Pastor Appreciation - A Dedicated Hand For God's Man - Bro Jim Irvin 10-19-2025

The road gap Sunday School is commendous.

All back in Sunday School, I'm under pressure, and uh

it was it was just tremendous.

Uh uh just everything everything's being said, I would.

Say, it is it is, I say right, honor.

For us to be her honor your man of God,

and I, uh I can feel back in the house

this morning. Uh it it is a testimony for the

the power of God and the hand of God.

On this man of God his family, but right.

His family, and uh it is a witness a man

of God is done and doing.

Oh and uh I.

Give your owner brother a house in the first lady

in your charity.

I'm nervous, alright. And then all the children appreciate, appreciate

so very much. Uh everything was just wanted. I didn't

enjoy the youth bore song and the song beg a

song and uh just I was back there wife, the ti,

I gotta us hanky today and then ah, well, this

is Laury Park out here, and I don't wanna do

honor to what the Lord death with.

Now leaned over to my wife, I said, I believe

I know now while the Lord put this on my heart,

and uh I believe you'll say as as it be.

Ceremone, chapter number twenty six. Jeremond chapter number twenty six.

Just uh friend asking the Lord meditate for for quite.

Some time, and uh.

Spending spending hours and hours. Yeah, I tryd to to

hit the mind of the Lord on their and Jeremiah

chapter twenty six and a man verse number eight. And

the Bible said that came to pass when Jeremiah made

an end of.

Speaking all that the Lord had commanded him to speak

into all the people, that the priest and the prophets

and all the people took him, saying, thou shalt surely die,

Why hast thou prophesied in the name of the Lord,

saying this house shall be like Shiloh, and this city

shall be desolate without inhabitant. And all the people were

gathered against Jeremiah in the house of the Lord. And

when the princes of Judea heard these things, then they

came up from the king's house unto the house.

Of the Lord, and set down in the entry of

the gate of the Lord's house.

Then spake the priest and the prophets unto the princes

and all the people, saying, this man is worthy to die,

for he hath prophesied against this.

City, as you have heard with your ears.

Then make Jeremiah, and to all the princes and to

all the people, say the Lord, the Lord sent me

in a prophesie against this house and against this city.

And all the word that you have heard.

Therefore, now amend your ways and your doings, and obeying

the voice of the Lord your God, and the Lord

will repent him of the evil that he have pronounced

against you. Ask for me, behold, I am in your hand.

Do with me as it seemeth good, and me unto

you Verse number twenty. There was also a man that

prophesied in the name of the Lord, Yejaiah, the son

of Shemayah, of courageous Jeralm, who prophesied against this city

and against the land, according to all the words of Jeremiah.

And when Jehak came the king and all his mighty

men and all the princes heard his words. The king

sought to put him to death. But when your Jaiah

heard it, he was afraid and fled and went into Egypt.

And Jehak come to king sent men.

Unto Egypt, namely Eliphan, the son of Chabar and certain

men with him to Egypt. And they fixed forth your

Jaiah out of Egypt and brought him unto Jeha come

the king, who slew him with a sword and cast

his dead body into the graves of the common people. Nevertheless,

the hand of a Hanrikem, the son of Chaffan, was

with Jeremiah.

That they should not give him unto the hand of

the people to.

Put him to death.

Amen, you may be seated.

A man. First Corinthians, first Corinthians one more f and

in one Corinthien six and nineteen. The Bible says, what

know ye not that your body is the temple of

the herd of a man, the temple of the Holy Ghost.

I want us to turn our teaching for a little

bit to Jeremi twenty six and twenty four, the last

verse of that chapter. And I feel like this is

what I want to preach, if the Lord would help us.

The Bible says, nevertheless, the hand of a handicamb, the

son of Safan, was with Jeremiah, that they should not

give him to the hand of the people to put

him to death.

Amen.

Young's literal translation of this verse reads only only the

hand of a Handicum half being with Jeremiah so as

not to give him up. Amen, either hand of or

Hannakim had been with Jeremiah so as not to give

him up. You see, Jeremiah was a man that was

in trouble.

He may.

It had been some.

Time since the great revival in jo Hulkem's grandfather's Jay Josiah.

He man, it was then you remember that the word

of God was found in the Temple of God.

What a revival that they had.

And then what a move of God that they experienced.

A man, But it hadn't been a long time ago,

he man, And now.

The nation had backslid and transgressed against the word of God. Hey, man,

it got so bad he went from revival he met

in a mother of God, until now they wanted the

preacher dead.

And then the king had killed your child.

And humiliating the other. Nothing in burial.

Amen.

If there ever was a day that Jeremiah needed somebody

to stand in him.

It was him that day.

He goes.

And then let's look a little bit closer to Jeremiah's day.

The priests and the prophets the Bible said they took Jeremiah,

and this is what they.

Said, thou shalt surely die.

They were up so full of hatred toward this prophet Jeremiah.

Why he had preached and prophesied against the city, saying, turn.

Ter, tell her every man from his.

He away and hearting unto the Lord, walk in his law,

lest I make this city a curse. And he set

am in your ways, he man, and your doings. And

o'bay the voice of the Lord your god. Amen, because

he said, turn every man from his evil way.

Let me see.

Jeremiah was a prophet that cried against the sins of

his day a man.

And Satan hates the man that is not afraid to

cry against today's sins. And the goble said, again, listen, Hamen,

Satan hates the man. Hemen, that is not a trade

to cry against today's sins. It's one thing to say

things up days long, bye, But I'm talking about today's sin.

He said, brother Jim, what are.

You talking about? The Latians Chapter one, in verse four,

the Bible says, listen, he's been speaking from the Lord.

The Bibles of the Lord.

Now he said, who gave himself for our sins?

Not this morning?

Fat He might deliver us from this present evil world.

He said it was a present evil man, Yes it was.

And then second Peter one.

In twelve, the Bible says, wherefore, I will not be

negligent to put you always in remembrance.

Of these things, though you know the owner, and be.

Established in the present truth, a present truth.

And that aren't you glad for a man of God

that can see a present trus to come out a

president evil?

I said, aren't you glad for a man of God,

a man.

That can see a present truth to come out of

present evil?

You see God's being always proclaiming a current message.

That's why they hated Jeremiah.

He had a current message and he had a present

truth to combat a present evil. Listen, Amen, it was

in Nampaul's days, so it must be an r day. Men.

I fear nothing but God and sin. There's been some

allusion to Amen, people selling out, and we are in

the sellout. Oh, yes, we are.

An Listen, the Bible says Diteronomy thirty two and seventeen.

He's versus that the Lord may reel to me some.

Time ago, and they're at my church, and we face

things just like every other church does.

Amen.

And we gotta take stands on things, and some new

and some appreciating something don't really cared. Hear the Lord

give me this Judoronoly thirty two and seventeen, the Bible

said they sacrifice unto devils and not to God, to

gods whom they knew, not to listen new gods.

That came newly up to whom your father's feared, not

to new God.

So that came newly up he man.

You see, it was that then would upset the people,

as it was in his days, so it is today.

He men knew God, so he men knew God.

Same old sin he mad, same old devil, shame, al temptation.

They then they just changed the name a little bit.

They then knew gods news things.

He and I'm telling you what.

God Jeremiah trouble.

He now was his willow to stand against the news

things the new they name God to.

That hour that was wreaking.

How they apolo church.

Gone first time the people they preached against things to me,

I've done it.

They didn't apologize. They didn't say, well, if you didn't mind,

you liked it.

It was heaven or hell came.

Lie round, black or white. You weren't either me or

you were out.

There wasn't a great area to know here, he paint.

God for the preacher, he did not pointed his finger

in me and said, it's always man, and you're gonna

keep dolly always to me.

God, Man, I remember me and my brother don Rich

coming on. Never heard what in the Little Chicken Sea?

Yeah, he God, And man, I.

Remember when I heard that tape A tape now and

I see the many man you have. Well, I'm not

gonna give you all this a fine art to play

in the tape.

Man, God, get the old when you understand what I'm saying.

And I remember brother don Rich got up there and

he preached the message on was getting the Little Chicken Sea.

And those that have heard that message.

Hey man, he said, you know, he said, I haven't

had a television since I got saved. And if I

got saved, he said, I never had a television if

they got saved.

But if I had one, let me tell you what

I'd do with it. I gold that old bulger hut.

I carry it down to the banks of the river.

I shoot it up with my shotgun. I chop it

up with my double bit, chopping as.

I scattered up and down the banks of the river.

Hut.

Then I get on my hands on my knees and

I'd apologize to the stuns, to the rat so he

maan to the vultures for bringing such a filthy thing into.

Their wild and pullet there wild.

And now that's what they preached to me.

Coming, I'm killing you.

A day of ne flicks, a day of red Boxer there,

and a day.

Come on in a live stream on our fall. And

and I'm telling you, and now it's a dark dollar day.

It's a dark collar about.

That's a present evil.

I said, It's a present.

Evil in our area, Amen, in our area.

Amen. I'm at and t here.

Just a few years ago this was there was a

reborn out, heymen, that that of usage on the cell

phones is skyrocketing.

Had you been in the last ten years that of usage.

Has went up to one hundred and fifty thousand percent.

Held on here, hemen.

And when I when I looked at that, they said,

in the last year it had went I'm seventy five

percent along that year.

And then I'm telling you, they.

Said, amaze.

I'm trying to get to I need to people, Amen.

But I'm telling you, are we caught up in the

viewing craze of our.

I say you, they know you can't pray, plus of you.

They you can't stay. But please you, it's got a

hold up. FuG your eyes at heaven. And I'm telling

you now, that's our time. But it's a president. All

we don't all these people.

We don't watch television. It's said the same man. He's

been countless, countless hours viewing youwing youwing you.

It's been several years ago now talking to some young

people may mention to God. And uh, I guess I've

never heard of him before, a Christian comedian. And uh

he said, I was over brother so and so and uh, man,

you gotta see this. And I said, I don't see that,

and uh they got talking. The more they got talking,

the harder I got. He said this he done.

Now I've seen and the other one.

I looked at it and I said, wait a minute, yeah,

I had a hardness, manologies for it.

Here.

I looked at that young person, I said, why don't

you just go about a d v D. He watched

the whole thing. I'm not far d v d's and

I'll telling you where's called, and if you eased our

we want to be entertained.

All lovers of plession, all of the lovers of God,

come on here.

God needs a dedicated hand to be with his consecrated man.

You need Lamentation three and fifty one with the Bible

still says, my eyes affected my heart. And then then

I'd like to tell us TV's movies, in Hollywood, fashions

and all of these things influence us in this hour. Amen,

I'll tell us for what he's on here hell sewer pipe.

He's not welcome in a whole of his home, nor

on a hold his phone.

Praise God, heluyah.

Hey.

Then I tell you Jeremih me and somebody a friend

to stand that bet hill.

And he found this in a young man by a.

Neighbor and a cad kid, the son of Saffan, who

was a sheaf fan Amen.

Sheaf fan Amen was his father.

If you watch the man, if you do your Bible study,

who has a scribe read the law to Josiah in

the days.

Of the Great Revolver.

It was his family now that would stand with Jeremah

look his hour.

A man his name, his father's name was Saffan. It

meant rock badger. They were known for their shyness, as

badgers are. Amen. But he was the man when God's

word was revealed.

He came out from hiding up and stood and thank

God for the saf fans, a haman of life who

was willing.

To standford all of that.

Such.

I'm a shame ain't at that place. The gospel channel

Atka was his son.

His name means my brother has risen in Annaka town.

The Bible said was with him.

In fact, he stood alone.

And then I'd like to tell us from here this morning.

I don't think for a minute it's not gonna cost you.

I don't know what happened in Anakin's heart.

All I know is that he.

Wasn't gonna let hold ines die in his day. That's

what I was hearing in that song. Hey, I said,

that's what I was hearing in that song.

He didn't notice with me Anakin's peril. His father had

influenced the former revival, yet his own.

Family was in TURMOA ain't in for it. Ezekiel ain't.

In the letter, God reveals her ain't an Annaka and

had a brother.

His name was j has A a.

And then let's see what God said about you has A,

and I said. God brought Ezekiel to the door of

the corner, and he noticed a hole.

In a waha. And God said, son of man, dig

now in the Lawa. And Ezekiel said.

When he digged in the wall, there was a door,

and God told Ezekiel go in and behold the licked

abominations that they're doing there.

So Ezekiel went, and he saw the creeping things, anondable.

Peace, and all the idols of the house of virtual

the train upon the law.

Never put it in the present thing.

When he come in, he saw Florida Gator posters on

the wall, thinking at the University of Alabama in the

care I come on here, a nice car over there,

a stack of movies in the corner, and they're cutching

music CDs.

So call up there, I'm come on here with the

music player.

And that's what he saw.

By that said, that's what he saw.

Something to the young people. You didn't walk in the road.

You see that time and you experienced that that's supposed

to be holding us.

But they're far not like that.

Ipposed to that.

I'm telling you.

Now, listen, to me, you can't be a hold in

this creature.

A gamer. I'm not saying there may be some game

you can play.

I'm not preaching against just a game and this, but

you can't be a gamer.

Right, God's men have to be well established in the

reality of.

Their hour if they want to make an impact of

this generation.

Or praise an ord.

Teremiah went in and he saw you, But you would

be amazed. You would be amazed what's hanging on the walls.

So some of our holding his people's.

Are here.

Amen, Amen, deacons with buckles and blazing with the university

of whatever, hair tar tags and the bumper stickers.

I don't allow that mess on my stage. Brother, how

has his standard? I'm not even getting there. I trust

him with that, but I'm telling you it's not right.

They're in the midst of the seventy elders of Israel,

each with his own idols worshiping stands Amakin's and brother

zak and Ayah, not in the middle with all the others,

with a censor in his hands, enticing others to revel

in the idolatry of his.

Zac and Iah was not holiness. He was.

The brother of a young man.

He said, I'm gonna stand with God's man. Listen now.

Then I loved the dark.

He reveled in what he committed. He was a young

man that slipped off to the places.

Of the world, the concerts of the world, and partook

of the reveries of this group. Listen, now, I want

you to see something here. Come. The Lord showed me

about this young man that stood. But Jeremiah there was

normal and his family over ho. I'm the only one

that had the face turmol over.

Im.

I'm the only one that family members come and said it.

Don't take that anymore. And no, he is not required anymore.

He knew come on here, and he got to stand up,

and he got a stand to get something.

I'll come on here, Paul told Timothy. And second tifenty

four and sixteen, he said, my first.

Answer, nobody, no man stood with me. Oh man forsuit me.

Not was standing the Lord stud with me? They need me, said,

and I can't I.

Please stand if nobody stand but you, the.

Man of God, I said, where you stand?

Get me all and what that stand?

Talking with you?

A man of God?

He's dedicated. I am for dogs consecrated man right here Lord, days.

Of large and it was over dine.

Oh yeah. He took to be the supporter of God's man. Amen,

he told large?

Was it not?

Told my Lord?

What I did?

I preserved a hundred of God's prophets and fed them.

Basically said a risk my neck. I worked in AHAP's house.

De stain't happen jezabe, Oh for God.

Hy you see it's not what it was?

What he did?

And then overnights?

What over I did?

Not?

What over?

I said.

Him?

I got nothing. I'll say it.

I believe all us I'm And why do you stand

for it?

Say I go?

I said, why don't you think they stand for it?

It's God? What you say?

It's like your God.

I'll say it's.

Good, but just say it for.

Yeah. Amen.

There were men of means, but they were interested in

men's approval and the perception.

That thank him.

But an an I slide.

And he lived a lot that spoke of who he

really was. The church said he's a giver, but.

God said he is a liar.

Lord.

Though his deed was honorable, his motive was deplorable. The Lord,

I'm trying to help the.

Preacher, and I failed to realize a lot to the preacher,

there's a lot of God.

Hear me.

His was an attempt to manipulate men's mines with holy eyes,

and he handled holy things with unholy hands. He was

the New Testament Yusiah of David's die, And because of

his sin, I'll spoke him, hypy lord amen, Hey, my

second sin. I'm trying to hurry second sent the twenty

three and six. The Bible said, but the sons of

Allah shall be all of them as thorns thrust away,

because they cannot be taken with hands. But the men

that shall touch them must be fenced with iron and

the staff of the spear, and they shall utterly be

burned with fire. In the same place, heymen, here the

Bible speaks of thorns and briars, that power and strength

alone cannot handle them.

You know the type men who refuse authority in la.

And don't tell us if you refuse authority in your life,

and you must be handled.

You know, I almost said you're known by the fruits.

At the time that.

Refused to be a part of anything. They're always disagreeable.

Try to include them.

In fact, they really hate it.

I'm good.

They don't want any direction any authority in their lives.

He mean, God says this has to be handled. I

mean that's that man's.

My job.

I mean, guess that's his job.

Amen.

But God said, the.

Man, the champion, the great man, the mighty man, the

outstanding man, will not be destroyed by them. Jeremiah, we

had say the pastor Hayman. The man that will get endure,

the man that must touch them. The Bible said, must

be fixed with iron. One man said that simply meant

that they must.

Have iron in their blood. Men with iron in their blood,

with the backbone, lack of saw log. Come on here, amen,

here it is amen. The Bible said, give handling instructions

for that.

We're gonna hurry on here. The Bible said, first they

need a staff that steaks a firmness. Secondly, they need

a spearhead that is an instrument of conveyance or a

piece of ordnance.

It forces at home, Go on here, when your preacher

has to come down. I heard about the hot seed.

I never heard that force.

I never kid.

I was thinking of a few people in it.

Now you're gonna do that this kind of event, he said,

sometimes gotta be firm.

Somebody you're gonna push that point home. I mean, what happened.

Your dad was a prophet of that day.

His message was faithful according to all that Jeremiah said,

but his heart was dreadful and fearful and faulty. And

when he should have stood, he ran listen, thank God

for a minute. Dog that won't back down, that don't

give up.

Don't let that.

That'll stand fine instead of staying retreating child face God, Hey, man,

come on here, call Louliah.

It gets the stand. And and I tell you, thank

God for a man.

Who has gots the stand whether or not there's already

to the game, that gets the stand that whether glory

is gained or not, stand where.

I don't born here. I don't want to. Man, just

take all the time. So thankful.

But I'm telling you remember there the prophet he saw

the enemy coming in. He said, they we're in trouble,

right a man. But the prophet looked, he said, don't

know them. There's boy that be with us to the orner.

There he looks at the prophet. He said, I see me,

and I see you, and I see you. And God said,

open his eyes. I tell you what we need as

a church right here. It's an eye opening experience, Amen,

to really see what God wants us to see. Come

on here, amen, men with blindness of their heart, blindness

of their eyes.

I mean, listen, it's hard. It's hard on us. And

then as the ministers of the gospel, you do take

a lot of pressure. There is a lot of stress,

my heard. Oh yes, it's.

Hard for those that we've loved for years, that we've

had confidence in years lose the vision. They tell you, it.

Doesn't take it anymore. That's irrelevant for today.

They won't preach irrelevant gor.

Amen. Thank God for a man of God that will

preach your relevant Praise the Lord. I was talking to

somebody just the other day, and I won't try to.

I got a long way to go, but I can

see right now there's no way we'll get to it. Amen.

But I'll tell you right now. I was talking to

a suddenly just the other day at my shirt. I said,

I said, Joseph had a coat of many colors, but

you better not wear come on here, come on now.

I mean you say, brother Jim, Joseph for a call,

And it was many colors, hey man, And I know

it's a symbol promise of God, all that kind of stuff.

But I'm telling you, when I see a young man

with a landow shirt, I got problems with him. Pray Amen,

a present doms for a present truth, for a president evil.

I don't know what the future holds, and I don't

want no cecies around me, no femly wrong.

Had everything that rest it.

Just located hip Sissy.

Calllia, give us dedicated people and the dedicated to Dodd.

And God's word and God's man man that can see,

can you si? You know what I'm finding? More and

more now, young people, Oh that was in your day.

You talk to somebody just recently, young man just rached

away and he told me, he said, said, you found

this out for yourself. You dug this out for yourself.

You come to holness, you dug.

It through it.

You realize how this right for you. That's different. They

preached it to us. I don't even know we do

it and I don't even know. Oh it's no different,

there's no look.

You may have been preached the truth that you want

to find it for yourself. Ain't gonna be plenty of

people saying, don't make it it, don't take it. You

don't have to live that way.

Meluijah, Hey man, I tell you.

That there's things I do today, not because a preacher

doesn't to, not because.

A friend doesn't to. And then I don't do it because.

I feel my God don't walk me to good to

tell Helujah. And then I got an on the head.

That does have personal convictions of Sia. It's sing across

the bar.

But there is some things that God said, don't do it.

Then you'll a frame from You'll take the flower.

Being a dedicated hand that stood with God's man. Two

men as God will stand with you, take me over

because God will stand you.

See what we need. And I believe what Brother Hal

needs his men and women to stand up for him

and his bride and their family. And I believe you

have men here. I can feel that.

But I'm just coming with what I feel like the

Lord give me to encourage you. I mean, it needs

men of courageous hearts, men that is steady and constant, consistent.

That who will be a hand.

For God's man. I want to get someone to come

to this man, I just gonna do. I know there

are men here that stand with your man of God.

I know you do.

Brother, how, I don't know if you're like me, but

there's sometimes I pray brokenly, God give me some help.

Kind of people, But do you have the burden right?

Do you feel the burden that he's under?

Have you felt.

A see? Are you willing to be his armor bearer?

Like Jonathan? Was? Jonathan's armor bear?

Was?

He said, do all that is in my heart and

turn me the hope I am with thee according to

God heart?

Will you be that kind of man? I don't question

your love, you sacrifice.

I can feel that. But will you be an armor bearer?

He was shielder man of God from long tongues and

wicked designs. You be a man of God.

Who understands some things are best left covered. You know

when to talk and when not to talk, what to

say and.

What not to say?

Have you learned the fine armor for silence? We all

go things to think? Brother, how.

We've all faced things unexpected in our lives. You always

have somebody who's gonna Have you heard?

Have you seen? I'm on here?

Not all needs to be said. Listen, I've told my

preachers this, and to clothes. Just because the Holy Ghost

let you know something doesn't mean the Holy Ghost wanted

you to stand up and proclaim it to the church.

Sometimes he told you so you could pray for them

and you could pull them out. Where are God's people?

But are you dedicated enough? Are you willing enough to

be a dedicated hand for God's man? Every word? Would

stand your feet. We're going to give you time. If

this is all right.

Past, We're gonna give you time for pray right here.

Good people, a good church, a great man of God,

and a wonderful family.

Felt like the Lord.

He needs someone now.

I feel like you have some people that I aw

you that deeded, but I may be reaching for one.

Or two and need to step up a little bad.

You love him, you love this mine and his family.

Are you really.
