  3. and Brother Jesse, Hebrews chapter number ten and verse number twenty four, Brother

  4. Nathaniel, which you read that tonight, Matthew eighteen eighteen through twenty. Fairly,

  5. I say it to you, whosoever whatsoever you shall bind on earth,

  6. shall be bound in Heaven. And whatsoever you shall loose on earth shall be

  7. loosed in Heaven. Again, I say to you that if two of you

  8. shall agree on earth as touching anything today shall ask, it shall be done

  9. for them of my Father, which is in Heaven. For where two or

  10. three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of

  11. them. Praise the Lord, AmAm, Brother Jesse, Hebrews, chapter number

  12. ten and verse number twenty four. And let us consider one another to provoke

  13. unto love two good works. All right, let's stand for the reading of

  14. our text. Hebrews, chapter number ten and verse number twenty five. Brother

  15. Jesse, read that for us tonight. If you will please my brother,

  16. not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together as the manner of some is but exhorting

  17. one another so much the more as you see today approaching and the church says

  18. Amen, Heavenly Father, we think and we praise you for the opportunity to

  19. be in the House of the Lord with this precious people, which are definitely

  20. people of light, precious faith. I thank you for the kindred spirit that

  21. we fill with these true worshipers. I thank you for the way they have

  22. worshiped you tonight and the way you have poured out your spirit upon them.

  23. I thank you for every testimony that I've heard tonight. I thank you for

  24. our little baby that's here tonight for the first time. We thank you for

  25. missus Tabitha Grace. Would we pray that you would bless her as this is

  26. her first service blessed dead Mom. I prayed, Lord that you would anoint

  27. these lips. I pray set a guard at my mouth and help me to

  28. say the things that you would have me to say, nothing more or less,

  29. knowing the ears of this people, that they might hear what the spirits

  30. say it under the churches through this preach word God, I pray that we

  31. would not be hearers only, but be doers. We thank you for the

  32. privilege to be in the house of God. We give you the praise and

  33. the honor and the glory, and the Church said Jesus' name, Amen,

  34. you may be seeded. Our text is found in a New Testament book of

  35. the Holy Bible, the Book of Hebrews. This book isn't an instructional for

  36. the man of the household who desires to know how to make a good cup

  37. of coffee. A man doesn't have to wake each morning, get dressed,

  38. and go to Starbucks or dunk Donas to get the perfect cup of coffee.

  39. He can learn what ingredients must be assembled for someone to produce and partake of

  40. the perfect cup of coffee. That man can locate some good quality filtered water,

  41. not stumpwater. Could the church say, amen, man tainted or polluted

  42. water, But he can locate some good quality filter the water. Some of

  43. you young people did not know this, But one of the tricks to perciate

  44. or whatever it has called percolate the perfect cup of coffee is to have filtered

  45. the water. And so this man he can bring that filtered water into the

  46. house and they can bring the right roast for him. Mister and missus however

  47. many means they prefer, they can put them into that mix, and they

  48. can brew that cup of coffee for as long as they desire. Then add

  49. the creamer of their choice, know us, and they will not add any

  50. sugar to it. But then they could put that cup of copy up to

  51. their little lips and simp until their little hearts are contempt. Now, remember

  52. I had this message before Brother David Brought Junior came and preached a message titled

  53. God Knows how to Cook. And what a wonderful message it was. When

  54. did he preach that? I believe it was last Sunday morning, on the

  55. twenty ninth of October. Brother David Brock Junior preached a message so well to

  56. us, and we received it in the name of the Lord. What a

  57. bliss that it was to all who heard it. I believe if I not

  58. have exhorted as much as I have done of late to you little angels that

  59. are so perfect, I would have already preached this message to you all before

  60. he preached that message, and y'all would have known that I had this message

  61. and intended to reaching to you all. On the twenty fifth of October,

  62. the Bible students and readers among us tonight. We know that this Holy Bible

  63. is an assembly of literary writings. It is a composite work from various authors.

  64. I mentioned that regarding the Book of Psalm this Morning, the Bible is

  65. also a composite work comprised by various authors. I'm thankful that they contributed to

  66. this blessed book we call the whole Holy Bible. You see the Holy Ghost

  67. the symbolm this book we call the Holy Bible. I believe that there's a

  68. lot of people that believe that there are things missing out of this book of

  69. the Bible. I do not believe that. I believe that the Holy Ghost

  70. song to it, that this King James translation has in it exactly what the

  71. believer needed in order to make it to heaven. You see, this book

  72. does not need to be revised. We do not need another version. It

  73. certainly does not need anything to lead it from it or add him unto it.

  74. I remember hearing some people years ago asked the elders within our church what

  75. about the Book of Enich, And as a little girl, I remember thinking,

  76. well, what about it? It is not in the English translation of

  77. the Holy Bible, And so Why would I need to seek out a copy

  78. of it and to read it? There must have been a reason why it

  79. was excluded from this pressive book of sixty six books of the Bible? Can

  80. you find it listed in the table of contents at the front of your Bible?

  81. Has anybody ever book for the Book of Eder? Can this divide library?

  82. If you did? Who was it there? Did you find it?

  83. To come home? Now? I don't care who not here lifts tonight.

  84. I'm not looking for mere reading material to be added to this blessing book of

  85. the Bible. There is no further a similar required to find out a little

  86. wildlife. The devil spighty me in the manner that he's foting me tonight.

  87. You trust me now in this If you have the sixty six books of the

  88. Bible, who have enough in your hand to help you to think the enemyia

  89. and to help you return return on O in that plesson even of rest.

  90. In fact, most people that I'm no love, that have sought out other

  91. books of the Bible and track who allow themself to add unto this booker have

  92. ended up confused in some way. I found them to be spiritually deranged.

  93. Her spiritually deluded and tain it because they decided to the symbol a bigger broker

  94. to add to this divide life. Prailly, I could debate this with you

  95. after church tonight if you want to that. I believe that our children are

  96. women, are boys and girls, and our meal. They need to be

  97. satisfied and content with the sixty sixpence of the Bible. We can find somebody

  98. that has not talked it Mester No. Sixty six books. They do not

  99. have a genuine experience with God. They donnot keep her the commandments founder in

  100. the sixty six books or the Bible and Dooza or the people that you will

  101. find her or on whats that are in search of something else? Can I

  102. tell you muster or the people have searched her for sacred writing outside of the

  103. Word of God, andre looking for some way out of something that they have

  104. solved in this pssing book. I want you to know what is found in

  105. this Bible. The content of what's in this Bible is enough for every believerer

  106. of everything in the way, sir preachers, you start going out preaching,

  107. somebody's gonna ask you, have you ever read the Book of Edict and Your

  108. answer needs to be what about the Book of Edict? What about it?

  109. I have no interest at all in that book. You see, this book

  110. of the Bible is very special to me. The Book of Hebrews is a

  111. very unique look of the I will because of it was specifically addressed to Jewish

  112. believers. I've been reading and studying something. How did this book of the

  113. Bible? And I've come to understand the author's reason for writing these words and

  114. sending this letter to the hebrew people to whom it was addressed to. He

  115. intrusted the people that had been scattered, to those who would not a si

  116. lord, those that could not as symbol, but those that needed to assembil

  117. themselves together with the believers as soon as they had an opportunity to do so.

  118. Also, he made it clear that Jesus is a superior to all beings,

  119. but to manal and immortal. I heard tell that there are some within

  120. an a customer and holding us churches who believe that Jesus was a creative bee.

  121. That supposition is a purity foolish. It is nottaining at all. Look

  122. one ounce of intelligence or wisdom is pure data foolestnes Sir I said, it

  123. is pure data foolestness for somebody to believe that Jesus was that is a creative

  124. being. We don't go that deeper than they used to here tonight. We

  125. are a living soul. Christ himself is an eternal bee. Christ himself is

  126. the Word of God. He is the creator of all living things. In

  127. him is a life. We are living souls because of the determination of the

  128. try you, God haead to create human beings. Let me be clear that

  129. Jesus Christ is superior and everybody that his word is superior to everybody else's a

  130. word. Again, his word is superior to your word. Your opinion means

  131. nothing. His word means everything. But it is his word. It is

  132. superior to everything. And if his word is superior to everything, that it

  133. would be diminipian to every believer and non believer. And read and study this

  134. blessed Book of More carefully. Rock it on you teeth, and listen to

  135. some mad full uncle his life tell you about the coming of the Lord.

  136. Did this blessed cook and read it? Read it. This is what takes

  137. primitives overall things. The superior word of God. The superiority of the Word

  138. of God is unquestioned by all true worshipers, so many Jeremiah. If his

  139. word is superior to everything, then I must be benefited by it. Would

  140. I read it? And if I keep this commandment so dis serving? Tonight

  141. real rich the intended recipients. You know who needs to hear this? You

  142. all do. The Lord laid this messager on my heart for this group of

  143. people. People that are symboled together have this look on assembly. This writing.

  144. The Book of Hebrews reached this intended recipients. The Jews habit, the

  145. outsider's habit, the gentile's habit. And so those Jewish people that have been

  146. scattered, those that have been separated from their whole land, those that have

  147. been separated her from their teachings of teas and are teaching of Jehovah. If

  148. you do not have or relationship with your Master and with his word, you

  149. will find yourself being love lost lost. This word of God is so much

  150. more than a roadmap. It is a treasure map. This epistle is for

  151. those who met Jesus while he ministered the people upon earth. This word was

  152. meant for men like the Apostles. It was meant for women such as Mary,

  153. Magdalene and John Mark's mother and the mother of the Messiah himself. This

  154. word has meant for those that lived during his time that he was on earth,

  155. and it is meant for those who are witnessing the mere ministry of his

  156. written word, people such as ourselves. By more, is no longer the

  157. hand broker of the church. You may not realize this, sir, You've

  158. been protected and shielded from understanding this, But most servants are nothing more than

  159. it'll make you feel good message prea church very improve dead may have a clut

  160. handle. Oh what does say it the word of come who may not realize

  161. they, but the foul that is no longer that church has a hand up.

  162. We need it. We need it. Raise your hands and thread as

  163. little. In this epistle new Christians, the new converts, newly converted Jews

  164. that are converted from two days of unto Christianity, or being told that there

  165. is a new Covenant for them to embrace. It is to be embraced,

  166. not embellished. Come on now, it is to be embraced, to not

  167. imbellished. It is to be embraced, as it is written literally, the

  168. devil don't want me preaching this message. He's I've never had a problem with

  169. w Lewis. He does not want you to get this known it tonight,

  170. the same way he didn't want you to get that message. Lucifer and his

  171. leish. I have fought incessantly in my family since I unmaster Devil with that

  172. message Lucifer in his leash, He's find his message in the same many.

  173. It is to be embraced. It is not to be embellished. It isn't

  174. to be made beautiful by adding to it, we're taking away from it.

  175. It does not need ortmentation to make it lovely. Know his word is beautiful

  176. as it is written. If it offends Jayzabel, it is beautiful as it

  177. is written. If it offendse A Have, it is as beautiful as it

  178. is written. I believe this. With this in mind, glanced down at

  179. your Bible and look at what our gold intent says. When you look at

  180. it again, what does it say not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together has

  181. the matter of some in us, but exhorting one another, and so much

  182. tomorrow as you see their day approaching. Who is that directed to? Metasteric

  183. believers are infidels. Who's receiving this directive, believers are let's embrace this version

  184. of scripture and not attempt to embelliship. Now. I remember one time talking

  185. to a coworker on the job and we talked about Jesus for maybe two minutes.

  186. Whenever I invited him, it's her church. That following Sunday, he

  187. said, there's no need at all for me to go to church. I

  188. said why not? He said, because I just had church with you,

  189. my brother, And he began to abuse the scripture that brother Nathaniel read to

  190. us tonight. He said, you're a man of God, you're a preacher,

  191. and two or three of us have gathered together in His name, that

  192. we have had church. He ballister that burst subscripture Cloud and Matthew chapter number

  193. eighteen and bursal betrore. He embellished it. For where two or three are

  194. gathered together in my name, they're a mine in the midst of them.

  195. The context of that scripture can be found in three verses, and they are

  196. namely Versus number eighteen through twenty. And before I bailed into this, in

  197. the context of it, may I know that prayer is powerful. The Lord

  198. makes him clear of the prayer has been official to the believer and the household

  199. of the believer. For church, we are to assemble at the house of

  200. prayer, not the pacha or the wing house. The Lord told his disciples

  201. of every age that there are those that would forsake the sibling of themselves together.

  202. That the Lord also told his disciples of every age, those there at

  203. that time, and those present right here to night, that it was thus

  204. been official for the church pamper together to pray. Is that not what broll

  205. Sister Wallace asked us due to do tonightra is to open the service with prayer.

  206. They called on the elders of the church, which included the pastor,

  207. and corporately as a body, we pray the benefits of gathering together. Prayer

  208. is a mighty force, I said. Prayer is a mighty force. Corporate

  209. prayer is a greater force. Ask the damsel Rhoda again, prayer is a

  210. mighty force. You pray by yourself is a powerful thing for you to do.

  211. But when you come to church and you put two or three together over

  212. here and two or three together over there, you have a greater force.

  213. As their prayers and sisters begin to pray for Peter. You can ask the

  214. damsel Rhoda what happened when they're gathered together that clean that prayer pay John Mark's

  215. mother had a prayer meeting at her house. She had a prayer meeting at

  216. her house. Church is not a gathering other believers down at the sports pub

  217. or the rodeo. Aretha, are you looking it out now? A lot

  218. of rebels trotting by voice, but never I'm gonna tell you something that p

  219. don't get off my back. I'll preach this five times in a row.

  220. I tell nature devil, she might as well go on. I'll tach the

  221. same message, say the same tisays for five services in a row. I

  222. will you want to tell her out there? I can't tell me that since

  223. I Marn's father had a prayer meeting in a house. Again, Church isn't

  224. a gathering don't die the seashore. Church is not a gathering of people calling

  225. themself. Believe her still over there on the baseball field, don't do battleship.

  226. I like it just the way it is. This the rectang little building,

  227. and I'm talking little building or square building. I like church just the

  228. way it is. I still like the old time preaching ray. I still

  229. come for all type prayer. I still like them for all type shady.

  230. We don't need a part with you any don't need my team. Oh the

  231. mean he's a group of believer. They want to balish it, they want

  232. to ordinate it, they want to make it beautiful. The Church has not

  233. always been a beautiful thing, and the Church will not always be represented by

  234. a beautiful sanctuary or a beautiful edifice. I thank God tonight for this beautiful

  235. place that will be worship the Lord Hill. I thank God for the nine

  236. or ten chandeliers that hang from the seabl I thank God for the pantopews that

  237. you want are sitting in. I thank God for beautiful musical instruments and the

  238. musicians that can play them skillfully. But you know what, not every believer

  239. has been blessed with such a beautiful house to worship. Gaudia. We find

  240. the them believers in the early church and had to be contented with having church

  241. in somebody's house. They had to have church in the Catacolta, which was

  242. doing an underground grave yard. Or come on now, who cannot ride where

  243. they had church? They're at the state in Rika they're in the pub where

  244. the public line. Oh no, don't em medicine. I'm telling you who

  245. we can get it together in a can somewhere. We can gether together in

  246. a calcunda if we have to. The church must come back together. Nevertheless,

  247. nevertheless, church is not tuning into a good sermon that has been published

  248. or posted on a podcast. Church is not tuning in the holiness church onliney

  249. and listening to the law, relaxing in your reclintery. They said, a

  250. man between baes or popping or me seeing it now whether they were not working

  251. to princessor or color or not, you see church of his talk to something

  252. doing bea down not to stating Rinka with the youth group. We do not

  253. take her our young people out of services during the midweek service and got in

  254. a staining Greek and party at home and they had improve the posing up before

  255. we send them home to see our guilty and content. That is not church

  256. and young people. You need to remember this. Jesus was speaking concerning binding

  257. and lucy. The verses number eighteen verse from between. Jesus was saying if

  258. his people would come together in unison with the harmony people of my precious faith

  259. people right here on physical earth with the right motives, not to get high,

  260. not to get drunk, not to find an affair, not to get

  261. into relations with a boss man, to get a pay raised or a persistent

  262. advance, or but come with the right motives. Then they would be put

  263. in touch with a heavenly audience and a heavenly Father in a heavenly word.

  264. If they would come together, the spirit of God would move upon spirit,

  265. feel a spirit, let believers say, and they would pray for us,

  266. and they would pray with us. How many of you know that persecution is

  267. a very real Say, there's been a lot of people trial strength at the

  268. local assembly or in the House of God because they came to the House of

  269. God whenever everything else was not working, tried the House of God. I'm

  270. talking about a physical attress, a certain geographic location where the saints of God

  271. gathered together to pray and to praise the Lord. I wonder how many young

  272. people came to church tonight, aimlessly tripting her from my shore the l see

  273. unconcerned about them, never done so, and the things of the Lord.

  274. How many of them are you in this building tonight? Unconcerned about their well

  275. being spiritually, are concerned about their devilment adversaries thinking to destroy. That is

  276. wid become to church because some spiritual believer, the spiritual preacher, will save

  277. their lives and let them know they ought to be concerned. Have you ever

  278. seen it? Have you ever seen it? Some young person's about to make

  279. shipwreck spirits there, and it was avoided because some sisters started crying in the

  280. church service. Some brothers started praying in the spirit. Somebody talked with annoying

  281. somebody preached with annoying somebody testified with annoying it. Somebody exhorted with annoying it.

  282. Somebody praying for that individual in that local assembly, and they were spared

  283. from spiritual shipwreck. In the day of the early Church, the body of

  284. Christ, the believers met in Jewish temples and sentate dogs and houses of fellow

  285. believers. Believers meant and they had church. They did not pick up seashells.

  286. They did not turn bottles. Oh, come on now, they did

  287. not saddle up and white bulls and brocks. No, they had church.

  288. They prayed the cotton and they saved the cot. They had church. I'm

  289. not saying you can't read the Bible to play at a rodeo, but I've

  290. never seen it roam the Papa protractor and everybody put tact about their pills.

  291. The propos poc Jesus, I said, I'm puting Tonnaca. You must come

  292. to tell her. You must come to church. You must put on the

  293. uniform, you must put on your church clothes. Field churching and had church

  294. in the days of the early church Brother Jesse, there were people just literally

  295. begging to get inside him and to hear Jesus, to hear his followers,

  296. to hear what appeared to them to be ignorant, not learned men preaching,

  297. to see the manifestation of the whole he goos working among the apostles and the

  298. believers. They just had to get into church. That they had to tear

  299. the roof off one tile of the time. They had to get the church.

  300. It used to be in this United States of America. Then whenever there

  301. was a tragedy that struck the nation and crippled this nation to her knees.

  302. While this nation was on bend and knees, she prayed the church house would

  303. fill out with default and felt the need to go to Churchill, have you

  304. seen the strategy of Satan? Do you not understand what he has done?

  305. He is in bellished church and said, you know, you can have church

  306. out there after devotion on the sea show and then just take in the waves.

  307. I heard one brother tell me about ten years ago. He said he

  308. got disgusting weed of the Methodist church that he was attending because his grand baby

  309. got saved, and the pastor said, let's have a baptismal service. He

  310. said, well, that sounds good, that sounds decent and in order.

  311. But he said, by the Jesse, when they got riverside, he could

  312. tell that the women had little strings up in none of their shirt, and

  313. little boat ties tied behind their nets. And he could tell that the pastor

  314. had somewhat of something that appeared to be swim trunks on underneath his soup pantser.

  315. And he said, oh, my God, surely not. We're not

  316. gonna baptize my grandson and just prayed in the altar and then have a party

  317. in the river. He said, the pastor baptized his grand baby in the

  318. name of the Father, in the name of the Son, did that name

  319. of the Holy Ghost, and then he put the will to the side.

  320. Then he said, all right, everybody, there will be no church service

  321. tonight. We're gonna have a riverside party and we're just gonna have a time

  322. of fellowship. And they send them girls to wrap their topsa and was in

  323. their bikinis, bikini tops of bikini bottoms, and there was the pastor in

  324. the swim trunks and the deacon of the church in the swim trunks. Can

  325. I tell you they did not have your service? Not doctor or no,

  326. you did not. That's the strategy of safand it's the kid set to the

  327. place where we take there in the Church of hampowsled me. We don't want

  328. to their priority. That Devila started winning thirty years ago when he got us

  329. down there one service a week, I said, the devil started winning.

  330. They started having youth back a big week service and the trunk the youth out

  331. of the House of God. Now I'm telling you the temple shatter and the

  332. leeds, that's whim they shadowed. That's the Church of walk time and the

  333. house up talk. I said that donal salad, but that's the trunch to

  334. dal down to got the house of doll. It's my successor ever tells you

  335. we're gonna have a river party down there opm service, not after we have

  336. baptismal service. None. May God open your eyes to real life. You

  337. have seen the end of something that was once so beautiful. What about here

  338. in our country? What about in Iran? What about in China? Are

  339. there people meeting in houses tonight? There are certain believers meeting and houses tonight

  340. because they cannot meet publicly. Oh, come on, now, their national

  341. leaders have not approved of their assembling, but nevertheless they are assembling themselves together.

  342. What about here in our country, our nation called America. Are we

  343. continuing to have services? Are the doors continuing to be left open and the

  344. lightshold word? No, there's a lot of churches that have their door closed

  345. up. When you come to church on Sunday night, when you come to

  346. church on Wednesday night midweek services, the lights are off at the neighbor houses.

  347. Oh God, I want you to know that the churches of Malaysia had

  348. church and they left the lights home. The churches of Asia they had church,

  349. and the churches of Macedonia had church, and the Church of Jerusalem had

  350. church, and the Church of Antioch had church, and a Church of God

  351. at correct they had church and a church at this in Anaco they had church

  352. fully concilan was there system of clearly? Was there a policy? Was there?

  353. Peter's father, what's there? I'll telling you that believal church regularly.

  354. I said that bel was at ending the church regularly. Where's the here's a

  355. love on Jim. In that day, certain disciples were found as symbolt together

  356. in this day, Charity Howell an Irish looms still go to church regularly.

  357. Bethel, we are blessed to be able to freely meet in this period tonight

  358. in a forty eighty house to worship. We meet freely right now for now.

  359. But will persecution come up to part Americans American Christians? Yes, let

  360. me be clear, Americans that are non Christian will not be persecuted. They're

  361. gonna lay their head down or the devil's chap baka that are received the mock

  362. of the peace and be eternally down. No, non Christians will not be

  363. persecuted. They will go with the spirit of the Antichrist. But in these

  364. United States of America, do you see now why the devil's fighting me the

  365. way he is? So It's true that persecution we'll come to America. I

  366. said, it's true that persecution will increase in the last days. In the

  367. Last Day Church will be a persecuted church. Even though the Last Day Church

  368. will be a persecuted church, they will steal meet in a symbol, even

  369. if they are forced to meet again in people's houses, in the fields of

  370. wood or in the catacombs. The word of God is clear, and so

  371. much more. As you see the day of approaching, there won't be any

  372. coward hard people in heaven. There won't be anybody with a chicken liver for

  373. a heart in heaven. There won't be anybody that says, you know what

  374. persecution has come been the how? And the congregation is going to be martyrs

  375. tomorrow. I believe I'm got a little bit sick to my stomach and just

  376. have thought of it. I'm gonna lay out, No, you're gonna have

  377. to drag yourself to the House of God, thank God, less of work

  378. by top. That's so much fase, he said, if they will to

  379. preach it. But did I'm not saying this is the word of God,

  380. this is the sun God, this is his word. And he said,

  381. he leave us so much bad doesn't seen the day a prince it. Let's

  382. look at one more things in this golden text. Didn't it say that at

  383. the local assembly we will have folks fellow believers exhorting. It said that,

  384. Yes, a thousand times, yes, that said that. Now, let's

  385. teach you something here. A person can only exhort to someone if they let

  386. them exhort to them. And they can exhort to someone who is close to

  387. them. If you're involved in their lives, you can exhort to them.

  388. If they let you be involved in their life, you can exhort to them.

  389. Some people stay away from the assembly, the gathering of the Saints,

  390. in order to keep someone from trying to speak into their life. They keep

  391. the church at a distance on purpose. They keep the preacher at a distance

  392. from them, a safe distance from them on purpose. The reason why they

  393. don't draw now to the street preacher is because they're keeping a safe distance between

  394. them and the street preacher. Very few people will approach her, the street

  395. preacher, because her. Even if they approach the street preacher with the mindset

  396. to challenge him and to set the record stranger, if that is a man

  397. loaded with the gospel gun is loaded with the word of God. He will

  398. blow them away with their gospel. And they know this. But come on,

  399. now, what did the person before to say? And let us consider

  400. one another to provoke her one another UNTI love and good work. So Mala

  401. tessey, you notice to be true. If they only attend service every once

  402. in a while, they feel like they will avoid a personal relationship with the

  403. pastor and the person lady. They want to pull in a personal relationship with

  404. them and the church family. They want to put personal interaction between them and

  405. the preacher. How could the preacher ever hit them if they only show up

  406. a f Eastern and Christmas, I say, ah, you will all go.

  407. Why then, know what? It won't be treaching us. The matter,

  408. the reason of God for what kind of trucks with you is because they

  409. have had what that person cooks say golu that who cares what Jesus said?

  410. What is that? Just the book? Now go back to the first fifteen

  411. minutes of my preacher were well established what this is, and it's perfect the

  412. way it is, and I embrace it to what it says, and don't

  413. embellish it. Believers meant and believers had church by the Jesse. People try

  414. to avoid personal interaction with the preacher or with the pastor. I thought the

  415. members of the Body of Christ are in a relationship with the Lord and with

  416. one another. We need more interaction, not loss. I'm going to say

  417. that again. We need more interaction, not lost. We need more church

  418. services, not less. How many of you understand that I thank God for

  419. that youth service and the pri one Friday of the month, I thank God

  420. prepare services at Pride thirty on sudden evening. And we need bayor church services

  421. or not less than how many of you know the close server we get to

  422. leave it out of here, the mayor church that we need. And if

  423. you got the Holy Ghost, that does not mean it's okay for you to

  424. sit in your fine house and the lay outrapal service. If you've got the

  425. Holy ghost to have a little world cuts you at church that God blessed to

  426. you, that does not mean now he just putting new trump that coaster cuts

  427. your daser and aside. We and we are not to a church out your

  428. church as preaping her as our rest her becau I seen that day approaching her

  429. with Jesus respect that Eastern style. I must have church. I must have

  430. church. The stand I must have church. I've heard sister wouldn't say there's

  431. time and again, time and again, over over and over over, time

  432. after time, again after again and again she'd say, I don't know what

  433. I'd do if I didn't have this little church to come to. Does everybody

  434. in this building feel that? Does everybody share listen to this? Does everybody

  435. in this building really feel that? What if I didn't have that pastor,

  436. what if I didn't have that teaching, What if I didn't have that first

  437. lady, What if I didn't have them elders? What if I didn't have

  438. a place together. I've already said, it doesn't matter if it's the house

  439. of Mary, the mother of John Mark, or if it's Peter's house,

  440. or if it's a senate God or a temple, or come on, a

  441. tent or something, or this precious building that we're in tonight. We are

  442. together together. The devil will figured out how to disarm the church. He

  443. deactivated the church in the eighties. I witnessed it when they started taking the

  444. youth groups out on Wednesday night. I remember that first service that our youth

  445. pastor spoke to us in our midweek service family Training Hour class. We quit

  446. having regular service inside of the church. They had Family Training Hour. Basically

  447. it was just another Sunday school of sorts and they separated everybody that had Royal

  448. Rangers. They had the teen class. I will never forget when our youth

  449. pastor said, I talked to the pastor and the senior pastor and the associate

  450. pastor said, it's okay, we're fixing the load. Everybody up and we're

  451. gonna go to the McDonald's in town and we're gonna have a good time of

  452. fun and fellowship. He said, I ain't teaching anything tonight, and Brother

  453. Staring, I will say this. By the time those people got done partying,

  454. he felt guilty about that and had a brief devotional with everybody and then

  455. praying a quick prayer that he was ashamed of because he was praying in public

  456. and he felt like a big hypocrite. And I know some of the things

  457. that went on between some of them young people before they left McDonald's and before

  458. they got back to the church to meet up with their parents and Brother Jesse

  459. may I say there would have been a whole lot safer in the house of

  460. God with spirit. Filled with spirit, move people obeying God. Come on,

  461. I'm telling you you never know when that young person standing next to you

  462. needs that prayer, needs you to put that hand on their back and to

  463. pray that prayer of faith, having to pray those encouraging words. I'm telling

  464. you there's some children in this building tonight. Well, and the only teens

  465. perhaps are in their mental early twenties. There's some young people in this building

  466. tonight. They are unconcerned about their soul. It doesn't matter to them.

  467. But whether or not we have church here. We're down on the seashore.

  468. They're just good. From whatever goes. I'll just come with a blow.

  469. If you're comfromise tomorrow, I'm okay with that. I'm telling you it should

  470. devastate you at the base of the church designed by Jesus. Changes in the

  471. class of the church TVs will one degree, of course. It should be

  472. an alarment to you, Sister how and I know exactly what I preach about

  473. tonight. Sister Wood knows exactly what I preach about tonight. No charismatic churches

  474. found everything to do with their young people but church, but expose them to

  475. the spirit of God, and when them young people figured out they had to

  476. entertain people, and when they figured out that they had poor entertainment in the

  477. House of God and could have got a better show up the road. I

  478. remember when my peers decided they'd rather go to the movies on Sunday night.

  479. I know what I'm on here to night. I remember when they felt disinterested

  480. in going to church. I remember sitting out on the porch at Buddy's Bready's

  481. restaurant with a prominent family and a local Assembly of God. We were between

  482. services. I remember the first time I heard that prominent woman that was a

  483. Sunday school teacher in that first Assembly of God that looked like it ran nearly

  484. two hundred people. She said, you know what I think, rather than

  485. going to church tonight, we'll just go across the street and watch a movie.

  486. You get that mindset when you bring movies to church, when you bring

  487. entertainment on the platform and you get rid of the anority. You develop that

  488. mindset when you take away the church dress and the church a uniform that we

  489. all wear, and you start trying to look like you belong in a rodeo,

  490. and you start looking like you blow on a skateboard instead of in the

  491. house of God. We lose our respect for the House of God, the

  492. things of God, and they're people of God. When we bring the world

  493. into the church, I say, let the world be the world and let

  494. the church be the church about God in heaven. I feel liberty. I

  495. feel liberty. Assembly required it. Do you know why you're here tonight?

  496. Sixty something people are other together tonight? Huh? Do y'all know why you're

  497. gathered together? To not? It's by divine providence, It's a divine assembly.

  498. It's by orchestration of God. Almighty God has put each one in their

  499. proper place. And I'm preaching to somebody right now. You watching YouTube the

  500. way you're doing concerning end time prophecy, it's making you mad, it's making

  501. you crazy. When you prophesy and say things are going to happen and they

  502. don't happen. You are a false prophet or a false prophetess who get deranged

  503. and deluded when you listen to their false prophets on YouTube that are nothing more

  504. than entertainers. I'm telling you, I'm not looking for the Book of Enoch.

  505. Somebody gave me a copy of the Book of Enoch. Do you know

  506. where it ended up? Do y'all know what foul number thirteen is? The

  507. trash Kim, I've never read it, and I don't think I'm any less

  508. of a preacher by not having read it. If it ain't in this book,

  509. in that Bible, I said, if you ain't he was holding Bible.

  510. Oh ain't Bible. And for the hippopinco we left that side of them

  511. goes to die and say what I like the book to read it. We'll

  512. see if you're still a lover of this book ten years from now. You

  513. gotta be careful with that extra cur report reading material. But ask for me.

  514. I will not embellish the Bible. Ask for me. I will not

  515. embellis him to church. I will embrace it to just the way it is.

  516. I will thank God for his suitor and his time. I will thank

  517. God for his trust frights and his trust shirt. I will thank God for

  518. her pet, for Tressa. I will thank Tod. Can I mean still

  519. know how be addressed? And I wouldn't still understand how woman's pras my God.

  520. We just bow our heads tonight. We've been giving something very valuable.

  521. We have been entrusted with it. We must be consistent and prove faithful when

  522. it comes to our church. We can prove ourselves faithful by having great church

  523. attendants. I feel the Holy Gurst in this place. It was a blessing

  524. to my soul two weeks ago where my son sam it takes to me an

  525. hour and a half before church, and he said, I'm ready for some

  526. church. It was the beginning of this message. I'm ready because the church.

  527. Why are the spiritual leaders of most churches today not allowing the congregation to

  528. meet more frequently. If they were Samuel's pastor, he would still be saying

  529. I'm ready for a church, but there would be no church. Why are

  530. people in church families becoming less involved in their communities in their churches. Why

  531. do people not love church? I've been preaching a lot here lately about Asaf.

  532. There's been much said about Asaf, and we have given him high regard

  533. and commendation. But Brother Nathaniel, this just came to mind. I'm nowhere

  534. near my notes, and you'll see this is not in my notes. Psalm

  535. chapter number seventy three speaks of the burden of Asaf's heart. Asaf said,

  536. when I consider the prosperity of the wicked, and when I see how just

  537. nonchalantly go on, and he seemed to prosper and succeed in life. I

  538. questioned certain things. But then asf goes on to state, but when I

  539. went to church, I considered their end, sweet love of God. Some

  540. of y'all are getting this, and some of y'all. It doesn't matter whether

  541. we have a church here or not. But I can say I thank God

  542. for a physical address of eleven fifty three corpo you'll drive. I thank God

  543. for people to still put a high value on having good altars in between the

  544. front pie and the platform. I said, I thank God for a church

  545. and still has altars in it. I thank God for a church it still

  546. puts a value on our prayer warriors. I said, I thank God for

  547. people he put a high value on praise all. Thank God, Thank God,

  548. thank God. Let's find a place to pray. Could we do that?

  549. I really feel like we need to embrace church for what it is.

  550. We should not be looking for anything more than what we have. It's enough.

  551. It's enough. Let the church be the church and let the people rejoice.

  552. Do you love church? Do you love church out forsaking the sibling of

  553. ourselves together as the mayor of son is, but exhorting one another so much

  554. the more as you see the day of trach braces, embracing as we don't

  555. need a dance team. We don't need a biotea. We don't need flashing

  556. as we need tear stack alts. We need tears saved. We need preachers

  557. that are we need so fine. That's a church, be the church.

  558. I feel the sweet holy ghost in this place. Let's have a church,

  559. shall we? Let's have church, not online church. Let's get together.

  560. Should simply it's requiem. It's not option, it's a requirement. Songs people,

  561. it's there a congregation, a congregation, a little town called the Bell

  562. and no fever, twas table age with their still you're persecuting the child the

  563. church for gentlemen, there's going to rains on this place on pason. Thank

  564. God. The church is still church. It's not a circus. Enter this

  565. church. It's not a circus. Teacher, take away all the search,
