I live to give - Bro Jeremy Howell 4-21-2024
Publisher transcript
Transcript
-
Paid to the Book of Sacred Corinthians. May I direct your attention to the
-
ninth chapter and the seventh verse. Oh, how I thank the Lord for
-
the opportunity and the privilege to have participated in baby Ezra's dedication today, to
-
have seen you be an ear and eye witness of these parents given their precious
-
bundle of joy back to the Lord. How many of you feel like when
-
they gave him back to the Lord, the Lord received him and didn't cast
-
him back down. Now, Brother Jerebiah came to me immediately after that service
-
and he said, Papa, there's something you need to know, And I
-
said, what is that? Say on? He said, Papa, we
-
were looking at one Bible name. That's what we were considering to use as
-
the choice the name for Ezra before we came up with this name of Isra.
-
And he said, exactly as you said. We kept reading of certain
-
events and things that took place and times of backsliding in the life of this
-
biblical character. And he said, we were reluctant and hesitant to name our
-
baby that because of what this biblical character represented to his life. He said,
-
but when we finally understood what our good God would have us to name
-
our baby boy, our bundle of joy. He said, God brought my
-
attention to the Book of Astra, and I began to read it and study
-
it. Am I telling you right, Brother Jeremiah. And Brother Jeremiah said,
-
my attention was drawn to the very verses that you selected as the golden
-
text for this morning's baby dedication service as Rich chapter number seven versus numbers eight
-
through ten. Now only our God can do that, Brother Jeremiah already has
-
put that in writing. He sent me a text confirming that. Because he
-
was so excited about them hitting the bull's eye smack, Dad brought the center
-
of the bull's eye name and their son. That is certainly comforting, is
-
it not, Brother Jeremiah, When the Holy Egos confirmed things like that to
-
Dad Marman, also to the preacher. I mean, the Book of Ezra
-
isn't exactly the longest book in the Bible, and Ezra was definitely quite the
-
author and quite the writer. But only the Holy Egos could have penpointed those
-
very verses. So God is mindful of Brother Azra. With that in mind,
-
how many of you know God is mindful of somebody in this building tonight,
-
I feel like he's mindful of all of us, my dear friend in
-
Christ and brother in Christ. Brother Gabriel said the other day, he said,
-
Pastor, as you say so many times, and it's so true what
-
you say when you say that in every sermon there is something in it specifically
-
for everybody. He said, I can't say that always with every minister and
-
every message, but it has proven true that always and every sermon there's something
-
in it for somebody. And he shared with me a wonderful thing that had
-
happened this past Wednesday night. Who but God, only God. And so
-
that's why I say it's very important that we have the Holy Ghost when we
-
minister. Otherwise we would overlook things it should not be overlooked, and we
-
would miss things it should not be missed. So I feel like the Holy
-
Ghost has put something on my heart tonight, and I want to preach what
-
the Holy ghosts would have me to preach. A servant titled I Live to
-
Give, I Live to Give. Brother Nathaniel Matthew, chapter number ten,
-
verse number eight. Brother Jesse Acts chapter number three, verse number six.
-
You'll see that we have a lot of change up here, probably hundreds of
-
pieces of money. Hundreds, not a handful, several handfuls of pieces of
-
money. We also have an offering pot and an offering ball, because these
-
offering bags just will not do for what God would have us to do tonight,
-
Brother, the thing what you read Matthew chapter number ten and verse number
-
eight Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, shast out
-
devils. Freely ye have received, freely give. Did y'all catch that freely?
-
Ye have received? And freely give? Brother Jesse Acts chapter number three,
-
verse number six. Then Peter said, silver and gold have I none
-
but such as I have, Give I THEE in the name of Jesus of
-
Nadras Nazareth. Rise up and walk such as I have, give I THEE.
-
How many in this building feel like you have something to give? Well?
-
I want to tell every person in this building, regardless of us raising
-
our hand or not, everybody in this building has something to give. Again,
-
I say you have something to give. I want to preach a message
-
the Holy Ghost titled I Live to give. Let's stand for the reading of
-
our golden text. Second Corinthians, chapter number nine and verse number seven,
-
say these first two words with me, every man, Say it again,
-
every man again? How many of you believe that each person in this building
-
has something to give, every man according as he had purposed in his heart.
-
So let him give not grudgingly or of necessity, for God loveth a
-
cheerful. I don't want to force anybody to give tonight. I do not
-
want to force anyone to give anything to their God Tonight. I want to
-
stand back and be an eyewitness and her witness of you, given back to
-
your God of that which he has given to you, which you pray with
-
me. Heavenly Father, we love it, We praise you. We thank
-
you for the opportunity to come to your house. I thank you for the
-
spirit of God. I thank you for the way you have helped these saints
-
tonight, the way they have shouted and praised your holy name for so long.
-
I know we've come in this time of preaching the word of God.
-
I pray that you would have know this, thy servant, Send a guard
-
at my mouth and help me to say the things that you would have me
-
to say, nothing more or less. Anoint the hears of this thy people,
-
that they might hear what is the spirit of God? Saith unto this
-
church tonight through this preach word, through the word of God. God help
-
them. I prayer, let these sayings go below the shoulders. Let them
-
saturate the spirit the heart to find us. Oh, I pray God that
-
we would not hear only, but that we would heave. Help us to
-
be doers. Maybe we depart this place joyfully and not sorrowfully in Jesus' name.
-
And the church says, hey, man, as your man seated,
-
look at your neighbor, and saying, neighbor, I live to give.
-
I believe that. Reading our text again, the Bible says every man according
-
as he purposeth in his heart, So let him give, not grudgingly or
-
of necessity, for God loveth a cheerful giver. Let me see those pearly
-
whites, and for you young people that do not know what that means,
-
that means smile at men. Let me see them buttering butters, all right,
-
they don't look like butters to me, buttery fighters. Let's name it
-
that pearly whites. It got quiet in here, didn't file at me?
-
How many have you loved to give cheerfully? And the frowning and the morning
-
continues our text is found in a New Testament book of the Holy Bible,
-
the Book of Second Corinthians. If there's a First Corinthians, there must have
-
been a Second Corinthians, and there was. We're looking in this particular book
-
of the Bible tonight. The fact that we hold the Second and First Books
-
of Corinthians in our hands. Tonight, let us know that God loves all
-
people. People of all nationalities, people of diverse skin colors, people of
-
different unique personalities. God loves each and every one. How many present tonight
-
are thankful for the inclusivity of our Lord. How many if you are very
-
grateful that you, as gentiles believers, have been brought into the family of
-
God. You see, the prophets of old had propos out of a time
-
forthcoming when the gentiles would be crafted into the family tree of Jehovah. I
-
am glad that we were included in the numbering of those who are the children
-
of God. I'm glad that we were not ignored, but that we were
-
included. I'm thankful that we have not been ignored and that we are involved.
-
How many of you feel like you are involved in service tonight? You
-
feel like you are participating to your full potential. If not as the hole
-
it goes to help you magnify him. And to magnify him is to just
-
blow him up bigger. You cannot increase the size of God. But in
-
your mind and in your heart, you can magnify the Lord. You can
-
increase him in your own thoughts, in your own heart, in your own
-
mind. When the sumner said, O magnify the Lord with me, he
-
was not saying that we could blow up God any bigger. But what it
-
was saying is we could put a right perspective on us, and we could
-
get a better view on this and realize just how great our God is,
-
and we can maximize our potential tonight. We all are givers as Christians,
-
we all have potential. Every person in this building has potential. Why not
-
listen to this message tonight and see if God can help you maximize your potential.
-
We know that the Jews and the Gentiles, we're both created by God
-
of people, were the master pieces of God. But for some reason,
-
by the Jeerimia, throughout a certain period of time, the Gentiles were outcasts,
-
They were shunned, they were overshadowed by the Jewish people. They were
-
overlooked by the Jewish people and Jehovah. But there comes a time when God
-
begins to move on the Jewish prophets, and the prophets began to speak of
-
a time when gentiles would be acknowledge, and when gentiles would be brought into
-
this family tree. And I'm glad to know that we have been grafted into
-
the family tree of Jehovah. I'm glad that we were included in the numbering
-
of those who are the children of God. Paul was quite mindful of this
-
when he addressed the Corinthian believers when he first began to reached them through the
-
written letter. I believe his beloved son in Christ, Timothy, was the
-
male man, the man that brought the first letter to this group of Gentile
-
believers at the Church of corinth After some time, Apostle Paul wrote another letter
-
to these Corinthium believers. Unfortunately, we do not have in our hands that
-
particular writing. It has been lost throughout history. It was not preserved.
-
He many of you know it is very important that we preserve everything that God
-
has given to us. Just before church started tonight, a young woman that
-
used to attend service here faithfully because her family attended here. She texted Sister
-
Howell and I, and she showed us a picture of a greeting card that
-
Sister Plap had sent her many many many years prior today, and that young
-
woman had preserved that card. And in her text message to Sister Hal and
-
I, she said, I love the Bethleem holding this church, and I
-
love sister Plap. I sure do miss her. Now. I don't want
-
you to miss the point up tonight's message, and I don't want you to
-
leave out of here, have it not preserved in your heart what the spirit
-
of God is saying unto those that are gathered in this building. Because I
-
like Timothy simply the mailman. You know, Timothy had been an apostle paulse
-
mailman, and so at some point the apostle Paul said, you know,
-
I've been hearing what is going on down there among the churches at Carith,
-
and I need to go down and put an eye on the situation, my
-
cell and he began to survey the situation, and he left. Because of
-
his mindfulness of those people, he wrote some more letters to them. One
-
of those letters that he wrote to them is this epistle of a Paul named
-
Second Corinthians, and it appears to me that the beloved Apostle Paul stressed to
-
them the importance of giving to others. Before we go any further, I
-
want you to know, it is the purpose and the plan of God that
-
Christians give to others. It's very important that you understand this. If you're
-
going to proclaim yourself to be a child of God, you must live to
-
give. The Apostle Paul, after his conversion, made it clear that he
-
was willing to be spent for ministry for the sake of Jesus Christ. And
-
he understand he stood at the importance of giving things and himself unto others.
-
Before you will and before you can't give to others, you have to have
-
a spirit to give. In our text to not the Bible said that every
-
man should give as he purposes in his heart, to give, not drudgingly,
-
but willingly, for God loveth a cheer for a giver. In the
-
New Testament we read of a time that Paul pointed out that the Gentile believers
-
of Macedonia were given to the Jewish believers. Now, wait a minute,
-
should not have been the other way around that the Jewish believers who had been
-
blessed with so much would have been a blessing and blessing the gentile believers.
-
But the Apostle Paul commanded these gentile believers for sending support back to headquarters.
-
And how they supported their Jewish firs and sisters. Isn't got something? How
-
they can be pushed to the outskirts for so many years and not at yalledge
-
to be overshadowed and overlook but after that they have been converted. They have
-
such a forgiving spirit that they're willing to forgive. They're wrongdoers, no doubt
-
they had the spirit of Christ to living inside of them. You see the
-
impossi Paul understood that they're can and there should be an awesome support system within
-
the Family of Come. There should be no better support group. And then
-
those people that are part of the Family of Come. What Christians weren't givers
-
historically and Christians will continue to be givers until the return of j Jesus Christ.
-
And may I more emphatically say with great emphasis, Christians will always be
-
givers. And Christians have something to give a faint rough wrong. Christians have
-
something in part unto a bank rough society of bank rough society that has no
-
more compass of faith, rough society that has nothing whatsoever spiritually. They are
-
lacking and doing without. We see Christians, So we are givers and nothing
-
less than that. Historically Christians have spent their lives giving to others. So
-
not only the evangelists of the New Testament Church and the missionaries of yesteryear,
-
but Christians of a whole and at large work givers. And Matthew chapter number
-
ten and snumber agent Jesus speaking to his twelve disciples of that following him,
-
he said these words, when you go kiv, I care friends there.
-
But when you come kive, he comes on to say, he on the
-
sick, and cleanse the leopards, raise the dead, cast out carols.
-
Freely he have received and freely give. Sure. I feel like there's people
-
in this neuding that God has giveted with certain her spiritual gifts, and they
-
to kill unto their brother and sister a whole lot better than their ey.
-
It's not all ways speaking of us giving monetarily. It's not always speaking of
-
what we can throw in her to the offering pata, of what we can
-
thrown into the offering man. Sometimes it is speaking out here what we can
-
give spiritual rather than what we can give monetarily. I feel like there's some
-
in this funy that's been asking the question, what can I do? How
-
can I do that? How can I give? I have nothing to give,
-
I have nothing to be thankful for. I don't have enough to myself.
-
How can I give her to somebody else? And some are thinking,
-
I don't know me. I sitgive it. I'm man that I've got something
-
ever since God save myself. God put something in there that I feel,
-
like her I need to give to others. I feel the necessity ascertitude,
-
yes, sir, that I also feel the necessity I'm giving to That is
-
the spirit of Christ. Because if you truly are upon a pie, true
-
blue Christian, you will live to give. Those that seek their life,
-
they lose it. Those that do everything they can to preserve it, they
-
lose it. But those that lose their life, they came it. Willa
-
Shakespeare is not preaching tonight. His title is not to give or not to
-
give? Now, this is the question, without a question. You are
-
to give. That's what Jesus told the twelve apostles. Do you not realize
-
who you are walking with and who has gifted you? And according to how
-
I have gifted you, I want you to give to others. It's always
-
time for the child of God to give. It is past time for some
-
of us to give our very investor and nothing less they are very investor.
-
To come her rup now herm go tearing any older. It is time for
-
you to give in the house of Come. Even when you feel like you
-
give this insufficient and inadequate, and you deem it not enough, you still
-
must give her sacrificially, whether you feel locked it was surpriser and not.
-
It is always proper to give. And it's always a time to give against
-
someone for asking a question, what I had to give? And rich?
-
Should I give? You? A parent in your finding for not to be
-
breathing of the heart place for God in their faith to give or not to
-
give? To shakespeaience in the house of God. To give, that is
-
the answer. To give or not to give is not the question? To
-
give is the answer. In the tenth chapter of the Book of Matthew,
-
we find a list of names of people who Christ chose to evangelize twelve names
-
are there. Each person was gifted to the simple ability. Each person was
-
in fact gifted with authority to rebuke and cast out unclean spirits. Each of
-
the twelve were gifted to heal people of their diseases and afflictions. Different men
-
who came from different walks of life, different men with different backgrounds, different
-
men with different experiences, different men with different upbringing, some different men with
-
different finances, different men with different monetary means. But they were to give,
-
and the calling that they received it was the same man. The common
-
denominator was death. Jesus was speaking to them regardless of their status and their
-
situation, and he said her, when you follow me, you will have
-
luck, but you will live to give. There's two many cleaning. That's
-
of Xtins and Saftral and the church too that look after that teased the fall,
-
pick them up in their messa. They clean them up. Then sit
-
down there. And there are some coud camper would do it nothing. When
-
they were called to leave, I said, you are balld to live.
-
They have togeat where are the outs outrexed ministries and churches today? Where is
-
the given of ourselves are to others? Where is the church that is given
-
of themselves to those that are needed. Some of their people are afflicted,
-
some of them are destitute. Some of them are legitimately suffering, not because
-
of their own choices or the bad choices of others. Some of them have
-
simply fallen upon hard times. Why, oh, why do so many people
-
overlook these things. I know it's easy for somebody to site the modern conveniences
-
of today, and they can say, well, everybody has a cell phone
-
in their hand, and everybody can place a call, and people have family
-
members not too far off that are pretty much pretty nearby. Ah, and
-
brother, your mind. They just kind of explain away why they need to
-
give when they see that widow stranded on the side of the highway, when
-
they see that woman with a little baby out there trying to change the tire.
-
I've told the Howl boys that when they see somebody in a condition such
-
as that, of course, to pull over in a safe place and to
-
exit the vehicle safely, and not to risk or jeopardize her own person because
-
of somebody's poor planner and a peak of a place to park, and to
-
be such a predicament as that. But I've told them to assess the situation
-
and if they can access her the spare tire or the tire tool, and
-
they can do this this tire change safely to do not hesitate to help those
-
that are less tortunate. When the Howl Boys were in Pastor Howell's house,
-
there were a lot of times that we would pull over owner International Highway seventy
-
five or International Highway for a state road eighty, a state ground sixty,
-
a state ground seventy and come up beside somebody and stay, Can I help
-
you? Can I be an assistant? Can I offer you something to help
-
you in your time of need? But now we burying lit the finger and
-
we weave with those people are still help for surely beyond the way. Not
-
everybody's been blessed her with the family unit that you have. Not everybody's taught
-
her to support grouper that you have that took me that long. Now is
-
listening Lito, now that he just recently buried her soul nat her life?
-
Lock he backing lifting your baker. This not ain't money out though that see
-
that puts up in three numbers. The summit's happened. We'll go up in
-
thirty minutes for an hour later morning before. Why don't we so locking puts
-
things off for the ball on what he takes it or need it got to
-
be died today? Why why things that are urgent will be like my son
-
Philip who's been seeking medical treatment because of a doctor deeming the situation an inconvenient
-
situation, and the timing and inconvenient time for him to work out my son
-
Philip into the lay it. You can call it divine delay. You can
-
say God warns you and told you the great horn lie behind that situation.
-
And I do agree. I do not stop. And every person that has
-
pulled over, and I do ask God to give me wisdom and to give
-
me disern me regardless situation. And sometimes the best thing you can do is
-
ask them, do you have a cell phone? Have you called for help?
-
And by talking to them you can tell if you want to exit your
-
vehicle or not. But I'm not so much concerned about that tonight as I
-
am about these people that are in our church houses that are in need.
-
They have been victimized by religious people, and it's taken good Samaritans to come
-
by and acknowledge the fact that they have been the victims of course they're not
-
victims right now because they have been overtaken by the death. How many,
-
if you know, the Bible said, ye that are spiritual, restore such
-
a one in the spirit of meekness. The Bible also went on in another
-
place to say, you better consider how you treat others and how you judge
-
them, lest you also get tempted in that same manner. And we'll see
-
how you do when that tempter comes in your way. There's anybody in this
-
building here tonight. I know we have not got to the exciting stuff yet,
-
but I do know that every person in this building can give something.
-
You can never come to the House of God and present God with nothing.
-
You can pull it inside of your pockets out and say, see, Preacher,
-
I have nothing whatsoever to give. I'm not talking about monetary things.
-
He always sir, I'm not talking about her of your connects and say,
-
oh, al way, sir, I'm talking about her. You casting in
-
to that spiritual offering, contact something that people can tell you have given something.
-
Where's lock who are getting a second? You see these men that were
-
following Jesus, they were men who were armed with the knowledge the salvation and
-
healing was for the gentile and the Jews. These men would spend a lot
-
of time in a lot of years with the Jews. But eventually Peter began
-
to realize, yes, Jesus had instructed us to minister to the Jews.
-
There was even a time that Jesus told the Scipronian woman, he said,
-
it's not me for me to cast the children's bread unto dollars. What Jesus
-
was saying is for this time, as of right now, we are ministering
-
to those inside of these four walls. But the spirit of the prophets was
-
speaking the spirit and the desire of Jesus, and Jesus was working hard on
-
getting the nebula of the nebulace of the church ready for the evangelism effort that
-
was fixing the breakout of the New Testamy Churchill. And so it begins to
-
tell, being like Peter, it's it's time to give her to others.
-
And have any of you remember that sheet that had been lowered down into the
-
prayersence of Peter as he teared her and thought of the Lord. And y'all
-
remember the words of chastisement that the Lord came to Peter he said, don't
-
you call her those things that are inside her? And this Florent sheeta of
-
clean, and recalled Peter. He's going into her the house of her Cornelias.
-
And the Bible said that whatever Peter he heard from the holy ghost that
-
you've got to go now outside of them four walls and go to the house
-
of Cornelius, which is a gentile. And God was saying, I've heard
-
his shop. So they have come up before me, and here's a million.
-
There's not something to be on there, and I'll take an opere give
-
me now a little be a t behind. No you may not a t
-
and a probly, but it's too tear. I hungry in the treaty.
-
But it rolls till the ny til now let it t y to the really
-
till the com be hal clicking and they're tight aout clear. I'm telling you
-
that they're topping in the hand. They're shunning the rway said I'm coming.
-
I'm raising of the hand. T stop them. No, that's a trick.
-
There's a plainting man, there's a clucking hen, there's a creaking in
-
their ears. They're done. They're doll is it? You know you teach
-
tonelis the gentile believer, and while you're preaching to him, I'm gonna remember
-
them offerings, those gifts that he gave. I'm gonna remember his desire to
-
come into Judaism, and I'm gonna take him into the fullness of the spirit
-
that won't bring him into Christianity. And I'm gonna fiel that entire house with
-
a holy ghost. And so God gave gifts under men. He get to
-
the church with pastors and teachers, prophets of angels. He get to the
-
church with Peter and Paul, and they begin to go outside of their four
-
whiles, so to speak, and they begin to minister to gentile believers.
-
In Matthew twenty eight Birst number nineteen, we find a written record and where
-
there was said that they were to make disciples of all nations. This was
-
the opening of the door that you guys are not gonna sit there in your
-
little selfish, self sinnered ways inside of your synagogus. Hey, s I
-
end of gods. I'm telling you there were places of sin because they were
-
so stingy and so greedy and so mean spirited religious. Yes, sir,
-
the devil possessed and devil feel and Jesus sin, you're gonna go past her
-
all of that. Not that everybody that attend worship on the Sabbath, or
-
not everybody that attended the Citagogue. We're looking for a short cut on an
-
easy way out. But there's certainly were some that did not be business when
-
they went to the temple. And this is what Jesus said her. You're
-
gonna go out here and you're gonna make disciples of old nation. You're gonna
-
find those that are willing to live and to give her. I'm telling you
-
there's people in this fury tonight. You better hear what the Holyness to say
-
it. I'm going in Texas and take it. Corinthians kind of seven sent
-
there, sir, every man according I see purposes in his heart. So
-
let him give not crunchingly or butt as necessity for God. Not a cheerful
-
jimp hon't give crunchingly. He give out of necessity to give chimpling. I
-
do a lot of giving un Cornelia. It was cheerful to God. It
-
wasn't a good attitude in a good strak. I just can't help. But
-
damn, the Twelve Apostles were so different, each one was very unique.
-
The pioblicle and here historical records prove this. This very thing is testified of
-
through the word of God. And God wanted each and every one of the
-
men to give, if it included giving of themself, if it included giving
-
their life unto death. I'm sure in the Macedonian Church, in other churches,
-
they were willing to give, because we have the biblical record of their
-
willingness to give monetarity. I know that there were probably people in that same
-
Macedonian congregation that could have gave a whole lot more than they did. I
-
know that the Macedonian Church gave more than some of the other churches. And
-
we all know the letter of Chastisement in the words of the apostle Paul when
-
he spoke concerning these things. Now listen, you may say that you are
-
not very involved in the things of God. You're not very involved in the
-
House of God, You're not very involved in outreach ministry. You're not very
-
involved in musical ministry, teaching ministry, preaching ministry, and preparing food for
-
the homeless. You're not interested at all, and you're not involved in all
-
in open outreach well, I can see you're disinterest even in the house of
-
God. When you're disinterested and given praise, and this makes deserve to our
-
God. Listen, you may see that there were many people in the Bible
-
that were involved and invested into the House of God, into the worship of
-
God. The woman that brought the alabaster box that was full of that precious
-
ointment, she gave every bit of it, every drop. He said,
-
well, I'm reserving some strength. I'm preserving a few ounces of strength so
-
that I'm not so tired tomorrow morning. Why are you not willing to be
-
spent? Why are you not willing to be invested fully? Why are you
-
not willing to exhaust yourself to the fullest extent and degree. We see what
-
Jesse that these people, they were selfless, They were not selfish. I
-
feel like every person in this building tonight should do a self analysis and see
-
just how invested we are, Teancy, just how involved we are with the
-
things of God and the people of God. How invested are you and how
-
involved are you? Right here? That's your whole church. God can open
-
up an oil well in the front yards of every church throughout America in order
-
to take care of each church's financial situation. But God is not doing that.
-
He is relying upon the agency of mankind, you and I bringing in
-
ten percent, you and I giving in the offerance, and seeing to it
-
that we have appealing together together in to see that there is a meet in
-
the house. If you will bread, that some people come murdering bread.
-
Oh come on, now, I'm not trying to take steps out of context,
-
but if you're gonna have revivers, you have to have the means to
-
support those revibs. So that was one of the problems that the Apostle Paul
-
had with some of the early churches was their lock her A desided to support
-
her. He's a Postolic ministrytor and therefore he had to work her with his
-
own hands. I'm telling you, isn't in a crying shame that Jesus would
-
have to consider her in pulling the rocks in the church yall to get something
-
with somebody there to pray her by? Why do we have to look for
-
support and outside of our fair wall. Why do we have to look her
-
for playing her outside of our fail wall. Our CEIs person in the He's
-
building to all that his mole able body. Everybody's gonnavorcepots, everybody can speak,
-
everybody knows a light. Everybody's gonna talk you with blass up the name
-
the Lord. When you start talking about preaching and preaching about preaching, that
-
that says right there becomes Barry love Pop. So God can support all of
-
these houses of worship from doing all. Well, it's just bubb and osa
-
if he wanted to. But he's using boys and girls and moms and dads.
-
That's what Jesus also witnessed was his father using people. That time that
-
Jesus came to the treasury and he leaned up against the treasury, and Brother
-
Jeremiah says that while he was set up over against the treasury, he began
-
to watch as people gave, and he studied the way that they were given.
-
He saw those that were paying time of a niece meant he saw those
-
that were casting into the operatory into the offering puts out of their abundance.
-
You could hear the sound of those big money men as they came in and
-
was wanted. Did not offering sound louder than the man before the offer.
-
They can all tell how much how you give by how much noise. Hey,
-
I'm telling you, sir, Jesus was studying you all. Picture me,
-
Jesus leap up over there by the door of the treasury and watching each
-
and every person. And as they gave. I could see the expression now
-
of disappointment and even disbelief as he looked at the way they gave and the
-
spirited witcher they gave. There's some people giving up merging me. There's some
-
people giving out of necessity. I guess I praise God. If you want
-
me up to praise God, I guess I'll give that U dollar if you
-
walk me to gave without a hole, show the church to receive as of
-
an offer. I just know that I proved high so that one you get
-
back. I can't what the who kills goods, who carols the fool,
-
go and take out of necessity. I told my God, the man of
-
God, Jesus through why they get, Brother Jesus, they won't can hold
-
down, don't That's up Jesus through who were doing the talk through the raw
-
spirit. Jesus Christ, the Son of God was laid up against you.
-
That's right sure, And he's watching, and I can hear the Holy capsul
-
was hit the bust of the Jesus said them, they boys didn't give nothing.
-
They don't have love in their heart. I can hear it Jesus now
-
as he said, that's like a sounding brass. That's like the sound of
-
a brass on the teah, And se I can almost hear Jesus, our
-
son to the father? Did that will take you? Did that? Ill
-
take to everybody? Answer to get all, say did you hear how much
-
noise that made? That's your must have been a lot of cots. That
-
was a lot on the pieces of money, and then carrying in the widow.
-
She only had two months, two pieces of copper, that's all she
-
had, and the bible. Somebody up as this which he is a parting.
-
Oh, she had less of farthing for the father. It made very
-
little noise. A child prefer mama ever crime ever a thought they were prosing,
-
there's father. The sentencing in the from in tons that the two only
-
gave two to the last, but cheese, I say three longside. Probably
-
get on the back to tell the loves give a bard to anybody else the
-
hose. Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, we'll stand to night. Hid
-
we have something that we could give in. As long as it's our best,
-
it is enough. And I feel like the Holy Goes has forbidden me
-
from preaching anymore. I would say, though, Sister Howell, there was
-
something on her face that he saw it, and he said she gave caref
-
the now, y'all think of the devil she had to fight off a She's
-
thought that far thing from the voll y'all listen that said in that building there
-
would have been thirteen offered boxes. We're brazen trumpets on top, specifically desired
-
to make noise everybody hear what was being given? Can nobody fake that they
-
gave? Was it to be obvious that they threw hearing that box? I
-
was dealing with somebody right down. The Holy Ghost has forbid me from God
-
much further then twelve apostles. They gave up a lot and followed Jesus?
-
Did they not? I hadn't even got to the other half of my message.
-
After three and a half years with that man, they realized we lived
-
to give. He didn't have anywhere to lay his head, he didn't have
-
a place to call home. After three and a half years of being with
-
that man, they figured out we lived and give it all to God.
-
And so when they approached that man, as they went into the temple,
-
there was laying at the gate. Here's what they said, I no longer
-
have a successful commercial fishing. Is this Peter and John both have been very
-
extremely successful as commercial watermen fishermen. At this point, Brother Jeremiah, they
-
gave everything they had. Peter could say, Hey, I don't have anything
-
to give what you think I have. I don't have what's in Pharisees and
-
described as adducies have they do have what you think they possessed. They do,
-
But Peter said, silver and gold have I none but such as I
-
have. Give idea in the name of Jesus Christ, Rise up and walk.
-
You have something to give. The very reason I live is to give.
-
Before I got saved, it was how much could a horde? Of?
-
How much could a storm? And I'm not telling anybody to be I'm
-
wives with their finances or to give the babies milk money. The babies die
-
for money. I'm not telling anybody to catch it. You for one cave
-
and give it to the missionary. But I am telling you you can give.
-
You can give up your finances until it hurts. You can give up
-
your body until it hurts. You can spend yourself until it hurts. You
-
can praise God until it hurts your pride, and until Jesus says I took
-
notice of that. That's all this healing in this building tonight for somebody.
-
Our codtext was you go ahead and heal the sick you've cast out to my
-
unclean spirits. You've cast out them devils freely you ever seen freely given?
-
We're either children of God or we're not. I want us to bow our
-
heads in this building tonight. If you know this message was preached to you
-
for you, would you slip your hand up right quickly? One, two,
-
three, four five sens. Okay. For those of you that are
-
thinking I'm speaking of monetary given, I'm not speaking of that only. But
-
for those of you that hold back with pride, that's who I preach to
-
you. When you know God has told you to give him, phrase to
-
use the excuse and I don't worthy, and I don't have to give.
-
My brothers and sisters have been blessed, but I'm lacking and I don't have
-
to give. When you use the excuse that I'm backwards at shy, why
-
don't you bring him your two months. Your excuse is no more as of
-
tonight, It's opposite. Leave because I'm going to tell you what God said.
-
Your little Trayse is just as real and just as special and just as
-
sweet. But it wasn't private. This woman got up front with everybody,
-
and she offered when she put in like everybody else, even when she knew
-
she had less, even when she knew it would ring as loud as everybody
-
else's gift, Even when she knew it would be as loud as Brother Roucats
-
come old Trais and r goal with even when she knew it would be as
-
loud as Sister Wooton's victory shall she came forward and gave him her best.
-
I want to open the platform up to whomever didn't raise your hand and holds
-
back from God that that is right in his I want to give you an
-
opportunity to come pick up two points and cast him into the offered pop and
-
praise him promptly in the right spirit. Because I lived to give, and
-
so does all of his children. There's healing in this house that I Why
-
don't we use the power that God has giveness? Why don't we use what
-
we have. I'm no longer preaching. I'm conducting an altar service. She
-
didn't let her pride keep her from moving forward to anybody. All I have
-
is says who say it may not make news in the Jerusalem past, but
-
it will make news in heaven. Is there somebody else right here tonight that
-
wants to obey the Lord? Your pride? This had fleeing and foreseeing friend
-
of you, you chief man, Jesus Jesus. Oh h h h h.
-
When you're giving the honor he deserves, the glory and the praise,
-
you will sound like artificial intelligence speaking. You will sound like a robot creator
-
by the tech few user today. You won't sound mechanical. That's sound the
-
Pharisees and sada sas and scribes and the precinkay m hm. You won't just
-
do this, Jesus Jesus. Design of necessity. I say, praise the
-
Lord. Girls away was asking everybody to worship Jesus. I feel like that
-
woman had been clutching those two bites and she couldn't wait to give to that
-
austing box. Will you take your turn? But I don't have as much
-
to give. God's going to do something special in this service, whether you
-
get anything special out of it at all, because you're gonna get out of
-
it what you taken to. That's what the balls showed you before. Sat
-
say little not to Jesus. And is it to me that she gave out
-
of her PopEd tongue and laughed. She had no mask of piety in her
-
status, and Jesus concluded that she could have Bullian did all. Yeah,
-
that shady shout you know who. I won't give it my bustle Jesus,
-
that's the man all to give it to them. That's why I'm here.
-
It's because of him. There is something powerful taking place of this. Servants
-
to know, and he cannot be balked with large sons of money. The
-
hole that goes out for it cannot be balked with lord sons of money.
-
That's signs and the socials there people that will give everything. That's what Peter
-
said, I'll give it all houses lives gives this shock kisnesses what the Bible
-
say would be done for such a bad that gave it up such as I
-
have gear by opinion, some of your sisters, you have the holy ghost,
-
don't you? The blood of Jesus. Is play said right, you
-
have head and power because the coward Jesus. The sides of the ranks,
-
Sister, how the the begil brothers laying your hand on your brother freely?
-
We have to say free again. He'll a sick, he is sick.
-
You want to see. That's something we do have done is the blood of
-
Jesus and powers the Jesus to heal the sick, to cleanse the rod,
-
to raise the tail that passed out publes and training. We never seen the
-
free. We give to her, we guilt to him. We deal about
-
the we have we seen tonight. Size
