There’s Bacteria In Backwash - Bro Jeremy Howell 10-20-2024

Hey, there is bacteria in backwash. There is bacteria in backwash.

It's good to see you all in the house of

the Lord. Let's turn to the Book of Hebrews. Man,

direct your attention to the thirteenth chapter, and we'll be

reading verses number eight and nine here momentarily, Brother Nathaniel

Galatians chapter number two and verse number eighteen. Brother jesse Galatians,

Chapter number four, Versus number eight through eleven.

It's good to see everybody here, all of our visitors,

each one.

We appreciate the teaching of the Sunday school teachers each

and every Sunday morning.

May God bless that ministry more and more. Thank you,

teachers for your burden for God's people. Thank you for

working in your church.

Family. We thank you for that.

Brother Nathaniel, Galatians, chapter number two, Verse number eighteen.

Listen carefully of love it for if I.

Build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself transgressive.

So if I build the things that I once destroyed,

I make myself a Transgressor do.

You believe that those are the words of the great

Apostle Paul. Let's hear further for the jesse Galatians chapter

number four Versus number eight through eleven.

Howbeit, then when ye knew not God, you did service

unto them, which by nature are no gods. But now

after that you have known God, or rather are known

of God. I'll turn you again through the week in

beggarly elements, where unto you desire again to be in

bondage you observed days and months in times of years.

I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon

you labor in vain.

Is it that sad?

So sad that the great Apostle Paul would have to

preach such a thing to those people. He had worked

so hard to establish that church there, and he set

them forth in the currents of the river of Grace,

only to find out that they were not flowing like

they should have been.

They were called up in the backwash.

I feel burden this morning to preach to some how

many of you know we should have but one goal.

That is making Heaven our home.

I have but one goal in this life, and that

is to make it to Heaven. I want to hear

the Lord say, well done, thou good and faithful servant.

I want to encourage the faithful this morning to continue

in your faithfulness, because there are many voices in the world.

That's what the Word of God says.

There's many spirits speaking within this world. They speak through

all sorts of mediums. They influence people.

How many of you know there is a fascination in

this world with influencers.

Social media influencers are the fascination of this era, this age.

I'm telling you, it's amazing to me how they have

captivated the audience's worldwide. I don't understand that there must

be a spirit about it, but so many people are

being distracted and they have been diverted.

If I want to talk to you a.

Little bit about the bacteria of backwash, let's stand for

the reading of our text Hebrews, chapter number thirteen, Versus

number eight nine. The Bible says, be not carried about

with diverse and strange doctrines, for it is a good

thing that the heart be established.

With grace, not with meats which have not profited them

that have been occupied thereon.

Let's back up one verse.

Jesus Christ the same yesterday and today and forever. May

we pray, Heavenly Father, we thank you for the opportunity

to be in your house this morning.

I thank you for this thy people. I thank you

Lord that they have a desire to be in your house.

They could have been in so many different places, but

they've gathered here.

I pray that you would bless them.

Lord, Set of God at their ear and help them

to ear what the spirit of God says or to

the church this morning. Set of guard in my mouth

that helped me to say the things that you would

have you to say, nothing more or less. I need

you so desperately, God, I pray that we would received

these sayings down into our soul and our spirit. Lord,

don't let them just go in one ear and out

the other world and twirl around in that.

Mine and exit.

I pray that they would saturate our spirits and our being.

What the Spirit of God is saying.

Individuals in this building this morning, may we be hearers,

and also may we heed. We give you the praise, honor,

the glory, and help us to depart this place joyfully

in Jesus' name. And the Church said, look at your

neighbor and say, hey, neighbor, do you let your child

drink after you? Do you drink after your child? I

want to ask you that question. Do you drink after

your child.

I do not. I never have, I never will because.

I've always been a little bit concerned about backwash. And

the Church said, amen, well, I can tell there's some

of you, and you locked backwis I don't all right?

Our text is found in a New Testament book of

the Holy Bible.

It is found in the Book of Hebrews.

This book is one of many books that constitute the

Holy Bible. How many of you are thankful for your

copy of the King James Translation. A lot of people

refer to other translations or reversions of the Bible as perversions.

I do appreciate my copy of the King James Translation.

For the English speaking people, I do feel like that

particular manuscript has been very successful in the hands of

believers throughout the centuries, leading them to many spiritual victories.

There is no doubt that the.

Americas must testify that with this sacred book in hand,

specifically the King James Translation, many revivals have been birthed

on our continent.

Isn't that wonderful?

So I'm thankful to beholding such a valuable resource.

In my head.

The Divine Library constituted of sixty six sacred books and

as I read through.

This Holy Book.

I came to this particular book of the Bible, and

Brother Jesse, it seemed to have apprehended my mind. And

Sister Woodmas, I got into this thirteenth chapter and begin

reading from verse number one through verse number nine.

I had to back up and reread it.

It broke my heart to think that the great Apostle Paul,

who testify that he carried upon himself a burden that

was so great that only Jesus could help him carry them.

You know, the charge of the Lord is to bear

our brother's birthdays.

That's how we fulfill the long Christ. You remember that

came the first son of father Adam and mother Eve.

He struggled with the concept of I must help my

brother and I must be my brother's keeper, and so

to fulfill the law.

We are a burden bearer.

We help our brothers and sisters, people of load precious faith.

Also within this church of numerous outreach ministries, and we

help our brothers and sisters, the children of Adam and

Eve on a weekly fasis, trying to lighten their load

a little bit.

So this man that is carrying the load of the.

Early Church, he's its founder if you would, along with

other Apostolic Brethren, men that have been commissioned to birth

this church in its embryotic stages, and it's very infancy.

He finds out there's some people that want to abort him.

There are people that want to come in and abolish it.

How many of you know that Lucifer is not at

all pleased this morning with the fact that you are

in a Bible thumping, Bible believe in church. He's married

disappointed with that. In fact, he will do everything within

his power to distract you from the purpose of coming

to the House of God.

As Brother Jesse said, from coming to.

That special place where you meet with God and Brother Nathaniel,

you think about this man that's carrying such a murden

for people, and you would think, even with God honoring

his labor, even God blessing the labor and.

The way the church is thriving.

And growing, that there would be no problem within it,

that there would be no cancer surfacing, that there would

be no messengers or little birds would call them bringing

him word.

And over there Thatch.

Local congregation where all of those Jewish believers are gathered,

there are evil influencers coming into the congregation attempting to

revert them back to Junaism. Those of you that know

a little bit about Junaism. They believed in the Lord God.

They believed in Jehovah Jarah. They believed they were Israelites.

They were supposed to be God's precious people, especially chosen

descendants of Abraham.

They were keepers of the law.

The very people that were recipients of the Law of

Moses at one time had been considered the specially chosen

people of God. But you know, brother Nathaniel, these people

were to go on unto perfection.

When Jesus came, he did not do away with the law.

He didn't want it up as though it was a

piece of trash and discard, and he brought it up

to the full and he let them know, there will

be no.

More need for ceremonial law.

You will not have to find the fulfillment of salvation

and deliverance through the sacrificial law. You won't have to

observe certain parts of the law, specifically the ceremonial law.

And said, these people voked out of Judaism unto perfection.

They went into salvation, they went into sanctification, they went

into the holiness baptism, and they were on the fire

with God, if you want. God had set them forth

in a spiritual canoe.

Own the river of Grace. But some of them did

not put.

Enough distance between them and the people that had influenced

them previously.

They did not.

Move along with grace the way that God intended.

The scriptures are clear that we are to grow in

grace and.

In the knowledge of the Lord and the Savior Jesus Christ,

or this man.

That was so greatly burden.

He begins to realize that teachers, rabbis, cribs, and parses

as anteuses had sent forth influencers that would penetrate this

precious little assembling of Christians, people that mimic and parented

the lifestyle of Jesus. And he realizes they're not being

unsuccessful in their attempt to distract and destroy Christians in

this particular region. So the apostle Paul, he pulls his

chair up to his desk, and he puts pen to parchment,

and he pinned to the hebrew people these words that

we've pined in the Book of Hebrews. Would is say,

a man, I believe not only is this for the

Jewish believer.

It is also good for the gent top believer.

And we're gonna pine some trues relevant to us today.

You see, it is clear to see.

That something within that local church were being distracted for

their purpose in life. And now in the some of

them had denied Jesus, some pampling. Something happened, something took

place that caused them to.

Turn their backs of old Jesus. I do not believe

that happened over.

Nine How many of you know that backsliding in heart

is a gradual process. Slowly but surely you gradually wear away.

And Brother Jesse, I.

Believe it began when evil influencers and fatal distractions, also

just the natural tendency of the busy man for sake

the sebling of yourself together in the house of the Lord.

You will remember the apostle Pon address some rather at

one particular time, and he cautions them and warn them

against not going to church, because he knew when you

do not have the influence of the believers in your life,

and when you do not have a positive influencer, a

ministry and a minister in your life, you will begin

to fall away. If you want to drift away and

when as.

You drift away, you'll find yourself.

In the low port of back wash. If you go

and grace, you just move right on along.

Or yes, you be concerned about it, fearing to the

letter to the right.

Oh, yes, there'd be sendin Pitt Pauser along the river

of Graca, that there would never be a concern of

back washer. Some of you don't understand her who I'm

talking about. You know, sometimes whatever a homeowner wills to

clear their filter and their pool system, they will reverse

the flow of the water and they will pull that

water and reverse the fashion called back floor, which is

also the back lasser that filter and that pool system.

You see, the closer you stay to your experience in God,

the more dangerous it is for you to be caught

out put in backflow. You see, those that have been

saved not to pursue sanctification, and those that are sacti pad.

Are to pursue the Holy desk baptism.

You see, it probably would have been good for some

of these people to skiff our certain teachers stuff that

once influencer and instructed them.

But no, people came in and we fire.

These believers have coming to a place where their conscience

is seared, and as it's a hot.

Iron seer, there we find their hearts.

Being heard in it because of disbeliever, certain fatal destructions

and certain fatal attractions that's causing him to lose him

out with God, the author of this book of the Bible.

I believe he's the Apostle Paul and I believe brother

Jesse that he was morning has he paying these words

as he put pin in the punch in there his

heart was brevened.

And this morning it breaks my heart to.

Look out at the congregation of any believers in the

thank that God dealt with me yesterday about somebody backing

up and somebody being called in the bacteria a back washer.

Have any of you in this field and know that

you have to make it to heaven. There's no other alternative.

You see, if you miss Heaven, if you miss that marker,

you'll make it to hell.

You see the Apostle Paula.

At some point he compared these people to the Israeliza

there different older this years.

He compared them to east All who for one muscle

of spread and a little super sold his first ride.

And these members of this church had come to a

place as you and I have where they were enduring

the hardship and sufferinger that for some reason, rather than marching.

On them and going in the floor of the river

of Gracia.

We've find them backing up there and being caught in

the back washes of life.

You see, they were reverting Bacca to Judas, and that's

what we see today.

So many people are reverting baka to former denominations and

former religions, former habits and former hobbies and distracting.

Them from going to the House of of God and

leading a productive and approutal life in the Lord.

Why didn't these people keep up the reward of heaven

at the forefront of their mind? Because of you could

be easily distracted. Now he can go back to the

beginning of time and look at Mother Evil and find

out just how easy mankind, that womankind can be distracted her.

It was because of certain distractions of these Christians were

reverting baka to ju dayism. I want to ask you

this morning, and what is it in your life that's

coming on in your mind that's bringing a returning baka

onto those states of yesterday and yesteryear.

Imagine with me picture.

Of the imagery a Christian man and a Christian woman.

People like you people the rut shot of that about

going a church in former Danza out they are not

feeling so happy about going to church. And people that

had been black Roster had radically transformed. Why they're even

read by the how to use as christer losing a

taste of her and the knowing and saul that he

was doing wos in long colt Or the present has

but seeing they find them supper now it's slaved to

their pastor, they find them supper, wondered her. In the

wilderness of of what actually Russia, miserader, you see.

The devil man. He has an ability to tell us

some about Pastor in a way that wouldn't make us

want to go there. And I want you to know

they use for myself should.

Have college about what happened in the wilderness and these

people they shouldn't thought her about the sacrificial lamps, the

sacrificial coature, the bullets and the dancer. Then they should

have realized her. Why would I tear her from Jesus

to a good time? Why would I tell her from.

The thing till the dune and call from the alcohol.

Why would I tell that from church for to a ball?

Then why would I tear that from.

Life un to death?

The question is why I already never knew the answer

the why the hell turned back?

Then I wouldn't gonna understand why he never turn back there.

But I, for me, I must not turn that.

It's so easy on Sunday morning to say, you know what,

it's gonna take an act of God to get me

out of bed.

It's gonna take an act of God to get me

to go to church, because any and everything.

That can happen will happen. You see, We're gonna put

nothing between us and our God. Sister, how when I

think of people were deciding to revert back to animal sacrifice,

I shudder at the thought of it, Brother Caleb. Would

I think of Eve turning away from the fellowships with

the Lord onto a serpent in a tree?

I shudder?

I have to think of it when I think of

all of these things that people have turned to away

from the Church. To me, I know that our founding

fathers would turn over in their graves if they.

Could see the spiritual condition and the privity of this country.

What we need are few good men and a few

good women to make a priority again of going to the.

House of God and getting it an altar of prayer

and getting consecrated and.

The murder and committed to the things of God. Then

and only then, when only see a healing in our land,

Then and old be there.

When we see revival breakport in America and we can

get in that.

River of revival and that river of Gracia.

You see, as these people walked out of the church

that went back home to animal sacrifice, they were sending

a signal to everyone around the worl that chrisser sacrificer

was not sufficient. And you know what will happen if

brother Howell, what's the Jesus really than to go in

the church on Sunday morning.

I wanted to go to the battle game.

I wanted to go to the beer jarge. I wanted

to go to the movie house. Really go into God's house.

I will seeing now the signal to this world and

is b it's not sufficient and its prayers try, it's

not sufficient. I cannot make it without feeling the prayerss

of God. I cannot make it. Beout resting her her

Sunday in the presentent a Lord.

God amaze half ended Jesus must have been, was Apostle

Paul to not the burden of the Lord?

How can this be happening? How in the world after

they knelt.

Down in an altar of prayer with their burdens, and

as they left him there and walked away after that,

how can they turn again to things that never brought victory,

things that never brought.

Satisfaction, and things that never brought fulfillment.

I don't know about y'all, but thirty one years ago,

when I went into that little country church and set

on the back pee, I was looking for something that satisfied.

And I'll say this, the things of this world they

did not satisfy.

As been a letterman, athlete, as been someone that did

good in school, as been someone that didn't have an

enemy in the world. Somehow those steel I was miserable.

The things of this world they did not satisfy.

And I want you to know.

The blood, the bulls and goats and rams and doves,

it never did satisfied.

Oh come, I said, it never did satisfy. The anger

of Karda. It never did call the wrath of Karda.

What a peace the lord of the things that appalled

him was when his precious son climbed up on that

crosser and he gave us life, and every answer of

that top blood tripped.

Down his body and down that crosser. That come on, now,

I'm telling you that thing that you feel like, well

satisfy you.

It will never satisfied. That I said, it will never

satisfy it.

You fake alcohol, were satisfied. You can't trumping this away.

We're satisfied.

You ain't this and now we're satisfied. And they never

never satisfied. How did they think how to feel in

liberty and freedom and Jesus that they needed to go

back to a place where they participated in animal sacrifice.

When they reverted back to animal sacrifices, they were saying

the blood of animals was enough to atone for the

sins of humanity.

Most people have a problem when they're thinking. Most people

have a problem with they're thinking. When you think about

all of the religions of the world.

A lot of the world's population, the Earth's population anyway,

shoving something billion people.

I mean, they're desperately religious.

They kneel down before idols, they commit idolatry, brother Jesse.

They'll worship wooden adols, they'll worship raisen images, they'll worship this,

and they worshiped that. And what's so sad is they're

so distracted by those people that have put those olives

before them. They're so dangerously diverted and dangerously distracting that

they just go on following blind leaders and they end

up because of their distractions in the ditcher. I want

you to know there's a problem with a human mind.

There's a problem with our thinking.

We feel like we have have been educated in the

schools of higher learning.

But when you see the things people bow to, when

you see the things that people take the need.

To the wise men the mending the time of Medicanisser,

a world of white emperor. They came and.

Rulingly because of prestige and power and pre eminence. They

now the governors of their answer. They bow to an

imature of the emperor. Never Conniesser.

I want you to know them. There were three men

that will not being caught up in the back. So

we come on now they're in the back. Loss a

sweet labor.

Oh God, you will see it now all the world.

It's so, it's so deceited. Somebody better lake upper and

realize that.

Man, it's this when they religious.

More than a religion, we need a relationship, a personal relationship,

more than a water wide religion.

We need a personal relationship.

Brother Nathaniel, I can't imagine across the Paul receiving word.

There's some reverting back to this mindset, and he would

say this didn't happen overnight. Them grievous wolfs will come

in church. They have come into churches across the America.

Who would have thought that people could have been let

back into animal sacrifice in relations chifter number two in

verse number eighteen and cent us for if I build

it in the things which I destroyed, I make myself

a transgressor. That's a willful act of obedience and a

will for act of disobedience. Do y'all hear that if

I personally building the things I'm destroyed, I'm making myself

a transgressor. When they went out there and put the

rope around the neck of the sheep, and they led

them to the temple, and when the priest put his

hand on that knaifa, they were building a den de

everyway thing I'm telling you there are things.

That will distract us.

While reading the Book of Galatians this morning, I noticed

it right off the bat. The great Apostle Paul is saying,

I preach to others the same thing I preach to you,

But somehow evil influences we can outsiders, have come in

and distracted you, the believers, from enjoying your righteousness and liberty.

And Jesus Christ, you.

See our righteousness, sir, he says, filthy rags.

But I'm been trolling a gracil.

This morning because of his righteousness. Sir, I feel clean

because he's holding. Then I can be holding because he's confect.

I can be perfect if I just.

Walk her in the custom of life, if I don't

just surfing on the river. He o't gray, Sir. I'm

telling you gotta.

Tell her with the food.

That's your feeling in your safe man, you wanta go

with the hurting. No user, come, I just signed. I'm

not gonna raise my side right like everybody else does.

I wanted to be different, man. I want people to

know they're different. I want people to know.

That they're chill, to know they're the living God. This

wasn't a luck of the all I didn't draw the

sort of strong This wasn't an accident.

It was a deliberate mood to keep my sons from

me and drug at it.

It was a strategic move to keep them away from

the ego courses.

Honey world, you would be a judge. Wasn't a good decision?

Don't you feel like these people were making a bad

choice when they decided to go back?

Could y'all imagine the pastor how after thirty one years

told us children, you know what, we get.

It that way for all of your years, all of

your lives.

But that's for me and youma. We're going back to

our former lifestyle. You know what, in moments, the Hallow

family would be fractured. In moments, yestimonments would be shattered.

You could give it three to five years and half

of the Hallow family wouldn't be destroyed.

Oh come on now, And that's why Apostle Paul knew

I got to deal with this situation because of little

living living at the whole Lump asked to make her

down there at the bakehouse. I woke up this morning,

reach twenty exactly am I preach on it tonight?

It was confection a confederation talking about a bakery, a

confederacy of bankers. I thought, maybe I need to start

a company called Confectionery Missionary or confection Confederation. Get a conglomeracy,

a baker's around this area that's willing to.

Make goods from their house and the.

Dyspatch of drivers to deliver. You know, everybody's always got

time for cheesecake. I don't know if I'm gonna preacher

on that here tonight, but there should be sweet tans

in pedda tata in every township, in every rural church,

in every big city church. This should be sweet things,

Kennan from a t B, not pedal contusion.

I'm talking about now, no last year scale bread.

They're acting to be a confederation, eh me, And oh God,

they won't Preacher God a gaugerator words O God, so

Apostle Paul implores these people, and he gives all these

books of the Bible.

We've got to go back to what matters.

You know what, brother Jesse, the moment your mother and

I decided to turn back would be the moment we

find man's and bonds on our wrists and ankles again.

You see evil influences had penetrated the minds and the

gatherings of these precious people.

That breaks my heart. That's my burden this morning. Yeah,

we got about eighty here, but it breaks my heart

to think that one or two amongst us might be

getting pulled back into the things of yes here.

All you gotta do is put your mind on it.

That's what the Lord said to his servant. He said,

if any man put his hand to the plow and

looking back, he is not fed for the kingdom.

All these evil people wanted to undo everything Jesus had

done for these people.

Thirty one years ago, I found out all of my friends,

and I had plenty of them, didn't want anything to

do with church.

They didn't want anything to do with faithful attendance. They

certainly didn't want anything to do with.

Having a personal relationship to the Lord that required us

to do a few things according to scripture and Brother Tyler,

there was some of them that sent out to deliberately

undo the things that God was doing in my life,

including at eight point thirty on Sunday morning, you want

to go to the fleet market in a forty five

on Sunday morning, you want to go down there to

Bob Evans and have breakfast.

I'm telling you, if you can be distracted, you will be.

Should I slow down as go to the house or

should we keep on preaching.

It's sad to think that people were coming into that congregation,

right into that physical location, that geographic locations, finding the

impus with one person, and that was the undo what

God was doing.

So when you don't tell somebody, hey, just what.

God's a moving in my life, God's a blessing in

my life, you better be careful who you give that

information to.

I heard of the trunk that got delivered instantly, not

through a process, not progressively, instantly delivered from.

Alcohol livesm as He held in.

An altar of pear and said, Jesus, I believe your

blood can cleanse me from alcoholism. He went to the

bars and told everybody about his confusion, his conversion, and

brother Philip.

His conversion turned the confusion because of he went to

that best friend's house. What the bars could not do

that best friend could sometimes even our own spouses, our

own children.

Come on, now, He went to that best friend's housing,

and that best friend he split something across the table.

He said, no, I can't do that. I got saved.

I'm delivered from alcoholism.

I'm no longer spending my baby's built by holding alcohol.

I'm no longer coming home asking questions of what I

did last night. I'm no longer a drunken fool and

a drunk and stupor.

And the guy just consistently kept sliding up that drink

across the table, and one day said, well, I guess

I can do it socially for old time's sake.

You know, one brother, Philip, he died a drunkard. I

said he died a drunkard. Not here, everybody. It went

back to animal psychopathect got back through a blood on Jesuas.

I'm telling you to be pastime if you don't get

caught up in a bacteria, a false doctrine up here.

Seeing her, Well, come on, now, the bacterier, it's real.

I said that it's taking the bacterial sin. He is real.

There's a bacteria.

Now it's a long but now you might not believe it,

but I read it some years ago. I drink after

my life, and I think you drink after a couple

of our kids. That we're not prone to backwash maybe

maybe not. I'm not sure, but I read years ago

that sharing drinks can spread disease, and I don't have

a germ phobia.

But when it comes to spiritual things, I can tell

you that sharing drinks can spread disease.

And Jesus doesn't share with nobody.

The mindset of this warped society of seven million people

is a worship anything that makes you feel better about yourself.

But Jesus was different, and Jesus was exclusive. All the

non inclusivity of Jesus when he said, I am the Way,

I am the Truth, I am the Life. And Jesus

also said.

There is no other God before me and you. There

is to be no one between you and I. Oh,

come on now, Jesus, ain't go share you blood vice.

There's influence, Jesus, they gonna share you know different, then

you'll share your child who the people? Come on now,

I'm telling somebody.

In this suldent, Look, how can you save your long time?

When get love?

The ego influences love this Lord. Jesus said, if any

man love the Lord, the Lord of the Father, it's

not in him. He said, how will the world know

that you love me? And that you have love toward

one another. He said, you love me when you keep

my commandments. He said, my commandments are not griefs. My

burden is not heavy, My burden is light. Them vices

are thirty one.

Years ago, no longer have a stranglehold on me, I said,

them biases are thirty one years ago, no longer have

a stranglehold on me.

And some of you came from Egypt spiriting, some of

you that have have moved here from places that.

You've called Egypt.

And now as you're not care for because of contacts

friend or foe, you will find yourself.

Being caught up in the currents. A backwash. I'm preaching

on the bacteria, a backwash.

Don't slip into your old ways and living to satisfy

your own desires. I felt like saying that again, don't

b don't swip back into your old ways.

I was trying to satisfy your own desires.

Can't nobody do me like Jesus? And the church said,

hey man, I can't afford to go back. I can't

afford to start missing church. I can't afford to start

Rather going to the lake and border skiing and knee

board rather than going to church. I can't afford to

go back to horseback ride rather than go into church.

I think I raised a howl with kids, with what's

seven to ten horses, and I've spent a lot of

money because I loved horseback riding.

I did it when I was a kid.

My room was decorated before it was popular to decorate

little boy's room. Every little whatnot I could get was

a little statue of a horse, a picture of a horse,

if we went to good Will and I could talk

mom into getting it.

If I had a huge own money, I had little

tiny you know them little tiny toys that you get

it trackedor supplying things and horses all in there. I

don't know what kind of vice it is, but it's

a vice. One it keeps you out of God's house.

And when it keeps you out of that place, brother

Tessey talked about this morning, it's advice, even if it's

a job.

The cricks and preaching better now, I'm preaching you just

have to be careful. You have to keep yourself the

bobles that keep yourself unspotted from the world.

I remember the first time I developed a phobia back washed.

Y'all ready for this. One of my uncles, it was

about ten years younger than his siblings.

We were all sitting into my granddaddy's house and we

had some I guess there were my cousins.

He had some cousins, some nieces and nephews that were

younger than me, significantly younger. And I was a teenager and.

I watched one of them little nieces.

He has a little niece run up there to him

to offer him her sippy cut, and he pushed that

sippy cup away, and he said, Uncle, so and so

don't like me, no backwash. And I've thought about that

a lot of times. And somebody said, oh, it's just

a little child, they.

Don't mean any harm. Drinking to make them feel better. Participate.

They brought that cup to me and I put it

to the side of my mouth and fame to be

drinking from it.

Right.

Oh come, I ain't even gonna pretend to be drinking

from a Seward's pop of sin. We're gonna make it

clear for these children right here where we stand.

Oh come on, now, the Harold Boars didn't end up

locked this right here over now. We were praying and

we were finding our way free life has lived by

the Holy Ghost. You don't stumble into something like this.

The oars living in this world are stacked up against us.

We got five sons. Oh thank god, I'll fire saying

sure if we would have lost one God, if you

don't contrailer outside influence, if you don't come on, I

didn't block them in.

You see them looks. You overpower it with the clearing

the church.

You overpower the back floor and the backlass life, the

word left with the power for.

The Holy Ghost. Talk with your services without continue losson

my father Bollard, you can push up away the backlas.

So everybody gave him uncle hard time about that. Come on, man,

take a sip of that Hawaiian punch. And he looked

at that and he contemplated it, and he said, no,

I'm telling you that about especially.

Back ten twenty some years ago. He said, that's about

it's definitely letting stuff.

Come back to it.

He said, I know it's fucking little, but it's definitely

coming back through it. And they said, oh no, it ain't.

Neither new scientific technology has changed that. There's no way

there's any impurities.

What's in that cup? He grabbed that cup he's a realist.

By the little handle, y'all, every when sip the cups

had handles, herd plastic nozzles, her plastic spiles.

I'm telling my age now. And he pulled it up

and held it up for everybody. He said, you got

to lift it up a little higher. Look what's flashing

around in the bottom of that cup.

And brother Nathan, if you've got the gag reflex but

that's what I did. I don't have a gag reflexer.

I thought, he is not kidding.

There is eminems, there's goldfish and all kinds of stuff

there on in the bottom of that cup.

And he said, when you turn it up, he said,

that stuff goes to the bottom. And oh, my Jesus,

are y'all listening to me? Oh, come on, don't crucifi

the prea trip and don't cruisna file of Churchill.

And they try to keep the inside of and a

cup cleaner and a content they are inside of the

cup cleaner.

Tell us somebody that you better think about the bacteria,

what backwash?

You better think about them friends of yesteryear, they got

yours able even family members of sometimes when they're never

left the tim the ant you all of the kuna

the God has daughter.

Can'stal enough be t for the bacteria? What back cross?

Paul worked so hard, sister would established in a church

with the people that would sing.

My tears flowing down their face. Can't nobody do me

like Jesus? Can't nobody do like Jesus? But Brother Philip,

they're going back, They're going back, going back. How many

people in this building this morning are going back? You

better make up your mind. You're not turning back. Even

influence says that him penetrated the minds of those that

have gathered in that local assembly. If you look at

our text, it says, be not cared about with diverse

and strange doctrines.

For it is a good thing that the heart be

established with grace. I want to say it again.

It is a good thing that the heart be established

with grace. It's a good thing to be in church.

It's a good thing to be participating in this movement

of grace, which is the institution of the church. Whether

there's somebody preaching the word of God, somebody singing under annoying,

or somebody saying Amen under the annoying. He said, it

is a good thing, that the heart be established with grace.

Not one meets which have not profited them that have

been occupied there.

And let me ask you something. Did your former lifestyle

profit you in any way?

It did not?

Why did you come to church anyway? Sister would? You've

been saved about thirty two years, Brother Philip, you've been saving?

Now.

How old are you when you got saved? Truly converted?

Eight years old, I think, Brother Roquep, how old were

you when you got converted?

Truly converted? No more drugging after that?

Huh?

Instantly, no more drugging.

At twenty years of age, you knelt down in and

all too the ruben gorid blood of Jesus. It's not

of your own works, it's none of your own standards,

it's none of your own holiness. It's note of your

own righteousness, but the grace of God, justified by his grace,

his goodness, his faith, The pure blood of Jesus cleansed you,

delivered you from them vices.

It's a good thing that the heart be established with grace.

It's a good thing that I'm not relied on animal sacrifice.

It's a good thing that the heart be established by grace.

Not with meats which have not profited them, that have

been occupied therein. It's hard to believe that some of

these people were finding spiritual comfort strength of what they consumed.

I almost feel spiritual on Sunday afternoon.

When I go to the Cactus vax and consume and

in jest, but it ain't.

Spiritual or brother starret.

When I feel full of capacity, I feel blessed so

and I tell you people may barbecue joints their religion,

and I just felt something right there.

I love Rome City with the best of you, but

I'll go to after one o'clock off Sunday.

I'll go to Rip City every day in a week

if I want to, but it won't be dearing the

Gospel out of it. And don't women in this house.

I'm telling you, I'm trying to protect you. I'm trying

to help you. You could get caught in a whirlpool

of distractions. Dangerous distractions will pull us.

Out of church.

When I think about this brotherhood, it's hard to believe

that these people felt.

Spiritual comfort and food and what they consumed. They felt

secure spiritually because of.

What they ate drank Naturally, I guess there will always

be a temptation to revert back to previous states, previous

states of mind, previous states of practice, previous states of lifestyle.

Unfortunately, we have witnessed this take place throughout the years.

How many of you seen people that started out good

and they ended up in shambles.

Apostle Paul addressed the early church with these words, he said,

you did run?

Well? Who did hinder you?

In another place? He said, who who bewitched you? People

will undo what God's doing. When we came here, it

was eighteen years ago to established a church in this area.

When we came here, I was amazed at how many

people that just sought out to undo what God was.

Doing while we were minding our business, trying to do

the things of God. Brother, when I couldn't believe the

outside influence that was penetrating, trying to undo and dissolve

what God is doing.

Do you know how to think they will try to

undo what God is doing in your lives. Not everybody

is excited about what God is doing. But who is

excited about it is Jesus.

And that is enough.

It's enough for me to know that God is findful

of us, to know that God is visiting us to

know that when God smiles on our faces and joy

in our heart, who cares what the world thinks about it?

Who cares? I know what satisfies me. I know what

makes me happy. You can see a family finally caw

the will of God in a.

Church selection and let's say I'm happy there, And immediately

they start getting fulk calls.

From people trying to undo what got there? Like when

do my business become your business? Good news travels fast,

but bad news travels faster.

Backlash, confusion, backlash, confusion.

Brother Nathaniel, pray for my brother. I got a burden

of priest to somebody this morning. In Paul's day, some were.

Reverting back to their religious practices and ideologies, And in

our day, many are attempting to go back to pleasures.

They are the Word of God says, they'll love pleasure

more than they love God. They'll love their habits and hobbies.

Who's got habits of life?

I got one.

I go to Duncan Doda every day, sometimes I go

twice a day. How many of you be honest? You

got a habit of life? You got a routine? Are

there any creatures of habit?

I got my pen in a certain spot in that office,

and over there by engineer in office.

I got my monitor and a certain spot and a

certain angle. If you bump at one degree, I turn it.

I got my papers. Ninety degrees perpendicular to the edge

of that desk. Is anybody else's creatures a.

Habit come on night. But there's some things we will

never turn back to if we're to make it to heaven.

If we're to make it to heaven, Brother road Gap

told us this morning on the rivers of Revival.

During a recent series of services.

God dealt with me to speak to this people on

the purpose of.

The tributary, the stream, the branch of the brook, and

the river. It's all to flow to the sea.

For when a man loses his purpose in life, what

does he feel he needs to live?

He's the reason I live.

There's twenty five howls of the eighty in this bill

the people.

There's twenty five howels. There's another twenty five reasons for

me to live.

But you know what, when I look past that, I

see eighty reasons.

For my purpose in life. If I need to find

purpose in life, I look right here and I see something.

I see something I see precious souls, and that I'm

preaching to somebody this morning.

You're torn with something in your mind, and you.

Better let it go, because as you think on it,

that heart's.

Gonna turn after it.

You think on it too long, that heart's gonna turn

after it. I'm gonna say that one more time. You

dwell on that too long, that heart's gonna go after it.

And when the heart goes after it, the body and

far behind. But all of the tributaries they flow and

they keep moving.

In that tributary behind our office, the water level rises

and it falls.

One day, truly, brother said, you witnessed this.

One day it could be six inches deep, another day

it could be four feet deep. One day it could

be twelve inches deep, another day it could be six

feet deep. Brother Nathanie'll make a residency in that beautiful

tributary whose water elevation's rise and fall is the biggest

strike turtle you've ever seen in your life. Yesterday morning,

brother Jonathan and his sister Hannah were selling us some goats,

turning a pretty good profit.

Cleared about three hundred and fifty dollars on their goats.

Being industrious and flipping goats, Brother Jesse, sister Hannah, your sister,

and my daughter.

Send me a picture. She said, Daddy, the turtle has.

Come out of his environment, and she showed me that

he was contemplating acrossing the street.

Why did the rabbit cross the road? Why did the

chicken cross the road? Why did the deer cross the road?

Why did the Christian go back to Judaeis? And why

did why did the turtle leave his environment?

They said he crossed that little road there. Brother Wood

said he fought that fence until he found the opening.

Somebody's fighting the fence. If your heart's already out there,

you're back on a barstool.

You got a need on your hand, already in your mind,

or you.

Got a former flame, or you got.

Whatever it is, former lifestyle, former location, former identity. I

had to leave my identity as an athlete, not because

it was sentil to go shoot some battle with the boys.

What because it controlled me? Right? I feel the Holy

ghost in this place, which go to the house.

If you'll look to her, I could bect to and

plead with the individual I'm preaching to a little older

which all allow that?

Or should we go to the house if I continue

to preach it. It's on your choice. It's on your decision.

Thank you, brother.

I don't want to hold any too Lord, But that

turtle knew not to get out of his environment.

You know, not to get out of the house of God.

You know you know where God brought you to. I

doing the Holy coast in.

This they said he was last seeing on the other side,

near the main highway fighting that fits, says the wood.

What he don't know.

There's another opening, another gate on that fix that leads

to his asstuck. It ain't just a little road that

the car passes through every nan and then there's a highway.

Brother Jeremiah said.

A man entered that saleslope and by a building from us,

and he said, nice stripe a neck turtle you got there,

he said, I almost killed.

Him, almost ran over him as he was cut through

the gate. You don't even have to get out there

and lose your life. You can backslide on the Peu.

You can get called and backwashed right into Peo. Oh

for the Holy ghost.

I need somebody to pray for me.

I'm pulling for somebody the reason why you have felt

what you have felt, and you felt that drawing. That's

just the goodness and the grace of God. That's the

love of God. And that's what Paul was telling these people.

You better be careful for backwashed, whether Jesse when you

come to the piano this morning. I'm here today to

warning this people appending to him and disaster. Backwash occurs

when someone reverses the flow of water.

Young people, it's easy to be swept away backwards.

In a way forever by things. They will begin to

consume you on a daily basis. Today I see people

that are bombarded in their minds. Where the road app

for the advertisements. You can't even open the app for

your Bible now without advertisements. I told Sister House, sometimes

I have a problem, get to my hard copy of

the Bible.

This one's well worn.

Brothers. I'm not saying this to boast, but delete by example.

This one's well worn.

Because sometimes I open my Bible app. Sister House, we're

walking in a restaurant. God lays a scripture on my heart.

You and I are talking and walking.

Right and now Sister Rachell get bombarded with advertisements on

my Bible app. And I told Sister House that I'm

about to delete this thing where I'm going to go

ahead and pay to do away with.

The distractions, because when my mind's on the word of God,

I open the app and I have to fight ads, advertisements.

To get what my mind was on. You know the

purpose of that to distract you away from your purpose.

Let's stand this morning.

This message is to pull you back into focus. The

devil's trying to distract you from your purpose, young people.

The incessant bombardment of information and ideas offered by this.

World can bring forth back watch in a hurry, and

I see a backward movement in our country. It doesn't

please the Father? Will it disappoints you? Will I hear

it in your conversations before an after church? You think

American needs revival. We do need revival. We're called up

in the back forth.

Paul warn't followers of Jesus Christ against teaching that would

call spiritual backwash. Let me be clear, it could appear

to be true, but it could turn your heart in

the wrong direction. We must guard against this very thing.

Paul was telling these people to go with the flow

of grace, go with the goodness of God, and close.

And I'd like to read our third.

Text.

Our context was Glatians four eight and eleven.

Is that Paul asked his teacher why they wanted to

go back to the week of the beverly elements.

Of the world.

Why do you want to go back to it? Do

you really want to go back to it?

I want to ask some of you, do you really

want to go back to those hangovers? Do you really

want to go back to those moments of misery? Do

you really want to go back when you don't.

Know how to explain yourself for your actions.

The night before?

Did he really want to go back? Brother Pip, thirty

one years ago, your daddy came to an altar and pray,

I left some things in my past. Your mother left

some things in her past, hoping that we could build

a better life for our children and grandchildren.

The system moving.

Unfortunately, it breaks my heart to report those backsliders that

were filled with their own ways as the Bible said

they would be, they got caught up to backwash and

it broke them. Inn In why my Daddy's heart, Paul's

heart was broken because of the backwash he was taking

place in the church while the river of grace was

coming through it. Was a BackFlash taking them out to

church doors. Let's paw our heads this morning.

Baby, if you're in this building and you say, preacher,

there's been a current of compromise and coming in the

world inness.

And pulling me back, pulling my mind away from my

purpose what God has put him my heart.

And I've been tempted to share things that I once

have destroyed, participated things.

That I want to destroyed and go back to the beacon,

back to the elements of this world.

Would you raise you in if you're one of those people,

anybody God sees that one hand is there another.

Because another there's two hands.

That's how I felt this morning.

It would be a minimal and the response, you know what,

God loves you enough.

To let you know.

Don't go back, don't revert back to.

Let's find a place to pray this morning, shouting once

you just get personal with God and pray in your way,

just pray from your heart, said Lord, I thank you

for saving and I thank you for a place to

worship you.

I thank you for a place to feel your spirit.

I thank you I can through your prayersence.

I thank you for being byeful of me.

I don't want to go back to the world, Jesus.

Jesus shared dreams could spread disease.

Jesus doesn't want to be shared because the things Jesus

doesn't want to this shies, but that he took him first.

Make captorty, make kept alardy in your life.

Talk foreg for your own presents. Game, don't go back

to the world, don't go back to sin, don't go

back in your home, stay put thought.

He's gonna healthy, He's gonna bliss.
