Cleared Or Cleansed - Pastor JD Howell 10-26-2025

All right, brother Nathaniel, Genesis chapter number three and verse

number twenty one.

My brother, unto.

Adam also and to his wife, did the Lord God

make coats of skin and clothe them. Unto Adam and

Eve his wife, the Lord gave coats of skins. An

animal or animals died that day in order to cover

created beings that have been created by God Almighty. An

animal or animals died that day in order to cover

created beins that have been created by God. Brother Jesse Leviticus,

chapter number sixteen and verse number fourteen.

And he shall take of the blood of the bullet

and sprinkle it with his finger upon the mercy seat eastward,

and before the mercy seat shall he sprinkle of the

blood with his finger seven times.

On the day of atonement, the high priest would take

the blood of the sacrificial animal and sprinkle it on

the mercy seat. This took place inside of the Holy

of Holies. Basically, the blood served as a covering for

the sins of the Hebrews. I want to say this

before I preach. Over the last couple of days, God

impressed upon my heart to walk around the inside perimeter

of this church for about two hours each day. I

was able to do that. I tried to be obedient

to the Lord. At some point God spoke to my

heart a certain scripture, and I began to pray along

those lines. Specifically, I prayed concerning Psalm twenty four and four.

As it came to me, I prayed he that hath

clean hands and a pure heart. About an hour and

a half later, Brother Nathaniel, my son, came to my

house to tell me he had delivered a female dog

and put it in the pen. He spoke to me,

say hello, and he said, Dad, I was going in

another direction for Sunday school. But in prayer this morning,

God spoke to my heart saw I'm twenty four in

verse number four concerning clean hands and a pure heart.

And Brother Nathaniel had no idea I would be preaching

along these lines this morning. I'm telling you God is

speaking to us here at the Bethel Hole in his church.

He's speaking to our listeners. I thank God that he

is speaking. I don't know what I would do if

he wasn't speaking to us like he is. Let's stand

for the reading of our Golden text Genesis chapter number

forty four and verse number sixteen. The Bible says in

Judah said, what shall we say unto my Lord? What

shall we speak? Or how shall we clear ourselves? God

hath found out the iniquity of thy servants. Behold, we

are my Lord's servants, both we and he also, with

whom the cup has found. No that part that says,

how shall we clear ourselves? Brother, look at that brother

standing next to you and say, hey, neighbor, how can

I clear myself?

You can't. It's gonna take God.

Let's pray, Heavenly Father, we think, and we praise you

so much for everything that you've done for this precious people.

I thank you for people of light, precious faith. I

thank you for the common denominator Father, that we have

in Jesus.

Lord.

The purpose of mine here today is to come and

to worship you and to inquire of you in your temple.

And there's no doubt you have spoken to Brother Nathaniel

as well as I concerning this topic.

Today.

I pray that you would anoint this thy servant, set

a guard at my mouth, and help me to say

the things that you would have me to say. Nothing

more less, annoint the ears of this thy people, that

they might hear what the Spirit of God says under

the church. This day We'll give you praise and honor

and glory in Jesus' name. In the church said Amen

our Texas found in an Old Testament book of the

Holy Bible, the Book of Genesis. It is known as

the Beginning of the Bible. It is the Book of Creation,

a book on birth. Not only does this book begin

with creation, soon after it begins to mention the great

fall of Adam, which is the great fall of humanity

or the great fall of mankind. In the recent past,

Brother Samuel Howell spoke to the church along those lines.

He said something about Adam and Eve partaking of the

forbidden fruit, which led to their separation from the triune Godhead.

And after Adam had blamed Eve, and after Eve had

blamed the snake, after neither of them took responsibility for

their own actions, and after their blatant and wilful disobedience

to God, they were left alienated and separated from their

one they.

Loved the most.

They were left alienated, separated from Him whom they loved

the most. Beyond that sin had entered into the world,

we have a lot of young fathers and mothers in

this building this morning.

They can tell you of.

That first time or experience of when they recognized that

their little child as innocent as it had been previously

in prior, that that little child was tempted to sin.

I remember the first time Brother Jeremiah told a lie.

I looked at that little toddler.

And I was amazed that he had that ability.

Thought, I thought the young.

Man was inafallible, incapable of sinning. But oh, he proved

me Rome, Sister Howl, and I will remember the reality

of understanding that our children are born into sin and

that they needed a savior. And thank God, around the

age of four, five and six, just about every one

of our children knelt somewhere and they prayed and asked

God to save them from their sins. Apparently, Sister wood

and they had felt alienated or separated from the presence

of God. So y'all think about that when sin first

entered the world, there is no doubt the world felt differently.

Immediately after sin and.

Death entered the world, the atmosphere changed. Perhaps seconds after

Sin entered the world, a lion was seen licking his

chops while another lunged at a gazelle for the first

time a crocodile snapped at a bird. How did Adam

and e feel after the fall? I know there's people

in this building that do not practice sin. They do

not commit sin habitually. You can tell that when they sin,

they trust in their advocate, and sometimes they pray and

ask God to forgive them from their sins, and they're

made clean and they feel restored in their relationship with

the Lord. While others, for whatever reason, choose not to pray.

Things tru and they seek not restoration with the Lord.

But concerning Adam and Eve, at least we can find

indication here that they felt unclean after sin, and after

sin became guilt and shame.

I don't know about you all, but I never liked.

The feeling of a visit from doctor guilt and nurse shame.

I never feel good about that house visit when they

come in to check me and to do an evaluation

to see it to be anything in my life that

would be unpleasing to the heavenly Father. And there's some

people in this building this morning, undoubtedly that is living

with guilt and shame because of their actions. When you

look at our golden texts, you can see that Judah

is speaking up about his transgression. He takes responsibility for it.

He takes ownership for it, something that Adam and Eve

were unwilling to do initially in our Golden Texas said,

Judah said to Joseph and Joseph's bodyguards, those that would

have been in the presence of Joseph, He said, what

shall I say unto my Lord? And what shall we speak?

Or how shall we clear ourselves? God has found the

iniquity of thy servants. Behold, we are my lords of serviants,

and both we and also those that are with us,

the cup has been found. And I paraphrase here the

cup was found in the bag of Benjamin. And while

I was praying, God begin to deal with my heart

about the bag of Benjamin. And I will not title

this message that because the Holy Ghost did not tell

me to title it. But I want to title it

what the Holy Ghost titled it. He said, you're seeking

to be cleared when you should be seeking to be cleansed.

All right, So Judah is asking that Joseph, although he

does not know the identity of Joseph, what can we

do in order to clear this up. What can we

do to clean this up? What can we do to

clear our name or clear our record?

Are you getting it now?

It's clear to see that Judah experience the profound sense

of guilt and shame like Adam and Eve did when

they transgressed against God. Because of Adam's transgression and because

of Eve's transgression, they tried to clear themselves, and they

tried to do that by hiding. The Bible tells us

that they fled from the presence of the Lord. Not

only did they flee from the presence of the Lord,

they hid themselves from God. Why would anybody in a

right state or frame of mind do such a thing?

You will remember the Salama said, whether shall I go

from thy presence? He had learned from the mistakes of

others that it did not matter where you went to,

how fast you flipped, or how far of a leaning

you reach, It didn't matter. The presence of God was

there to haunt you. Doctor Gilt and Nurse Shame would

walk him and point out your faults and your failures.

And so I said, if I make my bed in Hell,

thou art there. And so Adam and Eve figured out

right off that God knows your hiding places. We heard

the Black sister years ago preaching street side, and she said,

you can run, but you cannot hide. For nearly twenty

years I have searched a scriptures to find a record

of Adam and Eve repenting.

I remember going.

Through frost Proof, Florida on the way home after a

wonderful service, and during that two hour drive, God begin

to deal with me as I traveled on State Road

sixty six about the sacrifice of Adam. Where did Adam repent?

Where did Eve repent? And I got to thinking about

that Adam. For twenty something years I have looked for

proof of positive of Adam falling on bended knee and

sacrificing an animal, owning his mistakes and asking God to

forgive him. But there is no explicit proof that they

themselves were able to cover themselves proper live. In fact,

whenever their nekedness was revealed to them, they sought out

fig leafs. This would have been lee of trees that

they had tended to as they kept the garden for God.

And then when God came in their midst, God let

them know that their neckingness had not been covered ipproperly.

Again reminding us of.

Our golden text, and Judas saying, what can we do

to cover this up?

What can we do to clear our name?

What do we need to do to move on and

to get this situation recupied hand or resolved?

Are y'all women?

And you know the Bible teaches us that God showed

them you cannot cover nekedness with fig leafs. The Bible

teaches us that God slaughtered in the animal or animals,

and he covered them with coats of skins. And I

want to tell somebody this morning, your covering.

Is not enough.

The Bible said, he that cover it to his sin

shall not prosper, But whosoever confessed and persacretive shall find mercy.

When we see the neckingness of Adam and Eve, we

see that that neckedness, that outward displayed of the lack

of clothing.

Revealed an inward condition that something was wrong.

They had disobeyed the commandments of God. And I wonder

how many people and churches and families this morning are feeling.

Nked without God.

We will remember, during the revelation of Jesus Christ to

the faithful apostle John, he said, there's some people over

there having church, and they're in a religious assembly. They

have gathered together in the name of Jesus, and they

say they are rich and increase with goods, and they

have need of nothing. You'll bear with me as I

walk around here and preach him a little while. As

I was walking around the church, God begin to show

to me the meaning of that scripture. Obviously, it is

indicating they had plenty of clothes. They had a wardrobe

second to nobody else. Because when God tells them about

their current condition and state, he says, you are naked.

You say you're rich and increase with goods and have

need of nothing.

But you're miserabola.

You're your naked, you're undone, you're unclean. And Jesus just

went ahead and laid it on the line like God's word,

and we'll do for somebody.

Here this morning.

Why is there no proof positive in the world of God.

God of Adam and.

Eve attempting to cover themselves properly. According to the Bible,

God covered them properly, and after blood was shed, and

the Bible said, without the shedding of blood, there is

no remission of sin.

I want you to know, if you'll cry real tears,

genuine tears.

And you will pour out sweat, and you will agonize

and with the right heart make restitution with God and

repent of your wrong doings. And you may not be

able to pray out of your poreson blood as Jesus did,

but you can activate the blood of Jesus. And I'm

telling you you pray with blood, sweat and tears and ask.

The Lord to cover your sins.

Somebody's trying to cover themselves with fig leaves, but I'm

telling you you need more than coats of skins to

cover your sin.

Oh. Thank God for their crimson fountain.

It sources the blood flowing out of Emmanual's veins. Blest

is he whose sins are covered. Bless is he who

has been cleans for her ruby red blood.

How of Jesus.

I'm preaching a sermon the Holy Ghost titled cleared her

cleans You need to be cleansed, And would you be

free from your.

Passion and pride?

This power in the blood, I said, this power in

the blood. Oh, thank God this morning for the blood covering.

Oh, Jesus cried, those.

Pig leaves are gonna be insufficient. I wish I knew

which fruit it was that Adam and he partook of

because whatever fruit it was they partook of, it made

them feel their nickingness. It made them recognize their neckdness.

I'm trying to be a little bit witty here. I

said this a few months ago when I was off

somewhere preaching, because I would produce it. I'd have an

orchard or a grove or whatever it was that they

partook of because they felt the need to cover their

nickedness since they would not be selling that fruit by

the bushel. Because there's a lot of people. Outwardly they

are naked, I said. Outwardly they are naked. Brother Bill

you Houston said one time, he said, the way some

of these men and women are dressing, they would be

less vulgar if their neckarness was exposing and their shame revealed,

he said. Because of the way they're scantly clad and

the way they're situating certain parts, and the way they're

ornimating and decorating certain parts of they are very filthy

and very vulgar and very.

Nasty, he said.

But if they went ahead and exposed their shame and

their nickness, everybody, I see just how filthy and how disgusting.

They really are.

Oh, come on, I'm telling you, when you're neked spiritually,

when you have no covering, when you have nowhere to hide, y'all,

remember the Bible said in the lasst of the last days,

men would be running to the rocks, and they would

ask the rocks to f all hold them. They're seeking

a covering, My sister, how will they forgot they needed

a cleansing? And I want to tell you, if you

will be cleansed, you won't have to be covered. I said,

if you will be cleansed, you won't have.

To cover it up. Amen. Amen, You're so cool, you Amen.

How many regenerated believers do we have in this building today?

It looks like about seventy something people raise their hands

and said, I've been cleansed and covered by the blood

of the Lamb. Do you feel the holy covering upon

your soul? Brother Thomas Steric, There's no doubt about it.

You feel it? Brother Jesse, howell do you feel it

upon your soul?

Oh?

Thank God about the Holiness Church. I want to tell

you this morning that your filthy rags you're covering your

righteousness is not enough. Our righteousness is as but filthy rags.

God was not telling you not to try to have

a righteous lifestyle or righteous living as your own. In fact,

he said, accept your righteousness exceed that of Describes and

the Pharisees.

Or are you listening to me?

This generation throsem their righteousness out in order to have his.

But you've got to have yours. But up to his

it is as filthy rags. And I want you to

know we're right here this morning. We're seeking his righteousness.

I said, we're seeking her. He is a righteousness, Ask

and ye shall receive. Ask her for righteous Why didn't

Adam just say, God, I feel naked? God, how do

I clear myself? How do we clear clean this up?

All we gotta do is fall down in the altar

and pray. That's what brother Aaron Wood and I was

talking about. I mean, we've all made mistakes. Ah have

sin and faull in short of the glory of God.

But we don't understand why people refuse to pray. We

don't understand why people don't back up or bounce back,

go come on, but rather they bounce out. They bound

right out of churches into hell. That's what happened with Judas.

Jesus knew his heart. Jesus knew Judas was looking for

a cover up. Judas was looking for a way to

clear it up. But Judas should have being right here

at the feet of Jesus. That's where Peter found himself.

When Peter felled, just like Jesus told him, he welling.

Peter went out and he wept bitterly. I'm asking you,

where are the heart filled tears? Where is the broken spirit?

Where is the brokenness? Where is the cry?

Oh God? I can't clear it up, but I need to.

At least Judah got to the place, Sister Hannah where

he told this pharaoh, this governor, how do I get

my baby boy, Benjamin, my baby brother Benjamin, How do

I get him out of this mess?

How do I get him out of this fix?

My daddy's dog gonna be happy about this silver goblet

being in Benjamin's basket. Hold, Judah, you're being honted by

selling your brother this a Hold Judah, you're being hotted by.

Not knowing what happened to him.

Hojudah, that's so much more happen to clear up than

you running down Amen, clean hands and a pure heart

Psalm twenty four first number four. God gave the pastor

and the youth pastor around the same time yesterday.

The Bible said, draw nut of God, and he will

draw night of you.

Cleanse your hands, ye sinners, and purify your hearts. He

double minded. Basically, you need the blood. I said, you

need the blood. You don't need counsel You don't need

a psychologist, you don't need a psychiatric ward to camp

out in. You don't need a hychiatrist speaking to you.

You don't need marital counseling. You need the blood. Church,

do you have my back? I'm telling three or four

here this morning. You need the blood to say you're

sick and you're not sick. And the mischurch that is

to lie, to manipulate your balsam, and your employer, that

is a lie.

Are you all listening to me?

Oh my God in heaven, I'm telling you, I'm not

looking for a cover up scheme. I'm not looking for

fingers to point as somebody else. I'm asking somebody right

here in this building this morning to say, like Judas said,

how shall we clear it up? How shall we clear ourselves?

And then he goes on and say, God have found

out the iniquity of thy servant. And then we see humility.

He's bowing before his lord. Who is this lord, Lord,

this governor, the second command of Pharaoah. He doesn't understand,

he doesn't understand.

It's Joseph.

That silver goblet is in the bag, in Benjamin's bag,

brother Jeremiah, seeking to be cleared, when they should be

seeking to be cleansed, cleared or cleansed as the title

cleared or cleanse. You see, whenever you get cleansed by

the ruby red blood of Jesus, you're cleared. I don't know,

Sister Howell. This just came to me in prayer yesterday.

I told Sister how I said, I want to stay

in the church and I want to preach to the pews.

I said, I'd be fine with me if I stayed

right here all day long. I just want to preach.

I tell her, Sister Grace, every time I hang out

with the Lord, I just felt like preaching. And that's

how y'all get the midday music, them morning musings and

then midnight musings. It's because I just had to say something.

I just had to preach. I know, we only got

three services a week. It'd be fine with me, brother Jesse,

if we had six or seven services a week. I

can understand why brother William Strickler wanted to have three,

four or five services a week. Our brother Rocap, you

can't with the Lord he gets to speaking to you.

I'm telling you what he'll pour it on you. I

ain't read no commentaries on this message. Just all come

from God. God spoke to you, pastor spoke to your

associate pastor. Let me tell you what your assistant pastor

or your youth pastor spoke to all of us. And

so anyway, brother Jacob, God begin to deal with me.

I don't know that Adam and Eve took off their

little bikinis that they had made out of fig leaves.

I doubt that they got more naked than they had

you follow than they were.

Now, come on, are y'all saying Amen?

And I believe their attempt at righteousness was covered by

His righteousness. That sweet Jesus come by the one that

breathed life into their nostrils, and they become living souls. Right,

the one that took the rib out of that man's

rib cage and formed the woman and gave her to man,

sister woot and I don't feel like you said remove

the fig leaf of bikinis. I believe he just covered

them up some more. Oh, come on, now, y'all know

that was the problem with Noah's situation right up. Those

two boys come in to cover Noah's nickingness. He had

got drunken. I doubt it was intentionally. I doubt it

was on purpose. But them two boys that meant something

to him, they covered him up. How am I preaching

to you? That covered him up? But there was one

that laughed. That is nickingness. I'm not talking about making

the drunker. I'm not talking about making the drug addict.

I'm not talking about pointing fingers at them or I'm saying,

let's preach the best we can. Let's try to drape

covering over them. But it's gonna take more Noah than two.

More is dragging a covering over you know where you're

gonna have to go out.

You're gonna have to make socrifice. Then you're gonna have

to repent of that moral.

And I tell her, somebody, it's good to have a pastor.

It's good to have a church that tries to cover

you with prayer.

But you need more. They recovering. You need a cleansing. Amen. Amen.

He else will call you the mighty Man of God. Jacob,

you know the one that God like to brag about.

I am the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob, the

Mighty Man of God. Jacob and his family are experiencing

a season of dryness. There is a famine in the land,

and the patriarch Jacob, he sends his grown sons into

the land of Egypt to find sustenance for their families.

It's do or die. It's search and live, seek and

find or die. The targeted commodity is corn. There ain't

no corn anywhere where they've been living. There's no rain

to fall on the stalks, there's no barns, there's no

kernels of corn. But in the land where that commodity

is in abundance, they come stumbling in there. And not

only is it a commodity, it's in plenty, it's in abundance.

This mystery Hebrew Pharaoh has built bigger barns, and he's

laid up.

In store for all of the world.

And he's making the Pharaoh of Egypt millions and millions

and millions of dollars in today's currency. Hey, they have

no idea that's their brother. They're dealing with the guilt

and the shame of selling him to the Midianite caravan.

They're dealing with the fact of the lie to Jacob

and said, here's the covering of the boy. Here's the

covering of the boy. A wild beast has come and

killed him. Sister, howell, one lie has led to another liar.

That's led to another liar, that's led to another liar,

has led to enough.

Come on now.

And so Judah, whose name means praise, he's at the

point now where he's thinking, God knows what we've done,

and our iniquities have caught up with us. And that's

what the Bible said, be not deceived. Oh come on now,

Oh are yo we may say it, be not deceived.

God is not mock whatsoever mayor so that shall he

also reap. I'm telling us, somebody, you're looking for a commodity,

and there is corner in abundance in the land of choseap.

But in the land of Jesus there is plenty. There

is bread enough, and despair. Nobody's going to bed. Pulling

back to covers and exposing rib cages because of a

lack of something that I want you to know. In

the land of Egypt, everybody has got plenty, I said, everybody.

Has got plenty.

So they're in search of a savior, and they're in

search of something in their search leads them to a

land that has the food source and abundance. It's a

strange land. I know that altar bench seems like a

strange place. I know it seems like you're unfamiliar with

him because there's been a wat since you had to

talk with him. But you know, whether long or short talk,

just to talk with Jesus will make it right. And

they're directed to a man that no doubt initially put

a big smile on his face that changed to a scowl, lifted,

eyebrows furrowed, and he realized, this is the culprit, and

these are the henchmen, these are the brethren. Here they

are right now, and I got what they need. They

deserve death, they deserve imprisonment, they deserve to disappear like

I disappeared. I can make them disappear in a dungeon

below the pyramids, and says to how Jacob will never

know what happened to them. I can send Egyptian messengers

to their father and tell them this happened.

A wild beast did this to.

Them, and I can torment them, and I can torment

their daddy. But Prince and Joseph and his brethren was this.

He had no old desire to torment the innocent. He

had no old desire to torment the non guilty. Come on,

I'm preaching, and I'm telling you, when you're honest in

your heart, you'll want to get it right for yourself,

for your family, for your church family, and for your friend.

A Amen.

He's the governor of the land now, and he's standing there.

I know it's Sunday morning. We've shouted already, we've shouted

just a few minutes ago, you know. But I got

a burden for you tonight. This morning. I'm preaching to you,

Brother Jesse. These brethren didn't recognize him, but he knew

who they were. And I'm telling you you may not

even recognize how miraculous it is that God dealt with

your pastor and youth pastor to tell you all you

got to do is ask him to clean those hands

up and purify that heart. Double minded. And you know

what Sister Woot and I noticed in this narrative, Brother Caleb,

they must deal directly with Jesus. But I want to

deal with you, Pastor. I want to tell you all

about it. There's some details that I need to know about,

short simple sentences. I don't need long paragraphs. But we

need to tell him all about it right here, and

you need to deal directly with him. That's one of

our problems with the Roman Catholic Church. You had to

go through that intercessor, and that pope is supposed to

intercede on your behalf. But I'm telling you this morning,

go through the difficult process and get rid of guilt

and shame. What they did to their brother Joseph. They

knew they had done wrong. Why doesn't it break your

heart that you've done people wrong? Why doesn't it break

your heart that you're the haus of somebody spiral and

headlong into hell? Why does it not break your heart

that people of good people, innocent people have suffered at

your hand. The memories of what they did haunted them.

And now, sister, how everything's unraveling. It's going wrong. The

computer is going haywire, y'all ever seen an old calculator

from about thirty forty years ago, an add machine, go haywire,

Just start spitting that receipt paper out for the sake

of time. Let's advance and move ahead. At some point,

Judah spoke up after the Governor's silver goblet was found

in Benjamin's bag. How shall we clear ourselves? Judy, you

need to clean up and clear up something. One of

them that I felt came to mind so strongly while

I was praying yesterday, is human trafficking.

Human trafficking. You took a blood relative.

And you sold him for peanuts, so to speak. Judah,

you're being haunted for human trafficking. Judy, you're being haunted.

Sons of Jacob, y'all are being haunted because you looked

at an old man and told him your baby boy,

the possessor of the coat, is dead. You watched the

old man go in his tent and grieve himself until

his spirit died, and y'all him walk around the camp

for years upon years with hollowed eyes. Sister Howell with

him questioning did I hear from God or not? Did

I receive the promise of God or not? Those cruel sons,

I'm going to tell you something about Irish wooting and

Jeremy How. After a couple of years, I think we'd

have went over there and said, listen, he's alive. We

just got to find him. Is that the truth? Just

to How you just said, that's the truth. I know

Jeremy How and Irish wooting. See this, it's represented death,

but it actually represents life. In fact, if Jacob had

lived in this day and hour, he'd have called a

forensic scientist and said, I got an article closing. I

need to send you y'all feeling what I'm a feeling.

The report from the forensic scientist would be that ain't

the blood of your boy?

Huh?

Your boy yet lives. He's out there somewhere. We just

gotta find him. I won't tell you, Sister Teresa, your

boy yet lives. He's out there somewhere. We just gotta

find him. Sister Hamm, And I tell you she yet lives.

She's out there somewhere, We just gotta find her. I

love what I'm a feeling right now. I feel the

shower and I feel the crier. I don't know whether

this shot glory to God on top of my lungs,

or fall on my knees and cry like a baby.

I'm being torn so many different ways emotionally. My soul

was so thrilled, so as to how I feel that

my heart's gonna explode my chest. I'm about as excited

as I was on my wedding day. All you need

is a cleansing. I wonder how Joseph felt when Judah,

whose name meant praise, he said, what can we do

to clear ourselves? Joseph knew right now and says to

how the cleansing is about to happen. Brother Nathaniel, the

Holy Girl spoke to both of us yesterday. How can

I get clean hands? You know how to get your

hands more dirty than anything, by hands that shed innocent blood,

those hands that shed innocent blood. So it should be

lifted up as holy hans. How can we clear ourselves?

How can we have a clear conscience? Easily through Jesus

Christ and by his blood? These brothers asked their brother

for forgiveness at some point, Brother Jesse, when you come

to the piano, may we stand this morning? Romans five

and one said, Therefore, being justified by faith, we have

peace with God through Jesus Christ, our Lord.

I'll tell you all this. We're not against you. We're

for you.

We're not against any person in this building or any

person that's ever been, or any person that ever will be.

We're for you. But the cleansing will begin right here.

There was a preacher that was going around, making a

sport of talking about the sins of other people. And

if I called this preacher's name, you know who he was.

And sister, how the conversation always led to something somebody

else done something. He assumed somebody else had done something,

someone else had said, somebody had done evil surmises, assumptions.

And this man was just the king of the gossip goblins.

He owned the rumor Mill and brother stare at. He

was going around and he made, if you would, his living,

supposedly preaching, but really he made his living gossiping about

the saints, talking about the faults and the failures of others.

And finally he came into the company of a real

man of God, and the real man of God.

Asked him a question.

He said, are these people you're speaking of my brothers

and sisters? And he said yeah, He said, of these

people you're speaking of attending good churches. He said yeah.

He said, are these people you're speaking of Christians? He

said yeah, And here's what he said. He said, I

know not then what you speak of this day, because

you can't take me past the blood. They've repented. It's

under the blood. I feel the holy ghosts in this place.

I question them people that every time I get around them,

and then once I say something like this, they know

not to say things around me, but they still say

it around everybody else. But I question a preacher that

goes anywhere talk about the faults and the failures of others.

Usually when a preacher's doing that, he is guilty of

some gross sin, almost in every case, because they're always

pointing at others. I'm not talking about preaching against sin.

I'm talking about gossiping. Would love him my heart and

with the prayers of the saints, and in harmony between

the pastor and a youth pastor, God has spoke to

somebody today. You're trying to clear yourself, but you need

a cleanse, and would you come. I don't want everybody

just to fall into the altar right now. I'm not

giving a general alter call. Is there somebody that would say,

you know what I understand. I need to pray this

through perhaps a young man, a young woman, a mom,

a dad, an elder. I need to pray this through God,

to be somebody for the way God dealt with us.

I'm tired of covering it up. Here's two brothers, two

men as. There's somebody else. I'm tired of making excuse.

Here's another of somebody else. I just need an old

fashioned blood bath. I just need a cleansing. All you

need is a cleansing. I appreciate the attempt at covering.

I appreciate the churching. I appreciate the singing. I appreciate

the getting in. I appreciate the righteousness, but we need

His righteousness. Is there another? There's three in the altar.

I felt like there'd before. I really feel like there's

one more. Where are you? It's weighing heavy over here

on the men's side.

There's three.

On the men's side. Brother Nathaniel touched on some things

that I didn't get too. He said, is it in

your heart? He said, because the long group stays in there,

it grows, and before long you'll take action.

You'll act upon it.

One more in the name of Jesus, one more. I

know you're here. I need to pray one more. See

what you're wanting to do? You want to blend when

everybody else comes. You want to be covered by your neighbor.

But what God's asking you to do is step out

by yourself for a cleansing. Are you sneaky? Are you

stealing time that you should spend with God and giving

it to the world. Brother Nathaniel, didn't miss it in

that Sunday school class, Pastor how didn't miss it?

This morning? There's four? Is there one more?

Perhaps? See this sister came down by herself. There's nowhere

to hide. And until you get to the place you'll

make the walk by yourself, you can't get to help

you need. Thirty five years ago, I celebrate, Oh Jesus,

this month is my spiritual anniversary, Brother Nathaniel. I walk

down by myself, not caring what anybody else thought, and

I said, God, I need a cleansing. What the gossip

goblins of all movements, Pentecostal holiness and more, what they

need is a cleansing. They need their tongue cleanse, they

need their heart cleanse. There's six now good people wonderful people.

There's seven. Now, let's all just find a place to pray.

I want us to pray for a while. We're having

good services today, but I want somebody to get up, clean, clean,

Go ahead, brothers, sing it. Judas said, how shall we

clear ourselves?

Good? Can myen? It's me? Oh Lord, it's.

Me, o Lord, in the need of prayer, kneeling or

standing me.

Again? Nothing? Lord.

The heart is the center of our being. Ches It's

the command center for desire, integrity, intelligence, emotion, the issues of.

Life that makes me whys.

Ow Jesus, Jesus.

The word?

Why is it in the heart?

Purify your heart? Oh, pleasues?

Can we get a plea from the pit? Can we

summons the savior right now? Somebody cry out of the America, Jesus,

cleanse me, cleanse me.

Jesus, Jesus.

For my board, sassy. Nothing but the blove.

Now when you knelt, the blood fell. Nothing but the blood, Jesus.

That's what I need, not the blood.

The blood, the Bloodesus.

Oh mescy, it's the blood that makes me words found time.

Nothing but the bus no a theme?

Can forcing a doone? Nothing but the blood Ofgesus and

not of good.

That I have done.

Oh, nothing but the blood Ugus, Oh blessis the blow

that makes me why no no.

Found? Time go, nothing but.

The bles Logysus.

For my pardon.

The I see nothing but to blur love Jesus and

for my cleansing.

This is my belief.

It's nothing but the blur Lologyesus. A Blessius sees the blow.

That makes me whyss no no found?

I know

Nothing but the blur Ofgesus.
