-
The book of Second Chronicles, Man, direct your attention to
-
the thirty fourth chapter and the third and fourth versus.
-
How many of you are thankful that God is mindful
-
of us? Oh, I'm full of gratefulness and gratitude because
-
of His mindfulness of us. I'm not plans on preaching
-
a different message tonight than what.
-
I will be preaching.
-
It was early this afternoon God spoke a title into
-
my heart, and this text Second Chronicles, chapter number thirty
-
four and verses number three and four will serve as
-
our golden text. And the title that was spoken into
-
my heart, Brother Nathaniel is Satan bite the dust. Satan
-
bite the dust. And Brother Aaron Wood just confirmed tonight's message.
-
I was beside myself, excited and elated for the confirmation.
-
And how many of you felt the presence of God
-
the sweet Holy goes. When Brotherwood was throwing his foot
-
down and his heel was making an impact with the
-
floor up there at the platform, and you could hear
-
that thud. I could not hardly stand steal. I was
-
just waiting on a mighty move of.
-
The Holy Ghost.
-
So I know God is forest to not I know
-
he will be speaking to people whether they have ears
-
to hear or not, I know that we have the
-
right message, and for that I'm very thankful, Brother Nathaniel,
-
Genesis chapter number three, versus number fourteen and fifteen. And
-
Brother jesse Micah, chapter number seven and verse number seventeen. Again,
-
Brother Nathaniel, Genesis chapter number three, versus number fourteen and fifteen,
-
Will you read that, brother, and the Lord said, under
-
the serpent, because thou hast done this, thou art cursed
-
above all cattle and above every beast in the field.
-
Upon thy belly, shalt thou go, and thust shalt thou
-
eat all the days.
-
Of thy life. And I will put.
-
Enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed
-
and her seed, and it shall bruise thy head, and
-
thou shalt bruise his heel. Aren't y'all thankful that the
-
Holy ghost speech have bet the holiness change the old
-
serpent Satan possessed. That serpent was cursed to crawl, cursed
-
to crawl on its belly and eat dust. Brother Jessemica,
-
Chapter number seven, verse number seventeen.
-
They shall lick the dust like a serpent. They shall
-
move out of their hose like worms of the earth.
-
They shall be afraid of the Lord, our God, and
-
shall fear because.
-
The Amen, Brother Jesse just read some beautiful words to us.
-
This metaphor of licking dust is indicative of their total defeat.
-
When we speak of biting the dust, we speak of
-
someone's failure.
-
Of something that ends, and failure to die, to be
-
killed again. The Holy Ghost spoken of your pastor's art
-
these words, Satan bite the dust.
-
Now that's enough right there to shadow to know that.
-
God on Mighty spoke to Bethel concerning that reject angel
-
that was cast out of Heaven of God backhanded.
-
Out of his court. Run Satan by the dust.
-
No, imagine a little exsassen its father, and how easily
-
that father could spack that child and smite it to.
-
The ground and cause it literally to eat dust.
-
That's what God has said of the Bethel Holiness Church.
-
Satan bite the dust, and he confirmed it.
-
Were Brother Aaron Woods preaching tonight. Amen, Let's read Second Chronicles,
-
chapter number thirty four, Verses number three and four of
-
the Bible said for in the eighth year of his reign,
-
while he was yet young, he began to seek after
-
the God of David his father. And in the twelfth
-
year he began to perch Judah and Jerusalem from the
-
high places, and the groves, and the carved images and
-
the molten images, and they break down the altars of
-
Balem in his presence, and the images that were on
-
high above them, he cut down, and the groves, the
-
carved images and the molten images. He brake in pieces
-
and made dust of them, and strode it upon the
-
graves of them that had sacrificed unto them, and made
-
dust of them, and strained it upon the graves of
-
them that had sacrificed unto them. Let's pray, Heavenly Father,
-
we thank you for your words. We thank you for
-
confirmation of your words. God you said in your word,
-
For as many that are led by the spirit of God,
-
they are all the sons of God. And as your
-
children that are sodi media, we are in being of
-
your annointed.
-
Even now.
-
Set a guard in my mouth, and help me to
-
say the things that you would have it to say,
-
not to more or less anoth the ears of this
-
people tonight, that they might hear what the Spirit of
-
God says.
-
Under the church. With the spirit of wind blow in
-
this place, and let the sea go below the soldiers.
-
They'll saturate the spear of the heart mind SOULI fighting repray.
-
May we receive these words joyfully and not the partner's
-
place sorplet in Jesus' name. And the church said, hey, man,
-
look at your neighbor, and say, hey, neighbor, why don't
-
you tell Satan to batt the dust? Amen, Praise the Lord.
-
Our text is found in an Old Testament book of
-
the Holy Bible, the Book of Second Chronicles.
-
This particular book of the.
-
Bible sheds light on the events that unfolded within the
-
nation of Judah during the lifetime of Solomon, David's successor.
-
A lot of you will recall that David knew very
-
well that God had his hand upon the life of Solomon, literally,
-
since he was an in. God's stamp of approval was
-
upon this man of Solomon.
-
At one point we find where there.
-
Was someone trying to usurp the authority of Solomon, and
-
they attempted to ascend to the throne in his place.
-
A half brother dared to do such a thing, and
-
whenever that began to take place, a feeble and agent David.
-
He summons the very preacher that was probably around his
-
same age, and Nathan and another priest. He brought prophet
-
and priest, Nathan and a priest into his company, and
-
he spoke to them and said, Nathan, I want you
-
to see to it that my son Solomon becomes.
-
King whenever I pass away.
-
That same preacher that walked that day into the courtroom,
-
David set upon the throne. Nathan, the one who put
-
up on a finger in the face of David and
-
said thal art the man. Unlike so many other kings
-
of Israel and Judah, David did not take the life
-
of Nathan. He respected the words of the preacher man,
-
and he repented, and he prayed through and God washed
-
him clean.
-
Spiritually speaking, he was.
-
Restored and renewed because of this open rebuke that he
-
received by Nathan.
-
How many of you know the Bible said.
-
Open rebuke is better than secret love. And so when
-
David got into a crisis in the kingdom, when he
-
was in a pitch, he summons, Nathan, how many of
-
you have seen somebody do something of this nature when
-
they were young. A parent or someone in a position
-
or place of authority.
-
Went to them and rebuked them.
-
Only to find that person respect them all the more
-
had to hold them in high esteem, as Brother Samuel
-
held his mother.
-
In high esteem. Tonight, no doubt.
-
There's been times that Sister Howell has spoke words of
-
correction and instruction into the ears of brother Samuel, and
-
he has proven to me a wise son.
-
Sister Howell.
-
We will remember that Solomon's father and mother spoke to
-
him as well concerning words of wisdom.
-
David would take him aside and say.
-
God has forbidden me from doing what I desire most,
-
and that has built a.
-
House for God.
-
God will not allow me to build a temple of
-
worship for His holy name.
-
But you, son are not my pick, but you are
-
God's pick to do this fairy thing.
-
And as we read this book of Second Chronicles, we
-
see that Solomon took the task quite seriously. This book
-
is full of information of him building the temple. In fact,
-
there were three chapters that I thought through, and I
-
noticed a lot of that contained information about the.
-
Construction of the temple.
-
David had plans for his son because God had some
-
mighty big plans for his descendants.
-
And I feel like tonight that God has some mighty.
-
Big plans for the Bethel Holiness Church. And what we
-
need to do is keep the serpent out of the
-
Bethel Holiness. How many of you have witnessed throughout the years.
-
That serpent come sliding in through double glass doors and
-
slipping up in a pew and sitting next to somebody.
-
It's not all ways a gnarly wolf.
-
That sits in the pew.
-
Sometimes it is a subtle serpent that sits nestled securely
-
in the church house. David knew that if Solomon was
-
not careful, that old serpent.
-
Slooplet would come into.
-
This kingdom, and that's exactly what he did.
-
As we read Second Chronicles, we.
-
See that eventually there was another descendant of David, king Josiah,
-
ascending to the throne, and there had been some division
-
within the nation of Israel.
-
And the reason for the folk so the.
-
National history of Judah is because the kingdom has been.
-
Split and God is following this holy.
-
Lineageure that is about because of the Divinic Code.
-
We find that God.
-
Had ordained the scene of David to rule there in
-
that particular spot, and brother Nathaniel, after the kingdom had
-
been divided under the reign of.
-
Solomon's Sun ray of Boem.
-
We find other kings that would do things that were
-
sorely displeasing unto God.
-
The reason why these things were happened is because somebody,
-
brother Aaron.
-
They did not put the devil under their heel. They
-
did not attempt to.
-
Bruise her the head of the devil.
-
It seems some of them, when they became fool of
-
pride and rich and increase with goods and felt like
-
they needed nothing, they allowed the old serpent to come in.
-
I hope by the time.
-
I finished preaching, you realize that that serpent has a
-
well worn path around every kingdom of this world, around
-
every family within this world, and around every local congregation
-
gathering worldwide. It's a creepy thing to be walking through
-
the Everglades and to realize you're walking the path of
-
a Burmese python. To the been tonight that somebody as
-
they walk from the parking lot.
-
Of a church wherever it's located, to.
-
The front door, they noticed the paths of the serpent.
-
Or come on now, I believe that serpent.
-
Was first noticed after the deaths of David. We'll find
-
that the serpent smithered in in the form.
-
Of the beautiful women.
-
And for the sake of politics, we find Solomon being
-
wrapped in.
-
The strong muscles of the serpent.
-
Under this day, biblical scholars and the emosions of life
-
debate a brother, not Solomon.
-
Made into heaven.
-
I do know that that on serpent succeeded in dividing.
-
The family of God.
-
I do know that that on serpent he clept in unawares.
-
But after some time somebody found.
-
The state skin, somebody found the symptom after serpent to
-
have been there. Perhaps somebody discredited the identification on a serpent.
-
I remember about twelve years ago. I was up late
-
at night reading my Bible and praying, and soon after
-
I fell asleep in the recliner and better Jesseie, I
-
heard the Holy Ghost that gave me this message and
-
the title of this message.
-
Wake me up with these words, there's a supject in
-
the house. And I remember being startled that. I looked around.
-
Some of you are familiar with God speaking to you,
-
but it is that of spoken.
-
To you, you know when he speaks.
-
And so I got up on my feet and I
-
got to looking around. I knew the Holy Gess never
-
misses it, and I knew the Holy Gess never lied.
-
I looked around and I said, oh, well, if he
-
was here, he's gone.
-
Later on that day, Hey.
-
Brother Jessie, early afternoon, your mother was just doing motherly things.
-
And the bar of the house stains, and she goes
-
to the fireplace, and upon the.
-
Matter, she notices something about eight feet long.
-
And she says to herself, and I'm happy to hear
-
her as she says what she said? What did she say, Preacher?
-
She said this?
-
Wow, I said, big snake to be as big skin
-
as that is.
-
I wonder why here he put that there? Oh well,
-
I'm cleaning her. And if he put it there, he's
-
head in the house. If that fascinates him and he
-
walks it there, then okay, whatever he wants her, I'm
-
okay with it. I jumped out of that applied her head,
-
and I said, Charity, what are you talking about? She said,
-
this snake skinIn it runs from one another man or.
-
To the other. Why did you put it there?
-
I said, I didn't put it there. Hey, come on, now,
-
the snake could come in and want a.
-
Half in diameter.
-
The hell he.
-
Impressed them it's way in through the fireplace in the roll.
-
I'm telling you that old stake came in up to
-
David kingdom after his dad.
-
And it gets to the flair that jose Ayah is
-
raining and he looks.
-
Around and by this time it's a bone y'all, I says.
-
By this time, as Tarkas says, after Tarca says a victim.
-
So I'm a circle.
-
I'm telling you here tonight we know with the snake
-
us come in the movement.
-
We know of Winna Stay has taken churches. I'm killing
-
somebody or not.
-
You let ter say, sayannight, my good God, that's so
-
Josiah at the age of eight.
-
Do we have any child in this building tonight?
-
Anywhere close to the age of eight? Is there one
-
amongst us here tonight? Come here, brother Titus. I want
-
you to stay focused while I'm preaching. But that little man,
-
probably chunky and chubby, to eat like a king. Literally
-
whatever he wanted was set before him.
-
At the age of eight, a.
-
Descendant of David, the sweet Somerstine puppy is for sitting
-
in the kingdom, and the Bible said, after eight years
-
they've made a discovery after eight years of raining.
-
How old is he at this time?
-
Sixteen? Is there brother in this house tonight?
-
That's around the age of sixteen? Anybody brother Ethan? They're
-
telling me, look at this, Oh, come on now, he
-
is still.
-
Probably chucky and chubby. He is inherited the throne of David.
-
He is a powerful ruler over Judah.
-
But he is seeing the symptoms and the sounds, but
-
the sumpt and it realizes.
-
The songs that they sing at church is not nearly
-
as sweet.
-
As a ota be he a naughty They talked about it,
-
but my great grandpa, it's not there there like an atomy.
-
He's not two of his time.
-
So it in cries, oh trove.
-
And the Bible said, he's cancelming. Got to looking through
-
the clause that so to speak. And while rummaging.
-
Through the clause that, wow, somebody.
-
Presented the Book of All. Somebody presented the Word of God.
-
Can I kill you? Just stay cold and dreckness.
-
Strike, we will word of God.
-
And he was thrown out yet again. They ain't get
-
threatened by a young holiness preacher that.
-
Decides it's time for reformation, it's time for spiritual restoration
-
and renewal. Who are you, young representer. We've been in
-
this a hole a lot longer than you have. Our
-
smart eleant response could be, oh, so that's what's wrong.
-
You didn't put the heel.
-
To the serpent's head.
-
Well, come on now, the first time one of them
-
peg and kings brought their beautiful daughter into the court
-
room of Solomon, Solomon should have stood up and said,
-
sainting back to dust, this is not only the throat
-
of my father, David, this is the troll room of
-
the almighty God.
-
I tell the people he is bailing tonight. You better
-
put a heel on the head on a serpent and say, Satan,
-
find it off. Well, preacher, we've got so much wisdom.
-
We're gonna be careful with how we handle things. Wait
-
a minute, you're gonna be careful with how you handle
-
the serpent. You're gonna be careful with how you handle
-
the serpent. The serpent's already got control of you, young man.
-
Josiah, he decided his time for revival.
-
He was interested in putting God first, not the kingdom,
-
not the things of the throne, not his daily life.
-
But he was ready for a season of revival and Reformation.
-
And when these countrymen and minute God in his courts
-
discovered this treasure.
-
Oh yes, David had a master of fortune.
-
He's rid of the treasuries of David and the superior
-
treasuries of Solomon.
-
Oh yes, Josiah.
-
Had access to a lot of that, and no doubt for.
-
The ripe business deals and the ripe de seasons because.
-
Of the heart that he had to please the Lord.
-
He could have replenished that the vault come on. But
-
you know what, when they've told them was more. By
-
then the transfers of Name and.
-
And solently have found the word.
-
Say, oh God, I'm telling people in this fielding the night,
-
when will you discover the storehouses?
-
O the Lord through the written word of God? O?
-
When will you be a keeper of the law and
-
alone with ivor to take place.
-
In your life?
-
The boy came began to reign at the age of age,
-
waving everybody Titus, and he reigned for thirty one years.
-
Do we have anybody near the age of thirty nine?
-
Anybody who's that brother Gabriel, Come on up here, brother Gabril,
-
the age of thirty nine. Now I'm telling you, you're
-
getting the imagery anti y'all getting ambered to come over here,
-
brother Gabel. By this time, he's no longer thinking like
-
a child, He's no long understanding like at y'all.
-
He understands somebody gotta do something about this.
-
Serpent, because the more it feeds itself, and the more.
-
We feed it, the bigger it gets. And I want
-
you to know, ever.
-
Since he splintered into the garden of even a much
-
talling of the livestock and the other creatures.
-
Of the field and the beasts of the fielder, he's
-
been getting bigger. I said, he's seemed getting ben there.
-
He's gonna come more something, He's gonna come.
-
More devisle that I'm fell of life, Holiness teapot, there's.
-
Time somebody who and realized as a curtain in the house.
-
And it's time somebody house.
-
A real genuine rud of God.
-
There's so much talk Colia telling him at the heart
-
and the Bibles, Josiah, did that which.
-
Please the Lord? Did you ask how you could please
-
the Lord?
-
The night that you've got saved?
-
I did.
-
I've heard him now for eighteen years, ever since I
-
comed on Alisa Linwood.
-
She says it almost every service pleasing.
-
Him is all the matters.
-
How did chose high.
-
Please the Lord?
-
I said, how did you chose Hiah?
-
Do?
-
He did that?
-
From must ride? Then he pleased the Lord. He treasured
-
the word of God. Then he pleased the Lord.
-
He kept the law of God.
-
Then he pleased the Lord. He encourage reformation. They're holding
-
us a sati vacation.
-
Then he pleased her Lord.
-
Another thing he.
-
Did, He destroyed the idols of the serpent. I said,
-
he destroyed the honors of the circle. And he got
-
it all done before he's forty years old. In that text,
-
in the eighth.
-
Year of his reign, while he was yet young, he
-
began to seek after God, and the Bible said.
-
God of David.
-
He began to seek after the God of David. Are
-
y'all leave me?
-
After eight years of reading, he got to walking around.
-
That's about the age.
-
About the Ethan, when our young people's sister Lord start
-
asking questions and they start figuring out what his biblical
-
holding us up and what are the traditions of men.
-
When they start weighing.
-
Out truth from lives, the truth from here, that's about
-
to age and whenever all he was sitting done after
-
much consideration and content place, he said, we need to
-
please God.
-
We need to please God.
-
The way they forgive about how those that our.
-
Immediate future did it, they are immediate past did. We
-
need to go back to the ancient landmark. So we
-
need to go back to our people.
-
Please God, Young people, I hope to successfully demonstrate to
-
you tonight that you have to sometimes put.
-
Peer pressure under your hero and you have to speak
-
to Satan.
-
It's not that there's co workers or those fellow employees,
-
or perhaps even those employers.
-
It's not that they themselves are the serpent, but some
-
of them are servants of the serpent, and some of them,
-
unbeknownst to them, they are aren't workers of iniquity, and
-
they have drained the serpent's poison, and they are walking around.
-
In a trance and they don't realize just step exactly
-
the road that they have chosen for themself or Sister,
-
wouldn't hold your praying.
-
For me tonight, because I've met upon in second to
-
nine I've never.
-
Had I feel like some young people and some young
-
preacher's life are over line.
-
You know what that means.
-
When you're overlive, you're on.
-
A pressipress Davis, decend, it's pail, I said, David, descend,
-
it's pailed, because the spit plus him over the ass.
-
I'd imagine that when Josie was a young boy, he
-
figured out this doesn't look like things Popper would have
-
laughed when they put him in that royal carriage and
-
drove him about. I'm sure he realized these are things
-
that our nurses told us to avoid. He started putting
-
two and two the other and coming up before and when.
-
They failed the word of God and the Lord.
-
But the boy king was excited about this opportunity to
-
please the Lord better feeling. He sought out to the
-
God of David his father, not to God of Solomon,
-
the God.
-
Of Damon his father, and this the son of us.
-
We do not claim to be the children of the
-
same man. We've even gone so far to say, I
-
can't call them.
-
Brother, I can't call them sister, because we have not
-
been forgetta out of the lords of time.
-
The Father, because God's Chiunon.
-
They know his voice, understand his words, and his urns
-
come my previous.
-
By the twelfth year, after four years had gone by.
-
By the twelfth year of his reign. Who in the
-
building is the age of twenty?
-
Who in the building is the age of twenty?
-
We've got brother Jonathan, look right here, how the Holy
-
ghost is doing this by the age of twenty. This man,
-
who no doubt was being pressured by counselmen of previous administrations.
-
This young man that no doubt had received words of
-
counsel from various sources, words of counsel.
-
That conflicted with one another.
-
But when he waited all out, he waited up against
-
the word of God and the Bible set by the
-
twelfth year.
-
Four years later, after the eighth year, he was removing
-
the high places dedicated to the pagan didy and idols.
-
He was doing it himself, I said. He was doing
-
it to himself.
-
Hold the power of impu it, to hold the power
-
of an example her.
-
They tell me how to do it, to show me.
-
How to do it, pick it up, remove it, destroy it,
-
tell saintan.
-
Back to God.
-
Put it over your heel.
-
Come on now, I'm telling you this learning us in
-
the spirit of proper Marsa.
-
He's a corner of a papo, I say.
-
Saying, I'm going He was standing there when it happened
-
when you read our text.
-
The boble said, they destroyed them high places, the places
-
of the hoddles and the places of.
-
The growing in his prayers, and he his prayers that
-
so he'd asked him where we're going next time? Hold
-
over here to this high place held preacher, Come on,
-
don't be a parent, said, put up a stay in
-
mind that ears. Go ahead and go to that deacon
-
up and pulled all that high.
-
Place up and read the touch till the battle. Some
-
of you have been preaching as long as this twenty
-
year old I've been alive.
-
You know better.
-
Somebody told me.
-
That they got on YouTube. I don't ad a cat
-
spending a lot of time on YouTube.
-
What they told me?
-
They got on YouTube and watch them holding his churches
-
that church. I said, well, craze the Lord, how did
-
it go? They said, well, not so well, said they
-
brought in a big name preacher had a deacon walking
-
around up just swinging his arms just a little bit,
-
and said, the young people in the church God excited,
-
especially one particular man, and he went.
-
To weeping and crying and got in the pooping sin.
-
We're having a mighty, mighty manifestation.
-
Of the spirit, that a mighty move of God. You
-
could hardly hear anybody shouting a venture shall you could
-
undershee anybody.
-
Running around the for us, or anybody truly denser in
-
the spirit ho rearing.
-
The church is a whole.
-
Worship and a speaker in that heavenly languish. And that
-
young person is so desperate.
-
They're saying, we're having a a move of God. That's okay,
-
j anxiety. You just keep on reading the Bible, and
-
you just keep on lame with her the high cases
-
and putting the mounder.
-
Your feet and guarding it to the powder a master.
-
May God first say, young man, make God help that God.
-
I nobody's judge, but I know the symptoms of the serpent.
-
I know what a stake has wrapped to himself around
-
the neck of holiness and pentecost people.
-
I know the genuine from the counterfeit.
-
I know. And you know what that young preacher doesn't know.
-
Them old and cold saints from the age.
-
Of about thirty nine up, they all do know what
-
it's like to have a genuine move of God.
-
And they even knew very well what it was like
-
to put on the ephod And I'm walking from the
-
arca of the color. And I want to tell the
-
young Josiah on about the Holiness Church and on the
-
Holiness movement. Don't let fear person bother you. Just go
-
ahead us and not the Reformation again.
-
Had just go ahead and left the Reformation begin. Let
-
them play church let one or two shouting them.
-
Call it a mighty move of God. I'm not discrediting
-
their experience, but it's gonna take more than that to
-
keep our young people. It's gonna take more than that
-
to be classified as a revived. I don't even think.
-
Damnel Western nor Wester wouldn't believe that is the proper definition.
-
How a revived or a spiritual awaken One deacon walking around.
-
Just barely utter the praise. I'm telling you, Come on,
-
jose I.
-
He begin to see a.
-
Spiritual reformation unfold. Because of his example and because of
-
his leadership, jos I realize the nation that is forsaken God.
-
It's on a path led to destruction. Josiah recognized, mister Howell,
-
that just two or three chairs and raps bore, and
-
we will cease to exist in hell. That hath enlarged
-
itself of him's as Charles, we'll reposition its head and
-
begin to devour. It was David that sent the song
-
into the courtyard, and the chief musician took it by hand.
-
And Psalm nine and seventeen.
-
David p and these words, the wicked shall be turned
-
into Hell, And all nations that pursuit God. We're not
-
talking about the words or the writings of a pagan king.
-
We're not talking about the words and the writings of
-
another celebrity of Israel. We're talking about the writings of
-
David to the nation of Israel, this nation and any
-
other nation, for sakes and forgets God, they.
-
Shall be turned into sell.
-
Hell, a holding place where there's weeping, a holding place
-
where there's sorrowle never in the belly of hell, waiting
-
to be vomented, regurgitated, vomited into the lake of fire.
-
That nation shall be turned into hell. How does that happen?
-
When the serpent swallows? Shall that place?
-
Brother Jeremiah, it's not the lake of fire, it's not
-
the end of all things. It's the holding cell until
-
the sentencing and the eternal damnation in the lake of fire.
-
I'm telling you, once you get there, in the belly
-
of the serpent, there is no exit. Once you get
-
into the belly of a well, there may be an
-
exit and a time of repentance, in a time of reformation.
-
And but once the nation of Israel turns belly up.
-
Come on, and they slide down in the unhids jaws
-
of the serpent, there is no hope. I lose some
-
listeners right there.
-
The wicked shall be turned into Hell, and all the
-
nations that forget God.
-
You know how to forget what God said and forget.
-
God by getting rid of the law books, by taking
-
them and putting them somewhere else. I'm telling you, I've
-
heard holiness of Pentecostal preachers, and I'm not against them,
-
but they ain't holdin us, and they're not Pentecostal when
-
they won't take a text they're reading the Bible. Whenever
-
they rely on some illustrations, it may or may not
-
be true whether they have three points of.
-
A poem and a song.
-
I'm telling you, if we need more than that, you
-
gotta cast down the idols. I said, somebody's got to
-
sanctify themselves and separate themselves from this world.
-
Unto God who wrote that.
-
And Josi would have noticed my grandpapa David this week,
-
so mist of Israel. Don't you think he was inspired? Joseie,
-
I have no doubt at all about it. And if
-
it happened to them, it's gonna happen to us. And
-
you know what, Joel jumped up and said. Josigh jumped
-
up and said, it ain't happening today, Devi or not here.
-
It ain't happening in my house. You drugged that television
-
into your house.
-
You better drag it out. You drug that they'll pollis
-
into your house. You better drag it out, sister.
-
You drug your.
-
Scissors and clippers into your house, you better drag it out.
-
Come on, I'm telling you, I'll kill the hold of
-
ghost in this house. This is gonna be a life
-
or death surface for somebody.
-
It's uncle, you're talking on me.
-
David had cautioned his people and warned them even as
-
I'm doing now, brother Stare. He had warned them of
-
becoming disconnected from the Lord. Wouldn't it be a terrible
-
thing to stand in the presence of God and him
-
addresses personally as a stranger depart from me. I never
-
knew you, Oh oh God, but you moved up and
-
down in our church services.
-
You walk their ours. You even walked to the back
-
of our pus. Oh, come on.
-
David reminded Israel and all nations that God is watching.
-
God is present, God is omnive, present at all times.
-
He's omniscient, He's all knowing, and I want you to
-
know you can't give ah. Ignoring your connection with God.
-
Ignoring God ultimately leads to great loss and eternal ruin.
-
Children ignore your parents long enough.
-
And it's going to lead to disciplinary action and people
-
ignoring the word of God and what God said.
-
He did know what to do good, and do it
-
that not to human of sin.
-
These people that get upset with a holiness preacher for
-
preaching on sanctification and separation, I've already sat in a
-
little while ago. Our coworkers and our family members, our friends,
-
and our phones are not the serpents, and they are
-
not our number one nemesis, nor are they the number
-
one adversaries of our soul.
-
They are not altogether totally responsible.
-
But with calls, the vittom of the serpent is coursing
-
through their veins.
-
We cannot fool it. Trust them or y'all saying amen?
-
Right now how long to hear crickets preaching that crickets
-
are preaching better than your saying. Amen, ours of the
-
Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.
-
It's not only the land of the Amaritis, not only
-
in the temple of the Buddhist.
-
His eyes are not only prayers in the worship postles
-
of Harry Christna. His eyes are not only press that
-
come on how there the shrines or the temples of Islama.
-
His eyes are present in the house of Kada. The
-
eyes of the Lord go to and pro throughout the earth.
-
And I want you to know God's eyes we're looking
-
on that day that even decided to have a conversation
-
with the devil. The Bible said, of evil communications of
-
a corrupt good lenders.
-
Evil, you should have bruised his head. That's my God
-
later told you what to do.
-
When he first opened his mouth, and when that double
-
tongue come out about a stable soula.
-
You should have put a heeler on his head.
-
When that preacher corners you, young preacher, and tells you
-
you don't have to preach, hold us every service, that's interesting.
-
I had to be a closed line preacher around here
-
for a pretty good while.
-
I haven't necessarily named any outward of standard of holding
-
us until the last week or two.
-
You know why, because when we needed to do it,
-
we did it.
-
Preacher, you need to open your eyes. You can't see
-
from the pressure of the muscle.
-
Of the serpent. Try to round your head. There's so
-
much press head you can't even thay cry. I said
-
it up, there's so much pressure.
-
Hold your head up.
-
You cannot even thy cry.
-
God.
-
David reminded Israel, the Israel, just like all nations, God's
-
watching them. And you know what, if we start thumbing
-
up our nose to God and ignoring him, we're going
-
to end up in eternal Ruin Exodus twenty and three,
-
don't you'll remember that thou shalt have no other gods
-
before me, brother Air. In the next couple verses, God
-
divine exactly what they're to do and what they're not
-
to do.
-
He said, don't you bow down before them lifeless dumb rocks.
-
You know what, when Jesus was walking or riding the
-
mule into the tempot and he threatened them leaders of
-
Judy is or with the rocks crying out to every
-
idol that somebody had that was fashioning at a stone
-
to begin saying, I ain't.
-
God stupid, I ain't God that right there writing in
-
the Jerusalem. He is the ultimate.
-
Descendant of David that we all off, the parlophone, the
-
one that will put the hill.
-
Ahead, the one that we will say say to the
-
back to us.
-
I'm just a little bit quiet with two or three
-
of you. Are you nervous? And I'm my nam second.
-
We were out for the first thirty minutes. Hey Marion,
-
I'm not done preaching yet unless you're done. Should I
-
be finished preaching or keep preaching?
-
God said, thou.
-
Shalt have no other gods before me.
-
That's boyfriends, girlfriends, postman's wife's.
-
Career paths, careers, career chances. Well, come on now, knowing
-
the God's will call me.
-
And Josiah came to an understanding and a very important
-
truth that the Lord deserves nothing less than total devotion
-
and commitment from us those who claim to be his people.
-
Joseih I knew, Brother Aaron Wood, We're gonna have to
-
put the heel to the head.
-
Here's somebody you need to put.
-
The pedal to the medal.
-
You need to put the heel to the head and say, Satan,
-
you are a liar. Just have to insist. Went after
-
back door.
-
She I mean all of y'all were fellowship, and we
-
had fellowship for about ten minutes, and after preaching heart
-
I was thirsty, in hungry.
-
I didn't bully her. I've never blown the horn at her,
-
not one time in my life.
-
In patience, I was sitting in there in that vehicle
-
wait for her to come, and just two or three
-
minutes later she came in. She said, honey, I'm sorry.
-
She planted one on my lips.
-
She said, my, my, my, what kind.
-
Of preaching was that this morning? That was wonderful? And
-
then she said I knew you were in the car.
-
I said, how did you know that? She said, I
-
heard it the second you.
-
Fired it up.
-
She said, our vehicle has a power about it. There's
-
something about it rumbles and it roars. It's not an
-
old vehicle. We're not about to blow the motor up.
-
But med conversation, your mother knew that expedition had fired up.
-
Oh, come on, I know the sounds of rain. I
-
know when I was singing.
-
Un it's a brain. I know when I see a
-
real move of God that brings change. I know when
-
God powers it up. I know when somebody puts us
-
supret charge.
-
Of under the hood. I know when there's a real
-
mourner underneath the hood that's got a lot of power.
-
Come on, now, I'm coming you, your man.
-
You just keep saying we'll having a.
-
Moon of God, and you keep perching apparentily, you keep
-
purching the home, and you keep purching.
-
The aus of God, and you will have a.
-
Revival Isaiah forty two and eight. God, speaking through Isaiah
-
the prophet, God said, I.
-
Am the Lord that is my name. I am the
-
Lord that is my name. God doesn't care about your opinions.
-
God doesn't care about you thoughts hold the hair or
-
no hair issue. God does not care about your Come on,
-
you not preach.
-
A little holdin us tonight. It's you've got some.
-
For cared to me the preacher like I used to.
-
But you know what, an't I'll have to preach it
-
as much.
-
As I used to because we uphold a standard upholding
-
us here.
-
But if we didn't, we preach it not. But what
-
I am telling you that on serpent he'll come in,
-
he'll come into the kingdom of David. He'll come into
-
the kingdom of Jonathan, He'll come into the kingdom of Justine,
-
He'll come into the kingdom of Jeremiah.
-
And God said, I am the Lord, that is my
-
name and my glory. Will I not give to another
-
neither my praise.
-
The silly graving images. I will not give my praise
-
to graven images. This man's God's not gonna allow you
-
to go bow.
-
Before graving image the cause of He's not even gonna.
-
Let you get by with that. Why that calls that's
-
so silly, that's so stupid. He's gonna prove to you
-
you're wasting your time.
-
You're wasting your time. You're wasting your time. You ever
-
heard young people say.
-
Well, I feel like I've been wasting my time because.
-
There's nothing here. There's no power God here, there's no
-
standard here. Nobody stands for anything. Things they used to
-
hate and.
-
They now loved.
-
Things they used to love, They now hate.
-
Things they used to preach against and now allow it
-
all begin with tolerance. Because we have the fellowship, this
-
church of from now or this church of reputation. Hey,
-
come on, this church of reputation, Brother Jesse, and so
-
they cave to peer pressure.
-
Hey, God will not he give his Lord to another,
-
Not a.
-
Bishop, not an overseer, not a popular evangelist, not a
-
now own pastor.
-
God will I give his glory to another? This a
-
young person.
-
If there's something or someone pulling you away from the Lord,
-
it's time to break away from it, whatever or whoever
-
it is. I don't hang out with friends after work.
-
I had a very powerful businessman message me late last
-
night on my personal time, a very powerful businessman that
-
owns over one hundred businesses. He said, mister Howell, would
-
you mind having a teleconference tomorrow.
-
Here's what I said.
-
No, I've got to go to church all day long
-
on Sunday, and I've got to honor the mother of
-
my children all day long.
-
I'll talk to you at eleven o'clock on Monday morning.
-
You know what he said? All right, then eleven o'clock
-
am Monday morning.
-
It is.
-
Oh my fear as it's time some young jos. I
-
tell an Elis, that's not what gran that increats. That's
-
not how we believe it. That's not what perfect. If
-
that's not the same spirit, they're.
-
Not the power noll.
-
They throw the stitchers in our face, like repeat not
-
an error, Well, you don't repeat an odor.
-
But they ain't ever of a church if they're not
-
upholding the teacher to God.
-
But you suddenly can't.
-
Repeat a something his son, We can't repeat a walk,
-
his son, we can't repeat.
-
But there home his suddenly can put.
-
Another your heel off and try they're the prouder.
-
Well, I'm not anna shot in bollace. No, I'm not
-
seen that mutually. And the person that would try to
-
insinuate that.
-
I have you know better than that. You know better
-
than that.
-
You know about us full of metaforms.
-
You know, as Christians were saying on a daily basis,
-
I'm dying. You know, we say I'm crucified myself.
-
You know, we say I'm Papa PoTA.
-
And none of us have ever had thirty knuckles, you know,
-
speaking metathority.
-
But I'm telling you we ought to drive the circuit
-
to go out. That's something I'm talking about.
-
My father.
-
The Bible said that chose I make dust of those
-
things that were destroying his people. I'm preaching a message
-
the Holy ghost hollered Satan Bata dust Satan Bata is dust.
-
This is not an expression used by Michael Jackson. It's
-
not an expression used by hey, come on, celebrities. This
-
is not an expression used by somebody else, the Beatles
-
or Charles Johnson in the rooms, or the Ghold City
-
Quartet Berstol.
-
This is an expression found throughout the Word of God.
-
Lunit todesta look up the dusta not to deesta.
-
I said the signa that you know the test of
-
hat he was told to cry head the ground a
-
costal car.
-
I said, costa car. There was a sister, and.
-
Said I had a bear Coustafall I can blessed the pa,
-
I said, I the am.
-
Pastor to put a chill cry tonight, say.
-
Back to that.
-
An. There's no si.
-
Some pastor young and angelis and young preacher.
-
Wait on your own to be told.
-
I heard a hole in his pastor years ago. Get up,
-
sent a brother to that fella. Joey Hoyt was preaching.
-
I thought, who are you in a xcept with the
-
great humble had meet Joey Hanter hadn't been in him
-
wear himself out for the Gospel's sake or not. He
-
was pushing hard against the hounds and horns of hell.
-
He was pushing against the serpent. He had his foot
-
on the serpent's head. So the speaker and fella Jody.
-
He said, some of you, you have been in.
-
The way a long time.
-
You tell us about it till.
-
You say you've been in.
-
The way thirty years.
-
You say you've been in the way threety years. He said,
-
that's exactly why can well let him.
-
Get out of the way and let out, Oh God,
-
I kind of somebody at again?
-
Or not?
-
Am I up again now from nothing?
-
And the last moment you go on it?
-
Tell a politicians got tons, tell them mony hungry preacher
-
to money passed with?
-
They tell them in money needs a way your mony?
-
Bay did I say that?
-
He said, A have the Lord not this my name?
-
My daughter the marble, said Josiah, make dust of him.
-
And he took them littles with.
-
Out boys and girls and moms and dance and said,
-
oh is this The grains are those in passing the studies?
-
Are these? The grains are those that were the elders
-
and the leaders in the Churchill, Well here's these they're idols.
-
And Moses did to Satang after that, out of this
-
preacher Aaron. He told them that tim Golden Castle, that
-
they passed them in their own hands.
-
Were the counselt Colorado, he's up to Moses and our
-
sol Zil. These are not the concept. Then they pull
-
horized them and they pounded him. They killed them, were powdered.
-
And if I said, Moses Castle, that gold dust on
-
the water, and he said, Drake dray cat sat.
-
Backadie, tear down.
-
Drop that TV out. You don't matter that.
-
Front, that make up kid out, you know, matter than that.
-
What they love to tell us is this, well, we've
-
come to understand now that we've got a younger, new pastor,
-
we've come to understand that not everybody was raised by us.
-
And so what they do They come permissive.
-
And they become tolerant, and you know what, they're afraid
-
to testify, and they're afraid to encourage, and they're afraid
-
to stand where they want study hall in the name
-
of waiting on people to grow up, all in the
-
name of waiting on people to developed, all in the
-
name of patience.
-
And some of them said, well, I didn't get here
-
home or not, Well, you did get here by sanctification.
-
You didn't get here by separation from the spirit of
-
the world. You didn't get here under the leadership and
-
the stewardship the great men of God, that we're not
-
afraid to preach what that saith God.
-
I'm telling you, somebody better get a.
-
Big fat log with of what concept. And there to
-
the little more preacher and say, Rader, you don't want
-
the consequences of sin, read the book.
-
You don't want the consequences of bad decisions and choicess,
-
read the book.
-
The serpent made dust of Eve.
-
Literally, the serpent made dust of Eve and her husband Adam,
-
literally the dust of the ground that they were fashioned of.
-
She literally allowed the serpent to return them to the dust.
-
They were to never ever returned to the dust. And
-
now every member within humanity that is not raptured in
-
some way, as some in the Bible have been, as
-
some later might will be.
-
You know what they eat the dust.
-
Just as that serpent have been cursed to crawl, It
-
crawls on the earth. If it opens its mouth the
-
slightest bit, the dust of the ground feels that mouth,
-
and that double tongue, slithering tongue runs in and out
-
the rid of the dust. But you know, what's the
-
problem with allowing the big python to wrap itself around
-
these churches and around these families and these lives. Slowly
-
but surely, it's like a pressure vessel in distress. As
-
the pressure increases, the victim and the bones of the
-
prey begin to break. Smallest bones first, pinky bones break,
-
before finger bones break.
-
Ankle bones break before jaw bones break.
-
Our babies start breaking, our teenagers start breaking off, they
-
start breaking away.
-
Brother, would they never have looked at it.
-
As spiritual eyes as Josiah did, and realize when their
-
youth group broke off and broke away, is because they
-
allowed to start that.
-
To constrict and restrict, constrict.
-
And you know what, brother Samuel, the more they breathe
-
in and the more passive they become, and the more
-
relaxed they are, the tight of the grip they've set
-
before that. If somebody grabs you and they start binding
-
you with rope, they said, get airspace between you. Have
-
as much airspace as you can between them arm pits,
-
and try to bow them elbows out that way. When
-
they're done binding you, you've.
-
Got rooms grow and room to move.
-
And adyse Criminal he knows just to bring it on
-
in and pull it on in tight. I feel like
-
God has just revealed to me that there's some young people,
-
whether present tonight or maybe listening, or might listen ten
-
years from now, there's some young people.
-
You've been talking to the wrong crowd, and already you've
-
been tempted to try something you know you should not trip.
-
It doesn't matter if it's the serpent's head or the
-
serpent's tail.
-
Being anywhere near that beast was dangerous.
-
Well, I got the world by the tail. I got
-
the serpent by the tail. All it takes is for
-
you to turn your head.
-
I'm gonna talk about to cool. I I don't know about.
-
The surf made dust of Adam and Eve because she
-
wouldn't break off evil communication. Literally sin came in brother Nathaniel,
-
ultimately leading to death. It took its toll, and now
-
every minister stands graveside of people's dearest loved ones and
-
recites the haunting words.
-
As she's to as death to dust. All because of
-
the Circit all because of the circuit one conversation with
-
a serpent.
-
Eve shouldn't have lost that close fellowship with her husband
-
and her God.
-
She should have left the serpent in her dust. You
-
ever heard of somebody running away so fast that they say,
-
eat my dust? They say I left them in the dust.
-
Young person, you better flee like Joseph did they when
-
he went in to potiphys.
-
Houss and that unholy woman they were wold of his
-
holy cate.
-
The Bible said, he didn't just passively dismiss himself.
-
He fled out of the house.
-
I know what I'm feeling in my soul right now,
-
young preacher, You better disfellowship somebody.
-
I am for unification as long as it's within the
-
will of God.
-
I'm for fellowship as long as it benefits our young people.
-
I'm for communication with holy people of God. But you
-
bet at this fellowship those that are not upholding truth.
-
I don't care what their last name is.
-
I'm not gonna be having somebody of a renowned situation
-
come preach for us just hoping that they're reciprocate.
-
A lot of preachers are doing that.
-
They don't realize they're walking right into the holy of
-
the Serpent, and they don't realize.
-
When they come in and the serpents eyes glaze over
-
and say, in tonight, just walked a gunnable nave.
-
Your preacher, Matthew ten fourteen told us how to handle this,
-
Sister Hill.
-
Jesus told the.
-
Apostles, said, you're gonna go somewhere and you're gonna preach,
-
and they're not gonna receive your word. They're not gonna
-
accept what you preach. And Jesus said, and whosoever shall
-
not receive it.
-
Nor hear your words, when you depart out of that
-
house or city, shake off the dust or your feet.
-
And I don't want to say this, when you depart
-
out of their house, their city, or their church, or
-
they don't.
-
Want to hear words of truth, plainly spoken. They don't
-
want to hear.
-
Messages of truth and righteousness and holiness, even if they
-
are family members.
-
I'm not sacred saying.
-
Make enemies of them, but I will say this, their father,
-
the serpent, and their enemies of your soul. And according
-
to Jesus, when your words, which are His words, are
-
not received, you like the dust off your feet.
-
That's a hard thing for me to do. I know
-
it was a hard thing for me to do too.
-
When God sent me into an.
-
Area where there had been an old holiness work and
-
I labored for two years and even allowed the family
-
that shouldn't have charged rent for a property that didn't
-
on a community church, for a church that had had
-
a service in ten years, that literally had become a
-
lizard's and a right and mice and cock roots dend.
-
Sister Whop said, Amen, it's the truth.
-
In a church where the sign was twenty five or
-
thirty years old.
-
A church at the pews on ends had bleached white
-
because nobody cared one thing about that house.
-
I had to a live dorment for years.
-
I think I've been told ten years before they had
-
another serious service.
-
We walked in, we dusted off the pews. The smell
-
in there was so rich and of a spiritual, wicked serpent.
-
Sister how walked around spraying perfume before we opened service.
-
That church went from having nobody to having fifty that
-
morning that we held and conducted service. But Brother Aaron Wood,
-
the serpent didn't want to release its grip on that church,
-
I said, the serpent didn't want to release its grip
-
on that church and or control of that church. After
-
two years after a service just like this one tonight, after.
-
Being in the presence of the Holy Ghost. After a superly.
-
Charged, highly annointed service, just simply softening with sweat, I
-
walked to the back when in my office and closed
-
the door, and I bound my head and I prayed
-
like I do every time I get done preaching, and
-
I said, thank you Lord for your anointing, for without
-
you I couldn't do anything.
-
I thank him for gracing me with your spirit.
-
I'm thank you for the sweet Holy Ghost coming by,
-
and Brother jere Min immediately of weeping spirit come upon me.
-
I cried for twenty minutes.
-
I told Sister Howell, I said, this has only happened
-
one other time in my ministry, and every time it happens,
-
it's of spiritual significance, and a lot of people lose
-
their life spiritually. The very next service, we were having
-
church business as usual, and the Holy Ghost spoke for
-
a tongue and interpretation and a word of prophecy went forth,
-
and members of that community that had been associated with
-
that holiness work that we're no longer faithful to church,
-
certainly not faithful to that church, no longer interested and
-
sanctified living.
-
They pulled up in the church yard. Immediately after the
-
Holy Ghost.
-
Spoke, I saw eyes of a serpent in the form
-
of two headlights through the window.
-
As I stood there, I saw them eyes through the window.
-
Alone.
-
He came the serpent. As soon as I dismissed. They
-
walked to the front and said, Pastor, howe, you're a
-
great guy.
-
You're over here to the right. We're over here to
-
the left. Can we come together. We're gonna ask you
-
one last time? Can we meet in the middle?
-
And I said no.
-
I've even paid you to have church here for two years,
-
as high as a thousand a month.
-
They didn't care about the money. They didn't want hold
-
in this stead.
-
I told the keys of that building out of my
-
pocket some days later and I said, here's the keys
-
to your church, and I drove off. I'm not done preaching.
-
I gave it to him, and we wouldn't have church
-
in a store front. Power of God fell and moved.
-
In a mighty way.
-
We found out that God was with us.
-
We found out no matter where we met, God was
-
with us. And thanks be to God most everybody that
-
was there, for not everybody went with us. But I
-
let them have their little community holiness church. I wasn't
-
gonna fight for it.
-
No no, sir, no, ma'am. I prayed it through, gave
-
them their keys.
-
Back, Sure did, Sure did. I quit fighting over it,
-
just let them have it. After about three or four months,
-
Brother Jeremiah.
-
Wasn't that long. Brother Jeremiah told me the other day he.
-
Said, I've never forgot it, and I wasn't even thinking
-
about this when the Holy Good spoke to us into
-
my heart.
-
He said, Dad, I'll never forget. How old were you.
-
He said, probably sixteen, Brother Ethan's age. He said, you'd
-
come home and you said to the family. God spoke
-
to my heart today to do something. I've never done
-
it before.
-
I told him. I said, bye, no, oh, it's of God.
-
And I said, I'm gonna wait until this evening, and it's.
-
Gonna break my heart to do it, but I'm gonna
-
drive that twenty five thirty minute drive out there. I
-
want you to wanna stay in the vehicle, and I
-
am gonna get out and do something. And that was
-
the end of the conversation. Didn't speak with my children
-
and my wife at all about it. Didn't try to
-
explain anything to the younger ones and sister Walker. I
-
got out, walked to the front door, and I said, nevertheless, the.
-
Kingdom of God has come nine to you. And I
-
started crying.
-
And then I turned and walked, and the Holy Goods said,
-
the second time, walped the dust off your feet
