  1. Summoning the Savior. Summoning the Savior. If you have your Bibles,

  2. will you turn with me to the Book of Solomon.

  3. May I direct your attention to the fiftieth chapter and

  4. the fifteenth verse.

  5. We must be about our father's business.

  6. You can tell that I am determined to not to

  7. obey the Lord. Somebody needs to call upon the Lord.

  8. Somebody needs to call upon the Lord. Somebody needs to

  9. reach out for that reaching down hand and believe that

  10. the Lord can lift them out of trouble, lift them

  11. out of Marie Clay.

  12. And that's all you gotta do is just admit that

  13. you need help. Summons the Savior.

  14. Brother Nathaniel Palm, chapter number thirty four, Verse number six,

  15. Brother Jesse Matthew, chapter number fourteen, verses number twenty eight

  16. through thirty and Brother Samuel Psalm chapter number four and

  17. verse number three. We've got three cod texts tonight. I'll

  18. tell you this. I wanted to have twelve code text tonight.

  19. There's so much in the Word of God about us

  20. being needy and being in need of a savior, and

  21. the necessity of calling out unto such a one as

  22. our Lord. Brother Nathaniel Salm, Chapter number thirty four and

  23. verse number six.

  24. Will you listen carefully for the theme of tonight's service.

  25. This poor man cried, and the Lord hurried and saved

  26. and out of all his troubles.

  27. This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him and

  28. saved him out of all of his troubles. Will you

  29. cry tonight? Will you call upon the name of the

  30. Lord tonight? Will you call upon the Lord before it's

  31. everlasting too late? Brother Jesse Matthew, chapter number fourteen, Verses

  32. number twenty eight, three thirty please, brother, and Peter answered

  33. him and said, Lord, if it be thou bid he

  34. coming to thee on the water, and.

  35. He said come.

  36. And when Peter was come down out of the ship,

  37. he walked on the water to go to Jesus. But

  38. when he saw the wind was bostreous, he was afraid

  39. and beginning to sink.

  40. He cried, saying, Lord, save me.

  41. So Brother Jesse just read to us some scriptures that

  42. said the Lord bid Simon Peter to come unto him

  43. if you would, the Lord called under Peter to come

  44. to me. And then you find Peter having to call

  45. upon the Lord. Oh Jesus help us here tonight. I

  46. don't want anybody to clock out of this service tonight

  47. having not called upon the name of the Lord. Brother

  48. Samuel saw him chapter number four in verse number three.

  49. But know that the Lord has set apart him that

  50. is godly for himself.

  51. The Lord would hear when I call unto him. How

  52. many have you know?

  53. The Lord will hear that call of that repentant heart,

  54. that cry from that person of a contract spirit.

  55. Let's stand for the reading of.

  56. Our golden text Psalm chapter number fifty and verse number fifteen.

  57. You have it, sa amen, and I will call upon

  58. and call upon me in the day of trouble. I

  59. will deliver THEE, and thou shalt glorify me. Let's read

  60. it together and call upon me in the day of trouble.

  61. I will deliver THEE, and thou shalt glorify me.

  62. Praise the Lord. Wouldn't you love to see somebody.

  63. Tonight call upon the Lord in their time of trouble

  64. and to see him both kind of here glorified him

  65. because of their deliverance.

  66. Hevin the Father we love and we praise. Shall we

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

  68. So the Lord God, We've come here.

  69. Tonight we know whether purpose that suddenly the aid of

  70. the Lord God, and a time of trouble. Lord, I

  71. pray that you would have known this, thy servant, said

  72. a guard at my mouth, if I'm would saying the things.

  73. That you would have me to say, nothing more or

  74. less are going to theirs of this thy people, that

  75. they might hear what it is the Spirit of God says.

  76. And to the church tonight through your preach word, I

  77. like the words that they need. God, you have every.

  78. Word that they need. I pray that the words will

  79. be out of the mouth of the Father, even as the.

  80. Words of this son, or out of the mouth of

  81. the Park. And we'll give you prays an honor and

  82. gruelry and Jesus name. And the church said, Amen, look

  83. at your neighbor and say, hey, neighbor, have you ever

  84. needed to summons the Savior?

  85. Oh?

  86. Yes, we have all had times when we needed to

  87. call the time the Lord.

  88. Our text is found in an Old Testament book of

  89. the whole Bible, all the book of Psalm. Our attention

  90. tonight is on the fiftieth song, which is a Psalm

  91. of Asaf. Does anyone here tonight remember the psalm that

  92. we focused on in this orning service, Psalm chapter number forty.

  93. That's right, brother rope Camp and Brother Jesse, Salm chapter

  94. number forty. This morning, the Lord led us to look

  95. into what it was when the Psalmist and others had

  96. to do in order to escape their dilima and predicaments.

  97. In order to escape destruction, the psalmist.

  98. Had to cry unto the Lord, and the Bible said

  99. the Lord delivered them out of their trouble, and so

  100. they were able to escape destruction and embrace deliverance.

  101. And those are the two points that I want you

  102. to hold on tonight. That's our mental outline.

  103. I want somebody to escape destruction and embrace deliverance. These psalmists,

  104. they were men that knew how to put pin to parchment,

  105. and through the writing of poetry or through the writing

  106. of psalms, they could persuade.

  107. People to call upon the name of the Lord. They

  108. were able to persuade people that were real people with

  109. real problems in this life to summons the Lord per

  110. aid and support.

  111. In that fortieth Psalm, we've found the Psalmist praying unto

  112. the Lord and praising the Lord while he was in

  113. a pit seeking in the Miri reclaim, and his plea

  114. was to the Lord, and it was one requesting deliverance,

  115. and that was a psalm of David. But tonight we're

  116. not focusing on a song of requests.

  117. For deliverance by David.

  118. We're focusing upon this fiftiest psalm, which is a psalm

  119. of Israel song leader, namely Asaf. And when I read

  120. this psalm this afternoon, as God began to put this

  121. upon my heart, I noticed that there were not a

  122. whole lot of things said about prayer and praise. Again,

  123. there was not a whole lot of emphasis on prayer

  124. and praise. What I see in this particular psalm are

  125. words of instruction and correction. I mean, if somebody this

  126. morning didn't get excited about the opportunity to.

  127. Make a plea in the pit for deliverance, that it

  128. seemed to me like I needed to flip on over

  129. to this.

  130. Fiftiest sob and let them see the words of Almighty God.

  131. You'll find here that Israel song Leader Asaf is not hesitant,

  132. are reluctant at all to speak and write as the

  133. very oracle of God.

  134. If you'll notice in.

  135. This writing, you'll see that the Asaff is speaking with

  136. the unction of the Holy Ghost as Tho, the Lord

  137. himself is speaking. And I want to believe that today

  138. and tonight the Lord has been speaking directly to two

  139. or three people in this building after knowing God pulled

  140. in such a loving manner this morning and the seashower

  141. refuse to call upon him.

  142. All by my mind, I can't help but turn to this.

  143. Fiftieth chapter and point out to you that God is

  144. an emotional being.

  145. And that God is angry when the people that he

  146. created refused to call upon him.

  147. In fact, these people profess be his people, and Asam

  148. puts peer department and in the soul he lets them

  149. know that God is.

  150. Not altogether pleased with the ceremonial and.

  151. Animal sacrifices because they are unwilling to embrace a holy

  152. the lifestyle. I mean, you would think that Asap was

  153. the pastor and not the soul the leader because of

  154. the way he gets down to the nitty gritty with

  155. these people that call himself the specially selected and chosen

  156. people of God. He see as God is speaking through Asaf,

  157. and through this song, the Lord makes it clear to

  158. these people that he doesn't really need anything whatsoever from them.

  159. He lets them know that God is God, and that

  160. God will always be God.

  161. He lets them know that His existence is not because

  162. of them. He lets them know that He really and

  163. truly doesn't need the slain beasts in order to exist.

  164. Oh, come on, now, God did not need all of

  165. those bulls and goats and colonel doves and all of

  166. those little lambs, because God owed more than a cattle.

  167. Through the cows on a thousand heres. The earth is

  168. the Lord's and the foolness thereof God made it clear

  169. that every creature upon the face of the earth, and

  170. every powl in the sky alone to him already.

  171. Before he demanded of them animal.

  172. Sacrifice, before he made inquisition for a bird sacrifice. God

  173. could call all of the creatures was great and small

  174. of the earth to himself, and.

  175. They would bow in a certain place unto their God.

  176. He could tell every boot.

  177. Proud the kronka, and every boot fog on the planet

  178. would cronk them. He could tell every bird in the

  179. tree or in the air to single, and every bird

  180. would yet their beating and see the soil under their creator.

  181. He could tell every call to harmonize with the lion

  182. the trial and the elephants and all within the endimal

  183. keeping the wren and they could make come the noise.

  184. There was liberty again. The years of God. He didn't

  185. need to meet.

  186. Offering health of any animal. He didn't need the ceremonial service.

  187. He learned to be gone. The truth is that people

  188. needed God, then that people meet God. Now I'm telling

  189. somebody that he's the stealing the God. You have upset God.

  190. You feel like you're your royal person. You don't even

  191. realize say that. All he says, the long with God

  192. and God has led to that temple. They're supposed to

  193. be the welcoming a present that are steering. And I

  194. gave you a basis.

  195. He's roading to you to see if you would be

  196. a good steward of your royal temple.

  197. He's roading to you to see if you would go

  198. hey to his house. We thankful men, sir, and gratitude

  199. that we can't giving a Haly.

  200. Said, God's open looking the animal sacrifice and all of

  201. the religious active.

  202. And he said, hone inser launching this time.

  203. And in this armony, saying that I wish you were

  204. willing enough to live a holy lifestyle.

  205. And I wish you were willing there to come into.

  206. My games with Thanksgiving, I wish something you were willing

  207. enough to come into my cancer.

  208. We praise and God's letting them there, and I'm looking

  209. pay from you. He's missing now, he says something in

  210. your life that's you're missing. I want you the name

  211. that Michael. God not happy with you, O God. He's

  212. Mary Man that said, will you. I'm feeling this at

  213. to move.

  214. God's stir my spirit, I had to go into lunch

  215. and after me at what seemed to be a five

  216. star restaurant, after having.

  217. An excellent a tree if you would, I had to

  218. watch him since to have literally eat the best of

  219. the lamb.

  220. I was home by one and I said, well today

  221. I will get a nap like I haven't hand in

  222. a decade. Today I will lay here and get sweet sleep,

  223. having seen God pull so sweetly and tenderly this morning.

  224. For somebody to call under him for their deliverance. And

  225. then I felt a troubling in my spirit as I

  226. since then a missen.

  227. On being Gods terribly host with somebody that would be

  228. sitting in these views tonight. Listen, Mama and listen, daddy,

  229. and listen, young person. You're not even a good steward.

  230. Of your own self.

  231. And what about their babies that God gave you? Have

  232. you even talked to him of how they said wrestle?

  233. Have you been in the priory to teach the help

  234. you are calling over.

  235. When they're in trouble? Not hitting that a shame, a backslid.

  236. Men and women, they lived through life for no one

  237. who to tie old, But they don't give their babies.

  238. I create a chance a baby, it's not a new all.

  239. Ain't gonna do it. It's called upon for all. How's

  240. angry with you? The Bible said, God is angry, We're

  241. the waken. Every day.

  242. I thought, preser I would rest, and I thought I'd

  243. have peace in my spirit.

  244. And God said their refusing to call upon me. In

  245. the second chapter of the Book of Bats, it says,

  246. fromsoever shall call on the name of the Lord, shall

  247. be say in lis bit.

  248. To your So I fear words of instruction, I fell

  249. words of correction.

  250. The filler with God sa ad for their own people

  251. and doing what was right in their own eyes. They

  252. may have been kill and cons They may have been

  253. slaying gains.

  254. They may have been different, their songs and their tones

  255. in the blood that God was looking now for two days,

  256. and one.

  257. Of them was that they would call upon the Lord.

  258. And the second name was then when they went to

  259. his house, they would have greater gratitude, they would be

  260. hateful that they were there.

  261. One of my uncles recently told me that he visually

  262. a in his church, and they said, when I visited

  263. that whole in his church a while back, he said,

  264. they probably had just a little over fifty.

  265. He said, but when I went there, nobody had joy.

  266. Nobody had joy.

  267. I left my church up between three hundred and five hundred.

  268. I ain't yet pitpoorted exactly how many he's got dinner,

  269. but he said, I went back to my church.

  270. Listen, I'm telling you, we see this in the mainstream

  271. of movements. We see these and this thing going on

  272. in the country churches.

  273. We sit in the room parts of the world where

  274. supposedly the saints are gathered together.

  275. We see it in people's homes, we sit in there

  276. places of business. We just see them going through life

  277. with ingratitude for what God has done.

  278. It is an enacmaty, an holiness church that anybody of

  279. a different persuasion, wouldn't come into their presence and find

  280. it absent to gratitude, been after the joy, or if.

  281. I wouldn't so home on tonight and so soon reminded

  282. in reaching her, say how I'll be able to take about.

  283. He's offering praise, sacrifices, thanksgiving, that the praise to God.

  284. But right now I'm going after the soul. Nothing can

  285. tell you what they said. Tell it is not my congregation.

  286. Do you sing about it? Tell you time about a day?

  287. You do what I gotta do? The said said it,

  288. what's you better? But call one upon the name of

  289. the color Lord.

  290. So God comes so much creation, and creation would respond.

  291. God would call onto that that was in his command,

  292. and it would respond.

  293. But this morning God said, reach up to my reaching

  294. down here, I'm seeking to save that which is lost.

  295. Friends.

  296. Spiritually speaking, if you don't know up from them, if

  297. you're willingly calling evil good and good evil, there's people

  298. that would say, I don't agree with the lifestyle of

  299. those within the LGBTQ community.

  300. But if you are passively.

  301. Allowing them as the minority boys to take over our country,

  302. to who are God's enemy? Because God's people will always

  303. stand up, and they will speak out, and they won't

  304. rise up together him holiday against the evil doer. And

  305. I want you to know, if you're not for God,

  306. you're against him till you may sit on offense. And

  307. a lot of people may choose to sit on a pencil.

  308. But if you're on offence, if you're like us, it'll winow.

  309. Sela looking at the ready, they got you all good.

  310. I lets you and he ain't for him. Here against him, brother,

  311. But if you're not calling out on him, then here

  312. against him. I called on him about a hundred times

  313. this afternoon. God, you gotta help me. I gotta burn

  314. to preach to somebody has been everybody they stunt. I

  315. gotta burn to preach to somebody whose actions has called.

  316. You God to summons me how to my sweet sleep

  317. and to preach to them. Mama, it's an indictment, and

  318. it's to your shame if you have not talked, you,

  319. little girl, how to say the name Jesus he calls

  320. the Bible said, concerning.

  321. The name of the Lord, it is a strong talent.

  322. The roteous run into it had mark saying, even the

  323. thief on the cross, the calls of the pressing. It's

  324. like I said to Jesus, had a chance, and I'm

  325. telling you you ain't given her and print you ain't

  326. given him a chance. He went the two teens had

  327. a cross at the last minute.

  328. Had a chance? Why for you're not calling that coming

  329. main for the Lord.

  330. I got a cousin in these parts because Mama wanted

  331. to be this obedient.

  332. Because Mama wanted to live her life.

  333. Because Mama wanted to be stubborn and kicking against the

  334. off gold of the Holy Ghost.

  335. She went out into the world.

  336. And you know, Mama is no longer in church as

  337. far as I know. It's been about fifty years. And

  338. Mama hasn't been the church but maybe a couple of times,

  339. most of them being four funerals and Brother Cameral. I've

  340. got a cousin my age. It's just turned fifty and

  341. she's only been to.

  342. A church service about a dozen times in her life.

  343. Probably half of them was when she would visit me here,

  344. I would say, let's go to church.

  345. Do you know it's a shame that Mama knew what

  346. it was like to see those that were sick come

  347. into church and to see them call on the name

  348. of the Lord, and to mean here to see them

  349. calling come.

  350. The Lord in the time of trouble. But mama walked

  351. out and now her daughter that's my age, don't even

  352. know she can call it Holy Lord. I like what

  353. the songwriter said, I could call Lord Jesus here in time,

  354. Yes I can. Why I want you to do that

  355. because I know he's a present help here the time

  356. of all Well reasons why I'm serving God and the

  357. soul out as I.

  358. Am, Because I know behind Jerry Charity there are six

  359. little children.

  360. They'll be brought into this world and I know they're

  361. seventeen or eighteen grandchildren that their parents brought into this world.

  362. And I want you to know something.

  363. There is some young people in the corners of hill

  364. right now and they're calling on mama.

  365. And they're calling on daddy because they're not all together.

  366. They really sure that they could have called on the

  367. name Jesus. And they're looking at somebody that did.

  368. Offer them security when they were a certain of their surroundings.

  369. They're calling for a daddy that may not have paid

  370. child support, but they knew it Puss come to shove,

  371. he would be there.

  372. But there's no mama to comfort, and there's no day

  373. to protect. And I'm telling you, wouldn't it be awful.

  374. For somebody's child to find themselves in guilt and the

  375. flames of hell and have nobody.

  376. To call on to. They'll come home now to be

  377. too late, then that.

  378. If they pinued out that the most curse name in

  379. hell is jeez, they called on at the ill, leave me.

  380. Too late, and I'll tell us somebody here today, you've

  381. better called on him now. Apparently that's a lasting too late.

  382. But I'll never go here, brother, how I'll preach again.

  383. That's all right, that's all right.

  384. Apparently I've got megachurch pastors listening to my preaching, and

  385. apparently they're getting convicted, and.

  386. Apparently they're praying some things through thank God. But you

  387. know what the saying goes like this. You can lead

  388. a horse to wander, but you can't make him drink,

  389. and I can't make you call upon the name of

  390. the Lord.

  391. I remember being in high school and we would fingers

  392. with a classmate, and when we lock fingers with a classmate,

  393. we would begin to squeeze the fingers of each other,

  394. hoping that somebody sooner or later would call it quits

  395. and say the word peanut butter on the word of.

  396. Mercy and went on.

  397. What whoever was winning had the word for the other

  398. person to speak.

  399. And I'm telling you right now, God's.

  400. Got somebody left hand a hand and you better say mercy,

  401. and you better say God.

  402. I call it quits with this world. I call it.

  403. Lifestyle and said quits. I understand that I gotta do whatever.

  404. It is I need to do. So these religious people

  405. have got on their religious clothes. They got on their

  406. church clothes, and they're coming.

  407. They're rich and increase with goods and they don't need

  408. anything and ain't saff Apparently in the back room where

  409. assault leaders, why our roads are?

  410. And brother, I tell you, he gets inspired and he

  411. starts saying things that God has said. He's got the

  412. mind of the Lord.

  413. Oh, come on my will tonight it's for us to

  414. shell and to praise God. But God suit me this

  415. afternoon to tell somebody you matter. Listen, you make God upset.

  416. God came to you alive, God take to you.

  417. And I said, God under the leaves and poured his

  418. goldy What are you gonna do with it?

  419. Says the what these people thought, just because they showed

  420. up with a gold on the leash that they were

  421. doing their duties. Your religious duties is not enough. Paying

  422. hommons to the House of God is not enough. Periodically,

  423. paying your pilgrimage to the House of God is not enough.

  424. Every now and then, dragging somebody against a will, whether

  425. person or goat, with a spiritual goat or natural gird,

  426. it is not email. The Lord makes it clear that

  427. these people think he needs something to them. I've said

  428. it before, I'm indispensable.

  429. Doesn't that mean I can be spent?

  430. How is that the word? I mean?

  431. I don't feel like God just has to have me

  432. pastor in his church. I don't feel like God. These brothers,

  433. you're ama running the same system. I don't feel like God.

  434. And these mother Jonathan's standing up and a man in

  435. the pastor God will always be God.

  436. And God was snapping his finger and telling everybody We're

  437. not gonna focus on praise and focus on prayer.

  438. I'm gonna ask you a question. What do you have

  439. to offer me? God? Saying what do you have to

  440. offer me? What do I need from a little pian

  441. like you? What do I need?

  442. And God, there's two things He's depending on of humanity.

  443. One of them is gratitude, and the second is a

  444. desire for a relationship with him.

  445. Call upon the Lord, he said, it upon the Lord.

  446. That thing having there on the clause, Brother Jesse, he

  447. told the other thief on the other side of Jesus.

  448. He said, Hey, this man right here didn't deserve this

  449. style execution. This man not here in the middle between

  450. us didn't deserve to be treated like that. I want

  451. to tell you here to night. God's angry with you.

  452. His son didn't deserve to be treated the way you're

  453. treating him. His son didn't deserve for you to throw

  454. your nose up. But that sacrificial, my own offering that.

  455. He gave for you.

  456. He pushed all the blood, the rose of blood of

  457. bulls and goats, the lambs.

  458. Out of the way, and he lepered up his veins

  459. for you.

  460. Then, I always ever asked for, it is for you

  461. to love it, homies, ever asked for.

  462. It's for you to pick up your spiritual gold and

  463. call him what's and alife and my God, Kevin, I

  464. don't learn about you, but I never call him here

  465. a dailybody said, I hung up right here on this.

  466. Don't think you doing something for God because you went

  467. to church on Eastern and Christmas. Hey, man, I heard

  468. somebody just a couple of days ago, set back in

  469. the day, back in the day we celebrated Halloween.

  470. And the Church of God. And I knew that was right.

  471. And you know what this assembled a god pastor's wife

  472. was trying to speak and the generation before.

  473. Her had a representative there and that don't represent it.

  474. It was gonna take us on the money trail and

  475. kind of explain.

  476. How sister so and so did it, and that assembled

  477. that God passed.

  478. His wife said, no, hold on right here, back in

  479. the days we did celebrate Halloween. And she goes on

  480. and says, we dressed up and everything.

  481. But she said, now here disassumed in God, we don't participate.

  482. In Halloween, and we don't dress up for Halloween.

  483. Why don't you realize you participating in Halloween would be

  484. like opinions coming to church on Easter Sunday.

  485. It don't happen. And I wanted their life.

  486. Have you taught you a tow to dress out have

  487. upon some unholy day? Hey, come on, now, I'm telling

  488. you recalling this can recall in now, But why do

  489. we not call upon the Lord. I haven't seen any

  490. Truman's coming to bath and on Easter Sunday, I ain't

  491. seen that. Hainan O knowledgures come to Bethel on Christmas Sunday.

  492. But you know what, they'll do everything they can to

  493. stay out of the House of God on Sunday. All

  494. he asked was remember the Sabbath day to keep them holy.

  495. All he asked was take one day of that week

  496. and gathered together in My name, depart from iniquity and

  497. worship me. Let me take you back to the beginning

  498. of time, when God was running his fingers across the

  499. throne in glory, that he decided to create humans, you know,

  500. mortal beings, and what he was looking.

  501. For was somebody with a free will that would call

  502. on him when they needed something. And the Bible said,

  503. what he created Adam. And then when he fashioned Eve

  504. from the red.

  505. To atom, that them two would be walking through the

  506. God in the cool of the days, and God would

  507. show up and he would walk with him.

  508. My old sister, would I wonder.

  509. How many times was Can sitting in the portals of

  510. Larry and he told you to learn the.

  511. Antelope and such come along just for a minute. I

  512. heard that him call me.

  513. I heard out of that fellowship, I heard out of

  514. their sleep comunion. That's wouldn't be good. That's different little

  515. babies and it bears and girls. That's befall us too late, that's.

  516. Heart too half.

  517. What's that kind of a relationship good? That wouldn't be

  518. like I put on me to say, that's good.

  519. Down, let's go with me. That's I go with God.

  520. Then one day Adam and Eve decide to transgress and

  521. go against God was saying. And you know what, Adam

  522. was covered up in guilt, and Adam was swallowing up

  523. in shame. And God sitting affair in the throne room

  524. of that celestial city, and he's waiting on Adam's call.

  525. But you know what, Adam don't call, And the Bible

  526. sending Adam and his wife Eve were hiding.

  527. He calls on a daily basis. They had an appointment with.

  528. God, and God evacuates if you would, I know, he's

  529. everywhere at all times, but God in his body, he

  530. evacuates Heaven and he starts looking for a small comfort

  531. clay that he fashioned with his own word and be

  532. a rod calf one that he breathed the breath of

  533. life into his nostrils, and a heart was formed.

  534. And beating, and then us some lungs they come on, and.

  535. It's some beings begin, of course, and he's looking for Adam.

  536. He's looking for at him, but there's no call coming forth.

  537. And God says, Adam, where on now?

  538. And that's what I felt this afternoon, now, this morning,

  539. and again tonight. You've been given an opportunity to say,

  540. here I am God, Here I am God.

  541. He's missing calling up this day a man. Oh, I

  542. feel the Holy goos in this place. It brings my

  543. heart to thank you that Adam's playing hide and seek

  544. with God. And God says, seek and you'll find me.

  545. I'm not far from every one of you. Just seek me.

  546. It's not hard to run into God. Every man is

  547. on a collision course with God.

  548. God is everywhere at the whole times. All God do

  549. is call upon him. Feel active, you'll find it. He's

  550. not far from you.

  551. So God, literally, if you would, God slides all these

  552. sacrificial operas to the side, and he says, you know what,

  553. this ain't working anyway, it's not enough, and it's not

  554. changing your heart. Thus the need for the substitutionary sacrifice himself,

  555. your Savior, Jesus. And I'm preaching a message the Holy

  556. Ghost titled summoning the Savior Holy Jesus.

  557. Pray for business Lord. I feel like God's about to

  558. deal with somebody in a very special way.

  559. In this som we find that God is looking for

  560. people that will enter his gates with thanksgiving, and then

  561. he's looking for.

  562. Somebody that really wants to call on him.

  563. Psalm fifteen fifteen cent and call upon me in the

  564. day of trouble, I.

  565. Will deliver thee and thou shalt glorify me. Rather you

  566. have a heart full of gratitude, and you spend some

  567. time calling on Him for help.

  568. That have all of the things you're doing sacrificially, He

  569. wants to help you. In this Psalm, he makes it

  570. clear that he really doesn't need much from you, but

  571. your adoration and your dependency on him.

  572. God creating you to be dependent on him.

  573. Brother Nathaniel, whenever he called for Adam, Adam, where ar

  574. tell Adam by Jesus that was the first atom, and

  575. the first atom decided to hide the second atom is Jesus.

  576. God gave humanity another chance through the second atom. And

  577. I want to tell you the second Adom that you

  578. need to cald, the one you need the summons you'll.

  579. Say, He's never hid from his father.

  580. In fact, when he said into heaven, he sat down

  581. at the right hand of his father, and he Decessor,

  582. he is waiting to intercede on your behalf.

  583. There is no.

  584. Trouble amongst those that are born of women. It's too

  585. great for God to handle.

  586. I want to tell you God is bigger than.

  587. Any problem that you have, any seeing problem or any

  588. unperceived problem.

  589. He is greater. Do you get what I'm saying tonight?

  590. He wants to help you. He wants to help you.

  591. He wants to help you. That's good news, isn't it. Listen,

  592. I believe it's best for all of us to call

  593. on Him as we walk through the gardens of life,

  594. or as we go through the valleys of trouble in

  595. this life. So fifteen fifteen, and call upon me in

  596. that day of trouble.

  597. Adam should have called upon him in the garden, in

  598. the day of trouble, when Adam was not in trouble,

  599. my Lord, But for whatever reason now is he's in

  600. trouble and he's not calling on the Lord.

  601. I can't believe the number of.

  602. People over the years, sister, how I have seen piny

  603. end up trouble, but for whatever reason.

  604. They won't call upon the Lord like you know. Realize

  605. all you gotta do is humble yourself and pray and

  606. say I need help. Hey, assistance over.

  607. Here, Hey, divide ain't over here, Hey, divide support over here.

  608. Call upon me in the day of trouble, Friend, to

  609. day of trouble will come too soon, soon enough, And

  610. others that are in this building can tell you the

  611. day of trouble has come and gone, only for them

  612. to receive an invitation from trouble itself for a collision.

  613. Just stuff to me. I'm telling you, trouble has a

  614. way of circling back.

  615. Trouble has a way of real But I'm telling you

  616. God saying, God saying, invoke me, invite and invote me

  617. to show up in your trouble.

  618. Matthew fourteen twenty eight point thirty. The Bible teaches us

  619. that Peter he wanted to be with the Lord. His

  620. desire and motives was pure. He wasn't showing out in

  621. front of his coworkers. He wasn't showing out in front

  622. of his fellow disciples.

  623. He truly wanted to walk with the Lord in the

  624. midst of trouble. But whenever he focused on the sea

  625. and the waves.

  626. And when he focused on the wind, Sister Wombe, he

  627. began to seek due to the fear of the wind

  628. and the wise little brother, Hell, I'm afraid of what

  629. people's gonna think about how my lifestyle is after.

  630. I get saved. Are you serious? The night that I

  631. got saved, I believe it was thirty three years ago.

  632. It didn't matter if you weren't meant, But my lifestyle, y'all,

  633. had to be pleasing the Lord is all that matters.

  634. That I had been talking telling him on.

  635. The daily basis, I'm in desperate, total need of him,

  636. and I have no problem doing his bidding.

  637. I've never been ashamed of my wife for being a holiness.

  638. I've never looked for a way out of holiness.

  639. I've never one time here behind the shelf in order

  640. to not be identified with my.

  641. Wife as a child of God. And and you know what,

  642. Brother Jesse, the Bible.

  643. Said that Peter, as he began to sink, he summons

  644. the Savior, and I want you to know we can

  645. square our shoulders, puff our chests out, lucome what's a

  646. puffer fish, and we can act like we ain't got

  647. no problems in our life. But Peter, you could deny,

  648. could you? Because everybody notices if he's five put seven

  649. as to how he pears to be five foot three,

  650. and he appears now to be five.

  651. Foot because he's sinking.

  652. But I'm telling somebody today, today's services have not been coincidental,

  653. that been prebidential.

  654. And God knows you're beginning to sink. God knows you're

  655. starting to use control that you better call on the Lord.

  656. The on that you begin to sink the more the

  657. very minute time you start losing control, you might have

  658. called on the Lord.

  659. Against Peter summons the Savior as he began to sink.

  660. And he beginning to sink, raise the horror. Many people

  661. in this building tonight may be in trouble.

  662. Some may be having financial trouble, others may be having

  663. health trouble. We've got some that are in rehabit, some

  664. that are in the hospital right now do to that

  665. kind of trouble.

  666. And if you may be having relationship trouble.

  667. Maybe it's not marital trouble, but maybe it's a relationship

  668. problem with a sister, or with a brother, or a

  669. co worker, or with the boss man. Nevertheless, why aren't.

  670. You calling out on God in that kind of trouble?

  671. If you're a parent, you're having a problem with your child.

  672. Have you ever thought about summoning the aid of the

  673. Lord God Almighty?

  674. Have I ever thought about summoning the aid of the

  675. Lord God Almighty?

  676. Have you ever thought about invoking an interest in the scenor?

  677. But that very word means deliverer, That very word means

  678. a rescuer, that very word means helper in your power

  679. of trouble. God's literally the one writing a song. God's

  680. literally the one speaking the words of this song.

  681. Are you getting God saying you're not deep in trouble?

  682. And you better call upon me.

  683. I'll tell you this one pinky toe beneath the earth crust.

  684. It's too much decision because the Bible said Hell itself

  685. has moved beneath our feet, and that Hell itself is

  686. literally opening up to swallow the unbeliever and the unfaithful

  687. and the unholy. Brother stared if I had one pinky

  688. to getting in a crevice of a spiritual Worthquak if

  689. I sense that the bottom was about to fall out

  690. in my life, if I felt I was in the

  691. currents of compromise and the world pools of life was

  692. pulling me below the surface, I won't pull for you

  693. one more time, God, being my healthare the Bible sent

  694. This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him and

  695. delivered him.

  696. Out of all his trouble.

  697. You have to be poor in spirit to cry out

  698. to God. And over in the Bible do you find

  699. where David's a pauper. He's a king.

  700. He's a king, And it said blessed or the poor

  701. weren't in spirit the.

  702. Night that I got saved. I don't think I had

  703. an enemy in the world. I don't think I had

  704. a single health problem. I don't think I had a

  705. relationship issue. I didn't have any children. I had a

  706. fiance sit beside me. But Sister Wood, somehow something was

  707. getting the best of me. I was getting miserable, I

  708. was getting unsettled. I was getting troubled in my spirit.

  709. And I'm telling you you may not be troubled now,

  710. but you mark it down in.

  711. Thirty days, you'll be troubled upstairs, say with the Lord.

  712. Thirty days you'll be troubled upstairs, says the Lord, because

  713. the only reason why you maintain your sanity is essentially.

  714. Because of the goodness and.

  715. Good I've heard the howl children before, holler across the house, Ma,

  716. wearing my shoes? Mom, where's my favorite par of jeans.

  717. I've heard the howell boys before. Say Dad, this fell

  718. on me. Get me out from hundred please, Brother Jesse,

  719. it's been what five or six years now since the

  720. big balt fell on you. How much did that big

  721. fault weigh estimated two thousand pounds best. It bounced on

  722. your torso and on your abdomen. And as you laid

  723. there underneath that crushing weight, you wiggled your toes because

  724. you wondered, will I ever walk again? Do I have

  725. feeling in my lower extrevities. But Brother Jesse, here's what's

  726. coming to mind. This is coming to mind right now,

  727. saying to me like, maybe God's gonna get somebody's attention,

  728. or maybe somebody's gonna have to call out on God

  729. in the very near future.

  730. Brother Jesse said he wasn't expecting it. But that big

  731. two thousand pound vault bounced off his body.

  732. I guess it rested on part of his body actually

  733. after it bounced, and he said, he began to wanderer.

  734. Have I cressed my interest? Am I believing internally?

  735. And sister whom he didn't call on, Jeremy Howe first

  736. I'd have been there.

  737. He didn't call on Charity Howe. She would have been there.

  738. But it would have took.

  739. Fifty minutes with the traffic fluid, with no bottle next him,

  740. with no problems.

  741. It had been fifty minutes. Once he did. You called

  742. on the name of the Lord, and called on the

  743. name of the Lord.

  744. And then he said, after they called on the name

  745. of the Lord, and he called on his big brother,

  746. come here, brother Jamia, brother Jesse.

  747. You were in a time of distress.

  748. You called on your spiritual big brother, and you called

  749. on your natural big brother.

  750. And your big brother said, I gotta be careful how

  751. I picked this up, and how I shift.

  752. The weight, because if one corner gets two thousand pounds

  753. on it, it will crush his lip. At the other

  754. corner gets two thousand pounds on it, it will explode

  755. his becap and sister wood Jeremah said, even though it

  756. was Christening.

  757. I had to be careful the way I lifted the burden,

  758. he said.

  759. A careless person would have snatched it to own it

  760. to a Christian.

  761. And I want you to know this is why you

  762. call upon the name of the Lord it times of

  763. distress to limit it and trouble, because God knows how

  764. to lift it. I said. God knows how to lift it. God,

  765. he said, cast all the care a pardon me. That's

  766. what I care for you, that God cares for you. Tonight,

  767. you over there, lets tell Jesus Abdic. He knows how

  768. to solve it. Let's stand to night. Our tis you

  769. just said, call on him.

  770. Be in the time of trouble, and I will deliver

  771. thee he said, and I shall glorify me.

  772. Jesus said, my sheet, I hear, I hear the sound

  773. of the voices.

  774. I guarantee you that I could be in a third

  775. world country where McDonald's in walwork doesn't even know what

  776. a business are restricted. I'm telling you I know out

  777. of these seventy to eighty parishioners here right now, I

  778. have communicated with you, and you have communicated with me.

  779. And I guarantee you, if you were in a crown

  780. of five thousand, if you were to call pastor, I

  781. would recognize your man.

  782. I know that, I have no doubt at all about it.

  783. I would recognize your voice. I would recognize the sound

  784. of your voice. Let me say it again. I would

  785. recognize the sound of your voice.

  786. And I want you to know.

  787. God knows the number of the stars. God knows the

  788. name of those stars are a number, and God knows

  789. your name, and God knows the sound of your voice.

  790. But why has God not heard you call his name with.

  791. The sound of that voice? And for the simple one.

  792. You may think you're big, bad and indestructible, and then

  793. nothing will happen to you horrible.

  794. I told you about horrible things happening to good people.

  795. What the difference was.

  796. They had somebody to call old. Let me tell you

  797. again about that horrible pit, that the how the family

  798. sunk in We had a little baby jet to dye

  799. in our arms, an infant, just a lie of about

  800. twelve or fourteen hours. Let me tell you about some

  801. more horrible things, like the how old family has that happened?

  802. My son Jesse in a wreck head on collision, I

  803. saw helicopters flying overhead. Rather just if I'm not mistaking,

  804. somebody might have flewn away from that wreck in a helicopter,

  805. and I remember thanking God, you weren't in that helicopter.

  806. Let me tell you about some more horrible things that

  807. have happened to brother sister Howell.

  808. On a Saturday morning, I felt lad to play on

  809. the piano.

  810. And sing a song which lyrics go like this, men's

  811. hearts are failing them the whole world round. And my

  812. dear mother in law was in there calling and trying

  813. to get a hold of us. As we were outside

  814. after playing and singing, and I.

  815. Told Jeerny, I feel like I need to go check

  816. the phone. The van has cranked.

  817. Six kids were in their car seats, and I walk

  818. in after unlock in the locks out of that house,

  819. and I go to the answer machine and I hit played,

  820. and there was my dear mother in law that I

  821. saw a couple of days ago.

  822. And here's what she's said, cherney eats you, daddy, and

  823. don't look good. Come on, and we headed out.

  824. Instead of going to good Will and threst stores of Walmart,

  825. we headed to the hospital and halfway there, her sister

  826. called said, I need to speak with Jeremy. I got

  827. on the phone and then I spoke with their pastor.

  828. He said, Jeremy, Charity needs to know he didn't make it.

  829. And outside of a place of business with no one around,

  830. and I pulled in a parking lot and heard my

  831. wife mourn, heard her morn and squeal and scream and.

  832. Cry, Daddy, I loved you, Daddy. He couldn't hear.

  833. And I want you to know there's never a predicament

  834. or a situation that the child of God can find

  835. themself in that your spiritual Father can't help you through them.

  836. And there's people in this building right now praying. Tears

  837. are flowing down faces. Some are speaking in the Holy

  838. ghost as the spirit gives the utterance.

  839. Some have stammered limps. Others know that God is not

  840. playing with somebody in the night. And I'm going to

  841. tell you you aren't deserving of all the good things

  842. God has done for you.

  843. We're undeserving, and He demands gratitude as a result of

  844. his goodness. And I will walk you back to the

  845. fortieth son. David said, I waited patiently.

  846. On the Lord.

  847. I ain't climbing under him, He ain't cloud under me.

  848. He hurt my prayer, I'm paraphrasing. And then he began

  849. the rescue process. He lifted me up and out of

  850. a horrible pit and out of the berry claim, and

  851. he set my feet upon the rock. He put a

  852. noose on him. My heart even praise under my God.

  853. And that's what it said right here in the fiftieth song,

  854. Asaph is God Speaking, wrote, and after I delivered you,

  855. you'll feel like saying, God, how.

  856. Do they who?

  857. And the greatest burden I've ever had has been being unsaved.
