-

-
Raise the Lord, Amen. Genesis chapter number twenty two. Amen,
-
praise it Connie the Lord to helpless son here and.
-
They came to pass first number one.
-
After these things that God did tenth Abraham and send
-
it to him Abraham, and he.
-
Said, behold here I am. He said, take now thy son,
-
my only son, Isaac came to I.
-
Loves that getting into the land of Mariah, and offer
-
him there for a burn offering upon one of the mountains,
-
which I will tell you of. Abraham rose up early
-
in the morning and saddled his ass and took the
-
young men with him and Isaaca's son. He claimed the
-
wood for a burn offering, and rose up and went
-
to the place which God had told him. Then on
-
the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw
-
the place afar off.
-
Abraham said it to his young men, abide you here
-
with the ass, and I and the lad will go
-
yonder and worship them, will come again, do you.
-
Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid
-
it upon Isaac, his son, and he took the fire
-
in his hand and a knife, and they went both
-
of them together. Isaac's speaking to Abraham as father, and
-
said my father. And he said, here am i, my son.
-
And he said, behold the fire of the wood. But
-
where is the lamb for a burnt offering?
-
Abraham said, my son, God will provide himself a lamb
-
for a burnt offering.
-
So they went, both of them together, and they came
-
to the place which God had told him of. Abraham
-
built an altar there and laid the wood in order.
-
Found Isaaca's son and laid him on the altar, up
-
on the wood. And Abraham stretched forth his hand and
-
took the knife to slay his son. And the Angel
-
of the Lord called him to him out of heaven,
-
said Abraham. Abraham, he said, here am I, And he said,
-
laid all thy hand upon the lad. Neither do anything
-
under him, for now I know thou fearest God, seeing
-
thou hast not withheld thy son, thy.
-
Only son from me.
-
And Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked and behold
-
behind him. Aram called at the thicket by his horns,
-
and Abraham went took the Ram and offered him up
-
for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.
-
And Abraham called the name of that place, Jehovah chirol.
-
Amen, you may be seated the crazy man, Jehovah Chirah.
-
Amen.
-
If the Lord had helped me, it's really I thought
-
it was going a different way.
-
Tonight.
-
I felt like the Lord just shifted this afternoon, and
-
so here we are. I want to preach something. I
-
feel like the Lord laid on our heart a little
-
simple title, getting to God. Getting to God, ma'am.
-
Our title took is really a paradox.
-
It can be taken many different ways, man, and really
-
it has multiple meanings.
-
Heymn. The first thing I want to talk to us
-
about is really angering God.
-
Amen.
-
It's sad to say that many people today are angering
-
God with their lives.
-
They're getting to God. Interronomy eleven and sixteen.
-
The Bible says, take in yourselves, that your heart be
-
not deceived, that you.
-
Turn aside and serve other gods and worship them, and
-
the lard's rapt be kindled. Against you.
-
He mean they feel that God is somehow not paying
-
attention or doesn't.
-
Care what they do anymore.
-
Hey man, listen, but God is angry that towards sin
-
with such a person that is told arrogant and proud,
-
and then it stirs up the judgment of God until
-
God's anger waxes hot and his raft is stirred. Heymen, Oh,
-
God help us, and know there's a lot of people
-
getting God.
-
A lord to help us out here tonight.
-
Exodus chapter twenty two, verse twenty two in the Bible said,
-
listen to what it said, he should not afflict any
-
widow or follow his child. Thou flict this brother was
-
talking tonight about taking advantage of the widow.
-
Listen to what God said, Thus her not afflict.
-
Any widow or following this child. If thou flict now
-
than anywise.
-
They cry it all under me. I'll will surely.
-
Hear their cry, and my wrath shall wax hot, and
-
I will kill you with a sword, and your wife
-
shallt the widows, and your children shallpie fathers.
-
When God gets here, I said, come on here.
-
And then there was a church there in our area.
-
It was a homeless church. They tell me years and years.
-
Before, I just thought a mile or two down the
-
road from.
-
My church, and they had a homeless church there, and
-
and it caught a fire and burned, and.
-
The preacher put the money in his pocket, never built
-
a church.
-
Six months later the preacher died, and his wife put
-
the money in her pocket, and in about a year
-
or so she died.
-
Come on here, you seeing a pattern? Right here? Came
-
in because God said I'll kill him? What race?
-
I don't know if you've thought about it lately, but
-
are you getting to God?
-
Ver rebellious attitudes? I ain't got to listen. I don't
-
have to live that way to show with brago. Come
-
on here, I a fear tonight. That's my life.
-
But given occasion for someone to cry to God because
-
of my treatment of them?
-
Oh yes, listen. You say what you want to.
-
You cannot any way you want to. You can be
-
as hateful as you mother dangers out there, Ali, You can.
-
Be as hateful as you want to, And God don't
-
pay attention.
-
But that soul you've offended, that life that you destroyed
-
with your words. No longer thoues holding the city lord,
-
because it.
-
Then holdingness the world is full.
-
Of allest people that they can listen to me. They
-
cry unto the Lord.
-
And the Lord here said, you're walking off state to
-
this ground.
-
Listen around, Oh, God.
-
Help us extra set of The Lord said, of the Moses,
-
get thee down, for thy people, which thou brought us
-
out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves. He
-
turned this side quickly out of the way which I
-
command them, and have made a moten calf, and have worship.
-
There in a sacrifice.
-
Thearu too and said, these be thy gods of Israel,
-
which have brought thee about of the land of Egypt.
-
And the Lord said, of the Moses, I have seen
-
this people.
-
Hold it is a.
-
Stiff necked people. Now therefore let me alone, that my
-
wrath maywex hot against them, and that I may come
-
soon them.
-
Come on here.
-
God was sick of their sin.
-
Hang in.
-
But thank God for Moses. Amen, who would stand in
-
the gap.
-
And hey, come on here, Amen, that would.
-
Pray for mercy. Amen toward the people that God was
-
frustrated with you. And then I want to ask you tonight.
-
Are you getting to God? Amen? With your attitude?
-
Are you angering God?
-
Amen?
-
I've heard several already today talk about the pastor standing
-
between them and God.
-
He then, thank God for a man of God that's willing.
-
To do that.
-
Thank God for a man of God that's willing.
-
To pray and say, listen, what did Paul say, if
-
it were possible, he man, my rank could be took out,
-
that Issul might be saved.
-
He didn't listen. Now I'm telling you, hey, you're getting
-
to God. You're in a dangerous place.
-
God goes, I'll do the Lord out here. You getting
-
to God, you're making God upset, callousness.
-
In your heart. Then there's another way. I mean some
-
people they just put that off.
-
Yeah, they don't get in a hurry. They're forever getting there. Amen,
-
I'm getting there.
-
Hang man.
-
In this attitude carries over to their relationship to God.
-
They'll say, I'm getting to me.
-
It's gonna take me a little while, preacher, but I'm coming.
-
All amen, I'm getting there. And listen to how but
-
Fus the Corinthians sixth the Bible says, hey, man, that
-
was a day, an acceptable time. I've heard them in
-
a time accepted in the day of salvation. I have security.
-
The hope now is the accepted time.
-
Behold, now here's the day of salt.
-
They should ha done.
-
Yet many people believe that God's always been there. He's
-
always gonna be there.
-
There's gonna worry.
-
But I got time. I'll get them.
-
And to come.
-
Fat in their sin.
-
Ter wrong.
-
And he said, but just your own watch fat and kicked.
-
I weren't watched fattin fat, and I have grown thick
-
and are covered with Fatnesstay for some God which made
-
him and likely esteemed the rockets his salvation. They provoked
-
him to child, I see with strange gods with ebominations
-
provoked to him the anger.
-
They sacrifice the devils.
-
We see it all the time. And I said, we
-
see it all the time.
-
An They'll give their money away from anything.
-
That can crumble and complain and fuss and dife haman
-
about giving the God.
-
Listen, Amen, they sacrifice the devils, not to gods, the
-
gods they knew to new gods that came knew with.
-
Your father's feared.
-
Not listen of the rock that that got the art
-
thou unmindful of that has forgotten God?
-
Man, What was the result of this? They provoked God
-
to anger with their vanities racher.
-
God don't care.
-
I know I'm being a little slow to man, and
-
I want.
-
Ap preach to you.
-
Amen, I God don't care. He really don't care. Now
-
we don't really care what you say. I'll get to.
-
God later on.
-
Oh you're not. You're angering God right now. And God
-
will not tarry forever.
-
God.
-
Now we got God.
-
God is a loving God, and he is a long
-
suffering God. God is not just waiting on you to
-
come around. And I've lived about as much as.
-
I can live. I've enjoyed as.
-
Much as I wanted to enjoy. And now with nothing
-
in my hand, nothing to give, no life really to live. Now, hangman,
-
I will right to God. No, hay man, listen, God
-
is not gonna he thrown.
-
Her around us like us fair tire or unwonted on. No, No,
-
listen to what he said.
-
They provoked him it because they just wasn't taking it serious.
-
They wasn't in a hurry.
-
They did not ahead.
-
And how long do you God?
-
Now I don't know, and you don't know.
-
But we've not told you that.
-
God.
-
Listen to what he said.
-
He said to be belonging vengeance and recompense. Their foot shall.
-
Side in due time, for the day of their capavity
-
is at and the things that come upon them make haste,
-
he said, And he shall.
-
Say, where are their gods?
-
They're rock and they trusted. Let them rise off and
-
help and help you and be your protection. See now
-
that I even I am he there.
-
Is no God.
-
You mean I'll kill and I make alive.
-
I wound and I heal. Neither is there anything that
-
can deliver out of mine and to your philosophy is
-
I'll get to it. I don't have to worry. I
-
got plenty of time. It's not gonna cost me in
-
my way.
-
To God.
-
Seeing your defiance and the taunting and the daring manner
-
in which you push him away, I mean listen, he
-
mean you say I'm gonna get to God. It's just
-
gonna be later. But later later never does on. Here
-
we had a young man I just I believe it

-
Hell the Bible said, if I could ask anything, I'm

-
My prayer and Andy pray for Andy, Andy Irvin youth pastor,
-
former youth pastor.

-
You're not taking that serious enough.
-
Ship.
-
This this afternoon never later, never comes. Yeah, you don't know.
-
I need the Lord, hey maam, but this paradox does
-
not end here.
-
Thank God takes God's calling an Abraham. We don't know
-
how could have been in this. She could have been
-
able worsh for Heaven. He man.
-
All I know is Abraham recognized he was God. And
-
God called under Abraham and he.
-
Called for action.
-
Did he move.
-
Amram res fly that had him kay under those things?
-
Oh God, I he can help myself.
-
God said, listen, he said.
-
Taken now, my son, don't wait, don't put it off.
-
He not take it, take it now, get your opportunity.
-
Now you got what chance? Now taken?
-
Hen listen, my son a man ah ain't. God wanted
-
to know if there was anything more Importantay my helm,
-
that'll be a.
-
God now.
-
Right?
-
That is hard.
-
You know it won't cost you to be a Christian?
-
I said, it will cost you know how it's gonna
-
cost you to be a Christian.
-
Everything rocked along fine one day for a young man
-
until a man walked by and simply threw his coat
-
across this young man's shoulders.
-
Through his mantle, and there walked. He didn't say any
-
words to he just through the mantle and vault on.
-
The decision had a rose in Elasha's life. Ay Man, listen,
-
he had money. We've heard about that this week.
-
A man.
-
He had position. Ay man, listen, he had game, but
-
dog wanted Elisha. Do you realize that the God of
-
eternity called.
-
Elijah without a sermon, without a prophecy, with.
-
A simple act. He had mantle.
-
Our life was saying, we didn't come from nobody, come here.
-
Our family was no.
-
Coming day. I said, they're coming day that God called us,
-
I can take you to the church. I could tell
-
you the time. I can tell you what I saw
-
that day. Or God begin to call me a young
-
man that was a preacher's son that didn't want to preach.
-
Yeah, yeah, want to preach.
-
My daddy went through. I didn't want no part of it.
-
I told God, I'll be a good church member. I'll
-
pay my times, I'll help, I'll do whatever. Hay God,
-
I don't want to preach. Hey, manam it God? Yeah?
-
God asked me to.
-
Yes.
-
I'm telling you I thought many times everything churis's time
-
for the house.
-
I mean we built the fellowship hall there practically by ourself.
-
A boy's health. I man told us here. You know,
-
wonder God, why I'm even for this in the road
-
camp because I'm called? Did it? Listen?
-
Now?
-
This was the largest call. He didn't know it, but
-
his whole life and much of what.
-
We understand of the Bible hinged upon the next few
-
moments of decision.
-
Elisha, we know it would be the next prophet of God.
-
He didn't know it. Right, there's people here tonight. Don's
-
got sun.
-
You do.
-
You don't even know it.
-
It shut up it guy, Yeah, little sold out for
-

Get to God now and get to him.

As many I believe that he even here or not
-
that God is already called. But tonight you're it's far
-
away from it now as he was then. I would
-
rather be a preacher than.
-
I would rather be a preacher than the most wealthiest
-
man in the world. I would rather be a preacher,
-
I said, hold rather, there is no greater calling, There
-
is no greater try, there is no greater satisfaction.
-
And that okayon the boy.

When I now?

What are you supposed to do?
-
When you come close? Clean your hands? He centers and
-
purify your heart?
-
You double minded? Oh God, he went great with us.
-
From a hottle of years ago. There was a man
-
one day that stood up by the house. Sure probably
-
knows this. He stood up before God, he said, away
-
with all of this away.
-
Heymen, come on here, he say, lifting his hands.
-
Do he said, God, this mine? God said he for
-
now upon clean hands, and he said his my hands clean.
-
May know I tell you.
-
Right here tonoble, I said, my love, this one had
-
said you with me, thanking God, this my heads clean.
-
There's my heart there.
-
You're allowed me.
-
To be right now.
-
Thoughts loping for a hour.
-
Yeah, Thanes was adjusted to this church that their hands
-
was bolluted.
-
They were fil deep.
-
Listen, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.
-
You can't have both. You can't have both. You either
-
want what the world can offer you more or what
-
God offers you more.
-
Now now, God said, clean your hands? What are you
-
reaching for tonight? Listen? We all gotta make money to live.
-
Are you more driven to obtain money? Oo? It'll be
-
in all kind of trouble.
-
You work all day Saturday, okay, wear yourself slap out
-
here where you wife, frustrated with your kids, tired comes
-
sending life. But you got your money. How long as
-
it means that you took one Saturday and just brave.
-
And sup going I'm over here.
-
Heap me.
-
Well, you know I'm into it now.
-
Man, I don't know how.
-
I don't know where you are.
-
I ain't talking your pastor, And.
-
I promise you I'm not trying to give I remember
-
I maybe you're doing everything just right. I don't know.
-
I remember a picture you sent me some time. Oh
-
some sweaty young head stood up in front of this church.
-
Holy ghost was falling on you. Holydy.
-
I don't know.
-
I'm telling you.
-
You know, like a whole lot of forest woods over there?
-
To me?
-
How fire forest is just a few trees to me?
-
They never in.
-
Florida's a forest phrase? God? They not. But I tell you,
-
how long is it, Piano that you made it back
-
to the fire fortress? How the fire forests? How long
-
is it?
-
Piana got it?
-
God? Watch us up?
-
God watching you know?
-
What is the overriding goal of your life? Are you
-
double minded? I'm rather trying to help you. In the
-
Bible says no man can serve two masters.
-
Either he will hate the one you love the other,
-
or else he will hold.
-
To the one and despised.
-
How hard has it been?
-
Let me ask you.
-
I'm trying to help you.
-
I'm time and help you. How hard has it been?
-
For you to let go of it.
-
They be get ready at your heart in church? Have
-
you found yourself? I wish I had a little more tape,
-
but it's not so you can pray and get a
-
hold of God.
-
I just need a little more time. This church is
-
getting into my time, my obligations.
-
As your pastor had to talk about, maybe we ought
-
to do a thing more, a few less services.
-
I just can't see nobody's Christ. You are excited about
-
counseling service, the extra service.
-
Lord.
-
You see, your companion is not your problem. Your family's
-
not your problem, your pastor's not your problem. And I'd
-
like to tell you your job's not really your problem.
-
It's just that God has ceased to really be first.
-
And that is the problem.
-
You see.
-
You can't keep that first. God's hey man, hit me,
-
holy ghost.
-
God told him.
-
Abraham said, behold.
-
Here, I am Amen.
-
The God put his finger on what Abraham loved. Isaac
-
Amen to Bible, said Isaac kum Thau love this thing.
-
The thirdly, God.
-
Told him to sacrifice his dreams.
-
His friends, what he loved. Do you realize God's gonna requires?
-
And I wasn't so quiet.
-
You've already heard the mass for it. God requires a
-
complete cell out right now.
-
He asked for your business.
-
He asked for your dreams, now your plans.
-
Right now.
-
He asked me for the dairy drop of your heart.
-
Now, what are you gonna do?
-
We said, we're all in this.
-
They did.
-
We said, we believe that, We said, God's first suff
-
But it comes.
-
Down the now.
-
Well, you can't, God, ever, and thank you?
-
What did they able?
-
Have you?
-
He didn't say, God, give you a week, give your mind,
-
give your year. Battle saidy God, he got it all together.
-
He cut the wood, he got the animals ready here,
-
He ha got some service to go old and never listen.
-
And he started walking to the altar.
-
I wants to see tonight some young man or some
-
young woman pick up what he or she holds today
-
so near and make their way to an old has
-
said an altar.
-
I believe tonight.
-
There'll be commitments coming to this altar, dreams coming to
-
this altar. It's not that God desires to take them
-
from you, But are you willing to live here?
-
Right?
-
God?
-
You believe that God loves you of nothing to want
-
only the best for you? Right back right back to
-
where you believe God's asking, are you with it right now,
-
right now? To take what you love and bring it
-
to this Yeah, but God's putting his finger on in
-
your life. You know it, You know what it is
-
God's do you do you want them to bring it
-
to this altar tonight?
-
Oh?
-
God, it is here on this mountain that God, hey man,
-
the altar is erected to woot his place.
-
The sacrifice is bound, and the fatal stroke was falling.
-
Until God called out labor.
-
Abraham to this pen.
-
Could I have a pray church? I say, Could I
-
have a prayer church with here? Gotta help us? Do
-
I have somebody?
-
He'll say, I'll need nothing tonight at this altar outside
-
of God's will.
-
I'll let it God in my heart tonight and desired
-
only the glory and the passion of what God would
-
have me to be, Because what God is asking of.
-
You tonight is to be totally his. Listen.
-
There's some.
-
You may be making God angry. There's some tonight you
-
may just be making God believed. But there's others tonight
-
that God's calling to an altar tonight.
-
And ask him for all, asking for all? Could we
-
stand to earth feet.
-
God's calling some of us for a closer walk and
-
a prayer devotion to him. God wants to meet you
-
on my liah and I believe with all my heart.
-
You can look back someday in the future.
