A Southern Baptist Preacher Faithfully Awakening
This is a sermon by a Southern Baptist named Paul Washer. We are sharing this sermon with you, not because we endorse Southern Baptist Theology and doctrine but because The Holy Spirit is being poured out in preparation for the Lord Cry and many of us are unaware of how close we are to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. This sermon bears witness and testifies to the signs of our time. The Spirit of Prophecy informs us that — “Unless we are daily advancing in the exemplification of the active Christian virtues, we shall not recognize the manifestation of the Holy Spirit in the latter rain. It may be falling on hearts all around us, but we shall not discern or receive it.” Testimony to Ministers, p.507

This Sermon was preached at a Southern Baptist Youth Convention in 2005. God is indeed waking up and preparing His sheep which are not of the Seventh-day Adventist fold. Sincere Christians are searching their hearts and are eagerly involved in the process of sanctification. We need to reflect on our own condition and heed the warning of Revelation 3 to the seventh and final church. This type of revival outside our own church is warning to us.
1Peter 4:17 “For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?”
The Spirit of Prophecy cries unto unto as and warns us that The Loud Cry will be the only message left which will unite the Body of Christ from all denominations in preparation to meet our King. The Lord is keeping these members of the Body separate until we have been complete in our union with Christ. If these Christians are waking up, then that time is not far distant, and how do we as individuals stand before God? Not until we are in the Unity of faith found in Christ, will we as believers be ready for the return of Jesus.
“If the churches expect strength, they must live the truth which God has given them. If the members of our churches disregard the light on this subject [health reform], they will reap the sure result in both spiritual and physical degeneracy. And the influence of these older church members will leaven those newly come to the faith. The Lord does not now work to bring many souls into the truth, because of the church members who have never been converted and those who were once converted but who have backslidden. What influence would these unconsecrated members have on new converts? Would they not make of no effect the God-given message which His people are to bear?.… Brethren, we are far behind. Many of the things which the church should do in order to be a living church are not done… Our habits must be brought into conformity to the will of God. We are assured, ‘It is God which worketh in you,’ but man must do his part in controlling appetite and passion. The religious life requires the action of mind and heart in harmony with the divine forces. No man can of himself work out his own salvation, and God cannot do this work for him without his co-operation. But when man works earnestly, God works with him, giving him power to become a son of God” (Ellen G. White, Testimonies for the Church, vol. 6, pp. 371, 372).
In short, this sermon is evidence that God is almost ready to return because He has been working to prepare a faithful people who have been practicing surrender. These Christians are daily being transformed in order to be clothed with the robe of Christ which fits them for the Marriage Supper of The Lamb. Brenthen and Sistren, are we as Seventh-day Adventists awake and ready for the Latter Rain of the Holy Spirit?
We firmly believe that the Seventh-day Adventist church is God’s end time church. We firmly believe that there will not be another church after the S D A church for there is no other church after Laodicea. What we are sharing here is simply a call to alertness as prophecy is being fulfilled. We are the chosen church of God but we are not all chosen people. “Many are called but few are chosen.” Romans 13:11–12 “And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.”
