My Miracle - Bro Jeremy Howell 11-26-2023

Saint Matthew's Gospel, chapter number nine, the twenty seventh verse. Brother Nathaniel

Romans chapter number ten and verse number seventeen. Brother Jesse Hebrews, Chapter number

eleven and verse number one. I want to say tonight that I appreciated the

preaching of the Reverend Caleb Rode Gap during our absence. It was wonderful.

Man. How manever, you want to remain pliable while you're on the Potter's

wheel. For if you're on the potter's wheel, you're in the hand of

the Potter. I remember a message I preached many years ago, title messed

up, but in the Master's hands. So again, I appreciate the preaching

of the Reverend Caleb Roadcap. I also appreciate the preaching of the Reverend Jesse

Howell preaching the Surprise at Sunrise. I'm telling you I felt the presence of

the Lord as these two great preachers preach the Word of God. All of

the preachers that are part of the Bethel Hole in this church are such great

preachers. I appreciate each and every one of them. I know what is

involved in the preparation of a sermon, and I want you to know that

your labor was not in vain the first lady of this church, Sister Howell,

and I appreciate it so very much, Brother Nathan. The Romans,

chapter number ten and verse number seventeen. Listen, Church, So then faith

cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. How many of

y'all believe that that you can have a faith increase simply by hearing the word

of God, Brother Jesse, Hebrews, chapter number eleven and verse number one.

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things

not seen, the evidence of things not seen, Brother Jesse, the evidence

of things unseen. Wow. Let's stand for the reading of our golden text,

Saint Matthew's Gospel, the ninth chapter the twenty seventh verse, beginning there

and when Jesus departed, thence two blind men followed him, crying and saying,

thou son of David, have mercy on us. And when he was

coming to the house, the blind men came to him, and Jesus saith,

unto the unbelieve ye that I am able to do this? They said,

unto him, yea Lord. Then touched he their eyes, saying,

according to your faith be it unto you. Look at your neighbor and say,

hey, neighbor, the outcome of this is up to you. Again,

the outcome of this is up to you. May we pray, Heavenly

Father, we love it. We praise you. We thank you for the

opportunity to be in the house of the Lord. We thank you for your

goodness, We thank you for your excellent greatness. We thank you for your

mindfulness of this thy people. I thank you for the way they have been

seeking you and seeking your faith. God. When you require of them to

seek your faith, they have diligently and earnestly sought you. And I thank

you for that. I thank you, Lord for requiring it of them and

requesting it of them, and I thank you for their obedience. I pray

that you would annoy it. This thy servant, set a guard at my

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

say, nothing more or less anought the ears of this thy people, that

they might hear. What is the spirit saith to the church through this preach

word, not of my words on the co but through you, by your

power and by your spirit, God. And nor what am I afraid to

hear it to receive it. May we depart this place joyfully and not sorrowly.

If Jesus in the church says, as you're being seated, said again,

hey, neighbor, the outcome of this is up to you. Our

text is found in a New Testament book of the Holy Bible. It has

been a little while since we took a text from this book of the Bible.

This New Testament Book of the Bible, specifically Saint Matthew, serves as

a bridge for the reader of it. It spans between the Old and New

Testaments. This book of the Bible was written by a miserable tax collector.

You will come to an understanding in a little while as to why I feel

like he was a miserable tax collector. I do not feel like he was

someone that was very happy about his position amongst the Roman government. I feel

like this man went to work every day with deep sorrow and deep regret.

Feel like he was miserable every morning, if you would when the alarm clock

went off he said, oh man, I've got to go and do what

I'm supposed to do yet again another day. I feel like there might have

been times that he wished for the sun not to come up. There might

have even been times that he wished not to live another day. I am

not saying that he was suicidal, but there might have been times that this

little treacherous man would have felt like he had betrayed his own kindred and his

old people and just felt like, I just can't face the world anymore because

of the guilt and the shame that he bore. There's no doubt that this

man was miserable because of the regret, because of how he had defrauded his

brothers and sisters. For this man worked for the Roman government. This man

was requiring taxes and enforcing the taxation of his own people, being the Jewish

people, to benefit the Roman government. It is true that the Jewish people

were benefited by being under the umbrella of the Roman government. But I know

that this man had to feel terrible about being the one that was getting the

funds for that umbrella. He had to feel terrible about this task and this

duty. This was not a job that this man felt good about. I

know, if I receive a letter from the Irs, I always wonder what

is it that they want to ask me about? And there's always a tremendous

relief when I opened that envelope and read the content of that letter, and

I realized, it's just some information regarding the tax bracket that I'm in,

or perhaps there's some other source of information or leading me to some other type

of information that I could benefit from as a person at self. But just

the fact that I receive mail from the tax office or from the tax collector,

even if it is a local tax collector accounting tax collector, one that's

going to collect funds and property tax funds. Brother Jeremiah's very intimidating to receive

such a letter. And it amazes me how these tax collectors can get in

the backs of Cadillacs and convertibles and they can wave at everybody during the Christmas

parade or the New Year Parade, or some even maybe during the Macy's Thanksgiving

Parade, and they can smile at us, and they want us to wave

back. They'll give us the thumbs up. They want us to give them

a thumbs up back. And we realize we voted for them clowns, and

we put them into office. And after they came into office, Man,

they increased our taxes. They've laid some burdens upon our backs, and we're

unable to do anything about it. But they steal want us to wave with

them, and they want us to cast our vote for them the next time

they're on the ballot. But there's some of you, because of the increase

in your property taxes, you've already told me you don't plan on vote for

them. I remember one man by name, and I will not call his

name, but for as long as he was the tax collector, it seemed

like every year they were increasing our taxes. I know that this man was

like Zakis speaking of Matthew. Both of those men had set in tax collector

boost. No doubt they have been guilty of defrauding people. They had taken

things that did not belong to them, only to give most of the proceeds

of that thief ry to others, whether it be some form of government,

some system, somebody elms. And so I know that this man, brother

Nathaniel, must have been so miserable. That's gotta be the way a preacher's

son feels. That's gotta be the way some Sunday school teacher's daughter feels.

That's gotta be the way some kid that's been raised up in a hold in

his church all of his life. Whenever he's trying to bridge himself between the

church and the world, it makes for a miserable person. Again, this

book of the Bible, Saint Matthew's Gospel. It serves as a bridge between

the Old and the New Testaments. We also find Brother Rode Gavin that this

man was a bridge. Speaking of Matthew the tax collector, he would have

been a bridge between his people, the Jews and the gentiles. His own

people would have despised him because of his position, because he served as a

connection between them and someone else, someone else that they didn't necessarily agree with,

someone else that they were not necessarily okay with. And I feel like

this man must have been miserable. He had to have been miserable. I

remember being a little boy sitting in the Pentecostal churches and hear the preachers talk

about misery, and there would be a lot of times I would think I

can relate to that. I know all too well what it feels like to

be miserable. I know what it's like to literally feel like I'm being tormented

by the devil at not I feel like the weight of the world is on

my shoulders, I would say to myself, and not when the lights went

out and conviction began to settle down to part of my heart and my soul

and spirit, and I would look into what I felt like was outer darkness,

which was not really outer darkness. Only Hell has perfect our, complete

total darkness. But I remember just searching for a rate array of hope.

I remember just saying, God, I would feel so much better if I

could just find a little relief. I feel, dude. I felt close

kindred to despair. I felt an emptiness. Well, when there's a God's

size void in your heart, you're gonna feel empty no matter what you try

to put it there. I was never one to use drugs or to commit

fortication. I did not know anything about stealing. But Brother Jesse, if

I had a chosen to put those things in that God sized hole, there

is no way I would have felt better. There is no way I would

have felt satisfied. You can't get no satisfaction your person by being a bridge

between the church and the world. He'll hang time with me, We'll go

somewhere, and not for the sake of my voice. I will not push

very hard having preached for a while this morning. But this man served as

a bridge between his people, the Jews and the gentiles, those people that

were considered to be the off scathering of the world, the outsiders, the

forbidden fruit. Don't touch them, don't have anything to do with them.

Those are not God's people. But this man, Matthew, finds himself collecting

taxes for these very people, and the hands that are handing him the money

is the hands of his very own people. You see, Matthew begins to

inform us of his conversion. You'll find in this gospel where Matthew talks about

his calling. In fact, it's interesting to find that Matthew's calling is in

the very chapter that our Golden Text is found in Tonight, the calling of

Jesus Christ own the life of Matthew is found in this narrative within the ninth

chapter of Saint Matthew's gospel. And you find a miserable man going from misery

unto ministry in a moment. Oh wish ahead of voice to preach. Then

a miserable man goes from misery to ministry in a moment. Don't tell me

it takes God six months to a year to work in a man's heart or

a man's life. But he's truly miserable or not to forsake everything. And

he's tired to be in the same old boy. And she's tired to be

in the same old girl, tired to be in that same old creature.

They want have become something new, the diver safe and might be of Christ.

He is a new creature. All things have passed away, all things

have become new. Telling you this man have been miserable. But in a

moment, I said, in a moment of time, this man becomes the

writer of Saint Matthew's Gustel. He becomes a disciple of the Lord and Savior

to use us Christ. Not only this, the writings are remarkable. This

man's testimony is remarkable. I know that the writings of this man and Matthew

are certainly wonderful writings. In fact, most Bible scholars saying that there is

no gospel a specific concerning the man Jesus CHRISTA and his ministry than that of

Matthew. I can tell you that God will bring her the touch collector out

of the touch boot and putting him walking soda, the soda with him super

that touch doctor. He is looking for wayal. I don't believe this man

wanted to continue living in his sin. I don't believe that after Jesus rescued

him, located him, found him, called him, collected him. I

don't believe that this man, Matthew said, Jesus, can I go back

to the weak of the beggarly elements of this world? Could I become that

old man that I used to be? No miserable Matthew had met a merciful

Matthew, merciful Messiah. I wish I had a boister preach to you to

life. I'm trying my mist to preach me what a little bit of boss

I got. But the definition of the word miserable is wretchedly, unhappy or

uncomfortable. That is exactly how I felt the knight that I got saved thirty

one years ago. When I came into the House of card I felt like

a wretch. I was unhappy. I was uncomfortable with a way that I

had been living. Now, notice the miserable Matthew when he meets the merciful

Master or the merciful Messiah, that he does not give the Messiah any lip

and simple obedience. He follows when Jesus says, follow me. The Bible

says that Matthew arose from this receipt of custom. In other words, he

stood up off of the seat that he was sitting upon, that he vacated

the premise better Jesse. I believe he looked at his peers, those that

might have been assisting him, or those that might have been in the tax

collectromooth nearby, and he said, adios of megs, I'm going and you

won't see me back to great Charles Crinson fit he done the same thing when

God Almighty got a hold of his miserable soul. His partner in law said

that Charles prayed outside in the forest, and then when he came back to

the law practice of the office said that Charles Cranson Pity walked in there to

his office, collected a few things, that walked by his partner, his

business associate that said, I'm not coming back. I've got to do what

Card has called me a period and if I wanted correctly, this business associate

said, Charles Cranson pity has never seen her in that local officer or deil.

That's not matter if you're a love, but Pharah COT's correct. Would

you had it not? And you're messible at that you will lead this thing

you called this for mercy. There's no doubt that Matthew sits right on.

This is going to be excited. Being hitched up to Christ is going to

be excited. In fact, you read the recording of Saint Matthew in his

gospel, you can see that he felt like the life of Christ was excited.

You can see that he felt like the teachings of Christ were exquisite,

exquisite implies of perfection in workmanship or design. This particular book of the Bible,

Saint Matthew's Gospel, is delightfully excellent to anyone that reads it. Now,

imagine the awesome responsibility that lied upon the shoulders of Matthew after he felt

the auctioning, whether it was expected or unexpected, when he felt the auctioning

of God Almighty standing there looking at him in the light of the eyes,

and approaching that co tax collector's booth and simply saying two words, follow me

now, that would me about her? What Matthew might have felt for the

sad low. The reality of this is there is a mission for somebody that

has been so miserable home teme on. Now, I'm telling somebody in this

building tonight you can go from misery unto ministry after the souls to night.

God can take care of it. Why we're in the altar that God can

take her care of her. Let misery. I fet so misery. I'm

telling you I had a birding this week. It because her, I felt

to your misery, that fearing that to human gloom is there because her.

We're trying to feel her for God's size holder in your heart. With other

faiths, silly self potuture will never feel out space. Imagine the responsibility that

lied upon the shoulders of Matthew after the Holy Ghost auctioned him to follow Jesus,

after the invitation of Jesus to follow me, he followed Jesus. Think

with me of the pressure and the strain, and come on now, He's

not going to be accepted of his peers for very long because of this radical

change. But it appears to me that he was willing to trade are you

with me? He was willing to trade his misery for mercy. He was

willing to trade his misery for ministry, whatever that meant. I remember the

Knight that I came into the church house. It was in the month of

October, in the year nineteen ninety two. Has been a little over thirty

one years now, and I remember saying, God, God, I am

sick and tired of the way I've been feeling. I knew the reason why

I was feeling the way I had been feeling, feeling, the doom and

the tread and the despair. I didn't have an enemy that I knew of

in the world. I had a good job, a good car, a

good Beyonce. I was not the typical center. There was a lot of

things that I have not done, but the issue was some what I was

not doing. How come on? Sometimes we did point to and we focus

on the sins commission, the things that we have committed, but we don't

think about the sins of omission, the things that we have omitted. And

I already been been telling the Lord, if you will take my mesry,

I will kids into the ministry. I will preach a nerd. I will

tell the sinner that Jesus wants us to save this all. I'm pumping with

somebody tonight. You're all too familiar with misery. You're all too familiar with

misery. You don't have to be so uncomfortable in the house of God.

You don't have to be so uncomfortable daring the move of God. You don't

have to be so miserable in the setting of the church. When people are

starting to surrender their wheedles and their minds and their ethics, just everything about

them to God. You don't have to back in a corner and sulk and

just say, God, I'm so miserable. I'm trying to pull for somebody

here tonight. I know that when Matthew saw them opportunity to get the monkey

off his back, he took that opportunity by the pourlocks, embraced it and

said, I Am not gonna loud who's out on this opportunity. And that's

what we need right here in this feting tonight. We need some young man,

there's some young men to realize that there he is an opportunity to get

the monkey off your back. I'm preaching tonight over my miracle. It's up

to you. What are you going to do about it. It's not up

to your daddy, it's not up to the mama. Where your postor for

the evers of the church. My son is still teacher who will not be

able to help you. It is up to you to get that monkey off

yourbaca and to receive your miracle. Can I tell you that when Matthew left

receive it, this miracle, he could thank God. He trained his misery

for mercy. Oh yes, sir, and he trained his misery for a

men short Mercy rewrote my life, the songwriter penned and song Mercy rewrote my

life. I'm reminded of the story that I heard some years ago. I

believe it was the Church of God minister. He was talking on the subject

of mercy, and while he was preaching, he talked about this young man

that had burned about mercy and Sunday School. You Sunday school teachers staying couraged

because these little children they pay attention. He talked about how this one particular

young man had left Sunday school and had followed his grandmother and mother home,

and as he was walking behind his grandmother and his mother, they noticed that

he was lagging behind. And finally the wise grandmother said, mother Jordan,

She said, hey up, stay up with us. Why are you laggering?

Lagging behind? And brother Nathaniel. He said, I'm trying to catch

up. I'm just looking over my shoulder, and she said, well you

better catch up, honey. You're gonna get lost. You're gonna take a

wrong turn, brother Jesse. After while, the grandmother got to watching him.

She just spun around and noticed that he kept looking behind himself as he

meandered on forward. After while, she said, why do you keep looking

back? There is nobody back there and a little boy. He said,

through innocence, he said, well today my son is school. Teacher said,

Miss Shirley Goodness is following me, and I guess it's her sister Mercy

has following me as well. So I've been looking for miss Shirley s h

I r lie Y and her last name is Goodness and her sister Mercy,

but I don't see them. Oh my trail. Better to tell you that

little mind had misheard or what that teacher had taught. But I want you

to know, Matthew, every time you closed the door on the gate to

the te collect your beta and you regretted what you were doing, there was

a messiah that was gonna show up on seeing her come on that sight,

Mercy for satified you look you in my eyes. Let's say, come after.

If you're not true, how come something of the natter? You can

come after, hop your nestling. If you walk to nor saying, we're

saying, come out. Whether that's a true story or not, I do

not know, but I do know that goodness and mercy has followed me.

It's been hard on my trail all the days of my life. You know

the difference between grace and mercy, don't you? Mercy? Is you deserving

something? You know you deserve it. You deserve nothing but judgment and the

penalty of judgment. Whatever judgment demands, you deserve to pay it to the

fullest extent on the law. You pay that price. If it'd spend twenty

years or thirty years of prison, or pay twenty to thirty thousand dollars in

peace as punishment. You deserve it, right well, Mercy as you going

in there in that courtroom and pleading the judge for leniency, and Mercy has

said, I know what I deserve it. You know what Grace says.

It's a merited favor. Praise God. But Mercy came looking for me.

Mercy came running for Jeremy. How the Messiah came looking for me, miserable

Matthew, I'm preaching to you here tonight. I'm telling you God knows all

about your misery, and what you gotta do is getting this altar, and

you gotta please your case, and you gotta plead Jesus thy sight of David

hack Messy, oh man. Their plea wasn't for grace. Their plea was

for mercy. I remember here at one time that a young boy had murdered

his father and his mother, and he had went through the juvenile court system,

judicial system, and they had brought it to trial, and brother Samuel,

just before the judge went to sentence him with a harsh punishment, the

little boy stood up, and I mean little twelve years of age, I

think it was. He stood up and said, your honor, ask for

mercy, Your honor, I ask for mercy. Some of the elder women

in the back of the courtroom, they said, he don't disern mercy.

Anybody that would kill their own father and their mother, dishonor them in that

manner, destroy them, kill them, steal their life, annihilate them,

treat them the way he treated them. He doesn't deserve mercy. And the

judge said, little boy, why should I give you mercy? And the

little mischievous boy it was so miserable, he said, well, sir,

just a little or thie son, I to take the book in hand and

throw them at it. That's abused of mercy. I would have took the

punishment that was harsh and made it two times more severe. There's anybody in

this house, But God can tell the difference of somebody that said, I

plead for mercy because I'm an orphan because of what I've done. But he

can also since that person that has a broken and a contright heart, that

person that has that meek spirit, because of their suffering and their misery,

they have got to the place where they're uncomfortable, wretchedly miserable, uncomfortable with

the way that they're living. Do you know why revival after revival, Sunday

school lesson after Sunday school lesson, sermon after sermon, you do the same

thing, regardless of what God is trying to do for you. That's been

cause you or not yet God miserable enough. But I can tell you a

center out of that world coming in this church, and they're really sick away

they've been living then they weren't five use it is true. It is true

that mercy will rejoice against judgment. Mercy will rejoice against judgment if the recipient

deserves it, if the recipient should receive mercy. There are some convicts,

criminals and inmates, Brother Jesse. They can cry the blues, they can

defend themselves in the court of law. They can take up their own case.

For example, the infamous killer Ted Bundy represented himself. He was his

own lawyer. It did not matter, Brother Jesse, how he twisted it.

It did not matter how demented his mind was. I feel the Holy

Goo sit in this house. Everybody knew during that trial he was insincere.

The judge, the prosecuting attorneys, the eyewitnesses, the forensic people, the

technicians, to staffs, anybody that set in on that trial. They knew

there was no remorse. They knew there was no true repentance going on.

He was simply defending himself and throwing a smoke screen, Brother Jesse. If

the judge had been lenient and released him, there would have been multiple more

murders. Many many parents would have lost their daughters. Spent would have continued

his merciless killing spree. Why would you ask God for mercy when you yourself,

who have not so anyone mercy? That Bible said that only those that

are merciful shall did mercy, those that compressed us in, those that turns

away from them, those that forsake them shall thide mercy. It does not

matter how much you please your case. You can talk to your dad and

your mid and keep them up late and die. Who can text message we

pressed go have a meaning in this office and try to talk about how good

of the mack, how good of a going you are. But unless you

really know, let's just sorry. God knows that you're love. That's true,

the goodness and mercy. See, we're present there for miserable Matthew,

brother Jesse. Also there are some other people in this narrative that needed mercy.

We first had the miserable man Matthew, who got his miracle. Do

you all remember the moment you got your miracle? This is your miracle,

This is your time, This is your hour, This is your miracle moment.

This is your day of salvation, this is your acceptable time. This

is your revival. This is not by the Second's revival. Only he had

his revival in February. There was no status steamer, and we had revival.

You can't afford to miss this, no miracle, no moment. Do

you remember the moment when Christ caught you, when the messiahs standing in front

of miserable Matthew. He had to make a choice when Christ called him better,

Samuel, come with me back to that moment in your living room,

when convictions settled in in February of this year, and you traded your misery

for ministry, and all how you preach tonight, I'm saying thankful to God

that you traded your misery for ministry. The moment of that miracle must have

been great. Do you all remember the very moment when you begin to follow

the Lord. That moment was miraculous. That moment was a great time in

your life. Matthew wrote about it in detail. There. Some of you

can take about the talk about the place where you were converted. There,

some of you can show me the very portile where you were converted and regenerated.

And some of you can take me to the very place in a building

where you pray thrue to old time sactification and holding usta in Drethn. I

want you to know that Matthew left and it took her his peers and contemporary

and say, you may not understand her. Why I had an occupation.

I've changed her. There's something that happened right here in that tis to let

your bo the moment of the miracle, Brother Samuel. When that woman knew

that that issue of blood had stopped man, Oh, sweet love of God,

she knew that he virtue has just flown from him to me. Mercy

made a bridge, I said, Mercy made a bridge between the needy and

the one that had to answer, Oh, come on now. And that's

what happened when Mercy himself personified meant miserable Matthew, I'm talking about the hour

of your miracle is here. You better not look for a certain preacher who

let not search out a certain You better not look for another service to be

that to not service is that parents service. You're suffering because of this isle.

You're suffering. You're a cousin. There After Matthew had been converted,

they went to dinner at Matthew's house and they had a party, because in

heaven the angels have a party anytime one sinner repents. I'm telling you they

rejoiced greatly over mercy meeting that person and granted them their miracle. They have

camp meeting in heaven. The angels in heaven rejoice. Matthew was so excited

about his new found faith and responsibilities that he threw a party. And I'm

sure that some of his peers and contemporaries and people that he rupted shoulders with

on a daily basis, who were also miserable, were there. How do

you know that, Well, if you'll read the context of this narrative,

you will see that the religious leaders described and the Pharisees and the Sadducees came

and they were in attendance up at the distance they were looking on, and

the Bible said that Jesus and his disciples were inside of the house. While

they were inside the house celebrating Matthew's obedience. He's no longer miserable Matthew.

He's Matthew, the disciple of the Lord. He's no longer on the outer

circle. He's in the inner circle of Jesus Christ himself. You're not getting

this. I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt. I feel like God

has told me he wants to take you out of your misery through mercy in

the ministry of some kind. So they're having a celebration, they're partying.

I can tell you Matthew probably doesn't like Zacchius just through a big party.

Everybody's invited. He's so new in the faith. He doesn't even know that

evil communication, correct good manners. He's so new in the faith. He's

hugging men and women and everybody. Total complete innocence. You ever see those

guys that come in from the world. They don't know anything about church etiquette,

oh brother, or church ethics or anything they get said. They want

to hug everything and everybody in the path. You'll find him hugging the pull

tent old Matthew is no longer miserable. Let's party about, Let's have a

dinner. And we find right here where them religious leaders. They begin to

say to the disciples, they didn't speak directly to Jesus. You know why,

because the Bible said that Jesus had already spoke to the scribes at one

point in time and told them about their stinking thinking. He had told them

what was in their mind. And there is no doubt in my mind,

and all about it. In those cribes, Pharisees and Sadducees knew at this

time if I speak directly that Jesus along these lines and ask him personally,

why are you in this man's house? He is a publican, he's a

sinner, he's a tax collector. Why are you in this trader's house?

They knew that Jesus would give them a good, verible slap in the face.

After all, Jesus just knows what is in their minds. He can

read their thoughts, and the Letter did reading their thoughts. In fact,

he told these religious leaders he said, what what's easier for me to do?

I mean tithing again, brother Jesse, tithing again. In that narrative,

Jesus is reading people's minds, He's revealing their thoughts. How many of

you know the Bible said he knows the thoughts and the intents of the heart.

Do you all believe it? Well, that's a good thing. If

your intentions are pure, that's a wonderful thing. If your motives are pure,

If you don't have altering motives, you don't have to be like these

cribes and Phariseesus adjuses and be worried about what Jesus is thinking. Because he

knows what you're thinking. I love you your thrink's truth. If you look

at verse number twelve, you'll see that Jesus said, Hey, they that

be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick. The Lord

felt it was his responsibility to take action and to help others. Matthew shouldered

the responsibility of becoming a disciple. There is no way that was an easy

undertaker. It couldn't have been, Brother Jesse. As I read the rest

of this gospel, and read the other gospels, and just read the Acts

of the Apostles, I realized that what Matthew got himself into was some deep

water. But apparently, brother road Cap, it's better to be in deep

water with Jesus than it is to be sitting in the Romans tax collector booth.

And that's what I'm saying. As long as you're trying to bridge a

gap between you and the church, or the world and the church, as

long as your fellowship in darkness and they're trying to come in and fellowship,

like as long as you're trying to drink out of a fountain sweet water and

a bitter fresh and salt. You're gonna be miserable. Every one of these

people that have prayed through, Brother Richard Jacob, you was on it tonight.

Every one of these people that have prayed through got to the place where

they're sick and tired of it. The whole need not a position, but

they that are sick. I'm talking to some sick minds tonight. I'm talking

to some sick people tonight. I'm talking tough, some tormented souls. Tonight,

I'm talking to some miserable people. You're not okay. There's no sense

in you standing there holding your composure, sitting there holding your composer. You

are miserable. Why don't you learn the ways of a godly man and learn

how to get into the altar and really rerend your heart and say God,

I am wretched, God, I am richedly uncomfortable. I'm rich, and

they're unhappy. I am miserable. Oh come on, now, there's some

people out there that just seem to be having a great time on the highway

to help. There's some people out there, Brother Jonathan, they just don't

seem to be miserable at all. They're not having to take medication to sleep

at night. They're not taking uppers or down theres. They just seem to

be content on the highway to Hell. But I'm preaching to somebody tonight that

is sick. In our text, we read of some blind men that needed

help. I knew that they were miserable. I knew they could not stand

it. I don't know why they were blind. Some of the religious leaders

had thought at times, and people were born blind. You'll find evidence of

this in the scripture because of the sin of the parents. Did this happen

because mom and dad's a sinner? What was the call of this blindness?

Weren't just read back Himno, there's a song in there that goes like this,

sin is to blame, Sin is to blame. It's yours own it.

Confess it, forsaken, turn from it, hate it, despise it.

Those things that you love, start hating those things that you don't like,

start loving, fall in love with God. We'll do what we need

to do. We'll bear one another's burdens and we'll so fulfill the law Christ.

We'll preach to you, we'll pray for you. We'll tarry all afternoon

at the church between services, because we sense your suffering. We sense your

misery and I'm trying to preach it out there as mercy for your misery,

and that your miracle is right around the corner. But I'm telling you,

unless you get sick and tired of it, the hall need not a position.

But they that aren't set. Jesus was saying, Matthew co say,

I know what he's talking about. Jeremy how To saying in October from nineteen

ninety two, I know what the preachers talking about. If you ain't missable

and you're comfortable on the high way, the hell you want to ask God

to make your life comfortable with it. If you are sick of it,

ask God. Damn if you get sick of it. Or if I just

had the energy and the street to preach tonight, I have to tear it

our whole day long. I just don't have the energy. Perhaps it would

have been wisdom to go home, but I don't think so got have to

hear you will testify about the spiritual streak that we all have received. I

have received a lot of spiritual strength this day. But mom Voyce, after

all that praying and preaching, it's just gone. But really there's been enough

preaching right now for that one that's sick and tired to approach the altar is

collapsing with the altar. I'm says him out having a hand of death,

I says a tiller with sin. I'll sick. I not set a pide.

I'm sick. I'm sick, tired all that I'm set on that.

I can old both See Matthew kicking the gate on the door of that tax

collector booth closed. I don't believe he delicately closed the door on his trap

or his snare. Brother Jarthan opened that door. Now, don't break that

door, but shut it forcefully. That wasn't forcefully, that's too nicely close

that door. There you go, do that again. What's his problem?

That Galilean come down here? Jesus came down here and approached his food because

Jesus and the Holy girls never miss it. I could stand in front of

you tonight. I can put my toes on your toes. There are tips

of my shoes on the tips of your shoes. I can stand at the

end of reprove that ply you to the altar. But until you open the

door, have not task collect the booth. Until you as a blind man

stand up and say, Jesus, God said up, David, how bsting?

Oh day. Matthew's the one I love about these blind people. I'm

sure Matthew was familiar with the misery that these men were expressing. How is

it that blind men could see things that the religious leaders of that day could

not see? How is it that a preacher to life could understand the need

of somebody in disbaulty that arthurs cannot see. The Bible described it best like

this. Blind leaders, they do not see the things that they need to

see, are adding to keep people out of the ditcher. I am not

air boxing the night. I love fighting there. That's running a pitch t

air. I'm telling you you're miserable. Honna tell you all that, car

I have to face like. We're not gonna have delivers as long as you're

interested in saving face. I'm gonna bear my brother's burdens. I'm gonna fulfill

the Molo Christ, but I'm not gonna bear all of your burden. It's

gonna be up to you. I'm not gonna let you shoulder half of it,

me shoulder the other half. I'm gonna help you the best I can

while I can. But the truth of the matter is, the monkey is

on your back. Do you know that sometimes when an attic is struggling with

drug addiction, people in this world just say he's got a monkey on his

back, meaning that's a situation that is out of his control. I wonder

how many times did Matthew open the door and close it and say, if

I could just get out from this, if I could just get detached from

this. But you gotta know who he was working for. You gotta know

all if I had a voice said, you gotta know who his boss was.

Hey, it ain't just like you quit. You quit, you end

up in a roam in prison that yous ain't gonna have because they ain't gonna

like him. I mean, he's torn between two. But you know,

according to the scripture and the man that he become, and the fact that

the Lord anointed him of all of his disciples that was in his inner circle,

the Lord annoted him to be the bridge between the Old and the New

Testaments. Hey, come on, I'm telling you you know that this man

was not happy about opening the door. Have closed it every day. I'm

sure sometimes he took that money that he felt so bad about it, he

probably felt us killed too. That's tunous, that's scary it. Then,

Oh, come on, now, tunes must nothing sick enough. I said

to this fu that's gotten set that I want to preach to you. I

want to preach to you. I got so much more to preach. I'd

say it's safe for us to report and say that this man was sick and

tired of his position and his lifestyle. Jeremy, if I could ever get

out from under this letter, Jeremy, if I could ever stop being an

underwater welder, if I could ever stop dying and welding, putting in reinforcements

underneath bridges, I could. If I could, I would. I'm telling

you, Jeremy, I've heard it, brother Yester. They looking for a

way out. If I could make the same pay and I could do forty

hours a week, I would. I'm telling you. You have told lie

after lie after lie after lie, and you said, God, if you'll

get me out of this mess, if you'll get me out of this fix.

But one thing can be said about Matthew. When Jesus stood in front

of him, as he said in his pew, if you would Matthew got

up right then and there and followed the Lord. What about the blind men?

What about it? What did it say in our text? According to

life faith? Brother? What's with me? According to thy faith? The

blind men? I'm just now getting to my text. I wanted to talk

about the miserable tactical actor Matthew and the miserable blind people. They meet the

Messiah and they get their mirrors at their appointed time. Do you realize if

there isn't an acceptable time, there is also an unacceptable time. Because when

I put the unacceptable acceptable in front of it, and now is the time,

well, I'll do it when I feel like it. No man comes

to the Father, he set the spirit drawing him. The responsibility is yours.

It's called free. Will you know why my boys is so tough and

I speak as a fool, and I need to slow it down for my

voice sake, Brother Cayler. But there were times that wisdom told me when

they had a disagreement. Very few times, but there was times that their

mother would go to get up to deal with it when they were eight,

ten, and twelve years old, and I'd put my hand on her knee

and I'd say upset it, and when they came to blows, I would

look to see if at some point they would have mercy on their opponent and

feel bad. There's some of you so sensitive. It's a wonder you don't

pull your nail kit out of your own purse and I'm talking to you guys,

and paint your nails there in church. You're so sensitive. You know

why that is because your mama didn't let your brother beat the tar out of

you. It's your mama's fault. But you know what, the monkey ain't

on mama's back, so you can love well God, I'll feel that the

mean streak you mean right now? Yeah, h I think that that older

brother would have been allowed to grind you a face in the front yard a

little bit made the spirit of Jeremiah will come on home day up now it's

quiet them. So it's everybody's fault while we're in the shape that we're in,

while we're in the condition we're in. That's why he's so sixy so

touching. Brother Sam gonna use big bat strong, you know. But I

used to watch Jeremiah pick on Jesse. I ever advocated, nor did I

encourage my boys wrestling tussling or fighting. I've never done that with them.

That's not how you make them in, that's how you put competition in your

spirits. I never even encouraged him to arm wrestle to see who was the

strongest. I don't care who's the strongest. I don't care who's the best

looking. That's his foolish is getting all along to standing there and say,

mirror room, mirror, all, no wall, which one is the best

looking of him? All? Who cares who's the strongest? Who cares who's

the best looking? I mean, I never had to pull their piggy banks

out and see who's the best safer. I know we're all tired of who's

tearing. You can tell I'm tired. I'm geting out of gas. So

now I'm teaching my brother Jeremiah. He's the older brother. He's picking,

picking, picking, and so I I told him, sister, how I

said, one day, One day, Jesse's gonna have enough of that.

Right now, it's just youring my Mike Tyson. Wow. Instantly Jesse wentn't

screaming and convulsive. And as long as Mama picked that up and babied him,

bam boy, Jeri mine bam boy during Mine bad Boy, Jeremia,

Jesse's gonna love that, and Jesse's gonna get picked on indefinitely. But I

preached a seven years ago when we were out and we're telling to take the

bully bout a hornch and I wouldn't not have guessed then I am tonight.

I confess, Thank God for your sakes. But brother Gabriel, I Toldster

Howard, I said, let it leaves one time. Particularly, I could

tell that Jesse's about four years old. That has got Mica his age.

He got about the age of four, you knowld Jeremiah, come on there,

jab this and jab dot, make it him cry. And Jesse just

reached his center point and gave Jeremiah haven and Jeremiah grabbed his face and the

look of shock, Bronister, It's like, I can't believe he did that.

And then you know the way reaction he goes to screaming, bloody murder,

you hitting me. Well, you had it coming to you, Jeremiah,

you had it coming to you. And that's what's gonna happen with little

Maxon Malacha. I likes to pick on Maxon. I've noticed that. And

so one of these days. Maxon just turned one years old, and you

can tell that Maxon's personality has changed. That is his name, Maxon,

right, I call him max On me. I can tell her that one

of these days and Max's gonna get him by the head and the hair,

and it's gonna be on that half was. I'm not advocating you guys.

I'm gonna tell you young guys, come after me. I won't. I

always had a bat, little short bat in my car. You come after

me, I'm gonna knock you out. My uncle Steve taught me years ago

to keep that big old round club in the door of my car. You're

gonna be surprised when you wake up and see loser for face to face.

I'm not saying we have enough and I'm gonna find me challenge somebody out in

the church yard. I'm talking about win. Are you gonna have enough that

you'll finally blow up to the devil? I wish I had energy of your

home. It's the devil. It's not your brother, it's not your sister.

It's me, O God. This is spiritual warfare. It's between you

and the devil. At my best, I can lean over the ropes and

say, hen even again, Taler, kick em again, Taler. There's

some things I can't fight for you. There's some battles I can't engage to

you. I'm telling you I feel the power of God. He must filled

him the right. This is your fight. This up to you that blind

people will triple They were guess ain't no, yes, But there was there

stung, he was there, miss say it was that battle. It was

that time. This is your fight. The Kingdom of Heaven suffered violets and

the violet taking buck off. Why are these blind men having the same?

Have mercy owed me? Thou son of David? How do they know his

identity? How do they know? They're blind? They haven't read the genealogy

about you and had not been printed yet. How do they know the cause?

They heard the testimonies of others that were following you. Come on following

you. I'm telling you they believe faith cometh by her, not see but

hearing the word of God. You word it out, brother, take you

pray for me. If I just had the voice to preach es Tom,

well, well, when I see this happen, then I'll believe. How

did they know he was Jesus the Christ, the son of the Living God.

I heard a rabbi say recently. He said, the reason why we

don't accept Jesus Christ as Messiah, he said, because he's not in the

lineage of David, and you're supposed to be a scholar and a religious leader

in a rabbi amongst the Jews, judaytl and I can read Matthew's Gospel,

and right off the bat, Matthew makes it very clear. Now I know

that maybe the first few chapters of this blessed Book of the Bible had definitely

been the information that he gleaned from eyewitnesses, because at some point he gets

called into the life of the ministry of Jesus. But there was some things

he was a personal eye witness to. But you know what, I don't

really think that he was watching all of the notable miracles of Jesus and keeping

a record book of it, seeing the things that you all see. Jesus

went passing by that tax collective mooth every day. He was seeing the blind

healed, he was seeing the lame walking. He watched seeing that on the

day the bassist, somebody who's seen the power of God move served us acts

see it is not believe it believe, it is seeing. If thou cat'st

believe this found in Saint Marks Gospel, the ninth chapter, Take you Holy

Goes. Jesus told that one if thou canst believe, all things aren't possible.

You've got to believe in this service tonight. You gotta pray. There's

a reason why the Saints terry weeping like God. He is off the subject.

There's a reason why our preacher is preaching through foul twilty. There's a

reason why our creature is preaching through weakness. There's a reason why we prayed

for six hours the Lord God in the faces of these two black men.

How do you know this because I noticed and I talked about this, dear

in our camp meet. Anytime there was a great healing in place, Brother

Philip, anytime somebody got their miracle, there was always a believe for mercy.

Every time I have experienced a healing in my life. And there's some

notable miracles. Brother Samuel asked me the other day if we could put recordings

of the notable miracles that have happened in our family. I believe I will

grant the request of Brother Samuel and we will sit down as a family and

in their future and walk through the notable miracles that God has done for our

family in our hour of trials, testing, calamity, persecution, tribulation.

Our God was faithful, brother Yes said, and he always showed up.

But we recognized our hour, I said, we recognized our hour. This

sermon is tirled my miracle. You need to stop thinking about my monkey.

You need to stop thinking about my misery. You need to start thinking about

my hour of mercy, my hour of the Messiah, my hour of ministry.

It is time to do something. It's time to be up and about

the Father's business. Right now, you're fantasizing about standing up here doing what

I'm doing. That's not how it happens. That is not how it happens.

God will never save you or transform you as long as you're fantasizing about

ministry. But I'm telling you, when you get miserable and sick and tired

of your sin, is still telling what God who will be need you when

he sees you're tired of it. I know, brother Jesse, that the

Lord got in the face of these fine men because the Bible said he asked

them to do something the Bible said that they were crying, and as they

were crying, they said, now if you noticed our text the Bible said,

and they cried and said, I've seen a bunch of that, brother

Jesse crocodile tears. Do y'all remember that message. I've seen a bunch of

tears shed and brother gave her. When I got down, I could tell

they were knock getting down the business with God. I could tell there was

no true repentance. There was nobody saying I'm sorry for this that everything that

offended you God. I don't even remember it all, but I'm sorry.

Listen, the Bible said. They were crying, and they were also saying,

yes, tears are languish that God understand. We already preached that message.

But there's something you got to say to God. Why don't you try

it? It works, Jesus, thou son, have David, have mercy,

O me, that's my brother mass Whether it works or not, identify

him, that's your Messiah. Identify him. For the Linians, Herdab recognized

through this standing there, proud of you? Did they really mean? It

was the voice of faith speaking through these men. Jesus wanted to know is

the voice of faith really speaking through these words? Are their tears representatives or

ambassadors of their heart? Are they really really really believing that I'm able to

do this? That y'all see that in our golden texts, Jesus said,

believe you that I am able to do this. And as long as you

don't believe that you can be saved, safetified, holy ghost field, or

be healed, it's not going to happen. That's where we're at with a

sister Irish, I prayed and I sought the Lord, and as long as

you feel like it's impossible, it's not going to happen. The atmosphere in

this building can change right now with one person really believe it. You know

why I preach like I do, even though I have issues at times,

because I truly practice what I preach and I truly believe that in a moment

of the annoyty that moment. Do you remember the moment when Jesus called you?

Do you remember do you understand this is your moment? Do you realize

it may take another six months or another six years, that God could come

back by and the world could be in chaos and could liam it in before

he makes up revolution. It's true that it's that surely goodness and mercy shall

follow me all the days of my life. It is true that his mercies

are renewed every morning, every cycle, every twenty four hour period, his

mercy is renewed. But is his grace and mercy? Prays it to open

blinded eyes that every model legion would they have been able to have the same

opportunity for next what not? You not the same my purpunity in the next

day? What? Ten thousand times? No? He they worked out to

have had the same opportunity. Jesus wanting to know, do you really mean

it? Do you really mean it? Do you believe that I am able

to do this? And their answer wasn't Mom set up with me till morn

And let me tell you how depressed that. Let me tell you how don't

fit into the youth group. Let me tell you how I'm having a hard

time finding a job. Let me tell you how hard it is right now

for me to get a pluses. Let me tell you right now how hard

it is for me right now to have peace of mind. That was none

of this, They plead it with a master, have mercy I'm telling you

this just the moment of their miracle. Have mercy, Have mercy. God

can cause you to suffer enough that you will plead for mercy. I'm telling

you I've seen catsup sens prepared flee for mercy. I saw somebody on the

floor where Brother Philip was. They weren't vomiting. I think Sister Lizabeth said

they were vomited enough blood, just one viment after another, just losing life.

Who losing blod Oh come on, now, you might as well plead

for mercy at night and not late. I only say that, Brother Philip,

because your situation said. Fine, I don't believe you're not crying out

for mercy. It doesn't matter if you say, physician, have mercy.

That's what the woman with the issue of blood she had said, Have mercy

on me, please, I'll I'll pay whatever is needed. I'll give you

everything, all of my living, almost squandering. I won't pay it,

knowing you can't help me. I'll do anything. Have mercy on. I

mean she was pleading for mercy already. God could get you in that situation

where you beg for mercy. Has everybody had a genuine toothak I remember one

night in particular, I had a twotheche so severe. I had just preached

and felt the naunting and it had subsided abated, Brother Jesse. I got

home, no sooner got home, steffed in my living room, and it

felt like a bomb went off in my head. I remember going to the

bathroom and grabbing the side of my head and I'm hurting right now as I

preach, I don't have a little tolerance to pain. But I remember saying,

I'm about to lose my mind. That nerve was set off so severely,

Brother Jesse. Then on top of that, I thought, you're not

thinking right. I was not thinking, ed, Brother Nathaniel. I thought

I needed to pour listerine in there. And so what was already an inflamed

and irritated nerve, ending, I put gasoline to it, so to speak.

And I remember sister wounding at one point, grabbing my forehead and blacken

out and saying God, God, Brother Nathaniel, you have the testimony of

having the same experience with a severe toothache. They say the nerves and our

jawels are very long and very big. Brother Nathaniel testifies about one night it

was set off and the nerve was letting him know that it's there, and

Brother Nathaniel said he cried out to God had mercy, and instantly, in

a moment, the pain was subsidy a plea for mercy. This tells me

that Brother Nathaniel believe that God was able to do it. I said,

I'm preaching right now despite frailty and weakness of preing all afternoon where you are,

because I don't believe in energy that comes from the Holy world. I

believe eve our help coming from the Lord. I'm telling you. I mean

what I'm preaching right now here tonight. God wants the help. We're guilty

and turning in prayer request and never praying about it ourselves. We're guilty in

turning in ingrown toe now prayer request. See I got an ingrown toe now,

and then not pray about it all week long. We make it a

church problem. We make it a church issue. It's not the church's problem

if your shoes are too small, this issue is yours. This monkey on

your back, I asked the boys. I said, Tony, you don't

have a big stuffed animal, a monkey that y'all can bring me where I

can walk around and preach this tonight with that monkey. I gotta get this

monkey up my back. Only Jesus could get you out of the tax collector

booth. And the Roman officials and the religious leaders have nothing to say about

it. You will remember hearing some of them did not want to touch Jesus

in mag You remember some of their wives came to them and said, hey,

have nothing to do with that man. I have been haunted during the

night because of that man. I have dreamed dreams, doctor, dreamed actor

dreams because of this miracle worker. The miracle worker is the one that has

unctioned us today to pray for you. Now we're going to illustrate this.

Come here, brother Samuel, and come in brother time. I want both

of you to close your eyes as tired as you forget them up their my

squeeze them together as tight as you could get them. Now, I want

you guys to follow me. Don't you cheat and keeping my brother sam And

you thought you were gonna have to take sister Meg into the yard, and

I you stumbled to hit the corner of this pulpit. You gonna go to

the yard with flits. Let's gone these stitches. Follow me, Matthew the

Bible said that Jesus went into a house. Jesus went into a house a

sister Whitner's some of them that would give up, and some of this building

would have already given up. But I picked too. If we were playing

hot potato, Tyler would be cold, cold corps and be getting hired than

are tied. They following me now, two blind men. Now, Brother

Sam, to open your eyes real quick, look at where you're at.

Title, open your eyes real quick. Look where you're at. I'm over

here. You meet right there in front of that pool pit. All right,

guys, I know we don't hold hands, lock kind of armed shoulders

like that. Close y as tied as you can now. I believe sister

would because they were both at the house. They both went to the house

where Jesus was, and those two blind men, brother Nathan, were hollering

Jesus, their son and David have mercy. Now you'll imagine the Son of

God is in the house. They know he's the son of God. I

know who had us praying this afternoon, the Son of God. Did I

know what he had felt all day? I know what we felt this morning.

Sam and Tyler, begin your search I'll give you a little bit of

a hint. That's right by the samu steer him in the right direction.

I'm over here at the amen corner. Jesus wants you to seek him.

Jesus is in the house now, I'm sure, and some of you see

I'm forty feet away from them. I'm over here in the views and they

are now climbing the platform. The homeowner was probably told hodd nuts or any

plant that out there. They're trying to find the door. So when you

get to the pl when you get to the point that it's hopeless, and

you realize there's no way I'm gonna get what I need unless I call on

him. This fumbling around and stumbling ain't gonna get it. There they are

twenty feet away from me. So when Jesus came to that tax collector booth,

miserable Matthew stood right up. He knew Jesus had somewhat to offer.

Y'all see these guys, they're fumbling around, they're stumbling around, they're blind,

they can't see. Brother, They're twenty five feet away from me.

They're hugging the statue in the front yard, so to speak. They're going

through the rose garden. Now that hurt and brother sam and just said I

laid a hand on him. Now that woman that pressed her way through the

crowd had the advantage of looking and laying her hand on Jesus. But guys,

take your hands off of me. Perhaps one of them had touched him,

Sister Walker, but he knew they were not serious enough. I've had

young men before, ASPC. Can I work for you? Can I'm vork

for you? And they I looked They're fixing and do it in the next

thirty minutes. And then three days later I realized they have not done it.

They really did not want to work. They just wanted to know if

I was interested in using their service. But they were not interested, as

though they supposed or pretending that they were ready to work in the next hour.

Oh, come on, this is deep money. There's a lot of

people say, oh, we're having revival. The holy Ghost is being dished

out from the heavenly Bucphaheim. Oh, Brother Jesse got the Holy ghosts her

head, Brother seven, you've got the holy ghost. Oh, brother Game,

we got the Holy ghosts. I think I've walked the Holy Ghost.

I'm not gonna walk overs tonight because brother Caleb's eating cords. I'm gonna want

cbs because I won't cold, I said the other day. The only thing

La Belle's missing is the covers, and so just the fact that they might

have felt him or touched him, Jesus was not going to be the seed

by that. But whenever they cried out, you guys haven't started cried out

yet. I could Sister Wood's feeling that some of you is dead and his

color blood to may. I'm early to church, church stutches sis, I'm

here at five o'clock or the lot has a flat cause to the church are

in law, so I met hurry out there in five pills, Jesus,

Jesus, I need the Holy North. Jesus, I need the Holy North.

I mean they crelaim it quite the seed to five Lord together arm in

Lord, cried out, Jesus, I know I can't read you all into

how long. I can't see the way you are. I don't even know

your parents, but I know your identity. How could this cloud you live

the best of them. You are the son of David. You are the

Messiah. You are the acid of my problem. You are the sid said

I said at that point, brother saying him Jesus approached so and could you

imagine how beautiful it must have been? With his voice, the tone of

his voice, he said, believe he that I'm able to do this.

The moment of a miracle not to happen, I said, My brother Gabriel

was sinking the Holy Ghost, and I said, Lord, I feel like

the moment of the miracle. That's right here. And I felt like a

spiritual midwife. And I stepped into the operating wing, if you would,

and we delivered a baby. And I remember Brother Roquat saying, we ain't

gonna stop praying till we delivered. It was about fifteen minutes later. He

was lost in the spirit, rolling in the floor, speaking in a heavenly

language for a good two hours, not wanting to leave church, not worried

about what time it was, the moment of his miracle, Brother saying,

you know, I want everybody to look at you right now. Y'all are

still blind, can't see anything. Kevin, when he said, believe you

that I'm able to do this, I'll tell you what. They probably got

the pattern to each other on the back h the moment of the miracle is

here. I'm preaching it night over my miracle, not as excited as Matthew.

God. Just to how we're gonna realize. I ain't gonna be known

as a tax collector. My epithat ain't gonna read Matthew the tax collector.

My epithaph is gonna read Saint Matthew's gospel all my wheels out here. I
