You can never rid sin by patting it on the back. You can never rid sin by educating people. Our programs has become demolished and have failed. There’s only one remedy for sin, and, that is, Christ is that remedy. And not Christ through intellectual confession, but through the baptism of the Holy Ghost, to a new Life and a regeneration. That’s the only remedy for sin, only remedy for a nation. It’s the only remedy for a church. It’s the only remedy for the people.
In West Memphis they wanted to spend two and one-half million dollars for a race court, for gambling. Two and one-half million dollars, to degrade, and to pollute, and to send souls to hell. But the Arkansas people done something about it. Every church, I think, nine or ten different denominations in them community, they all got together and said, “It’s wrong. And we won’t have it.” And they formed a prayer meeting, and they take chains of prayers, day in and out, and night in and out. And when the judges and the federal men, and they all went to the court the next morning, to settle it, whether they could build it or not, they were met, and it was defeated. Prayer changes things. I don’t care how rotten the world is, how rotten our country is, our nation is, our people; our prayer changes things.
But we’re not interested in prayer meeting no more. We got so many other things we have to do, so we think.
And then, not only that, was that race court condemned, but it also was drawed up that they could not have, in the state of Arkansas, nothing like that anymore for years and years to come. Why? Because the people that are called by His Name assemble themselves together and pray.
Oh, what we need today is a calling together, a getting ready. And not depending on the preacher, but you, as an individual before God, make yourself ready for the Coming of the Lord, to escape all this corruption.
No matter what they call you, and what action they take, that doesn’t change God one bit. God will do it, just the same. He’s depending and waiting on us. Oh, my!
