-
With you this morning your copy of God's Holy Word. Would you turn with
-
me to the Book of Exodus, and may I direct your attention to the
-
second chapter. We will be reading the twenty third through the twenty fifth verse.
-
Brother Nathaniel, codtex Psalm chapter number thirty four and verse number six,
-
Brother Jesse Verse Peter, chapter number three and verse number twelve. We'll try
-
to get you out of here in about an hour. How many fills in
-
an hour of preaching is too long? Well, not a soul in the
-
building, so we'll try not to keep it any longer than one hour.
-
You remember what Jesus told his disciples when he hosted that prayer meeting in the
-
garden Agassemine. He said, could you not watch with me one hour?
-
So we've had I think forty five minutes of Sunday school, about forty minutes
-
of morning worship, and now about an hour of preaching. I may be
-
off on those estimated times, but I do appreciate the opportunity to be in
-
his house on his day. How many of you know the scripture does teach
-
that this is his day, and I know every day is his day,
-
but this is a day set aside to honor him and to hear from the
-
Lord. May we hear from the Lord today, Brother Nathaniel, Salm chapter
-
number thirty four and verse number six. Listen carefully. This poor man cried,
-
and the Lord heard him and saved him out of all his troubles.
-
How many of you believe if you cry out unto the Lord, he hears
-
you, and he's willing to deliver you out of your distresses, Brother Jesse,
-
Verse Peter, chapter number three and verse number twelve. For the eyes
-
of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open to their
-
prayers. But the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.
-
Wow, I'm glad that the Lord is listening to our cries and that his
-
ears are attentive and open to our prayer. I'm glad, Sister Wooton,
-
that he has and awareness of us in our needs. Let's stand for the
-
reading of our golden text again. Exodus chapter number two, Verses number twenty
-
three through twenty five. The Bible says, and it came to pass in
-
process of time that the King of Egypt died, and the children of Israel
-
signed by reason of the bondage. And they cried, and their cry came
-
up unto God by reason of the bondage, and God heard their groaning,
-
and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac and with Jacob, and
-
God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had respect unto them.
-
Let's pray together, Please Heaven, if Father, we love it, We
-
praise you. We thank you for the opportunity to be in your house.
-
We thank you for this, thy people. I pray that you would say
-
of God at their ears, and help them to hear what it is the
-
spirit of God says under this church this point, and bless them in a
-
body way. I pray that you would ant this, thy servant said it,
-
guard in my mouth, and help me to say only the things that
-
you would have me to say. Nothing more less. We pray God,
-
that you would help these words to go below the shoulder. Let them get
-
in the spirit and the soul, not in the mind only. Don't let
-
them go in one ear and out the other, but let them saturate our
-
entire being. Let us not here only, but let us heed. We
-
pray God that you would help each and every one in this building. And
-
may they depart this place joyfully and not sorrowfully. In Jesus' naming, the
-
church says, hey, man, look at your neighbor and say, hey,
-
neighbor, we have a delivering savior for desperate souls. I want to
-
preach a message the Holy Ghost titled Heaven's Hotline. Heaven's Hotline. Our text
-
is found in an Old Testament book of the Holy Bible, the Book of
-
Exodus. This book of the Bible provides the readers of it with important details
-
about the the lifestyles and life events of the children of God, including those
-
of Moses, Miriam, and Aaron. How many of you recognize the names
-
of those biblical characters, Moses, Miriam, and Aaron. In this particular
-
book of the Bible, you will find many events that took place in those
-
precious people's lives. Life itself was not easy on those three individuals who were
-
siblings. Again, life itself was not easy on those three siblings, even
-
though they were Levites, they were special people. They were chosen by God
-
to be leaders amongst God's people. But if you'll read this particular book of
-
the Bible, you will find that life will not easy owned him. I've
-
taught the Howell children that life is not fair, and that life can be
-
very cruel, and unfortunately, circumstances and situations change life, sometimes for the
-
better, and sometimes they change life for the worse. And so among the
-
details of these Hebrew people's life, we find in this sacred writing one very
-
important detail, and the title of this book mentions that important details Exodus.
-
God's people were exiting the land of Egypt, or leaving the land of their
-
captivity. You see, the Lord God had told the children of Israel to
-
get up and to lead the land of Egypt. It was no longer a
-
land of blessing for them. It was now a bird. And look at
-
your neighbor and say, hey, are you burdened or are you blessed?
-
I feel like there's some people in this building this morning that would throw up
-
their hands and shout out, I am blessed, while others would silently pray
-
and utter these words, I am burdened. And I want to preach this
-
morning to that person that is burden, that person that has found themselves in
-
an unpleasant situation. And so here in this particular book of the Bible,
-
we find that the children of God are no longer content living within the borders
-
of Egypt. They are no longer content living inside of the land of their
-
captivity. I feel like there's people in this building this morning that are no
-
longer happy living the life that they're leading. They're no longer happy in sin.
-
The Bible said that sin is ealth. Can be pleasurable for a moment
-
or for a season, but after a while, it will no longer be
-
pleasant. I'm thinking of some people in my life in days gone by,
-
this set out to do something they thought that they would enjoy, only to
-
find it later to be a bitter morsel in their mouth. They would say
-
later, it was not what I expected, it was not what I went
-
out looking for, and they became burned because they found it to be a
-
situation of bondage. There's been people that have got into romantic relationships that they
-
thought would have been a pleasant adventure, only to find that they are burned
-
with that person because of the cruelty of that person. I want to preach
-
to you, if you'll hang tight right here this morning, you'll see that
-
this land of Egypt is no longer a land and of sustenance. It is
-
a land of slavery. I'm telling you the prodigal son went out into the
-
far country, the Bible says, and after that he had got into that
-
far country, he found out that it was not a land of sustenance.
-
It was a land of slavery. But when you're in the perfect will of
-
God and in the Father's house, you will find it to be a land
-
or a place of sustenance. The prodigal son came to his senses, and
-
he said, I realized that there is bread enough and to spare in my
-
father's house. There's some people in this building that would throw up pans and
-
say, I feel like I'm living in the land of bread. I feel
-
like I'm in the house of brand I am so blessed. While there'd be
-
other people that would utter these words, I feel like compound. I feel
-
I converurning today to those people I'm preaching. How many people here today know
-
of someone who is stuck in a lifestyle of sin? Hapn of you know
-
somebody that is stranded on an island of despair? Heaven? If you know
-
somebody that is found to shapels of their own sin, I do many of
-
you in this building this morning are living in bondage to sin. The Book
-
of Exodust lets the stone that the Lord Jesus desires to keep each one.
-
He desires to help each one. He desires to help each one escape their
-
slavery to sin. If they be in such a state as this, If
-
every person who is found by sin would obey the voice of the Lord and
-
follow him, he would grant them a spiritual exodust from their land of captivity.
-
It is true, in the land of Egypt there is no freedom.
-
You can ask the drug user and the drug abuser that out there in that
-
world, it is a land of captivity. They call hotline after hotline looking
-
for help. In this country. When someone finds themselves in a crisis,
-
there are many places and people that a person can turn to for help.
-
There's a variety of servicesm there's a service for the unwin mother that's a precarious
-
situation. There is a service for that person that is contemplating suicide. There
-
is a hotline for somebody that is bound by drug addiction, somebody to suffering
-
with depression. There is a hotline for every crisis in this blaicit country.
-
But you know what, sometimes we find out that the secular hot line is
-
not enough. When we hang up and they hang up on the other end
-
of the line, there really is a disconnection. You see the loneliness and
-
in despair and a distress comes back. It seems like a rebounds with fury.
-
It comes back to us and gets right in our face and tremis a
-
stay road in the hul of Israel. I'm going to bully you. You
-
sought help, and I'm gonna increase your sorrow. I'm gonna increase your labor.
-
I'm gonna increase the turmola in your life. I thank God that we
-
live in these United States of America. Truly, this is the greatest country
-
on the planet. But I do know according to our texture here this morning,
-
that include ImpACTA turned into one of the worst places over planet. The
-
Bible spoke of that country that would knowledge God, that it would be impressed
-
people, and it also strengthy of that country that would present God and turn
-
us back on God. That in time, eh, it would turn into
-
hell beeding, a place where you do not want to be. That's what
-
happened to the children of Israel. They have went to the land there of
-
Egypt, and they have been brest. Initially, everything there is going good,
-
but they fired themselves in and a time when they need heaven they support
-
again. I want to tell somebody there in this building today that sometimes have
-
the hot lives here of this world and are not going to cut it for
-
us. You can call that number so many times until you memorize and that
-
there's somebody on the other end of the line there that means well, they've
-
got a heart that wants to help you, man, that might even cry
-
with you, and they'll do what they care to encourage you. But I
-
want you to know there's a hot line there the devil does not want anybody
-
to know about. And this generation has been robbed there of the number.
-
They have no idea of the blessedness of the book. They have no idea
-
of the blessedness of the writings of this book. But they have no idea
-
of the power of the poacher scene of the blood of Jesus. You see,
-
the devil has taken this number, which is a royal telephone number,
-
and when you dial that number, it will get you to heaven. The
-
devil's done what he could to hide that number. That I'm telling somebody there
-
under the sound of my bossness part in health. That God's got a number
-
that you can call. I'm telling somebody, prayer is availab the support of
-
this world. It's not always enough. I did not say that they do
-
not help. Sometimes sometimes a little bit and sometimes a lot. That busting
-
the time, it is not enough. I want you to know, whatever
-
your need is, he you have support that you've got. Heaven's here,
-
Heaven is listening to your prayer. All you've got to do is hope for
-
yourself and pray. We prime in our texture that these people had a desire
-
to escape the slavery, to sin. There's somebody in this building today.
-
I have felt your burden. I have heard your prayer. I've heard your
-
crime that I want you to turn it from go and hoo inside on into
-
the years. And her brothers and sisters and father say than others who knows
-
the other of hot line say that I want you to current in opera and
-
learn how to sin now, just like Jesus still addressing the heaven, the
-
Father, our father, man, you're child of heaven. How they would
-
be A name will come home now? The Bible said the name of the
-
Lord is a strong tower, the righteous one, the doing that had not
-
seen. There's appalling to me. The children of this generation, they do
-
not know the name of Jesus, and they do not know the power of
-
the name of Jesus. In ar Texas pipe that the fair brother do Moses,
-
the fair brother do Joseph. He is dead now. He did not
-
know her. These people of God. He didn't care anything there about them.
-
I want you to know her. God knows your name. Lord and
-
God Man, what's a god true one? A preach to me to here
-
this morning. If every person who is bound by sin, which is simply
-
obeyed the voice of the Lord, I can hear the voice of the Lord
-
saying joy is coming in the morning. I can hear the voss of the
-
Lord saying, weep and may endure for the night, but joy is coming
-
in the morning. Light. God would grant that person that would cry out
-
unto him a spiritual exodust from the land of their captivity. It is true,
-
in the land of Egypt there is no freedom. It is shrew that
-
in the land of Egypt there is no liberty, there is no peace.
-
At this time, there is no rest. But that would follow the Lord.
-
He would be leading them on into the promised land. If you look
-
at our text again, the Bible said, and it came to pass them
-
in the process of time that the king of Egypt died, and the children
-
of Isral sided by reason of their bondage. And they cried, look at
-
your neighbors, say neighbor, And they cried, can you cry, ay
-
man? The Bible said, And their cry came up under God. Why
-
where they're crying? The Bible offers an explanation. It gives us an answer
-
because of their bondage. And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his
-
covenant with Abraham, with the Isaacca, with Jacob, and God looked upon
-
the children of Israel, and he had respect unto them. I feel like
-
the eyes of God are in this place, right here this morning you were
-
coming today. After reading the verses of our gold in text, I can
-
say that that Israel Lza would not enjoying life at this time. It was
-
unpleasant the Bible readers and the Bible students know her that they had not always
-
been moaning, that had not always been loaning, that had not always been
-
experiencing her, and in earing unpleasant circumstances, had back Ben Joseph and Troll
-
invited him into the land of Egypt. It was all teachers of cream.
-
If you will just go down there and put there some tense states, put
-
up us tina, and just lived there in the land of Gshen. It
-
was not always a time of morning. It was not always a time of
-
groaning and criying. You could ask for the prodigal son that we read about
-
him a New testamenty. When he went away, it was a time of
-
partying. It was a time of woman eyes. It was a time of
-
cornicating. Now it was a time of revere. It was a time of
-
debckery. That the Bible said at the end of the day. Now so
-
the speaking was miserable that he found himself in the hog pill. Now that
-
come on. Now he finally realize, I'm I supposed to be here.
-
I didn't plan for this. It ain't always couldn't like this, say I
-
want to tell somebody tonight, man, it is not always gonna be like
-
this. If you will take the ancient rapper that called him to intront of
-
you, I said, I saw him the anxious signing in my sleep last
-
night. That was the call. It's not would be somebody there that excellent,
-
sir, I'm telling you all you got to do. It's calling it
-
the name of the Lord that called he Heaven's hotline, that Heaven will.
-
As I'm preaching, I'm trying to follow two points. My mental outline is
-
first, there must be an acknowledgement of a need. Secondly, there must
-
be a motivation for action. I cried out whenever I was distressed. I
-
cried out, and things shifted for the better. I cried out and things
-
took a turn for the better. Are you're praying for me church this morning?
-
And just watching? I'm telling you there's somebody in this fielding that is
-
very needful. They have a need. They're full of need. This message
-
is needful for somebody in this place. So the children of God, they
-
cried out to the Lord. This generation feels like they prayed when they were
-
little kids. They cried out once, and there's never a need again.
-
The Bible said, these boys and girls and daddies and mamas and elders were
-
all crying out unto the Lord. You're in this unpleasant situation and circumstances,
-
and they begin to mow and they begin to growl because of these unpleasant circumstances.
-
I've read many verses in the Bible concerning israel sarcher in Egypt, and
-
not many of them review it in a negative light. In fact, the
-
overall consensus by the Biblical writers of achers is this that it was the plan
-
of God and the will of God for them to be in Egypt for a
-
space of time. In fact, God had told Abraham many years prior that
-
they would go to Egypt in order to be sustained. But come on,
-
now, now we're reading of a time when an innocent working it is out
-
working out and it's just not cutting it. Oh, come on this,
-
somebody right now willing to be honest and saying, I thought I would go
-
out there, I thought things would improve to the matter, I thought it
-
would be pleasant, only to find out it's not a pleasant relationship. It's
-
not all the God in the Battle of chips. It's not a wonderful fling.
-
Now, why did I trade the House of God for the house of
-
pleasure? Why would I trade my dear geesus air for tuess for Come on,
-
now, somebody listen to their preacher. Man, Now you mustn't knowledge
-
your in need. That's the problem with people today, They won't call the
-
secular hotline. Now, that's what's wrong with their miss celebrities who committed suicide,
-
That's not what's wrong now with median influencers who commit a suicide. Man,
-
they did not call on the neighbor of the Lord. They did not
-
reach out to the right person. I'm telling you this learning you're in the
-
right place. You're in that company for the right person. Now, what's
-
in need, and that's pressent. That's what I did thirty one years ago.
-
I acknowledge my need. I'm needed and I'm in need of a savior.
-
I'm in unpleasant circumstances. Some of these things I may be experiencing because
-
of other people's choices. But now it's gonna be my choice that gets me
-
out. If you stay in Egypt, spiritually speaking, if you stay in
-
the land of your captivity and the land of your bondage, it is because
-
you chose to be there. If you did not receive help, it is
-
because you chose not to call on Heaven's hot line. Oh my Jesus,
-
this morning, I've read many verses where Egypt was spoken of as being a
-
place of blessing, for the children of Israel. But then the time came,
-
Brother Nathaniel, when they no longer had their own land in that place.
-
They no longer had the land of ghost and the call home. They
-
no longer owned their own homes. They were no longer resting well, they
-
were no longer eating well. In fact, Ghoshan is now a burden to
-
be living there. It is a burden. It is no longer a blessing
-
that was then, But this is now. I'm not talking about that first
-
pluff. I'm not talking about that first hit. I'm not talking about that
-
first one, not stand. I'm not talking about the first of this and
-
the first of that prodical son in that far country. I'm not talking about
-
the first of the forbidden in the far country. I'm talking about now,
-
right now, how he is? Is it pleasing? Oh? Come on?
-
Do you feel wholesome? Do you feel pure? Weal, dear peace,
-
so in your soul, not fristead in the land of tons? But
-
now who out now? What this all? Don't talk about how you feel
-
when you pray when you were eight years old. Well, I'm talking about
-
right now. Sorry, honey, I'm run. How do you feel right
-
now? The scriptures before us today show us the situations can take a turn
-
for the worse. The Lord had hardened the heart of favor, and he
-
chose to ruthlessly oppress the Israelites with forced hard labor. How many of you
-
know the Bible sin? The sin is a hard taskmaster. Oh yes,
-
the works of the wicked have their rewards, yes they do, but they
-
are not pleasant rewards. And we find that this hard labor. This bring
-
us to our second point. It was strong motivation to take action. I
-
know of one particular man when he found out his wife was expecting their first
-
child. He looked at his drug use and abuse, and he said,
-
this is no way to be living as I raise a child in this cruel
-
world. And he went home, not to a church, it was a
-
church day. He went home and made an altar at the end of his
-
bed, and he prayed. And he got delivered right then and there.
-
He didn't have to call a hot linar. They prayed. He got delivered
-
from alcoholism and drug use and abuse. That he is now an adult Sunday
-
school class teacher and a pedecostal and a holiness church. Oh, come on,
-
And he said in the way of the transgressor is hard, hasn't said
-
in the Word of God. But now he's living the good life. You
-
see, there was periods of in their lives when things were unpleasant. There
-
were long days and long nights and long hours. The heartening of Pharaoh's heart
-
to turn their situation upside down and calls him to feel hopeless, Sir,
-
that I want to tell somebody this morning, this feeling hopelessnes it is not
-
a hopeless situation. It is time working in you b to real and the
-
view of his good pleasure. The Lord had told Abraham that this would happen.
-
The Lord had told Abraham that his descendants would be a slave for four
-
hundred years. This parallels to the Father telling the son Jesus that Lucifer would
-
seduce Adam and Eva in the garden and that they would live and burdened by
-
the sin help captivity by the sin, that Jesus would come to liberate them.
-
The Bible sending God is not willing that any supera sir, that also
-
says that the Lord came to save people from this sin, not in the
-
sin, not to comfort the eye of tall wadings, but to comfort him
-
through and by deliverance. I'm telling you God Miess not have to escort you
-
to alcoholics, anonymous Godess not have to walk you to a hot lound heckling
-
on. Now, I'm telling you that Cod will he will walk you now
-
to the altar. If he'll take the first step. If he'll not to
-
move, God will part the sea in your life and help you reach the
-
promised lander. Or if I could just bring every bound person to the House
-
of God and lead them to the promised land, to the altar, a
-
promise where there's deliverance or there's hope, where there's rescue for those that are
-
experiencing long hours and long nights. I know what it is from personal experience
-
to have good health and then find a turn of events concerning my health,
-
and to find myself finding to maintain good health. I have been through tribals
-
in my life where all I could do was cry on the name of the
-
Lord. I'm talking about long hours, long nights, and long days.
-
Come here, brother Philip. I can't remember what month it was, maybe
-
the month that you lie of twenty twenty three. When I was getting ready
-
to leave my house, he pulled me to the side and he said,
-
Dad, I want to tell you. He said, I've been diagnosed with
-
one of the most extreme types of cancer, a very rare, aggressive type
-
of cancer. I may have five years to live if everything goes good,
-
but I could have only a year depending on how this goes. And brother
-
Philips stay right here. We had to call on the name of the Lord.
-
I came to church that night. I did not call in sick,
-
even though I felt sick. I did not give up the ministry, even
-
though I had questions of why my baby boy of six children was smitting with
-
cancer. It did not make me hat God. It made me hate the
-
testmaster of the devil that brought all this sin and sickness and disease into this
-
world. I don't know why so many people are blaming God the sweetness and
-
sin. It's selfishness that is the blame. It's sin. It's satan that
-
is the blame. I'm telling you. But what we did, we acknowledged
-
her. In no, we said God, just when everything was going good,
-
just when you were blessing to church, just when we were experiencing growth,
-
just whenever we felt like things were timely coming better. Now, all
-
this what we did was but no, that's her need and it activated us
-
to motivation. We prayed about it, We cried about it heaven. We
-
called under the name of the Lord that about his grace. He's received me.
-
He's cancers, doll, He's not he I said he There ain't no
-
hot live loney. You can call and we went giving there body tramp on
-
us came here. Lets don't let us know. Help back for help to
-
the law. I can call those Jesus anytime. Right in the middle of
-
some here aggressive treatments, his hair began to grow back because when he cried
-
out to God and cast out cancer in the name of Jesus. He cried
-
up to God. God gave him a sign, I will cause your hair
-
to grow immediately. The next day, me not knowing nothing, I saw
-
him at the Log Cabin barbecue restaurant. He took his hat off to scratch
-
his head. You know why he was scratching his head. Brother's hair was
-
growing just like to hear it. Hairs in my ear from trimming the last
-
day. He said, be doing that my ear canals said. He just
-
kept scratching that head fine, and I looked. I put my redglasses on.
-
I said, boy, what's going on? He said, I got
-
a story to tell you. He said, there in that move of God,
-
you told me to go to the back door and cast the devil out,
-
he said, the cast cancer out. He said, I did it.
-
He said, God spoke to my heart, put and desire my heart
-
to pray that my hair would grow. He said, look, it's a
-
ready growing, brother, Philip. He received a good report again on this
-
past week. His doctor saw his complexion, His doctor saw his hair.
-
This guy's a specialist. Now, he's been to Moffet. He has some
-
of the finest doctors in the land. The one of the most prestigious cancer
-
doctor boards in the United States and in the world took up his case for
-
rebuke because they did not know how to treat that type of cancer effectively and
-
properly. When he went to see his doctor for an evaluation and a check
-
up, when he walked in the doctorship, you do not appear to be
-
one of my patients, mister Philip. You do not look like the rest
-
of my patience. You know what to there? Protest? Oh yes,
-
everybody got the same hot bares. Call this one for depression, call this
-
one for despair, call this one for anxiety. Tat this resource, use
-
this resource, go to this flight there hat this website. But there was
-
one mitter feeling was called it over. It was then little Lord from every
-
top night. Look, I'm telling every person putting this fielding this morning,
-
call you got to do's cry out to ease, I said, I said,
-
already, go to the look it's cry out. He touches us Lord
-
safely. Look. After he received that diagnosis, after a couple of weeks,
-
I felt inspired to preach to him a sermon titled Hope for the Underdogs.
-
I saw Brother Philip, who was not one to be given to strong
-
emotion. He is not wanting to display emotion in public. He's very dapper,
-
very reserved, cool, common collected. And Brother Philip hit the altar
-
and I saw him cry, and Sister Jennet, I saw him just dirupt.
-
I saw his shoulders going up and down as he was heaving in the
-
spirit and crying out to God and groaning like he's being moaning. And I
-
went to touch him, and God said, he's your son, yes,
-
but he's my son too. And then Lord said, right now I'm commuting
-
with him. Don't touch him. I'm telling you, I wanted to get
-
down there and console him. I wanted to get down there and whisper every
-
word. I just preached to him that there's hope for the underdog. They
-
say there's no cure for, there may not be any help for. But
-
God took up his case. I said, God took up his case.
-
And when I got home that night, I received a text from brother Philip.
-
Not wanting to text the whole lot, he said, Dad, you'll
-
never know how much that message helped me. He said, I just gave
-
it all the Jesus. I just put it all in his hands, and
-
I'm no longer worried about it because I know there is hope in Jesus.
-
There is hope in Jesus. I want to motivate somebody to take action.
-
Don't come on that. Maybe uppearing in your life when things become unpleasant,
-
but it might be the will of God. It is God, wlcome you'll
-
rescue. It is part of the Lord's plan. God had told Abraham,
-
I'm gonna do it. They're gonna stay for a little while, but after
-
they've been I'm gonna bring their mouth. I said, after you bet homb
-
on and you get in the will of God help bring you out. God
-
knew that they would serve a cruel and ruthless task master. Eventually, it
-
wasn't always gonna be an experience of Ghosha. As they knew it, it
-
was going to for the worst. Notice when God's people cried out though,
-
because of their unpleasant circumstances, he heard them Heaven's hotline. What's the number?
-
Huh? It's letters. If you know, on the more school telephones,
-
you didn't only have numbers, you had letters on them numbers. Does
-
anybody remember that? Any old timers besides myself, Your cell phone may not
-
have that on there. Does it have letters under the digits? Does anybody
-
know it does? Okay, I don't wear my red glasses when I'm dolling
-
on my phone, so I wouldn't know. I'm sure the letters are too
-
tiny, but I don't know. If you were to dial out the name
-
Jesus, do that for me, Brother Jeremiah. Dill out the name Jesus.
-
I don't know exactly what number you would be dialing figuring out for me,
-
Brother Jeremiah, find the numeral for Jane. The numeral for j would
-
be five. All right, e free s seven you eight s seven?
-
Can anybody recite that? Now? What? Five three seven eight seven five
-
three seven eight seven? Is that right? Everybody say that with me?
-
Five three seven eight seven. I'm calling on the name of the Lord.
-
I'm not calling double O seven. I'm not calling on James Bond. I'm
-
not calling on James the podon. I'm not calling on the Ritus. I'm
-
not calling on Peter. I'm not calling on Paul. I'm calling all tease.
-
You don't like the call, Pastor Hollo, you can call a teaser.
-
I'm telling us somebody left in this being in the look call us next.
-
You know he's her tool. Crime. Your crime has a lot Ki
-
Comester, as he laid upon that moment, the Bible does say the man
-
nature was asleep, but the God man was awake. If you'll look at
-
our text, the Bible said God heard their groaning. David said in Psalm
-
thirty four and six, this poor man cried, and the Lord heard him.
-
Has saved him out of all his troubles. Having this bill to know
-
who David is, He's the sweet Somers to Israel, the most beloved King
-
of Israel. They've ever had. Benjamin Natan Yahoo is beloved, they love
-
him. Solomon was beloved, but David is their favorite king. They still
-
speak highly of David, and David's calling himself a poor man because situations has
-
changed, circumstances a change. He is no longer being anointed by Samuel.
-
At this moment, he is not feeling the power of God. Brother Philip
-
and his life. David the Sweet Somers the VI Israel is writing about unpleasant
-
circumstances. In fact, during this period of his life, he is afraid
-
of King Saul, who was destroyed, trying to destroy him. Because of
-
jealousy and because of the threat of being destroyed, David fled to the camp
-
of the Philistines. And then once the Philistines figured out that the Israelite champion
-
who slew their champion was in their company, David became afraid again. And
-
he said, this poor man cried, this poor man cried, I'm not
-
afraid to say God, I'm being truth of myself. I have no longer
-
option, no other number to call, no other person that know Repie the
-
Bible, said Dave, and cried over the Lord, and he brought him
-
out of his the desperate need he needed to deliver her. Despite David's poor
-
choices, the Lord delivered him. I'm talking to somebody. We I'm a
-
delivered save Lord for desperate soul. Desperate David, we can call him at
-
this point, not beloved David. Desperate David, like the children of Israel,
-
had a hopeless sense that the situation was so bad that it was impossible
-
to deal with. This is why men put guns in their mouth and pull
-
the trigger. This is why women put too many pills in their hand and
-
they overdose hopeless sins. It is never hopeless, and it is never the
-
will of God that anybody, especially the children of God, take their own
-
life. That is never the will of God. And I feel that in
-
my soul somebody has been in a precarious situation. You did not expect things
-
to go the way they went. You're in trouble, and I appreciate you
-
admitting it, saying I need to go to church. I need to be
-
in church. I need to notice God care about me. Does somebody know
-
what I'm going through? The Bible said my father and mother forsake me,
-
then the Lord stake me up. When my kids don't really know what I'm
-
going through. Wasn't my children don't know what I'm going through? When my
-
mom and dad don't know what I'm going through. Hey, the Lord,
-
it will take up my situation. The Lord will take up my case.
-
Oh you got to do is cry out to the Lord when you have that
-
hopelessness hit that situation. Our text says there Israelis cried out to the Lord
-
because of the bondage. God heard their distinct cries. God not only heard,
-
God took action and connect to you. That's what's happening being demonstrated before
-
you this morning, God, dear red preacher A seven for you. The
-
figure of God is already own the paltry of a situation, and God has
-
taken accent Immediately God dispatched a deliverer. I'm telling someone that help was no
-
longer owned the way help was present. God is a present help in the
-
time of trouble. David and the Israelites at different times had the crowd to
-
God in their time of need and first Peter chapter number three, verse number
-
twelve. The Bible step for the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous
-
and his ears are open unto their prayers. Peter was addressing Christians who were
-
suffering severe persecution for their faith. Their circumstance had taken a turn for the
-
worse. They were happy they got saved, they were happy they had found
-
Jesus. They were happy to be serving the Lord. But they didn't expect
-
to be suffering in the great measure that they were suffering. So where the
-
Israelites who were in bondage, And so was David who found himself in the
-
camp of the Philistines. These are reasons to cry, Brother Jesse. When
-
you come to the piano, when your baby's built, money is given to
-
the drug dealer, that's the reason to cry. When you no longer can
-
have a good night's sleep because you're miserable in bondage, that's a good reason
-
to cry. The night that I got saved in October nineteen ninety three,
-
what I had to do was cry. But not cry on the shoulder the
-
pastor or the deacon, or the first lady, or on the elder,
-
or on a Sunday school teacher or the evangelist open air preacher. I had
-
to cry on the shoulders of Jesus. This generation knows absolutely nothing of talking
-
to Jesus. Sister Wood, stand up, world, you please stand up.
-
It's been nearly ten years now, probably right since brother Genie has passed.
-
About ten years, right, yeah, this is the tenth year.
-
Thank you, Holy ghost, coming right up on it in fact, right,
-
yeah, July the twenty eighth, there'll be ten years. I remember
-
that morning, about six am. Sister Walker there called me, so pastor,
-
we need you down here at the store just at the foot of the
-
bridge. What was it called, Park Avenue, Park Avenue, Fine Gifts,
-
Park Avenue Avenue Brow to you. I said, why, what's wrong?
-
She's screaming, she's crying out, I heard using the name Jesus.
-
I said, Sister Walker, calmed down and tell me what's going on.
-
She said, it's Jeane, sister Wood's husband. He's dead. Situation turned
-
quickly for the worst. I tried to get there. She had went to
-
a dentist appointment forty five minutes away, real early. She had had it
-
on over there. God had it all worked out. He knew I needed
-
to be there first. So I got in there, spent about thirty minutes
-
with him, and then she came in the first thing she did was just
-
go like this and say these words, Oh Jesus, she cried into the
-
Lord, and he heard her. She grown as she molled. She said,
-
Gina, hope you made it. I hope you made it. I
-
said, he did. Remember the last night of our revival, which in
-
fact was last night Sister Wood. From about nine fifteen to about ten thirty,
-
he cried on the altar, and for some reason he just wouldn't get
-
up. God was preparing him for the crossing. And she said, I
-
find comfort in that, knowing that he had been up and downs feriercely for
-
years, but in the last couple of years of his life he had been
-
solid and steadfast, and he was crying at the time of his death.
-
He must have somehow inside knew I'm about to go. I remember of him
-
was he sat outside in a chair, and that's why I'm sitting in a
-
chair. Get another chair over here. Him and I had fellowship and talked
-
until about midnight. He loved me, He did everything I needed done.
-
He sitt there out there on the sidewalk in front of that storefront with me,
-
and we talked best friends. Talked to about midnight, and finally he
-
said, Pastor, I need to go, and I said, well,
-
I'm here as long as you need me. Because I could just tell he
-
didn't want to leave the altar and he didn't want to leave his castor.
-
I said, well, I'm here as long as you need me, and
-
he do like that. He knew something, something on the inside. That's
-
what I'm telling somebody this building this morning, the way I felt during the
-
night, I know something. Somebody's suffering. Life ain't what you've painted it
-
out to be. And he didn't want to leave. I said, but
-
I'm here as long as you need to be till the sun comes up.
-
Whatever's trouble on you, whatever's on your mind. I'm here, man,
-
And I said, Pastor, I need to go. I said, okay,
-
I said, I love you. I'm sure it didn't help you.
-
And I remember him walking over to that van he had just fall, and
-
I remember sitting back now in the Word of God spoke to me. He
-
said, don't forget that view, and Brother Jesse was so real. It
-
was just like I saw him in a haze walking to eternity. I have
-
never forgot watching him walk away from me. It was literally like he was
-
in a cloud. I could see it. Now, he's in a haze,
-
sister. When I forceived that to have been was the Chicina glory of
-
God. Five and a half hours later, he would be dead. I'm
-
glad he cried unto the Lord. But you know what his widow was crying
-
in to the Lord at the time of his death. I put my arm
-
around her. She kissed him in the lips repeatedly. I got down beside
-
her, put my cheek up to hers and held her. I said,
-
he's in a better place. He's in a better place. We were just
-
start revival. The evangelist call and said, this is no time for revival.
-
I think I'm heading out. I said, if there's ever been a
-
good time for revival, it's now. We need to comfort this sister.
-
He said, I doubt it if she comes. We started church in seven
-
point thirty. The fat door swung open. She walked in, crowding to
-
the Lord. Ten minutes later, I saw the Holy Ghost enveloped her in
-
her situation with grace and comfort. I'm glad we chose to go to church
-
and cry out into God that night instead of dial in numbers to a hot
-
line to help a widow cope, Let's stand this morning I feel such a
-
sweet presence in Jesus in disbuilding. It is true in these United States of
-
American people are suffering for their stand for truth. It is true that every
-
child of God will suffer from living right. They will be bob ridicule,
-
scorned. For being able to call in our Savior makes it worth it.
-
Remember this always, God is watching his people and their persecutors. He is
-
watching when his people are suffering, because He is the suffering Savior. These
-
biblical examples are pretty positive to the believers that our Lord is aware of our
-
problems. I came this morning to tell someone that God hears your cries of
-
desperation, and I want to encourage you to continue crying out to Him.
-
If we could bawl our heads this morning, is there somebody in this building
-
that would say, preacher? I realized that this morning, right before in
-
my very eyes, Heaven's hotline has been set up for my specific purpose,
-
especially for use in my emergency, for me to communicate between me and my
-
God, for me to communicate my needs to my job. Heaven's topline.
-
If you were that person, and you would be honest, I'm miserable.
-
I'm in a situation, concerned of my help for my finances, I just
-
feel out cry. Would you raise your him? There's one, two,
-
there's three, there's four, there's five or six or seven? Is there
-
another? Could we all do a something? Could we all just find a
-
place to pray right now? Would you just cry out to God and tell
-
Jesus all about it? Oh, I'm so burned. I know what it
-
is to feel glass, But this morning I need to call the hot I
-
need to call the hot cy you note your bought alone. Jesus is gonna
-
help your friend. I thank God for's pieces a feeling. Jesus, He's
-
gonna help you. Thank God. Jeesz. Mountaings are possible, fucking mounawies
