Rebellion is the wind in which all sin committed.

Rebellion, in any form or measure, towards God, His Word, conscience, or the still small voice is a fallen, suboptimal, and unacceptable spiritual state.

May we all with mindful introspection do as our brother, Apostle Paul advocates “… let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.”

This is a fact: your focus determines your destination. The only way to succeed spiritually is to keep our eyes focused on Jesus until the goal is obtained. It is the devil's objective to get your focus away from God and onto your circumstance because he knows that if you keep your focus right, your situation will eventually break and you will receive the prize! Seeing how vital your focus is, honestly ponder the question, where are your eyes?

"The loss of wealth is much, the loss of health is more, but the loss of soul is such, that no man can restore." (Robert H. Smith)

A man's soul is his most prized, precious, and premium possession; infinite in both value and longevity.

May God grants us personal revelation of this eternal insight and our attitude, mindset, and conduct of our lives reflect that understanding.

The true people of God will settle with nothing less than the presence of God; with what works. It is not hard to discern where and through whom God is working, and even those who may outwardly criticize God's people know deep within that what they are doing is what produces results. Do not content yourself with anything less than the presence of God being definitely with you; the fulness of God! A time is coming when it is the only thing that will carry you through.

Date Preached: 9/6/1987 (Jackson, MI Fellowship Meeting)

The tone, heart, and burden of this message echo that of the Apostle Paul in his farewell address to the Ephesian elders in Acts 20.

Bro. Hampton with his “66 years” of insight, wisdom, and experience urge the saints to not go down with the ship or fall victim to the general conditions of our day.

Alternatively, he encourages the saints to strive to be apart of the remnant of her seed, build themselves up in their most holy faith, and rise above this apathetic, impotent, logically inconsistent 8th beast spiritual atmosphere.

Preached in: Columbus, Georgia (Tent Meeting)

War for the saints is inevitable; there is no way to go around it and stay saved. Therefore we must fashion our minds for the spiritual warfare! Our lifestyles ought to be so that we could engage a major crisis at any time. If you are in a war, fight it out until the end; if you are not, give yourself in preparation for it!

Date of Message: ?/?/1990

God has directed His promises to those whose heart is perfect toward Him; it is these who can expect and hold God to His promises. A perfect heart is characterized by perfect trust. God has not promised to come through because we are suffering or in distress, but because we trust Him and are empty of all doubt. Soul-searching is in order after listening to this Word from God! Is your heart perfect toward God?

It's one thing to not accept or delay acceptance of the truth. It's another thing to oppose it blatantly.

When an individual exchanges the tender working of the Holy Ghost for hardness, hatred, and hostility towards that working they adjudicate themselves as children of Satan, appropriately deserving hell.

May Almighty God enable us to prove ourselves worthy of everlasting life.
