The Final Five Words (Go and sin no more) - Pastor J. D. Howell 4-26-2026

I would like to preach a message the Holy ghost

titled the Final five Words, Go and Sin no more.

Turn with me to the Book of Jeremiah. May I

direct your attention to the third chapter and the tenth verse.

Brother Nathaniel John chapter number eight and verse number eleven,

and Brother Jesse Proverbs chapter number twenty eight and verse

number thirteen. I appreciate the way the Holy ghosts moved tonight.

There is no doubt folks in this building experienced a

new beginning. I thank God for sweet forgiveness. I know

without a doubt God has forgiven sin. He's washed troubles

and sorrows away tonight. I know people are breathing easier.

Their load is a whole lot lighter. You can see

by their expressions on their faces that they are relieved

from the load of sin or the weight of other

people's sins. I praise the Lord for the way you

all prayed. Way y'all responded and prayed in these altars

for the last hour. And I'll be honest with you,

I'm tired in body, but I feel the need to

warn somebody and tell them after sweet forgiveness, there is

still a need to remember these final five words, go

and send no more brother Nathaniel John chapter number eight

and verse number eleven. My brother, she said, no man, Lord,

And Jesus said, unto her, neither do I condemn thee

Go and send no more, brother Jesse. Proverbs, chapter number

twenty eight, verse number thirteen. He that covereth his sins

shall not prosper, But whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall

have mercy. Can the church say amen to that? Praise

the Lord for the Master's mercy. Let's than for the

reading of our golden text, the Book of Jeremiah, the

third chapter and the tenth verse.

The Bible said.

And yet for all this, her treacherous sister Judah hath

not turned unto me with her whole heart, but fainly

saith the Lord read it with me. And yet for

all this, her treacherous sister Judah hath not turned unto

me with her whole heart, but fainly saith the Lord.

Heavenly Father, we love and we praise you. We thank

you for the opportunity to be in your house tonight.

We pray that you would anoint this thy people, set

a guard at their ears, and help them to hear

what the Spirit of God says unto the church tonight, Lord,

not of my words, but of your words. We pray

we put our trust in you, God. I pray that

you would anoint me, set a guard at my mouth,

and help me to say the things that you would

have me to say, nothing more or less. I pray

that these sayings would go below the shoulders, that they

would saturate our en tire being. Lord, may we hearken,

may we hear, and may we heed, and may we

depart this place joyfully and not sorrowfully. In Jesus' name,

in the church said Amen, as you're being seated, look

at your neighbor and say, hey, neighbor, are you in

the sinning business? Reply with us absolutely not. Amen, Thank

God for that. Our text is found in an Old

Testament book of the Holy Bible, the Book of Jeremiah.

The title of this book bears the name of its author.

A lot of people in this building are quite familiar

with the prophet Jeremiah. He is a favorite of the

members of the Bethel Holiness Church. He's not a favorite

of the Bethel Holiness Church because we have a great

Man of God in our minst that shares that name.

That is a reason for why we would recognize this

biblical care character in his name. But he is a

favorite of the Bethel hole in his church because we

relate to him, and a lot of times we feel

like God has spoken to us directly. When we hear

people preaching about this man. You will remember the manner

of his calling. His background is that of a priest.

We know that he was of a priestly lineage. He

was one that was very familiar with the writings of Moses.

In other words, he was somebody that was studious concerning

the laws of God. This was a man that knew

what ministry was all about. He understood the ceremonial sacrifices,

and he knew why the people of God were different

than the other people of this world. And he had

a strong grip on why the Jews did the things

that they he did. And I wish that a lot

of our young people and our holiness and Pentecostal movements

really fully understood why we do some of the things

we do and the reason for us doing some of

the things we do. We love to keep the commandments

of the Lord, and we do not find his commandments

to be grievous. I've never had to counsel any of

these elder brothers and sisters and them say to me

during that process that they dislike the commandments of God.

In fact, every one of them, at different times has

told me that the words of the Lord pleases them well.

Whether it's dues or don't.

They are okay with God telling them what to do

because they know God knows the frame of mankind. God

knows the nature of mankind. The Bible says, he remembers

our frame that we are but dust. Another scripture says

he knows what is inside of man. And because God

knows about that addamic nature, he knows very well how

to help keep us from the consequences of operating within

that sinful addamic nature. And so the prophet Jeremiah would

have been an instructor in the ways of God. Brother

Jesse very young, he received a commission and a call

from the Lord. It was a clarion call that demanded commitment.

When he realized that the Lord was demanding commitment, he

immediately offered the excuse that he was a youth, and

the Lord let him know, do not use that as

an excuse.

It does not matter how young you are.

I have called and commissioned you to help your brothers

and sisters. And unlike Caine, Jeremiah the prophet was willing

to be his brother's keeper. Brother Thomas Starrett, Brother Aaron Wood,

Brother Jesse Howan, of the Bible scholars in this building

tonight could tell you that the prophet Jeremiah sometimes seemed

to have been complaining about some of the task that

he had to undertake her or some of the messages

that he delivered. And he was not altogether against the

ministry or against the message of the Master. It was

he knew that when he spoke the words of truth,

he would be despised by his peers and contemporaries. Brother

Samuel Howean, brother Philip Howell could tell you that Jeremiah

was very familiar with the consequences of the ministry of Isaiah.

Both of those great men of God were considered to

be eight prophets of God, major prophets of the most

High in their day and hour. But they suffered because

they were ministers of the Master. And I know that

every preacher in this building tonight can relate to that. Also,

those that are keepers of the commandments and the words

of God. You can tell me that you do not

walk through this world unscathed. Sometimes you receive a verbal

slap in the face. Sometimes it's a smart, delic comment

from a family member or a coworker or what seems

to be a fellow laborer in ministry. You realize you're

being persecuted for the message. So this young prophet, regardless

of what he was going to face, he went ahead

and preached within the land of Judah, and for.

About forty years he labored.

Now, the prophet Jeremiah had told them that a great

emperor would come and pummel the people of God into power,

so to speak. He would destroy their land and their cities,

and their cattle and their people, and take a lot

of them away and put them in an exile.

In the land of Babylon.

And we know how the prophet Isaiah preached to the

people of Jerusalem.

We know how he preached to the people of Israel.

But this priest turned prophet Jeremiah, began to preach to

that lesser tribe, the tribe of Judah, which constituted two

tribes of Isram and brother Caleb.

Dearing his extensive ministry.

He pointed them to the sins of the other nation,

and he tried to bring it to their attention that

they did it to wrong way. And because they did

it to wrong way, they did.

Not bye with him.

Now in the Red Back Church of God, hymn, Now

there is a song that goes like this, you cannot

do wrong and get by, no matter how hard you try.

And so the propet Jeremiah would let them know these things,

and he carried a birden for those to whom he ministered.

To many they would say, there is no doubt this

man who loves us. There's no doubt this man carries

the weight of the world upon his shoulders on a

daily basism. And some could say, to some up his

message it is a clarion call for repentance, or a

clarion call for commitment in their relationship between them and

their God. And so Jeremiah done just exactly like the

preacher's done. Last week, Philip preached on continually a Christian.

He talked about how Daniel lived within the Empire of

Babylon during the reign of three or four different emperors,

and how in every kingdom this man was faithful to God. Now,

when Jeremiah is preaching to the people of the nation

of Judah, who are supposed to be the cheering of God,

he cannot say they've been faithful. He cannot say to Daniel,

who's living in this region at this time, that you

live amongst people that are faithful to God. And so

Daniel and some mothers, eventually they get removed from the

land of Judah and carried away just like the prophet

Jeremiah said what happen to them? And jeremied propheside how

they would spend seventy long years in captivity. And Daniel

himself he did not bucker against the ministry or the

message of the prophet Jeremiah, even though he had his

owner message and ministry in the realm of Babylon. He

acknowledged what Jeremiah had said. When Jeremiah was telling them,

you know what the other ten tribes of Israel tried

to do, and you know they did not get by

with it. I'll tell you why, sister Iris whooting him,

Brother Nathaniel, howell worship God in spirit and in truth tonight.

There's two possible reasons for that. The first of them

being up they love God, and they love his commandments. Secondly,

they are probably been our witnesses to the consequences of the.

Wrong doers and doing the wrong things.

And so Jeremiah the prophet was not impressed by his

fellow mans and outward display of religion. Truly, their living

on real estate that had been primised to them by God.

It was real estate that had been wished for and

prayed over by the Abraham that they all adored. There

were patriarchs that knew God would give that land to

those people. But because their eyes were on the things

of the other nations, and they participated in Paguean practices,

and they also committed idolatry, which God perceived as an

adulterous affair in their relationship. What I'm saying here tonight

is Jeremiah would not pack to them on the back

and say well done, thou, good and faithful servants of

God when they had been unfaithful.

There's not a spousal.

In this building tonight that would appreciate ear the faithfulness

come on in these verses and we see the Jeremiah's

telling them they did it to their way, and they're

paying the price and for it.

When you look at our golden text and.

You can see the Jeremiah's comparing Israel and Judah, the

call of these both nations and had been one her

repentance and brother hysterical reason why judgment came, it's because

they were making an insincere repentance. I was praying this afternoon,

and we all know we got out of church late

this afternoon, and I went to a restaurant here in town,

and some sisters in this building were there. They saw

me walk in and an hour later walk out. I

had about thirty minutes and at the house to put

my mind on the Lord, and God spoke into my heart.

It is an illusion, I said, God, do you want

me to preach on that his actor title? He said, no,

preach ona the final five words? I said, God, what

sentence in the Bible that has five words? The finality

of those five words? And must he mighty significant for

you to put this on my heart. It's such a

short space of time. And I heard somewhere in the

corner and the recesses of my soul go and sin

no more. And that's what your Maaiah, the weeping profit

was trying to tell Judah. Yes, you made a mistake. Yes,

you been unfaithful, Yes, sir, oh yes, but if God is.

To forgive you, you ought to sin no more.

People today want us to be okay where their sinful lifestyle.

They want us to embrace it and to tolerated. They

come into our places of business and demand service.

We remember years ago.

A Christian maker refused to make a banke good for

a homosexual couple, and when that homosexual got down with him,

they are just about ruined that Christian family's business. I

want you to know that the Lord of Heaven and

his messengers will never back down to your persecution. They

will never join your pity parties, and they will never

tone down your message. I'm telling you, when God gives

them your message and God's sister preaching, we can have

the prettiest one hundred percent of pure vanilla great a blue.

Ribbon altar service. Prior to the preation.

Some can get saved, some can be born again, some

can be walking in newness of life and spirit that

God can tell them. Men, you just go ahead and

preach that message that I told you.

The preaching. There is no doubt off that Daniel was

gonna serve.

God whether in Judah or in Babylon, there's no death.

Sister Teresa Wallace is gonna serve God anyway that. I

want to talk to somebody tonight. When you have prayed,

you will be differct. Thirty minutes later, you'll be different to.

Three days later, you'll be different to. Thirty days later,

you'll be differct. Three months later, you'll be different, three

years later, and you'll still be different thirty years later.

I'm telling you here the night, don't let it be

in a losion.

Oh my Godd, pray through that's sin. I feel like

saying it again.

It was a call to both nations that were chock

full of God's people to repentance. The message of Jesus

and John the Baptist were the same. They were messages

of repentance. This generation knows nothing of penitence. They know

nothing of sincere repentance. I was thinking about that woman

that was caught in the act of adultery. I said, God,

we don't have a name. Brother Nathaniel, have you seen

her name in.

The Bible anywhere?

Brother Caleb, I've taught you too how to search the

scriptures and look for contents, because sometimes one gospel author

has a little different information than another. Have y'all ever

seen it? In there where her name is given. I

was a praying very shortly, to be honest with you,

and God just began to pour it into me. I said, God,

I'd like to give my sister a nickname? He said,

what is it? In my spirit? I could tell I

knew he knew, but he wanted me to go ahead

and say it. I said, sister Sincere. I'd like to

refer to her tonight as sister Sincerity. The difference in

these two sisters that Jeremiah's talking about in our text,

it's a tale of two sisters, Judah and Israel.

Neither one of these sisters are sincere.

But I want you to know on the flip side

of that, when you look at this adulterous woman turned

holy woman when Jesus spoke to her, there must have

been a change in her. And nowhere do you find

her copping an attitude and saying I will continue in sin.

Apostle Paul said, shall we continue in sin? That grace

may abound? God forbid a thousand times? No, you should

not continue, he said, And if you're a new creature,

you will not continue in sin. I'm gonna say it again,

Jeremiah the Prophet was not impressed by his fellow men's

outward display of religion. Their edifices, their temples, their tabernacles,

their churches do not impress me. I'd rather have a

handful of genuine people in a storefront church, or in

a living room, or in a little country church where

the ain't barely pay the bills and keep the lights

on because of how costly Caesar has it for us

to operate conduct service. I'd rather be in a place

and amongst people like that than to be in a beautiful, beautiful,

shine and spectacular edifice that's speaking.

To the world.

This is the dwelling place of God. I don't care

what's on the Marquis. I see it on Marquis Church

of Christ. I see it on the Marquis Church of God.

I see it on the Marquis Holiness Church. I see

it on the Marquis Church of God of Prophecy. I

see it on the Marquis Assembly. Are y'all listening to me?

What's on the Marquis is not indicative of what is

on the inside of the building, Nor does it indicate

to us what is inside the individual's heart.

Come on, I want to preach to you.

I know you've already prayed, and I know some of

you have made sincere repentance to God. But Israel and Judah,

we're receiving a call to repent. When Jesus full of

mercy and compassion called them and he said, turn away

from your sin, turn you away from your unfaithfulness, they would.

Not turn from their sin.

I heard a lot of young preachers years ago telling people,

you need to make three hundred and sixty degree turn

a three hundred.

And sixty degree rotation.

Me being in good in geometry, me being in engineering,

me being a number man. I got up behind them

and said, I know what you guys are saying. That

we're not looking for a three hundred and sixty degree turner.

He'd be facing her in the same direction when you

stood up from the altar.

What we need is a one hundred and eighty the

great turn.

And I'm telling you, if these altars were fruit put

a night, there will be a one hundred and eighty

de great turn.

I said, there.

Will be fruits of repectance, and there will be evidences

of salvation. If that man plows off the handle tomorrow,

he's not a new creature. If that man sneaks around tomorrow,

he's not a new creature.

It's an illusion.

Her Golden text said they were doing it vainly pretending.

Paul told Timothy, he said something about Grandma and Mama

is ringing in my soul right now. They were faithful,

he said, the unfeigned faith of Unissi and lois your

grandmama and your mama, the unfeigned faith. When them women

come in, they had been walking like angels. They had

been singing like angels. They have been praying like angels.

They had been Christians, they had been christ Like. Come on,

I'm telling you, I'm gonna say it again. You won't

pray like an angel. You won't shout and dance like

an angel on Sunday and act like the devil Monday

through Saturday. If you are a creature, Jesus Christ. If

you are a creation inn, Jesus Christ. If you are

a creature or a creation inn, Jesus Christ, you will

be as He has molded you. So when mercy he

wrecked the life of a weeping prophet, he runt the

life of a weeping prophet who also at times seemingly

complained about why he had to do what he had

to do because he knew when I preached this one,

they're gonna persecute me. He didn't altogether know the outcome.

He didn't know to what extremes they would go. But

I can tell you you all know because you're on

this side of it. He got put in a my repent,

he got somewhat starved. False prophets hated him, contemporaries despised him,

he got smacked around, Royalty despised him, Kings and princess

hated him. They hated his guts. Does that sound like

something you want to sign up for, Jesse? Do you

want to sign up as spiritual ambassador to hate Tea tomorrow,

Brother Tyler? The same things that happened to the prophet

Jeremiah will happen to you in the land of Haiti,

Brother Rocat. Do you want to sign up as spiritual

ambassador to Afghanistan tomorrow? It's unlikely, and if God was

to call you the service an act of spiritual duty

over there, you would probably offer the same complaints and

excuses that Jeremiah did. But Jeremiah went ahead and preached

the truth in love. I have said it for years.

I will not preach inward or outward standards unless I

have soiled my notes with tears. I said it twenty

years ago. I will not preach mean holiness. I will

not be a mean example of what a Christian is

to be. But I do know the difference in phony

and genuine. Brother Nathaniel said in the South, say genuine

versus genuine, And that is the truth. We know the

difference in real bloging and phony blooning. We know the

difference between real crab meat and imitation crab. Me.

Come on, I'm telling you.

We know the difference of in real confessions and counterfeit confessions.

I don't care a tang in the world about your

hour appearance.

I don't caretang in the world about your religious hour display.

What I want you to do is show me your

faith by your actions and work, so that you are

a new creature.

In Christ Jesus with mercy.

He called for them to turn away. Turn away from

your sin, turn away from your mistakes, turn away from

your unfaithfulness. Look at your neighbor and say, hey, neighborn

away from that, and Israel was chasten by the chasting

wrod of God for their rebellion and stubbornness. Judah witnessed

what one would have thought would have been a great

lesson when she saw Jerusalem suffer the way she did,

but she did not live and learn. I have a

saying that we should all live and learn. We should

live in life and learn the lessons of life. The

truth is, there's none of us born with such understanding

that we are past making mistakes. But I will tell

you this, as a child of God. When you are

born again, the Book of God will become your favorite

literary work. It will become more than a road map.

It will be a.

God map, and it will lead and guide you into

all truths.

And your mista will.

Be fewer and farther in between if you keep your

face in this book and not Facebook. So Judah just

does not want to learn. And the Bible said, when

it comes to preaching and instruction in the House of God,

you rebuke that one before all that others may learn.

And so Jeremiah's pointing at the example. Isaiah had told

Jerusalem it's gonna happen. He had told Israel it's gonna happen,

and you know what it happened. I know y'all were out,

and I know this is an anti climatic sermon to

follow such a wonderful, beautiful time of new beginnings. But

I know God is speaking of some people in this building,

and these altars are about to be open again for

everybody to experience what others experienced. But Brother Nathaniel even

know Judah had witnessed the nation of Israel fall by

the wayside because of their wrongdoing. Rather than turning to God,

she didn't turn back to God, and she didn't learn.

She didn't turn and she didn't learn. And sins to

how that's something else that resonated in my heart about

an hour before church tonight. She didn't turn and she

didn't learn. Now, this morning's service was full of examples

of people that did it the wrong way and suffered

horrible consequences. And we heard what the Holy Ghost spoke

to us through our sister, how a woman that appeared

to be living right for many years got to a

point where she was screaming incessantly, my feet are.

On fire, My feet are on fire. My feet are

on fire.

How does somebody get in such shape as that insincere

and so outwardly Jeremiah's preaching. The people that are going

through the motions, they got the mechanics, they got the

mannerisms right, and they got the motions, and Brother Jesse,

they got a form, but they deny the power thereof.

You know, the power of sanctification is very special. The

power of sanctification is very special. Do you know a

lot of churches have lost the understanding and the value

of sanctification. That Bethel has been built on a sanctified

experience and keeping ourselves unspotted from the world. So this

sister Judah, she should have turned look at our golden text.

And yet for.

All her treacherous and after all of this, her sister

Judah hath not turned unto me with her whole heart,

but faintly saith the Lord. Sister woot And sometimes we

think this is new Church of eighty a couple of

people pretending we think this is something new. How about

an entire nation being a circus of clowns before their creator?

How about an entire nation pretending to be sincere in

their repentance to the Lord. She didn't turn into God,

She just went through the motions. Judah was doing enough

to fool others. The Bible used the word fainly. What

she did was in falsehood. She was being deceitful. Her

active repentance was a sham. I was praying about this

message and concerning some people that have somewhat persecuted genuine believers,

and I said, God, it seems to me like they're

just like some of these genuine believers. Outwardly, they had

the appearance that they're God fearing people. They even used

the titles of penticles and holiness. And I heard the

Lord say, it's a sham. It's a sham whenever people

can gather under one roof in the name of the Lord,

and some, rather than depart from iniquity, they run into iniquity.

It's a sham of an experience. When people can say

I'm sanctified, holiness, blood ball, and set apart as to howl,

but they cannot cease from sin, it's a sham. It's

a sham and a shame when a church can go

from running one hundred to eighty to seventy five to

seventy to sixty to fifty five to fifty and the

only reason why they have a dozen present is because

there's a few seemingly rejects from the troll factory who

are also hide in secret sins, those that are covering

things that should be uncovered, those that have things that

are more vile than what Achan had hidden in the

floor of his tent. But they want their opportunity to perform.

They want their opportunity to pray loudly. They want their

opportunity to preach in their pulpits. They want their opportunity

to pluck the strings on their instruments. They pray to

be seen of men, they seem to be heard of men.

They're not interested in preaching or quote performing on their platforms,

a semi attractor, trailers in the streets. They're not interested

in open air outreach or evangelism. They're just like Judah.

They'd rather come into what's supposed to be a house

of God. They're supposed to have something going on, and

they come in there and they look around, and they.

Blame it on the devil.

They blame the church falling apart on the imps of health.

They blame it on the spirits of the Emperor of

Hell himself. Lucifer and nobody ever points the finger at

themselves and say we never repent it. We never humbled

ourself and prayed. We never asked God to turn us

from our sin. We never petitioned God and asked him

to send the healing, revible reigns that would heal our

lands and bless our fruit where our tree could be fruitful.

I'm nobody's judge, but I would tell you better, Holiness Church,

and I taught you this morning not to put your

trust in men.

I appointed you to God. But as long as I'm.

Your pastor here, and I believe that will be for

a while longer, and we will put our trust in God.

We will put our trust in the words of God.

And if God said in black, red and white, it

is a sin, it is a transgression, it is ade

and a daughter. It is just that it's not up

for decision, it's not up for grabs.

It is plain and simply that it is a dear hell,

a dolt.

And yet for all this, her treacherous sister Judah hath

not turned under me with her whole heart, but faintly

saith the Lord. So I guess they felt like they

were fooling the preachers. They could point the finger at

the preacher, they could put the preacher in prison.

But God was not fooled.

The fool has said in his heart there is no God,

and the fool it has said in his heart there

is no God. Watching the Bible said, behold, the eyes

of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil

and the good. To the Christian, that's very comforting to

know that the Lord is looking upon your good. It's

very comforting to know that the Lord is looking upon

your dedication, commitment, and devotion and your faithfulness. But he's

also looking at the evil that is done. She didn't

turn from her sin unto God. I wonder why we

lost our shower about ten minutes ago.

I'm gonna tell you something.

Hell's going to be hot for those that went to

dysfunctional assemblies, local churches and gatherings just because in their

dysfunctional manner they wanted to plunk a C, F and

G chord and be heard and sing their song. You'd

be better off singing your song in the shower and

not to the saints, and be in a functional church

where you can keep what you've got, because what you

have right now won't be with you very long if

you're in a dysfunctional church. Amen, she didn't turn into God,

she did not turn unto God. Brother Jesse sings a

song about making the turn. And there's some people in

this building and those that will be listening up coming days. Listen,

your repentance has been one that you've done faintly. It's

a sham. How many times we witnessed this in Pentecost

and holiness churches. The old timers used these phrases. It's

crocodile tears, it's not sincere prayer. They say, it's nothing,

it's phony, blooney, it's not true. Its manipulation and its

deception at its best. Come on. We have seen many

offer their half hearted repentances. I've seen them offer their

hollow hallelujahs. I've seen them offer their hollowed herald praises.

Half hearted, half hearted. That's what was going on in

various parts of the world recently. I heard there was

supposedly an end time revival going on here and there,

and I inquired of a particular brother in that area,

and I said, what's going on? He said, I went

to see. I said, was that wisdom? He said, probably not.

I said, well, are there fruits meat for repentance? Is

there the outward manifestations and the marks of a true conversion?

Has God done something great in these last days? He said, Brother, Howell,

there is nothing whatsoever to show for that revival. Three

weeks later, we've seen them attempt to ful many, Sister Rachel,

while knowing God was not anyone's fool. Every person who

has attended church services understands that a person must be

sincere in their repentance if they are to be forgiven

by the Lord. And if they are sincere, they fully

intend to forsake their sin and their lifestyle and turn

from their sin and to the Lord. There is a

change of heart, there is a change of mindset, and

there is a change of nature. And Judah had not

turned loose of her sins. And Sister, how it was

like to setting it. I could just see somebody's knuckles

white as they hold on to their dysfunctional church, as

they hold on to their little singing opportunity, as they

hold on to their little instrument, as they hold on

to their identity, as they hold on to their outward appearance,

as they hold on to whatever it is they've got,

but they know they're not passionate in their love for

the Lord. They know their heart's not where it used

to be in the Lord. And Brother Samuel Howell told

me this afternoon, he said, Pastor, and when you explain

to us the way God and his goodness, his mercy,

his compassion and grace would visit King Saul, he said,

But yet Saul wouldn't turn from his sin. And because

God would bless saw at times, it did not mean

that God approved of Saul's misdeeds and misdoings and horrible actions.

And there's some that would leave out of this building

tonight and say well, I saw sister Teresa Wallace pray good.

I saw this little girl over here pray good. I

heard Brother Buford over there crying out to God. I

saw him pray good. I saw about a dozen people

really pray good tonight. Be some sister witness say well,

didn't we have a.

Great move of God? Yes we did, But did you.

Did you have a heart mind, life changing experience tonight?

One thing I asked God when I started preaching, I said,

don't let their tears fool me. I have seen people

stand up and begin testifying and they turned the tears

on as easy as somebody turns on the water spicket.

I've seen them change the tone of their voice and

get plumb, whimpy and whiny, and I could tell it

was a put on. They raised their voice, the tone

of their voices three or four octave, seemingly, and when

they sit down, there was no passion, no strong emotion,

No thank you Jesus, no glory to God, no howelujah.

I've learned people have learned how to have touch. People

have learned how to have a form. They've learned how to.

Have a position. They've learned how to have prestige.

They've learned how to manipulate their way in the platforms,

in the instrument positions of playing instruments.

There's some that.

Would rather stand on the platform and pluck a guitar

than pray.

Things through it and altar. Turn loose of your sin.

People want a name, but they don't want to change.

They want some of God, but they desire to continue sinning.

In John chapter number eight, we read of that adulterous

cult in the act of adultery. After the Lord Jesus

rescued her from her accusers, he spoke some strong the words,

some directly to her. May I paarapraise them. Don't go

from here sinning. Don't go all sinning. Can I say

it in country boy talk, don't go all sitting when

you walk out of this place tonight. Man, you'll talk

to your wife in a sweet way. Wife, you'll talk

to your husband in a sweet way. Brother Peter Graham

told the members of the Poor Gospel Church in Verona, Virginia.

Year after year I witnessed him doing it. He said, up,

that must a holy GHOSTA. You'll be sweet after this

service tonight. And I want you to know the Holy

GHOSTA is still sweet. He's as sweet now as he

was then. John Chapter number eight and eleven. Jesus said,

unto her, neither do I condemn thee go and send

no more. Listen, the adulterous woman, sister Sincerity, and her

in sincere accusers were all sinners at that very moment.

And you know what she deserved to die.

And there's some of you you can tell me about

life experiences when you weren't living right, and you could

say I could have died lost and undone with God

just a couple of months before I sold out to

the Lord. I had a horrible accident at about six

o'clock in the morning on State Road thirty seven. I

should have died. I want you to know that sister's sincerity.

She could go around telling people I should have died

that day. I've heard people in this building saying if

I had died that day, I would be in.

Hell right now.

I don't need to feel an ounce of the power

of God in a service to prompt me to praise him.

All I've got to do is mind myself of what

sister Sincerity knew.

I could have died that day, and if.

It wasn't for Jesus, she could have died that day

in her sin. But Jesus passed by. I said, Jesus

passed by, and our merciful Master come to her rescue,

and he rescued her of her accuser.

I'm telling you here tonight we could have another.

Camp meeting service in this place if we would just

state God that we did not die that day the

death Angel came looking for us.

I could have died that day.

There could be a wooden cross alongside State Road thirty

seven near the Brewstering Waterhole. The brewstering waterhole. It was

a bar out in the middle of nowhere. I wasn't

going to go to the bar. I had no interest

in being at the bar. But I could have died

in front of the bar because I had a horrible accident,

had to break a day in front of the bar.

I'm glad there's not a cross of a bastling boy

outside of the bar.

Tonight with somebody, You're to hell, I said, that could

have been the gateway of hell for me. Thank God.

Not one stone was laid upon her brow. Thank God.

Then came Jesus, I said, thank God. Then came Jesus.

You could have died, but you did not die that day.

Thank God. I sat taker God, you did not die

that day. Jesus passed by. They brought her before him,

cast her down. What are we to do with this

peace of trash? What are we to do with this refuge?

What are we to do with this garbage? As they

begin to pick up boulders, rocks, and they're going to

execute her, and brother Philip, Jesus our master stooped and

began to ride in the soil. And you know what

the Bible said, from the oldest to the youngest. Is

that what it said, from the wisest to the least. Wise,

they begin to walk around, and then they walked away,

and brother just said they'd left her in their wake.

Had to feed Esu.

What a wonderful place to leave somebody had to feed

a Jesus. I believe Jesus. Down there where she had

been left alone with Jesus. He looked her in the

eye and said, woman, where are thine accusers? She said, well, Lord,

now that you mention it, there's not one right here.

And Jesus said, neither do I accuse ee? Come on now,

and these are these five words God put on my heart.

It seems anti climatic after Jesus has rescued a woman

from her sin, after forgiveness himself personified, has forgiven such

a great atrocity. I'm telling you, it seems so anti climatic.

But Jesus tells her straightly, go and sin no more.

I wonder if those religious leaders that had that outward demonstration,

that had the outward garments and the form, I wonder

if they were just circling kind of big intending to

do a three hundred and sixty degree I was praying

about that seemed like the Lord brought it to my attention.

And I believe it's quite possible that whenever Jesus and

the woman walked away, they were gonna walk over there

and try to cover up what the Lord had wrote

in the ground, because he didn't want everybody knowing what

Jesus had wrote in the ground, possibly about him. I

want you to know the Bible said he that covered

his sins shall not prosper. But who's so rover confessorth

to have forsaken to shall find mercy. The accusers worry

to cover it up, but the daughterss could not cover

it up, but it was uncovered. Who went away forgiving

that day? I said, who went away forgiving that day? That?

Sincere woman that had to own upper to her said,

why would they want to cover it up so that

they might not prosper? Inny things concerning the God, the

self righteous hypocrites and religious leaders were out there somewhere

licking their wounds, but not sorry for their sins. In fact,

they were ploting, scheming and conniving on how they could

get Jesus back for what he had just did.

And since the how after a.

Beautiful day of services it could be without a doubt.

I'd love to have culvers with new converts and people

whose burdens have been rolled away. Lord, I'd love to

have some ice cream at covers at their church tonight

with people that could say, my load is lighter, the

world looks more beautiful. I'm telling you, I feel so

free as a bird. But since the how what if

there's somebody right now licking their wounds? You know, my

family members may be making it right, but I have

no intention on doing so. And I'm gonna say it again.

He that covereth his sins shall not prosper. But whosoever

confess to them, not to Jeremy Howell, Jeremiah wasn't asking

the Israelites to confess to him. Confess to God. It's

more to rocking your shoulders and faint and a cry

and a prayer. I raised six kids. I knew who

couldn't fake a cry, and I know who could fake

a cry. In fact, there were times that I saw

them when they were playing fake cries, and I gained

the knowledge that they had been fake crying for a

while and manipulating me. I walked around the corner one

time and saw one of my sons doing something, and

brother Caleb had sounded so real I thought they had

been hurt. And they shut up and looked at their

sibling and went into rage and then into laughing, and

I knew, right then, this is pretending at its finest.

This is a clown act. Listen, this is a church.

It is not a circus. And I don't care what

church leaders in the so called a Holiness and Pentecostal

movements pat people on the back that commit the sin

of plagiarism and get up and try to tell people

they felt God all over, they felt the presence of

God on them so strong to get up and read

for ten minutes word for word what another man had

preached of a different faith or a different denomination. That's plagiarism,

that's pitiful, that's disgusting any man who's been preaching any

link to time. I to be able to preach at

the drop of a hat for at least fifteen minutes

any day of the week, any hour, any moment, at

the Holy Ghost's present, you will open your mouth why

and he will feel it. And I'm telling you there's

a whole lot of phony belonging going on out there.

It should never be said that a holiness preacher that

speaks against the phoniness has run his ministry. But you

know what Jeremiah would say, I preached against the phoniness

and they tried to run by ministry. I need to

pray in church right here. I didn't even know how

I'd be able to get through this tonight. It's been

a good day, it's been a long day too. And

I'm trying not to put a half hearted effort into this.

And I don't want you putting a half hearted repentance

into this. If you are a past feeling, you've got

a major issue. If your past feeling broken when the

Holy Ghost moves the way he did an hour ago,

you've got a major issue. And there's some things that

will not be rich without prayering, fasting. And the choice

is yours refused to pray and refuse to fast. And

as the old timers used to say, we're hesitant to

say it, but you'll bust tell wide open, y'all remember

them phrases from the old Saints of God. You'll bust

tell wide open, You'll go to Hell on a hand basket.

Back when preachers didn't pull any punches back when they

gave it everything they had people, they broke, and they prayed.

But the self righteous hypocrites, the religious leaders were out

there licking their wounds. I gotta figure out how to

get Brother Roquat back because he exposed my sin in

that Sunday school lesson. I got to figure out how

to get Brother Jesse back because when he was testifying,

Pastor had him say something before Pastor preach. Brother Jessey

got me. You never build yourself up by plotting the

downfall of someone else. Why are you looking for a

way to strike back, Because if you're doing that, you're

a serpent. But the woman stood there with Jesus and

she had no desire to go back to her previous lifestyle.

I believe that. I believe as to how that Jesus

recognized something in her expression and the five words go

and sin no more. That's how he ended it. I

want everybody to get quiet for just a second now,

after all of the accusations have been hurled, after all

the violent screaming, after the rage by the Pharisees Sadducees

religious leaders who are screaming death to the woman that's

been called in the act after the wolf pack mentality

has subsided, after Jesus has diffused the situation and ran

off the insincere penitent accusers. He's standing there with what

was the guilty, guiltiest charge, and it gets just this

quiet right here. We're not ending with a bass thumping.

We're not ending with a guitar whaling. We're not ending

with a song. As long as I got King Jesus,

I don't need somebody else. We're not ending like we

do on our Friday nights of our Pentecostal meetings on

a high note.

I want to get the symmegery straight.

Brother Nathaniel, stand right there, please, my brother, there'll be

a make believe sister sincerity right there. Pick her up, please,

it's quiet, and say what he said to her.

Woman.

There was no pastoral counsel, no rehabilitation classes, no recovering

attict classes, know how to break your habit classes.

He put the monkey on her back.

Woman, wear your accluser, accusers, and then his final words

is go and said no more, hold up one finger,

go and sin no more. I'm preaching the message the

Holy Ghost titled The Finality of Five Words thirty three

years ago he met your daddy in an altar. I

got gloriously saved, changed my mindset, he changed my heart.

He saved me just in time. I'm gonna praise his name.

He's every day the same. Look what the Lord has done.

But in my heart I heard them same words, go

and sin no more. Now come tomorrow morning's light. You're

tempting to do the same things you've been doing. It

was an illusion. It was an insincere repentance. And I

feel the Holy ghost that woman walked away on a somber,

sober thought that would haunt her in a good way

the rest of her life. She didn't walk away, sister,

how with this thought I'm forgiving. She went away with

this thought, go and send no more. Years ago, one

of my sons did something that most people wouldn't consider

to be a horrible thing. And after praying and seeking

the Lord, I decided to approach them and to address

it sweetly but with authority. And they know when I

address it, I mean business, and I speak as a fool.

I'm a nobody. I understand that. But I told them,

I said, you've done this, and they started to maybe

make some excuses or offer some things and throw a

smokescreen and cloudy and murky the waters. Listen, there's no

need for that. And just before I would press to judgment,

they said these words with the most blessed assurance I've

ever seen or felt. They said, listen that I will

never do it again. And I said, I believe you.

And they never did it again. There was something about

the way they said it. I knew they would never

do it again. Now, the fact that the Holy Ghost

has raised a red flag right in the middle of

one of the most beautiful forgiveness altar services in our history,

that I too myself experienced something wonderful right here. I

will say, as the pastor, let me run up the

jolly roger, let me fly the skull and bones and

tell somebody that's the old nature. And we need to

tear that jolly roger down, and we need to bring

it to the grave, and we need to raise up

the white flag of surrender.

So I don't know.

In One Corinthians, chapter number fifteen and verse number thirty four,

it says, awake to righteousness.

And sin not.

Now. What we experienced about an hour before the preaching

tonight was people praying for salvation and for forgiveness. And

in the fifteenth chapter of Luke's Gospel, Luke said, Jesus

put it to us this way, there is joy in

the presence of God's angels over one sinner that repents.

That is a sincere repentance, that is a go and

sin no more repentance in minds. So I ask the

precious saints of God, who are just as worri out

as I am, to please stand with me tonight. I'm

going to give the musicians a break, and we're going

to end with an anti climatic tone and message. The

proof will be in the pudding in a couple of days.

The proof will be in the putting in two hours time.

I believe I just heard the voice of the Lord

speak in the same way he did earlier today, but

an hour before church started.

Get a double yeah.

I say to my people, look for the brokenness, look

for the tears, and look for the change.

For Ay, the Lord make all things new.

I bring newness of mindset newness of life.

I bring forth new creations.

Yeay, I say to my people, look for newness of life,

look for new beginning. If there's no new beginning, there

is no newness of life.

Saith the Lord.

Heymen, Amen, these altars are open. What a way to

end a beautiful service, I know, ask Jesus about it.

Go and sin no more.

The elder of our church, brother Richard Jacob, shouldn't be

the first one to come to these altars.

Young people.

Now, to those of you that have experienced something today

and tonight like you can't explain, just go ahead and

thank the Lord that when you should have died there,

you didn't. Sister Sincerity could have said I should have

died there that day, but she didn't. God gave her

second chance. He's a god of new beginnings and a

god of second chances.
