Amos, Carried To The Crooked (Amos' baby dedication) Bro Jeremy Howell 9-14-2025

Praise the Lord.

Aren't you thankful for how the Lord is blessing our

church with these little ones?

I am the book.

Of Amos, chapter number seven, will be reading verses number

seven through seventeen, Brother Nathaniel, Proverbs chapter number fourteen, verses

number one through three, And.

Brother jesse Luke, chapter number nineteen, verse.

Number ten, Praise the Lord. If anybody's got a pair

of reading glasses, would.

You bring you to me at this time?

Amos chapter number seven, verse number seven through seventeen.

Brother Nathaniel, would you read that?

Proverbs chapter number fourteen, verse number one through three, Thank

your sister him. Every Wise woman buildeth her house, but

the foolish plucketh it down with her hands. He that

walketh in his upright and the spirit the Lord, but

he that has reversed.

In his way despise it.

On. Amen, in the mouth of the foolish is a

rod of pride, that the lips of the wise shall

preserve them.

And Amen.

You will notice in this message this morning that Amos

was one to preach to the prideful person from the

Jesse Loop chapter number nineteen, verse number ten.

Well, the son of man has come to seek and

to say that which was lost, praise the Lord.

The desire of Amos's heart was to help the least,

the lost, and the lonely. Let's stand for the reading

of our golden texts. Amos chapter number seven, verses number.

Seven through seventeen.

The Bible said, thus he shewed me, and behold, the

Lord stood upon a wom made by a plumb line,

with a plumb line in his hand.

And the Lord said it to me, Amos, what seest thou?

And I sent a plumb line.

Then said the Lord, Old, I will set a plumbline

in the midst of my people Israel.

I will not again pass by them anymore.

In the high places of Isaac shall be desolate, and

the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste. And I

will rise again against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.

And Amazi, the priest of Bethel, sit to Jeroboam, King

of Israel, saying Amos has conspired against thee in the

midst of the house of Israel.

The land is not able to bear all his words.

For thus Amos says, Jereboam shall die by the sword,

and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of

their own land. Also Amazi said of the Amos, oh

thou seer, which means prophet, O, thou prophet, go flee

thee away into the land of Judah, and there eat

bread and prophesy there. Literally what Amazi saying, preacher, take

your message back home, take it to your own people.

Perhaps they will hear you verse number thirteen. But prophesy

not again anymore at Bethel, for it is the king's chapel,

and it is the king's court. Then answered Amos and

said to Amazi, I was no prophet, neither was thy

prophet son.

But I was a herdman, and together of sycamore fruit.

And the Lord took me as I followed the flock,

and the Lord said to me, go prophesy unto my

people Israel.

Now therefore hear thou the word of the Lord.

Thou sayest prophesy not against Israel, and drop out thy

word against the house of Isaac. Therefore, thus saith the Lord.

Thy wife shall be inhearted in the city, and thy

sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and

thy land shall be divided by line. And thou shalt

dine a polluted land and Israel shall surely go into

captivity fourth of this land which you pray, Heavenly Father,

with love and we've raising. We thank you for the

opportunity to be in the house of the Lord. We

thank you for your goodness, We thank you for your grace,

We thank you for your mercy.

We pray Lord, that you would annoyed this thy.

Servant, that you would say it. God at my lips,

help me to say.

The things that you would.

Have you to say.

Nothing more or less.

Are going to ears of this thy people, that they

might hear what the spirit of God says unto the

church this morning. Touch baby Amos, Touch his parents, we prayed,

touch his grandparents, touch his church.

Family in a very special way.

We ask God in Jesus' name in the church said Amen,

praise the Lord. I would like to preach a sermon

a message the Holy Ghost titled Amos carried to the cricket.

Carried to the cricket. Our textas found in an Old

Testament book of the Holy Bible, the Book of Amos.

The prophet Amos dwelt among the herd men of Takoa,

and he could also be found amongst those that manicured

sycamore trees or fig trees. He would have been considered

to have been one that was a caretaker of sheep

and fruit trees there in the land of Takoa. At

some point during his life, the Holy Ghost moved upon him.

While he was busy doing what most.

Of the people in the land of Israel would have

considered that little things, the menial task of everyday life

at the family farm. The spirit of God moved upon him,

a young man like King David, that had been set

aside for the master's work, which first included him laboring

amongst his own people and helping his family in the

family business.

We find the spirit of God begin to move upon him.

The fire of God burned in his soul in a

similar manner that it burns inside of every heart of

the preacher. Today, as the fire of God burned inside

of the heart of the bosom of the great prophet Jeremiah.

The fire of.

God begins to burn in this man's heart. We do

not find him to be a priest nor prophet. He

is quick to make the announcement that he is not

of such a pedigree, and he considers himself to be

the least person that God would choose for such a

very special ministry. But we will find that inside of

the heart of Amos was a willingness to not only

seek the truth, but to speak the truth. I'm thankful

for every seeker of truth that is present this morning.

You have said, by your own words of testimony that

you are here because you are a seeker of truth.

Without being coached or cohersed. You have found your way

to this congregation, and you have celebrated with these people

as the words of truth are spoken, and you have

found it to be pleasant and music to your ears.

Any time a preacher of truth speaks the truth, I

want you to know that this person, Amos, wasn't only content.

To be a seeker of truth. He was a speaker

of truth.

And I know that everybody in this building today is

a seeker of truth, but not everybody is willing to

speak the truth. And concern is some that are willing

to speak the truth, not all are willing to speak

the truth in love. Amos was one that spoke the

truth in love, even though sometimes those that heard the

words that were being spoken by this man of God

proved of the words that he was speaking and so

I know there's a handful of men of God in this.

Fielding this morning that are willing to seek the.

Truth, and after they have found it, they're willing to

share it by speaking it. In recent days, we have

heard of a young man that has been a seeker

of truth.

Up until his death, and even at the.

Time of his death, he was speaking the truth in love.

And even though he was speaking the truth in love

so softly and so tenderly, there was a monster called

a demon inside of some people's heart who demanded and

called for his execution or assassination. These people attempted to

silence the voice of truth, which no doubt was one

of the greatest voices of truth in his generation. Has

the voice of truth been silenced? Has the message been stopped?

Most of you in.

This building this morning today would say there is no

doubt in your mind whatsoever that the message will continue

to go forth. The widow of this person declared that

she will seek to it that the message is carried

on from one person to the next, from one generation

to another. God sometimes selects and chooses people that are willing.

To do what no one else is willing to do.

Among the great prophets are both minor and major in

the Word of God.

You find some of them to be descendants of priest.

You find some of the other ones to be descendants

of prophets.

But this man says, I was chosen as.

I worked amongst the herdman, I was chosen as I'm

manicured and maintain fig trees, Brother Jesse, nobody could challenge

the fact that the spirit of God was inside of him.

I believe the great prophet Jeremiah might have been a

son of a priest. If I'm not mistaken, that's coming

to mine right now. I know a lot of them,

great men of God that did great things and great works,

and caused mighty manifestations of God's power to be amongst

the nation of Israel. They were second or third generation ministers.

But here is a man that.

Is surfacing for no other reason than to challenge the

crooked and to carry the words up.

True to a crooked and a perverse people. We find

this man as King David.

In his day, the prophet Amos preferred to dwell amongst

the common people. He was more comfortable with being with

a poor and the paupera that he was being with

a prideful and the prince.

After reading the Short Book.

Of the Bible over the last few days, has become

clear to me that Amos was aggravated because of the arrogant,

and there are people today that can be easily aggravated

by the actions of the arrogant. Amos was such a

person he could not stand pride in the same way

that Father God could not stand pride. We will think

Amos as the opposite, the poor, opposite to Absolute who

relished being prideful. This man, Amos had a special place

in his heart for the least, the lost, and the lonely.

If he lived in this day and hour, he would

be first in line to become part of an outreach.

He'd have a desire inside of him that was.

Put in place there by God to reach out to

those less fortunate, because he felt.

Like those were his people. He identified with him. He

knew what it was like to feel needy. He frowned

upon the oppression of such a people. At this time and.

History, his people were experiencing hardships due to the oppression

of the rich, specifically those located in the Northern Kingdom.

This proft lived in the southern.

Kingdom, and in the Southern Kingdom they were more humble,

they were.

More quite a spirit, they were more selfless. But in

the Northern Kingdom they were greedy and they were selfish.

In fact, business is good in the Northern Kingdom, and

they're prospering in a way like they had prospered in

a good while, and they feel like this promotion and

this prospering has come from the Lord.

And they feel like because they are God's people, they

are prospering in such a manner. But this man that

was a man to man fig.

Trees and depict the fruit they're on him, and to

work with the hertsman of tacoam he becomes disgusted because

he realizes this prosperity bred complacency, and that complacency and

out onness brought forward a gross immorality, and it moved

from the Northern Kingdom into the Southern Kingdom.

And when it began to be carried into.

The Southern Kingdom, he decided somebody's got to do something

about it. The name Amos literally means carried or born

of God, and so as immorality is being carried or

brought into the Southern Kingdom, he decides, not only will

I speak up and stand up against this in the

Southern Kingdom, but I will obey what God is telling.

Me to do, and as a seeker of truth.

I will speak out against the evil Newer and the

Spirit of God mean on him to carry the voice

of truth and the words of truth into the Northern Kingdom.

And it is true that most of the people in

the Northern Kingdom did not want to hear of his

frustrations and aggravations and agitation, brother Jesse impact when he

began to preach.

They made him feel like he was nobody.

They asked, where did you come from, what is your vocation,

what's your occupation?

Who are your parents?

Tell us a little bit about your family history, show

us your family tree.

And after they marnered that he was not.

One in a long line of prophets, they said, little preacher,

take your ministry and your message and go back to

the little Southern Kingdom from whence you came and preach

to your own people where you have no place here.

Can I tell you that the Word of God has

its proper place in any kingdom. It has its proper

place in our churches today. It has its.

Proper place in our countries today. This man, like many

holiness preachers of Pentecostal preachers of yesteryear and today, was

disgusted because.

Of the immorality.

Most people that are seekers and speakers of truth cannot

help but speak against selfishness.

This man was selfless.

He put God first, He put God's message first before

all other things. At one point he left it all

in order to help somebody. It was his desire to

bring reborn into the Northern Kingdom by.

The spoken word of God.

When you study the Writings and the other prophets, you

can see that right off in the writings there.

Are message of hope.

There's streads of hope woven all throughout their sacred writings.

But in the Book of Amos, for the most part,

and it's only a few chapters, you can only find

a few verses of hope. You can tell that the

Spirit of God had revealed the Amos that these people

are gonna hear what you say. They're gonna put a

finger in each.

Ear so to speak, and they are going.

To reject your words and not accept them.

So while bother trying to make cricket things straight.

If we know they're not gonna receive the instructions that

would make crooked ways straight.

Anyhow, I'm glad that.

This preacher that was recently assassinated did not have that

mind set. I'm thank for forever preacher that does not

have that mind set. Whether it's rejected or accepted. We

must preach the truth in love. So as this man

spends his own resources and his own energies to.

Travel to the Northern Kingdom.

Once he's arrived, he's prophesied against the offenders who were

implated by their pride and brother Nathaniel. They reject him,

and they're courageously contempt and they despise his words, the

same way the religious leaders in the days of Jesus

despised the words of God himself. In Karname, God came

to speak the truth to seekers of truth, but he

also spoke the truth to those that sat in.

Darkness that had known us.

How whatsoever for someone to flip the switch and turn the.

Light on, the Bible said.

Men that set in darkness had seen a great light.

I'm thankful for a preacher like Amos that is willing

to say what everybody else should be saying. There were

plenty of preachers. There were plenty of prophets, there were

plenty of priests that could have spoken the word of

God to this nation of Israel, specifically the Northern Kingdom.

But this testifies that there was an unwillingness amongst the

majority of the preachers to say what God has really said.

And that's where.

We're at today. There's only a handful of men that

are willing to pull out the plum life of truth

and to hold it up against churches and families and countries.

I want you to know that when.

God sent Jesus down into this world, Jesus Christ himself,

representing of the plumb Bible, representing Jesus Christ him self,

the will of God stretch from heaven to earth, and

there is a line.

Between heaven and earth.

Jesus Christ the plumb bob. He found the center of gravity.

He points directly at what is true, what is living,

what is squared. And there's a lot of people today

they don't even have to hear help preached on. They

don't have to hear a preacher and take a text

and preach on hell. They can see a saying of

God or a preacher of righteousness just going about their business.

And daily life. And because the Word.

Of God is so wisely dispersed and has been preached

about the generations. They may not be lovers of truth,

but they know the end of the book. They know

the end of the matter. They know that the Bible

declares that all unholy and all unrighteous, and all homosexuals

guilty in ascent of homosexuality, and all immorals, all that

are guilty of immorality.

They will spin eternity in the light of a fire.

They know this.

That's why they could assassinate a thirty one year old

preacher that is sitting there in cool comic collecting and

defeating and just simply.

Talking to people about the Word of God. They in

their heart know what the Bible says.

They know the end of the matter, and they've got

a problem with it.

They go past conviction, they enter into condemnation, and then they.

Decide to take matters in their own hands and silence

the world.

Of the preacher. The Northern Kingdom rejected the.

Word of God.

Amos told them.

Of the severe consequences that would follow, and the Bible

said that there was some that salt to destroy his life.

Will because some of them well to do priests them

or turns them. So called oracles of God had been

reading their Bible and it didn't live. They said, there

was a time when the prophet Jeeremiah done exactly.

What this man us. Do you remember?

And they come through the Sacred writ and they read

where Jeerimia's life was spared. And some of these men said,

I feel like we ought to treat Amos the same

way Jeremiah the prophet was treated. We should not kill

him or spill his blood, you know, limb.

But we can criticize him. We can remain skeptical, we

can lie, Oh, come on, we can send him home

with his badge. We can reject this message, but we

should not take his life.

What I want to pull out of that for you

is this. If there had not a been of Jeremiah

that was willing to say crooked things straight and the

willing to say things nobody else wanted to say, that

Amos's life would not have been spared. And I'm telling you,

mobs in there, and I'm telling Amos is that And mom,

that's always in our best interest to that we're not

only seekers of true to but where speakers.

Are true come and that when something.

Gets off level, and somebody gets off clears, when somebody's

house is falling down, that we put it to the

pup line on the end of the plup Bob, and

we have an assurance that this is where Jesus the

poor Bob has set the pup line. And I'm telling you,

when your life and when your country, and when your church.

Is not over left you obtains.

Leading to the left where it claims and leading to

the ride, and you can't get back.

To the plum line. There were said, we're on that house, shop, were.

On that live We on that's square to the glory

of God. So this man, he gets stirred in his

spirit and as a hurl insults his instructions. He defends

himself and says, hey, the spirit of God moved.

On me while I was minding my own business.

You've heard me say for years. I didn't ask for this.

I didn't ask to come to South Lord. I didn't

ask the pastor of church. I never had a desire

in my heart, and the pastor seventy.

Five people, however, many of these says in this build.

At this time, I just wanted to be a lover

of truth and a seeker of truth. I never asked

to be a speaker of truth, but there was a.

Desire in my heart that if God ever.

Asked me to speak the truth, that's exactly what I

would do, is.

Speak the truth.

Because when you truly love your brother, and when you

truly love your yes, you will be their keeper. This man, Amos,

was upset about the greedy and the self has taken

advantage of others that chose to look out for themself.

These people were prospering financially, yet Amos believed it was

not God causing them to prosper financially, that it was

demons of hell, and that they were prospering because of

their great work ethic and their relentless pursuit of wealth

and prosperity. And Amos believed and preached that God was

not in it, and that that prosperity was going to

be the cause of their downfall, and that they had

forsaken humility and become prideful. And of course they felt

like this shepherd boy and this fruit picker was in

no position to rebute them, and they decided to ignore

his message, and ultimately.

They were ignoring the warning of God.

They can look at a preacher, they can look at

a person.

In a church and say, who are they? Who do

they think they are?

Look at me? Everything I touch is turned to gold.

I've prospered. I'm rich and increased with goods, and I

have need of nothing, including I have no need in

going to church every time the church doors are open.

I have no need of a pastor. There is no

need for a teacher. There is no need for instructors.

There is no need for me to read my Bible.

There is no need for me to thumb through the

manuscript to the Manuel of life. This man Amos, knew

that God instructed him to carry his word. When this

woman was suffering because of the sins of Father Adam

and been mother Eve, and as she was given birth,

her and her husband decided to name this young man

carried by God.

Little did she know.

How to buy me, inspired of the holy girl she

was when God gave her that name that is to

be chosen above great riches.

When Amos left in with a name that was given

to him by God, that wonderful name was worth more.

Than the collective riches of all of those who, being

in the empire of the Northern Kingdom.

Just to be able to say I am a child

of God. At on.

You may not have to ten dollar bills to rub together,

but just to be able to say you are a

child of God, and that Jehovah Childrah is your provider.

And as a righteous persson you've had about forsaken, He's

been with you all day. He had a promise for

you that now that you gave your heart to him,

he said, you will find me to.

Be present by your side. It's an every step of

the way.

Come on now telling you God that he is with us.

And I believe that we should be carriers of more

than viruses and carriers of more than gossip. But so

many people are doing today. We should be carriers up

the truth. Again, this man that was carried by God,

he carried the words of God.

And he may have been carried away carelessly, but he was.

Still the message and the messenger embodied God's message, was

carried by God to deliver a message. He carried that

was intended for people who called himself the people of God.

And so it is today. Your granddaddy could have been

the founder of a certain camp meeting your great granddaddy

could have been a deacon.

Of a certain great harness what to a postal church.

But don't be surprised when a little preacher comes out

of a royal town and he travels with one keena

to the next time to tell you what the saith God,

or thank God for the carriersm of the gospel, for those.

That were carrying the truth. Ain't there? Come on now?

Amos made it clear, and Amos checking number five that

God despises a hypocrite, and a God despised a hypocrit

prea God incarnate. Do you not think that God despises

it a hypocrite to post God incarnator?

You've been given Jesus, He's been given the.

Holy neverstu in marryinga and there there's no reason at all?

Whatso he din it be a hypocrite and a crusifi

the carrier of such a gospel as this.

A man.

A golden texas found in the seventh chapter of Amus.

We've been reading verses number.

Seven through seventeen and preaching through those verses. The prophet

Amous chose to illustrate his message with an instrument that

can be found in most gang boxes on most job

sites how many. If you know what a plumb bob

is attached to, that plumb bob is a plumb a line.

The plumb line itself is not nearly as important as

the plum bob. You can stretch that plumb blom, that

plumb bob from about any point, and after the pendulum

effect has taken place, and after gravity has won its battle,

the temple of the bottom tip of the plum bob

will be pointing directly in line with the point at

point A.

I'm telling you that plumb line.

Has been used since the beginning of time by crashmen

and their construction projects, and it is still used to

this day.

And God used the man to show the nation of.

Israel that they had leaned away from the truths or

the plumb line. Somebody told me that there are preachers

that are now inspired to start outreach ministries after the

death of Charlie.

Kirk, and I thought that was great, you know, to

think about. But if they cannot even.

Put their own churches and their own youth group and

their own family to the plumb line, if they haven't

been able to preach the truth and love all these years,

that they haven't been able to take a stand.

All these years.

If they haven't been using the plot line all of

these years, what makes us think, after the emotions of

this situation has settled, that they will keep the plumb

bob and the plum life in their pastoral tool box

and it will not happen.

God used Amos because God knew that Amos would not

stop preaching on day one. He would not.

Stop preaching on monk Tin. He would not stop preaching

on year ten.

In fact, if you.

Study the book of Amos, he tells exactly who was

the king as he preached.

A proper side.

It talks about two or three different kingdoms and kings.

And from what I could tell, he preached a.

Proper side for about fifty something years. He held the

southern and the northern kingdoms to.

The plumb line.

What a wonderful, illustrative message It worst that day when.

He referred to an instrument.

And I wrote, this little baby name am was up

to be raised in such a way. My wise father

and a wise mother that had refused to tear.

Down the house with their hands.

Until there is no longer a house, but that that

wise warning.

And that wise father would build.

It up with her hands block by block of brick

by brick. I remember, at the age of ten, I

was introduced to the plum light and the plumb mob.

I walked to that single wire trailer that my dad

and mom.

Lived in, and I looked at that house that my

father was having built, and there were some black brothers

and they were eating some Kentuguan fried chicken, and they

were setting a brick on.

That stereer of that house.

And I remember seeing that mysterious line stretcher from poorn

Ad to porn Bed and brother Aaron Wood. I would

see that plum bob swing to the left, and it

was swinging to the right. But when all was sitting

done and pointed at a spot that let them know

they were square and they were level.

I have never forgotten.

I told Sister Howl of Matter three to five days ago.

I said, Honey, that has stuck with me for.

As long as I can remember.

The most important part of that process was not the

mortar store.

It was not they come on the one putting of

the mourner on the trowel.

It wasn't exactly The most important process wasn't exactly taking

the mortar off the trowel and putting it on the brick.

The most important process was aligning the brick to the

plum line.

And I'm telling you, when it didn't light up, I

saw on tap. I saw on tap with the n

I saw it hit one side and the other. Sometimes

when they went too far they backed back up. Come on,

or you're getting it right here.

I'm telling your mom and dad. The only way am

my soul will be amos. So if somebody cares for nothing,

if it's off the sixty coming thatch, it's gonna be redone,

it's gonna be reset. And if you don't get the

mental imagery, this is the inspiration of this message. I

saw Lauren Emma's wood, seeing there at that steerer of

what appeared to be a spiritual house, and I saw.

A plumb line o the bottom was a plumb mob.

Then I saw Lauren upping the eye blosses off and

staring at the plump line and bumping the brick and

bumping the brick.

I'm telling you that's the only way.

Then a must not be a carrier on the truth is,

if there's not a manga, they will be up their

house her head to Mothery doesn't matter what anybody else does.

Let us be one that builds up with the house

of God.

Right, the string with a weight on it, the string

with a weight on it, an anchor Jesus, an arrow

that points us in the right direction. Then black men

knew that the wall was at level. It would affect

the integrity of that wall. They knew if it was

leaning in, that meant the base was off. They knew

if it was leaning out, that mint is already beginning

to fall.

And that's what I want you to know here today.

Amos knew because the Northern Kingdom was already leading out,

it was.

Already beginning to fall. And somebody says, why as these

little things matter? They have everything, everything in the world

to do with the.

Beginning of a gradual wearing away process and the beginning

of a great fall.

When they get out of line, and they get out

of level, and they refuse to let.

A man of God put the plumb line on it,

they refuse to let a sermon brick their heart. They

refuse to say, you know what, I set that brick there,

but I'm going to remove that brick and I'm going

to reset it. The problem with this arrogant generation and

their arrogance aggravated aimous of his generation and the arrogance

of their This generation aggravates you parents. Is nobody would

admit that they've set some brick wrong. Nobody would we

made a mistake. It is very easy to chip that

mortar out between them bricks.

Throw that brick away if you need to.

If you don't want to spend a time and clean

it up, and get you another brick and slide some

more mortar off of that trail and put it on

a brick and say.

It right, my god, I feel the Holy ghost in

this house.

The problem is nobody wants to receive the message from

the message. That's where we're at. That's what I want.

You ought to know that Northern Kingdom received words from

a preacher that preached for about fifty something years. While

people saying you're nobody, mister Hrtman, you're nobody, mister fruit picker,

and Amos has just a few words to say, Hope's

coming for you. Every service it in with hope. Right,

that's what we believe. Amos didn't have any hope. He

wasn't gonna give anybody a false hope and now you preach,

and you teach, Mamma and your little kids will look

at you just like a lot of church people will say,

I ain't leaving, I'm not getting out alive, I'm not

being disorderly, I'm not out of conduct.

They constantly checked the locations of the.

Briot with a prong mind. When a break was out alive, brother, justin,

they reset it. A wise woman knows whether or not

her house is level, and I'm gonna leave this a

Lauren with that. A wise woman knows whether or not

her house is on the level. A church they know

whether or not their church is squereing with God. A

pastor knows whether or not them sheep are on the level.

And I know that that shepherd heard, and he knew

who were the unruly sheep. He knew which ones were

looking for an opportunity to drift and to get out.

And this man knew that God, as a heavenly shepherd,

as the Great Shepherd, knew that whole entire Northern Kingdom

were unruly.

Sheep leaning way far to the left.

How do you argue with somebody that says, see how

God richly glasses, brother?

He lives in a six thousand square foot house. How

do you argue with that?

How do you argue when they're courageously contempt at your message?

And so who are you? What do you have to show?

What's your bottom line on your financial report? Nevertheless, you

preach the truth and love. Sister, how Amos knew.

That the entire nation of Israel was leaning away from

the truth?

How did Amos know this? Because God revealed it to

him through his word. God's word is God's revealed will.

And let me interject this, because Amos spoke the truth

in his lifetime, over spent fifty years. When General the

Prophet spoke the truth, it didn't matter whether they were

in the pit.

Or delivered from the pit, says to how.

With a holy ghost, when they surrendered to the Holy Ghost,

he made them speak the truth even when their flesh

grave would rather do otherwise.

And that's my.

Grievous with people today that profess to be Christians. Why

is it that.

What's in you.

Does not rally you to do what's right?

Because the nature.

Of this beast is we are flesh, and at times

we may lean to the left, we may lean to

the right, But the spirit of God is this He

will pull us to truth, and we will pull ourselves

to truth.

Ames carried the truth.

Because the truth presented an opportunity for transformation.

Thank God for the transformative truth.

And you know why people reject the truth because they

don't want to be transformed. The Northern Kingdom of Israel

did not want to be transformed. This is the alarm

I feel like personally, it's on you. The secondly, he

is on brother Christian. Third is on me as pastor

and this church family to see to it that this

little boice the truth gets the upbringing and the raising

that he needs in order to keep.

His house on the level.

Amos carried the truth, the truth setting free. Amos carried

the gospel, the love and the will of God, and

the love and the will of God delivered him, even

though and eventually it condemned all of the years. God

always sends his messengers to his people with his message,

giving them hope, giving them opportunity for transformation. And Amos

allowed himself to be a plumb line that was dropped

into the Northern Kingdom. This man that was assassinated really

not murdered to kill, assassinated. He had allowed himself to

be dropped into universities.

City halls.

Arenas the brother Nathan that he allowed himself to be

the plumb line. And because he dared to do such

a thing, somebody cut up the strength. And that's how

wanting him, God said to Alaren to be a carrier,

not a color. That was the end of the dream

of the v There's many they cut the lives as

to how and when you cut the line, that's right, brother,

the thing and you bomb with every winter doctor and

a tackto where by men lying wait to the sea.

The Lord dropped Charlie Kirk right in the midst of

the University of Utah, and his voice was silence. The

Lord dropped larm in the midst of the Wood family,

made her.

Voice drop with silence.

The Lord dropped Amos right down, SmackDown, bitch in.

The midst of Israel, to show them how cricket they were.

And Jesus as a plumb ball fell to the earth

and spun a line in heaven.

And I hold that blood line and the plumb.

Bob in my hand. When the Howell family has accidentally

or intentionally veered to the left of the right because

of the Holy ghost side of us. He's graciously tapped

us back in the line.

And feel the sweet presence.

Of God in his place. And sister, we no want

what sent me to tap me back in the line

and tap me to the left, tap me to the right,

or whatever you do.

Don't tear me down.

With your hands.

Yeah you know, did you close your eyes right now?

And would you play and ask you to use this

little baby in a way.

That only he can.

Sister, Lawyer, brother Christian, would you bring your baby boy

forward at this time?

The being this wood. He's a little cutey, handsome.

Precious.

We all know what we're doing today.

We're bringing back to God something that was given to

us by God.

The Lord carried this little baby boy.

It's just the lawyer and brother Christian and now they're

carrying back to God. The Lord gifts it, the little

baby boy to them, and then they gifts them back

to God. Adorable, cute precious. The Bible said to train

them up in.

The nurturing ammunition of the Lord. Could a church stand

at this time?

The elders that have the Holy Ghost especially all believe

those feel saints plays together together. This is a very

important solid time here. The ceremonial part of this servant

has begun.

It was the desire of dead.

Mom that I preach him as his serve specific for Amus,

and I did wrestled with the Lord until he spoke

to me, carrying the trees to the cricking, and when

his eyes were fixed upon me. Now only his eyes

be fixed upon the come he made he with others

things he left and right he will in the same note.

This is where that I'm used. It's not so much

that we don't understand people sometimes lean.

While we treat like the duces to he'll.

It's that we know if they continue or lean, it's

on a matter of time until they fall. And this

is why we make a big deal about manicures and

pedicures and trimmed hair. Let the devil have an answer,

become on overuler. It's not that we as quipped to judge.

It's that we consider the consequences of a fall. And

that's why, sister.

Lauren, they're gonna tell you all Lauren is just a

little thing.

You just a little kid.

You just keep tacting.

I feel it. It's like a big introduce. Well, Laren

is just a kid. I mean, that's what they say

it's just a kid of them. They're giving you some slack.

That's what they're telling us, pastors and just people in

this question of blood, give'e a little slack. It's not

that we don't wanna give you a little slack. It's

the consequences of.

The fall that's far already. That's where we're gone.

Now we energine for bows in the middles. At this time,

I've been set any day to munications. I've got to

members pos the brother Christian Sister Arge, do you promise

to bring Angus squar up in the nurture and ammnition

of the Lord? Do you promise to bring him to

church each and every time? But the words are aprisoners.

You two are able body able to do so? Do

you promise to be a god example before him and

to show them how Christians I can live? And I

want to add this unique balance, a specific you know,

just a.

Line to utmus to give them a real loving.

Time every time the music, because I feel a lot

of the consisted.

If you do it well, they'll be learning to.

Give it depre time in time, cause the Bible sall

word that has fitly spoken is like apples as.

Well as pictures of silver, And how.

Many times do we see the ministers of both they

come up braver thing when one of our uses drifting,

one of our elders is struggling. Sister Clad told me

that thing in in my words and in other words

she said it, but she said, pastor, befo the time

of your time broughtably back to the life in that

black bag.

It's said that she has.

Struggled with is.

Oh God, we're gonna pray at this time. Sisters gether around,

Sister Laura, and brother's gather around, brother Law prayer, Christians praying.

There's no doubt we could feel the spirit of y'all

in this place is very respective wherever is it very

real
