  2. all that he's done thus far. Amen, But he's gone.

  4. I can do in a lifetime. He've been thankful for

  5. this opportunity. Then we love and miss Our pastor has

  6. just been saying, Man, But I want to say it

  7. as well.

  8. Amen. I He've been loved, my pastor. I'm so thankful

  9. to this opportunity.

  10. And I don't take it lightly, Amen, but rather trying

  11. to tread softly.

  12. Heman. I was thinking on the way to church this morning.

  13. Some of you were probably most of you rather were

  14. familiar with the story of Moses when he went to

  15. get the Ten Commandments on lose somewhere around the twenty

  16. second chapter or thirty second chapter of Exodus maybe, and

  17. he come back and old Aaron had went a wall. Amen,

  18. he had done and went crazy and berserk. I mean,

  19. I'd hate to be Amen, the one that makes pastor

  20. had to come back and into a mess.

  21. Amen.

  22. I remember a story when I was young of a

  23. of a there was a dropping water level on a

  24. lake and they found a body and they had duck

  25. taped it up. And tied cinder blocks to it. And uh,

  26. they had sunk it with the cinder blocks down to

  27. the ground. And Amen, I was kind of chuckling, to

  28. be honest, that that scripture in the Bible that talks

  29. about if you'll offend the little one.

  30. It would be better if a mills and on Amen

  31. was wrapped around your neck.

  32. And I was just imagining maybe some church Amen got

  33. fed up in the.

  34. Church member and took the leord of God literally. Amen.

  35. That's not what happened then. But Uh, we don't want

  36. to offend anyone. They don't want to cause any problems. Amen.

  37. We're so thankful for the chance to be here. I

  38. want to say only what God has put on my heart.

  39. This morning.

  40. Let's turn the Second Chronicles, chapter number seven, Amen, and

  41. we'll we'll do some reading there.

  42. I've got a couple of places we'll.

  43. Be going throughout the sun this morning. If you keep

  44. your bibles handy, Amen, the word of God.

  45. Will the men be going through a couple places? Amen.

  46. Second Cromfles is our golden text this morning, chapter number seven,

  47. verse number twelve.

  48. Amen.

  49. And the Lord appeared to Solomon by night and said,

  50. unto him, I have heard thy prayer and have chosen

  51. this place to myself for a house of sacrifice.

  52. If I shut up.

  53. Heaven that there be no rain, or I command the

  54. locust to de valed land where if I send pestilence

  55. among my people, If my people, which are called by

  56. my name, shall hung with themselves and pray and seek

  57. my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will

  58. I hear from Heaven and will forgive their sin.

  59. And will heal their land. Amen, stress your hands toward him,

  60. and ask God to help us. Amen, this the Lord,

  61. the Lord, thy God here. Thank you for all that

  62. you over. I get your.

  63. Presence God that's come by Lord and made itself so

  64. real to us this morning.

  65. Lord, we asked that you would bless each woman that's.

  66. Here this morning. God, what's yournoying? Your serving God? I'm nothing, Lord,

  67. I'm less.

  68. Than a worder of God. I need your help.

  69. God, can't do anything without you. I'm knowing God, this vessel, Lord,

  70. that we may do what you have commissioned me to do. God,

  71. bless those Lord that are here, God, and help us

  72. in the altars.

  73. God, for your glory of your honor.

  74. We pray and thank you for it in Jesus Holy Name.

  75. Praise God, Amen and amen well loud.

  76. Now in our.

  77. Golden text here the Second Book of Characles, it is.

  78. It is found in the Old Testament.

  79. These were writings Amen, that would be a man predating Amen,

  80. the physical arrival of Jesus Christ, an immortal body here

  81. on earth. Amen, to tell you men to lay his

  82. life down as a sacrifice. And there's Amen, treasures found

  83. Amen in the Old Testament. A lot of people try

  84. to write it off and Amen, but the Bible said,

  85. it's all profitable.

  86. Amen for a doctrine, and so a man, I want

  87. us to kind of look here and amen and see Amen,

  88. a conversation between God and man and man. Y'all believe

  89. God still talks to individuals.

  90. Amen.

  91. God is still talking to people. He hasn't quit.

  92. Amen.

  93. The problem is people with quit listening.

  94. Amen.

  95. So here Amen, I'm thinking for those that have gathered

  96. this morning to hear the words of God and man.

  97. In the chapter before a Man, they kind of lay

  98. a foundation because I feel for where we're going, this

  99. is necessary. In the chapter before our text, Solomon has

  100. just finished building the temple. Amen. David and his father

  101. before him had spent a lifetime laying up treasures.

  102. Amen, that Solomon would have what he needed. And then

  103. Solomon Amen, also.

  104. Amen with labor, Amen to build Amen, that which God

  105. had not let David build.

  106. Amen. So Solomon finishes the temple in there.

  107. Amen, they're at the dedication service, so to speak, the

  108. first service here at the temple. And the wise king Solomon,

  109. he comes to the temple, and the Bible said, he

  110. goes and he kneels down and stretches his hands toward Heaven,

  111. and it begins to pray, and he prays a beautiful prayer.

  112. And then you can find that Amen in chapter number six,

  113. verse fourteen, Amen. Through the end of that chapter. Actually,

  114. where Amen. Chapter seven picks up, Amen, is the ending

  115. of Solomon's prayer.

  116. Amen.

  117. So from verse fourteen to verse forty two. Amen, he

  118. praised this beautiful prayer and then it was a heartfelt prayer.

  119. And I'll be honest, it's one of my favorite prayers

  120. to read in the Bible. I love reading the prayer

  121. of Solomon. As he began to petition and request God. Amen,

  122. and he saw Amen, God here in this in these verses,

  123. and Amen, God heard his prayer and.

  124. We saw Amen.

  125. In verse and verse number one of Chapter seven, the

  126. Bible talks to that when Solomon and made it into praying,

  127. fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt off things.

  128. Amen.

  129. The priest Amen couldn't even enter the house of God

  130. or the glory of God. And the people begin to

  131. fall down on their faces and worship the Lord and

  132. talk about how his mercy is in doing forever and

  133. how good he is and been because of the display

  134. of God.

  135. Amen is showing a man he heard his prayer.

  136. Now a little bit I want to talk about here

  137. in a minute, he is Amen.

  138. God can hear your prayer. Amen.

  139. But God sometimes Amen doesn't answer Amen of prayer.

  140. Amen.

  141. And so here, just as God has said and given

  142. you a sign that I have heard, Amen, doesn't mean Amen.

  143. He has said, yes, I'll answer that because the truth

  144. is Amen. The desires of man's heart can be deceitful,

  145. and sometimes we can ask things amiss.

  146. And God hears all those prayers.

  147. Amen.

  148. But God doesn't always answer even all of those prayers.

  149. But here heart failt prayer, Solomon begins. Theymen seek the Lord, Amen,

  150. ask these things. And in our text Amen, however, is

  151. an answer Amen, from God to Solomon's prayer. And Solomon prayed,

  152. and he made his petition to God in a time

  153. of ease and prosperity, a time when Amen, the nation

  154. of Israel was flourishing and God was blessing him.

  155. Amen.

  156. And as he began to speak, it was nois he

  157. was under the mantle of Aimen the sommist, and his

  158. petition Amen, was such an exquizing Amen.

  159. Praise God, orientation of man. Amen.

  160. And we know Solomon, the Bible said, was Amen, what's

  161. going to be the wisest man? And truly Amen, as

  162. you see a forward thinking king Amen. In those verses,

  163. he begins to think of what could happen and what

  164. will happen. And the Bible Amen, Amen is a text

  165. book for us to learn from. If we're Amen, wise,

  166. we will heat instructure.

  167. And no doubt all of it.

  168. Had seen how others had done it. He knew the

  169. past of issue, Amen, and how they often would start

  170. out good, and God would bless him and they would flourish.

  171. Amen.

  172. And God would begin to add under the om. At

  173. the end of the time. A man of neglig answer Amen.

  174. A time of turning away from God. Brother began to

  175. reset them. They been the scene there and they would

  176. fall back, came into idolatry and sin and prove that

  177. God would no.

  178. Longer bless and prosper the other.

  179. An then they would have to realize they need God

  180. and run across him.

  181. The forest was God. They could run across them flew

  182. as the just saying was God.

  183. It wasn't there all streak and a fill of kingdom.

  184. It wasn't there all streaking in the masked wath. It

  185. wasn't there all street Aman that had given.

  186. Them priac in the land. But he was a God

  187. that cared next tear this morning.

  188. There's a God that cares about you and your situations,

  189. about you and what you're going through. All God, and

  190. we would realize the word God must pray and been

  191. in our lives.

  192. Mattylujah.

  193. The title God had given me for this and it Man,

  194. I'm bad about getting going and forgetting to give you

  195. a title.

  196. Amen, I feel like I am.

  197. I don't know what my tractor says, Amember what God

  198. had given me? Well, stipulations for the uncertain season, and

  199. then stipulations for the uncertain season, Amen and James, chapter

  200. number one, and then we we have Amen, God talking

  201. to people.

  203. He says, knowing this that the trying of your faith

  204. work his pa work with patience. Amen, praise God in

  205. the here. Amen, the being of is Israel against to

  206. petition God at the time of ease for those Amen,

  207. that would end up in uncertain times and mean uncertain

  208. times can be unsettled.

  209. Amen.

  210. When when you're i'm a i'm a, I can be

  211. a creature of habit and some things and.

  221. Gets turned upside down and we enter an uncertain season

  222. of where do I go from here?

  223. And what am I to do? Amen?

  224. And here James was telling us, Amen, the trying of

  225. your faith.

  226. Now what is faith? You're hoping for something? Amen? So

  227. James is.

  228. Saying, when you're left in a situation where you're looking

  229. forward and saying, oh God, and I could get there.

  230. Amen. If you're if you lift in a situation, would think, oh,

  231. they man, I don't know what's coming. That can work.

  232. Patience that can.

  233. Produce in your life. They been patience to wait on God.

  234. When you're in the uncertain season. They bet there are stipulations.

  235. You must meet them.

  236. And one of those patients to wait on daughter and

  237. his meal.

  238. Because man has a amen a terrible terrible habits.

  239. They mean, I'm doing it.

  240. There.

  241. Hey, they met a fulfilling.

  242. There we are.

  243. They met him their desires, and they never asked God.

  244. Then one way go from here? They never stopping the

  245. uncertain season. And I thought, high, don't prayer that fasting.

  246. God had submission to God, and say, Lord, you brought

  247. me there? They matter Now I'm no longer there. I

  248. mean an uncertain season.

  249. One is my past fair?

  250. And what is your desire for me as your child?

  251. And then where do I go from here?

  252. Oh?

  253. God?

  254. Now the Bible says it.

  255. It been the weird budd a few days and full

  256. of trouble in another place.

  257. In one Peter Amen, chapter number.

  258. Four and verse number twelve, he talked about thinking and

  259. not strange when you fall into these things. They been

  260. when you're testing and your child tried it been a friend.

  261. Amen. As long as you run this earth.

  262. Amen, you will go through seasons, as long as you're

  263. on this earth, and then you will go Amen, from

  264. strength to strength.

  265. Amen. You will be renewed. Amen. An on sure footing. Amen.

  266. And then maybe next year Amen, you lose something that

  267. gave you that stability in your life.

  268. Amen.

  269. And God can give amen in a time of uncertainty.

  270. Amen.

  271. To listen to him, Amen, and to yield to him.

  272. Amen.

  273. Now he made a request to God that would take

  274. up the case Amen, of those that have senned against.

  275. Amen, their neighbor.

  276. Amen. He prayed for a nation that was being punished.

  277. I want to get somewhere this morning, y'all bear with me.

  278. He prayed for a time when God would stop up

  279. the heavens and man. He prayed for a nation and

  280. a people being bombarded by sickness and disease.

  281. And in verse number twenty six, I need to.

  282. Read this so we build and lay a foundation here

  283. And verse number twenty six when the heavens Amen. Of

  284. chapter six, when the heavens is shut up and there

  285. is no rain the cause they have senned against thee.

  286. Yet if they prayed towards this place, and confess thy

  287. name and turn from their sin. When thou dost afflict them,

  288. then hear from heaven and forgive the sin of thy

  289. servants and of thy people Israel. When thou hast taught

  290. him the good way.

  291. Amen.

  292. So there's a lesson to be learned. They may sometimes

  293. on the uncertain season. And then when thou hast taught

  294. them the good way, wherein they should walk and sin

  295. rain upon the earth. And then which thou hast given

  296. to thy people for an inheritance.

  297. Amen. So here Amen, he prayed.

  298. Amen, he establishes this and man that they would pray

  299. to warrant a place.

  300. Amen. And in my study Amen, I didn't give.

  301. A commentary or a book Amen, or a study Bible

  302. that God opened my eyes to.

  303. Amen. A place in the Word of God that we

  304. will get to. Amen.

  305. And I want you to remember verse number twenty six. Amen,

  306. and specifically prayed toward this place.

  307. Amen.

  308. The uncertain season Amen, will often try you. And then

  309. now the Bible clearly states it it's gonna.

  310. Reign on the just, and it's gonna reign they meant

  311. the unjust. Amen. So sometimes Amen. Amen.

  312. The trial Amen, doesn't mean you forsaken God. And then

  313. other times it is the corrective hand of God and

  314. men that will discipline you and joy to bringing you

  315. back to Him the member. Those that are justified in

  316. His side have been through the washing of the blood

  317. of Jesus Christ. And men will experience trials and then

  318. will experience troubles, even even.

  319. Though living for God.

  320. And then in this present world may matter if they've

  321. been born, and then they maybe been a.

  322. Few days old and they're gonna have some problems.

  323. They be in a truly uncertain time, will come about

  324. all of us, and meant some of us as Elijah.

  325. They men, a righteous man will suffer through the judgments

  326. of God on a nation. And then now Elijah at

  327. the end, they meant a prophet, he been a man

  328. of God. It mean he lipoli, he had it presenting

  329. God for bail, and then worshiped other gods.

  330. But we find they meant a lie us there a

  331. lesser they been living by a brook and living.

  332. Off a handful of meal, because the nation of Israel

  333. beating by this solt, and sometimes we lived through things.

  334. And then here in America, because God is trying to

  335. chase in a nation that's for shock him and no.

  336. Longer thinks about him. And we want to lose their

  337. childs because God.

  338. Chasing Inca America, and it puts them in on certain seasons.

  339. But he must know on whom you call. It's not

  340. on alcave, it's not on pools downs, it's.

  341. On a strong rider of God.

  342. But that woman puts you in a certain season, heres

  343. a strain you through at certain times. There will be times,

  344. as Joe, we are tested and God allows our heads

  345. to be dropped.

  346. Amen.

  347. Now Joe was tested in many areas. He was tested

  348. in his finances. He was tested by his offspring. Amen,

  349. and God took his children. Well, God allow his children

  350. to be taken. Let me rephrase that the Bible said

  351. and then plainly that the Lord doesn't tempt any man.

  352. And then God allowed his children, his offspring, that man

  353. to be taken. And man will be sometimes tested, Amen,

  354. by our companions. Amen, that's gonna be unpopular preaching, Amen,

  355. Job Amen was tested even by his wife that sold me. Amen,

  356. that soul mat Amen, that helped meet Amen. And he

  357. when he experienced a little bit, and I know they

  358. had a lot going on, and I'm not condemning miss

  359. Job and man she Amen was going through.

  360. An awful lot to have lost to all the children. Amen.

  361. But the problem was look at job and look at

  362. miss Job. They man, both were in an uncertain season.

  363. A man in one Amen faltered and Man, I'm encouraging you,

  364. not beating anyone with the head this morning. I would

  365. like to encourage you that even in the uncertain season,

  366. if you follow the stipulations that God has given you

  367. and man, he will bring you out the other side.

  368. Amen. He will prosper you Amen and make you amen.

  369. Amen.

  370. Steadfast took him Amen.

  371. So he was tested in his finances, his offspring, his companions.

  372. Amen.

  373. In overall he was even tested in his friendship. I mean,

  374. if miscaused an uncertain season in his life, Amen.

  375. Paul would have been a man of a means, Amen.

  376. Apostle Paul Amen was a man that was Amen in

  377. the inner circle of the Amen, the Pharisees, and theyven

  378. no doubt and been with that comes from prosperity and

  379. member for God. He lost it all.

  380. Amen.

  381. So you're telling me this morning that they've been following

  382. God and put you in uncertain times. Guess that's what

  383. I'm telling you amen, but God will never amen.

  384. Let his children they ben go with our food and

  385. men eat. And David said you, I was shown, and

  386. now I'm old.

  387. But I've never seen the righteous forsaken up a man

  388. that was thrown out on his head and chased him,

  389. and my soul have been trying to kill him.

  390. Would say, I'd never they been through all the uncertainties

  391. and been through caves to caves. They been times when

  392. I was thirsty, Amen, and I beg for water from

  393. a whale them, and I never saw God let me down.

  394. I was in uncertain times in the Valley of El

  395. and I faced the Giina. I was in uns There

  396. are in times they've been standing with Jonathan commuting about.

  397. I would know it.

  398. Saul was still lacking me. They've been alive, break God,

  399. and then he said, I've never been been abandon.

  400. Let me get somewhere.

  401. Amen.

  402. Philippians turn with me. There, Philippians praise God. And we're

  403. gonna need to read.

  404. The latter half of that.

  405. Philippians for in eleven. Now, I thought I was gonna

  406. be short this morning. I'm trying to hurry.

  407. Amen. Philippians four and eleven.

  408. Rive learned the man the ladder half there i' learned

  409. in whatsoever state I am therewith to be content, Oh God,

  410. So you must sometimes have patience to wait on God,

  411. and you must have contentment. You must be a satisfied individual.

  412. But even in the uncertain times, God will see these,

  413. or even in the uncertain season, you must maintain your contentment.

  414. Now, uncertain means.

  415. Not known beyond doubt, not having certain knowledge a man

  416. the mortal. When all of us amen, a man can

  417. give place to doubt really quick. It can be a

  418. small little seed of doubt that grows into a bas tree.

  419. I remember.

  420. All it takes is that, Amen. All it takes is

  421. that knowing a man not knowing beyond doubt, and then

  422. just that little bit of falcon again in the uncertain season,

  423. to make you question.

  424. Now, content is the state of being satisfied.

  425. Or at peace with one circumstances, whether good or bad,

  426. whether good or bad. Friend, we're trusting in the God

  427. that is well able to keep us even in the

  428. uncertain season. Oh God, I feel the presence of the

  429. Lord this morning. Apostle Paul found peace in uncertain circumstances.

  430. If we were to stop.

  431. Right now, had been a reminisce to all that Apostle

  432. Paul went through. You couldn't tell me he didn't have

  433. a life filled with uncertain circumstances.

  434. Amen.

  435. For he suffered, Amen, for a ship wrecks. I believe

  436. it was in his lifetime. And when he was jailed,

  437. he said he was beaten off DayMen, he was beaten.

  438. He was stone to the point. And man, they thought

  439. he was dead, and they left him. And this was

  440. a man that lives. And then in the uncertain Amen.

  441. And he would tell you this morning, and then whether

  442. I'm a man crawling out of a power of rocks

  443. and they've just stoned me to the point they thought

  444. I was dead. I looked dead, I mean her eyes floating, Amen,

  445. on the ocean, and have been wrecked, He would tell you, Amen,

  446. whatever state I am, there we are.

  447. Amen. I'm gonna be content.

  448. Amen.

  449. So just for context, there a man, I don't know

  450. where you're at in life. I don't know the troubles

  451. perplexing you, Amen, but I know you can be content.

  452. I didn't crawl out from rocks this morning, Amen.

  453. And I haven't been jailed for the cause of Christ

  454. and for proclaiming Jesus and when my uncertain circumstances sometimes

  455. will pale if in reality we think about Amen, those

  456. that God has already brought through.

  457. Amen.

  458. Now our text gives us, and I wanna think about this.

  459. Our text gives us some stipulations on the return of

  460. the blessings of God.

  461. God gave Solomon a sign he had.

  462. Hurt him, but he had not given him a promise

  463. he would fulfill his request. And Solomon goes to bed

  464. that night, Amen, as he had done previously. You know,

  465. God talks to individuals Amen, sometimes in specific ways. A

  466. man we see, Amen, the apostle Peter, Amen.

  467. And the cock grow thrice and he denied he Amen.

  468. And then later on Jesus would ask him three times, Amen, Peter,

  469. love us down me, and then later on Amen. In

  470. the Bible, when the unclean animals would descend, God will

  471. speak to him.

  472. Aymen again in threes and men and God.

  473. Amen will speak to us sometimes Amen, in a kind

  474. of a pattern. And so Stalin and goes to that

  475. that night has a very special visitor.

  476. Amen. Make a return visits.

  477. Oh, I love when God makes a return visit, even every.

  478. Wednesday and Sunday.

  479. He never fails to come by and so this very

  480. special visitor makes his a return visit, and God talks

  481. with Solomon and gives him an answer to his prayer.

  482. Amen. In verse number twelve. Amen.

  483. There the Bible tells us, and the Lord appeared to

  484. Solomon by night, to him, I've heard that prayer and

  485. chosen this place for myself on house of Sacrifice.

  486. Amen.

  487. So amen.

  488. He goes on to talk about in verse number thirteen,

  489. if I shut up the heavens that there be no rain,

  490. or I command the locust to de bower of the land,

  491. or if I.

  492. Send pestilence among my people. Amen.

  493. So now he's called out specific things that Solomon prayed for,

  494. and he's giving him an answer. He's saying, now, if

  495. I were amen, or if I do do these things? Amen,

  496. Birks number fourteen is the answer Amen. So Solomon the

  497. perspective here, Solomon made a request Amen. He didn't have

  498. the stipulations. All he said was, Lord, if you do this,

  499. would you do this?

  500. Amen? If you did send locust, would you spare us?

  501. And then God.

  502. Sets stipulations to say, well, if I'm going to then

  503. you have to do this.

  504. Amen.

  505. So here amen are God begins to commune with him.

  506. And he says, if I were to do this, a

  507. man if my people, And then the verse number fourteen

  508. the stipulations, Okay, if my people, which are called by

  509. mind name, Amen, shall humble themselves and pray and seek

  510. my face and turn from their wicked ways. So four

  511. stipulations contained in this one verse. Amen, as God spoke

  512. a man here to a king that had made a

  513. request for its people.

  514. Now these ring true here in our lives today.

  515. And then if he stops up the flow of our prosperity.

  516. And then if I, amen, shut up the heavens. Now

  517. without the heavens or crofts would not flourish.

  518. Amen, as in as in the days of aHALF, their

  519. animals would die, and Amen, they would live. Amen, in

  520. uncertain times where they wonder, they.

  521. Man, would I eat today? Would I get something in

  522. the drink today?

  523. They may so if he stops up the flow of

  524. your prosperity, and then you may have to meet the

  525. stipulations found Amen in our chapter.

  526. Here, our golden text.

  527. If he causes your surplus and your increase to beat devowered.

  528. Also representing the enemy that would.

  529. Greedily devourer, they men homes and lambs and leave behind

  530. bearn and burned them in places for people to try

  531. to rebuild him.

  532. If God were to.

  533. Have to do that to get your attention, if he

  534. was to have to stop over amen your prosperity to

  535. make you consider in the world, to have to amen

  536. Caesar to bless you and take away your increase if

  537. you depend on wealth and the riches, and then oh

  538. are you depend on chop security? If God was to

  539. have to stop it to make you con he known

  540. to take Lord, what do I need to do?

  541. They meant to be yearing to you the ben friend,

  564. Amen, let's move on there. Amen, Praise God.

  565. The stipulations for a recovery you're found there in verse

  566. number fourteen. Now there are unrecoverable illnesses and sicknesses that

  567. can take over a body, and people can begin to

  568. struggle and fight.

  569. Amen. And we've heard, Amen, the words.

  570. Of a doctor repeating, I'm sure we all have where

  601. a very uncertain time, man, because the king would have

  602. to root out all those that he felt were lord
