With me to the Book of Second Chronicles. May I direct your attention to
-
the seventeenth chapter and the ninth verse. Again, everybody looks like they're having
-
a wonderful time in the presence of the Lord. Tonight. I see smiles
-
on so many faces except for that baby's right there, a man, And
-
now I see more smiles upon more faces. God has been good to his
-
people, Brother Nathaniel, Acts chapter number four, Verse number thirteen, Brother
-
Jesse, Salm Chapter number seventy eight and verses number five through eight. Does
-
anybody have an idea of the sermon that I preached last Sunday morning? Personalized
-
Praise? Does anybody have an idea what the title was for last Sunday ninth
-
sermon? Assembly Required? Great job? Brother Wood? Does anybody have an
-
idea of what the title was for this past Wednesday Night's message? What was
-
it? Brother Jesse? The noble brethren of Berea, How many of you
-
appreciate those Berean brethren. They were those that would search the scriptures. They
-
were those that would look into what was being preached. They didn't just believe
-
any and everything that they heard. They were studios. And I appreciate you
-
being students of the Word. With all of that being said, thank you
-
so much for paying attention. Brother Nathaniel acts chapter number four and verse number
-
thirteen. Now, when they saw the boldness of Peter and John and perceived
-
that they were unlearning, ignorant men, they marveled, and they took knowledge
-
of them that they had been with Jesus. They did not like the fact
-
that these men were so confident in their holy boldness to challenge religious leaders and
-
their ideologies. But they knew that these men had been with the Teacher of
-
teachers. Brother Jesse saw chapter number seventy eight, Verses number five through eight,
-
for he established a testimony in Jacob and appointed a law in Israel which
-
he commanded our fathers that they should make them known unto their children, not
-
the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born,
-
who should arise and declare them to their children, that they might see
-
their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep
-
His commandments, and might not be as their fathers a stubborn and rebellious generation,
-
a generation that set up their heart to right, and whose spirit was
-
not steadfast with God. So after listening to the reading of the Bible by
-
brother Jesse saw Them seventy eight five through eight, we can conclude that it
-
is the will of God that the present generation teach or instruct the future generation.
-
May we stand for the reading of our text to nine Second Chronicles,
-
chapter number seventeen and verse number nine. And the Bible says that they talked
-
in Judah and had the book of the Law of the Lord with them,
-
and went about throughout all the cities of Judah and taught the people. Let's
-
pray, Heavenly Father, we love and we praise you. We thank you
-
for the opportunity to be in the house of the Lord tonight. I pray
-
that you would anoint this thy servants and a guard in my mouth, and
-
help me to say the things that you would happen to say, nothing more
-
or less. Anoint the ears of this thy people, that they might hear
-
what the spirits saith or to the church is through this blessed word of God
-
Lord, not my words only, but your words. I pray that these
-
saands go down below the shoulders, let them get in the heart, let
-
them get in the soul and in the mind. I pray that they would
-
not be hearers only, but help them to heed what it is the Holy
-
Ghost is speaking to some tonight, if not all, we'll give you all
-
of the praise and all of the glory in Jesus' name. And the Church
-
said, hey, man, you may be seated. Look at your neighbor
-
and say, hey, neighbor, did you know the teacher makes the difference?
-
Hey, neighbor, did you know the teacher makes the difference. Our
-
text is found in an Old Testament book of the Holy Bible, the Book
-
of Second Chronicles. As the Bible readers read this sacred writing, they're taken
-
back in time. Read about King Solomon, the beloved son of David,
-
ascending to the throne of power. A throne of his father was certainly a
-
powerful throne. For any throne that David, the sweet son mister of Israel
-
had set upon must have certainly been a sign of power to any people.
-
And no doubt, when King Solomon set upon the throne of his father David,
-
it made a very great statement to the nation of Israel. So if
-
I'm that King Solomon ascended to the throne of his father David, legitimately there's
-
a lot of people today in places of power and position illegitimately. There's people
-
in positions of authority illegitimately. There's some of you in this building that have
-
proposed to me that this past presidential election was stolen. I do not know
-
if that is the truth or not. But there are people throughout this world
-
people for why that feels like this current presidential administration is in a position and
-
a place of power illegitimately. But we find that King Solomon was in such
-
a place the position of power legitimately. We also find that other descendants of
-
King David ascended to the throne legitimately. One of the legitimate ways that they
-
would ascend to the throne of power of their forefather was because of the death
-
of that one that went before them. We can find that after the death
-
of Asa the King, the character before us tonight name of Jehasavat ascended to
-
the throne of David. We find that this chronicler kept a careful focus upon
-
David. The dividict lineage was a very special thing for this chronicler. It
-
seemed like the author of this writing focused for on the Kingdom of Judah.
-
After that great division among the monarchies of David and Solomon. In other words,
-
when the nation of Israel that had been unified under the leadership of David
-
and Solomon was divided, then we find that this chronicler began to follow the
-
life of David and his descendants more closely. He did not so much get
-
distracted with what was going on with what if you would say, those that
-
were outside of the will of God. There is no doubt there is a
-
biblical record and there are much writings talking about those people that were attempting to
-
operate outside of the will of God. But you'll find that the primary focus
-
of this chronicler is upon the great men that are of the lineage of David.
-
Again, the dividic bloodline is being traced very carefully, and so the
-
offspring of David reigned over Israel. The only one that reigned over a united
-
kingdom was Solovon. And then we find additional offspring to David reigning over the
-
nation of Judah. We find that there were some of those kings that were
-
mindful of the laws of God. In our Bible reading tonight, we read
-
of those that were willing to teach others about the laws of God. In
-
our codtext, brother Jesse and Brother Nathaniel read to us of men that have
-
been taught and those that felt it was important to teach upcoming generations concerning the
-
law of God. I wonder how many people in this world today are trying
-
their best to teach their children of the things of God. I wonder how
-
many parents, and national leaders, and even leaders of small towns are doing
-
their best to instruct the people that are under their influence. The people they're
-
making forever impressions upon the things of God. We find here that the chronicler
-
let us know that Jehasipath was a man that realized, I must instruct these
-
people properly. If they are not instructed properly, truly, this nation will
-
be turned into hell. The Bible said that the nation that forgets O forsake
-
God shall be turned into hell. And so this chronicler have done a great
-
job informing us, the readers, of what happens to the nation that fails
-
to keep the laws of Almighty God. If the people of the nations of
-
Israel and Judah put the Lord first, and they were blessed. Evidently,
-
so as we read the writings, we conceive that those people that put God
-
in God's word first, those that made it a priority in their life,
-
those that allow the authority of the Word of God to govern their family and
-
national affairs, no doubt, undoubtedly they were the blessed people of the Lord.
-
Those that pursuit the commandments of God, those that refused to read them,
-
those are refused to hear and heed them, were people that lost out
-
with God. They were not recipients of a blessing. No, there were
-
recipients of a purson. I'm like to put special emphasis right now upon the
-
authority of the word of God. It does not matter what king decrees what
-
It does not matter what arth in it says, what law, what decree
-
is given from some sort of royal authority, whether that person has descended to
-
that place her position of power legitimately or illegitimately. Their word should never contradict
-
to the word of God. And a time when the word of the Pope,
-
any other national leader, the word contradicts the word of God, we
-
are to disregard the words of such leaders and to put the authority on the
-
word of God. The authority of the word of God is a very serious
-
topica that is being neglected in most churches. You don't hear very many people
-
any more preaching or teaching on the topica or the authority of the Word of
-
God. It used to be the people who call them self believers read something
-
that was written in the Word of God. They changed their lifestyle, that
-
made certain adjustments in order not to appear God, I mean to not keep
-
his sayings, to not listen the accent of stubbornness and rebellion. And we
-
proud that the nations of Israel and Junor struggled immensely and incessantly as lone as
-
they did not allow God's word to stand center stage in their nation. I
-
want you to know that the character refers tonight is jehasa fat He is nobody's
-
fool. He's a wise man that realizes Deeved operated in a different ways that
-
must people do. My grandfather was one. He's heart painted after God.
-
He was one that desired that the Lord was speaking his word into his heart.
-
And by some of the solencet work men that were quite fond of the
-
word of God. All of the biblical sovis worth quite fond of the Word
-
of God. Every songwriter you found their sons or the songs of books of
-
poetry in the sacred written they're very fond of on the words of God.
-
One man sat concerning the word of God, that I word is a lamping
-
to my feet and a life to hang to my path. You know what
-
happens and when a nation puts God out, when they take the lamp or
-
the word of God and they've turned it off, and they'll shove it out,
-
and they admits, you know what they find themselves doing. They found
-
themselves grouping in the darkness. They found themselves stumbling. They're not walking anymore
-
as children off the light. No, they're living in a dark world,
-
as children of darkness. How about at that? How about it, Bob,
-
how about a preacher? How about a teacher? He don't want you're
-
cheering grouping in the backness. He don't want your cheering in the study on
-
the pathway of life? Or what you like them to be able to place
-
their foot in an evil place? What you lick for them to be able
-
to put the next foot down and take one step at a time and know
-
that they are in the pass of righteousness, that they're walking in a right
-
way, a way that God has sent to me in I don't care about
-
the Broadway. I don't care about the Broadway. I don't care about what
-
to love your word he's doing and ask for me. I choose the strait
-
in their own way. Jehosipate is a key, really, truly, everything
-
is at his fingertips. He can sin, or he could choose not to
-
sin. His will power to do right must have been strong, because it
-
would have been very convenient for such a man of power to do things that
-
were ungodly and unwholesome. But this man, the son of King Aesa,
-
he grew to power legitimately. He arises to the throne of Asa legitimately.
-
Oh come on, now, you're not getting this here tonight. You see,
-
after the death of his father, after the monarchy of David and Solomon
-
were divided under the leadership of Gray home for them, several of David's descendants
-
began to reign in Judah. And now this young man, Jehosipac comes to
-
power. He looks to the right season nation that's crumbling, and he looks
-
to the leftom and he sees another nation that is crumbling. Both nations have
-
claimed the be people that belong to God. Both nations claim Jehomer as their
-
lord. Both nations believe her that the law of com is in the spiritual
-
libraries. Both the Nasons would say that we are people of the God of
-
Moses. We are people of the God of Abraham. They would go on
-
to say that we are the children of God were man than the os springs
-
are dated, We're the aufspring of God. Where he looks and realizes sin
-
is destroying this people the same way Sein, he's destroying homes and families and
-
nations today. If you throw the Bible out, you're gonnapind God throwing you
-
out. I said, if you cost called out, you're gonnappind Cad tossing
-
you out. Must get a hold of the sacred writing for all societies,
-
for all generations, the sacred scrolls. Somebody find them. And this reformer
-
begins to reform this nation. He begins by reforming the capitol, and then
-
it reforms the nation and lets everybody know that reformation will not come without repentance.
-
And so he schedules a national revival, a national repentance. If my
-
people, which are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray,
-
then I will hear from heaven. After they have turned from their wicked ways,
-
the Lord will give them audience and begin to heal their land and to
-
restore them. Now you could say that the man jehausa Fata must have been
-
a weakling because he consulted with the word of God. I want to say
-
something I said this morning. I want to say it again if you will
-
allow me to. I said this morning that there's been people told me over
-
the years and that they were not as successful and keeping their purity and keeping
-
good morals as I was. Or whenever I was a young person, sister,
-
how and I got married pure we had not come together, if your
-
parents know what I mean. And we had never been together with somebody else.
-
We've only been with one person our entire life, isn't that? And
-
I've had people look at me and say, oh, I was not as
-
strong as you. I was weakly and they act like her. I should
-
accept that, excuse her, or accept that argument if that's what they mean
-
it to be. But the Holiness dealt with me that I said, no,
-
no, no, no, I wasn't stronger than you. I was
-
weaker than you. I was not weaker in my resistance to temptation. I
-
might have been stronger, but I was weaker concerning the things of God.
-
I allowed God to have his perfect way in my life. I could avow
-
you harver what God said, and my conscience said, no, I did
-
not buckle but kick against the pe what possor Paul said, I've been bucking
-
against it. I've been ticking against it. And God said to Paul,
-
it's hard for you to kick against the prince. Can I tell you you
-
ought to be weaker in your resistance to the word of God. You ought
-
to be weaker in your resistance to the power of cock. You ought to
-
cap to this instructional you opt to coward to the word of cock. You
-
out to power the following a coop of cock. The truth to as we
-
are struggle in your rebellion, I said, you a stronger in your repellion
-
to what God said. That's the truth of it. This man begin to
-
say, when I am weak, then am I strong? I might have
-
been strong in the face of reversity. It might have been strong to temptation
-
advances. I might have been strong, and my resistance to the devil.
-
I'll give you that, but I was weaker when it came to God's word.
-
And as long as our live, let people say whatever they wrote to
-
I'd rather be sore on Monday morning, had to preach and hearten when you're
-
a tardy for two services. Let it be sorn in puting my children with
-
a hate over because I may a pool of myself a call not more probably
-
not to say all the heeding to Saint thank on Saturday night. I'm talking
-
about our patildrean. See what we're doing, I said, our children,
-
see no third we're doing. This man's a hostile fathy o the Lord.
-
And he began to teach. In fact, if you're looking up again,
-
it said that there were teachers going throughout the lamb. This man, Jehossifact
-
was not weak by any means, but he was weak the meaning he did
-
not put up a resistance to God. How is it that work so strong
-
and so stubborn, and we know what we ought to do, that we
-
won't do it concerning God? But then when it comes to tutation in its
-
advances, we seemingly are just weak. Or come on now, I'm telling
-
you, it's where you put your priorities at It's where your colleges at.
-
Where is no value? You know one that's written in this one that called
-
it means more than me than anything else in this war. It must not
-
matter how we feel about a certain situation or a topic. We must consult
-
her as wise people a word that cart and see what is written there him.
-
He's not a weakling. In fact. In this same chapter Second Chronicles,
-
in seventeen in verses number twelve and thirteen, the Bible said, and
-
jehas in fact why it's great exceedingly, and he built in Judah castles and
-
cities of store. And he had much business in the cities of Judah.
-
And the men of war not a being of valor or in Jerusalem does the
-
church by seat week to you, that's our holiness creature sep Week to you,
-
Nos of want of heart revived, the I want I have the spirit
-
of God move on their partner had on. Let you. That's all a
-
silk to you, that's not a sign of weakness. To me, that's
-
a sign of dragon. Say your children will see how weak you are.
-
Oh, your childer will see how song you are. That I've made up
-
my body this South Paula. Some one know had a whar th prin so
-
turn that time. Who wasn't seeing great for God? I know the difference
-
of weakness and strengths. Somebody haveing no control over substance abuse in the face
-
of their children is a sound of great weakness. Huh, how do you
-
know? Because of the authority of the Word of God, that's going money.
-
Also, everybody in society knows it to be, so we must respect
-
it. It is what it is. I want to say here tonight that
-
the teacher makes the difference. I'm preaching a message the Holy ghost Town Murkey
-
see Murkey Dow, And I'm in no ways implying that the teacher or the
-
preacher of righteousness is a primate. I am not saying by the saying mother,
-
they're non human primension. I'm not saying we all came from monkeys.
-
But I do want to use that expression. I remember the first time I
-
heard that expression. I understood what the person was saying when they used it.
-
I did not have to pull up Google a line and punch this expression
-
into Google and nor what it meant. But for those of you that must
-
know, it is an expression describing someone who imitates another person's accents, whether
-
they're a good accents to bad accents, secret by having watched somebody before them
-
to hass up at Noua. We gotta do more than talk, come all,
-
we gotta teach him. We can't just stay here and there taping of
-
teaching the truth. We got to take the law of God, get our
-
hand. Trust their teachers. We need the teaching in the villages, teachers.
-
We need to teaching in the cities. He knew they're gonna follow our
-
example. I have seen people before put their children under the pastor of the
-
preacher's influence, hoping that his impression upon their children will steer them in the
-
right direction, only to find out when their children become teenagers they do exactly
-
as mother did. They knew exactly as father knew. Come on, now,
-
it is absolutely, positively, undebtedly necessity for us to instruct the next
-
generation in the ways and the works of God. I don't want about critin.
-
I'm a truck devil. That's hard trug user. I whether they'll be
-
at the co Consernan death tints, I got tap, but I'd rather it
-
be tough to him said that the things are top follow up some things up.
-
But Trunn just never need to know. Hebrews chapter number five and Most
-
number twelve said we ought to be teachers. We ought to be teachers.
-
Also in another place, concerning pastors, the word of God was clear in
-
the epistles that a real pastor must have the ability to teach. The Bible
-
used the word a pet apt to teach at a moment's notice in the middle
-
of that serving. He must go the extra mile, and he must preach
-
the word. He should tell us where the stories that I'm not talking about
-
brother Chief Floyd here, that he should not be taking the church of rabbit
-
trails and talking about this, sir, and talking about that he ought to
-
be able to affrequently teach them what to trust. Say if they're running her
-
time, her come my life, I'm telling you, were just rock down
-
to you. It's monkey see monkey dude. As the nation goes her so
-
against the people that jhsa pat masa. I am the spiritual leader, and
-
we've got to teach the people go Dad's of moms, brothers and sisters.
-
It's our personal obligation and responsibility of the Lord to teach this next generation the
-
children that God has entrusted us with It is our responsibility to see you don't
-
learn the ways of the wicked, but that the Lord who ways A Brother
-
Jesse, bring your baby boy here, I feel the hold of go sit
-
in this place tonight. You see, if brother Jesse had to come in
-
here tonight with his hat turned around backwards, and he could have. And
-
if he had come in here with a big one inch diameter chain around his
-
neck, and he could have. And if he had come in here with
-
his pants hanging off of his bottom, and he could have. And if
-
he come in here without a shoe lacens being laced up in the bow tide,
-
he could have. You know what, didn't matter what I preached on
-
or how I've preached. That little baby right to her is going to imitate
-
her daddy. You know what, we're doing the same thing to hassle fact
-
dead. We are training up them children and the ways of God. I
-
prayed for them children of mine and their grandchildren of mine multiple times her day,
-
Sister, howell, she can hear me running through those twenty two names.
-
I'm telling you I'm doing to Lota pro time said okay, Cosa,
-
I've known him, Little Chubby Hansa, a new little chubby Lenza, and
-
that little chubby Pacer. All of that well, one day seeing out and
-
one day he will be comingly aware that the world is a wicked place.
-
Right now, he's unaware that there's a mean world out there, and there's
-
an ugly devil. How do they will stand down his little innocent soul when
-
the reality a god comes to him, it will be a suby. Not
-
when they drowned it out with the trunks of this rider, or when they
-
drowned it out to when a son say O the right, Yes, I
-
said, we're gonna drowned it out. We're gonna ran for this library,
-
or when he drowned it out to with the gods for the Lord. Recently,
-
I saw two little babies walking hand in hand, and I realized all
-
of today's criminals began like that yesterday. All of them began with a sense
-
of innocence. All of them began with ignorance. Brothers and sisters. This
-
is why we have the church that we have right now, because I feel
-
woe is me if I did not inform the next generation, sister Pamba to
-
the own of what the devil is trying to do to them, sister iris
-
woot, And I'm trying my best to instruct this group of your preachers here.
-
Who wone is us? If we fell in informing the next generation,
-
are the woes of the devil if we refuse to do what is right,
-
y'all won't turn me off yet, I want you to know that you're hustle.
-
Fact was not a weeping because he was trying to have a personal revival,
-
also a national reviy. I remember what I've made up my mind.
-
That's a young man. Does not matter what my peers say. It does
-
not matter what they do to ask for me in my house. I love
-
be a person that keep the commandment to God. It really doesn't matter how
-
they snicker and they laugh. They can laugh at my wife for her long
-
skirts. I can laugh with the same condescending laughter over them being drunk and
-
not knowing where they're at. I mean, you know, you can fight
-
fire with fire, right, But I've seen my wife and them sword of
-
skirts and their many skirts. I mean, we're not fools here, folks.
-
There's a method for our madness. There's a method for our madness,
-
and there is something we're trying to protect our children from even if the rest
-
of the world doesn't see it. The Bible said it didn't know that preacher
-
rightness righteous does he preach over one hundred and twenty years he threw down preaching
-
trying to help other people save their families, trying to help other people save
-
their souls. But the Bible said that only him and his family got to
-
bear in that arca has saved their souls. Now come on, now Here's
-
it got startling to think that it could be either that's somebody's right and the
-
rest to the love to be wrong. It won't be the bus time that
-
I said that happened. I'm not saying I will only preacher, but righteous
-
does he come? But I am telling you we got the preacher the Lord.
-
They think that Christians display weakness. I'll tell you what's weak. Not
-
being able to wait till five thirty on Friday to waste fifty of your paycheck.
-
That's weak. Hello, smile. If I could be sarcastic and a
-
smart elict right now to slapt the devil in his face. I'm not talking
-
about anybody that's building. I'm talking about the devil. He makes the righteous
-
appear to be weak. He makes them appear to be ignorant and unlearned.
-
I'm going somewhere. We're not igreant and we're not unlearned. If you see
-
somebody being successful in their family, being spared from hardship and difficulties, or
-
come on and drunkenness and drugging Nixon, you see somebody that's not a weak
-
mind, that's anes mind. You see the Bible saying that generation that would
-
come upon the enterprist appear, that would be one that called good evil,
-
and they're called evil good. They can call a Christian concept a colard.
-
And I learned that a weekly? Oh no, they can say whatever they
-
want. What's that's not a weekly? I'll tell you who the weekly was?
-
His contemporary? Who was his contemporary? If I preach something tonight that's
-
not Bible, show it to me at the child. I'll got dear my
-
notes. Who was his contemporary? A Ham? A Ham is pastoring the
-
other church up the road, the ten tribes of Israel, and Jehossophat is
-
pastoring the two tribes. Oh, come on now, the nation of Judah.
-
It seemed that Jehosaphats got the little church. AHAP's telling everybody you can
-
mix mingle with the world. You conserve the painion Dodg. It doesn't matter
-
if it's well or all of that, as long as you got a church
-
occasionly, as long as you use the name of the Lord at the football
-
game, as long as you say this and that it appeared to be religious.
-
Don't come on now. Jehassapath was not worried about what to preach her
-
up the road was preaching. He wasn't worried about ain't hal and the way
-
he was reading the Nation of Israel. Jehasapat realized, I've got to do
-
what I need to do. I's and dads forget about what to world is
-
doing, and press this in your mind. Sid say, I must teach
-
my ch and what is not I must monkey see monkey, then I must.
-
I'm here to preach to you almost seventeen years ago. And whenever you
-
pass on to glory, I know there's always a full that interrupts the preacher
-
and says, well, you could die before, sister Wood. That's right,
-
I could, so could one of these babies. God forbid. That's
-
why I need to teach my babies how to do right. Because every man's
-
gonna up here before the judgment see the Christ. But let's get back on
-
topic. Brother Tyler, her, y'all listen. I hope here's the same
-
message that his grandpa heard. I hope we continue to preach this Brotherstering for
-
the next thirty thirty five years, because Brother Tyler is supposed to be God's
-
people as much as sister who wants the Lord's person? Are we doing good
-
things for God? Now? Come on, I want you to know the
-
Bible said that these men went to teach the people how to do good things.
-
Could I add this into the visa. While your Hustiphath is doing all
-
the wonderful things for the people of God that he is doing, ain't have
-
is doing the direct opposite of what your Hussifact He's doing because his wicked wife,
-
jessapin Over is wanting to do contrary to the teaching of God. Because
-
the land that shep came Proba knew nothing of God. They did not understand
-
the teachings of Jehoah of your way. That's what happened to when you bring
-
world the hides into their church and the only tear put in your heart with
-
a new, perfect and they sit there and say, did God say,
-
show me up? Pride said that Apostle Paul said there would be some that
-
would not listen to him. Jesus said when he was preaching, there were
-
some that left and said, Jesus' sayings are way too hard for us up
-
to Apostle Paul and Jesus Christ. But I am saving this. I am
-
certain the same God that the Apostle Paul served. And I remember after I
-
answered the call to Pree, I was upon my bed at night and I
-
was sleeping, and the Holy Ghost began to preach through me. And I
-
don't have this in my notes, but I remember saying there was some that
-
God sent Paul too. There was some that he could reach, and there
-
were others that he would be unable to reach. And there form I have
-
been sent to reach those that Apostle Paul could not reach. And preachers in
-
this building tonight, if you would realize that there are people within your sphere
-
or within your circle that you can reach that the Apostle Paul was unable by
-
the limits of time to reach, you will realize that time is short and
-
while I have time, I must walk to talk. Hey, come on,
-
this one thing to talk it, but you must walk it. I'm
-
preaching on monkey sin monkey. The Bible said in our going in text.
-
And they talk in Judah. It does not say here and in usual,
-
and they talk to in Judah. I'm sorry, they're gonna stare at.
-
You know this to be true. They are not teaching the whole counsel of
-
God in every church. Ho, come on, now, do the light
-
the Bible her not? Do you like this kind of preacher? Her not
-
the pricature, her preaching mither and better than your praising Lord. And they
-
talk in Judah, and they had the Book of the Law the Lord with
-
them. Brother, say, I'll get your Bible and tuck it under your
-
arm. Brother, stare at, get your Bible and talk it under your
-
arm. Come stand right here in front of the sacred disk desk. And
-
they talk in Judah and had the Book of the Law of the Lord with
-
him. They had the pit to tuck. They had the Law of Moses.
-
Because these are God's people. Hey, if you want to that of
-
God's heaven, then you're gonna have to keep God's laws to the churchill to
-
saying welcome on Hell. And the Bible said, and they went about through
-
all the cities of Tunda and taught the people. I want you, betters,
-
to start working your way through this congregation, and I want you to
-
Bemica what it is to be teaching somebody going at the Bible and act like
-
her. You're instructing them in the ways of God. You say, preacher,
-
where the people of convent? We already know there, Sir, that's
-
the same profession of Father that these people can have said. It's not called
-
o God, it's not your whole mother, our Lord. The Bible said,
-
how shall they hear without a creature? And how shall that preacher unless
-
they be sick? You knowing there a church? Acka, it's not enough.
-
But you're going that preacher's preacher there. It's not ignore. You've got
-
to sharing, I said, Duke, got to share. Have you ever
-
shared the Bible with your children? Have you ever shared the b I B
-
L with your children? Have you ever seen Jesus loves Me to your children?
-
Have you ever sang to your children? God is so good? Listen,
-
Vanilla Ice in fifty cents, and Mariah Carry and Paul Abdol and all
-
of them have never sang to the howd children. As far as I know,
-
God's brooks has never serenaded my daughter. That's far. The hold of
-
ghost has wound her in a servant, and I have treated her off in
-
the way that she should go. Come on, now, somebody opened their
-
mouth, and the teachers beginning of teaching in Junah. Somebody could say,
-
the president aveha her king, a half her pastor a half. Did you
-
hear what's doing on you in Judah? You know what a half would say?
-
Oh, that's nothing. Don't worry about that. Don't worry about that,
-
Bible, don't worry about that. Lord God, we don't need that.
-
If you look at verse number seven, two verses people, the Bible
-
said, in the third year of his reign, he began doing this,
-
and he got teachers that were qualified to teach. How you gonna teach unless
-
you have study for yourself? Parents, we can't get started soon enough teaching
-
our children about Jesus and his word. And let me say, there is
-
no way I knew who would be here tonight, God Almighty of Heaven and
-
Earth, is speaking of the people in this building. There's about sixty two
-
of you here. I did not know who would be here to You're welcome.
-
The look of my notes, there's no way I could have wrote all
-
this down in a moment's notice. But God did know, and it will
-
be recorded in heaven. And I that the God of heaven and Earth,
-
the Ancient of days, the high and lofty one that inhabits eternity, spoke
-
to people tonight. And teachers do make the difference. Moms and dad,
-
you can make a difference if you will teach. I want you to know
-
that these teachers around here are making a difference. Teachers, we can't get
-
started suiting to add additional, say, school classes for these various age groups.
-
Sister Hand is now teaching the primary class ages three to eleven, and
-
Dan Dathaniel's teaching the junior and senior class of ages twelve to eighteen. Could
-
the church say how and move? I thank God for somebody having a burden
-
to teach him this generation. Somebody's willing to teacher. Had our grand children
-
about the things of the Lord? I said, not teaching our children and
-
our grandchildren about the things of the Lord Jehossa. Now that I'm not only
-
preaching, I'm teaching. I'm giving you the words that cad has got king
-
to me in his reword. I'm not sure what they called this teaching program.
-
Jehosaphats reformation plan, Jehosaphat's recovery plan for the nation of Judah. What
-
was this plan that Jehosaphat implemented. What was it? It's a teaching series.
-
You all need to know what God said parents, I would not be
-
able to take my children bumping into meeting Hell and asking me this question,
-
why did you not teach me? Why did you not tell me better?
-
When I was a young man who started following children and bringing them into this
-
world. That was my greatest fear is one day bumping into my children in
-
Hell and hearing them scream, Daddy, why did you not teach me?
-
Thank your mama, Daddy for teaching me about Jesus. Jesus loves them.
-
I feel the Holy to go sending this booe. Jehasa fact felt like implementing
-
this teaching program would bring forth a positive change for his people and bless the
-
generations following behind us. Mister Barack Obama, you promise this world change.
-
That's the same thing to Antichrist's promising to bring change. But I am unsatisfied.
-
I don't want to say again, I am terribly dissatisfied with the change
-
that you brought to this nation, mister Barack Obama. I am definitely disappointed
-
with the change and mister Joseph bid has brought upon this country. And I
-
will terribly be disappointed with the change that the Antichrist brings to this country.
-
I'm not as exactly excited about this artificial intelligence. And mister Elon Musk if
-
some of these other nuts or bringing to this country, you can be excited
-
about it all you want to, but I need the word of God to
-
change the hearts and the minds of the people of this country. We need
-
revival before we hit the self destruct button. We are building a modern tower
-
of babble, and it's only a matter of time before God comes down and
-
confounds the masters. I want to say it again, we're supposed to live
-
and learn. History repeats itself. We need to get out the Bible and
-
we need to see what happened to people that begin to play God. I
-
said, we need to see what happens to people not again to play God.
-
Teach me, Teacher, teach me. These ministers that were signed by
-
je hostile fact. To evangelize the world as they knew it. These teachers
-
traveled throughout the land, teaching the words of God to the nation of Judah.
-
Our text says that they had the Book of the Law of the Lord
-
with them. Does anybody have a Bible in your hand? Over there again,
-
I wonder about four or five of your preachers to start pacing in front
-
of this platform with the Word of the Lord and the Bible said they had
-
the Book of the Law and the Lord with the preacher. Can I ask
-
you a question, what good are you without that Bible? Somebody asked me
-
recently, They said, how do you preach the way you do? And
-
I speaking of the fool, I'm not a preacher telling you who the preacher
-
is the Holy Ghost. But there's one thing we can't do, brother Jerema.
-
We can hide the words of God in our heart and if we put
-
them there, If we put them there, the Holy Goost said he would
-
bring them back to our rememberance. And you know the Bible ought to be
-
put in the hearts of these little children. I want some more preachers to
-
start tasting with your Bible. You know what that is. That is a
-
sword of reformation. I said, that is a sword of reformation. The
-
devil cannot stand that Bible. I was educated for the feeling the other day.
-
Oh God, Communist leaders and evil dictators want to eradicate the sacred writings
-
of Jehovah for their country because that Bible says that I cannot bowl too many
-
other other than God. That Bible says that I have to cheat my pregnant
-
right. God Baabah tells me, how had them my neighbor? That Bible
-
tells me when it Emperor rouses else they about before them? Not bow says
-
thou say, have no other God before me? I say, must teach
-
her. Let's teach somebody that brought thus saying the Lord their god. I
-
text that they had the book of the Law of the Lord with them.
-
Now let me ask you a question, brother Thomas. There how many children
-
are gonna die? Not being able to recite the basic versus the church children
-
can recite, they won't even to be familiar with the shortest verse of the
-
Bible. Jesus wept. The followers of Jesus were commanded as a mandate,
-
go and teach them. Go somebody reach him. When you teach your reaching
-
somebody preach. Could you imagine what would happen right now if I just resigned,
-
if I just said I'm done, I'm discouraged, and there was no
-
voice heard again in this region for the space of twenty or thirty years.
-
What would happen if there was no authority of the Word of God and there
-
was no check in battles or no preachers standing in the highways and the hedges
-
they said, hey, you shut your what turn aside? Hear what the
-
Word of God says? How feel the Holy Ghost in this place here in
-
the morning, here in the Bethelhonics Church, you will see that we have
-
implemented the teachings of Jesus into our worship. This noble reformer, Jehosaphat knew
-
the importance of instruction. How will we get the nation build up properly if
-
we don't follow the instructions? Have you ever seen someone attempted to a simple
-
something without the instructions? Have y'all ever seen anyone doing that? I'm sorry,
-
but I'm not that guy. If my sons ever go to symbol something
-
without the instructions, I'm telling you that perturbs me. Sister Papaduli world says
-
the how you know that? Perturbs me so bad to see them attempting to
-
put something together without the instructions. I'm not that guy. But if you're
-
that guy, raise your hand. If you're that guy that just can't wait.
-
Nobody wants to admit to it. But I know we have at least
-
five or six men in this building right now to say the instructions, why
-
do they matter? You know you're that guy, and you know what,
-
I get concerned about that. God, it's not concerned about the details.
-
It's not concerned about the instructions, not concerned about the specifics. In other
-
words, even rather us remain ignorant. In other words, even whether us
-
remain ignorant, I don't want my babies to remain ignorant. I don't want
-
you all to remain acred. I would have known what the Bible said.
-
There's a saying in the world it goes like this, ignorance it's bliss.
-
I believe contrary to that, ignorance is not bliss. They say, if
-
you do not know about something, you do not worry about it. Listen,
-
I want to know what is coming my way, don't you if I'm
-
not doing right and I'm on a road and all lead to a devil's hell,
-
and hell's awaiting me, I want somebody to say, hey, you
-
you need to stop that. Take that Bible right there and preach A managers
-
pop his ump on the side of the head really easily. I don't want
-
to be blindsided with anything because of my ignorance. I don't want to be
-
blindsided with anything. Some preachers are going to let people sit upon pusing the
-
churches. They are supposing that these people are satisfied, because these people are
-
they've heeded themselves, teachers having itch in years, and the people are satisfied
-
with hearing a few points and a sermon and hearing a couple of poems reciting,
-
and the people go away not receiving the instructions of thought. And these
-
ignorant men are following blind leaders. And a Bible said if the blind following
-
it blind, they will all hold in their pu ditch well, lying thoughts,
-
prophets. You're not gonna lead the Hollway family the aim from dit truth.
-
We're not going into ditch of the right, We're not going in the
-
ditta. Hold enough, that's with me. In my house up. We
-
will do what the self of colors out time the Holy ghost in this place.
-
It's never better for us to only know part of the truth. It's
-
always best for us to know what they say, the word of God.
-
We can't cross our fingers across our toes and say, oh, well,
-
here goes. There's people doing that. They're taking their last breath on the
-
chance that they will make it. I love what Sister Walker said tonight.
-
She said, I was in a church and didn't care to worship the Lord.
-
Property I was in a church where they didn't care to praise the Lord,
-
where they didn't care to pray, where nobody seemed excited about being in
-
the presence of the Lord. What Sister Walker was saying, I wasn't gonna
-
just sit there and die. Ster said, I I'm gonna cross my fingers
-
and toes on a chance and hope that I made it. Come on down.
-
Ignorance may bring a sense of peace to the wicked, but it will
-
also lead into her dangerous situation. You can stay away from the preacher.
-
You can stay away from the teacher. You can stay away, oh you
-
want to, you can close the dad. Don't your hossifats reprimationist knocking on
-
your heart's door. You can kick the teachers out and tell that you are
-
your own boss and you have your own parent, and you can send their
-
teachers hunch as telling the road. But I wants you to know her.
-
You will find yourself ain't in this situation. I was in advanced English classes
-
in high school, and we studied Socrates, the writings of Socrates and Plato.
-
We of Shakespeare and other people, great writers like Charles Dickens, also
-
the philosopher Socrates, Plato, Socrates. One time our teacher told us that
-
he said, I know only one thing that I know nothing. I know
-
only one thing that I know nothing. I hope he wasn't implying to ignorance
-
as always a form of wisdom. I don't believe that, mister Socrates,
-
and I hope you made it. I doubt you did. Church. There
-
are too many ignorant and unlearned people who mistakenly believe they know God. And
-
that's what Jesus said. You're gonna say you knew me, and I'm gonna
-
say I didn't even know you. Who are you? And I got so
-
much more to preach, But we'll cut this short here tonight, so you
-
can go to the Hamburger joint. But I hope and pray to God that
-
you have made this word of God your priority for yourself and for your children.
-
Church. There are too many ignorant and unlearned people. There's too many
-
ignorant and unlearned preachers. Acts chapter number four and verse number thirteen saiding,
-
Now, when they saw the boldness of Peter and John and proceed that they
-
were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled, and they took knowledge of them
-
that they had been with Jesus. There was something different about Peter and John
-
because they had been with Jesus the same way Moses had been with the Lord.
-
And there was a sign he was a globe because he had been with
-
the Lord. Now I can tell when somebody has been at the pub.
-
I can tell when somebody has been at the club, and I can tell
-
when somebody has been at the drug dealer's house. And I can tell the
-
difference in those experiences versus when somebody's walked out of church. I'm gonna be
-
able to say tonight, I walked out of church, and in the morning
-
I'll be able to say I am sored because I preach hard at church.
-
There was a difference in Peter and John. At this point. The teacher
-
of teachers had poured himself into them. When y'all listen to that, the
-
teacher of teachers, the one that the religious leaders had set upon stools and
-
at his feet, and they listened to Jesus at the age of twelve and
-
marveled at the teachings of Jesus. These ignorant, unlearned men had been taught
-
by Jesus. How many of you feel like you've arrived because you attend the
-
Bethelhoness Church and Pastor Jeremy, how is your pastor? You feel like you're
-
arrived. You feel like your perfectness of finished work. You need to go
-
back and listen to this morning service. He is still working on us and
-
there is still room for improvement, which you receive the instructions tonight that we
-
need this word of God. These men had a holy boldness that we're not
-
worried about their peer pressures. Neither was to HOSTI fat. Peter and John
-
were not worried about peer pressures of life. They were not worried about contemporaries.
-
They were not worried about the hypocrites. They were bold. There's a
-
holy boldness on you, brother Howell. Absolutely. Of course that's what the
-
Holy Ghost does, and he'll do the same thing for each and everyone in
-
this building. These men had no reason to be ashamed. I'm gonna say
-
it again, I am weak concerning resistance to God, but I have nothing
-
to be ashamed of. These people had accused the Lord of being ignorant.
-
Y'all didn't even know that. Digit These same leaders had looked at Peter and
-
John and said, all they're ignorant, unlearned men. Do you know?
-
They had accused the Lord of being ignorant. You know why they accused the
-
Lord of being ignorant, brother Jesse, Because he hadn't been to their cemeteries.
-
I've been seminaries. He had not been to their schools or the prophets.
-
He had not been to their educational facilities and houses. And they lied
-
because they knew goodwell. At twelve years of age, he knew more about
-
this than they did. And that's what I'm saying. There's going to be
-
some people that say, oh, brother Howl, what does he know?
-
And they'll lie and everybody knows. Wait a minute, when Jesus is twelve
-
years old, we can say now that he's thirty, that is ignorant because
-
we had the long flowing roads where the Pharisees, we're the Sadducee, and
-
we can say that thirty year old man's ignorant. Well, you should have
-
not lied then when he was twelve, and you said, wow, how
-
does he know these things? Being twelve, he increased in knowledge that y'all
-
know that. So if he was a great teacher at the age of twelve,
-
he was a great teacher at the age of thirty. We got to
-
get to the place where we realized the devil will lie. The devil will
-
say, you don't have to live like that, You don't have to be
-
that way, you have to do that. Don't y'all think that's the message?
-
Ay having Josebelle was preaching just across the borders. Am I preaching to
-
night? Are you all tired? The crickets are preaching matter than you're praising
-
the Lord. When Jesus spoke, the honest people marveled, how many presents
-
to not know that liberal minds of this country are conjuring up ways to remove
-
the influence of the book, the Bible, the Law of the Lord.
-
While you sleep, brother Jeremiah, while you sleep, brother Gabriel, there
-
are liberal souls meaning wicked, loose, living God hating could despise the liberals
-
conjuring up ways to pull the words of God out of the hands and your
-
children. What year was that when they stopped the Bible from being read in
-
the public schoolhouses? Was that in the sixties. Look what's happened now we
-
have mass shootings in our schools. That's what happens when you throw God out
-
with his book. But listen, they may rip the Ten Commandments off the
-
walls of our courthhouses in America, but they will not succeed in ripping them
-
off of the hearts of their children. Houcked up a ho in this church.
-
They will have to the problem my corpus after this micropone, because that's
-
wrong. As I'm standing behind this scra dest or will be somebody teaching this
-
generation what that's saying. God, Let's stand to mind you. Maybe that's
-
supper the mid hallelu halleluy, You're teachers make the difference. I feel the
-
Holy Versty in this case. With this in mind, I salute every minister
-
in this house. It's trying to teach and instruct others. I salute every
-
parent is trying to teach their children better. Brother Gabrael, I commend you
-
for getting saved eighteen months ago and teaching Brother Luther that there's higher steps for
-
our feet, the better paths. I'll commend you. I'll salute you for
-
that. Sister how I commend you for thirty one years ago you made a
-
decision that was life altering and life changing, and it has impacted our family
-
in a positive way. I thank your sister how for implementing beautiful things in
-
our household. That has been a blessing that a six children, five boys
-
and a girl. I told her recently, I said, maybe you're the
-
best thing that has ever happened in me. She had told me the same
-
thing, Brother Caleb. One day, may you have what I've had with
-
Sister Howling. I believe you'll have that. But it is a blessing to
-
see somebody teaching the next generation of the good things of God. How many
-
are willing to learn? Is there anybody in this building to not willing to
-
learn? Are you learning? The Bible said the ever learning and never able
-
to come to the knowledge of the truth. The truth is what's been being
-
preached to you in the last six months or twelve months. Have you learned
-
preach to me, preacher, teaching to me? Teacher, brother justin,
-
teach to me about silence is golden? Did we listen this morning or did
-
we cop an attitude sit down all day long? Well, daddy, are
-
you teaching your wife? Husband? Are you doing what the husband should do
-
at home? And say, honey, you don't realize you but it's not
-
good for you to do a motor mouth like that. Listen, if I'm
-
in the bathroom for ten minutes, that's something major wrong with me. But
-
if I'm in the bathroom gossiping and talking for ten or twenty minutes when I
-
need to be in church, we're teaching our children the wrong things. And
-
I don't want to turn sideways and get your mind off of this message.
-
But can you be taught? Because when you're properly taught and you properly learn
-
after listening, you change. And that's what jehost of fat was doing,
-
Brother Samuel. He was trying to implement change and The method of implementation was
-
remove the people from their ignorance by giving them instruction. You know what the
-
acronym Bible stands for basic instructions before leaving earth. Say that with basic instructions
-
before leaving earth, thy word and my head on my heart, that I
-
might not sin against thee Contrary to what most believe us, leaving our children
-
in ignorance will not give them a free past to heaven. There's going to
-
be people that get to Heaven that admitted salvation appeared to me. There was
-
an opportunity at the dom tree. I felt impressed to the Lord to pull
-
that Bible out and to read it. That man passed by me while I
-
was at the restaurant handing me a track. I felt salvation appearing to me,
-
but I didn't embrace it. And there's gonna be some brother Jeremiah that
-
said, I got to admit there was a good spirit of God reach for
-
me. But I never did fully understand this. Some people say, well,
-
as long as I don't teach my children anything about right are the difference
-
between right and wrong, they're gonna be okay. Because they didn't know.
-
No, they're gonna go to hell. Not knowing. And I'm gonna say
-
it again. One of the torments of my soul when I was a young
-
man, was realizing if I had fathered children and brought them into this world,
-
and I bump into them in hell, and they say, why did
-
you not teach me about Jesus? Because that place is a place of torment.
-
You think it's bad life, It's going to be a whole lot worse
-
than that after life in that horrible place. So how has the Lord been
-
teaching you? Has he given you a pastor that has taught to you?
-
Are you learning the lesson? Are we preaching the same sermons and the same
-
topics, are revisiting the same things. Let's bow our head right here tonight
-
if we could please. You can cop an attitude all you want to and
-
pound and you know what your children are going to see you do that?
-
Monkey see monkey dode. But if you humble yourself and you say, you
-
know what, I realize there is bringing for improvement in my life, and
-
God's helping me become a better person for his glory. That's not my work
-
that you change, it's his will. It's the Father's will that you change.
-
If you're in this building tonight and you say, Preacher, I know
-
that God has spoke to me through the word of God tonight, which you
-
raise your hand. That's about eight of Northtown one, two, three,
-
four, five, six, seventy eight, nineteen eleven, twelve thirteen.
-
I want to say among the thirteen there was a great elder of this church
-
that acknowledge God spoke to me tonight through my pastor, a great elder in
-
this church that normally does not raise their hand, Brother Philip, when you
-
and Sister Elizabeth bringing them children into the world is going to be up to
-
you to teach them. They're going to be looking at you on Sunday morning.
-
They'll look over the cereal ball and they'll look at you and see what
-
your next move is. Will it be to go to the raceway or will
-
it be to go to church? When they're looking over the cereal ball,
-
what is your next move? Let's gather around these altars and pray tonight.
-
Can we do that? As the singer sing and as a musicians playing,
-
They're gonna imitate us. They're gonna imitate our actions, whether those are good
-
actions or bad. That's simply gonna watch the things that take place in front
-
of them. We lead by our example. They follow as we lead.
-
I feel the Holy Ghost in this place tonight. It's gonna be up to
-
you with what you care Again Hebrews, chapter number five of verse number twelve.
-
We ought to be teachers. The teachers make the difference. The teachers
-
make the difference. I love your church, I appreciate you. You need
-
to be aware that they're ripping the Ten Commandments off the walls of our public
-
schools and our courthouses here in America. The Devil's tria put the Bible out
-
