<TITLE>01. Par 1-17</TITLE>64-0322, Possessing The Gate Of The Enemy After Trial, Denham Springs High School, Denham Springs, LA, 69 min
L-1      Wonder that... You know, I have a little idea, like, to see people stand when we read the Word. Don't you like that? We stand to pledge allegiance, we stand for our nation, why not stand for the Word now?

L-2 While we are standing just a minute. I was reading an article, not long ago, and I was thinking last night of those people who stood for Christ. If you haven't done it, won't you do it today?

L-3   There was a great evangelist, about seventy-five years ago, I just can't think of his name. I think it was Arthur McCoy, and he had crossed the land. And one night he had a dream that he had went on to Glory. And said he went up to the Gate, and he said they wouldn't let him in. And said he said, "I'm Arthur McCoy from the United States. I'm an evangelist."

L-4 So the gatekeeper went in, (now this was a dream), and he went in, said, "I can't find your name at all."
He said, "Well, I was an evangelist."
He said, "Sir, I..."

L-5 He said, "Well, is there a chance that... There is something wrong."

L-6 He said, "No, sir. I have the Book here. I can't find your name at all."
And he said, "Well, can I do anything about it?"

L-7 He said, "You might appeal your case to the White Throne Judgment." God, help. I don't want to be there.

L-8 He said, "Well, if that's my only hope, I guess I'll just appeal my case then."

L-9   And said then he thought he went way away, and just... And as he begin, said it was darkness, and got lighter and lighter, and said it seemed like there was no certain place this Light stopped, but he was right in the center of It. And said He said, "Who approaches My Throne of Judgment?"

L-10 He said, "I'm Arthur McCoy. I'm an evangelist, sent many souls to the Kingdom."
He said, "Was your name not found upon the Book?"
"No."
Said, "Then you've appealed to My Court?"
"Yes, sir."

L-11 "You shall receive justice. I judge you by My laws. Arthur McCoy, did you ever tell a lie?"

L-12   He said, "I thought I was a pretty good man till I stood in that Light." He said, "But in the Presence of that Light, I was a sinner." We'll all be that. You might feel secure now, but wait till you come There. How do you think it feels here when He's anointing? How little you can feel! What will it be at that White Throne Judgment?
He said, "Did you ever tell a lie?"

L-13 He said, "I thought I had been truthful, but some little things that I thought was little white lies, they become big and dark There."
He said, "Yes, sir, I've told a lie."
He said, "Did you ever steal?"

L-14 He said, "I thought I had been honest about it, and never stole, but said, in the Presence of that Light, I--I realized there was some deals that I pulled, that wasn't just right."
He said, "Yes, sir, I've stole."
He said, "My judgment..."

L-15 And he just about ready to hear his sentence, "Depart into everlasting fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels," said every bone was coming apart.

L-16 Said, "I heard the sweetest voice I ever heard in my life." He said, "When I turned to look, I saw the sweetest face I ever saw; sweeter than a mother's face, sweeter voice than my mother ever called me." Said, "I looked around. I heard a voice, said, 'Father, that is true, he did tell lies and he wasn't just honest. But, down on earth he stood for Me,' said, 'now I'll stand in his place.'"

L-17 That's what I want to happen There. I want to stand for Him now, that, when that time comes, He stood in my place.
