  1. Will preach a message the Holy Ghost titled everything is

  2. in full exposure. Brother Nathaniel, Genesis chapter number three, Verse

  3. number nine. Brother jesse Luke, Chapter number eight, Versus number

  4. sixteen through eighteen. Please, my brother, Brother Nathaniel, Genesis three

  5. and nine. And the Lord God called unto Adam and said,

  6. unto him, where art thou? How many of you know

  7. the Lord knew exactly where Adam was. He was just

  8. requiring and requesting a confession of location. Our text will

  9. be Hebrews chapter number four. We'll be reading verses number

  10. twelve through thirteen. Brother jesse Luke, Chapter number eight, Verses

  11. number sixteen through eighteen.

  12. No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it

  13. with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed, But

  14. setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in

  15. may see the light. For nothing is secret. It shall

  16. not be made manifest. Neither anything hid that shall not

  17. be known. And come abroad take heed. Therefore, how ye here,

  18. for whosoever hath to him shall be given, and whosoever

  19. hath not from him shall be taken, even that which

  20. he seemeth to have.

  21. How many of you heard brother Jesse, say, for nothing

  22. is secret that shall not be made manifest. Let's stand

  23. for the reading of our golden texts Hebrews, chapter number four,

  24. Verses number twelve and thirteen. The Bible says, for the

  25. Word of God is quick and powerful, and sharper than

  26. any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder

  27. of soul and spirit and of the joints in morrow,

  28. and is a discerner of the thoughts and the intense

  29. of the heart. Neither is there any creature that is

  30. not manifest in His sight, But all things are naked

  31. and opened unto the eyes of Him with whom we

  32. have to do. Looking at our golden text, verse number thirteen,

  33. neither is there any creature that is not manifest in

  34. His sight. But all things are naked and open unto

  35. the eyes of Him with which whom we have to

  36. do again preaching a message the Holy Ghost title, everything

  37. is in full exposure. May we pray, Heavenly Father, we

  38. thank you for the opportunity to be in the house

  39. of the Lord tonight.

  40. We thank you that we can celebrate.

  41. Sister Cheryl Holme, We thank you for the wonderful and

  42. beautiful testimonies that we have heard of this dear Saint

  43. of God. We're glad that she is present with the Lord.

  44. We're not altogether glad that she's absent in body. We're

  45. missing her.

  46. Lord.

  47. And would you strengthen this people, for I've heard them

  48. for over an hour and a half talking about the

  49. great things that she has done for each individual in

  50. this building. I pray that you would annoy this thy servant,

  51. set a guard at my mouth, and help me to

  52. say the things you would have me to say, nothing

  53. more or less, and annoyt the ears of this thy people,

  54. that they might hear what the Spirit of God says.

  55. And to the church, may we depart this place joyfully

  56. and not sorroptly. In Jesus' name in the church said Amen,

  57. as you're being seated, look at your neighbor and say, hey, neighbor,

  58. did you know God seize everything?

  59. Amen.

  60. Our text is found in a New Testament book of

  61. the Holy Bible. The Book of Hebrews begins with showing

  62. us the glory of Christ who sits upon the throne

  63. of His Majesty on high. This Book of Hebrews is

  64. different than most book of the Bible, because it was

  65. addressed specifically to Jewish people, Hebrews, Jews, people who had

  66. kept the Law of Moses, people who had attended certain

  67. Jewish religious festivals, partakers of the festivities of the people

  68. of God. And these people lived within Jerusalem or Judea.

  69. So we know that these were people that put a

  70. high value in the Torah or the Pentituk, the first

  71. five books of the Bible, the books of the Bible

  72. that meant so much to the Jewish people. And how

  73. many of you today know that the Bible says that

  74. that Old Testament is our school master, And I believe

  75. the Old Testament should mean something to the people of

  76. God today. I remember when the Church of God that

  77. we attended became divided because our adult Sunday school class

  78. teacher began to teach that we should no longer consult

  79. the Old Testament as all at all as New Testament believers.

  80. I remember him telling us that we should totally, absolutely, positively,

  81. one hundred percent just forget.

  82. About the Old Testament.

  83. And I remember somebody at the church approaching that man

  84. and saying, are you telling us that we should rip

  85. out the Old Testament out of our copy of the

  86. King James version of the King James Translation of the Bible.

  87. And he said, I am telling you, as a gentile believer,

  88. you should pay no attention whatsoever to the Old Testament

  89. as a young man. Then I did not agree with him.

  90. I wholeheartedly concur with many different Bible scholars, theologians, and

  91. preachers of yesteryear, and those of which I am numbered

  92. amongst today, that this whole entire Word of God, or

  93. the Word of God, in this entirety is good for

  94. the jew and the gentile. And I appreciate the revealed

  95. word of God. I thank God for the written word

  96. of God. It is the word of God. The Bible said,

  97. the Word came. The Word is with us. Tonight. Hold

  98. that word tightly and firmly in your grip tonight, and

  99. treasure it.

  100. It is the word of the Lord.

  101. And sister Howell, in this book, there are many things

  102. about the Lord himself that are revealed to us in

  103. this Word of God. There are many things about the

  104. Godhead that are revealed to us. There are specifics and

  105. details concerning the creation that are revealed to us.

  106. So many things. In fact, there.

  107. Are sixty six love letters or books of revelation where

  108. God reveals his heart, his mind, and his will to us.

  109. And it is true that there are some things that

  110. are beyond our understanding, and they re main a mystery

  111. to us to this day. There are some things that

  112. the prophet Daniel and the apostle John had revealed to

  113. them that they tried their best to explain to us

  114. and to bring understanding to us, but we are unable

  115. to comprehend it. And I'm okay with that, and I'm

  116. thankful for everything that has been manifested to me personally

  117. as I read the Word of God. So, Sister Rooting,

  118. these books are books of revelation, and some of these

  119. books are mysterious to us. And even though some of

  120. these things are hidden from us, nothing is hidden from

  121. the Lord. There may be some things about the Lord

  122. and the afterlife that have not yet been revealed to you.

  123. His ways may be past finding out. Thank God, that

  124. he is a mysterious master. But there is nothing whatsoever

  125. hidden from the Lord. If we're look at our golden

  126. text Hebrews, chapter number four and verse number thirteen, again,

  127. we'll see that there is nothing about the creature that

  128. the Lord has not noticed. There is nothing that has

  129. gone unseen, but all things are starting naked and open

  130. unto the eyes of Him with whom we have to do.

  131. We know the Bible said, behold, the eyes of the

  132. Lord are in every place, and beholding the evil and

  133. the good. I've seen people tremble and shudder after hearing

  134. a teacher or a preacher expound upon that particular verse

  135. of the Bible, And if they were doing good, there

  136. was no reason at all for them to trouble themselves,

  137. for to tremble at such words as that. I feel

  138. like God has noticed some great things that have been

  139. said about just Cheryl today. There is no doubt you

  140. have revealed to us things that she did for you

  141. personally or in the words of brother Jeremiah, separately and individually,

  142. and even privately and secretly. Now things are being brought

  143. to light the significance of this sister, of.

  144. Just how special she was.

  145. In Hebrews, chapter number four and verse number twelve, you'll

  146. find a scripture versa that is quoted oftenly often as

  147. talking about the Word of God and describes it as

  148. something that is powerful, something that is sharper than any

  149. too regissword, and how it is revealing or it has

  150. revealing power. It will pierce even onto the dividing asunder

  151. of soul and spirit, and of the joints and tomorrow,

  152. and as a discerner of the thoughts and the intensor

  153. of the heart. Oh, thank God for the revelatory power

  154. of the Word of God.

  155. I thank God for every time a.

  156. Preacher has preached to me the whole counsel of God,

  157. and for that part that has pricked my heart and

  158. pushed me into an altar of prayer. I'm thankful for

  159. every time the spirit of God brought a search light,

  160. the lamp of God's word into my heart, and it

  161. showed abroad throughout my being, and it illuminated certain areas

  162. of my heart and life and needed to be illuminated

  163. that there might be a revelation.

  164. In other words, God knew it was there.

  165. God sees what's in your heart tonight for our God

  166. and text says, and everything is in full exposure. If

  167. I may paraphrase, how many of you know you can't

  168. do wrong and get by. I want you to know

  169. you can't do good and it go unnoticed. And that

  170. is reassuring to those of you that like to do

  171. good for your Lord, unto your fellow man. I believe

  172. each person in this building tonight will agree with me

  173. that to Lord Seesar, what nobody else sees, nothing passes

  174. by him unseen. God sees when you get beside your

  175. bed and bow your head and get on, bend to knee,

  176. and pray for your brothers and sister through supplication and

  177. intercessoral prayer. God sees when you engage our community through outreach.

  178. Nothing passes by him unseen, even the good things that.

  179. You do for the Lord.

  180. But all things are naked and open unto the eyes

  181. of the Lord. This means half the thing is exposed

  182. to God. I remember my mother telling me around the

  183. age of twelve. She said, Jeremy, you've always been a

  184. modest and a pure soul. She said, around the age

  185. afore you discovered your nickingness, and you were not altogether

  186. okay with me seeing you in your natural state. Come on, now,

  187. you don't know what I'm talking about. Job described it

  188. like this, Naked I came into the world, and nicked

  189. I shall depart this life.

  190. We know that.

  191. When God made Adam and Eve, they had no need

  192. at all whatsoever for to wear clothes, Brother Jesse, clothing

  193. was not optional. Clothing was not required because sin had

  194. not yet entered into the world.

  195. It's just a husband and wife.

  196. And you know what, there's no sin at all in

  197. that circumstance at the beginning of time. But when Adam

  198. and Eve sinned against the Lord, and they hoped that

  199. their sin had escaped his notice, and they tried to

  200. hide amongst the trees because of their neckingness. As soon

  201. as they'd done what God told them to do, those

  202. created perfect human beings. Otherwise, other than their sin, they

  203. fell a nickedness. Now noticing our golden text, all things

  204. are open, all things are exposed to all things are naked.

  205. And so in his nakedness or in his guilt or

  206. in his shame, Adam and Eve they begin to cover themself,

  207. and they hide themselves amongst the trees, and they cover

  208. themselves in and the leaves, and God begins.

  209. To call unto them.

  210. In their neckingness or in their light covering, they felt

  211. like they had covered their sin.

  212. They felt like they were hiding from God amongst the trees.

  213. But a lot of people think about the gross sin

  214. of disobedience. They think about her, the betrayal of Eve,

  215. concerning her relationship with Adam. They think about her, how

  216. she sold him out to sin, and how she listened

  217. to the words of the septal serpent.

  218. But what a lot of people fail to overlook.

  219. Is this important detail of the goodness and the mercy

  220. of God.

  221. Even though these two.

  222. Human beings and had forsook God and forsaken his commandment,

  223. and had transgressed the law of God, God came looking

  224. for them. A lot of people don't think about that

  225. God came looking for them. God was missing that communion

  226. with him and Adam. God was missing that continuity between

  227. him and Adam. God was missing that covenant between him

  228. and Adam. And God came looking for him, and God

  229. politely asked the question, even though he knew the answer

  230. of that question, Adam, where art town?

  231. Can? I tell you?

  232. God did not need an application on a cellular device

  233. called Life three sixty. God did not need a GPS

  234. location to know where his creation was. David said, though

  235. I make my bed in the belly of hell, thou

  236. art there?

  237. I'm telling you, God knows who is in heaven and night.

  238. God knows who was in her tonight, and God knows

  239. her who is in hell tonight?

  240. I want you to.

  241. Know that God has not lost tracker of the numbers

  242. of the hair on your head. So I said, God

  243. has not lost tracker of the numbers of hairs on

  244. the heads of evergeneration in the pastor in the prayers

  245. in the future. That's a thankful that God sees and

  246. God knows where you're act. One of the most reassuring

  247. things that Adam would have experienced. It was God caring

  248. enough to see restoration, God caring enough to re establish

  249. connection and the half communion with him again.

  250. One of the most.

  251. Comforting things to the young man Nathaniel, who became a

  252. follow up Jesus. This would have been when Jesus told Nathaniel,

  253. you're in is re light. Indeed, there is no doubt.

  254. Nathaniel was comforted by the statement in you there is

  255. no gal But Nathaniel really knew that the Lord was

  256. mindful of him when the Lord said before that, dear brother,

  257. he called you, I saw.

  258. You when you were either underneath the fig tree.

  259. And you know what the prophets like Jeremiah and Isaiah

  260. and even the last great prophet, John the Baptist, could say,

  261. when we were.

  262. In our mother's belly.

  263. He formed us and ordained us to be prophets unto

  264. the nations.

  265. I want you to know here tonight.

  266. If there's a baby in that room and nobody else

  267. knows about, God knows it's there. I said, God nose

  268. and little baby, he is there. And I want you

  269. to know here tonight, Ta Dwain Harrison.

  270. God knows where you're at.

  271. God has not forgotten you. God has not forsaken you.

  272. He might have took sister Sheril up in his arms

  273. and evacuated her from sickness and suffering. As he took

  274. her stronger in his gripp and pulled her had a

  275. brother Harrison, and her pastor and a church family's gripper,

  276. and pulled him her upper into his bosom. Here is

  277. no doubt we were left here wondering about ourselves. And

  278. I want you to know here the night that God

  279. he sees the heartache. God sees her heartbreaker, God sow

  280. mother the rain, after that phone call, God sol pastor,

  281. after our listener, Mother Doraine's message.

  282. God sees and God knows Ah.

  283. It's comforting the know at the yn, seeing out of

  284. an omnistion, all knowing God who's in appy place. For

  285. holding her abral and the good for the persecuted church

  286. in another part of this world had a suffering. How

  287. lawfully God sees, I said, God sees, and God knows.

  288. When the little boy brings the preacher a glass of water,

  289. God said, they shall not lose their reward. When a

  290. one legged Pentecostal hol this woman named Sister share Garrison,

  291. caught her nugget that bounced off of Sister Rachel, a

  292. nugget with annointed preacher said, you may not be able

  293. to have kids, but the Holy ghost just spoke to the.

  294. Pastor to tell you roses will bloom again.

  295. Sister Cheryl would come in and lay her rosebusha at

  296. the ankle of the young woman never received her world

  297. or promise. I want you to know that God sowever

  298. a good deed her sister Cheryl did. The apostle Peter

  299. can tell you. And when he was at the house

  300. of Simon the Tanner, just trying to get a little napper,

  301. that God woke him up and told him about a

  302. gentile man that God revealed to him what was going

  303. on the high closed doors at the house of Cornelias.

  304. I want you to know, Penny, you tone in altar.

  305. The government may be forgetting about the pity. And I

  306. want you to know, God, they forgot about the pity,

  307. I said, God, they forgot about the pity.

  308. I think about that little widow that come in with

  309. just a pocket full of change. Huh.

  310. And what I mean by that, it's too little tokens

  311. of her success in life. It's all I got, But

  312. I'm giving it to God, and I'm giving it to

  313. God's house.

  314. And Jesus Christ.

  315. Himself is standing in there, and Brother Rode cap hold

  316. them Scribes and pharisees that love to be seen of men.

  317. They pray the lone prayers to be heard. They wear

  318. the long robes to be seen. They want to status,

  319. they want a position. They pay tithe of mint and anew.

  320. I'm telling you, they bring the best of the herds

  321. from the garden. They bring the best ceremonial sacrifices, and

  322. Brother Jesse, they just give up her out of their abundance.

  323. But then comes a little woman that's living on meager

  324. fare just the house. She comes in and with a

  325. trembling hand, somebody get two little coins for me. With

  326. a trembling hen, she comes in, and Brother's Philip. She

  327. cast those two little coins into the offering barrel or

  328. into the alms plate, and you know what, they didn't

  329. make a whole lot of noise like the arms of

  330. so many other people. But Jesus was standing in the temple,

  331. and the Bible said, he asked them to just see

  332. what that woman just gave her.

  333. Nobody noticed and nobody heard.

  334. I want to tell IRI's hooting her when you're stirring

  335. her porridge. How come on now, for the homeless camp,

  336. and for those in the camp that will eating of

  337. that porridge, I.

  338. Want you to know it means something of God.

  339. I said, up your slicing a tomato or an union

  340. in that fellowship.

  341. Paul, to the glory of God.

  342. There's not a timer of that stainless still bade cuts

  343. through the fresher of a tomato and makes him pack

  344. with a counter that God didn't hear it, and that

  345. God didn't see it. I'm telling you there's nothing goes

  346. unnoticed who n't.

  347. Seen by God. Nothing passes by him unseen.

  348. Notice the part of our gold textas says, but all

  349. things are naked open unto the eyes of Him. You

  350. know what, there's a lot of things that go past

  351. the pastor even the great prophet Elijah and Elisha would

  352. say at times God would withhold certain revelations from him.

  353. I know that the Bible said that God reveals his

  354. secrets unto his servants the prophets. But there's just some

  355. things God keeps to himself. I said, there's just some

  356. things you do for yourself. God saw sister Denisa go

  357. in there to last minute, slide up besides sister Eryl

  358. and say, you know what, I don't really know you,

  359. but I come to let you know I care. I said,

  360. God sees the things that you don't see. God saw

  361. sister Janet and Sister Neeli and others go and do

  362. something for him. Hand pulls on purpose, Hope see bring

  363. and Michelee and hope for Myles and Hope Lehi.

  364. All of you others have a part to him that

  365. I want you to know. I'm not there.

  366. I don't witness everything you do, but I know I

  367. feel a witness in my spirit that he noticed. I'm

  368. telling you, just like Peter photo Wittness in his spirit,

  369. that God need us to what Cornelius had done.

  370. I feel it in my spirital.

  371. Oh, thank God that you are a church that knows

  372. he is watching her, and he's looking enough to see

  373. what good is being done? Does that make anybody nervous?

  374. That all things are naked and opening to the eyes

  375. of him. Brother wood And used to talk like this

  376. after disciplining Tyler. He said he did that wrong in

  377. front of God and everybody. And he said, you know what,

  378. I whipped him hide in front of God everybody. If

  379. he embarrassed me in front of everybody, I decided I'd

  380. embarrass him in front of everybody. I know.

  381. You can't do this thing this day and hour from

  382. going to jail.

  383. And you can't discipline your children in public, in public, ya,

  384. or in public anymore?

  385. You see the Lord to call unto Adam.

  386. The Lord knew where he was from the beginning of

  387. his life until the end of us life. Adam was

  388. in full exposure. Leafs or no leafs, apron or no apron,

  389. Come on now, camel hair, dear hair, It didn't matter.

  390. Adam was in full exposure. And you know what, guilty

  391. and shame they made Adam hide from God. The same

  392. thing with some people today, and some who were listening

  393. to this message right now. Rather than get help, oh,

  394. come on, rather than getting restoration, rather than having restore

  395. continuity and connection, rather than having restore the holy communion

  396. with the Lord, which is what they need, they'd rather hide.

  397. It's kind of like when you see a wild animal

  398. with something on them they know should not be there.

  399. They just shake their head. If it's a little squirrel

  400. has got his head in the cookie jar, Her in

  401. the old peanut butter jar. Her only thing that squirrel

  402. can think he is. I've gotta get this off, I

  403. gotta get this off. And they spin hours upon hours.

  404. I've seen marine animals, I've seen beasts in the field.

  405. I've seen birds of the air. They get so focused

  406. on being liberated, are so focused to liberating themself, that

  407. they just lose her all sense of reality.

  408. I don't know why. Adam and Eve they just stop

  409. her what they were doing and say to me the

  410. first to say, what, Lord? Why am I not feeling you? Lord?

  411. Why do I feel guilt? Lord?

  412. Why do I feel same? You ain't gonna get by

  413. God sees there ain't no need it hiding. It should

  414. have been without him as it should be with some

  415. here tonight. You should be out to the altar, waiting

  416. on him. To come by. When they hide from the altar,

  417. they're hide from God. When they refuse to come to

  418. the altar, they refuse to be restored. He came into

  419. the garden at the cool of the day. It's not

  420. because God needed an air conditioner or conditioned environment. Are

  421. y'all with me, sister wouoding spirit of God's touching you

  422. right now? Sister, how you just thought that Adam and

  423. Eve had been standing right here in full exposure and said,

  424. cover me with thy feathers, cover me with thy spirit,

  425. cover me with i purity, cover me with thine innocence.

  426. Why in the world.

  427. Would anybody feel like Leaves is going to do? I said,

  428. why would anybody feel like pointing their finger? And somebody

  429. else is gonna do you ever seen that somebody gets

  430. in trouble because of full exposure and the first thing.

  431. They start doing that's pointing their finger.

  432. Had everybody else come on, now, I'm trying to preach

  433. in this building here to night. You pointing your finger

  434. even out them and out them pulling your his finger

  435. and evil, I ain't gonna get nothing do.

  436. That's the blame game. That's the same game somebody's playing.

  437. In this building tonight you did wrong with so did

  438. this one? Let me tell you about what this one's

  439. been doing.

  440. What does that have to do with what you're doing?

  441. God wanted at him to be restored. God wanted at

  442. him to be helped and not heard.

  443. Job.

  444. Chapter number thirty four and verse number twenty one talks

  445. about God seeing things. Proverbs fifteen and three talks about

  446. the eye of the Lord beholding everything. And our golden

  447. text lets us know God is watching Brother Nathaniel, Brother Tyler.

  448. As fast as you can knock the lights out of

  449. this sanctuary, no one, no one can see what brother

  450. Philip is doing. Right now, Come up here, brother Philip.

  451. Somebody knocked that hallway light out.

  452. Come up here.

  453. Nobody can see what brother Philip is doing on this platform.

  454. And I'll tell you, Brother Philip must be within two

  455. to three feet of me. And I have this weird

  456. feeling that I'm being watched, and I have a sense

  457. of a presence, not the absence of a presence, but

  458. I had the sense.

  459. Behind of a very real presence.

  460. I want to tell your joner, you can run, but

  461. you can't hide. You can stow away in the bottom

  462. of a ship, and even think that you're sleeping unseen.

  463. But the Master of the universe will begin to create

  464. a storm or a cataclysmic situation that will demand the

  465. attention of you and everybody aboard the vessel that you

  466. have chosen to sleep in. He can even prepare a

  467. fish that will follow in the shadows of that.

  468. That's all so that we're in the sea, fer and men.

  469. Decide to throw you overboard, that grete fish will swallow

  470. you alive.

  471. Oh, come on, now, what is done in darkness shall

  472. be brought into light.

  473. We know that the Bible said that Jesus he came

  474. into darkness.

  475. Men the set in darkness. They saw a.

  476. Great light that they ain't rather live in darkness? Why

  477. because their deeds or evil. I want you to know

  478. whether it's darker or not, he Caesar, Just as though

  479. the sun he's shining upon you her your sin, I

  480. said to alls, and I of God sees.

  481. Whether it's lying or day, a dark or not.

  482. Can't you feel us presents? You can't burder, you can't hide,

  483. He can't dodger. He got us tap the ol san

  484. I have God. Everything is in pull exposure, don't you

  485. Since the presence of the Lord, Adam, Adam, where ar

  486. tell Adam? The question should have been where our tell Lord?

  487. Where our tell Lord? And David said, creating me a

  488. clean heart, O God, and renew her right spirit within me.

  489. Turn those lights on, brothers and sisters. Do you know

  490. because of the revelatory power of the light bulb and

  491. the light that emits from that bulb, you can now

  492. see things supposedly as they are? But can I tell you?

  493. God can see multi layer in all conditions. I said,

  494. God can see through the exterior, and God can see

  495. the interior. It was set in the Word of God

  496. that God does not look like man does. He does

  497. not look upon situations as men do. He sees what's

  498. inside of the heart, and so does the word of God.

  499. Come on now.

  500. Awareness of His presence should make you want to do

  501. right always. It doesn't matter whether your bedroom door is

  502. locked or not. It doesn't matter whether or not you're

  503. in the parking lot of a business three counties away

  504. or three countries away. God sees our golden texts that

  505. I paraphrase. There is nothing in all the creation that

  506. is hidden from God. I paraphrase again. Everything is in

  507. full exposure. Everything and everyone is naked. Proverbs f fifteen

  508. and three says he not only sees the bad, he

  509. sees the good. No one in this building is doing

  510. good things without being unnoticed. Brother Danny, he sees you

  511. as you help escort the disabled into the house of

  512. the Lord.

  513. Brother Philip, and Brother Wood.

  514. He sees you too, as you open the door and

  515. his gatekeepers greet people with smiles on your face. Brother Duane,

  516. I'll say it again. He sees you tonight as a

  517. widow wer Sister Hammond. He sees you as a widow

  518. that is dealing with a situation seemingly out of your control.

  519. In the Book of Matthew, chapter number six and verse

  520. number four, it tells us that our alms may be

  521. given in secret, but because our heavenly Father, which sees

  522. in secret himself, he shall reward thee openly. For nothing

  523. is done in secret that shall not be made manifest. Listen,

  524. when someone feels the shame of exposure, they feel guilty.

  525. And because I know you good people have a K

  526. five graduation and a dinner celebration following this service, I'm

  527. gonna go ahead and shut her down. But I want

  528. to tell you all things are naked. And opening to

  529. him with whom you have to do, and the Bible

  530. set at the judgment seat.

  531. You have some business to do with him, with whom

  532. you have to do.

  533. Every word that is spoken, every thought, every deed that

  534. is done, you will appear before the judgment set of Christ.

  535. And he has perfect recollection of all unrepented sins. And

  536. some of you all done a great job to tell

  537. us about what sister Cheryl did for you. You remember

  538. the details. And I'm going to tell you, God's going

  539. to remember the good you've done for the kingdom and

  540. the bad you've done to the kingdom. God's gonna remember

  541. the good you've done for the king and the bad

  542. you've done unto the king and his people. You say,

  543. but God didn't see me. Take that second third look.

  544. I know you can't always unsee.

  545. Things.

  546. My brother in law talked about a certain situation that

  547. he was involved in. He said, I'll never do that again,

  548. he said, because there's some things you just can't unsee.

  549. And what he told me, he is not even a

  550. hole in his Christian man that I know of. He's

  551. not a Pentecostal man. I don't believe he attends a

  552. hole in his church, never has has no desire to

  553. He's a hard working man, but he let me know

  554. he will never put himself in that situation again where

  555. he sees things he which he had never seen. There's

  556. thing's about this book that I'm still trying to understand.

  557. And some of you kids and young people in this church,

  558. you feel like you know everything, and you know what

  559. me and some of these preachers could tell you. The

  560. more we read it, the less we understand it. We

  561. know a lot about it, we feel like we know

  562. a lot about it. But the deeper we dive, it's

  563. like a scuba diver in the shallow waters of the

  564. Caribbean Sea. Down there, they don't say Caribbean. They say

  565. Caribbean if you're an islander. And I see them, Brother

  566. Nathaniel's been right there with me, Sister House been now

  567. and watch them divers all hours of the day, night

  568. twelve one o'clock in the morning, swimming in the shallow

  569. waters of the Caribbean. And I think, Brother Jesse, I'd

  570. be right there with them up until certain time. Tell

  571. them predators start circling up in there, and we see

  572. them little balloons out there, just bobbing up and down

  573. in the waves. And Brother Nathaniel and I we've learned

  574. to know that's the crazy people that's out there taking

  575. octopuses out from under rocks. How do you know that

  576. because we've watched them. We've watched them drag them up

  577. on shore and say, you just got that, you know,

  578. just got that just now, You got all them fish

  579. just now. And we thought, well, don't you think that

  580. when you pierced him through this late at night, that

  581. mister shark was out there somewhere. You know, all of

  582. that flesh and DNA and only a blood in the

  583. water has just got murky and cloudy when you kill

  584. that thing. Don't you think you've been under water for

  585. but two hours? Look at the the amount of fish

  586. you got on that spear. We've seen them come out,

  587. would have looked like a two foot long spear full

  588. of fish. They they used it as like a stringer.

  589. And Brother Jesse, I thought, sweet Lamb of God, it's

  590. on a matter of time till mister man gets visited

  591. from something that can see him that he can't see,

  592. and he could deceive himself all he wants to and

  593. tell himself that the mighty great white or the Mighty

  594. Bullshark ain't seeing him, but they're seeing him. And you know,

  595. there's more than one reason to dwell in the shadow

  596. of the Almighty. There's more than one reason to dwell

  597. under the shade trede with Jesus. I need to be

  598. covered in feathers. I need to dwell in a secret

  599. place of the Almighty. I need to be underneath his covering.

  600. And that's what Adam should have recognized. I need you, Lord,

  601. and that's what I don't understand. And that's my burden

  602. here tonight. How people feel like, just because they don't

  603. come to the altar, that God doesn't see it, and

  604. that the church doesn't notice it. I must say it again,

  605. there is nothing going unnoticed by the Lord. Achon thought

  606. he could keep it hidden until the men of God

  607. started praying, and until the Spirit of God started leading.

  608. Can I put it this plane until the spirit of

  609. God started revealing. Sister Ethelen Harris used to tell the story.

  610. She said one time she was in a service and

  611. she said, the Spirit of God got to moving. I

  612. don't really recommend anybody doing this at all in this church.

  613. I'm telling you what. There's been plenty of times I

  614. could have done it. God's given me a gift. I'm

  615. not bragging one bit, not one bit at all. But

  616. I tell you God showed me two weeks ago that

  617. Sister Cheryl was going to pass. He spoke it into

  618. my heart. I'm gonna take my daughter home. She won't

  619. live in that house yor building her. She will live

  620. in the house I built for her. He revealed it

  621. to me. I didn't ask him to. He interrupted something

  622. I was doing. He's welcome to do that anytime he

  623. dropped that information. I immediately started working on her funeral search.

  624. I told my wife, I told my family, and I

  625. told this church brother Duane. I said, the Lord showed

  626. me sister Cheryld's going to pass. Now you know what

  627. she went through ICEU. She got better, she went to rehab.

  628. Brother Dwyane told me today in less than twelve hours.

  629. Is that right, Brother Dwyane, she was dead. Sister Howard

  630. cried yesterday when Brother Dwane left me the message and

  631. told me she's gone. Sister House said, but she was

  632. getting better, but she was in rehab. I knew what

  633. the Holy Ghost has said. He's taking her, and you

  634. know what he took her now, I think that's pretty

  635. awesome that the Lord had knew sister Cheryl's suffering days

  636. were going to be over soon, and that he gave

  637. me a revelation that her days of suffering would soon

  638. be over as well. I'm glad that the Lord gave

  639. me a revelation and understanding that brother Caleb is going

  640. to have a beautiful holiness bride that will be a

  641. blessing to him. And I'm glad that he has rested

  642. with assurance and peace of mind, knowing that when God's ready,

  643. he will meet her. But I tell you that all

  644. seeing I, God sees her tonight where she's sitting at.

  645. God knows what pew she frequents, and God knows what

  646. pew mister and missus Robecap Junior will sit in after

  647. Bethel hole in his church. He ain't revealed that to me,

  648. but I wouldn't put anything past our God. But Sister

  649. Ethelen Harris, she she told me. She said one time

  650. one of the prophets amongst them guys back in the

  651. early nineteen hundred, and she was that old Amen. She

  652. said the spirit of God got to moving on him,

  653. and she said that he just got the point he's

  654. in the Holy Ghost and point you remember the sister

  655. wooting and said God over and got the pointing in

  656. the pocket, pointing in the pocket, pointing in the pocket.

  657. Come to find out, he might not have had them

  658. things at church, but during the day he'd been putting

  659. a pack of marble in them pockets. He said, just

  660. as speaking in tongues and walking around that finger going

  661. off like a hounddog, could you imagine. And he can

  662. run all he wants to out the back door of

  663. that church. He can go hide in the oak tree

  664. of South Florida, or crawling a palm tree and be

  665. as nutty as a coconut and act like nothing's going on,

  666. and monkey around and even hugged the backhew and act

  667. spiritual jerk and shouting act. But the Holy Ghost new

  668. I don't know how deep we should go into this stuff.

  669. But it's been four or five years ago. It was

  670. about four or five months before can and God spoke

  671. to my heart that he would confirm the theme by

  672. one night daring the move of God, Sister road Cap

  673. would shout and be slain in the spirit in a

  674. certain spot. I told one person where that would happen

  675. At not because Jeremy How commanded or said it. I

  676. never told anybody else, and never told Sister road Cap.

  677. One night, the Holy ghosts got to moving like he

  678. was moving tonight when Brother Jesse and Brother Nathaniel was preaching,

  679. and like he was moving Wednesday night when his dear

  680. sisters were singing. Well, I've relived that a few times.

  681. That was wonderful. I appreciated Sister how obeying the Lord,

  682. but we got to have. In one of them outbreaks,

  683. Sister Roadcap went to running around this church, and she

  684. went to shouting in this very spot right here, and

  685. got slain in the spirit. I just turned around and said, okay, Lord,

  686. you gave me the theme, and you told me how

  687. you would confirm it. I made the announcement that night.

  688. I said, listen tonight, the theme has been confirmed. If

  689. y'all noticed, I felt impressed to the Lord this year

  690. to name and theme our homecoming Precious Memories. That was

  691. before Sister Cheryl's death. Hello, I'm not bragging on myself,

  692. but I'm gonna tell you. Sometimes I ask him to

  693. speak to me and he chooses not to. Other times

  694. he taps your pastor on the shoulder and he says, Jeremy,

  695. you need to know this so you'll be prepared. And

  696. I want to ask you, why are you taking offense Adam?

  697. When Jesus comes in there and he's saying, where are you, Adam?

  698. Why are you getting offended? When God tries to point

  699. out some faults and some cracks and some crevices that

  700. need to be filled, some things that need to be healed,

  701. and things that need to be restored, why are you

  702. hiding from the altar? I'm gonna say it again. Them

  703. two little mites didn't go unnoticed. We called them the

  704. widows mites. To some that seems insignificant. The noise of

  705. that offering seems insignificant. It seems without magnitude, doesn't it

  706. doesn't It seem like a little thing sometimes. But why

  707. is it such a hard thing to come to the

  708. altar and say, you know what I have to forgive.

  709. I had to forgive my enemy, I had to forgive myself,

  710. and I need to pray in church, we're gonna have

  711. an ultra service before we dismiss or going to the

  712. other parts of this service today. Why is it that

  713. you rare up and start pointing fingers?

  714. Adam?

  715. And Eve did the same thing. Why is it always

  716. somebody else's fault without me having to ask? I would

  717. love to see somebody really pray through after this morning's

  718. service and tonight's service. I would love to see somebody

  719. really say, you know, like David put it Lord against THEE,

  720. and THEE only have I sinned. I'm gonna say this

  721. that brother, you're pointing fingers at that, sister you're pointing

  722. fingers at You're not gonna be able to do that

  723. when you stand before Jesus. Some of you have mastered

  724. the art of distraction and diversion. Brother Jesse, you got

  725. five now for boys and a girl. I'm sure by

  726. now you've learned that some of your boys, when you

  727. go to correct them, they immediately point out something someone

  728. else has done that does not take away the offense

  729. or the sin that they have committed against the household

  730. or their heavenly Father. And this is what I want

  731. to petition you for tonight. Honesty. Sister Cheryl Harrison was

  732. an honest person. I will tell you one time I

  733. come down her row. It's probably been fifteen years ago,

  734. and by revelation, God had spoke to me about something

  735. in her life. Out of respect to her, I've never

  736. told what it was. I will never tell what it was.

  737. She had been saved very long. I come down her

  738. row and I preached it at the service a foolish person.

  739. You know, there's always some people You get on to

  740. them and immediately they want to go to somebody else

  741. and love on them and hug on them. And I

  742. taught you, Mama, years ago, if I disciplined my kids,

  743. don't you go to them and hug on them and

  744. love on them.

  745. Are y'all with me?

  746. But I preach something, And Sister Cheryl, she repented and

  747. she prayed it through and I'll talk to her about

  748. it in heaven, and we have talked about it.

  749. And she said.

  750. Somebody went by her and said, you know, not that

  751. anybody questions anything I preach here, Really to be honest

  752. with you, not that anybody gives me problems or but

  753. that one particular person is no longer here. They said,

  754. why would brother Howell preach like that to all of us?

  755. He's preaching to the choir. Why would he preach to

  756. all of us good people and messages kind of like

  757. the message I'm preaching the seventy five people tonight.

  758. God sees the good, Praise the Lord, God sees the bad.

  759. Praise the Lord. Repent for sake, go and send no

  760. more so.

  761. Sister Cheryl, she told me, she said, that person come

  762. by and just started to talk a little gossip. Why

  763. would Brother Jeremy preach like that? This is a hole

  764. in this Pentecostal church? And she said, after two or

  765. three minutes of getting worked up again, that person no

  766. longer tends here. Sister Cheryl looked at them, in them

  767. one liners that she could speak, she said, would it

  768. help you if you knew I'm the one that was

  769. guilty that he was preaching too? It was my secret sin,

  770. it was my covered sin, It was my hidden sin.

  771. And I tell you, Brother Nathaniel, I never felt the

  772. need to preach to her about that again. Fifteen and

  773. a half years later, Now how about it with you.

  774. Fifteen years from now, will I be able to say

  775. they came to the altar and prayed it through Blessed

  776. is he whose sins is covered by the blood.

  777. Amen. I wonder could we stand tonight.

  778. Just because I've stopped preaching hard doesn't mean you shouldn't

  779. pray hard. And I want to say it again. Everything

  780. is in full exposure, and I want to say this

  781. once again. He can see multi layers. And one time

  782. Sarah told Jesus and her husband. I didn't laugh.

  783. I didn't do it. It was last night.

  784. That the Lord dealt with me to talk to this

  785. people in the near future about this trend within holiness

  786. of Pentecostal churches here and there, about the younger generation

  787. and some others just constantly lie a lying spirit, a

  788. line spirit. You're a dope class Sunday school teacher. This

  789. morning hit that line spirit. Sister Howell knows that I

  790. talked to her for five minutes yesterday, something I don't

  791. normally do. I said, at some point tomorrow, I'm going

  792. to talk to this people about a line spirit. And

  793. I'd rather this altar had already been filled up with

  794. people that needed to pray. But now I'm going to

  795. get very plain, like the Lord did with Adam. You

  796. have a line spirit. There's seventy five people in this building.

  797. There's a couple of you. You have a line spirit.

  798. This is a beautiful church. A lot of the adults

  799. are full of the Holy ghosts, a lot of the

  800. people are sanctified, but I'm preaching to a couple of

  801. you here tonight before we have a K five graduation party,

  802. and I'm going to tell you you have got into

  803. such a habit of line and you don't realize the

  804. Bible said all liarers shall have their part of the

  805. lake of fire. And when you got to the place

  806. that you can look at a man of God or

  807. look at a preacher, and you've got to the place

  808. you've learned you can just tell a lie, just tell

  809. a lie. I'm gonna tell you when you're habitual liar

  810. and you just tell a lie, you just tell a line,

  811. You just tell a lie, and you constantly deceive and

  812. manipulate and constant just lie, lie, Lie. That's not the

  813. same thing as one person that tells one lie in five, ten, fifteen,

  814. twenty years and feels bad about it, kneels down in

  815. an altar in an altar service like we're hoping to

  816. have and pray and ask God to forgive them. But

  817. some of you have learned how to divert the heat

  818. by just telling a lie. And I'm going to tell

  819. you something, if you don't get delivered from that lion's spirit,

  820. all liarers shall have their part in the Lake of

  821. fire when you did do it, and you said you'd

  822. do it, and you do that repeatedly, and you've been

  823. doing it for years and years and years and years,

  824. and you've lied about it multiple times and multiple time

  825. just because you pointed something to somebody else has done.

  826. You've learned how to point at something somebody else has done.

  827. You've mastered the yard what somebody else has done. Well,

  828. Brother Nathaniel Well, Brother Jonathan Well, Brother Beaufort Well, one

  829. time you listen, what about the thousands of times that

  830. God's been knocking on your door and pointing at you

  831. and saying Hell's hot? And all liars shall have their

  832. part in the Lake of fire. If you're deceiving your husband,

  833. you're deceiving your wife, you're deceiving your kids, you're deceiving

  834. your siblings, you're deceiving your pastor you're lying. Your lying

  835. is gonna get you something you don't want. A lifetime

  836. sentence in the Lake of fire. That'll preach a lifetime

  837. sentence in the Lake of fire. You'll be serving a
