  87. Said, behold here I am. He said, take now thy son,

  88. my only son, Isaac came to I.

  89. Loves that getting into the land of Mariah, and offer

  90. him there for a burn offering upon one of the mountains,

  91. which I will tell you of. Abraham rose up early

  92. in the morning and saddled his ass and took the

  93. young men with him and Isaaca's son. He claimed the

  94. wood for a burn offering, and rose up and went

  95. to the place which God had told him. Then on

  96. the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw

  97. the place afar off.

  98. Abraham said it to his young men, abide you here

  99. with the ass, and I and the lad will go

  100. yonder and worship them, will come again, do you.

  101. Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid

  102. it upon Isaac, his son, and he took the fire

  103. in his hand and a knife, and they went both

  104. of them together. Isaac's speaking to Abraham as father, and

  105. said my father. And he said, here am i, my son.

  106. And he said, behold the fire of the wood. But

  107. where is the lamb for a burnt offering?

  108. Abraham said, my son, God will provide himself a lamb

  109. for a burnt offering.

  110. So they went, both of them together, and they came

  111. to the place which God had told him of. Abraham

  112. built an altar there and laid the wood in order.

  113. Found Isaaca's son and laid him on the altar, up

  114. on the wood. And Abraham stretched forth his hand and

  115. took the knife to slay his son. And the Angel

  116. of the Lord called him to him out of heaven,

  117. said Abraham. Abraham, he said, here am I, And he said,

  118. laid all thy hand upon the lad. Neither do anything

  119. under him, for now I know thou fearest God, seeing

  120. thou hast not withheld thy son, thy.

  121. Only son from me.

  122. And Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked and behold

  123. behind him. Aram called at the thicket by his horns,

  124. and Abraham went took the Ram and offered him up

  125. for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.

  126. And Abraham called the name of that place, Jehovah chirol.

  127. Amen, you may be seated the crazy man, Jehovah Chirah.

  128. Amen.

  129. If the Lord had helped me, it's really I thought

  130. it was going a different way.

  131. Tonight.

  132. I felt like the Lord just shifted this afternoon, and

  133. so here we are. I want to preach something. I

  134. feel like the Lord laid on our heart a little

  135. simple title, getting to God. Getting to God, ma'am.

  136. Our title took is really a paradox.

  137. It can be taken many different ways, man, and really

  138. it has multiple meanings.

  139. Heymn. The first thing I want to talk to us

  140. about is really angering God.

  141. Amen.

  142. It's sad to say that many people today are angering

  143. God with their lives.

  144. They're getting to God. Interronomy eleven and sixteen.

  145. The Bible says, take in yourselves, that your heart be

  146. not deceived, that you.

  147. Turn aside and serve other gods and worship them, and

  148. the lard's rapt be kindled. Against you.

  149. He mean they feel that God is somehow not paying

  150. attention or doesn't.

  151. Care what they do anymore.

  152. Hey man, listen, but God is angry that towards sin

  153. with such a person that is told arrogant and proud,

  154. and then it stirs up the judgment of God until

  155. God's anger waxes hot and his raft is stirred. Heymen, Oh,

  156. God help us, and know there's a lot of people

  157. getting God.

  158. A lord to help us out here tonight.

  159. Exodus chapter twenty two, verse twenty two in the Bible said,

  160. listen to what it said, he should not afflict any

  161. widow or follow his child. Thou flict this brother was

  162. talking tonight about taking advantage of the widow.

  163. Listen to what God said, Thus her not afflict.

  164. Any widow or following this child. If thou flict now

  165. than anywise.

  166. They cry it all under me. I'll will surely.

  167. Hear their cry, and my wrath shall wax hot, and

  168. I will kill you with a sword, and your wife

  169. shallt the widows, and your children shallpie fathers.

  170. When God gets here, I said, come on here.

  171. And then there was a church there in our area.

  172. It was a homeless church. They tell me years and years.

  173. Before, I just thought a mile or two down the

  174. road from.

  175. My church, and they had a homeless church there, and

  176. and it caught a fire and burned, and.

  177. The preacher put the money in his pocket, never built

  178. a church.

  179. Six months later the preacher died, and his wife put

  180. the money in her pocket, and in about a year

  181. or so she died.

  182. Come on here, you seeing a pattern? Right here? Came

  183. in because God said I'll kill him? What race?

  184. I don't know if you've thought about it lately, but

  185. are you getting to God?

  186. Ver rebellious attitudes? I ain't got to listen. I don't

  187. have to live that way to show with brago. Come

  188. on here, I a fear tonight. That's my life.

  189. But given occasion for someone to cry to God because

  190. of my treatment of them?

  191. Oh yes, listen. You say what you want to.

  192. You cannot any way you want to. You can be

  193. as hateful as you mother dangers out there, Ali, You can.

  194. Be as hateful as you want to, And God don't

  195. pay attention.

  196. But that soul you've offended, that life that you destroyed

  197. with your words. No longer thoues holding the city lord,

  198. because it.

  199. Then holdingness the world is full.

  200. Of allest people that they can listen to me. They

  201. cry unto the Lord.

  202. And the Lord here said, you're walking off state to

  203. this ground.

  204. Listen around, Oh, God.

  205. Help us extra set of The Lord said, of the Moses,

  206. get thee down, for thy people, which thou brought us

  207. out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves. He

  208. turned this side quickly out of the way which I

  209. command them, and have made a moten calf, and have worship.

  210. There in a sacrifice.

  211. Thearu too and said, these be thy gods of Israel,

  212. which have brought thee about of the land of Egypt.

  213. And the Lord said, of the Moses, I have seen

  214. this people.

  454. still believing for Andy salvation.

  455. I can't handle all the things.

  466. I need the Lord, hey maam, but this paradox does

  467. not end here.

  468. Thank God takes God's calling an Abraham. We don't know

  469. how could have been in this. She could have been

  470. able worsh for Heaven. He man.

  471. All I know is Abraham recognized he was God. And

  472. God called under Abraham and he.

  473. Called for action.

  474. Did he move.

  475. Amram res fly that had him kay under those things?

  476. Oh God, I he can help myself.

  477. God said, listen, he said.

  490. Everything rocked along fine one day for a young man

  491. until a man walked by and simply threw his coat

  492. across this young man's shoulders.

  493. Through his mantle, and there walked. He didn't say any

  494. words to he just through the mantle and vault on.

  495. The decision had a rose in Elasha's life. Ay Man, listen,

  496. he had money. We've heard about that this week.

  497. A man.

  498. He had position. Ay man, listen, he had game, but

  499. dog wanted Elisha. Do you realize that the God of

  500. eternity called.

  501. Elijah without a sermon, without a prophecy, with.

  502. A simple act. He had mantle.

  503. Our life was saying, we didn't come from nobody, come here.

  504. Our family was no.

  505. Coming day. I said, they're coming day that God called us,

  506. I can take you to the church. I could tell

  507. you the time. I can tell you what I saw

  508. that day. Or God begin to call me a young

  509. man that was a preacher's son that didn't want to preach.

  521. wonder God, why I'm even for this in the road

  522. camp because I'm called? Did it? Listen?

  523. Now?

  524. This was the largest call. He didn't know it, but

  525. his whole life and much of what.

  526. We understand of the Bible hinged upon the next few

  527. moments of decision.

  528. Elisha, we know it would be the next prophet of God.

  529. He didn't know it. Right, there's people here tonight. Don's

  555. As many I believe that he even here or not

  556. that God is already called. But tonight you're it's far

  557. away from it now as he was then. I would

  558. rather be a preacher than.

  560. man in the world. I would rather be a preacher,

  561. I said, hold rather, there is no greater calling, There

  562. is no greater try, there is no greater satisfaction.

  563. And that okayon the boy.

  590. From a hottle of years ago. There was a man

  591. one day that stood up by the house. Sure probably

  592. knows this. He stood up before God, he said, away

  593. with all of this away.

  606. They were fil deep.

  607. Listen, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.

  608. You can't have both. You can't have both. You either

  609. want what the world can offer you more or what

  610. God offers you more.

  611. Now now, God said, clean your hands? What are you

  612. reaching for tonight? Listen? We all gotta make money to live.

  613. Are you more driven to obtain money? Oo? It'll be

  625. I promise you I'm not trying to give I remember

  626. I maybe you're doing everything just right. I don't know.

  629. Holy ghost was falling on you. Holydy.

  630. I don't know.

  631. I'm telling you.

  632. You know, like a whole lot of forest woods over there?

  643. What is the overriding goal of your life? Are you

  644. double minded? I'm rather trying to help you. In the

  645. Bible says no man can serve two masters.

  646. Either he will hate the one you love the other,

  647. or else he will hold.

  656. but it's not so you can pray and get a

  657. hold of God.

  658. I just need a little more time. This church is

  659. getting into my time, my obligations.

  660. As your pastor had to talk about, maybe we ought

  661. to do a thing more, a few less services.

  662. I just can't see nobody's Christ. You are excited about

  663. counseling service, the extra service.

  664. Lord.

  665. You see, your companion is not your problem. Your family's

  666. not your problem, your pastor's not your problem. And I'd

  667. like to tell you your job's not really your problem.

  668. It's just that God has ceased to really be first.

  669. And that is the problem.

  670. You see.

  671. You can't keep that first. God's hey man, hit me,

  672. holy ghost.

  673. God told him.

  674. Abraham said, behold.

  675. Here, I am Amen.

  676. The God put his finger on what Abraham loved. Isaac

  677. Amen to Bible, said Isaac kum Thau love this thing.

  678. The thirdly, God.

  679. Told him to sacrifice his dreams.

  680. His friends, what he loved. Do you realize God's gonna requires?

  681. And I wasn't so quiet.

  682. You've already heard the mass for it. God requires a

  683. complete cell out right now.

  684. He asked for your business.

  685. He asked for your dreams, now your plans.

  686. Right now.

  687. He asked me for the dairy drop of your heart.

  688. Now, what are you gonna do?

  689. We said, we're all in this.

  690. They did.

  691. We said, we believe that, We said, God's first suff

  692. But it comes.

  693. Down the now.

  694. Well, you can't, God, ever, and thank you?

  695. What did they able?

  696. Have you?

  697. He didn't say, God, give you a week, give your mind,

  698. give your year. Battle saidy God, he got it all together.

  699. He cut the wood, he got the animals ready here,

  700. He ha got some service to go old and never listen.

  701. And he started walking to the altar.

  702. I wants to see tonight some young man or some

  703. young woman pick up what he or she holds today

  704. so near and make their way to an old has

  705. said an altar.

  706. I believe tonight.

  707. There'll be commitments coming to this altar, dreams coming to

  708. this altar. It's not that God desires to take them

  709. from you, But are you willing to live here?

  710. Right?

  711. God?

  712. You believe that God loves you of nothing to want

  713. only the best for you? Right back right back to

  714. where you believe God's asking, are you with it right now,

  715. right now? To take what you love and bring it

  716. to this Yeah, but God's putting his finger on in

  717. your life. You know it, You know what it is

  718. God's do you do you want them to bring it

  719. to this altar tonight?

  720. Oh?

  721. God, it is here on this mountain that God, hey man,

  722. the altar is erected to woot his place.

  723. The sacrifice is bound, and the fatal stroke was falling.

  724. Until God called out labor.

  725. Abraham to this pen.

  726. Could I have a pray church? I say, Could I

  727. have a prayer church with here? Gotta help us? Do

  728. I have somebody?

  729. He'll say, I'll need nothing tonight at this altar outside

  730. of God's will.

  731. I'll let it God in my heart tonight and desired

  732. only the glory and the passion of what God would

  733. have me to be, Because what God is asking of.

  734. You tonight is to be totally his. Listen.
