  24. all time, omnipotent praise the Lord. Brother Nathaniel John, chapter

  25. number eleven and verse number twenty five.

  26. Jesus said, unto her, I am the Resurrection and the Light.

  27. He then believeth in me, though he were dead, Yet

  28. shall he live?

  29. And made the saints by the showing of raising of

  30. the hens.

  31. Testify and say he is the Resurrection.

  32. Do you believe that he is the Resurrection? Brother Jesse Matthew,

  33. Chapter number twenty seven, Verses number forty nine through fifty three.

  34. The rest said, let be let us see whether Elias

  35. will come to save him.

  36. Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud.

  37. Voice, yielded up the ghosts, and behold, the veil of

  38. the temple was rent in twain from the top to

  39. the bottom, and the earth did quate, and the rocks rent.

  40. The graves were open, and many bodies of the saints

  41. which slept arose and came.

  42. Out of the graves.

  43. After his resurrection and went into the Holy City and

  44. appeared unto many.

  45. Praise the Lord. I want to preach a message the

  46. Holy Ghost titled the after Effects. The after Effects do

  47. we stand for the reading of our golden text. Our

  48. focus will be upon first Corinth ends chapter.

  49. Number fifteen, again reading verses number twelve three fifteen.

  50. The bottom reads like.

  51. This, Now Christ be preached that he rose from the dead.

  52. House say some among you that there is no resurrection

  53. of the dead. But if there be no resurrection of

  54. the dead, then is Christ not risen? And if Christ

  55. be not risen, then is our preach in vain?

  56. And your faith is also vain? Yea. And we are.

  57. Found false witnesses of God, because we have testified of

  58. God that he raised up Christ, whom he raised not up.

  59. If so be that the dead rise not, how many

  60. of you believe in the testimony of the tomb w

  61. to stretch your hand toward Heaven and.

  62. Ask the Lord to help us here in.

  63. This place today, Heavenly Father, I pray Lord, that you

  64. would bless this people that have gathered today in honor

  65. of your resurrection and celebration.

  66. This people has gathered, Lord, to thank you so much

  67. for being King of kings and Lord of lords, for.

  68. Being mindful of the delivering them of their sins and

  69. sending them free, of rescuing them from themselves.

  70. And from sins from holds. I pray that you would

  71. have knowint.

  72. This thy servant, said, a guard at my mouth, and

  73. help me to say the things you would happy to say.

  74. Nothing more or less.

  75. And on the ears of this thy people, that they

  76. might hear what it is the spirit of God says

  77. or to the church today, not of my words, but

  78. if your word, I pray, let us say, as go

  79. below the shoulders, let them saturate the spirit.

  80. The soul of the being.

  81. We'll just let these go.

  82. In one ear and out the other. God, he says,

  83. must sactuate, not be it change us full. And we pray,

  84. help us to not only be yours, but doers to hem.

  85. Maybe we depart this place joyfully and not sorrowfully, in

  86. Jesus' name.

  87. And the Church said, hey, may.

  88. Look at your neighbors, Say hey, neighbor, are you an

  89. after effect?

  90. Praise the Lord.

  91. Our text is found in a New Testament book of

  92. the Holy Bible. The Book of First Corinthians is a

  93. pay epistle. This means that the great Apostle Paul felt

  94. it of most importance to put pen to parchment and

  95. to send this writing to a particular group of believers

  96. in this part of the country Corinth. These people had

  97. begun their walk in the Christian faith, and they had

  98. embarked on a beautiful journey, just like most of you

  99. did that particular moment in your life when you fell

  100. down upon your knees, if you were able to do so,

  101. and you asked the Lord to forgive you from all

  102. of those sins that you have committed, those very sins

  103. that carried him to the cross and carried him through

  104. the tomb into the pit of hell, to deliver you

  105. in order to save you from your sin, not to

  106. leave you in your sin, but to deliver you to

  107. rescue his people. The Word of God said he would

  108. save his people from their sin. This generation has a

  109. misunderstanding concerning the mission of Christ. They feel like people

  110. have to remain in bondage, that they still have to

  111. dwell in a spiritual Egypt, the land of captivity, where

  112. they cannot be free from habitual sins and addictions. And

  113. so these Corinthian people that the great Apostle Paul was

  114. ministering to, they had begun beautifully, just like you did

  115. when you got up from that altar, whatever it was

  116. the side of your bed, or perhaps in your living

  117. room or in a church house, when you stood up

  118. and you fell squeaky clean. You knew that you were

  119. a new creature in Christ Jesus, and old things that

  120. passed away. And you looked outside, and the atmosphere was

  121. so refreshing. The shades of the greens were just so

  122. much brighter. The trees looked more beautiful, the grass looked prettier,

  123. the sky looked bluer than had ever been. You just

  124. breathed in a breath of fresh air and began life

  125. as a new creation in Christ Jesus.

  126. How many of you can relate to that. You wanted

  127. to go tell it, You wanted to share it with

  128. everybody that would listen.

  129. You made phone calls, you told co workers on the

  130. job about it, and some people received it warmly, while

  131. others strongly and firmly rejected it. And that's the same

  132. thing that these Corinthian people would.

  133. Have been dealing with.

  134. After they embarked on such a beautiful journey, they realized

  135. real quickly that things would be different for them.

  136. And you will remember that.

  137. The Lord Jesus had told his followers that these people

  138. out here in this cruel, wicked world, people that you

  139. rub shoulders with in society, they're not going to rejoice

  140. with you when you weep, rejoice, and they're not going

  141. to weep with you when you weep.

  142. They're not gonna be of the same mind.

  143. They're not going to share your bird, and they're not

  144. going to relate to your choices and your life experiences

  145. and this change that has taken place in your life.

  146. They're just simply not gonna relate, and they're not gonna

  147. become part of this family of God.

  148. They have no desire whatsoever to be like you.

  149. Not everybody in this world of seven billion people want

  150. to be a Christian. But the truth is, Jesus said,

  151. he declared it to be so that he is the way,

  152. the truth in the life. And he said, no man

  153. will come to the Father but through many. Jesus described

  154. himself as a way. He described himself as a door.

  155. And the only way.

  156. We as well as these Corinthian people, will find access

  157. to our Lord above is simply walking in that gospel life.

  158. The Word of God is.

  159. A lamper to our feet and a lie unto our path.

  160. So y'all think with me as the apostle Paul navigated

  161. through this land of Chrinth that was so morally impure

  162. and so unwholesome as a society.

  163. He began to spread gospel see.

  164. Very kinderly, delicately, and carefully, because he.

  165. Was surrounded by pagan people.

  166. And he lets these Corinthian believers know that at some

  167. point you're going to experience some bumps in the road. Here,

  168. going to have some hiccups along this journey. And I

  169. know that there's people in this building that can say,

  170. within your experience of Christianity, you've had moments of triumph

  171. and you've also had moments of tragedy. Again, Jesus told

  172. his followers, you should expect to be treated by the people.

  173. Of this world the same way I have been treated.

  174. And anybody that knows their Bible knows that Jesus had

  175. moments of tragedy as well as moments of triumph.

  176. Now, when tragedy.

  177. Strikes, people's confidence is strained and their faith is put

  178. to the test.

  179. The purpose of this rioting.

  180. Is to strengthen the faith of young converts. Paul believed

  181. in these people. Amongst them, some were wonderfully rooted and grounded.

  182. They were called the saints of God.

  183. But he had to address this group of people, and

  184. when he addressed them, he was so hopeful and considering

  185. them to be saints. He addressed them as the Church

  186. of God which is in Corinth. He labeled them saints,

  187. noting that many of them had been sanctified through the

  188. ruby red blood of Jesus. Undoubtedly they were walking in

  189. the Christ.

  190. They were Christ Alike.

  191. This group of believers had severed ties with paganism. They

  192. would have been very familiar with hearing the cries of

  193. children that were being offered by their parents on the

  194. altar of pagan gods. It sunds no different to the

  195. times that we are living in, Brother Thomas staring standing.

  196. On my right, they're in that blue dress shirt.

  197. On a weekly basis most of the time.

  198. He goes to plan parenthood in Fort Myers, and there

  199. are women walking inside of that particular building, that place

  200. of execution, the house of murder, where the unborn, out

  201. of their control, is sacrifice to their mother's God of

  202. a good figure or the lack of desire to responsibility.

  203. I wonder if we could hear the cry of the

  204. unborn in the same way that these people that were

  205. delivered from paganism would have heard echoing in.

  206. Their mind the cries of the.

  207. Children that were sacrificed. Had the authors of pagan gods.

  208. Also, we find that.

  209. The Corinthian people would have been very, very familiar with

  210. more decadents and more bankruptcy rather than Nathaniel.

  211. They would have.

  212. Ventured into all sorts of gross sin. In fact, a

  213. lot of their temples had temple prostestitutes that stood on

  214. the stairways. As these worshipers would go into the temples

  215. of their gods, and these prostitutes would intercept the worshipers

  216. and depile them deliberately and intentionally, and sometimes rob them

  217. of their possessions. While other times these people were some

  218. being on sin, they paid for all of their gross sins.

  219. They wimply committed such sins as the Hainius sins. And

  220. so this group of believers had been delivered from some

  221. pretty strong sins. If they had a stronghold in their life,

  222. they walked away from sin. They walked away from death

  223. unto life. Because this preacher of righteousness dared to go

  224. into their city, he dared to walk inside of their place,

  225. and he began to share the words of truth within

  226. this church became the Church of christh But it just

  227. you think with me, what this means, it's like us trying.

  228. To plant a church of truth.

  229. And righteousness in South Florida, where for the most part,

  230. the commandments of Jesus Christ are disregarded, where for the

  231. most part, the teachings of Jesus Christ.

  232. Have been placed on a shelf.

  233. In people's copy of the teachings of Jesus Christ has

  234. collected destoned. This church came to be because of the

  235. Lord of Jesus loving them, and because of one man

  236. and a purpose that had been commissioned by the Lord.

  237. The obedient apostle Paul.

  238. He was willing to present himself in a situation that

  239. could have put his very life into jeopardy. He was

  240. willing to present himself and the Gospel of Jesus Christ wisely.

  241. Nowhere in the scripture to you find that the.

  242. Apostle Paula walked into the midst of these people arrogantly.

  243. But he did come with a zeal of pervency and a.

  244. Passion second to no other minister that had ever ministered

  245. to these pagan people.

  246. In the first few verses of the.

  247. Second chapter of the Book of First Charynthians.

  248. Paul describes his method.

  249. And his intery, but a road camp. He says, I

  250. came in humility, I paraphraised there. But just as Jesus

  251. came into a world that would later reject him, the

  252. apostle Paul descended into this dark area of society humbly.

  253. In his words, he said, in leakness and with fear

  254. and trembling. This man knew the consequences of preaching the

  255. Gospel in such a place. He knew the possibility of

  256. his death. What would have driven him to go in

  257. there any way? Because he knew that no matter the outcome,

  258. as long as he was obedient to the heavenly calling

  259. to do exactly what God had commission in a new

  260. then he could be reassured of the fact that he

  261. could be resurrected and experience.

  262. Of joy in heaven above.

  263. He said, I want your faith to stand in the

  264. power of God, corrictim believers. I don't want your faith

  265. to stand in the speech of the Excellent Oratur.

  266. I don't want your faith to stand in.

  267. The speech of a governor, or a commissioner, or the

  268. Emperor himself.

  269. I won't your faith to stand in.

  270. The power of God.

  271. And when you tell.

  272. Somebody their faith should stand in the power of God

  273. immediately they're.

  274. Going to look for signs.

  275. I don't know how many people in this particular area,

  276. when in the Roman Empire, would have known.

  277. That Paul himself was.

  278. A testimony of the power of God. Those of you

  279. in this building that resurvival on a daily basis, so

  280. you will remember that Paul was one that the religion

  281. of Judaism had scouted to.

  282. Be one of their number one stars, said him that.

  283. Religion, But he had had an encounter with Jesus Christ.

  284. There was such fun an encounter that had changed him forever.

  285. And the same thing can happen to anybody in this

  286. building today. Impact a lot of the Christians that had

  287. become believers after the ministries and the messages of Jesus Christ,

  288. they did not want to accept the fact that the

  289. apostle Paul was a different person.

  290. But after a.

  291. Couple good brothers brought him in and they testified.

  292. Of the miraculous change that.

  293. Had taken place in his life. He was well received,

  294. and we found this man becoming somebody to the.

  295. New Testament Church. His very own life is.

  296. A testimony of the power of God. He now loves

  297. things he used to hate. He now hates things he

  298. used to love. He's interested in going to church. He's

  299. interested in putting the world away and embrason Jesus. He's

  300. interested in hanging out with a new group of friends.

  301. He's interested in the things of God and impact him.

  302. He's so interested in it, he's got to express it

  303. and share it. So he's trying his best to let

  304. these people in this land know that Jesus.

  305. Has along with him a power.

  306. That is great enough to deliver there.

  307. I'm from their sin, and one of the ampdences that

  308. he reaches for is.

  309. The empty tube.

  310. I'm preaching a message the Holy Ghost titled.

  311. The Actor effects God, Nathaniel. These people would have had

  312. their own God and their own Goddess.

  313. He's presenting to people that had pulled out of such

  314. stains as factor that Jesus is a risen savior.

  315. The word of the death of the miracle Worker had no.

  316. Doubt spread throughout the Roman Empire. One governor talking to

  317. another governor, one leader speaking to another leader, one soldier

  318. speaking to another soldier. There was no doubt to news

  319. being spread abroad of the death of this man that.

  320. All so nipping at the heels of this.

  321. Tragic news was news of Triumpha.

  322. Jesus was not in the burial place. He was not

  323. in the two.

  324. It wasn't only the action of the crucifixion that would.

  325. Have captured imagination of people at that time.

  326. It would have been the reaction that after a pecta

  327. of what took place after the resurrection, they would have said,

  328. this no proof of his death. There is no body abdence,

  329. There is no tangible abdence.

  330. Of his death. Where did he go?

  331. Where is he at?

  332. And many, many people in Jerusalem could have said after

  333. his death and mary on resurrection that we have been

  334. eye witnesses to his existence.

  335. He continues to live. He lives.

  336. Can I tell you when they mailed god Man to

  337. the crosser, it was not the.

  338. God part of that man that died.

  339. It was the man nature of the god man that died.

  340. I want you to know, God, he never died. When

  341. he lay there in the cool after he said it's thin,

  342. said actor Joseph a rimy, your.

  343. Lady arest, he not thought to be lay. But he

  344. was not dead. You know what he was doing. He

  345. was descending into the lowest regions of.

  346. The dam and also into the regions where saints of old,

  347. which fract.

  348. And being held he pushed on in the grim reaper.

  349. He said, you no longer have power to hold him

  350. in here, gim me the keys, so could be killed

  351. and a grave.

  352. I want you to know the actor.

  353. Of Tecto was PowerP People knew without a doubt he

  354. has risen.

  355. They know without a doubt.

  356. I feel the pulse and said, on his power in.

  357. This place, and women receive it, don't reject him. My

  358. question today is, so will you receive.

  359. The fact that he has risen?

  360. Not only receive it that he has risen, but that

  361. is powerful, powerful enough to destroy addictions, powerful enough to

  362. give you a new beginning, powerful enough to make the

  363. murderer sorry for the sin, powerful enough to make the

  364. unborn child's layer sorrowful because of their shin, powerful enough

  365. to make that rude child sorry to.

  366. The way they spoke to their mother. Powerful enough to

  367. make patrons walk out of the land of prostitutes.

  368. And takens and come to a little gathering where saints

  369. of God are to you in number, but where they

  370. are sold out and dedicated, all because of the after

  371. effect of a sacrifice. I said, it was the power

  372. of the empty tomb to shoot these people.

  373. They knew there.

  374. Was gods of stone and goddesses of wood and stolen.

  375. They knew the burial places of their monks, they knew

  376. the memorial places of their religious leaders.

  377. And they knew.

  378. Very well that their bones were in those burial places.

  379. I said their foes were in their tones. I said

  380. their bones was in the grave.

  381. But these believers could plutch onto the pacta.

  382. That we do not have of courts, nor do we

  383. have a pracose of our Christ.

  384. He has been seen, he is risen, and he is alive.

  385. And that's what Jesus said, Behold, I.

  386. Am alive forever.

  387. There This church came to me in the midst of

  388. a paint in society, in the midst of a secular

  389. society that has poorly bankrupt, has lost their moral compass,

  390. that's doing whatever they deem to.

  391. Be right in their own eyes. They're live because of Jesus, because.

  392. Of the life put Jesus in the life of the

  393. apostle Paul. But here comes the trials, Here comes the testing,

  394. Here comes the tragedies. Some are departing from their faith,

  395. and some are turning again to the weak and the

  396. beverly elements of the world, some after having experienced such

  397. a radical transformation and new life in Jesus Christ. They're

  398. being pulled by friends of the past. They're being pulled

  399. by religious leaders of their past. Perhaps it's the whispers

  400. from the pagan's prostitutes. Perhaps it's the call from the

  401. dumb meaning they could not speak idols since the How

  402. could it have been that idolatry have such a powerful

  403. grip old people. I want you to know we look

  404. at these people and we shake.

  405. Our head from left to right and we say, mind behind.

  406. How could people be reduced to the place that they

  407. would kneel on bended knee.

  408. In front of a lifeless God?

  409. How could it be that people would kneel on bended

  410. need in front of a lifeless goddess? And Brother Jesse,

  411. I can go into every city in America and find

  412. people that were too busy today to even acknowledge the

  413. resurrection Sunday after Sunday, I see, it is a world

  414. that is not mindful of Jesus. And I want you

  415. to know that there is a people that is losing

  416. their faith. There's a people that's losing their vision. There

  417. is a people that's turning loser of the promise. Ever

  418. since I got saved thirty two years ago, I am

  419. not seized together in the Lord's house after a point

  420. in time when God commissioned us to do so. The

  421. Apostles of old said, for sake, not the assembly of

  422. your self together has the manner of some is even

  423. so much more as you see today, of the Lord

  424. approaching It happened two thousand years ago, it's.

  425. Happening right now today.

  426. There are people that are too busy to look again

  427. in an empty tube. They're too busy to anchor their

  428. find in the ben rocca of their Christian paint. They're

  429. too busy to revisit Calvary. They're too busy to consider

  430. the cost of the substitutionary sacrifice. They're too busy to

  431. think of that ruby red and blood flowing down.

  432. From his brow on his face now to his feet.

  433. People are too busy.

  434. How is it the people of this generation to look

  435. down upon pains like these and lived in the days

  436. of the Apostle Paul.

  437. And wind their finger.

  438. And wind their head, and say, look how wicked they were,

  439. Look how the stockness pick them off, and disgusting they.

  440. Are but I want us to look at our generation.

  441. I want us to look to her left and look

  442. to her right. You tell me he's the bar teamer

  443. thinking there, Jesus today, we'll come on now.

  444. He had celebrated her rears and Savior.

  445. Now not how I am.

  446. I'm telling you speak a bar kicking in her. Jesus,

  447. I say, keep me in the house of the truth.

  448. Today, while said it's a fearful thing to pall into

  449. the hands of a living God.

  450. When I would just think that the majority's right, that's

  451. not what the Bible said.

  452. We're either people of this book or we're not. We're

  453. either people of whole truth or we're not.

  454. Jesus said, brod is the way, and that there's many

  455. people traveling on a broadway that lead.

  456. It to destruction. He said, there is a narrow path.

  457. It's called the Highway of holiness. That word means sactification.

  458. It means people that have come out from the world.

  459. They live in the world. They love people, but they

  460. are set apart with one purpose, and that is to

  461. testify that He is alive and that he is Lord

  462. and Savior.

  463. That's what caused one man again.

  464. You need to get this That's what CAUs one man,

  465. the Apostle Paul, to enter the realms of the wicked,

  466. with hope that he could plant a church, with hope

  467. that he could find a few sins here and honest

  468. hearts that would be willing to be a remnant, that

  469. would be willing to be a few that would be

  470. willing to be a few calls and a few chosen.

  471. I'm not looking for a worldwide revival. Apostle Paul was

  472. done looking for that. When Jesus walked to the earth,

  473. the Bible said his people. The Jewish people at large

  474. rejected him, and only a few went to the service.

  475. He gave them explicit imitation too, He said, when.

  476. I die, go to the offer room. When I died,

  477. go to church. When I'm died, get together.

  478. And only one hundred and twenty people went to church.

  479. After he raised a nair, after he opened the winding eyes,

  480. after he healed the sick, only one hundred and twenty

  481. week to church. But the general consensus is, there's a

  482. street on every corner.

  483. Right, there's two streets on every corner.

  484. Right. Amen, you go into a society, every block has

  485. a corner in every corner has two streets, and a

  486. lot of times in that block there's a church.

  487. But I'm telling you, brother, if they're overlooking the teachings

  488. of Jesus.

  489. Christ, then they are no church at all. It's just

  490. another pagan turn. It's just another pagan temple. You know,

  491. the pagan people in one particular city that had an

  492. altar address to the tomb of the Unknown God. Do

  493. you know why they didn't have Because they believed there

  494. were so many pathways to eternal life in the after life,

  495. and they believed there were so many gods and goddesses

  496. in order to help them in the after life that

  497. they were afraid they might have overlooked one. They were

  498. concerned that they might have not paid proper respect to one.

  499. And so they fashioned a too and own that marker

  500. on their.

  501. Graves and inscription to the I know God, If in

  502. the middle of our pain and worship we have overlooked you.

  503. If in the middle of missioning prostitutes we have overlooked you.

  504. If in the middle of given our money to priests

  505. that are making merchandise this people, we have overlooked you.

  506. We want you to know we're building a memorial to you,

  507. and we want you to know. This is awaken statement

  508. to all of the gods or the unknown God that

  509. we have missed.

  510. That we're unaware of.

  511. I want you to know.

  512. They can hinge their revention on the tomb with an

  513. inscription addressed to their God.

  514. But I know that Christianity it hinges on one thing.

  515. It hinge his owner an empty tube.

  516. I said, Christianity hinge it or an empty tube. And

  517. if there's no such thing, I said, he's the rection

  518. of Christianity.

  519. It is self is in vain.

  520. I said, Christianity in itself is worthless. Then this Bible

  521. there's nothing more than just words on the page. All

  522. of the testimonies, all of the experiences, all of the

  523. earnest and passionate please, all of the amazing and ellest prophecies,

  524. all of the preaching of all these holy men of

  525. God that were moved on by the Holy Ghost, every

  526. bit of it is in vain.

  527. Y'all, remember that.

  528. The apostle Paul was concerned after he had preached the

  529. people of this nature. He said, I'm concerned that I

  530. have labored in vain, and brothers stared. He's trying to

  531. get them to overlook their dedication to the goddess Venus.

  532. He's trying to get them over look their dedication to

  533. the goddess of love, beauty, pleasure, and pro creation. Can

  534. I tell you that goddess of this generation is all

  535. of the above, except for the goddess.

  536. Of pro creation. Hey, this generation has a goddess of Venus.

  537. They are free love. Hey, it's all love and no judgment.

  538. It's all love and no punishment. It's all love.

  539. And every person, whether they're a teenager or whether they're

  540. an old person, they're.

  541. Trying to be beautiful. We find us to be a

  542. generation that loves pleasure more.

  543. Than they love God.

  544. The Apostle Paul said, these people would be lovers of pleasure.

  545. They would love pleasure.

  546. More than they love God.

  547. Hey, they think nothing of fordicating, they think nothing of

  548. committing of nature, they think nothing of stealing.

  549. They think nothing of mine.

  550. You'll know that end this epistol First Corinthians. That's where

  551. we get those sins. And Apostle Paul made it very

  552. plain that those who commit those sins we will never

  553. inherit the kingdom of God. If you turn the First Corinthians,

  554. chapter number six, I believe it is you'll find Not

  555. many preachers will show you that.

  556. Not many preachers will put your finger.

  557. On it too and say read it.

  558. But I want you to know the man that had.

  559. Been transformed by Jesus to the point that people believed

  560. he was the new creation. He said, you knew these

  561. coinl of sins that's going on in the pagan temple.

  562. Now you're not gonna go into God's temple. I said,

  563. you do realize in the act of life, that's.

  564. What it's all about.

  565. It's being in the temple of a most finer.

  566. Turn with Normally I would have skipped over this, but

  567. I feel luck somebody doubted what I said, First Christians,

  568. chapter number six. In the same writing, Apostle Paul wrote,

  569. in verse number nine, the First Christians, chapter number six,

  570. know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the

  571. Kingdom of God.

  572. But I'm going to oh no, you're not. Look at

  573. your neighbors say, oh no, you're not.

  574. Not. If you're committing these things, telling the Bible's right,

  575. somebody's wrong.

  576. I know you got a preacher somewhere on a city

  577. block or on a street corner that would tell you otherwise.

  578. Who you gonna side with them? With the Great Apostle

  579. Paul and Jesus.

  580. First Christians, chapter number six, verse number nine. Know ye

  581. not that the unrighteous shout up inherit the Kingdom of God.

  582. Apostle Paul said, you should know this. Be not deceived.

  583. Well I got somebody tells me otherwise.

  584. Be not deceived, neither for de caters, nor i nor adulterers,

  585. nor eeminent, which is men, And that like women, nor

  586. abusers of themselves of mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards,

  587. nor revilers, nor extortion or shall inherit the Kingdom of God.

  588. Apostle Paul did not deny that they had been like this.

  589. In verse number eleven, he said, in such worse some

  590. of you. But remember now.

  591. You are washed, You are wash, Ye are sanctified, But

  592. you are justified in the.

  593. Name of the Lord and Jesus, by the spirit of

  594. our God.

  595. And he didn't say you are, He said you were

  596. you were, And he said you were wash.

  597. Can I tell you that when Jesus walked amongst us

  598. all he washes.

  599. Away fortification, the spirit of mortification.

  600. You see these people in this society, we're going in

  601. an empty and they were welcoming the spirit's authornication. They

  602. were welcoming the spirit of prostitution. They were welcoming to

  603. spirit up to evening, they were welcoming is out.

  604. Now what's going on?

  605. You know a lot of our churches today. You don't

  606. welcoming here.

  607. Don't telling little Tiny, the little Susie, It's okay. We're

  608. all sinners. Apostle Paul wrote this epistle. Let them know

  609. you can walk down that tama and never go back.

  610. I'm preaching on the outer defects. Such worse some of you,

  611. not such hard some of you. This group of believers

  612. had several times with paganism. I know, it's just the how,

  613. and I got saved.

  614. We were a dating couple and immediately we were convicted

  615. of things that we were doing.

  616. And you know what, they ceased, sin ceased. I want

  617. some of you in this building to know, when we

  618. stand before God, I don't want to have any problem

  619. with his teachings, and He's not going to look at

  620. me and approve me as a liar, where he says,

  621. you know what in earth you disregarded my teachings, but

  622. now suddenly they mean the world to you. I want

  623. you to know When Apostle Paul walked into this region

  624. of Corinth, he was a long soldier. The Bible said

  625. he came in with much fear and much trembling. He

  626. came in with humility, brother than the thing. When he

  627. was the prince of preachers, he was an excellent ratar.

  628. He was quite the learned man. In fact, he was

  629. quite the bold individual, because he thought nothing of scount

  630. for the Sanhedrin believers.

  631. Part of his conversion.

  632. He would go and find believers and bind them by

  633. him and take them by force. Now you know, he

  634. also knew what the apostle said when they said the

  635. Kingdom of Heaven suffer with violence, and.

  636. The violet take it by force. I want you to know.

  637. The Pagans, they take things by force. The judae Isers

  638. take things by force, and so new Christians we take

  639. things by force. I take the testimony of the empty

  640. tube by force. Apostle Paul just eases in there, politely,

  641. if you would, sheepishly, kind of like Jesus, unannounced. And

  642. then he takes up a house and he begins to preach,

  643. and he begins to talk to them as passing by,

  644. as they go to temples, and as they go to

  645. synagogues and he starts luring them into the church. Again,

  646. can everybody else be wrong? And only if you be right?

  647. It's the Bible one, It's the Bible pattern. It's always

  648. been that way.

  649. Again, Jesus Christ, God incarnate, God, personified, the living and

  650. revealed will of God standing there, gave a personal limitation.

  651. Let's go to the up room and on one hundred

  652. and twenty K the worship and praised him as he

  653. came in. And that triumphal entry.

  654. Into Jerusalem is the same mob that crucified him.

  655. You start preaching like Apostle Paul's doing to people with

  656. pagan ideologies and beliefs, and people that are given to

  657. the sins that are found in First Prince in chapter

  658. number six. You know the first thing they want to do.

  659. They want to take the head off the preacher. And

  660. this generation has not stoning him to death. In this generation,

  661. it is not taking him out crucifier, and this generation

  662. is not making a martyr. It's simply I refuse to

  663. go to that church. I refuse to listen to that preacher.

  664. Why because he loves you enough to show you what

  665. the Bible says. Why because he loves you enough to

  666. tell you the truth.

  667. You know what, though, is that he came into his

  668. own and his own did not receive him.

  669. But it said for as many that did receive him,

  670. to them he gave the power to be the sons

  671. of God.

  672. I want to say this.

  673. Certain heathens and pagans and unbelievers and unrighteous people, they're

  674. a diamond dozen. Anybody can be an addict. Anybody can

  675. smoke marijuana. This government's making it quite.

  676. Easy to do that.

  677. Anybody can stop at the convenience store's just up the

  678. road here.

  679. What is it less than an eighth of them all?

  680. From this church?

  681. Anybody can make Jack Daniels and Jim Bean they're best friends.

  682. Anybody can put a quarter in a jukebox. Anybody can

  683. put one in the paper on and call somebody who cares.

  684. Anybody can cry they're blues away. Anybody can say I've

  685. got friends in low places. But my question is, can

  686. you say I've got friends in high place?

  687. Here?

  688. Speaking the truth in love?

  689. Aposso called it speaking the truth in love?

  690. Amen, the power of an empty tube.

  691. If you are to look inside of a tomb of

  692. justin road gaps past, you will see nothing but the

  693. after effects of the power of Jesus Christ.

  694. If you look into the tomb of.

  695. The old Aaron Wood, you'll see nothing but the after

  696. effect of the power of what Jesus can do.

  697. Mind Jesus, so Apostle Paul.

  698. Approach people of this nature and sys the how they're

  699. so dedicated to their goddess of Venus.

  700. What can I offer them?

  701. And then those that have prayed through that are being

  702. pulled again, and that are trying their best not to

  703. turn and.

  704. Be persuaded to go back into old things for the

  705. old nature.

  706. Brother Nathaniel, people that are literally striving not to come

  707. alive again in that old flesh.

  708. The only thing he could do is offer a living savior.

  709. All I can offer you is a living safety. And

  710. if Christ was alive, then the evidence of such.

  711. Is in the resurrection, and it's in the empty tube.

  712. I feel this in my soul right now.

  713. I want to tell somebody something that after effect is

  714. a pleasant experience.

  715. After a hurricane. US Florindians have to deal with the

  716. after effects.

  717. Californians have to deal with the after effects of earthquakes,

  718. and the after effects of earthquakes or injuries, damage, infrastructure, damaged, families,

  719. damaged homes, damaged lives, loss of life, Brother Tyler, And

  720. probably their greatest nemesis is fire after an earthquake? What

  721. this thing to circumvent or navigate around after a hurricane?

  722. Down?

  723. Trees down, power lines, torn off roofs.

  724. How we're gonna circumvent this, How we're gonna get by this,

  725. How we're.

  726. Gonna make it past this? All the after effects?

  727. And can I tell you the after effects of paganism

  728. was a bunch of unwanted children, just like the Roman

  729. Catholic Church at their core has the little places where

  730. they purge the unwanted children, though.

  731. Should I say it, you're putting a neck on the line,

  732. Brother Howell, they have.

  733. Real places where they extinguish and eliminate, eliminate.

  734. The lives of unwanted children.

  735. The priest who was supposed to be celibate, fathered with noes.

  736. The nuns were hidden away for nine ten months, six seven,

  737. eight months, depending on how necessary it was, in a tireing,

  738. Brother Jesse. And they take them little babies still to

  739. this day, and recipients of the Black prowl the devil

  740. worship it child sacrificing human sacrificing ungodly self proclaiming to

  741. be Christians, kill.

  742. The unworn because they're unwanted. And you know the after effect.

  743. In the minds of them nuns is truly, this is

  744. not God's representative on earth.

  745. Truly, this priest is not God thee.

  746. And there's a lot of young people in traditional churches

  747. in modern society when they walk out the doors after

  748. watching the actions of their priest and the tarishioners they

  749. went to church with, and their teachers, and they say, truly.

  750. God was nowhere around. God's not in that.

  751. I reminded of a Church of God boy whose uncle

  752. was a prominent man in a local Church of God,

  753. probably in the seventies, said that uncle always wanted to

  754. put his two cents in in that service.

  755. That uncle always wanted to.

  756. Throw his money around hundreds of thousands of dollars to

  757. build a church, a new church. He said. I looked

  758. up to that man, and I revered him in highest

  759. of regards. He said, one day after a service, that

  760. man told me, he said, go to my vehicle, take

  761. this key and put it in the lock of that

  762. trunk and the truck.

  763. They would say, and get me something and.

  764. Bring it into the House of God. That man had

  765. forgot what he had hidden in the trunk of his car.

  766. That man had forgotten about the cases of whiskey that

  767. he had boughtt for his customers in order to bribe

  768. them and to be awarded projects. That young man said,

  769. when he popped that trunk, there was cases of whiskey.

  770. Of what perceived in the vehicle of what was perceived

  771. to be a man of renown, an elder man.

  772. That everybody looked up to the testimony of the trunk.

  773. What was inside the trunk?

  774. What's going on inside of these convents into catacombs?

  775. In the caverns, y'all remember.

  776. And year a lot of times the cavern had a tavern.

  777. In the tavern had a cavern. Back in the recesses

  778. of that cave would be their liquor. The mountain dew,

  779. they called it their white like and and brothers, you

  780. remind them bootleggers would run that mountain dew all throughout

  781. the land. And I want you to know a lot

  782. of times the after effect of that was lost homes.

  783. Babies, had no doctor, money, and Bookmarny.

  784. Mama got beat up talking about the after effect of

  785. strong drink. Marriages were broken up, holes were busted up,

  786. babies were beaten up.

  787. I'm talking about the after effect, and I feel the.

  788. Hole it goes now. Earlier, we had some lost people

  789. in the building and I was preaching the gospel to them.

  790. They've had to leave now, and now I'm back to

  791. my message. The after effect that Apostle Paul could tell

  792. people that was very familiar with dealing with the after effect.

  793. You see them temple prostitutes knew nothing of birth control,

  794. drunkers had no control, unwanted children being sacrificed, the after

  795. effects of their religion in the backs of their minds.

  796. The only thing he could tell these people was hold

  797. on to this after effect, hold on to the empty tune.

  798. The primary action is the resurrection of Jesus, and the

  799. after effect is an empty tumbe I said. The primary

  800. action is the resurrection of Jesus, and the after effect is.

  801. The empty tube.

  802. Brother Nathaniel, there's a lot of people that say he lives,

  803. he lives, but there's no after effect of an empty tube,

  804. because when he lives inside, he throws Jack Daniels and

  805. Jim Beam out on their heads.

  806. When he lives inside.

  807. He throws thieves out.

  808. He throws fear out.

  809. I said, he throws fear out, he throws unrighteousness out,

  810. he throws unbelief out.

  811. There aren't after effects, hey man.

  812. Apparently, according to our golden texts, some that believe in

  813. the resurrection of the dead. If you look at First

  814. Christians fifteen to twelve again, it says now a Christ

  815. be preached that he rose from the dead.

  816. House says some among you that there is no resurrection

  817. of the dead.

  818. A little while ago we had visitors, and I would say,

  819. nobody will tell them anything.

  820. I've only heard. I've never seen him of a life.

  821. I don't know them.

  822. If you could go listen to this message has been

  823. nothing but just pure love and things true, nothing to

  824. offend anybody, and people are just busy. But one thing

  825. I noticed from the very moment that came in. The

  826. woman couldn't stop looking at these holiness. Women couldn't even

  827. focus on Castor Howe preaching, couldn't focus on Brother Aaron

  828. as an anchor at the church, couldn't focus on dear

  829. brother Dwayne Harrison.

  830. That dear gentleman that helped me this week and did so.

  831. Much for me couldn't even focus on a big, strong

  832. and tall brother Gair below over there.

  833. Couldn't even focus on the one sitting next to her brother,

  834. Michael Joseph LaRue.

  835. Couldn't take a glance, had to keep looking at these

  836. young women over here, right here, in this corner.

  837. I've never seen anything like it.

  838. Where mothers loved their children, Where mothers love their children,

  839. where mother's priority.

  840. Is their children, Where women loved.

  841. Their husbands, where purity and virtue are valued.

  842. Let me ask somebody a question, what is wrong with modesty?

  843. People don't like modesty?

  844. The Pagans, in correct, that's why they welcome the opportunity

  845. to go to the church.

  846. That's why they were excited about going. Thank you, Holy Gust.

  847. Was it aphroditis?

  848. I think they welcomed the opportunity to go to the

  849. Goddess of Venus because they had plenty of short skirted prostitutes.

  850. In fact, the Hebrew people, they were told, make sure

  851. you wear your garments long enough so that when you

  852. walk up on them steps, nickedness is are revealed. But

  853. you know what, on the steps of the temple of Venus,

  854. nickedness is a common thing. But among the righteous they're

  855. gonna have to cover up and apostle. Paul's letting them

  856. know you're gonna.

  857. Have to hold onto the power of an empty tumbe.

  858. You're gonna have to hold on to the power that

  859. he is the Way, he is the Truth, and that

  860. he's the Life, and that he has the power to

  861. break the struggleholds of addiction. Listen, folks, I told God

  862. a long time ago, probably forty five years ago.

  863. I said, I will never believe in what this world

  864. calls Christianity.

  865. I will never believe in my own opinion concerning the scriptures.

  866. I will never have my own private interpretation, and I

  867. won't be a hypocrite. But I know I have since

  868. been convinced that it is my duty and my responsibility.

  869. Has Jeremy Howell, who has been granted the breath that

  870. I have in my body, the life.

  871. That I possess, it is my responsibility.

  872. To wholeheartedly embrace the teachings of Jesus Christ.

  873. And to avoid going to Hell.

  874. I finally quit playing games with God and decided I'm

  875. not going to hell. There's two people that control that,

  876. God and you. When you say I'm not going to hell,

  877. there's two people that can keep.

  878. That from coming to fruition, that can keep that from

  879. coming to past. You going to hell. I'm not going

  880. to hell.

  881. But if you're born in this world, in your other

  882. spirit of this world, thus will be your problem. Pride

  883. will be your vanity will be your problem, Fear will

  884. be your problem, Unrighteousness will be your problem. Or the

  885. fossil pause telling us people the nature of the man is.

  886. To be drawn.

  887. It's why they build a world empire, because they cater

  888. to the flesh. They cater to the sinful desires of mankind.

  889. You'll have no problem at all being religious. We know

  890. you're desperate to have your own ideas. We know you're

  891. desperate to forge have your own religion. We know you're

  892. desperate to say I know it's my body. I'll make

  893. my own choices and will even.

  894. Give you a tube.

  895. And you could be your own God. There's a lot

  896. of sound doctrine in this today. Our gold texts began

  897. with Now.

  898. If Christ be preached right that he rose from the dead,

  899. house say some among you that there is no resurrection.

  900. Of the dead methel.

  901. Everything Christianity is as a religion and as a relationship.

  902. Inges on an empty tube.

  903. The Apostle Peter wholeheartedly agreed with the Apostle Paul.

  904. He expressed this and his epistle in One Peter, chapter

  905. number one and verse number three, blissed be the God

  906. and Father of our Lord.

  907. Jesus Christ, which, according to his abundant mercy, has begotten

  908. us again into a livelihood by the resurrection of Jesus

  909. Christ from the dead.

  910. There is no doubt many of that time period didn't believe.

  911. It was possible for one to be rose from the dead,

  912. for one to come back to life after experiencing death.

  913. Most of these Pagans believed in after life. They believed

  914. in outer body experiences. But Paul showed them the power

  915. of Jesus Christ. But he does so by pointing at

  916. his bodily resurrection.

  917. Jews and Romans a lot would have heard.

  918. Of the unlawful trial of Jesus the miracle Worker, the

  919. agony that he endured, the pain and the suffering brother

  920. Tyler that he put up with his death his barrel,

  921. and the Apostle Paul was there to remind them of

  922. his resurrection. I said again, the Apostle Paul was there

  923. to remind them of his resurrection.

  924. And that's what I want to remind you.

  925. All of you better go back and take one more

  926. look at the tub of your life, and.

  927. Thank God that you who walked in sin that was

  928. dead and.

  929. Trespasses in sin, who had no spiritual life, those spiritual

  930. existence that had already begun the process of eternal spiritual

  931. damn nation.

  932. That right now you can go in there and see

  933. the actor effect.

  934. Of him saying to your heart, I am the Resurrection,

  935. I am the Truth, and I have a life.

  936. I am glad that I'm no longer dead spiritually. Is

  937. this boring to you? Honestly?

  938. The empty tomb has a testapony that most of this

  939. people in this world do not want to receive.

  940. Amen.

  941. Basically, Paul was telling them that Jesus has all power

  942. in heaven and.

  943. And earth, that he has power to laid in his

  944. life and take it up again.

  945. Paul could have led these people to the filled to

  946. with so many leaders of Judaism, he could have pointed

  947. out the barrel signs of high priest priests.

  948. And develop men and women of God. He could have

  949. took him on a tour and pointed.

  950. Out said they are so and so, and they're so

  951. and so, and you know what, the Printhians could have

  952. took him on a tour and said, there's the priest

  953. of this temple, here's the priestess of that temple. That's

  954. where this group of post prostitute is buried. Here's where

  955. this husband.

  956. Got into a rage.

  957. He fell down off the steps in.

  958. A drunken stupor, and he died. Amen.

  959. He could have pointed out the burial site of the

  960. beloved martyr Stephen and the martyr James.

  961. He could have pointed him at the tomb of Jesus.

  962. But he would have said, the difference here is it's

  963. still an empty tomb. It's an et bard too.

  964. Now, if Israelite and Pagans can preserve the remains of

  965. their leaders for thousands of years, don't you think the loyal,

  966. committed followers of Jesus could have preserved his remains for

  967. thousands of years? Why do they not have his remains?

  968. Because he's not here, he is risen. The inspiration for

  969. the sermon was two or three days ago. I was

  970. meditating on the Lord, and resonating in my heart was

  971. why seek you the living among the dead? In obedience

  972. to Apostle Paul I spent the first thirty minutes trying

  973. to lay out the simple basic plan of salvation and

  974. bring a self awareness to sin and how easy it

  975. is to be born again. And so I haven't been

  976. able to really preach this message to the saints the

  977. way I would like to have preached it. But God

  978. knows that death Center needs Jesus as much as you

  979. need a shout.

  980. They need to save it church.

  981. Without the Resurrection, there would be no Christianity. Without the Resurrection,

  982. our belief and our.

  983. Stand would be in vain.

  984. While speaking to two sisters who were grieving sorely the

  985. loss of their brother to the clause of sickness and

  986. death and first in John eleven twenty five, Jesus said

  987. it to her, I am the Resurrection and the life

  988. he that believes in me.

  989. Though he were dead, yet shall he live.

  990. Let me ask you something again, Why would somebody come

  991. into church and stare at good, clean, living young women. Right.

  992. I'm not saying they did. It would disdain I'm not

  993. saying they scorned them. I will say, definitely, the.

  994. Most of the time, the people of the spirit of

  995. this world, they don't understand and they will.

  996. I'll never understand, because there are things that are spiritually

  997. designed only.

  998. But what would they rather see? A tone full of bones?

  999. What would they rather see on resurrections Sunday, wealthy and

  1000. unwealthy men and women.

  1001. In the bays of Fort Myers.

  1002. Drinking it up on sand bars and immodest attire, Mothers

  1003. that are supposed to be mothers, not paying any attention

  1004. to their children, while flashing their flesh to every man

  1005. around and acting like they don't mean nothing by it,

  1006. but secretly glorying and gloating in the fact that they're

  1007. revealing their flesh. It sounds to me like the nasty

  1008. things that were going on near the temple of the

  1009. Goddess of Dennis.

  1010. I guess that's nothing to.

  1011. Look at for sure, But I'm asking you a question.

  1012. Why do we look in tombs that are full of poems?

  1013. Why do we look in tombs that are full of

  1014. sinful fleshly desires, of sinful actions, and look upon the

  1015. dead and not have any criticism for that right? Why

  1016. do we not have any criticism for that? Why do

  1017. we not have more glory for the power of an

  1018. empty tombe? Why do we not have more testimony for

  1019. the tomb. Why Why isn't it a wonderful thing? Why

  1020. isn't it a glorious thing? To Brother Nathaniel's sister Rachel,

  1021. whose children follow them in the past of righteousness in truth,

  1022. who are teaching their children to be virtuous and to

  1023. prize modest the impurity.

  1024. But they've looked at Apostle Paul. He's a whole lot

  1025. more man of God than I am.

  1026. But he's pretty ball walking into this region of such

  1027. a place and telling people where any.

  1028. And everything goes, and telling them, hey, you can't do that.

  1029. Be a child of God.

  1030. Your toom's supposed to be empty, Amen, I said, your

  1031. team's supposed to be empty.

  1032. There's not supposed to be anything in the recesses of

  1033. that cavern.

  1034. There's not supposed to be anything caved in, There's not

  1035. supposed to be anything cloaked, Amen, the power of an

  1036. empty tube.

  1037. There's no bones there, there's no bloodstains there. I believe

  1038. that there's no trace. What's some effort. There's no evidence

  1039. of me had power to bending over him.

  1040. That might have been blowed on that cross. But I'm

  1041. telling you, when he come out of that too. The

  1042. only evidence that he had even been. There was a

  1043. folded napkin that was folded in such a way that

  1044. people that knew culinary law, that they knew that if

  1045. the diner or the entree wasn't finished with a dish,

  1046. if they had to go to the restroom or take

  1047. a break because of an emergency, they would fold a

  1048. cloth in a.

  1049. Certain way, signifying I'll be back.

  1050. And when the apostles and them dear women that loved

  1051. him went into empty tomb, they found a folded cloth.

  1052. Signified I'll be back. They finished. Yet when he.

  1053. Said it it's finished, he was saying, I have surrendered

  1054. my life unto death, but I'm not done working, and

  1055. I'm not finished. Jesus looked and broken Mary and Martha,

  1056. and he said, I have the resurrection though he were dead.

  1057. Yet shall he live?

  1058. Y'all remember them going for triumph to tragedy, back to triumph.

  1059. In this case, the brother was raised from the grip

  1060. by the spoken word of Jesus. He commanded Lazarus to

  1061. come forth by name. Do you know why he did

  1062. such a thing. If he had just said come forth,

  1063. every tomb in that seventeen would have been emptied. And

  1064. told his disciples you got to remove the stone that

  1065. decealed the house of death.

  1066. Removed the stone in.

  1067. Every pilgrim traveling on the Jerich Coole wrote to Jerusalem

  1068. would have knew in this particular miracle. I'll give out

  1069. again a man, this is all of what I really

  1070. wanted to preach today, every pilgrim that was making their

  1071. pilgrimage to the Passover.

  1072. Tens of thousands of people have gathered at this time.

  1073. If you study the Word of God like I have,

  1074. you'll see that this is probably the mast miracle Jesus performed.

  1075. So already Jesus deliberately and intentionally.

  1076. This is where I wish I could have preached today.

  1077. But Jesus and Paul taught us, you make that center

  1078. your priority. And so I showed you what personal evangelism is.

  1079. You have to say things you already know about, and

  1080. you have to.

  1081. Do it with passion and hopefull they believe you.

  1082. Amen, because this world is full of unbelief. And I

  1083. felt the spirit come in this place because the prince

  1084. of this world, the devil, does not want anybody to

  1085. come out of there too.

  1086. He wants that girl to.

  1087. Continue think that she was called to be a goth

  1088. I'm not talking about anybody in this building. I'm talking

  1089. about some friends of mine of yesteryear. He wants that

  1090. drunkard to think he has to continue being a drunk

  1091. because he's got a head on collision.

  1092. Prepared for him just up to the road. He's going

  1093. to use that as the avenue to him.

  1094. But there's tens of thousands of Jews who worshiped Jehovah,

  1095. keepers of Judaism coming to Jerusalem.

  1096. The Jericho road is crowded. It's full of believers, and Lazarus, the.

  1097. Friend of Jesus, has got sick. How can this be

  1098. the will of God that I be sick?

  1099. Mary Martha's expecting the rival of Jesus and the thank

  1100. he's running late. And Jesus shows up and performs this miracle,

  1101. the resurrection of Lazarus and better Nathaniel in that little

  1102. towne of Methany. And if I've studied my Bible correctly

  1103. and looked at the Bible maps in the map so

  1104. many times accurately, I've reached the conclusions two to three

  1105. miles from Bethany to Jerusalem, Brother Nathaniel. If somebody gets

  1106. raised from the dead, two to three miles away.

  1107. Everybody knows brother Town.

  1108. Everybody's stirred up, and everybody's wondering could this thing be.

  1109. Not only was this person raised from the dead, but

  1110. Mary Martin's a lot of our witnesses in this little

  1111. tearing of meath that he said he had been this alone.

  1112. He's stuck because the Jewish people did not embom anybody.

  1113. They just covering them with spices. The blurred that sees

  1114. the flow tissue is now decay. Real worness has now

  1115. released its hold. The body's growing limp. Bacterious in the

  1116. body is now having a heyday because there's no resistance.

  1117. Bacteria lives in your body in the day your body

  1118. stops fighting it with something called antibodies is the day

  1119. you die, whether you continue to live or not.

  1120. There's been a lot of people die because the antibody

  1121. is stuck working.

  1122. A lot of good people started dying because people like

  1123. Paul would no longer going to church, telling us koods's

  1124. supposed to stay empty.

  1125. Amy.

  1126. We don't build again the things we wants to sid

  1127. unless we make ourselves a transgression.

  1128. Hold.

  1129. This bacteria in this life, this bacteria in that flesh,

  1130. the antibodies is.

  1131. The power of God, the word of God, the blood

  1132. of Jesus.

  1133. That's how we live and move and have I been

  1134. the day Jesus tells it. Bacteria is to take hold

  1135. of your body. Ain't nothing you can do about it.

  1136. Do y'all know there's so many bacterias in your body

  1137. right now.

  1138. If Jesus was to hold back of antibodies, you'd be

  1139. dead in about five days. After three hours, riga mortis

  1140. sets in, right But after seventy two hours, Ringga mortis

  1141. turns loose. That body can starts gassing up, they get blooded.

  1142. Bacteria is just ravaging. And that's what's going throughout the

  1143. streets of Jerusalem. Over there in Bethany, Mary and Martha

  1144. they're telling us we knew he's already blooted in the stitch,

  1145. but death was present. There were no spices that we

  1146. could put on him to cover up the stench of death.

  1147. But he's alive. And we looked through the window and

  1148. in there having dinner with Mary and Martha is Jesus Alazrath.

  1149. I'm trying to tell you something. God laid the foundation today.

  1150. God's waigh in the foundation right now for a Resurrection.

  1151. I wouldn't be surprised if visitors or people as missing

  1152. and don't get saved in the near future.

  1153. Jesus laid a foundation in the resurrection.

  1154. Of Lazar, and so whenever he came in to Jerusalem,

  1155. there were people that were very much aware that he

  1156. is the Resurrection.

  1157. They were very much a way that he had power

  1158. over death, hell and the grave. They were very much aware,

  1159. Brother Tyler. Then if they took his life in might

  1160. very well take it up again.

  1161. The secret service of the Roman Empire would have already

  1162. told Roland leaders.

  1163. Hey, this man brought one back from the dead. Amen.

  1164. Amen, Well, preacher, you don't know how far they're gold.

  1165. You don't know how dead they are. You don't know

  1166. how callous they are. The truth Listen when they figure

  1167. out that it's more glorious to see a woman there,

  1168. Rachel Howell, love her husband, love her children.

  1169. Brother Nathaniel, I was praying last night. I don't know

  1170. what this means. I'm not prophesying you're gonna have a boy.

  1171. I know one time, for some reason just kept coming

  1172. to me trying you might be gonna have a girl

  1173. or boy girl.

  1174. I don't know, but I was praying, and I think

  1175. the Lord showed me something that you and Rachel have

  1176. done to date.

  1177. I never thought of this.

  1178. When I was a praying for Nathaniel and then I

  1179. was praying for Reject. I said, I know he's in

  1180. the hands of the Lord. I was just praying for it. Seriously,

  1181. I do that multiple times every day. I said, I

  1182. know he's in the very best of hands Lord, but

  1183. I just wanna pray for it. But then I was

  1184. praying for Rachel, Rebecca, Renee, and Ruce.

  1185. I said, all their.

  1186. Names begin with a letter on. And then I said,

  1187. we're apparently Nathaniel started the jay thing Reject.

  1188. So Nathaniel had a jay thing going on, and Rachel's

  1189. got an ur thing going on.

  1190. I said, what does that mean on him? But we

  1191. could go out there to Olva Cemetery all we want

  1192. to if I'm not jerking on your emotions, Nathaniel, Yeah,

  1193. I heard too bad every day because of this, that

  1194. jerk on your emotions.

  1195. And we can dust off the tombstone, and we can

  1196. reposition the cattle.

  1197. And the cow trailers and the four wheelers and the

  1198. little cars. But the truth is Jep does not in there.

  1199. He's not in their sister, Mickey, I do go to

  1200. see him. I do go to visit his corpse. Just

  1201. let some of you one day go to visit mine.

  1202. Just like Apostle Paul has taking 'em mentally to all

  1203. the tombs of all their religious leaders by there, and

  1204. I don't know what the names were, but Paul could say,

  1205. right there, under that heap of dirt in that stone,

  1206. there's there years. But I can tell you there's an

  1207. empty two where our lord. I don't know how they

  1208. can call it freedom and religious liberty to live however

  1209. they want to and do whatever they want to do,

  1210. and get so drunk and say they're good people, and they.

  1211. Mean well, when that woman wakes up in the wrong

  1212. bed and that man.

  1213. Mistakenly, accidentally but drunkenly kills his best friend.

  1214. But can I tell you when they have scars.

  1215. Like that, and they have bondles like that, says to

  1216. how the only thing a great preacher can offer them.

  1217. Is I'm just telling you he can empty to too.

  1218. I'm just telling you he can deal with death.

  1219. You don't have to drown yourself in sorrows. It was

  1220. just a few days ago, and I don't want to

  1221. keep you too long. I woke up troubled in my spirit,

  1222. but having a piece, always having a peace, and I

  1223. was afraid. And after that, I took my cellphone and

  1224. I looked at it, and across the top was a

  1225. notification a man who has been killed on State Route

  1226. twenty seven since a tow truck driver. Immediately, God revealed

  1227. that identity of that man to me, so I forwarded

  1228. that message, Brother Jeremiah.

  1229. I said nothing of it. About four hours later, Jeremiah.

  1230. Said, hey, Dad, do you know the idea of that

  1231. man that was killed? That toe truck driver did own

  1232. that toe truck business in the bell. I said, I

  1233. feel like God showed me who it was.

  1234. He said, Dan, just two or three days ago, and

  1235. that was the man that stood on ourselves lot.

  1236. That was the man that bought one of our sheds.

  1237. He's gonna put it on his hunting property. It's a

  1238. clubhouse for him and his wife to go hunting. I

  1239. was just dealing with him and his wife, a realtor

  1240. in town. All he was doing was working right there

  1241. on the side of the road. And they say, Brother Jesse,

  1242. on a long stretch of road where there's not a

  1243. lot of cars. That's not like six miles Cypress or

  1244. Colonial Boulevard. He's done it a thousand times. He let

  1245. Brother tarybody know he's made good money, had it. He said,

  1246. these portable buildings are cheap?

  1247. What dearness? So she pop by a couple of them.

  1248. A great guy.

  1249. For some reason, I pulled my vehicle in there that day,

  1250. pulled right up to his.

  1251. Fine truck, put something in Brother Jeremiah's truck, and my

  1252. spirit just kind of went out to that guy.

  1253. I'll never forget his space as long as I live.

  1254. And he was indeed at and contemplation speaking with Brother Jeremiah,

  1255. and I drove out that game, Brother Leathaniel having no

  1256. idea just a few days he'd be dead. Our delivery

  1257. driver did not know it was him and kept trying

  1258. to get a hold of his wife. We need to

  1259. schedule delivery. She's not answering the phone. You know why

  1260. she's not answering the phone because her loved one is dead.

  1261. Oh God, I would love to tell that family that

  1262. we can have a hope to see them again.

  1263. I would love to tell every person that is lost

  1264. the loved one to death that you can have hope

  1265. to see them again. But what you have to do

  1266. is to make sure your heart is right with God.

  1267. I know of people that prayed by the caskets of deceased.

  1268. And loved ones.

  1269. Not only was the love of Jesus Christ driving them.

  1270. And pulling them and constraining them to pray and dedicating

  1271. their life to Jesus, but.

  1272. The thought of never seeing their loved.

  1273. One again, the thought of the circle being broken. Amen.

  1274. That might have been the last miracle Jesus performed before

  1275. his death. So he's still doing miracles today. And Apostle

  1276. Paul did his best to strengthen the faith of the disciples.

  1277. And Brother Steric.

  1278. Most people just didn't believe in the power of an

  1279. empty cob. But I want you all to know we

  1280. can be simple and understanding all we want to. But

  1281. I will never be amongst those that walk into a

  1282. club ever again and look around and act like that's normalcy.

  1283. I will die as one.

  1284. That says, Sister Charity Howell is a noble woman, a

  1285. trustworthy woman, a beautiful soul and a beautiful spirit. And

  1286. let me just share some wisdom with y'all. I've been

  1287. around Benecosta and holiness churches half a century, nearly almost

  1288. fifty years. My wife's in her fifties, other my forties,

  1289. brother Tyler, I've never been fooling up.

  1290. In fifty years to look at the people at God.

  1291. And go along with what other people say, because I've

  1292. always known which two empty and which ones are full

  1293. of dead men's barks. I've always been a realist. I've

  1294. always been honest. There's no way I can look at

  1295. a grandmother like Irish Lynn Wheaton and say she's in

  1296. a cult, she's gone off the deep end. There's no

  1297. way I could look at a woman her age, still

  1298. trying to be twenty, dressing impodiestly, standing in a bar

  1299. on a beach, in front of thirty old wenkle up men,

  1300. craving their attention, full of us, an illness of passion.

  1301. Because when me looked at that and say, she's just

  1302. as good of a woman as irish lymb Mooten. When

  1303. I closed the casket lived on irish LYNB. Mooten with

  1304. a funeral director, I will be able to say without

  1305. a doubt that was a good woman, a god fearing woman,

  1306. and a clean living woman.

  1307. And that's all Apostle Paul could offer.

  1308. These people, was all I can tell you, it doesn't

  1309. have to be like this. If we had to have

  1310. a handful of believers, it doesn't.

  1311. Have to be like this. You don't have to deal

  1312. with the after effects of sin.

  1313. Brother Gavel, I just felt the Holy goes. That's what

  1314. Brother gave would be teaching Adian.

  1315. It don't have to be like that out there. We

  1316. don't have to deal with the aftern out the sin.

  1317. Are y'all with me right now? But what I want

  1318. y'all to.

  1319. Know, there's more that I wanted to preach, and I

  1320. wanted to preach in a different manner today. But the

  1321. Bible said in the Book of Matthew that when Jesus

  1322. gave up the ghost that the earth quite. But y'all

  1323. know something else, and nobody ever preaches about, teaches about,

  1324. or talks about. The Bible said, the graves of the

  1325. old Saints opened up. Jesus cracked open the graves of

  1326. them old saints of God that he was going down

  1327. to rescue.

  1328. Now you see what could have shouted this morning. But

  1329. I'm reaching for the senator. Maybe I'll repreach this another

  1330. time of the saints. But Jesus, when he said it

  1331. is finished the earth quite.

  1332. And the graves of the saints, not of the sinner,

  1333. but the graves of the.

  1334. Saints of the Old Testament begin the shape, and they

  1335. cracked open. And Jesus descended out into the depths in

  1336. the one place called Abraham's bosom, and he let them know,

  1337. the boys to stay right here with me, because comes

  1338. Sunday morning.

  1339. We were walking out of our.

  1340. Graves, and the Bible said.

  1341. Men of the saints of.

  1342. Tod were seen. Many of the saints of God were

  1343. seen walking.

  1344. Around to Erusalem.

  1345. All the after.

  1346. Affects of the resurrection, all the after.

  1347. Attacts, Oh Jesus Christ and is raise.

  1348. Direction were standing, and the graves were open, and.

  1349. Many bodies of the saints which.

  1350. Swept a rose.

  1351. He would out at Platarus, He's finished it with many.

  1352. And you know what, if he can crack open the graves.

  1353. Of the old saints of the.

  1354. Old Testament, New Testament believers will have their graves cracked

  1355. open to two will be buried, one righteous taken, one

  1356. unrighteous left. I'm telling you God's fixing the mate Swiss

  1357. cheese out of this earth.

  1358. That's how I wanted to preach it to you. This

  1359. morning to after effects.

  1360. Before he destroys this earth that he created with fire,

  1361. he is going to pluck even the very dust of

  1362. earth that he sank about.

  1363. He told the bacteria you dissolved to dust from whence

  1364. it came? When he created that body, and when sin

  1365. entered in, that bacteria entered in and it dissolves it

  1366. to dust.

  1367. But brother Jesse, it's going to come together again, dust

  1368. particle to dust particle.

  1369. Not only is he going to take your spirit when you.

  1370. Die, your spirits with the Lord, but he's coming back

  1371. for a bad headed Gabral.

  1372. Huh. He's coming back.

  1373. For a brown headed Philip, three cancer, blond headed, post cancer,

  1374. brown headed. He's coming back for a red headed Rachel.

  1375. He's coming back for a curly headed Nathaniel. What are

  1376. you talking about?

  1377. He's gonna pluck up our bodies from.

  1378. The n.

  1379. Nathaniel, Jeffsy, His body will come up the moment yours

  1380. comes up, or he'll just meet you in the air.

  1381. The after effect will be Hello, Dad, Shall we go?

  1382. This is how I want to preach it to you

  1383. this morning. But I'm fool for the sinner saints, and

  1384. shalt raise a bursting having a beauty all around. I'll

  1385. have a new body.

  1386. Praise the Lord. I have a new life. I'd like

  1387. to see janitorial.

  1388. Services at Jerusalem that day. Clean up on straight one,

  1389. clean up on street two, clean up cemetery for if

  1390. you'll let the Holy Goes help you, I know you

  1391. in your pretty duds this morning, everybody.

  1392. Or if you'll let the Holy Goes help you, you'll

  1393. help you if you'll allow him to.

  1394. The after effect and this morning's message I pray is

  1395. that you were more convinced than is in.

  1396. His resurrection power.

  1397. If you could, would you please come forward at this time,

  1398. find a place to pray, or deal where you're at,

  1399. or sit where you're at. If you're unable to deal

  1400. and pray, graves a person saints a shout, heavenly beauty

  1401. all the round.

  1402. I'll have a new body. Praise the Lord. I'll have

  1403. a new life. My Jesus mind Jesus.

  1404. The Bible said that there would be a people that

  1405. would call good evil, that they would call evil good.

  1406. They would look upon righteousness, virtue, modesty, and truth and

  1407. purity and say no, thank you, I'm disinterested. And they

  1408. would even call it cultish behavior.

  1409. They would call it whatever they wanted to.

  1410. But if they were to go back in time, just

  1411. a little ways of look at Vandel, it's a Bible,

  1412. look at Abraham.

  1413. At the Bible. They find out it's godliness. God. I

  1414. pray for the sinners that are listening today. I pray

  1415. for any sinner in this house.

  1416. If it's a child or grandchild, a mom or a

  1417. dad or a grandparent.

  1418. And it's a person it's come looking for health and hope.

  1419. I pray for their salvation.

  1420. God.

  1421. Let them experience You and let us witness the after

  1422. effects of such an encounter.

  1423. Would just saved and sanctified, filled with the Holy Ghost,

  1424. and help them as.

  1425. You helped the grant things? Would you help them as

  1426. you help the others? Would you help from it's one

  1427. as you tell Sister Howard.

  1428. And sister, would the elder buds and sisters and field

  1429. and which you helped?

  1430. You?

  1431. Try God. So many times it seems like the sinner's

  1432. target the women here. It seems like the sinners throughout

  1433. the ages of targeted the God feared women. But every generations,

  1434. for some reason, they look.

  1435. At targets, seeing innocence, the purity, the virtues, the modesty,

  1436. the honesty, the ability despise it kind.

  1437. That's what happened in Correnthor. They had such such such historted.

  1438. Their understanding was so co relative, imagination so taluted, and

  1439. adulgement for the indulged, so many their.

  1440. Indulgence as God.

  1441. All an empty tune, an empty tun, an empty two,

  1442. the empty two. But Jesus testifies to empty.
