  8. It was early this afternoon God spoke a title into

  9. my heart, and this text Second Chronicles, chapter number thirty

  11. our golden text. And the title that was spoken into

  12. my heart, Brother Nathaniel is Satan bite the dust. Satan

  13. bite the dust. And Brother Aaron Wood just confirmed tonight's message.

  14. I was beside myself, excited and elated for the confirmation.

  15. And how many of you felt the presence of God

  16. the sweet Holy goes. When Brotherwood was throwing his foot

  17. down and his heel was making an impact with the

  18. floor up there at the platform, and you could hear

  19. that thud. I could not hardly stand steal. I was

  20. just waiting on a mighty move of.

  21. The Holy Ghost.

  22. So I know God is forest to not I know

  23. he will be speaking to people whether they have ears

  24. to hear or not, I know that we have the

  25. right message, and for that I'm very thankful, Brother Nathaniel,

  26. Genesis chapter number three, versus number fourteen and fifteen. And

  27. Brother jesse Micah, chapter number seven and verse number seventeen. Again,

  28. Brother Nathaniel, Genesis chapter number three, versus number fourteen and fifteen,

  29. Will you read that, brother, and the Lord said, under

  30. the serpent, because thou hast done this, thou art cursed

  31. above all cattle and above every beast in the field.

  32. Upon thy belly, shalt thou go, and thust shalt thou

  33. eat all the days.

  34. Of thy life. And I will put.

  35. Enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed

  36. and her seed, and it shall bruise thy head, and

  37. thou shalt bruise his heel. Aren't y'all thankful that the

  38. Holy ghost speech have bet the holiness change the old

  39. serpent Satan possessed. That serpent was cursed to crawl, cursed

  40. to crawl on its belly and eat dust. Brother Jessemica,

  41. Chapter number seven, verse number seventeen.

  42. They shall lick the dust like a serpent. They shall

  43. move out of their hose like worms of the earth.

  44. They shall be afraid of the Lord, our God, and

  45. shall fear because.

  46. The Amen, Brother Jesse just read some beautiful words to us.

  47. This metaphor of licking dust is indicative of their total defeat.

  48. When we speak of biting the dust, we speak of

  49. someone's failure.

  50. Of something that ends, and failure to die, to be

  51. killed again. The Holy Ghost spoken of your pastor's art

  52. these words, Satan bite the dust.

  53. Now that's enough right there to shadow to know that.

  54. God on Mighty spoke to Bethel concerning that reject angel

  55. that was cast out of Heaven of God backhanded.

  56. Out of his court. Run Satan by the dust.

  57. No, imagine a little exsassen its father, and how easily

  58. that father could spack that child and smite it to.

  59. The ground and cause it literally to eat dust.

  60. That's what God has said of the Bethel Holiness Church.

  61. Satan bite the dust, and he confirmed it.

  62. Were Brother Aaron Woods preaching tonight. Amen, Let's read Second Chronicles,

  63. chapter number thirty four, Verses number three and four of

  64. the Bible said for in the eighth year of his reign,

  65. while he was yet young, he began to seek after

  66. the God of David his father. And in the twelfth

  67. year he began to perch Judah and Jerusalem from the

  68. high places, and the groves, and the carved images and

  69. the molten images, and they break down the altars of

  70. Balem in his presence, and the images that were on

  71. high above them, he cut down, and the groves, the

  72. carved images and the molten images. He brake in pieces

  73. and made dust of them, and strode it upon the

  74. graves of them that had sacrificed unto them, and made

  75. dust of them, and strained it upon the graves of

  76. them that had sacrificed unto them. Let's pray, Heavenly Father,

  77. we thank you for your words. We thank you for

  78. confirmation of your words. God you said in your word,

  79. For as many that are led by the spirit of God,

  80. they are all the sons of God. And as your

  81. children that are sodi media, we are in being of

  82. your annointed.

  83. Even now.

  84. Set a guard in my mouth, and help me to

  85. say the things that you would have it to say,

  86. not to more or less anoth the ears of this

  87. people tonight, that they might hear what the Spirit of

  88. God says.

  89. Under the church. With the spirit of wind blow in

  90. this place, and let the sea go below the soldiers.

  91. They'll saturate the spear of the heart mind SOULI fighting repray.

  92. May we receive these words joyfully and not the partner's

  93. place sorplet in Jesus' name. And the church said, hey, man,

  94. look at your neighbor, and say, hey, neighbor, why don't

  95. you tell Satan to batt the dust? Amen, Praise the Lord.

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

  97. the Holy Bible, the Book of Second Chronicles.

  98. This particular book of the.

  99. Bible sheds light on the events that unfolded within the

  100. nation of Judah during the lifetime of Solomon, David's successor.

  101. A lot of you will recall that David knew very

  102. well that God had his hand upon the life of Solomon, literally,

  103. since he was an in. God's stamp of approval was

  104. upon this man of Solomon.

  105. At one point we find where there.

  106. Was someone trying to usurp the authority of Solomon, and

  107. they attempted to ascend to the throne in his place.

  108. A half brother dared to do such a thing, and

  109. whenever that began to take place, a feeble and agent David.

  110. He summons the very preacher that was probably around his

  111. same age, and Nathan and another priest. He brought prophet

  112. and priest, Nathan and a priest into his company, and

  113. he spoke to them and said, Nathan, I want you

  114. to see to it that my son Solomon becomes.

  115. King whenever I pass away.

  116. That same preacher that walked that day into the courtroom,

  117. David set upon the throne. Nathan, the one who put

  118. up on a finger in the face of David and

  119. said thal art the man. Unlike so many other kings

  120. of Israel and Judah, David did not take the life

  121. of Nathan. He respected the words of the preacher man,

  122. and he repented, and he prayed through and God washed

  123. him clean.

  124. Spiritually speaking, he was.

  125. Restored and renewed because of this open rebuke that he

  126. received by Nathan.

  127. How many of you know the Bible said.

  128. Open rebuke is better than secret love. And so when

  129. David got into a crisis in the kingdom, when he

  130. was in a pitch, he summons, Nathan, how many of

  131. you have seen somebody do something of this nature when

  132. they were young. A parent or someone in a position

  133. or place of authority.

  134. Went to them and rebuked them.

  135. Only to find that person respect them all the more

  136. had to hold them in high esteem, as Brother Samuel

  137. held his mother.

  138. In high esteem. Tonight, no doubt.

  139. There's been times that Sister Howell has spoke words of

  140. correction and instruction into the ears of brother Samuel, and

  141. he has proven to me a wise son.

  142. Sister Howell.

  143. We will remember that Solomon's father and mother spoke to

  144. him as well concerning words of wisdom.

  145. David would take him aside and say.

  146. God has forbidden me from doing what I desire most,

  147. and that has built a.

  148. House for God.

  149. God will not allow me to build a temple of

  150. worship for His holy name.

  151. But you, son are not my pick, but you are

  152. God's pick to do this fairy thing.

  153. And as we read this book of Second Chronicles, we

  154. see that Solomon took the task quite seriously. This book

  155. is full of information of him building the temple. In fact,

  156. there were three chapters that I thought through, and I

  157. noticed a lot of that contained information about the.

  158. Construction of the temple.

  159. David had plans for his son because God had some

  160. mighty big plans for his descendants.

  161. And I feel like tonight that God has some mighty.

  162. Big plans for the Bethel Holiness Church. And what we

  163. need to do is keep the serpent out of the

  164. Bethel Holiness. How many of you have witnessed throughout the years.

  165. That serpent come sliding in through double glass doors and

  166. slipping up in a pew and sitting next to somebody.

  167. It's not all ways a gnarly wolf.

  168. That sits in the pew.

  169. Sometimes it is a subtle serpent that sits nestled securely

  170. in the church house. David knew that if Solomon was

  171. not careful, that old serpent.

  172. Slooplet would come into.

  173. This kingdom, and that's exactly what he did.

  174. As we read Second Chronicles, we.

  175. See that eventually there was another descendant of David, king Josiah,

  176. ascending to the throne, and there had been some division

  177. within the nation of Israel.

  178. And the reason for the folk so the.

  179. National history of Judah is because the kingdom has been.

  180. Split and God is following this holy.

  181. Lineageure that is about because of the Divinic Code.

  182. We find that God.

  183. Had ordained the scene of David to rule there in

  184. that particular spot, and brother Nathaniel, after the kingdom had

  185. been divided under the reign of.

  186. Solomon's Sun ray of Boem.

  187. We find other kings that would do things that were

  188. sorely displeasing unto God.

  189. The reason why these things were happened is because somebody,

  190. brother Aaron.

  191. They did not put the devil under their heel. They

  192. did not attempt to.

  193. Bruise her the head of the devil.

  194. It seems some of them, when they became fool of

  195. pride and rich and increase with goods and felt like

  196. they needed nothing, they allowed the old serpent to come in.

  197. I hope by the time.

  198. I finished preaching, you realize that that serpent has a

  199. well worn path around every kingdom of this world, around

  200. every family within this world, and around every local congregation

  201. gathering worldwide. It's a creepy thing to be walking through

  202. the Everglades and to realize you're walking the path of

  203. a Burmese python. To the been tonight that somebody as

  204. they walk from the parking lot.

  205. Of a church wherever it's located, to.

  206. The front door, they noticed the paths of the serpent.

  207. Or come on now, I believe that serpent.

  208. Was first noticed after the deaths of David. We'll find

  209. that the serpent smithered in in the form.

  210. Of the beautiful women.

  211. And for the sake of politics, we find Solomon being

  212. wrapped in.

  213. The strong muscles of the serpent.

  214. Under this day, biblical scholars and the emosions of life

  215. debate a brother, not Solomon.

  216. Made into heaven.

  217. I do know that that on serpent succeeded in dividing.

  218. The family of God.

  219. I do know that that on serpent he clept in unawares.

  220. But after some time somebody found.

  221. The state skin, somebody found the symptom after serpent to

  222. have been there. Perhaps somebody discredited the identification on a serpent.

  223. I remember about twelve years ago. I was up late

  224. at night reading my Bible and praying, and soon after

  225. I fell asleep in the recliner and better Jesseie, I

  226. heard the Holy Ghost that gave me this message and

  227. the title of this message.

  228. Wake me up with these words, there's a supject in

  229. the house. And I remember being startled that. I looked around.

  230. Some of you are familiar with God speaking to you,

  231. but it is that of spoken.

  232. To you, you know when he speaks.

  233. And so I got up on my feet and I

  234. got to looking around. I knew the Holy Gess never

  235. misses it, and I knew the Holy Gess never lied.

  236. I looked around and I said, oh, well, if he

  237. was here, he's gone.

  238. Later on that day, Hey.

  239. Brother Jessie, early afternoon, your mother was just doing motherly things.

  240. And the bar of the house stains, and she goes

  241. to the fireplace, and upon the.

  242. Matter, she notices something about eight feet long.

  243. And she says to herself, and I'm happy to hear

  244. her as she says what she said? What did she say, Preacher?

  245. She said this?

  246. Wow, I said, big snake to be as big skin

  247. as that is.

  248. I wonder why here he put that there? Oh well,

  249. I'm cleaning her. And if he put it there, he's

  250. head in the house. If that fascinates him and he

  251. walks it there, then okay, whatever he wants her, I'm

  252. okay with it. I jumped out of that applied her head,

  253. and I said, Charity, what are you talking about? She said,

  254. this snake skinIn it runs from one another man or.

  255. To the other. Why did you put it there?

  256. I said, I didn't put it there. Hey, come on, now,

  257. the snake could come in and want a.

  258. Half in diameter.

  259. The hell he.

  260. Impressed them it's way in through the fireplace in the roll.

  261. I'm telling you that old stake came in up to

  262. David kingdom after his dad.

  263. And it gets to the flair that jose Ayah is

  264. raining and he looks.

  265. Around and by this time it's a bone y'all, I says.

  266. By this time, as Tarkas says, after Tarca says a victim.

  267. So I'm a circle.

  268. I'm telling you here tonight we know with the snake

  269. us come in the movement.

  270. We know of Winna Stay has taken churches. I'm killing

  271. somebody or not.

  272. You let ter say, sayannight, my good God, that's so

  273. Josiah at the age of eight.

  274. Do we have any child in this building tonight?

  275. Anywhere close to the age of eight? Is there one

  276. amongst us here tonight? Come here, brother Titus. I want

  277. you to stay focused while I'm preaching. But that little man,

  278. probably chunky and chubby, to eat like a king. Literally

  279. whatever he wanted was set before him.

  280. At the age of eight, a.

  281. Descendant of David, the sweet Somerstine puppy is for sitting

  282. in the kingdom, and the Bible said, after eight years

  283. they've made a discovery after eight years of raining.

  284. How old is he at this time?

  285. Sixteen? Is there brother in this house tonight?

  286. That's around the age of sixteen? Anybody brother Ethan? They're

  287. telling me, look at this, Oh, come on now, he

  288. is still.

  289. Probably chucky and chubby. He is inherited the throne of David.

  290. He is a powerful ruler over Judah.

  291. But he is seeing the symptoms and the sounds, but

  292. the sumpt and it realizes.

  293. The songs that they sing at church is not nearly

  294. as sweet.

  295. As a ota be he a naughty They talked about it,

  296. but my great grandpa, it's not there there like an atomy.

  297. He's not two of his time.

  298. So it in cries, oh trove.

  299. And the Bible said, he's cancelming. Got to looking through

  300. the clause that so to speak. And while rummaging.

  301. Through the clause that, wow, somebody.

  302. Presented the Book of All. Somebody presented the Word of God.

  303. Can I kill you? Just stay cold and dreckness.

  304. Strike, we will word of God.

  305. And he was thrown out yet again. They ain't get

  306. threatened by a young holiness preacher that.

  307. Decides it's time for reformation, it's time for spiritual restoration

  308. and renewal. Who are you, young representer. We've been in

  309. this a hole a lot longer than you have. Our

  310. smart eleant response could be, oh, so that's what's wrong.

  311. You didn't put the heel.

  312. To the serpent's head.

  313. Well, come on now, the first time one of them

  314. peg and kings brought their beautiful daughter into the court

  315. room of Solomon, Solomon should have stood up and said,

  316. sainting back to dust, this is not only the throat

  317. of my father, David, this is the troll room of

  318. the almighty God.

  319. I tell the people he is bailing tonight. You better

  320. put a heel on the head on a serpent and say, Satan,

  321. find it off. Well, preacher, we've got so much wisdom.

  322. We're gonna be careful with how we handle things. Wait

  323. a minute, you're gonna be careful with how you handle

  324. the serpent. You're gonna be careful with how you handle

  325. the serpent. The serpent's already got control of you, young man.

  326. Josiah, he decided his time for revival.

  327. He was interested in putting God first, not the kingdom,

  328. not the things of the throne, not his daily life.

  329. But he was ready for a season of revival and Reformation.

  330. And when these countrymen and minute God in his courts

  331. discovered this treasure.

  332. Oh yes, David had a master of fortune.

  333. He's rid of the treasuries of David and the superior

  334. treasuries of Solomon.

  335. Oh yes, Josiah.

  336. Had access to a lot of that, and no doubt for.

  337. The ripe business deals and the ripe de seasons because.

  338. Of the heart that he had to please the Lord.

  339. He could have replenished that the vault come on. But

  340. you know what, when they've told them was more. By

  341. then the transfers of Name and.

  342. And solently have found the word.

  343. Say, oh God, I'm telling people in this fielding the night,

  344. when will you discover the storehouses?

  345. O the Lord through the written word of God? O?

  346. When will you be a keeper of the law and

  347. alone with ivor to take place.

  348. In your life?

  349. The boy came began to reign at the age of age,

  350. waving everybody Titus, and he reigned for thirty one years.

  351. Do we have anybody near the age of thirty nine?

  352. Anybody who's that brother Gabriel, Come on up here, brother Gabril,

  353. the age of thirty nine. Now I'm telling you, you're

  354. getting the imagery anti y'all getting ambered to come over here,

  355. brother Gabel. By this time, he's no longer thinking like

  356. a child, He's no long understanding like at y'all.

  357. He understands somebody gotta do something about this.

  358. Serpent, because the more it feeds itself, and the more.

  359. We feed it, the bigger it gets. And I want

  360. you to know, ever.

  361. Since he splintered into the garden of even a much

  362. talling of the livestock and the other creatures.

  363. Of the field and the beasts of the fielder, he's

  364. been getting bigger. I said, he's seemed getting ben there.

  365. He's gonna come more something, He's gonna come.

  366. More devisle that I'm fell of life, Holiness teapot, there's.

  367. Time somebody who and realized as a curtain in the house.

  368. And it's time somebody house.

  369. A real genuine rud of God.

  370. There's so much talk Colia telling him at the heart

  371. and the Bibles, Josiah, did that which.

  372. Please the Lord? Did you ask how you could please

  373. the Lord?

  374. The night that you've got saved?

  375. I did.

  376. I've heard him now for eighteen years, ever since I

  377. comed on Alisa Linwood.

  378. She says it almost every service pleasing.

  379. Him is all the matters.

  380. How did chose high.

  381. Please the Lord?

  382. I said, how did you chose Hiah?

  383. Do?

  384. He did that?

  385. From must ride? Then he pleased the Lord. He treasured

  386. the word of God. Then he pleased the Lord.

  387. He kept the law of God.

  388. Then he pleased the Lord. He encourage reformation. They're holding

  389. us a sati vacation.

  390. Then he pleased her Lord.

  391. Another thing he.

  392. Did, He destroyed the idols of the serpent. I said,

  393. he destroyed the honors of the circle. And he got

  394. it all done before he's forty years old. In that text,

  395. in the eighth.

  396. Year of his reign, while he was yet young, he

  397. began to seek after God, and the Bible said.

  398. God of David.

  399. He began to seek after the God of David. Are

  400. y'all leave me?

  401. After eight years of reading, he got to walking around.

  402. That's about the age.

  403. About the Ethan, when our young people's sister Lord start

  404. asking questions and they start figuring out what his biblical

  405. holding us up and what are the traditions of men.

  406. When they start weighing.

  407. Out truth from lives, the truth from here, that's about

  408. to age and whenever all he was sitting done after

  409. much consideration and content place, he said, we need to

  410. please God.

  411. We need to please God.

  412. The way they forgive about how those that our.

  413. Immediate future did it, they are immediate past did. We

  414. need to go back to the ancient landmark. So we

  415. need to go back to our people.

  416. Please God, Young people, I hope to successfully demonstrate to

  417. you tonight that you have to sometimes put.

  418. Peer pressure under your hero and you have to speak

  419. to Satan.

  420. It's not that there's co workers or those fellow employees,

  421. or perhaps even those employers.

  422. It's not that they themselves are the serpent, but some

  423. of them are servants of the serpent, and some of them,

  424. unbeknownst to them, they are aren't workers of iniquity, and

  425. they have drained the serpent's poison, and they are walking around.

  426. In a trance and they don't realize just step exactly

  427. the road that they have chosen for themself or Sister,

  428. wouldn't hold your praying.

  429. For me tonight, because I've met upon in second to

  430. nine I've never.

  431. Had I feel like some young people and some young

  432. preacher's life are over line.

  433. You know what that means.

  434. When you're overlive, you're on.

  435. A pressipress Davis, decend, it's pail, I said, David, descend,

  436. it's pailed, because the spit plus him over the ass.

  437. I'd imagine that when Josie was a young boy, he

  438. figured out this doesn't look like things Popper would have

  439. laughed when they put him in that royal carriage and

  440. drove him about. I'm sure he realized these are things

  441. that our nurses told us to avoid. He started putting

  442. two and two the other and coming up before and when.

  443. They failed the word of God and the Lord.

  444. But the boy king was excited about this opportunity to

  445. please the Lord better feeling. He sought out to the

  446. God of David his father, not to God of Solomon,

  447. the God.

  448. Of Damon his father, and this the son of us.

  449. We do not claim to be the children of the

  450. same man. We've even gone so far to say, I

  451. can't call them.

  461. We've got brother Jonathan, look right here, how the Holy

  462. ghost is doing this by the age of twenty. This man,

  463. who no doubt was being pressured by counselmen of previous administrations.

  464. This young man that no doubt had received words of

  465. counsel from various sources, words of counsel.

  466. That conflicted with one another.

  467. But when he waited all out, he waited up against

  468. the word of God and the Bible set by the

  469. twelfth year.

  470. Four years later, after the eighth year, he was removing

  471. the high places dedicated to the pagan didy and idols.

  472. He was doing it himself, I said. He was doing

  473. it to himself.

  474. Hold the power of impu it, to hold the power

  475. of an example her.

  498. Somebody told me.

  499. That they got on YouTube. I don't ad a cat

  501. What they told me?

  502. They got on YouTube and watch them holding his churches

  504. it go? They said, well, not so well, said they

  505. brought in a big name preacher had a deacon walking

  506. around up just swinging his arms just a little bit,

  507. and said, the young people in the church God excited,

  508. especially one particular man, and he went.

  509. To weeping and crying and got in the pooping sin.

  510. We're having a mighty, mighty manifestation.

  511. Of the spirit, that a mighty move of God. You

  512. could hardly hear anybody shouting a venture shall you could

  513. undershee anybody.

  514. Running around the for us, or anybody truly denser in

  515. the spirit ho rearing.

  516. The church is a whole.

  517. Worship and a speaker in that heavenly languish. And that

  518. young person is so desperate.

  519. They're saying, we're having a a move of God. That's okay,

  520. j anxiety. You just keep on reading the Bible, and

  521. you just keep on lame with her the high cases

  522. and putting the mounder.

  523. Your feet and guarding it to the powder a master.

  524. May God first say, young man, make God help that God.

  525. I nobody's judge, but I know the symptoms of the serpent.

  526. I know what a stake has wrapped to himself around

  527. the neck of holiness and pentecost people.

  528. I know the genuine from the counterfeit.

  529. I know. And you know what that young preacher doesn't know.

  530. Them old and cold saints from the age.

  531. Of about thirty nine up, they all do know what

  532. it's like to have a genuine move of God.

  533. And they even knew very well what it was like

  534. to put on the ephod And I'm walking from the

  535. arca of the color. And I want to tell the

  536. young Josiah on about the Holiness Church and on the

  537. Holiness movement. Don't let fear person bother you. Just go

  538. ahead us and not the Reformation again.

  539. Had just go ahead and left the Reformation begin. Let

  540. them play church let one or two shouting them.

  541. Call it a mighty move of God. I'm not discrediting

  542. their experience, but it's gonna take more than that to

  543. keep our young people. It's gonna take more than that

  544. to be classified as a revived. I don't even think.

  545. Damnel Western nor Wester wouldn't believe that is the proper definition.

  546. How a revived or a spiritual awaken One deacon walking around.

  547. Just barely utter the praise. I'm telling you, Come on,

  548. jose I.

  549. He begin to see a.

  550. Spiritual reformation unfold. Because of his example and because of

  551. his leadership, jos I realize the nation that is forsaken God.

  552. It's on a path led to destruction. Josiah recognized, mister Howell,

  553. that just two or three chairs and raps bore, and

  554. we will cease to exist in hell. That hath enlarged

  555. itself of him's as Charles, we'll reposition its head and

  556. begin to devour. It was David that sent the song

  557. into the courtyard, and the chief musician took it by hand.

  558. And Psalm nine and seventeen.

  559. David p and these words, the wicked shall be turned

  560. into Hell, And all nations that pursuit God. We're not

  561. talking about the words or the writings of a pagan king.

  562. We're not talking about the words and the writings of

  563. another celebrity of Israel. We're talking about the writings of

  564. David to the nation of Israel, this nation and any

  565. other nation, for sakes and forgets God, they.

  566. Shall be turned into sell.

  567. Hell, a holding place where there's weeping, a holding place

  568. where there's sorrowle never in the belly of hell, waiting

  569. to be vomented, regurgitated, vomited into the lake of fire.

  570. That nation shall be turned into hell. How does that happen?

  571. When the serpent swallows? Shall that place?

  572. Brother Jeremiah, it's not the lake of fire, it's not

  573. the end of all things. It's the holding cell until

  574. the sentencing and the eternal damnation in the lake of fire.

  575. I'm telling you, once you get there, in the belly

  576. of the serpent, there is no exit. Once you get

  577. into the belly of a well, there may be an

  578. exit and a time of repentance, in a time of reformation.

  579. And but once the nation of Israel turns belly up.

  580. Come on, and they slide down in the unhids jaws

  581. of the serpent, there is no hope. I lose some

  582. listeners right there.

  583. The wicked shall be turned into Hell, and all the

  584. nations that forget God.

  585. You know how to forget what God said and forget.

  586. God by getting rid of the law books, by taking

  587. them and putting them somewhere else. I'm telling you, I've

  588. heard holiness of Pentecostal preachers, and I'm not against them,

  589. but they ain't holdin us, and they're not Pentecostal when

  590. they won't take a text they're reading the Bible. Whenever

  591. they rely on some illustrations, it may or may not

  592. be true whether they have three points of.

  593. A poem and a song.

  594. I'm telling you, if we need more than that, you

  595. gotta cast down the idols. I said, somebody's got to

  596. sanctify themselves and separate themselves from this world.

  597. Unto God who wrote that.

  598. And Josi would have noticed my grandpapa David this week,

  599. so mist of Israel. Don't you think he was inspired? Joseie,

  600. I have no doubt at all about it. And if

  601. it happened to them, it's gonna happen to us. And

  602. you know what, Joel jumped up and said. Josigh jumped

  603. up and said, it ain't happening today, Devi or not here.

  604. It ain't happening in my house. You drugged that television

  605. into your house.

  606. You better drag it out. You drug that they'll pollis

  607. into your house. You better drag it out, sister.

  608. You drug your.

  609. Scissors and clippers into your house, you better drag it out.

  610. Come on, I'm telling you, I'll kill the hold of

  611. ghost in this house. This is gonna be a life

  612. or death surface for somebody.

  613. It's uncle, you're talking on me.

  614. David had cautioned his people and warned them even as

  615. I'm doing now, brother Stare. He had warned them of

  616. becoming disconnected from the Lord. Wouldn't it be a terrible

  617. thing to stand in the presence of God and him

  618. addresses personally as a stranger depart from me. I never

  619. knew you, Oh oh God, but you moved up and

  620. down in our church services.

  621. You walk their ours. You even walked to the back

  622. of our pus. Oh, come on.

  623. David reminded Israel and all nations that God is watching.

  624. God is present, God is omnive, present at all times.

  625. He's omniscient, He's all knowing, and I want you to

  626. know you can't give ah. Ignoring your connection with God.

  627. Ignoring God ultimately leads to great loss and eternal ruin.

  628. Children ignore your parents long enough.

  629. And it's going to lead to disciplinary action and people

  630. ignoring the word of God and what God said.

  631. He did know what to do good, and do it

  632. that not to human of sin.

  633. These people that get upset with a holiness preacher for

  634. preaching on sanctification and separation, I've already sat in a

  635. little while ago. Our coworkers and our family members, our friends,

  636. and our phones are not the serpents, and they are

  637. not our number one nemesis, nor are they the number

  638. one adversaries of our soul.

  639. They are not altogether totally responsible.

  640. But with calls, the vittom of the serpent is coursing

  641. through their veins.

  642. We cannot fool it. Trust them or y'all saying amen?

  643. Right now how long to hear crickets preaching that crickets

  644. are preaching better than your saying. Amen, ours of the

  645. Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.

  646. It's not only the land of the Amaritis, not only

  647. in the temple of the Buddhist.

  648. His eyes are not only prayers in the worship postles

  649. of Harry Christna. His eyes are not only press that

  650. come on how there the shrines or the temples of Islama.

  651. His eyes are present in the house of Kada. The

  652. eyes of the Lord go to and pro throughout the earth.

  653. And I want you to know God's eyes we're looking

  654. on that day that even decided to have a conversation

  655. with the devil. The Bible said, of evil communications of

  656. a corrupt good lenders.

  657. Evil, you should have bruised his head. That's my God

  658. later told you what to do.

  659. When he first opened his mouth, and when that double

  660. tongue come out about a stable soula.

  661. You should have put a heeler on his head.

  662. When that preacher corners you, young preacher, and tells you

  663. you don't have to preach, hold us every service, that's interesting.

  664. I had to be a closed line preacher around here

  665. for a pretty good while.

  666. I haven't necessarily named any outward of standard of holding

  667. us until the last week or two.

  668. You know why, because when we needed to do it,

  669. we did it.

  670. Preacher, you need to open your eyes. You can't see

  671. from the pressure of the muscle.

  672. Of the serpent. Try to round your head. There's so

  673. much press head you can't even thay cry. I said

  674. it up, there's so much pressure.

  675. Hold your head up.

  676. You cannot even thy cry.

  677. God.

  678. David reminded Israel, the Israel, just like all nations, God's

  679. watching them. And you know what, if we start thumbing

  680. up our nose to God and ignoring him, we're going

  681. to end up in eternal Ruin Exodus twenty and three,

  682. don't you'll remember that thou shalt have no other gods

  683. before me, brother Air. In the next couple verses, God

  684. divine exactly what they're to do and what they're not

  685. to do.

  686. He said, don't you bow down before them lifeless dumb rocks.

  687. You know what, when Jesus was walking or riding the

  688. mule into the tempot and he threatened them leaders of

  689. Judy is or with the rocks crying out to every

  690. idol that somebody had that was fashioning at a stone

  691. to begin saying, I ain't.

  692. God stupid, I ain't God that right there writing in

  693. the Jerusalem. He is the ultimate.

  694. Descendant of David that we all off, the parlophone, the

  695. one that will put the hill.

  696. Ahead, the one that we will say say to the

  697. back to us.

  698. I'm just a little bit quiet with two or three

  699. of you. Are you nervous? And I'm my nam second.

  700. We were out for the first thirty minutes. Hey Marion,

  701. I'm not done preaching yet unless you're done. Should I

  702. be finished preaching or keep preaching?

  703. God said, thou.

  704. Shalt have no other gods before me.

  705. That's boyfriends, girlfriends, postman's wife's.

  706. Career paths, careers, career chances. Well, come on now, knowing

  707. the God's will call me.

  708. And Josiah came to an understanding and a very important

  709. truth that the Lord deserves nothing less than total devotion

  710. and commitment from us those who claim to be his people.

  711. Joseih I knew, Brother Aaron Wood, We're gonna have to

  712. put the heel to the head.

  713. Here's somebody you need to put.

  714. The pedal to the medal.

  715. You need to put the heel to the head and say, Satan,

  716. you are a liar. Just have to insist. Went after

  717. back door.

  718. She I mean all of y'all were fellowship, and we

  719. had fellowship for about ten minutes, and after preaching heart

  720. I was thirsty, in hungry.

  721. I didn't bully her. I've never blown the horn at her,

  722. not one time in my life.

  723. In patience, I was sitting in there in that vehicle

  724. wait for her to come, and just two or three

  725. minutes later she came in. She said, honey, I'm sorry.

  726. She planted one on my lips.

  727. She said, my, my, my, what kind.

  728. Of preaching was that this morning? That was wonderful? And

  729. then she said I knew you were in the car.

  730. I said, how did you know that? She said, I

  731. heard it the second you.

  732. Fired it up.

  733. She said, our vehicle has a power about it. There's

  734. something about it rumbles and it roars. It's not an

  735. old vehicle. We're not about to blow the motor up.

  736. But med conversation, your mother knew that expedition had fired up.

  737. Oh, come on, I know the sounds of rain. I

  738. know when I was singing.

  739. Un it's a brain. I know when I see a

  740. real move of God that brings change. I know when

  741. God powers it up. I know when somebody puts us

  742. supret charge.

  743. Of under the hood. I know when there's a real

  744. mourner underneath the hood that's got a lot of power.

  745. Come on, now, I'm coming you, your man.

  746. You just keep saying we'll having a.

  747. Moon of God, and you keep perching apparentily, you keep

  748. purching the home, and you keep purching.

  749. The aus of God, and you will have a.

  750. Revival Isaiah forty two and eight. God, speaking through Isaiah

  751. the prophet, God said, I.

  752. Am the Lord that is my name. I am the

  753. Lord that is my name. God doesn't care about your opinions.

  757. A little holdin us tonight. It's you've got some.

  758. For cared to me the preacher like I used to.

  759. But you know what, an't I'll have to preach it

  760. as much.

  761. As I used to because we uphold a standard upholding

  762. us here.

  763. But if we didn't, we preach it not. But what

  764. I am telling you that on serpent he'll come in,

  765. he'll come into the kingdom of David. He'll come into

  766. the kingdom of Jonathan, He'll come into the kingdom of Justine,

  767. He'll come into the kingdom of Jeremiah.

  768. And God said, I am the Lord, that is my

  769. name and my glory. Will I not give to another

  770. neither my praise.

  771. The silly graving images. I will not give my praise

  772. to graven images. This man's God's not gonna allow you

  773. to go bow.

  774. Before graving image the cause of He's not even gonna.

  775. Let you get by with that. Why that calls that's

  776. so silly, that's so stupid. He's gonna prove to you

  777. you're wasting your time.

  778. You're wasting your time. You're wasting your time. You ever

  779. heard young people say.

  780. Well, I feel like I've been wasting my time because.

  781. There's nothing here. There's no power God here, there's no

  782. standard here. Nobody stands for anything. Things they used to

  783. hate and.

  784. They now loved.

  785. Things they used to love, They now hate.

  786. Things they used to preach against and now allow it

  787. all begin with tolerance. Because we have the fellowship, this

  788. church of from now or this church of reputation. Hey,

  789. come on, this church of reputation, Brother Jesse, and so

  790. they cave to peer pressure.

  791. Hey, God will not he give his Lord to another,

  794. now own pastor.

  795. God will I give his glory to another? This a

  796. young person.

  797. If there's something or someone pulling you away from the Lord,

  798. it's time to break away from it, whatever or whoever

  799. it is. I don't hang out with friends after work.

  800. I had a very powerful businessman message me late last

  801. night on my personal time, a very powerful businessman that

  802. owns over one hundred businesses. He said, mister Howell, would

  803. you mind having a teleconference tomorrow.

  804. Here's what I said.

  805. No, I've got to go to church all day long

  883. They tell them in money needs a way your mony?

  884. Bay did I say that?

  885. He said, A have the Lord not this my name?

  886. My daughter the marble, said Josiah, make dust of him.

  887. And he took them littles with.

  888. Out boys and girls and moms and dance and said,

  889. oh is this The grains are those in passing the studies?

  890. Are these? The grains are those that were the elders

  891. and the leaders in the Churchill, Well here's these they're idols.

  892. And Moses did to Satang after that, out of this

  893. preacher Aaron. He told them that tim Golden Castle, that

  894. they passed them in their own hands.

  895. Were the counselt Colorado, he's up to Moses and our

  896. sol Zil. These are not the concept. Then they pull

  897. horized them and they pounded him. They killed them, were powdered.

  898. And if I said, Moses Castle, that gold dust on

  899. the water, and he said, Drake dray cat sat.

  900. Backadie, tear down.

  901. Drop that TV out. You don't matter that.

  902. Front, that make up kid out, you know, matter than that.

  903. What they love to tell us is this, well, we've

  904. come to understand now that we've got a younger, new pastor,

  905. we've come to understand that not everybody was raised by us.

  906. And so what they do They come permissive.

  907. And they become tolerant, and you know what, they're afraid

  908. to testify, and they're afraid to encourage, and they're afraid

  909. to stand where they want study hall in the name

  910. of waiting on people to grow up, all in the

  911. name of waiting on people to developed, all in the

  912. name of patience.

  913. And some of them said, well, I didn't get here

  914. home or not, Well, you did get here by sanctification.

  915. You didn't get here by separation from the spirit of

  916. the world. You didn't get here under the leadership and

  917. the stewardship the great men of God, that we're not

  918. afraid to preach what that saith God.

  919. I'm telling you, somebody better get a.

  920. Big fat log with of what concept. And there to

  921. the little more preacher and say, Rader, you don't want

  922. the consequences of sin, read the book.

  923. You don't want the consequences of bad decisions and choicess,

  924. read the book.

  925. The serpent made dust of Eve.

  926. Literally, the serpent made dust of Eve and her husband Adam,

  927. literally the dust of the ground that they were fashioned of.

  928. She literally allowed the serpent to return them to the dust.

  929. They were to never ever returned to the dust. And

  930. now every member within humanity that is not raptured in

  931. some way, as some in the Bible have been, as

  932. some later might will be.

  933. You know what they eat the dust.

  934. Just as that serpent have been cursed to crawl, It

  935. crawls on the earth. If it opens its mouth the

  936. slightest bit, the dust of the ground feels that mouth,

  937. and that double tongue, slithering tongue runs in and out

  938. the rid of the dust. But you know, what's the

  939. problem with allowing the big python to wrap itself around

  940. these churches and around these families and these lives. Slowly

  941. but surely, it's like a pressure vessel in distress. As

  942. the pressure increases, the victim and the bones of the

  943. prey begin to break. Smallest bones first, pinky bones break,

  944. before finger bones break.

  945. Ankle bones break before jaw bones break.

  946. Our babies start breaking, our teenagers start breaking off, they

  947. start breaking away.

  948. Brother, would they never have looked at it.

  949. As spiritual eyes as Josiah did, and realize when their

  950. youth group broke off and broke away, is because they

  951. allowed to start that.

  952. To constrict and restrict, constrict.

  953. And you know what, brother Samuel, the more they breathe

  954. in and the more passive they become, and the more

  955. relaxed they are, the tight of the grip they've set

  956. before that. If somebody grabs you and they start binding

  957. you with rope, they said, get airspace between you. Have

  958. as much airspace as you can between them arm pits,

  959. and try to bow them elbows out that way. When

  960. they're done binding you, you've.

  961. Got rooms grow and room to move.

  962. And adyse Criminal he knows just to bring it on

  963. in and pull it on in tight. I feel like

  964. God has just revealed to me that there's some young people,

  965. whether present tonight or maybe listening, or might listen ten

  966. years from now, there's some young people.

  967. You've been talking to the wrong crowd, and already you've

  968. been tempted to try something you know you should not trip.

  969. It doesn't matter if it's the serpent's head or the

  970. serpent's tail.

  971. Being anywhere near that beast was dangerous.

  972. Well, I got the world by the tail. I got

  973. the serpent by the tail. All it takes is for

  974. you to turn your head.

  975. I'm gonna talk about to cool. I I don't know about.

  976. The surf made dust of Adam and Eve because she

  977. wouldn't break off evil communication. Literally sin came in brother Nathaniel,

  978. ultimately leading to death. It took its toll, and now

  979. every minister stands graveside of people's dearest loved ones and

  980. recites the haunting words.

  981. As she's to as death to dust. All because of

  982. the Circit all because of the circuit one conversation with

  983. a serpent.

  984. Eve shouldn't have lost that close fellowship with her husband

  985. and her God.

  986. She should have left the serpent in her dust. You

  987. ever heard of somebody running away so fast that they say,

  988. eat my dust? They say I left them in the dust.

  989. Young person, you better flee like Joseph did they when

  990. he went in to potiphys.

  991. Houss and that unholy woman they were wold of his

  992. holy cate.

  993. The Bible said, he didn't just passively dismiss himself.

  994. He fled out of the house.

  995. I know what I'm feeling in my soul right now,

  996. young preacher, You better disfellowship somebody.

  997. I am for unification as long as it's within the

  998. will of God.

  999. I'm for fellowship as long as it benefits our young people.

  1000. I'm for communication with holy people of God. But you

  1001. bet at this fellowship those that are not upholding truth.

  1002. I don't care what their last name is.

  1003. I'm not gonna be having somebody of a renowned situation

  1004. come preach for us just hoping that they're reciprocate.

  1005. A lot of preachers are doing that.

  1006. They don't realize they're walking right into the holy of

  1007. the Serpent, and they don't realize.

  1008. When they come in and the serpents eyes glaze over

  1009. and say, in tonight, just walked a gunnable nave.

  1010. Your preacher, Matthew ten fourteen told us how to handle this,

  1011. Sister Hill.

  1012. Jesus told the.

  1013. Apostles, said, you're gonna go somewhere and you're gonna preach,

  1014. and they're not gonna receive your word. They're not gonna

  1015. accept what you preach. And Jesus said, and whosoever shall

  1016. not receive it.

  1017. Nor hear your words, when you depart out of that

  1018. house or city, shake off the dust or your feet.

  1019. And I don't want to say this, when you depart

  1020. out of their house, their city, or their church, or

  1021. they don't.

  1022. Want to hear words of truth, plainly spoken. They don't

  1023. want to hear.

  1024. Messages of truth and righteousness and holiness, even if they

  1025. are family members.

  1026. I'm not sacred saying.

  1027. Make enemies of them, but I will say this, their father,

  1028. the serpent, and their enemies of your soul. And according

  1029. to Jesus, when your words, which are His words, are

  1030. not received, you like the dust off your feet.

  1031. That's a hard thing for me to do. I know

  1032. it was a hard thing for me to do too.

  1033. When God sent me into an.

  1034. Area where there had been an old holiness work and

  1035. I labored for two years and even allowed the family

  1036. that shouldn't have charged rent for a property that didn't

  1037. on a community church, for a church that had had

  1038. a service in ten years, that literally had become a

  1039. lizard's and a right and mice and cock roots dend.

  1040. Sister Whop said, Amen, it's the truth.

  1041. In a church where the sign was twenty five or

  1042. thirty years old.

  1043. A church at the pews on ends had bleached white

  1044. because nobody cared one thing about that house.

  1045. I had to a live dorment for years.

  1046. I think I've been told ten years before they had

  1047. another serious service.

  1048. We walked in, we dusted off the pews. The smell

  1049. in there was so rich and of a spiritual, wicked serpent.

  1050. Sister how walked around spraying perfume before we opened service.

  1051. That church went from having nobody to having fifty that

  1052. morning that we held and conducted service. But Brother Aaron Wood,

  1053. the serpent didn't want to release its grip on that church,

  1054. I said, the serpent didn't want to release its grip

  1055. on that church and or control of that church. After

  1056. two years after a service just like this one tonight, after.

  1057. Being in the presence of the Holy Ghost. After a superly.

  1058. Charged, highly annointed service, just simply softening with sweat, I

  1059. walked to the back when in my office and closed

  1060. the door, and I bound my head and I prayed

  1061. like I do every time I get done preaching, and

  1062. I said, thank you Lord for your anointing, for without

  1063. you I couldn't do anything.

  1064. I thank him for gracing me with your spirit.

  1065. I'm thank you for the sweet Holy Ghost coming by,

  1066. and Brother jere Min immediately of weeping spirit come upon me.

  1067. I cried for twenty minutes.

  1068. I told Sister Howell, I said, this has only happened

  1069. one other time in my ministry, and every time it happens,

  1070. it's of spiritual significance, and a lot of people lose

  1071. their life spiritually. The very next service, we were having

  1072. church business as usual, and the Holy Ghost spoke for

  1073. a tongue and interpretation and a word of prophecy went forth,

  1074. and members of that community that had been associated with

  1075. that holiness work that we're no longer faithful to church,

  1076. certainly not faithful to that church, no longer interested and

  1077. sanctified living.

  1078. They pulled up in the church yard. Immediately after the

  1079. Holy Ghost.

  1080. Spoke, I saw eyes of a serpent in the form

  1081. of two headlights through the window.

  1082. As I stood there, I saw them eyes through the window.

  1083. Alone.

  1084. He came the serpent. As soon as I dismissed. They

  1085. walked to the front and said, Pastor, howe, you're a

  1086. great guy.

  1087. You're over here to the right. We're over here to

  1088. the left. Can we come together. We're gonna ask you

  1089. one last time? Can we meet in the middle?

  1090. And I said no.

  1091. I've even paid you to have church here for two years,

  1092. as high as a thousand a month.

  1093. They didn't care about the money. They didn't want hold

  1094. in this stead.

  1095. I told the keys of that building out of my

  1096. pocket some days later and I said, here's the keys

  1097. to your church, and I drove off. I'm not done preaching.

  1098. I gave it to him, and we wouldn't have church

  1099. in a store front. Power of God fell and moved.

  1100. In a mighty way.

  1101. We found out that God was with us.

  1102. We found out no matter where we met, God was

  1103. with us. And thanks be to God most everybody that

  1104. was there, for not everybody went with us. But I

  1105. let them have their little community holiness church. I wasn't

  1106. gonna fight for it.

  1107. No no, sir, no, ma'am. I prayed it through, gave

  1108. them their keys.

  1109. Back, Sure did, Sure did. I quit fighting over it,

  1110. just let them have it. After about three or four months,

  1111. Brother Jeremiah.

  1112. Wasn't that long. Brother Jeremiah told me the other day he.

  1113. Said, I've never forgot it, and I wasn't even thinking

  1114. about this when the Holy Good spoke to us into

  1115. my heart.

  1116. He said, Dad, I'll never forget. How old were you.

  1117. He said, probably sixteen, Brother Ethan's age. He said, you'd

  1118. come home and you said to the family. God spoke

  1119. to my heart today to do something. I've never done

  1120. it before.

  1121. I told him. I said, bye, no, oh, it's of God.

  1122. And I said, I'm gonna wait until this evening, and it's.

  1123. Gonna break my heart to do it, but I'm gonna

  1124. drive that twenty five thirty minute drive out there. I

  1125. want you to wanna stay in the vehicle, and I

  1126. am gonna get out and do something. And that was

  1127. the end of the conversation. Didn't speak with my children

  1128. and my wife at all about it. Didn't try to

  1129. explain anything to the younger ones and sister Walker. I

  1130. got out, walked to the front door, and I said, nevertheless, the.

  1131. Kingdom of God has come nine to you. And I

  1132. started crying.

  1133. And then I turned and walked, and the Holy Goods said,

  1134. the second time, walped the dust off your feet
