“Ashamed of Mankind’s One And Only Hope”
In the New Testament book of 1st Corinthians, Chapter
11, Verse 28, God commands Christian believers thus wise, “…let a man examine himself…”. And in 2nd Corinthians 13:5, God commands us, “Examine yourselves…”.
As you now listen to Japan Missionary Richard Yerby’s sermon titled, “Ashamed of Mankind’s One And Only
Hope”, please yield your heart
and soul to God The Holy Spirit, to allow God to reveal to you the exact
degree to which you are ashamed of your Mighty Creator in the presence
of mankind.
“Ashamed to own the blessed Saviour. Ashamed to proclaim His
Love for me? Ashamed, and I know that you’ll be sorry. For one day, He will be
ashamed of thee.”
Listen to your Creator God, The Lord Jesus Christ,
speaking for all eternity, as recorded in the Holy Bible’s New Testament Gospel
of Jesus Christ according to Mark, Chapter 8, Verse 38.
Mark
8:38 Whosoever therefore shall be
ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation;
of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his
Father with the holy angels.
Lord Jesus Christ, my Creator, my Saviour, and my soon-coming
Judge, I praise Thee and heartily thank Thee for fully teaching me that
CHRIST IS ALL, AND IN ALL. Thus, Thou and All that pertaineth
unto Thee, is The One Thing that we human souls should take pride in,
and NEVER. EVER be ashamed of Thee before any and all
living creatures in Thy Vast Universe.
I thank Thee, Lord Jesus, that during my childhood, Thou didst send Thy Holy Spirit powerfully upon me,
strongly convicting me of my sins and working godly sorrow into my heart and
soul to bring about genuine repentance unto God the Father, and true faith to
trust in Thee to save me to the utmost and eternally. During my brief earthly
journey to my Eternal Home in Heaven, please enable me to proudly proclaim my
love for Thee, and allegiance to Thee to all living creatures in Thy Universe.
Please show great mercy unto me to save me from being ashamed of Thee before
any living creature. Amen!
Christian
Believer, please pray the following with me.
Lord Jesus Christ, right now please fully reveal to me
the depth, degree, heaviness, and bitterness of the
regret, remorse, shame, loss, and embarrassment
that will overwhelm me when I stand before Thy Judgment Seat as a
Christian believer who was ashamed of Thee in front of this adulterous
and sinful generation of children of the devil who are daily, constantly around
me. Amen!
Listen to my own missionary story
about continually blessing The Lord Jesus Christ out in public amongst a crowd
of precious lost Japanese Buddhist idol worshippers, and the great good that it
did to a very miserably tormented Japanese lady.
In the early 1990s, as I often stood
singing hymns (about 5 months annually) beside the town of Karuizawa’s Ginza
Street crowded with pedestrians (mostly Japanese tourists), a local Japanese lady customarily walked past me once daily. She appeared to
be 60 or older, thin, bent, weak, unhealthy, attired somewhat like a poor
person, singing aloud the saddest songs. She always
totally ignored the many people around her as she
struggled along.
Usually, a long cloth band (bandage)
was wrapped around one or both arms, another around her neck, and likely other
such bandages were hidden under her clothing. I perceived that demons were
tormenting her, causing her to scratch or cut herself (thus the bandages). Oh,
her songs were so sad. Japanese people on the street around her shunned her,
shying away from her when she came along.
O. how my heart went out to her. I
prayed for her to be delivered from all demons and devils, to be saved, and
thus totally set free in Christ. I wanted to talk
to her, but likely she would resent me asking her to stop, as she walked by. So
I just daily continued singing praise to her Creator God in her
presence (and in the presence of those devils) as
she walked by. My Friend, our Lord God did a most wonderful thing for
her, praise God.
After 2 years or so, suddenly one
day, she greeted me friendly as she walked by. Shock! Till now, she greeted no one, always ignoring everyone. After she daily greeted
me kindly for several days, I stopped to think: “She is no longer
singing.” No more sad songs
were coming forth from her heart. And she was somewhat joyful as she spoke a
greeting to me, smiling faintly, but genuinely.
I believe that demons inside her were
constantly tormenting her terribly, but those devils could not stand to hear my praises to God daily, as she slowly struggled past
me. Therefore, they fled out of her. I also believe that she well perceived that those songs of praise to God was what set her
free from that constant torment.
Fellow Christian, if you will lift up your voice out in public amongst the human race,
preaching God’s Truth, reading The Holy Bible, or singing praise to our
Creator, it will send devils and demons fleeing, and set miserable captives
free. God forbid that we be too ashamed of our Glorious and Mighty Saviour
Jesus Christ to do so (Jesus being fallen
mankind’s One and Only Hope). Please pray…
“Lord Jesus, help me to rejoice evermore, to the extent
of singing praise to Thee aloud whenever it is Thy Will for me to do so.
Please give me courage to do so. Save me from being ashamed of my
Precious Lord Jesus when I am out in public. Convince me that demons and evil
powers flee when we sing praises aloud unto Thee in their presence, thus
setting captive souls free. I also pray these things for all Christian
Believers. Amen!
“I will bless
the Lord at all times: his praise
shall continually be in my
mouth.” (Psalms 34:1)
You
please pray this: Our Heavenly Father, right now please perfectly guide me
into doing Thy Divine Will for me to be like King
David in this matter of continually praising my
Lord God aloud. Doing so, will greatly glorify Thee,
our God of Great Glory, and will spiritually benefit people
around me ever so much. And of a surety, Thou wilt richly bless me for doing so, filling my heart with Thy
Joy. I also pray this for all other souls now on earth. Amen!

My Brothers and Sisters in Christ
Jesus, please join me in interceding in prayer for
multitudes of lost Japanese who are constantly around me in this densely populated nation. Our Lord
has given me a deeply compassionate love for them. I don’t want a one
of them to perish eternally. May God grant each of us unwavering strong faith,
as we intercede for lost, Hell-bound eternal souls.
My Friend without Christ as your
personal Saviour, God’s Holy Bible decrees the entire human race to be
lost and undone sinners, headed for the never ending
flaming torments of Hell, an eternal DEATH, which is
the wages of our sins. The One and Only Hope for you, is for you to seriously and earnestly call upon your
Creator God in the following manner.
Abba Father in Heaven, right now,
please bestow rich mercy upon me, to enable me to seriously repent unto Thee of my sins against Thee and against
mankind. Please grant me pure, unshakable faith to trust
in God’s Saviour, Jesus Christ, to save me to the utmost for all eternity. Thank Thee,
Lord Jesus, for taking my sin punishment by dying on the cross for me. Amen!
Christian
Friend, listen to the glorious testimony the following song is, thinking on how
greatly it would honour your Saviour, if you would sing it out in public
amongst mankind.
The
Light of the world is JESUS! He also said to Christian Believers, “Ye are the
light of the world…Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your
good works.”
Daily,
eternal souls around us are perishing. We dare not hide the One True Light, The
One and Only Hope for mankind, from them.
Fellow
Christian Believer, we are the last church age, but the most
degenerate Church of the 7 churches (the lukewarm Laodicean church)
that Christ takes up alive in His Rapture, before starting His final
destruction of this sin-sick human race. He is now spueing
us out of His Mouth (as He declares in Revelation 3:16) by means of increasing
death and destruction. Let’s earnestly call upon Him to make us into
Overcomers who will stand victorious amidst a perishing human race, to
then be ever so richly rewarded, as Christ promises in Revelation 3:21.
“I Would Love To Tell You What I Think Of Jesus”
1. I would love to tell you what I think of Jesus,
Since I found in Him a Friend so kind and true.
I would tell you how He changed my life completely,
He did something that no other friend can
do.
(Chorus) No one ever cared
for me like Jesus,
There’s no other friend so kind as He,
No one else could take the sin and darkness from me.
O how much He cares for me.
2. All my life was full
of sin when Jesus found me.
All my heart was full of misery and woe.
Jesus placed His Strong and Loving Arm about me,
And He led me in the way I ought to go.
(Chorus) No one ever cared
for me like Jesus,
There’s no other friend so kind as He,
No one else could take the sin and darkness from me.
O how much He cares for me.
3. Every day He comes
to me with sweet assurance,
More and more, I understand His Words of Love,
But I’ll never know just why He came to save me,
Till some day I see His Blessed Face above.
(Chorus) No one ever cared
for me like Jesus,
There’s no other friend so kind as He,
No one else could take the sin and darkness from me.
O how much He cares for me.
