Praying for the Power ― A Sermon on Isaiah 62:6-7 (Remastered)

I should like to call your attention this morning to the message that is to be found in that 62nd chapter of the book of the prophet Isaiah which we read together at the beginning with special emphasis perhaps upon verses 6 and 7 I have set Watchmen upon thy walls o Jerusalem which shall never hold their peace day nor night ye that make mention of the Lord keep not silence and give him no rest till he establish until he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth if IID had any doubts before as to whether this particular

message was really needed they would certainly all have gone after listening to the way in which you've just been singing that hymn 505 Christian seek not Yet reposed cast thy dreams of ease away did you notice how we sang it we dragged it mournfully cast thy dreams of ease away Thou Art in the midst of Furs Watch and Pray exactly and that is why the church is as she that was a called to Arms to watchfulness to vigilance to guard ourselves with armor it wasn't a lament but thus I say the church seems to have

been overcome by such a spirit of lethargy and of defeatism and thereby she gives the impression to those who are outside that she is filled with a sense of despair we even drag a call to arms and are mournful as we remind ourselves of the armor in which we can place a final confidence and Trust well now then we need very Bly what Isaiah has to tell us in the 62nd chapter of his great prophecy here you see as a man again facing the condition of the church he was writing he was given a for

viiew he therefore prophesies the coming of the caldian army and enemy against Jerusalem and he can see that they're going to conquer the Israelite Army that they're going to capture the city destroy it raise its great buildings to the ground and carry the people away captive into Babylon but he was not only given to see that he was given to see the rest restoration coming and thus his prophecy is divided largely between these two things and here we find him looking at the situation when it was at its worst and in the light of the

gracious Promises of God showing how he reacted to such a situation and what he called upon the people to do now there can be no doubt at all as has been the traditional interpretation in the church throughout the centuries the primary reference of this chapter is to that the Captivity in Babylon and the return of the remnant to Jerusalem but it doesn't stop at that here undoubtedly also is a foreview of a great in gathering which is going to take place amongst the Jews there is no question but that that is here also and still

there is something else here and that is a picture of the Christian Church you will know that our Lord himself quoted several times from this particular section of Isaiah's prophecy showing quite clearly therefore that it does refer to the church and to gospel times you remember how in that first address of his in the synagogue at Nazareth he quoted from the 61st chapter all this is a part of the same picture and so it has been customary in the church throughout the running C centuries for God's people to see in such a statement as this

a call to the church in a time of declension in a time when she is beset round and about by enemies and problems and when in a large measure she has suffered defeat at the hands of her foes so that we can take this picture this morning and therefore apply it to ourselves and see how we should react to our present position now I'm calling attention to this in a particular manner because it's a very practical chapter and it reminds us therefore that in our consideration of the need of Revival we are not to be

content with a mere theoretical examination of the position indeed that can be quite fatal the whole object of the theoretical consideration is to lead to action is to lead to something in practice the prophets as they delineate the condition of Israel never merely stop at that they do that in order to Rouse the people to bestow themselves and to do something to meet this tragic situation in which they found themselves and here as we shall see the whole emphasis is upon the response the action the determination to do something something and as I'm saying there

is rarely no purpose in looking at the present situation in considering the great movements of the spirit in the past unless it leads to a determination on our part to act and to do something in the light of the position in which we find ourselves well very well all I have to do this morning is just to pick out for you the things which are stated here so clearly indeed there is no difficulty about this I I simply have to take the statements of Isaiah as he made them and to hold them before you as

simply as I can what do we find here well here's the first thing the prophet's concern the prophet is deeply moved listen to him he starts off for Zion's sake I will not hold my peace and for Jerusalem's sake I I will not rest Zion Jerusalem these were not mere names you see to the prophet they were names which meant so much to him which conveyed so much to him and which of which he was so proud what is Zion well Zion he knows is the city of God not merely the city of David but

the city of God God Jerusalem what is Jerusalem well she is the city of the great king now the prophet is concerned because he knows the real meaning of Zion and of Jerusalem there was not just an ordinary City to him just a city among cities no no the city of God God that made this place and established it for himself and had given this people his own people this great privilege of living in such a City Jerusalem and Zion and therefore realizing as he did the greatness and the glory of this city of God

the prophet is grieved deeply concerned and moved as he sees her present condition now there is the starting point for Zion's sake for Jerusalem's sake he starts with it and we must start with it because the first thing that is necessary for us is a concern about the state of the church you read these prophets and you'll find they don't spend their time in being concerned about the state of the other nations and those who are outside no no what what the burden of these men is the state and the condition of the church that's

the thing they keep on writing about that the Church of the Living God that Zion should be reduced to this they think of her former glory they think of all her associations and now they see are in this condition and that is the thing I say that moves them and grips them and is their chiefest concern and therefore the question that comes to us is whether we can say that we know something about the the same concern what is the thing that is our burden to what extent can we say that the condition of the

church is on our hearts and Minds is deeply concerning us do we realize what the church is do we remember that she is the city of God do we remember that she is his new creation by water and the word city of God that's what the church is this is Zion this is God's Dwelling Place God has made her for himself he's brought her into being even at the cost of the blood and the death of his own son and the question is are we concerned about the state of the church now surely we must

needs admit many of us that we are so preoccupied with ourselves and our own personal problems and difficulties and all that we talk so much about that we never stop for a moment to look at the church objectively and see her and begin to mourn because of her condition now as you read these prophets and as you read the Psalms you will find that that is the thing that is always uppermost in the minds of these men these men had such a conception of the nation to which they belonged as the people of God and

all God's purposes that were in her and involved in her well-being that seeing her as she was they couldn't think of anything else in a sense and uh it is I say the thing that is grieving at the present time that this aspect of the matter seems to be almost entirely absent and men and women can't see any need to be concerned well if you're not concerned my friend there's only one explanation it is because you haven't the right conception of the Church of God it is because we don't see her as the prophet saw

the nation and Zion and Jerusalem if only I say we had a true conception of the Christian church if we only really saw her as she is in the New Testament if we had but some dim and vague notion of what she was in the early years and indeed in the early centuries if we but really understood what she is like in every period of Revival and of Reawakening I say we would be heartbroken at the present condition we would be grieved and filled with a sense of Sorrow we are always troubled when we see

something which once was great and famous going down or ceasing to be the decline and fall of an Empire is a sad spectacle it's a sad thing to see a great business going down it's sad to see a great man a great professional man losing his grip it's sad to see a man who's great at spot suddenly because of age beginning to fail something that always fills us with a sense of sorrow and of sadness well multiply all that by infinity and then try to conceive of the Church of God As she is in the

mind of God and as she was formed and founded and contrast that with what she is today oh says this man for Zion's sake for Jerusalem's sake I will not hold my peace I will take no rest this is to him tragic well very well there's his starting point and I say that this is so because he sees her as she was at that present time these are his terms she is forsaken she is desolate he says that in verse four when the Reformation comes he says Thou shalt be no more termed forsaken but now

she is forsaken neither shall thy land anymore be termed desolate but it is now desolate God seemed to have left her the people had been carried away and the sight presented by Zion and by Jerusalem was that of desolation not only that in verse 8 he gives us another picture surely I will no more give thy corn to be meat for thine enemies but at the moment that is what was happening their corn was being given as meat for the enemies and the sons of the stranger shall not drink thy wine for the which thou

H has labored there she was forsaken desolate their people working but yes their the results of their work was taken the corn was taken the wine was taken the enemy that their conquerors were eating the corn and they were drinking their wine and all their activity and effort and labor finally as it were came to nothing that was his picture of the church in his own day and generation and as he looks at it and as he contrasts it with what she was and was meant to be I say he's burdened he's concerned his heart

is almost broken Christian people are you rarely satisfied with the state of the Christian church today do we ever stop to think about it it's my lot to travel a little around this country and what even I see is bad but I'm always told that if I could enter some of these places of worship on an ordinary Sunday I would scarcely believe what I could see I could name your towns and villages in this land which were once filled with a praying and praising and glorying people names which stand out in the annals of Christianity

in this country filled with a sense of the glory of God but today they're desolate they're deserted they for Satan now the whole call of the Prophet is that we must face these things and we must begin to realize them we mustn't be misled by the reports which we read in the religious press which would give the impression that everything's going remarkably well and that there's no need to trouble we've got to think of the Christian Church as she is to be found in the towns and Villages and hamlets and Country districts of this land

and the vast majority of people outside the church only 10% claiming any Allegiance at all and only half those visiting a place of worship with any regularity that is the position the church has become a Remnant weak and small and those who are still faithful for various reasons are discouraged it they spirited and the others look upon them almost with pity because they're still holding on to something that is so obviously outmoded and exploded now there my friends is the thing is the position that confronts us and the question I'm asking is to what extent

are we conscious of the feelings that animated the prophet it is our business as members of the Christian church every one of us to be concerned about these things we must not be concerned only about our personal problems we've got them I know but we must deal with them and go beyond we must become intercessors as the prophet was calling upon his fellow countrymen to become intercessors now then there it is he's got this concern because he sees Z as she is and then because of what he desires her to be and this is how

he puts it he says he's not going to keep silent nor give himself any rest until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness and the Salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth that's his vision for Jerusalem here she is down and out as it were but now he says I'm not taking this I'm not going to hold my peace I will take no rest until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness and the Salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth that's his vision for the church that is what he wants her to be like that's

he can see her in faith with his prophetic Vision he can see her becoming that again now this is a tremendous statement you know this is the thing that has happened to every man whom God has ever used to stir the church and to lead in the matter of Revival it was a thing like this in the heart of Martin Luther that suddenly set him a flame he saw the church in which he'd been brought up and to which he belonged he saw what a travesty she'd become he says this is Desolation this is tragedy

then he saw in the New Testament the Church of God As she is meant to be a lamp of burnish gold holding the light before the Nations and he began to to stir and to be moved that's how it happen and you and I must catch this vision of what the church can be well there's no excuse for us my dear friends you see it in the in the Bible itself you see that handful of people in the book of The Acts of the Apostles burning with power like a lamp that burneth the righteousness thereof

going forth has brightness can't you see the flame and the power read the accounts I say again of all the great revivals in the history of the church go back to the Glorious period of the Reformation go back to 200 years ago acquaint yourselves with the days when Whitfield and the westlies and others were preaching here in London with the unction of the Holy Ghost upon them and mighty things happening under his all powerful influence you know the trouble is we have no conception of the church we've never seen her like that have we no

no we've seen a kind of outward Prosperity but that isn't the prosperity of the church we haven't seen we know nothing about the church going forth with brightness and as a lamp that is burning but she's meant to be like that she can be like that very well we must realize that that's the way in which the prophet speaks concerning himself and then he gets another description he says Thou shalt also be a Crown of Glory in the hand of the Lord and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God what tremendous Faith this

is he was looking at a church desolate and forsaken it's all right he says I can see you as you're going to be as you're meant to be as a Crown of Glory in the hand of the Lord and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God and then you remember these other terms which he uses you are no longer going to be forsaken he says I can see a day coming says the prophet when the church shall no more be desolate Thou shalt be called hepsiba which means his Delight is in her neither

shall thy land anymore be termed desolate but thy land Shall be Called bua which means married now we must be clear about these terms what the prophet you see is saying is this God's Delight does not seem to be in his people God is like a husband who's gone away from home and who seems to have forgotten his wife that's what he's saying and that was certainly true of the condition of Israel at that time there she was at the mercy of her enemies she who' conquered everybody she who had been so great into King

David and under King Solomon after him here she is a Remnant weak and small the majority carried away to Babylon working as slaves under the hand of that cruel calan power and he looks at all this and he says what is it well God is forsaken us God has turned away from us but he's not going to give himself rest nor peace until God looks back and comes back and says my delight is in thee I am thy husband I'm coming back Thou shalt be called hepsiba my delight is in thee and thy land buer

married for the Lord delighteth in thee and thy land shall be married and then in addition to that you see he makes this statement give him no rest till he establish till he make Jerusalem a praise in the Earth but every body looks on and Praises her and indeed he adds in those verses 8 and N that she's going to be prosperous again they that have gathered the corn shall eat it and praise the Lord and they that have brought it together shall drink it in the courts of my Holiness now this you see is

the thinking that leads to what follows he sees the churches she is he says God seems to have left us God has forsaken us is that true of us today well I don't hesitate to say that it is my friend these terms of course are relative we mustn't despise the day of small things but believe me we are living in the day of very very small things when you contrast the condition of the church today with what she has been you cannot but come to the conclusion that for various reasons God is not looking upon

us and smiling upon us there is a sense in which we are forsaken there is a sense in which we are desolate the church today speaking generally throughout the whole world is an abandoned church he's in a desolate condition now then I say that is the thing that we've got to realize and then we must see the possibility he was not meant for this she was meant for that and then he's got one other thing which animates him and which moves him you notice he is anxious that the Gentiles shall rarely see Aras that's the

second verse let me read the first two verses again for Zion's sake will I not hold my peace and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness and the Salvation thereof is a lamp that burneth and the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness and all all Kings thy glory and thou shalt be called by a new name which the mouth of the which the mouth of the Lord shall name this was a constant motive nothing worried these men of God more than that the Heathen the Gentiles should be scoffing

they knew that they were scoffing Israel had made a great claim for herself she had said we are the people of God Zion is the city of the Living God look at the temple they said God dwells in that Temple they say you Gentiles you're in the outer Court you've never been into the holiest place of all you've never seen the Shina Glory but God is there between the Kims that's what they had claimed God's Own people and here they are defeated and desolate and they knew the enemy was laughing and scoffing and full of

derision and of sarcasm and the Kings the Great it who defied God and His armies and his people oh said this man I'm not going to be quiet until the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness and all Kings thy Glory are you moved by such thoughts my friend does it grieve you and trouble you as you hear the jokes and the laughter about the Christian church are you not moved as you hear these modern Kings I mean now people like philosophers and scientists and others dismissing and deriding not us but God and the City of God

the Christian church the church which Christ purchased with his blood They're laughing at her they're spitting upon her and are you and I un mooved isn't there a deep and a burning desire within us that these Gentiles these Kings shall see the church in her glory in her brightness with the light of Heaven upon her face and the power and the flame of the Holy Spirit within her that's the thing that was animating the mind and the heart and the spirit of this prophet Isaiah he looks forward to a day when these Gentiles and Kings

shall call them God's people thy holy people the redeemed of the Lord sought out a city not forsaken he says I'm not going to keep quiet until Zion shall be again a city which men shall seek they'll come from the ends of the Earth to seek Zion the city of God exalted above all the nations and all the cities of the world sought out a city not forsaken well now then there is the thought you see that provides the background to what the prophet proceeds to exalt which brings me to my second matter what was

it the prophet decided to do in the light of all this and what did he exhort all others to do well here it is in verses 6 and 7 indeed he starts off even at the very beginning by saying I will not hold my peace I will not rest there it is he says I'm going to speak I'm going to talk about this I'm going to preach to people I'm going to be talking about this always nonstop I will not hold my peace I will not rest while things are as they are and until they

become what I see they can be and are going to be in other words he is a man who is consumed by this one idea this thing has gripped him it's moved him he's wholehearted his whole being is involved it isn't merely parts of him it's the whole of him he doesn't merely do it now and again sometimes when he sees something particularly bad he begins to think and then forgets all about it goes back to the dull routine prays for for a while then forgets and goes back and then comes back there's nothing to

be there's nothing spasmodic about this there's nothing fitful fitful about it it has become his one concern The Passion of his life the one thing about which he always speak it's become a burden upon his Spirit now the point I'm trying to establish is this if you again go back and read as I exalt you and beseech you to do the history of any Revival that you can find an account of anywhere you will find that that is how revivals have always begun God has thus put this burden upon one man a number of men

it doesn't matter what the number is that's how it always begins if you like a man becomes a sort of monomaniac about this always talking about it I will take no rest I will not hold my peace speaking about it telling people about it exhorting people to consider it thus I say God begins to move that was the truth about the prophet Isaiah of course there were many people who thought he'd gone mad they thought the same about Jeremiah they said what is the matter with these men who seem to be hoping on the same

point always why can't they go back and let's go on with a happy routine of Church Life why always this one thing isn't this beating a dead horse that's how they speak you know there has never been a man yet who has had a true vision of what the Church of God should be and can be and who contrasted that with her present position but that he has begun to speak about it and has become obsessed by it and people have thought he's mad and they've criticized him why all this bother they said AR isn't

everything all right that's what the false prophets were saying in Israel and they are saying it today there are people who are actually opposed to the whole notion of Revival you can read their books in the Holy Spirit you can read their articles in the periodicals in the Holy Spirit and you'll find they don't mention Revival at all they don't believe in an outpouring of the spirit of God in spite of the history of the church they don't seem to want it God have mercy upon them at ease in Zion with Zion as she is

and the world as it is very well then that's the first thing he tells us but then he goes on to a practical measure I have set Watchmen he says upon thy walls here is a practical step which shall never hold their peace day nor night what is the purpose of these Watchmen well they are to guard of course that was the custom with an ancient city there was a city wall and they set Watchmen to keep a look out day and night always watching what for well they were guarding the city they were keeping

their eye on the coming of a possible enemy if they saw a sudden movement suddenly in the trees or in some distant field they saw they reported The Watchmen these were the men who were guarding the life and the safety of the city I don't stay to elaborate these points this morning but the Watchmen are as necessary as they've ever been there are certain enemies always waiting to attack always mastering their forces Gathering them and seen as are him put it what are they well the enemies that would attack the truth the doctrine and not

only the doctrine but the life of the church her Holiness her Department her behavior I have set Watchmen says the prophet these men must keep their eyes open and they're going to day and night they'll never hold their peace they'll always be on the lookout and if ever this were necessary it is today there are ideas coming in increasingly even into Evangelical circles that what you believe finally doesn't matter very much that if a man's a good man if he calls himself a Christian you can cooperate with him you get men coming together and speaking

in the same meeting who diametrically are oppers to one another in their ultimate doctr but they say it doesn't matter there is terrible confusion there is a slip spping and are sliding in terms of expediency and unity and things like that but it's no good my dear friends Zion is the city of God she's a holy people she's a holy place it is where God dwells and you cannot afford to play fast and loose with Doctrine and likewise I say with the life but the business of the Watchmen is not merely to look for enemies

they had another function when a city was hard pressed and besieged the Watchmen at a further function it was this to keep their eyes upon the Horizon to see if P some relieving Force were on the way to see if some friend were gathering his forces and coming to attack the enemy in their rear keeping a look out is there a hope of Deliverance is there someone coming with relief Watchmen upon the walls waiting for the good news waiting to see The Messengers of Peace as Isaiah has already put it in chapter 40 coming across

the tops of the mountains proclaiming the day of salvation The Watchmen like habac having prayed going into his watch to waiting for God's answer this is a very essential part of this procedure you and I should be waiting and looking and watching and if we hear of any stirring of the spirit of God we should with eagerness pray that it may continue that it may increase that it may go on if you hear of just some smoldering Flex pray that it may burst forth into a flame well there he is he set his Watchmen upon

the walls but then the last thing I must just mention is this ye that make mention of the Lord keep not silence and give him no rest till he establish till he make Jerusalem a praise in the Earth this is a wonderful statement this ye that make mention of the Lord yes but in the margin you will find an alternative translation which is undoubtedly the right one ye that are the Lord's remembrances that's how the revised version which you have in the pews puts it you that are the Lords remember remembrances or the revised standard

puts it you who put the Lord in remembrance you who are the Lord's remembrances keep not silence and give him no rest until he's done this now then here is the call to prayer the call to intercession and what does it mean well I think we can interpret it like this according to the translations he is address adding people who still remember the Lord he is addressing people who don't look to men so much as to God you who remember the Lord he says I'm addressing you and I'm telling you keep no peace keep on

don't keep silent take no rest but it has another meaning also these are not only people who remember the Lord themselves they remind others of the Lord and they exalt others also to pray to him and this is where I would appeal to every one of you if you my friend have begun to see something of the burden of the age in which we live and you are yourself praying to God to visit us and to revive his work stir up others also remind them also say to them look here God is still there why

don't you pray to him why don't you turn to him stir them up you remembrances of the Lord you who remember him remind others of him but it has a still higher and more wonderful and indeed a very daring meaning which is this you that are the Lord's remembrances in other words you who are to remind God himself of his own promises it has that meaning in it it's a daring meaning but it's here and everybody's agreed about this we are to remind God of his own promises when we pray we are to go to

God with words and we are to remind him of what he said about Zion about Jerusalem what he has said about the church and we are to remind him that he never changes his word he never breaks promise that he can't change himself we are to go with him we are to go to him with the promises his own promises and say Lord this is what thou Hast said look upon us ye who are the Lord's remembrances keep not silence remind him speak to him tell him about these things now you'll find the psalmist were

always doing that that's what their prayers are read them you'll find the New Testament men did exactly the same thing they quote the Psalms they remind God and then they bring their petitions you and I are to become the Lord's remembrances and lastly we are to go on doing this did you notice this element of importunity for Zion's sake says this men I will not hold my peace and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest until he's going on with it and until he says about these Watchmen that he has set them upon the wall

and that they shall never hold their peace day nor night he's got to go on doing it and there to go on doing it now notice this other wonderful phrase here ye that are the Lord's remembrances keep not silence says this authorized version but the revised version and others are better here they translate it take no rest it comes to the same thing if you're not keeping silence you can't be taking rest if you're taking rest you are silent they mean the same thing ultimately but notice this you that are the Lord's remembrances Take No

Rest the times are desperate they're urgent when we are in the midst of a Great War Trade union rules and regulations are relaxed every kind of Regulation is relaxed people say we can't afford to live leisurely as if we were in a state of Peace we're fighting for our lives went we told that a few years ago in the second world war they said look here give in give up everything what's the point of having all these things if you lose your life if you lose your country relax your rules Take No Rest let us

be all out the whole time that was the appeal here's the same appeal in Isaiah Take No Rest be not silent and then this de daring statement and give him no rest give God no rest till he establish until he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth what a bold statement and yet of course Isaiah was perfectly right we are to take no rest ourselves we are to give God no rest until he's heard us until he's answered us until Jerusalem is clothed in her beautiful robes again and is like a burning Shining Light give

him no rest give yourself no rest keep on bombard God bombard him until the answers come well you see we have the authority of Our Lord for this haven't we Jacob did something like that didn't he in the Old Testament I will not let thee go he said the man wrestled with him and he said it's the dawn it's the break of day let me go I will not let thee go said Jacob I'm not letting go until you've given me my request I will not let thee go wrestling Jacob that's it I reminded you

how Moses did exactly the same thing we've been considering it in Exodus 33 Moses made a request God said yes more said Moses right said God more said Moses up and up he goes here is Isaiah doing the same thing and our Lord has taught us to pray like this it's one of the most glorious and wonderful statements even he ever made about God and God's relationship to us he said you know you mustn't just pray fitfully you must become arttate you must be like that man who suddenly is visited by a friend at night

and he's got no food to give him so he says Ah my friend up the street he's got some loves and he goes and hammers at the door but the friend shouts and says I can't come down I'm in bed and my children are with me no no says the man you must give me something I know you've got bread and I've got a stranger here I can't let him go without a meal he goes on Hammer I can't says the man I'm in bed but he goes on and on and at last the man

gets up and gives him the bread the man in the bed in our Lord's illustration is none other than God himself because of his import he arose and gave him the bread and if we are Earthly sinful evil fathers know how to give good gifts unto our children how much more shall Our Father which is in heaven give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him he won't mock us but you see like a father he seems to keep us waiting he seems to say no at first that we may go on asking and we

must become importunate and again in Luke 18 you've got the same thing our Lord there teaches about the unjust judge it's called the parable of the unjust judge I think it should be called the parable of the importunate widow she went before the judge and he seemed to be dismissing the case back she came and he dismissed it again back she came again and at last the judge said this woman she's worrying us she's hitting us black and blue as it were she's going on she's importunate and at last he said very well then let's

consider her case and granted her request our Lord spoke that Parable under this heading that men should always pray and not faint Take No Rest says Isaiah give him no rest my dear friends have we got a vision of what the church is meant to be do we see the contrast between our presence State and what he can be and will be well if we have I say let us set Watchmen on the wall let us become the Lord's remembrances in every sense of the term and let us take no rest and let us give

him no rest till Jerusalem shall again have become a praise and a glory and her brightness and her righteousness shall shine and the Gentiles and the Kings shall all see her and shall come seeking her that they through her May seek her Lord and the Salvation which he alone can give may God open our eyes to the urgency of the times and to God's own way of dealing with it amen we do hope that you've been helped by the preaching of Dr Martin Lloyd Jones all of the sermons contained within the mlj trust audio library
