How Saints May Help the Devil (Ezekiel 16:54) - C.H. Spurgeon Sermon

A sermon delivered by C.H. Spurgeon, Lord's day morning July 24th 1859.
It is scary to think that the hypocrisy of a believer might harden an unbeliever in sin, and confirm them in their course towards hell. Spurgeon seeks to warn those who love the Lord to walk carefully in His steps. We need to travel consistently toward the glory, and purity, of heaven.

Very convicting, Lord, forgive me of my guilt dragging others down to hell and for being inconsistent and lukewarm, may you change my heart and give me the grace and ability through the Spirit to change. In Christ's name amen.

[adebayofayoyin]

Preached in 1859, super relevant in 2024 and beyond. I am ashamed! God help us.

[WiltonStewart]

The pain we pay for Christ is small in comparison to His suffering on the cross for us. God cements this truth in my heart so I may be preserved from self-pity.

Saw the title coupled with the name C H Spurgeon and had to click on this video: Listened to the sermon, ended up on my knees in Godly sorrow asking my LORD to forgive me for anything I've done within the past 56 years of my life that hardened hearts to Him and softened minds to remain in sin; I rose up off my knees in thanksgiving, a repentant heart and joy and faith that I will live out the rest of my life bringing glory to my Heavenly Father and Honor to my LORD, Savior, Best Friend and Brother Jesus Christ!
HALLELUJAH!

[debbiedean]

Dear Father, dear Jesus, Holy Spirit, I am guilty of inconsistency in small and great sins, of being a bad witness, and living a sinful, or lukewarm life and grieving You, and being a stumbling block that was not the light, or living Your truth, and I fear being a reason someone didn't come to salvation and be born again.
Please forgive me, please let my life be forever changed, living in holiness separate from the world, a lamppost people can see, help my heart be Your tender heart always sensitive to the Holy Spirit calling my attention to those You put in my path.
Oh Holy and merciful God please forgive me and please send people all over the world to bring the gospel and salvation to those I stumbled.
😭🙏❤️✝️

[williamflournoy]

This message is as relevant now as then 😮😢

[dukediesel]

Forgive us Lord for making excuses for our iniquity. Thank you Lord for your continued conviction that allows us to come to you for forgiveness of our sins and brings us closer to you everyday. Praise be to the Lord Jesus Christ forever and ever, Amen

[KimberlyLBrown]

a perfect example in believing - The Lord is the same yesterday, today, and forever. the true message of God will have the same effect on the Saint whether it was given 2, 000 years ago, 150 years ago, or one day ago. Glory to LORD of Hosts! Hallelujah!

[Mattebby]

Matthew 6:16 And when you fast, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces that their fasting may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.

[ByDesign]

Hearing this again days later, it has convicted me much more; as if it hardly had much affect first time through it. Oh may God grant us some depth in these evil times! Our Father!!! It seems when wisdom hits me deeply, on comes the devil with increased fury! God help us to resist him in Jesus' name!

[captainmartin]

I heard about this guy, but rarely listened to any thing he preached. This dude is deep.

[jesusownsmebryangilbow]

So eye opening indeed. As a born again saint we must be ready for the time is coming when our neck will be severed from a guilitine from the near future of tribulation. You and I must cowboy up in the Holy Spirit brothers and sisters. Pray for strength!!!

[kristinuhrig]

[dominicvincent]

[kephapaul]

Matthew 23:15, Woe to you, scribes and pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel land and sea to win one proselyte, and when he is won, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves.
Lord save us from our inconsistent ways ..create in us humility and willingness to give ourselves to thee and allow thy son to live in us through the Holy Spirit

[MarkClark-tije]

Amen amen. I've been exposed to more cynicism, dusfunctionality, religion, and toxicity toward self within. .yep. I'm better off spending time with him alone ..good message

[angiewiz]

Very profound and convicting!!!

Thank you Br. Spurgeon. The Holy Spirit used you to convict my soul to set my house in order.

Lord Jehovah in Jesus' name, please have mercy on me, my family and my Christian Brethren across the World. In and through Christ help us to walk holy lives as per Jesus' and His Disciples examples and not as the Pharisees or those of Satan's camp.

Thank you Lord for restoring my candlestick. Amen.

[bleustarz]
