Noah preached 120 years - before the flood

•  Genesis 6:3... And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.

• 2 Peter 2:5...And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;

• Hebrews 11:7... By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.

• The spirit of Christ was in Noah a preacher of righteousness...1 Peter 3:19, 20...By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.

• Matthew 24:37-39, “But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.”

• 1 Peter 4:6...For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.

Don't forget to use our "Simple System of Theology"

This Simple system of Theology (in side-bar) is a God-given system that originally started with Brother Lindsey. It was developed to help people to learn the Bible. Having studied Brother Lindsey's ministry and Theology for over two decades God helped me to develop the system that is now posted at this site...for public ministry. Brother Lindsey "freely" published his material and his last request was to scatter it. I carry on that request today as God has opened doors around the globe. We are here to "scatter" the ministry that Brother Lindsey left behind. The System of Theology is being developed to assist preachers and  teachers to reach the world for Christ and to teach sound Bible Truth.

Faith

What is faith? Where does faith come from? Why doesn't everyone have faith?

Faith is a part of man that is used to focus in on God our Savior. When man is enlightened to the things of God faith can be utilized. Faith is exercised when the power of God's Word "stirs" the human soul to turn to our Savior for personal Salvation. Faith allows man to be touched by the forgiveness of sins that comes from Christ. Man is convicted when realization of Christ shows the hidden darkness of unbelief and rejection within. Man is "prodded" by God to dig deep and give up the concealed darkness of rejection of a Savior's love for fallen man. Faith comes to man by hearing. Faith gives consent to God through acceptance of the truth behind God's Word. Realization and understanding of the power of Christ (heard in the message) gives man something to put his faith into. Faith in Christ gives man something hold on to. Christ gives man something to never let go of. Faith works out "after" God works in. The outward work of man's faith in Christ is termed as "faithfulness". The eyes of faith see Christ as Savior and Redeemer. Christ's person, Christ's  power, and Christ's presence is understood by faith and not by sight.  Faith is the practice of a child of God. You become faithful when the reality of Christ takes you over. Salvation comes in when you trust Christ. Faith trusts Christ's redemption for holiness in this life and Heaven beyond the grave. Faith allows man to get away from self. Faith allows man to do the will of God. The attitude of faith is renunciation of sin. Faith is produced in confirmation of the truth about Christ. Faith pays attention to the things of God. Faith makes men "whole". A faithful man is a persuaded man, a confident man, and a man given to Christ. Resisting the Devil is a part of faith. Faith reaches out and touches God's Grace so much that it allows the sinner to become a new creature in Christ. A man of faith "realizes" that God's Grace found in Christ is the most important thing in life.  Faith is placed in the will of God. Faith is built on the Promises of God. The hearing of faith "increases" man's knowledge about Christ. The Bible is man's Word of Faith. Learning the Bible "adds to" our faith in Christ. Christians "continue" in the faith as they desire to learn, hear, and be taught in God's Word. Romans 3:24-25 tells us the heart of a faithful man is "Justified freely by the power of God's Grace"...

Romans 10:14-17...How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Holy Hubert Lindsey...(photos) preaching the Open Air

I heard Brother Lindsey state many times that he had led "millions" to Christ from every walk of life. What a beautiful testimony! Since this Blog has been published I've had the marvellous privilege to personally converse with numerous people(from around the nation) who were affected or converted by Brother Lindsey's ministry for Christ. As a minister for Christ myself I've found it to be an honor and a very uplifting privilege to meet so many from around the world who have turned to Christ for personal Salvation. Glory!

These photos below were recently sent to me so I felt it appropriate to republish them in honor to Brother Lindsey's ministry for Christ. Thank you all for the uplifting testimonies that have sustained good Christian walks for so many years. Keep those testimonies coming in. The Churches on Trial Blog encourages all of you to share your testimonies for Christ as they bring honor the God of our Salvation. Your testimonies can be as effective for Christ as preached sermons. keep them coming!

Holy Hubert Lindsey (photos) preaching the "Open Air"...1970 Vortex 1...Oregon

Brother Lindsey preached Christ in the "Open Air" in Oregon, 1970. This event was called "Vortex 1" that all of you must read about on the Internet. These were very tubulent years as alot was going on in the US. Christ sent Holy Hubert there for a reason...to win men and women to Christ! I was told by the man that gave me these photos that Holy Hubert greeted Huey Newton (an activist with the Black Panther movement) at this event with a hugh hug...full of love! Holy Hubert pointed fingers, preached Hell's Fire...but he also loved people enough to carry the Gospel of Christ to them. Hubert's Gospel was a Christ centered Gospel that impacted people tremendously and ministered in the Spirit. I have had people contact me that were "changed by Brother Lindey's ministry 40 years ago". What a testimony for Christ!

I've been personally advocating the theology and ministry of Holy Hubert Lindsey for 23 years. Brother Lindsey wanted his material out there. Him and I spoke about this often before he died! Brother Lindsey left behind his entire life of Theology and ministry in audio form that were preserved on audio cassettes by the hundreds. I have been transposing these to CD format and publishing on the Internet for years! Brother Lindsey also left behind books (the Kingdom series..a two volume set) that need to be re-published for the cause of Christ...as the modern Church era is so mixed up and confused in theology. So much knowledge...so much confusion...so much work to be done for Christ! These books I speak of are actually text books that teach people how to rightly divide the Holy Scriptures. Try to get them every way possible.

At the Churches on Trial Blog I currently am publishing Brother Lindsey's timeless teaching of holiness on audio/video. For the past 8 years I've been compiling information and writing about Hubert Lindsey and his ministry for Christ. It's been a beautiful experience as Iv'e met and corresponded with people all over this nation who were touched or impacted with Brother Lindsey's Gospel about the Lord Jesus Christ. I have actually heard from "many" who were touched by his preaching 40 years ago...and are still Christian today! Glory! What a testimony! What substance! What foundation!

For years I've been attempting to write a biography titled, "The Walking Bible" a documentary on Holy Hubert Lindsey. As God allows it will come together on time. I also posted these photos on the Holy Hubert Lindsey Facebook at the following link.

The humanity of Christ; Christ's descension and ascension; and Christ's power behind the preaching of the Gospel

The humanity of Christ illuminates the only human being that ever lived (his entire life) without sin. Without mysticism, spiritualization, or misinterpretation of the scriptures Christ’s humanity refers to him coming down from heaven (as a man of no reputation) into earth’s present conditions during that time.

John 6:38…For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will…

Eph 4:8-10…Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)

Through a comparison between heaven and earth; and Christ being both God and man… he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth… simply illustrates an enthroned Christ stepping down from His heavenly position and becoming a servant to all the earth.

Phil 2:7…But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men…

Eph 4:9-10...(Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? He that descended is the same also that ascended

Love for fallen man is why Christ came down. When Christ descended to earth (became a man) He encountered the worst conditions of life:

1. He was born in a barren land
2. He was born to an enslaved people
3. He was born in a manger
4. He caught a fish to pay taxes
5. He was a man of no reputation (33 yrs.)
6. He lived a lonesome life
7. He was a man of sorrow
8. His Apostles forsook Him at the trial
9. He died alone at Calvary
10. The father turned His back on Him
11. He died as a criminal
12. He died as a slave
13. He died a hideous death of crucifixion

For centuries scripture verses have been taken out of context and formed into traditional fable like stories. These are misleading and harmful to any student of the Bible. The spirit of Christ compelled Noah to preach the truth of righteousness. He preached to the ungodly for 120 yrs.

Gen 6:5-6…And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually, and it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.

1 Peter 3:19-20…By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.

2 Peter 2:5…And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;

The Spirits in prison which were sometime disobedient (1 Peter 3:19, 20) had no reference to Satan, demons, or Christ’s descension into hell, but scripturally dealt with Noah’s preaching toward fallen man; the wickedness of man’s heart; and ungodliness upon the earth.

Historically through the Roman church the “Apostles Creed” is the origin of the mystical fable concerning Christ’s descension into Hell.

Christ descended first into the lower parts (worst conditions) of the earth and atonement was made for humanity through His suffering and sacrifice on the cross. On the third day (after His body was placed in a tomb) He resurrected and walked among men for a short time. He then ascended back to heaven (from which He came) and is now seated at the right hand of the Father.

When mysticism, spiritualization, or fable like emphasis is placed on Christ “descending into Hell” the magnitude of “His Ascension” is diminished. This is misleading; a hindrance toward Biblical understanding; and contrary to the Glory of Christ.

When Christ ascended back to heaven He provided freedom and liberty in the Spirit; released men from bondages; and delivered them from the captivity of sin and the flesh. His light overcame the powers of darkness. Through the power of His Divine mercy, love, and grace Christ sanctifies and leads men away from an evil world and places them into the security of His own body. By faith and obedience to Christ, a child of God continues to be His property, under His Divine ownership.

Eph 4:8-10…Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive…

1 Cor 6:20…For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

Christ’s ascension took him from humanity back to a heavenly position where He now rules and reigns from the right hand of the Father. From this position He also governs the body of Christ, His church, and gives gifts unto men so others can learn, hear, and be taught.

Eph 4:8-10…Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men vs.11…and He gave some; apostles; and some prophets; and some evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;

The power of preaching Christ saves man from sin, disobedience, and judgment. God sealed Noah and his family into the ark and saved them from the Flood; likewise this same power baptizes man into Christ; takes away all guilt from sin; and saves him from a judgment to come.

1 Peter 3:20-22…when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ: Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God;

Faith comes by hearing the Word of God. The power of the Gospel message ministers Spirit, truth, and righteousness to those who receive. The Gospel was preached so man could be changed and live according to the will of God.

1 Peter 4:6…For this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the Spirit.(referring to Noah, the Prophets, etc.)

Heb 4:2…For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. (Referring to Moses and the Children of Israel)

Galatians 3:8…And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, in thee shall all nations be blessed.

The power of God unto salvation has always come through preaching. Hearing, learning, and being taught the Bible in its proper context is among the greatest of God’s gifts in the body of Christ.

Eph 4:8-10…Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men vs.11…and He gave some; apostles; and some prophets; and some evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;

John 6:45…It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.

The true and only Gospel is:

1 Cor 15:1-4…Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

Link to Hubert Lindsey and Rick Roehm preaching audios

This beautiful link Scroll and select audio (that I plan to include often on this Blog) has been made by dear Brother in Christ...Jim Allen. Jim is a faithful attendee at the Upper Room, our New Testament Church in Williamsburg, Ohio. Jim started this ministry posting Brother Lindsey's archives of teaching and preaching material a few weeks ago. By the Grace of God another door has been opened to publish our own Sunday Night Service and Thursday Bible Study from the Upper Room. God has opened the door for Rick Roehm, the author of this Blog and preacher at the Upper Room to publish his own Gospel Message at this same link along with my dear Brother in Christ, Hubert Lindsey. By the Grace of God we are getting this "Rich Gospel Message" outside the confines of the Four Walls at our local body...The Upper Room. Christ has made the way. All Glory is given to Him. We magnify the Christ we preach because He has blessed our lives richly. Again here's the link to those beautiful audio recordings...that include The Beatitudes, The fruit of the Gospel message, Rightly dividing God's Word, and The two Biblical crucifixions.

Pointing people to Christ...

One purpose of this Blog is to tell people and point people to the person Christ; so Christ can become real to their hearts and lives. Christ is real to this writer and I really mean it!

Did you ever notice how ungodly the world is around you? The vulgarity and profanity that goes on. Do you remember how, before Christ gave you a clean heart, how you used to be? Just look at the sensuality and dirty living going on in the world. The lust of the flesh the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. The sinful nature man rules the hearts of the unsaved world and teaches man everything ...but who Christ is. I speak of Christ who is real...a Christ who cleanses the soul and removes guilt from the human conscience. I speak of Christ who gives man a holy heart and a right conduct in life. This Christ I speak of makes men and women "new creations" with a new standard of living.

The Devil has field days roaming around like a lion seeking whom he may devour. Drug addiction is at an all time high in 2009. When I mention drug addiction I speak of legal addictions as well as illicit addictions as some doctors seem to prescribe anything you want. Just look around you'll see it! Alcoholism and strong drink plagues society with an acceptable, lax, and legal means of social pleasure and even getting a legal buzz. You have legalized gambling (even in some Churches as fund raisers) and worldly pleasures that are wrecking families and marriages by the thousands. These socially accepted things oppose Christ.

Why am I picking on these worldly things? They cause unsaved people to miss the power and person of Christ. These worldly things keep the unsaved world mentally occupied and tied up. These things keep the mind and interests of humanity focused "worldly things" rather that Jesus. This is why God wants His servants to tell the ungodly world about Jesus' saving Grace. This is why God wants Jesus' power to be told about. He knows the necessity of getting men delivered from sin and from the world. He knows the necessity to make Christ known. God doesn't want the unsaved world to miss Christ...or Christ's delivering power that saves!

I preach Jesus daily. I preach at work... I preach on this Blog... I preach at the Upper Room, and now the Holy Spirit is leading me to preach out in the world. The Spirit of God prompts this preacher to get outside the four walls. The Holy Spirit prompts this preacher to tell the world about how real Christ is. The Spirit has made this writer a witness for Christ. Woe to me if I preach not the Gospel of Christ. God has shown this preacher how ungodly the world really is...but through love and compassion for fellow man I tell people about Christ and His saving Grace. I point people to Him...to His holy presence...and tell them about Christ's power to deliver the unsaved man from the disease of sin.

Yes, sin is the disease...but Jesus is the cure. Yes, life does have many problems...but Jesus is problem solver. That's why I point people to Jesus. That's why I stir people with these blogs. That's what Gods wants me to do. Yes, God wants this writer to point people to Christ! I also admit... this ungodly world sometimes even tries to consume this preacher...but the living Christ I serve... simply takes over and makes intercession for His servant. That's why I trust Christ so much. He's never let me down.

Rom 8:32...He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

1 Cor 2:12... Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
