The Golden Pitcher - Bro Jeremy Howell 5-7-2023

Brother Nathaniel's psalm chapter number sixty three and verse number one, Oh God,

Thou art, my God, early, will I seek THEE. My soul

thirsteth for THEE. My flesh longeth for THEE in a dry and thirsty lamp

where no water is so David had a desire, that is a psalm of

David. David had a longing in his heart. David had a desire look

at your neighbor and say, hey, neighbor. David had a desire.

Brother Jesse Isaiah chapter number forty four and verse number three. Or I will

pour water upon him that is thirsty and floods upon the dry ground. I

will pour my spirit upon my seat and my blessing upon thine offspring. Do

y'all believe that I believe we're experiencing that? I sure do. Let's stand

for the reading of our golden a Next, the reading of our golden texts,

the selected scriptures the inspiration for this morning's service. John chapter number seven,

versus number thirty seven, three thirty nine. If you have it,

say amen in the last day, make a middle note of that in the

sermon you will hear me put an emphasis on that fact in the last day,

that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, What a

sight. And while crying, he said, if any man thirst, let

him coming to me and drink. Do you think he might have had the

prophet Isaiah in mind? Do you think he might have had the Prophet David,

that man of God, the sweet Psalmist, the Bloomtive of Israel in

mind? If any want thirst, let him coming to me and drink.

He that believeth on me, as the scripture has said, out of his

belly shall flow rivers of living water. And our grand finale this morning will

be an emphasis on the worst number thirty nine. May we pray, Heavenly

Father, we love it, We praise you. We thank you so much

for the ability to come to the House of the Lord, for enabling us

and giving us what we need to be able to make our way here.

I thank you for the sembling of these people together to hear your word.

I pray that you would help me to do what you've called me to do.

Anoint me, set a watcher of guard and my mouth, and help

me to say only the things you would have me to say, nothing more

or less. No tears of this though people, that they might hear what

the Spirit saith to the churches through this preach word, through this blessed word

of God. Not through my words, God, but through your words.

I pray preach through me, Oh, Holy Gost, and I pray that

we would not hear only, but we would heed. Help us to not

depart this place sorrowfully, but joyfully in Jesus name. Amen. Say,

hey, neighbor, have you seen the golden picture? Hey, neighbor,

have you seen the golden picture? Our text is found in a New Testament

book of the Holy Bible. The title bears the name of its writings author.

This book of the Bible is one of four gospels. The Bible readers

among us today can tell us the name of the four gospels, and they

are Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The first three that you

just named are known as the Synoptic Gospels. And John's gospel stands alone or

apart from the Synoptic Gospels. So the synoptic Gospels are Matthew, Mark,

and Luke. Okay, the first three that you just named are the Synoptic

Gospels. But I want you to know that John's Gospel is very different.

Why is it different, pastor thank you for asking, because I would like

to share with you why it is different. And during this message this morning,

I would also like to share with you why David was blessed in the

manner that he was blessed, and while the prophet Isaiah was blessed in the

manner that he was blessed because of their great desire? How could you have

four gospels that are inspired by the Holy Ghost, And the authors of those

four gospels were no doubt moved on by the spirit of God and put pim

to parchment and wrote the very words of God. But somehow even the Gospel

of John stands out from the other gospels. Those of you that know something

about the sixty six books of the Bible, you know that every word,

every punctuation, the commas, the semicolons, the colons, everything in their

own purpose. It's God to breathe. This is the Word of God.

And that's why we were told not to revise it, not to change it,

not to add to it or take away from it. So how come

people recognize that John's gospel was so different that we would put Matthew, Mark

and Luke's gospel into its own category, and we put it in a file

and stamped synoptic gospels. And then over here in a separatement Envelow will put

the Gospel of John and say, this stands alone. This stands aside from

that others. This is a little bit different. If you'll think with me

concerning the character John in the Word of God, you will notice that the

Bible says that he was one of three, and even though he was one

of three, he was one of one. There was something very special about

this man John, and I hope to prove to you this morning that it

was because of the desire that he had in his heart for the Lord.

This man, brother Samuel Staring, had a desire to be close to Jesus.

We feel like he was one that always wanted to be standing right beside

the Master. This is why I appreciate people that liked to go to church,

those that refuse to forsake thissembling of themselves together with the believers. It

just seems to me like people that love God would love to be in a

place wherever that geographic location is, where it has been designated or set aside

from other venues and places, structures and buildings where the people of God would

gather together. I believe if John was alive today that John would be frequenting

the place where the believers are gathered together. People say, well, can't

we have church just anywhere? I know that you can get in the presence

of the Lord just about anywhere, for he's as close as the mention of

his name. But he encouraged togethering together of believers when he gave us the

scripture if two or three of you well agree. He also said, if

two or three are together together in My name, there am I in their

mits? Why didn't he just say, hey, if one of you are

walking along. He was encouraging us coming together and not forsaking the assembling of

ourselves together. But sometimes, Sister womb, even though we have that togetherness,

and I thank God for the togetherness of the Bethel Hole in his church.

Probably nearly seventy of you all this morning, and I realize you are

a unified or a close knit group of people that God has somehow intertwined Joel's

life. He's brought you from various places in these beautiful United States of America.

You are people of like mindedness, are people of life, precious faith.

You are people of similar purpose, that you have similar goals and objectives.

But somehow all of these disciples of Jesus Christ were the same kind of

people. I mean, Jesus selected twelve to be his apostles, those that

walked around with him during his three and a half years of ministry, that

were very instrumental in his life. They supported him, they ministered to him.

They were very valuable, including the notorious infamous Judas. Jesus saw some

wonderful things about him. I mean, Judas got appointed over the treasury of

the Lord's ministry. But what was it about? John? And I want

us to soul search here this morning and look at our own lives and see

do we have a desire? There's people in this building that are now recipients

of salvation that will admit when God first flung the craving of them for him,

they replied, when the spirit drawed them, they came to the Father's

house and knelt down in an old passion alter of repentance. In the old

creature became a new creature to the glory of God. There are people in

this building this morning that will say, I asked God to forgive me because

I did not love people the way I should love people, and I turned

loose of it. I would not hold on to the fact that I hated

people. I repented of it and turned away from it. You can ask

God to do something for you, but twenty to thirty, even fifty years,

and if you're not willing to turn loose of it, you're just never

gonna get free from it. And that's what a lot of people are doing.

They want to be saved and their sin. They don't want to be

saved from their sin. I know that when I came to the altar nearly

thirty years ago, I meant business. In the words of Sister I was

I was done with my old lifestyle. I remember telling the Lord that morning,

I feel your spirit drawing me. You're working on that end, and

I'm going to re suffocate. I'm going to come to you. And I

believe that the Lord met me at the altar. But Brother Jesse, the

thing that I told the Lord was this, I am sick and tired of

the way I'm a living. And as soon as I said that, I've

done something I had not done in a long time, I cried, literally

melted into the floor. And fell to my knees and was born again.

Old desires were replaced with new desires. I thank God for the desire that

he put in my heart to get out of bed this morning, to wake

up earnerly, and to finish preparing for tonight's this morning service, even though

we had been in church up until ten o'clock last night. I feel like

On was this kind of man that could say, there's just something going on

inside of me that I cannot explain. I'm not looking for an opportunity to

get away from the people of God. I'm not looking for somebody to say

something that upsets me so I could walk away. You will remember that Peter

was given an opportunity to walk away because Jesus knew what he was bringing these

men into. And Jesus looked at Peter and said, just go ahead and

go. He told the other guys, just go ahead and go. And

Peter's spearheaded this effort of keeping everything together. And he said, Lord,

to whom shall we go, Thou hast the words of eternal life. So

we know that Peter had a desire to be in the presence of Jesus.

He didn't want to be anywhere else. This guy is successful commercial fishing business.

He loved the fish, he loved the people. He's got a family.

We find where Jesus prayed for his mother in law. He's pulled in

all types of directions, but his pre eminent desire, his most important passion

in us to have something scratched here. He needs Jesus to be in his

life. But even though Peter is such a man as this, how does

John stand out beyond and Peter and Peter's commitment and dedication. I feel like

better Samuel than John. Realized that he could pull strength from this source of

power that was available at his fingertips. He realized, this is a blessing

that has been given to me, and I'm not going to let go of

it. If you look at sister Wooten to some of the other elder sisters

in this church, you would know that any time the spirit of God moves,

she refuses to let that pass her by. Where she is untouched by

that spirit of God, she moves quickly into that flow. If you were

into that river where the spirit of God is moving, She's got a desire

for it. Sometimes I see the spirit of God moving the way that it

is, and I can tell about everybody in the building has the same desire

that God had, David had, Isaiah, had her sister wound, had

her pastor has for a move of God, or for an experience with Jesus.

Now, if you're having a problem thinking about Peter and his commitment and

his dedication and judice, and his shortcomings and his failures, your heart is

not in the right place. There should never be a time that any child

of God says her, my backslid because her or the behavior of somebody else

and her lock of commitment to they gave me a desire to do something that's

other than being with Jesus. But we find that child he's not worried about

what Peter's doing, that he's not worried about what Juanus is doing, but

he's worried about Chard getting everything that he needs to get. And re find

that this man is laid up, but just the chester her Jesus. He's

borting the type end and gets some strength, but that mighty sours her power.

Chald must not begin his writings by focusing on the earthly ministry of Jesus.

All the other us, the authors, or the other custels begin their

custels have focused on the public ministry. But Chard's fascination was bigger than the

moment he goes and starts us. In the beginning, he knew who Jesus

watch her. That's what sets his cuspel, that part to recycle brothers.

Chard and lives for who he really is. So I'm talking to somebody in

this fielding this morning. When revival comes up, you shouldn't get a passion

for church. The revival comes up, you shouldn't get a DESI hired for

the better things of calm. When it comes public, it's not time to

get fascinated. Travels fascinating come back heading we may at to put the pen

to the punchman child was fascinated and whenever it took the pen and man his

last punctuation, Marc Chod was only all the purposes that he was writing that

until it is finished. Somebody that's fascinating for the moment is only in it

for the moment. It's like, oh man, they're serving krispy Kreme's up

to the road as handy down. Now we're gonna go get Krispy Kree.

But the person and has really got the desire is the one that makes a

forty five minute track from here over there to Cleveland Avenue on the western side

of Fort Mars and walks in there and says, I've been thinking about this

all morning. I've been thinking about this for the last six weeks. I've

been thinking about this for the last six months or six years. It's always

on my mind. You see, John was not only focused on who he

was holding the public ministry of the cod Man that Jesus Christ of Nashta,

who know Cholant, was to introduce us to his king, who is king

of kings and Lord of Lord. He introduces him. Jesus Christ asked Titi

to try you remember the cod head. He seems that John is trying to

draw morder out of any eternal fountain. He realizes this ministry is short term

and his days are few. But there's more to this. The one meets

the either, and I want to get every bit of it. I care.

John chapter number thirteen, Verse number twenty three said, now there was

one that was leading on Jesus's bosom, one of his disciples, whom Jesus

loved, don't you thank you? Loved all of them all of them were

chosen, and even one of them decided to become a Therefore, now there

was reading on Jesus's bosom, one of his disciples. The context of this

incident and is Jesus has his chosen ones, and they are eating supper.

And as we read of this gathering together on the believers are the followers.

The focus shifts to three characters, the Lord, John and Judas. But

everybody in the building looks the same. Everybody's dressed for suffering. Everybody's gotten

an appetite, everybody's ready for a little hundred leaven bread. Everybody's ready to

partake, or they wouldn't have even come to the supper. But we see

that the focus gets narrower, and we look upon John and we realize that

this man realizes that Jesus has given eternal life, giving the water, and

the other is or the betrayer, and come on having the others or the

woman pins the book of Revelation, while the other is the son of Perdition

whose Satan has entered. Its struggling for me to realize that there can be

people in the middle of a local church, there can be people in the

midst of a wonderful revival. There can be people literally they're eating from my

hands? Are Jesus ann get devil to get personal left to get twelve in

that person? Don't you be one that takes the church that loves the devil

to do more? Let's sit on that view. Don't you the one the

devil to come in you? And by don't you letting him come in that

hard? You better take the devil out? Raising has a wrong old chersus.

At this point, Sister would and everybody is chosen. At this point,

Jesus has to say, all of you are chosen, but one of

you is it death. At this point, everyone's present at roll call.

I don't know who came in late. I don't know who came in early.

I know that probably John was probably the first one there to make sure

he got a special seat, Brother James, and his special seat was one

I've got to be right there by the pastor anybody that knows Brother Rick Jacob

knows it. On my left there's a seat that is always open to him.

And I may or may not ask you to remove herself. Most of

the time I will prevent you from sitting down to calls. I like his

spirit that this world is hard enough on people. I like his cool,

calm, collect itself being right beside me. So I call it my left

hand man, and the seat on my right it's usually designated for my wife,

for my bride, and most people don't try to intrude on that.

And I'm not saying, guys, but all the guys were sitting together.

Just leave that open for her to come over and sitting down. She won't.

I'm trying to tell you that John was obviously seated in a very special

seat. So yes, everybody's two chosen and everybody is special, but there's

something very special about John. I don't know why God said he saw have

I hated? But Jacob? Have I larned? I think this morning I'm

helping you understand that it has a lot to do with reference, reprososity said,

reciprocity, recipocation. I think it has a lot to do with Hey,

this guy right here is fascinating with me. I'm coming in here to

have supper. The time of my departure is at hand, and I looking

right here on my left, ready to eat, seemingly but really ready to

be rapped by my side, ready to stand I'm so ready. I'm ready

for this to get old. I'm coming for this to go. Have you

were never it was so close to Jesus. There's an intimacy there, not

a homosexuality, but there's an intimacy. I believe the Holy Ghost is helping

you understand this morning, the importance Harper having an ache in your heart and

a landing in your heart for what it is. God wants you to have

talk to hold the promise in front of you, but you should not expect

him to dangle the character in front of you every day, whether their characters

there hook or not to. You're gonna get to the world, car I

said, child was there the dislikeful plasa, whether there was a good service

and not to he had a desire for the fire. I think he said,

I'm loving bread. That's good, that's great. Okay, so on

one, that's good, that's great. But when Jesus sat down, Okay,

now we're talking, and you will remember this friendship, this close proximity

that John maintains with Jesus. Others are the disciples begin to envy it and

they get jealous of it. Come on, I've had this for several days.

I dealt with a spirit to jealousy last night. And it is what

I said. It is. It's as cruel as the grave. And you

can see that it even tried to get the other disciples of Jesus. And

one time Jesus heard Peter say to him, he said, Jesus's John giving

a special treatment. Once he gonna red carpet, rolled out to the seat

right beside you. How come you're telling me I'm gonna be bartered and my

blood's gonna be shed. But John, he might tear until you come.

And Jesus said, whatever I've said to you, I've said it. And

he said, what is it to you about my plan? What it says?

We're not even gonna go there, because sometimes when you're going out to

fish and you should be standing on the shore, wait on me. You

read other the disciples out of church, That's what the Bible said. Peter

looked at them and said, I don't go a fishing. I guarantee you.

John wasn't looking for an opportunity to go kissing. He gon fuk up

point the fisher. O men, Jesus Christ, if you're looking for a

kission, you don't find it. If you're looking for a way out of

church, you gonna look up for tease. That's look up for an opportunity

to hear from time and then get life. You will apply that tree.

But the Holy Ghost in this place. So we realized, Brother Jesse,

everybody has the same opportunity, but not everybody has the same desire. That's

very good, that's very deep. Why did they get the Holy Ghost?

You've heard Brother Jesse say last night, while I'll preach it, he said,

our pastor used words of wisdom. It's at the beginning of his message,

and he said, I went from being disinterested in the spiritual things of

the church. He said, I enjoyed being with everybody. I loved church.

I didn't miss services. He's given this testimony several times. He said,

I'd love seeing it. I was saved, I say good bide.

I was living without sin for the most part, he said. When I

did sin, I'd ask God to forgive me. I just love being a

Christian, he said. But I did not have a desire for this river

of living water. I had a disinterest for the Holy Ghost. It was

good to see other people get it. I was got offended by it.

I shook my head, and I smiled and said, a man, praise

the Lord, and ain't that wonderful sister Howe and shouting again, ain't that

great sister? Candics got the Holy ghost. And Jesse said, but you

know, I never felt like it was for me. I had no desire

for it. But he said what our pastor said, let's pray for brother

Nathaniel and Sister Rachel and the girls that have been battling sickness. And when

our pastor said I need spiritual people to come here at this moment and pray

with me, Jesse said, that resonated with me. When he said the

Lord spiritual, it was like it left up in the air. And again

the flash so boldly spiritual. That's what Jesus is looking for. He's looking

on a talk sit by de side her until something happened. So he's looking

for David that will standing by his side until something come around. David the

saying, I know there is one of to treat couple. It's better than

the water for the west or Beth la Hell. I appreciate her where I

thank God for what he's done without longing for something better. The Bible said,

it is the Lord that both worketh in us to do and to wheel

to do his good pleasure. So at the supper everybody looked the same.

So at the end of the revival, for however long it last, at

the end of the revival, brother Rocap and I will make a mental checklist

or physical checklist to say how many were saved, how many were sanctified,

how many were holy goos filled? And then we look back and saying,

hey, he's a gentleman. Obviously they who wanted it. Obviously they who

wanted it. Do you know why Judas went out? It wasn't because Jesus's

sayings were hard, And it wasn't because the pass Over Supper wasn't proper.

It wasn't because the preaching wouldn't come barrel straight. It wasn't because Jesus wouldn't

be a serious with ever showing his love and affection. In fact, Judas

said, I have betrayed an innocent man. Come on now. He wasn't

going out of the church pointing fingers and nobody. But I want you to

know there's never an honorable situation when any person of God leaves the family of

God. That is a dishonor, and that's gonna hurt somebody. It's gonna

hurt themself more than it hurts them anybody else. Come on, now,

everybody in the build. It looks the same this morning. But I don't

know what's going on there under the surface in every I didn't know who's already

over John the bay. I don't know who's already in Malta in the will

clt room next week. But I can tell who's in this service. I

can tell her who's in this lip high. I could tell her who's trying

to get a treat from that cold in picture. John was a fisherman,

so were some of the others in the room. John was the son of

Thunder, so it was his brother James. It's apparent that James and Peter

had God given leadership abilities, because after they received the holding ghosts, they

became leaders over these very men and the New Testament Church. But what stands

out to me about John Dearing my studies is that this man had the greatest

desire to be with Jesus, so he would be the one that lives the

longest. He would be the one that saw Jesus give the revelation there on

the island Patmos, because he had a desire to get close to Jesus.

And that's what Peter was saying. Hey, though all men forsake you,

I'll never forsake you. And Jesus said, you don't even realize your heart.

Now, I'm praying for you that your faith don't fail you. Not

you're gonna fail me. And whenever you remember how you fail me, you

better go out and weep bitterly and come back to me. I see an

increase in Peter's desire after a true repentance and a true turning. Come,

come on, Y'll get what I'm saying. Oh, Peter was all mouth

and no action. But John. We found at one point that John kind

of followed them to Pilot's hall at a distance, But he was not afar

off. He just serving God, walking alongside Jesus at a guilty distance,

far enough away that he felt guilty. Isn't that's something that they could apprehend,

apprehend, apprehend Jesus and be walking away with him. And all the

other followers of Christ have pled to their houses and they're hide behind closed doors.

But this very John, he's walking and looking, He's I know what

the I will sitting to the road camper. He's trying to look up.

He's keeping his eye. You know what he's thinking. If I could just

get closer, if I could just lay my head on his bosim again,

I want you to know what, no matter what, he's coming home with

Jesus, if he's healing the center or raising the dead friend or two,

you will trying to get to Jesus. And that's the desire a child.

I will go with him through the garden. I will go with him outside

a pilot's hall. I will go with him from us seventy. I'm going

with him. My God, I feel the holy ghost desire. I'm dealing

with a desire the golden picture. You don't see the value of that golden

picture. I didn't bring one this morning, but that'll work. You don't

see the value of the golden picture. John wanted to keep his hands on

the golden picture. The people didn't see the value of the golden picture.

But John got a grip on it. I looked up the definition of that

word grip, and it's an act of holding something or somebody tightly. John

was walking around with the picture. Now, Brother Jesse, that sounds to

me like church people saying, can I have a moment with a pastor?

Hey? How can I have a moment with this one? Can I have

a moment in that altar? Can I have a moment that somebody has clung

to it? Somebody's got a grip on it, and I'm telling you they're

not gonna let it go. It's like whenever you go to grandma's house and

you want some sweet tea and your your cousin's walking around with a picture.

What you're saying is, if you'll take your hand off of that picture,

I'd like to put it in mind and pour me a little bit out of

it. Now, we ought to be more concerned about the picture that we

are the water, because I'm gonna tell you that Jesus is the picture that

that clipping water flows out up. That's why I call people before, you've

got to fall in love with Jesus, before you get the Holy augustom.

You've got to glove him, gord that you've got anybody else. We've gotta

clean to him, We've got to hold on to him. I'll preaching to

us this morning, preacher, Well, am I not getting the same blessing?

And the same promise. Now, Sister Wounds, went through this entire

servant. Some of you said, amen, through this entire servant. I

want to know who is saying. I realize Pastor is showing me, teaching

me, preaching to me on how I can get closer to God and how

I can walk away too through this revival. Seeing I got satisfying you.

See, John, he may not have had the leadership abilities of James.

I remember that. James and John's mother, the wife of seven. He

said, put my boy on the left and put my other boy on the

right. I've never heard anybody till us together. In fact, it's time

together right now, thank you, Holy Ghost. And so here it is

left seat Jacob right who right Seaton the Mama so apparently mother and the thing

of peace leaning on her bosom he have on Jesus's bosom on his chick.

Obviously John's already got the left seat. She said, Put James in the

right seat. James is gonna be in the command center. James is gonna

be the leader of the church. But as you won't find that, James

was in love with God and James was quite the person. There's two different

Jameses that are apostles, and both of them became great and mighty men of

God. But the Bible tells us a lot of times where John was trying

to get as close to Jesus as he can as couldn't be a proximity where

the preachers preaching. I love it when we have a tent meet. We're

gonna be having worth soon to come and fall run over there in power course,

I would love it with a half mile away or a mile away.

I can hear the preacher. When I was a little boy, and I

would go outside there he rady chunks, and to sit on top of Papa's

old chicken. Cupid, how to listen to the black preacher over there across

the corners, preacher, and it would bless my soul. It's so good

to hear that, isn't it. But when you're coming to church like he

did at last stop of the gable, and you realize, Jesus, he's

already in the house, the preachers, preacher, and a spirit of God

has blessed, I said, a spirit of Poper. He's moving and does

it? Does high here? Ain't sitting on top of from a chicken Cooper

there up there around me alto praising it all. Everybody looks the same at

the supper. They have God given abilities, talents, they're chosen. But

John has a desire to get as close as he possibly can one inch one

inch desires. I want to tap that front the love of work, right,

I mean, son, he's right here. It ain't no homosexual move,

it ain't no homosexual gesture. I believe he's turning his ear to he

realizes insight of this eternal being. He focused in his gospel. In the

beginning was the Word, he said, that's my saver of be sitting by.

He's Creator. He's not just the thirties year old man welcome around performing

miracles. He starts out saying, in the beginning was the word and mine

that I've been sitting by. He was God, and the word was with

God. The same was in the beginning with God. And by the way,

he's the creator. He start somebody that home. Look at this round

up on a cross, and he is the Lord of Glooory. And that's

why his gospel has got us a knocktic gospel. He's taken us through the

very existence and the being of God, the deity of God all I feel

like preaching to you this morning. Something we see John is looking through different

glasses than you and I are looking through. Sometimes. Brother Samuel put on

them reading glasses. See if he looks like my son. Brother Jesse put

on the reading glasses, See if he looks like my son. So we've

got two goofy guys looking at one another, and look at that. Hey

are you probably are noticing you can't see as good. You probably can't even

focus on brother Samuel. Can't you, Brother Samuel, can you focus on

me right now? As I preach? He said, I can barely make

you out because us Those are level one point five reading glasses. You don't

need them. But take them off and you can see me, now,

can't you. I'm telling you people come to church and they're looking through the

wrong glasses. They don't see the preacher like they ought to see him.

They don't see the seniors, and I say, ought to see them.

They don't see the brothers and sisters, and I say ought to see them.

It is not somebody to fuss the pot with. It is not somebody

can be justus Wick, and is somebody to be proud. I'm standing here

by proud my brother down, my sister, I have not a shaved that

Jesus, I'm not a shaved. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

To me, this is the beautiful thing that Brother Nathania will be preaching

tonight. And if this sermon could be the catalyst to you acting upon something

tonight, if this will be the catalyst that will help you play before church

tonight instead of playing and realize, yes, our pastor will be there,

the saints of God will be there, but your focus ought to be Jesus

will be there. I'm gonna clean to the golden picture. I'm going to

clean to the golden picture. I'm gonna hold to Jesus ringmon that golden picture.

Brother Jesse. Now I feel like Sister Wooton. And whenever John would

get closer to Jesus, he could tell that there's strength in this man.

There's something that should not be there, that is there. There's something about

this man. John could tell, right, Brother Philip, and so he's

just taken and he deducted. This is the son of God. This is

the annoyanting morn and Brother Tyler, that's all that's gonna take them is whenever

you get to worship of Jesus or the way you ought to worship him,

and get a desire to worship him and a desire to be spiritual, you

won't think about klon pie or cheeses take, although I will when I'm knowing

his presence do it as well. But you will start faith. Brother Tyler's

that all right? Is that offense? If you will start thinking about him

twenty four hours a day, I will come this morning the first thing right

off thinking about it, thinking about it. So in his search, John

and is obviously looking for satisfaction, just like every person in this building is.

And Judas went down the wrong trail. He did. He didn't run

well. He went down the wrong trail and ended up off the realms.

He went down the wrong trail and went off the realms. There's a lot

of people say I don't need to go to church, and they wonder what

happens to their kids and their grandkids. You train them up, You bring

them up in the way that they should go. You train them up.

And so we feel like John and his search for satisfaction, John took the

right pass by staying close to Jesus, and he ended up in the upper

room, and he lived this latter day's filled with the Holy Ghost for John,

and his purpose was living for Jesus, for Judas. His purpose was

living for Judas. I'm living right now for Jesus. I'm not living for

Jeremy. I'm pastor in his church right now for Jesus. I'm not pastoring

it for charity. Right I'm not pastoring this church for approval, affirmation or

applause. I'm not pastoring his church for a pitchion of h or a parsonage

or a car payment. I am in this for Jesus. And that's what

John had. He had pure motives. I want to get close to him.

I want to lay my head on his chest. So I believe there

are some here this morning who are attending these services and these revival services,

who simply enjoyed the music and the singing. But Sister Wood and I cannot

wait until they started looking for something more. This morning, our world cup

to Sister Staring leaving a beautiful text message, and she said, Pastor,

I'm sorry that I didn't reply to that last text. She said, I

got my shout last night, something I've always wanted. One of the signs

of that was she went home and went to bed. She didn't set up

all night with a void in her heart. Because we're one of the one

of the things that we noticed. After we've been in his presence, we

can lay down and go to sleep because that boy, we've been satisfied.

We're not in search of something out. I knew right there in the fact

that she didn't answer by eleven o'clock, and there was something, Brother Stare,

and we have a group text that she's in. I sent them a

tech. I knew right then. And they had had church. They had

had church. Somebody had taken that golden picture in their hair and that living

water and got to run it. I'll tell you last night we were praying

for some of these over here. They were seeking the Holy Ghost, and

I said, God, we churched them as much as we can church them.

This is what I said to night, Brother Jesse got the Holy Ghost.

I said, I preach to them as punch as I can preach.

I've got a spiritual as a man can get. I've been sold for seven

days a time from preaching heart twice on Sunday, I said, I put

everything I had in it to move with my said God, I know that

I planned it. I know the sum of water, and I'm asking you

to give the increase. He walked with a little long later Jesse's and the

play filled with the Holy Ghost. And that's what I said last night,

I said, God, what I need is a river or river or little

boat took fall out of the valleys her pitch and every does not have.

The Holy Ghost from Posre not satisfied him. We need a river, we

need a river, syst. One of them was your grandson. He's praying

right there, I said, God, I've been preaching to him for seventeen

years. I pointed right there and his belly. I said, God,

we need a river. We need a river. We need a river a

point of somebody else. That's what happened to you. That's what changed you,

brother Joda. Than that's what changed you, brother Philip. But the

Philip said before he got the Holy Ghost. In fact, I think the

very night he got the Holy Ghost, he noticed that there was a desire

present. If you're a child of God, the fact that God is working

in you both to will and doing his good pleasure, that's nothing to be

as satan about him. You didn't have that desire six weeks ago. Why

do you you caught it now? Because it's Calder who worked in wood,

I said, pitch card He who worked in me. I told, hey,

ain't man, I'm telling you matter fact. Said he's good in the

upper part of my house, and look out the good girl and say card

Her, I let the pulice of the spirit Calda, I mean the hard

that goes. Before he went to church, he was looking at that bedroom

when the saying where is the golden picture? Where is the golden picture?

You don't have to wait till when my soul is basket in the presence of

the Lord. I'll be satisfied. You can be satisfied, sister stairs.

And now I laid me down as slept. I wasn't worried about who's gonna

keep my soul because I had complete total victory. She got carried into another

realm of the holy ghost. And this is what Jesus was promising. He

said, Judas ain't worried about being satisfied. He's worried about satisfied himself.

Come on now, patter, last time, before I walked into my office,

there's some unsatisfied hunger here. There's some insensible designs here, and I

want you to know you can feel the same thing that chim patt prior to

the outpohol of the Holy Ghost. You gotta have a desire can come to

the upper room and you can walk out field. Matthew five and six says,

blessed are they which do hunger and thirst at the righteousness, for they

shall be feeled definitely. The Holy Ghost is righteousness. John chapter number seven

and worst number thirty seven. Since a Sunday morning, moving on quickly,

the Bible said, in the last day, that great day, Do y'all

remember me telling y'all put an emphasis on that. In the last day,

that great day, the last day of the feasts. Find that Jesus stood

up and he started crying loudly. Does it matter how loud to get Oh

yes, what about that shout? How could there be anything too that yell?

Jesus stood up and he cried, saying that if pity mad thirst to

let him call onto me. Let him come to me and drink. He

that believeth on me. As the stricture has set out of his fall,

shall flow rivers of living water. Now get this right here. This is

the peast of tiber knuckles. It's not the other three. This is a

certain piece that you don't read much about in the Bible, but it's actually

the biggest, most celebrated piece toa And here it is to set aside.

Why why is this set aside? Like John's gospel? But why is this

piece set aside? Because it's the piece of timber knuckles. And every Jewish

Mary will come to Jerusalem and get to that the temple, and they will

see the praises of kind. And they got one thing in mind. I

will thank him for the harvest. I will think him prevent Jehovah Chila.

I will thank him for the provision my family and mother celebrating. Where Norti

cuts down the priest, he'll take a golden picture and he'll go over there

to the pool hustalone. It's the same pool that the blind man washed his

eyes in and him diep Papa the water. Why did the blind man have

to wash up in the pool of slone? Because her Jesus was gonna shoot

him later him living water said, he said, I ever living bad getting

this, I'm going too fast for you. The priest will walk to that

well, the pool of Salon, and he'll take that golden picture and he'll

get some water, and then he'll go over into the temple and he'll pour

out of that golden picture into a silver bowl. And while he's pouring into

that silver bowl, y'all ain't getting he starts praying, let it range a

hola gyre, Let it range a hola gyreh. And Jesus is sitting there

in the church. He's sitting there, and the Bible is sitting in the

first verse of that, so it's chapter that Jesus's brethren we're trying to get

him to go to the circus. You see, what do you mean?

I thought they were in church, goes a circus. Jesus brothers trying to

get him to go to church and the circus, and they said, if

you go, you can do a miracle, improve that you're God. Jesus

said, you know, that's gonna set me up. They hate me,

They envy people out of calls. They don't want to hear what I'm saying.

That's going to provoke him to anger. And Jesus acted like brother Tyler,

he wasn't even going to go to the feast because his life would be

in jeopardy, his health would be at risk. But now we find that

Jesus went to church secretly. He's in that crowd and the priests doing what

the priest is supposed to be doing, being religious, and Jesus get some

belly full of it, realizes there's all these religious people that's got bods in

their life. They're tired of howking all the way up here with their family

and going home empty. They celebrate praising God for preyed I preached last Sunday

morning home water Wars. There's no biscuits. Hey, they're sitting there celebrating

the Lord of the harvest. They're celebrating the cultical listens to the Lord,

and Jesus just can't take it no more, and he stands up and he

cries it. He says, all of you that are here, they're traveling

from parting wide to be here. I am. They're living water. Oh

thank God, I'm telling you you're coming and bide here no after knock ups,

and you need to realize that He is the living water that comes out

of but the Golden picture. While they're asking for rain, He'll give us

a river. What do you want rain or a river? A rain or

a river? Let it rain, Let it rain, Jehovah Gyra. And

Jehovah Gyra is sitting right there, and he stands up and says, you

want to rain. You're fixing to get a river. Some of you been

praying, asay, if I could just get a touch of what brother Jesse,

God, just let it rain on my soul. That's not what God's

gonna do for you, sir. I ain't seen him halfway filled anyway.

He's gonna give you a river. You give me the hooligos right now.

You can walk out of here saying I believe on him. That's what Jesus

said. The next thing he said, before he's sitting down, he said,

he that believeth on me. As the scripture said, as David said,

as Isaiah said, as Ezekiel said, out of that billy shall flow

rivers of living water. Now, I'm telling you I prayed last time.

I said, God, these guys don't need rain, They need a river.

And the Lord has put a river the side of some of them.

And the Lord desires is wanted to satisfy. He doesn't want one of us

to have to live big up the rate he wants several lot of us to

live. Will us all this is the very thirsty world. They are attempting

to satisfy the void in all the wrong ways. They're doing some of the

various various things that Judas did, and it will not work out for them

the same way it did not work out for Judas. The setting in the

context of our text is Jesus and his disciples are in church and brothers stared,

I'll skip all this right here, and Jesus is saying, I know

what you're eating, I know what you want. And then he says,

you're gonna get what you want. Let's stand round, very We have had

several uprisings of the Holy Ghost already in this was those that already had the

river and their soul. You seem to flood gates opened up in the river

has fold out of the temple. There's something right now is still begging for

rain. You need to start asking for river. Sins to stare caught up

in that river. Last night, it says many heard him when he cried

out, And when he cried out, here's what they said, Brother Chris.

They were all sitting around and they said they ain't no doubt that guy

we've been debating about that we didn't think was here. He's here. And

here's what he said, Jesse. Someone said he definitely Christ. Someone said

he's definitely a great prophet. What they were saying is, I felt that,

did you filled out? I felt that? Did you filled up?

Thousands of people gathered there, and he stood up, cried out the light

of the tribal Judas craved has said, m that's who said he was going

to send these waves a revival, the myth, the whole of his change.

Brother Samuel, you ain't getting the rains, all of you that received

the Holy ghost. Ya aren't getting the rains. Y'all got rivers in there.

And every now and then the damn opens up and you feel it flow,

and you say, I don't know where it's coming from, but it's

coming from with them. And you say, how can so much power and

so much force be inside of me? That's what Jesus said, I will

be inside and I will satisfy the thirsty, and I will satisfy the hungry.

And you know what, the living warner is coming out of that child

of God's bodily temple who is thirsty this morning. You know what you need

to look for, A satisfying relationship, A satisfying relationship. That's why I

need a spiritual people to pray. And Brother Jesse said, I realized he's

not asking for religious people. He's not asking for a good son to pray.

He's not asking for a church pianist to pray. He's not asking for

somebody that never misses a service to pray. Because of the grave need,

he needs spiritual people. So what pastor was saying, I need people with

the river, I need people that's clinging to the picture. I need people

is holding to the picture, the golden picture. David said, my soul

thirst is for I need a satisfying relationship. John did not lack desire.

David did not lack desire. Isaiah did not lack desire. The Lord spoke

through Isaiah said, I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, Brother

Caleb. The river come from within in a hotel room because of a young

man getting down on his knees and prayer for his daddy was the prince to

Law's family, Brother Jesse. The river came forth from within a church pianist

who realized I'm not spiritual. Brother Philip, the river came forth from within

for a church drummer that realized I must have a burden for others. Sister

Candice, the river came forth from within for a woman and hadn't really been

raised at henocoust but said, I love her so much. I'll henderd express

pass and she'll get something she won't even understand. But one thing she'll say

is I know it's the river, since the wand of the river came forth.

She had the Holy Ghost already, but I'm talked about now. She

said, I got moored in a rain every couple of months. Now got

a river. Brother Jonathan, a river came from within. While we're outside

praying, and your mom was crawling on her hands and knees over there into

the darkness. God helped my trouble. Boy. He's behind me. I

was praying for those that had just got the Holy Ghost. And suddenly,

Brother Samuel, his body seemed to have been thrown in the air, hit

the ground and rolled for about thirty feet. The river got in there,

the currents or the river. You've been asking for rain, I'm telling you

what you need is a relationship, and that relationship will lead to a river

the Golden Picture. You had to fall in love with Jesus. Let's move

into these altars. If we'll move right now and kneel down, there's a

time to stand. There's a time. I want you to get real serious

and just love on him and say I need to get as close as I

can. And I'm asking you to increase my appetite, increase my thirst,

increase my desire. Rivers of livid water from the Golden Picture flowing from within

us. No music this morning, just all of us asking God to increase

our desire. Narcotics will not satisfy. Fame, fortune, popularity will not

satisfy that void. You need a river. Jesus told his brothers, it's

not by time to go to the feast, because my time hasn't came yet.

But when Jesus stood up and he cried out, his time had came.

In essence, Jesus would saying, by time has come. My time

has come. I need a river flowing from the gold Picture. Increase my

desire of Lord, where my thoughts are on you, continue the day and

my desires towards you. My heart has shifted my heart has shifted my dreams

of change. M h m hm. Asking to help you with desire,

desire, desire, Jesus, Jesus, increase my desire. Oh, I

want to love your Lord more than anything. It's so sweet in here this

morning, so weird, so full, so satisfying. I love him so,

I love him so much. I love him. How about a drawn

eye to God and he'll draw nigh unto you. The desires should be towards

him right now. Focus on Jesus. Get your hands on the golden picture.

Get your hands on the golden picture. Let's take our minds off of

everybody else to put them on Jesus right now? Can we do that?

More than well fame or desire, more than all, more than all the

worlds of time. I need to make it. I need to love him.

I need a desire that kid our comics won't fix it. Favable facing

popularity, wole face of Jenus Janus popularity and favable facing fortune facer Jenus,

Jesus came only Jesus and save his father. So I feel it right here

this morning. I can we desire give untusha
