You can’t have a kingdom without a king. When they rejected the King, there’s no kingdom, and then He could say privately, personally, now: “Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden; I will rest you.” That’s still His invitation today. It is a message to be sent out to individuals to exercise their free will. And my friend, you’re making a decision, whether you know it or not, whether you believe it or not. You either make a decision for Him or reject Him. And somebody says, “You don’t get me on that. I will not make a decision. I will not accept Him, and I don’t reject Him.” You don’t? Listen to Him: “He that is not for Me, is against Me ….” There’s no such thing as neutral ground.

The devil is the deceiver. And how many people today are deceived? They’re deceived about life. How many people today are even thinking of eternity? Just things of the here and now. And today we find even science, the great organization, now rejecting for the first time the creation account. They don’t want it. It’s a great day of deception. You can be deceived today by science. You can be deceived today by politicians. You can be deceived today by educators. You can be deceived today by the military, and you can be deceived today by all these protests. And the only help today is to turn to Jesus Christ. He’s been “made unto us wisdom” and the only hope.

Now Babylon, with its glitter and glamour, and as the fountainhead of idolatry and false religion, was a mirage upon the desert. You thought you were seeing a spring and an oasis, but it wasn’t. You could go to Babylon, filled with idols and religion, but there was no life-giving water for the souls of men. And this is something that every pastor, every radio preacher, every church, and every church member ought to turn over in his mind. Is my church or am I today a fountain of water or am I just a mirage on the desert of life? Am I a life-giving fountain?

Any man that puts his will above the will of God, that man is making himself God. And that’s what sin is today in the human family. “All we like sheep have gone astray ….” How? Well, from the will of God. “We have turned everyone to his own way”—man’s way. And there are two ways: God’s way and man’s way. That’s what the Lord Jesus meant when He said, “I am the way … no man comes to the Father but by Me.” Now, friend, you are in God’s universe today. You’re breathing His air, using His sunshine. And you’re His creature. And you owe Him a great deal. And you are to obey Him.

Anything that is contrary to the will and character of God is sin. And I don’t care what it is. It could be even going to church. I think some people, just to please God, go into church. And imagine a little man down here says to God, “I won’t do it. I’m going to do it my way.” And that’s what little man is saying today. “We want liberty; we want freedom. We’re going to do it our way.” My friend, you’re not going to do it your way, because God’s will will finally prevail. The prayer should be for all of God’s people—"Thy will may be done on earth as it is in heaven.” God’s will is going to ultimately prevail. Now anything contrary to His will is sin, and it doesn’t make any difference what that is.

“Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will rest you.” That’s His invitation today. He says to those that have got strife in their hearts, have got guilt in their hearts, that you can come and He removes it all. He tonight has made peace by the blood of His cross for any sinner that will trust Him. And that’s the peace that He’s offering to this world. Do you know what it is? Have you trusted Him? Have you actually experienced what it is to come to the Lord Jesus?

You’re going to know Him when you see Him by the nails that were in His hands. He will wear scars throughout eternity that He might present you without blemish. He loves you. He loves you. It’s tragic when we don’t love Him. God has a remedy for every sin but that one, because that’s the remedy. You’re turning your back on love when you turn your back on Jesus Christ. And He loves you, and you can’t keep Him from loving you. He loves you. That’s the reason He died 1900 years ago—to save you. Have you ever, ever accepted Him? Received Him? Do you know today He’s your Savior?

“Sing unto the Lord; for he hath done excellent things: this is known in all the earth.” God’s done great things. In creation, you’ll notice of the six days of renovation, it’s quite interesting. Every day when it’s come to an end, the Lord looked upon it and saw it was good. Now when God looks upon a thing and sees it’s good, it’s good. And even today in the earth that’s been cursed by sin, my, it’s still beautiful. Think what it’ll be when the curse is going to be removed. So, we’ll have an occasion to sing praises to Him in that day and we do today.

“Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation.” Now salvation here, you’ll notice, is not a thing. It’s a person. Salvation is not a program, it is not a religion, it’s not a system, it’s not a ritual, it’s not a liturgy. Salvation is a person. And that person is the Lord Jehovah—the Lord Jesus Christ. That’s the picture that we have here, and they’re praising Him for that.

We think prayer is a little gimmick whereby we turn a faucet, and we get out of it anything we want. Or it’s a hocus pocus that we give in a mystical way over our problems, and they disappear. That’s not prayer in the New Testament sense. Prayer is when you and I go to God as we go to a heavenly Father, and we just tell Him everything. And then He takes over. He takes over. And we take hands off, and then He begins to move—not necessarily in the things outside, but in our own hearts and in our own lives.
