Daniel Curry, But On Earth, He Stood For Me
Some years ago, around a hundred years ago, there was a great revivalist that crossed the country about a hundred years ago by the name of Daniel Curry. He was a wonderful minister, a fine fellow.
And they said one night, he had a dream that he had died and he went up to heaven. And when he got to heaven, he asked at the gate, said, "I am Daniel Curry. I would a--I would a... Coming in." And he said...
The--the gate keeper said, "We have no name here by the name of Daniel Curry."
He said, "Oh, I'm the evangelist." He said, "I have won many thousands of souls to Christ." He said, "I--I--I have a--I'm an evangelist."
The gate keeper looked again, said, "I'm sorry, there's no Daniel Curry here."
He said, "Well, what can I do?"
He said, "You might repeal your case to the great, white throne judgment, if you wish to."
"Well," he said, "I have no other choice." He said he felt hisself going through the air, got lighter, lighter, lighter, lighter. And said, "After while, the Light around him was--was more brighter than the sun and ten thousand times its--its strength." And said, "It wasn't coming from any certain place. It was just everywhere."
And he stopped, and as he slowed up and finally come to a stop, he said he heard a voice say, "Daniel Curry, and you have appealed your case, then, to a--the white throne judgment." He said, "Daniel Curry, in earth, did you ever tell a lie?"
"Well," he said, "He thought he had been a truthful man." But in the presence of that Light, he realized a lot of things that he had told that wasn't right. So will you. Right.
He said, "Daniel Curry, did you ever steal?"
He said, "Well, I..." He thought he had been honest, but in the presence of that Light, a many shady deal he'd seen he pulled that wasn't just right. You might not know it now, friend, but you'll know it in the presence of that Light. That's right.
He said, "Daniel Curry, was you perfect on earth?"
He said, "No, Lord. No, Lord. I wasn't perfect. No, Lord." Said, he's standing just waiting every moment, his bones feel like coming apart to hear that, "Depart into everlasting hell."
And just as he listened to hear that, he said he heard the sweetest voice he ever heard in his life. And when he turned to look, standing by him was the sweetest face he ever looked at. It was the Lord Jesus. He put His arms around Daniel Curry, and he said, "Father, no Daniel Curry wasn't perfect on earth." That's right. "But on earth, Daniel Curry stood for Me. Now, take all of his sins and put them on My account, because I'll stand for d--Daniel Curry in heaven."
I wonder who's going to stand for you, there. And I wonder today, God was so good to you to call you, and you've grieved the Spirit of God away from you, who's going to stand for you at that day? Friend, you better take Jesus and stand for Him today, so He can stand for you at that day. And shall we bow our heads just a moment while you make your decision. Now, I want you to pray just a moment.
I want to ask you a question while we have our head bowed. Who's going to stand for you? Has the joy of the Holy Spirit left you, you don't feeled Him any more. Why, He isn't very far away. He just flew away from you, because you got angry, and because you told that person off, and because you did these things and those things. He hasn't gone very far. He loves you, yet. He's just waiting for you to change your nature, become a lamb."
