Somebody Get A Shovel - Bro Jeremy Howell 2-11-2024

Let's delve into the divine library, shall we. May you turn to the

Book of Acts, and may I direct your attention to the fifth chapter.

We'll be reading verse number ten, Brother Nathaniel, Acts, Chapter number twenty,

verses number seven through twelve. Brother Jesse Second Samuel, Chapter number six

versus number six through and eleven. Again, I want to say I appreciate

Brother Reverend Jesse, howe'll fill it in for me this past Wednesday night and

preaching so wonderfully under the anointing of message that came out of the Portals of

Glories as to how and I listened to it just mere minutes after it was

uploaded. And thank you, Brother Jeremiah for making that possible by uploading those

sermons to the podcast. Thank you, I appreciate your attendance this morning.

I'm Brother Nathaniel, Acts, chapter number twenty versus number seven through twelve.

And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to

break bread, Paul preached under them ready to depart on tomorrows, and continued

his speech until midnight. And there were many lights in the upper chamber where

they were gathered together, and there sat in a window a certain young man

named Yudik is being falling into a deep sleep, And as Paul was long

preaching, he sunk now was sleeping, fell down from the third loft and

was taken up dead. And Paul went down and fell on him, and

embracing him, said, trouble knocked yourselves where his life is in him?

When he therefore was come up again and had broken bread and eaten and talked

a long while, even until break of day, so he departed, and

they brought the young men alive, and were not a little comforted. How

many in this building are familiar with the story of Uticus Raise your hand if

you're familiar with that. About seventy five percent of was so familiar with that

story. In summary, let me say his dozing led to his death.

How many people in this building this morning are drowsy spiritually? All spiritual drowsiness.

I feel like there's gonna be some young people that I'm preaching to this

morning. If I had to give the demographic and cite the age group that

I will be preaching to this morning, it will be from the ages of

thirty five and down. And I don't know who's thirty three, thirty four

and thirty five. I just feel like saying that, brother Jesse, Second

Samuel, chapter number six, verses six through eleven. And when they came

to Nacon's threshing for us, a put forth his hand to the Ark of

God and took hold of it for the ox and shook it. The anger

of the Lord was kindled against us, and God smoke smote him there for

his error, and there he died by the ark of God. And David

was displeased because the Lord had made a preach upon us, And he called

the name of the place there as unto this day. And David was afraid

of the Lord that day, and said, how shall the ark of the

Lord come to me? So David would not remove the ark of the Lord

unto him into the city of David. But David carried it aside into the

house of obed Edom. That gets hype. The ark of the Lord continued

in the house of obed Edom to get hyped three months, and the Lord

blessed obed Em and all his household. Isn't that a sad story that our

brothers just read to us. USA may have been a bit goofy, perhaps,

and his intentions weren't all bad, but he didn't do as God had

commanded, and he died. I want to preach a message the Holy ghost

titled, somebody go get a shovel. Somebody go get a shovel, Brother

Samuel, that you had to buy office, and get that shovel that you

purchased for me. May we stand for the reading of our Golden text Acts

chapter number five and verse number of eleven. And great fear came upon all

the church. And upon as many as heard these things, how many of

you feel like there is a godly fear that can be productive. Amen.

God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and

of love and of a sound mind. And us back up to our golden

text verse number ten. Then fell she down straightway at his feet and yielded

up the ghost. And the young men came in and found her dead,

and carrying her forth, buried her by her husband, Brother Samuel. Which

you lean that silver shovel up against the podium. Heavenly Father, we love

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

house of the Lord. We pray that you would use this thy servant.

Set a guard at my mouth and help me to say those things that you

would have me to say, nothing more or less. Anoint the ears of

this thy people, that they might hear it. What it is the spirit

of God saith unto this church. We pray, Lord, let these words

and say as that come from you go below the shoulder, that will saturate

the spirits and the souls of each one in this building. We give you

the praise and the honor and the glory. We ask you to please help

us, and may we depart this place joyfully and not sorroftly. In Jesus'

name. Amen, how many of you feel like spiritual lethargy is deadly?

Our text is found in a New Testament book of the Holy Bible, the

Book of Acts. Some of the last recorded words of our Lord Jesus Christ

are these very words, ye shall be witnesses unto me, both in Jerusalem

and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost parts of

the earth. In other words, our Lord Jesus was telling his followers that

it's quite possible you will die at some point in your ministry, and you

will die and be defined as a martyr. While you are evangelizing the known

and unknown world as opportunities after opportunities present themselves unto you, after doors open

and close, after doors remain open. At some point, you will die

as a martyr while you're witnessing to the world, while you're putting your hand

in and out of the bag of the gospel seed. You will die as

a martyr while you're sharing the good news of the Gospel. How many of

you in this building this morning know that the Gospel is that good news?

Oh? Yes, isn't it? It is so good to read the Gospel,

to read of the life and the ministry of the Minister Jesus Christ,

to admire by reading of his teachings, I appreciate the good news which you

look at your neighbor and say, hey, neighbor, did you know the

Gospel is good news? There's some people in this building that probably did not

know that the meaning of the word gospel is good news. And even though

we hear the story of Jesus Christ taught in our Sunday school classes by our

Sunday school teachers, namely Sister Hannah, Brother Nathaniel, and Brother roadecap and

sometimes the Gospel news is taught and preach by the numerous preachers and affiliates of

the Bethel Holiness Church. We still receive bad news at times. When I

received the bad news that Sister Cheryl was suffering with double renal failure after it

being an ampuitee and losing part of her leg from her knee down, I

received some bad news and I was very unsettled about that. When I received

the unsettling and bad news of Brother Phillips cancer diagnosis and prognosis, I was

very upset about that. When I've received the bad news that some of the

people like Demus have left the faith simply because they loved this present world,

I was upset at such news as that, and I could define as bad

news. There's people in this building that have received bad news recently. There's

also people in this building that will receive some bad or negative news in the

near future. Last night, just before I was to retire for the evening

and was about to turn into bed, Brother Roadecap sent me a message as

well as his son, brother Caleb, and both of them were giving me

or delivering to me bad news. They were letting me know that brother Caleb

I had been in an automobile accident down there on State Road twenty nine.

That is a deadly and dangerous road. Wives, I'm telling you you better

pray every day for the safety of your husband's as they commute back and forth

from home to the job. You need to pray for your children parents as

they commute from their workplaces and to home again. I feel like God has

let me know that there's somebody in this building to receive some bad news in

the immediate future. Perhaps it's in the distant future. I'm not really sure

regarding of the timeline or the duration of this particular forthcoming experience. I do

not feel like it is regarding Brother Philip or Sister Sheryl's situation. It's hard

for me to say, but I do know that God has been dealing with

my heart concerning this matter, and I want you to know that there's somebody

in this building, saints of God, that you need to pray for as

I navigate uncharted waters and try to do my best to rescue them from the

spiritual crocodiles that they are nonchalotly follocking in the presence of When I read the

numerous stories of the Christian martyrs and sprinters of truth. It can be both

inspirational and horrifying at the same time. I love to read of Dietrich bond

Hoffer. I love to read through the Foxes Book of Martyrs. I love

that I enjoy that. But at the same time, a great fear of

God comes upon me. And I said a little while ago that we read

that first number eleven of the fifth chapter of the Book of Action, that

there can be a productive godly fear operating in the church. But I do

not want to be that living or dead example for somebody to get the fear

of God in their heart. Over it has been so many times. It

marked is the supreme witness given to the truth of the faith. It means

bearing witness even unto death. This is Mission Sunday in every missionary in this

building. Perhaps only Brother Nathaniel and I are the missionaries in this building.

But for those of you that are listening in India and Dominique in other places,

I want you to know that it is truly a badge of honor to

die as a martyr for this Christian faith. For me, I greatly admire

those men, women and children who by death verified and confirmed that the teachings

of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ are true and worth standing for,

worth building a church over, worth living for, and worth dying for.

Again, the words and the teaching of Jesus Christ are worth living for and

dying for. These martyrs receive the highest honors of the saints and also of

the Angelic being in the portals of glory as well as to try you God

ahead. You'll find all throughout the Bible that God takes special notice when one

of his own is dying for his sake. A biblical example of this is

the martyr Stephen. As he was being stolen to death, God showed up.

Jesus stood up and attended to that situation. I feel like the highest

honors of the saints are reserved somewhere in that celestial city for martyrs. But,

young person, I want you to know that you die foolishly is not

a badge of honor. You being rebellious and stubborn, and because of that

losing your own spiritual life or perhaps your physical life, we will never give

you a badge of honor. You will remember that the great man of God's

folk. Concerning the death of Abner, he said died abner as a full

dying. What will be read upon your potash, what will be said after

your demise? I believe in these martyrs. They denied themselves, they took

up their crosses every day, and they followed the Lord. They did not

attempt to save their lives via betrayal. They lost their lives for the Lord's

sake, and in doing so, they saved themselves. These people are my

heroes of the Christian Faith. I have some American heroes. The A list,

celebrities, wealthy businessmen, and famous chefs of America are not My heroes.

Are heroinism. These heroes are heroines. Are those whose testimony have played

out as the part of the fool. There's been many of them that have

exchanged things for their very soul. They gained the entire world, They gained

popularity, fame, and fortune in exchange for their own soul. These type

of heroes, their testimonies did not play upon the heartstrings of my soul.

But the testimonies of the martyrs of the Christian Faith has played on the heart

streams of my soul and spirit. And I'm telling you also, the American

heroes that have given their life on both domestic and foreign soul for my freedom

and liberty. I appreciate those types of heroes. I feel the preacher in

this building this morning, a young person that will never be said of you

that you were anybody's real model or example or hero. If you choose to

do wrong. The Bible teaches us so that if we know to do good

and we do it not, it is sin to us. Sir. I

feel like there's something that age group within demographics of the age of thirty five

and under that are playing a very poorless game. You can lose your life

as you play the same game. You can lose your life as you play

the blame game. There's so many people responsible for your actions. She's saying

that, I want you to know you personally are responsible for every action that

you are doing, every word that you're uttering under your breath, every word

and you're vocabulary, your vocabulary choices, and your life choices, your actionary

choices. Everything that you are doing is of your own and doing. It's

not your preacher's fault, it's not your pastus fault, it's not your parents

fault, and it's certainly nothing the trench's fault. We could say concerning these

American leaders that Barbarack Obama or Hillary Rudmind Clinton, they made a bad choice,

and these people died here as American heroes on Manys because her of bad

choices within the government of America. We could say that perhaps somebody like a

Judas betrayed her some of the four fathers of the Christian faith in an end

result was they died as a martyr. That I'm preaching this. Somebody who

are up here this morning, you will not be able to tell Jesus that

your parents or your preacher were at fault. You will not be able to

say to our reason for our spirit of trousiness that can console to be upon

you. You had every reason enough. Now it's a change, if you

really want to, I'm telling you, I'm preaching this burning concerning the Holy

Ghost title that somebody don't get a shopple, young person, if you don't

change your own way so it get a hold or what God has been telling

you today concerning your life where it's physically and spiritual, it will come to

this preaching halt I said, it will come to a period somebody don't get

a shopper who is about to be a burial American soldiers, civil war warriors,

martyrs of the Christian faith. These people are my heroes. There are

cemeteries around the world where soldiers were killed in action in the war. There

are unmarked burial sites, and perhaps there could be such a place one day

for me or brother Nathaniel. Where a body was never properly identified or found,

there are unmarked burial sites. Then there are heavily marked places of burial,

cemeteries that bring honor to those that were laid took rest. At a

location nearby to us, there is a memorial and we preach there every week

on a Saturday. We preach there at the Veterans War Memorial. Sometimes I'll

go there and I try my best to read every name, because the name

of every American hero it matters to me, and if it does not matter

to other Americans, it should matter. I appreciate the freedoms and the liberties

that we feel and that we enjoyed. I want you to know that some

of these national cemeteries or local cemeteries, where our American heroes are buried,

or maybe perhaps where our Christian heroes are buried, I would like to respect

them there. I would like to visit the place where they have died.

I have been back to the place where I buried Jean Lowton. I've been

back to the place where I buried Johnny and Barbara Platt. I've been back

to the place newbos Timson where I buried Robert Hammond. I've been back to

the place where I'm buried Roy Dampier. People that received an honorable dischargement from

this life and have forever been enterta in a wormental situation here at the Bathahonness

Churchill and also an a portals of glory that there are a a cemetery or

two infamous a notorious people were carried that I have no desire to be.

Their names are and Denia, sir, and suppire that is a very a

sight of that iron ten to never be as no desire whatsoever to be there?

Where did those lion spirits go? The lion's spirits at the scene at

a nasis of fire soul? Where did they go? I'll go to Texas

Acts chapter number five and verse number ten. I appreciate the Bethel hole in

his church, telling me, preacher, you preach for as long as you

want to, because you keep our attention, and we are at liberty any

time ago. You tell us that, and I will tell you preachers this,

when the anointing is no longer pressing, shut her down. If you

are a pastor, you ought to be able to preach the text fully and

completely until people understand it. I don't know that you can get it done

in less than an hour. I do know that you should stop sometime after

an hour and a half if you've really got a hold of it. But

the pastor is personally responsible her to get the sitting to give the spirit of

the matter, and the preacher until people fully get the message. You not

understand that? Where does that feel? Thank you for asking? In a

twenty chapter of the Book of Acts, we find the story of Unicus.

What in the world's going on there? The apostle Paul is on his third

missionary Johnny, he's about to finish up. He's on the lost in the

race so that he comes to tell life. So in there they're having church

that it comes from a new nay until me not. And while he's preaching,

there's trialsy re a castle in the third loft in the window up there

in that Thurn story, Paul's trying to make sure they're not missing the point.

Paul's trying to make sure they're hearing what the spirit except that there's the

church for trousy you so it's not here having year so you hear not having

an eye so you see not do you realize what's happening that in this same

so this morning, you don't realize the gravity of this message. You can't

be satisfied to practice that somebody's feeling it, somebody's aching me on, preach

to me, preacher. You can't be satisfied with the fact that brother Jesse's

over here cherking in the Holy Ghost. You can't be satisfied in the fact

the sister we were throwing a hand out towards the preacher said bless him,

nor he's got a whole of it. We can't be satisfied that he can

packed up Brother Gabriel laid us file the down and jumped up and still hurt

the fight for him there and say their hand that preaching preacher, I know

you keep the ring well. I noticed her a dollar. Listen here,

what are you getting the message? Somebody get a shovel this up. Looking

at that our golden text. Then fell she down straightway at his feet and

yielded up the ghost. Why oh, why would anybody die at the feet

of the preacher? Why oh why would anybody die at the feet of the

preacher while service is being conducted. It doesn't matter for feeding the poor,

or ministry to those that are less fortunate, or ministry to the homeless,

or at least of the loss of the lonely. In with the trialsy spirited,

with abs founding the sack, didn't just part of the sacred possle.

And we die at the feet of the man whose fans shadow race again.

You can die in the midst of the house of time, out of the

finance, and must have naughted preaching their teacher, wouldn't the world? That's

not any him. That's what happened at the dials, there's a fire.

Why would you die at defeat of the preacher? This tells me of the

availability of Peter, the approachability, and also it tells me of the ability

of the apostle Peter. Thank your brother Tyler. But you know what,

as brother Tyler just got up from his back standing there at defeat of the

preacher, and then falling down as easily as brother Tyler just got up.

You can get up on your feet this morning and refuse to die. There

is a sleep of death that we can sleep concerning the partaking of the Lord's

Supper. Unworthily, there can become a spiritual lethargy in your life as a

result or of consequence of not taking that seriously. That could bring forth the

same results as we just seemed displayed by our brothers. Say gave us this

illustration. Now, it was very, very blood chilling to see brother Samuel

holding that shovel in hand and realize that he would have been the undertaker.

You can call it a coincidence or you want to. And there's some of

you you're easy to convince that it was a coincidence. Though you've got two

professional undertakers in this church. And and literally, as I'm beginning a preacher,

he is the octopoid. Hey, I'm about to preach this message.

Two of our undertakers, say walked out for this church. I don't you

call him there had of the work in this manner for a Sunday. Look

not to there. He is very I can't person or come on, now

you go like that I said, he'd again a south Gota bury somebody love

me not die? Two amen takers members of the Becaho Iness Church. She

walked out of the sanctuary to go bury somebody. That's how precidentity this never

happen. Call it whatever you want to, but I feel like this sermon

is propetic. You gotta shake yourself unless you sleep asleep with the you gotta

stake your sleep out of that. Let me tell you you better seek yourself

out. Let's spear in the trisyness and realize are ending another. I'll go

to text, said the NFL. She down straightway at his feet. Straightway.

It means immediately right there, at the point in time. For there

isn't a point with death. There is a scheduled event for each and every

person. There is a scheduled incident, or it could be called an accident

for every person when they meet the tentacle of death. That should be so

stirring for the pastor for the preacher, and for laity alike. It should

be definitely so stirring for the sinner or the young person that's playing church,

the like of Uticus. What would have been the excuse that Unicus had given

those. After he'd come to himself and come to his senses, he could

have said, well, I'm young, I've had a long day. I've

been busy. I haven't been shuffling my feet like the elders. It didn't

take me a couple of hours to scale these steps and get to the third

story. I read up there. I got sweating. I was full of

zeal, I was full of excitement, A busy iearary. I had a

busy schiredule man. I'm going to school, I'm going to college. I'm

providing for a family. You better knock ever be too busy for the things

of God, young person who sometimes it's you, it's staring to sleep on

the church. It's not all ways say that, nant person, because then

put person there. So sometimes it is, oh, young people, because

it's so busy with this day gold live. When the Bible said seek your

first, and all these things shall be added unto you, there's so many

people busy trying to not get busy. They're staying busy, not being busy.

Immediately, she you're up the ghost. But brother Nathaniel, what perplet

be in trouble? Me? As I studied this test, there was no

hope of resuscitation. In the case of Unicus, there was a hope of

resuscitation. Sister, howe will pray for me? I need God to help

me this morning. You are still slumbering and sleeping. That's what they're chased,

pure virgins. If you wouldn't members of the righteous Church, members of

the holiness Church, the son of them, their righteousness was as filthy riots.

They were suppers, and they did not have all wrong in the reserves

and wild. They's all the slumbered and slept the poison of the pride.

Great team, you gotta do the spirit a tisingness because of the coming of

the Lord is a party, Sir, I just heard, what's something blowing

in my soul? Even right now us looking around to see who's blowing the

trumpet. The trumpet is about to sound. That there will be charals and

people that will not hear us to say they're not dry, that the Bible

is the best of the people that know the joyful sound. Why for a

while you look us, did you not put high value on their precint a

call he's t this last leg of this link. Say he's leader troll our

sing you that can I say you love that. I'm punching a son in

the Holy Ghost title. Somebody, don't get a shovel. We had a

death. We've had a death. Peter was not in fault. The other

members of the early Church were not at fault. The leadership of the early

Church was not at fault. Parents, sometimes we stand at the spiritual physical

tuns of disobedient rebay'sed children and we say, what could I have done differently?

This is my very own offspring. What seeds did I plant that calls

this? Can I go back and undo it? For you? Parents,

I want you to know God can uproot that plant that has grown as a

result of some seeds you planted years ago. Believe that and have faith.

But I want you to know there are some children. They are bent to

go and head on into hell. It doesn't matter how much you jerk on

the rain or you try to turn the chariot around. They are bent to

driving it head off of a cliff. This is the demise of Judas are

scared when things shipping did not go his way, and he said, you

know what, then will self destruct. I'll just walk right on out of

my parents' house. I'll just walk right out of my God's house. So

I'll just walk away from the preaching. And when you do, you outsigned

your own death certificate. As somebody might as well. Don't be a pent

a shovel because he won't be very love unto you enough in a hot hed

and you pinde yourselfer na unto death a place. Say what a buzzard or

suckling? Can I tell you I have home ready? That sister, that

the spiritual buzzard or suffering hon to you. They know what that's about to

die. They know that does not to be a loss of life. So

what's so bad about the preacher? Sense? And death? I had daughter

Aaron would extinguish the life of a rabbit coon. Perhaps it was a raccoon

that had been bitten by a venomous surple that hangs out in the base of

the tributary there at my property. And sister holl And I was walking over

to the apartment to get something other refrigerator, and I walked up on ten

buzzards and they had circled or encompassed a rabbit or somehow sickly or deranged raccoon.

And our brother Dylan was showing up over there to work, and I

said, take care of that for me. I gotta sell waiting on me

over there and need to get back over there. Sure enough, they pulled

up and I said, handle it. I said, there's something wrong with

that raccoon because he doesn't want to run, he doesn't want to attack me.

He's just circling. And he looked good, did he not? Brother

dialing? He looked strong, he looked healthy. He didn't have any gaping

wounds. But there were ten buzzards circling him. They had noticed a change

in his behavior. It was indicative of his demise off my circling. I'm

telling you, I have been awakened on my bed at not last night.

This is unusual. Sister Hovill said, this does not lock you to sleep

eight solid hours not moving. She said, honey, you were so tired.

I said, I have not done that in years. I don't know

what happened. She said, it just means you needed some rest, and

I'm glad you did, and so I appreciate we renewed energy this morning.

Said, yn't tear with me, but I'm telling you this raccoon really did

not seem sickly at all. But there was something out of character and out

of behavior about this bird and the bossing's nude. We're about to feast,

oh this clips and I'm telling you the hends of hell for already and kept

round about you that a lad. I have felt God deal with me the

Fussard's of Hell. And just over head, who cat a great church family

standing? Whoin eye sight, whoin ear shide? You know? I said,

there's no reason, not all, for this change of behavior. There's

no reason, hod on that for this refuge for us, I said.

I walked over to the slimmery lot from the sales lock. I said,

handless handles business. It wasn't five minutes later he was sircret. I looked

down at my phone. Twenty seconds after the my brother would have said,

the problem has been resolved. The night before last, I was on my

bed, sound asleep, and I heard the loudest gun shot I've ever heard

go off on my head. I knew what God had dealt with me about

preaching. It was while you were standing in the saddle Wednesday night. God

began to speak to me along these lines, and I said, God,

somebody don't go show. The night before last, I heard that gun shot.

I jumped up. I said, honey, did you hear it?

I can't believe she didn't wake up. She always wakes up. She's a

lout sleeper. She didn't wake up. I said, honey, did you

hear it? She didn't wake up. I said, God, I know

what you're telling me. I looked out the front windows. I looked up

the side windows. I looked at the back windows. There was no sign.

And then God said, listen at the dogs. I said, Lord,

the dogs ain't burking. He said, there was no gun shot.

He said, out let you hear self inflicted shooting wounds. Somebody is about

to take their own life spiritually. Hey, come on now, I'm telling

you there is no reason at all that you should come look spiritual suicide like

and Nas and Sapphar did they come home? They came in the churchill they

played the part. They threw the tiling and offering her in the altar,

in the offering boxer. Let you know Wat's and Phila Jessy. They were

about to play her expirital role. And that's what you're doing. Service out

the service. You're standing that chamber. I said, you gotta stop her.

Scan up the tamer deciding of the news upon the neck of Dendred Bondhopper

was certainly but chealing for me as I read of his experience and his partydom.

But a self implanted blood by a trahosy person. Can you put your

name behind drowsy and that sermon title makes sense? Can you put your name

behind her drowsing her? And that so entitled it makes sense. We've gotta

shake ourself. That's what Jesus told the train disciples. You're gonna have to

sleep home now because it's too late. The gag answer has been all in

God, somebody don't get a shovel. I don't want you to wait too

late. I can't believe it. My heart is broke. Over the last

two or three days, and even until I walked out of my office,

my heart bled. I feel like I aged about six months over the last

few days. Oh, somebody don't get a shovel. This incident of annasis

Afar's death was not a pleasant experience for anyone that watched, for anyone that

stood there. It was not a joys ocasion or something for Peter to brag

about it. This could have been avoided. I could hear me, not

not sermon the apostle, Peter saying, like j this cood woman, pronical

son and prodca daughter. Listen to me, every one of you, those

of you that are in this building this morning, and those of you that

have distanced yourself from the church and from home, and you've ran into the

far country. It's time to start playing games with God. I'm telling you

it does not need to be said. Somebody, go get a shovel.

It's too late. When this shovel gets picked it up by the Samuel.

Pick that shovel up and drop it there on the ground. Whenever it gets

done. Hey, whatever, this funeral is over, after the last little

bit of dirt has been tossed into that grave, after the corpse has been

fully covered, it is too late. I'm telling you again, Peter.

Shadow wouldn't raise the dead of those they would be willing to live. But

these people were simply unwilling. You know the story of Annis and his wife.

They sold a piece of property and they wanted to make a show of

it at church. You're making a show here. You're not sincere. He

purchased the howard and says, can we tell you coming again when gonna come

to the altar, it's not gonna put your head, and you knows it

all p it is to play with God its sorrow. Sister Wooden's offense said,

it means it's time to be business, but you make a show of

it at church. Unlike the other members of this congregation. In an Ours

and Sapphire refused to give all. This couple decided to keep back part of

the proceeds. Supier knows what Anonasi has already done, and she comes on

anyway. She did not object to Anonysius plan. Brother Jesse. She knows,

she knows to do right. The able said, they either know what

to do right, and they that don't do it. To them, it

is sinning and our praise. And somebody in this building. You know about

the Lord, you know about the church, you know about their preaching,

you know about the meetings, and they're working on the Holy Gusta. Then

why in their why no, w I don't keep the shop lot it in

the church. That's Paul told Timothy and two Timothy, chapter number three,

in verse number fifteen, he said, in that from a child, thou

hast known the holy scriptures which are able to make thee wise or into salvation

through faith, which is in Christ Jesus. You should have faith that Jesus

can help you live a better life. You've known from childhood what to do.

Saphire was fully aware that Ananas was making a bad choice. How many

people who are inside of this field and will raise their hand to signify to

others that you could see it. Someone is making a bad decision or a

bad choice. As the parent of the six children, there's been times I

could say they have made the wrong choice. That's a bad decision, and

sister How and I will suffer as a result of it. Peter knew that

annonaysis of How had made some bad choices. That Peter told Annie that it

wasn't fooling him or the Holy ghost. Peter, hey go, I said.

Peter diagnosed the problem and gave the prognosis, and it was bleak better.

Philip, we're believing God gonna pull you out, Sister Cheryl. We

believe in God's gonna pull you through. Since the daughter, we're believing in

trusting that God's gonna pull you out, Sister how Will. We're believing that

God can do for you what's done for others and heal your body. Why

are they gonna parents? Why will have a nice parent? Sir? Because

he decided to lie to the holy ghost and cannot part up for him.

The selplessness, stubbornness and repelling you, the prince, that is what he

does not want to execute, Nord. Does he want to extitute? That's

spearit of pride. How many of you remember last Sunday Nights message the five

eyes of Satan, the five eyes of Satan, that spirit of pride is

going to destroy somebody, and they don't listen to what the preacher is saying

this morning, Brother Nathaniel Peter, he knew the problem and he knew the

fatos. It does not say that Satan himself entered Annisi's body, that was

said to Judas. It doesn't say that the sub serpent appeared and deceived him

that was said about Eve. But what it does say Satan has filled your

heart to lie right heart issue, that drowsiness, that lethargy, spiritual issues,

being slow, shuffling your feet. You ain't even ower thirty five and

you're shuffling your feet. I'm telling you, I feel the preacher hidden us.

How Satan has lied to you. You better stop letting Satan pheel your

heart relies. Hey, I said, you better stop relying Satan to feel

on your heart relies. The end of results in an ice conjure. This

scheme and the hory goes sell through this couple's conspiracy. Satan feel anonis's heart

full of lies and deception. The sin of this couple was it that they

didn't give all of the money according to the words of the apostle Peter.

They could have kept all of it for themselves. That value will piece of

property. They could have sold it for them kept every bit of the proceeds

for themself. Anonys. Did not have to sell that property. Are y'all

listening and got quiet? Right there? Young person? You don't have to

make those bad choices, an analysis. The fire did not have to die

at the feed of Peter. You do not have to sell out for so

cheap. You do not have to sell out your soul. You just need

to get serious with God. I'm gonna say it again, Anonysis. The

fire did not have to sell out their pastelity or their prosperity. But they

were not to lie to the Holy ghost to sin was this? You have

lied to the very god of having an earth. You have not lied to

me, And Peter said, but up to God. Well, preacher,

I'm going to the fire forest and I'm praying. Are you really sniffing your

arm pits and elbows is not praying? Walking around on your phone checking the

time and the temperature is not praying. I feel like preaching to you.

It's evident that this couple had lied at separate times. They decided to walk

in and they were going to lie to the preacher and the Holy Ghost about

the proceeds of this self. It doesn't say to me that keeping part of

it was the biggest problem. The greatest part of it was lying. Stop

lying to yourself. You're not trying to do better. You're not trying to

improve. Stop lying to your parents, stop lying to your preacher, stop

lying to your brother, stop lying to everybody. But you need to forget

about that. That's the small stuff. You don't need to sweat the small

stuff. I'm sweating the big stuff right here. I'm preaching, serving the

Holy Ghost titles somebody gets shuffer, pushing up daisies is the big stuff.

Spiritual death, physical death by an accident or one effort. That's serious.

As soon as an anis here is the last words that Peter would have ever

spoke to him. And the Ice fell down and breathed his last breath.

Somebody, don't your shopper, brother Tyler. We're supposed to be praying between

the altars. From this altar to this other altar is where the saints gathered

to press you were remembering the Bible. Thank you, Holy Ghost. It

is said that Righteous Zachariis was slain between the altars. He died as a

martyr. He died as a martyr. These martyrs that died received the highest

of Marnyorr, the highest of praise affirmations, approvals ofpplauses. Died as a

martyr. But here is a man named an Anise coming, Brother Tyler,

standing there about to give the preacher something. He said, it's all of

the proceeds of that son. Are you sure? Why have you decided to

line your heart to the Holy ghost. That's the last thing anybody ever saw

or heard of. And an Ice. Now, the Bible said that the

young men came and drug him out of the church and they buried him.

I could hear one of the deacons of their church, say somebody did a

shovel. Now I need about firema, six of you young men him to

get brother Tyler, and I need you all to take him out towards the

back there. To the best of you, they'll take him out to back.

Nora. But that had to be a terrifying sight and the Bible center,

verse number eleven of the fifth chapter of the Book of Accent, great

fear came upon the church. That is not a grave site that I want

to visit. Now the men come back in. I'm sure the undertaker he

brought a shovel because the oh no, what a scouns were an anncise,

Sir fire is and they all know sir fires next their life. Then they

know. Three hours later he thought he's always light from front. Charles Trust

says, oh my Trump, who had a ringing of that bod. She'll

come drag it in then, which he can't dragging in. There's no honey,

everybody here's her ask the question, where's Annie. Nobody wants to answer,

so she says, oh, well, since nobody can find Annie,

I just don't just walk out on up there with Peter. Her and Annie

got distracted Aldla until then we threw into the coffers over there with the secretary.

So since Annie and and I sing here, I'm just gonna come and

for you critics and skeptics that are listening on a line about to turn me

off because I'm using illustrations. What are you gonna do with agribust? The

prophet that came in while Paul was preaching and bound his hands. But she

looks around at the congregation. Where's Annie? Why are you crying? Where's

an? And Ice? Where's that? And Ice? Oh well, well

I'll tell I'll let him know on the way home. When I passed him

on the dirt road, I took care of it. And old Peter,

no prophet, the preacher, She comes up there to him, How you

doing, Tarp, How you doing, preacher? How you doing? Apostle

Peter? And she lies to him in the same manner, and he says,

how is it that you two conjured death, conceived it of? How

did y'all to developed this diabolical fast? And it's just King and the same

men, sweet ma'am covering Titus, you're going to have to beat the fire

fall down dead right there. But Titus, the same men that carried your

husband out. That's the last thing she heard. Your husband didn't do wrong,

and God did by. That's a horrible God undertaker say this. I

should have dug up bigger hold. I should have dug a bigger hole.

Yeah, the Holy GIRs didn't say to me, somebody go get an excavator.

I've heard of dictators that were evil having mass burials where they had to

have excavators dig big holes, beggars. This building is deeper. This building

is deep, and they buried the masters. What troubles me, God didn't

tell me the about the homeless church is about the backslide. God didn't tell

me, Brother Chris, what's the name of the church you go to up

there? Manuel? They didn't tell me. The holy ghosts did tell me,

Manu, holy church. Back back to the backslide. You'd have to

have excavators. Somebody go get an excavator. Me, is there anything the

church? Yeah? The deacons can bury you. Deacons have shovels. They've

been working, and as hard as they've been working, they also can bury

you. My God, I feel the Holy ghost My heart is broke.

I need a praying church. Rother Jesse. They're following my flies now warn

at the other. But then there's silence. Somebody put up the shovel.

Deacon's come on forward, young men, come on forward. I'm telling you,

if I've ever felt God deal with me to preach a sermon, that

was this one. Three hours later, his wife came in and now Peter

after her death, that says, somebody, go get these shovel. It's

the same shovel we just use. It's no longer a shovel. Go get

these shovel that you just used. Three hours later, Peter said, this

couple conspired together the light of God. In the tenth chapter Levineficus, we

read about two people named nay Dab and Abayu. And I'm picturing to take

brother Philip on vacation. He gets bound off a chemotherapy and radiation. I'm

gonna woke up this Lord, but I want us to pray these altars like

our laughter hims on it. They know how the sacrifices were to be presented,

and they dad and to buy who you know how the sacrifices were to

be presented and offered. They know not to offer the unholy fireing to the

Lord and brother Jesse. They went ahead and offered unholy fired. The result

was they were consumed by the fire. That should have been a lessent.

What should have been their badge of honor become a badge of dishonor what should

have been a sign of their approval of God become a sign of the disapproval

of God. In the sixteenth chapter of the Book of Numbers, we find

the names of Cora, and I believe it was about two hundred and two

hundred and fifty men that were somewhat leaders, but they got too big for

their breeches. You find that these leaders they got upset with Moses and Aaron,

and they said, who puts you an authority of the young preachers?

You need to remember something, every last one of you. When you start

attacking Moses an Aaron, you get so big that you say, well,

we can run our own church. We can run our own show you that'll

be real careful that there's none of y'all that I feel whatsoever that are disrespecting

us in any way. But they rebuked Moses. When you come to the

place you can stand told to toe with your pastor and rebuke him, young

man, young preacher, your own dangerous ground They accused him of self promotion.

They accused him of appointing himself as their leader or a ruler. How

could they get so diluted into range that they would even say, our preacher

Moses self promotes Who promoted Moses? Anyway? It was obvious, was it

not that God had promoted him? They simply wanted to be in command.

They were self glory seekers. And while they accused Moses of self seeking self

glory, they themself were in pursuit of it. Somebody go get a shovel.

Gosh, that I got it. It'll be a mass burial. And

the ground opened up and swallowed him alive. In the sixth chapter of the

Book of Second sam Over read about Buzz somebody go get a shovel. He

may have been a bit goofy, shuffling his feet as he went. Didn't

see a little bit clumsy. His intentions weren't all bad, but he didn't

do as God had commanded. Sister. When the hold of Ghost says seek

me, they choose not to seek him. When the word of God says

work and provide get a job, they choose not to. They conjure up

a scheme and aching and limited hours of word, limited time, limited availability,

limited ability, so they say was a bit goofy. His intentions weren't

altogether bad. But brother Christian, he knew, he knew, he knew,

I can't touch that art. He was no stranger to the arc.

He got excited, got caught up in the ball. He knew. But

here's what he would say, And it makes sense. I was preventing the

ark of the Covenant from falling off the cart. But listen, young men,

God had said no one can touch that arm. But really, Preacher,

really, really, Preacher, really, I just trying to stabilize.

It makes sense, doesn't it. That is one of the most heartbreaking stories

in all the Sacred rip is this one of oz of His intentions seemingly were

good, but I believe in his heart there was a rebg. Somebody go

get a shovel. We're about the very z of Uticus. You thought you

found a very good place to sit, didn't you. You could look at

the free and look at the world at the same time. His very name

means fortunate, And I want to tell you, young man, you're blessed

and fortunate this morning that you're in the House of God, a place of

deliverance, a place of salvation, a place of healing, a place of

resurrection. Brother Samuel put that shovel away. Brother I want to believe that

wall. Sister how and I are heading north, maybe this afternoon or tonight

or Wednesday night, while these other preachers are preaching, maybe after brother Caleb

preaching to night or Wednesday night. Hopefully this morning there'll be news that a

preacher we put the shovel back into work, calls it. We didn't have

to have a funeral. We didn't have to have a burial. God met

you to this. God met that young man there. Paul rushed down the

corner, down the stairway after preaching until midnight, and he knelt there and

he prayed Brother Jesse for Unicus, and the Bible said life returned to his

body. His dozing had led to his death. This trowsiness that you're experiencing

and tore him with is going to lead to your death. My title wasn't

don't fall asleep in church. It could be dangerous to do so. But

it could have been that. I didn't speak of us bringing an excavator into

the church house to bury our spiritual death. But it could have been that

brother stared. It's happened before. The entire nations have died spiritually, entire

churches have died spiritually. So I'm telling you this morning, a shovel can

handle what I'm dealing with, but the loss of one life is too many

if it takes the Lord taking a couple hours of sleep from me and dealing

with me during the day while I'm driving down the road concerning this message,

I say, thank you Lord. There's some people, maybe that's older than

the age of thirty five, that could say God dealt with me this morning.

I want still standing with good. Please. We have felt the Holy

Ghost in this service this morning, and I want to just warn you and

caution you because we're ending on a sweet note. Does not take away the

seriousness of this message. I joyed whether or not I should take it to

such a sweetness lest you lose conviction. The end result in the case of

Analysis of Fire was they drugged them out by their gills, They dropped them

in a hole, covered them up, and they buried in the then great

fear king from the church. But I want you all to know we will

never visit that cemetery and say they made our church betterers from him. That's

the gist of what I'm saying. I will stand at the burial site of

General George Washington, Stonewall Jackson, John Wesley, Charles Spurgeon, Charles Finney

with the highest of the guards in honor. But Brother road Camp, I'll

never go search out demons, Brother road Camp, you and I, Brother

Rude, will never go search out the burial place of Judas. Yeah.

I'd like to say that this will be continued. Is there somebody in this

building right now while we're bounding our heads and closing our eyes that would say

preaching. There's no doubt you preaks to me. I've been dealing with spiritual

drowsers. There's two hands that went up immediately. Was there another? There's

the third. I didn't think it'd be a whole lot fourth. Now,

for my sake and your sake, and for our Savior's sake, I want

to ask you to come into this altar and pray as the pianist plays of

the Senior Sleep. Can we come into the altar and pray each and everyone?

Can we search our soul? Say Lord, I don't want to sleep,

to sleep for death. I don't want to die. It has been

said of some they just simply did not wake up. I want to tell

this story as we gather to pray. An influential man in a small town

died, the school teacher. He died by a ski accident. So it's

told a lot of men, have a lot of other men that were respectable

men, good men, God feared men have died in accidents. Some of

them not so God. They have died in ski accidents. I'm sure there's

more than one instance of this, a more than one incident. But in

this case, this man was honible respect to what. He died in an

accident. The team came to the scene, they tried to resuscitate him,

but there was no help and no hope for a necessitation. Three or four

days later they had the funeral and one of his children was in there and

somebody was talking about what a man daddy, and the little child popped up

and said, was he's just over there asleep as you We didn't wake him

up. He's just over there a sleep. Would you wait. The people

in the building began to cry to you because they knew he would be waking

up. Would you wake up and see that you all that you wake up,

you drifted off the ghost inness jokes the blood of craw that you wake

up, see what God's doing. It's a beautiful thing. As you blind

down, Jesus, as you help me Jesus. So would you wake up

and fall singurities? Somebody don't get a shower? Would you wake up,

put away and see that you were long you drifted away? Either take up
