  1. You turn with me to Saint John's Gospel.

  2. May I direct your attention to the second chapter and

  3. the seventh verse.

  4. Brother Nathaniel, would.

  5. You turn to First Samuel, chapter number fifteen and burse

  6. number twenty two, My brother, brother Jesse, Saint Luke's Gospel,

  7. chapter number six and verse number forty six.

  8. You all look great, yoh, hold on.

  9. Just for a minute while I prayed him, and then followed,

  10. I pray that you would forgive me for life.

  11. No, really, and truly, you all look great. It's so

  12. good to see each one in the House of the Lord.

  13. It's good to see our visitors in the back, all

  14. of you that are here. They say there's about seventy

  15. something here tonight. We're thankful for that, aren't you thankful

  16. that there's seventy something people in Rebel Florida or wants

  17. to go to church. There's so many places you could

  18. have been in tonight. You could have got in trouble,

  19. but you came into the House of the Lord. That

  20. I'm very thankful and I commend you. Thank you for

  21. gathering together. You remember the Apostle said.

  22. Do not forsave the sembling of ourselves together. Even back

  23. at his time on this earth, he said, as the

  24. manner of some is.

  25. He said, we've all noticed they have other places to be,

  26. other things to do, other people to visit.

  27. But he said, please don't do that as the manner

  28. of some is.

  29. And even more, as you see the day of the

  30. Lord approaching, y'all just gather together because it is so easy.

  31. For the child of God to be distracted.

  32. There's so much good news and so much bad news

  33. to distract the child of God.

  34. How many of you are certain of that?

  35. News on every end used to you received a newspaper. Now,

  36. if you have a cell phone, news comes in, news

  37. that you weren't even looking for. An example of this,

  38. I'm having to preach over the top of this tonight.

  39. Somebody sent me and link to an article. Nine people

  40. died just over here in Palm Beach. Nine people died.

  41. They had nine people in an suv. I believe.

  42. They said it was a Ford explorer that's packing them

  43. in like sardines. They lost control of that vehicle, no doubt.

  44. They must have been traveling.

  45. At an excessive rate of speed.

  46. They went spiraling out of control and ended up in

  47. the bottom of a canal. They said, nine under the

  48. ten people have died. They've been requesting prayer for the family,

  49. And I just sat there in my vehicle under the carport.

  50. Sister, how on my bride heard me say, Oh God,

  51. what a loss, Oh.

  52. God, what a loss. How many of you know Job

  53. knows all about that ten children died. Imagine that funeral,

  54. ten children, ten caskets had to walk in there and

  55. still say the wonderful things he said about his God.

  56. So despite what's gone going on in the world, all

  57. of the good news, all of the bad news, news,

  58. news news, I've got some good news for you here tonight.

  59. I feel out the Lord wants to bless his people.

  60. I want to preach a message the Holy Ghost titled

  61. feel it and he will feel it.

  62. Feel it f I L L and he will feel it.

  63. Feel How many of you have ever done something for

  64. somebody and you could tell they just were not at

  65. all interested in you doing that. It didn't make them excited,

  66. it didn't make them happy. And because they didn't feel it,

  67. you didn't want to do it again. You didn't want

  68. to do anything for them. And that's what I'm saying

  69. here tonight. I want you to remember that that's what

  70. I'm trying to get across to us, is we want

  71. the Lord to know that we will do whatever he

  72. has asked us to do, so.

  73. That he will feel like with more force.

  74. Oh yes, I want him to feel like doing something

  75. else for me, And so I would never want to

  76. act as interested in what he's doing, and I would

  77. never want to be disobedient when he commands me to

  78. do something. And that's what's behind this message right here tonight.

  79. Brother Nathaniel.

  80. First Samuel, chapter number fifteen and verse number twenty two,

  81. a very familiar portion of scripture to.

  82. The Bible reader, and Samuel said, half the Lord is

  83. great light, burn offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the

  84. voice of the Lord.

  85. Behold it is Behold.

  86. To obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than

  87. the fat of rams. Behold, to obay is better than sacrifice,

  88. and to hearken than the fat of rams. The prophet Samuel,

  89. the mighty man of God, was speaking to that specially

  90. anointed and specially chosen and selected by the very end

  91. of God, king Saul.

  92. He was telling Saul, you disappointed the Lord because of

  93. your disobedience.

  94. I'm a feeling the Lord already, y'all feeling the Lord already. Therefore,

  95. the Lord didn't feel like doing anything else for him,

  96. Sister Wooton.

  97. If he'll feel it, he'll feel it.

  98. Brother Jesse, when you read Luke chapter number six, in

  99. verse number forty.

  100. Six, and why call ye me lord Lord?

  101. And do not the things which I say?

  102. Wow?

  103. Isn't that something that somebody could look at the Savior,

  104. stare him in the wide of the eyes and say

  105. I love you. And Jesus's response is, why are you

  106. saying that you won't even do what I've asked you

  107. to do? Telling you that'll jerk the rug right out

  108. from under somebody.

  109. When God Almighty.

  110. Himself says, you know what, you don't really love me

  111. like you say you do. So let's read our text

  112. John chapter number two, verse number seven.

  113. This is what the Holy Ghost has given us for tonight.

  114. Jesus say, unto.

  115. Them, fill the water pots with water, and they filled

  116. them up to the brim. Nunt you, neighbor, and say

  117. a neighbor, they filled them up to the brim. Notice

  118. that feeling, and he won't feel Heavenly Father, we love him,

  119. We praise you, We thank you for the opportunity to

  120. be in the.

  121. House of the Lord. I prayed God, that you would

  122. anoint this thy servant set of God at my mouth.

  123. And help me to say the things that you would

  124. have me to say, nothing.

  125. More or less.

  126. Anoint the ears of this thin people, that they might

  127. hear what it is the Spirit of God says unto

  128. the churches tonight. We pray God that these saints would

  129. go below the shoulders. May they saturate the spirit and

  130. the soul God. Not only may they do a world

  131. within that mind.

  132. God.

  133. We don't want them to go any more to ear

  134. and out to other. We want them to go below

  135. the shoulders. God, I pray that you would help us God,

  136. to be hearers only but to heed the things that

  137. the Spirit of God has said to us tonight through

  138. the preach word and through the Word of God. We'll

  139. be careful to give you all praise, all honor, and

  140. all glory. May we depart this place jotully and not sorrowly.

  141. In Jesus' name in the church said, Amen, you may

  142. be seated, praise the Lord. Reading our text again John

  143. chapter number two, in verse number seven, the Bible said

  144. Jesus saith unto them fill the water pots with water,

  145. and they filled them up to the brim. Our golden

  146. text is found in a New Testament book of the

  147. Holy Bible, the Book of John. The title bears the

  148. name of its author. This writing is the last volume

  149. of four Gospels.

  150. Ha Man.

  151. If you are familiar with the martyr Polycarp, Polycarp was

  152. a leader within the Early Church. After the apostles had

  153. died and went to heaven, men such as Polycarp took

  154. the reins of the Early Church. In fact, the martyr

  155. Polycarp said before he was executed, he was burned at

  156. the state, and just before his death he said, I

  157. can assure you that the writing the Gospel of John

  158. is authentic. He said, I knew that, beloved Apostle Charny.

  159. It makes you feel a little more excited now when

  160. you hear somebody sing about Polycarp, when they say he

  161. would not rep he would not recamp, he would not

  162. turn back on Jesus, even though he was strapped to

  163. that stake and they were doing everything they could do

  164. to terminate his life.

  165. This great man of God.

  166. Polycarp said, I can tell you that everything about John

  167. and about Jesus that you read about in this gospel.

  168. It is true. I thank God.

  169. For the confirmation of authenticity by the great preacher of Polycarp.

  170. But you know, even if there was not a Polycarp

  171. to confirm this writing and the authenticity of the authorship,

  172. I still know this to be the infallible and the

  173. inerran word of Come. I thank God for a martyr

  174. within christener named Polycarp that could say I loved and

  175. treasure Saint John's gospel. I too, love and treasure Saint

  176. John's Gospel. One of the reasons that I treasure it

  177. the way I do, Sister Howard, is because I noticed

  178. that the Apostle John was not hesitant or reluctant at

  179. all to connect the dodgs between Christ and the creature.

  180. He was not hesitant to connect the dodgs between Christ

  181. and the creation. You see, John taught his readers of

  182. the deity of Christ. There's a lot of people alive

  183. today that do not believe in the doctrine of the

  184. deity of Christ.

  185. I do. I'm a proponent of it.

  186. I promote it and I push it, just like the

  187. Apostle John did. There is no doubt in my mind

  188. that John believed Jesus Christ to be the son of God.

  189. You will remember the proclamation of Peter that would preach

  190. what it not a certam entitled the Proclamation of Peter.

  191. He said, we are most certain, we are positive that

  192. thou art Christ, the son of the Living God, and

  193. Jesus said, flesh and blood. Has God revealed this unto you, Peter.

  194. We know that the power of the Holy Ghost and

  195. our good Father had revealed such a thing unto the

  196. Apostle Peter. One example the Apostle Chalon gave his readers

  197. is of the miracle at Cana. It was there our

  198. Lord turned water into wine.

  199. And friend, let me be.

  200. Clear, only God can turn water into whine. I took

  201. chemistry and high school, and I received good grades after

  202. our efforts and our test and.

  203. I want you to know that was not an easy subject.

  204. How many of you are familiar with the periodic table?

  205. Is that the correct name of such a table? School

  206. now for over thirty years, and I was hoping I

  207. had the name of such a table correct, the periodic table,

  208. and it would also be the table of the elements.

  209. And we had to memorize that table.

  210. And we had to talk about the composition of each chemical. Basically,

  211. we were talking about the nature of things, the nature

  212. of substances, and so our beloved Apostle Paul, that were

  213. Apostle child that were considering his writings tonight. He made

  214. it clear that the Lord Jesus, the Creator, has the

  215. power to change the very nature of things.

  216. How many of you could say right now, I.

  217. Have no doubt that the Lord and allow me to

  218. experience a spiritual metamorphosis. And there was a radical transformation

  219. in my life. And now I'm a new creature because

  220. of the Creator, King Jesus.

  221. But if Philip did not know what I was going

  222. to preach.

  223. About tonight, and he stood up and talked about David

  224. invoking and attempting to activate the creative power of God.

  225. When David planned with the Lord and said these words

  226. create in me a clean heartor of God, and restored

  227. within me a rote spirit, we find until Apostle Chold

  228. believe that the Lord had changed the nature of water

  229. into wine, he changed our nature?

  230. Did he Nodge? Earning things have passed away?

  231. To hold all things have to come do the great

  232. Apostle Paul put it this way, Things are once loved

  233. I now hate.

  234. Things that I once hated. I now love.

  235. For the man that used to didn't like to go

  236. to church, he now cannot wait until it's time to

  237. enter into the House of God, and he walks into

  238. such a place as he passed through the gates. He

  239. comes in with a praise upon his lips and thanksgiving.

  240. Hard Why because of the change of his nature, he

  241. changed my nature. I used to not be so excited

  242. about going to church.

  243. Sometimes I did it against my will because I was raised.

  244. In a god, fear and family. But now it is my.

  245. Honor and my privilege and my desire to come into

  246. the House of God. I'm so thankful that he changed

  247. the academic nature and put your spirit in sun of me.

  248. You see, the Bible.

  249. Readers and the students present tonight know a lot about

  250. the wedding ceremony that is being considered in our text tonight.

  251. This took place in a place called Cana. They can

  252. tell us a little bit about the attendees. Obviously there

  253. was a groom and a bride at prison. Also there

  254. would have been invited guests. Amongst those invited guests was

  255. married the.

  256. Mother of Jesus.

  257. I know, I know who extended an invitation on out

  258. to Jesus and his numerous disciples, which somebody had extended

  259. the invitation to.

  260. The right man.

  261. We open this service tonight inviting the Lord to have

  262. his way. I'm into places before where the name of

  263. the Lord was on the marquis or on the exterior

  264. of the beard, and perhaps even on the law inside

  265. of the sexualory that you can tell the Lord was

  266. nowhere around that.

  267. He just was not feeling it.

  268. I'm telling you, God feels the praises of his people.

  269. The Bible said that God inhabits the praises.

  270. Of us people.

  271. It is true that this is God's house, but we

  272. still have to welcome him to have his way and

  273. have his will in the service. So we know that

  274. Jesus was welcomed as a visitor here. Now keep in

  275. mind that Jesus had not performed a miracle as of yet,

  276. and so this is the unveiling of the miracle worker.

  277. The miracle worker himself did not feel like it was

  278. the moment of his revelation. He did not feel like

  279. this was the time for him to be exposed as

  280. somebody that could change the very lass of nature.

  281. And you see these disciples that they were there. They

  282. had been freshly called up to this specially.

  283. Chosen ministry that only a few had received, and they

  284. had been faithful to follow Jesus. It was stepping away,

  285. and he leads him to a ready that most of

  286. you in.

  287. This building tonight, you know that come.

  288. Saturday, I'm gonna give away my only daughter. I've got

  289. six children, five sons and one daughter. In this Saturday,

  290. right here in this bearding, at about three o'clock or thereabouts,

  291. he I'm gonna give.

  292. Away my daughter to somebody else. Now, y'all think about

  293. this with me.

  294. They are at such a wedding ceremony, and Sister the

  295. lord's mother is busy working. But while she was busy working,

  296. she was looking for an opportunity to help the family

  297. of this young couple find out if something was missing.

  298. There's always that person that is looking over the shoulder

  299. of the busy workers, seeing if something has been over

  300. and looked or something was missed. There is no doubt

  301. that Mary, there's more than a visitor. Mary made herself

  302. useful at such a wedding ceremony. That's at some point

  303. the mother of Jesus either heard a nervous conversation, a solid,

  304. nervous pride reacting to a conversation that she had had.

  305. Even though it was a whisper.

  306. This pride was nervous, and the bridegroom was nervous. And

  307. Mary knew this only one person I can get to

  308. with this problem.

  309. And it's my son, Jesus, And said a large mother Mary.

  310. She came to him and she said, Jesus, we have

  311. a problem. Dad.

  312. You know all about this. You know all too well

  313. about somebody saying her, we have a problem, mama's You.

  314. Know all too much about a child saying Mama, I've

  315. got a problem, and I don't know how to solve it.

  316. I don't have the answer for this question of life.

  317. Her pastor has heard so many times people's lifes were

  318. like her shattered glass. They seemed to be in pieces

  319. that God knows how to put that glasser back together. Yes,

  320. it will be decorative, because now it is fractured and

  321. there are cracks, and heir lies didner in looking it

  322. up the stars of the humanity.

  323. But Jesus can stain.

  324. That broken glasser with his blood, and not that seeing

  325. this carter now becomes a beautiful stained glasser of his

  326. glory who displayed for humanity.

  327. Now I watch it and know you may have.

  328. To always bury in your body this carsel that's se him.

  329. But Jesus he knows how to manager the sexual way,

  330. sing and bring it to his glory. Amen, praise the Lord,

  331. Thank you you Jesus.

  332. Y'all.

  333. Imagine the look of despair on the bride's face as

  334. she realized we don't have enough. I don't have enough.

  335. She would begin to take this personal. Suddenly, bride's guys

  336. become great in an instant, in a moment she feels

  337. like she has spelled her guests. I could see it now,

  338. sister running from the fellowship Paul and saying, Pastor, we

  339. were expecting visitors, but we were not expecting a crowd

  340. of this number of magnitude.

  341. What are we gonna do?

  342. And I would say lot, Jesus said the martyr. Don't

  343. be covered about so many things. Just take us two

  344. hundred dollars cashing.

  345. And go down there to Papaey's and buy some.

  346. Food from the children and for the adults. And that's

  347. the same thing that Mary knew. If I could get

  348. this request to Jesus, I have no reason to fear it. Boucome,

  349. whether or not come, he could meet this is. And

  350. so the apostle sean he saw this and he made.

  351. A record of it.

  352. He admitted that they had a major problem. He did

  353. not try to scratchy let out of this record. No,

  354. he pointed it out. And then we finded the lad's

  355. responsive to Mary, and I love it. Jesus said, woman,

  356. what have I to do with e? He did say mama,

  357. He did say mommy. He didn't say woman that is

  358. highly favored or greatly blessed, as the angel had said.

  359. He spoke to her in her humanity. But what's interesting

  360. is that Mary, who knew who he was, that she

  361. knew his abilities. And you can know she's the biological

  362. and the earthly mother for Jesus. She is not too

  363. pripa her to bowl her simple.

  364. And his speaker and the pleaper for help. I want

  365. you to know we final her in the ministry of Jesus.

  366. His mother was a proponent and his father was a

  367. supporter long before she married the hotel resty that the

  368. preeple he Jesus woman, he acknowledges her humanity. The Catholics

  369. have missed out.

  370. On something very critical and very important.

  371. By deifying Mary, I'm telling you they have become idologiers.

  372. I know that that pressure fourteen or fifteen year old

  373. girl was certainly a god fearing woman. Anybody that's having

  374. an angel visits you and speak to you and declare

  375. the you're greatly blessed and highly favored, must be a

  376. special lady, somebody that had no doubt been meditating. Only

  377. Lord Dave, and not but Gabril, and the only one

  378. that knew of the humanity of Mary.

  379. Joseph knew of it. Jesus knew of it as well.

  380. And that's what I want you to know here tonight.

  381. It's okay.

  382. The humble myself had an altar and then responded and say, God,

  383. I need to be transparent with my pastor and with

  384. my parent and with the others.

  385. I am in.

  386. Need of divine assistance. I know that when my son

  387. Philip was diagnosed with that aggressive, rare type of catcher,

  388. only one of four hundred and forty in these United

  389. States from America, and only one of probably six hundred

  390. in the world. I remember my world shook. I remember

  391. my knees cut weak, and so did his. We had

  392. to humble ourself, and we had to pray and ask

  393. God to please intervene.

  394. On our behalf. And one night, in.

  395. A service such as this one, we felt the power.

  396. Of God to live and he was healed.

  397. It God Casada, it is a miracle. They do not

  398. declare the mean a medical miracle. This is a messiah

  399. the miracle. I thank God for medical miracles about.

  400. In siren say, I thank God for them. I love it. Physician.

  401. Her name is Ashley Lewis Proms. That's my doctor, Postle.

  402. Paulse doctor was doctor Luke of a loved position. But

  403. most of all I thank call her for the Messley

  404. for midical worker and a lot of pain to partition him.

  405. When I've got to need and none of us should be,

  406. none of us should.

  407. Be throw that hand up in to say hey, I

  408. need help, to request divine assistance. It's no badge of shame.

  409. It is nothing to be ashamed about. And so our

  410. Lord's mother, what's the first to say we need help?

  411. You will remember the Bible said that judgment must first

  412. begin in the house of God. God's people begin to purify,

  413. purchs himself for revival, and Jesus's answer what's mane?

  414. What have I to do unto thee? Mine hours not

  415. yet come? Mamma. You know it's not time for me

  416. to be offered. Mamma. You know the time of my

  417. departure is not yet in hand.

  418. Mamma, you know I'm not yet to be killed as

  419. the sacrificial lamb and the substitutioneer, sacrificer.

  420. And Mary must have saw him feeling it.

  421. She must have saw a look in his eyes. And

  422. that's the inspiration for tonight's message. I started her looking

  423. at the question. I started looking at the responsor. I

  424. started looking at Mary's words.

  425. To the Lord and his responsor and brother Philippa.

  426. Nowhere do we see that Jesus intends to perform a miracle.

  427. I may't believe he was being as smart A look here, children,

  428. I would not advise you to look at your mama

  429. tomorrow and say, woman, what how am I to do

  430. with he?

  431. When she asking to go to school and to do

  432. your schoolwork?

  433. You've made en not being back handed, And a church

  434. said able, that's how the old timers would speak. They

  435. talk about them cheering being backhanded for Sassin. Mamma, Jesus

  436. was not Sassin.

  437. Mamma, But there must have been a look in his eyes.

  438. He must have been feeling it because of the way

  439. Mama can She wanted her requests field the same way

  440. Sister Hannah.

  441. Playing with that position recently. I know that you've ran

  442. down over here.

  443. You've got to transfer this prescription to another location because

  444. I need you to feel it. That infection is going

  445. on inside up. My throat's not getting any better. I've

  446. lost my pounds in a couple of days. The situation

  447. is our it's urgent. I can eat because there's something

  448. eating me solely, but surely I'm a withered hooray. You

  449. don't think about the way Mary came and requested that

  450. the situation be feeled and not it be resolved.

  451. And Sister Howe, whenever Jesus said, woman, what have I

  452. to do with thee? My hour is not.

  453. Yet coming, immediately she knew she had her request granted.

  454. I'm telling you, I'm not putting words in Jesus's faca

  455. that are not there. There is no written record of

  456. him saying anything else.

  457. You know why, because he's waiting for somebody else to do.

  458. Second, and that's where we're hacking the season upper Bible not,

  459. he's standing there and waiting like for somebody else to do.

  460. Something.

  461. Fell it to the m and he'll feel it and

  462. he'll want to be more, the Bible said. Then she

  463. looked at those servants. What was it about his expression?

  464. What was it about the way the holy ghost moved

  465. upon him? Did she see the same expression upon his

  466. face that she saw when he was twelve years of

  467. age of teaching the learned leaders of the religion.

  468. Of two days? I believe she.

  469. Felt something inside and she knew he is about to

  470. take action.

  471. And I want to put a collar there and put

  472. two letters up before you, very bold. If the people

  473. were knew what they are supposed to do.

  474. She is desperate now for the servants to obey, the

  475. Bible said, as she turned to the servants that were nearby,

  476. and she said, whatever he says to you. In other words,

  477. she said to them, lovely servants, obey the Master. Why

  478. is it that the people that professed to be that

  479. you of God with Jusa to.

  480. Not obey the Lord? I mean, it's not optional, that

  481. it's obligatory. And that's what God could in my heart.

  482. Earlier this afternoon to tell somebody obedience it's not optional,

  483. it is obligatory.

  484. You see, obedience is to be.

  485. In compliance with an order and to willfully submit to

  486. one's authority. Sister whom now she's totally relying upon the servants. Initially,

  487. she is relying on the Savior.

  488. To take action.

  489. That's the same thing some of you are doing tonight. Pastor,

  490. I have a need, Pastor, I need to be healed. Pastor,

  491. I need to receive the Holy ghost. Pastor, I need

  492. a miracle. And you need to tell Jesus to those

  493. same things. But do not be surprised when that one

  494. that is in a position of authority commands you to

  495. do something and so little.

  496. But sometimes we say that's optional.

  497. As him, it is available to be chosen, but not obligatory.

  498. It's optional. I may or I may not do it.

  499. It depends on how.

  500. I'm a feeling. Now, listen, bear with me for a minute.

  501. That day that Jesus He's got a miracle for that

  502. lame man. He set these words, thou shin be forgiven

  503. thee and immediately though he asked for action on the

  504. part of what would be the recipient, he said, arise,

  505. take cut thy man and brook If that man had

  506. not a ton apple from what got down in.

  507. The first place.

  508. If we had not took that bad up had walked out,

  509. he want to remain.

  510. It's such a paramedic tradition.

  511. And that's the problem book of the modern to the

  512. custom of Horida's churches, of all the nominations today is

  513. we really don't believe Man has got something to.

  514. Do with it.

  515. The dep crossings, the top Man and the earth of

  516. Man must come.

  517. Together in agreement for there to be a miracle.

  518. Well, I'm expecting the prophet or the preacher or the

  519. pastor of the teacher to proclaim it and faith it

  520. in existence. The preacher may preach, and the speacher may

  521. tell you something is coming as.

  522. Good and wonderful, and you can start expecting a miracle.

  523. But always God is looking for the Man element. In

  524. every situation concerning God and his keeping them and his people,

  525. you can rest assured the common denominator is God. The

  526. God element will always be present.

  527. But what you need is in this chemical composition. If

  528. you want, you.

  529. Need the Man element that I want you to name.

  530. God does not who's that, persons, No, he does not.

  531. He's not worried about your still color but he does

  532. respect faith. We must trust and obey. What about what

  533. Jesus he healed the blond man.

  534. But prior to that, brother.

  535. Jesse, he took clay of the earth in which he

  536. had made man, basically saying, let's not ignore what you

  537. had to dover this, basically taking that same dust of

  538. the earth that that human being had been formally and saying,

  539. you've got to understand. There's something you need to do

  540. for you to be made whole. And the Bible said

  541. Jesus spit, and he spit on that play. He spit

  542. in the mass, and brother Jesse did He said to

  543. the man, you go to the poor of Sloan and wash.

  544. I mean, Jesus could have healed it.

  545. Jesus didn't need spittle, and Jesus didn't need clay.

  546. What he was telling that man is you all know

  547. the story.

  548. Of how man was fashioned of the dust of the ground.

  549. That I am literally recreating your eyes. I am literally

  550. right now reforming your eyes. But what you need is

  551. to go to the water, and you need to wash.

  552. Jesus was looking for obedience.

  553. That is a key word in all hises, obedience.

  554. Tonight, the root of this.

  555. Message is an obedience. The key of miracles is obay.

  556. No matter how trivial what.

  557. You're supposed to do things, just obey. Why don't you

  558. just do what God Saip could do?

  559. Then maybe will and walk away. We're gonna stare at

  560. so many people miss perceive it to be optional. It's

  561. optional whether or not I go to church. It's optional

  562. whether or not I read the Bible. It's optional whether

  563. or not I pray. It's optional whether or not I

  564. go to a house where they worship God's spirit and

  565. the truth.

  566. Listen to you him.

  567. If you're God's churing, you're gonna follow the format of scripture.

  568. For all the value of simple obedience and all the

  569. importance of simple it.

  570. Is not accident.

  571. It is I lookatory, meaning you must do it because

  572. it as a rule at a law.

  573. If you're asking the.

  574. Lord to change the law of nature to take blinded

  575. eyes that have been there since before birth, while they

  576. were still being formed in the womb, for some reason,

  577. they were malformed. For some reason blindness settled in being

  578. an accident inside of the womb, or some sort of

  579. DNA issue. I don't know what calls that mathformity. But

  580. when you're asking God to perform a miracle on your behalf.

  581. You'd better be willing to do what God has told

  582. you to do.

  583. There's so many people today proclaiming miracles and prophesying miracles,

  584. but they are overlooking the importance of obedience within that

  585. human being. I am not saying that the healing virtue

  586. is in fleshing Mahna. That. I am not saying her

  587. that fleshing burn has the power to heal.

  588. That.

  589. I am saying that God insprets her when he breathing

  590. in that man the birth of lifel, he.

  591. Instrets up that and to breathe.

  592. And that's what happened at the Palley of pet Trybones.

  593. They were very tired. There was an exceeding nature and

  594. mea that.

  595. Was my president and power of their yes, the prophet

  596. preach to yes. The prophet said, we know, yes, sir,

  597. but you know what, they have to stand up. And

  598. that's why we're not seeing the Bible in America because preachers,

  599. we will not stand up here.

  600. You know her and being that paper to proclaim the Bible.

  601. There's always still in man element.

  602. They're in the Great Awakening in the United States and

  603. the Great awakenings of Europe. There's always been the man element.

  604. The missing element today is not the God element.

  605. The Lord owns the earth.

  606. The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof.

  607. But where are the people gathering together?

  608. We see a nation unraveling and unfolding, busting apart at

  609. the seams.

  610. They stopped valuing old glory, the American flag.

  611. They no longer are concerned about prayer in our public schools.

  612. They're no longer concerned about.

  613. Demotion in our public schools than it are some Christian

  614. schools now about pastor demotion time, the chapel and prayer time.

  615. And then they wonder where is God? Did not God say.

  616. The nation that forgets and psakes him shall be turned

  617. into Hell. I've known that this is not hell as

  618. some people believe. There is a place beneath our Feta.

  619. The Bible described it as a horrible place.

  620. And I want you to know her. I couldn't imagine living.

  621. Her in.

  622. Earth or hell, but no earth.

  623. But we're expecting revival, not without prayer and fasting. But

  624. we're expecting deliverance, not without prayer and fasting.

  625. But we're expecting that in time out purty. We've been

  626. experiencing it here now for several years now.

  627. I mean, I can't even count the number of years

  628. that God has been added to the church, and people's

  629. been getting delivered, and people's been getting sacified and holding

  630. ghosts beyond it and called a preacher, and our hotels,

  631. that's hotels have been hold fire. Let's just say, but

  632. it took a man. Jesus said, you want to see

  633. the devil go out.

  634. I'm with it.

  635. But that week, bless has got to pray, that weak

  636. pless has got to past.

  637. My spiritual issues.

  638. They cannot.

  639. Don't pray God, prayer and fasting, those aren't my words.

  640. Don't crucify the mail man.

  641. Don't crucify the messenger thinking about the message.

  642. And I know there's people that are diabetics.

  643. I can't go very long without eating anymore without extreme consequences.

  644. This is why we still need to do whatever we

  645. can in the.

  646. Church said, Amen, the Church of yestery your believe in

  647. prayer and fasting.

  648. Tell me when's the last time you heard of somebody even.

  649. Preach on prayer, or somebody preach on honest or somebody

  650. preach on faithfulness in the House of God or to

  651. the Lord I mean, if that man has to rise

  652. up and roll up as many has been laying on,

  653. you're gonna have to do something to.

  654. I'm not hard and I'm not mean. I'm just trying

  655. to let you know.

  656. I'm in your corner and I'm trying to tell some

  657. Jesus ain't gonna go out there.

  658. And mow your yard. Look at your neighbor and say, hey, neighbor,

  659. you know this.

  660. Jesus ain't gonna take out your trash.

  661. Huh.

  662. Say if I still a little pastor, look at your

  663. neighbor and say, hey, neighbor.

  664. But you know, Jesus won't mow your grass.

  665. He may send somebody to mow your grass, but there's

  666. gonna be something that you've.

  667. Got to do. And so Mary's plead with.

  668. The lowly servants was, don't perceive him as another man.

  669. You perceive him as I have as your master.

  670. Lowly servants and sister, we're not counted the high honor

  671. and a great privilege anytime nearing a service or nearing

  672. the day, that God would speak to me of something

  673. to do.

  674. If it's hand to hoo ten dollars, if it's.

  675. Helped out hurting homeless person, I'm telling you, whatever it

  676. is he fits me to do, I am glad to

  677. do my I remember when I was a little boy

  678. in the Church of God. I was raised in the

  679. Church of God. I probably spent as much time.

  680. In the Church of God as a having an independent

  681. hold in this church.

  682. I guess I spent nearly eighteen years in the Church

  683. of God. I spent a little longer than that in

  684. the independent churches. But you know, even back then, we

  685. had a missionary come to the church.

  686. And that missionary was from India, and he was.

  687. Tastising the big money men in the church because he

  688. said it had been a trend amongst those that have

  689. been in the States to not have the missions. And

  690. he said, you people don't realize you've got to be

  691. the legs and the arms and the hands and the

  692. vita of the Gospel.

  693. I'm telling you that is correct that.

  694. Marble said that we are to go into oh out

  695. of the world and preach the Gospel. We know have

  696. seven or eight outreach ministries weekly. Because we're special and because.

  697. We just love ruling those cala things.

  698. We feel like we must be obedient to their great

  699. commission and do what we can to fuckil that. Come here,

  700. Brother Nathan. You'll bring that chair right here, Brother, put

  701. it in front of the pulpit. And then I want

  702. you to come get these delicate glasses that are here

  703. in this pulpit.

  704. They're glass containers.

  705. I want you to handle them delicately because those are

  706. containers that will be used in your sister's wedding come Saturday.

  707. Ye'll put that one in the chair, put the next

  708. one in the chair.

  709. You may need to set them on a song book

  710. in order to keep them well balanced. I don't know,

  711. maybe they'll sit in that chair without having a good

  712. solid support. You see, Mary did not back hand Jesus

  713. for his response, and Brother Tyler, I'm telling somebody in

  714. this building, it appeared to the old booker that wasn't

  715. fully paying.

  716. Attention that he was protesting her.

  717. But she knew better than that, because she knew her

  718. Jesus and she knew her son who was her Jesus.

  719. She knew how running out of wine for their.

  720. Guests was an embarrassment for the host and their family.

  721. She knew this.

  722. I can only imagine how embarrassed Sister Howell would be

  723. if we ran out of.

  724. Food Saturday night.

  725. I saw her all afternoon today and all day long Saturday,

  726. ever spare moment that she had estimating the number of

  727. the guests that would be in attendancy to our daughter's wedding.

  728. Grat Jacob, I would say, the greatest stressor in her

  729. life right now is making sure that we have enough

  730. nurishment and refreshment for our guest. Sister whom you can

  731. relate because you're a consciencious server. The sister here you

  732. can relate to because you and your mother for years

  733. didn't conscientious.

  734. The servers not just a service, but server. I don't

  735. get what I'm saying.

  736. And she knew how bad the backroom and belied would.

  737. Fee your love. She knew that Jesus already knew something was.

  738. Wrong, and she knew he knew that they did not

  739. have enough money to supply represhments. And if we run

  740. out of refreshments and nourishments for our daughter's wedding, her ceremony,

  741. and won't be because.

  742. Of Dad did not have her enough money.

  743. It will be because we did not properly plan them

  744. for our night and guessed her.

  745. Or come on, now, I don't don't lie that this happened.

  746. To read it did, but nevertheless some things or heard

  747. about her who cannot get around some transdays.

  748. So what are you gonna do? What you gonna do?

  749. Just sit there through that revive, will not get blessed.

  750. Just sit there through that service and not.

  751. Do what God told you to do.

  752. He said, Well, I want Jesus to feel it when

  753. I worship him. I want Jesus to feel that blessing me.

  754. Why it is Jesus blessing my brothers and sisters the

  755. way he's blessing him.

  756. Why do I go home service after service.

  757. Asking myself why did they get my blessing?

  758. Why did they get touch and I didn't get touch?

  759. Why did they get with on the Holy Messer and

  760. I did not even get to one drop? I'll tell

  761. you it is because of obedience. In every instance of

  762. every time somebody gets.

  763. Blessed, they have get it as men. And that's some

  764. men in them self to the will of God.

  765. Up in the holy goos in this place, Brother Lathan,

  766. you'll take that larger container and just pour a little

  767. mint in that smaller container. That larger container represents the Lord,

  768. his blessings, the holy ghosts, and sometimes even the church.

  769. The church is just full of resources. God's mercy is everlasting.

  770. It reaches to each and every generation. The only point

  771. of termination is when the life ceases and when God's

  772. grace sees because of termination of life. But it just

  773. extends forever mercy, love and grace. Oh, the ever reaching,

  774. the ever so long, infinite reach of our Lord. And

  775. brother and sister will have known that there might have

  776. been one or two of those servants that took a

  777. messor and said, I'm just going to do a little

  778. bit because it is enough.

  779. I don't know if that's the case.

  780. Or not, but I notice that the Lord's mother, Mary

  781. was told you've got to do something, and Brother Jesse

  782. told him what to Jesus told him what to do,

  783. brother Jesse, and you know what she said, You've gotta

  784. feel it, just like he just said, feel it.

  785. If you don't see him feeling out.

  786. To perform in this miracle for you, you're gonna do it

  787. just exactly the way he said do it.

  788. My daughter was in a predicament.

  789. She needed medication for that infection that was literally eating.

  790. Her alive with the inside out.

  791. As part of the pharmacists down here to local Walmart,

  792. and know it all, waited about twenty four hours to

  793. even attempt to fill the prescription.

  794. Just to how.

  795. I went in there and asked him, did you transfer that?

  796. They said, yes, we did. Just to How, being the

  797. wise woman that she is, she said, I don't think so,

  798. cause I just talked to him and they said they

  799. have not received it. She said, huh, I said it.

  800. Sister Howl was watching. Sister Hannah witnessed this. She got

  801. on the computer and immediately sent it and she said,

  802. it's there.

  803. Trusted me.

  804. I just looked Sis to Hawl whispered to Hannah and

  805. said they just said it. They just now sent it.

  806. And Sister Hannah got on the phone and called Kaine

  807. and Drugs here in town and said did you get it?

  808. And they said we just received it right now, just

  809. mere seconds ago. And sister how out loud, not being

  810. a smart of it.

  811. They sent it just now, Hannah, and that's why they

  812. got it.

  813. You see, that woman was refusing to do her part

  814. for whatever reason. It seems like since COVID especially, and

  815. it seemed like the rebellion and the stubbornness.

  816. Send people anymore.

  817. I mean, it's hard for us employers to find good help.

  818. It seems like people.

  819. Want us do as little as they can.

  820. Ah.

  821. That is the anthem of every employer that I know.

  822. When I go to a business meeting amongst high power business,

  823. then every last one of them is saying, if I

  824. can tie good health, if I can clone myself ten times,

  825. I could be a successful as the worst pre covid.

  826. Every king of McDonald's can't even pie anybody willing.

  827. To work anymore? What's going off?

  828. People learn how to not do something, and that's much happened,

  829. And mother touches.

  830. People have learned to sit there by.

  831. The wayside and not do anything. Oh, I don't feel

  832. that good at my soul. Like now Fromes the Lord,

  833. our helper is here. And so Mary the worker not

  834. second to Mark the Lastra's sister, Marry, the mother of

  835. chooses the worker. She says, you better feel them up.

  836. You better be just like he said, filling up to

  837. the realm. Listen, if you'll fit it, he will fit it.

  838. A whole.

  839. Sweet Love of God, do you think that Jesus would

  840. have performed this notable miracle if they hadn't brought glasses

  841. that were partially feeling do you think that Jesus would

  842. have turned the water into wine and deeppot the laws

  843. of nature if they had just poured just enough to

  844. get by. I prayed just enough to feel better here.

  845. I didn't change who you came here in my life.

  846. I didn't told me the six packer. I didn't told

  847. me that Johnson. Listen, come and liver here from.

  848. Alcoholism and trug ad Dix. But they're gonna have to

  849. turn a.

  850. Worrud after God and Prussia. That Jack tells up coming Jim,

  851. be hold, the come on Christian will fire Jim and Jack. Yes,

  852. the Christian will no longer see jam Bean and Jack

  853. Daniels as their best friend.

  854. But they do just enough.

  855. And then they say, I want to feel God. I

  856. want to blessing, Say God, I got that.

  857. I not going down. All that showers a messing to

  858. rain down.

  859. And told me can't imagine as Jesus sustaining there when

  860. there's ultramos.

  861. For twelve men.

  862. I'm sure he's saying mentally, it's out.

  863. Of himself going it's the matter. Keep Paul feeling her. Yes,

  864. she got touched up into the piefa. Yes, he got

  865. touched up this past Sunday morning and this past Sunday night,

  866. and I did this Sunday morning and even tonight.

  867. But you better keep pouring in there. I said, you

  868. better keep feeling it there until you feel it to

  869. the mail.

  870. The old Church of God preacher used to say it

  871. out this, you better pray it through.

  872. You better pay till you have complete total victory in

  873. your lives.

  874. And the church says and that, man, Oh sweet, no, God,

  875. we walk the miracle without the message. You know why,

  876. because we don't like the words of the message. We

  877. say we love the messenger, but we don't like the message.

  878. That's what Jesus was saying. How sayest thou that you

  879. love me and you're unwilling and you choose to not

  880. do what I said today. Oh it's going on right

  881. and left each and every day. Will to stretch your

  882. hand towards Heaven and just pray right now and notch there. Hey, man,

  883. would you just ask God to help you come in

  884. the focus that this is a message for you.

  885. We can't have a lights of eaysical attitude right now.

  886. There's some of you right now. You know you are

  887. a quarter canister Christian.

  888. You know you're a half pot CHRISTI somebody used to

  889. say about me when I manage that engineer in office

  890. before I started preaching down here.

  891. They said one thing about Jeremy's department.

  892. They always have a part of copy that is filled

  893. to the brim. You know, my brother Jesse, we didn't

  894. want clientle. We didn't want customer or any worker or

  895. shop boss that came into that engineering department to ever

  896. see anything less but a fool cup of copy.

  897. We wanted in the know one we have exactly what

  898. you're looking for. I wanted my transtman to know you

  899. can stay awakened.

  900. Because we got plenty of coffee here. I don't get

  901. what I'm saying you can. I'm not giving a brim commissle,

  902. but I'm telling you you gotta pied it up to

  903. the rim if you want God have not the rest

  904. you until you cannot contain it. By best say that

  905. that couple turn run over. I'll tell you n of

  906. Rut's uncle. We do pour uncle, it's faster.

  907. Let's he pays a head.

  908. Sweep by my God, fill it up, fill it up

  909. to the brim, Fill the water pots with water. That's

  910. the words that Jesus fill the water pots with water.

  911. And the Bible said, and they Jesus mandated, feel brother,

  912. what I could hear him saying to the servant that

  913. ain't fool yet.

  914. And the Bible said, and they who are they?

  915. The servants, the lowly servants are following on us. Thank you, Mother, Nathaniel, Yes, sir,

  916. I heard yall. I'm gonna do better. Read my Bible

  917. for about two days. I'm gonna do better praising the

  918. Lord for my two services. Then I'm gonna good bye

  919. to the things that I destroyed. The I'm gonna spend

  920. more time rebuilding her to old me than the new maid.

  921. Wow, why not spend the efforts building the new you

  922. destroying me? Hold you that building the new? Sister? Hear

  923. so many people spend so much time and efforts.

  924. They insolved themselves, and they insult themselves trying.

  925. To build the old.

  926. Be like the apostle Paul trying to become the superstar,

  927. say Hindred again. Be like the apostle Paul trying to

  928. raise his testimony and the encounter that he had with

  929. Jesus on the road to Damascus.

  930. Are you serious?

  931. God has spoken to you and told you to praise

  932. and grave me, the Bible said, clap your hands ho

  933. you people shouting the god.

  934. Lost doesn't matter how he can he wrote.

  935. He can't.

  936. A man was calling. All was up and what he

  937. wasn't pely good?

  938. Who gave?

  939. The man was told to go to the player and Russia?

  940. He was not the good? How clear was somebody helped killer?

  941. I repealers ain't got nothing to do with it? Your hope, edience,

  942. how's everything away?

  943. Froll up? How to re bible?

  944. Your mother put pastel trenches today because we drain OURPEDI

  945. it's out the window. Brother Jacob and I was eating

  946. lunch together today at the Cactus hunts.

  947. I don't know what promote tell to say this? Will

  948. you having, Brother Jacob, let me tell you high to

  949. the wall any man, I won't everybody know it was

  950. him and said this not me.

  951. He said, Pastor, I've been thinking about a couple of

  952. the preachers that turned sideways a couple of years ago.

  953. Said maybe that woman that ran home to study and

  954. prepare about.

  955. Preaching out of us. Get stuff coming out of the window,

  956. he said. Jesus said, said I am the door. He said, man,

  957. that guy got goofy and he said to other goofy

  958. preachers followed the goofy preacher. They followed the leader, sister walker.

  959. What he was saying is goopy blind men following the

  960. goopy leader. One god preacher, i'mout standing out the wind.

  961. Didn't get what you can, he said, my Jesus saying,

  962. he is the door. I'm not living outside the window.

  963. My Jesus a saying.

  964. Anybody that tries to come out any other lady than

  965. the door there a thief for the writer.

  966. I thought about that all afternoon. Goopy preachers, he said,

  967. follow the goopy leader.

  968. He asked me, he said, as a soon to be

  969. son in law coming through the door. I said, as

  970. far as I know he is. He said, he's coming

  971. in the window? Is he?

  972. I said, not that I know of.

  973. I sure hope not, because.

  974. I don't take too kindly to somebody coming in the window.

  975. In fact, he doesn't tell no matter who it is.

  976. If I'm in the bed in the middle of the night,

  977. could be one of my own boys coming in the window,

  978. I would automatically assume that they are a thief, and

  979. a roma would volunteer.

  980. Your mother's the preacher, he is there so many people

  981. trying to figure out another way to have church, trying

  982. to figure out another way how to do it, trying

  983. to figure out another way to live. Hey, there's only

  984. one way. Why don't we just do what the loss

  985. that do and.

  986. Stop fighting it? Brother Nathaniel, you just about got that

  987. thing up to the brim.

  988. That's close.

  989. Just a little bit more, and an acoustic guitar player's

  990. seat's gonna be wet. How don't suspect he'll feel life

  991. picking the strings during the altar service if you go

  992. tooth Park. But what I do need is some brother

  993. to run back there to the bathroom and get a

  994. bunch of paper towels, because I know the nature.

  995. How brother Nathaniel, howell, our.

  996. Youth pastor, he's not going to just let it to

  997. a ride an eight tub of an inch from the top.

  998. And there's some of you. You're so closer to your miracle.

  999. He's so closed to you, he love, he's so close

  1000. to the outpolm who's so close to.

  1001. The entail of the holy ghost to not just stops

  1002. on the ninth of an inch? Is two sat during

  1003. that revival, God spoke to me.

  1004. He said, have at least one, sometimes two. However, it

  1005. works out of your son's pray for you during the revival.

  1006. I could have said, I'm the seat of your pastor

  1007. here I could have said, thank your brother Gabriel.

  1008. I appreciate that. In fact, brother Gabel, just take these

  1009. in lining around.

  1010. What is the vessel that's going to receive because I

  1011. have a feeling that cup is going to run over.

  1012. You may even have to pick up that glass container.

  1013. Those of you that can look in and it's transparent,

  1014. you can see that it's it's just a little bit

  1015. shy of running over.

  1016. Do you know I may not be able to see

  1017. him your heart. God he sees the exterior and the interior.

  1018. That is the most frightful verse of the Bible for me.

  1019. When worldly Christians say, don't touch me.

  1020. God knows my heart.

  1021. I've always been a little bit concerned about that scripture.

  1022. And I told him, I said, you're exactly right. God

  1023. knows that heart. The Bible said, the heart is deceitl

  1024. above everything.

  1025. All things who can't know it. And so when they

  1026. say I know my heart and God knows my heart,

  1027. I know.

  1028. This the liar, I mean the word of God. This

  1029. says not my words.

  1030. I'm just one of them guys crazy enough to believe

  1031. the Bible. The Bible's right, somebody's wrong. Brother G. E.

  1032. Patterson used to see how many of you know the

  1033. Bible is still right?

  1034. That is not just as somebody. A host of churches

  1035. are wrong. I'm not saying we're perfect, nor I'm not

  1036. saying we're the only churches right. But I am saying

  1037. we as individuals, we've got a role to play in America.

  1038. And know some of you asking God for a miracle,

  1039. but you've got to do it. Oh if I can

  1040. just have a good testor that's what you were saying,

  1041. come here. Now you're traveling two and a half hours

  1042. to church. You take in one service and go home.

  1043. There's something you got to do. If you're gonna feel

  1044. what you feel like you're getting here, We're gonna have

  1045. to feel the order God except get there hitting that

  1046. truckle tell some Gasolionia.

  1047. They get aft there like there are other churches between

  1048. here and there, maybe, but they don't.

  1049. Work for him.

  1050. We know one we've got to do. We know one.

  1051. We need this bride and bridegroom and the parents.

  1052. They are being wornified and embarrassed, me humiliated.

  1053. I know what embarrasses you. Service at the service seeking

  1054. Holy go.

  1055. Some revival closes and you go home without what you

  1056. said until beget that revival I'm gonna get.

  1057. But what your forgetting this?

  1058. I've got something I've got to do, Brother Roy Dafter

  1059. He used to crash his car quite regularly since the sending, Neely,

  1060. that was your brother in law.

  1061. As soon as I say the name Roy, I.

  1062. Don't even have to put the prefect's work brother on

  1063. the subjects. After all gotta do is say Roy, and

  1064. we all go to laughing and go to smiling. That

  1065. little dafter man stood about this talk, probably about five

  1066. foot three.

  1067. And a half. He wore that big old hat that

  1068. looked like a fifty five gallon bucket on his head.

  1069. Drawing on his head, he said he looked good in it.

  1070. He couldn't even hardly keep his feet hit gone between

  1071. the lines. He was always having little fender benders. And

  1072. now all I would combarely say over the dash. But

  1073. that was just a great, great, great, great guy. But

  1074. he also had a few issues he had to deal with.

  1075. And fortunately, near the end of his death, he had

  1076. been attending here tomorrow and he'd got some things picked

  1077. up with God, fixed up with God. But brother Tyler,

  1078. one of the things he'd do, he'd stand up and testify,

  1079. and he hold this hen cut like this stick, that

  1080. left hand out there, Brother Tyler, do you remember what

  1081. he do showing you're doing it already?

  1082. And then he'd take the other two fingers on the

  1083. right hand and.

  1084. He'd tat his hand and he said, apparently there's a

  1085. few more things I've got to do after that accident,

  1086. after I must chopping his foot off with an axe.

  1087. That man could swing an axe. He could make a

  1088. means walk cabbage.

  1089. You know.

  1090. But he always said, apparently there was something I got

  1091. to do.

  1092. And that's why my stupid self has not accidentally killed myself,

  1093. because there's a few more.

  1094. Things I got to do.

  1095. And I used to think, you're right, buddy, there are

  1096. some things that we got to do. Terses do not

  1097. believe that they believe what Jesus said.

  1098. He is finish that there was nothing for humanity to there.

  1099. They grandly ain, inviting.

  1100. Off on that they should not have took that hook

  1101. light and secret they'll shut up for us to do.

  1102. Jesus himself told the woman take it in the very

  1103. act of adultery.

  1104. He said, you go and sin no more. It was

  1105. going to take action on her part not to repeat

  1106. that same sin I made. It had been habitual sin.

  1107. Jesus is saying, at this point, break the habitual sin.

  1108. Is that offensive? But there's some people beta start.

  1109. That man stood out there and listen to you pool

  1110. for him yesterday, and he preached to him. And I

  1111. saw you pointing to the word and pointing to the stars,

  1112. and you played with him, and you said, I know

  1113. you're hearing voices, and I know you're telling me you

  1114. need help.

  1115. But what he didn't want to do was pray. He said,

  1116. not today, not.

  1117. Today, Later in the month, when is a convenience time,

  1118. when it's a convenient season.

  1119. I will pray.

  1120. A Grippa knew there was something he needed to do.

  1121. And how many people have woke up in hell saying

  1122. I knew what I should have done. Oh, I just

  1123. felt a hole the ghost in a mighty way. How

  1124. many people missed heaven and slid into hell because they

  1125. refused to do what God told him would do. Give

  1126. me an example. I'm glad you asked. One of our

  1127. contexts was the mighty prophet Samuel put the bony finger

  1128. in the face of the great King Saul and saying,

  1129. did you not know to obey is better than to sacrifice?

  1130. You see, this woman knew they're running out of wine.

  1131. Then it came to the place they have ran out,

  1132. and Mary knew only Jesus can help sister, who she

  1133. knew is going to take total, complete, absolute, full obedience.

  1134. Sister, howell, when I think about Samuel.

  1135. Telling Saul, who knew of the Lord so well, he

  1136. knew what it was to propheside with the prophets and

  1137. to fall under the anointing, And to think that Samuel

  1138. with tears running down his face because he definitely had

  1139. been crying and praying for Zoul.

  1140. He said, Samuel, the Lord said, til Saul outn't delight.

  1141. In burn offerings and sacrifice his only I'd rather see

  1142. you obey my voice. I'd rather hear you obey my voice,

  1143. because behold, it is better to obey than a sacrifice.

  1144. In a hearken in the fat of Rams. When Samuel said, behold,

  1145. I could hear him cry.

  1146. And look, Saul, you're in so much trouble, Saul, God

  1147. sent me to you to tell you the kingdom has

  1148. been taken and given to the.

  1149. Tragedy of the story of Saul's disobedience is. God had

  1150. given Soul explicit instructions on how.

  1151. To handle a group of wicked people called the.

  1152. Malakites, and saw the son of Kiss of the tribe

  1153. of Benjamin should have knew that whenever the children of.

  1154. Is were left each of their first enemy was the Malakites.

  1155. Their very first enemy, the nation that trying to destroy

  1156. them as they made their way from Sin to the Promise.

  1157. Was that a malakits Saul. Why to to tiptoe or

  1158. well Sin?

  1159. God knew this was the very first man of people

  1160. to attack God's people after they left Egypt. You know

  1161. alcohol and you know drugs has destroyed people. Why would

  1162. you even think about smoking a joint? You know that

  1163. alcohol has busted up marriages, and you know that men

  1164. have gave their babies dpper and milk money for alcohol.

  1165. Why would you considered? So obeyed Samuel and God up

  1166. until a certain point. But then he stopped short. He

  1167. stopped short.

  1168. You do what to do, but you didn't do it.

  1169. So so acted as though he was worshiping the Lord

  1170. with what he didn't destroy You know them, sheep I'm saving.

  1171. There's so I could offer them in a sacrifice to

  1172. the Lord. You know that king that I'm saving. They

  1173. may gag.

  1174. There's so I can parade him around as a trophy

  1175. and say, look at what the Lord has done.

  1176. Listen.

  1177. When it comes to obie, God doesn't play games. And

  1178. I'm telling you this afternoon. I shook and I shuddered,

  1179. and I trembled when God spoke that into my heart.

  1180. To tell one or two the game is over, game over.

  1181. Do you know what you need to do?

  1182. You went through revival, left for your life, praid just

  1183. a little bit. God plays no games when it comes

  1184. to obedience, and Mary knew this. You better not feel

  1185. it to they thimn inch from the top of you.

  1186. Better feel it to the brim, feel the water pots

  1187. from water. When she told those service to do as

  1188. he had spoken, they did as she had spoken. In

  1189. our text with Fire, where Jesus was called upon to

  1190. do the impossible, do you realize who you have summons

  1191. for divide assistance?

  1192. Do you realize who you have summons to your side?

  1193. Do you realize that you have requested a sintense of

  1194. the Lord?

  1195. And then when he asked you to do something, no

  1196. matter how trivial you see you, it's gonna try for

  1197. matter you need.

  1198. To do what.

  1199. My brother all anymore was here tonight. He probably say,

  1200. past or, how excuse me? But may I see why

  1201. don't you do what God asks you? Is how many

  1202. of you know God demands or requires that we do

  1203. exactly as He said to do?

  1204. And saw I'm seventeen and six? Is that I have

  1205. called upon thee for thou will hear me? God?

  1206. Do you realize who you're calling upon? Mary called upon

  1207. Jesus Luke six or forty six? Jesus said, a why

  1208. call you me? Lord?

  1209. And do not the things which I say?

  1210. You see, Jesus expects his hearers and the children to

  1211. face up through responsibility.

  1212. He doesn't want men.

  1213. And women to be simple, and he does that want

  1214. men and women to be informed and instructed on me.

  1215. Y'all need to get a hold of that. It's not

  1216. good enough that you're being instructed and informed. He explacts

  1217. the application. He wants you to know what are you

  1218. going to do about this? He wants you to decide

  1219. I'm going to do it. That's what David said. I

  1220. won't wallow in indecision.

  1221. I'm gonna wait until the valley of Elaw and I'm

  1222. taking the head of Goliath off tonight. Somebody needs to say,

  1223. you know what, enough is enough. It's time that I

  1224. obey God. It's time that I receive an except what

  1225. God has given me. When you said, into my heart,

  1226. seek my face, Lord, my heart set it to you

  1227. thy face, I will see God.

  1228. I tell you what Jesus wants you to do.

  1229. He wants you to feel that water pop to the brim,

  1230. that one that is in Brother Nathaniel's hand, that watertop

  1231. will be filled to the brim right now. You know what,

  1232. Sister Howell, he expects application apply this message to your

  1233. life right now.

  1234. Don't be a hero.

  1235. Only, but heed. I'm gonna be faithful in church attendance.

  1236. I'm gonna be faithful in daily Bible reading. I'm gonna

  1237. be faithful in prayer. I'm gonna be fervent in spirits

  1238. serving the Lord. Even right now, you can see that

  1239. that is filled to the brial. I believe any scientist,

  1240. in any doctor, any professional of any field, would admit

  1241. that is filled to capacity. Jesus expects us to do

  1242. our best and when I've done my very best, I

  1243. can depend on him to do the rest. Brother Jesse,

  1244. when you come to the piano tonight, he expects application.

  1245. Don't be a hero, only be a doer. Implement what

  1246. he is said to do in your life.

  1247. Implement it, apply it well. I've heard the preacher exhort,

  1248. I've seen him admotish. I've heard exactly what God has

  1249. told him to tell me to do. I know exactly

  1250. what Jesus would have me to do. But I don't

  1251. feel like implementing it in my life.

  1252. Why not? Is it not powerable? Is it not desirable?

  1253. Is it not coming?

  1254. Because for right now it seems like water, but it

  1255. will be wine in the end. Right now it seems

  1256. like work and.

  1257. Effort, labor, but it will be wine.

  1258. In the end. It will bring refreshment, It will bring nourishment.

  1259. Brother Roquat, the Lord took h two oze and turned

  1260. it into something greater with more components. He added certain

  1261. ingredients and elements into it that were nonexistent. The thing

  1262. you're asking God to do is do them intcle in

  1263. my life. You're asking the Lord to do.

  1264. A miracle in your life. But you have to be

  1265. willing to feel it to capacity.

  1266. Forget about is the glass half full or half empty?

  1267. Forget about optimism and pessimism. Think about obedience. You know

  1268. why the salmon's cut was running off. You know why

  1269. a table was prepared for him in the presence of

  1270. his enemies.

  1271. Because of a simple obedience.

  1272. Sometimes we say, well, my faithful church attendance, what's that

  1273. going to do for me? You'll be surprised. There's people

  1274. in this building that said in the last six months

  1275. their lives have radically changed. There's people in this building

  1276. and have started reading five chapters a day over the

  1277. last two weeks, and they told me that their life

  1278. has forever more changed already. You know why, because faith

  1279. cometh by hearing the word of God. They're getting a

  1280. spiritual exercise. I believe it was brother Thomas Sterrett, my

  1281. brother E. J. Wallace that told me Friday night, both

  1282. of them not knowing the other one, that told me

  1283. the same thing.

  1284. They said.

  1285. All day today we've listened and looked at read the

  1286. Book of Jeremiah. Brother Starreh says, you know what he said,

  1287. so much as said by modern preachers about Sodom and gamar.

  1288. But sometimes you and.

  1289. Jeremiah and others that the preachers need to understand.

  1290. A lot of times I mentioned this in my servant.

  1291. The message of Jeremiah was to Jerusalem and Judah. It

  1292. was to the people of God. But all we're doing

  1293. is pointing at Sodom and Gamar.

  1294. But the prophet's ministry, largely, for the most part, was

  1295. to the people of God.

  1296. You've got to do something for us to have reviibal in.

  1297. The land, every great spiritual wakening, every revival again with

  1298. a small band of people, every movement.

  1299. If we're going to save our country, if I had

  1300. to begin with groups of seventy and eighty here and.

  1301. There, or maybe groups of two or three here and there,

  1302. and they will say, you know what, they're doing what

  1303. they can to destroy our faith. And if I, Jesus said,

  1304. when I come again, will I find faith on the earth.

  1305. But I'm gonna see to it that I'm here here

  1306. in the Word of God. I'm gonna see to it

  1307. that I'm reading my Bible and pray. Let's stand tonight.

  1308. Feel the water pots with water.

  1309. Their response was crucial situation critical, yes, But so was

  1310. their response.

  1311. They Brother Nathaniel, they feel the pots to the ground

  1312. total obedience.

  1313. They filled the pots, and then.

  1314. I would say it because of their obedience, He's felt

  1315. like doing something for them.

  1316. Philip f I l l it and he will feel.

  1317. Fee l it only when they obeyed him fully. Brother Jeremiah,

  1318. did he do the conversion? I believe when that last

  1319. drops splash in that water pot that contained two or

  1320. three perkins of peace, suddenly to the observer the shade

  1321. in the tent of that water change colors. The miracle

  1322. was taking place. There is no doubt a miracle in

  1323. the making. But I want to ask you what about

  1324. the man. There is a miracle in the making, but

  1325. God is looking for a man and somebody you need

  1326. to learn, and that he didn't teach you this. And

  1327. I'm trying to teach you that they spend a whole

  1328. lot more time with you than I do. But sometimes

  1329. you just have to do as you're told.

  1330. For about two.

  1331. Years now, the Holy Coat has been saying to his people,

  1332. seek me, fall on your knees and fall on the

  1333. rock and be broken a broken heart, a contract spirit.

  1334. I will not despise. Some things will leave you.

  1335. If you're just fast and pray, you'll find yourself great

  1336. to health to benefit it.

  1337. If you'll just attend church and read your Bible, you will.

  1338. Find yourself in despair, arness, simple obedience, simple obedience, and

  1339. the spirit of name and is present in the churches today.

  1340. And here's what they say. I expected something greater. I

  1341. expected something greater. I thought you were going to tell

  1342. me to dip in the rivers of a bottom far far.

  1343. No, just go down there to buddy Jordan, and do

  1344. what God told you to do, and immediately damon.

  1345. As soon as you do it, you will no longer

  1346. be a leper. You will be made whole. And I'm

  1347. telling you as your pastor, I love you.

  1348. As a preacher. I'm pulling for you the first lady's sister,

  1349. how is a prayer? And pull them for you. You

  1350. could tell to night if we've got a burden for you,

  1351. we're pouring into you. But until you insert your only

  1352. money into it and say, God, you know what, I'm.

  1353. Praying until it blesses me.

  1354. Not He's fixing the open altars and I'm going to

  1355. just flop on an altar and pretend to pray.

  1356. But I'm really want to pray.

  1357. Let's bow our hints tonight. I feel like a proper

  1358. response is very for about three people. If you were

  1359. one of them, three.

  1360. Would you start making your way to this altar tonight?

  1361. Brother sister, I realize there's about six or seven already moving.

  1362. I realize my obedience is so important. I realize there's

  1363. something I must do. There's something I must do. There's

  1364. twelve or thirteen moving in the altar.

  1365. Now, may all of us just find a place to pray,

  1366. which you ask God, what would you have.

  1367. Me to do?

  1368. And when he tells you what to do, be sure

  1369. to do it. It's an honor. Hey, it's a prayer.

  1370. It's to say yes, for I will do it. Yes more,

  1371. We'll give you all.

  1372. I will give you all.

  1373. Before he's watch you ask.

  1374. That's what he's asking for all able take yourself to
