Humility and Sovereignty: Lessons from Israel's Blindness

I will now provide you with 12 quotes from the transcript, each followed by its starting timestamp:

Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for and the reason for that is that he didn't seek it in the right way that's the whole tragedy of Israel and we saw how that's got a great deal to say to us at the present time this is the terrifying thought which we must always keep in our mind as Christian people. [00:03:01]

There is only one position for the Christian not only at the beginning but even at the end of his life he's nothing but a sinner saved only by the grace of God doesn't matter what he's done doesn't matter how useful he's been in the kingdom when he comes to die and to face God. [00:03:39]

Judicial blindness where is it well it begins there at the end of the seventh verse the rest were blinded Israel has not obtained that which he seeketh for but the election has obtained it now we've dealt with that the election has obtained it and they've obtained it because they are the elect of God. [00:05:02]

The rest and this is the bulk the majority the nation looked at as a whole were blind and then he goes on to elaborate this in the remaining verses of this portion according as it is written God ha given them the Spirit of Slumber eyes that they should not see and ears that they should not hear unto the this day. [00:05:40]

There are those who dislike this Doctrine and who reject it and then there are others who react against them and are almost proud of it but both are equally wrong it's a doctrine that ought to fill us all with a sense of amazement and astonishment any partisan spirit that comes in on any side with regard to a matter like this. [00:07:24]

God did not create sin it is impossible that he should do so God is light and in him is no Darkness at all God didn't create sin God never made any man a sinner God has never made anybody sin that is impossible it is inconceivable as James reminds us God neither tempteth neither can be tempted. [00:29:49]

God has given them a Spirit of Slumber they had been Rec Gant disobedient they had been murdering God's prophets as he sent them to them one after another and even when he sends his son they do the same thing very well God is there as it were showing this terrible thing called unbelief. [00:32:53]

The religious situation in this country is mainly to be explained by affluence the table never heard it so good you see the table is full plenty of money in our pockets plenty of drink M car all let their table be made a snare so off they go in their cars on the Sunday to the Seas side or the Mountaintop. [00:37:19]

Poverty is a terrible thing but you know affluence is a more dangerous thing in a spiritual sense the table has so often been the snare and I believe that we are seeing something of this at this present time that this country and other countries are under this process of judicial blindness. [00:37:49]

There is a point at which it is well for us to stop presenting the truth of the Gospel to certain people if you find that somebody whom you're trying to bring to a knowledge of the truth begins to blaspheme I say stop doing it stop doing it just tell them that you're not going to talk to them about it anymore. [00:38:29]

You can really have a REV Revival almost whenever you like there are certain things which you've got to do if you do those things you will get a Revival so in his lectures he tells ministers what to do you get people to make confession of their sins and this and that you do these things he says and Revival is bound to happen. [00:40:20]

There are some of us who've been praying for Revival for many years and preaching and talking about it and urging people to pray for it why doesn't Revival come say people well you know this may be a part of the answer it may be that we are at the moment passing through a phase of judicial hardening.
