  1. That way, where do we go from here? Until it's

  2. been a good day for me, I've enjoyed it. If

  3. I didn't preach at all, i'd go home happy because

  4. I had heard some good preaching and good teaching. And

  5. I told him, Fellos today, I said, well, whenever you

  6. talked my last and the other preach it and you

  7. don't understand in just a few minutes for what I'm

  8. talking about. I'm not gonna try to pick a long

  9. mess tonight, and I ain't gonna cut it short either,

  10. But it's God. I want to obey the Lord. God's

  11. been good to me for it was the Lord. I

  12. had a good flight down here. And this morning I

  13. got up. I rented a car and I don't know

  14. how many of you like volkswagons, maybe my Volkswagon. But

  15. I got up and tried to get it cranked up

  16. this morning and it wouldn't have crank.

  17. And I've done everything I knew.

  18. So I called it, lady, that was that roadside service,

  19. and I said, you're gonna have to help me. I

  20. post I didn't know if I was supposed to preached

  21. this morning or the night at that time, and I said,

  22. I've got an appointment here in just a few minutes.

  23. She said, well, sir, you'll just have to get it

  24. fixed and we'll pay you back. I get a long note.

  25. I said, here, I am driving your car, and you

  26. can tell me to get it fixed.

  27. She said, ye'll get your uber.

  28. I said, you some kind of woman, I'm telling her now,

  29. tied me do something like that. But I kept messing

  30. with it and praying, and reck of that thing fired

  31. up somehow another that I got the remote. It was

  32. we got out of whack and we got it reset,

  33. and here we all praise the Lord. I I've uh

  34. got a message that the Lord laid on my heart

  35. two weeks ago. I didn't get one word of it

  36. from the teaching or preaching this one, and I enjoyed

  37. every word of the teaching and preaching.

  38. It was wonderful. But I saw that I told I

  39. told his brothers.

  40. I said, ain't that's something that God give all three

  41. of us the same thing on the same day.

  42. So they made the cake, and if I could put

  43. the icing on it out, do you have it? Raise

  44. the Lord?

  45. If you want to, turn to the fourth chapter of

  46. the book Ephesians, where.

  47. It's the Lord.

  48. I promise somebody, I play a song on a banjo,

  49. and I don't want to tell a story.

  50. Hey, hey, y, yes, you're recently the long kid in

  51. like stupid talk. I'm enjoying that.

  52. And play it with your hands, both hands, and then

  53. you use your needs and your feet at the same time.

  54. And I'm getting there. I think. Raise the Lord.

  55. In the fourth chapter of the Book of Ephesians, the's

  56. some very important scripture a man that'll set the church

  57. on fire if you'll just read it and live by it.

  58. The Lord, I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech

  59. you that you walk worthy of the vocation, where with

  60. you are called with all loliness and meekness, with long suffering,

  61. forbearing one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity

  62. of the Spirit.

  63. And the bond of peace.

  64. There is one body and one spirit, even as you

  65. are called in one hope of your calling, one Lord,

  66. one faith, one baptism, one God.

  67. And Father of all, who is above all and through all, and.

  68. Then you all, but unto every one of us is

  69. given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

  70. Wherefore he said, when he's ended upon high, I want

  71. you to take note. There on the eighth verse.

  72. Wherefore he saith Jesus when he ascendeth up on heighth

  73. he led captivity captive and gave gifts unto men. Now

  74. that he has sended, what is it but that he

  75. also descended first into the lower parts of the earth.

  76. He that descended is the same also that I send

  77. it up far above all heavens, that he might feel

  78. all things. And he gave some apostles, and some prophets,

  79. and some of answers in some pastors and teachers, for

  80. the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry,

  81. or the edifying of the body of Christ. One more verse,

  82. till we come, till we all come in the unity

  83. of faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God,

  84. and to a perfect man, and to the measure of

  85. the statue of the fullness of Christ. Thank you for

  86. standing for the head of God. Well, Jeremy, with be

  87. praising their thanks very special.

  88. To receive.

  89. Jesus, and with gray praise the Lord. I won't be

  90. a prolonged Lord's will, and we won't talk about tonight

  91. something that has affected the church for many years. And

  92. it's not to come down here or go anywhere and

  93. be down on the church a man after a service life.

  94. This morning, you couldn't really be too much down on

  95. any church. And we had a wonderful service. Wonderful service.

  96. I felt the power of God and the Holy Ghost,

  97. and Brother Jeremy done exactly what I expected to reach.

  98. The wonderful service. Well, remember when he preached.

  99. The first time at our church and myzion, that's where

  100. I tend.

  101. I said, it's.

  102. Something different, Well the Jersey, it's different. What I liked

  103. about him was he didn't back up on the Bible.

  104. And we're living in a town now where the Bibles

  105. seems to be more of a fable and just a

  106. lisp to some people based God. But I take it

  107. litterally that it's powerful. The words of Jesus Christ is power.

  108. There's an order that was given for the New Testament church,

  109. and that order is not always carried out the.

  110. Way he intending for it to be.

  111. But I like a man that has stammed flat footed

  112. and preached the word. Jesus Christ is the one that

  113. died on the cross. It was his blood that he shed,

  114. It was his side they drove the spirit up through it.

  115. It was him they spit on and rip cued and

  116. mall and made fun of him. And I do appreciate

  117. brother Charlie, or I appreciate what he did a man,

  118. but he's not the only one that gave his life.

  119. Jesus laid down his life, Praised the Lord. He laid

  120. it down for you, and he laid it down for me.

  121. And when before he left, he set things in order.

  122. He gave order for the church where it's God. We

  123. have strayed if we're not careful from the order that

  124. he laid down for the church.

  125. Amen. In the Bible says this. If we father his order,

  126. we can go on to perfect Where's God? I mean,

  127. you know and I know.

  128. That there's nine gifts of the spirit that should be

  129. operating in.

  130. The House of God. Praise the Lord. Amen, there's a

  131. five four Gospels.

  132. It's the Lord, my four Gospel, the Apostle, the prophets,

  133. the evangelists, pastors.

  134. And the teachers.

  135. Now we do pretty good with three of them. People

  136. have gotten in such a traditional way to way back

  137. many years ago, even ceatures ago, decades of God.

  138. Amen, that they kind of left it of it alone.

  139. A man, you ain't heard this preaching, Awhile ain't man

  140. just like I'm gonna preach it.

  141. Praise God.

  142. But I'm here to tell you we got a lot

  143. of preachers in this place tonight. And I knew that

  144. when I come down here that I was not a

  145. good preacher.

  146. But I would be preaching to some good preachers. Amen.

  147. But I knew what my heart was. I knew that,

  148. Praise God, that I have been.

  149. Marinady, Praise God on this scripture for some time. God

  150. knew that, damn know, nothing hold of us would go

  151. if I would just stay there and get it. It

  152. is God.

  153. I have enjoyed Marinade when he has said it.

  154. When Jesuss had been here and he had come down

  155. in the flesh, walked as you and I do, Amen,

  156. and noticeactly what we would be going through. He knowed

  157. sactly the order that the church would need, and he

  158. said it in place. But somebody says, why don't we

  159. change it just a little bit?

  160. Now?

  161. I appreciate the pastor tonight. He didn't bother me. If

  162. he'd have talked right on, that would be okay. This

  163. is his church and our honor the fact that he

  164. holds a good standard. Because you're not gonna find pastors,

  165. everybody that's gonna get up here and say the friends

  166. that he just said, So you gotta be glad you've

  167. got pastor.

  168. I hold the standard.

  169. I prayse God, I salute you tonight, Praise God.

  170. There's no doubt in my mind at all that this

  171. is so good, a whole, honest church.

  172. Andy.

  173. Now, I'd have a hard.

  174. Time preaching something that would condemn somebody in the Church

  175. of nag I believe that. But at the same time,

  176. I want to tell you, hey man, that the church

  177. has backed up on the.

  178. Time called gospelt.

  179. We need apostles, we need we need people that will stand.

  180. Up and say I'm calling back. Amen.

  181. I came down here a couple of years ago, and

  182. God had laid it on my heart that I needed

  183. the preas like the apostles.

  184. Amen, I feel a little I promise you about that.

  185. Phraise God. But the first person, and I didn't even

  186. know him that well, Brother, he laid on my, brother,

  187. Jermy high just as did I call you by.

  188. And I told you my said, God has been dealing

  189. with me, brother Jermy. He's been dealing with me about this,

  190. and it was new to me because.

  191. See, I'm not you in the church. My dad was

  192. the general moderator of the fire baptized Thompers.

  193. If you know who they are, you know they're strict,

  194. and you know that's the tightest comforts round.

  195. I was telling to day. He was over in North Carolina, Zachline, Alabama, Virginia. Joe.

  196. He to help man over that. My dad was a

  197. great man of God. He went around and preached the Word.

  198. One of the most powerful preachers I've ever heard preaching.

  199. He could preach it and feel like the hair is

  200. stand up on your head. So I was raised in

  201. strict wholeness where He's God.

  202. When I got saved, I felt like if I drink

  203. a bottle drink, I was.

  204. Going to have it. I said a couple of smalls.

  205. But I didn't give up bottle drinks for God. When

  206. I got saved, I felt like I had to quit.

  207. For twenty years. I didn't drink twenty years. I didn't

  208. drink coffee.

  209. I didn't do some of those things that he wasn't seeing.

  210. But I did it because I was raised.

  211. It was But one day I was out on the

  212. road and it was hot and it was dry. I

  213. didn't know I was going this.

  214. Way for they got and I stopped at a whole

  215. country store and they had an old or treacherator or

  216. or ice boxing there, and the only thing they had

  217. it there was.

  218. A drink, and I was thirsty. I got to thinking, now.

  219. Why I don't want I drink these honors justice?

  220. Hey man, I'm not cutting down on the people that

  221. don'ts got that whole their convictions when I I not, Yes, tras, God,

  222. don't let you make that. Don't let it make you

  223. think you're compromised if you drink a bottle of b

  224. right right.

  225. I stopped and got me one brother, and I drunk.

  226. I truck as fallow that tongue, and I had a

  227. swall in twenty years.

  228. What that thing is good? I want that thing now.

  229. You know what I did. I got into my truck.

  230. I'll tried the truck, you know. I went down and

  231. run and I said, Christus, that thing was good. I

  232. stopped that the next story got me another of it.

  233. It's God, and I've been drinking. I'm never since God

  234. happy to say nothing to me about it.

  235. When it comes to all the time, when it comes

  236. to black hole, when.

  237. It comes to the hold of a standard that Jesus, why.

  238. Said was I'm winning a hundred percent up from the

  239. other Caludiah. He's done and steals us to be all

  240. in the trucks.

  241. He ain't no good to the chick. Hallelujah. Jesus set

  242. the orders, didn't set the order.

  243. If I re your light here your.

  244. House, don't you get in lid with mes. God, I'm

  245. just a messenger, tells God, I'm doing what I'm supposed

  246. to do.

  247. Don't get there with the mailman's fault. Tolt he was high.

  248. It ain't my talk that I have to preach all

  249. the time. Hold heys God, Amen, where tell who? Where

  250. it's God. I know that I need to write this

  251. word down, but I I'm just as sure as I

  252. can help you out. Forget it. Sensational listen right here

  253. for a little bit longer than God.

  254. Sational listen the parents, so that we can put aside

  255. something that Jesus said to the very result that we

  256. can do it out of way for sake what he

  257. said to it's seeing the Bible said the good to

  258. do good, and do it not to you.

  259. It is a sea where he's gone.

  260. There's enough young men in this church right here that

  261. God can put colts on your life, and the nine

  262. gifts the Spirit can operate back here in this hap

  263. say man that somebody came along and said that ain't

  264. for our world today. They said, the apostles quit when

  265. Jesus has seen it. That's a life from hell. When

  266. he's God. The Bible said, he gave gifts. They will

  267. call it citern gifts. And he said put it in

  268. already the church, because it's necessary where he's gone. When

  269. you get a church that's got a prophecy going, when

  270. you get a church it's got Amen, apostles bringing a

  271. s goood gifts of the spirit to heaven right straight

  272. to the church.

  287. And I'm not gonna tell you a story. It bothered

  288. me some and then it excited you some. It made

  289. me think it ain't gonna be too long. I might

  290. be leaving out of here when I can go see Jesus. Hey, man,
