Children At Play - Bro Jeremy Howell 4-13-2025

Of my heart. If you'll look with me to the

Book of Judges. May I direct your attention to the

second chapter and verses number eighteen and nineteen. Brother Nathaniel,

would you read Proverbs chapter number twenty nine and verse

number fifteen, And Brother Jesse, Exodus chapter number thirty two,

versus numbers point through ten. There will be some lengthy

reading while Brother Jesse is reading tonight. I want you

all to listen carefully to the words of what our

brother is reading to us tonight, Brother Nathaniel, the rod

and reproof give wisdom. When a child left to himself

bringeth his mother to s Have many of you believe that,

if it's the word of God, you ought to believe it,

a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.

Let's look what happened when some children of God, who

had been under the leadership of Moses decided to take

matters into their own hands. Children at play brought Exodus

chapter number thirty two, verses one three, ten.

And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come

down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves to

gather unto aaron and set unto him up.

Make us gods which shall go before us.

For as for this Moses, the man that brought us

up out of the land of Egypt, we want.

Not what has become of him. And Aaron said unto.

Them, break off the golden earrings which are in the

ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters.

And bring them to me. And all the people break

off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and

brought them unto Erin. And he received them at their

hand and.

Fashioned it with a graving tool, and he had made

it a molten calf.

And they said, these be.

The gods o Israel which brought thee up out of

the Egypt.

And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it.

And Aaron made proclamation and said, tomorrow is a feast

to the Lord. And they rose up early on tomorrow

and offered burnt offerings and brought peace offerings.

And the people sat down to eat and to drink,

and rose up to play, and rose up to play.

It was no time to play. I want to preach

a message. The Holy Ghost titled children at play. And

Sister Elizabeth, the Holy Ghost just brought this divine.

You to our wonderful daughter in law when I saw

that picture that come in of little Aida in that bonnet,

and she let us.

Know, popa Bema, we are praying for y'all. My soul

just flooded with joy. God has blessed us with some

beautiful daughter in laws. And as Sister Hawi said, they

are jewels. Let's stay for the reading of our gold intents. Judges,

Chapter number two, Verses number eighteen and nineteen. And when

the Lord raised them up, Judges, then the Lord was

with the judge. Let me read that again. Then the

Lord was with the judge. Should I read it again?

Then the Lord was with the judge, and delivered them

out of the hand of their enemies all the days

of the judge, and delivered them out of the hand

of their enemies all the days of the judge. For

repented the Lord because of their groanings, by reason of

them that oppressed them and vexed them. And it came

to pass when the Judge was dead, and they returned

and corrupted themselves more than their fathers, in following other

gods to serve them and to bow down unto them.

They ceased not from their own doings nor from their

stubborn ways. The parallel text the cotext of this, as

Moses has gone up into the mountain to pray, not

many days after he has gone up into the mountain

to pray, that you'red of Israel begin to play. And

that's what God is telling these men here. You all

are not taking things as serious as you should. Let's pray,

Heavenly Father, we love it, we praise you. We thank

you for the opportunity to be in your house tonight.

I pray that you would annoy it this nice servant

set of God at my mouth. Help me to say

the things that you would have me to say, nothing

more or less annoying the ears of this thin people,

that they might hear what it is the Spirit of

God says unto the church tonight. May these sayings go

below the shoulders God, May the saturate the spirit, the soul,

the body.

God.

I pray that we were to see these words joyfully

we hear in heed, and we'd give you the praise

and honored and glory. May we depart this place joyfully

in Jesus' name. In the church said Amen, look at

your neighbor and say, hey, neighbor, are you playing church

or have in church? Amen? Our text is found in

an Old Testament book of the Holy Bible, the Look

of Judges, the Bible readers and students present to I

know this to be a biblical writing and a record

of men and women of valor who were raised up

by the Lord to deliver his people from their enemies.

After that they had played with sin and played amongst

the presence of sinners, and had company with sinners. Then

they would fall on their knees and enter a time

of repentance, and with brokenness, they would cry out unto

the Lord for mercy. I'm a God that is rich

in mercy and who has grace abundant, who would respond

with a remedy for their malady, and he would send

them a person again. He would send them a person

that would be raised up amongst their peers, that would

do the commands of God, and that would commit mighty

exports in the presence of their own people, in order

to bring deliverance to the people of God from the

hands of their enemies. By the strength of the Lord

alone and by the anortent of God, these men and

a woman were able to do great and mighty things.

Their acts were amazing. They do not pale in comparison.

One bent to the acts of the apostles. Those men

who had been empowered by the power of God above.

The sweet Holy ghosts had possessed them apostles, and they

had done many notable miracles in the presence of their

peers and contemporaries, because of the indubement and the empowerment

of the Holy Ghost. But when you cross the bridge

that is laid between Matthew and Malachin, and you venture

back into the book of Judges, and you look upon

these specially highly annoyed men of God, you will find

that they came in the name of the Lord. They

were not yet possessed by the Holy Ghost, as the

apostles were, but judges nameless. Samson, he was moved upon

by the power of God. And because he had been

moved upon, Brother Nathaniel, he was able to commit great

feats in the name of the Lord, things that were

considered to be support. God helped him make them possible.

How many of you know the Bible says it's in

Him we.

Live and move and have our being praise the Lord.

This means, by the grace of God, we have breath

and our body, and we have come into existence. It's

only by the goodness and the grace of God that

you have power in.

Those bulls, power to raise.

Up those arms and elevate those hands, power, pneumatic power

in those loans, in order to breathe in and out

the praises of God. How many of you know that

with every breath you pull over you in hell, you

ought to say.

G love in of God and times.

And when you exhale, you ought to say, well, that

came forth by the grace and the goodness of God.

No doubt that these men were recognizable not because of

their stature, not because of their natural street, but because

of their spiritual stature and their spiritual street. There is

no doubt at all during this time period that there

were men whose lives were touched by the hand of God.

When they were performing these mighty acts in the name

of the Lord, everybody knew. The figure of God can

be found to be present and working to these men's advantage,

just as the great Apostles who had traveled with Jesus.

After the empowerment and the amuvement of the Holy Ghost,

people would marvel, and they would say the explanation for

these exploitss. These men have been with Jesus, and these

men have been possessed.

By the power of the Holy Ghost.

On a regular basis. I pray these words, God, I

am not afraid at all to tell you to possess

me by the power of the Holy Ghost, take possession

over my bed. Let the Holy Gus come.

In and throw jear me howl out.

I want you to possess me. I don't want to

be possessed by any other thing, no other spirit at

all than that third part of the Godhead, that third person.

I want him to possess my bed, because if he

takes possession, he has taken controlling and if he's in control,

it will be to my advantage. The Bible said that

the spirit of God would move upon these Old Testament

judges and within these New Testament apostles, these memmoralspstals of claim.

They would be used by God to lead people into victories.

And if these men were leading people or come on,

then they must have been a leader. Sir. There's a

lot of people alive today that have authority issues. They

do not know how to properly respective people and positions

of authority both naturally and spiritually. We must conclude that

these great bit of God were leaders over God's people.

If they were judges, these men were leaders. There was

a time that a woman named Ever was deemed to

be a leader. It was the Early Church. There are

leaders of the Early Church, and today God has placed

certain people in your life that are to be your leaders,

not only spiritually but naturally. A lot of you work

with people that are perceived to be the leader of

that business, the company, or the organization wherein.

You are employed.

There are navy sailors tonight aboard a ship that the

United States Federal government has commissioned, and those soldiers are

subject to the leadership of the commander. I am told

it sometimes when you go out fishing, that you are

to be totally in subjection to the captain of that vessel.

I've been told even if you get a private fishing

charter boat and that captain takes you off shoulder, that

in that moment, everybody should understand that he is a

lie to do whatever he tells he needs to do

in order to keep every person aboard that vessel's safe insecure.

I want you to know that God had commissioned men

in the days of the churches that would rise up

among their peers of contemporaries, and they would do things

that ordinary men could not do because they had been

called and commissioned.

By the Lord of Glory.

That's why they were able to do the things that

they weren't doing. Sister, how well they were as spiritual

authorities in these people's life. In those days, there was

no king in Israel, and everybody was wanting to.

Do what was right in their all on the.

Side they wanted to go the way that they wanted

to go. The nation of Israel wasn't divided else and

it was sure not to stand. Literally, that house was

not beyond a foundation. It was built on the sand.

In the wilderness. They wondered, they've done whatever they wanted

to do. They wondered aimlessly through this life. But these

individuals would receive street and power.

For the Lord to tell these people.

Come together yourselves together, corect the sense of God.

The believers of Johome, and pull.

Him into the congregation. Nobody should be an outsider, nobody

should be tripped in a way in this meeting place

here where we are gathered together. And people would notice

that these individuals they received streets.

And power from the Lord who.

One time, when Moses came in to the company of

the people of God, they looked upon his messager and

the barber sitting his faith with his face was.

A glow with a glory of God.

They did not desire to see the face of God

as Moses had desired. And in fact, when they saw

and glorified face of Moses, they were not satisfied to

see you such a thing. In fact, it was disappointing

for them to see the signs of somebody and being

with God. There could be people in this field in

the night, and they faint tenser. There's nothing more than

a game.

But when they.

See somebody really to captivated by the prayersence of God,

and somebody gets tucked into.

The glory plied with God.

When that person comes down to the speaker from the

spiritual mountain, when they come down from the heights in

the summer time a sword and reached to brother the thrangled.

There's some people you'll look and say, I wish the use.

That glue, I wish that use that marry.

It's cute, ride them.

Alive, and we can't all be like that. We can't

all have that kind of an order.

Listen, you have never kidding. It's known as your ten

games in the saving things a hearing, so fill a mara,

God's Altromethan costails. You will never get.

To your auty if you're at home.

Twin of them his son. So you're a man of God.

He's climbing the mountain, Well, you will never get tall

him nothing a man of God now, and that's.

You too, were now to climb a mountain. I've done

somebody in this building a night.

There's still a child and playing. I said, your still

a child.

Way most people in.

The company, how the Israelites, whether it was in the

time of the Judges, or in the days of the Apostles,

or in the congregation about the horness Church, most people

would have said, there's a recognizable force at work. And

it cannot be the force of demons. It cannot be

the force of emotion and height. It cannot be the

force of adreadae, because the adreading and would not produce

such everlasting results as what has been produced. The dead

would not be raised and the cancers would not be cured.

Brother Philip's case is not the first case of cancer

being cured had to beck a hornless church. How much

you to know, Nord, is it to last the case

that our Lord will take up and perform a lunless

leader and miraculously concerned. There was a divine force operating

in a life of Sensing. There was a divine course

operating in a life of Moses. There was a divine

force operating in a life for m Giddy and Peter,

change John and Paul. And I'm want asking you deny.

Are you who will it to Paul in line as

jossing it in behind Moses? And are you willing to

following in line as elcedear Elizah. It's a side, really,

I followed a man. He's a really design in your

heart to see the blessing. We're getting a lot.

Uncle Grandpa, hold the man.

I wonder how many times Eliza recap and give it

a little tug and ask God give it to me,

and listen. God does not give you anything you knew,

not desire. He said, if you want it, to seek.

It, if if you let it off, it to knock you.

See. While Moses was in the mountain, Joshua was with

an earshot Joshua was nearby. It wasn't only that he

was provided security for the national leader of the Israelites

name and meek shepherd Pastor Moses. It wasn't that he

was provided personal security only. It wasn't that he wasn't

only it wasn't that he was guarding him from the

sheep had come on the bears of the goatza or

any type of creature. How many of you have ever

s them big rams, them sheep that had them big

horns on them, and one blow in the back of

Moses would have been crippling.

If one of them rams.

Had to wear it up on their hind lensl and

bury them horns up in the back of Moses. It

would have been crippling. If when donkey had a bunk,

if one horse had a reared up and come down

on Moses and come on. Joshua was not only protecting

Moses from bodily harm. Joshua must putting one punter who

rat when Moses had put years? And what about two

little children they put their feet in the put prince

a mom and daddy. What a great general Joshua was,

But he was not ashamed of a spiritual leader this generation.

They don't like the idea of putting the punter in

the putstep of another rod. They don't like the idea

of being subject.

To spiritual AFFI till I tell.

You, without subjection to spiritual acardy, there will not be

spiritual development, I said, without subjection to spiritual acarity, there

will not be spiritual development. That day, the apostle Paul

showed up to school in con may your schoolhouse. He

did not stand in the back corner with his arms

crossed her.

He got down at the feeta of.

A great chameleon.

An apostle Paul school.

Himself and the learning what you days of it. I

want you to know to talent samples for people in

this building, and showed you how to seat.

Dater and showed you how to time about.

It, and show you how to do what you need

to do.

Why Holy, why have you not known?

But it's a spiritual learning disability. I said that it's

a spiritual learning stability. By the unwillingness to do what

stunts your party said. Paul no doubt became a superstar

within the religion of Judaism. In fact, he was count

and faithful by the Sanhedrin before the apostles considered him

to be faithful in the ministry of Jesus. The truth

of the matter is the Lord you. He was a

faithful man, had little things as well as big things

before he stole them from the Sanhedrin's team. How sad

when Jesus started stealing them. He started taking the matter

change and John's father's fishing boat. He stole James's boys.

Come on, then he went in there and stole one

of the recruits of the Roman Empire. He walked in

there and put Matthew the breech buider between the Old

and the New Testament, the world that would have story.

That's all.

Come on, I'm telling you. These men have been continued

to send it to Fiza of things that were greater,

and they developed to name Matury. But it's a sad

thing to think that I'm being like her and could

be considered to be the best speaker. And to Moses said,

I need some man that's a better orator. I need

somebody that can say the sentence was a little bit

better than God's city married. But when it come time

to stand for Truda.

Who didn't come time to tell what God.

Said that man was unable to stand there and killing rock.

I want you to know it was Moses's brother that

Moses proceeded to be a natural or a leader or

a natural board speaker, and it was nothing. We're a

call at a lead the people of God. Listen that

just because you're a preacher, a self called momasey preacher,

doesn't make you pastor material. I see these preachers that

come from Bethel. They don't get the preacher of the

period of two months. They pretty soon they're trying to

pave out of course in a path or ministry. I'll

tell you where ministries to begin. Ministry opportunities developed and

evolve in little towns. They show up in nursing homes.

They present themselves on street colders. My soul was bested

today as I saw a ministry team from the Mother

Holy this church in the highways and the hedges compelling

in the comea Isn't it ironic then Aaron did not

feel the need to go to prayer meeting. Isn't it ironic?

Then Air didn't feel the need to go halfway up

the mountain? There? Isn't it ironic that Aaron didn't feel

the need to protect little brother. Those people come to

Erin and they said, hey, Moses is gold. We ever

seen him for a good while. And you know what,

brother Philip Aaron said, The solution is this. See that

gold in your ears, see them jewels in your nostrils,

see them change around your neck. Pluck all of that off. Oh,

come on, camelon teaching what thus said the word of God.

If they're not supposed to be dressing like a pagan,

just go ahead and tell them they're not supposed to

be dressing and like a pagan, go and tell them

they nothing to for.

One time of day.

And when they left for the spall of Egypt, the

Jewols should have been on their sandals, I said, the

Jols should have been on their camels, on their sandals,

and on their nk. It's not on the person. There's

some preachers. They're looking for a way to preach holding,

they're looking for a way to take a stam. I'm

wonna go about it this way. I'm gonna be diplomatic.

And whenever you start towing around feelings and you start

exercising spiritual authority to assume you try to give somebody

a reason for why they shouldn't have that on them.

And er, you know, he said, you know, just might

as well take all that off anyway. It doesn't mean

anything to you. That's what it's demonstrating. It's worthless. But

then brother Nathaniel, he puts it in the fire. They

had the men that was supposed to fash some things

and furniture that goes in the house of God. They

start holing out to a Cathic can't even say mood.

I see preachers, they look departure and they can't even move.

I see teachers they ain't looked the party.

They can't even preach. I'm telling you, come home. I'm

not going to.

Men idolatry in the hush of God. If they can't

speak the words of God, it don't got a cold

against my oldly. It can look upon only he They

claim to be a spiritual body only, but they can't

show wild I said it.

They can't show wid they had to be there. Then

they're not behad.

I'm not aligated to sit in the congregation of the

unrighteous while they're passion idols of their own hands. Can

you imagine compromising charismatic great speaking aaron with eloquency he

fashions the right words and the right sentences phrase all that.

He's perfect. These oratorical skills are second to nobody. And

he's telling them basically, that silly cap right there, Or

it's what brought you out of Egypt, the jewels of

the egypsums, that's what brought you out of Egypt. You

realize what they say, the cause every little boy a

little g her mos. Danny Mama was wearing my tears

in that idol only yesterday. Oh, come on, we're not

going this, I'm telling somebody. Didn't they spell that we've

got a.

God that is a love and the Bible said the signs.

Follow up the believers. So I ain't gonna worship a

cow that can't even grow hair. I ain't gonna worship

a cow that can't produce me o God. I'm not

gonna worship a cow that ain't got a long tongue

that I can make tacos out of. I'm not gonna

worship a cow that can't grow horns. I'm not gonna

worship a cow that can't provide a porner house. But

you know about that great preacher Aaron did he'd lied

to him and you know lot about six hundred thousand

to a million people they got around and they started

playing church. You showed up here because you said you.

Were tired of the playing church. You were tired of somebody.

Having afformer of godiness, but not in the power.

You are kind of seeing youth group, not to youth group.

Byside the chances of things happen here. You're retired to

somebody get let a keyboard and powering out she inf

and genius seeing the planes chorus holding the loisa, the

young people. You were tired, they're playing at church. These

individuals such as Moses and the apostle Paul, they received

strength and power from the Lord. There was a divine

force operating in and through these mortal beings. How many

here be called the commission of Moses, who called him Mama.

No Jacob was nowhere? Who sent him wife? No Miriam

wasn't too fond of his selection and choice of wife.

But you know what God showed Miss Merriam, what he

thought of her being outspoken concerning Moses's selection am answer.

Who called Moses the God of heaven, who called Sampson

the God of heaven earth, who called Paul that Himan.

A calling came forth from alive that show him better

than the noonday sun. Hey, brother, Nathaniel, the God of

Him and and Earth called this man Moses out of

a burning bush. God commissioned Moses to lead God's people

out of Egypt to the Promised Land. And I can't

believe it, by the jest that six hundred thousand to

a million people would be undecided as to whether not

to God sent Moses, as to whether not God commission

him to see their house, or as to whether or

not God was using their help to bring them out

of Egypt. Oh, not everybody was like Miriam singing in

the high praises of Moses. Not everybody was like Joshua.

Were willing to follow him.

But can I tell you the foolish person's unwillingness to

commit to the journey, the foolish person of willingness to

submit to authority is not cashade of Moses. Somebody has

been in a part of Butcher. You can't cashade hold

a man of such experience who they're coming.

They go, they say, this is exactly what we need,

This is exactly where we need to be.

Ho It'll walk away and say who made Moses our charge,

commission Moses to tell me this, Who gave him permission to.

Teach to me like that.

The truth is, God allows us to be fools. I'm

not calling any man a fool, I said. The truth is,

God allows us to make our own foolish choices. God

allows us to be fools. Who would question the commission

of Moses? Who would question whether or not Samson had,

by the power of God done many notable things and

great etch voids? Who would ask for an explanation when

everybody knows the reason is the anointing is present. It's

the anointing that destroys the yth the tree is full

of fruit. I'll tell you only a foolish person, that

is stubborn, who refuses to submit this spiritual authority, who

question the experience and the exploits and the commission of

such men. Moses's commission and calling was made sure that

day that the pledge began in the nation of Egypt.

That man's commission and calling was made sure again whenever

the Red Sea parted and congeled on both sides, when

the little children of isheaw and I'm talking about the

little boys and the little girls walked through.

That dry seabed and said, Mama, I'm not even getting

mud on my feet.

Mama, I am not getting mud on my feet. This

is a seabed, I said, I'm not even tripping over seashells.

Come on, you never heard anybody say that. That's God

given it to me. Right now, If the marine life

it's in the conjailed walls of the sea, I believe

the mollusca, I believe the clam. I believe the oyster.

That any other shellfisher was hanging out hold the franchise

of the conjiled sea as well off that was just

stretching hand toward him, brother staring is hard to believe

other people that possibly could have poked a finger in

the congealed sea. Right. God's the inventor of stuffed jell

o Hey cheerios. That was a big deal when they

started selling us little little letters, little O's mocha. That

was a big development. When it dawned on somebody, we

can sell letters, what about spaghettios? And they started selling

pasta in the shape of letters of the alphabet. And

then they started putting little fruit bites in our yellow cups.

How many of y'all remember that. I remember when they

started putting oreos in ice cream and called it cookies

and cream. I remember when the blizzard became a thing

at Dairy Queen. I remember, I remember very well when

frost what's it called in McDonald's doing the mcflurry. I

remember when they brought the mcflurry out. I remember going

and getting that stuff, soft served ice cream, stuff full

of oreos. Hey what about them little kids going by

that congeled sea and saying, look right there, there's an

octopus looking at us. Hey, there's a lot of ocean

of creatures that are territorial. There's a lot of them

that had cross boundaries that day that wanted to get

back to their territory and back to their place. But

whenever they tried to swim into that they congail line.

But in Nathanior it was impenetrable. I wonder how many

sharks went home that day were a sore nose. I

wonder how many octopuses pap to actor that conjail well,

come on to how many little children looked and said,

look at that, well looking at me, look at that?

How I'm telling you, I feel the preacher hiding this

trace to night, and to think that there was somebody,

says a howl, that was walking through their question of mode.

As long as it ain't blood, whatever just came up.

As long as it ain't blood, we're good, Amen, Praise

the Lord. I did a blood yet came in. I

ain't coughing up blood. Praise the Lord. Amen. I feel

I ap preach it to you if you want to

tear you just a little while longer. Amen, it's hard

for me to believe.

Brother.

The thing is that somebody can be walking through something

like that, Sister Howell, only a handful are willing to

say that's God's man, that's God's man. You know, there's

a many of them trying to explain the miracle of

Teresa Wallas. They're trying to explain it away, is what

they're trying to do, as man I will, trying to

explain their way a miracle of Philip Powell. I said

at this point, I ain't got nothing to do with it,

nor do you you know who's not ever trying to

do with it. The Holy Ghost of Heaven has everything

in the world to do with it. And that should

God start for people of God strange at all, but

what we should dine strange is when somebody questions the

commission and the calling and the exploits.

Of our gods.

People, well, remember Jenesip Chambers finally got to the place

they were willing to withstand Moses. Who made Moses the

judge over such a people. We can be a judge

just like Moses. I'm the priest of my house. I

can leave my family. I can part my family in

my living room, and I can preach.

In such a way.

That it will help my family and it will drive

back our enemies.

Oh no, you can.

We'll just pull up steak and we'll go find somewhere

else to have church. There is a lot of people

today having churches in their homes, having church gatherings in

their little buildings that they call church buildings. There are people,

and I'm not against them, but we must be honest.

All they are doing they're playing church.

They go to the same.

Little storefront for years. I was in a storefront for

years as well. And I'll tell you after about a decade.

You want to be outgrowing something as you're bringing forth

fruit in this remaining. Your children ought to be able

to very good. Your grandchildren ought to be able to

out rule that storefront, or somebody should have been preached

too on the street, or somebody should have been reached

in that county hill, or somebody should have been reaching

that homeless ministry, or you should have reached out till God.

Sent them in.

There should have been something taking place. The truth is,

they like they lock together and little places that stand

behind what they call their secret desk. They like to

open up their Bible and their notebook, and they like

to hear themself preach. Should I get personal and preach

to y'all tonight? Should I answer some questions for y'all tonight?

The truth is some of these guys just to like

to hear themselves preach. They're just talking up the bid

to get to be seen in a camp meeting. While

some of us do what we can to avoid preaching

our camp meeting, some of us realize we've got our

work cut out for us and doing what God has

told us to do within our own circle of influence

and within our old ministries. The truth is, some of

those guys just like going to churches that they can

barely keep the doors open. It They like just barely

being able to cover the Hill utilities bill whe because

they like to walk to that pulpit with a Bible

and a notebook under their arm, and they like to

hear themselves preach, and they like for four or five people,

or maybe ten or twelve to hear them preach. The

truth is some of them just like to preach. I'll

tell you how good they like to preach. They could

have a starving church as starving spiritually, and they can

tell me something like this, we're having revival. I heard

it for years by one young preacher who has supposedly

been pastoring now for twenty years. I think it was

brother Aaron Wood told me the last he heard, they're

running a little over ten on a good day. And

some of them that used to go there now they're

no longer interested in going to church because they're afraid

of crowds and they're afraid of sickness that people might have. Hey,

the last time I checked, a church's got ten, twelve,

twenty or thirty people in It is not crowded unless

it's a little hole in the wall. The truth is

probably some of them people sick and tired of hearing

them preach. We're their preaching the same thing, Adam tell

me before we broke out in revival, because they heard

themselves preach good one time, a message that they got

out of a sermon book, or a thought that they

got from the coworker on the job, or they got

inspired from something written on a billboard. And they go

that morning and have a little extra wind from me

too many chili beans the night before. They got a

little bit of energy from eating to chocolate cake for

breakfast and drinking the red bull before church. And they

get good and sweaty, and they walk the sweat off

their brow and they say, man, I preach good today. Bishop,

I preached good day. Bishop. I said, you did, said

I sure did. We've broken the revival and I said,

who's preaching?

And I am?

I said how long is the revival going? Until God

says stop? And after one or two nights, I say,

how's little revival going? Are we into Tuesday night? I said,

why did you end Tuesday night?

Will?

I was preached out and give out. But the next

Sunday they come in to play church, old bless God child,

we're here this morning to have church. Hey, we're going

to preach on monkeys. See nurkeydo and the copraditions thinking

I've heard that message two or three times, and here

to the last decade, I'm telling you we've got to

lose that desire to play church. Let the church be

the church, and let the church have church. Who's preaching

that revival that I am a year later? Who's preaching

that revival? Pastor? I am a year later? Who's preaching

at revival? I am a year later? Who's preaching at revival?

I am? The truth is some people like to hear

themselves talk. The truth is some people like to pretend

to be leaders. When my kids were little, sister, how

sister would remember this, we would go into the back

of that church that we were written for one thousand

dollars a month, and we would have a wonderful fellowship.

And after about an hour and a half, a brother

Stanley Jean Wooton running his mouth and be running my mouth,

and our brods sitting over there, and you bring us

and laughing at our simple, simple jokes and our friendship. Hey,

brother Jesse, we'd hear the young people in that sanctual

where in having church. I'm talking about eight year olds

through the age of thirteen, and we would pull back

the curtain. You remember that, Sister mouton and we would

all stick our heads in there, and we would watch

Brother Nathaniel run pews. We would watch Brother Jesse run us.

We'd see Brother Philip marching across the front of the

church and brother stared at. We'd see brother saying nor

doing in the world wind and the windmill at the

same time. And them little girls that were part of

the church at that time that acted like they were

too afraid the priest, the Lord. You're a regular.

So when the church was having church and acted like

they were oblibu to the English language and acted like

they can't have their tongue, and I acted like they

didn't know how to raise their hands.

Or Sister whom you would remember their children like a ballerina.

You would remember them going up and down and swaying

at whatever it was.

It was not the spirit of God.

I don't guess they were playing church. After a while,

I'd see Brother Jesse get behind the poopit or one

of the other young men and they would get fired

up and they would preach and they would slap the

pool pit time. And I'm telling you, the chuggler paint

went bunch. They would turn red to the face and

they would preaching. People were going off for shouting. Who

are you talking about? I'm talking about eight ten and

twelve year old the Ott girls. What must be on

Jesse teaching? If you don't praise God, the do not

go to hell? It doesn't sound like something to shout

about to me, but your own not. They were only

playing church.

How glad the stopped playing church tonight. That's the church.

Don here, hey w the church howsat.

They are not charge?

Sister Rachel said a lot of times in that back room.

She here Sister Rebecca and Sister Renee in there shouting

and praise of the Lord, find God. I believe it.

I know.

The first time I got annoyed was at the age

of ten. I close the bedroom noor, and Brother Jessee

by myself, I opened to the book of First and

Second Samuel and started reading in the spirit of God

I'm talking about descended upon me. He had not yet

taken position, but I remember preaching with an oction. I

remember getting annoyed, and Brother Nathaniel, I've taken preaching seriously

ever since then. I see it as more than an

opportunity for an auctioneer's cadence. I see it more than

an opportunity to display the eloquent speech of oratorical ability.

I see it as an opportunity to demonstrate the power

of God. I'm telling some young men in this building tonight,

it's time you stop being children at play in the

house of God, in this thing we call life and develops.

You're true and be the church. These leaders were empowered

to carry out the will of God. Who would question

such confirmed spiritual authorities, dumbbos foolish people. It's hard to

believe that there was some questioning the motives in the

ministry of meek mile Moses. In fact, he was so

meek and mildly temporary manner that when he got back

after Aaron felt miserably as a pastor, And all of

a sudden he said, grime that idle up to powder

and spread those powder assustances upon this body of water.

Now all of you get on your knees and hands

and dream it up, drink it up. It doesn't take

a rocket scientists to know what goes in goes out.

Moses was showing on the power of that gold, showing

them the power of the idol and you know whats

the woman who doesn't matter what kind of manifestations are

on display, what kind of power is on display, if

it's the judges of Israel, the apostles of Jesus, or

the Apostle Paul himself raising the dead. The truth is

there's going to be foolish people question that a party.

I've heard it sat for years. You can't think stupid.

I've heard of good spiritual women before being bound to

a spiritual fool a spiritual foolish man who questions the

extraordinary facts of the undeniable and the unexplainable, but will

sit there and deny. I don't know whether or not

we're in the will of God or not. I don't

know if we're where we ought to be or not.

I'm not thoroughly yet convinced. And then when miracles happened,

attempt to explain them away. Now I don't want to

lie either. Could be the possibility is something else happened.

That's somebody underminded. Listen, when Samson jerks the Philistine gains

off the hinges and he lays them at defeat of

Philistine lords, or he carries him up. The healer does

whatever he wants to do with her? How do you

question that? It takes a fool to be an eye

witness of such things as that, and to look at

the results and say, how did that happen? It wasn't

a tornado. If it was a tornado, it was a

tornado named Sampson. Not all these people questioned these great

men of God, these spiritual leaders, but some did. The

fact of the matter is, brothers, there at some people

are as foolish as Nabel the Carmelite was. After King

David and his men protected Nabel and his herding from

the enemy on a certain day, how many of y'all

familiar with that story. David and his men were fleeing

from the presence of King Saul. And while in flight,

they came upon the big the big homestead and the

farm of the successful, rich businessmen, the entrepreneur Nabel. And

while they spent time in the fields of Nabel the

Carmelitus brother Jesse, David and his men they protected the

fields and the herds and the flocks of Nabel for free.

Then on a certain day David came with his irvids

has said, could you ask Nabel if he'd give us

a little something to eat, if he'd be a blessing

to us. We protected his flocks and his hurbband. We've

been good to him. And you know what, Nabel said,

Hi and hearty and an arrogant spirit. He said, who

is David? Who is David? Who is David? Who is just?

They'll say? Who is Essey? Who is Nathaniel? Who is Rick?

Who is Methia? Who is a hold in his church?

What is it?

Who is it? Who is Philip? Who is that young

man that gives such a testimony? Who is Teresa?

Who is David?

I'm feeling it right now, brother Nathaniel. Who is David?

Dabel said, as though David was nobody and a Bible said.

When their messengers come back and told David what foolish

mable said? Who he is? Deep? David rose up, said,

sad on the horses, boy, and will show him who

is David. So you don't pick a fight with a

giant slayer. You don't pick a fight with a man

that's running graciously for the King of Israel saithing because

he doesn't want to slay him. You don't pick a

fight with a man that can camp out with the

enemies camp while they fly from his own king. But

a foolish man does I tell you what we're gonna do. Honey,

We're gonna stay at home. I'm a preacher, and we're

gonna have the devotions. Who is Jeremy? They despise leadership,

They're not afraid to speak evil of dignities. Who is David?

I'll tell you who David is? The anointed of God

to want that, Samuel shuddered, and tell the Princess of God,

so lately has he emptied that bottle of all the

hornibals upon the bell of Davy, Sister Wood, It takes

a very foolish woman. Did not see through the foolishness

of Mabel. And the almost said that when the messengers

of Mabel came into the house, Nabel was too busy

to listen to the reports of the couriers. And Abigail

she heard him out, and the courier said, I want

you to know, mister, hardhearted means spirited. Cold heart cut

Neighbel's words, cut David to the core right, And that

dust you see on the horizon is David and his

body men come in the slave neighbor, and Abigail filled

her basketful of goodies, and she were and I tell

him eat, David, And she said, my lord, my lord,

thou knowest that my husband's a churlish, courlish man. Thou

knowest that my husbands are very foolish men. Now knowest

that my husband's a stupid idiot. Thou lost that my

husband doesn't have my kids that's interested by him. Oh,

and she said, David, have mercy, And David said, because

of you, wise hearted Abigail? Was that her name Abigail,

David's smart's wife. Now as pretty as that, as wise

as Oh, Mama, Abigail, come over to David brother, I'm

a feeling anointing of God. Might be weak your body,

but I'm a feeling amarted of God. And David turned

that horse around and gave him a kick to the

flank and said, and the horses galloped back in an

officicite direction. And that wise woman walked away, saying, name,

it was such a fool? Who is We all know

who that man was. He wasn't a lone ranger and

this one wasn't wearing a mask? Should I keep preaching?

Her said, We'll go to the house. I may preach

myself hell to preach myself hurt. Either way it be

s received. I believe that, brother Tyler. She came in

the house, and I believe you could hear that real

thick leather leather front door closed. Was that flap hit

the other flap? Right? Maybe it was a wooden door.

I don't know what it was. Maybe said where you went?

She said, lucky for you. I know who David is right,

lucky for you. I know who David is lucky for you.

I know where it knowting's a lucky for you. I

know who the spiritual leader of Israel is working for you.

I know who's been called a God. I know who's

been commissioned of God, and I know who runs from God.

And I know who plays church. Children must dreath around

and letus have a little bit of emotion. Why life,

sip on my coffee. That's playing church, and your children

know you're playing church. Whether you're having church in your

living room or in a storefront or in a big building,

people can tell when you're playing church. I preach you

a son in the Holy Ghost title, children are playing

the mis while that's do Aaron is playing church.

Not only is he.

Playing at church he's playing chief, he's playing leader. It's

a enable question David's authority, He sarcastically asked, why would

I give my bread to someone like David? Many slaves

flee from their math to just a common turn of events,

a beggar, a slave would come looking for bread. Brother

Jeremiah Nabel thought nothing of attempting to destroy David's reputation

and accuse him. The anointed of God has been nothing

more than a fugitive, a slave on the road. And

you know what David wanted to do. Within David's flesh,

I'll show him a thing or two, just like Mabel.

When the judge is going when the leaders gold, the

children of Israel would go back and bring foolishness back in.

They would revert back to their sinning ways. They'd go

back to their habits. They'd go back to dollar treat

They got their wish and they got to will and

let them right back into bondage. The pastor's out sick.

They missed and Wednesday night. Suddenly I feel the need

to ask somebody in the church to go shopping with me.

Suddenly I feel the need to do things that I've

never known before. I feel the need, and there's a

strong urge and a strong desire to be mischievous. But

I want you to know, any time they reverted back

in to their sin, it was only a matter of

time they were back in bondage. I've asked the question

before to the how we're young men, I said, if

I was to drop dead tomorrow, which you continue to stand,

if God was to come or call for your daddy tomorrow,

which you continue to stand for truth. My question tonight

is why did the children of Israel never come to

a place where they can lead themselves and their families properly?

Why do young men and young women never reach spiritual maturity?

Why do they refuse to develop spiritually? And I know

you deserve better than for you that I'm not preaching

to to feel like you're accused tonight. You're not. I

know of about ninety percent of the people in this

building had the Holy Ghost. They are possessed of the

Holy Ghost. But Sister Howell, I don't want to be

one of them five or six that year after year

after year after year, you keep going back into sin,

you keep having your spiritual authority issues. I'll tell you this,

when Abigail the wife enable the carmelotis and I'm paralleling

here and speaking spiritually when she sees her foolish husband

go from church to church to church to church to

church to church to church. And they've pad three to

five pastors in the last five or seven years. And somehow,

every one of them spiritual men who's been commissioned and

called of God, that have a power to lead a

divine forces behind them, to lead a wife, to lead

a family. They have fruit on their tree. Their congregation

is productive. But somehow that foolish man, I'm a preacher,

and then you sense in that foolish person an efeminine spirit.

You sense in that foolish person hidden sin. You sense

in that person that they are men on.

The run or a woman on the run.

Listen, Abigail. At that point, Sister Janet Hill can speak

from experience. You met a form an affinity with David

very soon, because I've heard them people before stand up

in this church and say, I've got the strength that

I need to go on now without brother and Sister Howland,

without the background and the backbone of the Bethel Holiness Church.

Oh it is sif. Two years later, suffering spiritually. You

never know how people in the building are thinking. I remember, sister,

when we were having church, not playing church, years ago,

about thirteen years ago, and this young woman who was

a baby in Christ, after about eighteen months of literally

coming out of nothing into this holiness way, one night

she stood up and she said, I've come to understand

that God could take Brother Hovel from us as pastor.

And I realized. Now after eighteen months or two years,

some of you will remember her saying this if you

remember it. Raise An said, I've come to realize and

be okay with the fact that after two years God

would take our pastor and we can still stand, and

we'll make it and we'll survive. And immediately I deserned

she was speaking Alie. She didn't anticipate my removal by

death or by commission of God. She wasn't forecasting that

God was gonna give me a spiritual promotion and move

me to the pastor of a big church, for we

didn't have such a thing at that time. She wasn't

being a propert us saying God's gonna bless our pastor

in such a way as gonna be a worldwide missionary,

and he's gonna spell a life money on chip fuel.

What she was doing, she was telling on herself. She

was letting us know, I'll be leaving soon, and I

got what I need to make it. I got what

I need to make it. I've heard a little teaching

on separation, I've heard a little teaching on sanctification. I've

learned how to watch Sister Howell and mimic her, Sister Walker.

We don't need to get in a discussion about this

in the near future, not tonight or ever. But I'll

never forget sister Walker coming to me. And she said,

concerning that certain sister there another Howell, she said, I

know you're on and I'm sure you've noticed that. She said,

but she's just parenting Sister Howell. She's mimicking Sister Howell.

In other words, what Sister Walker was saying is she's

playing church. Most people were deceived by her and her personality.

But I'll tell you the holygo Sister Howell has would

never cause her to stumble over to the men's side. Repeatedly,

the Holy goes of Sister Howell's side and inside of her,

the holy goes that possesses a sister Rachel and sister

Wooton will never send them into an aimless drift and

calls them to PLoP down in the lap of a

man that's married. That's what such a spiritual, foolish person said.

I've arrived. We've learned what we've needed to learn. I

remember when that preacher that was under our ministry for

a certain period of time, he said, I feel like

I've learned everything there is to be known about pastoring.

For now I know how to do it on my

own as a pastor. I come under your ministry. I've

learned how you communicate with your flock on a daily basis.

I've learned how you expressed your concern. I've learned how

to do it just like you do it. I've learned

where to stand in the church. I've learned when to

say things and not to say things. And Brother Nathaniel,

I knew, boy, it ain't coming from in here. And

as soon as you lose my influence, you're gonna revert

back to your ways. And he does not have a

church tonight, But I thought he learned how to be

the perfect pastor. Goodbye, pastor, Howell, we don't need you anymore.

I remember the night that woman, among others over the years,

said goodbye, goodbye, Pastor Howell, goodbye Methel, who would never

write my would say goodbye to the spiritual leadership of Moses,

Who in their right mind would say goodbye to the

spiritual leadership of Joshua. Why would a man like Joshua

have to say, you make your choice, and I'll make mine.

But as for me and my house, we will serve

the Lord, sister, and I will never know why. There

were developmental issues and some of the spiritual children, and

Sister how and I have had to oversee, and I

will tell you most of them have been adopted. And

when they've come in, they have already been the product

of another man, if not their own ministry. And when

they said signor goodbye, we've got it. Thank you for everything,

thanks for everything, brother Howell. In a short space of time,

they've reverted back. Sister Howl in proverb of twenty nine

to fifteen and said, but a child left to him,

say bringeth his mother to shame. That's exactly my point.

A child children at play, a child. The Bible said

that the children of Israel rose up to play. They

were adults, but they had childish thoughts. If I had

a little bit more energy, i'd run hard for another

fifteen minutes, but I'm weak in body. Apostle Paul one

time while preaching, and in his epistle, he said, there

was a time I thought as a child, I understood

as a child, but when I became a man, I

put away childish things. I want y'all to know. Sister

how And I don't pray at church only. Sister Walker

doesn't pray at church only. Sister He'll doesn't pray at

church only. Sister Haymond doesn't pray at church only. Brother Justin.

I don't believe you pray at church only. But sometimes

as to how, when I see some of the things

mature people do, quote mature people do, I realize they're

not the man or the woman in God they think

they are. There's a deep thought that I'm preaching to

night too. I ought to have confidence in you by now,

at seventeen and eighteen years of age, Sister how and

I we were having Bible study, not trying to slip

behind a barn. Explain away why you did what you

did as a young person, and try to explain why

we were pure and all I can tell you is

you're going to revert right back to it. You get taught,

you receive instruction, you receive direction. You're told plainly what

to do and not to do. The saying is when

the cat's away, the mice flame again. But a child

left to himself bringeth his mother to shame. It doesn't

say a grown man. A child is the one that

keeps getting reproof The first part of that scripture, Part

A of that scripture talks about a parent reproving the child.

I'm preaching the children tonight. I'm not preaching to the

elders of this church. I'm not preaching a brother Philip.

I'm talking about spiritual meats. Apostle Paul said, when you

should have been able to receive meat, because you're a child,

I have to part the whiskers and put a bottle

in that mouth and give you milk. Hain't children, it's

almost revival time. Hate children. It's Sunday to go to church.

Hate children. It's been weak. Go to church, hate children.

Put God first. Hate children. But men of God, possessed

by the Holy Goost, they learn these things. I appreciate

the strong leadership of Bethel it's a blessing to be

under the umbrella of strong leadership. But if he was removed,

or if you were to remove yourself, how would you fare.

I want to ask you a question concerning those that,

in the wrong spirit have removed themselves from Bethel. Has

it ever ended well for them? How can they come

here saying I know what's the will of God and

then leave? Right? So, if you came here in the

will of God, when you leave, you're out of the

will of God. Simple solution. Let's stand to be dismissed

here tonight. We've already prayed and praised the Lord, unless

somebody feels like praying. But I I come to tell somebody,

you're not prepared, You're not ready. You keep reverting back

right Fossor Paul said, how turn you again to the

week and the benderly elements of the world. Sister How.

We had had two years with that young woman, and

she felt like she could make it on her own.

But you know what I've learned, whether the thing or

the quartet saying dishorned, I can't even walk without him

holding back. But one thing I noticed anytime, Sister How,

and I sought out a moment of vacation, just a

week of rest.

It.

There was not a time that that woman was not

getting in trouble that she had not backed up on

the job of with friends and family. That was not

one time she had not stuck around and done something roll.

How do you know that, because when we got back,

she'd be confessing I'd done roll. Include one time she

told me and says, how in our office, she said,

I need y'all to pray for me, because while y'all

were gone, I started fellowship and with the unfruitful works

of darkness. And these people that live like the world

and listen to any kind of music and call themselves Christians.

And she said they dressed like people of the world.

She said, I lowed them to pray over me. And

here's what she said. I am possessed. I thought you

were able to do on your own. I'm preaching with

a burden. Tonight. Somebody has walked out and said bye bye.

And what I saw the moment they said bye bye,

Here's what I saw spiritually, as sure as I heard

God speak to me to preach this message tonight, a

little whirlwind sprouted up. And for anybody that knows the

nature of a WorldWind. It grows and it intensifies, and

it gets bigger. And what I've been hearing in my

soul is, Abigail, you better for your life. Because foolish

people challenge the commission and the call and the spiritual authority.

Foolish people receive instruction, it would, unmonitored revert back to

things that displease God as soon as the leader misses

because of the need for personal rispit, and they make

a departure and go into the mountain to get into

presence of God. Moses was not seeking out of vacation

on the beach of the Sea of Galilee. Moses was

looking for an opportunity to get alone with God. And

the children are at play tonight. As we worshiped the

Lord on this pomp Sunday, I wasn't playing. I've seen

people that live like the devil, and they love to

put on their Sunday best as to how and they

love to come up and stand behind a piano, plup

their heels together, stand there properly and see beautifully, loving

to sing the songs of an desiron but playing church.

I've seen people that love to crawl up alongside of

an altar grab a cleanex box and pull out a

cleanex and pray for a little while with a strong

desire to play church. Let me ask you all question

in closing, I hope nobody's cutting me off, because this

is my punchline. I will never believe as long as

I live, that God understands witness in mind that fifty

people were killed. If I got the number right recently,

that our lifetime, thirty or fifty people were executed as

Christians for simply being believers. Right, how many was it?

Seventy people? I would never believe with that in mind,

that it's God's will for some pastor's wife or camp

meeting speaker's wife, for a Fangelis's wife, or a young

person in the church to walk into that bed of

poor sanctuary, where that manicured lawn, and come down that center.

I'll put one foot in front of the other with

their little prissy expression gate.

And walk with that uncut hair and that nose in

the air, and with that fragrance of one hundred and

twenty dollars perfume, and to come in.

So pampered and so preaty and so princy with a pair.

Of thirty dollars shoes on their feet and one hundred

and twenty dollars pocket book that they feel us too cheap.

And for them the press in that church, and for

that camp meet speaker of that preacher, that pastor, that evangelist.

Or that young man to come in bladdle and luck

a duck and shunting like a peacock, hit a five

hundred dollars suit, hit a one hundred and twenty dollars

pair of shoes, and to act lot they're having church.

When people that came even a four or to rupt

two pities together, or marching to the executioner's chop blocker.

Why said go and be to Jesus? How the loon?

Come on?

Now, I'm telling you there's a whole lot of people.

They're speaking in a talla. They're twirling around now, they're

running around there, and they're all who they.

Playing in churchill, But I want you to know who

the real church is charging the chop blocker.

The real church is God.

Is thrown and it pays the persecution and a president.

That is the church that I'll be long too.

I said that that is the church. And I said

the ant lie to be up in the all.

You tell me.

How the God of the persecuted church can look on

there pont a camp meeting of it dependent holy this

people or Pentecosta people, where it's a passion.

Shot of you.

That's not the church I've belong to. I'm telling some

young being in this building.

This time you stop perioding. This time is stop looking

at us. If you put know.

You're a Sunday besser. If you want to put your

armorrold I said, you want to put.

Your arrold a lot to church, be the churche.

There's six people in this building.

We're preaching.

The last few weeks you've been saying six people in

this building exactly, there's six people in.

This building right now.

I want to ask you what you come this halter

and whatever it is you know you needed to.

Do for a long time.

If you could focus them on that quote of perfume

in that spray a colone, it thought that your chuggler

vein can be ruptured had the ax head of an executioner,

why didn't you have tux? I said there the charge

would be attack and these chimular fans would not matter.

Children and that place you know where I'll see the

children their play side. I see along the roadside in

communities because they expect children to get out there and

entertain one another. They expect children engage in times of

recreational activities. Look at ny he's usually somebody acts foolishly.

And I want you to know. Mature people don't play

in the streets, and the char people don't.

Come a church.

Chill then, won't pray through til captures golden children won't

pray through until the dead is raised.

Chill theren won't pray.

Until kny older is dissolved. Kill her. Won't preach while

they're in a little bit of pain. But mature people,

they'll get out the the highways. They'll get there in

the hedges, and they will compel them to come in them.

Sit her, come in, sit her, come to church, Sit her,

come into church. There's memory in this building right now.

And my parents are still in their cages. I said,

parents are still in their cages. Let me ask you

a question, now that you've received a lot of the word,

do you now think that God is in that can't

meet Speaker's wife waiting until church has started and plants

it down next sell with her head up in the

air like sees somebody. If executioners would have come in.

And grabbed her by the head of the hair and

drag her out.

She would be worried about that secular seniors perfume being

over her. There no, thank God, please with holiness women

sit her out and holiness fellowship. Paul. If the may

weather or not, Britney's fears perfew, he beyonceys fast better.

I'm gonna prophesy right now.

I'm gonna power God.

He spoke to me before acting to this building this morning.

They spoke to me again. The parents are gonna stay

in their cases, and you know what you're gonna steal.

You'll be playing with that mirror that's in that cage.

You're gonna steal, be playing while the church is gone,

I said the church siple, we'll fucked a bottle. And

when the battle's over, we're gonna guard to that moon

or louson and you'll steal be foun chart.

The hero of mine is.

Not somebody fool.

A pride strut.

Through the churchmen in air after like they can preach

the heroic mid is that missionary?

Then a far.

Country that's been theough for five years didn't abductor that

dumb time and carried away left. Get to the right now,

where the white trim, white trim sneakers, the church on

you look to.

While saints, blood, the soil, the souls of.

Those who make them martyrs, this sign right now displaying

their maturity. I would be terrified right now that what's

inside of me, it's God enough to rise up at

the time was here. It's a part of them. When

the enemy comes in luck, a flood, something without you,

how to rise up for holding those out of high,

tracking your enemies and push your enemies. I'd be alarmed

and concerned right now. If you're content with playing church,

I'm content with dragging in at five fifty eight on

a Sunday night. I'm content with dragging in at ten

o five am on a Sunday morning. I'm content as

low as my neck time, not this square of my neck.

You better have what you need to face the chalk block.

I'll tell you something right now, brother Jesse. When I

started preaching almost twenty years ago, I was amazed and

appalled by the actions of so called independent Pentecostal preachers.

When you mentioned the possibility that trouble and persecution will

come to the United States. They want a church to end, right, then,

that's just the fault of the possibility of persecution coming.

They don't want you preaching along their lives. That's why

they're so sure about the rapture. That's so focused. Don't

getting out of here. That's good that we're focused. Don't

getting out of here. I'm definitely gonna try to get

out of here before the wrath of Almighty God falls.

But brother Jesse, you try to tell them seventy people

that lost their head, the trouble doesn't come to the

children of God.

You try to tell the.

Son of and family that find a little Baptist family

where that stur that church. Joshua Sullivan was abducted and

taken away from his family. You're playing church ain't gonna

work there. You ain't threatening me by telling me that

you've been bees, bees and all forensic science of the sas.

Real men don't fascinate themselves with the crowns of others.

Real men just go ahead and become a powerful They

go ahead and do something great for God, not for themselves.

A coward convinced murder the most sprightness of human pigs

of not innocent people, helpless people. But I'd be the

first to rift the head off of the ductor they're

trying to get. Sister, howell you let anybody I'm talking

about real men, as Apostle Paul.

Said, that's not the power to lead them out a light.

Prussel Paul was saying.

Some of you, pip screen, can't even lead your life,

and a lot of prisoners can't even lead their family.

And the Bible said, if they can't leave their family,

and I'm in this subjection, they shouldn't be pressing anyway.

That's what the Bible said. I don't care what's there.

Don't you a.

Parent? You're gonna steal be in your cage. In fact, you're.

Lying to me, of course steal are well?

You said you had got delivered from it and stopped it,

but then you set Saymuel's barbag heir and said you're

still listening to it? Where's the preel with God?

Right now?

They're working repentance?

Where's the panel?

Regard that two's down? Stroll broods casting down such imaginations

as that, where's the young woman? Tonight?

It's time they're playing in church?

Where's that ten? Year old little studys, mid God, it's

still a point addicted.

To a cellphold. Then we'll say it's.

Time that I'll be the church. H Ain't you need

you gotta slt on to read about in the heache

for seventy SATs? Ain't you being you a God and

what you need is not gonna help you pret such

a hot as that I'm coming in you not to

touch somebody in God in a near free church. Don't

be hatress.

The time is now.

Here's a reason for this message to God.

Your time is now because our sense a spirit.

Gets a light to sleep.

Up your feet. You don't playing church.

You need not be risky business. I said, you know,

look to the compromisa.

Did they not be Western bad? When that missionary took.

His family applica, he knew there's risk and bad. Somebody

right now s in the moot, brothers, if you calmly

would did you shift over.

Here to the side.

Independent Pentecostal people are like people of organizations. They shudder

and they tremble. What a teacher even remote me. He

mentions the possibility of church persecution in the United States

when they think that they have to drive of HIC

or fifteen years or older. They won, there's God blessing

them or not. When there's people in other countries that

are walking the church, I'm telling you I'm no longer

deceived by what people call church. I don't care who they.

Are, what family they belong to, I don't care how.

Many people worship them. But if they think walking into

that church, when that nose up in the air, the lock,

there's somebody and they went to seminary.

All the while they're allowing.

On holiness to come in, lack a ploria, all a

lot of allowing compromise to come in. And I'm profession

in pace and level. I don't worship them. I seeing

those foolish people playing church. They may be able to

hit the low note, and they may be able to

hit the high note, but when they got to the

place they're willing to overlook an effeminine spirit just because

they're competing choirs needs a superior timory. Then every other

person is playing church. Said, why is that man of

prominence and importance allowing that man possessed by that effeminine

spirit to hit the high notes? Hand that choir competition

when they're willing to overlook the homosexual who will gladly

gladness seen and participate. They're playing church and some of

you they're playing church. You'll let me preach and have

church sick. You'll be bringing on YouTube within ten days, saith,

God be honest. When people in Kenya part of the

real church, ask me, Biship, can we get ten miles?

And some of you don't know ones to last time

you looked at your back. I'm not preaching everybody. We

ain't got cancer in this church. I'm preaching the fire

or six because some of you are content with fifty

sixteen seventy. They've been like the world and struggling a man. Children.

I get concerned when I have three, four, five or

six in the how household. I was upset if one

little snotty news Brad was being unruled. They still haven't moved,

Sister Rachel. What I should have had made for tonight's

message is a children at play side, and I should

have posted it up. Besides, some people they be able

to be in churches, and people say that's indicus of

the anointing of God. I hope so could be a

blessing of God. I know one holiness preacher told me

one time concerning a man's family who was unruly and

had a history of sneaking around and committed gross sin.

He said, we'll bless God. I know he's a man

of God because he has a six digitt salary and

has a six bedroom house, a true bathroom place that

wasn't a Baptist ministry. Let me get this straight. You're

a man of God because you have a big enough library,

but you can preach a message that nobody can figure

out where you got it from. Let me guess you're

a big enough man of God because you've got enough

offering in that revival that you can afford two hundred

fifty dollars shoes than eat it long for a few

times a month. Now, you remember
