deliverance it is the first dimension of deliverance however many times we want to quickly get up from the altar and count how many prayed through so we can score them up on the board so that we can have a good count at some restauraunt after service relative to how many got the Holy Ghost or how many was baptized I'm tired of cotton candy type statistics around the church I'm interested more than a bunch of hullabaloo and a whole lot of throwing in a whole lot of shouting and a whole lot of rejoicing and know real addition to the kingdom of God let's shout the hair down but when we put the pins back in let's have something to show for it after the day of Pentecost where they got trust on the Holy Ghost they started counting two thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine 3019 3000 3000 120 God wants the church to grow and too often we are excited about the first dimension when they get baptized when they get the spirit and we rub our hands together but usher tells him relax back on the Pew like our job has been completed but Paul said I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you I want to maintain what God brings through my doors I'm interested in additional numbers after the revival is over I'm interested in two additional spiritual freak to add to the missionary giving add to the strength of the witness of the church and I think our weakness has been that we have stopped short on the first dimension when there's really a second dimension of deliverance that God wants everybody not only to be free but to be free in peace have a ban on our church it seems to be the theme that I've been motivated of late from it's this revival plus evangelism plus maturity equals church growth revival plus evangelist plus maturity equals church growth we cannot expect to see church growth on one of those areas we are too prone to look for a fast fix a fast fix a quick cure some kind of pill we can pop and it's all over but Paul said I'm going to travail in birth again until I'm going to keep on surveilling just like I cried when you came to the altar the night God gave you the spirit he said I want to keep on crying until Christ is now harm in you that's the second dimension of deliverance the first dimension Jesus call azeris out of the grave he called Lazarus out he said Lazarus come forth Lazarus come forth when that voice entered into that dark domain of silence I don't know what kind of condominium on the other side Lazarus was in I don't know if he had any buddies beside him or not but while everybody else was sleeping lashes with the quivering class was what the shaking and trembling and all of a sudden from a region that you're not supposed to come back from one came back hey do you realize we're in a church today that we've come out of a world where nobody is supposed to get out of it nobody's supposed to be delivered from it but here we are in Alexandria Louisiana set free by the power of Jesus Christ bring him up here buddy he's gonna bring mass was up here I invited lands for searchers today let him stand right there just a minute thank you bill if you stay close to you

a good man help him help him I mean he may not be dead but he still needs help folks it ain't over when they talk in tones here it over after they did baptized in Jesus name and that's what the enemy of our soul would like for us to do just get excited about the first dimension but we're getting a hold of something here that says there's a second dimension into that second dimension hallelujah Jesus resurrected Lazarus no doubt about that no help involved he did by himself he said Lazarus come forth and there he was but when Lazarus came out Jesus seemed to wipe his hands Jesus seemed to step back and say alright I've done my part I've done my part and the Bible said he turned to those that were there hey I got a feeling it was his friends I don't believe this adversaries would have come to say goodbye it's hard to get folks to go to a funeral and I think the ones who were there we're probably his very best friends that cared the most about and Jesus turned to his friends and said now resurrected him you lose as we enter into the final decade I want to get the record straight in the minds of our young preachers the holiness preaching is not an adversary thing it's not a main theme it's your friends that unwrap you and Undine you and on you soon it's your friend it's your plan Lazarus was alive but not loosed he was found but he was found he had life but it had no liberty because he was wrapped in grave clothes until Jesus turned around and said now I've resurrected him you loose him I'm telling you that when we preach a message of holiness separation from the world we're not binding we're loosening we're not finding we're losing well hallelujah and let me say this to you right now passing the United Pentecostal Church is not a sad-sack religion holiness does not make a sad holiness does not make a sad but it gives a joy at peace and you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free the truth set free it's the truth that set free just see on the day of Pentecost Peter preached that do you mind standing the whole sermon you can sit down I won't let him fall I'll call you hey it's good to have folks nearby that can help somebody I want you to look at this time because I believe that's just that is a visible objective view of what a new convert looks like even though they've repented even though they've been baptized and even though they've got the Holy Ghost they're still wrapped up in grave clothes peter briggs action 2:38 but that's not the end of a message now when we set the record straight here too it's not like one little boy in our church quoted acts 2:38 he put it like this then Peter said unto them repent be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the permission of sins acts 2:38 is not for the permission of sin it's for the remission of C but folks not 1 the end of the message and that's where the

devil like Russian stop breaks in I said the devil like for us to stop preaching and acts 2:38 but Peter didn't quit preaching in acts 2:38 and with many other words did he exhort and testify sand the second dimension the second dimension acts 2:38 don't bother some folks but letting them other words do the Bible said with many other wires I'm telling he was nearly through the preaching and a lot of those words I believe are in the first and second epistle of Peter now if you're a sinner the way to get saved as acts 2:38 but if you're a Christian the way to get saved is obey the epistles just like it takes 238 of Acts to save a sinner it takes the epistles to save a saint for God had chosen through the foolishness of preaching per se a then there hey so long to see we count how many got saved in a service but in no way we can calculate how many God's Asian brother Williams I've come to church when my mind was so confused and the adversary was too hot on the trail I was on a path of desolation and destruction but a man got to poop it on a Wednesday night and began to preach and when the county say folks didn't tell me but I got staged I got saved when that man preach I got excellent of you go get safe during because of the times there's folks gonna get saved how's about the wrong way and somebody preach to me they say me we are in an
