The puppet Pharaoh - Bro Jeremy Howell 1-7-2024

Eleventh chapter and the twenty second verse. We certainly miss brother Dwayne and Sister

Cheryl this morning. It breaks my heart to know that she has been hospitalized

yet again. In our hearts are morning this morning. Their absence, I'm

telling you, it makes me burdened to not see them sitting there and their

places on those views. I appreciate that couple so much. It was my

privilege to bring them together as a couple. After service one night we had

a wedding. They had got saved, and they said they had been living

together for several years and they said, what we're doing is not right.

The preacher, would you perform a wedding ceremony? And we had the most

beautiful wedding ceremony after church. This couple got saved under our ministry. Sister

Cheryl received the Holy Ghost one night during a service in one of our store

front buildings. And they've just been great friends of the Bithelhonness Church that we've

missed them so much. Have you found Hebrews Chapter number eleven Are you looking

at verse number twenty two? Brother Nathaniel, First Corinthians, Chapter number two,

Verse number nine, Brother Jesse Philippians, Chapter number one and verse number

twenty, Sister Howell did not know what I would be preaching on this morning.

Her and I have been ministering together, side by side, at times

back to back, fighting the hordes of Hell, helping people get away from

the holds of hell. For seventeen years we have labored together. There has

not been a time that we have went to church that I have told her

the topic or the title of the sermon that I would be preaching, including

when we were evangelizing some and traveling from church to church when I first began

my ministry. Is that corrects as to how that has not been one time

that I've told her what I intended to preach on. She's told me I'm

praying for you. I've told her before, please pray for me. I've

requested that numerous times over the years. I've never told her the topic,

never gave her a title of the sermon, never gave her any direct of

or direction in order to deceive people, to make them think that somehow the

service is just flowing. We have trusted the Lord. We have totally relied

upon him to link us together, to yoke us up, and she has

been a wonderful partner in the ministry. She did not know what I would

be preaching on this morning as she led that song found in the Red Back

Hymnal on page number fifty four. Have faith in God, now, those

of you that saw me walk out of that office, I came with a

servant specific for this congregation this morning, dealing with the final moments of faith.

Faith fine on moments. That is not the title of this sermon.

But I have heard it said for years. For years it has been said,

facing death is the acid test of our faith. Facing death is the

acid test of our faith. I want brother Nathaniel to stand and read First

Corinthians, chapter number two and verse number nine. But as it is written,

I have not seen nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart

of man the things with God hath prepared for them that love him. How

many of you are thankful that the Lord has prepared something for you, Brother

Jesse Philippians, chapter number one and verse number twenty. According to my earnest

expectation and my hope that and nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with

all boldness, as always so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body,

whether it be by life or by death. Amen. So whether it

be by life or by death, may Christ be magnified in my body Faith's

vital moments. I want to preach to you a sermon the Holy Ghost title

the puppet Pharaoh. Let's stand for the reading of our golden text Hebrews,

chapter number eleven and verse number twenty two. The Bible says by faith Joseph

when he died may mention of the departing of the children of Israel and gave

commandment concerning his bones. Let's pray, Heavenly Father, we thank you for

the opportunity to be in the house of the Lord this morning. I do

thank you for that unspeakable joy that we have been made to feel as we

gather together and Your spirit has moved upon this people. I thank you for

the goodness and the grace of the Holy Ghost as he's met us here today.

I pray that you would annoyed this thy servant, said a God at

my mouth, and help me to say those things you would happen to say

nothing for less and nought to hears of this type people, that they might

hear what the Spirit saith unto this church. Let it be a sermon specific

for this group of people. We pray, let the say into this blessed

book, not my words, God, your words. Let them go below

the shoulders, let them get in that heart and soul and spirit. I

pray God, let them not be hearers, only let them heed these words

and be doers. We pray that we would depart this place joyfully and not

sorrowfully. In Jesus' name, in the church said hey, man, look

at your neighbor and say, hey, neighbor, are you a puppet on

God's strength? Amen? How many of you feel like you're a puppet on

the Lord's string that he is in control of your life. Our text is

found in a New Testament book of the Holy Bible, the Book of Hebrews.

This writing was directed and delivered to believers who would come under the pressure

of extreme persecution. No one within these United States of America's borders understand what

it is to be under the enormous pressure or extreme persecution. There is nobody

in these United States of America that fully understands what it is to be under

extreme persecution. I know that there are some Christian believers who are married to

unbelieving spouses who persecute them incessantly, and there is no doubt that is a

horrible experience. There is no doubt. There are children that are trying to

attend worship services as much as they can, and mom and Daddy are addicts

of the world. They have the spirit of the world in their lives.

It's prevalent in their life. And there's little children that are writing to and

from church on the bus. They're part of the bus ministry, and they

are undoubtedly experiencing persecution. But there's nobody in the walls of this United States

of America. There's nobody under the security of this nation. This national defense

system that we have is wonderful. We're blessed. I'm telling you. I

know that people are persecuted for their faith. But these people had come under

extreme persecution, especially the Jewish believers, because they had departed from the religion

that they were so comfortable and to place it in the name of that religion

was Judaism. These believers had escaped Judaism and had found liberty in the New

Covenant of our Lord Jesus Christ, and they were being pressured to turn around

and embrace their former love Judaism. There is no doubt, they had a

great love for Judaism. They loved Jehovah, They loved the commandments or the

Law of Moses and God. The law of Moses, it was ultimately the

law of God. They appreciated Jehovah. But their brothers and sisters, some

of them literally their own siblings. Not only are their brothers and sisters of

Judaism, but literally their own siblings, felt like they had forsaken them,

that they had abandoned them because they had walked away from Judaism into the fulfillment

of Judaism, which is this new found religion, Christianity. And so I

feel like people hear this morning, you have experienced a progression in your Christian

walk. Your faith has increased. We know that when we need a faith

increase, there are various ways that we can do that. Faith cometh by

hearing and hearing by the Word of God. If we're in a Bible believe

in Bible preaching church, we will have a faith increase. As we hear

those servants that are servants specific for us as believers, we could also have

a faith increase. It could grow in our lives. Brother Nathaniel, as

we build it up by praying in the Holy ghosts. This is the faith

chapter. Our golden text is found in the chapter known as the Heroes,

or I mean the Hall of Heroes, the Hall of the heroes of faith.

There's people in this building that are somebody's hero in the faith. I

can look at Sister Wooton and realize that there are younger sisters that would consider

her their heroine. Not the drug, but I think you call a female

hero a heroin or something like that. And so we look at that and

say, Wow, what a wonderful thing it is for people to have such

a person in their life. We look at Brother Nathaniel this morning as he

plays the lead guitar, as he teaches Sunday School, and we say,

there is no doubt he is some little boys hero. Members of this congregation

text me or message me, or tell me face to face often, pastor

you are our hero. And so these people, they were very familiar with

the heroes of their faith, namely Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph.

Joseph will be the central figure of this morning's service outside of the Lord

Jesus Christ. He's gonna be the focal point of this morning's message. These

people had abandoned their former lifestyles and practices in order to do what Jesus Christ

had mandated. They wanted to be obedient to the heavenly calling. They simply

wanted to obey his words, and they did not desire that anybody have a

problem with it. But the truth remains that anytime somebody decides to listen to

God, heed his words, obey his voice, there's gonna be people that

have a problem with it. I remember when I first got saved, when

I walked out of the church house, I could not wait to tell people

about my conversion. I couldn't wait to tell them that the grass looked greener,

it was a brighter shade of green. I couldn't wait to tell them

that the sky looked blue, or it was a brighter shade of blue.

But Brother start, I saw looks of disappointment, smiles that were on faces

turned upside down. They looked at me with those frowns and said, I

don't understand what you're talking about. What in the world do you mean?

Are you telling us you're no longer gonna be our friend? Are you telling

us you're no longer gonna do the things that we used to do together.

And Brother Nathaniel, I learned real quickly that all of the godly people in

Christ Jesus suffered persecution, whether it be extreme persecution or slight persecution. Maybe

it's a verbal persecution, a verbal slap in the face. But we're gonna

come under persecution. And these people that have been Judaizers that are now Christians

because they're imitating a manual, there's so much like Jesus Christ. They are

being persecuted, and there is an enormous pressure for them to go back to

Judaism. How many of you have ever felt a pressure in your soul to

go back to the world that you once lived in. I know that I

have been saved thirty years now. There's not been one time that I have

ever felt a strong desire to go back into that world that I escape.

There's not been one time since the howl that I have put the fetters back

on my ankles, put the shackles back on my hands, and reached and

closed the gate of my prison upon myself. I am thankful tonight for what

God has done for my soul. I'm thankful for what God has done for

my life. I'm thankful for what God has done for my wife and for

our family. I have no intentions on turning back or turning around. But

for some reason there was an extreme pressure on these people to turn back.

Unto James, that judae Ism. And so this author of this book of

the Bible, the Book of Hebrews, he begins to talk to the judai

Isers and tell them of the superiorrity of Jesus Christ. He goes on to

say, Jesus is so much better than the angels. He goes on to

say that Jesus is so much better than Moses, that you have all this

confidence in. He goes on to explain to them that God, Jesus Christ

himself was the lord of men like Abraham and Moses. And you know what,

Brother Nathaniel, It's a sad thing what a preacher or an apostle,

such as the apostle Paul, has to remind anybody that professes to be a

child of God of how much better they have it now than they did when

they lived out in a life scholarship, or how much better they have it

now within Christendom than they did in Judaism. I feel like I'm living my

best life right now. I thank God that if any man be in Christ,

he is a new creature, old things that passed away. Behold,

all things have become news. They've embraced this new religion called Christianity. If

you'll look through this chapter of the Bible, you will see names that you

recognize. If you're a Bible student and a Bible reader, there will be

names that just stand out to you. Immediately your mind will recite some of

the details of their life story. I appreciate this eleventh chapter of the Book

of Hebrews again. In this chapter it is the Hall of Heroes. For

many years I heard preachers call it the Hall of faith. Without a doubt,

this is a record of numerous faithful ain't to have gone on before us

to receive their rewards. This chapter probably meant as much to the early believers

as it does us now. Apparently, believers must remember that each one of

us must build and stand on a foundation of faith. That's somebody say,

hey, man, how many in this building this morning? Contestify by raising

your hand and say, I have found the Lord to be faithful. I've

found the Lord to be faithful to me. I've found the Lord to be

faithful to my family. I found the Lord to be faithful in all things.

Each service that we attend, and every day that we live in.

The Lord provides us with confidence and the assurance that what he promised will be

experienced. If you read this chapter this afternoon, after you've gone and eat

lunch, and you go hold and return to your private places, read this

chapter and you will see that the Lord was faithful with what he had promised.

These people may or may not have experienced everything they anticipated and everything they

expected to experience. But the Lord's promise was true. He was faithful to

execute it, and somebody at some point experienced the blessing. If you look

at your neighbor right now, what you say to them, Hey, neighbor,

God will keep his word. We cannot assure that person that God will

keep our word. We cannot assure that person that we will keep our word.

We see couple stand before the preacher as he officiates their wedding ceremony,

and they promised that they will be with each other until death do we part?

They say, they make everybody in the build and believe their words.

They give everybody confidence and assurance that their words are true. But then we

find out ten fifteen twenty years later that they were not willing to that to

fruition. They were not willing to see that until death do we part?

Now? If you look at the words of this man, Joseph, you

will notice that he is speaking these words at the time of his death.

Or what faithful and fulfilling words they are that he is speaking. Again,

look at that golden text. Do you see what he's wrote there? The

Bible said by faith? Joseph when he died he may mention of the departing

of the children of Israel, and gave commandment concerning his bones. Why what

was Joseph's thinking about? You will remember that the Lord defied himself as the

God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. You will remember the Lord identified himself

as the God of those patriarchs of the faith, the God of the Hebrews,

the God of that specially chosen people and live boasted in that. Wouldn't

that be wonderful to hear the Lord say, I am the God of Justin

road cap, I'm the God of Caleb road cap, I'm the God of

Ethan road cap. That would be so wonderful for the road cap family to

hear God label himself in such a manner. You know what Joseph was holding

on to in the final moments of his life as he faced death. He

wasn't holding on to all of the blessings that he himself had experienced. No,

He's holding on to the promise that had been given to his great grandpa

Abraham. That's exactly what he's doing right here. He's speaking out and saying,

great Granddaddy had something promise to him, and I believe it to be

true with every fiber of my being. Even though I am the puppet Pharaoh,

I'm the pharaoh that He, more than God, has put in the

throne of Egypt. I still believe in my God. I still believe in

my people, I still believe in my family, and I still believe in

the promise that God gave my great grandpa. How many have you know that

we were given a promise. The promise has manifested in the second chapter of

the Book of As God promised her that he would pour out his spirit upon

all flesh. He did not give us a timeline of when that experience would

expire. I said, he did not give us a day of the time

when that experience would expire. I feel like that promise has been from one

generation to the next. And that's what Joseph was holding on to. He

said, I might have been displaced from my father Jacob, I might have

been removed from the little village to the town that I lived in by divine

providence that even though I've enjoyed all the pleasures of Egypt, I still got

a desire in my heart to live in the land of my Nativity. I

still have a desire in my heart to be known as that son of Jacob.

I want to be known as the great grandson of Joseph. I'm not

ashamed to tell you this morning that this world is not my home and my

king is not Lucifer. I do not pay obciency to any king of this

world, no principality of the air Miser, no, ma'am, that is

not to my leadership. I claim God Almighty to be my lord. Even

though we live in the midst of a pagan society, even though we live

in the mister pagan people, I can tell you that the God of Abraham

is my God. I could tell you that the God of Joseph is my

godless people, Hi, dispuilding. You've never considered these words the piper words.

As Joseph spoke at the time of his death, that he said these

words, he said, take me out of here. There's gonna be a

coffin. Leave the land of Egypt. One day he sided it with me,

the bones or the puppet Pharaoh. Yes he had been risen of power

in the land of Egypt. But this was a man that was on God's

string. The problem of people today who in our churches is they don't want

to be on God's strength. They don't want to be a mouth piece of

God. They don't want to be an uncle and lie. They don't gonna

walk when he says walk. They don't want to talk when he says talk.

They don't want to say the things that he tells them to say.

They don't want to do the things that he told him to do. What

about Joseph, Truly he was an honorable man, But he again as the

puppet prince, I said, he again as the puppet prince. As a

young man, he dreamed dreams. As a young man, he had visions

the spear of Abraham and got off on him. I want you to know

He's don't have to stop for any house there. Isaac can't here chacom he

can continue you all to you, Joseph. I'm preaching to you, Joseph

this morning to tell you it's okay to dream. It's on kata of the

evil, that things were meant for you. The things were intended for you.

Is there anybody in this house this morning? The crickets are preaching better

my preaching. I appreciate you being with us this morning. Thank God for

his spirit, thank God for the holy ghost that we feel. I want

you to know that God has always been faithful. The Bible said, the

Lord is not slack concerning his promises. The words of the Lord are sure.

The words of the Lord are true. As we focus on this eleventh

chapter the wrick of Hebrews for a moment, allow some of the Hebrews and

those people that are heroes in this hall of faith to come into your mind's

eye. Who just came to mind? Was it Abraham for the lady folks?

Was it Sarah for the men? Was it Noah for the little girls?

Was it the wife of Noah? Who has come to mind? As

I'm preaching this morning, people that had received a promise half right to people

that had hurt from the Lord. They knew they had heard from the Lord,

and they had been displaced from lands and went into other lands. They

had received word that they would have the seed that would populate to and it

would be as though it was the grains of the seashore, and it would

be as tho it was. Are the stars in the heavens? I want

to ask you a question. Did people laugh at these people when they receive

such promises and whenever they begin to talk about it? How many people laughed

at Norah as he preached what God had told him to preach. How many

people laughed at Mary Has She tried to explain, I did not conceive this

child. And you know, jun Me, I did not conceive this child

out of when Bacha. I'm telling you it was God that put to this

in me. If God has put it in you, then God has been

the initiator. Then God is the author. And if he is the author,

the gospel writer said, he is the author and the finisher of our

faith. Sometimes when our bacca is up against the roll, we feel the

pressure of the final moments of our faith. I've heard preachers preaching for years

say that the righteous die well, that they got over, or that they

die young. They die well, they God speaking words of faith. I

said, they die with confidence and assurance that God save him, and that

God the God of beautiful words. And they're not They their word with a

like maker herp to the promise that God give a meal as Abraham. They

saw a city that have foundations, a city who's fielder and maker is God.

It does not matter how much the world rejects Jesus and he tects our

natures. The anitator, I have chosen him. He has chosen me,

and I will go with him. Man. If that's like the do it

being a liar, sir, if it's like the truth in me, if

it's through a fiery foda. So if it's like Paul, do it chop

block, I will God brankfa, then I will God good. I said,

I will God prank Paul, and I will God yead. For years

it has been said facing death is the ass of our faith. There's so

many wonderful things that could be said about Joseph. You know, he's the

dreamer as a young man, He's thinking things of most young men do not

think anything about he's spiritually minded. He's hearing from the Lord, Brother Roquat,

he is somebody because he dreamer, and because he's hearing from the Lord,

he is somebody that is persecuted. The puppet prince was persecuted, the

mouthpiece of God, the one that is revealing the secrets of the Lord.

The Bible said that the Lord revealed his secrets under his servants, the prophet.

And so this puppet on the street, he's just that. He's a

puppet. He's a mouthpiece of God. He's a prophet. And that's what

Jesus said concerning John. There's another puppet out there in the wilderness. You

hear his voice, and you know what he's doing. He's a preaching the

truth. I said, John was preaching the truth and preaching a message of

repention. Jesus said, what did you go out there to see a red

shaken you? We know reed, time God runs his hand up into our

mouth, it gets a whole of our now that we up and behind it,

that he feels the heath. We are not a whimsy, Pappa,

it is not. It is out in the same I'm a puppet prince on

the norm, I said, Tom, he said he's starting out her.

I said, no, piece o God, I said something to say.

Look at the puppet prince. Listen to what he's saying. He's warning a

patchwork clerk. He's warning a patch walk clerk trying to listen to that crumpet

prince. Early on, somebody was saying, there's something special about that boy.

There's something powerful about that boy. Jacob knewitt. He said, Mama,

there's some special about our boy. Who was Joseph's mother, Rachel,

beautiful Rachel, beautiful Rachel and his baby brother Benjamin running around. He want

the young, but he was the son of Rachel. I want you to

know that if you are the offspring of God and Rachel, spiritual Rachel,

you are blessed. You enjoyed privilege. Yes, you do divine favor.

I know that Joseph's father, Jacob showing partiality to Joseph by giving him that

patchwork. If you want that quilt for a coat that have been pieced together

as a masterpiece of colors, Mother Jesse, I'm telling you God puts the

puppet together piece by piece. God is the one that does deceives. God

is the one that does the design. God is the one that feels the

mouth. I don't care what the puppet looks like. I don't care their

stature. I don't care their hair color. I don't care about the tone

or the skin her. I don't care about the messa. But Preacher,

when you stand in the pool bed and you claim to be the public in

the hand of God, we're gonna do here. They're not. You've been

tweeting her dreams of working of my God. We're gonna know her, whether

or not you might be reason to the Lord. We're gonna know whethers not.

What's a saying that here it came from God. You protell the difference,

pretail, somebody's saying whatever they want to say that in my peace of

God. We'll thank God. There is a force being heard. Thank God.

Joseph, Joseph. All of these great men of God found in this

eleventh chapter, all of these representatives of God, all of these heroes and

the Hall of Faith, all of these precious people. They suffered persecution,

and when persecution began, it did not stop and continued until their final moments

for most of them. But despite their persecution, the Lord enabled these people

to succeed for his glory a man, despite their persecution, the Lord enabled

these people to succeed for his glory. Pre children, when the ministry becomes

about you, you might as well follow the Bible and not for compa and

go sit down on the queu. For this ministry that we hold is about

Jesus and about his people. That's what he told her. One of his

other pupa, he said, fie my sheep, And that's what we need.

More puppets in ministry. I'm not talking about a talk at ministry.

The children's tall cast, but I'm talking about me and her. They ain't

the strain. Their god. Men that talks control it. Their accents and

their words. Oh yes, we ought to be spirit led, that spirit

tad, that Spafel. If we spirit lad, you'll end up in the

right place. If we spirit field, you'll end up pouring out to the

right people. Huh. If we spirit Fad, you can feed others.

That's what David said. He's in creating me a clean heart, o God,

renewing the right spirit with him. And he said, if I just

get reborn, if I could get reconstructed, recreated, then I'll be able

to teach the sinner, then I'll be able to lead them into great pastures.

I feel like preaching to you this morning. I think you feel I'll

keep fried chicken. I'll get you out of here just as soon as we

can. I know we're in the middle of our ten day fast, and

there's a bunch of your black cut of the eyes and some of your very

weakned body. But I want to deliver my should to you. I mean,

Joseph has more words of faith than the last few sentences of his life

than some of us have through out out an entire life, even after it

gets saved. If some of us walk outside and were sweet words and discouragement

to the call my children. We pushed our mother and not put in the

ward of God, I said. We pushed her work. Whether or not

God's head is working in our lives. We crushed to Mother or not we're

puppa on God's stream. We wondered them would make them stay here? No,

you didn't make them a stand her because God did not make a mistake.

Despite the persecution, The Lord enabled these people to succeed for his glory.

These people were like us. They felt the Lord's hand on their heart.

They heard him whisper in their ears. This is what you say,

puppy, this is what I say. You say. They were stirred in

different ways because they were on God's stream. And when all had been said

and done, they obeyed the Lord, and in time they received the promise.

But that he Jay, it's just Teresa. In time they received the

promise. Already, we're seeing fulfillment in your obedience. How many of you

know any time your actions prove that you've listened to God and obeing his voice

in the words of his mouth, you will see what was played and begin

to spring forth, and in time it will blossom her and then ultimately come

her to fruition. I want you to think about this biblical character that we're

focusing on this morning, Joseph the Bible said by faith. Joseph, when

he died, made mention of the departing her of the tune of Israel and

gain commandment concerning his bones. When you make mention of something, you're not

preaching on it. We're not teaching on it. You did not draw an

outline and follow that outline. You just made mention of it. Joseph,

so sick, those are so ill he's about to die, but he happens

to meet your something. Did you hear what he said? Joseph Spents could

say, did you hear her? Let? Daddy said what he said?

Would we leave? Egyp take this talking up here? I said, when

we leave, agent fly, God's gonna take off us out of here.

Swy love of them, that's just our hands in love on bread. It

was the faith of chosen. And you can miss them, mister greens of

faith, you can miss them little mustard seeds your faith. If they had

not been a paint attention, brother feeling, somebody would have missed it.

I pray that I'm not that's bad. I don't know what I die from,

but I pray I'll read my daughter last her a little mister Seeda,

pray that to give promise of God, little arts from the Papa, little

words bently spoken. My capitals had gone. The picture of the silf this

your heir, like God, said One brother said to another, Jacob,

the father, that Joseph had already blessed the sons of Joseph. Joseph had

taken him to stand alongside the bedside of his daddy as he died. Fair

picture with me settled up the chair at the horses hitched to the chair and

slaves. Joseph said, so, and we're riding out. We're gonna go

up there to go ship, and we're gonna talk to Papa. Hold on,

and Papa's got something to say that come from God. You can forget

the mad John a Babylon called Papa Abraham got away from that. You can

forget the magicians of Egypt, but I got away from it. Are y'all

getting this? We're a little right out there. And somebody said, I

guess he's pulled up. Joseph did, oh, sweet, guess what is

where? Coda minicon. That's why that spirit God on Moses. These ain't

my people, I'm telling you, or y'all getting the significant significance of this.

God has threaded Jesus in this message throughout every major empower of history.

It doesn't matter if it's the Babylonian Empire of God put a thread called dab

Daniel him there. It doesn't matter if it's the Palace of Egypt putting a

thread called Joseph in there. I'm telling you, all throughout life I see

little threads of hope, little threads of promise. Oh, Joseph's out there,

Gaddy bring him in. I've got a word from God. Oh he

has thrown out. The sons of Joseph had been schooled just like Moses had

been by the very best hat. You know what. He wanted to hear.

The promise come out of another puppet named Jacob, his father Prophysio,

from Daddy propher Silo. They enough to know my people are your people,

and your people by my there might be some young persons in this fielding this

morning you feel like, oh, that's just a bunch of holy rovers.

Oh that's just a bunch of botles of the people. Oh that's just how

came you the crew we belong to God sin some people in the pall of

them, that's some red ones. God sends people talking exam talking about that

stuff that the core to day. The perfect Prince would say in the presence

of his father. And I cannot, for the sake of time, I

cannot walk through the entire story of the life of Joseph this morning. But

I want to take you back to a time when Joseph's father, Jacob,

was a stranger in a strange land and Joseph knew it, and now Joseph

is a ruler in a strange land. That doesn't sink you. Oh my

daughter, yeah, I tell you, I'm I say that to you,

to myself, I'm talking to my God, Oh my God. Abraham,

his great grandpa, had pad as through Egypt for a time. Little did

Abraham know I'm holding the promise very quicker soon and very soon, your great

grandson's gonna rule this land. Abraham didn't have the ability to say, hey,

as I travel through, just want to let you know I received a

promise, and my wife might be buried, but one day my Steed's gonna

rule it. That's on the other side of the promise. We got hindsight

right now, twenty twenty hindsight. That's on the other side of the promise.

Since the highway we came down there seventeen years ago. We had no

idea how wondrously and wonderfully the Lord will bless us, and he has blessed

it. For brother Jesse, I can't wait to hear one of my great

grandsons one day say you didn't know my papa, but he was the papa

Master Strange. I'm talking about the puppet prophet. I'm talking about the perfect

prince. I'm talking about the puppet pants that they leaved in the planet of

God without nobody else there. Oh yes, oh yes, I believe God

sit us here. Oh yes, I believe God planet us here. It

doesn't matter how many letters they're trying to send us. We're about to have

a holy ghost explosion in this house. Even know, what was a stranger

in a strange land in the land of Canaan has now become a stranger in

a strange land of Egypt. He remembers the time when Joseph was seventeen years

old and Joseph was walking with his brethren and began to be that puppet prince,

and he reported the actions of his brothers. He was wearing that coat

of many colors. He was just of his brethren, and they hated him

because of his words. The Bible said, his brethren could not speak peaceably

unto him. And you know, as soon as you stop favoring righteousness and

goddening this up and holding this up, and you kill on got piblical pat

front, kilture you al radiant taxed his spiritual colors, and people cannot stand

that I said her. People cannot stand that I can live like the world

and still be right. They say, no, you can't. The problem

with people within the churches of America today, and I'm not being critical,

but I'm preaching the truth. The problem is they are anti anybody, this

anti world. They have a problem with somebody in this anti spirit of this

world. Jesus said, love not the world either the things that are in

the world, depending on lucky Joesph said, boy, this is not my

home. I've been a puppet here, but get me out of here.

I've been a puppet here, but get me out here. And they can

call this world who is parloning no goods for Bartolonan turbents the en Gyptian archives.

They can call this place home. But this world is not my hope.

In the New Testament, they spoke of Abraham's pride, Sir, the

matriarch of the faiths, the one that had been pedecked with jewels, rare

jewels. They spoke that she no longer prized an outward ornamentation of the fire,

but she put extreme finding, oh, the automentation of the inside of

the man. Now, if you're not like Sarah, you don't like to

think Sarah did. If you're not a puppet on the Master's stream, you

won't do what the Master commanded us to do. The more chose a stoke

of his streams, the more he preached with aspiration. It didn't matter if

we saw the moon playing b says to the stars. It didn't matter if

we saw the sheaf paying be says to another sheaf. Whatever, it don't

matter. They don't want to hear it. Pear pressure, pear pressure.

It doesn't matter how many letters they sid I know I'm in the will of

God. Best matter what kind of plan they cantra up, what kind of

catch messages they said, I'm not I'm in a perfect p TN. No

brother could speak peaceably unto him, not one. How many brethren did he

have, you know, the twelve tribes or rivers were around. How many

brethren did he have a lot of brethren? Not one of them could speak

peaceably unto him. They despised him because he was a dreamer. He was

spiritual, He had dreams, and they despised him for his dreams. I

select the charismatic preachers on Jackie Walker fifteen years ago, You're two spirits of

minded to be of any earthly good. You find that in the scripture and

put it in my face. There's too many people, too worldly minded to

be of any spiritual good. Chose us in Egypt. He's got the whole

world at his fingertips. He can talk about how God used him to be

the provision or the provider of the Egyptians and the Hebrews in the lead of

Ghosha at his death. No, he doesn't talk about the Code of Minic.

He doesn't talk about him being provider. He doesn't talk about him saving

his old father's house. He doesn't talk about all of these other times he

was the puppet prince and God was using him. No, the puppet Tarr

says, get me out of here, Get me out of this world.

This world is not my home. This world will never be my hope.

If you take the true pressure. Because some preacher compromise and twisted the stretch

up and said, we don't believe that I canting world. He checks a

mite. The preacher did not God. So it seems that people have always

liked nicknames. Some people are like me. They prefer nick names. So

his nickname is dreamer. Look here comes that dreamer, they said much better

than Look, here comes that deceiver. His daddy was known as the deceiver.

But when his daddy got things preaked through, he too had received the

promise. And now the deceiver's son is the dreamer. You talk about progression.

ILL will never believe that God takes holy, righteous people out into the

world. They compromise their lostyles, their standards, throw their good speech out

in the door. I will never believe that's the plan of God. I

believe in progression. God, don't shout too loud now the christness of preaching

loud on preaching out here was born at seventeen years of age. He didn't

succumb to peer pressure, and he didn't lose his dream. They didn't appreciate

one particular dream, the one you know where he told them all of them,

including mom and daddy, were falling down and doing obecience. They hated

their brother, who's walking around in a gifted coat that came from his father.

I'll tell you the best thing I ever did do that is when I

took off the old coat and put on a lit I will not I don't

care he tries to to make me out to any service. I don't care

if he tries to email me. I will never trade my righteousness. That

is ass filthy rags, our righteousness. But it's not our righteousness that I'm

hanging on. It's His righteousness. You cook too late to tell me God

don't look it. You cook too late to tell me God don't care.

God cares about his people. God cares about the preachers, that the puppets

on a stranger strain. And God cares about his word, every word,

every word. I've been fastered like you, so I keep running out of

gas. But I want you to our feelings of myself. The final moments

begin to speak encouraging words, encouraging words. Right here, at seventeen years

of age, he's walking around in a patchwork coat of many colors, if

you would, it's a sports coat. Look at what brother Caleb Brocaps got

on over there. Just imagine that kind of quill at work with more colors

than that. Though, and Jacob's partiality was not conducive for peace in the

family unit. And the end result is that Joseph's brothers desired to sell him

to medianite merchants. And I want y'all to know this outward standard and inward

standard of holiness is beautiful. The world sees that they know your father has

given you a coat. My wife ain't always been holy on the inside on

the outside, and they despise that coat. This is a symbolism, or

there would be new creatures in Christ, Jesus the correcting and believers had to

stop going to the pagan temples, had to stop dressing like hatoms. They

had to be like Mother Sarah, the mother of their faith. And they

had to put off this world, and they had to put on Jesus,

put off this world and put on Jesus again. They have a problem with

anybody this anti spirit of this world. And I'm telling you, as soon

as you start knocking on the spirit of this world, they despise it.

They hate it. They hate that code of many cars. As soon as

you put it on, you put on the code of criticism. Oh,

I'm walking in liberty? Are you really? Why it's eight of your ten

children drug addicts that don't sound a lot liberty than men. Why are you

losing eighty percent of your youth from the homosexuality? Some of you came by

your alert if your boss, that's that big of that you you at the

dish and in the ktome, Show me the progress in the church, Show

me people that are developing a spirit of maternity. Show me, showy,

showy. You know by the fruits on the tree whether it's a good trail

not. The proof is in the print. If you're puffing out illegitimate children,

one not out to another, there must be a house full of adult

There must be a house fool of qualicator. I'm not looking for approval,

affirmation and applause and nobody. But at the end of the day, I

want to stamp before God and said I wasn't perfect. Oh your truth.

It is true that if a man runs a hold of my neck, I

am a mere mortal. I am as Francis, as a puppet. I

am able to succumb to death. I am able to succumb to martyr.

Oh yes, so did the other heroes in this hollow path. We can't

be a piece for our past. We can't be murdered. They're mourning for

our past. But I want you to know who hold the strip. I

want you today who's holding the string? The lord is My wife took off

the old man and put on the duds and immediately, people that had convinced

her to try to go get drunk. As soon as he turned twenty one.

People in the convinced her of the dance of the dance halls, like

she's nice. People that are convinced her to do this and do that immediately

they want nothing to do with it. Why what and pitiful? Sorry,

poor Christians today, they can't take that. I can't take losing a few

friends, ain't take losing my identity. Well, Jesus contradicts. He said,

if you can't lose your life, you're not gonna find it. If

you don't lose your life, you can't find it. And that's what Joseph

is saying. This life of an Egyptian was not the life for me.

God help me here on purpose, but please take my body out of here

and somewhere in the land of Canaan if an archaeologist could find it. There

is and a Gypsian topic, whether them find the gypsum body seeing earth.

But no, it's the Hebrew prood what I said, what, this's the

Hebrew paraol. This said, get me out here. Two hundred years after

Abraham was given the promise, Joseph assents to the throne of Egypt. Two

hundred years after this, Moses has said a pharaoh himself, let my people

go. And I'm sure the scripture doesn't record it, but I'm sure some

of the historians and egypt Land said, Pharaoh, even the Hebrew pharaoh Joseph,

that you're claiming you don't know nothing about, you know everything about the

Hebrew pharaoh told him take his body out of him. Take my spirit out

of this world, Jesus, take my body out of this world. Take

my trestyles out of this world. Take my hairstyles away from this place,

the world that I'm living in, take it out of here. We saw

one this person, a one, this Pentecostal person word, trinitarian, pentecosta.

Holding us on the inside is what we're promoted. If it's working on

the inside, it shows up on the outside. The one, this Pentecostal

woman was down south of here shopping. As soon as I saw it,

it reminded me of the late seventies and the eighties of what I saw on

the street corners of Bradley Junction. And I told sister, how, I

said, does she not know that that's the attire of a hearted and sister,

how I said, of course she knows that. I said. That's

what I thought. The minute that spirit of this world is living the inside

of us, we got a trouble. You could look right and have the

spirit of the world working on the inside, but I've never really seen anybody

look like the devil and have a real, genuine, pure clean spirit on

the inside. We're all weak because of this ten day corporate fast, and

I'm very weak in body this morning, but my spirits throng has ever been.

You know, Joseph knew very well that the descendants of Abraham would live

in Canaan, not Egypt. He knew what he knew. I could leave

him here, but this is a God's plan. You could have left your

family there, but that was a God's plan. Think about that, brother

Jesse. Joseph was sending signals throughout his immediate family get out of here.

Joseph had been able to live there comfortably himself. While he's setting the throne

of Pharaoh. He's miserable. God. I know you have a plan because

you maybe it goes to the pit, to the prison. Before I got

to the palace, the puppet was in the pit preaching the Puffect was at

Potiphar's house preaching. The Puffect was in the prison house preaching. And now

he's in the palace with Fairoah preaching, and brother Philip, with all of

these servants, men servants made servants, all of this commotion inside. But

great Grandpa Abraham said, you talk about security, financial security, He had

it, the blessings of the Lord, seeing them making him ready, prosperity,

and the pumpet inside. I gotta say something, I gotta say something.

All alone. I guess he walked through the palace and maybe kick a

pot and say, wen's supposed to be here, Hold on to one traumise,

give him one minute. Great Grandpa never had Brother the Thaniel. He

had everything when he stood on the balcony of his talents and he looked down,

he had everything, and he's gazing over and all came was over there

across the Red Sea. We have several undertakers in this building. What's it

called when they build a big memorial to the deceased, to monasoilm Mons or

what mansoleum? Brother just said he wasn't interested, and have a mascoleum for

the Hebrew pharaoh. Brother staring all he's concerned about dig a home with this

comfort and this imbomb body in there, and kicked the dustst over. If

he had a had a what y'all call it a mascoleum, did be there

to this day. I feel a sweetness and a conviction of the spirit of

God in this building this morning, Brother Jesse, if you come to the

piano. The Lord had provided for them in Egypt. They were living the

good life. But Joseph knew this is not my home. Joseph knew this

is not the home for the Hebrews. Joseph thought, we all got to

go home. We all got to go home. Joseph dreamed of their escape.

Think about this as to how he dreamed of their exodus. He's king

of Egypt, and he's dreaming of the day we can leave. I don't

know about y'all, but I long from my lonesowt home. I'm looking forward

to going to heaven. Verse Printhians, chapter number two, Verse number nine

says, but as it is written, I had not seen nor ear heard,

neither have it entered into the heart of man. The things was God

had prepared for them that love him. That's not only speaking in the afterlife

is speaking of this life. There's some wonderful things that God has promised you.

Faith, hope, the Holy Ghost, joy, peace. As we

stand this morning and get ready to pray. In the Book of Philippians,

chapter number one and verse number twenty, the Bible set according to my earnest

expectation and by hope that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with

all boldness, as always so now also Christ shall be magnified. I'd end

my body, whether it be by life or by death. Sister Howell,

we were talking about pastors, that pastor, these churches that are full of

a worldly spirit, a cardinal's spirit. The other night, brother stera just

pastor, and first lady, husband and bride was talking and I said,

you know, honey, there's gonna be some of these men when they come

to the end of their life. They're going to try to make things right,

but it'll be too late, maybe one or two out of three thousand,

but they're going to try to tell people I led you wrong. I

wanted to pension, the paycheck and the parsonage. I needed financial security.

I lied to you about what the Bible said. I withheld truth from you.

You came, but you did not hear the truth. You came to

be liberated through the power of Jesus. But I did not give you the

keys of liberation. I didn't properly teach to you doctor and the salvation sanctification.

I didn't give you the whole counsel of God. And so I'm sorry.

Would you forgive me? That is no time, preacher, for us

to get things right. I'm sure there's been a few sincere genuine people make

death bed repentances and confessions and get things right. My brother staring, I

appreciate your preaching. Brother. All of the preachers are here this morning.

I appreciate your preaching. May we be the mouthpieces of God, oracles of

the Lord, obedient oracles, and may we be puppets on God's stream.

The puffect prophet, the puppet prophet at the end of his life was saying,

my great grandpa's Abraham, and he was blessed to the Lord. Abraham

had something we all need. He had faith. As we bow our heads

this morning, is there somebody in here your faith has been shaken? I

want you to hold to what God has given you. That first night you

prayed, that morning you prayed that first love, that experience, that faith.

You're gonna be buffeted, You're gonna be persecuted, But I want you

to hold to that excitement of what God gave you that promise. Is this

somebody that's building this morning that would admit by showing the hand. Now,

as we have our heads bowed, eyes closed with you, raise your hand

and say, preacher, you preach to me this morning. I see two,

three, four, five, six seven. You feel like you received

a promise. You're wondering when will it come to pass? How about it

in your final moments on your deathbed? Will you die with regret? Take

me out of here, Jesus, I'm ready to go. We'll hear the

words said. Well done, Now, good and faithful servant. Let's find

a police to pray this morning as they play and sing, may we pray?

Preachers, I want to encourage you to be a puppet on God's stream.

Your prince. Be a puppet. Prince, You're a fair rom.

Be a puppet. Favor room here, preacher, be a puffet preacher,

Say what God would have you to say. Let your actions be of the

Lord. This so true in so many bibs, their actions are of the

Lord by faith. Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing

of the children of Israel, and gave commandment concerning his pots. He dreamed

of it, he said. Some of the saints have died in the faith.

They dreamed of the coming of the Lord, when he cares in the

eastern sky and he calls us home. We've dreamed of that day. We've

longed for that day. But it's going to happen again. Facing death,

that's the passid of our faith, facing death every time. If you forget

everything I said with this, remember this. My great grandpa was over him,

and we all belong to said Joe, the province, because you know

made the province bell. He's a fish shun And every time of me,

my love will be the anchor that you hold off to. This said the

promise. This says the promise I'm made. I never said that I would

give you silver a bole, or that you would never fill the fire horse

shiver in the bole. But I did say, and all through this world

the long and I did say, don't make this world over all. Oh,

I've made a promise that I need the key. Father, race will

be as a fish sharp in every time with me right off, You'll be

the anchor if you get hold of This is the promise. This is the

promise I made you. I never said the Prince would never turn their backs

on you, all that the world around you wan see you as a bood,

but I did see, like me, you surely be despie. And

I didn't say my waistcar found the world. I didn't say you never taste

the bitterer kiss a day, or had to all rugally Joe to get her

into race. But I didn't see I'll be waited ride on the side.

And I did say I'll try everything. Because you know I made a promise,

and I didn't the key face. You be the bishop in every time

of deed man, you be the anchor. If you can go on.

It is the province. This is the promise I made to you, because

you know I made a promise that I'm prepared to pay that some days then

you think you'll see me based in me, and you don't see really AELs

and a countless bout. This is the promise, This is the commence.

I'm mad, So just keep one hook, don't start to the last ride,

and in the midst of darkness. Got let this be that hell,

get set baradas, and we're gonna make the girl. This is the promise.

This is the promise I made. Oh, this is the promise.

He is the promise me. I never said that I would give you silver

or the you would never feel the fire or shiver in the cold. But

I did say, never walk through this world alone. And I can say,

don't make this word. I never said me would find you in the

line all alone and then was shothing else you never had to fight. But

I did say I'd be died, not the side. And I did say

always said, because you know, I've made a promise, and I did.

The key final will be sufficient in every time of me. I love

the anchor. Everything you can hold on to its stay is the province.

This is the provinces from
