Holy Hubert Lindsey (audio)...1990 Sermon at the Full Gospel Businessmen Convention in, Seattle Washington

Below is Rick Roehm's first audio post of Holy Hubert Lindsey... so please "excuse" the quality as there were many unknown hoops to jump through that degraded the quality on this trial run. After clicking the start button you may have to nudge the arrow slightly to the right to make the player work ...but it will work I promise! Don't know why it has a glitch but it does! Never-the-less this recording will be worth it. Also video player will improve with time and experience... by the Grace of God. I worked (last night) 6 hours (2 hours this morning) to make this recording happen! A little tired this Sunday morning... so please bear with me! (whew!)

On the positive side (after making player work!) Brother Lindsey expounds on the "Full Gospel" and the "Full Salvation experience" of Entire Sanctification on this recording. The content of this message is very enlightening to those who desire "more" in their personal Salvation experience with Christ.

May the Lord Jesus Christ open doors in the future to "scatter" these messages of the true Gospel across the Internet. May they reach men and women across the world for the cause of Christ. Brother Lindsey wanted these messages to be "scattered"! Two things Brother Lindsey left me with before he died; One was to realize, "A true heart is never troubled"; and two was to, "Take these messages and the knowledge that were left behind for us, and scatter them"! This writer understands the need to do that very thing. May the "Churches on Trial Christian Blog" and "this writer's endeavors for Christ" bless your hearts and lives as much they do... this writer.

By the Grace of God...I do this work.

Is Paradise and Heaven...the same place?

I heard Hubert touch on this a few times on the Churches on Trial.

The Apostle Paul called Paradise...the third Heaven.
2 Cor 12:1-4... It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord. And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.

There are three heavens taught in the Bible...
1. The physical universe...the sun...the moon...the stars...the planets...etc.
2. The atmospheric conditions...the sky...the firmaments, oxygen, stratosphere, etc.
3. Literal Heaven or the Third Heaven...where the souls of just men are made perfect...

Heb 12:23...To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,

Scriptures teach "Paradise" is the third Heaven...a place where "just men go when they die". Just men are men pardoned by God... from sin and unrighteousness. The soul's of "just men" go to Paradise in Heaven and receive eternal life. The souls of "unjust men" go to Hell... and receive eternal damnation.

Christ was God in the flesh. When He preached during His earthly ministry He still had power to forgive sin. Christ pardoned one thief that hung on the cross beside him and told that thief,

Luke 23:43... And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

That thief was no longer a convict... he was a "convert". He was converted enough to be with Christ in Paradise. I look forward to meeting both Christ and the converted thief when I get to the other side.

Distinction between Justification and Sanctification

Distinction between Justification and Sanctification

Justification deals with “the sinner”; Sanctification deals with “the believer”

Justification · When you repent · saved from the transgression · freed from breaking the law · sins forgiven · the new birth · puts off the old man · empties out · instantaneous · upon · double minded · wants to be controlled · power from redemption · being sealed with the Spirit · work begun · baptism into Christ · God forgives what you do Hubert Lindsey showed me this in 1990...

Sanctification · When you die to what you are · severed from the carnal life · removes the adamic nature · sin nature destroyed · baptized with the Holy Ghost · puts on the new man · fills up · instantaneous · Within · Single minded · controlled · the work of the Holy Spirit · being filled with the Spirit · work complete · Christ baptizing with Spirit · God destroys what you are

It wasn't Hubert Lindsey...it was the power of the Gospel he preached!

I do admit Brother Lindsey’s revelation of the Gospel was phenomenal. His ability to expound on and preach the Gospel was profound and very much Spirit filled. Hubert’s Gospel was clearly the same Gospel that God revealed to the Apostle Paul! What Brother Lindsey preached was in line to the letter with the language of the New Testament Epistles. If you listen to various teachings in the mainstream today you’ll notice these are sometimes based more "on telling men what to do" or "man’s religious opinion" more so than the true Gospel according to the Prophets. Jesus described what the Gospel actually is in the following verse.

Luke 24:44-47…And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

When Brother Lindsey preached the Gospel it was always a Christ centered message (soul stirring and life changing) that ministered deep into the souls of men. His preaching ministered "life through the Spirit" and "convicted sinful men to turn away from evil and wrongdoing". The truth of the Gospel prompts Christian’s to study and to rightly divide God’s Word. Hubert's messages encouraged all listeners to learn about and keep themselves under the power of Divine Grace. Brother Lindsey’s preaching stirred people to a consciousness and accountability to the presence of a living Christ. Hubert emphasized how people “should not” depend as much on the council of man as they should on the "council of a Living Christ". The "traditions of men, the opinions of men, and the imaginations of men" did not have any merit according to Brother Lindsey’s Gospel. Hubert did not believe in making addition to God’s Word in any manner. Addition to God’s Word is what prompted the Jews to write the Talmudic writings by "adding their own interpretation to the Torah".

The Gospel according to the Prophets shows people how to depend solely on the person of Christ and not just the pastor of the Church. Hubert's illustration of the Gospel built faith as the truth about Christ was confirmed through the Word he preached and taught! It's the Gospel that brings forth miracles of healing and deliverance. It's the Gospel that stirs the conscience of man. It was only Huberts stance for the Gospel that allowed God to lead men to deliverance from the bondage of sin; and allowed the sick to receive healing from the power of Calvary that he preached. Signs, wonders, and miracles followed Brother Lindsey’s ministry as Christ said they would....but these miracles will follow anyone's ministry that preaches the same Gospel. That was Christ's Great commission!

Mark 16:15-17…Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe;

The greatest evidence that stemmed from the Gospel that Brother Lindsey preached was the morally changed heart and life of a sinner. Ministering the truth about holiness was Brother Lindsey’s personal conviction and life. Hubert knew any man that received a moral change by the Grace of God was a "miracle given by Christ from the Throneroom". The changed heart and life of a sinner is a sign from God that comes from the Gospel that Christ commissioned all men to preach. Hubert’s Gospel always produced that very power. That power was a dynamic power that morally changes the hearts and lives of people. Hubert’s Gospel also instructed Christians to live a sanctified life, holy and without sin! There was evidence and fruit that blossomed from the Gospel that Brother Lindsey preached. As living fruit produced from that very Gospel this writer testifies with joy of such a great experience by the Grace of God! (That's why I write this blog and preach the Gospel myself!)

Unlike many modern day messages Hubert’s Gospel goes beyond Calvary. Brother Lindsey always placed emphasis on the present tense Christ in the Throneroom and not just the cross of Calvary...2009 years ago. The true meaning of the Gospel placed emphasis on the Living Christ in the Throneroom now, today, in the present tense. Hubert Lindsey emphasized over and over again how man needed to be every minute, every hour, and every day conscious to Christ’s power and presence in their hearts and lives. That Gospel was same as Paul’s Gospel beautifully described in the following verses.

Rom 1:1-5…Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God, (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,) Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead: By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:

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:

It's not's you, or me, or Hubert Lindsey that morally changes people...it's the power of the Gospel...AMEN! Be a witness for Christ. Testify to the power of the Gospel. Tell the world about Christ! He will save, He will change, and he will bless your hearts and lives. To Christ be the Glory!

Understanding of the doctrine of Law and Grace can deliver man from erroneous doctrine

Brother Lindsey made many contributions to the Body of Christ throughout his 70+ years in the ministry. One contribution this writer knows of...that sticks out far above all the rest was the foundational teaching Hubert left behind on how to make the distinction between Law and Grace. Hubert also made an audio recording on that subject that I hope to post at this site...in the near future.

This writer personally testifies to the blessing that stems from Hubert's Law and Grace teaching. I personally was delivered from the prison house of erroneous doctrine after recognizing truth and right division of the Bible... in 1989. As a result of that deliverance this writer has endeavored 19 years to preserve Brother Lindsey’s ministry, and complete audio library. Today, in 2009 this writer can't emphasize enough how Hubert Lindsey’s foundational teaching on the doctrine of Law and Grace is so very important to "all" students and teachers of God's Word. The doctrine of Law and Grace offers life changing results that fortify anyone's understanding of the Holy Scripture and their personal relationship with Christ through the Spirit. Understanding of the distinction between Law given to Israel, and Grace given to the Church can offer life-changing protection against so much deception that's caused from erroneous teachings...rampant in our present religious world.

Moreover this writer understands a detriment that stems from being taught to mix up Bible… by unlearned teachers. God used Brother Lindsey to bring freedom through Divine Grace and deliverance from the bondage of the Law...to this writer’s heart and life. That's only another reason why I preach the Gospel and write these Blogs.

This writer so vividly recalls how a mixed up Bible knowledge can lay a course of deception; lay a course for failure to God; and lay a course for a frustrated relationship with Christ.

Understanding the distinction between Law and Grace...will do the same for anyone that has a studious attitude toward God. Brother Lindsey had a God given ability and ministry that showed "anyone and everyone" how to rightly divide the Holy Scriptures. Hubert knew that it's the Holy Spirit that reveals “truth” to the heart of man. Hubert only laid the groundwork... this writer carries it on... but it's God that enables people to recognize and understand the benefits of making the distinction between Divine Law given to Israel and Divine Grace given to the Church! Glory!

At the initial Salvation experience people have very little knowledge of the distinction made between Law and Grace; Jew and Gentile; and Israel and the Church. After Christ is accepted many converts have a strong desire to study the Word of God. Unfortunately, "some" are being taught to run everything in the Old and New Testament together thus taking the Bible from its proper context. God’s Word is therefore wrongly divided! Brother Lindsey contended with strange doctrines and numerous false concepts in the 60’s, 70’s, and the 80’s. He acknowledged many mainstream movements who were teaching errneous doctrines. It was obvious then and it's still obvious today! The only way anyone can recognize erroneous doctrines and false teachings is through study...study...study! That's why it's so important to "get back to the Bible".

In the last twenty years in a very subtle manner certain movements that teach erroneous doctrines have crept into the Charismatic circles across this nation. From experience this writer remembers how deceptive those doctrines really are. Some are damnable and even heresy! They have mixed up the Old and New covenant teachings and run everything in the Bible together. They teach "Spiritual Israel" from the parables and by doing so they have done great harm to the truth about God's Word and harmed many new converts that have come to Christ. They mix up the teachings of Christ under Law with the teachings of the Apostles under Grace… after the resurrection of Christ. They have misled thousands to a frustration; failure; or even a loss of Salvation through wrong division of God’s Word. They have plagued the Church-world with countless misconceptions that they call Bible truth.

Kingdom now theology advocates man building the Kingdom (instead of Christ) in preparation for the return of Christ is taught inside many Charismatic circles. These groups miss the fact that the Kingdom of Heaven message was a message for Israel to accept the Messiahship of Christ. Kingdom Now theology is built upon spiritualization of God’s Word and not the Word rightly divided in relation to Old and New Testament teaching. Hubert’s teaching on Law and Grace "exposes and delivers" man from the bondage of such teachings. This writer was once tangled in Kingdom Now theology but thanks be to God He sent Hubert Lindsey to sway this writer’s thinking and understanding toward... Law and Grace. It was this writer's understanding of the distinction between Law and Grace that helped me to break away from the bondages caused from erroneous teaching.

Hubert Lindsey a man sent from Christ and Elder at the Church at Birmingham was ministering on a public radio broadcast in Detroit Mi. in 1989 when this writer was liberated from erroneous doctrine. With gladness this writer testifies to being touched by Brother Lindsey’s excellent ministry for Christ. God was using Brother Lindsey to preach the Gospel over radio waves and teaching men how to rightly divide the Holy Scriptures. Personal study and right division of the Old and New Testament records taught this writer how to become more dependant on the Word rightly divided and less dependant on the "opinions of man and the modern religious world"!

2 Tim 2:15… Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Holy Hubert Lindsey, God's preacher of Righteousness

Hubert was an unforgettable preacher of righteousness and always preached with holy boldness. Holy boldness enabled Hubert Lindsey to advocate righteousness from God through the person of Christ he preached. Righteousness from God automatically condemns sin and man's sinful conduct. Hubert Lindsey preached righteousness without deviation but he also did what it took to get men to Christ. Alcohol and strong drink was at the top of Brother Lindsey’s sin list. Having lived during the prohibition Hubert Lindsey knew the detriment in society that was caused from alcohol.

Billy Sunday a great man of God in the early 1900’s and advocate against strong drink pleaded with Brother Lindsey before he died to preach against alcohol and strong drink. Hubert never took Billy Sunday’s admonition lightly and even testified often about their acquaintance. As a matter of fact Hubert preached against alcohol and strong drink his entire life in the ministry. Hubert knew every scripture in the Bible that referred to alcohol and strong drink. According to the Bible... alcohol and strong drink is a sin regardless of whether it’s done in... moderation or in excess.

Hubert always made it clear how the Bible teaches about the two types of wine…fermented and unfermented. Jesus (God in the flesh) could not have drank fermented wine because it was a sin. Jesus was without sin. Jesus did however; drink fruit of the vine which was "unfermented grape juice".

· Mark 14:25… Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God.

As a preacher of righteousness Hubert Lindsey did more than just preach against alcohol and strong drink. Hubert preached Christ and the standard of holiness that comes through the person of Christ. According to the Bible and the righteousness of God through Christ, Hubert condemned sin and wrongdoing through preaching the Gospel and showing man what he really is in the presence of Christ. Hubert preached with honor and dignity to the holiness of Christ. Hubert’s Gospel showed sinful men how to get away from evil and how to live according to God’s righteousness. Hubert’s personal obligation to Christ was never taken lightly. Hubert always felt in his own heart he couldn’t afford to fail God; or to fail his obligation to the ministry. Hubert kept himself “surrendered” and “in subjection” to Christ at all times. Hubert never compromised his preaching nor did he water down the Word of truth God revealed to his heart . Hubert Lindsey never allowed any excuse for any man to sin for any reason. No exceptions! He would not offer the Christian any justifiable means to sin against God. As a preacher of righteousness Hubert taught, "that sin was not essential in the heart of a child of God".

· 1 John 3:9… Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin

In 2001 Hubert Lindsey personally told this writer, never to apologize to the world for being sanctified; and never to compromise to live the sanctified life. After pondering that “word of knowledge” deeply, this writer has concluded, “The world says that no man can live without sin, but the Holy Spirit and the Bible both say you can”. There is no shame for having a clean heart and living holy... but the religious world wants to put you on guilt trip for having such. Enlightenment to the sanctified heart is one of the greatest gifts any child of God can ever have in this life. It has taken this writer year’s to understand the depth of those words spoken from my dear brother Hubert Lindsey.

As a preacher of righteousness myself, it has also taken me years to understand man’s enlightenment to the truth about holiness. Brother Lindsey was touched with the gift of discernment. Brother Lindsey was a preacher of righteousness and knew the fruit of the Spirit imputed to man through the blessing of Entire Sanctification. Understanding of that very fruitfulness by the Grace of God has also been imputed to this writer! That's why this Blog was created! “This writer will never compromise the truth of the Holy Spirit’s work in the human soul. This writer will never apologize for living the way Christ wants him to live. As Holy Hubert Lindsey always loudly proclaimed with victory in his heart, “G-L-O-R-Y”! This writer also proclaims, “G-L-O-R-Y” as he means it with all his heart!”

Hubert ministered that “word of knowledge” from the nursing home just months before he passed. At that time he was flooding this writer’s mind, pen, and notebook with knowledge about the doctrine of Entire Sanctification. Over the course of two weeks Hubert preached daily and this writer received Hubert’s wisdom with gladness as mounds of notes were being recorded. With great depth and detail Hubert systematically laid out the complete doctrine of Entire Sanctification and used countless Bible references to fortify its truth. It seemed overwhelming at that time. All this writer could do was to take notes. Hubert continued preaching until he became too weak to speak. Hubert Lindsey preached righteousness and holiness all the days of his life even until his final hours where he died in a nursing home in Raleigh, North Carolina March 30, 2003.

Hubert Lindsey was tutored by a Jewish Rabbi who was later converted by Christ

During an earlier part of Brother Lindsey’s ministry he was influenced and tutored by a Jewish Rabbi who had traveled with him for 15 years. Rabbi Ziegler imparted a wealth of knowledge that Hubert was able to incorporate into his own personal understanding of the Bible. Hubert learned from Rabbi Ziegler that "Talmudic teaching" was Israel’s interpretation of the Torah. Hubert learned why the formation of the Talmud caused Israel to deviate from the authority of the Torah. Hubert learned how the nation of Israel under the influence of Pagan religion from Grecian captivity, Babylonian captivity, Medo-Persian captivity, and Roman captivity added their own interpretation to the Torah. Through the Ages and through various captivities Israel formed Talmudic teaching and taught it according to “the tradition of the Elders”. Christ contended with Talmudic teaching during His earthly ministry. Examine closely the following words of Christ ...recorded by Mark.

Mark 7:8-9…For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.

One of Hubert’s best testimonies for Christ was how he personally had the wonderful privilege to win Rabbi Ziegler to the person of Christ. Throughout his ministry Hubert spoke often of how he had challenged Rabbi Ziegler with a Prophetic Truth from Genesis 49:10. This Prophetic utterance recorded in Genesis pertained to the coming of the Messiah (Shiloh in the Hebrew text) and the authority of Israel’s Mosaic Law and Commandments being “lost” during the reign of the Roman Empire.

Gen 49:10… The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come;

The full authority of Israel’s Torah was diminished during the time of Christ’s earthly ministry. History proves Israel’s authority of the Torah was partially dissolved under Roman dictatorship. Unlike Israel’s past captivities under the Medo-Persian, Grecian, and Babylonian Empires, the Roman Empire stripped Israel from a part of Mosaic authority that stemmed from the Torah. Jewish leaders under Roman dictatorship no longer had the legal right according to the Law of Moses to put a Jewish man to death for a capital offense. During the ministry of Christ Israel was "subject first to Roman law" concerning capital punishment. Only Romans were allowed to execute a Jewish criminal. If Jew’s would have carried out the law of capital punishment according to the Torah they would have been guilty of "insurrection" against the Roman government. Israel had no legal right to usurp the authority of the Imperial power of Rome. That’s one reason why the Jewish Council of Ancients turned Christ over to Pontius Pilate, a Roman governor. Roman authority overpowered Mosaic Law for the first time in the history of the Bible. This very historical truth “fulfilled” Prophecy in Genesis 49:10 because the "scepter departed from Israel when Shiloh came".

That fulfillment of prophecy in Genesis 49:10 is what allowed Brother Lindsey to sway Rabbi Ziegler to Christ. Hubert told that “after” he had challenged Rabbi Ziegler with the truth of that Prophecy he was later preaching a Revival meeting in New York. At that particular meeting Rabbi Zeigler showed up and told Hubert during the previous week he had pondered Genesis 49:10 very closely. Rabbi Zeigler made claim that he realized that the historical truth of Mosaic Law was hindered under Roman dictatorship. Rabbi Zeigler realized that Israel had lost certain Mosaic authority as prophesied and that Christ the Messiah (Shiloh) had come during that period of time. God confirmed it to Rabbi Ziegler's heart but history also proves this same truth! It was confirmed to Rabbi Ziegler’s heart by the Holy Spirit! Rabbi Ziegler told Hubert Lindsey that the Prophecy of Genesis 49:10 was true and he couldn’t deny it. That prompted him to give his heart to Christ and he did! Glory! Hubert proclaimed he won several Rabbi's to Christ throughout his whole course of the ministry.

Hubert Lindsey's main objective in life was to "Win" men and women to Christ! May the words of this Blog with dedication to Brother Lindsey's fervent witness for Christ be of much inspiration to all who read its content.

In the name of Yeshua,
