No Other Way
Bro. Ernest Benion Jr.

Text: Acts 4:12
There is only one way to heaven – through Jesus Christ. The religious world is shying away from the exclusivity of the one way as taught in the Bible. There is only one, true God. There is no multiplicity of ways to salvation. We must strongly proclaim to the world that there is only one, true, Bible way to salvation. Paul was not ashamed of the Gospel and neither should we.
Romans 1:16
1 Corinthians 1:17
There 7-step programs available for deliverance from drugs – the Gospel offers a 1-step program! It has the answer to ALL problems, great or small. It is THE answer for broken homes, peace in the Middle East, and all the social disfunctions all around us.

The Lord has blessed tremendously this past week and sent a real revival through young and old. Souls were saved and completely delivered from the power of sin. The Holy Spirit worked in a powerful through Bro. Ernest and we are thankful for his willingness to serve us.

Set Your House In Order
Bro. Ernest Benion Jr.

Text: Isaiah 38:1
Just because you do not see it, does not mean it does not exist. Meetings like these provide a time to get serious about your record. What God is writing down, you are dictating. People know they need to be saved, but some are unsure of where to start. Begin by setting your house in order. Spiritual houses are in a mess – sinks in the bedroom, showers in the living rooms, and beds in the kitchens.
James 4:7-8
Your case is not hopeless – submit to God. He is greater than you and has the power you need. Begin by reading your Bible, praying, and submitting yourselves to God and his people. Take the necessary steps towards salvation. God has professional advisers in spiritual matters. We can offer 100% return on investment with dividends – forget 15%!
When you move towards God, He moves towards you. Make the right moves, take the steps, and you will be rewarded by His presence.
Do not get religious – get to the root of your problems and get deliverance.

The Valley of Decision
Bro. Ernest Benion Jr.

Text: Joel 3:14
God is bringing you to a point of decision. He is putting you between a rock and a hard place. He is trying to bring you down into the valley that has a tall and difficult mountain on either side. The mountain on one side is called Death, the other one is called Life and both are very difficult to climb. People who endeavour to climb the mountain of Life but give up because of the steepness and danger, will find that the mountain of Death is even harder to climb.
Deuteronomy 30:15-19
Choose Life! There is no need to go on living with the pain and carrying the heavy burdens you have been carrying. What you have to do is decide. God does the saving after you make the decision.
Genesis 32:24-29
Like Jacob, you are going to have to wrestle with God and it’s going to be the most difficult fight you’ve ever engaged in. You know you want to be saved but God has been putting you off to test you. Your blessing is just a decision away. When God asks you “What is your name?”, He is saying that you need to decide if you’re going to continue doing things your way, or if you’re willing to change.
Luke 16:16
The saints are forming a human chain. Christ is at the top of the chain and the saints stand together, holding hands, to form a chain to reach down to you. We are anchored to him and we will not let go. We are helping you, all you have to do is reach out and take the hand that is offered. It will work, but you have to make the decision. You are going to have to press your way. You can make it…with the right decision. Stop worrying about your family or other circumstances – this is not their time. This is your moment – seize it!

Once again, we are thankful for your prayers as the Lord has done great things in these meetings. Souls are continuing to seek the Lord and getting saved. Please continue to pray because the meeting is not over yet and conviction has been strong and increasing. One more day remains and we need the blessings of the Lord.

Deception
Bro. Ernest Benion Jr.

Text: Galatians 6:7
All of us are one decision away from being deceived. Deception is not something far away or just for a sinner, it is waiting for each one of us.
All you have to do is sit here in this meeting with us and do nothing – that will deceive you.
Galatians 6:7-8
Deception is the thought, that, even if I do plunge into sin, for me it will be different, it will not happen to me.
Some live with merely a profession yet no real fire inside. On the outside everything may look okay – that is deception.
Deception works in many different ways.
When parents conceive the idea that they have all that their children need and fail to take them to Jesus, they are deceived.
You can not hold a grudge against the saints and still be in unity. If you hold a separate thought or opinion and think that you can still be a part of them, you are deceived.
He is not dealing with something that you do not know about, but rather with what you do know about. If you know that you need to be saved, that is all that He is asking of you.
Deception is always unbelievable, gets worse consistenly, and is the very basis of sin.
James 4:17
Acts 5:1-4
What happened in Acts is happening more often than what we see with our eyes. Be very careful what you do in a spousal relationship, refuse to enter into an unholy alliance. Remember, there are no secrets with God. You do not have to deal with deception now if you do not want to, but no one in eternity will be deceived. Each individual will know exactly where they are and why.

We are thankful to report that a number of souls that had been repeatedly attending during the week were gloriously saved tonight! The joy of salvation on their faces as they prayed through was unmistakably visible to those present. Please remember them in your prayers that they would be established and deeply rooted in the Lord.

Conviction
Bro. Ernest Benion Jr.

The burden of the message was directed to those that were under conviction. Even if you do not get saved or remember anything that was read or sung here tonight when you leave, conviction won’t leave you, it will stay with you.
The Holy Ghost knows no boundries and no limitations. In fact, the Holy Ghost is so relentless it makes its way everywhere.
God uses the very things of nature to deal with you. Really, it was the Holy Ghost that brought you here tonight, it was not your own choice.
John 16:8-9
When you sit here and it feels like everyone is looking at you, those are the eyes of the Lord that you feel looking at you. It is the chief work of the Holy Ghost to deal with us, without it we cannot be saved.
Psalm 32:3-4
Conviction is supposed to make you speak out. The longer you stay silent, the harder it will get to speak out. If you want the weight of conviction to ease on you a little bit, start confessing.
This experience is the same for everyone because it is the same Holy Ghost.

More visitors out tonight and a number of repeats.

Weary of Repenting
Bro. Ernest Benion Jr.

Text: Jeremiah 15:6
This particular “repenting” means the staying of the hand of God from destroying us. God is waiting to pour out His judgment and He is tired of holding back. In human terms, He is “sick and tired” of forbearing with you, but not willing that you should perish. He has sent numerous messages your way in the right language, at the right time, and He is weary of the lack of response.
Genesis 6:3
God’s striving with you is not infinite – you only have a limited amount of time with the dealings of the Lord. The people in Genesis did not know that God had already determined 120 years for them and not one day more. He has already set his limit on many of you and will not deal with you forever. There is only one thing for you to do now: Do what you know you have to do.
God is a merciful God; He left the people with a sign. There should have been enough curiosity in the people to really find out what was going on in Noah’s day. Just seeing the animals doing what was contrary to nature should have been enough for them to see that God was forbearing His judgment. After the door was shut, there were people who began seeking God in earnest, but it was too late. God had determined 120 years. How many more animals do you need to see? How many more years do you have left?
Genesis 18:20-21
God is listening and watching and He is still coming down to see what you are doing. It is all adding to the fury of His wrath.
Genesis 19:12-14
God is saying “Go, get whoever you can.” He has sent us for the purpose of destruction and anyone who will not get out will be destroyed. You can mock all you want to, but it is God who will have the last laugh. When the Judgment begins, mercy will not be available – God is weary of holding back.
Jonah 1:2
These people had a great privilege, when God announced to them that they had 40 days. After only one day of hearing the preaching of the message, they knew. They didn’t wait until the 39th day, but rather fasted and prayed. Even their animals fasted and God stayed His hand.
God is through playing with people, so you are the one in danger. The Ninevites are watching what you will do with what you hear. Will you take care of business and do what you need to do?

The Lord is dealing with hearts and we have been having a number of repeat visitors. Please continue to pray, that, as the meeting progresses, souls would receive the help they need.

Knowing the Time
Bro. Ernest Benion Jr.

Text: Romans 13:11
We are a time conscious people – that is undeniable.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-2
Everything you do is based on time: You get up at a certain time, you agree to meet someone at a certain time; and if someone is late, you go back and look at the time. Our bodies show the effects of time and you can feel time. Everyone knows that there is a time when they must die. There’s no stopping it when the time comes. The most important thing for us to do is recognize the time. There is general time and then there is God’s time. When God says it’s Winter, you live accordingly; and when God says it’s Summer, you don’t go out wearing gloves and a coat. God expects us to know what time it is.
Matthew 25:5
The ten virgins all slumbered and slept because it was nighttime.
Revelation 3:16
Revelation 8:1
There was silence in Heaven because people didn’t recognize the time. When there should have been a great, joyful noise, there was silence. You have to know the time so you can be stirred every day and you can’t afford to miss what’s going on. Everyone has a sense of time; you are responsible.
Romans 13:11
Sleepiness is right next to you. If you don’t wake up, you’ll crawl right back into bed and reset the alarm. You’ll sleep another hour and it will be forever too late.
We don’t have time to wait for you. Hurry up! If you don’t do everything possible to keep awake, you will go back to sleep. If you’re always late, God will fire you!
1 Samuel 17:29
The army of Israel was completely inactive. They were just taking all that Goliath was telling them. When David came on the scene, he was determined to do something about it.
1 Peter 5:8
Be vigilant! Take heed to every change in climate! If you feel the temperature has dropped one degree, it’s time to turn up the heat.
Romans 13:11
Heaven is closer now than it was when you got saved. Most people lose out just before the finish line. Don’t give up – know the time.
Being stirred is your only protection!

The First Commandment
Bro. Ernest Benion Jr.

Text: Ephesians 6:2
OBEY – it’s a word that has become a rarity and it has almost become vulgar. People don’t want to hear it, yet it’s the first and only commandment. After all, this is the “whole duty of man”.
Genesis 2:16-17
People have debated what kind of tree this was. Was it an apple or a pear? What was the “knowledge of good and evil”? It doesn’t matter. God only asked Adam to do one thing – not to touch it. All He had to do was obey.
Some people just have a problem obeying. All that man is supposed to be doing is summed up in one “ugly” word – obey. But its NOT ugly for the saved person.
Ephesians 6:1-2
Parents want their children to obey, but yet the reason many children rebel is because they don’t see their parents obey.
You need to learn to obey when it hurts. If you need to obey, it will necessarily be something you had no intentions of doing.
You got saved by obeying; do you want to stay saved? OBEY.
Husbands, obey your wives. Parents, obey your children. It doesn’t matter if a donkey or a rooster tells you what to do, if they’re right you just need to obey.
You were created for obedience, so there is no way out of it. You will either obey the Devil or the Lord.
2 Kings 5:8-13
Naaman expected Elisha to do everything. He didn’t want to do what the servant told him, but you have to obey before God will do the great and mighty thing.
Philippians 2:5-7
Servants do what they are told. Christ came in a low way and died the death of a malefactor – this is real power. Everyone wants to be accepted and the key is obedience.
“The greatness of a man’s power is in the measure of his surrender.”

We are very thankful how the Lord is blessing us right from the beginning. We had a wonderful song service. A number of visitors came out. Please continue to pray for the meeting and for the souls that have been invited, as we are expecting the Lord to do great things.

March 2-8, 2009 – Revival Meetings at the Church of God congregation in Aylmer, Ontario, Canada with Bro. Ernest Benion Jr., of the Church of God congregation in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA.

My Record Will Be There

In a day that is not far,
At the blazing judgment bar,
Even now the awful summons I can hear;
I must meet the mighty God,
I must face His holy Word,
I must stand before the judgment bar.

Refrain

Oh, my record will be there,
Be its pages dark or fair,
When I stand before the judgment bar.
When the books shall open be,
In that morning by and by,
Oh, my record, oh, my record will be there.

I must meet each broken vow,
That I hold so lightly now,
Every heartache I have caused, each sigh, each tear;
Things that time cannot erase,
I must meet them face to face,
When I stand before the judgment bar.

Every secret lust and thought
There shall be to judgment brought,
When the Lord in all His glory shall appear;
All the deeds of darkest night
Shall come out to greet the light,
When I stand before the judgment bar.

I must meet my cankered gold,
For whose greed my life was sold,
It shall mock me in the judgment’s lurid glare;
Saying we have sold for naught,
All the Savior’s blood has bought,
You must stand before the judgment bar.

Let me turn and seek the Lord,
Let me trust His holy Word,
Let me bow and call upon Him while He’s near;
Then when I my record face,
He will answer in my place
When I stand before the judgment bar.
