Understanding God Wants To Use You - Bro Jeremy Howell 3-23-2025

All right, understanding God wants to use me, Brother Jesse's

Sacred Samuel chapter number five, Versus numbers one through three.

Then came all the tribes of Israel to David unto Hebron,

and spake say, behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh.

Also in time passed when Saul was king over us.

Thou was he that led ust Us out and brought

us in Israel.

And the Lord said, unto thee thou shalt feed my

people Israel, and.

Thou shalt be a captain over Israel.

So all the elders of Israel came to the king

to Hebron, and King David made a lead with them

in Hebron before the Lord, and they anointed David king

over Israel.

Do y'all think this is the first time that had

dawned on David that he was going to be king

over Israel? I don't think so, Brother Nathaniel, Acts Chapter

number twenty six and verse number nineteen.

Acts Chapter number twenty six and verse number nineteen, My brother, whereupon,

O King, your Grippa, I was not disobedient unto the

heavenly vision.

How many of you are thankful that the Great Apostle

Paul finally came to a place in his life when

he understood that God wanted to use him. I believe

there are people in our company tonight that are recognizing

God's work in their life. They are recognizing God's work

in their life. May we stand for the reading of

our golden text Sacred Samuel, chapter number five and verse

number twelve. And David perceived that the Lord had established

him king over Israel and that he had exhaust that

his kingdom for his people Israel's sake. Notice them first

three words, and David perceived read those with me, and

David perceive. Let's pray, Heavenly Father, we love and we

praise you God. After the way the Holy Ghost has

moved through speaking through these preachers tonight, I believe we

have a different perspective and a different outlook and a

better understanding that you want.

To use us, God out could we not.

Understand that it's for your sake, for the Kingdom's sake.

I pray that you would annoyed this, thy servant said

to God at my mouth, and help me to say

the things you would have me to say, nothing more

or less, and not the ears of this thy people,

that they might hear what it is the Spirit of

God says. And in this church tonight I pray God,

he says, would go below shoulders, not.

In one ear and out the other.

Let them saturate, permeator be in our pray that spirit

in that soul. And may we depart this place joyfully

and not sorrowfully. In Jesus's name, in the church said Amen,

as you're being seated, ask your neighbor this, hey, neighbor,

do you recognize God's work in your life? Our text

is found in an Old Testament book in the Holy Bible.

It seems today's services have been centered around one of

the more prominent Biblical characters, in fact, probably the most

prominent Old Testament Biblical character. That's right, David, the Sweet

somerst of Israel.

This morning's a message.

Spoke highly and a lot on David and his kingdom.

Besides being the youngest of the sons of Jesse, he

is known as being a shepherd boy in his younger years,

one who was fearless and if unafraid to go against

a lion and a bear in hand to hand combat.

Do we have any teenage boys that would volunteer tonight to.

Engage in a hand on.

Hand combat with a panther or an alligator. If David

was alive in this day and hour, he would not

hesitate a bit nor be reluctant to go hand.

To hand with an alligator or a panther.

Your pastor at times has handled some aggressive alligators, and

I have thoroughly enjoyed it, But I've never had a

desire to handle a full grown panther. Years ago, Brother

Wooton's sister Root's husband brought to church a couple of panthers.

They were very young, but they were frisky and they

were cunning. He had to be careful handling them. There

were a lot of services that brother who would come

to and his arms would be marred. And because of

getting in some tangled situations with those panthers.

And as they grew stronger, he was more.

Hesitant to handle them. But I saw one of them

come to maturity.

It was a full grown panther, and.

I witnessed with my own eyes, brother Jean Whootin going

into that panther enclosure and walking in there and petting it.

He warned his granddaughter Gina to not do likewise. Some

months later, Gina was caught by that panther. If I'm

not mistaken, one of the claws on one of the.

Palls of that panther.

Caught her in her wrist and pulled her up against

the chain link pens. That panther did not love Gina

Wooton the way it loved Geene of Wooton. Anybody that

knew Gene Wooton loved him. It didn't matter if you

were a preacher or a panther. He wish your lunch, buddy.

And oftentimes he would talk to me about his animal

handling experience.

And one time brother Wooton said he.

Got caught in an enclosure with a Bengal tiger, one

that he owned. I believe it was worth about ten

thousand dollars. It was a specimen of a tiger. Many

times I would ride down there and watch their animal

handlers feed that tiger, and I was amazed by the

strength of the jaw of that tiger. And Brother Wooton

said that one time he accidentally left one of them

gates open and that tiger came into that enclosure.

He said, passed her up. Line up.

I said, otherwise, my knees got very weak, and my

heart began to race. And he said it was all

that I could do, with all of my years of experience,

not to get excited and run to that game.

He said, if I had a.

Display fear for one moment, I would have been that

thing's play toy, or perhaps.

Worst, I would have been lunch.

Sister Root and other men were standing nearby when he

said that, and they said, I would not have been

able to hold my composure. I would not have been

able to refrain from displaying emotion. I would have got

within five feet of that and launch through that game.

And brother Whoop.

Said, if you had have done that, that tiger would

have caught you again. Teenage boys, this young man, David

was one that went hand to hand with a lion

and a bear. With those two very hands that God

had given him, he was using them to defend the things.

Somebody said something.

About that a little while ago, that any preacher or

pastor worth his salt will not hesitate at.

All to defend the standards of holiness, to defend the

people of God, to defend families that are in harm's way.

David was such a man, and because of his heart.

He had a.

Heart like that of the lords.

The Bible said, this was a man after God's own heart,

and because he possessed in that bosom of heart so

similar to the heart of God Almighty, it beat four

little things like lambs and sheep. He was willing to

put his life in between that of the pall of

the bear and the hoop of a sheep.

Come on down. He was wearing the.

Place his life and his reputation in between the.

Pall of a lion and that of a mother sheep?

Are you willing here to not to.

Do something in order.

To offend somebody that might be defenseless.

I believe that David was.

Beloved because of his willingness to stand in the gap.

For other people. I wonder when it was when it finally.

Dawned on him that I have a hire calling.

Home my life. I wonder what it was that.

He recognized God's worker in his life. The lyrics of

a song goes like this, Sir, in all my life,

I've seen the head of God at work.

When you think of David.

You think of the time of his military prowess and

how it was manifested her to the massive set as

he took down single handedly of Philistine champion fighter with a.

Swing and a storm.

Can I tell you here tonight?

A lot has been said about David's judgment and his

decision and.

His call to fight that battle at a distance.

I personally appreciate every preacher that has ever preached along

them lines that I strongly disagree.

I believe that Daven.

Could I charge the Philistine champion Goliath from Galt and

took him.

Down with his bare hands.

Any young man that can stand in the face of

a keen named soul and tell him, with these two hands.

I took down a lion, that I took.

Down a bear. You know, God could have handled the

people start champion of cath I wonder when was it

that David realized that God was working in his life.

In our text, the context.

Brings us to a time with the King of Tire.

Sit workers and supplies to David, and then David realiza

that God had really made him king over Israel.

Sister holl And, David finally became king over israelis it

was because God wanted him.

To be king.

Now several years of Pastor Sisaul's death that now David

is king over a United Israel.

Mother Jesse, I don't be reeve.

It first stoggled him.

That God had a call on his.

Life at this on it texys for the chip Roy

that David proceed, I touch on the ta. When the

King of Tire sitting in all the the honest supplies

and the construction materialsm he realized in when he's sitting

in the throne that I'm actually the king rod I

meaning not of his will, that I continue you from.

Experience when he was a young.

Boy, before he was the trustworthy shepherd boy.

A testing there is no doubt there.

Was something hits and not some something hits from.

The Lord and let him know is.

About to be a radical change in your life in

a time of preparation has brought forward. Where are you

at in this time period? Are you in the waiting game?

Are you in God's waiting room? Or is it time

to take action? Come on now, There's no doubt.

David was not hasty.

It is the season the find me no let He realized,

God is wanting lady to use me.

Amen, should I keep preaching, I shaver say.

The Holy Ghost is setting up already to not and

go have a cheeseburger. A man, sister wooten to me,

David should be admired by the people of this generation

for his ability to unite the people of God are

common ground again, David should be admired by the people

of this generation for his ability to unite the people

of God on common ground. There should not be divisions, excuse.

Themsel in the church. There should not be a pursuita.

Loves holding us up in a precidaire that loves comp

a mile and come on, now, God is naught in that,

I said, God, he's naughty in that and one of damas.

Greatest characteristics, and his actually beatses this. He's a unifier.

He's from the believe we should all have the same purpose.

So we said, all have the same call. Say he said,

all he like minded.

And Paul wrote to two sisters that were not like minded.

He said, out a sixty l a.

Diasaur and sit Tickie, let you be of the same minded.

In the Lord.

I'm glad tonight that I don't have to see it there, but.

I do in a churture where hast he said, I said,

I'm lad.

To knock and I don't have to see it in

a church on a few my dallars.

Wonder, hather not doing skins.

They tell I'm telling you.

A hundred, ten thousand times ten thousand, it's.

Not all day.

It's better than okay.

The fact that the kingdom is divided is problematic for me.

The fact that the kingdom had been divided was a

problem for David.

David had, no doubt.

Been anointed of God to settle some differences. David had

been there anointed of God.

To dissolve some discord.

Listen, I'm not gonna raise my kids in the middle

of a hat fielding my call feud. I'm not gonna

raise my kids in the middle of a church house

where there is division. And God was waiting home David.

To bring his calling the parish when he could pastor

if you would lead the entire nation of Israel.

That's when David perceived that God had anorted him.

To be king to Israel.

I'm telling you, God, he has a call on your life,

just as Abraham had a call.

On your life. Is now the time? Is this today?

Is this the moment? Do you perceive it now? He said,

old Taste, and Sin.

I mentioned it this morning, Old taste, he's the experience it.

And see is to what I said this morning, it

is it's not relation.

I perceive.

I realize I'm a whold I see what can mean.

I'm asking you tonight, you perceive her.

What God's gotta store for you.

I remember the Church of.

God when they started discussing knee link skirts.

Isn't it interesting that I.

Married an Assembly of God girl that got convicted of

her the elynks skirts. But now the hole of his

people want to find fault with us for taking a

stand against it. And if you preach against it, they

say that guy must be a pervert.

We must have a problem with women's legs. Listen, I

went to a public high school.

I ran amongst football players, basketball players, baseball players, cheerleaders

in miny's skirts.

I dated my wife, who.

Wore Many's skirt, and I could truthy say a woman's

legs has never been a problem. When when I come

on now, I've never been a lust bucket. But I

can tell you these men of this world, they do

have a problem with lust. And the Bible said in

the New Testament.

The Seriah of old, Oh, come on now, she put

on some gardents and she was modest. Come on now,

and my preacher to a woiness church.

Of hearing out from this unified how.

Don't feel like we're divided on the top of the purity,

virtue and modesty, shely not come over.

I'm asking you here tonight.

Can God bring us to a place where we proceed

when we've been called to stand? David is beloved by

me because of his ability to unite the people of.

God on common ground.

The Bible students and the readers amongst us tonight will

remember that David united the tribes of Israel in a

way that only he, by God's grace.

Could make possible. Well, this can happen.

Under any leader, This can happen under any prayers at that,

this can happen under any emperor.

No, in fact, no other monarcha in the of Isra

has ever been able to do it as good as Dave,

and did it until this day he is still known.

Asked David the sweets, homister, Hope israel Israel's must beloved king.

The people in the land of Israel, still to.

This day they have bust of his face, they have

statues of his body, they have us ridings plastered in

their buildings.

Their government buildings have some of his songs plastered there.

And better Philip from one of them, without hesitation, will

say he was sweet to Israel, get brought us together,

He unified us.

And they're looking for a man that will do that again.

And that man that will come is the Antichrist.

But I want you to know by the tyler, they're

overlooking God's playing.

They're overlooking Gosnel because they're troun to David. He's actually

the troll there. He Jesus, Jesus will come.

And a sweet situation, we'll get sweeter.

Just bring more off this for a sermon. A sweet

situation we don't get sweeter.

Well, I guess today an hour of old time holiness

preaching is over. God dealt with me about five years

ago to stop saying old time holiness preaching, because God said,

there's really only holiness preaching.

Because I'm sent by all of these that say, are

your old.

Time holiness or new age holiness?

You might as well eliminate the world holiness. If you're

a new age, we'll come on. It's only tired. It

was right then, and the God that does not change it.

Was right now.

It was right then and it is right now.

He is the same yesterday, today and forever.

Somebody said, where were an ignorant and the unlearned concerned?

And sanctification fall.

I'll tell you this, if they're truly blood bought believers

on a straight and.

Narrow way, hold a lined path.

It's lit by the word of God. If they're truly

true seekers. If they're truly seekers, they're truth. They won't

stumble into it.

They're finding the same way.

By why dam they can't.

They'll understand they're a woman and in or talk to

the plate. Whether or not need link stark is acceptable.

He's alway batslet you hard.

It's called a backsladen denomination. It's called that slit people.

It's called Backslinton family. I'm not gonna sit there and

say they're shot a line in the same holy ghost

that took place up here a little while ago.

They did that in the Church of God. We've watched

them drop their standard.

We watched them blue a fascination for safety by living

inside and out, inside and out.

You know when it shows up on the exterior, there's

been something bad wrong on the inside.

Holding interire for a long time, you've been surprised what's.

Going on in somebody's heart. When they start pulling the

hemp lines up, dropping some of them down and pulling

some of.

Them up, they might have bout slid in their heart

about two to three years prior to that revelation, hodd.

On, Why here is that they feel locked?

They're the revelator.

Why is it?

Did they feel like they could go ahead and reveal

something that should be pided, something that should be saken,

something that should be saved, the treasured for somebody.

The love of the Bible said, out of.

The abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.

I was telling some of our preachers yesterday, and if

you hear somebody slip up or till a dirty joke,

it's not that they just accidentally slipped up and.

Told that dirty joke.

That's the indicative of a heart that is filled with

the blendets of dirty information. And I was telling them

the psychology of that is this, it's moving upward.

It's moving upward out of the heart.

Are these issues from out of the heart comes adulty

from out of the heart, becomes murder from out of it.

That's why Jesus said a man or a woman that

looks upon the opposite sex and today the same sex

when lusting their heart coming out to lust, that to.

Them out committed adultry. He knows im to talk about

hate and the heart. And so whenever they do these things, and.

It starts manifesting that, and it starts revealing you. To

be sure between the part of his prior, he can

church with a voting on it, they would have voted

it end and long time before it start of stealing out.

I said, out of the abundance of the hearts, I

don't say nothing wrong with it. They'll say, I don't

say anything in the world wrong with it. You will

when it's your granddaughter and you see the consequences of

giving up just a little bit.

Amen, it's good to have.

The holdiness movement still oades in a Bible scholar, get

my back tonight, brother Jill Troy, him and I are

great friends. At one point he told me, said, I

got two best friends, the Reverend Lloyd's Shoecraft and the

Reverend Jeremy Howell.

I said, that's all.

Right, Brother Broy out glad to be second filled with

brother Lloyd. But you see, he spends a lot of

time with me and Brother Lloyd, and there are times

that I'll run things by him doctorally. And I asked,

what do you think about these things of Brother Chip

Roy Herbie preaching recently about to the holiness movement discussing

whether or not above the knee is acceptable, and I

took a stand against it, said why or why in

the world are we talking about the skirt blenks at

the need Brother Chip met me at the bullpit and

he said, Brother Howard, it's about time that somebody rose

up and said something about the world.

And the said a compromise. That's coming in to see

Brother Chip, like brother Johnny there Moore Senior, like myself

and others.

We come out of a denomination called the Church of

God Cleveland, and we.

Watched world and has come in. Can I tell you

that it did not come here in a title wave capacity.

It came in as a little wave, and then the

next wave was a little bigger, and then the next wave.

Was a little bigger, and then pretty soon that title

wave that said NOMA came in and the church no

longer resembles holiness.

Listen, when a pastor has to tiptoe for the tool it.

So Ever, whether or not he will preach holiness, did

not as well resigned the church, I said, he not us.

We resigned the church, because if he's.

Not a church full of weeds, he's not not tding

at all. If he's got a churchful.

Of answer, he's not safering at all.

David understood that God has.

Called him for such a time as this, and again,

I say, in fact, unto this day, no other monarch.

Has been able to do it as good as David

did it.

Again, until this day, no other monarch has been able

to do it in the land of Israel anywhere else

like David did it.

Have you ever wondered when it dawned on you that

God had a plan for your life? Have you ever

wondered when it donned on David that God had a plan.

For his life.

When did you first realize, Sister Howell, that God had

beautiful plans.

For your life?

Did you feel it? You've told me about it in

the primacy of our own home. You said, when you

were a little girl in that charismatic church, when everybody

else said they were getting their blessing, you wondered.

Why you couldn't feel anything you wanted if you.

Were the backslider. But you said, I knew my heart

and I knew that I loved God, and I have

now after.

All these years, realized.

God was protecting shielding me from counterfeit spirits, angels that

transformed themselves into angelic beings of light.

Oh thank God. I remember that time.

One of the Brown brothers, Bassal Howard Brown, who riding

me Howard Brown's brother to Sister Howl and pushed her

own way to the back of the BT to a

sim of God.

People were laying out everywhere.

The Howard Brown brothers called himself the Holy Ghost Bartenders.

Sister Howard and I were in the process of becoming

lovers of sacrification.

Bausel Howard Brown. He pushed her to the back down

on the cyril. She did not pass out, She did

not get drunken on the spirits that they were offering.

They served her up a dreat that she would not drink,

and she told her Mama. She said, oh, you paid it,

but I didn't. Bausil Howard Brown came to the pool pit.

And he stood there and said, that woman right there,

I can't do nothing with her. Oh take God, I said, Oh, tank, God,

that can't trord pit. Tara's not of spirits, don't cramp

for you.

I said, oh, thank God, could that.

Feeling start wearing?

That singing.

You?

When did you feel it?

I remember, as a little boy on a Sunday afternoon

after family lunch, I went in there, took out a

Bible and turned to the books the first and Second Samuel,

and suddenly the spirit of God descended upon me behind

closed doors, and I went to preach it.

I went to crying, I want to laughing. I went

to preach it.

It was the first time it dawned on me that

God had beautiful plans for my life.

When did David first feel it? Wasn't before he was

a shepherd boy. When did he feel?

Come on, now, those of you in this field, and

when did you first understand that you were gonna be

in the center of God's will, if that making a move,

a transition, or.

Doing what you all have done over the last five years.

When did God first shed the the hot hold you?

I remember brother Johnny Littlemore Senior telling me when he

met his wife, Christie.

He said, I saw her.

If I'm not mistaken, he said she was wearing a

peak a dress.

He said, there was something about that moment right in

what I knew that was gonna be my wife.

I've heard men.

Both Christian and mind Christian tell me through the years

somehow upon first glance they knew.

That was my soulmate. The same thing can be said

for sister Howel and I.

In the high school of five hundred, a young man

basically tracted an officially to play ball Mulberry High School.

There are wont in halls and no there are wont

in my charted territory.

And God would have it to.

The first person I met this charity dish don't all

they talked could.

Do things like that.

It was three months later until we meet again. That's

six thirty in the morning.

Lucker side my side, and then we knew again, ding

us up to something.

I'll tell us, somebody get this building.

This happened again.

And you know what this dying on you, God is

up to somebody.

When the David first Philip.

Was it a little boy?

And I know for all these critics they like to

say he wouldn't eat cheerios. I know they didn't have

cheerios back then, But was he eat cheerios that morning

in Bethlehem. Sister, how wasn't that little good looking boy?

The Bama said he was goodly to look at that

little handsome boy. His mommy parted his locked brother Jesse,

you ain't let Mark get a hare cut? You have you?

How many of you noticed brother Ezra got his first haircut.

Y'all know who cut his hair? His daddy, brother Jeer

and mine said, my my, my, we must be destined

to be barbers around here.

He did a great job. I thought Uncle Samuel had

cut it.

But sister Hannah was it When his Sonday school teacher

at the synagogue was teaching and little David got annoying

it and he quoted them his little tell tale signs.

It dawned on me that's what jacob Bed could say

about Moses.

She perceived that he was a goodly child.

Sister, would when't that little baby's in an arkhamore Russ's

and he's fluting in a crocodile in Pistol River Isle.

That they knew, I said, they knew from chocob Bed

to Popera. They not to.

Paraoh's daughter to Pharaoh. They all knew that Moses and

Joseph were goodly men.

Had don old them.

God's got hold your life what you take you So

you're wardness unraveling like a ball of yard. I want

you to day and that that saith God. Your wildness

not unrappling.

It's not chaos.

It's coming together. I said, it's coming together.

Sometimes when things seemingly are falling apart, it's let God saying,

you know what that's because I'm fixing to tap these

puzzle pieces.

Over here and put it together properly.

And what appears to be a little kiddicat puzzle appears

to be a majestic lighted. What appears to be a

shepherd boy puzzle appears to be a King of Israel

sitting in a mighty throne.

What appears to be a young.

Man trying to figure out where to raise his family

and where to work. All of a sudden, it appears

to be a deacon in a bontofire tree.

Blue gray egg, come on, birds of law, pure vanilla

prayed a blue ribbon pulling this church. Somebody that seize

the calls mother the ting you you talked about. Somebody said,

pastor howell, I'm not on board.

And where you're at yet, But I'm feeling up my soul.

God on me were the same spirit.

Hold on, pastor howow I'm coming God, hold on past

the hallow coming up.

I'm telling somebody, look, you hit this mell in the knika.

Recognize her. God's walking your life.

Understand God? What's to use you?

Sister?

How When did you first feel it?

She said, as a little girl, I felt a desire

to pray for a man that would preach, as a

little girl against the odds, hopeless, to pray for a

man that would play the piano.

That day we met at the locker.

She knew none of that.

That day brother John and Larrymore.

Bumped in his beautiful bride, Christie. He knew none of that.

That she would be the mother of such a beautiful

tribe with saints of God, people that love, love, holiness

for always.

That day, sister how Well met me at the locker

because we both from once was running late for school.

That was not typical. Little did we know we would

find out ten years later her great granddaddy, Logan Martin.

Was a hold in this treacher.

We stumbled across some family photographs that they tried to hide.

After decending that God had compromised and went worldly for

twenty years, Sister Howe asked her parents, said who were

these people? And they said, well, that's your grandpa and

your grandpa. But they look like I look now, not

the way you raised me when we left with them pictures.

I said, Honey, that encourages me because our grandparents and

our parents' generation might have tried to bury it, but

grandma and Grandpa's prayers got through.

My brother, Jonathan Larnmore Junior.

Your grandmother was an old time pure Manella true Blue

and great grand true Blue and Gray, the holdingess woman

of God. Oh, come on now, I'm so thankful that

brother and sister Martin got a prayer through for sister Howell.

I'm so thankful the granddaddy Floyd got a prayer through

for Pastor Howell. I'm so thankful the grandmother Larry Moore

got a prayer through for the Larrymore tribe.

Poor, come on, gal and there this morning that story

about there, Sister.

Larilmore, that I care to share the knights, but I.

Want you to know she knew she was on her

death bed in a lot of years, and she told

her son Jonathan. One day you will go down it

become part.

Of the high this ner.

Years later it came to pass.

I want you to know God.

I spoke to the prop of this, I said, Todd,

I spoke to the propa. Just because we're in the

dark doesn't mean he's in the dark.

Just because we have questions doesn't mean he hasn't all

the answered. Brother Larrymore Senior told me when I was

performing a wedding ceremony with dear brother Luca's heads path.

He said, I sit there and I listened to you

do a wind, and he said, I said, I gotta

get to know this man.

Years went by before he became part of us, but

when it was time you could tell. When him and

Sister Christie showed up here, it was a God.

I didn't politic with him.

I didn't pay them. There was no pressure on the

sind And when dear brother Lucas got here for our convention,

he preached great in the morning services.

The first morning service he preached him.

When I stepped outside and I said, listen, brother, dear brother,

I had nothing.

At all to do with pulling Brother John here.

Sister Christie. I said, it was the Holy Ghost. Some

of you brothers were nearby. When I said that, I said,

I had nothing to do with it. It was the

Holy Ghost.

You know what.

He didn't give me any lip. He didn't say, let's

go discuss it, let's talk family history, let's talk church history.

He just turned on his boots and we went into

the fellowship Paul and had something to eat, because you

know the counsel of.

Give them a little?

Is this? If it be God?

What in the world can we do about it?

Shall I stop preaching? Or shall we go to the house.

I feel like preaching some more, am'am. Have you ever

wondered when did it dawn on him that the Lord

has such beautiful plans for his life?

I feel like you felt it early on.

According to the Bible, Isaiah, Jeremiah, and John, the Baptists

were called of.

God from their mother's wound? Did y'all catch that?

According to the Bible, Isaiah, Jeremie, John, the Baptists were

called by God from their mother's whom Can I tell

you here tonight?

I was born to Pastor the Bethel Hole in his

church in Libel, Florida. Did y'all know? I didn't even

have a hole that ghost.

When I first started telling Sister Howell, I feel like

some voice inside of me is telling me I'm gonna

pastor the Bethel hole in his church, Sister Wood.

When you, brother, we bet one another's.

Love at first sight, I'm telling you what they were

soul mates. If you never had such an experience as that,

you don't know what I'm talking about.

But when it comes to hitch it up to the

people of God and.

The family that God knows, STIPs is clear with us

that be not unequally yoked together with unbelievers.

It's the same thing in a holiness work if we.

Are not walking in agreement.

Even the pocricy from Amos, I will say, you cannot

walk together unless you be walking in agreement.

It's called in set.

Even the military requires soldiers who wonder why, what's to use?

Trust me, soldiers, marge.

In sinc.

I feel this.

I'm about to explode inside if I could have received

an answer like I'm receiving tonight. Twenty years ago, according

to the Bible, is said Jeremi John the Baptist were

called of God from their mother's womb, and in his

epistle addressed to the members of the church in Galicia.

The apostle Paul described his call in this manner with

these words he's found in Galatians one fifteen and sixteen.

But when it pleased God, who.

Separated me from my mother's womb and called me by

his grace to reveal his son in me, that I

might preach.

Him among the heathen, immediately I conferred.

Not with flesh and blood.

When I got called to preach.

My wife could not call her mother and say, what

do you think about it? Immediately I conferred not with

flesh and blood. In fact, instead of going back to

the sanhedrin of the Pharisees and the scribes of the Sadducees,

who had employed him to eradicate Christianity, Paul went blindly.

You think you're walking blindly. I just ain't seeking it yet.

He went to the place of ant and Nis and

Ann and Ice won't even unlock the door. And I

told the Holy Ghost. He said, Lord Jesus. He said,

I've heard about what this man has done to other people.

I don't really feel like opening my house to a

mass murderer. And the sweet Holy Ghost said brother brother Anna.

Nis received by assault because he is a chosen vessel.

Unto me, Now you gotta be operating in the Holy Goest.

Flesh and blood won't understand how Christianity's greatest persecutor is

about to become Christianity's greatest promoter.

You talking about a spiritual metamorphosis. You talking about a

radical transformation?

How do you know you always be like that?

Give you a spectam in a sinner God's will?

Do I come out like their boy?

It's caught being in my elephant, I said.

It's called being in my element.

It's caught being in my element.

As long as somebody's out of their element, they are rendered.

Any practice, y'all ask this question.

Ask me, brother Howell, do you think the big charismatic

church off the road would accept you as pastor? Do

you think all the water mixes pow? Do you think

sweet and bitter folks out of the.

Same parent of sern?

Do you really believe my spirit bears witness with theirs?

I'd have to sell my soul to the devil.

I believe it was Brother ray Asher, He said, if

I've ever met a man that has the ability to

pastor Megachurch, it's Jeremy how And I tell you that

charismatic spirit.

Has come after me two or three times. Sister Howe

has been a witness to it.

Oneness preachers have come to me out of the woodworks

at times with my family at buffets and said in

towns that we were just stopping in and said, I

perceive you to be a man of God. I perceive

you to be gifted in special services.

Bulls eye, that's what you want to tell me, baby, dedications,

dedication services. I perceive it.

If we want you to come preach in our big convention,

we believe God will use you in a mighty way.

It was years ago at the preacher Brother Wounde's funeral,

a Oneness pastor come to me, and him and his

wife said, we need you to build down in Naples

and to preach revival for us. Oh come, another devil

will come in.

And you'll try to throw some cards and put cards.

In your hand.

But you've gotta have that spirit that says and the

like they haven't we like Sarah, and I twell among

my other people.

I twel among my own people, with the people of light,

precious faith people.

I'm a saint.

Spirit, Brother Ray asked her, sending me a text. I

believe it was Saturday. He set up in one particular state.

My brother Chip Roy has taught me to do. I

will not give a name in order of the location.

Thank you for teaching me that scholar. I had to

learn the hard way after a few phone calls and

me saying, so what, who cares? Who are you?

Anyway?

I'm sorry I use their name forgive me not. My

brother Jeff has taught me we won't go there.

And enough on that.

But dear brother Asher said, he's preaching somewhere, and he

said the pastor brought in a couple to try to

help them, meaning a couple of people from another church

that has suffered a tragedy. And he said, if you

know who I'm talking about, please don't speak on this

matter with anybody at the church.

But he said, that group of people brought in an

eighteen year.

Old young man, and that eighteen year old man walked

out with the pastor of that church's daughter.

It might have been vice versa, but they came in in.

A short span of time, literally abducted that pastor's daughter.

He said.

When he heard of that, he told Debbie Asher. He said,

sister Debbie. I had a lot to see them idiots.

Try that what Jerevery had he said at Bethel, at

Jeremy House Church, they'd have never successfully pulled off a

spiritual induction.

Brother Jeremy would have.

Discerned it, had made sure it didn't happen if we

had to stand between the innocent Lamba and.

The abduct cat.

I'm telling you right here.

Tonight, David must not want to aniw.

Who hadn't better Lama Supper said, come on now, I'm

telling you here tonight.

Has God called you?

That's what you're feeling in your spirit? Now you've got

a problem with it, because here is a cause I

conferred and not with blessing blood. One time, Paul was

Christianity's greatest persecutor. But we know at some point, Brother Roaduat,

he became Christianity's greatest promoter in that age, if not

for the rest of the ages. When did it begin

to dawn on an apostle Paul that God was calling

him to hire, calling and purpose. He had attained great status,

that had climbed the corporate ladder. But when did it

dawn on Apostle Paul? Was it Ray was sitting at

the feet of Damalil. Was it when he heard the

testimony of Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus? Was when he

heard the hustle and bustle in the streets of Hey,

Come on, I'm after the Holy ghost right here? Was

there some conversation among the Roman soldiers on that down

with the Villa Rosa, that highway that led to gold

Gotha's brow? Did he hear a conversation? They said, No,

he really did rise from the dead. When did it

starting to dawn on him?

Was it when Stephen, that man full of faith and

full of the holy.

Ghosts, was dyed at his consent while he held the

garments of those that were to take.

Such a precious man's life. When did it dawn on.

Him that he would end up being the beloved great

Apostle Paul, that would peel over a half of the

New Testament. When did it press dawn on you that

God was working in you both to will and knew

of his good pleasure? When did you, Puss, come to

understand God wants you?

My God, I'm a.

Feeling it.

Acts twenty six and nineteen. It says Paul speaking to

a Roman king, He said, I was not disobedient to

that heaven division and calling? When did the Lord lay

it heavily on apostle Paul's heart says to how there's

no doubt when he was eating dust on the road,

There's no doubt. But he'd fallen out the steed and

was eating dust, and he would come to him since

his blind But when did it begin? I'm asking somebody

did not win? Did it first dawn on you? When

did it become more than a feed? But of your

imagination that this is going to be.

A reality for me.

Since the Wootin all them years you prayed for a

holiness church.

And fasted, you said.

I need a house of bread.

I need a house of bread.

I'm tired of driving once a year to camp meet

and get fed. I'm tired of there not being any

hold Inness church anywhere around, and the ones that I'm

going to, I'm not satisfied, because I know what real

holiness is, I.

Know what real sanctified living is.

All of them hours you cried and you prayed, went

to bed weeping and said, Old God, what happened to

the glory.

Days of independent holiness works?

What about that day sister, wooton, you realize down there

across from the honeyhouse, it's been sweet, but it's about

to get sweeter. There's a bag her down there.

I just drove by and there's somebody offering fresh bread.

She pulled in.

She asked that woman sitting on the back of an

F three fifty tailgate, said who's that man? She said,

that's my husband, Jeremy. Sis the whoop said where does

the pastor? Well, we're just starting over there at the

Carnelia Drive. She said, I'm gonna go get my husband.

We're gonna park over there across the street and listen.

But I thought i'd get the address to the church.

The rest is history. Since the whoop, when did you

first smell the whiff of the baker man was in town?

If you ain't got the house of bread, you better

pray for a baker to show up.

And if there ain't no baker showing up, you better

move to the bakery.

But Sis, the whoop, when did you first realize there's

a baker man in little bed?

If you ever have to go without it?

Like she stands up often and cries and weeps in

this church and says, you people don't know what you have.

You.

People don't know how blessed you are. She said, all

them years, twenty years. I was in torment, twenty years.

I lacked twenty years. But I guarantee if you talk

to her. There were times that woman is highly gifted,

and the Holy Ghost could say the sweet Holy ghosts

come by and said, it ain't gonna always.

Be this way. I was.

When did it first become more than a fifteny more imagination?

When did it begin to dawn on you?

This is my place, this is my pew. I remember

before I was preaching, the Holy Ghost was moving mightily.

I was in another building and God spoke to me

so clear, he says, though, when an audible voice echoed

in the chambers of the quarters of my heart.

And he said, I will cause you to stand before

my people.

And I said, Lord me me, I've never even preached,

I don't even teach under school me. And he said yes,

I said, into the I will cause you to stand

before my brother Jesse.

This morning, when the hole egos capt to moving and

you were obeying God, I was reminded of when it

first began to be a reality. I was a little

young man like Brother Ethan, and he planted the seat

of my heart and just let me know his plans,

and then t s this morning, I realized.

That's what our text says. Then David perceived that God

had made him ken might since the mote. At some

point you perceived it's real, Sister Him. And I still

had that beautiful letter you wrote me seventeen half years ago,

sis to him, and I treasured. She said, if I've

ever felt like a man was destined to me, I'm

past her. It's year, sister Him, and I know at

some point you perceived this is a reality.

I remember, dear brother, Sister Platte, they're not here, but

dear daughter.

That was a prodigal us here tonight. I remember brother

Platte coming to me, and I'm not boasting being here.

Agnner Bracket. He come to me after a few services.

He said, you're can't meet Speaker, You're too good for

us here. It was his honesty and his humility that

fascinated me. It was the uniqueness of Duke hamp And

that fascinated me. It was the love and the friendliness

of Stanley Jean.

Wooton that drew me.

That's when it began to become a reality. Wait a minute,

Bethel's gonna be my home. Give these dear saints of

the originals. I've only got two left of the original six,

Brother and sister Platt or Train car number one and

traincard number two. We had a baby shower theme. Train

them up and the way they should go. Train car

number one and train card number two. Two of them

sit there, Train car three and four.

Duke and gil.

Hammon, Johnny and Barbara Platt right there, Duke and Gil

Hammon and their daughter but she wasn't to college. Stanley

and Jean Stanley, Jean Whoop, and Irish Lynn. I remember

brother Platte, the legendary, was standing up there putting his

hand on that. All them out there at just six

of us plus my family. Brother Don Richard told me

way back then. I believe he remembers this. He said,

if you'll go with me to Oklahoma, you'll never like

a place to preach. Brother, I will endorse you, he

told me at that time. He said, I've never offered

an opportunity of this nature to anybody, to this magnitude.

Take your trunk and trailer and go with me, and

I'll Catapultural Ministry. At that time, I was already too

busy trying to hold down a full time job and preach.

But I told Brother Rich, I said, something's.

Got a hold of my heart, and it has a name.

It's called LaBelle. And when I told Brother Rich that,

he said, well, if you've got a burden of love

for La Belle, they said, my hands are off. Years later,

we were at the wedding of a young pastor in Pensacola, Florida.

Brother don Rich pulled me in the side room and

he said, I.

Want you to know something fun. I've always had you

back in prayer, and I'm proud of you. He said,

I think you've done the right thing. Brothers and sisters.

I didn't have eighty to eighty five people to come to.

I drove two hours to come to six people. But

Brother Platte we stand out there with them on cats

hands on one column and Douke Camon leaning up on

the other, and Brother Platte would say, please don't leave us.

We need you. It ain't that I haven't been offered

big churches recently. I've been offered other opportunities. It has

it that I been that I haven't walked around big

holiness facilities with big campuses and looked at anything any

preacher would burn or dream of having. Am I telling

the truth, brother, that you're Amah. It's not that I

haven't walked out of business meetings where people said we

would love to have you as our pastor. But Sister Howell,

it dawned on me. I told an elder minister one time.

I said, you know, I'm so busy preaching every month

and holding down a full time job. I said, but

I can't shake LaBelle. And I tell you, Mama, brother Philip,

I said, I can't shake le Belle. I can't shake it.

I don't even know where it's at on the map.

I'm a feeling just like you, your sister. Move my

heart just to wasting and the preachers in here. I

love it when the preacher shows up. It's not for everybody.

I get that, but it's for me. It's not for

every family. I get that, but it's for me.

It's not everybody's burden. I appreciate and understanding that, but

it's for me. Sister Whoop, When did it dawn on you?

Oh my, it's become a reality. Oh my, brother, Christian.

The first time I met your dadd He's probably been

fifteen years ago. Brother Philip was preaching recently. He said,

he remembers this as an evangelist.

Pulling the trailer.

I got in my vehicle and I said, God revealed

to me that brother Aaron Wood is to preach the gospel.

Brother Philip was a little type of a kid, he said,

I remember my daddy marketed way back then. It dn'd

on me. It occurred to me.

I recognized that.

I realized that I saw it become a reality three

weeks ago. Does anybody in this building feeling the love

and the goodness had a great to God besides me,

Sister Wooton and Brother Nathaniel. When did the Lord lay

it heavily on Paul's heart that he would pen more

than half of the New Testament back to David even.

While Saul was king the Lord.

Saint Samuel took when David as king, was this the

moment when he realized who God had called him to be?

I think not.

I think it was before that.

I was in Verona, Virginia's Sister Simmons, in your former

home church, in your pastor's church, your pastor whom I

highly admired.

We walked out of a camp meeting service.

I was not even preaching yet God speaking to somebody understanding.

God wants to use you. I walked through that big fellowship.

Paul got near the glass doors and there was a

big preacher man and somebody pointed him out, said that's

Lee's stricker, And I said, man, he's an intimidating one,

is it in? Actually I just cleared the glass doors

innocently looking for hamburgers or hot dogs or whatever's on

the men you brother Jip, and.

Brother Lee drops his fried.

Chicken and he says, just like this, who are you,

young man? Son? That'll put the fear of God in

a young man. You're new here, you're new in our country,

You're new in our territory. And he stood up and

he rose to about six foot forward. Seemed broadness. I

don't know how big that man was, but he looked

like Eliath of Gath at that time.

And I was little David. Who are you, young man?

He said again.

I said, I'm Jeremy Hamwell from South Florida.

Are you a preacher? I said, no, sir, He said,

you will be.

The says God you will be.

And he pulled me to the side. Comeing, brother Ethan,

and he grabbed me by the shoulders. I'm talking about being.

I can hear from God.

When first darn on this boy, and he said, listen,

me and my brother William, we fought the giants of

our day.

He said, there will come forth an ispanaph. He said,

he will.

Swing a different sword in your generation. But I perceive

you to be a giant slayer, he said, young man,

be lying hearted, and be courageous.

And slay the giant.

So have your generation. I'm colored you rape in there.

I had a little inside in the golf.

Wan have you overceive some intelligence of some information and

some me inside. The next night, brother William Streetfor's camp meeting,

the Holy Ghost was moving, and as the Holy Ghost

was moving, a preacher ran to me, I will never

forget it for as.

Long as I live.

And he started hollering in my ear.

One of these days, do I's gonna call you out,

the pastor, And I'm thinking, I'm not even preaching.

Yet gonna call you, And I think, oh God.

Y'all realize what has happened.

Around here tonight?

The mater two or three witnesses. Oh, thank God for prophets, preachers, oracles.

Be the woman of God that can hear from God

back to David. So when was it? Was it when

the elders of Judah came to anoint him to be king?

That was just one more confirmation. Hey, he was annoyed

in three times.

He was anointed by Samuel, he was annoyed by the

elders of Judah and Sister how after he was annoyed

by the elders of Israel after that kingdom that had

been busted. After Saul's death, he began to nify because

he was the plan of God to bring birds of

a feather together. Come on, God in Heaven, don't let

somebody be blessed more than you and God speaking of you,

don't let sister Woot get a double blessing. I don't

let her hijack Go Listen, you ought to be the

one thanking God that he's mindful of you. The summer said,

what is man to tw mindful of me? Of the

some man that tell visitors me? When was the moment

when he realized who God had called him to be?

According to the Word of God? There was another time.

When David was anointed, and another time when David was anointed,

but notice our golden text. And David perceived that the

Lord had established him as king over Israel, and that

he had exalted.

His kingdom for his people Israel.

Say, it's for the sake of others that God brings

you forth. It's for the sake of others that God

brings you up. And can I ask you a question.

Is it good enough that it's for the sake of an.

Iris Wooton or a Francis Dale Hammond or Robert Duke Hammon,

or a Johnny Platter or Barbarak Platt, or is Jackie Walker?

Is that good enough?

It was for the nation of.

Israel Satan that David came to.

Such a time as this. But you know what's, sister Howard,

it's good enough. If it's for my children's sake, it's

good enough. If it's for my wife's sake, it should

be good enough. If it's for your husband's sake, it

should be good enough. If pits for your old sake,

for your old sake, Peter said, save your self from

this untoward generation. Wet tooke I us somebody.

So let's get this straight.

All of these other events had taken place before this

final moment.

David understood that now is the moment.

I'm looking around. The King of Tire has said all

the construction materials.

This is a reality. Sister, how I remember the first

time I.

Wrote to Bethel Holness Church tied check. It was before

I was official pastor here. That was an odd feeling

for somebody who'd been tied into a certain church for many, many,

many many years. Brother rope Gap, do you remember when

you wrote the first time Jack to Bethel Holman's Church.

You've been writing one to Verona Full Gospel.

Church for many years. God speaking, I've got my fingers

out of my ears. I'm not a scotty, those little prat.

Saying I'm going it my way. Blessed be the name

of God and Heaven.

God can slap every one of us ball head and

send a well for us.

He can send all trials.

And had tribulations, calamities, disastrous situations that will put us

out on the shore like JOHNA did, and we'll all

be hurrying to go do what God worpss to do.

Says the woods still getting a blessing, or you exert

you deceiving it to.

David had waited patiently, but at this moment he knows

this is time for me to fulfill that calling.

After being annointed by Samuel the Menaguda in Israel. Now

at this moment, David realized, this morning and again tonight,

let's stand before we dismissed. Maybe somebody will want to

receive the answer. Maybe someone will want to acknowledge the

call they is.

Somebody will perceive.

That God has spoke to them. With sister howl. When

I heard your baby boy that's been cured of cancer,

do one of them amazing drum rolls, I realized, why

I want everybody to realize something I'm not preaching for

me to. There's thirty of you walked out. I'd still

have a big holding his church by holding his church

standards till some of them had run more than fifty.

And some of them that do run fifty. If you

look around, they're not what we call holding his churches.

If they running eighty and the only got twenty holding.

His people, they're only running twenty. Folks, you count sheeps

or goats, A wise shepherd counts the sheeps of the goats.

A wise gardener farmer knows difference in weeds, tears and

grass and the grub and.

Sister whooping.

When did it become a reality? Hey, brother House made

it clearer that he ain't going nowhere. Did it become

a reality when I bought them ten cemetery plots and

I planted one of my old off stream my grandson

with my son Nathaniel. Did it become a reality for

some of you then? Probably so, Sister Rachel, did you

throw your heart in it? When we buried up to them?

I'll set that text.

And I said to the howl clin, I bought ten

barrel plots today in old cemetery.

I'm supposed to be buried.

In central Florida. I bought ten barrel plots today. I

spent ten thousand dollars a day, one thousand dollars a

barrel plot, I said, for my beautiful grandson Jepter. Sister

Rachel replied, in less than three minutes, I still have

this greenshop. Here's what she said, Brother jimmy average, And

she said, and buy my and by my son Jepter

there I shall be buried. And I said, and by

my grandson Jepter, I shall be buried. So around Jepter,

we'll do Nathaniel, Rachel, Jeremy and Cherity.

What about the lady.

It started dawning on me, it's my life, really, calor

Rout preach to us. We finally dawned on me, it's

my world, and I love it too, and I love it.

Rather hysteric.

When them children come to South Florida, they may be bastard,

but buddy, when they came to Fort Fires, they got

on the radar and I could hear it bleep. But

I'm telling you there's been times it's become a reanity.

Wait a minute, is this my land? Is this my me?

I need my daughter hand.

I know she's expecting the baby. I'm being terribly sick.

Anything that would keep her from love and die Coke.

Must be. It's born right, the grand baby in the making.

Man her and I love die cold.

We hear to love it. Come here, sister, Hannah, here

mine not his anyway. We walked us all together.

We'll walk right out that door together with him too.

That's right.

But when Ruth came home home not to visit, because

she had already told me. Now on me, I need

a better example. Come here, sister Irish, I ain't making

a good nail on me.

My hair is too short, because I know that homeess

woman didn't have her hair butchedof. That's about right. She

walked about like that. She had some aide on her.

Old John let her grab you by the arm, walked

down and out. She went home crying. Church and.

Ruth told her.

Rue said the moments listen, O people's back there, but

their paper right all. But I will tell you such

where you go, I'll go where you are planted in

the earth. There I will be planning. It wasn't long.

Mama and Day only said, go out in Tampanine in

the field of bowbans, just be a little servant.

I wonder when it goes. I've known her.

When she would be queen of the estate. Was it

when they owed me led her through the game?

I believe so.

Jeremiah, Isaiah and John the Baptist could say, Ever since

I've been a little baby, I've known something was going on.

Ever since I first met that woman, I've known there's

a kindred spirit. When did it dawn on her? When

she realized I need a.

Bow as.

Get some tissues?

Naow me sitting right there, Ruth, Baby, we'll come home.

You're gonna have to work the fields, big dog bo

as he said, tell the reapers to leave a little

something for Maama and Naomi and her daughter Ruth. Ruth

come along, and.

She said, funny thing, seems like there's a little extra

for me. It's a funny thing.

It seems to do such a.

I'm so blessed. She brings a bounty. Has anybody got

a blanket?

A blanket? A blanket? Hey, man, come your sister, Hannah

represents the sheath. Take it to Mama and Naomi. Mama, Naomi,

look what I got today. Naomi looked. She said Lemon

leg was a big landowner. I'm sure she thought. She said,

that's not the.

Way gleaners do.

They don't come home with that.

That's what harvesters come home. They only looked at Ruth,

and she said, what did the man say to you today?

What did the preacher say to you when you were there?

What did the prophet say to you when you were there?

But when I said something like, hang old baby, it's

just a little lie, you'll be sweeting on the mistake.

I love somebody loved.

That smell in the nothern lie been just a little

lie love being well, they.

Sleep good, said God.

If God has dealt with the heart of any tonight,

knowledge in all to call. I want you to move

forward right now, in the name of Jesus, by.

Faith, by faith, anybody by.

Faith, a promise, a heuman, a dream becoming in reality,

a human coming in an existence, a blessing being possessed

by you, anybody, right now, come up in the name

of Jesus, to.

Say, this is my reception of what God intends to

do for me.

Brother Beauffred, it's been sweet, but it can get sweeter. Brother,

brother Jacob, it's been sweet. It could get sweeter. God

can bring them daughters down. Mother, brother sister stare it

it's been sweet. How could it get any sweeter? Hey

man Bethel, it's been sweet? How could it get any sweeter? Hey,

brother Caleb, she is prepared, She is prepared. I want

the brothers to lay the hand on the brothers. I

want the sisters to lay a hand on the sisters.

And I want you to say, God, I understand that

you want to use me. I recognize God's.

Work in my life.

I recognize this is.

The Lord's doing and it's marveless in my sight, old taste,

and see.

You've experienced it.

Now realize it and let it come into existence. The

King of Tires sent workers have supplies to David. David

realized it's happened. It has happened, just as Samuel prophesied.

It has happened.

Tonight, I want you to focus on the Lord. Fixate

your mind and your attention upon the Lord.
