This MP3 audio on "Knowledge" was originally recorded at the Church at Birmingham in 1988 by the late Dr. Hubert Lindsey. Later the content of this service was dubbed to CD format and used by Brother Jim Denton for an AM Radio Broadcast in Fenton, MI in early 2000. Jim recorded a series of these nice Hubert T. Lindsey "Best sermons" and sent them to Rick Roehm for future use and ministry. I used these and also passed them to a fellow Christian from the Upper Room, Brother Jim Allen from New Richmond, Ohio who recently uploaded these recordings to...
Rick Roehm and Hubert Lindsey audios for download or sharing
...for years of use via Internet. These audios were transposed from audio cassettes to CD's to MP3 format for the world to hear via Internet, even after the death of Brother Lindsey in 2003. Got knows what is needed to get a job done. He gets people (members of His body) involved. Well worth reviewing for the cause of Christ! Today in 2012, these Brother Lindsey audios go around the world for Christ. God uses these teachings by Brother Lindsey a blind preacher... also known as "The Walking Bible" because of his vast memorization of the Bible... to reach people for Christ around the globe. Be blessed by this nice 22 minute sermon..for "you" the listener.

They became unaware after paying no attention to Christ
They first started in moderation (when they were young) and then things escalated until they were completely consumed (after getting older). Their vices in life took them over (as they became trapped in the prison-house of self). They were overtaken with interests and plans…outside of God’s plan. They were so wrapped up or consumed they weren’t able to pay attention to the Spirit of Christ. They started a walk toward God and then they quit or turned away. They sinned once in a while but continuously asked God for forgiveness. Then they sinned more frequently which led them to quit asking God to forgive them. Then they began walking in sinful conduct all the time. Called themselves good people in the eyes of man. Left Christ out of the picture. Their hearts, minds, and thinking became callous toward God, as if seared with a hot iron. Awareness to Christ as Savior and Redeemed faded or never existed. They paid no attention to the Spirit of Christ. They were wrapped up in their own interests so much it became a bondage or obsession. Awareness to Christ as a Savior and forgiver? Where did it go or did it exist. Lets examine a few types of people.
The drug addict
The drinker
The business man
The stock-broker
The poverty-stricken
The athlete
The agnostic
The atheist
The church goer without the Spirit
The religious sinner
The part-time believer
The Theologian
The politician
The divorcee
The common man (a good man in the eyes of the world)…without Christ
Don’t allow yourself to be found in a position of unawareness toward Christ and the personal forgiveness He gives the human soul. Don’t let the world you live in get the most of you. Pay attention to Christ. The drinker, the athlete, the business-man, the stock-broker, the divorcee, the Church goer without the Spirit never had a clue that sin would get the best of them…later in life. They done everything in moderation when they were young and then it escalated to something that “controlled them”. They found themselves without hope and unaware of the presence of Christ. They became sad, then happy, and then sad, and then happy, and then sad. Without strength and powerless with an earthly position…or an earthly title in society…or grievence or ill will toward fellow-man. Mad and angry all the time. It all started in moderation. A little sin. A little lie. Something common to fellow-man in society. Something OK that God will blink at.
Who are you kidding? It doesn’t matter who you are, or what position you are in life, or what you have. God looks to the believing heart. Pouring yourself out to God is good today but what about tomorrow? Being constantly aware of Christ and the power of His resurrection has benefits. You can pay attention to Christ and make Him above all things in your heart. You can have steadfast faith and be rooted and grounded in Christ…everyday all day. Glory! I’m getting blessed! It makes me happy to know having Christ and being found in Him daily is fruitful and blessed! You don’t have to step across the line into sin and back out again. Having Christ is more powerful than that! You can have holiness and constant victory! He can give you power to overcome and lay aside weights and sin. He’s the Christ of our Salvation whose exalted at the right hand of God. He loves you and gives you enough to say no to sin and to do right in His eyes.
Give no place to the Devil. You are sealed with the Holy Spirit of Promise. Live up to the standard of God’s way of living. Stay aware of Christ and be wrapped up in Him. He want’s your constant attention and your steady life in the Spirit. Simply put, “It’s being preserved in the power of God’s Grace”. The best life anyone can ever have in this life. A true heart and holy life in Christ! Glory! The better life! Conscious and aware of Him and His Divine presence. Not overtaken by the subtle things in life. Doesn’t Christ deserve “all” of your attention? All the time?
The addict didn’t know. The business-man consumed with his business didn’t know. The divorcee didn’t know…how just little things in the beginning could cause one to be overtaken in the end. Don’t wait. Christ is for today, and tomorrow, and when He comes. Love Christ with everything you’ve got and be blessed like this writer. By doing such you will be ready when He comes or when your life ends. You have no control over these things. So the object is, “Stay ready for Christ or the sting of death, every minute, every hour, every day”.

The faith of Abraham and the Grace of God...before the Law of Moses was given
Abraham believed God and it was counted to him as righteousness. This is "imputed" righteousness granted from God 400 years before the Law and Commandments were given on Mt. Sinai. Abraham was justified by God's Grace and counted as righteousness by the mighty hand of God. Faith in God's promises connected Abraham with God. The Grace of God made Abraham righteous.
Romans 4: 1-5...What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found? For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God. For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
Romans 4:16...Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,
The Grace of God existed before the Law and Commandments came. Here's what God said about Abraham and Noah.
Genesis 18:3...My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:
Genesis 6:8...But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
The word Noah means "preacher of righteosness" in Hebrew. Then you had Abel who was also a righteous man of God. All pointing to the fact that faith, righteousness, and God's Grace existed and operated "before" the Law of Moses was given at Sinai. All pointing to the fact that the blessing of Abraham would come upon the Gentiles.
Galatians 3:14...That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith
Galatians 3:17, 18...And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect. For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.
Rightly dividing God's Word.

The benefit of studying God's Word
Faith is built on the Word of God...primarily what is written in the Bible. For instance, God's promises and prophecies about Christ. Personal knowledge and personal study about Christ increases your faith. If you have a deeper knowledge about Christ you will grow a deeper faith in Christ. Studying God's Word makes people wise unto Salvation.

Note from this Blog to our European Brethren
Stats indicate we are reaching the other side of planet Earth for the cause of Christ. Glory! I thank God for Google and the Internet. As for your participation? We appreciate sharing the Word of God with people around the globe...especially in Russia, Poland, Germany, etc. God's hand is in on this. Christ is the reason that doors are being opened. Our intent here is to magnify the person of Christ and to help others to "rightly divide" the Bible so that a solid foundation can be laid and built upon...until we meet Christ.
May the Lord bless you all for using our library as a learning tool for the furtherance of Christ around the globe. Making disciples is much needed in the world of confusion, traditions of men, false doctrines, and errors being taught from the Holy Scriptures. God knows the needs and He will supply them according to His will for man.
Learn the Word in context and teach others the same. God bless you all.
With love,

The Bible says some men's sins are open. Some men's sins are concealed.
1 Timothy 5:24, 25...Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after. Likewise also the good works of some are manifest beforehand; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid.
The subject of open sin is a subject that is not discussed much nowdays in our modern religious era. The reasons why sin is not addressed in society are many. In the heart and life of a child of God the Bible teaches that sin can be and is removed from the human make-up...by the power of God's Saving Grace. To be rid of sin is to be holy in the eyes of God. When sin is forgiven the unholy heart is made holy by the Grace of God. A new moral character is created in Christ Jesus. A new birth takes place and a new nature is given.
When man is rid of sin the works that he does are "good works" and these good works are pleasing in the eyes of God. Salvation however can not be achieved by an unsaved mans works that this unsaved man feels within are "good works". Salvation of the human soul is worked out only after the believer trusts Christ and has been redeemed and washed in the shed blood Christ at Calvary. Eternal Judgment and Eternal damnation are lifted from those who trust Christ in redemption...but on the other side Eternal Judgment and Eternal damnation "rest" upon the unbelieving soul that is deceived by sin. The good works of a child of God will bring to light the sinful side/or the secret sins of life and reveal, concealed sins.
1 Timothy 5:25...Likewise also the good works of some are manifest beforehand; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid.
Many today profess redemption and Christianity... but live like the Devil. Some profess redemption and keep sin secret (out of guilt and shame). Both or either show a form of godliness but deny the power thereof. Eternal Damnation and Eternal Judgment "rests" upon these un-redeemed souls that profess Salvation with words but their heart is far, far, far from the Christ of our Salvation. All men's sins are open in the eyes of God but not not necessarily before the eyes of man. The works that ripple from sinful conduct follow after as they impact people now, or people later in life, or people in generation after generation to come. The Bible is clear on such doctrine about sin and its ripple effect.
1 Timothy 5:24, 25...Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after. Likewise also the good works of some are manifest beforehand; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid.
The works of a saint or the works of a sinner are determined by God Almighty only. Not by man. Good works and bad works take place in this life and will ripple in generations to come. I like what the Bible says about the works of the saints of God that have went on to Heaven. The works of a saint "follow" on into next generations. Glory!
Rev. 14:13...Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.
As for sinful men and their outward works and/or secret sins...the Judgment of God and Eternal Damnation rests upon these unbelieving and deceived souls. This determination is made by the person of Jesus Christ, the Judge of all humanity...who shall Judge sinful men and all those who obey not the Gospel which pertains to His, death, burial, and resurrection according to the Scriptures.
Rom. 2:16...In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.

How do I get righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost?
Righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost are spiritual blessings that come from the King Christ who is now exalted in Heaven and resides presently in the Throne-room.
Romans 14:17…For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
The Kingdom of God flows in the Spirit from Heaven upon the whole body of Christ, the Church…of which we believers are members. The Kingdom of God stems from Christ the head of the Church who is seated at the right hand of the Father, now in the present tense. Here’s how you personally receive righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
Make sure every sin is forgiven through your personal trust in the death of a Savior on the cross. Your personal trust in Christ brings God’s pardon into the human soul. By doing such the heart is cleansed from sin and the conscience is freed of any guilt caused from all past sins. This is a miracle blessing from Christ that is granted to any believer in Christ through personal trust. It’s called Salvation of the human soul.
After forgiveness is found the believer in Christ will mind (obey) the Holy Spirit’s presence and directive in life, as a child of God should. No striving. No human activity. Peace, joy, and righteousness in the Holy Ghost comes spiritually from an exalted Christ in the Throne-room. Righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost does not involve human effort or human activity. Righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost are miracle blessings from the Spirit of God. Righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost are a gifts produced in the human soul by the power of God’s Grace.
Romans 14:18… For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God
For we are saved by the power of God’s Grace through our personal faith in a Savior that bled and died on the cruel cross at Calvary. The blessing of Salvation that comes from Christ is your righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
God Bless you all! With love,
