I fell at His feet because: - Bro Jeremy Howell 3-31-2024

Got with you chapter number seventeen. We'll be reading verses number four through seven,

Brother Nathaniel, Brother Jesse mark chapter number five, you'll be reading verse

number twenty two. Brother Caleb. Luke, chapter number seventeen, you'll be

reading verse number sixteen. And beloved Bethel, well, you turn with me

to the Book of Revelation. Had direct your attention to the first chapter and

the seventeenth verse. Brother Jesse, howell, you were all over this this

morning, because we will be reading the seventeenth and eighteenth verses. All right,

brother Caleb, but you read that Luke chapter number seventeen and verse number

sixteen and fell down on his face at his feet giving him things. And

he was a Samaritan and fell down at his feet giving thanks. Some people

fall down at the man of God's feet or at defeated Jesus, just because

they're greatfam but what the Lord has done for them? All right, Brother

Jesse, mark chapter number five and verse number twenty two. And behold there

cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jurious by name, And when

he saw him, he fell at his feet. This man was in great

need. Some people fall at the feet of God or God's man, because

they are overwhelmed. I've had this message for several days. Brother Nathaniel Matthew,

chapter number seventeen, verses number four through seven then answered Peter and said,

on the Jesus Lord, it is good for us to be here.

If that will, let us make your three tabernacles, one for thee and

one for Moses, and one for Elias. While he yet spake, behold

it, cloud overshadowed them. And behold it voice out of the cloud,

which said, this is my beloved son, and whom I am well pleased.

Hear ye him. And when the disciples heard it, they fell on

their faces and were sore afraid. And Jesus came and touched them and said,

arise and be not afraid. These men fell at the feet of Jesus

not because they were overwhelmed, but because they had been overpowered and overshadowed.

Let's stand for the reading of our text tonight again. Mad direct your attention

to Revelation chapter number one, verse number seventeen. The Bible says that when

I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead, and he laid

his right hand upon me, saying, unto me, fear naw I am

the first and the last. I am he that liveth and was dead.

And behold I am alive forevermore. Amen, and have the keys of hell

and of death. May we pray, Heavenly Father, we thank you so

much for the opportunity to be in your house this Sunday night. Lord,

we weren't too busy this afternoon or evening together together once again on this precious

day, as we have celebrated your resurrection. We pray that you would annoyt

this thy people. Set a guard at their ears and help them to hear

that that you would have them to hear. Lord, set a guard at

my mouth, and help me to say the things that you would have me

to say. Nothing more or less. I pray that these sayings would go

below the shoulders and saturate the very beings of these individuals. Lord, help

them not to be hearers only, but doers. I prayed that they would

depart this place joyfully and not sorromply. In the name of Jesus, we

prayed, And the church says, Amen, as you're being seated, say

hey, neighbor, have you fallen at his feed? Let's read verses number

seventeen and eighteen again, the Bible said, and when I saw him,

I fell at his feet as dead, and he laid his right hand upon

me, saying, unto me, fear not, I am the first and

the last. I am he that liveth and was dead. And behold,

I'm alive forevermore. Amen, and have the keys of hell and of death.

Our text is found in a New Testament book of the Holy Bible,

the Book of Revelation. When I was a child, the writings of this

particular book of the Bible, they frightened me. I remember when the preacher

would take a text from this book of the Bible. I was horrified.

Immediately my night was ruined. But I soon discovered that this is a very

important book for the believer to read, to hear people preach out off to

her, hear lessons talk out of this book of the Bible. I know

that the man that hears the words of this book is a blessed man as

well as the one that keeps the sayings of this particular book of the Bible.

So I learned that even though this is the book of the Apocalypse,

that it is not a book to be avoided. I soon discovered that this

is the most debated book of the Bible. As a young man, I

heard preachers debating one with another could concerning the coming of the Lord. Some

described themselves as a pre tribulationist, while others said, I believe his coming

will come in the middle of the tribulation, while others boldly proclaimed that they

were pros trill saints. I am sick and tired of people spending countless hours

debating things of this nature. You may or may not know how I believe

own things concerning the end times, but that is really neither here nor there.

The most important thing is you being ready when the Lord comes again for

his people or his bride. I've seen great fellowships of holy brethren divided after

some man who read the writings of another mortal peace. I have seen relationships

and friendships severed because people began to read behind men that were of a certain

persuasion. And I knew that these men had not entered into their belief system

through prayer and fasting and studying diligently the word of God. I knew that

they had not prayed earnestly concerning in time events. And I quickly realized that

these men really and truly were inaccurate in their opinion regarding the end of time.

But nevertheless, I fell in love with this book of the Bible.

And it was four or five weeks ago I instructed our adult Sunday school class

teacher, the Reverend Brother Justin Roqua, to teach on the Seven Churches of

Asia. And oh, what a good time we have as we have studied

all these seven churches of Asia. I know that you as a people and

corporately you have been blessed as you've heard your Sunnish school teacher teach about these

specific churches. I know that each church has related to you in some way.

I know that you've seen some forms of godliness and some fashions concerning your

worship and service to God in relation to what you have read about concerning these

churches. And I know that whenever I began to read this Bible for myself

at the age of seventeen, and I've been a student of the book ever

since, I know that you have to look at things as they appear.

You have to believe the Bible for what it says. There is no private

interpretation, and that you gotta be careful going and buying this so called left

Behind series that was offered by Tim Lahay and Jerry Chekins. I feel like

those guys were way off basic when they begin to pin the writings of that

series. I've told people before, you better be careful when you read of

the writings of those particular men. You better focus on them. The writings

of John, they're in the Book of Revelation. Her on the writings of

her the prophet Daniel, they're in the Book of Daniel. You better studied

the prophecies that have found that were written by her, the prophet Ezekiel.

I've seen too many men spent counting us her hours debating on this and debating

on that, only read another book full of some man's opinion, some man

that was missing some very important details. Some man he that was missing pertinent

details of an information that was power in the word of God. An example

that I will proceed to you of this, sir, And how easily this

can happen. You've heard a lot of preachers. Let's say this, and

it has been written to and the Book of Revelation is the revelation of her

John Man. John was not to the revelator who have heard songwriters and pit

mericks and go like this and talking about John the revelator. Chard was not

the revelator Andy. John did not give her this retilation. This book should

be more. I could be called her the revelation of Jesus Christ. I

let that's a little people know what some of you are wanting to here tonight,

and I know that we need to go out to the fellowship. Paul

here Voverterry that I have another dinner and a breaking bad session that I feel

like telling somebody here tonight. You can be a student of this book and

forget about being a student of all of this on apropetical literature, I've seen

people lose their minds, lose their sanity, and lose their their resting as

they've read behind her of their offers that will not to Clyde green upon authors.

The author's are this bok of the Bible being the words so I start

who Regost moved upon them and the unco breathe where God inspired her words?

Tonight. I do know that Christ definitely didn't want to reveal some things to

us. He revealed himself first to John. In this instance, we find

that this book is in our hands tonight meeting this book of revelation. Because

John had a personal relationship and a personal and private encounter with the Lord.

This had not been his first experience or encounter with the Lord. Now,

brother cheer in my asshole. The Lord began to unfold and unveiled mysterious things

to John. John realized her there are some things for us us to know,

and there are some things for us to never know. You will remember

her that one time Peter tried to meddle in the affairs of charm and she

used the sin I know that our proper side her concerning your demise and death.

And I know that I've left her a little bit of think about what

would have happened to Chard. But that's smiting her business. And if I

will that he tarries her until I tell her what has got to live.

And a lot of preachers say, over look, it's very important detail.

The Lord did come, he did come again. He did present him supper

to Chard. What's more, why Chard had been banished to the all of

Patiser. The Lord did her peer to Chard her. What's more, all

the value of having an intimate relationship with the Lord, having a personal encounter

and experience with the Lord is a very, very valuable thing for the child

of God, because if you have not had a personal encounter and an experience

with the Lord, you will not stand strong in the time of adversity.

They're in the evil day. I need to cut this short. You see,

this man Jesus had given his life for this man John. He had

given us life for all of the people with their humanity. I believe that

he did it that we might live for eternally. If you're going to live

for eternally, you must love him individually. That's better. Another thing your

set tonight. It is so good to see you in the House of God

worshiping her Lord trepidly. But are you worshiping her him individually? Who weren't

praising him personally? You see, John was different amongst all the other brother

he calls her. He just wanted to be closer to choose or Yes,

there they were almost as closer, and there were ain't nothing nearly as conser

as the others. Look, brother, you remind John nu, I've got

to get closer. You do to get cunser I'm talking to somebody, then

you're problem else. We are not yet had not counter we are for the

Lord. That's why the son of the way you do. That's why you

don't give them more earnest heed to the things that you have heard. And

that's why they slipped out of your grasp because you, oh nothing, my

sister who loves him, You don't see him for who he is. A

sister Howell sees him for who he is. You do not see him as

a personal being, as somebody that loves you and conditionally as a prian mistakes

closer than any brother. I'm telling somebody I want to preach to you tonight

that a certainly that the Holy against titled he I feel at his feta because

her holy? Why are you following her at the feeta? Oh Jesus,

is it becauser? You've been overwhelmed. Our brother Red had some contest to

us. Say tonight, our people the fell at the feed of Jesus,

and the representative say, o Jesus because her they we're overwhelmed. He is

certainly a good thing to do today in this house. When you feel overwheled,

that's right, cry out to God, lead me to the rock and

t then I then what I want you to know is you need the God

to him. They're calling us feet because you get overshadowed, not because you

get overwhell old you took your supor what about. I've seen a lot of

people suffer tragedy physically in their health, their spirits a health crisis, and

they must go to church and they fall in the altar or they collapse out

of speech because they've been overwhelmed. I'm thinking of a young couple that have

bachla o God that it went far away from the presence of the Lord.

And on the now eleven two thousand and one, whenever the terrorists took out

the World Trade centers, they saw what was taking place on their television and

they said, we had been raised on school, old time holiness, and

they went to church through fear and they prayed back through the salvation because they

were overwhelmed by what they were spiritual, by what they were witnessing. That

is good, but I've heard of other people losing out with cod because her

they came because they were overwhelmed. You see, it happened time and again,

the trunk out it comes to church because their Rabi. There's a lot

of supporter in the New Law and they're at the county hospital, and they

don't go to the corner to end up doing an autopsy at the county more

on the county, more nother, Jessy. They've come because they've been overwhelmed.

If they'd have been overshadled and over kile, they have what they needed

to stay in the presence of God. You all seen it so many people

in the Bible. They fell at the feeding Jesus and they said, honey,

mercy. And there were other people that returned and they fell at his

feet because they were grateful, very thankful. One of the ten lepers returned

to give him thanks. We read in the Bible of old and Old Testament

and the New Testament of men and women that fell down at the feet of

those. And brother Philip, you didn't know what I would be preaching on

that. You talked about that woman she fell at the feet of the Man

of God, and she said, why, oh, why did you give

me this pressing? And if God was going to take it, why didn't

you pray this pressing on me? Then God was going to remove it.

There's countless reasons for why he per fall at his feet. And I'm talking

about that. I feel her at his feet, because why did you fall

at his feet? Why are you falling even now after their feet? What

is the moted? What is the reason that isn't all about you and what

you mean? There is a all about being up here and being in the

cylind o God's we over. I'm telling you that there's a been different.

So to follow out a feecut when we've been overshadowed and over telling there the

Father, when we've been overwhelmed. We preached this morning a serve of entitled

underestimating what's underneath? If I'm not mistaken, our tech was found in Saint

John's gospel. Well, he is the author of this book of the Bible

too. Isn't that interesting? The Bible readers or students among us do not

know that John gave this description of himself, the disciple who the Lord Jesus

loved multiple times? Is gospel? Do you find the author of this gospel

the book of John saying the disciple who Jesus loved apparently a dently. His

relationship with Jesus was admirable and note worthy. What about your relationship with your

spouse? Is it admirable and is it noteworthy? Since the howl was set

to night. I'm married my best friend that we didn't married for some of

the reasons. Other people marry for it. We marry our best priend.

That come on, now, I hope, dear God, they're all of

the couples in this field. It you married your best friend. If they're

not your best friend, you better get through working on that relationship. I

say, will. There's a lot of people. They enter a relationship with

Jesus for all of the wrong reasons. There's a lot of men entering a

relationship with a woman because of the wrong reasons. And for the children's sake,

we will not go into it. Why they would do those things For

John, He's simply said, I don't have to give my name, but

when I give the description, you will know my identity. They come on,

the other people in town, do they know you? That's that person

that despises the spirit of the world. And you love Jesus. Will you

be found singing on the job and singing at home and singing at church.

Take this whole world, but get their cheese. There's people in this field

and they love him enough to die for him. How about you? He

loved you enough to die for you to or why is it a struggle?

Take me up for him? If you love it the way you rock,

I love it, you know what? Not kind of problem? Why love

that turn here? I don't like that kind of preaching, that's all right.

I don't like Budwiser either. I don't like that kind of preaching,

that's all right. I don't like sucking on cigarettes. How come I gotsat

eve? I don't like that kind of preaching. That's all right. That's

your choice. Hallo, lock dry preaching ether Hallo not not annoying it preaching

either. It's your choice. I'm not saying this is the only way of

preaching. We haven't knowing him. But I'm telling you you better love whatever

it is you're doing. You better love God. You gotta love a will

of God. You gotta be looking that change it differently that hell you're looking

at him. This relationship between John and Jesus was a marble and no worthy.

He treasured the time he spent with his Lord. Have you ever allowed

a person to become a distraction in your conversation with a good family member?

I know the other night when that man was attempting to hijack my vehicle and

pull me out. Brother Samuel's contra sation was interrupted abruptly. But you know

what, after a couple of days, I remembered we had not finished that

very important conversation. Then I said, son, let's finish that conversation.

There's some of you. You've got some catching up to do, and you've

got some following up to do with Jesus. He's trying to call to you

in a week after week of revival, after exhortation, upon advitiement of post

sermon upon preacher upon preacher. He's trying to pick it under you. I

said, in your sister, WoT, I said, a youth fello Nathaniel

Man, I said, A you, sister staring. He's trying to call

you in the company with him. He's trying to call you in the communication

with him and walk in the world. Here's wrong with you? Well,

I'm gonna wait to follow his feet until what I'm a more convenient time.

Whenever I need him, I'll just call Spiritual nine one one, and I'll

ask this patch to send a heavenly angel by my way and to overthrow all

the demonic beings that I've been playing and toy him with and I'll get my

help from my Lord when I am overwhelmed this man John brother Nathaniel. He

just couldn't get close enough. Y'all know, Peter, James and John were

known to be mighty close with the Lord. If he was having prayer meeting,

they were gonna be there. They might not have been able to pray

for an hour sometimes because of the spiritual conflict that they were enduring, because

they were not yet spirit feeling, but you know what, they were at

least trying to stay as close as they couldn't to Jesus. And according to

the scripture, there was another eight down there by the gate, just hanging

out. But I want you to know John was one. It wanted to

catch him every word that left the lips of the Master. Are you listening

to me? You can tell when people are preaching. You can tell when

people know and love her Bible. You can tell when people love her telling

the church. They will not cancel church there in Eastern a Haka because they

loved cot more than they love for Eastern body. Hot not keep your own

You're Easter egg hunts up. So when you canceled churchill because you're way out.

Hay Head and her Easter egg hung on Sunday? Who said, had

it on Saturday and don't go on the treasure time spent with his Lord.

Sometimes that's what couples do. They say, we just need to get away

and have some US time. They listen, moms and dads, the people,

boys and girls, the elders. Are you having some US time with

Jesus? Are you having that Bible before breakfast time? Are you having more

than just a little talk with Jesus when you feel overwhelmed? I appreciate paste

coming ninety two. I've seen the Holy Ghost move in affirmation of what the

songwriter wrote. Just a little talk which Jesus will make it right, it'll

fix it. But I have found there's been times it's taking a LinkedIn conversation

of falling at his feet and change in my posture. That's something you don't

hear a lot about anymore. The old timers is to tell the future clear

warriors. Don't you get comfortable? Can you pray? Because as soon as

you get comfortable, you're gonna find yourself being distracted. You're gonna find yourself.

Don't treat it. You're gonna find yourself samp thing off. Oh yes,

sir, There's been times I pulled a pillow out from under my knees

and felt the twll for on my knee. Cats Me calls, hey,

I knew that pillow. It's gonna cause my prayer to be hinder What about

it? Nothing between my soul and my savior. Do you care about the

words that are leaving the lips of the Master. It's no wonder the Lord

chose him to reveal himself too in this manner. So many years later,

sister Cheryl, I just remembered you like to read the Book of Revelation.

It is so good to know that you've been converted and no longer feel spiritual

conflict. When your pastor says, turned with me to the Book of the

Revelation. You see, John was able to receive this revelation of Jesus Christ

becalls him. He was the only disciple to have a normal death. Now,

according to history and to evil dictators and kings, her tried to take

his life in such crew manners that you cannot imagine. When a story said

they tried to bull her Chod in oil, and they were unsuccessful. They

successful, They executed the other disciples, but they were unable to destroying child.

I wouldn't be Why could it have been? Because her? Of his

relationship with his Lord. He had more than a little talk when Jeanesus,

he hadn't quite up anyone wit he talks of historian say, they would praying,

Hide would pray her. He would pray for a while. After a

while they looked up on his kneecats, he who had become mal forward.

They had become mal forward because her of his posture and prayer. He wasn't

laying on the side of the time. He wasn't laying her on this spellion

things goes an opera. He was paying sometimes six or eight hours a day.

The medical position said upon his death, and his heart had shifted and

it changed positions Becauseul of his prayer life. Oh my God, or you

changing positionence? If you call her on his feet, becaus you overwhelmed her

Lord had one position. But if we're falling his feet Becauseul, we've been

overshadowed and overpower. You don't have her another persistent I hope that's not going

over your head. But if you ever get in the spirit of God,

as brother Jesse said, and you get in the floor, and then scriptures

start rolling, and that spirit starts making intercession. You know you have a

different position with the Lord. I won't say this again. It's no wonder

that God chose John to linked in his days. The Bible said, children,

obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. That's also

one of the commandments with promise. It promises us lenked of days if we

are obedient to our parents. Or you'll listening here that night, I know

we're about to have something good to eat. Just carry with me just a

little while. Should I keep preaching us? Should we don't get some need?

You see this man John, he was preserved in life in order for

him to end up being on the all of patness. And he got in

the spirit on the Lord's day and he experenced this unveiling of Jesus Christ.

I remember brother Roy Dampier used to drive from Late Placid down here, and

he did that for several several years. Sister, you will remember one particular

he came into the storefront and he was literally shining. You could see his

hair sparkling. I thought, behind this man's never, ladies, usually about

an hour early, and usually he wants to talk to the pastor, and

knowing I have to preacher, and here he's coming the back door and he's

just glittering. Hey, Ed had put glitter in his hair. Likes some

girl that guy's do. Today he had a wreck on the way to church

and his vehicle went down in the ditch. Down here South Florida. We

got canals. We don't have them little be easily tiny ditches like you see

in the Carolinas or in Tennessee. We've got canals. He said, preacher,

that Lincoln Continental was off in that canal. And when I climbed out

of the canal, oh you could see was a tail lights sticking up.

I laughed, and I laughter, and brother, we laughed at During the

service he pulled the blast sharks out a brother, Roy Damper's hair. I

tell it right, sister, where there's anybody else remembering thatswer Oh. That

man was probably in US mid eighties, but that did not keep him her

from making his father to the House from God. He may not have been

perfect, don't tell me any different. But I didn't know that the man

loved his cheese and faith. And I couldn't borrow her. The man loved

his post. And if you really loves somebody who just asked her a woman

this tacta a sonsier boy, some man over there in Takistan Afgnistan, look

in Taklestan. They will get to them if they can. No matter the

hardship, not a new pipericlking came here. Come to him. Amen.

This man came to church. That man was special to our church family.

That man was very special to me. John was to Jesus. The term

that the world uses is endearment. Endearment is a word or phrase used to

describe a person for which the speaker feels love. I think Jesus loved John,

and John loved Jesus. I love that man Royd Deppear and he loved

me. How many of him know that your brothers and sisters in this fielding

they love you. But the most important thing for you is that you have

a personal experience with Jesus. Let's think about our Golden text again, in

Revelation one at seventeen and cent when I saw him, I fell at his

feet as dead, and he laid his right hand upon me, saying,

unto me, fear not I am the first and I am the last of

I am here at Lertica and what's dead, And behold, I'm alive forevermore.

Amen, and have the keys of hell and dead. This last passage

a scripture describes her that John had a personal encounter with Jesus, and Jesus

stated that he is the first and the last. I want you to know

that John saw Jesus has his first lover and his last love. It was

said in this book, I have someone against her because her you have loved

your personal love. I'm talking to somebody tonight. You're waiting until her to

paul his people? Why not do now? Hell, I'm preaching over I

fall at his feet because I have been overshadowed and overpowered. Some of you

have fallen fell at his feet because you have been overwhelmed. There's a big

difference, is a very very big difference. I want to say that this

was God John's first encounter with the Lord, and it wouldn't be his last

experience either. To night, as you all were shouting and worshiping in praising

the Lord, I saw y'all have another encounter with a master, yet another

experience with the Lord. Things had changed in the Master's life since John last

saw him. John's life had changed since he had last saw Jesus. At

this encounter, John saw him. This time he fell at his feet as

dead at the amount of transfiguration. They did fall on their faces, those

three precious men of God, Peter, James, and John had fallen upon

their face. But this time they seen him in a way that they knew

he was. They knew he was the first and the last. They knew

he was the author and the finisher of their faith. But now, Brother

Nathaniel, faith terminades, expires or ends in sight. Now I see him

for myself. Now I see him as he is. While the Lord was

upon this earth, John had seen him thousands of times, tens of thousands

of times, during the Lord's three and a half years of ministry. After

the Lord called James and John, the sons of thundered to follow him,

follow him. They had witnessed him. They had saw him agonized in prayer.

They had witnessed the Lord being enveloped by the spirit of the wilderness.

They had seen the Lord exercise his authority over devils. They saw the Lord

transpari. However, this time, at this encounter it was different. There's

some in this building right now daydreaming. There's some right now thinking on the

Easter Bunny or something. Nay, maybe not. There's some right now not

even thinking about I must tell Jesus all of my troubles. I must get

to Jesus. It's good to go to Jesus when you're overwhelmed. That's right.

Lead me to the rock that is higher than I. Oh. Yes,

quote that. Encourage yourself to the Lord. But it's another thing to

get into his presence like you all did tonight. As the Youth choir was

singing, and as the quartet was singing, are y'all starting to get the

picture of what I'm talking about. There's some people in this building. Your

problem is you have not yet had a really deep experience with the Lord.

You have not had this great encounter this. Some have been experienceerience that John

had experienced. Let that sink in. Have you ever been overpowered by the

presence of the glory of the Lord. I've seen these spirit filled believers.

The Holy Ghost in dwells in them, and I've seen it when the Holy

ghosts ushers them into the Throne Room of God seemingly and they get into the

presence of the Lord, and you see their posture begin to change. It's

one thing to come into the building and in corporate worship we begin to worship

and praise the Lord in harmony and in the spirit of unity. That is

wonderful. We know the positions and we know the postures to take. When

we're seeing, we know to stand, and we know to clap our hands.

When we're praying, we know to bout our heads and bend our knees.

But whenever you get in the presence of God, God will change your

posture. You might have been worshiping Him in spirit and truth in the company

of other believers a little while ago. But if you will get overshadowed and

overpowered tonight by His power and his glory, whether that happens in this building,

in the alt of service that happens momentarily, or whether it happens over

there in fire forest tomorrow or in your house, if you will see to

it that you personally have an encounter with the Lord of this nature, and

you can, you will never be the same. You may get happy,

and you may take a lap around the church, but are you doing it

because you've been overwhelmed, and you need to run through a troop and you

need to leap overwhelm. Are you doing it because you've been overpowered and overshadowed

until you collapse at his feet and rolled in his glory. This verse of

scripture tells me that I can pray, praise, and worship him until I

get an audience with him, and it will transfer transformed by posture. Why

does it transform a person's posture because they find themselves in the right position with

a master? Brother, Jesse, how will you knew you had an audience

with a king as he began to whisper into your heart of his newness,

glorious attributes. You'll know you're in a right position with a king. After

you have an encounter and you see him for how holy he is, you'll

know and you will no longer have a struggle at all with serving God in

the beauty of holiness. After you get caught up in his holiness, you

will become captivated by his holiness, and you will do everything you can not

to displease his holiness. The Lord made himself very real unto John, and

I feel our sister Wooding and Sister, how old there's some people in this

building. The reason why they're unchanged is because they have tasted, but they

have not went back for another taste. Even Jacob of Old had had an

experience, and he said, I must go back to Bethel, and we

must sanctify our self family, including removing the jewelry off of our persons.

Will bury it over here to oak sheepher, and we must have another encounter.

Jod revealed to the Lord his love in Jesus in returned Reville, and

to John himself as he is. I know who he is. He's King

of kings and Lord of Lord, Brother Jesse. When you come to the

piano tonight, would you pray about whatever it is y'all had seen, Sinster.

We've been churching down here now sixteen or seventeen years. We've preached,

we've fooled, we've pushed, we've pried as in led of the Lord to

do so. And I believe God has honored the labors of love of these

elders, these teachers and preachers, and impersonated what until we gets you to

understand whom you must see the King. There's a song that goes like this,

take me to the King. You know why John had such an experience

later in life, because early in life he wanted to be close to Jesus.

How about it, a you want to warn yourself by the world's fire.

Are you wanting to hump nob with the people of this world? Or

is pleasing him all that matters? All along? All that mattered, But

John was pleasing the Lord. And I do feel liberty in my heart.

And there's some of you that aren't spirit filled. The Holy Ghost does not

endwell in your vessel. You don't need to be thinking about that dessert out

there on that table. And if you get in his presence and have the

right encounter with him, the desserts can rot. You're getting in them.

The world stops spinning. You don't want church to end that night, Brother

Philip or Brother Sam. You got the Holy Ghost that they were in the

spirit out there in the churchyard for what seemed like two and a half to

four hours? How long was it hours? It was wonderful. They were

lost in the presence of the Holy Ghost. I think we could have said,

Brother Gabriel, cheeseburger, cheeseburger, cheeseburger, and they have said Jesus,

Jesus Jesus. I'm not here to beat you up tonight. I'm here

to tell you I have trained through your issue, and I understand what it

is. The problem is you don't care anything about having an encounter with the

King, and you only use him from what you can get. When I'm

overwhelmed, I fall at his feet again. Point number one is we're all

standing. I fell at his feet because I was overwhelmed. Would be the

testimony of some point number two. John would give this testimony, Brother d

I fell at his feet because I was overpowered by his majesty. I was

overpowered by his glory. How many of you have ever been in his presence

in such a way that you felt like you were being taken away from this

world and literally being ushered by the spirit of God into the very throne room

of the Lord. Has it been a while? Do you miss it?

Do you miss it? I'm sure John missed it. And when Jesus showed

up and finally he had saw it many times he saw when he was transfigured,

when he was transported, But this time, Brother Jonathan, the only

response was he fell on his face as dead. Cardinality will no longer be

a problem where you served, ma'am, those little things, the little foxes

that are destroying divine that should be bringing forth fruit in your life, and

the gifts and the fruits and the spirit, the little foxes. You'll forget

about the little foxes. What seems like mountains right now will become mole hills.

Our old sense that somebody in this building is getting it tonight, when

getting in his presence is all that matters. You forget about being on Factmos.

You forget about the banishment, You forget about the persecution, You forget

about the problems. You forget about all the other criminals that are on the

island. You forget about the rough living conditions. Falling dead would not have

been a wise thing to do where God fearing man has been living on an

island inhabited by criminals. But if their brother Jerebidy in his presence, I'm

safe and security. Do you know why brother how and sister Howard's lost pre

spared the other night when trouble came looking for us, Because the night before,

we told you all before we dismiss service, we had been troubled through

the night, and what that was Our Master kept waking us up and he

kept saying, see talk to me. I'm going to lead you into green

pastures. I'm going to lead you besides still waters. I wonder what would

have happened Brother Philip and dad Mom had not had the encounters that we had

the night before. I would say that we wouldn't be here preaching. Our

witness has said they saw that man throw either an after a gun in the

place. Take me to the King. I was in his presence seventeen years

old in October of nineteen ninety two. The service got down about how it

is right now, conviction settling in a decision to be made. All of

service begins. The altars were open, and I knew I needed to walk

up there. Not just because he's open. You all through this the routine

or the thing to do, or I move well because something going on at

the job or discording the family, or I lost my best friend or my

dog got sitting, not because I was overwhelmed. I just came to him

and literally a glory cloud enveloped me, and I remember just melting and falling

to my knees, and I got lost in his presence. About twenty five

minutes later, I got carried further away, and I found myself throwing nigh

to God, brother Philip, and he was drawing nigh to me. I

guess about an hour after that, I remember going through to the baptism of

the Holy Ghosts. And when I went home that night, when I opened

my bedroom door, I heard these words breathed, not the spirit quenched out

the Holy Ghost. I got rapped back down on my knees and got rapped

back in his present. That's why your pastor's the man he is today when

the Holy ghost gets to move him, or take my hands off, because

I know what is said tonight, he filled me. I feel like this

somebody getting hold of this tonight. Years ago when I was a new convert

and I was having difficulty staying focused while training, and I heard an old

preacher say that he started to have it, but putting a chair beside him

and saying, Jesus, I invite you to sit here vegetary a while.

When I talked to him, he said, he kneel down right beside him,

very reverent there respectfully, and he talked to him for twenty minutes that

he listened for five talked to him, listened to him. He said,

don't talk him to stay focused because he'd realized that Jesus is omnipresent and Jesus

is right there. But he says something about having that chair there helped him

stay focused. That is always going to be those people that feel like it's

just a proper thing to do that they must do what the pastor said.

Sometimes I think it's an attention don't and a distracting dimple. And so when

pastoral wisdom after all these years, I'm going to manage that. And I

didn't have to say all that, but I'm teaching the future generation, and

some people don't like it when I give you that. For Nasis, I

want to get these other two chairs and put them at the front, because

there's gonna be somebody that's gonna come up here that doesn't need to come here.

But if there's somebody you know you need a very real encounter with Jesus,

he will meet you here at night. Now's your chance. Will you

come? Is this somebody that will come kneel into chairs say I know what

I need. You can be fooling the Holy Ghost of saying I know I

need another touch, I need another encounters, I need another experience, because

there's some others. We've got two milli chi's some others. Maybe we're out

of chairs. Now you just need to kneel at the altar at the platform.

Once you say bored, I mean whatever it takes to get to Jesus.

I need Jesus, say cod I tell this stud because I was all

for plows, cheese and old a shadow, pigs bored or from bos Oh

the world just want church for me overall on me sweating here and say I

would walk. I would run right Jesus, I'm feeling because okay, he

was comfortable and drive in the boat that sawy nine. When Peter saw the

Lord out on the sea, he said, Lord, you're not that far.

Let me come to where you are. As stepped out of the boats

me whatver rechage again to Jesus. Are just want tusk for me? Throw

me to and say come, I would not belong to Jesus. The Lord

days against dies just for tu been for all to me. You hear in

say I would love love round to get Jesus. Ver taste to get to

Jesus. Just want to be a good broad to you here and say come,

I walk to get to Jesus. Maybe you can't sit down that road,

And what are you being god on leaving no? The hoop inside your

heart is all well, friend, I have good news. Hoop is reaching

out to you. He's right here in this room. Don't let it pass

you buy tover taste against Jesus. Just more touch will be the raw.

So when you hear it, say wall by rot, Jesus, take me

to the keys. Uster Hardstor said, it's my lelong the keys upon your

good change. So take meat calls it says a week, no streets to

fly, no change to rise, even if I try, but still bustle

refuses to die. Want will change, taking meat and the key a doll,

have much degree, A long shorty pieces. It's my baby at the

car. Leave me to gain the moll your b see this song, take

me to the gay. I don't have much to breath A hard shorty pieces,

it's my blame me at the door. Believe me there will to gain

the mod your love seeing this long me thro the day. These games made

for the people, as to Lord speak, ride ladies fall and rain.

We're dispreed. We're chasing that dream. No rules, no religion. I

may my decision to leave you the oh take me to the king. I

don't have much to break a horns horned pieces, it's my brain. Leave

me at the brown, leave me there alone? The game, the bond,

the scene, this dee sais the king? What about these space?
