Comfort is coming - Bro Jeremy Howell 2-4-2024

No. One of my favorite favorite preachers, the prophet Isaiah, was considered

a major prophet, not because the message that he had was any more powerful

or potent than those other preachers they called minor prophets, simply because of the

length of his writings. He's considered a major prophet also because of his spiritual

insight concerning things that were forthcoming. In this fortieth chapter, you'll see that

he was also a prophetic concerning John the Baptizer, John the Baptizer. Now

we've got some mental outlines I want us to follow here this morning, and

I do not plan to mention them again during the preaching. I may decide

to do that if the only goes prompts me. But I'm not one of

these guys that wants to name three points perfectly to impress you. I did

not come to speak to you with excellent words. I come to demonstrate the

power of the Holy Ghost that's all in him. But point number one we

will be following mentally as we are preaching, is comfort in warfare. Okay.

Point number two is comfort in the wilderness that if you'll look in that

second verse of it at Isaiah chapter number forty, you will see the word

of warfare that literally means like hardships. So I come this morning not to

chastise, but to lift up and to just encourage you in the Lord.

Everybody, take a deep breath, just release in hell again. Please,

let's tell isn't that great? Did you good? That did mean a lot

of good. It's got me warmed up to preach. So we warmed up,

our mayor am all right. So you'll be looking at Isaiah chapter number

forty. We'll be reading verses number one through five for our golden text.

Our brother Nathaniel John, chapter number four versus number twenty eight twenty nine,

Brother Jesse First Thessalonians, chapter number four, Verses number sixteen through eighteen.

Brother John matter armist, could to see you here this morning, crazy Lord?

All right, Brother Nathaniel John, chapter number four, versus numbers twenty

eight and twenty nine. The woman then left her water pot and went her

way into the city and said to the men, come see a man which

told me all things that I ever did? Is not this the Christ?

This particular woman needed a comforter. She did not need a critic, so

when to criticize her, she needed a comforter. So the Samaritan woman was

comforted by the Lord in her hardship. Brother Jesse first Astalonians, chapter number

four, verses number sixteen through eighteen. For the Lord himself shall descend from

heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the

trump of God. The dead in Christ shall rise first. Then we which

are alive and remain, shall be caught up together with them in the clouds

to meet the Lord in the air. And so shall we ever be the

Lord. Wherefore, comfort one another with these words. Those are most comforting

words, are they not? How many of you are expecting the Lord to

return. Let's stand for the reading of our golden text, which will be

verse number one, but we will continue reading all the way to the end

of verse number five. The Bible says, comfort ye, Comfort ye,

my people, Saith your God, speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry

unto her that her warfare is accomplished. In other words, her hardships are

over, that her iniquity is pardon, for she hath received of the Lord's

hand double for all her sins. The voice of Him that crieth in the

wilderness. Prepare ye the way of the Lord. Make straight in the desert

a highway for our God. Every valley shall be exalted in every mountain,

and hell shall be made low, and the crooked shall be made right,

and the rough places play, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed,

and all flesh shall see it. Together for the mouth of the Lord.

I spoke, praise the Lord. It's legal to smile, Josephine,

can't steal that smile a few things. Let's pray, Heavenly Father, we

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

your house. I thank you for this people that have gathered together today,

Lord, to serve you in spirit and in truth. I pray that you

would have known this. Thy servants of the Guard, have my mouth and

help me to say the things that you would have you to say, nothing

more and less, and thought the years of this thy people, that they

might hear what it is. The spirit saith up to the church is through

this preach word of God. Lord is God of my words, but it's

of your words. It's God of my spirit, but it's of your spirit,

by your power, by you or mine. I pray reveal Thine arm

and thy power and I save and strength this day. Help us to hear

the words of God and to heat and let the sayings go into that soul

and spirit below the shoulders we prayed. And may we depart this place joyfully

and not sorrowfully, in Jesus' name. Amen, look at your neighbors.

You're being seated to say, hey, neighbor, comfort is coming. Comfort

is coming, Brother, Jeremiah is the title this message? The Holy Ghost

did in fact title this message. How many of you all believe that comfort

is on the way for each and every individual in this building this morning?

Our textas found in an Old Testament book of the Holy Bible. The title

bears the name of its author. The name Isaiah is a beautiful name.

It literally means the Lord is salvation. The name Isaiah is the middle name

of my son Samuel. This fortieth chapter of the Sacred Writing is comforting to

the person who is discomforted. If there has been a generation that feels uncomfortable

mentally and spiritually, it is certainly this generation. Everywhere I go, I

see discomforted and miserable people. How many of you have seen somebody miserable?

You ever seen somebody wallowing and misery. This is the most miserable generation that

I have ever seen since to howl. People on every hand are perplexed and

troubled, And so I see discomforted and miserable people. The children of this

world have their eyes fixated upon everyone and everything besides the Lord and his habitation

heaven. As we read through this chapter, we soon realize the purpose of

the Lord speaking through his servant, the prophet Isaiah. He gives his servant

Isaiah a message for the people who claim to be his people. But those

people have disappointed the Lord because of their rebellions, stubbornness, and sins.

You see that these people received, though nevertheless a preacher preaching to them.

God raised up someone with a vision for their correction. God raised up someone

with a vision for their spiritual renewal and restoration, somebody that would steer them

in the right direction. How many parents in this building this morning would admit

by raising your hand and saying, I have to steer my children in the

right direction. If they're going to end up at the proper destination, I

must train them up in the way that they should go. And the same

thing should be being done by parents across the world and throughout America, parents

should be training their children up in the ways of God. Ignorance is not

bliss. The people of this world being ignorant of the things the ways of

God, haveing no identity who God is. That is not a situation that

brings forth bliss. That is a situation that brings forth calamity and chaos.

I have heard people, including preachers of the Gospel, that have said the

world that sits in ignorance is a blessed world. No, absolutely not.

In fact, the entire coming of the Lord, the soon return of the

Lord, hinges on us notifying every single soul within this world of the Gospel.

That was the reason for the Great commission, that we would go forth

unto all people, and that we would sprint the Gospel Brother Jeremiah. And

after that has been accomplished, then the coming of the Lord will happen.

And so I feel like it's very important that we enable and equip people to

do mission work. It's very important that we pray to the Lord of the

Harvest that he would send forth labors into his harvest. If you want to

get out of this spiritual warfare and the spiritual wilderness that we are living in.

We need to evangelize the world. We need to spread the Gospel.

It's going to take more than Brother Samuel and Brother Caleb going down to a

mockily once a month, preaching hope, truth, righteousness, all these wonderful

things to a lost people. Is going to take each and every one of

us to be a voice in their wilderness or a voice in the midst of

their warfare. If you look at this forty chapter of the Book of Isaiah,

you will see that there are four different voices mentioned. Four different voices

are mentioned. If I did not count incorrectly. Now I know that the

Bible said that there are many voices in the world. Ha many of you

are very careful to listen the voice of God. You pay careful attention to

the voice of God, and you do not listen carefully at all to the

voice of this world. The voice of this world is certainly speaking to each

and every one of us, including myself. I would lie to you if

I told you that the voice of this world or the voice of the devil,

is not speaking to me. How many of you feel like it's true?

The old cartoon that showed an angel of the Lord on one shoulder and

a demon from Hell on the other's shoulder. That is true. Sometimes while

the Lord is trying to speak into one ear, the devil is not hesitant

or reluctant at all to get in the other ear. And so these people

who profess to be the people of God, Sister Howell, somehow they find

themselves in a situation and predicaments that are very unnerving and unsettling. I know

that there must have been a time that they the question what can be done

about the situation? I want to ask you this morning, have you talked

to the Lord about your situation? I have had a bird in this past

weekend that wasn't second to the one that I had the prior weekend. I

am convinced that the Lord is wanting to speak to somebody in this building this

morning. But I want you to hear the voice of the Lord and what

it is. The Spirit saith unto the church. Bend your ear towards the

Spirit of God. You have it here to hear, and I want you

to hear what the Spirit is saying under this church and those individuals in this

building this morning that need this message. And so in a time of chaos

and calamity, Brother Nathaniel, they receive a message of hope. How can

it get any better than that? It does. Isaiah's message not only is

a message of hope, but it also speaks of the coming of the Lord.

And the Lord is going to save his people any time he makes an

appearance. In fact, when he made his first appearance upon this earth,

he was sin, a baby, born on a mission to save people from

their sin, not to save them within their sin, but to deliver them

out of spiritual hardships or spiritual warfare and spiritual wildernesses. The Bible said he

came into his own and his own did not receive him, But for as

many that did receive him, to them he gave power to be the sons

of God. Now, I want you to know that these people that are

the children of Israel and the children of Judah, they find themselves in exile

in the land of Babylon. And so this had to be a wonderful message

of encouragement. With the prophet, Isaiah began to preach. He had talked

to Isaiah, and God had moved through this messenger, And this messenger had

also spoke with Hezekiah that was the king of Israel. What was the occasion?

The Bible said that Hezekai was sick unto death, and the son of

Amos, the prophet Isaiah came unto him and told him to make is it

called a poltice and makes some kind of poultice of figs, and to put

it on the wound. And the prophet Isaiah said, if you do this,

if you practice simple obedience, you will be healed of this miserable wound

that you have. Are y'all listening? Are you getting this? But it's

gonna be up to you to do exactly as God has told you to do.

So I know that I've got a message for you this morning, but

it's going to be important that if you're holding a child in your hand,

that you hand that child off like a quarterback would a football tour running back

and you say that all that matters is that I scored a touchdown in the

altars. I've got to get your attention right now, because there is a

stronghold around you that's trying to get you in a situation where you feel discomforted,

you feel disquieted, you feel like you're in despair, and that will

lead to a depression that you're gonna have a very hard time shaking. I've

had a strong murden, and so this message of hope comes forth, and

brother roaduecap. Not only is it a message of hope, but the message

is you're gonna find comfort and strength. And I want to point out that

the word was comfort, not cushy or cozy. It was not an invitation

to go to the local spa and receive creature comforts. It was not talking

about a bigger paycheck or a better personage, or a better house or a

better job. How many of you know that God did not promise us a

bed of roses. He did not promise us a bed of ease. God

never promises, nor do us his servants promote comfortable lives. God never promises

comfortable lives, and God's servants that a true men of God, they never

promote comfortable life. We are not prosperity preachers. God never promised freedom from

persecution or an absence of punishment. In fact, we find that these people

had been punished even though they had a preacher like Isaiah and a king.

Luck has a pile and miracles were being performed. God let him know you're

gonna spend some time in exile. The Bible students and the Bible readers in

this building this morning, you know, they spend seventy years in babylonh That

is a long time to spend in a spiritual or wilderness, or in spiritual

conflict or warfare. You see, I'm not here this morning to promote prosperity.

I'm not here this morning to promise you comfort or a bed and a

rose of ease. But I am here to tell you this morning that God

told me that he will provide comforting strength. If you look at first number

ten, that word warfare is hardship. I have no doubt whatsoever in my

mind that somebody in this building this morning is at the WIT's end. I

know that they are facing things that somebody else sitting next to them is not

facing. They could say, how could it get any worse than this?

I come to church and I look the part, I walk the walking,

and I talk to talk. But some how, in the midst of my

bosom, I am a miserable because of things that are going on. I

don't know that you're like the Tunren of Israel. These people were facing these

things because of sin and willful negligence and disobedience. God indeed was of punishing

them for their actions and their wrong doings. And I do not know that

you're suffering in the manner that you're suffering because you're committing grosser habitual sins.

I do not feel like you're just somebody bent towards evil like these Israelites were.

That I want to encourage you because the devil has lied to you.

I felt it in a time of prayer. You feel like you don't measure

up to others in the church. You look around and say, well,

you look, they're celebrating this week one year of being genuinely saved from their

hardships, from their mental stressors, their mental anguish, their mental agony.

They had a smile on their face and their saved. Has been twelve months

now since I was genuinely saved and sanctivide and filled with the Holy Ghost.

These that have been testifying that are the saving strength and the salvation of God

have not sinned that they were addicted to something. They have not said that

they were habitually sitting. They have not said that they were struggling who sin

But they have said somehow I feel like I have finally been saved. You

see, God had told these people that were riven in exile. He prophesied

through Isaaha that there were come of time when they're reber in exiled, and

he says, it's gonna gets so bad because of wrong doings on your part.

I'm not here to put a finger and anybody this morning is saying you

are suffering because of something you did. But I want you to see how

much of John loved the people that made mistakes, and yes, the mistakes

cause the misery. You look at the issues that these Israelites were dealing with,

wouldn't it be safe for us to assume that they are dealing with things

that so many people are dealing with her today? So many people are dealing

with her addictions. I'm surprised at how many people have confided in me and

saying they're having to resort to feel abusive in order her to escape their pain.

Sometimes I feel like that physical pain it is too largely impart because of

the Sierra being reasonable, because of their set of relationship with their God.

Are walking to so many churches nowadays, and it doesn't take but a glimpse

and againer to realize very few people are meeting rays a true chure. It's

contagious and the next generation and oh, I see the shackles and bitters and

naked of our spiritual warfare, a spiritual bondage that is not a plan and

a weird of God. Services can wrong, and after that there there's another

servance, and after that another service, and by the tiler it gets to

be a routine. We're used to hearing the team to love our own change

with power of trying to provide a rhythm to our own soults. And as

we cry the rooms, I want you to know you can shake them.

These change already rot too. That's rhythmic as you desire, But it will

bring no inward choice. That won't bring no inward peace. I'm preaching to

somebody that you might even be saved and shake the pie and holding us feel

that I felt more misery. It is not the plan or the will of

God for any child of God to be miserable. And know who your master

is. And these people having realize that God BLEVEs their lord, that's when

they claim to be their God. The whole time they're in echild and ba

ba lah the people about a lot of sin man sing us say, one

are the songs of Sidon who took be God the heart. Go to the

widow gressions they told them hearts off and tell us how good your God is.

I know it's somebody you just standing to day. You do not do

your locker singing assault in that wilder gonna say, they're your real and I

want you to know victory. It's Lord say and comfort it's coming. It's

stop cleansiness, sir. That's to look for for. It's not being trussing.

I'm looking for, I said, being comforted by the whole that goes.

There's mercy for you, amusement. These Israelites are the children of God,

are they not? And they're dealing with things because of their wrongdoings and

their actions. They're dealing with things. How many people do you know are

dealing with something? I can't believe how many people today are dealing with things,

especially those that claim to be the children of God, those that claim

to be the people of God that religiously attend worship services, whether there are

billboards or science or marquis on the front lawn of those houses of worship where

it claims to be the house of God or the Assembly of God, or

the Church of God, or the place of the presbytery, or the place

of the preacher, or the place of the Man of God. And so

why are we facing the things that we're facing. Why are people battling with

addiction? Why are people battling loneliness? Why is there disharmony in the home?

And the crickets are preaching louder than I'm preaching, and a saying a

man the louder than your saying, Amen, this fiding? Come should it

be that doesn't be disharmony in the home of god fearing people? And what

about problematic and ola years? What about toxic relationships and sadness? Saying?

Some are dealing with extreme bouts of our depression. I'm not talking about city

somewhere where you feel lonely. I'm talking about lucky through a very dark place.

And you're remembering in battle age and you're incessant and routinely and gains in

spiritual conflict their warfare, and when you look around, you lib in batle

law. Why are you dealing with depression? Oh? Come on, now,

I've recently discovered then it is no joy in mine to deal with the

age progression. There is no choice at all associated with getting old. And

I'm surprised, and how bad I ain't in the morning. I'm surprised the

fact that I just cannot hurt it dear to more than six hours and asleep

Rother. To your mind, that's what you told me. Then you're mighty

young to not be able to vide the rest. Don't come on, I

say, okay, though we live on money. To your mind, that's

hears his speaking, that you cannot live on the survival and a din servant

every now in me just sleep. Look, they're just shine never knowed meal.

We need to step fasting of the Holy Ghost. We need a stink

of environment that is produce it to peace of the drawing. Sometimes we suffer

simply because of the atmosphere that we're trying to thrive in or the environment that

we're trying to survive. Brother Samuel, I've seen people before that could have

drove an hour or thirty minutes, or two hours or three hours of my

brother Wallace twelve hours to the saving of the household. Hey, you can

find jobs at about every city of America. The man of God at one

time recorded in the Sacred Rich concerning some men that it got weary and well

doing, and weary in their warfare, and weary in their wilderness, and

they sept the blessings of God's just over yonder. Why shouldn't we sit here

and die? Hope? Come on, now, all the money we will

spend, and the time and the resources people of God will spind to go

to a stop and shut that people, and to put out a noster claim

for creature comforts. I want you to know creature comforts. Maybe not,

but they're not They're not what we need. It's not propert what the whole

God, Lord willing here more and tell that I'll be enjoying some creature comfort,

just some good five star rated food. Lord willing in the near future,

our vacation again in a nice place, our experience, cause she our

experience plus our experience comfort in a world of sense. But brother Philip,

as good looking as you are, as handsome as you are, and out

of the islands of Dominica. Yesterday morning my phone was left a message,

and I listened to it earlierly yesterday morning, and they said, we are

praying for the mighty drummer of the Lord, Brother Philip. This lets me

know that no matter how good looking we are, no matter our pedigree,

no matter our age, we've got to go through something calling chemo. The

God can comfort usself in the situation of Keyno, or in our church or

in our life. I feel like preaching to you right here this morning.

There's too many people. It ruled America, the little villages in township over

Caesar, the seemingly have it all. The sister inside the dealer with something

more than the age and process. So the dealing with something more, the

feeling a little bit unset on it and uneasy about it, or events as

an unfold. Don't expect me to get upset. That's the world. It's

a way said change it. So because our brother the right that can't text

this morning, that said, we can expect the role and the comfort that

by his a period that we can expect to the world to comfort us by

showing that God saw you, that you found and pray and said, I

just can't get it the right they got it. I just don't mess it

up. I don't know what's going for me. I want you to know

there's nothing wrong with being a child of God. And if you're a child

of God, you got to be in very good hands. So the Lord

wants to give each one a strength that comforts. Look at your neighbor and

say, hey, neighbor, he wants to give you comforting strength. So

the Lord wants to give each one in this building and those that are listening,

a strength that comforts and assurance. There's been times that I went to

prayer concerning a certain situation, such as sister Cheryl's condition, some of the

other conditions you all are facing as you try to find your place in this

part of the country, and I'll pray, and sometimes the answer that I

receive is not exactly what I want to do here or receive. But because

I heard of the voice of the Lord, it was comforting to know that

he was with me, and it was assuring. I thank God for the

comfort and the reassurance that I find in the church house. Your appears in

contemporaries will persecute you on the job and say, well, we don't need

a crutch called the Church. We don't need to be a crutcher in this

world called the Christians. And this is knocker or crutch that I'm leaning on.

These are to ever lusting answer and God, and inside there are arms

of strength in this place. This morning, I feel like this comforting.

That strength can have somebody which are coming to the altar in about thirty minutes

and tear you a little while and receive strength that can hold me. Law.

I'm telling you, he's the sausa of the streath. No hawk comfort

from the presence of the Lord. The Lord is not that guy the standing

on the other side of the corner waiting away lay somebody with a ball back.

But he is quick to chas and knows whom he loves. He is

quick to punish them, and sometimes just through extreme punishment. You look at

the children of Israel as they spend some time in Egypt, in the wilderness.

They spent some four hundred years. That's up for debate. I have

not yet said what I believe, but for simple maths of work, they

spent four hundred years over there in that area. And Brother Jeremiah, they

no sooner get out of that wilderness. Comfort. In the wilderness, all

of the taskmasters of the Egyptians were beating them so bad that they too cried

out I'm telling you somebody cried out. Somebody's been crying out. They cried

out, and the Lord rose up in the lire, just like God rose

up, I said. And this time God rise us up on delivery and

raise us up gets them set at liberty, but better Jacob, after they

cross the Red Sea, where recklessly they get in another wilderness, and and

they won there in the wilderness for forty years. I want us on to

become like a bet of Samuel him and I was going to join a dear

brother Friday to do sufficient on Lake Casiti, and Brother Samuel said, as

we stopped to fill up the truck, he said, Dad, I'm about

to celebrate the one year of being genuine to save sat divide that holiness filled.

He said. What nobody else knows is the to the story. He

said. Our told brother Nathaniel he Wen new Year and rolled over. He

said, this is my hear. Hey, I'm gonna get serious with God.

I'm gonna get serious about reading about Bible. I'm gonna get serious about

person and revival. We didn't have him the branches here. You don't like

preaching here, doth bless us up, wonderful preacher so unscheduled, spontaneous for

her, It wasn't about to happen in the heart of for and another and

another. The end result is here, I said, tell people receive a

home a ghost. I'm telling you a comfort, prince suit, not comfern

short. So many praise God were again the preacher. He's giving us some

message. The who you would think after the people in this world heard about

that notable and no worthy revival, and this church would be one of more

than seventy between sixty five and seventy, you would think them. Not everybody

is looking for this. Not everybody wants to be around the prophets, not

me, I'm talking about Isaiah. Not everybody wants to hear what Isaiah has

to say. Not everybody wants to take the poultice and put it on their

wounds. Not everybody wants to get in the altar and have a good prayer

in the altar. Not everybody wants to cease from their sin and die to

their sin. But the Lord is still calling these people that have given themselves

the immorality. And I'm dooaltry, he said, I'm telling you I have

whipped you long enough. I don't know exactly how many lashes they had.

Brother, that you're in. My time did not permit me to dig that

out. But I know that the whooping they got you was much more superor

than any woo and her I've ever got to an. Actually, God got

done whipping their hide. And guess what happened. God done a lot,

brother Daniel, God said his little girl sister Rebecca. He pulls her up

closer, he said. Sometimes when I discipline her properly and ever so slightly,

I don't understand it, But she seems to respond to me better.

She seems to want to love me more. That's the way we ought to

be. It doesn't matter if it was chasing and because that suckingly, God,

God does not want to see you destroyed. It is not caused.

We know that anybody should pare them. So it's not Todd's geno, and

there'll be a toxic relationship. It's not Todds. We that that be disharmedy

in that man for you. Then it's not cats me on her that being

uneasy and I'm just killing in who you are alive. I want you to

know you can bring it to Jeesus. There is this save Witstad. You

never seen somebody that's floundering spiritually, And you say, well, all you

had, dude, was getting that car and drive thirty minutes. All you

had to do was driving out. All you had, dud was driving out

in half to our sister how and I just moved to relocate it. All

you had to do is just move, brother a J. I know,

if it makes sense to some I wasn't familiar with your spiritual warfare. I

wasn't familiar with your spiritual wilderness. And to be honest with your brother e

J, I have not even permitted you to tell me a whole lot about

it. I just accepted that you had talked with a man that was in

charge of your life, God and also your pastor, and said I need

to make the move. After I asked you, did you talk to God

about it? Did you tell your pastor you're leaving? He said I did

all of that, And I said, good, My door is open up

to you. Oh, come on his pastor in hot time to him out

there that there was something that God was doing. Now, I want you

to know when God opens the door of your misery prison and he says,

I've set you at liberty those who are bound. I've set you at liberty,

captives from your captors. You have said breed. You got to embrace

it. You're not gonna figure out how the really read better. Jesus washes

a sinner, so please. You never figured out how he takes away the

sein, but not only the sin to feel out the shame. You'll never

figure out how the word of God had the spirit of God say the You'll

never figure out how a holy does comforts of the should say that pen of

po say your lofe working figure life. But you've just got to advise it.

What you mean me? He loves me, He cares about me.

You mean preacher God, that were you to preach this because it cares for

me? Preaching? That is no way. You know. I've been praying,

I've been long now, I've been miserable. I've just got so much

on me. I need save in strength, I need comfort and strength.

I'm sure these people were tired of being weary. Are the weights of sin,

the guilt and the shame. They knew why they were gonna be excellent,

And then when they were there, they knew why they were there.

How many of you know, God, promoted Daniel while he was living in

exile. Every child of God, no matter where you're an actual you don't

have to beat the floor incessantly hit yourself sacrificing. I know the apostle Paul

said, I beat my silfer black and blue daily. He crucified the blessing.

He crucified everything associated. He is spearing of the water. He died

daily. That there is nothing you're ever gonna do that is enough to marrit

Or heard God salvation, hom I preaching to you not here this morning,

faith and Chris is enough and you got to receive it. And I said,

not only you have to receive that, you have to believe it.

Preacher, is it true? After all of this, after all of this,

there's been a blaze in my life, after all this burning down,

after all of the aftermath. There's a voice in the wilderness. Pastor,

howse got your message? There's a voice in the wilderness. If you're looking

at for the chapter, you see there's several different voices there. I have

a murder for some good, and I trust that that person is here today.

In the port of Chapter Isaiah, we read about her Echols, who

are from the land of Israel being held captive in Babilag. These people who

claim to be the people of God were displaced from their homeland because of their

disobedience. Do you realize that people a lot of times are picked themselves for

their own situations and their own surroundings. If I had not made the strategic

move has led by God and came to where I'm at today, I am

to Gods to I would have lost to these sons that are saved center by

men. You're not kidding me, sir, I'm telling you sometimes we suffer

him because we prove distance from what Tod said this home. Come on,

Lord, you know where to hold me as a whole as where you know

long. That's why you get paid. That's where you can't comfort well straight.

That's why you press these lf we know, and the fool just saying

without everybody can have a bethel, Yes they can. You have to be

wise enough to realize the spiritual leadership should be put vided. And if I

found myself in a situation we're all did not have a bethel, they did

talk my heads up. It's time to lead us. The reason won the

wilderness and refusing to possess to promise two hundred years and eat upon me enough

turndred years and awareness how to be in love. I talk somebody around.

I'm telling you, come on that take. I tured your round. I

was driving the church this morning. Well, God said, you're gonna circle

back. They ain't gone, They're gonna circle back. That's what that dear

sister done Wednesday night. She circle back. My God. It's time we

quit circumventing the trees on what works. Somebody will rumatward arthritis. They can

circumvent the treatment all they want to. Somebody will cancer, can circumvent chemo

all they want to. You can circumvent the preacher and the church and the

comfort that assures and the comfort that provides strengths all of you want to come

on now? I feel like preach it in just a little while. Help

me while I preach a little while, would you do that? The layer

wants to get up. That's another revival. I heard from the Grenborough rack

to day. I heard from another way. I sure today I heard from

Brother Silas Carver today. I heard from other men of God today. But

I want you to know they did not have a message for somebody misspell it.

They had a message for somebody else. Come on, and I'm telling

you have a message. What's up people? You don't have to battle with

it. We don't have to face side. You don't have to you,

you don't have to circle the blesside. Well, I'm afraid if I get

too close. The preachers don't know me. That's okay. The preacher already

knows. God already knows. And the preacher is going to have a message

for truth. For every message that brings me forth a message of repentance,

there's also a message that will bring forth renewal. For every message es you's

in. If you would like a sweep, sweeping flood, like a tidal

wave conviction, you will also find if you get the whole cake, you

will find one that circles around that brings forth comfort. I just get a

stump right here. I have a genuine burden for someone, and I feel

out they're here today. I have a genuine burden for somebody, and I

feel out they're here today. Why were these people facing such hardships Because they

had had their eyes on the people of this world. And while they gazed

upon the people of this world, and the people of this world's ways.

A spirit went into their eyegate, and a spirit went into their ear gate.

As they listened and watched to what the other voices were preaching and teaching,

and how the people responding to those other voices. I'm asking you this

morning, you better drowned out some voices that are starting to speak in your

life unless you lose the sound of a shepherd where he ministers to you.

Oh, come on, now, that's too deep. I guess andy.

They were not seeing properly and they were not hearing properly. This is why

the people of God became immoral and it became idolaters. They were having issues

and before it was over with that that we're doing like to him News,

accepting every religion that comes around. And they were doing like the hind News,

everybody's religion will put you in touch with God. They were doing like

the hind News. Tell us in listening from India, You've been listening every

service, and I want to tell you that we do not serve a lifeless

God. We do hear from God and we do preaching a serving that a

specific to our people. And I preaching and my brother said her sisters in

India I don't care what youru for yourself. I don't care what your mom

and daddy says. I don't have to kneel down and pray. I'm not

claiming image and it stuck upon save him talking. I don't have to kneel

down a coin touchy and expecting you from talking. God tells some I'm God

is not dead, I'm prob is a lot, and I'm God is not

I'm God is all and I not all pis. The people of God get

so alienated from God that they'll fall on their knees in front of a dumb

idol and saying, I expect you to provide a miracle for me if he

studied the book of Isaiah, and we'll speak of other kids heads. They

expected them idols to help them with their fertility issues. They expected them idols

to help them make better business deals. They expected them idols to provide for

them. You know who their God was, Jehovah, the one that provided

the minerals and the jewels and the gold that was in the belly of the

earth that those foolish people were cooking out and fashioning their own graven images.

I don't have to go to the church where they have fashioned afford of God

freedness, God fearing people, where they are fashion But they have thrown out

the power. As soon as you poured a sermon or an email or some

sort of devotional by one of these great preacher brethren here this morning, and

you tell somebody we're missing the power. We need to get a hold of

this power immediately they want to alienate you. There is nothing at all stranger

amongst the religious people, even Apostle Paul and Peter and Jesus. We're alienated

by the worst number one religion to the Ism. The Pharisees did not like

her. The fact that somebody said he got the my Tannics and the muss

and America. What's a missing the Messida, I'm telling somebody you do real

life? Oh God, King don't trust. His name is the mana man.

He has stopped. He has stopped for somethingized. It was kepping away

when we were in exile, when we were in top Kidning, and right

now he's gonna Situa said that predicament. He is still a Manuat, He

is still my sight and gardens like down you brother Samuel, when you were

preaching a couple of Friday nights ago, I was sitting in a sound bookcase.

I got back about five minutes later from a trip, and I'm positive

I saw this she kind of glory that I see most services at some point

in this building. The one time, we had a brother from Ohio here.

His brother had been an atheist and he had got converted and he was

living in the basement I believe of a hold in his church. God had

led him from atheism into salvation, into sanctification, and of course nominal churches

didn't like that. They didn't like him talking about it at the church.

So he finds hold in his churches and now he's got embraced Pentecostal lizard.

He didn't have any of the gifts of the spirit. He came down here

ten years. Ten years. His pastor was whoever, Benny Settlee, and

his pastor is a great man of God. But for ten years he'd come

here during the winter. I don't know why I'm telling this, but brother

Jesse, he'd got to realize that there's suck to these gifts of the spirit.

And in one particular service, I was praying over this girl that had

a lion's spirit in her. And I tried to be diplomatic and very easy

about letting the mom and dad know that God had revealed that to me.

And so just kind of I whispered, and I said, I said,

God can give to this girl from this line spirit because she's gonna tell that

Obama dad, he's going to be bad. He was so mister macho,

about six foot four, maybe two hundred pounds. In his spirit, he

looked the same. He didn't change his countenance, he didn't copy an attitude,

but in his spirit, I felt like he thought it was just a

little girl. How could she be possessed with such a spirit? How could

she be possessed with that? I just felt like he questioned it just some

slight way. And while we were praying, I said, won't be the

one that is down to what I just said, because it wasn't my words.

God delivered this little girl from this live spirit. And this big six

foot forward guy about two hundred pounds gets picked up like a bragg dog and

thrown twelve feet across the church and lands upside down on his head. If

you saw that, raise your hand. If you were an eyewitness to that,

Sister Walker, you saw it. Brother LaRue, you saw it.

Brother Philip, you saw it. Brother Jesse, you saw it. Brother

Dwayne Harrison saw it. Sister Crystal Harrison saw it. Happened because of the

spiritual warfare side inside. He was got an agreement perfectly with what the hole

that goos said in that moment. Won't be to the one that does not

believe what the preacher's saying. Listen, I didn't toss and turn on my

bed last. That's not being led this way for somebody in his way as

to the curb and say this is not for me. I'm not telling you

your luck the people of Israel that have been exiled because of immorality and idology.

But I am telling you there is something bothering you, and you've got

to get past it and give over it. I wish somebody saying, these

people came to the place they bowed before, craving images. You say,

I'll never get there. You let discouragement get the best of you. You

will, you get discomforted bad enough? You will? You ask Keith saw

about that. Whenever he lost the comfort that assures and the comfort that gives

strength, the very people he was doing away with the witches. He goes

and has his last meal with the witch of Indoor. That's very unsettling and

unnerving for me to realize that a man that some said is he not among

the prophets, not's not the spirit of God's shaking him. I'm telling you,

there's nothing at all wrong with somebody getting in the altar and praying for

a while. Here's what we do nowadays, coming, brother Caleb. Somebody

tries to pray for us, and as soon as they lay their hand on

us, we move and won't we get up and we're done praying, because

we don't want them thinking we're under them. We don't want them thinking then

we've got a problem. We try to save facing. Why don't you get

saving grace and forget about saving facing. There's been times, even me,

as the pastor, I'm wave right over here on the floor, face down,

and said, God, if I cannot get your help up, there's

no way we'll get through this. The preachers will walk past me. A

little while ago, as I was getting ready to preach, I said,

Hell, God, here we go again. I cannot Did I not say

that I couldnot do this? I need not have the words. I need

not have this spirical that I need but don't. God got a shiers,

had a God to come out street, and a God of all comfort,

and a God of all peace. Up well hop with? So who is

it amongst us this morning? It's face of the problems of life. Let's

earnestly plead. Let's earnestly entreat the Lord rather than bow before dumb and death

hones, Oh God, this was an offense to God, and their immorality

and idolatry led them into captivity. How do you know that your resistance to

do what God has pushed you to do will not lead you in the captivity?

How do you know the refusal? I believe it was brother or sister?

Would somebody recently responded to a text in that group message. They said,

if people would just do what God told them to do? You remember

that, brother? Would? Somebody said, if people would just do what

God told them to do and make the necessary adjustments and moves in their life,

they would not face some of the things that they're facing. You know

what, I don't know what would happen to sister Hannah? Howise she moved

an hour north of here, an hour south of here, two hours south

of here. But if within my power I can help, come on.

It's the truth, it's the truth. I don't know how Saul got to

that situation. I don't know how he got there other than rebellion, stubbornness,

and disobedience. I know we're hungry. I know we want to go,

so I keep preaching or stocking. But we don't feel like God's a

God of punishment. We don't feel like God's a God of persecution doing.

Even though the Bibles that all that live God in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution,

and all that live God in Christ Jesus shall be punished for the wrong

doing. Anybody that loves their child will punish them. Come on, if

you have Bibles over and look at verse number five through verse number eight of

that thirty nine chapter. Look at that verse just before our golden texts Isaiah

forty eighth, chapter number one. Isaiah had told Hezekiah, the King of

Judah, that hard times are forthcoming. And look at it, Isaiah thirty

nine and six. Behold the day's cod up. Today's come, the days

of hardship, the days of warfare, the days of the wilderness. They're

coming persecution, punishment because of what you're doing. And he said, all

that is in the house, everything that you've laid up in store, and

everything you've stowed away, I'm paraphrasing, it shall be carried away. In

the Bablon, nothing shall be left. I'll say. A prophesied and said

that the sons of his Akaiah shall be come unit. So in Bablon,

Wait a minute, who is his Akiah? He's the king of junior.

His lineage is posterity. He's supposed to rule over the random tudor head.

And the Bible said that God said, your sons will be castrated. And

I'll let you to know our children to not be here to prove steriously in

any way. We shu bring fath fruit and our reamind and we should not

be with enough in tactivity. It's loneliness. If just despair is a toxic

relationship? Are part i iss horley in the hall? This not talks me

all the to me for this lad with God and has a ki the one

that had been healed during the service, the one that had put that poultice

to the wound. He says, good are the words of the Lord.

That's not good what's good about it? Everything you've stowed away and right up

in store will be taken away. The things of the House of Come,

the instruments of the House of Come, the blessings within the House of God,

including your children, of your life. They'll be consternrated. Everything will

be taken away. And has a cod said we're good, then it wasn't

so concerning me. I could not imagine preachruemus stand up and up pooping and

saying it's okay that I'm making it. Tell that it's not okay that my

children, I'm not making that. What's good about it? What's good about

that? You'll tell me? Somebody tell me something good about that. That's

selfishness, selfishness and stubbornness a sin. I'm telling you, I've got so

much more to prints fried chicken sounding good to somebody. My children being units

and pablon is not the answer. Your children losing their children and their grandchildren,

You losing your family is not enough. I'm gonna share this. We

have a full time evangelists headquartered out of this church. Recently they've made their

assurance and their allegiance to us definite. I'm telling you we were out eating,

and they said, Pastor, I just want you to know we're with

you. We see what God's done, we see the fruits on the tree.

And since they have left and went back out, they have received a

wonderful word of assurance concerning one of their daughters. And then they text me

a few days ago and said their other daughter had somewhat drifted spiritually that's an

opinion of some and was attending a different type of church. There was not

a holiness or a sanctified church. And they said, Brother Brock said Brother

ej that their daughter would listening. Nathan and their children loaded up and went

to a country church somewhere out there in the country went to church with them.

Now, I'm telling you it matters who you're associated with. It matters

who you're affiliated with. These people could hear from Isaiah. Hey, you

know that's true. Not everybody had in Isaiah at this time. But if

you've got in Isaiah and you've got a spirit of God speaking to you and

you're blessed and you've found something, you better hold on to it. Now.

Oh I'm talking, I don't care a little bit of know it.

I'm growing out home. Guess there right now. Why no world? Would

you set it for good? At least I'm gonna make it a heaven.

Why what did I say, I've got that good such a lace ship went

Todd. Let my son come home. Bro, My father had come home.

Even the woman and recognize ue who the prophet was that passed by way.

She said, let's build him a place. Because of her posterity,

because of her prosperity. It had to be. You can't throw the preacher

out. I was preaching the message a couple of weeks ago on a Sunday

night. They told me it's going everywhere. What was the title of that

message? Said? You fire the prophets twenty twenty vision. Oh, I

see it now after the aftermath, after the devastation. In the last twenty

minutes of that message, Brother Waller said, I've been in Pentecostal church fifty

something years. I've been to some of the biggest and the best camp meetings

through off the landing, he said, But I've never seen the Holy Ghost

move her in that kind of manner. I don't know why God was spiringful

the vessel that night. I don't know what God was mindful on that prophet

isail. It means up House, and he was telling them and mindful of

you. And I don't want to tell my sister and my brother this morning.

God is mindful of you. Now. It's not okay that you be

fruitless, Mama, Daddy, preacher, associate preacher, pastor preachers. There's

twelve of you, the preachers overseas. It's affiliating first associated with us.

Preacher. It's not okay that it's good for us. And we got pensions,

paychecks and parsonages, wall of which I do not have. It's not

good enough that you have a position. What we need is a word from

the Lord and Mama that baby can tell when you're lifeless. And I don't

want nobody's husband or wife to go home to preach to them. I don't

want anybody to make family turn on any worse. I don't want anybody to

rock the boat. I'm not want you to tell your probably go sons and

daughters at the church and say, hey, Pastor House said this and said

that I've said anything. The only thing I've said is there is comforting strength

and comforting assurance that is in this text right here, no matter how far

out they've gone or no matter how far as you've gone, it doesn't matter

the distance that you've alienated yourself from God. God is there to help you.

What I'm saying is comfort yet comfort Ye, I'm sure Isaiah had a

better understanding of what the nation is you had done than I do. Then

what's in this writing, brother Sterot, what's in this writing is appalling.

It's embarrassing that people who call themselves the people of God would be in such

a condition. Your children can see you, mom and dad, preacher,

since the pastor all of you preachers, missionaries, your children can see it

when you ain't got it. All of you know, when that preacher gets

the bar and preaches, you can tell he's preached that fiftieth time, and

you can tell it ain't sermon specific. How do you know that? Because

the altars are burying? Tie this together? The Bible speaks often about baron

altars, meaning there's no sacrifice, there's no humbling, there's no ubility,

there's no change. As I know, our churches got to where they taken

the altars out of the churches and there's no longer altar services that y'all know

that. Why because they don't want to sacrifice. Is that our reasonable service?

That we present our bodies unto God, a living sacrifice, holy acceptablee

to God. That's our reasonable service. We can reason that that's smart.

That's a good thing to do. And brother Jesse, Brother Jesse, when

you get that new church built, the platform is gonna be a lot higher

than this one. You see. I like the risk. If you see

that, I'm a risk of God, Brother Christ you probably know this is

while we're fishing. I like to stand right on the edge of the boat.

I know the ways are coming, and I know it's probably just a

matter of time before I get knocked in. But hey, I just went

and I got a life tracking on. But I like living life on the

edge. You see me rather appreciated, Get it, pre but you should

not be living lifeful To add spiritually, all sweet Lamb of God, Isaiah

can tell what's going on. Isaiah understands that there's been a collapse boorly and

spiritually. I'm not saying that your condition, but these people have been rebelling,

rebelling against God and their sin and carried them into captivity. But if

you look, even though it's so bleaked, the preacher gets annoying it,

and does what brother jeremy house doing this morning? Comfort ye, comf ye

sweet Lamb of God, as shout material and then God calls them sons and

daughters. Comfort ye, my people, saith your God. And he goes

o to speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem and cry unto her that her warfare is

accomplished, that her iniquity is part of for that she has received in the

Lord Hens trouble for all for sin. These people are about to find help.

Can you hear it? Can you hear it? I hear it's coming

from the horizon. Somebody in this fielding to be able to testify this tirement

next year. I got my help, I got what I needed. I

was comforted. The Lord is making a way for them to escape the situation.

Comfort and strength is and right to bring forth deliberance. Sin is soon

to be abolished, and alone with it to paralyze, and guilt and shame

will be abandoned. That's shout with terry right there, brother Roquet. And

what about our cotext concerning the woman of Samaria who met Jesus at the well?

Our brother read John chapter number four, verses number twenty eight, twenty

nine. The Bible said the woman then left her water pot and went her

way into the city, and said to the men, come see a man

which told me all things that ever I did, is not this the Christ?

You know she left more than the water pot that day, right,

the Bible said, she left behind her water pot. You know what the

children is when we're gonna leave behind some other things, wrote the children of

is Norm and this woman of Samaria, they left behind some ill, they

left behind, some shame, they left to hide, some shin. Wouldn't

it be wonder part for somebody to leave her some things behind her? This

all? And I want to answer the thought of somebody's mind right now.

Yes, I know you, Yes, I know what you're dealing with.

Yes, I'm familiar with you. I'll say you knew his people too.

What is the thought of that? Yes, I'm familiar with your circumstances and

situ Wait when you barely make it the church, and it took a miracle

to get the mattress off your back, and you're struggling. You can't left

up holding hands without wrapping down. And I don't think it's just past the

mile that sees it. I didn't ball. He brother Philip can see it.

I think they'll talk that Danny can see it, Brother Danny, I

got to everybody could see it. Well, you know my circumstances and my

situation. Yeah. You ever been by jail, a county jail. Yeah,

I can see when somebody's in captivity. I can see when they can't

thet them holding hands without laughing. Now I can see somebody has cut their

wrists tethered to their ankles. I want it, crazy, but I can't

for this guilt and the same the cod said, you want to paint double

for you wanted, lost enough sleep for you, but you want to be

missing the novel. Yeah, I want you tempered gyee tumfert yee, I

fella happy. Is Bet a woman? She left the whale at the hottest

time of the day because she was ashamed of being a seed and puppet.

But she found her off in a desert place, spiritually a hot time of

the day. There's water here, she would say, But it is not

enough to quich my thirst, my inner thirst. I'm a deep ditch.

I'm not satisfied. I'm not getting this. I'm telling you, if you

do your Bible you understand what I'm saying. But she was not satisfied.

But when this man came, she wasn't silisfied. Now I said, it's

coming, It's coming. Your life here will tell on the horizon that comfort

is coming. I said, Comper's coming. Your life. Living water begin

to bubble up inside of her, brother Samuel, I have felt in as

out treats this morning, strength to starting to bubble up, forgiveness, wholeness,

and peace. The learn did not leave her in her terrible situation.

And there's there's someone here in this building this morning dealing with some things.

These people were gone through some of the things that you're going through. This

woman up to well somewhere, she had gone through some things, you know

what. She had gone through several husbands and once she had then was not

her own. Well. Want to let me know how that chicken taste says,

y'all want it so bad. But I'm interested in how this right here,

taste old taste can see that that sacrifice is good, The supreme sacrifice

is good. Getting an altar is good. My son Nathaniel was telling me

he was at what we considered to be a prominent church within our movement,

and he said that he was just over there, just in the spirit,

praying because of the back sliding condition of youth group people in that church.

He said, because I to spending some time with those people, I realized

just how back sliding they were, where their innu windows and some of the

things they said, some of the things they did, how they didn't have

a love for God, didn't have there alive, no Bible, red plan.

He said, I'm over there and praying. He said, I'd get

the spirit. Heaven came down, brother, than you said in a way

like you couldn't imagine. He said, I was interceding and supplicate for them

people and just pouring my heart out. Tears were flowing down brother Jesse.

Sweat was upon his brown. He said, I was literally in the spirit.

And then come to brother Jesse, he said that he's pasture. Come

over here and tempt you want the passion over the shoulder and said, hey,

brother Nathaniel, it's on the order of the bullet. It's okay.

Don't worry about it. What you could get him now and shull have church.

Brother Nathania said, I wouldn't praying anything through I wouldn't asking God to

forgive me an habitual sin or addiction or anything. He said, by us

there and I was praying for them in their religion. I was praying for

them and their deception and their misery and their angry. And he said,

hey, that's okay. They don't like sacrificing. They don't light terran and

the altar. That's the same thing. And that he got the hold of

ghost. We were somewhere else. God to ship me and sip ob as.

I drove about twelve hours knowing my son and get the Holy Ghost.

Guy had to obey God. You've got to obey God. I mean twelve

hours I drove. I told sister have before we left the house. God

said, do it this way. He'll fill with Brother Nathaniel with the Holy

Ghost. And Brother Nathaniel was praying fervently. That's the prayerth that ofvels much.

He was praying passionately. He was praying fiery. I mean he was

just wailing out, crying out, Oh God, and a brother come over

there. It's one of the season of evangelists within our movement. I'm not

down on our movement. But he said, Brother Nathaniel really take it.

Easy, God, here's your money. God loves you, God to you,

and just pouring in the honey and the syrup. And I sit there

and I said, hey, brother, with all new respect, whatever it

takes for him to get the Holy Ghost. And that brother kind of waiting

back up, and he let brother Nathaniel do what he knew he needed to

do. You know what, that brother wasn't able to praying through. But

I watched some other brothers up that my son when men as well a praying

mother. Nathaniel tou thrond of the Holy Ghost, and I'm getting this hot.

We you this morning, and we will pray you until he pie talk

with each stray. It's not God's will that somebody sit in bondage in the

House of God over a preacher that's got a problem with flip flok. The

Bible said in the words of Jesus, actually he said, you will put

heavy burdens upon heavy burdens upon the shoulders of these lords. You won't even

lift them with your little finger. I told some of them self righteous people

several years ago, I said, I guarantee you, Jesus cost the son

of God who had no place to call home, who didn't have nothing more,

just a few changing the garment. I said, I guarantee you he

weren't preaching her. And Stacy Adam said, or her floor as shime.

I'll come on. What's that better man? Jumpsy? Murphy chockson and Murphy

I said, no, the sun God he had tench and dirty feet up

and he walked up. He threw this ward and sounds up. There's too

many people under spiritual oppression because somebody took contradition and they throve too far.

They're founding them right through you. That I'm killing you. The copper in

the copper thing A proud pass never caused anybody to box like a press thinks

the out of you gonna call it anybody to beholding. Wash your hands before

you eat that corny stupid stof missing the point. The long point was Moses

levitical code was he you wouldn't ask yourself up And Jesus said, you guys

are looking at the outside, you need to look on the inside. I

believe in promoting holiness. I believe in modesty. I believe in being decent

and in order concerning dress and worship, and I believe in doing everything with

all of our mind. Let me ask you something. If you're putting on

a skippy outfit, you're doing it with all your mind. How much effort

does it take? We need to go, I need to go in some

cheese and crab bit. Does everybody loves Jesus or not? I'm telling somebody

comfort, cheating, comforts, seating. My wife's uncut hair does not save

her. My wife's long sleeves and long dresses do not save her, no

matter who box us, because she likes to wear them along. Well,

I remember when she wore mighty short, when she wore them a whole lot

shorter than what a lot of these people are getting their thrill and their spiritual

time of rebey and wearing a mid is? And what are you talking about

right now? I'm just talking about there are reasons why we get driven into

exile of Babylon. There are spirits that come in these gates, these eye

gates, and these aircakes. There are things that influence us. Does anybody

the Lord Jesus in the brother Tyler, I can keep breaking another hour,

but I don't want The people had gone through some things. This woman at

the well Brother road cap she had gone through a few husbands. I'll try

another one. I'll try another one. No satisfaction? Was it Mitch Jagger

just saying I can't get no satisfaction him one of them hard ruckers, Bud.

When I got saved, I felt satisfaction. There's no doubt and all

in my mind that these were some difficult days in years for some people.

In the third verse of the fortieth chapter of I said, here in echo,

can you hear, it's the voice of hope, Brother Jesse. Go

to that back hallway for that self righteous person that's trying to pick my sermon

apart. You don't like illustrations, and Apostle Paul was ministering, you first

start reading your Bible. For secondly, Apostle Paul was preaching, and this

prophet named Agubu was coming in. While it's preaching. He said, with

these you're gonna go bown. That's an illustration if I've ever seen work and

Jesus preaching given all the mental illustrations, saying behold, I saw I went

forth. So probably off in the distance was the farmer that didn't care anything

about the gospel seed and was walking out of the barn with a satual seed.

I love what I feel. But suddenly there was an echo, a

voice of hope. Comfort you, Comfort you, comforte working. You talking

about a drink of fresh water. You talking about a breath of fresh air

when you're in the hot as blazes, when you're in the wilderness and you're

in warfare in the distance. Isaiah was prophesied at the time of the coming

of the Lord, there would be a voice heard in the mister, spiritual

warfare. When religious nuts had taken over todays of self righteous creatures had taken

over that religion. The Romans had taken over the world, and it's just

total chaos and calamity. And out there in the wilderness is a creature with

crazy hair, wearing camel's firm in his pockets, locus and wild honey.

He's munching on locus and wild honey and talking full of locus. I wish

I had it right now to Egypt. He wasn't in Palace Hall, he

wasn't in conscience Palace. Where is that voice coming from. It's not the

upper room. It's not that February Revival at twenty twenty three. No,

it's that first week of February twenty twenty four, when I'm in warfare,

when I'm in a wilderness. Then I thought, I just can't give it

anymore. I just can't take it any bold. I just don't messing up.

There's something wrong with me. And don't we all of this? Did

you hear that the woman at the well, she would say, come see

man that told me everything I did? And ISAAA could say did? I'll

not tell you, God show me everything you did. But let's stand.

Can you hear the voice of hope, the voice of deliverance, the force

of mercy has one word comfort. It's the worse of one crying in the

wilderness. Be living an exile. Preacher makes me feel like I'm in a

desert. It's as hot as plasis. It's the daytime, and I'm still

miserable. I'm so thirsty. It's the church service, but still so thirsty.

Oh your solf thirsty. You're in a warning us. You're so weary,

You're in the water of your life. What the Bible is saying to

you. You can be comforted no matter what situation you're in. The Apostle

Paul talked about hardships that would come back to the church a treat persecution that

will come, and punishment that would come to the sinner's persecution that will come

to the saint. And first, as lorne As chapter number four, brother

Jesse, come to the pan, And the Bible says, for the Lord

himself shall descend from heaven with a shall, with a voice of the archangel,

and with the trump of God, and the dead of Christ shall rise.

First. Then we which are alive and remain, shall be called up

together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And

so shall we ever be with the Lord. And listen to this last verse.

Wherefore, comfort one another with these words. Let's spare our heads and

close our eyes this morning. I suspect I've preached now for an hour and

fifteen minutes. Try my best to provide comfort, not cush not cushy,

not cozy. I'm thinking you all, we get the comfortable in this life.

But He has promised to provide you with comfort and strengths. If you're

in this building this morning and I preach to you, would you raise your

hand. There's one, two, three, four, five, six of

a forever. If you would do me a favor again, I clarify you're

not guilty of sin. I did not feel that, but you're so uncomfortable.

Want you to get in the altar, and I want everybody else to

stay behind. If you raise your hand and you're brave enough, I must

say in your sin. If you're one of these and raised your hand,

now, I want everybody else to remain in your pew for a second.

They're not gonna bear these burdens alone. Y'all. Just find a place that

knew those of you that raised your hand. Now, I want you to

look, everybody. Look from the left to the right. There's more than

ten. There's other people that admitted after we raised their hand. Evident.

I want you to help bear their burden. I want you to find somebody

to pray with. I don't know what these are dealing with. That eye

prob a message of comfort for them today. Find somebody to pray with it

for a while. Comfort. Comfort is coming. We're gonna stay courage.

Comfort as comfort. Sister, staying courage. You can be comforted by move

the Holy Ghost. You can be comforted by the promises of the Lord.

You can be comforted. You don't have to be coasy. You don't have

to be cushion. H but you can be comforted. That's it. That

is yes, said help us on the way. Comfort is gone. Jesus

is coming. Jesus is coming. Help is only way. Help us here,
