Transcript
-
Brother Nathaniel, would you read our first code text Psalm
-
chapter number thirty four and verse number eight.
-
Old taste and see that the Lord is good. Blessed
-
is the man that trusteth in him.
-
Hey man, how many of you have tasted and saw
-
that the Lord is good?
-
Without a doubt? He is good, He is still sweet.
-
I know, Brother Jesse, First Samuel, chapter number fourteen and verse.
-
Number twenty seven.
-
Please, brother, but Jonathan hear not when his father charged
-
the people with the oath, wherefore he put forth the
-
end of the rod that was in his hand, and
-
dipped it in an honeycomb, and put it in and
-
put his hand to his mouth, and his eyes were enlightened.
-
That code text is speaking of an experience that the
-
best friend of David had praise the Lord.
-
Let's stand for.
-
The reading of our golden text again, directing your attention
-
to Psalm Champion number nineteen, verse number ten. The Bible says,
-
more to be desired are they than gold? Yea than
-
much fine gold, sweeter also than honey and the honey. Come,
-
Heavenly Father, we think and we praise you for the
-
opportunity to be in your house today.
-
We thank you for this thy people.
-
God, I pray that you would set a guard at
-
their ears and help them to hear look the screed
-
of God, says O than the church today this morning,
-
this Sunday morning, that we celebrate you, God, every day
-
of the week we celebrate You, who set aside this
-
day to honor you and to have services and to
-
worship and to praise you.
-
Annoying the lifts of this Thy servant.
-
Set a guard at my mouth, and help me to
-
say the thing that you would have me to say.
-
Nothing more less. Help us God to allow these.
-
Sayings to go below the shoulders God, just in one
-
ear and out to other. May they acerate our soul,
-
our spirit, our mind, our bid Lord, maybe not depart
-
this place Sorrowflavid rather joyfully in Jesus's name, and the
-
Church said, aymen, look at your neighbor and say, hey, neighbor,
-
honey sweet, but Jesus is sweeter Our text is found
-
in an Old Testament book of the Holy Bible. This
-
particular part of the Hebrew Song Book was written by
-
the second King of Israel, David by Name, also known
-
as the Sweet Psalmist of Israel. In Second Samuel, chapter
-
number twenty three. Amongst those verses in that chapter you
-
will find the last words of David. It is truly
-
all inspiring to read behind David. He is poetic in nature.
-
He speaks to the common man. He seems to identify
-
with a common man and woman's problems. His words are
-
so relevant to us today. In fact, we must admit
-
that his words are sweet words, and they speak to
-
us in time of sorrow, in time of travail, we
-
reach out to the twenty third song. Any preacher that
-
has never done so has missed the sweet opportunity to
-
comfort the hearts and the spirits of troubled individuals during
-
their time of bereavement. I know that I have resorted
-
to the words of David many times when I found
-
my words to be insufficient in comforting those who grieve terribly.
-
And as to how I have found these words to
-
be sweet words, because they are the words of somewhat sweeter.
-
You see, David was annoying to by God that anointing
-
makes all of the difference. In fact, the Bible says
-
that the anointing will destroy the yoke. What kind of
-
yoke will the anointing destroy? Well, first, let me say
-
that it will destroy the yoke of sin. And secondly,
-
it will.
-
Destroy the yoke of distraction, and it will bring forth
-
an attraction.
-
That is not a fatal attraction or a fantasy, but
-
it will bring forth something that is faithful and true,
-
dreams and hopes, not mirages, but oases to a spirit
-
that is.
-
Vexed or trouble.
-
You will find that when David's predecessor, King Saul, was
-
troubled in his mind and in his spirit, that they
-
would summons the presence of this sweet Psalmis of Israel,
-
and he would play skillfully, sometimes with a loud noise
-
and sometimes with.
-
A sweet noise.
-
He would play, and he would comfort the troubled spirit
-
of King saw brother Nathaniel in his death bed statement.
-
In this twenty third song of Second.
-
Samuel, we find the last words of David. In the
-
very first verse of that particular chapter, we find where
-
David described himself as the sweet Psalmist of Israel. I
-
preach in the day of message the Holy Ghost titled
-
Honey's Sweet and he is Sweeter, speaking of Jesus again,
-
a sermon the Holy Ghost title Honey's Sweet and He's Sweeter.
-
There is no doubt that King Saul in his time
-
was a pleasant blessing to the.
-
Nation of Israel. But nipping on.
-
The heels of King Saul was a second blessing of swords.
-
In the of David, there was a spirit that would
-
love people greatly, and people could not help but adore him.
-
How many of you have ever met somebody that seemingly
-
is beloved by everybody. Everybody that shakes hands with them,
-
or hugs their neck, or communicates with them, walks away
-
and says, that is a sweet person.
-
You will remember a woman by the name of Naomi.
-
There was a time that she returned from a pagan
-
land because her husband had miss led her into a
-
pagan land, a land where she lost her husband to.
-
Death, along with her two sons. She left them and
-
brother Philip.
-
When she returned to her homeland of bread, of sweet bread,
-
she spoke to the people of her village, and she said,
-
no longer call me that pleasant one, no longer call.
-
Me sweet Naomi. I am now bitter and Naomi, because
-
God has treated me sorely.
-
She was sadly and poorly mistaken, because it was not
-
the Lord that had called such things to come upon her.
-
It was the igrets and the stupidity of her husband, Alimolea.
-
Some idiot one time said that you can't blame Alimaa
-
for going into the land of Moab with an intent
-
to provide for his family. Oh yes, I can, because
-
when you find that Naomi came back to Bethlehem, it
-
was still boassh being blessed.
-
It was still the house of bread.
-
It seems to me like Alimlac was like some perhaps
-
in this building, and no doubt many in our holiness
-
of Pentecostal movements that are looking to make a move
-
to go away from the house of Bread, to get
-
away from the sweet things and the present things of God,
-
that is the spirit of the prodigal son. For some reason,
-
I feel a like bread eating in secret is pleasent.
-
I feel like going somewhere where I.
-
Should not be would be a pleasant and experience. We
-
find a biblical example of this in Love when he
-
left the.
-
Home and the homestead of a sweet uncle uncle.
-
Abe Abraham, and he drifted into that land of Solomon Gamar,
-
only to father to be an unpleasant and bitter experience.
-
I'm talking about He is sweeter.
-
Than anything that you have ever partook of praise the Lord.
-
The Bible students and the readers present this.
-
Morning know that David is a type.
-
A picture and a predecessor of Cheese Christ.
-
They were both born in Bethlehem.
-
Both men were rods or stems out of Jesse, and.
-
Both were keenly.
-
Both are still dearly beloved, and both are most pleasant
-
to individuals.
-
Could I get a witness, Lord Christ, Jesus, our Lord
-
and Savior. David was a very sweet person.
-
Look at your neighbor and asked him the question, Hey, neighbor,
-
are you a sweet person? Are you a pleasant person?
-
You see this sweet?
-
So, mister Israel.
-
David describes himself as a pleasant person. As a child
-
on the backside of his fatherst piece of property. The
-
Bible described it as a desert place. David was pleasant.
-
While taking care of his troorers for the day.
-
And clicking and checking off his daily assignments taking care
-
of his father's sheep, for example. David was pleasant. He
-
was pleasant, but he was playing skillfully upon that heart.
-
He was pleasant to his mother and father's years as
-
he sang with that voice.
-
He was pleasant to others in the nation of Israel. Eventually,
-
but I want you to know, as sweet and as
-
pleasant as he was, there was someone more present, someone sweeter.
-
I would like to remind you that David was a
-
type or a picture or parallel of Jesus Christ.
-
There's not a whole lot said about it.
-
Our Lord, also known as the Son of David.
-
That I do know that he too like to sing.
-
I wonder how great he sounded that particular time he walked.
-
His disciples over into a solitary place and began.
-
To sing him. I would love.
-
To think that he wrote to something new, but I
-
don't believe he did.
-
Because the gospel authors were recorded her the Song.
-
Of Jesus the same way they recorded what we know.
-
Asked the Lord's prayer better, Jesse.
-
I believe he reached into the Hebrews songbird and he
-
opened up one of the songs of David, and he
-
just liked David. He began to sing a song better Samuel.
-
I'm sure it was pleasing to those of a leading
-
upon the bosom of him.
-
I'm sure it was pleasing to those that were in earshot.
-
And not everybody heard the sweetness. Not everybody was willing
-
to listen. Not everybody is willing to travel at great
-
distances to hear an annoyted person teach, seeing a preacher.
-
That no reponent is for those that we're willing to
-
go out to the wilderness to.
-
Hear what Jesus described.
-
As the world's greatest preacher. He asked him a question,
-
He said, what would she out for to hear?
-
What would she out for to see? Abe a man
-
named Johnna you went to hearing.
-
The see her her voice and a person, and he
-
was crying out in the wilderness.
-
He hold, somebody's coming. Who is sweeter.
-
Somebody that's coming up is greater. You could call in
-
John the announce her.
-
He was not at all.
-
Reluctant to say, I'm unaware to unbuckle the shoe leather.
-
He was not hesitating all the sailor I'm not even.
-
Worthy to stand there shoulder a soda with him.
-
Oh yes, the preacher that John was sweep. Oh yes,
-
the baptism of John was sweep.
-
Holy. Yes to disciples of Chad, whom someone who would
-
have eventually become.
-
The disciples of He Jesus could say this, no doubt
-
that man that's walking around with locus in his pockets,
-
there's some honey. He may be a citric, but he's
-
a great preacher. He may be different that tas no
-
doubt he's a prophet. He may be a little bit
-
different than a noough that he's extremely naughting, and that
-
cricket snacking, the honey dipping.
-
The man of God said, I says, honey, sweeter.
-
There's something sweeter coming that I want you to know
-
right here today, it's been sweet after this toad.
-
But for you, sir, for you tut me see.
-
Who sang the song before, and the lyrics go like this,
-
How sweet is the victory? After you fought, after you're told,
-
after you wrestled and struggled for a while, You say, Preacher,
-
I've been fighting and struggling and battling. I've been dealing
-
with things I thought I would never deal with. You're
-
blessed in the fact that you're battling, because it lets
-
me know you're doing to experience.
-
A sweet victory.
-
What concerns me is those with the spirit of Unicus
-
that are done with the servants, done with the moves
-
of God, done with hurt, and tired of hearing what
-
the preacher.
-
Has to say. Those with a the beauticus has got
-
one I own Jesus and one I on the world.
-
And they aren't.
-
Bothered at all that they're not fighting. They're not bothered
-
at all that they're not shruggling. They're not bothered at all.
-
Come on, now, I'm telling you, somebody in this building
-
here today, you have been fighting, you.
-
Have been battling.
-
But I hear the sound of sweet victory in my
-
ears today. Mother, Keep praying for the prodigal children, and pastor,
-
keep praying for the fat slaughterer saints of God. Keep
-
praying for those that are seeking greeted deaths in God,
-
and those that are pursuing sweeter things. I want you
-
to know. It was one thing to hear the teaching
-
of the scribes.
-
The Saducees, and the Pharisees.
-
It was another thing to read their record of the
-
things that God did that I want you to know.
-
When the Living Word himself came in as just a
-
young boy and he's set in their prisons and he
-
began to speak the Word, he didn't tell him anything new.
-
This clouds, didn't pull out pen and partsment. There was
-
nothing else to write. When he talked to them about himself.
-
He talked to them about the written and the living word.
-
And them scholars stood there and they marveled.
-
How this young man he knew sub merch, and how.
-
This young man could preach her sweeter about sweeter things.
-
I want you and no, I appreciate all preaching. All
-
preaching is good. But when it's annoying and when.
-
God's in it somehow someway, it is all the more sweeter.
-
I'm sure there.
-
Were many musicians who lived in the days of David,
-
many talented writers, many poets, many songwriters, many prolific artists.
-
There's no doubt they were in the kingdom. The best
-
of the best was present. The chief musician himself was present.
-
And sometimes after singing them beautiful songs that the Israelites
-
or Israelis loved so much, they would.
-
Bring a new manuscript.
-
If you would in at brother Road camp, they would say,
-
this didn't come from the priest, This didn't come from
-
the high priest.
-
This came from David. But you know, David's not now
-
write songs because he's king. He's been writing them since
-
he was a boy. And I'm talking to somebody.
-
You have felt like the devil's been nipping on your
-
heels ever since you've been a child. But I want
-
you to know you just keep on singing when nobody
-
else is around. God loves to hear you sing. That.
-
There was something about the lyrics of these songs. And
-
the sweet sonster would bring into the company of his
-
brothers and sisters, and he would take a back seat.
-
I suppose as king, but not as priest and brother
-
rode cap he would let the preacher be the preacher.
-
He would let the priest be the priest, and he
-
would let the song leader lead a song.
-
No wonder the power. David interrupted the service. But somebody
-
would say, turn to this sweet song of a sweet sonist.
-
And everybody would look at David, and David would say
-
something like this, it's all.
-
In Jesus, my sweet Jesus, it's all of cheese. That
-
fai deip he in the honor deip here the praise
-
give here the Lord. I'm telling us here today he
-
is sweet. He is sweet, and sweeter than the honey
-
that's in the hooded corner. He is sweeter. David knew
-
his strength and his song came from the Lord.
-
Look at your neighbor and say, hey, neighbor, my strength
-
and my song comes from my Savior. So it was
-
a pleasant person as pleasing as the Philistine woman was.
-
The sampson David was more pleasing to Israel. Should I
-
say it again, As pleasing as the Philistine woman was,
-
the sampson David was more pleasing to Israel.
-
Honey is sweet. He is sweeter talking to Jesus.
-
It was set of Saul during his early years that
-
he was chosen by God courageous and mighty in battle,
-
and that he greatly loved his people and arose to
-
defend them.
-
When they were in trouble. It was set of Saul
-
that he was a ruler, and he was.
-
Somebody that people could have confidence in. Up certain point,
-
he was courageous and mighty. Come on now, But at
-
first Sevenuel, chapter number eighteen, from verses seven.
-
To nine, we find the reader is exposed to some
-
good stuff right here, some sweeter stuff. There's some shoogar.
-
Cookies being served up right here, something commonly known amongst
-
the people of the nation of Israel concerning Saul and David.
-
And the women of Israel answered.
-
One another as they played, and said, Saul has slain
-
his thousands, but David his tens thousands. You'll come on now.
-
Saul is sweet, but David is sweeter. The biblical record
-
tells us soul, Saul is great, but David is greater.
-
Saul is a great general, but David is a greater general. Well,
-
come on now, read our text again. Salm chapter number
-
nineteen and verse Nu tien and sitting more than be
-
desired are theys in gold.
-
He ain't a much fine gold, sweeter also than honey
-
and the honey comb.
-
The word spoken from the mouth or the living word
-
of pleasant to my ever living and never dying soul.
-
How many of your love the Word of God?
-
How many have you love with God communicates with you
-
through this written word or through the.
-
Preaching of a preacher or minister. Faith cometh by hearing
-
and hearing bout the word of God.
-
Not everybody finds preaching my sake the pod and knowing
-
the dependure of the sleep. Not everybody wanted to hear
-
Jesus preacher. Not everybody wanted to follow him.
-
At some point they said, the words that he speaks
-
are too harsh.
-
I want you to know this, sir, the word of God,
-
it's never high, it's never too heavy. It's never too benner.
-
We should consume it. Being her hedy, it's because.
-
We're in the wrong spirit. We get out of the spirit.
-
It'll be sweet my soul. Shall I keep preaching or
-
shall we go to the fellowship?
-
Paul, As I read the written word, my sweet Savior
-
communicates with me. I challenged this church recently to stretch
-
our reading daily reading, and I said, try to read
-
at least five chapters a day. It wasn't but a
-
few days later, my daughter Hannah said, his words have
-
gotten a hold of me, and she says, now I
-
no longer.
-
Want to stop after reading five chapters.
-
She fell in my trap because I learned that when
-
brother Jeremiah was delivered my actlessly by the arms in
-
the hands of our sweet Savior as he was dying.
-
In the womb, I remember, God spoke to my heart.
-
And he said, if you'll read at least five chapters
-
a day in my word, I will bless you and
-
I will.
-
Put my naughton upon your life.
-
And he continue with this, just take keen that you
-
love it, and take keen that you really listen to it.
-
In other words, Jesus was saying, hearken and heed oh,
-
come on. Now, I've never told my wife all of
-
the details.
-
Of that night.
-
But as she lay there rift open, and as I
-
held my baby boy in my arms, I opened the
-
Bible and God spoke those words to me.
-
That's what the psalmist is saying right here.
-
David was a king, yes, but he revered and regarded
-
the word of God.
-
I'm asking you this morning, do you have faith in
-
your heart? Leave and to receive what the Spirit of
-
God says. Under the church, there was some that.
-
Did listening to Jesus when he spoke during his earthly ministry.
-
There was some that John talked about in his Book
-
of Revelations that would not hear. So the Spirit would say,
-
if you've got ears to hear, listen to him as
-
he communicates with you.
-
People have asked me what is the secret to the anointing.
-
I'll tell you, first and foremost, his humility, Secondly, the sincerity,
-
and trly is.
-
A love for the word of God.
-
Because the word of God is God's will manifest. I
-
want to say it again, the word of God is
-
God's will manifest where God's will reveal. That's why treasure
-
the words of God.
-
David you're just right from the epop.
-
David had a pipe crowd that was permeated, that's satifated
-
by the sacred. The reason why his words were not
-
it's because they were by the Lord. When I read
-
the written word, my living Savior, the living Word, the
-
sweet Savior communicates with me.
-
After all, he.
-
Left sixty six love letters in my hands. Why would
-
I not treasure them during my lifetime? Why would I
-
not be pleased with them? Why would somebody not be
-
pleased this morning with what the Spirit of God is
-
saying to you through this sermon? Specific you see, sister,
-
how these sixty six love letters have served as a
-
blessing to me and you during every facet and phase
-
of our life, by our reading and hearing and adhering
-
to the Word of God that he has communicated with
-
us through his word and through his Holy Ghost.
-
It's in Atlanta and agreement with the Word.
-
It is my delight and pleasure to listen and to
-
hearken and the heed, because any time My Savior speaks
-
to me, there is a purpose, some of which I.
-
Can dream up, some of which I can guess what
-
he means, and some of which I.
-
Must trust fool it home. Why the spirit is saying
-
what it's saying, Because.
-
Only God knows all things, and only God never has
-
to think, and only.
-
God knows what my future holds. Only God knows what
-
my children will become.
-
Without annoying it on my life, without God leading and
-
the rent to me. I will say again, Holy.
-
God knows one woman becoming my grandchildren and my grandbabies.
-
If I need not, let God speak to me.
-
You know what, the nation an Isu.
-
Was blaster because I had a sweet, solemn stuff that
-
could speak.
-
Into their life. And they're paying me such keep me safe.
-
That's a cure. Let me ask you what matters most?
-
Her paycheck a pinchion of what parson it's.
-
Like prosperity, he maling, that's your answer, holding all up
-
to the answer for every lasting God.
-
I always perk up with delight when I realize the
-
Master is speaking directly to me and whatever the Master
-
hands me a note and I know it's a handful
-
of purpose as much as sweet bowass meant in that
-
gesture of reaching parch corn to sweet Ruth. When I
-
realize God has handed me as sert as pacific for me,
-
I perk up with the light you see after all,
-
sweet Ruth, if you listen to what sweet bo As
-
is saying under you, there will be sweet.
-
Things in your future. And whenever the time.
-
Comes your mother in law, Naomi, we'll rebut those that
-
come in and say hello, bitter Naomi, Hello, bitter Naomi.
-
But when she's.
-
Rocking in her arms, old bed Oh, come on to Daddy,
-
your jessing, little Grandpa David, Naomi, because say, don't call
-
me better ever again.
-
Don't you call me that.
-
My name is pleasant one, My name is Naomi. I
-
want to tell you, Naomi, it's been sweet. It's been
-
good because I'm like, I get sweeter, I said, he
-
it's about to get sweeter to you.
-
Nay o day. David put it this way, sister Irish,
-
wouldn't He said, more to be desired, are they than gold?
-
You're talking about the man that wanted to build a
-
big church for Jehovah. You talking about a man that
-
was stockpiling riches and wealth of the mass and stop
-
piles of gold beyond comprehension.
-
And he said his words are more desired than gold.
-
What David is saying, just speak to me, Speak to
-
me God, I'll give you everything. If you'll just speak
-
to me, I'll think I commend a shepherd on the
-
right side of Daddy's park, if you'll just speak to me.
-
That's what made David's mess off. He wasn't worried about
-
the palace. He was worrying about the pass.
-
That's, oh God, I said, David. What's not worried about
-
the palace? He was worrying about the present. So what's
-
sweeting than living in a palace?
-
Honeyed sween and living in a palace, it's living in
-
the past.
-
That's oh God, your Lord have to sit and drive
-
death services when I can rim in this Sister Howe
-
and I eighteen years ago had just scraped the foundation.
-
I was getting ready to pour for our big house,
-
our dream house, our forever home. When God says, stop
-
what you're doing, leave a six digit salary and go
-
into uncharted territory. To make a long story short.
-
We spent some days in the LaBelle motel, not.
-
The River's Edge in that was before the days of
-
Airbnb rental housing.
-
That was before vrbo.
-
We spent quite a bit of time in the Roach
-
Coach Motel across from Burger King That was before it
-
was remodeled. That's whenever the comforters were comforters. You know,
-
they're really thick and quilted, and they have cigarette burn
-
marks in them. And Sister Hall looked at me and
-
she said, Jeremy, are you sure? I said, Honey, I'm
-
sure it was God. Are you sure, honey? And we
-
spent Christmas in a little storefront building with our six children.
-
I'm telling you, a storefront building that did not even
-
have baseboard installed and didn't have a fresh coat of
-
paint on the walls because.
-
The church people couldn't afford to do any better. And
-
I helped them pay their rent payment.
-
Oh come, but what do you want, sister Howl a
-
beautiful home on that hill?
-
What do we have there?
-
About nine acres with that gorgeous tributary that flowed.
-
Diagonally through the property, with all of.
-
Them big nut trees, all of them tangerine trees, all
-
of them orange trees, right in the middle of a giant,
-
humongous orange growth of better Jesse. What's sweeter than every
-
morning the Howl boys couldn't up and rocking out and.
-
Pulling oranges up off.
-
I'll tell you what's Sween what happened right around here
-
when brother Jesse was singing a sweet.
-
Song, how redeemed the seeing God.
-
He touched him in a great way. I'm telling you,
-
our plants were sleep, our teens were sweep. He said,
-
Oh what he had sweener plan?
-
Say?
-
I said God, he had seen their playing talking. I'm
-
telling somebody here the day God God sleep plan talking
-
for you.
-
I could see it now as Samuel came to annoy it,
-
the sons of Jesse, and he said, these are all
-
good guys. In fact, I would assume all of them
-
to be chosen of God saw chosen for his army.
-
And the Bible said that the king would choose the
-
best of the sons and the dollars.
-
There's no doubt, Samuel said. They said the word of
-
God truly that God's annoyed. And before me in the
-
spirit of God said he sweeped. But there's one sweeting.
-
Uh Are you with me? He's sweep.
-
I ain't telling you where you've been hadn't been swept.
-
I'm not telling you your plans ain't sweet. I'm not
-
telling you it ain't beautiful. I'm not telling you I
-
hadn't been a beautiful experience. I made you some pretty
-
sweet girls before I met Sister Howell. In fact, the
-
devil threw me a curveball just before I met her.
-
He always does. I told her about six months ago.
-
I said, when the devil threw me that curveball, he
-
knew what he was doing. He threw me a sweet
-
pitch buddy. He threw me a sweet lady like her woman.
-
But there was something different about Sister Howell.
-
And I walked away. I said, well, I must compare
-
the two, and there's something.
-
Sweeter about Sister Howell.
-
And there was about town individual hoping on that one.
-
Incapdul said, pick me, pick me. I'm asking you this morning.
-
You go ahead and decided. He's a sleep plans is
-
a plank.
-
He's a kid playing talk the way. He's a greater play.
-
I'm telling you here their name God, It's got something
-
beautiful hit your future. Should I keep preaching now? Should
-
we eat chicken?
-
Samuel told Jesse he said, something here is wrong with
-
this picture.
-
Something here's wrong with this picture. It should be making sense,
-
but it's not.
-
It's a holiness church, it's a holiness group, it's a
-
holiness people.
-
It's a holiness family. But for some reason I won't settled.
-
What in the world is wrong? That's what's sister, howline
-
spirits eighteen years.
-
It's beautiful plans. It's sweet plans. I guess for about
-
five years. I cleared that property with the plans in
-
my hand, with the blueprints in my hands, I'm addressmen
-
by trade. I had my finishing touches, I had my
-
wife's kiss of approval on it.
-
I mean that was sweet.
-
Plans for walking on that big wrap around ports were
-
mama hand in hand.
-
But when I looked out here today and.
-
I saw eighty something saved safety, five people that loved God, I.
-
Saw, thoughful, that God had sweeter plan my sister and I.
-
When Samuel saw David after David had been summons, he knew.
-
Then, truly, truly, we're in a situation now where sweet
-
things can happen.
-
He took that holy annoying no that had been prayed
-
over his sister would nicked up the entire bottle on
-
David's head. Can I tell you the sweet shepherd boy
-
became the sweet General.
-
And the sweet boy you're and the sweet king as
-
it's other than them.
-
He is body you don't believe it. King Saul, when
-
he got annoyed, he went to Prompheside. You get in
-
the right place at the right time. You get yourself
-
in the right situation. There ain't no telling what a
-
little shepherd boy will be counted? Is it possible for
-
things to get sweeter for me? They ain't no tellings.
-
If you live in the land of the Prophet, you
-
live in the land of Jesus. You live in the
-
land where the Holy goes. You live in the land
-
where the milk and honey is flowing.
-
One of the things Pastor Moses and assistant Pastor Joshua,
-
and you Pastor Caleb was looking forward to was possessing
-
Canaan's land.
-
A land that should not have been theirs, a land
-
of promise.
-
Because Joshua and Caleb said differently than the other spires.
-
They said, it's a lamb where the milk and honey
-
has told, Hey, I don't live with service there where
-
I won't be and move with God. How don't come on.
-
It's predictable. It's predictable. It's predictable.
-
It doesn't matter when you sew up. It's like clockwork.
-
The two puts from a honeycomb. For God Heaven, it's
-
not happen. David sitting more.
-
To beating us harder they than gold. This man neon
-
the betefits of a stockpile of gold.
-
But it goes on to say something that is better
-
than gold, because when you're hungry, you'll give everything. When
-
you're starving, you'll pay a premium for not lobster, for
-
some beanie, whennies. When you're starving, you pay a premium,
-
not for one. These sisters are prepared out there, but
-
for a hot dog. Come on now, sister, how do
-
I just come back for spending a week in Miami.
-
There's great food down there. But one particular day we
-
have been walking for a pretty good ball. I said, Honey,
-
we've got big plans, don't we?
-
And she said yeah.
-
I said, you know me, I don't care much for don'ts,
-
But that dog booth right there is looking pretty good.
-
I think I need to go get a hot boag.
-
She said, you can eat that now and pay for
-
him later.
-
With that girl at heartburns, I said, you know what,
-
I believe, I'll pass it up and hold on for
-
something sweeter. Come on, something matter, I'm gonna.
-
Pass up some trash in order to get the transfer.
-
It's okay for you to say that you're not gonna
-
stuff me full of trash whenever I.
-
Can enjoy r trasur. David was saying, the gold of
-
this world is but trash.
-
Apostle Paul said, I came it off, but dog that
-
I'm not being the center of God's will. A man
-
that perhaps was part of the Sanhedrin, the great Apostle Paul,
-
who possibly op steve real estate in Jerusalem. He said,
-
I you clid, move out of this hereto the center
-
of God's wheel.
-
And David said, more to be desired are they than gold?
-
You're talking about a man that could summons the world
-
chariot and the steeds thereof, and ride out and survey
-
stop piles of wealth.
-
And David shrugged his shoulders and say nothing to it.
-
All in a day's work. But I need him to
-
speak in here. And he'd go to his own.
-
Bedroom, tell the guards which he mine's sitting outside, and
-
put his hands.
-
On that harp and say what was it? Describes rute?
-
What was it?
-
Moses and Marriyam sung about as the lyrics of Moses's
-
song What was the lyrics of Marriam's song and brother Wood.
-
Just when nobody thought he could get any sweet sweeter
-
than the song of Moses or the song of Marriam,
-
David's sitting there behind closed doors and he said, sweet
-
is the song, Yeah, lot, I bust over.
-
Sweet as the song. I don't care about what people
-
do in public. What I care about is how I
-
feel in private. I don't care how blessed they are
-
in public. What I care about is how blessed to
-
my my bed at night.
-
When I laid my head on that bed last night,
-
intended to sleep solid.
-
It was sweet sleep, as the Bible describe it.
-
But when the Almighty started nudging me and he said,
-
you've got some good plans for this weekend.
-
But I've got some better ones.
-
And the sweet solace of Heaven started speaking into myself.
-
The words of this God and text. I was glad
-
to hear these words and.
-
Are more desirable and gown and God are sweeter than honey,
-
a honeycoll.
-
Church, as we fill the prison of God right now,
-
God's word is far more valuable than gold. Because sometimes
-
when David would get anointed, David would become more than
-
a King, he would.
-
Occupy in an office that was not his to occupy.
-
He would become a prophet. And then it got sweeter
-
than that, he would become a parallel to the Son
-
of God.
-
He would begin to prophesy of things that were coming forth,
-
things that were.
-
In the distant future. Who would trade dying with God
-
in a private place.
-
He that abideth in the secret place of the most time,
-
shall abide.
-
Under the shadow of the Almighty. Sister, how Dave knew
-
what it was to ride up to the crest of
-
a mountain.
-
With troops amassed by the hundreds of thousands, and for
-
everybody to say, that's not our glory, general, but just
-
a sweet sauce.
-
And he's doing what he must do. He hates to.
-
Shed blood, but in love to our soul he will deliver.
-
As that sounds just like my Savior. He has no
-
desire to shed the blood of any is. He's not
-
willing that any should perish. My sweet Savior's hands are
-
stretched out this morning, when our sweet Savior is weakoot
-
in crime, when he's saying, do you not see your
-
plans that I have for you? Brother Samuel, do you
-
have a notebook over there. Does somebody have a notebook
-
present that you can rush up here to this platform?
-
There's one right there. The Lord today is saying, trade
-
your blueprints.
-
From my blueprint.
-
Trade your plans for my plans, because right now you
-
feel miserable.
-
Now, how do you know you ain't a sweet promise?
-
How do you know God's done with you?
-
How do you know it's the end of the road
-
for you? How do you know you can't never be?
-
How do you know you can't never be? How do
-
you know your daughter can't ever be? How do you
-
know your son can't ever be?
-
I'm a feeling good back now, my soul. I still
-
have the plans of mine and Sister Howls forever home.
-
But I want you to know Sister Bluten ain't been
-
rolled out in about ten years, because every time I
-
go to get them, God.
-
Says, oh, that I got something sweeter for you, my boys.
-
About five weeks.
-
Ago we launched them two pontoum boats on the Clusa Hachie.
-
Brother stare At. We launched in less than five minutes.
-
Brother Jesse said, you know it didn't make sense when
-
we first left, he said, But now when I'm looking
-
at that sunset on the Clusa Hachie, He said, I
-
realized now God's.
-
Plans were so much better for us than our plans.
-
When my dear friend, one of my greatest friends, brother
-
Johnny Larimore, one of our full time revivals, when he's
-
home almost every evening, he will be found down there
-
at the picnic table. What's the public boat ram watching
-
the sun, watching God's big corn dip in the jukebox
-
and trigger them. Coyote, he's around here, sweet love of God.
-
I've been known to hear a part scream when God
-
dips his coin in his dukebox. I've been known here
-
a fish jump. I've been known here coyotes saying to
-
the glory of God.
-
I'm telling you, I feel the Holy ghost in this
-
place right now. David had all the men behind him.
-
What he was looking for.
-
Let me get in the altar, and let me get
-
along with my God in that altar, because God's word
-
will bring God's will, and God's will will bring.
-
Protection, provision and personal gain. That's what David knew. All
-
that I've acquired in a mass and gain is nothing
-
without the wealth of Him. Brother Jeremiah, his word is
-
far more.
-
Valuable than gold. His word manifest his will, and that's
-
real treasure to me. I look out here, and I'm
-
preaching to a host of people that have come far
-
and wide to be where you're at today. I would
-
be a fool not to give you hope that Jesus
-
gave four men to give you God's word and will.
-
Isn't only more desirous than gold, Brother, stere it. The
-
Psalmist said, it's sweeter than the honeycomb. How can anything
-
be sweeter than that sweet sauce dripping from a honeycomb,
-
Brother's sister, When you learn to let those sweet drippings
-
of honey leave your brain matter and that honeycomb upstairs,
-
and it starts dripping into your soul, man, you will
-
say with me the words of the Psalmist and Psalm
-
thirty four and a taste.
-
And see that the board is good. Blessed is the
-
man that trusted in him. I wonst say it again.
-
When you learn how to look the honey drip from the.
-
Brain matter and the honey corn, and let that sweet
-
drippings get down in here, you'll be like David.
-
Old taste. And see how about a sister, vickim Old
-
taste and sea. That's what one of the apostles asked
-
another one before they were apostles. Can anything good come?
-
Come and see? That's what John was saying. He's standing
-
there with a pocket full of locusts and some dipping sauso.
-
My granddaughters call it bippit, bippit, bippit, granddaddy, bippet. Can
-
you imagine that that cricket locus smacking? Preacher, you're making
-
them are bitter carcasses?
-
Sweet, I'm telling.
-
You you get where the atmosphere is permeated with anot
-
and on dead, lifeless carcasses, and become sweet.
-
I'm telling you to be sweet to your soul. What matters?
-
What matters a messing the wealth of elon musk or
-
being rich insight? I heard somebody ask me one time, said,
-
has God richly blessed you? I said, it depends on
-
how you defied it. If you're saying has God richly
-
blessed me? As it is there fifteen million dollars in
-
the bank account first, and for us, that's done of
-
your business. But if there was there was it that
-
has nothing to do with me being richly blessed, Me
-
being richly blessed as going.
-
I got saved.
-
What's sweeter than the blood of cheese life? Then I
-
feel safetification, Then I got baptizing.
-
The holy ghosts. Can my law and my love really change?
-
Hold from what experience? For what a naughty that's David?
-
About that? Oh that takes us God, Heaven the trip
-
upon you and you will know about, say sister Jana. Hell.
-
When you tell them, friends, family members, and foes how
-
sweet it is, they say it can't be. It can't be.
-
That's why David said old taste and.
-
See the first word of the Son of Saul.
-
Clearly denotes the longin is someone so this morning?
-
Oh David longs for someone to experience what he is experienced.
-
Oh taste that seed.
-
David wants someone to taste and experence God's goodness. In
-
doing so, that person will realize God's goodness.
-
They will see it. I've experienced it and now I'll
-
see it.
-
Oh Dad, I had no idea what God had in
-
store for us. Lauren, You're not a singleing wedding mother.
-
Today.
-
God looked in that apartment and he saw a singleing
-
wedding mother that was crying out saying, I really am
-
sick and tired of this.
-
I made a mistake.
-
If nobody else will forgive me, Jesus will and I
-
know brother Jeremy will. I reached for Lauren when she
-
was beginning to backslide. I was in the pew right
-
there beside her, pleading with her to live right. I
-
was a preaching a camp meeting and forgot about everybody
-
else and what all was going on, and went back
-
there to one little black sheep one, a little backslider
-
to the day, was dragging out of the House of
-
God by her heels.
-
And you know what, little did I know. Years later,
-
after not hearing from her, she would send.
-
A text message to Sister Howell and say, I've been
-
praying in my house and God is leading me down there.
-
I'm miserable, I'm starving the dispiritucy. Things are not turning
-
around for me. Yes there's sweet people here, Yes there's
-
a sweet work here, there's no doubt.
-
But for some reason, it's working for them and it's
-
not working for me. And she came down here.
-
God saved her safety fighter, refilled her with the Holy.
-
Ghost and Brother Jesse. It was very long.
-
God handed his plans for her to her. I've got
-
two tops of candy up here right now, you be
-
the judge. I've got a gummy and I've got fundip,
-
just the road cat's weakness. Let me ask you right now,
-
fat boy, what it's sweeter fundip? Is there anybody in
-
disagreement right now? Brother Justin knows I'm not picking on
-
his weight. He's laughing the whole time. Hey, which one sweeter? Fundp? Oh?
-
You're going with a gummy?
-
Brother Jonathan says he's going with a gummy. I would say, sister,
-
how would pick fun dip?
-
Is that right? You would say? See them son in laws?
-
They don't know nothing. He had always remember, they just
-
stoopid and crazy as a loon. That goes well, well, well, well,
-
well okay, brother Jesse, what would you say sweeter? Which
-
you don't know? You have to w I sense a
-
divide at church house right here.
-
So in our company there's some indecision concerning which is sweeter.
-
Let's have a vote right in the middle of this summon.
-
Who thinks fundip is sweeter? Hey man, who thinks the
-
gummy covered in sugar sweeter? Well? Look, we are equally
-
divided right down the middle. I'll be pastor to both sides.
-
I'm for everybody's a winner. It may, I said, like
-
a lot of these preachers nowadays, I was afraid the
-
preacher gets sin. Hey, come on, we don't always serve
-
honey wafers around here, but you know what, they're heavenly wafers.
-
I want to get back to preaching a little bit
-
more right here.
-
But concerning the things of God, there is no discrepancy
-
in the description of which is sweeter.
-
Daven knew that God is sweeter than gold. Come now, and.
-
God's goodness is better than the honey dripping from the
-
honey cold.
-
Every time I've tasted of the goodness of God for
-
the time hysteric. It's been sweet.
-
Going to churches a sweet experience. But there can be
-
a sweeter experience.
-
In my house of God. I want you experience. I
-
want you to taste it. I want you to taste that.
-
See, it can't be.
-
Back, I said, up, it can't be sweeter here.
-
This honey in the rock for some people in this
-
building today, I want to believe there's honey in the
-
rock for eighty one of you.
-
Praise the Lord.
-
David desperately pleased with somebody to partake of the goodness
-
of God. David's best friend knew what it was to
-
taste to see. Do y'all remember when Jonathan did not
-
hear what his father saw told the troops of Israel.
-
Saul had charged the people with an oath, and Saul said,
-
do not partake.
-
Of any food for a certain period of time.
-
But as the troops marched on by the jest, said Jonathan,
-
one of the generals, he put forth the end of
-
the rod that was in his hand, and he dipped
-
it in the honeycomb and put his hand.
-
To his mouth, and the Bible said his eyes were enlightened.
-
Now I can get trouble right there, Brother Jeremiah always
-
receiving tests the mornings from people.
-
They say, mine, my eyes have been opened.
-
After hearing the messages you're posting of old and preachers
-
preaching there in South Florida. And I don't think every
-
pastor and preachers pleased with Brother Jeremiah's ministry because some
-
of their parishioners, some of their members are dipping their rod.
-
In the honey. And I won't try to behave, but
-
it's a crime shame.
-
For any leader keenley, priestly or whatever to prohibit somebody
-
that's fought in the battle for taste.
-
Of something sweet. It is my duty, as you.
-
Were a leader, or as your minister, as your example,
-
as you're a preacher, to come to this pulpit prepared,
-
not with raw oysters, not with a warmth. That's sermon
-
not suiting for the hip. It is my duty to
-
wrestle with God until I get a servant's pacific and
-
somebody can get the end of their rod in that honeycock.
-
Put their month and say.
-
My my ma, that was sueet. Put pressure on your
-
brother howl. That's okay, I can handle it.
-
You mean you're gonna have to do that every service,
-
every service, as long as our service pastor here. That
-
should never be a service where somebody walks out and
-
says I'm hungry. Spiritually speaking, God have mercy or so
-
called children of God who have to subject themselves to
-
leadership that would prevent them from eating and intoliging in
-
the sweet things of God.
-
This shouldn't. There's never a time it's.
-
The will of God for God's people to go more
-
than a handful of services without saining and explorer or
-
a manifestation of the Spirit of God, not according to
-
the Bible, not according to the real Jesus. A counterfeit
-
Jesus makes it permissible for there not to be a
-
moving of the Holy Ghost. And that counterfeit Jesus makes
-
regular appearances at the Baptist Church.
-
But the last I checked, he wasn't welcome.
-
The counterfeit Jesus was not welcome in the Upper Room,
-
and he was not welcome in the early churches, and.
-
He should not be welcome in our churches. There should
-
never be a.
-
Downturning of the service or a differnt of the service
-
or the manifestation and the movements of the Holy Ghost.
-
I'm getting in trouble right here.
-
There's always a point in some message where I get
-
in trouble. I need somebody to pray for me. It's
-
the pastor in me coming out. God's still vangelize and
-
I probably wouldn't say this stuff, but if a pastor
-
is not pastor, and he's in the wrong calling anyway,
-
but it's my duty to serve. And when I don't
-
have it, he nudges me at four o'clock in the
-
morning and says, I got.
-
It for you, sweet things right here this morning, for somebody.
-
It's mine. Can't nobody take it from me? It's mine.
-
Jonathan's eyes were enlightened. I see it now, I've tasted,
-
I've experienced it, and I see it. I realize it.
-
Before the days of David, another anointed leader of Israel, Sampson,
-
the Judge was attacked.
-
By a lion.
-
He walked along a certain path, Brother Justin Rodcap And
-
as he walked along that path, Sampson was attacked by
-
that lion, and not Judge of Israel easily ripped open.
-
The jaws of the lion with his bare hands. My
-
God in Heaven, y'all are hungry. In his Sunday morning,
-
I know this is a Sunday Night's message.
-
After a period of time, Samson, he took it another walk,
-
and he took a walk down the same path in
-
a different direction.
-
Though had it in a different direction he had been
-
heading north, He's hit it sound had been heading with east.
-
He's heading west.
-
As he passed back by the carcass of the lion,
-
it was decomposed, and sister of Wooting. As a Nazarite,
-
he wasn't supposed to go over there and observe or
-
touch that carcass. He wasn't supposed to observe or partake
-
her anything did right, But he heard a swarm.
-
Somebody helped me. Sweat bees. Come on, everybody, all crazy pentecostals. Woo.
-
I felt that too. Whoo. The only thing y'all needs
-
a handkerchief. It's not easier to obey God. Didn't you
-
thought either, every man, O my swept bees one more time.
-
Swat bees. That's how he beat did it in the
-
old church of God. Right, glory, it's making sense to
-
you now right. It's what bees that's fixing to.
-
Make a lot of sense to you.
-
And then he realizes there's a swarm down in that
-
old dead carcass in a time closer observation. Sweep Now,
-
my god, the busy bees have been working.
-
There's money in that carcass. There's honey in that service
-
for me. That rock is falling them, there's water in it, But.
-
There's honey in the rock for you today, my friend,
-
there's honey in the rock. My brother, there's honey in
-
the rocks for you and my sister. You won't be
-
in a decomposing situation. Ah got prebending any of my
-
closing sisters worldwide or in a decomposing chuck situation.
-
I don't want to take God.
-
To be sold, but however close I am the something.
-
This morning, upon closer observation, I can tell you there
-
is honey calling my full of honey in this place
-
for you. This morning, Bethel, in the midst of a
-
weakened in a cruel world, God has given us honeycold,
-
out of which flows sweet driffins.
-
Brother Jesse, when you've come to the piano, Brother Nathaniel,
-
would you come around to see my brother the judge
-
of Israel Sampson.
-
In Judges, chapter number fourteen and verse number fourteen, the
-
biblical writer recorded a riddle of Sampson, and he said,
-
out of the eater came forth meat, and out of
-
the strong came forth sweetness. I'm telling some right here
-
in this building today, as we're standing, I'm telling some
-
out of the bitter circumstances will come.
-
Forth much weakness. Out of the.
-
Bitter circumstances that your facing will come forth much sweetness. Samson,
-
by the anointing of the Holy Ghost, was able to
-
stop the eater. How many of you know the Bible said,
-
the devil walked about as a roaring lion, seeking whom
-
he made devour. One of the benefits of me making
-
a strategic move I made eighteen years ago is my
-
children are saved today.
-
I honestly believe had I not made the move, they would.
-
Not be saved today. My guess this two out of
-
six would be saved. Losing one's spiritually is too many?
-
Did that go over y'all's head? Y'all, y'all hungry and
-
Sunday morning, tired, Sampson, by the anorington, was able to
-
stop the eater, the devour. The devil as a lion
-
walketh about seeking whom he made devour. He's put a
-
target on our children's backs. And Samson, as the judge,
-
was able to stop the eater.
-
Y'all, do realize it matters who you're around. For the
-
children of Israel. It mattered in these days who was
-
their judge. For the children of Israel, in the days
-
