Set Me Afire Lord - Bro Jeremy Howell 9-1-2024

May I direct your attention to the fifth chapter.

We will be reading the verses number fourteen through sixteen.

Brother nathaner Luke, Chapter number twenty four and verse number

thirty two. Brother Jesse's Psalm Chapter number eighteen and verse

number twenty eight.

It is good to have all of our visitors here

this morning. I know who you are. I appreciate you

being here. And there's several of you're probably too many

to name, but thank you.

Brother Nathaniel Luke, Chapter number twenty four and verse number

thirty two. My brother, and they said, one to another,

getting on our hearts burn within us while he talked

with us by the way, and while he opened to

us the script, how many has ever had holy heartburn?

If you haven't experienced that, you can experience it today,

Brother Jesse, Psalm, chapter number eighteen and verse number twenty eight. Please, sir,

where thou will light my candle the Lord, my God,

we'll enlighten my darkness. Praise the Lord, Thank God for that.

Let's stand for the reading of our text, shall we?

Matthew Chapter number five, reading verses number fourteen through sixteen.

The Bible says you are the light of the world.

Look at your neighbor and say, hey, neighbor, do you

know you, sir?

Human are the light of the world.

Jesus said, these words are written in red printh. He

are the light of the world. A city that is

set on a heel cannot be hid.

Neither do men light a candle and put.

It under a bushel, but on a candlestick, and it

giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let

your light so shine before men, that they may see

your good works and glorify your Father, which is in heaven.

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

opportunity to be in your house.

Lord.

I thank you that the saints and sinners have gathered

today in so many places throughout this world. I pray

that you would meet with your people as they worship

and pray in your house wherever they be. What you

meet with us right now? Lord, bless this thy people.

Set a guard at their ears, and help them to

hear what the Spirit of God says under the church today.

Lord, not of my words. I pray that they would

hear your words.

Let the sayings, Lord, of this blessed book go below

the shoulders. Let them saturate the soul and the spirit God.

We don't want them to go in one ear and

out to other world and thrill around in the mind

and be forgotten. Lord, let them get a hold of

this that you've said to us today. I pray that

you would annoyt this, thy servants, set a guard at

my mouth, and help me to say the things that

you would have me to say, nothing more or less. Lord,

I pray that we would be hearers, and that we

would also heed, and may to partner this placed joyfully

and not sorrowfully, in Jesus' name of the Church, said Amen,

Praise the Lord. Our text has found in a New

Testament book of the Holy Bible, Saint Matthew's Gospel. The

title of this book bears the name of its author.

Matthew is a very interesting character. When Matthew met the

Messiah Jesus Christ, his life was forever changed following that

divine encounter and appointment. I would have believed that Matthew,

who was formerly a taxed to lector that became a

disciple of the Lord's Savior Jesus Christ, would have, without hesitation,

told people that a spiritual metamorphosis took place in his

life that instant, the moment that he met the Messiah.

Because he had a willing mind and he was willing

to submit his will to.

The hand of the Father Divine, that spiritual metamorphosis took

place in Matthew's heart, and so this despised, treacherous tax

collector became an author of the first of four Gospels.

Think about that radical transformation when I think about Jonathan

Edwards and the radical transformation that took place in his life,

and lets me know and reassures me that God can

do it in the heart, in.

The mind of anyone.

And I'm so thankful that our Ore is not a

respector of person. By his selection of men whom he

chose to be his disciples. It's so evident that God

is not a respector of persons. As I look out

upon about eighty people this morning, I realize.

That God is mindful of us.

You need personalities, various talents, skill sets, and abilities. But nevertheless,

the Lord is the maker of us all and our

souls belong to him. And truly He has a great

love towards each and every one of us, whether a

prince or a pauper. The Lord is concerned about your soul.

As I was praying and seeking the Lord, and of

course I had a lot on my mind because of

this past weekend's wedding ceremony and celebration. I begin to

hear from the Lord concerning this morning's service, and I

feel like I'm preaching a message at the Holy Ghost

title sent me a fire lord.

How many of you would.

Raise your hands right now and show me that it's

your desire that the Lord would send your soul afire. Again,

I'm preaching a message the Holy Ghost Title sent my

soul a fire lord. There is no doubt that this

tax collector his soul was set on fire by the Messiah.

In fact, the Bible said he left the high backed chair,

if you would, and walked out of the tax collector's office,

never to return again. A radical transformation, and I believe

God wants to do that right here in this building

this morning. And I want you to think about the

radical transformation that took place in the life of brother

Jonathan Edwards over the last twelve months.

I'd like to dedicate this message to him this morning.

Hopefully he's able to hear it.

But Matthew was certainly a very intelligent person. He was

also a very interesting character. When I think of Matthew

brother Nathaniel, I think of someone that had to go

to work with his chin on his chest, someone that

was ashamed of the betrayal that he had committed against

his brethren. Somebody also that wasn't comfortable concerning his position

within the Roman Empire.

This man would have been a judas of swords.

I believe, brother Philip, that he was torn between two.

I believe he was troubled in his mind, just like

some people in this building this morning, or trouble, and

I believe he is a Hebrew and found that his

heart had grown cold.

Brother Jesse, When I think.

Of the spiritual dampening that has taken place in this

world today, I am amazed.

Know one that we have the word of God, Know.

One that we had these sixty six love letters of

the Divine Library.

And somehow there is still this eerie dampening and darkening

going on in the world.

In fact, in the Bible you will find that the

Bible said the love of many shall grow cold. Why

is the love of so many wax and cold? It

is because of sin. But the Bible also said, where

sin doth amount grace did much more impound, and so

Brother Nathaniel.

Nevertheless, we see that it is happening.

There is a dimming of the light, there's a dampening

of the cold of the fire. And I believe here

this morning that God wants to take three to five

of us and set us a flame.

I'm telling you, you are combustible.

Your explosive of the power of God is going to

be like a spark to a power keg here in

a minute, and it's going to just set you a fire.

And a flame. And praise the Lord for that.

Just because the love of so many are growing cold,

I don't have to be numbered among those that.

Have chosen to be so fullness.

Just because five of the ten virgins have decided not

to do things that are necessary in order to keep

their fire burning, They're not gonna keep me from joining

the party.

They're not gonna keep me from having that encounter with

the bridegroom.

And so I want to see to it that it

doesn't happen to me, that it doesn't happen to my wife,

and that it doesn't happen to you all. Again, it happened,

It is happening, and it will happen again, but it

does not have to happen to us.

You do not have to stay cold. I've heard it

said in church for years, you may grow old, but

you should not grow cold. Why have I heard that

for half a century.

I've been in Pentecostal and holding his churches for half

a century, right at fifty years, brother Jesse, And I've

heard preachers, pastors, evangelist teachers, ministers, missionaries admonished the church,

exhort to the church, admonishing the church, telling them don't

grow old and cold.

I've seen them exhort the church saying, hey, keep putting

cold to the fire.

He put the word of God to your soul. Keep

that fire burning. But for some reason, people are growing cold.

Jesus said that this spiritual condition would come about because.

Of lawlessness and increase.

Lawlessness is in the land, and without the Holy Ghost,

people's love for Jesus and the things of the Lord

will become cold, and they.

Will grow colder and colder and colder.

Brother Nathaniel, I shudder and tremble at the top of

me ever, waxing cold in my spirit. This is no

time to turn around. There's no time for you turns.

No time to backslide, no time to grow cold on God.

It is time to put cold to the fire.

I'm preaching to somebody right here this morning. You see

our golden texts in the fifth chapter of Saint Matthew's

Good News Writing, and the Bible reader knows that this

is the beginning of the Savior's sermon on the Mountain.

Now get the imagery with me. The Lord has become

wildly popular at this point. The size of the crowd

was massive, just as the Law of God was given

to the Israelites on the mountain by the hand of Moses.

Now in this moment, Jesus is delivering the sermon on

a mountain, and people are gathered together listening to the

teacher of all teachers teach in his instruction. He begins

to let them know about the purpose of the letter

of the Law, and it was given to God's people,

the Israelites, and God had used a mouthpiece named Moses

to deliver such a law. But now, brother Nathaniel, we

find Jesus exposing the spirit.

Behind the letter of the law.

If you will, Jesus is speaking to dampening and darkening souls.

That had the word of God, but have grown staged

and drawn cold.

And now Jesus has given them some cold to the power,

and he's.

Showing an exposion the spirit of the law.

He many of you appreciate the word of God. I

thank God for the words that are in black. I

thank God for the words that.

Are in red. This whole book, the sixty six books of.

The Divine Library, are the words of God, brother Nathaniel.

But Jesus was the Word.

And Jesus begins to reveal and expose his heart to

the people and let him.

Know the spirit of the Law. The problem with a

lot of church people.

Is this, they have a form of Godliness, but they

deny the power thereof. They overlook the necessity of having

the Holy Ghost. In fact, Jesus's adamant instruction to his

fathers was be filled with the spirit. He also instructed

them to teary in an upper room until they were

filled with.

Power that would come from on high.

In other words, Jesus was saying, Hey, the Father is

not done working in the lives and the hearts of men,

women and boys and girls.

There's more to.

Come, and the best is yet to come. And I

still believe that to be true. Today, the mindset and

the mentality of so many saints and believers today is this.

It's the great falling away.

Listen, friend, the time of the great falling away again.

In the days of Paul, in the days of.

Peter, Paul's heart was broken because of the desertion of

a disciple named Demus. Just because Demus chooses to walk

away from the things of God doesn't mean Bonnabus is

gonna do it. Telling you the spirit of God is

what makes the difference. And may God put some cold

in somebody's spiritual hurt, this for him and sexious soul.

Ablaze of fire for his glory. I feel it in

my toes, I feel it in on top of my head.

I feel teenly all over. No, I do not rely

upon my feelings or emotions.

But I do know that what I have going on

inside is real, and I know it's causing the exterior

and even.

The lives of my body to feel something.

How many of you can say I know that fire

brings warmth, and I know that I feel on fire.

There's people in this building that can say I watched

at the moment, Brother Jonathan Edward, stop being dead spiritually,

and you could tell there was something underneath the surface.

If you want something in side of the power, Brother

gabral Wave had me back there which you walk up

towards the front.

I remember the night that he received the Holy ghost.

I could tell there was something different about this prodigal

son that had been out in the world for eighteen

something years.

He had come home and looking for the truth.

And he said the church that he went to, they

were not teaching it like they used to. They were

not holding to the teachings as they used to. There again,

the reason for that dampening and that darkening of that

spiritual people was because.

Somebody forgotten to put cold in the hurt. I'm telling you,

he said, I left.

There and began a search for truth, and in his

quest for truth, he happened to come by this way.

There's no good that we'd done.

There's nothing in this world that we've done that caused it.

Surely somebody down the road had prayed for him.

But you know what, God has entrusted him in our hands.

And I remember that night. Some years later, I guess

about a year ago.

Helt right there at the edge of that platform, and

I could tell.

That he meant business. And God said, draw nine a Gabriel, Jeremy.

God doesn't call me brother, hey man, draw nine a

Gabriel Jeremy. And we got to praying, and I remember saying, God,

if you had just said, what cold from that holy

altar and put it in Gabriel's soul, what cold for

the soul will change this man forever and praised me

to Jesus. That is exactly what has happened. It is

also what is happening on a continual basis. So Jesus

as he's ministry to these people, he's saying, you're missing it.

It is good that you got the letter of the law,

but your attitude and you outlook on a change.

I love to hear crickets preach right here or praise

the law. And so at this.

Time, the spirit of the law is being given to

those who are gathered.

It's being given to.

Them by the word, the mouth piece of the Triune Godhead.

Right now, Jesus was standing in front of them, and

Brother Nathaniel at that very moment truth.

Was being spoken.

The Bible student and reader has noticed that this sermon

begins with blessings of how many of you know, the

blessings of the Lord make us rich, and they add

no sorrow to it.

If somebody has been blessed of.

The Lord, truly blessed of the Lord, they will not

have a sorrowful spirit, they will not have a dampened

and a darkened spirit, because the blessings.

Of the God of Heaven maketh this rich.

And how many of you can say I'm enjoying the

blessings of the Lord. Well, this sermon on the mouth

begins with blessings, and I'm not sure why anyone would

ignore the teachings of Jesus, especially not the words of

the pronouncement of blessings.

I've got to.

Thumbing through this, sister Howl, and God put it on

my heart and I said, man, that's what I gotta

do to be blessed.

That's what I gotta do to be blessed. That's all

I gotta do to be blessed. And Brother Nathaniel, I've

found this chapter.

To be chalked full of information and instruction on how

to be blessed if you want to have fire in

your soul.

Serving God has never been a problem for.

Me as long as I'm on fire inside. But let brother,

how will get a little dampen and darkened in there,

and suddenly serving God might become a drudgery, It.

Might become a difficulty.

But as long as there is fire in the soul,

praise God. I wonder if somebody in this building is

desiring for a cold from that holy altar to be

planted in that bosom today which to raise your hands

and praise the Lord. And so this sermon on the

mountain is chockful of information and instruction, Brother Nathaniel. These

are words that these people can live by, and they

would experience true joy regardless of their external circumstances, if

they would hold to and adhere to the teachings of Jesus.

These words are called to be attitudes for a reason,

because people's attitudes have to change sometimes in order.

For them to be blessed.

And how many of you know that if you keep

the teachings of the Lord, you can be happy, chortok,

and blessed on a daily basis.

Even if your only daughter got married, you.

Can still have a joy in your heart and feel

like preaching.

The next morning.

You say, it's clear to see that our Lord Jesus

was attempting to light a fire in the heart of

those legalis to oh, yes, stand perfected the letter of

the law.

But he understood that the modern church must have sire,

and if we're going to live, you must have fire.

And say the son.

God the singer on a mountain, and he turned it

into a mountain a fire. This is not not sound

like that a same time of place that Moses was

at a mountain of fire. It is important for you,

as disciples to understand that this just this Jesus was

beckoning her knew him to troll nither listen and understand

that I want somebody to look at your neighbor and

say these words, Ay, neighbor, has your soul been set afire?

If they said no, let them know they can be.

Would you tell them all you can be? Your soul

can be sent whole pire. This should be.

Out this hour in prayer today. It is power for

the Christians light to shine. Now we teach how to

the children there who are members of the booster Man.

In the primary class of these lyrics of the Little

Childhood Song, it goes like.

This, this little light of mine, I'm.

Gonna let it shine. Can I ask you a question.

Is your fire raging? Now?

He is your fire blazing? Now?

He is your light shining now? If not, why not today?

Why don't re thread some fuel to the fire. You

see a Christian they're gonna stand now, They're gonna stand

before God.

Eventually. They must burn it now or they real burn later.

A Christian must have power, burn this side of their sword.

The friends.

If the flame mis flickering, let me ask us why.

I to my experienced times when the flame was flickering.

Now that, thank God, I can admit it, the fire

has never gone out.

Why are the flames diminished?

Why are the flames not leaping there as high as

the ruts dea? Why are the tongues of pire not

stretching men that's.

High to heaven? Has the ruts dead? I don't go

mutch y'all, But Yesterday's came to live here wedding with

special because the fire was there.

The photographer she told somebody at the venue, somebody that

was not a member of this church, of somebody that

had not attended the ceremony, in fact, that the master

of the venue. And I heard her telling her these words, Honey,

you should have been there.

It was beautiful.

Then she said why she needed it to be beautiful.

She said it was candle lit. Brother jes said, I

knew what I would be preaching over there, and right do,

I said, God, you are nipped my candor.

Wi.

I prod you a to a community, not a councer

who will.

Be dressed up when it's nipped, not a pile of

Oh God, who Jesus saying that to his followers, You, sir,

the knock o the world.

That being underneath the pail is the pier, I said,

he underneath the flamer, he is the fire. So many

churches today and I'm not to judge, and I'm praying

for them.

I'm praying for an outbreaking revival in every in every

little country church including initial. I'm saying, God, what just

set me on fire? Because the power get on fire.

Just the hell get on fire. This is the hell

gets on fire. Our six children will catch fire.

The old black preacher used to sing a song, I

wish somebody soul would catch on fire, catch on fire.

Then he went a little further and said, and burn

with the hole ghost him. When the Son of God

was preaching throughout the regions of Galileeed he asked the

question about John. In essence, he was saying, what made

us message different than that of fire percun What made

us message different.

Than that of the priests? His daddy was a priest.

What made the message different than that of the preacher?

Then they're into Jerusalem. Why did you go to the wilderness?

Why did you go to that voice?

Because all's tease, A said, now he mustn't burning iding.

The I'm telling us a mon's and Danta, I'll tell

you that meta se mail.

They're trying, and that one's a little tire who don't

need to see you to the never none of us up.

They would make a community that touch and a content

if we us a the pentrels, what touch fire?

Set my soula power? Lord, which somebody to raise your

hand right now? I say, Lord, we're a set my

soul a power. Not so much to it bad?

You see, friends, we must all admit that sometimes we

get cumbered with things, and we get held up, and

we get hanged up, hung up on some of the

silliest things that really don't matter, that we overlook the

things that matter. And while we do that, Eli, the

lamp of God is going out creatures. We're supposed to

be tenders of the oil. We're supposed to be tenures

of the fuel bed, if you would the cold bed.

We're supposed to be the one that comes in like ministers,

a flame of power.

The Bible said, when John, who was not a.

Revelator, heard from the revelator and wrote what the revelator.

Said, he said to the angel, to the Angel of

the seven churches, right these things. You know who he

was speaking to.

He was speaking to ministers, and they were liking unto

candlesticks in a candelabra, and they were threatened that they

could have their candle put out.

If you have your candle put out, you will no

longer have heat, You'll no longer have wanted, You'll no

longer have a flame, You'll no longer have pire.

Asked a mess man yesterday before I left out of

this building, I said, evidentity, you must have.

Took a while to knock that many candles. He said

it did. Then I said, who's gonna put them out?

It's gonna take it just as long. I said. I'd

hate to be the person that was putting my mouth

down there and trying to blow him out. I believe brother.

Jesse said, we've got some sort of apparatus that we're

gonna spray them out.

Now, listen, I don't care who or hell that who

is putting your fire out. And sometimes you've.

Gotta grab the spray bottle out of the hand of

that one that's putting your fire out, whether it's a

dramatic spouse, whether it's a dramatic preacher, whether whether.

Or not it's a trouble of mantic child.

You've got to put it out and replace them in

your hand after you discard, let's spray.

Bottle with a millows. But you have many of you know,

a bellow, you can flat out to put the heat.

I'm in the wind to the fire and increase the heat.

No, all less everything room.

They go stir because if I'm on there, I'm gonna

lose it. Not you, He's all me.

Can We're gonna stuff because if you know I'm gonna

lose my church, I'm gonna lose it my community. What

Joss was tall, these people lives. Remember, you're gonna.

Lie in the world. And the fact that he's saying

the lie, it's stoking. They must be fire.

They didn't have the movements that we had today. They

didn't have the looms that we have right here and

destilling there.

They had to have oil where they had some sort

of the pill.

Fill for the fire.

Well, ever since there's I've lost for fire, ever since

this was happening my fire, Ever since I stumbled, I

lost my fire.

Get back up.

One of them five wise birds and his babies stumbled

as she was going out the door.

I'm telling you what, Brother Jesse. She had some in

the reserves.

The Bible said that they don't only oil in their limps,

but they had some oil in reserve.

And you know, Brother Nathaniel, there was other people coming

and asking for their fire. They were asking for their oil.

I'm okay, we're praying with Brother Jonathan Edwards, and brother

gave avel and ten and giving them some of what

God's got. That's what Peter and John told the line

man that was laying at the gates, called beautiful.

They set silver and gold.

Have I none, but such as I have, give I thee.

What they're saying is, remember, Jesus told us to go

with one suit. Jesus told us to not worry about it.

Where we're gonna large or where we're gonna stay.

You know, we're not in this for the money. Too

many preachers are in it for the money rather.

Than having empty pocket. So they've got to your pockets.

And that's why the problematic for the people of power.

It's because they need a pension, they need a parsons,

and they need a patient. The paint preacher will always

lead to relative.

Let the power go out? Ain't that right? E? Lie

with your surns. Take it a cogeneration.

Preachers have learned that the power just happened, So they

just happened, So we'll take it prevented that on your

watchy line.

Somehow the knots have been there, somehow the fire has

turned eye. Oh God, here ahead with the us.

Is that you stuff to the old power?

No, you look put for the power. Ho time, we're

all let you know chard the badness may have had

her freakings.

Look us and honey is popular.

They suck their soul so much horror, I said something

in a soul, so much great eye. Sometimes people tend

to deny their experience and the encounter, but they can't

do nothing with the evidence. They look at gabral and

they look at Jonathan and they say, I'm not so

sure about the method and the.

Barbless, I'm not so sure about the administration. I'm unsure

about the encounter and the experience. But what they we're

gonna do? Who the ever did so?

Who?

Somebody's trong by the fire of God. There's nothing you

can dude, who's out of that?

I feel the holy ghost that must thank God for

that night, he charmed Charity. Oh my God, sister, would

sister House always been a precious jewel. I got rather

sim with the God. She didn't know anything about holiness.

You like her?

Brother Shame Shane's hurt wind. He's a little bit younger

than her, but he looks just like her. He told

me yesterday, he said, you know her.

He said. Some of them were.

Talking when y'all headed down there about what are we

gonna do? They left family, he said, I said, this

is a mission God has sent him on. He said,

I understand.

And Sister, how he probably didn't tell you this, he said,

I live with it in the back of my mind.

What could have been if Jeremy and Charity had a

state in our area in Lakeland?

What could have been? He said? But I know what

Jesus commanded Jeremy and Charity to do is what matters.

And I thought, man, I need to hand you a

microphone right now, and let you tell others that old

man Jesus is all the matters, just the how when

he's hand after all, I don't want to be foolish

about it, he said, I've got an eternity.

To enjoy, my big sister and my big brother in law.

Whole sleep. Now, my God, I say, let it be

sold Jesus.

I don't want to join hand in hand spiritue with

a black preacher, and said, I wish.

Somebody's soul would catch on fire and burn with the

whole chose health. Thank God that God.

Chard Charley, you see a Christian desperately needs the fire

to burn in their soul. I don't know who's got

it blazing this morning, and I don't know who who

has it flickered.

I will tell you this, Your fire ain't going out.

I just know you need some spiritual gasoline hurls your way.

If it's somebody that belongs to.

Bethel, or a visitor or a guest, it doesn't matter.

To me who it is.

If it's one of these little kids, only you know

what's going on in that soul.

You say, well, I feel like a kid at Christmas,

a kid that's been bad.

I don't believe in Santa Claus. We don't promote Santa Claus.

But they say that Santa Claus will bring a bad

child some coal.

Brother.

The thing are you probably have a cold mine in

your backyard, don't.

Our kid? Them were great kids, great kids, but they

say to Santa will bring them a bag of coal

instead of a gift.

Now, there's some people that felt like they've been dealt

some cold. Right, you feel like you've just got a

bag of cold. Well, pitt, if you could look in

my soul, you see cold in my soul? Well what

you need? It's the spirit of Elijah when he went

there with those that had come him their soul too.

At Mount Carmel had to road down on the showdown.

I'm telling you who you're right there.

After that showdown, Elijah stood as one man knowing as the.

Prophet of fire. Why was he the puppet of pore.

Because he could call it down from heaven. They're gonna

cause he had it to in a soul. Listen the

same man, then I could call fire.

Down there out of heaven in their nagh of the

Lord can also call down that rain in.

The neighbor an in heaven, the hair fire that a

remstone preacher a to also be able to.

Summon's dollar and kill a shallow if not that.

Brist people, somebody get the bird, somebody get a has

somebody starting the fire the lie. I just said, stuck

it right. Boys, they tried. Then the fire did not fall.

But just stuck it right. Do it right, sight to.

Fight right, live right, and the fire will fall. I

need to come to a close right here. I don't

want to hold it too long. He wants to set

your soul a fire in this very surface.

Now look at verse number seventeen, the verse just beyond

our golden texts. You will notice that the Lord wasn't

trying to discard the law as though it was a

piece of trash.

No, he was trying to put the fire inside of them.

They needed the spirit of the law, the passion of it,

the purpose of it, and the plan for it. The

faith of these people felt them. The flame in their

soul was, brother Caleb.

But you turn that light off and on their flame

was flickering.

Is there anything more agitating during a storm than to

see your lights start flickering?

What about Jesus when he said, you're the light of

the world.

And he looks down, keep on flickering, Brother Calord, and

he sat down there in label Florida, or over there

in Dominika or over there in Ukraine.

He said, it's flickering. That is not the will of God.

If I'm over there at seven twenty one north Bridge

Street working tomorrow, and he looks down from heaven with

that bird's eye view, and he looks into my office

and it's flickering. And but then he took notice of that.

Turning on Mother Caleb, he said, well, you know over

there a Cappas's place over there where the priest star

over there where Annas is, He said, it's flickering.

Wait a minute, it just went out. But out there

in the willariness there is a burthen and a chide

and the light. Oh, come on, young people, you do

not have to succumb to Peter tester, sir.

And now if your family does not understand you lid

in life, then we'll understand later.

My mother in walk came to me for the second

time into in.

Twenty years she came to me, I think a year ago,

a brother Philip's sister Elizabeth Wayting, and she came to

me after brother Jonathan his sister Hand's wedding, and she said, Jeremy,

we didn't really understand it at the time, why you

had to go on a mission and go to La Belle,

Florida and put that distance between all of us. But

she said, I know now, I understand now. And she said,

I've never felt more holy ghost in a place as

I do right there. A nothing had come on this

worth the sacrifice, this worth the sactification had.

I want to tell somebody, you keep doing well. You

don't propary then what I'm doing that you keep living it.

Yes up, you keep your maiders, take the power. Yes up,

pillow power. And I say it, and then I'm knowing

out of that twenty years later.

Who you did?

Watching did what? Somebody said something I saul power God, Yes,

kind of listen here.

For some reason, they're pore was going out. There's a

dampening in the darkning taking place. We must first admit

that there's a coldness.

It's scary. You've heard people say before. He was a

cold hearted murderer. Well, what happened. He got bitter, it

got better, and when they get better, they betrayed. And

Jesus knows all too well of the bitter morsel of betrayal.

Judas came in and betrayed him with a kiss. Jesus

knows all too well feelings of being forsaken, but he

did it anyway.

Jesus knows all too well of asking a hard question, Father,

where are you? Why have you forsaken me? And the

lights went out, And I want you to know he

went through intombement. A lot of people forget about the burial.

That is one of the most significant things about the

Passion week is the burial. They talk about the crucifixion

and the resurrection. We need to remember the execution. We

need to remember the method. We need to remember the death,

how he did not cry out with hatred. We need

to remember the spirit of Joseph as he had a

spirit of forgiveness. I'll tell you what, I'll put you

a fire out unforgiveness. I've been hurt.

I need to be healed.

Well.

I want you to know this.

Nothing in the work like somebody going to hell and

taking the Kisa to death held and the grave. You

do realize that the devil, it's not the one holding

the Kisa to hell. You do realize Jesus took them

over two thousand years ago.

You know who's holding the Kisa to death, hell and

the grave. Jesus. I see us, and I want you

didn't know it to be death to.

The old feelings, death to that old man, death to

that oldness high. If you just gift the fire right

it's in in there, you will find that the power

of the holding gusta enough to provide heeding now in

place of hopelessness, and healing in place of heart. And

look fourteen and thirty two. These two people that I

believe that the scripture makes clear. If your search the scriptures, you'll.

Find it a husband and a wife.

Husband's name is Plepus. He Old Moody said the same thing.

I ran across one of his writings, and he said,

it's evident by scripture. You study the Gospels, it's a

husband and a wife. I had come to that conclusion

early on in my ministry. I had to do as

a studied trying to figure out who are these two

people walking? They're spiritual people. They had went with high

hopes and dreams and anticipation. You young preachers, listen to

me how I'm gonna preach, how I'm gonna do something

for God. Hey, sometimes people hurts your feelings. You went

up to preach your father la room. You know all

too well about this.

You stuttered and stammered and stumbled over yourself.

Listen, every time I come to this pool pit, I

stood over there today and said, God, you.

And I both know why I cannot do this without you.

At the Holy Ghost does not preach through me, there

will be no preaching at all.

But a young person.

Somebody could say something that hurts your feelings. Then you

find yourself wrestling and show them with bitterness.

The wife may have fussed and you may have fault.

I'm telling you how people gonna get damp and inside,

and how people get darkned inside and get disappointed, and before.

You know it, by the Philip, they've grown cold him

the soul.

I'm telling somebody, this man and woman had walked from Jerusalem.

And they're going home. I'm gonna go home. I'm gonna

forget about the ministry. I'm gonna forget about this sof Hey,

they had to have been terribly disheartened and broken hearted.

Because Jesus said he always appeared to the severe cases.

He always took up the heart cases. This lets me

know they were teeter.

Tottering old disaster because of the words of They were

sticking from cold hearts. They were contemplating doing the untakable.

They are unamassable.

Lea thought, then it was he, Lea thought, Then he

come out of the grave.

And Jesus came looking for them, and he attached himself

to them.

And walked along away. And whenever he walk with him,

what did he talk about?

That?

He talked about the.

Word of God, the Bible, saying that wre in talk

with him that heart forgive my b.

I tell you, your preacher, if that I got time

in your soula they will feel you. I said, if

you Fielder, Hey, we'll feel you. Come my brother, Jess said.

It was about a month ago. He said, Dad, I

just want you to know I appreciate you and your preaching.

Here's what he said.

He said, I can feel it. He said, you know what,

when you're preaching, I can tell you believe what's your preaching, preacher, Do.

You believe it? Have you experienced it enough to believe it. Hope.

Come on now, I said, the process here. You don't

talk about your what so you show me.

All my time.

And that's what the lodes. When you're saying it's time

that we have a show, I had to show down.

It's time.

Well, all that stuff that's same without the fire, I'll

touched the dog.

Without the fire will be home the magnetism of the fire.

Right, loot a little fire, an air print. Child in

the perimeter will be transit. Lot of little fire, lot

of six inch fire.

My brother Nathaniel's little tiny girls will be walking on

the fire, no kidding, A lot of big bonfire and

there will be more people gathered around it.

Oh, sweet Jesus, I need to get you to the

chicken house. Jonathan's stay out of my henhouse. Boy, let's

che us stay on the thief look twenty four and

thirty two, and Jay said, once or another, did not

our heart burn within us? Oh?

Yes, something can go on on the inside. It's working

on the inside. There's something going on in the inside,

and it's showing nothing on the outside. Did not a

heart burn within us?

While he talked with us by the way and while

he opened unto us the scriptures.

Well, preaching's boring. It doesn't have to be. Preaching's dawn,

it's death, it's darkened. It doesn't have to be. That's

the purpose of the Holy Ghost.

Evidently something not incrimentally radically changing this couple's hearts.

Clipp Us and his wife were no longer heartbroken. They

have heartburn. God, Jesus, I'm telling you, you could take

this home to you Brod. You can take this home

to your brother Christian. You take this home to your

brother Dylan. God can do it right here this morning.

And the Bible said. And as they returned home, they

were full of sorber.

And you know what, just to how anyone passed them

could tell they were full of sorrow. And Jesus noticed

their sorrow. At some point, Jesus the Fire himself came by, and.

He began to warm their hearts.

He made himself known to them. He showed them in

Jack their hy Messiah suffered and died. It was to

warm the hearts and the souls of humanity. It's not

God's will that you dry up and die. It's not

God's will that you lay in the sandy duns and

wither up and dry. It is God's will that you

catch fire.

And once they got to their house, they invited Jesus

to come inside.

Wolf sweep them of god invitation and the reception it

was working recifrocation, the rest of prosity.

Come on in, Jesus. I need some more that. And

you know what, brother Nathaniel, they got some more that.

The very thing that they need they received and saw

chapter number eighteen, verse number twenty eight.

The Bible said, for that will light my candle, the Lord,

my God, will enlighten my darkness.

Just this quick sometimes incrementally, yes, but most of the

time pro radically.

For that will light my candle.

Somebody said they didn't know how to use that new

fangled new age firestarter as to how we got up

there after I had showed many people how to do it,

and she said, I don't know how to work this thing,

and I wish for to her. Well, I'm not fixing

the teacher right here in front of one hundred and

ten people, I.

Said, figuring it out. Don't make it obvious, just figuring out,

you know what, We have already figured out what we

got to do. We know what we got to do.

And God can make every one of us firestarters, and

God can make every one of us fire planners. That's

what the apostles and their wives and their children did

when they walked out of the other room. They took

it home with them. This is possible because this fire

can be transplanted. Evidently the Psalmist had felt heavy in

his heart, just as Cleophus and his wife had, and

that's why David said, they'll hastle up my candle. I

want to ask somebody question, as we're standing this morning,

Ask your neighbor, do you feel heavy?

I wanted to ask you that question, but you're closer

to them than I am. Brother Broquet asked somebody that

question again, do you feel heavy?

Some would answer like this, My heart feels cold, it

feels dark and damp. I know what it is to

be excited about church, to be excited about the Word

of God, excited about the Lord. But I'm here to

tell you this morning, the Lord is going to lighte

you up. Jesse, when you cover the pian, the Lord

is going to light you up. Ask Brother Jonathan Edwards

how quickly it happened, Brother Danny, when fire falls out

of heaven. It doesn't take long to reach the recipient

as long as you are the intended recipient.

You are the invited recipient, you say God intentionally, I state,

I desire that the invitation's already there, It's already presented.

Well preachure.

I know what it is to get excited to fill

the fire or God's fixing the light you up.

Let's bow our heads right here. Could we do that? Please?

He knows how you've been hurt. He knows you need

help because I felt it over the last couple of days.

He knows you're hurting. You've got valid reasons and concerns

for that. But I want you to forget about it.

Let the fire heal it. You spent countless hours, even

years burning emotionally to the place now that is you

physically your stist.

God wants to make your list. The flame has been flickering.

Oh yes, I want to say it once more. It's

going to be like a spark to a power.

Keg.

God's about to light you up.

If there's somebody just building that would like to pray,

saint or sinner, child of God, sanctified saint or sinner,

I want to open these altars right now, seasoned saint

that has to hold a ghost. And you want more,

salted saint, you say, I've been salted with fire.

You want them, just come on a ring. I am

going to ask the Lord once more. Set me ablaze, Lord,

set me a fire. Sing it my brothers.

Fo times to put.

You're trying to put that look me and I fee

feel the fire inside inside.
