Matthew's Gospel, chapter number one, I'm sorry. Matthew's Gospel, Chapter

-
the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise. And as his mother,
-
Mary was in spouse to Joseph, before they came together, she found with
-
child. She was found with child of the Holy Ghost. Be Joseph.
-
Her husband, being a just man, not will to make her a public
-
example, was minded to put her away privately or privenly. But while he
-
thought on these things, behold, the Angel of the Lord appeared unto him
-
in a dream of saying, Joseph, thou son. David feared not to
-
take it into thee. Marry thy wife, for that which is conceived into
-
her is of the Holy Ghost. She shall bring forth a son, and
-
thou shall call his name Jesus, for he shall save his people from their
-
sins. Now all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken
-
of the Lord by the prophet, saying, behold a virgin shall be with
-
child, and shall bring forth the son. They shall call his name Emanuel,
-
which being interpreted is God with us. And Joseph, being raised from
-
sleep, did as the Angel of the Lord had bidded him, and took
-
her unto him and his wife, and knew her not till she had brought
-
forth her first born son, her first born son, and called his name

Jesus. Amen. Thank you for standing for the reading of the Word of

-
of a man. Amen. And I know you know, in today's society,
-

Too many of the church won't today they look at this as firy tale.
-
It's just stories, it's just cleanchas. But let me finish what my mama
-
done. When my mama got saved, God healed her body, all right,
-

-
had my brother. Two years later. I came along and Mama later had
-
had to have some things and that, trays and things done, and they
-
began to tell her about some problems she was having, and she said,
-
well, that's probably because oh, you know the birth of our children.
-
They go to the barn and say you ain't had children. She said,
-
I got to them, don't know. You don't either. It's physically impossible
-
for you to have kids. She said, right, parents, wing,
-
and right there's the other. Heymen of God, don't tell me. And

-
tale. This is a reality. Are y'all gonna bow? No, sir,
-
oh King Vietnam, unto you, We're not gonna bow. Our God
-
is able. If not, we're still not going to battle. You're going
-
into the fire of him. The Devil's me. It's clearly, is it.
-
I sit there and let start. I started as I said, somebody
-
needs somebody. I don't know what somebody else. I don't really care,
-
right, I obeby God what who told me to do? Amen? And
-
when I started saying, Satan, your kingdom's coming down. Satan, your
-
kingdom's coming down. You've been building up your kingdom all around this town.
-
Satan, your hey, you lie on me for the very last time.
-
You lie on me, telling a pary last time. I'm telling you Church.
-
When I sat down, the fellow told me I'm coming after you.
-
He told me, he said, I'm coming after you. Aymen that I'm
-
telling you, I'm afraid. Sometimes I'm afraid sometimes from the dock. That's
-
what's wrong with some of us and you. The call God tells us to
-
do something, no words, to stare to death. What the outcome of
-
the devil? He's tuning me, you know, when he's mad, he's
-
upset. He's ain't obey it. But I'm telling you turn, I'm looking
-
at it as it sign right now, and I'm saying it's somebody we're just
-
talking about. Door, Open up the door and tell the devil get out
-
of here. You wouldn't have to worry about. You wait till tomorrow.
-
You wait till the next day. Everything starts going real good, or you're
-
having a good time, and all of a sudden hell comes against you and
-
you begin to say it's where's grabbing trails. I'm old, hey, listen,
-
church, we need to obey God because the Bible said it's better to
-
obai sacrifice. Three Hebrew boys found themselves in the midst of a bunch of
-
trouble because they would not bend or bow. I believe, I wonder maybe
-
I wish don't bend, don't bow. You ain't gonna learn it right?
-
Yeah, you are too. How we're gonna tell you. But I'm gonna
-
tell you what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna make it even worse than ever.
-
We're gonna turn that thing up even higher. Amen, We're gonna turn
-
that thing even higher than what it is before. Had they turned that thing
-
up higher, had it just killed the people that was doing it? Amen?
-
That God, I guess happened. They put three boys in Hey man,
-
But can I tell you what thing? If the process of time this
-
is a fairy tale, somebody who's work working work. Can you put a
-
body in the fire, then no, farm, but it turned up higher
-
than before that body to cheers. That must be a fairy tale. Then
-
this fable must be alive. It's saying there's three of them that went into
-
the fire. Come on church, all the people I'm on prench hood,
-
I don't know, come til a fire, hey man, God, but
-
I'm telling the church, ay man, three boys went into the fiery furnace.
-
He remember. All of a sudden they got in there. Amen.
-
And in the process of that night. I don't know about you, that
-
church. I'm telling you any time I hit around the fire. One of
-
the first tape of time make is this Hell's hotter than that. You can't
-
listen. Tommon Sense says, you can't put your head in fire and leave
-
it there. You're gonna get burned. Go sir, with God, all
-
things are possible. God, listen. We got I'm almost as a virgin
-
wom hat been of God. But I got something else I need to talk
-
to you about. Hey man, these boys got in that herd and in
-
the process of being in the midst of the fire, haymen, the God
-
there their little things that held up there. We're loose. Not on them.
-
Were they loose? They were walking around? Yeah, I wish I
-
had a woe. So heymen, at the preacher said they try listen,
-
Church, I'm telling you upon doing this, haymen, Church ain't got in
-
there and they begin to worship God. They come down there where they was
-
that. Hey, I believe there was a noise about going on amen,
-
or probably was screaming going on when they told some Maybe they told somebody I'm
-
sitting there. Maybe that's the reason why they got it. I don't know.
-
I just don't what they say. If you're going in, you're gonna
-
burn going off. It's you up. Do you know? I'm telling you
-
church, come home with me. Just a moment of time, in the
-
process of being in the midst of your child, in the process of being
-
in the midst of your father, how about you just lift those hands before
-
God. How about you just get somewhere right and beginning to worship God and
-
saying, I'm coming out of this valley. That's todd of the valley.
-
I know the Lord want to make away somehow. I'm telling your church,
-
they heard the noise, that's something happening in there. It wasn't the streams
-
and the hollers of help. It was a worshiping of God. And when
-
they looked in they see those God's in there, and go paper loose and
-
walking along the turns. Something else happened. You know nessen a fairy tale
-
story, reality come real. We're gonna part band of the bar, somebody
-
else in the bar. That's some hoteling, your church. It beuld come
-
to be a reality. Fairy tale stories. Listen, redo you can't get
-
listen, you can't, you can't put we we we can. We can
-
talk all kinds of fairy tale stories, right, Jonah and the Whale,
-
fairy tale, Virgin bird. Yes, three boys in the bar. You
-
can even toe in another can of fairy tale story. A dangel being told
-
in the mist. Then him of lines they used to all the men there
-
for recreation, if all the men there to destroy there. But Daniel got
-
down there and he laid her down and went to sleep. Do you know
-
when God gets in the missis the rock of arm problems and the troubles and
-
trials. You still can have a peace that passes all us. You still
-
can have that joy and sleep. You don't have to let the devil rock
-
you. You tell the devil your fairy tale story is that? Let me
-
tell you about the real thing. You you remember who he was? Hey,
-
tell your problem? Who your God is? You've heard that? Tell
-
your your big problem? How big your God? Is listen him closing.
-
I want you to understand this. Joshua. Chapter Sins talked about a city
-
called Jerry Cole brother Brother that was so I see, aymen. Some I
-
say it's maybe eight acres, you know. Some some say it's that I
-
don't know. Some say that the walls could be about thirty some feet tall.
-
They also say that the walls of that city we're about twenty feet five.
-
That two cheros could don't side beside all around the city. But Joshua
-
was told by God that city is yours. That wall is way too high.
-
How many's heard that that wall is way too high. Bra ain't no
-
way you can get in there unless you go through that gate right there.
-
They ain't gonna let you in there without having a fight. I come this
-
morning to tell you Church, you're gonna have to have a determination and a
-
grid about you and a fight down inside you to overcome some that you're in.
-
But if you have God upon your side and you're obedient to God,
-
this goes back to obedience. If you go back to that obedience to God,
-
Joshua, here's what I want you and the people to do. I
-
want you to march around that great big city one time for six days,
-
and on the seventh day, I want you to walk around that time seven
-
times at home that seven times. I want you to have of those to
-
give the trumpets. I had a shout to God and church. When they
-
obeyed God and they did what it did. I guess what happened. I
-
come to greed, A great hearth shaken. I have took planes and the
-
walls I have we're way too high, have way too thick for anybody to
-
take it in. They crumble like dust. I'm telling you, Joshuay,
-
they took the city. Now why because the world you can take the dog
-
can? I tell you it's a fairy tale. I'm just walking around the
-
city and shouting that without a war. But you know what it happened.
-
What fairy tale Story'll come? Get some music. Don't talk whatever you do,
-
don't getting ready to calls. What fairy tale story in your mind have
-
you been having? I had this come to me when God gave this to
-
me, that there would be somebody here that God's told you what he can
-
do for you, what he'll do with you. But you think it's a
-
fairy tale. You don't think really that ill check, brother, how I'll
-
be honest with you Church, I'm transparent. M No, Brother. I
-
wish I wish I was able to preach better. I wish I was more
-
excited to some I wish I could teach you right there and that was everybody's
-
favorite preacher. As old cliche is that that's a fairy tale, But the
-
reality is this, Goda call me just to preach the way I can preach.
-
I wish. The old cliche is, oh, I wish I could
-
have my brother. Hell, has I've talked to Sunday School? Well,
-
the real crap. See, guys, y'all don't realize what a Sunday school
-
teacher I have right here. I wish I could teach like your father God
-
right here. Well, I wish I could play the the other Yeah,
-
I can strung, I can play to him. All that all that fancy
-
working, Well, I wish I could do that. That's a fairy tale
-
to me. But the round reality is this, God don't want you to
-
be like somebody else. I wish I like you from Rope. I wish
-
I had a boss like you. God gave me a boss. It ain't
-
investment. But you know what let's not come down with cancer in the throat.
-
They told me not to ever preach again. And for a little while
-
I couldn't. I couldn't, couldn't hardly talk, couldn't hardly speak. But
-
then there came a time that this fairy tale story that the devil was telling
-
me, you're done, after they've done what they wanted to do. I
-
see, let me go to the house of God. I went to Paducah
-
home in his church, Brother thorough Future. It's a pastor there. I
-
went up like ever before. We were having special prayer. They laid hands
-
on me and they prayed for me. I went back. Everything was fine
-
and I started. I sprayed God heal me, but nothing happened. We
-
prayed for others. You know, some got healed someday. You know,
-
the head and don't come instantly. Sometimes we have to go fun. That
-
why Brother Future was preaching. And then that Sunday night service, if you
-
was up about two more seats maybe out of me all the way you are,
-
Brother Brock pastor at that time come around like this. He was preaching.
-
He turned and looked at me, and his eyes hitt me. There's
-
a look that come across his face. I'll never forget it. He looked
-
at me, Brother, laremore. He can heal you on the gold,
-
He said that. Brother, from the bottom of my feet to the top
-
of my head, something wrung off through me, and I knew how I
-
was healed. And I ain't ever went back. I started preaching right after
-
that. If you are and I ain't stopped, sense, God heal me,
-
if can turn the throat, And can I tell you one can't turn
-
that devil's trying to tell God. He's trying to tell somebody here that you
-
can't be what he says. And the devil is a liar. He can
-
only give made up stories. God can use each and every one of you.
-
Stand all over the house for the how I was a coachman, m
-
Can I tell you Church, when God shows up in the business of the
-
people, he's not just coming to visit and to say to him, just
-
to look around and say and walk out the door. And he's there for
-
a reason. He come for a purpose. He come looking for the part.
-
He come looking this morning for the one that the devil's and spending those
-
little fairy tale stories to me saying God can't use you. God can't do
-
this. God can't do that. You can't do this? Can I tell
-
you you can do all things through Christ? That's strut you? What kind
-
of fairytale story? Has he told you that God can't do it? But
-
with y'all, all things are possible. And because if you will obey right
-
now in this service, say God, I'm tired of listening to the devil.
-
I'm tired of listen to this fairy tale stories that says I can't I
-
won't read no lame God? Right now, would you turn it into a
-
reality. Somebody can leave here this morning with a reality that God can do
-
all things? Will just make believe. Can we find us a place to
-
I'm calling for a united body of Christ to find a place to pray.
-
I'm not gonna single nobody out this morning. I'm not gonna ask each individual
-
here's that and everything else. I'm just calling for the whole body of Christ
-
find your place to pray. Ask God, why what can you do for
-
me? That's changing? It's not every live I believe every story, hours
-
