And for today April 27th the title of the title of the message or the devotion is Gospel Mission. And Darius Charles Spurgeon Spurgeon himself right there 1856 this message. So and going to read the first message first few verses were going to be rating are found in Matthew chapter 28 verses 16 through 20. Take a moment to find that in your Bible. Feel free to pause the podcast.

In Matthew chapter 8 verse chapter 28 verses 16 through 20 receive then the 11 disciples went away in the galley and do a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. And when they saw him they worshipped in Jesus came and spake unto them saying all power is given unto me in heaven and in Earth go ye therefore and teach All Nations baptizing them in the name of the father and of the son and of the Holy Ghost teaching them to observe all things whatsoever. I have commanded you and lo I Am With You Always even unto the end of the world Amen. Yes, like I said the title is going to be gospel mission's it's an excerpt of a sermon delivered on the morning of April 27th, 1856 by the Reverend Charles Spurgeon at Newpark Chapel the street chapel and Southward and this is the message of the excerpt of the sermon. He says the claim of authority is true of the degree of progress. How did Muhammad come to have? So strong religion in his time? He was all alone. And he went into the marketplace and said I have received the Revelation from Heaven. He persuaded men to believe it. He said I have a revelation from Heaven people looked at his face. They saw the pond earnestly and believing what he said and some five or six of them joined him. Did he prove what he said? No, he must you must he said believe what I say were there is no Paradise for you. There is a power in that kind of a kind of thing and whether and wherever he went his statement was believed not on the ground of reasoning but on his authority which he declared to be from Allah in a century later a thousand Sabres had flashed from a thousand sheaves and his word had been proclaimed through Africa turkey Asia and even Spain

The man claimed Authority he claimed Divinity therefore. He had power take again the increase of Mormonism. What has been is strength simply this desertion of power from Heaven that claim is made and people believe it and now they are now they have missionaries in almost every country of the habitable glow in the Book of Mormon is translated into many languages.

Go there never could be a delusion more transparent or more counterfeit less skillful and more line upon the very surface yet. This simple pretension of power has been the means of carrying power with it. Now my brother we have power we are God's ministers we preach God's truth. The great Judgment of heaven and in Earth has told us the truth. Now, I want you to just stop there and think about this. This is what Charles Spurgeon preached on April 27th. 1856 1856. That's 170 years my correct 170 years ago.

pet steps that's amazing. Send a message. We still can hear today. I I believe so. we have Are false religions at a rapid Pace today?

We're we're part we have a real today.

That believes not on food a fact and not on proof but on fear. Just like in 1856.

Virgin pools from when Paul and Barnabas were on the missionary travels in Acts chapter 13 13 verse 49 in the Bible says in the word of the Lord was published throughout all the reason. I want to I don't know how to think about this.

The word of the Lord was published throughout all the reason. Saint Paul and Barnabas from missionary travel

today without a doubt without question. The word of God is published today. We have a digital we have written we have audio. all different types of media platforms today That deliver God's word.

But that is a platform. Just like we Christians are another platform and sharing the gospel. Let me take a step further and explain what Spurgeon phone is to Christ priest with authority which may men sit up and take notice. We have an authority and I want to take you to Luke Chapter 4 verses 31 through 37, and we're going to speak here about about Jesus here for a second. And what was said here? And first number 31 and came down. Chat and came down to Campania can premium a city of Galilee and taught them on the Sabbath days and they were astonished at his Doctrine for his word was with power in in The Sinner God. There was a man which had a spirit of an unclean devil and cried out with a loud voice saying let us alone what have we would have we to do with the Dow Jesus of Nazareth Art Thou come to destroy us. I know they who Thou Art the Holy One of God and Jesus rebuked him saying hold thy peace and come out of him. And when the devil had thrown him in The Mists, he came out of him and hurt him not and they were all amazed and spake that among themselves saying what a word is this for this Authority and power. He commanded the unclean spirits. And they came out in the fame of him went out into every place of the country roundabout. You see our savior. Jesus Christ he speaks with authority and Power.

He speaks with authority of power to cast out Devils to cast out unclean spirits Authority and power is in the word of God. You see our Bible is a Living Word. It speaks to us. Convicts us and it instructs us in a crate and a trait has two two two live.

All those other books that were spoken of by the fear of Muhammad. by Mormonism Those aren't living books. Those are words on paper.

Our Savior our God Is living today.

He rose from the dead and he's living at the right hand of the father.

Spurgeon also takes to the point that I want to draw stew is his power has not weekend. But are we limited limiting him in any way we looking 1st Corinthians chapter 1 verse number 17 for Christ sent me not to baptize but to preach the gospel not with wisdom of words less. The Cross of Christ should be made of none effect. And also on verse 1st Corinthians chapter 2 verse 4 and 5 in my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's Wisdom, but in demonstration of the spirit and of power that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men than the power of God you see it is not our wisdom. It is not us. It is God. It is God's words that convicted. It is God's words that transform an unbeliever into a Believer. It is God's words that change the hearts and minds of people. It's nothing to do with us how fancy or how flash or how how whatever it may be to draw men. It is God's word. I told you this before the devil destroys Our Testimony by Pride the devil will destroy every time if we have the pride and we think it's us that is going to change people's minds. It's us that's going to hit get that person saved it is us that's going to do works for Christ for salvation. It's us and we're going to do do good works towards man and that's going to make us look like better men and women. We don't have that power. We do not have that power whatsoever. It is only through Christ and Christ himself that gives us the wisdom that gives us the preaching that gives us the power that comes from God. And I looked out and I see and I think about how many people want to go on their own power? UCR power human power is limited meaning we can get hurt we can get. We can get punished we can get Limited. All right, we can be physically restrained. But the power of God is Limitless. Nothing can control it. He is the all-powerful he is the all-knowing. Is he on his everywhere? He is all those things which we are not and we need to recognize that we are nothing without him. If we have are Limitless are limited body with his Limitless Authority and power and we don't use our own strength, but his strength what of testimony of what a work and what a movement we can do for him not for us, but for him, and so I asked you today.

What power are you using are using God's power. Are you trying to steal some keep your head above water with your power? How about you turn down your power and turn up a little bit of God's power get in his book read his book study it have that strength of the Living Word in you remember all those other false prophets are nothing but false. All those books are just words and letters on a page, but we have a chance to actually engage a relationship with him and through him do Mighty works. I hope you enjoyed today's podcast.
