Dr Lawrence B. Hicks

I love to listen to old sermons…classics!

Dr Hicks was one of the great pulpiteers of the Holiness Movement!

Here’s an excerpt of one of his powerful sermons:

“When you get sanctified, God the Father brings His powerful will to bear on you. 

When you get sanctified, God the Son operates His blood on you. 

When you get sanctified, God the Holy Spirit brings His sweet indwelling Presence to your heart; in so doing the Spirit crowds out everything that is contrary to the Divinity of the Almighty. 

He immediately sets up His throne room in your soul. 

He suddenly purifies the heart by faith, every motive, every urge, every drive, every passion, and over that cleansed domain, rules as God’s governor so completely that the devil may search over your soul, scrutinize your conscience, and be forced to admit that he is unable to find one black blot or particle of carnality remaining! 

The Holy Spirit will constantly abide in your heart, bringing all the precious benefits of the Father and the Son with Him. 

He will whisper sweet love stories to you in the night time, He will sing with you in the day time, and will cause you to walk with the King with every step growing brighter, with every step growing lighter, with every step leading higher until the dusty roads of men will evolve into the golden avenues of Heaven. 

He in His conscious abiding presence will cause that which you have viewed afar to become real when you shall step inside that City of God, all because He has sanctified and we have become one together in Christ!”

(Dr Lawrence B Hicks sermon)
