  1. I am not going to preach sermon tonight. I'm not

  2. going in here.

  3. I am going to say this that years ago, there

  4. was an elderly Baptist preacher, old Baptist preacher by the

  5. name of Robert Greenlee R G Lee. R g Lee

  6. pastored for forever. R g Lee was bold. He was

  7. a Baptist, but he was a very bold man. He's

  8. a man that preached the revival in the church. And

  9. when the pastor said, brother Lee, what do you think

  10. my church really needs? He said, about two or three

  11. good funerals would probably fix it. But for every every

  12. Easter Sunday, for years and years and years, R. G

  13. Lee preached the same message. He preached a message called

  14. Payday Someday. I've read it, and I've heard him preach it.

  15. I've listened to it on tape him preaching it.

  16. And R.

  17. G Lee really kept stressing that payday And wouldn't it

  18. be sad that for a Christian, for a child of God,

  19. for a child of the King, for blood bought, sanctified

  20. holy goldes feel a child to think that the blessing

  21. of the Lord is always something that's someday, someday I'll

  22. get help. Some day it'll be over. Someday I'll get

  23. over this. Someday I'll receive the Holy Gold. Someday I'll

  24. receive sanctification. Someday I'll see the blessings come. Now. I

  25. say that, if it's not been proved to you yet,

  26. if it's not been proven to you yet here at Bethel,

  27. pay day is not someday. Pay day is every day,

  28. every day that I live. I am blessed. When I

  29. wake up in the morning, till a lame MyD rest,

  30. I am blessed.

  31. I am blessed. Amen.

  32. I don't know who wrote that song, but I don't

  33. know why they They went to such a low common

  34. denominator that said, I have shoes on my feet. Not

  35. all God, please me, that's all amen. But I do

  36. have a home up in heaven.

  37. Bye and bye. And not only do we have a

  38. home up in heaven, but brother, how we have a God.

  39. Amen that throughout the Old Testament, that the spirit of

  40. God is omnipi, the spirit of God is from everlasting

  41. to everlasting.

  42. There's never been a time there wasn't a holy ghost. Amen.

  43. And he moved very very much corporately through the Old

  44. Testament Amen. There were individuals that he blessed, Samson, he

  45. moved on at times. But to think that here in

  46. this church that we have the Holy Ghost of God

  47. that lives with us individually, you have a person little

  48. relationship with the Godhead. Amen, Town, don't tell me payday

  49. someday I've been payday for Payday for me is every

  50. time I walk through the doors of the House of God,

  51. when I wake up every morning, I say thank you

  52. Lord for another day. When I can say this is

  53. the day that the Lord hath made, I will rejoice.

  54. And be glad they'rein.

  55. When I can see my bride of my my my

  56. childhood bride, the only girlfriend I ever had. When I

  57. can see her over there dancing in the spirit with

  58. these other Saints of God, seeing the Holy Ghost move

  59. on her.

  60. Heymen, do you think that's not payday? Amen? Amen?

  67. Had to look back at the back and see brother

  68. Tyler and Brother Gabriel shouting and dancing back there. No,

  69. there ain't gonna be nothing. Nothing breached the gates back

  70. there tonight. No and no possible way.

  71. Amen. Amen. Amen. That missionary that worked, I believe it was.

  72. It was one of the African countries.

  73. He went to this distant, distant, distant village and started

  74. a church, and nobody came to church.

  75. Nobody. For years he would preach.

  76. He would get up every morning, he would ring the

  77. church bell, and nobody would come in, and he would

  78. sit down with his wife and children and have church

  79. with him. One night, they were getting ready to retire,

  80. and by the how they heard the drums in the

  81. distant village start beating, and he recognized the cadence there

  82. was the war drums beating. And he brought his wife

  83. close to him and he said, bring the children in here.

  84. Let's gather, huddle in a circle and pray, because we

  85. may not see tomorrow morning.

  86. And they prayed and they prayed.

  87. And according to his testimony, when they stopped praying, it

  88. was daylight.

  89. So he did what he always did. He went out

  90. there and rang the bell again.

  91. This time every one of the villagers came down there,

  92. and as they got to the clearing of the church,

  93. they started laying their clubs down, They started laying their

  94. spears down, they started laying their blades down, and they

  95. started walking in, one, the chief leading them one after another.

  96. They walked in and circled the church till the church

  97. was full, and he preached Jesus Christ and him crucified

  98. to him, and brother stared the old chief. All of them,

  99. all of them, he let in, all of them. The

  100. entire village got saved. The entire village got saved. And

  101. years later, years later, him and the chie the village chieftain,

  102. who by now was his close personal friend, his confidant

  103. in the church, his elder in the church, his deacon,

  104. if you will, They were sitting there talking one day

  105. and he said something I've been wanting to ask you

  106. for years, and I just never have been able to.

  107. He said, that night you came to kill us. And

  108. the Chief said, yeah, we did, We sure did. He said,

  109. what was it that changed your mind? He said, well,

  110. it was all those shining soldiers that were circling your

  111. church with their swords pointed outward. Pay day every day,

  112. pay day, every day. First time I crossed the Mississippi

  113. River to preach, I preached for Brother Leon Buzzard when

  114. he pastored at Mount Tabor, Arkansas. Brother Leon told about

  115. when he received the baptism of the Holy Ghost, and

  116. he talked about how that in that revival he came

  117. to the alder night after night after night after night

  118. after night, praying and praying and praying and praying, and

  119. said he just couldn't go through, couldn't get it, couldn't

  120. get through to it, And said that one night he

  121. got up and went to the older brother Jesse and

  122. said there was an old elderly Indian man come to

  123. help him, old Cherokee Indian come to help him. Said

  124. he had on brand new bibbed overhauls on a brand

  125. new flannel shirt. Said that old Cherokee Indian come up there,

  126. say he had the whitest hair I've ever seen and

  127. the bluest eyes I've ever seen. And said that old

  128. Cherokee Indian prayed with him and prayed with him, and

  129. prayed with him, and prayed with him and prayed with

  130. him until finally he went through and rolled in the

  131. floor and flopped in the floor.

  132. And after it was.

  133. All over with brother Dylan he Man, and the pastor said, Leon,

  134. would you like say something? He said, I sure would.

  135. First thing, I'd like to thank that old brother that

  136. helped me praying. Everybody looked at him and said, Leon,

  137. there was nobody with you tonight. You were right by

  138. yourself that there was nobody up there.

  139. But you paydays every day.

  140. If you are of the payday Someday persuasion. If you

  141. are of the payday Someday persuasion, and you know who

  142. you are. If you are, I hope nobody is. But

  143. if you happen to be or having to be listening

  144. to this and are, would you do me a favor

  145. before we get back tomorrow night, would you pray this

  146. prayer with me? Lord?

  147. I want to trade my someday for every day. I

  148. want to trade my someday that I've been holding on to.

  149. That's someday that I've been grasping, that's someday that I've

  150. been counting on.

  151. That someday, Amen, I want to trade it right now

  152. for every day. God bless you. Guy dark dark A,
