-
Mad direct your attention to the forty fifth chapter. We will be reading the
-
first five verses of that chapter again, Genesis chapter number forty five. Mad,
-
Director, attention to verse number one. We will be reading to verse
-
number five. Brother Nathaniel Genesis chapter number fifty and verse number fifteen, and
-
Brother Jesse Matthew Chapter number six versus numbers fourteen and fifteen. Did you have
-
a good weekend? We sure did to. I'm telling you what the goodness
-
of the Lord and his grace has been upon us. All for that,
-
I'm very thankful. Also, after the service tonight, we will be having
-
a first birthday party for baby Mariah. Now, I want to tell you
-
something that happened to me this morning that was most interesting. Very early this
-
morning, my alarm clock went off. One of the benefits of being self
-
employed is you don't have to set an alarm clock. Okay, so I
-
thought, wow, it's been many, many, many years since I woke
-
up to an alarm clock. And I usually wake up between five point thirty
-
or six thirty. If I'm really tired and have preached hard or something,
-
I wake up late at six thirty. Okay, So my alarm clock goes
-
off, and there's this flashing light with letters on this screen is notifying me
-
that Samuel and Megan's baby is due to be born Simon. Today's is due
-
date. That's what I have put in my phone. And he's been with
-
us now for a couple of weeks, right, sister Megan, how many
-
three weeks? He came three weeks early? Now that Sunday school superintendent over
-
there talked to us last Sunday morning about coming to church a little bit early.
-
I don't know what halfer, brother Jesse. I didn't look at the
-
class rooms or look at the number in attendance or notice anything, particularly because
-
I wasn't looking for it. But I'm sure the Sunday School superintendent was looking
-
for it. How many of you know the Lord is looking for us.
-
I'm glad you're here this morning. He came looking for you, he really
-
did. He came to see if you're here, and I know he was
-
already here, but you know what I mean. So just do your best
-
attend service when you can. We miss brother Jonathan Edwards. He is having
-
to work hardly, effor does he have to work on Sunday? The very
-
next Sunday? After we begin our new Sunday school program. He loses his
-
perfect attendance for the year twenty twenty four. I'm telling you he can't win
-
for losing. But we miss your brother Jonathan. All right, brother Nathaniel,
-
when you read Genesis chapter number fifteen and burst Genesis chapter number fifty and
-
verse number fifteen, And when Joseph's brethren saw that their father was dead,
-
they said, Joseph will peradventure hate us, and will certainly require of us
-
all the evil which we did unto him. Joseph will perdventure hate us,
-
Brother Jesse Matthew, chapter number six, verses number fourteen and fifteen. For
-
if ye forgive me in their trespasses, your heavenly father will also forgive you.
-
But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your father forgive
-
your trespassage. Oh may the Lord help us? Right? Okay, let's
-
stand for the reading of our golden text. These passages of scripture have been
-
a blessing to me throughout this past weekend. The Bible says, then Joseph
-
could not refrain himself before all of them that stood by him, and he
-
cried fors every man to go out from me, he said, and there
-
stood no man with him, while Joseph made himself known unto his brethren,
-
and he wept aloud, and the Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh heard.
-
And Joseph said, unto his brethren, I am Joseph. Does my father
-
yet live? And his brethren could not answer him, for they were troubled
-
at his presence, and they don't realize he's their brother. And Joseph said,
-
unto his brethren, come near to me, I pray you. And
-
they came near, and he said, I am Joseph, your brother.
-
Immediately they have an awareness of Oh, our sins have found us out when
-
he said, I am Joseph, your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt.
-
Now therefore be not grieved. Everybody, go our leave. That must
-
have been when he spoke these additional words. Now, therefore be not grieved
-
nor angry with yourselves that she sold me hither, For God did send me
-
before you to preserve life. As I was studying to preach and preparing to
-
bring these passages of scripture before you this morning, I was saying, Lord,
-
I know there's something in these five verses for this people. I can
-
tell that you have dealt with my heart concerning this. The Holy Ghost has
-
given me a title concerning these scriptures, and I want to point it out
-
to you. If you look at the latter part of verse number four,
-
it says, whom ye sold into Egypt. Look at the latter part of
-
verse number five, for God did send me. I want to preach on
-
the joint of Joseph discerning the Holy Ghost titled Joy of Joseph. You underline
-
things in your Bible underlying that whom ye sold God did send me sent,
-
not sold. Joseph believed that. Praise the Lord. Let's pray, Heavenly
-
Father, we thank you, and we praise you for the opportunity to be
-
in your house. I pray that you would anoint this thy servants of God
-
in my mouth. Help me to say only the things that you would have
-
me to say, nothing more or less. Anoint the hears of this thy
-
people, that they might hear what it is the spirit saith unto the Church's
-
Lord. I pray God that you would help us to have these words in
-
our heart when we leave this place. Let these sayings go below the shoulders.
-
Let them be that heart that soul of that spirit. I pray that
-
we would not be hearers only, but that we would heed Lord. May
-
we depart this place joyfully and not sorrowfully, in Jesus's name, And the
-
church says, Amen, look at your neighbor and say, hey, neighbor,
-
how did Joseph do it? He had a joy in his heart.
-
Our text is found in an Old Testament book of the Holy Bible, the
-
Book of Genesis. This is the first of sixty six books. This is
-
the beginning of God's written word to mankind. In this sacred writing we find
-
the origins of so many things. Truly, it is a book of beginnings.
-
Not only is Genesis the first book of the sixty six books of the
-
Holy Bible, it is also the first book of the Pentitug or the Torah
-
that is known as the Law of Moses to the Jews, the Law of
-
Moses. I want to tell us, as gentile believers, that we believe
-
it to be the law of God, not the law of Moses. Every
-
scripture, every passage of scripture, every verse that's in this sacred divine library,
-
it is God breathed, God inspired. These are not the words of
-
Moses that we're speaking of right. Here this record of the origins of all
-
forms of life, the Book of the Genesis. This is the word of
-
God. I appreciate the Word of God. That's why I have a problem
-
when people begin to taint it perverted with all of these other perversions. I
-
appreciate the Lord for this authorized King James translationist not a version. This is
-
the translation for the English speaking people. It has worked throughout the ages.
-
Generations upon generations have handed this precious authorizem King James version down from one hand
-
to another, and I thank God for it. I know that the children
-
of israelciated the Torah, or the Law of God, and I believe that
-
every one of these words came directly from the mouth of God. They did
-
not come out of the mouth of Moses. So we have now received clarification
-
concerning this Book of Genesis. It's not for us to try to do some
-
research and disprove the accuracy of this book. Although there are plenty of archaeologists
-
proving very well that Noah's flood really did happen. The more they try to
-
disprove things that are found in the Word of God, the more they affirm
-
it and approve it. So I believe that the Word of God is true,
-
no matter what any discoverer makes, no matter the discoveries that they make
-
year after year. I believe the Word of God is true. And so
-
as we trust this this precious book called the Bible, and as we read
-
this record of the beginning of time, the beginning of life, the beginning
-
of homes, the beginning of families, the beginning of sin, the beginning
-
of sadness, the beginning of sorrow, the beginning of suffering, the beginning
-
of salvation, the beginning of the nation of Israel. But something else stood
-
out to me. I mean it, it really stood out to me.
-
This past weekend, my life has been forever changed. The Almighty God summons
-
me into his presence, and I have fallen awe struck in his presence,
-
and I have heard him speaking into my soul concerning the joy of Jove.
-
Of how did this man survive such a trial as betrayal of his own brethren?
-
How did this man survive such a trial as being sold into slavery,
-
but yet eventually becoming pharaoh, second in command, the Hebrew pharaoh over the
-
land of Egypt. He had an extreme joy. Can I tell you that
-
joy is impossible without forgiveness. I will put an emphasis on forgiveness this morning.
-
We will speak a little bit of guilt and shame. I feel like
-
there's a lot of people today dealing with guilt and shame. There's a lot
-
of people living with regret. And so as I pondered on the joy of
-
Joseph, I wondered about that, how the Holy Ghost had spoken that into
-
my heart. And I thought of the trials and the hardships of Joseph,
-
and I thought, how could such a man have such joy? And how
-
did he get over these things that so perplexed him and certainly bothered him.
-
If Elijah was a man subject to like passions as we are, surely this
-
man, Joseph, was a man subject to like passions as we are.
-
And as Elijah had to pray through these things that troubled him, there is
-
no doubt that Joseph must have prayed through some things that troubled him as well.
-
We heard our brother read our codtext a little while ago about us forgiving
-
our fellow man in order for our heavenly Father to forgive us. And so
-
as I pondered the life of Joseph, and I searched my soul and my
-
spirit for the reason of this extreme joy that Joseph possessed. I said,
-
Lord, when did this begin? How could this be? And in this
-
book of the Bible I found what seemingly was the beginning of forgiveness. For
-
many years now I have searched the scripture and an effort to find where Adam
-
asked the Lord to forgive him for partaking of the forbidden thing. Instead of
-
Adam repenting of his sin, he blamed his wife. And for those of
-
you that have a good memory, you will remember with me that around this
-
time last year, I preached a sermon titled the Blame Game, and I
-
spoke along these lines. And then sometime later, soon after that message,
-
I preached another message titled the same Game, talking about people that just get
-
stuck in a cycle, in a vicious cycle or a vicious routine, some
-
praying the altars only to go out sin again, that come back into the
-
altar repent, but they don't mean it, Brother Jesse. So they get
-
into this cycle, and this cycle needs to be broken, but they don't
-
really have a repentant heart towards the Lord. They don't have godly sorrow concerning
-
their trespasses and offenses against the Lord. And so I noticed that, brother
-
Tyler. The first instance of somebody somewhat asking for forgiveness was when Pharaoh pled
-
with Moses and said, I'm telling you, Moses, I've done some things
-
wrong. Take your people and get out of here. It wasn't when Adam
-
had transgressed in sin. I could not find anywhere in the Bible where Adam
-
began to make a sacrifice and he rent his heart and tore his heart and
-
said, God, would you please forgive me for my sin. In fact,
-
a lot of times, whatever preachers begin to preach on forgiveness, they
-
reach as far into the Bible as David to find somebody really with a repentant
-
at heart, somebody that was saying, created me a clean heart, O
-
God, and renew in me a right spirit. And as I was tempted
-
to do the same thing, I said, Lord. In the book of
-
orch and surely there is an example of someone attempting to achieve forgiveness. Surely
-
there's somebody in this book that's trying to do something better than they've been doing,
-
that's trying to behave better, trying to put the past behind them and
-
reach up to those things that are before them. And I thought about Esau,
-
how he carefully saw repentance with tears, but he was unable to achieve
-
it because he was not truly sorry for what he had done. And we
-
know the accusations against him, We know why the Bible says God hated him
-
and yet loved his brother Jacob. So we know that Esau would have been
-
the uncle of Joseph, and Joseph would have known what it's like to watch
-
a man die as he sucks upon the bitter morsel of bitterness. And Joseph
-
must have heard his father talk about his brother Esau, speaking of the brother
-
of Jacob, Esau. Joseph must have heard Jacob talk about the betrayal of
-
the birthright. He must have heard his father Jacob talk about the blessings of
-
the Lord, and how God had disapproved of the actions of Esau and had
-
approved of the actions of Jacob. There must have been some sort of teaching
-
and training in the life of Joseph that made him such a person that,
-
even though he was facing extreme hardships such as these, and somehow he would
-
not be overcome by bitterness. There's nearly sixty five people in this building this
-
morning, and I believe it's safe for us to assume and say that there
-
has to be at least two or three people in this building dealing with bitterness.
-
I know that one time in the New Testament, one of the Apostolic
-
brethren was preaching. There was somebody that came into their presence and begin to
-
communicate with them, And after a short period of time, that Apostolic brother
-
said, I perceive that you are in the very gall of bitterness. You
-
see, Joseph refused to allow the tentacles of bitterness to wrap around his soul.
-
There is no doubt that family had been haunted by the defecting of Esau,
-
the demise of Esaul. When I think about life, I know that
-
life has its lessons, and I know that not everybody lives and learns.
-
Everybody lives for some time, some for a longer time than others. But
-
I have seen, Sister Wood, that very few people learn life's lessons.
-
Years ago, you could be assured that that person would learn whatever it is
-
that they were supposed to learn during a hardship or during a trial but now
-
today, it does not matter how much the preacher preaches on the topic.
-
It does not matter how much the Holy Gost moves on the heart of some
-
individual. It doesn't matter if you have tones and interpretation that is specific for
-
that individual, Brother Jesse. They just seem help bent and help bound,
-
and they have no desire whatsoever to learn anything out of their trial or their
-
hardships. They don't come out on the other side better they come out bitter.
-
We're gonna go somewhere here in a minute. I'm trying to lay a
-
foundation and trying to grab every person I can by the heel and drag them
-
into this dog fight, because already I have detected and sense that there are
-
people in this building attempting the stiff arm the word of God and shove themselves
-
onto the sidelines. But I have your number. God has dealt with me
-
all week long. My bride could tell you that I have been very sober
-
throughout this weekend. Brother Chris Burnett could tell you, although we were on
-
the lake fishing together, that I had my mind on something more than fishing.
-
I appreciated the fellowship, I appreciate the friendship. I'm telling you though,
-
but God has shook me to the core of my being. I went
-
to bed last night at eight thirty pm and I told Sister Howell, I
-
said, my life has been forever changed. The morn has shaken me in
-
a way that I have never been shook before. And I feel like God
-
is going to speak to his people in the morning. I did not tell
-
her of the topic or what I would be preaching on. I did not
-
give her our passages of scripture. I did not give her a golden text.
-
But I said, Honey, I'm telling you, I've got something on
-
my heart for this people in the morning. And we sit there on that
-
pew, and we choose right now whether to release bitterness and embrace joy.
-
Which will it be? Will you release regret and embrace joy? Which will
-
it be? I feel like there's somebody in this fielding you better get a
-
hold of this message this morning. And so, in an effort to find
-
if Adam had repented of his sin, I was unsuccessful. In an effort
-
to find if Eve had repented of her sin, I was somewhat unsuccessful.
-
In fact, their descendants, their immediate offspring, both Cain and Abel,
-
whenever they tried to make repentance and offer their sacrifices up to the Lord.
-
One did it half heartedly? Why did one do it half heartedly? I
-
believe a brother just preached on that this past Friday night. Half hearted sacrifices,
-
parted offerings. Where did Kin learn how to do that? Probably because
-
of the nod chalant behavior and the attitude of his father Abraham. I feel
-
like there's somebody in this building this morning. If you don't release regret,
-
guilt, and shame and bitterness, you're gonna find yourself in hell. Those
-
are very harsh and stern words, but they are very true. We know
-
that King went on to say concerning his punishment because he had been rejected of
-
the Lord because of his half hearted sacrifice. Upon his rejection of the Lord,
-
the Bible said that Kin said, my punishment is greater than I can
-
bear. Kin had been sent into the land of Nod without God, and
-
the thought of not having God on his side was greater than he could bear.
-
Is Saul dealing with the fact that God no longer loved him but hated
-
him. The Bible said that God is angry with the wicked every day,
-
and I want you to know it is important that you forgive others, but
-
it's also most important that you forgive yourself. The sin of unforgiveness will damn
-
somebody to hell, whether it's you not being willing to forgive yourself or forgive
-
your neighbor. You've forgiven your neighbor is very important, but also you forgiving
-
yourself is important. You find that these men, brother Jesse, that are
-
in this first book of the Bible, that have committed offense against God and
-
against their brother some of those men were willing to offer sacrifice and offer a
-
true repentance for their sin, while others were not truly sorry for their offense
-
or what they had done wrong. I'm telling your brother Samuel, is saw
-
where Pharaoh admitted his sin, and it appears to me that he requested forgiveness.
-
But as I continue to read the story of Pharaoh, I noticed that
-
his repentance wasn't genuine. The mighty Pharaoh could have benefited from the naught to
-
preaching of the Prophet Moses. He also could have benefited from the anointed preaching
-
of the Prophet Isaiah. From many, many many years later, there would
-
be a prophet on a mission just like I am on this morning. And
-
that prophet's name was Isaiah. And Isaiah chapter number thirteen, verse number fifteen.
-
You find where Isaiah said, for thus saith the Lord God, the
-
Holy One of Israel, in returning and rest shall ye be saved. In
-
quietness and in comfortness shall be your street? And ye would not we find
-
that the prophet I say it, just like the prophet Moses was letting those
-
that were hearing the words of these great men of God speak. They were
-
saying, to those people, you must turn from your sin. The Bible
-
saip that God their sorrow worketh repentance. And after that God has granted you
-
forgiveness, you have to pick yourself up by the nap for the net touched
-
your knees and elbows off and go onto the glory of God. I want
-
to preach to us this morning a certain entitled the Chore of Joseph. And
-
so we go back thinking about Pharaoh, because that is a familiar position and
-
a famuliar person to Joseph. So what was wrong with Pharaoh? You see,
-
Pharaoh did not listen to the preacher who had been sent to him by
-
God. He owed me toy with Moses and the Lord if he could have
-
heard the words of Moses more clearly in a soul, if he had removed
-
all of the destructions of the kingdom, and he could have rear he heard
-
what Moses was saying, this man could have found repentance, and no doubt
-
I've been a blessing of God's people as well, asked to the Lord.
-
But no, he would not heed the words of the Lord. The prophet
-
Isaia was saying, if you'll just return to God and set abound, you
-
will find rest in yourself. You will find the dee sa of Pisa,
-
and a quietness and a competence in God. As so many people today,
-
they are unlike the chosen. They're too busy looking at their wounds. The
-
two busy looking at the offensives of their neighbor, of some person on the
-
God, her family member. The two busy studying the wounds, and they're
-
not looking at the savior. I'm preaching now. You see the bier sat
-
there and our gold and texted it. There was some herd that would think
-
that they had been served, while others interpreted it as they had been sent.
-
I know this many biblical characters that they have been put in the position
-
that Jonesph was put into, they would have a lost style. They would
-
have got her in a stale prison house. But not Joseph. He did
-
not feel a lot who Those wounds were wounds unto death. Neither did the
-
Son of God when Judas portrayed him. There is no doubt that the offense
-
was great. That's gotta save You're some well preached her to us this pastor
-
Friday night with the naughty. There no dolt that what he done was Atrosiah.
-
There's no doctor that it was official to the father and the son.
-
It was so wounde in the mind of Judas that he could not burn,
-
but sister would. If Judas could have just got a hold of the idea
-
that he could be forgiven for the off picture. If he don't want to
-
have been forgiven, my God, I'm telling you, Jesus would have met
-
him there. Jesus would have healed the wound in his mind. Jesus would
-
have all the cars their soul. I'm talking to somebody this morning. You
-
can't be forgiven. If you want to be forgiven, you are forgiven.
-
If you have asked him to forgive you, if you got to to forgive
-
yourself. Hell, you help me right here. This morning the Pharaoh did
-
not want to listen to the preacher. He rather toilet with Moses, just
-
like these tuna mes will toiling her with Isaiah. And Isaiah said, there's
-
no doubt calamity and chaosa is coming. There's no doubt the iron pistol I
-
got a condition won't be shaken her in your facer, and he wheels overthrow
-
your land and drive your heads back to battle. Lad Now I feel like
-
her. There's somebody in this fielding her this morning. You have not yet
-
realized her. Just how closer you are for the enemy to come in like
-
a blood and raise up for a standard is selfer a this tune. And
-
if you do not have her the standard up for repentan sir, and the
-
standard of forginness and the standard of tail in your life, you will offered
-
no resistance whatsoever. Head to the esses of the adversary. Who could sit
-
there and be as pipeless as you are. And I'm telling you you better
-
praid and ask God to give you creative power in that soul. You gotta
-
ask God to preach it and loveful in your soul you might come down me
-
into the throw the case. Let you not find messing and prays to help
-
in the tower of need. Let's have got to be willing. You've got
-
to have faith to believe. I can find help, I can find forgetness,
-
I can be set free. Preacher, you're preaching to me, but
-
I still don't believe him. That's okay, that's okay. You can have
-
that victim mentality all you want to. But Dave, whose offenses were great,
-
his offenses were great. In fact, the shame that he bore is
-
so great. But brother Jesse, I read in the Bible where a sin
-
that abound grace did much more bound. I'm not saying that you can willfully
-
walk away from God and say I'm gonna go out and sold my waters,
-
and I'm gonna sleep with the hobs and a hawk Pien, and I'm gonna
-
come home without any tipe of scars. I'm gonna come home smelling like roses.
-
No, I'm telling you, if you, on your own choose to
-
go into a land that is a land of captivity, if you yourself walk
-
yourself there, and you go into that forbidden city, and you cross the
-
intrigate and you go in there and you live like war among the wickedness and
-
the lewdness of a secular society. I am not saying you are like Joseph,
-
and I am not saying that you will find your way out. And
-
I am saying that there has been these people that have unwillingly stumbled in life,
-
and they have faltered, and they have failed, and they have found
-
themselves to be a complete failure. There are people that are suffering there because
-
of the sisions that were not their own decisions. They are suffering because of
-
traices that they did not make. But are jes see their spouses here that
-
are suffering because a companion decided to betray them. There are people that are
-
suffering here right now because one friend decided to murder another friend and I was
-
in hospital. We had a football player, his name was Curtis Taxi.
-
He would get on the front lines and he would offer defense for those of
-
us that were on offense and brother one sometimes on Curtison. He would go
-
through there like a bulldozer, making a podcast for us to follow. But
-
I want you to know her. It did not stop there when the car
-
City football player star. It did not stop there with a Hedson robuster dude
-
handing this picture in the what do you call it? The yearbook? No,
-
that's to him in the yearbook. You're five a man named Michael Hinson.
-
I went to school with both of these boys and Froda Nathaniel. They
-
went on to be friends. Years would buy from nineteen ninety four under twenty
-
eleven. They had a friendship for the jesse that must people would have ended.
-
But one day truck's got between them, and a truck deal went bad
-
and little old friend Mic hitsing. He's shot to Curnis Chechi. I think
-
it was twenty to thirty times, and then he stabbed him in a better
-
than thirteen times. I went to school with him. Boys, when we
-
signed the year ups, we'd have never thought that we should have put beside
-
that picture a future murderer f a chessie, even a potter had the fall
-
doggage and the paron caught the same my kitchen would be a murderer. I
-
would have never said that he was gonna murder Curtis Chising, not his best
-
friend. You don't know what bull cheer of mine. I remember hearing about
-
that. It's been twelve years ago, at twenty eleven, we heard that
-
the family a Chexie was having a hard time forgiving her my kitchen. I'm
-
sure they were. I'm telling you that would be a hard thing to do.
-
It's the for deal somebody that took the life to your side on the
-
man. I'm telling you, God knows every sinner took the light of the
-
sight, and God is willing to forgem every person within humanitate, prison and
-
future. For the mothers all praise the Lord. This message is slightly different
-
this morning, but it spollowed it. How can God do that? I
-
have no idea how he can do that. I despise capture so much that
-
I'm having a hard time even saying the word cancer because of what it's doing
-
to my son. But after a few days ago, feeling the Holy Ghost
-
promptly just to get down beside his bedside as he laid their riddle with infection,
-
and we didn't know which way it would go. And while I was
-
in there visiting with him, the Holy Ghost kept saying, just kneel by
-
his bedside and just take his hand and just pray ever so softly and tenderly.
-
That's a different manner than I prayed for people before, Brother Philip,
-
and it just kept coming to me the way the servant has continued to come
-
to me. And I just prayed with Brother Philip, and then the ladies
-
were having a baby shower, and the holy ghosts got to moving and the
-
baby shower around the same time, and Brother Philip, all of these precious
-
people were praying for you, and we saw that God performed a notable miracle
-
on your behalf. Even the doctor said that next morning. These things do
-
not happen like this, and the numbers just don't double, and especially don't
-
do more than triple over a short period of time, as yours has done.
-
Brother Tessy, I know that we received a good results, but that
-
does not make me have any better feelings concerning cancer. I'm telling you I'm
-
not I'm wanting to pucker up and kiss cancer in the mouth. I'm not
-
wanting to go buy the cancer of copy. It's with me every day I
-
think about it. I'm telling you, I turn my frustration, my anger,
-
and my hatred on the devil. I'm turning devil. If you're behind
-
this, you're being unsuccessful because I hate you, Lord than I've ever hated
-
you. I don't you know when we lost to my grand's son chapter he
-
was born prematurely. He was doing good. Send me the tide change.
-
What was rolling in for good is now old and out for bad. And
-
father Jessee her. I remember standing there when he took his last breath in
-
his mother in father's arms. Then I said to myself, damn one,
-
you think that you're gonna make me bidder. I'm telling you that I hate
-
you. I hate you, devil. You need to turn the angel that's
-
inside of you this feelings and gonna trust trace him that's inside of you on
-
the temple. That's what Joseph did. He said to talk who had their
-
parents of me, that you talk, you want control of my life.
-
You talk, you sent me away. But it was not you that sold
-
me. It was God. That's sit there, Brother Nethaniel, sister Rachel.
-
They don't kill like just a listener. The taking Maca I talked to.
-
He sold us in with this. But I want you to know.
-
Sit uself to a cousin, and God will bring us through around the joy
-
of Joseph. The Bible said that Jesus, when he considered that he was
-
soon to face Calvary's brown and have to climb up on that old cross and
-
be offered as a boody sacrifice for all of humanity. Upon consideration, he
-
said, for the joy set before me, I will and through the cross,
-
and I will despise the shame they come on now. Joseph didn't know
-
how Jesus was gonna do it. Joseph did not have the knowledge that we
-
have today. But we've got two memberical examples here that we can go through
-
something called a hardship or a try old hell. We pray join. Jesus
-
stood, let mister follow after. I said. He he's a student.
-
What mister follow after? And that's what we've got to believe. That is
-
still the Romans at twenty eight cock. All things work together for good if
-
you're called according to his purpose. It's looking for your good. I'm telling
-
somebody, we've gotta learn how to properly channel her energy and the feeling said,
-
you feel your soul. You can't turn it anywhere, You can't turn
-
it after. You gotta turn it the head. I'm telling you you don't
-
see it. What did you do? You are holding hor do you know
-
handing it? God will make this trial blessing, then it brings me to
-
my name. The Bible said that Joseph somehow had a proper understanding of what
-
was going on. Young peoples are important that we're paying attention when the preacher's
-
preaching, it's an important And when the Holy ghoste is the church into revival
-
and we're literally hitting the ways of revival head on, and we're getting the
-
Holy Ghost over spray on the old shipper's iron, I'm telling you that you
-
ought to have your head over the side of the boat and getting us past
-
and getting every bit of that holy ghost hydration that you can. You don't
-
person up, you don't have the Holy Ghost. We're knocking on another there
-
of revival. It's not going to be an announced revival. It's not going
-
to be a scheduled revival. I know when complicist to deal with me the
-
way he's dealing with me, or and the preacher or sucking. I'm not
-
going to schedule and depends on whom I missing, but I will and ready
-
for your person. I figured you rock. We are promised to revival through
-
the words of God. I still of God. I promised her to intial
-
restoration. A renewal. But you review. It's not that you don't know.
-
He refuse say to believe that you can be forgiven. He refused to
-
forgive yourself. Don't instruct me the baby even know what struck. You have
-
to man as you have to run up and receive. Beside that said,
-
per we're knocked on the door withviv It's been a year, just shy here
-
of wh we experienced that body revival. And already there's some praying and they're
-
seeking the Lord, and they're praying, and they're seeking the Lord and they're
-
praying. But there's some of you that don't have the holy ghosts. You
-
have not yet scheduled with your pastor one term meeting in far forest. It
-
tells me everything. If you're not getting in and praying with the church.
-
I'm not talking about those of you that drive further than forty miles, and
-
I'm talking about some of you that are flying under radar. You better deal
-
with that bitter cancer of unforgiveness or old sweet lamb of God. That's what
-
Isaiah was trying to do is tell these people you need to repent, and
-
you need to turn and you need to say I'm gonna go and sin no
-
more. Pharaoh had to be truly sorry. Him saying he was was not
-
enough. That's what we heard brother Samuel say this time last year, after
-
one of our services. He got away from the distractions. And for that
-
person, I'm actually parent everybody. That's what they're gonna do. They're gonna
-
pattern their experiences after somebody else. You ought to pattern it after the Bible,
-
and you ought to find your own. You need to experience in Jesus.
-
And your brother Samuel said. He went home and he said, he
-
fell down in this living room and he said, God, I'm the pastor's
-
son. I struggled the guitar. I do not live in sin. I
-
do not sin habitually, he said. But I just know that I don't
-
have peace in my soul with you the luck I should. And so therefore
-
I'm unable to flourish. When the preacher, don't you around my tree whatever,
-
that's just the house. And last Sunday they spread them a mirror around
-
this year after year, it's not making a difference. And Samuel got down
-
to the minty gritty with God and it got say true, and God begin
-
her and become a new creature in this living room. It did not happen
-
right here out eleven fifty three Cornelia Drive. It happened at twenty thirty two
-
Steve bus Suckle and I worked in the door. He didn't get the holy
-
ghost hearing of more than fifty three for real, your trial. This church
-
is not a sacred cow. He's being in not received their experiences in this
-
church house. Someone will receive your trups between the church and the polership.
-
Paul, it's not be in the building. I know some receipts. I'm
-
Bason here. I know some baptized in the Holy guests here. Hey,
-
I'm not looking for a new church building in order for you to five.
-
Hey, lets you feed in God. I'm not looking up for a new
-
touch ban and for our congregation and grow. I'm never looking for these sanctuary
-
here in order for you to five Chilling who said I have trolling he despite
-
the hardships? Who said, I tell you he despite the particular that's re
-
shaid. I tell her, if you're a heart, just a knowing,
-
we can get a church. Look at be preached to. We can receive
-
hope the same messages. Let's side Mason, the pre received, they breave
-
me, rocked the devil back to the Lord. I continue with See,
-
I have about two hours worth of preaching it. Then I'm trying to squeeze
-
in an hour, and it usually doesn't work very good. I've had a
-
burden for four or five days, and how am I supposed to preach all
-
this in less than sixty seventy minutes? Because your parents can talk to you
-
year at the year, and they don't get anywhere with you. I can
-
try to preach to you for an hour and a half, and I hope
-
we could get somewhere with you. But there are so many people today,
-
brother, they are not examples of forgiveness. There are many here today who
-
are shocked by Joseph's reactions of responses to the words of his brethren. But
-
Joseph understood that forgiveness is power. Joseph offered unconditional forgiveness before his breath and
-
repented. They did repent, but he had already forgiven them because he knew
-
he had been sent, not sold. He had been sent not sold counted
-
all joy. We fall into divers temptations, creature. I don't understand that.
-
I don't get that I do. I found the words of the Bible
-
to be true. It may be difficult to wrap our minds around Joseph forgiven
-
his brothers. It may be difficult for us to wrap our minds around the
-
Father Father God forgiven us for the sins that we committed that caused the death
-
of his son Jesus. But I want you to know that this man,
-
even though he had been offended and hurt so severely, he had already forgiven
-
his brethren before where they even asked him to do it. It's not a
-
matter of whether or not you're forgiven. It's a matter of whether or not
-
you will accept that forgiveness. You do realize every person within humanity, past,
-
present, and future have been forgiven. What they have to do is
-
accept it. Oh, come on now, if you could just get a
-
hold of out and realize, wait a minute, I should be trading that
-
vehicle and the loss of plainness says I'm forgiven. Yes, that should be
-
you that if you're wanting to do the same thing and you've got give on
-
your heart and you know you're not gonna do any better. And the Bible
-
said that with the Pharisees and the matter entious leaders of that day. They
-
brought that woman to Jesus who had been caught to in the hearing actor,
-
and left the man that was guilty too in the wakeful and left him behind
-
for a saying, when that castor down here, as they word a rabic
-
dog, that castor down because her sin was certainly damning. That cast her
-
down her because the words of the Moses, the law and Costs certainly said
-
stoned to death? But where is the other person? It was unholy judgment,
-
it was unholy tality. It was impured, it was taken. Oh,
-
come on now, and that's what some of us do. We come
-
and we're superficial art official reptens. We say, I'm been caught in a
-
very act. The preacher had my message. We knew here. We make
-
sure we don't mess off our hair. We make sure we don't mess off
-
our pictures. We must sure for a goomn, we don't mess off our
-
tests. And we lay here and we asked to forgiveness. But it's partial,
-
it's not complete. It's important. Come on that. He Jesus did
-
not like it. In the case of a rooman taught in adulty, he
-
did not like that the interprete transaction. I'm telling you you will have a
-
complete transaction. You will have their attentions of killing, he said, And
-
no more. That's what Jesus told this rooman. I forgive you, I
-
do not condemn you. But before you go, it not happen again,
-
I said, before you don't, just to be sure that you know so
-
it will not happen again. And when you pray you not to intend.
-
Oh, yes, sir for himself. You may have locked me in a
-
prison house, you may have three me, but I know you never happen
-
to me again. Then pull me. What's say No, it's like saying
-
no me ah, not getting this up, this burning. I'm telling you,
-
bralling me not to the tamplero to see this topic, I said,
-
he is what gets too complete. Total forgiveness as yours. You mean,
-
I'm forgiven. Yeah, accept it. I've got so much more to treat,
-
said, I keep treating U. Should we go to the house,
-
so Joseph realize, yes, I've been hurt severely. If you look at
-
the golden text that says, now therefore be not grieved nor angry with yourselves
-
that you saw me hither already immediately they had apparently started nudging one another and
-
saying, hey, we're in for it. There's no doubt that as Joseph
-
set up there upon the throne and figured that lion's head that was on the
-
end of the armress, there's no doubt that one of them brothers looked at
-
the other one they said, Man, that was a stupid idea. It's
-
come back to harness. Be sure your sins will find you out judgments upon
-
us. I'm sure some of them had big lumps going down their throat like
-
that Eger that it's one of that big burner book by a bug, you
-
know, just big lumps, brothers, Caleb. I'm sure some of them
-
pelled. Some of them probably got dazzy. Maybe the bodyguards asked one of
-
them like this waitress asked me this past week, sir, you okay,
-
have you ever ate something that gets stuck in you and your pipes down in
-
there and after about three or four minutes, it's still not going away?
-
And I did that at a restaurant. It got stuck right there, and
-
you know, for that three or four minutes, you wonders, it's a
-
heart attack or is that the food? What is that? And if you'll
-
get McDonald's French fries without drinking much, especially after preaching McDonald's fries alone will
-
do that to me and thy single time. It even does it to my
-
wrath and han on if you eat just the fries of themselves and you're really
-
hungry, and you eat a bunch of them quick. And that dear sweet
-
black waitress over there at Big V she said, sir, are you okay?
-
I guess she've been watching me, and she was talking to somebody In
-
mid conversation. She hollered across there and said, sir, are you okay?
-
And I just nodded at her and said, I'm okay, Mama,
-
I'm okay. I look okay. And that's what I'm asking somebody in this
-
building right here this morning, are you okay? And I know that Joseph
-
could tell by their countenance that something was not right. He could tell that
-
maybe some of them we're not truly sorry, but for the most part of
-
them, they were sorry. I'd say, brother. The thing, I
-
know that there was something that the bodyguards was saying, are you okay?
-
Can we get you something to treat what's wrong? Hey, brother Jesse.
-
We know how people are when fear gets a hold of them. God is
-
not wont to destroy you. I know that I've got the message this morning.
-
But this is not for your destruction. This is it for your salvation.
-
If you will find the those of saying he ain't don't beat yourself,
-
hop don't be angry at yourself. They should be sorry for what they got.
-
And the scouty riots, scoundrels, sorry, good for nothing brothers.
-
That's how they should be you when you're praying, that's how they should feel
-
when I have to feed the Joseph and saying forgive me, I'm sorry.
-
Oh yes, we should be sorry for our sin. But if you'll notice
-
that it's said right there, don't be angry with yourself that you sold me
-
hither someone might think, come and someone could say right here to somebody,
-
no sweat, no effort to strain at all, to say that. Really,
-
would you say that if you were Choseph, what you want to extinguish
-
their fire? What you want to put out their angry? Right now?
-
Whileless Joseph not like co out of it. I shook up all these years
-
so because he had a chore and a soul that newt list the acid for
-
dinner. This so you ever talk to somebody. Then they grew up.
-
Then they grew up the handle. Then he said, what happened? What
-
in the world calls that? Then you realize there's been something eating on there.
-
There's been some chewing over there, There's been something Keep the layety,
-
I love the fuck come on that. They realized her. Then Joseph said,
-
I am a chosen There was a quietness, there was a steelness,
-
there was a rest. When I say I have saved you, it would
-
happen that Jesus said, that would happen the church. I'm telling somebody right
-
here this voted, he will give you rest her for your told minute,
-
soul God, the moment of truth is manifested. And what's going to happen
-
in this day and hour? Someone expected oozies to come out in this day
-
and hour. Someone expect Joseph to request the sword from his bodyguard because they
-
let me in person be had every one. What would you do with the
-
history behind us that Joseph had the hind Us? What would you do?
-
No swept, no effort, no strain at all. I do the same
-
thing Joseph did. Wait a minute, Joseph's brethren sold him into slavery,
-
sending him away bound, left their baby brother in the hands of strangers that
-
could have relisted him physically, that did abuse him mentally. Then they went
-
home a suffered with their father presented his torn, bloodstained garments. They told
-
their father that Joseph had been killed by Wilde's savage, brute animal. This
-
was terrible enough. Then they hurt Joseph. They hurt Joseph year after year
-
after year because of one silly action that they didn't really think through. They
-
hurt their father, Jacob. He suffered for year upon year upon year.
-
Joseph suffered for year upon year upon year. We suffered because of other people's
-
choices, do we not? We suffered because of other people's bad decisions.
-
This offense was great. It was not a tiny offense. Joseph paid for
-
this year after year. In time there was a reunion of these family members.
-
And when it takes place, Joseph has become so powerful within the land
-
of his captivity. His captors had probably been executed. And I was thinking
-
about this careerfully over the weekend, and I said, what happened to his
-
captors? Those that brought him there into the land of captivity through the caravan.
-
What happened to them when they saw Joseph? Are you Are you the
-
one Pharaoh? Are you the yeah? I'm What did he do? Did
-
he order their execution? What happened all of those people that mishandled him while
-
he was in prison until he earned their confidence? I believe that I have
-
accurately concluded that he showed them all mercy because when I see how he handled
-
his brothers, who had created an even greater offense. Right, no doubt
-
every person that had offended him he had forgiven. So after pondering on the
-
words of our Golden text, Brother Jessee, I can't help but wonder that
-
all of these people that offended Joseph had been spared, and it's likely that
-
Joseph had forgiven them. And that's what we have to do. People have
-
offended us. Prodigal sons and prodigal daughters have offended us. People haven't heard
-
of Jesus said, you should not consider that a strange thing. Jesus said,
-
whatever they're gonna do to me, they're gonna do to you. Whatever
-
they have done to me, they're gonna do to you. How do the
-
leaders of the early Christian church that was so holy ghost infused a power pact?
-
How did they do what they did by the Jesse? How did they
-
do what they did without getting bitterness in their heart? How did widows come
-
to church knowing that their husbands have been cut in half the night before?
-
How did bitterness not get a hold of them. I'm telling you you can
-
choose to let bitterness get ahold of you if you want to. I'm telling
-
you, in this world we could see some abrupt changes and the pendulum could
-
swing to the other side where the anti Christ could have full reign and set
-
about the last seven years of time in a moment, but the jesting in
-
a moment, your mother could be widowed here because I would say, ouse
-
an independent of the customer holding this preacher, I'd be one of the first
-
time to be targeted by the spiritu of an anti Christ. Now let me
-
ask you something, Sister Hannah. It's easy right now, sitting on that
-
pew and saying I'm a pastor's daughter. I know he's gonna be on a
-
program in the mix. I know that he's getting annoyed and preaching her.
-
I know that our family's being lossed her. I know that I spect nothing
-
of the wonderful things, But what if the tide turned her and I was
-
murdered, had a bitterness would try to get to a hold of you.
-
And there is nothing a sinful executioner can do to anybody that's more harmful,
-
hard, debilitating, hard damning damn to get to somebody to get bitterness in
-
that aren't because of what they cutting aside out what the devil couldn't do the
-
sister hand as she said on the pill, but you let us start eating
-
on her. I can't believe they did that my daddy. I can't believe
-
they left my daddy's head to ditch. Somebody said we shouldn't talk about these
-
things. Since when what church do you belong to? You? Anyway?
-
I'm telling you out in the sick cut, sick of the cowardice that I
-
see in the show called churches. We protest prosperity preaching, but we preach
-
prospectity. We just preach a perverted, twisted version of it. And the
-
Bible said all that are godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. If the
-
preachers were preaching the way they're supposed to be preaching. Whether their name's Noah,
-
Moses, Jonah, Isaiah, Jesus, or Joseph, they're gonna be
-
persecuted. But if you're preaching things everybody wants to hear, you're not gonna
-
be persecuted. But what if you're being persecuted for doing nothing wrong? What
-
about it? The Bible said, Jesus never spoke anything that was wrong.
-
Jesus never spoke anything, Brother Jesse that was tainted or perverted or polluted.
-
He never spilled out doctrine that wasn't sound. Jesus never filled anybody with a
-
deathfel Jesus never murdered anybody. Y'all aren't getting us this point there out.
-
I'm preparing a generation they will understand that good things happened to people are bad
-
things happen to good people. The spirit of job with some say, is
-
one of the oldest meaning. One of the earliest characters of the Bible.
-
He said, shall I not receive bad from the Lord as I have received
-
good? The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away. Bless it be the
-
name of the Lord. I a preach it this past Wednesday night with them
-
apostles were brought before men like a grip of Festus, Feelings and Herod,
-
and they were forced to bow, not willingly, but men that could raise
-
the dead, men like Peter, that could speak and people fall dead,
-
men like Peter whose shadow pass it over some people could be healed. And
-
to think that them, pipsqueak leaders and government of officials felt like they were
-
lords over these meek and mild mannered lambs that really had the power. Like
-
Jesus, he said, if I wanted to right now, I can call
-
down legions of angels, and all of them centurions, them soldiers, six
-
hundred number would testify and say, hey, amen, because when Jesus said,
-
you're talking to me, I am he the one you're looking for,
-
six hundred Roman soldiers stood on their face immediately. Are y'all getting this?
-
When somebody with that kind of power humbles themself, That's something I try to
-
practice. Opten. Humble yourself and you realize that me and like a Grandpa
-
Herod best Feelings Festus, they realize I know I'm power us an impotent up
-
against this man. I've got more money, I've got more position, I've
-
got more prominence, but not really, because all that matters, it's what
-
we have an eternity. But it's amazing how powerful the spirit of greed is,
-
the spirit of position, the spirit of posture, prominence tower. Even
-
though the man said, I am not a sup all those you persuaded me,
-
all those. It takes a great person to realize greatness comes from littleness.
-
I told Sister Hall the last night. I said, I truly now
-
have a different outlook on life. I said, after going down there to
-
Miami and run through the bay and seeing that three hundred million dollar yacht and
-
seeing what appeared to be read deck men walking around on it when their hats
-
been and fish and hooks on the brim, and I realized, man,
-
they was just as humpty dumpty goopy looking as anybody. I realized the devil
-
plays people so well. And I stood there on a rented boat with my
-
bride and realized there's way more spiritual power instead of me. And I'll stood
-
there and looked at that famous soccer player's apartment that costs two million dollars at
-
Wayside, and then I went over there and looked at his house. I
-
think it was fifty million dollars or whatever it was. And P Diddy,
-
that guy's in trouble right now. They're talking about that his friends with TD
-
Jakes. He's out there in his front yard waving at us. And I
-
thought, man, who is that? I know who it is? Who
-
cares who that is? Sister how It gets on the phone and says,
-
I want to show you the most famous man in the world. Puts it
-
on me. She's showing her kids. Here's the most famous thing in the
-
world. We didn't care one thing about all the time, all right,
-
we didn't. But I told us to how one thing it did do it
-
put every person that thinks there's something under my feet, because I realized that
-
hell will strip everybody of everything, and so will heaven. And I realized
-
that life itself is put a drop in the bucket compared to everlasting waters of
-
eternity, Russian vicious, wealthy water. Oh, I want something right here,
-
And I told her, I said, it doesn't matter if it's an
-
a less celebrity, a less celebrity, if it is some sort of government
-
official, if it's Donald Trump, if it's Joseph Bower, if it's Fladimir
-
puting us at sister, how I really feel like I considered a presence with
-
my legs, trust her and look at them and tell them with love,
-
without my blood pressure, even elevating as to who they are, as to
-
what to God, what position they hold? Her and was much tity and
-
compassion. I could try her and say, what happened to you? What
-
made you feel survived? What made you hate the world? What anxious some
-
years of I'm telling you, I've left? And I cried and I realized
-
so thed nothing about perfect so on the cable street and I looked, telled
-
her and I didy. I said, that's a tide of com We were
-
pity her executions. Let take that parentage of our people. We were pity
-
those. Let take advantage of the chill it. Oh God, we weren't
-
pity. Those are the pews. We pray for them. They don't use
-
us. We'll pray for them. They use that. You're love here,
-
proditionally. You're not getting this, are you. It's not to be little
-
there. It's not to push myself up and push them down. Truly,
-
something inside of me has snapped, and I realized these people are miserable,
-
no matter what they've got what happened to you? Didn't you feel bad when
-
you're not your brother in the back when you took his what John the Badness
-
said, you ain't feel bad about it? Are you seeing there? As
-
a response, these people are happy, They're not happy. They don't have
-
the joy. I guess I'm just now preaching. I try to give you
-
so much foundation. They don't have the joy. They don't have the joy
-
out of Joseph. They're looking at us. They dropped out about what they're
-
gone. They feel bad about who was stuff told, They feel bad about
-
who took advantage job. But you know what they can be forgogether, I
-
said, they can't be take you about it. There was a group for
-
burners being executed. As the martyrs were being executed, they began to sing
-
a song. As they sang that song, you can hear the third of
-
a killer team at the base of the chocolaw brother Jes and they continued singing.
-
You hear another third. You listen more closely, you realize they're singing
-
a song of joy. He's saved. These people suppose they have power over
-
them. They can take their houses, they can take their lands, they
-
can confiscate their properties, they can take advantage of them. They feel like
-
they ruin in life, Galatine. The guillotine is still going up and it's
-
going down. Innocent, pure minded people earning the honest, living, serving
-
God his spirited and truth, being faithful unto death, having their head cut
-
off. How you gonna feel now, Jeremy, How I gonna feel for
-
them his grandson. Don't feel bitterness, don't feel anger. I'm telling you
-
this generation to turn it off right here. This is when I'm down here
-
in the teaching. This is when I'm done with about the house. And
-
they say he's long winded. Sometimes we don't get in our good part till
-
work out sixty seventy minutes. Even still off a couple of hundred heads today,
-
Holy righteous people, people are saying, you know what you're doing.
-
Any pride, Harry is unlawful for you to have your brother's wife. You've
-
cut the head off the holdness preacher, you cut him off your podcast.
-
You can cut him out of your life. You can fire the prophet.
-
But there's one thing God never do is crush the spirit of Joseph. Guillotine's
-
going up and it's going down, and that'll sick twisted executioners, picking heads
-
up and throwing them in baskets. Little girl starts caving the pressure, and
-
she starts to deny her Jesus. About that time, her uncle that passes
-
the church towards the back of the life starts singing loud, and she starts
-
thinking about the words of what he's singing. Courage comes up inside of her.
-
She gets a joy. Brother Philip Jesus becomes Jubilee says, I can't
-
deny, no way, no change Guiltine's still going up and going down to
-
saints or still marching. But sister Hamming, what they notice, Let's get
-
quieter, because what was two or three hundred dollars fifty? Then they notice
-
it's getting on down twenty or thirty. Then brother Phillips get down to eight
-
or ten. Then there's the pastor, the uncle and the wife and that
-
little girl. She's talking to the king. And the king said, little
-
girl, do you not know I have power right now to preserve your life,
-
for power to destroy right now? If you'll deny Jesus and deny you
-
up the fellowship of the church, all let's you go. Then she hears
-
her aunt singing along with her uncle. Her aunt goes to the shop block.
-
Guillotine goes up, comes down. Now there's one voice left and it
-
is her uncle, and he's singing. Guillotine goes up. The silence,
-
bitterness players up the sun. Well am I gonna do? Now? It
-
doesn't matter. I could just walk away? What's she gonna do? Sister?
-
How The holy ghost moves and she has divine understanding and she asks the
-
king who has been doing everybody willing to take the advantage of everybody who had
-
just gone below, She says, what happened to you? H Immediately the
-
big mighty King, as I said earlier, suddenly he's at the feet of
-
the little girl and my sister Hannah. There's some of you not getting he
-
was doing all that because of business. He was angry. I'm telling you
-
God's in this service. If I've ever preached the service that I knew God
-
was in this morning, the King was ordering the execution of good people.
-
The little girl, much little than him, finally says, what happened to
-
you? Why are you doing this? Happened to you immediately? The little
-
girl traded places. There's a lot of people doing things to other people.
-
Because they've been hurt. Why are you doing this? They said? After
-
Tile that ordered the execution of Jesus, his story said he walked around every
-
day and each night bringing his hands, said, I can't get the blow
-
it off. I can't get the blood off because I know what I did
-
that, I know what I did to that innocent versa. It's just a
-
hand. You can be dismissed if the devil can get you to weave a
-
web that's so thick that you desern is impossible for you to get out,
-
a web of deadly silk, a tangled web that we weave, an intricate
-
design, and we feel like because it is so terfectly designed and so secure,
-
that there's no hope for us, that it's king. I want you
-
to know this morning that Jesus can provide it into date for a sting of
-
death which is biting us, and I have so much worn breaks. Genesis
-
fifteen and fifteen it said that when Joseph's brethren saw that her father was dead,
-
they said, Joseph will peradventure hate us and will certainly quiet us all
-
the evil which we did unto him, brother Roque. They thought for sure
-
Joseph would have a flare up after while, they thought for sure, brother
-
Jesse, after Jacob died and he's going to have their hands. But he
-
didn't. And I want to say to somebody this morning, I'm feeling this
-
message. Someone needs to let go of that anger and that hurt is killing
-
you. Someone needs to let loose and that bitterness it's eating you away.
-
This unresolved anger will lead to bitterness, which will escalate the violence that will
-
hang with Rebinge. Brother Jesse, would you come to the piano, Brother,
-
The Bible said, if we confess our sins, he is faithful and
-
just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all and righteousness.
-
At the first sight of his brother, and Joseph could have exploded what he
-
did because the Lord had forgiven him. He had forgiven himself. The Bible
-
said, for if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly father will also
-
forgive you. But if you forgive not men their trespasses, either were your
-
Father in Heaven forgive your trust passes brother Roaduap. Just within the last week,
-
I have realized just how tornmented people are. I have a burden,
-
brother Caleb, not a fantasy, not thinking highly of myself. That's these
-
young preachers we provoke to foolishness. But I realized whether their kings, queens,
-
aimless, celebrities, businessmen, business women, papers, whoever the lawd
-
is the maker of them all. And I realize every last one of them,
-
we're tormented if they don't have peace with God, if they're unsaved.
-
Every one of them were tournamented. There are some things that will not help
-
us when we're tormented. A new car will not help us. A new
-
vote, a new house, a new spouse, and new occupation, a
-
new career, a new job. So how can we have joy? You
-
have Jesus, Jesus, let's stand Wait a minute. You mean Jesus endured
-
the cross with join? You mean I could endure this with join? Yeah,
-
when you realize you've been sent, not sold, let's bow aheads and
-
close our eyes this morning. Some of the menaces and bosters of society are
-
those people that have been hurt by others. Listen, just because somebody hurts
-
you doesn't mean you should hurt others. The Bible said, vengeance is by
-
and I shall repay saith the Lord God will vindicate. So what's Joseph's joy
-
from the road cap no one. He's in the hand of God, knowing
-
he's in the plan of God, knowing he's in the will of God,
-
knowing that he belongs to God. That's enough, Brother Ethan. Certainly circumstances
-
and events of his life did not make sense. If you're that person here
-
this morning, being eaten alive by anger, resentment, bitterness, raise your
-
hand because I know you're in here. One. Two, that's what I
-
thought, just a few of us, three, four. I didn't expect
-
a lot of hens this morning for your trying to see. We're going to
-
have a general ultra call, but I want us all to trying to move
-
forward if we can. And I want you to think for a while and
-
ask the Lord to give you joy instead of bitterness. That he will.
-
You've been forgiven, you can forgive others. God would know you. What
-
did they do to you that made you so angor what happened to you,
-
Joseph. They could do anything to Joseph that would cause him to lose his
-
joy. That's what the devil's trying to do with cancer, sickness, renal
-
failure. I want to tell those of you that raised your hand. Forgiveness
-
is power. Forgiveness is power, saying Joseph had the power of the position.
-
A man needed to inflict great harm upon his brethren, but he didn't.
-
Instead of punishing them, he forgave forgetful pass for you again the bother,
-
the buts our trucy that became our mistage student in the ashes, the
-
pregeous way, the pain and hardy not the blood archeees, uh does one
