-
And now will you turn with me to the Brook
-
of Deuteronomy. May I direct your attention to the thirty
-
first chapter and the sixth verse. Brother Nathaniel, Jeremiah chapter
-
number eighteen, verses number one through six. Brother Jesse, Salm
-
Chapter number one oh three, Verse number fourteen. How many
-
of you visited the Holy Land Experience in Orlando, Florida
-
back when it was open? Just to how and our
-
family visited it. One of the owners appeared where we
-
were at when we visited, And I'm telling you, I
-
wanted to talk to jan Croups just for a little while.
-
I said, Lord, if you'd send her right by here,
-
I'd like to talk to her about sanctification and separation from.
-
The spirit of the world, the.
-
Orlando Holy Land, Biblical Bible Holy Land Experience. Brother Jesse,
-
Well you know what for those Jens, thank you, SA
-
came down too early. They're fixing the half the South
-
Florida experience. Milton is fixing the.
-
Shower them. Yes he is.
-
They'll be able to say I've had the South Florida experience.
-
Amen.
-
Well, how many of you're thankful you've had the Bethel experience.
-
How many of you're.
-
Thankful you've had the Holy Ghost experience. You've had that
-
experience where God spoke directly to you. That doesn't happen
-
just anywhere. You know, hurricanes don't just pass through anywhere,
-
just anywhere, and don't experience. Well, we're fixing experience here
-
in South Florida and not just every church experience. Is
-
what you all experienced tonight as you heard these elders
-
weep and cry and testify, and let you know God's
-
got your number.
-
Brother Nathaniel.
-
Jeremiah, chapter number eighteen, verses number one through six, listen, church,
-
And the word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying, arise.
-
And go down to the Potter's house. And there what
-
I cause thee to hear my words? Then I went
-
down to the potter's house and beheld he wrought a
-
work on the wheels, and the vessel that he made
-
of clay was marred in the hand of the potter.
-
So he made it again another vessel, asked single good
-
to the potter to make it. Then the word of
-
the Lord came to me, saying, old house of Israel,
-
cannot I do with you as this potter saith?
-
The Lord?
-
Behold as the clay is in the potter's hands, So
-
are ye in my hand, Old.
-
House of Israel. Read that last verse again, Brother Nathaniel,
-
Old House of Israel.
-
Cannot I do with you as this potter saith the
-
Lord behold at the clay is in the potter's hand,
-
So are ye in my hand.
-
Old House of Israel. Again, I want to preach a
-
sermon to hold it goes titled when the.
-
Clay collapses, he catches it.
-
Brother Jesse sawm Chapter number one oh three, verse number fourteen.
-
Or he knoweth our frame.
-
He remembereth that we are done.
-
Let's stand for the reading of our texts. Remembering what
-
Brother Thomas Sterrett said under the power and the influence
-
of the Holy ghosts, he cried out with a.
-
Loud voice, Ah, but doust, Brother.
-
Jesse just read Psalmn chapter number one three and verse
-
number fourteen. He knoweth our frame, that we are but dust.
-
Deuteronomy chapter number thirty one and verse number six. The
-
Bible says, be strong and of a good courage. Fear
-
not nor be afraid of them.
-
For the Lord thy God, he.
-
It is that doth go with thee. He will not fail.
-
Thee nor for safety, did not sister weaknesses to him
-
and say these fairy things. I'd like to ask you
-
to stretch your hand toward Heaven, ask the Lord to
-
be with us tonight and to anoy his serving heavenly
-
Father with thank you.
-
For the privilege to be in your house.
-
I thank you, Lord for the.
-
Annoughting to come from the holy world, the Holy Ghost.
-
We pray that you would anoy this thy servant prive
-
and nobody I am, but doest I pray that you
-
would preach through me, Holy Ghost. I have nothing more
-
than a toil in your hand, and I pray that
-
you would see fit to annay it.
-
God, Nor set a god in my mouth, and help
-
me to say only those things that you would have
-
me to say, nothing more or less. And nought the
-
ears of this thy people, that they might hear what
-
it is the Spirit of God says under the church
-
tonight Here the preached word, not of my words, God,
-
but of your words. But a year help them not
-
to be hearers only, but to heed. Let the sayings
-
go below the shoulders.
-
Not in the mind only God in one ear and
-
out the other.
-
God, let them go below the shoulder saturating the spirit
-
of the soul, the intermost part of that being. I prayed,
-
and may we depart this place joint pull it and
-
not sorroftly in Jesus's name. And Church said, hey, man,
-
and I already had this semi notes, look at your
-
neighbor and say, hey, neighbor, did you know you're but dust?
-
Hey, neighbor, did you know he's the potter and you're
-
the clay.
-
Our text is found in an Old Testament book of
-
the Holy Bible.
-
This morning I.
-
Mentioned the material called leather in the sermon that I preached.
-
I said that I liked the smell of old and
-
new leather. How many remember that statement? Several of y'all do?
-
And great, Well, what are you holding in your hand
-
right now? You're holding a sacred book in leather binders.
-
I still like the smell of a new Bible. And
-
the church said amen. As a pastor of a holiness church,
-
holdiness people like Bibles, and.
-
Holdiness people like by their.
-
Past Bibles when they don't know what else to my
-
hold my desk in that office there's about six brands
-
speaking whatever that means new Bibles. That's a terminate expression
-
of yester year. How many of you remember them, old
-
timers saying his brand speaking new.
-
Hold my desk.
-
There are six brand spanking new Bibles.
-
And I love to crack open the card oil.
-
Cases, that in case or envelop.
-
That leather Bible, for whenever I open it up, I.
-
Get a whip of it.
-
And that a role must smell so good. It is
-
the smell of new.
-
Leather that has never been broken, that has never been.
-
Defiled by the oil of a man or.
-
A woman's hands. Again, that secret book is found in leather.
-
I still like the smell of a new Bible, And
-
the church said, amen, I still like the smell.
-
Of new leather shoes.
-
I still like the smell of a new leather wallet,
-
a new leather belt. And the children and the church said,
-
oh me, Papa's got a new leather belt. Papa's got
-
a new leather wallet. Well, you ought to rejoice over
-
that new leather wallet. And it's okay to prowl over
-
that new leather bell because I don't believe I won't
-
ever use it, but you still should prown about the
-
idea of me choosing to use it. I've raised my children,
-
I've done what I needed a new concerning correction and discipline.
-
And I'm leaving the raising and the rear of them
-
grand babies up to Dad and Marmon. How many of
-
you have confidence that Dad and marm will do a
-
good job. They will mimic a parent the actions of
-
the parents.
-
And I want every person in this building to know,
-
if you choose.
-
To not discipline your child, you will find that your
-
child has been.
-
Spoiled in your very old hands.
-
And so I want to talk a little bit more
-
about that new leather Bible.
-
It smells so good, but I still preferred the look
-
of an.
-
Old one, I said, I still prefer prefer the look
-
of an old Bible.
-
I thank God for that born out leather Bible.
-
Of those saints of God that were in that church
-
house when.
-
I was a little boy.
-
I'm telling you, inside of that Bible, how we're tiem
-
what do you call them things? No notes, the little
-
crazy looking notes, they're pastel colors.
-
Memo notes.
-
Yeah, I gotta rw memo notes right inside of that Bible.
-
You fine memo notes denoting and no where God.
-
Had spoke to them concerning a certain passage of scripture.
-
And you could tell that that Bible meant so much
-
to those people.
-
I believe that people of God still loved the Bible.
-
I remember when.
-
Hypocrite Church of God preacher came.
-
Over to our church there in Lortona, and he scorned
-
manager of mine from unreliing verses of Scripture and his Bible.
-
And I thought, pact cat, hypocrite preacher, you ought to
-
go back to the church that you're p history rather
-
than pastoring and preach some of that Bible that you're
-
over looking. Some of that stuff you used to pull
-
out and pinpoint in your servants, now you're over looking.
-
He was so concerned about the markings of a.
-
Young man in his Bible.
-
When I want you all to know that I have
-
been encouraged at times by some of the notations that
-
I I'd seen in my grandmother's Bible.
-
A lot of times.
-
During services of in that o their Church of God,
-
I would sit between Papa and grinding. Sometimes I would
-
crack open the Bible and begin to read some of
-
the things that my grandmother had wrote about how God had.
-
Stirred her soul in a time of prayer.
-
I want you to know that the people that Moses
-
was speaking to concerning our texts.
-
Were people that had heard directly from God that they
-
were people if you would, that had me may notations
-
in the Bible of how God had spoken to Moses
-
and given their specific commandments and instructions regarding their liveson
-
and Mother Nathaniel and disport It's message. And a whole
-
lot was said about their easy life's history, including the
-
years of their captivity in Egypt.
-
And this book of Deuterotomy is.
-
Chuck fool of history.
-
Concerning the nation of Israel as a nation, they.
-
Had of a loving leader named Moses.
-
So he was a pastor.
-
If you wid a lot of people do not proceied
-
Moses to have been a pastor to these people. But
-
if we study the man, the minister, and the ministry,
-
he will conclude that Israel's first pastor was.
-
To make man Moses.
-
In this Pastor Moses.
-
He spent a lot of time reminding the people.
-
Of God about the covenant that they had with God.
-
They shared this covenant between them and the Lord. In
-
this writing we find Pastor Moses preaching his heart.
-
In this book of the Bible, we find that this
-
man is.
-
Giving gree specific summons or farewell addresses, But in the
-
Daniel he seems somewhat.
-
Disturbed in a spirit.
-
This for one hundred a twenty year old, holy whiteheaded.
-
That man has a few words to give the young
-
rip of snappers.
-
Before that possess the promise and before.
-
He used to go home and be with the Lord.
-
You see, he's preaching the nurse to a second tire
-
of wondering.
-
In the wilderness for forty years. I don't know about
-
you all, but I would not.
-
Be at all excited about a forty.
-
Year camping trip experience in the wilderness.
-
So the two week.
-
Vacation just kind of navigating of charing tearturing.
-
The girl from point out to poor.
-
Me usually would have been okay than forty years of
-
counter tripple in the guess. Even if you Sue has
-
a right is instilling left to the tempso.
-
Of the Tunisa, that is, speak down.
-
Bother morockless palace and call that almighty. I will still
-
not be a lesser in the wilderness expirital that the duration.
-
There telling years.
-
How many volunteers tonight.
-
Would tailor into the frontier of Alaska with better than
-
the thing.
-
We had and commit to forty years not one.
-
Person left read the hell enough they stood upper.
-
They rast head.
-
How many people in the stilling will commit to one
-
week or two week expedition in the wildernesses of Alaska.
-
I will you see about to the dirty handswer among
-
seventy people that will commit to sexual that experience, you
-
see mose To say is addressing people left the sick
-
and tired that the parents.
-
Are making bad choices.
-
So I know that they're wching your colored desert.
-
Babies that have been raised in the desert. And then
-
there holding there the stories the land.
-
Of Egypt, the hundred the stories.
-
Of their parents are being in captivity, and I'm sure
-
they want the the staies stories a pacic lesson whether
-
or not they shp with somebody Elsewer there was nothing
-
at all exciting about being a captivity in Egypt that
-
they could tell the last story that say that, And
-
there's nothing in the eye exciting that about testify about
-
turn the mons, disobedience.
-
In the wilderness and a too weak nature turning in
-
to a forty year disaster.
-
I that's some young person.
-
The rest down in the mod you not do not
-
got it. It can't out it ho a cher, but
-
it will turn out into a lot go disaster.
-
There's a lot of young people in a holiness in
-
pecostal churches following the teachings of.
-
The Ambush, and they're going out to soul LOLd oats.
-
That rebellion is creeping into their hearts and stubbornness.
-
It's beginning to manifest. And Brother Nathaniel, sometimes people watched
-
as to hell an I did they begin to.
-
Leap over the fact that the Dimple has his hands
-
on their little babies.
-
It doesn't matter the age of the person.
-
If it's a fifty your old woman, that's fact slighting
-
Oh God.
-
And turning her heroes and going in a mother direction.
-
It pout trouble the pastor and the first lady. It
-
were trouble the iris to the church. If a standing Manza.
-
Little Johnny and little Susie, it were trouble.
-
Dads of Manse I'm missing.
-
I'm telling you, Mama, she will loose sleeper at night
-
wondering what distant land. Now that's the devil how her baby.
-
I'm telling you the failty of that situation. He is, sir,
-
And I'm telling somebody it's her reality. Here tonight you
-
can be in service.
-
You in good right now and be out of church.
-
The two months up period of timor eximp.
-
With the dolls.
-
You don't understand come on now. You don't understand that
-
the faulty of life. You don't understand your faulty of
-
your temptation. You don't understand the.
-
Frailty of your resistance. It's only die the grace of
-
Todd that every person in this feeling tonight is saved.
-
It's not on our own tenderness, it's not the whole body.
-
It's only because of the turdness of God.
-
You don't understand how easily you could fall. You're never
-
too tall to fall. Ask King Saul about that. You
-
see Moses giving this address Cilly handkerchiefs got a string
-
on it. Moses was given this address to people and
-
needed it. And I'm talking to somebody in this building
-
tonight you needed. Your body is in this building, but
-
your mind is elsewhere. I said, God talked to me today,
-
and I want you to know. You don't realize how
-
close you are to falling. You see, Moses gave this
-
address in.
-
Awe and women form, and we can read and learn
-
so much from.
-
These messages from each of to Canaan. There were two stones.
-
There were places of burial for people that fully intended
-
to make it. There were people that were exciting. They
-
were very much excited. When the Red Sea.
-
Parted by the hen of God.
-
It was not to write in.
-
Moses that party the sea.
-
It was the hen of God. I'm telling you, when
-
God to write it after the.
-
Word, see the weirdest sampra from that chopper party the seeds,
-
the ms con.
-
Jail and wood silent, and on the other or come
-
on now and tell us somebody be married together to.
-
The tim the dancer.
-
Then the summer si that we made the rochesses there
-
the summer said to the season happily made.
-
And I'm cooking up the ma the season with somehow
-
to the retire good in two years.
-
It's thinny two years and flandrising. We're telling you the
-
Bible lift. They're pre running to them, sir, just line
-
the toliber guy. Are you doing this?
-
And we see they go out from their pal till
-
the two relation.
-
There was said of the wrestle, let's go the collecting
-
mana come happen, Okay.
-
You know where.
-
Having received the price, haveing cried over to you. Haven't
-
promised I'll be prepared. Haven't promised I'll be ready. Listen,
-
you gotta be ready, whether you're tired or not. You
-
gotta be ready, whether you go to work or not.
-
You've got to be ready. You got to be packed
-
up and ready to go with. Our human nature is
-
to rock back and take it easy, rock back and
-
take it easy.
-
I'll be okay.
-
I mean, our scouts have already surveyed Kana's land, and
-
they've come back, and we concur that it's impossible for
-
us to infiltrate and infest our promise land. And you
-
know what, brothers Yese, rather than fighting, the good packed
-
and rather than go into battle, they turn their heels
-
at the threshold of the promised land and they wonder
-
in circles in the wilderness.
-
For forty years.
-
I don't know about everybody.
-
In miss feeling, when I'm sure Pastor Moses at times
-
he was tempting to take Josua and Caleb and said,
-
let's just go ahead, the three of us, just like
-
one biblical man said.
-
He said, the Lord can say, why many for my food?
-
The bird yes, saying no, because for the goodness of God.
-
We see Moses being patient, We see Aaron being patient,
-
We see Josuah being patient. You see Caleb being patient
-
calip but the part remains the.
-
Same way that them burying them.
-
He even know they're practicing patience even though they're top battles.
-
Are they're seeing reader or without a cause?
-
The s a practive because who did they say if only.
-
Two years from now you're gonna die? Didn't learn because
-
of of repair?
-
That's stunning missing This is a nicketive, hon the couldn't
-
miss it, and the mercy how tired.
-
It tells us what he's had a sudden night.
-
Even though you make mistakes?
-
Did you are not give you up? I sat daughter,
-
you are my off you.
-
I feel hold to go say this place.
-
A lot of our young people wouldn't they make mistakes, sister?
-
Would they feel like God has given up for them?
-
There's an expression from yesterdayear Old Thomas would say things
-
like this you bone it or I've bonet? How many
-
of y'allre familiar with that expression? They would make a mistake,
-
sometimes tragic, sometimes fatal, sometimes for major or minimal consequences,
-
And na would Deane and Tam have known it, brother, Jesse.
-
I've heard your mama before say, oh kick me.
-
There's a lot of times she has requested of her
-
husband and her.
-
Six children, five boys, and want girl to kick her.
-
We know better than to kick her because she will.
-
Probably kick back her.
-
But one of her favorite.
-
Expressions he is which she's bluid, or she's feeling.
-
Mistake her she put the wrong top of flower.
-
In the midst, or she used too much of.
-
This or that.
-
Her expression is, oh kick me if it ain't any rats,
-
it's all kick me.
-
Who's the only two expressions that she has.
-
She's a woman of few.
-
Words for which she speaks. She speaks words of wisdom.
-
Most of you that know me know I've got a
-
lot of catchy phrases. I've got a lot of sayings,
-
and a lot of you will picked up on her.
-
I convit some you know you'll probably be using, and
-
a lot of them only I'm.
-
Sure you will. You do every here it, sister.
-
I've heard of savan.
-
When they make a mistake, they say over it.
-
I believe it.
-
They're to know who live, You're gonna make a mistakes.
-
The sols you reason, you're gonna fly it had your
-
princer and recall the stift.
-
You said, we cancer no, just the know to be.
-
Then I call I shall an listen you're telling every
-
means her heavy answer, you are a posa.
-
Of your head. Then might talk part o your pacer.
-
Then remember this, so the pet's a liar the precision
-
you had out, Hey, yes you did, brother saying no
-
was at my house recently and his little daughter Natalie
-
was running by. About the time she went running by,
-
he stuck his foot out and he told everybody. He said,
-
I promise that was not on purpose. I had no
-
idea whatsoever that she was going to run by at
-
that moment. The timing was bad. And can I tell you,
-
sometimes young men and young women make mistakes because the
-
timing of the devil is perfect, and sometimes their timing
-
is imperfect. Sometimes they make mistakes and do something.
-
Not willingly but unwillingly.
-
I'm not talking about people commending habitual sin, going down.
-
There to make daters to play questionable.
-
Games on their cell phone that needs the best why pile.
-
Connection they can get, you know better than that, I said,
-
if he winks ago what I was teaching Don Caesar.
-
When you're over there tapping the why.
-
Pie connection they're doing listen to my things. I don't
-
know who in person was.
-
If somebody text you today, they said they've been listening
-
to the podcaster.
-
They've been listening to the.
-
Podcaster, and they said, Pastor.
-
Howell, who beseech you to target the pornography industry.
-
Who beseech you to attack you to pus, who's every
-
time you got her? Somebody?
-
So don't the preacher against it?
-
Somebody got to speak up? And I guessed that this
-
I try and say name without the smarta.
-
So listen, our.
-
Preacher, that's our fou to say us somebody.
-
We're preach against it.
-
But sometimes unwillingly, unintentionally, we trip up, and we fall.
-
After we fall to and we tail. And I'm telling you,
-
sister wouldn't said it tonight.
-
I strive to behold because.
-
He mandated mandated it to be. So I have committed
-
to be perfect because he challenged me to be perfect.
-
And his sister Howell said, I know what I was
-
gonna preach all that. She said, I don't practice sinning.
-
She said, I don't sin every day. I'll go most
-
weeks without sinning.
-
And she said.
-
Sometimes maybe I'm a little impatient sometimes with their grandchildren.
-
Maybe they fluster me because they're not as obedient as
-
Fine was.
-
So you know why that is because we ain't Daddy
-
and we ain't.
-
Mama, and they're not gonna.
-
Listen to us the way they listen to.
-
Dad and Mama.
-
Your mama's nature is the fight that your mama's nature is.
-
Don't know, you know my nature is. So I'm gonna
-
let Daddy get it. Any Daddy don't get it, I'm
-
gonna pray that.
-
Daddy gets it. Oh, nod in this feeling.
-
You're right here.
-
I am not advocating promoting on Chester Piler will fully
-
sin anymore.
-
I am not saying absal sere he's a secret and
-
that God's standing up there to catch you and to
-
turn out.
-
To you and then tell me Copper, I'm telling you there,
-
whenever you make a mistake and you know it turns
-
against the grain of who you are, you know, what
-
tends against the nature and who you lie, just even
-
become a.
-
Chime of God.
-
Ever to an open.
-
Every feel terrible?
-
Have we done a steaming in there?
-
God's w you know?
-
Yet?
-
No?
-
Yes, God, Well, I'm.
-
Just gonna give up because I'm a failure. I'm just
-
gonna give up because I got laid off. I'm just
-
gonna give up because I didn't succeed. I'll tell you
-
what Torradians do. We've got a lot of oranges down here.
-
Ifn burs, you don't succeed, cut the orange in half,
-
joke in it.
-
If it burst, you don't succeeed, cut the orange in happy.
-
I'm telling somebody in this feeling what you need to
-
do is dust the there to offer if your need.
-
Say, let off your elbows.
-
Let's say, deah ba, you might be redressing good as
-
a pastor. That's a persuador. He as a essing your
-
pain and lets you want to.
-
Say, get up, Get up?
-
Here's a how did the present tonight? Are thankful that
-
God is a god of second chances. There are people
-
to spreading their time life beaten of.
-
Suffer because of bad experiences and bad chosses, some of
-
which they had nothing to do with. I want to
-
ask it again, how many have tripped and fallen flat
-
on your face that you've got saved?
-
How many have.
-
Hard to say God, I'm so sorry?
-
When you know what God says, I knew it. I
-
just knew it.
-
I want you to be perfect. I want you to
-
be holy.
-
I want you to be sactified. I want you to
-
be separated. I don't want you to have a cheat days.
-
I don't want you having cheat days. I don't want
-
you having cheat days. But where you make mistakes? Oh,
-
come on now, I don't want you having cheat days.
-
I don't want you having a social drinker every six months.
-
I don't want you view to tell long ready hever
-
talk gets. I don't want you having cheat days. Don't
-
you make a mistake. I want you to know mistake
-
for you to you talker.
-
Saga is kicker that nasty Peter. I have no labor.
-
The sailor. I cannot put here. I said, I do
-
not come here.
-
It's anybody else besides me to a holy good. I
-
don't see today having any problem with my whim.
-
Or my voice, having not teach too much over the
-
last couple of weeks. That's miraculous because God is speaking
-
to somebody tonight in a nutshell. Pastor Moses is telling
-
this second generation the desert babies, to remember God says
-
what he means, and he means what he says, that's
-
another expression.
-
Come yesterday here, how many of you believe that that
-
God says what he means, that means what he says.
-
God was letting these people know, if you are to
-
be blessed, you are to obey the Lord's commands, since.
-
To whom some of them are getting the holy ghosts.
-
Because of what they're doing every day of the week.
-
It's not a mishant. It's not a mistake.
-
Oh, come on, now, there is a defiant.
-
Response to God's commands.
-
Seek God in far forest.
-
I ain't gonna commit to that.
-
Fast and pray.
-
I'm not gonna commit to that hoping myself out of
-
the body hand of God.
-
No, I'm disinterested in that path.
-
When God says I don't know who you are, and
-
I'm disinterested in granting access to you to Heaven, you
-
gonna wish that you hadn't have made that stuff your priority.
-
Shall I keep preaching or ship when go to the house.
-
I ain't gonna volunteer for a forty year wonder in
-
the wilderness.
-
I'm telling you what they're wondering while wandering, Brother Gifford,
-
forty years, you'd have thought somebody had prayed something through.
-
By that time, you'd have thought the leaders over their
-
twelve tribes of Israel with have repented of their ways
-
and said.
-
God, but you please have mercy on me what it was.
-
Somehow they didn't believe it would make a difference in
-
their life. God could have shortened that forty year period.
-
The same way if Judas, when he fell, If Judas
-
had a went to Calfrey and he had all and
-
on that pavement so to speak on them rocks and
-
asked the Son of God, just as the other thief did,
-
have mercy on my despicable, filthy, disgusting, defalled soul, you
-
know would have happened. Jesus would have forgave him system
-
how and i as passed their first lady.
-
A lot of times we.
-
Look to see how people gonna react when they fall.
-
What is their response gonna be. Are they gonna just
-
lay there and sulk? Are they gonna just lay there
-
in power? Are they gonna just lay there and die
-
and give up? I remember one time, reading many many
-
many years ago. It was an exploit of one of
-
the frontiers when while they were on one of their
-
expeditions trying to take hides a greeously bear came out
-
of the woods and attacked one of those men that
-
was in that hunting party, and brother Caleb.
-
Those men decided that there was no way that man.
-
Would live or survive such an attack, and after three
-
or four days of watching him wither away. Now I
-
need I need to check this tonight after church, so
-
you don't hold me to all the specifics in the details,
-
but I'll give you the gist of what happened. And
-
brother saying, if I remember correctly, they left that man
-
for dead because they were afraid of some native Indians
-
of that area coming to take their lives, and so
-
some had already left, and those that were standing watch,
-
maybe it was five or six men, they decided, this
-
man's gonna die, we might as well cover him up.
-
We might as well leave him for dead. I think
-
it goes something like.
-
This, maybe three to four months later, well.
-
They were one of them trained in post trading hides.
-
Out came that man that they had left for dead.
-
Now I'm telling you right now, Brother Jesse. They were
-
certain that that man had been left in that state
-
and that cond and that he had died, and he
-
had been food for the foxes. The wolves and for
-
that very grizly bear that had attacked him. Could you
-
imagine living with the guilt and the shame.
-
Of knowing you left your frind in such a condition.
-
I know a lot of holiness.
-
Pentecostal people just like the priest and those other people
-
that passed by that man that was on the wayside
-
left for dead.
-
I know a lot of people that have left young
-
people that have.
-
Become bitter and hurt and offended in the house of God.
-
And they supposed him to be dead, or they left
-
him for dead, and they just said their worthless God
-
has done with it.
-
But I want you to know the spirit of a.
-
Father as somebody that has not had the clearest mentality.
-
They're gonna get up from there and they're gonna approach
-
somebody after a while.
-
They're gonna say, you may have drucked me up for dead,
-
but I am not dead.
-
I know I even extra I'm make wearing my body's cars.
-
A man, I put some monselt my cut their cups
-
come in, I put some monts, turn my pair headed.
-
But I should not be turning out.
-
I should not.
-
Took them back prepared it turning ropersent I'm not gonna need.
-
To prepare the God said he in this touchdown.
-
Moses to the God will not forsake you. God room
-
not paying who God will not leave you.
-
Forty years is a long.
-
Time, Moses, for you to have to keep putting up
-
with their mast.
-
Forty years is a long.
-
Time for pastor Moses to keep changing dirty diapers. I
-
don't like going in circles in the woods in a
-
boat on a hunt trip. I don't even like going
-
in circles on an airplane. When they start circling back,
-
I'll say, what's wrong?
-
What's wrong?
-
A commercial airliner is not supposed to turn like this?
-
What's wrong? When he missed his path. I don't know
-
how many of you have missed your path to taken
-
some wrong turns, but I know I'm preaching to somebody
-
here tonight, and I want to tell you.
-
When the clay collapses, God catches it.
-
Whenever Adam and Eve were formed in fashion of the
-
dust of the ground the Holy Trium, Godhead, Brother Jesse,
-
they knew that mankind would falter and fail.
-
They knew that they would not pass the test.
-
They knew that Lucifer himself would be too much for
-
them to handle.
-
And you know what happened, Brother Nathaniel, when that woman
-
faltered and fell, they activated the Calvary code.
-
And I want every person in this building and know them.
-
Before the very foundations.
-
Of this world was formed, God had a plan to
-
catch the clay when it collapses.
-
I'm telling somebody in this building tonight, you don't have
-
to give up.
-
You don't have to give out, you don't have to
-
give you. God's coming to pick you up.
-
So we find here in this book of the Bible, many, many,
-
many examples of when Moses is reminding them of how
-
God helped them. And so the one twenty year old preacher,
-
he is trying to help people since the route. He's
-
telling them, I'm telling you, if you obey God, you're
-
gonna have blessings. If you disobey God, you're gonna be cursed.
-
If they are to be blessed by the Lord, you
-
have to obey God's commandments.
-
Is he's what he's thinking?
-
And how many know that that covenant was conditional? How
-
many of you know that there were stipulations in that covenant.
-
They had to hear and they had to heed, They.
-
Had to observe, and they had to keep. They had
-
to have, and they had to hold, They had to trust,
-
and they had to obey. Moses literally sets before them
-
the choice.
-
Of life and death.
-
It is yours tonight. You will choose to either die
-
or live. You will choose the life the words or
-
lose your life, or you will choose.
-
To get up your model, your pastor first lady or
-
the eldest do you will remember whatever Stephen was stolen,
-
he died, but you will remember when Paul was stolen
-
that made the mistake of the leaven him to dead.
-
You know your Paul down, he got on part of that.
-
He be stones her.
-
He trusted himself up.
-
Had he not turned down that the world that somebody
-
made the holding stones that trust.
-
That's a something there. Knock you down, as stupid parish.
-
You should not let her keep it out.
-
I'll tell us somebody's not looking about. I'll tell you,
-
oh that again, I said, tell you ry locks.
-
Up, lots me.
-
Well, I get up. Now. Listen to what the Lord
-
laid upon my heart.
-
For those that are listening to this message right now,
-
towards the end of this address, and due to lorn
-
of me, thirty one and six. We hear Moses telling
-
them what the Lord has said, be strong and of
-
a good courage. For you nothing will be afraid of them.
-
Don't you be afraid of the death. Don't you be
-
afraid of his imps. Don't you be afraid of the
-
hounds of hell that's dipurniture, heals. Don't you be afraid
-
of the enemies, all them ie tides out there?
-
For the Lord thy God, he it is that doth
-
go before thee, and you will not fall thee nor
-
for safety.
-
The Bible rulers in this field and word, we'll remember
-
the history of the people. They have witnessed the entire
-
generation before.
-
They'll make bad choices, and as a result of their
-
bad choices, they lost forty years of their life. Has
-
that not calls for bitterness? I mean, if you've had
-
to have been spending your will's dad, Mob, I'd be
-
forty years in the promised land.
-
Now forty years old.
-
Just get started. Half my life's gone. They told us
-
there in Saint Augustine that the average life span of
-
the people that lived between the fifteen hundreds and the
-
seventeen hundreds was I believe the age of forty eight.
-
Huh up here in crickets right now, why would I
-
even bother living? Somebody just said I can't live a.
-
Very full life and only a half of a century.
-
Yes you can, Oh, yes you can. Well, preacher, you
-
don't know what I'm going through. You don't know what
-
our forefathers went through in this country. You don't know
-
what our spiritual forefathers went through Reder Wilderness. You don't
-
know what Uncle Abraham went through.
-
A lot.
-
I'm telling a lot right now.
-
You better quit looking out there at the well wading plans.
-
Oh my Jesus, Oh you ought.
-
To think about Uncle Abraham. I'll just hit a stump
-
right there. And I want to tell something that I
-
have told the Howell Boys for years. I told him,
-
I said, if you ever faltered, you ever fell, make sure.
-
You get up.
-
I told him, brother, just so many times, if you
-
ever fail being God, I want you to know I
-
love you unconditionally. But I also want you to know
-
he loves your more thing I do. I'm told the
-
Howell Boys in handed to I said, no matter what
-
sins you may end up being because of bad choices,
-
there's always gonna be a handshake from Dad and a
-
bear h from Dad, readily available when you need it.
-
I may not approve of your lifestyle, I may not
-
approve of your choices that I'm always gonna be willing
-
to lift you up out of that stinky says you much.
-
My question for somebody here tonight is are you gonna
-
lay there and die? Are you gonna get up and
-
go with us? And I feel that in my soul
-
the choice is yours.
-
You're gonna lay there and.
-
Die, You're gonna wither away in the sandy dunes? Are
-
you gonna get up or go with us?
-
They send in frontiers, but sometimes.
-
Would be enduring the same thing that others were enduring.
-
But something would just say you don't want I just
-
can't do it anymore. I just can't go another mile
-
through this desert. I just can't push another whek this wilderness.
-
I just can't struggle like this for another day. He'll
-
help you if you'll let him. When it clay collapses,
-
he'll catch him. When Adam and Eve fell in the garden,
-
he called it. When Jerremaine Howell fell at sixteen years
-
of inspiracy, he called me. Conviction set in God is sorrow.
-
There's been times that I've review Brother Caley brokecat. One
-
of the things that I always admired about Brother Caleb.
-
Couldn't my brother Cayn was by the time I got home,
-
he was like Brother Johnny Platt. Before I got home,
-
he had already wrote me a book and said, Pastor,
-
I want you to know I appreciated what you did,
-
and I want you to know I'm remorseful, and I'm sorryful,
-
and I apologize. Come to her brother Jesse. Brother Jesse
-
as well as the rest of my sons, would do
-
the same thing. These men didn't wanna die spiritcy. They
-
would say, Pastor, thank you for rebuking me.
-
Right.
-
One time I had to rebuke an elder in this church.
-
And pastors don't let if silly elders hold that over
-
your head. Where the Bible said rebuke, not an elder,
-
because the pastor is the chief order that.
-
No matter what his age is.
-
But he was speaking very harshly for his precious bride
-
of what sixty something years, and in her honor. I
-
wanna show y'all something to like her a little bit.
-
Look what I had on while I was preparing to preach.
-
She gave him to me, and I knew what I
-
was gonna be preaching on it, and I said, in
-
my office writing a few notes more wearing these things.
-
She gave in to me as a gag gift because
-
one time I said, pray for me. I'm getting old.
-
I'm forty and I can barely see my Bible as
-
I read my texts. She showed up with that smirk
-
that on his sister Plattue could give, with that index
-
finger kind.
-
Of wiping across the.
-
Top of her lip, and she said, I've got something
-
for your brother Jeremy and y'all. Now she would do
-
her head cock it and then look out the side
-
of her eyes, and I said, what is it? She said,
-
open the bag, and in there with six pair of
-
sunglasses that looked like this, but also a pair of
-
red glasses. I slipped them on when I got to
-
this illustration, and I said, you know what, I'm gonna
-
honor you, Barbarick. But he will speaking and harshly to her,
-
and I need the Holy Ghost to help me right here.
-
And I went to him and I said, I'll rebuke
-
you right now in the name of Jesus. And how
-
many of y'all witnessed that I wasn't saying it politely.
-
Everybody that witnessed that come to the front. He was
-
probably in his late seventies, by the insister Cheryl.
-
And I went to him. Y'all know how kind I am.
-
Y'all know how respectful I am to my elders, but
-
I also am I gonna disobey God.
-
In the spirit of God moves on me.
-
About a week and a half ago, somebody started messing
-
with my vehicle over there late at night, and I said,
-
I need a couple brothers to come over here and
-
check the exterior of this building for me, because if
-
I go out there, I'm going out there if y'all
-
know what I'm saying, and it's not gonna be good.
-
At the headlines and the Wink news tomorrow morning says
-
local pastor blows some homeless man into eternity.
-
I said it'd be best for.
-
Y'all just to drive up on him and show them
-
off them to me to walk out. Well, the next
-
morning at nine thirty am, they've done it again, and
-
Brother Ethan roadecap and I found the tracks and we
-
saw the suspicious vehicle go by, and Brother Jesse. That
-
night they did it again.
-
There was no phone calls being made to any members
-
of this church saying I.
-
Don't want it to get nasty or uply. There was
-
no phone calls being made. Could you come help me
-
out please? I reached under that bed and pulled out
-
my helper, and I walked right out that door just
-
as fast as I could, fully intentioned, fully intending to say,
-
may I help you?
-
Right?
-
Huh.
-
There was no trembling, there was no shaking.
-
There was no I'm gonna throw up after I killed
-
a man if they're gonna mess around my house where
-
my precious wife sat. You know what Brother Aaron will
-
had said the second time him and Brother Tyler had
-
checked outside for me. He said, they don't even know
-
who they're messing with. The Spirit of God moved on me.
-
That night. Brother Johnny Platt spoke very harsh to his wife,
-
and I said, I rebut you right now in the
-
name of Jesus. And I wasn't speak it into msne
-
thank you Lord. And he didn't say anything at all
-
to me. But I knew in that moment it's gonna
-
be a make or break Johnny Platt. He can lay
-
right there and die, or he can get up. I've
-
slowed this down on purpose because somebody needs to hear this,
-
or somebodies need to hear of this. And I said,
-
she's a child of God. And I leaned into that
-
window and I said, I repeat you right now, in
-
the name of Jesus, that's a child of God. And
-
she said, getting pastor you're telling the truth. Amen, that's
-
the only ad field of the fire. But I didn't
-
back down. I said, that's.
-
Wrong to treat the woman that brought four ten children
-
for you like that. I said, Papa, that's wrong.
-
But it was God that has stirned my spirit because
-
enough was enough now when it gets by nature, that's
-
not who Jeremy Howell is. But you know what, the
-
old man didn't have a cell phone, he wouldn't have one.
-
But by the time he got to Ava, I was
-
over at McDonald's celebrating with the church people, just having
-
a good time, celebrating a wonderful service.
-
No, I wasn't feeling bad about old man God, not
-
at all. But when I checked my cell phone and
-
looked at the time that he had left that message.
-
In that ten or twelve minute drive home, within thirteen
-
minutes off here pulling out his.
-
Tamway was not the love of pstor.
-
Relative in the howl. I want you to know I
-
told about.
-
What you said. I was going to talk about it
-
like that.
-
I asked God to forgive it. I ask you to
-
forgive it, and I'll see you next time.
-
And you know that one of the last times I
-
saw that two together, they were looking at each other's eyes.
-
They made me so uncomfortable.
-
When I'm saying your death bed, I said, do I
-
need to leave?
-
This? Looks my car the rain making situation. I'll tell
-
you God.
-
Can help you get up.
-
Give you are too.
-
What's a harm by yourself hand of the mighty hand
-
of Dad that he fly taunts you in your time?
-
Just tell her yourself. Don't start said to night, harm
-
by yourself?
-
Doe.
-
Oh Jesus, you say I bought it. I messed up.
-
How many you remember the story of.
-
Conscious Pilot, Thank you Bethel. That was about twenty five
-
of you that remember that encounter and experience. How many
-
of you remember the story of Punchius Pilate washing his
-
hands seemingly of the blood of an innocent man called.
-
Jesus of nasterals.
-
His story and say he was unable to wash his
-
hands of that invisible blood.
-
He thought he had got it off, but it was there.
-
The physical blood of Jesus had never touched him.
-
But sister, how he knew.
-
The blood of that innocent man was all his hands. Bros.
-
Hands were stained with invisible blood. They said that he
-
would walk around.
-
Like a madman at times.
-
Thinking upon his failure when he did not deliver that
-
righteous just man that he's found the fault with from.
-
The handswer of his opposers, and from his hands from
-
his persecutors. Say, how many of you know you cannot
-
rush her? Who are handswer upon guilt and shame?
-
No matter how many times he scrubbed and.
-
Washed his hands, the guilt and of shame was still there.
-
Did you notice something special and significant about our golden text?
-
God won't wash his hands of you? I shouted over
-
this today, Praise the Lord. How to louse?
-
God wouldn't wash his hands of these people that are
-
turning circles. God let them just keep on going in circles,
-
just giving him an opportunity after opportunity after opportunity to
-
humble himself into repent. Moses made it clear that even
-
though their parents had made mistakes, their good Master was
-
still mindful of them.
-
Moses came in his shirts.
-
He's gonna go with you. He's going before you.
-
He will not forsake you, he will not fail you.
-
Our brother read our context at Jeremiah eighteen.
-
And he brought out that verse number four.
-
The Bible said in the vessel that.
-
He made a claar was marred in the hand of
-
the potter, So he made.
-
It again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter
-
to make it.
-
To listen, the potter wasn't like powder.
-
To He wasn't ready to be finished with it. He
-
didn't wash his hands of the matter. He didn't lost
-
his hands of the clay. Now, who are mist broken?
-
Who went this smard?
-
We had this? Now porn? Who that collapsed?
-
He caught it to run rapper his shirt sleeve, and
-
who turned a little worker?
-
And he returned to make something better. The song writer
-
pending the lyrics over and over. He moulds me and
-
makes me into his likeness. He passions the clay. How
-
I feel the Holy ghost in this place tonight? I
-
believe God is looking for sorrow Godness, Savo, I'm sorry
-
God that I made a mistake. You remember what the
-
Holy Girl sits Some months ago, the Holy girls said,
-
if you don't follow me rock.
-
And be broken, the rock will follow you and grind
-
you to power.
-
Get the imagery of the great prophets here of my
-
getting up from a time of prayer, and sister how
-
literally dusting off his knees and his elbows.
-
And doing us the Lord had instructed him to do.
-
And he walked to the Potter's house. The Lord God
-
had nudged him.
-
You go down to the Potter's house.
-
If you don't look when he got there, the Lord showed,
-
you're a man of the prophet. That the clay can
-
be moted, or it can be marred in the handsome
-
of the preacher, in the handsome of the Messiah, in
-
the handsome for the potter, in a handsome on a master,
-
it can be mourned.
-
Hold on.
-
Won half a brother, Johnny Platte, Where you be moted
-
or will you be marred? Brother Caleb, I didn't receive
-
only one text message like that, I received a dozen.
-
Sister Wouldton hadn't only told me one time? If I
-
need to be corrected, correct to me. She's told me
-
a dozen times, Sister Howl said to night, I thank
-
God for every time I received spiritual discipline. What is
-
it gonna be? You're gonna be motive? Are you gonna
-
mar might?
-
I say?
-
When the clay collapses, he doesn't give up on it.
-
He catches it.
-
He doesn't cast it away. He catches it, and he
-
holds to it, and he clings to it, intending to
-
bring forth the vessel for the fire. Sister, you didn't
-
know what I was fixing to say just thirty minutes
-
later from your testimony. It's right here in my notes.
-
God never gives up on his children. So I'm one
-
O three and verse number fourteen. Except for he know
-
with our frame.
-
He remembers that we are dust. Look at your neighbor
-
and say, hey, neighbor. God knows me.
-
He knows exactly what I'm made of. He put me together,
-
he knows why I'm on this earth. He made me
-
from the dust of the ground.
-
I am dust. That's the very words, brother Stare, it said,
-
I am dust.
-
So I know God speaking of somebody tonight. But what
-
I'm afraid of? You're not being broken? And what you
-
don't realize God knows that the choice is yours. Y'all
-
know what happened when David sinned. The difference in David
-
and Saul was simply this. David had God this sorrow,
-
and David said, created me a clean heart. O, God,
-
renew a right spirit within me. David was basically saying
-
us that creative power, that formative power, and make a
-
new spirit in me. The saints of God right now
-
weeping in this building. There's some right now feeling God
-
the sorrow. This, some saying Lord, I'm sorry that my
-
sin cost you hurt pain. Do you know every time
-
you act out of rebellion, God sees of warlock or
-
god' sees which to.
-
Obey is better than.
-
The sacrifice and the hearken than the fat of realms,
-
rebellion and stunnornnesses as the sin of bleached craft. When
-
you square your shoulders and say I will not be broken, listen,
-
child into God. We're all children. Listen, child, God will
-
break you. The Bible said, for he knoweth our frame,
-
He remembereth that we are dust.
-
In Genesis two and.
-
Seven we find the account of the Lord framemen or
-
fashion and mankind of dust or dirt. It was God
-
who collected a few particles of earth and fashion to man.
-
As sophisticated as the human body is, it's still dust.
-
And when its system ceases to operate and function, God
-
returns it back to its original form and state, which
-
simply is unmolded dust. Unmolded dust. Do I need to
-
repeat that? As sophisticated as the human body is, it's
-
still dust, and when its operational system ceases to operate
-
and function properly, it returns to its original form and state,
-
simply put, unmolded dust. Brother Jeremiah has to retort to
-
two crematories, and he can tell you it is true
-
that sometimes when they open body backs where they have
-
found a body that is laid in the forest floor
-
for thirty days or more, that it is already returning
-
to dust. But you know what, when the saint of
-
God collapses, just to hand, then the Bible said to
-
be absent in body is to be present with the
-
low word when the clay collapses, Sister Walker, when the
-
clay collapses, Sister Woot. For those of you that are widows,
-
those of you that are living at home alone, Lena
-
venture Jacob for a man whose wife left him years
-
ago because he wanted to serve God. Brother Laru, for
-
a young man that lives at home because his wife
-
left him because he wanted to serve God. Sister Simmons,
-
for a woman that for many years lived at home
-
alone because a husband didn't want to serve God. When
-
the clay collapses, God catches it. I was training last
-
week about these that lived at home alone, and I said, God,
-
I know they don't want to die alone.
-
And some of you, you're so busy wanting.
-
To buy cars, want to find spouses, want to find companions,
-
won't start a new life. You're not mindful of things
-
like that. But that's why I'm the pastor, and that's
-
why you're a Parisian.
-
So I was praying.
-
I said, God, what about the concern that some of
-
these that live alone have of breaking the hip and
-
lying in the floor and dying after a day or two?
-
I said, would you strengthen them and help them and
-
give them peace if that's bothering any of them?
-
Lord?
-
And that was the first time he spoke to me
-
about what I'm preaching on tonight, and Brother Jesseid I
-
cried in the spirit I laughed in the spirit, cause
-
he said, the moment they draw their last breath, there
-
were me, and I heard the Holy ghost recite that
-
scripture that says to be absent in body is to
-
be present with the more. When the clay collapses, he
-
catches it. When that man that had set by the
-
wayside begging in the courtyard of the rich king, with
-
dogs coming by and locking the swords on his body,
-
says the howell, the Bible said that the process of tide,
-
the rich man died, and in hell he opened his eyes,
-
being tormented into flames of fire. But concerning that beggar,
-
that poor man, the Bible said, and I paraphrase, when
-
he died, God called him, said the angels carried him
-
into Abraham's bosom. When the clay collapses, he catches it.
-
Brother Jeremia, somebody in this building came to.
-
Me last week.
-
They said I have I won't give the name, but
-
they said I had a dream that brother Jeremiah had
-
a terrible accident, and they said that it was so
-
bad that when I woke up, I was trembling and shaken,
-
and said, the rest of that dream is he didn't
-
make it. He said somebody called me and said, Jeremiah's
-
been in a terrible accident and the body is so
-
badly torn up to trying to figure out what to
-
do with it, Brother Jeremiah. They came to me sincerely concerned,
-
and I said, you don't want to I won't pray
-
about that, and I have them praying about that. You
-
won't be the first one the devil was ever trying
-
to destroy. Now you could call it the mind this
-
morning's message and know that there's no cause for fear
-
concern and rm that we should be prayed, and we
-
shouldn't be texting and driving and be distracted, and you
-
probably should get your situation checked. And I asked that person,
-
I said, do you know anything about his health condition?
-
You know anything about it about that time we had
-
that dream he was having that serious attack. They said,
-
I don't wanna let you talk about I said.
-
Yeah, well, I mean he told me one morning on
-
the way to work.
-
He told he's having a.
-
Nice of heart attack or throve. It was all he
-
could do.
-
And you called your wife and said, live you don't
-
hear from me, it's because I've been taken to the hospital.
-
In the neighborboods.
-
So s sister, who I wonder if the Holy ghost said,
-
already run the high jack, and because somebody in this
-
building would be obedient to the Lord and pray if
-
divine intervention had to take a place, so ready, I'm saying,
-
when the clay collapses, he catches it. I said, d
-
do you you know about But as he went through,
-
just no, I don't know nothing about that. Come, my brother, Philip,
-
this is a specimen of a young man right here.
-
And I feel a sweet spirit of God in this building.
-
I remember it was it a Sunday afternoon, and he said,
-
I gotta tell you something that I don't wanna put
-
on you, and I don't wanna tell you about. He
-
said that you need to know, and I don't wanna
-
put any more on you. He said, but I think
-
I had cancer. That was cause for concern and calls
-
to pray. Brother Stereo. We could give up and just
-
cast him off for dead, or we could get into
-
fight and pray. Brother Jeremiah, you, sister Leah, could get
-
in the fight and pray. You elder sisters and brothers
-
that are living alone. You could get in the fight
-
and pray you young people are slipping up and tripping
-
up and fall the fat on your face. You can say,
-
I refuse to die. You could give me this want.
-
You did not cry and pray. I've told you young
-
men to be strong, but I'm not afraid to cry.
-
In God's house or another presence of God spirit. I'm
-
not afraid to cry. I've done my share of it today.
-
Brother Ethan almost called cut his finger off.
-
The other day.
-
He messaged me and he said, Pastor, I'm in bad shape.
-
If you don't hear back from me, I've collapsed.
-
I'm going to handy.
-
If you don't hear back from him, you must be called.
-
I've collapsed. I'm about to pass out because I cut
-
my finger off. I'm getting sick, I'm blacking out. I
-
called his parents. I said, I'm up here in Saint Augustine.
-
Somebody needs to get to him right now. Brother Ethan,
-
that slip of a knife could have easily been in
-
an artery and it could have been fatal. But when
-
the clay collapses, he catches it. He called Brother Philip
-
it at tears. He's caught. Brother Jeremiah. We're gonna continue
-
praying for both of these brothers. He helped a brother
-
Ethan sister Hannah. I remember it was been about three
-
to four years ago. I first had a dream of
-
you being abducted, and then about a year later. And
-
I'm not one that lives in fear, and I'm not
-
one to watch his movies or documentaries or anything like that,
-
but I am one to hear from God and us
-
beak as a fool. But every time I had a
-
spiritual dream of that nature, I would tell her. I
-
pull her to the side and tell her.
-
And then it was about a.
-
Week and a half ago, I said, don't go to
-
the office, stay away. One of the boys came to
-
me and said, do you remember you had a dream
-
of that nature about a year ago and you told
-
us that hand it had been abducted and that law
-
enforcement couldn't find her, that God led you to her
-
body and you found her lifeless on the side of
-
the road out Portla Belt. I said, yeah, I remember that,
-
And I said, the Holy Ghost has been preparing us
-
for a long time. Or what almost happened a week
-
and a half ago. But I'll tell you what's worse
-
than a physical abduction is a spiritual abduction. When somebody's
-
saved and sanctified and holy goes fulled, but a bad
-
spirit gets in that heart, it gets to work and
-
and it causes that clay to become bread on it,
-
and that clay begins to be marred, and it it
-
ain't pliable in the hand of the Lord. This is
-
a very sober ending to this message, and I intend
-
for it to be, for it's how God led me.
-
To end it. Sister.
-
And I could look at these young men and say
-
every one of them are worth their weight in gold.
-
I can look at.
-
These young women, brother would and say they are all
-
turbles of great price. But when the play messes up,
-
the devil will say they're all worthless. And I speak
-
as a fool here, and I'm not boasting, but a
-
lot of youth groups have busted up, and a lot
-
of our young people have fallen by the wayside, because
-
when kids messed up, nobody believed in them. And I
-
want to tell our young people, I believe in you,
-
but if you're gonna make it, we're gonna have to
-
see your truly sorry from messing out. And I want
-
to say something to brother Jesse. You would concur with
-
this it's not hard to move dust. Blow it and
-
it's gold, life as a vapor. It's here today and
-
gone tomorrow. When you blow it. The devil says, that's it.
-
God's done with you. God's finished with you. But I
-
want to tell you one more time, No, he isn't.
-
The devil was a liar and he's the father of
-
all liars. God is a finish with you. It's not over.
-
God's got you. I want everybody to look at you
-
on hands. Would you pick up your brother with those hands?
-
Would you help your brother with those hands if he
-
was left for dead on the wayside, would you use
-
those two hands to pull your brother up and out
-
of that ditch? And let me ask you something. When
-
Jesus looks at his nails guard hands, don't you think
-
he's just waiting on the opportunity for you to invite
-
him to pick you up? And that's what Dave had said,
-
I've been a mess. He lifted me up out of
-
that mess, first to acknowledge I'm in a mess. But
-
then the second verse is he's dipped me up out
-
of that mess, out of that hole, humble pit of claim,
-
set my feet upon a solid rocks, just to Wolden,
-
You're not the only one feeling this.
-
I feel a world one in I's old.
-
This is a make or break situation, a make or
-
break sermon for somebody in this building tonight. And I
-
want to tell you that God has not done with you.
-
If you've made a mistake and have fallen flat on
-
your face, let Jesus pick you up. If he has
-
to reach way down, Jesus will pick you up. Brother Jesse,
-
would you come to the pien and tonight.
-
Let's stand.
-
I'm not gonna have a general altar call tonight. Uh
-
how the lords didn't us give this alter call? I know,
-
as sure as I breathe and live it that there's
-
five people in this building that I have to come
-
to this after. I don't want anyone else to move
-
unless you know that, you know that, you know you
-
need Jesus to kick you up. These altars are open.
-
May we bow our heads and close our eyes. I
-
need a train in church right now. When the clay collapses,
-
he catches the.
-
Preacher.
-
I've slipped, I've fallen, I've got mixed up. I've got
-
messed up. I've made some mistakes. So all the guys
-
I guess we got fire precious young men over here.
-
Definitely the Holy Ghost do. But I also believe there's
-
a young woman. Mom and dad don't know it, but
-
you've followed it wouldn't take much for them to see
-
if they did just a little closer. But I don't
-
want to point it out, and I don't want you
-
to point out. I just want to see you pray.
-
That's it, brothers, which y'all.
-
Sing some of that right here as well.
-
But this week, presence of God who through this build tonight.
-
Maybe there's a dad and a mom that would say,
-
I haven't been sented, but I haven't been who I
-
need to be, and I know that I haven't been
-
as strong as I need to be. The clay has collapsed.
-
Maybe there's an elder that it's been troubled about, dying
-
at home alone, whatever a category situation you're in, I
-
want you to know God's got you.
-
God's got you.
-
If you die and fall a flat on your face,
-
God's got you. It's your young person and you make
-
a bad choice, make a horrible mistake.
-
God's got you.
-
He's ready to forget, who's.
-
Ready to pardon, and he's ready to clean a slate.
-
He's ready. I feel like if you don't let your
-
heart break that I and so my brother k a
-
bow cap.
-
I said so many times, I'm sorry.
-
Tell Jesus, I'm sorry.
-
And I'm gonna get a that's it. That's how about
-
time of trayer?
-
Shall we? I'm sorry. I told the Lord a couple.
-
Of nights ago.
-
I said, God, there's nothing in the world like your preasents.
-
There's nothing in the world like your treasence.
-
Just being in your presence is so beautiful. The silver
-
ward it is so time the spression.
