Treading On The Threat - Bro Jeremy Howell 7-7-2024

Threading on the thread. If you have your Bibles, will you turn with

me to the Book of First Samuel Man, direct your attention to the second

chapter. We will be reading Versus numbers one through four. Brother Nathaniel,

Psalm Chapter number twenty five, Versus number two and three, Brother Jesse,

First John, Chapter number four and verse number four. Brother Nathaniel, would

you read that, my brother, Psalm twenty five two and three. Oh,

my God, I trust in THEE. Let me not be ashamed.

Let not my enemies triumph over me? Yay, letting none? Then wait

on thee be ashamed. Let them be ashamed, which transgress without calls amen?

Let not mine enemies triumph over me. How many of you know what

a thread is? A thread is a statement of intention to inflict pain.

Notice the words, let not my enemies triumph over me. The Holy Ghost

gave me this title. Treading own the threat, Brother Jesse, First John,

Chapter number four and verse number four. You are of God little children,

and have overcome them, because greater is he that is in you than

he that is in the world. Praise the Lord, Brother Steric treading on

the threat. Let's stand for the reading of our text. Verse Samuel,

chapter number two, verses number one through four. The Bible says that Hannah

prayed, supported to pray. After that she had been tortured and tormented and

had received multiple threats from Hanaa. Hannah received a blessing from the Lord.

After that, she prayed and said, my heart rejoiceth in the Lord.

Mine horn is exalted in the Lord. My mouth is enlarged over mine enemies

because I rejoice in Thy salvation. There is none holy as the Lord,

for there is none beside thee. Neither is there any rock like our God.

Talk no more so exceeding proudly. Let not arrogancy come out of your

mouth. For the Lord is a God of knowledge, and by him actions

are waved. The bows of the mighty men are broken, and they that

stumbled or girded with strength. May we pray, Heavenly Father, we love

and we praise you. We thank you for the opportunity to be in your

house. I thank you for each and every one that has gathered today.

I thank you for those that have had to leave. I'm glad they were

here and were able to hear what you said under this church. I'm thanking

for the Sunday school teachers, God, which you bless them in a mighty

way. Bless each and every one. Set a guard at their ears and

help them to hear what the Spirit of God saith under this church. God,

set a guard at my mouth, and help me say the thing that

you would have me to say. Nothing more or less, we pray God

that this people would hear and heed. Let these sayings go below the shoulders

and a saturate the soul and the spirit. We pray. We give you

the praise and honor to glory in Jesus' name. And the church says Amen.

And may we depart this place joyfully and not sorrowfully. Looking again at

first Samuel, chapter number two, verse number one, the Bible says,

and Hannah prayed and said, my heart rejoiceth in the Lord. Myne horn

is exalted in the Lord. My mouth is enlarged over mine enemies, because

our rejoice in Thy salvation. Our text is found in an Old Testament book

of the Holy Bible. This particular sacred writing informs the readers of events that

took place in the nation of Israel during the lifetimes of great men of God,

such as David Samuel and Nathan the Prophet. How many of you remember

hearing the name Nathan. How many of you know a little bit about Nathan

the prophet. He is the one that dared to walk into the throne room

of King David and point of bony finger in his space. And after David

refusing to accept the parable that had been presented to him, Nathan spoke very

plainly and said, David, you are the man that has sinned against God,

against your family, and against this nation. And so certainly the writings

of this particular book of the Bible should be more than informative. They should

be intriguing because of some of the characters and their lives that are recorded in

this writing. One of the most intriguing things about this particular book of the

Bible is the prophetic ministry of the man of God, the prophet of Jehovah

Samuel. He was spectacularly anointed. And I believe that the reign of King

David is remarkable and notable as well. We watched a powerful monarchy dissolved.

It became divided because of a rebellious and disobedient people going against God and following

their own hearts. I find this book of the Bible to be heartbreaking.

Some of the things that are recorded in this particular book has broke my heart

repeatedly over the years. I saw people that had such great potential not lived

to their potential. I saw people that were literally being cradled in the arms

of God become separated from the blessings of God upon their life, and so

on the heels of the prophetic ministry of the Prophet Samuel, we find a

monarchy and brother rope gap. It was divided very quickly after the Prophet Samuel

left the building, so to speak. But behind the Prophet Samuel there's a

noble, beautiful, sweet woman his mother named Hannah. Hannah had carried in

her womb and delivered under her people a once in a lifetime opportunity. Again,

Hannah had carried in her womb and delivered to her people a once in

a lifetime opportunity. Sisters, do you have a place in the family of

God? Sisters, do you have a purpose in this life? The testimony

and the song of Hannah is proof positive that you too can have a purpose

in this life. And you can pray and testifying seeing of the hot praises

of God, every person in this building can be blessed because of you and

your obedience. We find that every person of Hannah and her son Samuel's generation

were blessed. The nation of Israel was blessed because of this woman. They

were not only blessed, they were blessed mightily. They knew it. Their

enemies knew it. Before his conception and birth, Hannah had suffered immensely at

the hand of an unexpected enemy. How many of you understand what an unexpected

enemy is. Suddenly you discovered an enemy in your presence, and that enemy

that you identified as your nemesis was somebody that was very close to you,

somebody that shared intimacy with you. The Bible put it this way, a

familiar friend has lifted up their heel against me. And so prior to this

lesson, Hannah had suffered immensely at the hand of an unexpected enemy, her

husband's second wife, Banana. I preached a sermon a few years ago about

Hannah and Banana's few and it was titled Banana's Provocation. I believe brother Jesse

loved his wife loves that message not only because of the title, not only

because of one of the characters of that message. There's just something about that

message that related and resonated to her at that time, and it is true.

Against the wishes and the will of Hannah, there was a battle that

ensued between these two people that were very close. It was not a minor

conflict. No, this was not simply a family few. It was very

severe. And there's some of you in this building this morning. You are

experiencing squirmishes and conflicts in your life from unexpected sources and enemies, people that

you considered to be friends and that you know to be family. This particular

few between Handa and Panaa was more than the hat Field and the McCoy few.

It was more severe than that. However, in this case, Panana

was mostly at fault. If you'll study the family feud between the hat Field

and the McCoys, you will see that both at times were at fault.

But in the particular few that I want to speak of this morning, you'll

see that Panana was largely at fault. Her attempts to hurt hand were deliberate

and relie We can find multiple times as she threatened this wonderful woman of God,

this wonderful wife named Hannah. She provoked her by the jesse she threatened

her. I'm telling you that she was doing everything that she could to push

the buttons of Hannah. She wanted to destroy Hannah's faith in God and Hannah's

hope in God, but it was not successful. Her attempt at doing those

things were not successful. In fact, her doing this her provocation served as

the catalyst to the prayer that Hannah prayed. And after Hannah had requested God

to give her a child, her barrenness gave way to childbury and the result

was an ancient prayer and an input in her mother's in her arms nine months

later, an input who would become the messenger of Jehovah, the prophet Samuel,

because one woman went to the House of God, fell on her knees

and prayed in the spirit until her lips cleared and her tongue shook. And

the prophet amongst them said, surely this woman is a trunk woman. And

she said, count me not as a woman of belile. I am not

a trunk woman. I am a bearing woman that I'm asking God to give

me a child. But also what she was looking for was an opportunity to

tread on the thread. She was looking for an opportunity to overcome her enemies

against overwhelming odds. After all of these years of being unable to bear a

child, Suddenly a miracle had taken place in her life, and she had

something to pray out again, something to sing about again. In a New

Testament, you will find some of the same things happen to Jesus early on

in his ministry, and early on in the ministry of John. The badness

we find unexpected enemies surfacing the Lord Jesus and the Chard. The badness they

did not expect to find her enemies and religious leaders, and namely the Pharisees

describes and the saddest season, but the jesting they would have never thought the

suffer at the hands of such men who profess to be people of God.

You see, these men have sought an opportunity to destroy Jesus and to destroy

John the same way for Nina have sought out an opportunity to destroy the feelings

and crushed the heart of Hannah. Are talking to maybe only one or two

this morning. I know the most of you cannot relate to this message,

and your life is nothing more than just pure bliss. You don't know what

it is to be betrayed by a familiar friend. You don't know what it

is to have tambly turn it gets human burial dagger up to the half in

your fifth rim. You don't know what it is to lay away? Could

neither and say, well, ust me, how could it be that my

best friend for the child of my old lord's a roomb is my greatest persecutor

Jesus and Job. They suffered hostility between them and these Jewish religious leaders,

and it did not diminish, no impact. It increased over time the intensity

of the situation that was enormous, Sister Wootone. It did not let up

her who won't been He'll come on now, help me in this fielding this

morning, could say, Preacher, I get a little bit of reliefer e

from now and then. But as soon as I get a blessing, and

as soon as I get up, hover my kneesa and I walk the dust

off my l closer, and these here comes this nemesis. They're not a

nemesis of my old choosing. I don't believe that head Or woke up in

the morning asking her to be picked on, or the received verbal Trencher.

Oh no, I believe she was praying for Pisa. And while she was

praying for Pisa, if you would, her counterparty were seeking an opportunity for

war. I'm telling you sometimes those that you love the most it when you

sue piece. As the Bible said, they are in pursuited of Lord.

That's why I said, as much as life within you, live peaceable with

all men, as much as life within you, There's no doubt that lied

within head On, and it lied within Jesus, and it lied within Johnny

to live peaceableness with those people that weren't religious, and fat Panada wasn't religious.

Every year she would go with their husband and hear her children to the

temple. She would offer her operings just like these Jewish students would do her

in the days of Jesus. Oh yes, they'll go to churchill. They're

su their soldier, they're listening their preacher's preacher that for some reason the spirit

does not there witness with yours only the words of a man who has meft

within these United States used we have her a problem. Whenever tou cannot walcome

in agreement her or it occurring her, there is obviously a problem. Somewhere

the Bible said that my pride have come a contingent. My pride come with

that stressor and that stripe. You're stressed out, not because her of your

assens. Hey, I'm telling you this stopper in that situation, not because

him of your choosing. If you would it be pined to sky, it

be peaches and creamer, and everybody would get along, everybody would burst to

heaven. No hand in him. That I want you to know. Sometimes

when a true blue where again child of God, is in tune with Jesus,

there's gonna be those that are friend and tamily that do not want to

walk and step with you. They do not want to walk beside them.

It's simple, as the propert aim Us explain that in us writing and has

prophecy, there two cannot walk together unless they be agreed. And the reason

why that cord is being unraveled it is because there's less than tree, and

there's less than two. Yes, two could be better than one, and

a tree poclock could not be easily broken. But there's some doing everything that

can to dissolve unity. There's some doing everything that care to dissolve her harmony,

and you being a wonderful person that you walk. You wonder what have

I done wrong? Why is the happening? What can I do to make

it better? I want to show you in the word of Colling this sometimes

you do as much as you can't to their piece of man. But they

siping he don't want peace. I'm telling somebody man this morning, this not

your pap man. They made their bid, and you don't have to lie

in it. Theyre not be too left and one dead that want could be

taken out and one left in that pat of this. Now I'm telling you

you don't have to sleeper, and thisery you don't have to sleep. He

kind of deceive of talking. You don't have to sleep. Having been provoke

to, you can sleep for trust and peace and God. Just when we

thought they would go away, here it comes. It resurfaces to resurfaces.

I'm telling you there's nothing at all more heartbreaking than realizing you have experienced a

pain in your very own heart, and then when you come to you realize

that that person standing next to you must be associated with the pain. And

then you feel something war im trickling down your torso and you realize there's a

still blade buried up in your chest, and you think, surely that person

would never have harmed me. But yes they did, and it seems like

they enjoyed it. Oh, come on now. The religious leaders of Jesus'

day, they should not have been offended, but they were, and they

plotted his destruction and his death. They listened to a sermon to find something

wrong with what he was reaching and teaching. They were trying to listen to

him to see if he were blaspheing God and to praise himself. And Matthew

checker number ten and verses number thirty four through thirty eight, the Bible said,

ain't knocked, and I have come to send peace on earth. I

came not to send peace, but a sword that is the worser of Jesus.

Those are the worship of Jesus. And the sword that di viture.

Oh, come on now, is the spirit. And it's also the word

of God. These words will offend people. I'm not talking about your words.

I'm talking about the words of God that changes you as a person,

that requires you to live holy, that requires you to live separate, that

requires you to do what you know your God. They'll accuse you of abandoning

them. They'll accuse you of being the instrumental of separation. You are not

an instrumentation a separation in that family, and you are not the black sheep

who it is. It's nipocritsa with a religious circle, so that the stars

and a icatina and a wors that what cale to block it is, sir,

And I'm telling you you won't time me sitting down there at the chest

man play a religious tinser with a religious hippocritsa. They'll come on, now,

this is not a o game alive being new by manipulation, that the

sense of And they're not to manipulate me fornam trying to manipulate the mind of

Hannah. The provocations and the threats were relentless, Jesus went on in that

tenth chapter Saint Matthew's Gospel, we hear Jesus saying, for I am come

to set a man at variants against his father, and the daughter against her

mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a

man's folle shall be they of his own household. He that loveth father or

mother more than me is not worthy of me. And he that love a

son or daughter more than me is not worthy love me. Do you know?

The Lible said, Jesus came unto his own, and his own received,

and not if you would, he came to dinner on the ground,

if you would. He came to the family homestead. He walked through the

gate, and look kicks him was typing. I'm telling you in the kitchen

was and as in the kitchen they were doing everything that he and commissioned him

the news the sacrifice was taking place. The ofference would be an offer,

but he was not to receive. They'll come home now. At least the

father received the podical son, and there was a graying, welcoming way and

a recessing way when the son came in. What the truth is? Not

every religious person, even those a professor could be holding us a been a

costeorda. We're gonna offer you a warm reception when you come home. I'm

telling somebody in this household, it's always been this way. If there was

this way for Jesus, there would be the same way for you. Unfortunately,

where the prince of Piece himself king, shouldn't there be a peace of

earth? The angels of heaven saying good will and peace on earth. Shouldn't

there be peace on earth? Shouldn't everybody be getting along? Shouldn't never think

to be a okay? Should never think me all right? I'm telling you.

Sometimes whilst find themselves in opposition to husbands and husbands find themselves in our

positions. Tosh. I'm glad that when I got saved, my wife did

not decide to go another way. But I'm reminded of brother Monroe Jackson.

He said that whatever he pulled that eighteen wheeler off the side of the road

there on the highway. He said, he got out, walked into try

room in a costal church, and I believe he told me he said that

brother Benny Sutherland or someone was preaching, and he said the old drunkard and

the old club answer. God saved and God sanctified. He went home and

told his wife our foul religion. How now in a relationship with Jesus as

well. I believe he went on to say, Brother Jacob that he told

her I've changed partners. I'm no longer that's him with the devil, I'm

nts him with Jesus. And she lifted him with a straight face, and

she's sitting by protection. Are you saying you're not gonna go drinking with me

again? Are you not gonna go cutting with me again? Are you not

gonna gonts with me again? He said, that's what I've said, And

she said, well, I won't see you again, and she left him.

There's teamle in this building. He lisis her left him because they fell

in love with God. In this fellowship and in this harmony was not of

their choosing. It was the choices. Say that. Somebody answer, and

I'm filling somebody. You're gonna pray again, You're gonna shot heaven? You're

what I have? No? Yeah, well, passing tread treat A truc

may come. But I want you to know what your enemy don't know.

The Tessa over rock be calls ing you. So I said, have you

got hold on where you arise? You will tread over a thread your enemy,

AmAm Amen. That's our Lord's words. They that love with any family

member more than me, they're not worthy of me. I know the followers

of Jesus Christ will sometimes suffer persecution. In fact, everyone that I've ever

known at some point has been persecuted. I know, that followers of Jesus

Christ will get along with one another to the best of their ability. But

I know that religious people will struggle in this area. Panita dead, Kyphas

dead as dead. But Nicodemus didn't. Neither did Joseph of Arimathea. Neither

did Peter. For every hypocrite, there is a Peter. I'm telling you,

for every threat, there is a promise for the child of God.

There are people in thisbulity that are suffering at the mouth and the hands of

people that would not put on a pair of pants. I'm talking about a

woman, and there are women that would not cut their hair persecuting you.

That would have been Penina's case. I'm telling you, brother Jesse, she

would have been living the letter of the law perfectly, and she would have

been the role model Christian. In fact, seemingly she's probably the deacon's wife.

And there she is behind the scenes. Pinon owner, Hannah, I'm

telling you it's your pastor, God. Let me hear a little bit of

what you're needing with her behind the scenes. And the verses helped me.

The verses of your enemy that is strengthing you. It at me and I

searched this concerns after God spoke to me to preach to you, treading on

the threat in the future, you will noe longer. He bothered by that

poem called a maker, by that thrector. They naker you want me not

to travernial water trumper after duns back. It will not take a pact.

It will not penetrate to you, because Jesus said, if they got it

to me, they're good to you. You're no better than he is.

I'm not looking for this plichipher. I'm not looking for this association. I'm

not looking for this harmony that if the walk to Separator didn't let thee I

said in that great coping, your heart ain't for him. He you just

seem like care you put the reason God. He just they're preaching between your

horn that he is. He's been because of the fribble body did he his

hard telling you I can try to run them all right, He's been in

a hard looking but all time they'll try to make it out to be that

you're the black sheep when named. No, the truth, Jesus was not

the black sheep. John the Baptism was not the black sheep. He was

the holy ghost field Christian. Should I keep preaching that, shouldn't go house

and chicken. I'd like to beat the Baptist the chicken house, but I

don't know that the Holy girls wants to beat him there there, wants us

to clean up after them. And that's what the hole of his people have

been doing for years, clean up after He's false teachers. Now help me

clean up their mess. They're saying, every child of God will get along,

let me take him. That's true. If they are a child of

God, we have they're a professor child of God. No matter how religious

Captas is, he just can't stand the preaching of Jesus. He just can't

stand the ministry. They're chiding the Baptis. Oh my Jesus, I feel

a holy ghost in this place. You know, Naven, he was trying

to be a peaceaful man. He instilled peace in the heart of Israel.

In fact, he unified the kingdom. But in one particular instance, the

summer said, I am for peace, but when I speak, they are

for war. It's true that we have uncovered unexpected enemies of during our Christian

journey. It's like, what's that? Oh my, No, of course,

look reveals her. It's somebody is septing them. He's never inspecting him.

You're suspecting them. Oh my, what's captor? Who's that telling me?

It'll be okay to trim my hair? The little Ben'll be okay to

watch her come be mer king t by the hole in the students then looking

of custom movements instead allowed. That's her retreat her. He's allowing that her.

I'm talking about her. I'm expecting it a me. So they rise

up. Then they told Daggers I can true chilling the God and they might

call abody else stay pucking. Then the tell amaker listen, ah the watch.

What's not tell a baker? Do you all? Is that? I'm

turning away? That's the vider, the king, the hip prefar you divided

the king me having Tessabelle we hear idolatry is nothing new. There won't us

to put things between us and God. Sister work, I'm gonna tread on

the threat. It's true holiness. It don't have to be old time holiness,

because if he defined his old time, then supposedly there's a new time.

It's holiness. It's the same right now as it was in the days

of John Wessell. And it's the same in the days of John Wessell as

it was in the days of Peter. And if it ain't holiness, and

it ain't separated, and it ain't sanctified, it ain't Pentecostal. It's a

religion, for it's a form of Godness, but it ain't got the power

of Pentecostal. I'm talking to some pinkle. You're gonna tread over the threat

of compromise. You're gonna tread They're gonna expect you to seek in the click

saying, oh the thought doctrines aren't teaching to but to go to tread on

serpent, I said her. We're gonna tread her on serpet the copper papers

their surpriser. You under this, that's the trouble from each other to the

promised lander. When my did my serpenter to another mind tent, that's where

then we will look to the crosser and we'll kept on. We'll keep on

tread neger threat p I said, well, I keep away treat then the

threat. I'm not gonna turn Baca, I'm not gonna look back. I

will never be her. This sequel to the member lot's life. I said

that I will never be happy to go back to Happy, to look at

Macao, to lands hero yesteryear Gott expected him. I didn't expect it to

be this one. I didn't expect it to be my pastor that I had

for forty years. I didn't expect it to be that great man of God,

woman of God. I didn't expect them and tell me just a little

ruse will do there's a little plastic on the lips to do. Oh my

Jesus, I didn't expect it to be my pastor's wife to tell me I

have an experienceive with some of you have. It's okay to get into tan

and booth. I'll tell you the way to get your high. Ten go

down here on a private beach on the shores of the Gulf of Mexico,

and ten your hands and ten your feet. That's about all it needs to

be. Ten And if you need something else ten come to the Bethel hole

in his shirt or ten and hides every summer morning or the Sunday night forever.

Wednesday night, I'm gonna fearing a hole of ghost treating on the threat.

We've lost some sleep because of the threats. We've lost some sleep because

of the threats. Even if you do this, I'm gonna backslide. If

you do this, I'm gonna kill myself. That's time. What ted up

the frut? If you read us long about sliding, it's time to tad

ho go tray call I feel the Holy do so here in this homeiness she

let's reflect on the words of Sister Hannah, who wanted the victory over her

enemy again tonight. I should have been her best friend. But Banana chose

to make herself hand his enemy. And in our text, our gold text,

Handah said my heart rejoicing in the Lord. Yeah. Happy you're not

going to touch again. Yeah. Happy to be in a spirit feeling church

with a spirit led leadership. Yeah. Plad to be able to say I

can be in the presence or coll taking loud Hannah ship my heart, but

Joseph in the larity. My hord is exalted in the Lord. My mouth

is in large over mine enemies and rather than your As I was reading a

text, I to go delt with me about this during the night, I

thought about title big math praises. Now who's the big mouth to not pay

hair? Is she said, my mouth is ill. Lord, I'm no

longer a prince sal prayers and momsa in the spirit having Then I said,

no, my mind is over crist that's being us. I to get it

out. Then I praise in God. Then I wasn't for God. I'm

telling somebody that you ought to be a big mother, par Royal. Iid

trust in thy salvation. Hanser, what's the big deal you had a baby?

Oh no, I had more than a baby. Well, the Philip

just looking at you. What's the big deal? You just had a baby.

But I have seen that that baby is a blessing that has changed his

life all ready. Come on, now, Panaa was a formidable food,

but she wasn't greater than Hannah's. God, let me stink of us wonderful

people who are here today. I've seen firsthand the horror of warfare. You're

in my lifetime. I've ambasted in the blessings of God, and I've also

tasted the bitter more sols of betrayal. I've experienced the seeking feeling of watching

fellow Christian soldiers beer to the left and beer to the right. I've seen

him come to a streeching heart and cease their pursuit of the fiding truth and

righteousness. I've heard of them saying they're talking in tongues of longer relevant for

people this generation simply because they lost her what they watch had and they won't

learn the five point back. And so it's easy just to discredit for that

experience. Oh come on, but there's a checkers in this Bible that has

comforted me many times as I have experience to the uprising and the suffacing of

the unexpected enemy. And how WoT you and Methal preachers and dear Mechel family

remember this, I said. One of my favorite chapters in the book of

the Bible is in the Bible is Psalm ninety one. I appreciate this wonderful

church family. I appreciate her, my wonderful colmy family. But the only

real sourcer of protection, security and strength that I have is in our Lord

to Jesus Christ. Aren't you glad to be part of the family. Aren't

you glad to be a member of this family? Somebody asked me recently,

said am I a member of this church? I said, well, we

don't have official membership, but if you're faithfully attending this church. You are

a member of the family of God. Hannah was definitely a member of her

husband's family, and Fania was definitely part of that family, but she had

been disappointed in her family. Am I preaching anybody today you ever been disappointed

in your family? Immediate family, church, family, work, family?

But you know what, Hannah found help in the Lord. First John four

and four John to Love had said to the church, he said, you

are of God little children, and have overcome them, because greater is he

that is in you than he that is in the world. Listen, someone

may choose to be your enemy, and they may decide to not let you

in their world, and they mistreat you, and they threaten you. They

may threaten see I'm telling you, they threaten you relentlessly, and it increases

with intensity. But brother Tyler, though they may not let me in the

world, it's okay because this world is not my home. And I do

not love the things of the world and the things that are in the world,

because the love of the things of the world, the love of the

Father in me. They may choose to torment you relentlessy, But remember God

is in you, and they are in the world, and the world is

in them. So when they don't let you in their world, just remember

you're in God's world, and God is greater. No matter what you face,

he is able to deliver and defend you. So I'm twenty five two

and three our brother red our code text, Oh my God, you shouldn't

use the Lord's name in a And that's where this expression comes from, right

here in the twenty fifth som Oh my God. And that expression has always

followed with a prayer. I trust indeed, let me not be ashamed.

Let not mine enemies triumph over me. Yeah. Let none that wait on

me be a shame. Let them not be a shame. Which trust indeed,

Nada was no longer breathing down handles neck, Brother Jesse, when you

come to the pimp and I want to tell somebody, God showed me the

one that you love, who considers themselves to be your enemy. You pray

for them, you bless them, you treat them good, even though they

treat you ill, and they despotuby, use you and even abuse you.

You pray for them. But they're not always going to be breathing down your

neck. Were threatening, sir, The enemy had come after Hannah, because

the enemy knew with the blessing that was going to come through the enemy knew

that Hannah was the conduit the blessing the nation of Israel through the prophetic ministry

of saying, or could it be that right now you're suffering because of the

blessing it come through you. And so moy and Dad, they don't understand

why the radical change. They don't understand why the sanctification of your why the

separation, why the deliberance. And that's what Hannah was saying, I rejoiced

in the salvation. Trust me, I'm being picked on right now, but

in the future, you're gonna thank me that I had a relationship with God.

My dear mother in law when we first went into a separated lifestyle.

We're friends of the people of this world. We work in this world.

We don't make enemies. But she took it as abandonment. She took it

as isolation. Even though we intermingle, we go to work, we go

to shopping. We don't live in a commune, we don't live in a

convent. We're not members of a cult. But she just couldn't understand that

if the family went to wiki watche we weren't going. If they were going

to the water park, we weren't going. She couldn't understand if they were

going to the movie house, why we weren't going any longer. But then

ten years later came a sweep text. And now thirty years later came another

sweet text two days ago, and she said, Charity, you and Jeremy

have done a wonderful job building a beautiful family, and I'm so thankful that

y'all surrendered to the calm with the will of God for y'all's life. And

and Elizabeth, when she was here, she caught me over there on the

side of the church and she said, Jeremy, I want you to know

I didn't fully understand all of it. Did although let me tell you she

did admit later she was raised this way even though she wanted it. Actually

she didn't know anything about it. She admitted, she was raised this way.

You'll be surprised people know more than they let on. But in Philip

and Elizabeth's way, she told me, she said, I didn't really understand

it at the time, she said, but it all makes sense now.

You and Charity went to South Florida. It's just far enough a way to

make it hard for all of us to keep in touch like you would like

to. But now when I look around and see this beautiful church family,

the beautiful work that God is doing in this area, it all makes sense.

Now. Now, what about when the prophet Sam will begin to prophesy,

where are you now, Banana, let's stand, where are the threats

now? And I want to close with this by telling you all, you're

not wrestling against flesh and blood. Those people, they are not your enemy.

It's the spirits that are manipulating and controlling those people. The Bible said,

we don't wrestle against flesh and blood, but we wrestle against spiritual wickedness

in our places. Brother Sam, Jehannah's days of being bullied and threatened were

over. And I want to conclude with this treading on the threat can be

done by and begin with this praying too and worshiping the father that is training

on the threat with a big mouth of praise. I thank you, Lord,

and I praise you. That's what the Bible said. And Handah pray.

And she goes on to say to her enemies, what about me?

Now, let's bow our heads this morning? Could we do that? Are

you that one that would say the enemy of my soul has been breathing down

by Nick and I have been persecuted and provoked relentlessly. Your companion, your

spouse, your friend, your parents may not know about it, but you

raise your hand? Is that you? One? Two, three, four?

Five? Is there another? Six? Seven? Is there one?

More? Different hands went up this morning than what more to go up?

Eight? Is there one more? Nine? I honestly felt like there's a

tenth flint. That's how it felt. There's the tenth ont Now can we

find a place to pray wherever that is? And when you begin treading on

the threat just by praying too with worship and the Father just right in the

face of your enemies, to tread on the threat. Yeah, let's say,

keeping them What a praise? She just talked her boy short. She

is the all should say for the lady car Why should I sick the nose

away? And God a bit higher and the start and this family, willing

Lord right out of this family and my hands and praise the Lord. Ain't
