  60. joking with Brother Jesse Wednesday, night, said I was, amen,

  61. it's not good to be envious. I told him, just

  62. kidding around, said I'm a little bit envious of you.

  67. They may realizing that they can't let the devil or

  68. do what God's doing, and they live and want to

  69. listen to a song.

  70. We're gonna look at as chef.

  71. At number twenty seven, start around verse number fourteen into

  72. the year, and we're gonna be skipping through this to

  73. grant the context of the burning here, and then we'll

  74. give them to the message. And when fourteen said, but

  75. not long after there arose against it a tim pitch

  76. and tempestuous when called your rocodon.

  77. Amen. Now we'll read on through fifteen to sixteen.

  78. And when the ship was caught and could not bear

  79. up into the wind, we let her drive, and running

  80. under a certain island which is called Clauda. We had

  81. much work to come by the boat, if you want

  82. to remember that name right there. And man, sometimes things

  83. in the word of God. And you wonder, Amen, are

  84. they just there and man, they give you details? Or

  85. is there a reason that's there? And and then God

  86. opened my understanding, and it really impressed me to look

  87. into that.

  88. And we'll it mean, get the context here in a minute.

  89. Reading verse number twenty nine, the Bible said, then, fearing

  90. lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast forth.

  91. They cast four.

  92. Anchors out of the stern and wish for the deed.

  93. So they cast four anchors out of the back of

  94. the boat. They've been to flower down and holder. Amen.

  123. Amen, but one of these days you will.

  124. But amen, sure enough, Pastor insmate the preaching. He man,

  125. I started sneezing violently and man like eight times in

  127. from there down.

  128. With my science and Amen. So we're gonna get through

  129. this as y'all help us tonight.

  130. And Man, I was at work, amen, and I had

  131. a message on my heart, and I had a thought

  132. that was running through my mind.

  133. And then I woke up.

  134. And sometimes the Lord will do that, and I love

  135. that when he gives me something to muse on for

  136. the day.

  137. Man, But you all are anybody that that's had that happen.

  138. When you're aware of the d ay, Man, if you

  139. let it slip and then five minutes later.

  140. You won't remember what it was.

  141. And I say, man, that's a that's a problem on us,

  142. that's not a problem on God's already.

  143. You should have knowed you down somewhere where you could

  144. refer back to it. Well, I had a busy, a

  145. busy morning, start off, really busy.

  146. But when I hit, when I.

  147. Hit the ground, my fee hit the ground out of

  148. my suburb, and they meant headed towards built at Number

  149. one where my office is there.

  150. The words propped him too my head and they wished

  151. for the day, and and and and raven.

  152. When God gives me something in that manner, I generally

  153. end up preaching in a short while after that. And

  154. I know when God has given me a message. I've

  155. been preaching for a little while now, eight or nine

  156. years now, I think, and I knew God had spoke

  157. to me, and I slipped my mind and I said, Lord,

  158. I know that was you, And I just turned a

  159. still small voice. Well, and I keep a Bible on

  160. my desk. A man, I don't know if you keep

  161. a bible there at your work place. It's a great testimony.

  162. And say, hey, I'm a Christian, I'm that bible. I

  163. keep my Bible right there. Amen, it's at the corner

  164. of my desk. They all coming this way. I put

  165. it right where they got a seat. I don't bury

  166. it under the papers and all of that. And so

  167. I had it right there in the corner, and a little, still,

  168. small voice said to me, will open your bible and

  169. I'll give it back to you. You may think that's crazy,

  170. but I promise you.

  171. Amen.

  172. I lined to you.

  173. Amen.

  174. The minute I opened my Bible again, God whispered them

  175. in that little phrasing to my heart.

  176. Amen.

  177. And it was the birth of this sermon here and

  178. in our textas a well known narrative of the Bible,

  179. maybe the longest lasting documented storm in the Bible outside

  180. of that that brother Noah would have to face.

  181. Amen, this storm of your Rockladdan here that they find themself.

  182. And there's many Amen, things that lead up to this,

  183. And I amen, I feel.

  184. I can preach for five hours on all of this

  185. that's founded.

  186. In the chapter number twenty seven.

  187. I had to decipher through it, and then I'll confess

  188. to you what Pastor kind of told us earlier.

  189. Amen.

  190. I wrote this sermon at once and had I rewrote

  191. one in a while. Amen, when I knew Amen, I

  192. missed the context of what God Amen was speaking. But

  193. if I can, Amen tell any of you young preachers anything. Amen,

  194. if you get to the end of your notes and

  195. you ain't and you feel like, Amen, it ain't got

  196. what God initially spoke to you at the beginning.

  197. Amen.

  198. If you let something sidetrack the thought God gave you

  199. a man, it's best to restart.

  200. I can tell you from experience of preaching the sermon. Amen,

  201. only once in my life have I ever done it?

  202. And I've shared it with my brothers.

  203. Amen, have I ever Amen, went to the poop it

  204. and felt like when I left, I missed it.

  205. And let me tell you a man that put me

  206. through a man of training.

  207. That I don't ever want to go through again.

  208. And I've never thinks to God, I'm ever they been

  209. made that mistake again, God will let me go to

  210. the school of hard knocks.

  211. So I had to rewrite this again, Amen, and make

  212. sure that I captured.

  213. What God had told me here. And there are many

  214. storms to reference in the Bible.

  215. There's there's a.

  216. Lot of a lot of content here that we can

  217. draw from.

  218. Many storms are well known, and many people of renowned

  219. finding themselves in storms. They men find themselves in storms

  220. under different circumstances.

  221. And then you had people like Peter and Joe that found.

  222. Themselves in a storm, and they were living a good life, mayben,

  223. they were living.

  224. Abuve reproach, and the storm seemingly found the and Amen,

  225. Peter was a man. They been sent by God, Amen.

  226. Into the storm and truly, and then in live sometimes

  227. we are sent amen into a time of testing.

  228. Amen.

  229. And Joe himself also sent in time into a storm

  230. as a time of testing. And then maybe not the

  231. pelting and the beating of the rain, and then Totoe suffered,

  232. but he was a physical and a spiritual storm.

  233. Amen. And I'm not saying tonight someone, Amen.

  234. You're you're on the boat physically. Amen, So amen, help

  235. me here. It's a spiritual thing, Amen. Some things are

  236. spiritual in context. And then so Jonah though would find

  237. himself in a storm, Now his storm was because of his.

  238. Sins and something here at the beginning I want to.

  239. Stress to you is a storm serves a purpose, and

  240. this storm purpose seemingly was to make tola reconsider his

  241. response to God.

  242. Amen.

  243. And Tolah was a stubborn man.

  244. Jolia was someone in the the Bayer saw a scott

  245. of Ponta left out.

  246. Of parting rebellion, and the Berta gets consturrected, given to

  247. him specifically of it.

  248. But Toniato is all the way God a man what

  249. he wanted to do.

  250. Now I want to preach a little bit about Jolah.

  251. Later eventsal keep this in mind. Shown us storm wants

  252. to help him reconsider his response. Right now, Apostle Paul

  253. is now a man on his in the middle of

  254. his fourth documented storm, and the word of.

  255. God he is handed towards his fourth shipwreck.

  256. Apostle Paul had already been through Amen, three shipwrecks, three

  257. storms found enough to record ship He is now in

  258. the midst of a fourth storm, and he has handed

  259. Amen to.

  260. Wards a fourth shipwreck. I mean, I can't find to

  261. think of anyone in the Bible but chose the storm.

  262. Remember some of these examples did end up. May man

  263. eat a storm because of choices they made, and the

  264. others because of choices.

  265. The seasons to down around him, the truly human in

  266. the real star because of your choice.

  267. You don't choose the story. You choose your will, You

  268. choose your desire. Hey, you won't out the wind? Well,

  269. God help us tonight.

  270. And then Paul would be joined by a group of

  271. soldiers under Julius's command. They been known as the band

  272. of the Augustus Band. They mean, I believe in thirty seven.

  273. If my numbers take it up, and if there were

  274. two hundred three storing sixteen souls that.

  275. Ended up in a storm because of.

  276. Someone's choice, oh God, Now their direction would take them

  277. to wards it of the universe, number seven, and they

  278. would fight severe winds and lose much time. And and

  279. then they would dock at Fairhaven there at crete and mean, but.

  280. Not not launched there because of what appeared to.

  281. Be a man a place that was not conducive or

  282. commodious for them to launch and burst them at twelve.

  283. You can read a little bit about that Leaven. Let's

  284. see what the word says.

  285. And because the haven was not commodious the winter in

  286. they been the most part advice to depart them also.

  287. If by any means they may attained.

  288. For Nisia and their winter, which is a haven of Kreta,

  289. and lie the world of.

  290. Southwest and northwest.

  291. And then so now, amen, greace God, they're trying to

  292. move on up the road.

  293. After the advisements, they met up.

  294. The apostle Paul and said, I perceive, and then this

  295. is gonna be a bad idea.

  296. And sometimes the preacher and your life to say, I

  297. for see this is gonna be a bad idea.

  298. I bet this is gonna be a shipwreck.

  299. Amen, Ada, come well God that we'll call anyway, And

  300. now listen to the.

  301. Man of God.

  302. I know this may be something you've already heard.

  303. They're with you a many while I preached you up

  304. what d and it laid on my heart they been

  305. Surely the Ptarney couldn't be wrong them. Surely the experts

  306. couldn't be wrong Sully by him, and ideas aren't that bad?

  307. Are But when your ideas of man, you're a suffriger

  308. keep him from the world of daughter preached by the preacher.

  309. You already heard it. They went for starting winds.

  310. That's appear rad that's in your forecast, and you decide.

  311. To go the wrong way, but you me a shipwrack. Amen.

  312. They didn't want to go for it right, Oh God,

  313. you read that. It said, for he was where.

  314. We got people to come to church and to kill

  315. the past. Right, going far, I just think going and

  316. I just didn't abide by the word of God. God

  317. gonna help us Christ and ask God and then to

  318. bless us. I've already felt his presence. And then they say, Lord, we're.

  319. Not going far. And then we just want to make

  320. it to Phanisia. And then sometimes we say we ain't

  321. going far. But friend, one step away from the will

  322. of God, we'll put you in a storm. Well, they said,

  323. I'm just going up the road a little ways. And man,

  324. I'm just doing it.

  325. Man, finding a better place to winner. I'm finding a

  326. better place to abide. Okay, I think.

  327. Light it off.

  328. For said.

  329. The right, I gonna do way out I got if

  330. I next him. Now you're at Fred.

  331. Now they got a toast.

  332. Now they lie.

  333. I hold my heart of a one day the minister,

  334. one of them, not the leader. They number sholing. The

  335. majority of experts couldn't be wrong.

  336. And then the shift cap and signed against Paul. They

  337. done all their soul signing against Paula. They don't matter

  338. what they say, what God is some.

  339. Matters they were, assuming they obtained their purpose, they'd loose

  340. from pere Haven and verse thirteen.

  341. They been in the verse fourteen. Let's read that.

  342. But not long after there a rose against it, a

  343. tumpestuous wind.

  344. Call your rocadna. How far did they give up the road?

  345. How long did they make it? Brother Hillab they said?

  346. But not long do they kill run off for a

  347. long time. You think you're not older for news of

  348. an old but you won't even make it out. You

  349. won't even make it not long now. Now I need

  350. to see this. Not every storm is a judgment, and

  351. not every storm is just a test.

  352. They didn't what those of you that are probably in

  353. a storm of judgment, like you say it's just a test.

  354. They've been with those with you with all his hearts

  355. in the test. Wonder he's a judgment.

  356. Let me say that again, amen, those of you in

  357. a storm of judgment her life to chalk it up

  358. to just a test, it's not.

  359. A just to test.

  360. Sometimes sometimes it's tall trying to put you back in alignment.

  361. With his word and trying to check you.

  362. The storm songs are purpose. These men depur from hell,

  363. tear haven, not believe in the words of.

  364. The Man of God, and discrediting the warning you freakful

  365. wind for me and not a chola left for it,

  366. willingly choosing, and then the.

  367. Goal directly against the real of God. And then how

  368. many make ship record their faith by falling prey. The

  369. man of the same laughs in chutchment a man first

  370. team with a woman nineteen said, and then a verse

  371. of scripture the top of how and then some had

  372. a faith, and some had good conscience, but then there

  373. was some that put it away, and they made shipwreck up.

  374. If you can't do it with a good content, then.

  375. I don't put your good content, Araya.

  376. Put it away in Contuchier, and you can't. I've been

  377. doing a the Java and put content, and I hear

  378. they just stop it up. What do you make ship

  379. crack up? Then you can't do it at the hosm

  380. and not feel curding and DeFi of it.

  381. They're goin to stop.

  382. There are a people that have a sound boat and

  383. half pasted for a good bias. But because they put

  384. their good conscience away payment spiritual shipwreck. We could end

  385. up in a storm to call them a lack of

  386. response to the words of warning.

  387. We can also get yanked into a storm because of

  388. the choices of our company.

  389. But the storm has a purpose and the lift reburse

  390. number eighteen, and then I know I'm laying a foundations

  391. to trying to get somewhere tonight. We being exceedingly cast

  392. with a tempest. The next day they lighten the ship,

  393. and then now they begin to lose the extra burden.

  394. I mean, if your storm is not made you and

  395. did not make you.

  396. Lay aside the weights and the sins in your life,

  397. and then the storm has not been effective. They mean,

  398. if you were coming out the other side of the

  399. storm saying I weathered it and then in the Thaniel's

  400. own power, and then I was successful and Nathaniel's on power,

  401. may man, and I didn't lose anything in the storm

  402. of judgment. They man, I'm still the Faniel, stubborn, rebellious,

  403. the Faniel out there.

  404. That I'm not praying, I'm not stubborn.

  405. I'm saying, if this is you, and then I'm being gracious,

  406. You'm not calling some man's here. And then if this

  407. is you and the storm hasn't changed you. The storm

  408. has it made you pray hard?

  409. The store ain't made you here yourself to God and

  410. be a prophet of God. Had I not tacked on you?

  411. And if it hasn't affected you, but there were only

  412. me a greater storm.

  413. They begin to lose that burden. They begin to lay

  414. up the ways in the sands. They've been praised God, God.

  415. They mean in neither and when neither sun nor stars

  416. in many days appeared as no sponse, tempests laid on.

  417. Us, all hoped that we should be saved.

  418. With them taken away, they find themselves in a bad

  419. situation because ancient mariners, they man, I believe us in

  420. term there they man would use the sun they mean,

  421. to tell the time, and would also use the stars

  422. to find direction. Right they then, So now these people,

  423. they men are here on the on the sea, a

  424. part of the Mediterranean Sea. But they have been more

  425. specifically called out.

  426. They've been by the writer Luke. Here they been to

  427. kind of give you a better they've been idea where

  428. they're at. They been. So they're here on the sea.

  429. You they mean that they've lost they've been an ability

  430. they been to tell and then what new day is.

  431. And then so from them there and we just didn't.

  432. They went to and mean a thing there in Saint

  433. Augustine that explained all of this, And it's really fascinating

  434. the nautical way. And then the ancient ones used to

  435. have been plot their course and they would track when

  436. they hit the noon day to know and then they

  437. would use the stars to tell which where they were going.

  438. Really fascinating stuff here.

  439. But these men find.

  440. Themselves in a fix because they can't tell.

  441. Where they're at.

  442. And when you sealed your conscious to the point, you

  443. can't tell where you're at.

  444. When you sealed your.

  445. Check up to the point that tells you no rolling

  446. the powers through the part to you're in a deskment stay.

  447. You've had it a ship respiritory, you played aside, but

  448. theod conscious and I'm now dashing now the die. The

  449. bibles full of those, they would say, with a hard iron,

  450. and the Prince God, you need that.

  451. Checking your life. This is a state, amen, a bad

  452. state to be in. They meant to have let your

  453. spiritual sense they man to leave you. They meant to

  454. go above and beyond the check. Amen, you may need

  455. a revival of conscience.

  456. Sho. Amen, But it's been that way so long. I've

  457. lost hope of being saved.

  458. They had lost direction, they had lost the light the man,

  459. and now they're saying, I don't even know if I'm savable,

  460. Oh God, and man, I hope.

  461. No one here tonight is.

  462. Saying the devil theymen have stole your faith and you

  463. can't overcome anymore. Amen, and you've lost your hope of salvation. Amen,

  464. my friend, there's still hope.

  465. And when on to get to that in.

  466. A minute, an when I need to paint a clear

  467. picture of the parable God showed me here in the

  468. world of God.

  469. They've been the.

  470. Curtain current car or Christians. They meant to take life

  471. and lacks of days of car They been to sit

  472. insigh and in the reason don't.

  473. Real and able realize and they met every choice they

  474. they will lead.

  475. They meant to say sheltering hen or a store that

  476. is a correcting story.

  477. That we have been. Choice will lead to one or

  478. two things. They been God being pleased with you or

  479. displeased with you.

  480. And if he still loves you up and he's displeased

  481. with you, then he will hal They now a response

  482. and it.

  483. Will be u a chasing up for those who love it.

  484. He will chase a repet him at some time. That

  485. takes a start to get you to wake up and

  486. realize you better listen to the preacher. Next time, you

  487. better take it serio.

  488. Phrase God, God, there was one man had been through

  489. the storms before him, and he knew the remedy was prayer.

  490. Now, let me remind you, hey, man, let me remind

  491. you of Jonah who found deliverance right.

  492. Now Jonah, chapter number two and verse number two. The

  493. Bible said, Aye. Jonah said, ay, oh God, that some

  494. people would be able to leave and in the houses

  495. of worship across the marathon, and say.

  496. I cried. I cried by reason of my affliction unto

  497. the Lord, and he heard me. Now what made him cry?

  498. He tells you, by reason? What is affliction? Stubborn?

  499. Jodah b in a best of that's all.

  500. They was trust and.

  501. Recklessly endangered others. But without repentance, he was stolen overboard.

  502. Do you understand what I'm saying?

  503. Without repentence, he was willing to be God for the pillow. No,

  504. you're just obeyed, and.

  505. There's people not concerned with the fact. Man that they're

  506. lack of opinions to.

  507. God and that they could stand upon him and pay

  508. the consequences that Jonah, amen, by the mercies of God,

  509. was subjected to something up that made him reconsider his experience,

  510. because storm did.

  511. And that's Friday.

  512. If you're in a story, it should make you reconsider.

  513. Here is fun to God.

  514. But Jonah had to get in the place even where

  515. affliction wouldn't make him reconsider.

  516. And he said, Amen, what time of afflicting all you

  517. all knowing you're aware, but to hear the man that

  518. went through it describe him for the wood? He said,

  519. out of the belly of hell.

  520. Cried high, Oh, God an the gold. One had to

  521. put some on him and been in a belly of hell.

  522. Experience to make your way realize they man? Was he

  523. out of the belly of hell? Cried aye? And now

  524. hurts my voice. Oh there's a promise there. Remember there's

  525. also a scary check to those they member that still

  526. or burned, they remember by what they're going through.

  527. Amen, you are to bear with me while I get

  528. through this, because this is what God gave me. When

  529. I got said, I kind of see it as a

  530. parable when I've often made it known that the men

  531. sometimes when I read the Word of God, even in

  532. my mind and does have taken out of context. But

  533. they may have my imagination and all that may take

  534. me down a different trail. Amen, see y'all bear read me.

  535. I read verse number sixteen for a purpose and running

  536. under a certain island which is called Cloda. We had

  537. much work to come by the boot and I've read

  538. this and then checked to wonder. Amen, it's just just

  539. one of those names dropped in the Word of God.

  540. It's just just one of.

  541. Those appearances they man up an island that that Amen

  542. doesn't have SIGNI significance. A man, it's just the detailed

  543. ridings Amen of the prolific author Luke.

  544. A man, it's he details such a wonderful way.

  545. They meant to understand the happenings that happen in Luke's live.

  546. Amen, and let me tell you my title here.

  547. I mean, I'm here to preaches someone from Cloda to Malta.

  548. They man, if don't bear with me while we get

  549. through this. They mean Cloda Amen means broken or lamentable.

  550. Now lamentable in the arcade meaning means full, full of

  551. or expressing great sorrow or grief. So here they find

  552. themselves in a terrible storm, in a horrible stake.

  553. Amen. But the ship they mean that they are bored,

  554. They been gold by, they be in a place.

  555. This very name means an expression of sorrow.

  556. Amen, in grief. Amen. And truly we are bored, the

  557. great ship of Zion. Amen, And we are all apart

  558. the men up the glorious bride of Christ. Amen. But

  559. here amen, the they been in bed in recent weeks

  560. we fell. They've been the old ship of Zion.

  561. Let me just put it to you like this, they've

  562. been breathed by the island of Plauda.

  563. And give some of those that are in a storm a.

  564. Chance to repeal, to a chance to read. They men,

  565. you have a whole church. They go by it, and

  566. those who they go steal me. Since me lay out

  567. on the floor and travail they been.

  568. But Amen, there was many on the ship of the Jesse.

  569. And then I find no account of the expressing sorrow

  570. for disc.

  571. Obedience, or that they've been talking with God, or their

  572. breath of the how they had vexed him and went

  573. against his mea may, but I.

  574. Wondered at not is the somewhat in the middle of

  575. the storm.

  576. That's where anything call them expression and been sorrow up

  577. for breaking God's hard maybe to bind themselves. And then

  578. on the other side, this didn't come out of the book.

  579. And I mean, sure, now you've been telling them, then

  580. I'll have to tell you that out there a little ways.

  581. But I really feel this the servance pacific or someone,

  582. And then.

  583. I didn't And then get this out of the commentary.

  584. This is for somebody.

  585. Here's an you've been wishing maybe for the day and

  586. hoping for his pastor would say yes, o endshine aymen

  587. in your life again and in wishing for the day

  588. that you would feel they man out connection with God

  589. like you've once had again.

  590. And then by ha, you done your part.

  591. And then when the church Amen, and holding goes, tongues

  592. and interpretation go forth. Andy man, do you render you

  593. as an individual? Or do you get focused on what

  594. the ship's doing? And then because what the ship's doing

  595. is good enough, and then what the old gospel they

  596. been shipping is doing isn't good enough for you, This

  597. isn't good enough for me.

  598. Maybe it has to be a personal experience with you

  599. and God.

  600. Amen, you have to get to a place, aymen, where

  601. you humble yourself down.

  602. Amen, and you visit, amen, a place of bucking mass. Amen.

  603. Here I've already said, the Church has experienced this time

  604. and time and again here lately. And then but you

  605. continue in the storm because you have Amen, having rendered

  606. your heart. And then you wish for the day and

  607. the stability of Malta.

  608. Amen.

  609. But it will fit a man.

  610. First take a trip to come Clada, a man a

  611. trip to Calvary, if you will.

  612. Now.

  613. Verse number one of chapter number twenty eight talks about

  614. an island called Melita. And then in ancient times this

  615. is also referred to as Malta.

  616. And man, now the meaning of Malta. Amen. There were sailors.

  617. Back in that day that they say, name this island Melita,

  618. and then Melita comes Amen from this word Malta and

  619. Malta means the refuge. And you will not make it

  620. to Malta. I'm telling you tonight. Until you go to

  621. a place of brokenness.

  622. You will not make it. And then to the grace

  623. of God, until you first find the.

  624. Place to say, Lord, I've disappointed you, I want against

  625. your warm I've been.

  626. Stubborn, I want you the man of God. I mean

  627. with pet.

  628. Stumper, stubber stone, storm store mat you sell Clora.

  629. Never take the sick cu Ho, never eat at I

  630. hope I if you will ever come out the other

  631. side of the storm.

  632. And I'm coming to a close already, deny you mean God,

  633. you may I pray, Man you're listening to me, You

  634. may I pray you're taking the warnings of God seriously.

  635. I mean, one man said, and an apostle Paul boarded

  636. the ship a prisoner, they meant, but he left to

  637. the captain.

  638. And in your life it then when you don't take

  639. the preacher seriously, God can put you through.

  640. Some things to make him the captain of your shift.

  641. They mean to make his words they may make you stereootical.

  642. And then there's some men amen in the words of

  643. God through the minister. Wouldn't even make them move their

  644. surjected path one centimeter maybe, But those that they may

  645. find refuge for their families, their children, and their wives.

  646. They been for generations and generation.

  647. To those that take the word of God seriously and

  648. then finding themselves literally and consistent storms.

  649. You can wish for the day all you want. You

  650. can wish for the shower. All you want. You can

  651. wish for the outport of God in your life all

  652. you want.

  653. But sometime to take the trip to Calvin, sometime you

  654. had to do your first once over again. Oh God,

  655. it wouldn't be spiritual, but we could box some people

  656. over the head to not trying to get carried away.

  657. Oh God, if you hope to find refuse to. I

  658. could I get a pano player in a single. I

  659. don't feel like you're ready. I don't feel like I'm

  660. oh man getting more message across the ghurse number sixteen.

  661. They sailed by a nondescript island. The men probably never

  662. looked into it. Men by many, and this is repentance.

  663. There are many that sail through churches and men in

  664. the island. I'm not printed in the majority of Bethel.

  665. You know that, Amen, Let me take a moment to

  666. say that. And then Bethia was a wonderful God of Christ,

  667. a mean but Jonah was an individual that needed mercy, and.

  668. Men in Jonah and men God found the need they mean.

  669. To reach for women. And if you, amen, failed to

  670. put the priority on Florida. And let me say, and

  671. then what I'm saying with that if you fail to

  672. put the emphasis on Calvary in your life and of

  673. repentance with God, you will not find the refuge of

  674. the righteous. Because the strong tower is a strong tower

  675. for who righteous, who can run in it and be

  676. safe in the storm they're righteous.

  677. So is it safe to say, in the storms of

  678. life you may not find a refuge until you're righteous.

  679. It's safe to say. And it's scary to think the

  680. men that many have not put an emphasis on their

  681. righteousness with God.

  682. The pastor talked so wonderfully recently about and in separation

  683. from the world and sanctification in reality actually being a

  684. separation to God. And if you're in this place in

  685. your life, if you've yet to concentrate, concentrate.

  686. Concent create.

  687. O help us, Lord and man your live to God,

  688. the man it's going to take that from you. Create.

  689. Let me take a moment just and I know I've

  690. talked a lot about names, but when it's in the

  691. Word of God, and I don't feel like I'm taking

  692. it out of contest context. The devil is going to

  693. fight us here. Create means carnal or flesh. There are

  694. many people that set sail the sea of life from

  695. a carnal and fleshlook towards and it is those things

  696. in their life that drive them out on the sea

  697. of rebellion without God by their side. And if you're

  698. doing it your way, and then you're destined Amen, for

  699. a jooning experience and in your life. And it doesn't

  700. take the storm, it can take severe affliction.

  701. I have a burden.

  702. I'm not trying to beat nobody over the head, just

  703. trying to share with you.

  704. And in the facts in the Gospel, pastor often says

  705. we should learn from history. And then the Bible is

  706. you're roadmap to heaven if you don't take the stories

  707. and the Bible and apply them to your life.

  708. Amen. You know how God can call storms in your life.

  709. They been unforeseen accidents, Amen, things that happen in your home,

  710. and then things that happen on your job, things that

  711. happen with your finances.

  712. I know I'm shooting in the.

  713. Dark here tonight, and man, could I get a play

  714. in church right now? I feel God has given me

  715. a parable out of this book of the Bible. Too

  716. often we push into the storms. Too too often we

  717. are pushed into the storm because we let flesh govern us.

  718. And the only way to see daylight and experience refuge

  719. again is to be broken. The ship can stop again

  720. tonight at Clora and Calvary, but you personally must visit it.

  721. There were two hundred threescore and sixteen men.

  722. And there was Duke and Paul, and I believe they

  723. may have had a third man if they're looking at that.

  724. So three at the max and two at the least

  725. out of a ship full knew they need to turn.

  726. And there may be two or three tonight. And I'm

  727. not already said, I'm not preaching the bathone, but there's

  728. two or three tonight that there's a claud late.

  729. No, there's a Calvy experience. And you know you don't

  730. have refuge at night.

  731. You know, you don't have refuge on the job when

  732. you're doing things you shouldn't be. You know, you don't

  733. have peace with God like you should, even as they're

  734. an honest heart that would come. These altars are open,

  735. and then you will have to be broken, and you

  736. will have to express a personal expression, and then there

  737. are steps to salvation, I mean, and you've got to

  738. talk with God. And then once you come, and then

  739. someone that feels like Amen, they want to make sure. Amen,

  740. the storms they're going through is and Amen, the judgment

  741. of God. I mean, there's nothing wrong with that. Have

  742. been someone that says, Lord, I just want Lord of you.

  743. I want to God find the safetyn and a refuge

  744. and then the storms of life and I trying to

  745. make this clear come to all of us.

  746. And then when there's different purches torposes, they come to us. Amens, stand.

  747. Stand tonight if you will, let's come and tray as

  748. the singer start sending.

  749. A man Melita. Also, no one has all to the

  750. place of refuge. God wants to walk with God wants

  751. to talk with you.

  752. God is trying to eat your toe. But you must

  753. stop for the lowly, non the script undorified.

  754. Place him port.

  755. Why is it you look past children? Why don't you

  756. look past him? In pretented to God? If you have

  757. disappointed God, then you must ask. Sometimes you must do

  758. your first October and there's no way around it. Spread

  759. and nigh to trust.

  760. Gods of the balls fall to man.

  761. Sometimes it takes sometimes a child.

  762. Sometimes it takes to get about.

  763. Songer did Sometimes it change.

  764. The pas. I'll face the mountain. I'll never faced before,

  765. and that's why I'm calling gone. You know.

  766. I knew it's been a while.

  767. Lord, please hear my fer. I need you like I

  768. never have before.

  769. Sometimes it takes sometimes the trust city. Sometimes it takes

  770. a day.

  771. To be a bold.

  772. Because it's so strong.

  773. But that trust me stime days to trust you mean.

  774. For give me Jesus a botica come true? Would ever life?

  775. Oh about this, I will admit it is wrong. Into

  777. It's some time to change a manta.
