-
Message the Holy Ghost title the Five Eyes of Satan. Brother Samuel, stand
-
up real quick. I know you're watching your baby girl. Could y'all imagine
-
if this guy had five eyes like those eyes on that big head. How
-
intimidating that would be? The five Eyes of Satan. I am not talking
-
about that part of the body that allows us to see things. I'm talking
-
about the letter I. If you have your Bible, will you turn with
-
me to the Book of Isaiah. Mad Director attention to the fourteenth chapter.
-
We will be reading the verses numbers twelve through fourteen. Brother Nathaniel James,
-
chapter number four, verse number fifteen, Brother Jesse Luke, chapter number twenty
-
two, and verse number forty two. I want to say, I think
-
God for every preacher in this building. I thank the Lord for every teacher
-
in this sanctuary that taught the word of God today. We are most appreciative
-
for those lessons that you will taught. All of the testimonies that we heard
-
tonight, Sister Pampatulo's testimony of God bringing her daughter out of that critical state,
-
I'm thankful for that. Brother Wallace's testimony of how the Lord helped him
-
stay out of trouble with his employer because of a mistake that he had made
-
unintentionally. All of this has been food from my soul. Brother Nathaniel James,
-
chapter number four and verse number fifteen, Please sir, for the that
-
he ought to say, if the Lord will, we shall live and do
-
this or that. So we ought to say, if the Lord will,
-
I will do this or I will do that. And of course I'm paraphrasing
-
brother Jesse Luke chapter number twenty two and verse number forty two, saying,
-
Father, if thou be willing remove this cup from me, nevertheless, not
-
my will, but thine be done. Let's stand for the reading of our
-
golden text. How many of you heard the verse of scripture that brother Jesse
-
just read. Jesus himself said, not my will, father, but thine
-
be done. Isaiah chapter number fourteen, Verses number twelve through fourteen. The
-
Bible said, how art thou falling from heaven, Old Lucifer, son of
-
the Morning, how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken
-
the nations? For thou hast set in nine heart. I will as sind
-
into heaven. I will exalt my throne above the stars of God, I
-
will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the
-
north, a sin above the heights of the clouds. I will be locked
-
the most time, yet thou shalt be brought down to Hell to the sides
-
of the pit. May we pray, Heavenly Father, we love and we
-
praise you. We thank you for the opportunity to be in the house of
-
the Lord. I pray that you would annoyt this thy servants, stead of
-
guard in my mouth, and help me to say the things that you would
-
have me to say, nothing more, nothing less. Anoint the ears of
-
this thy people, that they might hear what it is the spirit of God
-
saith to the church tonight. Annoyt us, we pray, Lord, the
-
people that are in this building are precious. If you know exactly what each
-
and every one of him need. May the words that God go below the
-
shoulders. May they saturate the spirit and the soul of each person. I
-
pray that we would not hear only but that we would heed what it is
-
the Spirit saith under this church tonight. And may we depart this place joyfully
-
and not sorrowfully. In Jesus' name, Amen, As you're being seen to
-
say, hey, neighbor, is Satan ugly or beautiful? There was a
-
time in Satan's existence that he was extremely beautiful. Our text is found in
-
an Old Testament book of the Holy Bible, the Book of Isaiah. This
-
book is a very large prophetic book. Is evident for the readers of this
-
sacred writing to see that the prophet Isaiah was very busy with his prophetic ministry.
-
How many in this building tonight are thankful for a busy pastor how many
-
if you all are thankful that you have preachers that keep busy, and that
-
they work jobs and they provide for their own Not only do they provide for
-
their own families financially, they are the priests of their own house, and
-
they provide for them spiritually. This prophet Isaiah was one that was not hesitant
-
nor reluctant to provide for his nation. When God called his number, he
-
answered the call, and Brother Nathaniel, he was obedient to that calling.
-
And we find that he received numerous visions of the Lord and told people of
-
pending doom and damn nation that was coming upon their nation because of their disobedience
-
to the Lord. The son of Amos knew the Lord on a greater level.
-
How many of you can say that in the last year you have grown
-
in God. How many can say I've experienced great grace and great power that
-
I thought was not available to a person as lowly as I. I can
-
say that I have received great grace and goodness and power from God that I
-
did not thought could be tapped by mere mortals such as I. But I
-
am thankful for the availability of us being able to make contact with the Lord.
-
And so Isaiah was a humble servant. He states this when he says
-
that he is the son of Amos. So this man knew the Lord at
-
a greater level than most of the contemporaries and the peers that were throughout the
-
land of Israel. He understood the true meaning of life is that every person
-
who serves the Lord ought to worship him in spirit and in truth. When
-
we first moved down here, one of the deacons and elders of this local
-
congregation, he would say often that God is a spirit and they that worship
-
him must worship him in spirit and in truth. Brother Johnny Platt was that
-
man, and he would put an emphasis on that we maintained the truth in
-
the inward parts, and that we also promoted and preached truth. Have noted
-
that a lot of churches today are not hesitant at all to worship the Lord,
-
but they do not have truth active in their life. This man,
-
Isaiah knew that the people of God must have their lives centered on God.
-
How many in this building tonight could show, by the raising of the hand
-
and say that my God is the center of my life. If your self
-
will is the center of your life, then you've got a problem. And
-
I'm going to preach to you tonight. If you could say without hesitation that
-
I have a tendency to be selfish rather than selfless, that I'm going to
-
preach to you tonight. What the Lord put on my heart this afternoon to
-
preach to you, I've heard it sent my sister Iris Woot, which is
-
one of the elder sisters of our church. For many years, she has
-
said, pleasing the Lord is all that matters. I don't feel like every
-
person in this building is bent towards pleasing themselves, but I do feel like
-
we've got a handful that would rather please themselves than please the Lord. And
-
we want to dissect this dead corpse right here tonight, and find out why
-
there is no life in your spirit, and why there is no fire in
-
your bones, and while there's no fire in your eyes. Because if the
-
Lord is standing center stage of your life, and if the Lord is in
-
the throll room of your heart, the King of Glory has walked through those
-
ever lasting doorways of those everlasting souls, and the King of Glory is living
-
inside of those that have him in residency. There. In Isaiah, chapter
-
number forty eight, verse number eleven, the great Prophet Isaiah wrote these words.
-
We find him saying, the reason for the Lord dealing with the hearts
-
of mere mortal is this, And this is God speaking to the Prophet Isaiah.
-
He said, for my own sake, even for my own sake,
-
will I do it? For how should my name be polluted? And I
-
will not give my glory unto an author. Now that the Lord is sitting
-
in the throne room of your heart, then you will have no problem at
-
all letting him arraign. The Bible said that the Lord are powerful, or
-
the Lord omnipotent reign. And I feel like there are people in this building
-
tonight that could say without a doubt I understand the lordship of Christ. That
-
is a doctrine that has much overlooked today. Very few people within Christendom,
-
or within modern Christianity, or within Christian society at large, they do not
-
understand the doctrine of the lordship of Christ. How many of you know that
-
the Bible will send it at some point, every need will bow and every
-
tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. You can bow now or you
-
can burn later. You can bow now or you can bow later. You
-
can burn now or you can burn later. I feel I can be important
-
for us to be obedient to the spirit of the Lord tonight and allow the
-
King of Glory to walk through the doorway of these everlasting hearts. The Lord
-
is doing everything for his own glory, including fashioning mankind out of the dust
-
of ground and putting into them the breath of life. God, in all
-
of that for his own glory. You have been fearfully and wonderfully made for
-
his own glory. I want to preach to you here tonight, if you'll
-
bear with me just a little while Heaven a little while, where I preach
-
to you tonight this morning, I preach the servon titled comfort is on its
-
way or comfort is coming, And our golden text was taken from the fortia
-
chapter and the first verse of that same sacred chapter. The Book of Isaiah
-
was the place that we found our golden text. And here denied is another
-
place in the Book of Isaiah that we find our golden text. In the
-
message this morning, I stress this streath has strengthen and the comfort that is
-
available to those who make the Lord their priority. Again this morning and the
-
servant I put forth an emphasis and stress that there is strength and comfort that's
-
available to those who make the Lord their priority. The reason why so many
-
people today are dealing with anxiety and depression and so many other things is because
-
they have not made the Lord their priority. Lucifer did not want God to
-
be number one. We find that of all the creative beings, Lucifer was
-
that one that was most glorious. He was most talented and most glorious because
-
it he was supposed to use her the talents and the skills and abilities that
-
he had for the glory of God. He sees so many young people come
-
to an arrogancer and they become egotistical, because of the blessing, Sir,
-
that God has given them. If you have a beautiful appearance, like a
-
David of old, if you're ruddy and of a beautiful countenance, if you're
-
like miss Esther who became the queen and the bride of a hassrous, if
-
you are beautiful in appearance, or if you're multi talented, saying you've got
-
musical ability second to nobody. Do you realize the reason why you've got all
-
of these talents? Well, that's one, there are five, they're ten.
-
It could be financials, and that's probably what they're talking about in the
-
parablem other talents. It could be finances. It could be physical paceique,
-
or physical stature, or physical appearance. But whatever it is that you've got
-
to you have been fashioned in His likeness, and it is to be used
-
for the glory of God. It is not to bring an increase in the
-
payroll of people that are producing movie, say for Hollywood. It is not
-
to be promoted on a big screen somewhere. It is not to be put
-
to center stains in Nashville somewhere. It is not right for miss Taylor Swift
-
to stand there apply for him. Had to perform to thousands, maybe ten
-
and twelve thousand a stay a rod their brains for her talent. You know
-
the why with sin that Lucifer he fail, King Saul he fail. Pritney
-
spirits and she fell, and Expressley she feel. Michael Jackson he failed.
-
He could be a conspiracer, conspiracy theorist. Oh you want to, but
-
I want you to know. It was not the illuminating man that took these
-
people name burn of a road. It's not assassinated by the illuminating man.
-
No. Ultimately, her spirit had been lifting up. I smell Ha's these
-
others. The spirits have been lifting up for ten minute. It's not you.
-
That why somebody that hated him John and was to you on that because
-
he said I'm more popular God Jesus said, I'm coming to night to make
-
war. But just the start pride God began to deal with, made us
-
afternoon, had to hide nap for forty five minutes and planning to go in
-
another direction. God began to speak to me concerning pride. Pride is an
-
ugly thing. I know. I said a little while ago that Rusaper a
-
satan, if you would does not have never has had five houralls in that
-
thing. He calls her her head. Oh come on, now, I
-
know that two heads is a monster. I know that at some point he
-
got too big for his breeches. He was not ugly at this time.
-
On his life factor fall or the creative being. He's the most glory,
-
so he's the mosquito pon, he's the most talented, he's the most musical.
-
What in the world with wrong? I'll tell you what went wrong,
-
but you confided. Then I got to text. We're not talking about five
-
our balls in his head. We find five out real statements, and that's
-
where he went wrong. I will do it me out card. I will
-
do this and that whether or not God says it's okay. And now I
-
should be able to fold up the Bible and start preaching it right now.
-
How many people in dispunding are getting what I'm saying? How many people in
-
disputing, by the raising of your hand, would put forth a sign showing
-
others that you know, God is Lord of all life, the life within
-
the animal kingdom, the life within the human racer. The Lord is the
-
lord of them all. The rock star, the pop star, the holiness
-
preacher, that woman of you'll repute that goddly virtuous, meek woman. The
-
Lord is the maker of them all. And if you can get a hold
-
of this tonight, you're not your own. Your bout with the pries.
-
That body is to be the temple and the hold a dost. Oh,
-
yes, sir, I can review God out of the way and real life.
-
When God breathed into the nostrils of Adam the breath of life, and
-
he became a living soul, the Lord was very pleased. But immediately Adam
-
and Eve and He came out on the side of the man. You know
-
the story, trying to cut it short here, But immediately they began to
-
question the words of God and the will of God. The will of God
-
was that they would remain in that haven of rest, that they would tear
-
along in the garden of Eden, that land where the lion did not attack
-
the sheep, that land where there was no strife, that land where there
-
was no person inviting, where they would walk through the garden in the cool
-
of the day, shoulder to shoulder with the Lord of life. How many
-
of you value the lordship of Jesus Christ. Apparently, Lucifer or Saintan was
-
able to masquerade himself and to put on a persona of simplicity of the beast
-
up the field. There is this simple beast, and that is also very
-
subtle. See the simplicity and the septulity of the serpent, and the serpent
-
begins her to talk to them. And the question the authority of God.
-
That's the beginning of the damn call of every boy and girl, of mom
-
and dad. As we never begin to question the authority of the Word of
-
time. You know why too, I repl we're reading the Bible that it's
-
because they don't care what God said. They don't care. I'm thinking the
-
world I'm out holding that they don't care. I'm taking alarm about's sake of
-
a case one cares not. In loosening a woman one time, she said,
-
I don't care what the Bible said. I know what the spirit inside
-
of me is saying. Listen the word of God and the spirit of God,
-
which is the third part of that blessed reality the brother Richard Jacob talked
-
about a little while ago, there is never a killer flint in heaven.
-
Why is their marital strife? Why is there anxiety? Why is there depression?
-
Why is this such toxicity. It's so many family environments. It is
-
because of the stubbornness of so many people and the sceptivity a satan. He
-
comes in your guide bouncing data. You want to kick the devil actor the
-
Roman. Listen to me. If you're a firstman, is a work,
-
providing your necessary word in your necessary food. You should not be dying with
-
a deaf man. If that's not matter, it puts tease us and come
-
on now telling you why I heard the spirit tell no, that's not the
-
Jesus of the Bible. Sucker punched it, didn't I I had a god
-
name Jesus helped me at the Mexican restaurant today. Well, your mama calls
-
you, didn't you? Yeah, didn't she? She called you and she
-
educated you instead a thing or two. Don't anybody think that's going on in
-
May or may not be. Maybe it's about to Your daddy called you.
-
They said this, and that, I'm telling you, while your husband is
-
providing for you and while he is working, you should not be dining with
-
the devil. Come on, but Jesus told me. I heard the false
-
prophet say that one time. He said that Jesus walked into his bedroom,
-
and he conversated and communicated with Jesus. He won't but about twenty minutes into
-
the conversation when I heard the contradictory statements, Todd said in his word,
-
and I knew and rest out Jesus from nasawith go pards, the Lord of
-
life, decided that God again, it doesn't matter person impostate Jesus. They'll
-
tell you. The lads over here, they'll tell you the laws over there
-
be out of lom of God. In our church tonight, I value the
-
lordship of Jesus Christ of Nasareth, born of the Virgin Mary, who died
-
for our sin, who paid the Christ and paid off that sidate that we
-
cannot pay, and on the third day was resurrected. That is the Jesus
-
that I'm preaching about, and that is the Jesus whose will matters. There
-
are some other real statements and the other places in the Bible where the letter
-
I is used. There are chasing by God the Father and by his son
-
Jesus. There are some other will statements, but I'm not focusing on the
-
statements of the Godhead tonight. I focusing on your selfish will and these five
-
I will statements of Saintan have many here are willing to bow the heads from
-
time to time and look up to Him meekly and humb and know that you
-
must humble yourself in the spirit of self amazement and humility. You cannot lift
-
up yourself and a spirit of self exaltation. In this book of the Bible
-
we find how the Lord despises the pride of mankind. In Isaiah chapter number
-
two and Burst number eleven, the Lord speaking to us Isaiah sair that the
-
lofty looks of man shall be humble, and the haughtiness of men shall be
-
bound down, and the Lord alone shall be insulted. In that day,
-
I'll see about so many professor Christians that won't even speak to you in town.
-
I see it when they ignore you. I see it when they ignore
-
that person that they're gonna church me in on another location. That is not
-
a time saving, That to you, a confusing the associated I refuse of
-
a fellowship fast out of God. Tell me he may, I'm gonna stamp
-
you tonight. It's all proud. There's nothing at all about that that involved
-
God. There's a stir of meness, a shallas with that right, you
-
don't care about your brothers. You never feel gonave you a wide steak because
-
spent is fucking Sometimes all it takes for that young person to know what we
-
care is that's a good looking pair of shoes. Sister, that's a beautiful
-
gam you're wearing. Right to tell this wedding ceremony your son is getting married
-
self abasement. I don't feel like doing this because I know I'm gonna get
-
tongue tied. Then I'm not gonna say the right things. That's all right,
-
sister. Howe has done that a time or two herself. She's went
-
up to somebody we have seen in five to ten years, literally pointed I
-
tobellyon and said, when is the baby doing, only to hear them saying
-
that is not baby, that is fat grandson. I know we're all concerned
-
about saying so it don't stop making any sense. We might be totally off
-
the top of the but the Bible said the friends my soul themself. You
-
want to sit there in your own brother, sit there in the old tall
-
But I'm afraid I'll say something wrong. If I had not got victory over
-
the spirit of pride and the spirit of fear. I'd never preached the first
-
message. I certainly would have never passed through the first church. We certainly
-
would be having church tonight, would be being the preacher. But I'm sickened
-
by these lofty looks of man. And they call it I'm scared. They
-
call it I got far. They call it I don't have a personal You
-
can do a whole lot better than what you're doing. Because if I was
-
waving a million dollars in your face right now and I said all you had
-
to do was come up here, they get it hastily and with a smile
-
on your face. There's not a person in this building that would not put
-
extreme value on that connection. Well, I want you to know we may
-
not be waving years and dollars in your face, but we're waving little boys
-
and little carols, and your brother and your sister pann of righteous Gus,
-
Sir, are of righteousness in your house for time. But you shaid not
-
be good bid for there. The Lord despises the haughtiness of some people.
-
He despires us egotistical spirits and attitudes. He despises pride. I looked at
-
people before that were struggling with pride, and I said, my God,
-
what do they have to be powerful over? What do they have to be
-
powerful about? I've seen people with noses as loneness, elephants and ears.
-
This big, that's done. I've seen people here the normality and deep formality,
-
so are not coming in? And I quit then com better than everybody
-
answered. If you've got a big nonsense, you want a sound, offer
-
that sucker still all my God, pick off, my God. I'm appearing
-
the hole it goes, sweet Lamb of God. If you can't raise up
-
your hands, you ought to raise up in big ears outside before it's just
-
a loop. And I am really laughing inside. I am not at all
-
being mean tonight that I am being very very serious. I'm gonna say it
-
again. If that impostor named Jesus preaches to you in the other doctor,
-
if the agel comes to you, somebody that you got company's here, somebody
-
worn a clergy balancer, somebody's saying that it's Teesus when they preach us.
-
But they look God for God. That is to trailery to your military.
-
That is cat trailer to suffer, bastable. That's not the right, Jess
-
Jesus Christ of Nazareth, boring to the Virgin Mary, as to what I
-
saw, that's God that I serve. That he abased himself to be a
-
baby. He could have came as God, then he could have died as
-
the same. He came as a baby, and he did die as a
-
man. But he was one hundred percent God. He was as much God
-
then God in carne as he was man. But he humbled at himself.
-
The Bible said, he subjected himself to the ultimate sacrificer, and he despised
-
the shame for the joy that was set before him. He endured the cross.
-
Oh, bless your little hard After church, you gotta get out and
-
go speak to somebody to bless your little people the heart Jesus hang neck across
-
for your sorry Papa, So holiness to the custom people. At some point,
-
pray through insecurity. You ain't wound nothing in a while what you had
-
behind Adam and Eve to not have connection with God because of what they're hide
-
of the heart. You hide behind solid pride. You hideing behind solid peer.
-
The Lord tis my prier. You don't still all torment. If you
-
run acadam of soul, you are stilling the right hand across him and lovell.
-
The Lord despises that heartiness and artistical behavior. I see it in the
-
pool pits across America, around the globes, in every country, people in
-
impoverish villagers. They become a preacher, and they're too haughty to wash the
-
saint's feet. They become a preacher, and they're too proud for the House
-
and Outreach ministry. They become a preacher. I'll come now, And they
-
don't want to get their hands thirty. They don't want to help the least,
-
the lost, and the lordly. Aren't you glad that Jesus step down
-
the royal staircasement of Heaven and came down among dingon and dirty and managing,
-
and roll up asleep and became servant of all of humanity. It has been
-
said that we will have it our way. People were saying that before the
-
CEOs and executives, a Burger King promise you you could pull up to a
-
box and hear a voice come out of it and say, Hi, welcome
-
to Burger King. You can have it your way. This afternoon's inspiration for
-
tonight's message. I heard somebody ordering at what was seemingly a fast food store,
-
and Brother Jesse, I guess it was some kind of burner key.
-
And what I heard somebody saying over that loud speaker, nothing but a voice.
-
You can have it your way. I don't care how your mama and
-
daddy and your former pastors, preachers, teachers, or any other denomination or
-
the Popa himself or any overseer tells you. It's supposed to be that we
-
just sent in Church of the each his old death, and everybody just do
-
their old time and had it your way. If you're gonna be a child
-
of God, you're gonna be a God's way. It will never be said
-
real have it my what. That's what we're dealing with right here tonight,
-
sister woman. If I could get people to crucify that I ah. If
-
I could get them to sacrifice, ah. If I could get them to
-
say, Lord willing instead of I willing? What are you willing to do?
-
I'm willing to do nothing. We should be a revival right now.
-
The spirit of God should be moving right now. We should be preaching louder
-
than the crickets are preaching. We should be saying Amen, louder than the
-
crickets are saying, Amen, it has been said that we will not enter
-
heaven with the same spirit of pride that caused Lucifer to be kicked out of
-
heaven. How many of you believe that Heaven will allow one little ouncer of
-
pride? They say, one little trump, for he is deadly God.
-
No one little ouncer or one little preek, for Pride's d deadly pal.
-
I'm going in texta. I say A four fourteen to twelve said, how
-
art thou falling from Heaven? O Lucifer? How did that marriage end up
-
in shambles? How did those kids end up addics? How did that nation
-
end up collapsing and crumbling? How did that nation that did not fear God
-
and did not respect him turning into hell? It started out so beautiful,
-
It started out so pure, It started out so innocent. How art thou
-
falling from heaven, Old Lucifer, Son of the Morning? How art thou
-
cut down to the ground that about it? Are you really gonna continue to
-
pamper and fostering that spirit and pride? Are you gonna pull out to the
-
soul and the spirit and saying that spear of pride tonight? I preaching a
-
son and a holding this time old her the five isa of Satan. Notice
-
this here in lies the answer to this statement questions. If you'll look at
-
that text that does not have question marks behind it, there are exclamation points.
-
So we will say, why is these statement questions? For thou have
-
said in thine own heart. You have not spoken it to dad or mama.
-
You have not spoken it to your husband or your wife. You have
-
not spoken it to the preacher. You have not spoken it to nobody.
-
It's right in here. That spirit of pride is a bruming that's still that's
-
in there. You've got a stillery that is pumping out, or every spirits
-
up. The spirit of pride, they said, will ascend into heaven,
-
A will exalt by tram by the stars of God. A will send also
-
upon them now too on the congregation. You better be tackle just sitting there.
-
I will a serial mother hats in the clouds. If I can't be
-
center states when I sing, I just will not sing at all. I
-
will be the most time. Oh no, you won't be. I will
-
stab my pastor in the back to be just as annoyted as he was,
-
even even do better than that. God. He printed David's hard not to
-
text thoughts. A naughted, you better be courcy. Now we can state
-
the concerning the morrow and time. How many times did Lucier say I will
-
in that golden text? Five times he said I will. Five times he
-
said I will. I will go to the lake on Sunday instead of gonna
-
Sunday meeting. Oh, we will work some overtime instead of going to revive.
-
Ah, we will have hide this seal a we wi't have to do
-
this, and do that and changeater number four in less number fifteen. The
-
apostle change swell forgot you ought to say it the Lord will we shout there
-
but and be this from that. It's not what will you do, that's
-
what you will do through him. The Apostle James, which was the pillar
-
of the church. Paul he seemed to be, and he was. The
-
apostle. James was reminding people of the early Church that they were to depend
-
entirely on the Lord for their future. Sister Howill did not know what I
-
was going to preach on. But our dependency is in the Lord. Every
-
Christian in this building ought to be thinking that your dependency is the Lord.
-
We sing that song. I don't know what I do without Jesus. I
-
can't walk without Jesus. I can't talk without Jesus. There's a lot of
-
people and some of them are just stuck the road at a clock to night,
-
and they feel like they can walk without Jesus. They feel like they
-
can talk without Jesus. They feel like they can make the me that's without
-
Jesus. They feel like they can become popular without Jesus. The thought of
-
a Christian is building tonight. Ought to be that I am reliant on Christ.
-
That not that I'm totally self reliant. If self reliancy is enough,
-
man, I've missed it. I can't even preach without Jesus. I can't
-
even walk without Jesus. I can't even talk without Jesus. The great men
-
of God, like Isaiah Knude that arrogant people are end up fallen out of
-
good graces with God. Can somebody backslide back up? Absolutely? King saul
-
a set of him that he was among the prophets, and a scent of
-
him, that the spirit of God would move, and that he would bring
-
great victories and deliverances to his people. But we know that he ate his
-
last meal with the witch of him Lord, he fell out of good graces
-
with God. Judas fell out of good graces with God because he chose to
-
go that way. Now, if the Lord permits, we will have a
-
move of God tonight. That the Lord permits, we will have somebody pray
-
things through and the altar tone that the Lord permits. You can do all
-
things through Him. I can do all things through Christ. You cannot do
-
anything without Christ. I cannot shake your hand without God enabling me. I
-
couldnot have a desire to commersate, communicate with you without God enabling me.
-
Do you want to kill the spirit of pride? Do you? There needs
-
to be a hurd in here to not Saintan needs to die. So what
-
are we gonna do? If we're gonna priatorize, God's will must be number
-
one, no matter how much it costs. We must make God's will our
-
number one priority again, no matter how much pride it costs, no matter
-
how much fear we have to conquer. I know that I had to give
-
the center of God's will and move a little over two hours from home in
-
order to be in the center of God's will. You can move out of
-
your pew. You can get on your knees and bend them if you're able
-
and not disabled. And God knows whether or not you're gettingabled or disabled.
-
God knows if it's pride or not. I've seen them crippled, the halt
-
and the laming and disabled trying to praise God. Wow, what's happened?
-
The prinks and preacher loud, and you say, Amen, what's happened?
-
The cat's got your tongue, That old tritile devil's got your tongue going Luke,
-
Chapter number twenty two, Verse number forty two. Jesus, the Son
-
of God, praying himself, He said, Father, if thou be willing
-
remove this cup from me, nevertheless, not my will, but dying be
-
done. Jesus was demonstrating to his disciples, then, when we put things
-
in proper order, when we put the things of God first in our life,
-
other things paul in order. How about at mama? How about at
-
daddy? Do you want to be like your daddy? Do you want to
-
be like your mama? Do you want your children to see that they did
-
it that way you're gonna be with that way? Or do you want to
-
be things differently. Let's put things in proper perspective. Let's put things in
-
their proper places. Even Christ, the Son of God, the second part
-
of the God, that was asking the father you have, but you're what.
-
That's one of the problems of women throughout America today. And I don't
-
preach much on that subvission, but they have an issue with submitting to their
-
husband. And I get it. I get it. Some husbands are undeserving
-
of subvission. If your husband ain't getting out there and hustling and working and
-
trying to make things happen for you, you don't have to kiss his toe.
-
If you're the only one working and making a living and he's sitting his
-
butt on recliner all day long, you don't have to drag your hide in
-
there and make supper. Right, He ought to make supper. You ought
-
to roll out the red carpets they come on in here, Queen Well,
-
less to look to us. I'm not asking anybody to get credit glory they
-
don't deserve. But I am telling you God deserves credit. God deserves glory.
-
Why do I keep bumping all of this? I have no idea,
-
but I want God to have it His way. I know that that man
-
is supposed to be the leader of his home. He's supposed to be the
-
priest on his home. But the Bible also said concerning that woman, she's
-
supposed to be chased. She's supposed to keep the hole. She's not supposed
-
to let things unraveled. She's not supposed to let things fall apart. She's
-
never supposed to tell the husband. Oh my God, I don't know if
-
I want to serve God or not. What do you say? If you
-
want to commit spiritual suicide? Don't you treat me with that. I don't
-
tear your high wo that word. I said, you cut me. But
-
byside than God, you just go ahead and do it. That's what as
-
for me? Up, I don't he go ahead? They told the holiday
-
you big back bully. I thought you couldn't talk. I thought you didn't
-
even happy land her. No sense I said it this in your heart,
-
lucupert, list in your heart. I look bers of the heart the mosstery.
-
Then, husband, you are to my wife sees a right talk,
-
Baba. Abuse is not pleasant. You're not to embarrass her in the public.
-
This is not conducive for good family environments. This is not conducive for
-
good church environments. That's why there's no longer moves of God taking place in
-
locals assemblies, because the spirit of Pride he is priority there. We're all
-
too good to greet the brother with a holy kiss. I'm not talking about
-
kissing your brother on the lyft, but we're all too good. Man.
-
There's some men and this fueling this stiff armed brother Jesse, Come here,
-
brother Jesse, let me demonstrate. They have not than at all to be
-
tackled a boat. But here's what they did, because they learned how to
-
do that, how to chuck. It was actually a hell. But everybody
-
want say that for pride, but nobody wanted to be that's my brother.
-
So I'm got a ton of time to say cares. It's like this,
-
really you want to be that line You remember that when you're in I cenu,
-
when you're just and propred and you want in a tunny down and say
-
you love mister step On. Pride is an ugly monster. Did not as
-
well have ton eyes because all this concerned about his eye? Aye? This
-
aye, that aye, this aye that I did. Yes, I'll have
-
it, maling who cares about the divine institution of the home, of having
-
a father and a mother and children. Ah will have two men, one
-
of the men his father and one of the men his mother. That is
-
not the plan of God. I feel the spirit of God in this place.
-
I need you to pray for me. I want to behave and be
-
sweet. That is an ugly spirit. Pride might as well have five eyes
-
on the death of that monster. Listen, Jesus, the son of God
-
went into the garden of Gseimine, fixing to pay the price for your sin.
-
He did not want to do it. The man within Jesus said,
-
I do not want to do it. Megan doesn't deserve it. Samuel doesn't
-
deserve it. Jeremy doesn't deserve it. Philip, Yeah, he's gonna have
-
chemo, but he doesn't deserve it. Demand nature of Jesus said, Thomas
-
doesn't deserve this, but the God nature. I'm gonna go into the garden
-
and I'm gonna pray, and I'm expecting the apostles to pray with me.
-
My followers are gonna be in there with no one. They could not even
-
watch with him for an hour. And why he's in there, He sends
-
Father not my wheel, but gind me God. It does not matter what
-
do you want to do. It matters what God walks in away. What
-
I said, a maters what cover watching aday? Look care? What do
-
you wanta do? Godless movement in this place, and you can kill the
-
spirit of pride Jesus, what did he hook her over? But he collapsed
-
and he struggled, just like constructling with that carnal will. And he said,
-
nevertheless, and to the end of the day, here goes nothing.
-
I will because you said to I will God, clap my hands. Because
-
you said to I will shadow to God with the course of trife. Because
-
he said to better feel a sister, Ceahl, I know that He has
-
provided healing for your body. But to man, nature did not want to
-
go through it. Most import of the man. Nature did not want to
-
bear the sins or the red her pardon him, he'd know the wayess I'm
-
to see it, but he know the just stick about this. I'm a
-
guilt and shame, but he did it. He loved me anyway I love
-
your pastor anyway I love your preacher. Anyway, Man, I've got about
-
sick and tired of go into meetings and somebody that can't preach her way out
-
of the wet paper bag, acting like there's somebody I've heard an old cardinal
-
spirit inside of us, tries to shove back their cardinal spirit and say,
-
but they ain't. None of us should be doing any of that. There
-
should be any pride, and there should be any if you're blessed for the
-
church where the people love you. Hey, sister, I did all the
-
hopes I could from my sister go, I love your bless her. When
-
the church praying your other brothers love one another. I would speak hands and
-
slap one another over back on us, held as often as I could.
-
Well, we didn't do it over there. Let me ask you a question.
-
Did they have to uniting that were hard? Did I halt the miracles?
-
But we had? Listen? Why is God not sitting in the throne
-
room and upon the throne of your heart because you wanted your way? Lucifer
-
attempted to dethrow God Almighty. It's the ludicrous The thought of it is crazy.
-
But isn't crazy? When the Holy Gath speaks to us, it says,
-
I'm gonna bless you if we say not today. Why can't he sit
-
right there in the center of that soul. You're not your old You were
-
bought with a great price. He sacrificed the earthly man his will that you
-
might live. Your body is supposed to be the temple of the Holy.
-
No, the eternal soul that is in that earthly tent of yours, come
-
on, it belongs to God. The Bible said, all souls belong to
-
God. In our gold in text we see where Lucifer was cast them.
-
And I was thinking about this this afternoon. I was in my office praying
-
over these notes, and they are tearstained, and I said, God,
-
I am not going to suffer from caladis or nervousness while I preach, because
-
that spirit of pride wants to take out the spirit of God. You might
-
not think that your body language is throwing dark sat God. You might not
-
think your absence of involvement in the service, and your rebellion, and your
-
stubbornnessness in your heart, it's not being noticed by God. The sun in
-
the morning. You may appeared about our definition of rightness up. You may
-
be my definition of beautiful. You may have been by definition all together lovely
-
sun in the morning. But I want you to know, Gop cast your
-
son now, I said, Todd, he passed up so down. I
-
don't want to be set Their son went down because of pride. Ah God,
-
ah God. It needs to be him him him, him him,
-
Because I was praying this afternoon, the Lord said, my son, notice
-
that Lucifer was cast down. He did not slip on a banana pill.
-
He did not stumble accident. That he was thrown down. And I want
-
you to know. It's only a matter of time that every child of mine
-
have a son old mind, have a dollar long mind, have a son
-
yours, have a son long yours and old and old, and Lord that
-
they fall if they do not get ptra her over something. Right now,
-
he's asking me, do a really believer, it's pride, Pride to appear
-
to be sleep holy dels, Pride to appear to be manipolative at the septa.
-
How do you even know they've been dining with a devil while you're going
-
at them, you know, ain't careful. And that's through the tide rise
-
up a cod preaching us like that pizza pride. I stuffed downe and showered
-
this afternoon, and that going in the corner of my soul bouncing off on
-
one wall, upon the next one, bouncing off the next one and to
-
the other one. Was Samuel Howell's message. Brother Samuel, you owned that
-
little horse. Now what was the title of that message? Get off your
-
stick to one got too big? Bre your riches? So what God uses
-
you? So what God annoints you highly to preach? So what God annoants
-
you to have a wonderful personality that is in Texas and contagious? So what's
-
your good looking? So what God's given you a beautiful voice? So what
-
God's given you a lot of talented pr come on outter lot puts in another
-
hour to night and throwing bodies about to work out Why you just sit there
-
looking through the entire pope. There ain't no way I'd ever get sweated like
-
that. That's right. You're not that guy that would run in front of
-
the Amtrak train to say somebody else as child that I have got God.
-
They can sit there in a view roll they want to and take their shoes
-
off and kick back and that plot. There's got cars for emergency. They
-
can sit back there and trim their fing nails. They over there and to
-
put their foot up there and trim their toenails and act like there's no reason
-
to get upset. But I'm the one that would jump in front of the
-
train for me and push your child to safety and have railroad tracks on my
-
back. Come on down, I said, I feel right here to not
-
I feel out there, son trying to let the devil run slam over me
-
while you pretend out you're not fighting back to steal the pie who go to
-
cheat? Miss a pool for a holy doors if you can get the over
-
pride, it talks a roll out rather talk about credits. I'm a stucks.
-
Come here and ask for brothering luck that's on top and all the law.
-
I mean that couldn't a god because they're pulling Pride. And here's what
-
they say. Is that really necessary? Sure it is? Sure it is.
-
After his fall, Lucifer became known as the Devil. My Jesus,
-
say out, just a handful of your giftness tonight. I've got about five
-
or six falling and the squalling and praying for me, and I've got others
-
just sitting there just as cold and just as lifeless. Why is she doing
-
it? It's a heart issue. Pride was Lucifer's downfall. Pride was the
-
down fall King Saul. He lives. I don't care how sweet she is
-
at the house. I don't care how sweet he is at the house.
-
So he bring you a dozen roses every day he sent in the house of
-
God. And be just as arrogant, egotistical, and prideful. Mother can
-
be slapping your belly full of biscuits and honey, and she can have conjured
-
up or planned, and you're so stupid an aid not to know it,
-
because you're so conceited and gatistical. You never do wrong. It's never I
-
have sin, I did wrong, I'm mistaken. It's always I will be
-
right, I will get the last word. I will go home and discuss
-
this and that preach us wrong, Oh Sun, what your lost? God?
-
We killed us through the pride years ago. We know long war praying
-
to be June's stuff. Cod we have got ahole way spend this way.
-
Finally we said, I must increase. I must decrease so that we all
-
increase. I must think somebody to that. Decrease yourself, Increase yourself.
-
They trace rself Satan. Because of his pride, he has an eternal abode
-
that was prepared for him. Let's call the Lake of Tire. And you
-
know what he wants to do. He wants to take us all there with
-
him. I just heard the Holy Ghost check me. I want to point
-
this out to Jesus taught us to deny ourselves. Jesus taught us to deny
-
ourselves. Say wants you to satisfy yourself. And Satan told me right now
-
not to pray. I'm gonna pray, Brother Jesse. You're in that new
-
Sunday school superintendent position today, you've opened up service. I bowed my head
-
for us to pray, and I realized, Brother Jessey, forgot to have
-
everybody pray before Sunday school. Probably nobody else in this building praying, Brother
-
Jesse, But here your pastor is right over there in the office, listening
-
every word you're saying. And I bowed my head waiting on the prayer.
-
There was no pencil pushing that should be done. I was to be reverent
-
while that prayer was being prayed, while our Sunday school superintendent let us in
-
prayer. I went ahead and say, God help our teachers, God help
-
our students. Hey, come on, now, this alter is for us
-
to decase out. I preach it this morning. God was gonna provide us
-
with comfort, but he didn't promise us a cushy situation or a cozy situation.
-
What is the reason for all of the wickedness in the world today?
-
Selfishness? Pride? Luke, Chapter number ten, verse number eighteen. Jesus
-
said he saw satan fall lightning from heaven lucifer sun in the morning. You
-
used to be so bright, You used to have such a fair complexion.
-
You used to be so beautiful. Also in the New Testament, they said,
-
concerning the devils, they can transform themselves into angels of light and husbands.
-
You guys, listen to me. They can sit there and look just
-
as innocent as a house while they're making you a peanut butter and jelly.
-
And that's all that matters is you're gonna patch your belly and put them some
-
milk. Can you say what an angel is? This is why you bring
-
her to church where your pastor can tell her, just like I told my
-
wife, and just like I'm gonna tell yours. Flat footed right here,
-
we have to deal with pride and fear just because she's making you a peanut
-
butter pie, don't make her an angel. I wish the Church of say
-
Amen. I've seen some pretty wicked people make some pretty good sundays down there
-
at Fairy Queen. I've seen some waiters and waitresses at the restaurant be very
-
nice to Sister Howl and I because they had an ontarior motive. It's called
-
tippage. Pride is what's keeping you from victory and secondly fear. And I
-
do feel like God is looking now to see what we will do. I
-
will obey, I will old bay husband's again. It's not for you to
-
torment your wife or make them feel that tall wife. Your husband is not
-
your enemy. But the Bible said only by pride come contention. If you're
-
having marital issues and strife in that relationship. The toxicity in that relationship is
-
not that you're of the will of God, has not that you two are
-
wonderful people. It says it comes through pride. If you're fussing and fighting,
-
it's been called somebody will not crucify their pride. Now, you might
-
use this as an example because you're a great mister. A twisting scripture.
-
Twist and what I say and I can come over here and sit my sister
-
house say scoop now, And she's got a spirit of price. You say,
-
who do you think you are to tell me to scoop down right front
-
of sixty six people. But I have told sister how many a time,
-
Honey, I'm sorry. And I've never talked about my wife in public life.
-
She's a piece of traps. We have had behind the closed door meetings
-
and talked about things. But these howl children do not know what it is
-
for dad to slam a door. These howl children are never allowed to slam
-
a door in my house. They weren't allowed to slam a bedroom door.
-
They weren't allowed to slam a vehicle door. They weren't allowed. I'm telling
-
you this stuff God dealt with me this afternoon. It comes through pride.
-
But there's been times I've looked at this lady right here and said, honey,
-
I'm sorry. I'm the head of the household. But if you do
-
that in front of your children, the Bible said, either so do,
-
the wind's gonna read the world within you slam that door today, it's gonna
-
be your baby slamming it tomorrow. But there's been times I said charity,
-
you know what. Neither one of us is right or sometimes to say charity,
-
you know what? Do right now? I'm wrong. This may not
-
be the Shelton message tonight that we all want it or that we expect of.
-
But this will keep our families together. This will keep our marriages in
-
tact. This will keep our pastor in the pulpit. Do you realize if
-
I got a haughty spirit about myself and said, oh I could do something
-
else, I deserve better. I deserve to be We need the spirit of
-
Naomi, we need the spirit of Esther and says I'm content to dwell among
-
my home people. You do realize where God puts you and place you and
-
your performance ought to be great. This is fruit. I'm not asking everybody
-
to be a Rachel how well. I'm not asking everybody to be this or
-
be that. I'm not asking everybody to be multi talented my brother Jesse,
-
our brother e Ja. But I am telling you there is something that I
-
can do. I don't want to kill this, but every time I get
-
in this poolpit and I exhort and I push, knowing somebody's gonna go home
-
choking down a big mac having it their way and say, oh he in
-
the Q. He just long winded. I had to crucify my pride and
-
say, you know what, I'm willing to get sloppy with its wet sweating.
-
I'm willing I'm a nobody. Let's clarify that I'm a nobody. I'm
-
the least person in this building. But Lucifer, he would say, I'm
-
the greatest person in this building. I will, I will, I will,
-
I will, I will. There's some of you you think you're king.
-
You go to the restaurant and you talk to them waiters and waitresses like
-
your royalty. It's like you expect them to hand squeen the grapes and your
-
glass. That's pride. You talked to them like they're a dog, because
-
in your heart you're living like a king. But Richard Jacob told me this
-
morning. He said, I went to a restaurant and I was speaking to
-
a waitress and said, she knows my pastor and my pastor's wife and brother.
-
Richard said, well, so and so they know you, And she
-
said what they know me? They know my name, they know who I
-
am. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I wanted to be said that he
-
was his friend it has been said of a man in this building. I
-
churched for them for years and did not even know them. Wow. Really,
-
there is a powerful spirit of the hold that ghost in this building.
-
Do you want it to be said? It's your funeral? You know what.
-
I went to church with this guy for twenty years and he was too
-
good to speak. And when you start stuttering like Elmer flu and you say
-
that's why I don't talk to people, it simply means you ain't done it
-
enough here, because I've seen you flapping them jaws have public when you didn't
-
know. I saw you when you had no speech impediment, when you had
-
no problem talking in general public. If you're getting on the phone and you're
-
glabbing it more than you can care on a conversation with this lady right here.
-
If you tell the center in the isle of Walmart or in the isle
-
of the CBS pharmacy more about what's going on than you do right here in
-
the altar to God, you've got major issues. It's called pride. I
-
will do it my way. The pastor will ask us to do it this
-
way because he feels like God let us to do it this way. But
-
I will do it my way. If everybody comes into the new Sanctuary in
-
this door, I'm gonna come in this one. If everybody parks over here,
-
I'm gonna park over here where there's no parking lot. It is what
-
it is. I will have it my way. The five eyes of Satan.
-
Do you realize that every menace of society and every monster of society was
-
selfish? Those men have brutally murdered people's sons and daughters. They had selfish
-
motives. I can hear the cricket preacher, they saying. Any now,
-
right now, I'm weak in body. I don't need to be a friendly
-
to me after the service that. I need you to be afriended to God
-
and friendly to your brother and sister, and I need you to be merciful
-
to these children. I've seen people start attending here, and they come here
-
with a chip on their shoulder, and they have them evil surmises and have
-
confused notions, and they just assumed that this is some sort of competition,
-
and they assumed that this is kind of environment they come out of, and
-
they assume in order to keep from having your head bit off by the neighbor
-
sitting on that put next to you. You gotta act like you don't care
-
about anybody. You gotta act like you don't care for anyone, and you
-
gotta act like to each his own. That's not how we operate here.
-
And the good news is that's not how they operate in heaven. You may
-
not like this, and this may hair let Grandma, but Heaven will be
-
a multi national congregation. The black brother is gonna shout glory to God with
-
a white brother. The yellow brother is gonna shout glory to God with the
-
redskin brother. All sweet Lamb of God, I feel the Holy Ghost in
-
this place. We have to get rid of these partialities. We're supposed to
-
be impartial. Well, I'm gonna shake their hand because they're wearing dainty jewels
-
dress. Y'all don't think that's biblical, do you. I'm gonna shake their
-
hand because they're wearing Stacy Atum shoes. That's what Jesus said. You see
-
that when come in into doors's clothing. You see that when a raid and
-
that beautiful, beautiful, beautiful decorative gown and suddenly you want to be friends
-
with that person. Right, whatever it is, it's either spirit of fear
-
or spirit of pride. Let's stand tonight to give our musicians a break.
-
There will be no musicians, there will be no ultra shit of singing.
-
We will all search our heart. I don't know that there's even two or
-
three. Perhaps I'm only preaching to one tonight. I don't know that there's
-
a handful of people tonight that needed to hear this specif. But I believe
-
it or benefit all of us down the road. Brother Caleb, you feel
-
like getting up in the morning at four o'clock, not really right, but
-
you know what you say, if he will help me, I will do.
-
Y'all think that I felt like preaching to night. Anybody that can read
-
my body language and knows I did not at all fell up to it in
-
body. I was absent of strength that the Holy goes help me. Yes,
-
And I'm trying to tell you. You may not feel like praying your
-
tonight, but you should do it. You may not feel like kneeling down
-
in that few somewhere and praying about in your head, but you should do
-
it. Jesus use me, Oh Lord, don't refuse me. For surely
-
there's something that I could do. And even though it's humble, Lord,
-
help my will to crumble. Though the costs be great, I'll work for
-
you, Lord. I really don't feel like gets sweaty again. I really
-
don't feel like collapsing in the reclader tonight. I really don't feel like having
-
a hard time tomorrow with weakness, weaknesses and knees. But it's very needful.
-
I feel like tonight's message is going to be instrumental if you allow it,
-
and saving spiritual lives, marriages, homes, and families. How do
-
you know, Because Sister Hell and I we had to learn how to humble
-
ourself. There is nothing beautiful about two rams button heads all day long.
-
I've seen it. People thinks it's funny and they think it's cute. But
-
when Cain kills Abel, Mom and Dad Vickory busting and find Dad, the
-
Howl kids know nothing of Dad slamming the door, getting in a car and
-
disappearing for six to eight hours, or over nine or for two to three
-
days. I've told the Howl boys and the daughter in laws, you're ever
-
at your WIT's end and you're going through a turble. Wi't you say one
-
word to me about it? If you're in over your head in any way,
-
you show up where I'm at and you just hang out for thirty minutes
-
or two an hour. You're going through things on the job, or health
-
issues, or you just need to be near somebody that cares. You just
-
come over there where I care. I don't know of anything whatsoever that has
-
happened or taking place. But brother Philip, I know this afternoon that God
-
took sleep from me. I was sound to sleep, hurt myself. Song
-
in miles. God's mindful of somebody. But unfortunately, brother Nathaniel, the
-
Lord was pointing out they got their own kingdom. Now I wanted to demonstrate
-
to you, or was we get ready to come to the altar? Trade
-
in our seats and man, you look great. This is a beautiful crowd.
-
You all. Think of how productive I would be if I sit right
-
here and watched you owe every service for hours. Occasionally I raised my hand.
-
There's no pride more damning than devils, than a silent pride. And
-
I'm going to say this again. When Luciffer fell, we didn't slip on
-
a banana piel. You're choosing to do these things, and the reason why
-
you're making bad choices is the same reasons as to howld struggle because her dad
-
law made bad choices, she grew up and divided home. She grew up
-
in a home where daddy was never home because by and Dad always fussed the
-
fault. That's not norm. It didn't take but her a couple of years
-
to realize that's not how it's going to be in the Jeremy home. Brother
-
Philip, you look great, paull headed. Do y'all know that Brother Philip
-
crucified pride when he accept the chemotherapy treatment and he lost his hair. That's
-
a tough lesson to learn it. And brother Philip, y'all didn't hear what
-
he said as he started losing it. He's full of the Holy ghost,
-
fool the spirit of God. But he said that hair is all always been
-
my baby. God took it, didn't he? And Mama I used to
-
hear them on the Church of God preachers say, don't you let that baby
-
be your pride and joy is God will take that baby. I can't bear
-
the fault of that. Whatever you on a pedestal, think about this moment.
-
Do you really not want to hand that baby off like quarterback hands of
-
football off to a running back when God's moving. You know, anything that
-
comes between you and God's and idol, you do realize you're making that baby
-
come between you and God. Y'all may not want to believe this, and
-
I don't care what you believe. You're entitled to your opinion. But in
-
my ministry, there's been times I've heard the Lord say, if you make
-
that turn and go down that road, your kids will suffer the consequences.
-
And I said, God, but I made the decision. The bad decision
-
will be mine. He said that your kids will pay the price. My
-
brother Jesse, There's been times even in ministry, I had to back up
-
and say, you know what, pastor in that bigger church might sound great
-
to me, but it's not what God wants. And so Lord, not
-
my will, but dying be done. I feel like we just need to
-
find a place to pray. If it's in the fetor of the altar,
-
I feel like somebody needs to just kill the spirit of fear and the spirit
-
of pride. Lucifer. I will, I will, I will, I
-
will, I will be saying I will be the big name of Angelis,
-
I will be the big pastor, I will be the musician I will be
-
the senior, I will be the teacher. I will be that saint,
-
and I will be this person or perhaps this on the other side of the
-
structure. I will do it my way. I will take my path.
-
I will choose to do what I want to do. Somebody right now needs
-
to say, God, take this pride, Take this pride out with me.
-
Help me to humble myself, to deny myself. Here's what Jesus said.
-
Take up that cross, deny yourself. Take up that cross and follow
-
me. Preacher, you gotta be humble. Oh, it's not about us,
-
It's about Jesus. It's about them. Oh. I know. It's
-
not a shout message tonight. It's a humbling message. Self abasement, not
-
self exultation. Jesus, not by the real I know of five people in
-
the last ten minutes that God has helped greatly and immensely. Where you seek
-
God right now, say take me Jesus molded, fashion me in likeness in
-
new life. Take me Lord boldly. I don't want to be the same.
-
Change me. I want to be like you, Jesus, Jesus,
-
Oh God, Oh God, oh God, oh Jesus. Oh, it
-
won't be said and slept. The devil won't average your ways. That's a
-
trick of the devil for what it is good, it's a trick of it
-
only by bride.
