  5. obey the Lord and pour into you as the Lord has poured into us,

  7. Holy Ghost title, get a handle own It. Brother Nathaniel, Second Kings,

  8. chapter number six, verses number four through seven, Brother Jesse, Hebrews,

  9. chapter number eleven, and verse number six. If you're saved and you

  10. know it, say Amen. Sounds to me like everybody in this building it's

  11. saved. But it also sounds like you're shouted out. I'm telling you,

  12. we have praised the Lord and shouted the high praises of our God for nearly

  13. one and a half hours. But I feel like it's the will of God

  14. tonight that we preach. I don't always feel like that. Preaching behind a

  15. movement God is not something I always do, but I do feel like who

  16. is in this building tonight needs to hear what the Spirit says unto this church

  17. tonight, Brother Nathaniel second Kings, chapter number six, verses number four through

  18. seven. So he went with them. When they came to Jordan, they

  19. cut wood, but as one was felling of being, the axe had fell

  20. into the water. And he cried and said, a last master, for

  21. it was barroom. And the Man of God said where fell it? And

  22. he shoot in the place, and he cut down, sticking it and cast

  23. it in thither, and the iron did swim. Therefore said he'd take it

  24. up to thee. And he put out his hand and took it. Praise

  25. the Lord. How many of you are familiar with those verses of scripture?

  26. You've read that story before, Brother Jesse Hebrews, chapter number eleven and verse

  27. number six. Without faith, it is impossible to please him. Or he

  28. that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a

  29. rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Okay, he is a rewarder of

  30. them that diligently seek him. Well you say that with me, he is

  31. a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Did not Brother Nathan to read

  32. to us in the sixth chapter of the Book of Second Kings, that this

  33. young prophet cried out to the elder prophet Master a last, for it was

  34. ball road. He was seeking assistance and help from an elder preacher, also

  35. seeking assistance and help from the Lord. God is a rewarder of them that

  36. diligently seek him. Let's stand for the reading of our texts tonight, Second

  37. Chronicles, chapter number twenty six and verse number five. And the Bible said,

  38. and he sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in

  39. the visions of God. And as long as he salt, the Lord God

  40. made him to prosper. Read the latter part of that verse with me after

  41. the colder. And as long as he salt, the Lord God made him

  42. to prosper. Heaven of you know, it is very important that all of

  43. the children of God seek him while he may be found. Let's pray,

  44. Heavenly Father, we love and we praise you. We thank you for the

  45. opportunity to be in this house. That is a house that is named after

  46. you, God, a place that has been consecrated unto you, a house

  47. of worship that has been dedicated where the saints of God come into this place

  48. and worship you in the beauty of holiness and sanctification, coming out from that

  49. world and being separated unto you. This Sunday God, in October twenty twenty

  50. three, we pray that you would annoy this thy servants and a god in

  51. my mouth, and help me to say the things that you would happen to

  52. say nothing more than less, and anoint the years of this thy people,

  53. that they might hear what the spirits saith to the churches. We pray God,

  54. let these saiths go below the shoulders that I'm getting that Herd. I

  55. pray God, help us to not be hearers only, but to heed the

  56. truth of your word. And maybe we depart this place and jot live and

  57. not sorrowly. In Jesus' name. Amen, look at your neighbor and saying,

  58. hey, neighbor, get a handle on it, okay. Our text

  59. is found in an Old Testament book of the Holy Bible, the Book of

  60. Second Chronicles. If there is a Second Chronicles, then there must be a

  61. First Chronicles. If there's a first and second Chronicles, this means that there

  62. must have been a chronicler, someone that is the author of these two books

  63. of the Bible. Somebody that is giving us an accurate written record of the

  64. national history of the nation of Israel and the nation of Judah. Someone who

  65. put penned the parchment and left this written record behind for the generations that would

  66. follow him. The author of this book of the Bible had a good handle

  67. on the things of God. We also know that the author of this book

  68. of the Bible had a good handle on the story of David, or the

  69. life story of the sweet Songist of Israel. In fact, the author of

  70. this writing this book of the Bible, he follows the life of David,

  71. he follows the life of Sulivan, and he also follows the life of the

  72. descendants of both of these great men of God. David and his son Solomon

  73. were undoubted airport yet greatly beloved kings over the nation of Israel when it was

  74. in its glorious state as a unified nation or a unified people. At the

  75. time that they governed over the nation of Israel along with the Nation of Judah,

  76. they were no doubt how they anointed of God have been cause of this

  77. great favor that they had with the Lord, and this anointing that they both

  78. possessed God unified the nation. Isn't it a blessing to serve under God fear

  79. and leadership that God has favored. We find over that there came a time

  80. in the descendant's life of David his descendants they found their self living in a

  81. separated or a divided nation. We find that it is no longer unified,

  82. but it is divided. Unfortunately, the chronicler or the author has to let

  83. us know that things have deteriorated for the worst. So things have deteriorated for

  84. the descendants of David. Regarding the leadership, things have deteriorated. They have

  85. not improved. And find the situation regarding Israel has not improved at all.

  86. At some point, at some point, the fine themselves losing their grip on

  87. their unified nation, and it quickly begins the spiral downward because no one seems

  88. to be able to get a handle on the situation. The tragic result is

  89. the kingdom has been split in twain and David's descendants were enough to govern the

  90. nation of Tunah only. How many of you old timers in this building are

  91. familiar with the statement, Hey, you need to get a handle on it.

  92. There's very few of you in this building that has been alive long enough

  93. to know that. That is an expression that elder people use sometimes when they're

  94. trying to tell somebody you need to begin to understand and to come to a

  95. knowledge that you need to be able to deal with something. I want to

  96. tell you here to die, I'm preaching to you about getting a handle own

  97. that situation. In other words, we need you to come to a place

  98. where you can gain control over a really difficult This situation is a difficult I

  99. want you to get where you can gain control over these really difficult situations you're

  100. alive, like a lack of desire to play, lack of disinterest, scree

  101. in God. It must be a difficulture situation because it seems to be out

  102. of your control. It does not matter how many servants the preacher preachers.

  103. It doesn't matter how hard the pastor calls, how many scheduled the revivals,

  104. US spontaneous revivals we have. It seems like you cannot get a handle or

  105. a situation that I need a prayer life. I need to be able to

  106. praiser the Lord with complete uninity of I'm going to be victorious if we look

  107. at our gold and text again Second Chronicles twenty six, and found the Bible

  108. speaking of you, Siah said, And he sought God in the day's of

  109. Secondariah, who had understandings and the peasons of God. And as long as

  110. something the toad made him that prosper. There is no doubt that sucker Riah

  111. and got a handle on his prayer life. There is no doubt that's Sucker

  112. Riah practice self discipline and had mustered himself and theoded and parted irons, just

  113. seeking God. A man that's not stumbling across the prayer life, a man

  114. that's not stumbling across the Lord. We must seek him. Rot he made

  115. that he found. Now, if you're gonna quiet him, it won't be

  116. absolutely, it will be delivering me that intentionally. You've got to seek him.

  117. I feel them devils that you've been fighting. I feel them, and

  118. not the devil gonna let you the land to seek, Todd. I'm telling

  119. you the only way of all love, wretcha, is to teach yourself to

  120. seek the Lord. I've seen preachers before get envious, becoming envious and get

  121. jealous because of a preacher preaching with anointing. They say how does he preach

  122. like that. He must have a big library, He must have access to

  123. materials with these kind of sermons in it no city one. That is not

  124. the answer. The answer is we get this divine inspiration while talking to the

  125. Lord on our knees. We got the right pattern, We've got the right

  126. posture. We know how to seek the Lord. Seeking the Lord does not

  127. consist of going to dairy clean and awing a blizzard and going Maryland, parking

  128. Bible river and praying between bites. Seeking the Lord is leaning your heart and

  129. earnest and seeking the Lord to find his grace and his paper. You can

  130. knot get around there, sir. If you won't to prospect, you must

  131. seek him. That they buy the said that this man and second royals in

  132. office as priests and prophet me silent sought the Lord properly. Well, what

  133. happens when our pastor dies unexpectedly? What happens when God sends our pastor elsewhere

  134. unexpectedly? We better get a handle and this situation, if you've got a

  135. terminal illness, you're gonna get it the handle there this situation, I appreciate

  136. what gonna say you preach to us, a less Sunday night about Kiso guaranteed

  137. that I had not been anxious or nervous at all about anything. Are the

  138. things that devil has thrown our way, Nor have I lost sleep. But

  139. I will tell you this. For anybody that's ever been healed, for anybody

  140. that's ever been filled, they've had the secret from Lord for that healing their

  141. classter. Whether I am telling me for the holy GIRs, I'd just not

  142. gonna get it without seeking after it. I since alast loxy basical attitude because

  143. of laziness. I'm not here to not to be your friend. I'm here

  144. to not to be your pastor. And the Bible said that he sought God

  145. as long as he had sick or right. As long as we've got the

  146. pastor. There's longness. We've got a few elders, there's long us.

  147. Somebody saying that you're pay there's long How somebody comes to church, they may

  148. mistaish, they may say that you think the suit garden. I saw he

  149. in there. They're standing up towards the front. In recent services. He

  150. didn't drift back. It was olding a few services ago. I saw him

  151. so close to me. Feel we at hearing gus to lock happened. They

  152. love happened. Look, we can't just see that little You can't just seecret.

  153. We did feel life of it. We've got the secret to brother Zacarria.

  154. There's the lahadd I got a burden to pinch you. N I don't

  155. think just talking to you in a monotone voice, we'll get the photographs.

  156. I don't even know that I'm talking to a sensible individual anymore. I don't

  157. even know that I'm talking to an intelligent individual anymore. For when God holdbody

  158. speaks and he says, no, I am not pleased with you. You

  159. have not sought me enough. You have not sought me as one that would

  160. pursue after the prey. You have not diligent me and earnestly prayed for your

  161. brother there, your sister, or your husband, or you're a wild You

  162. don't what through side of this longness that the riot is around as long as

  163. he's getting annoing a and proper side. I'm preaching that you feel the need

  164. to pray, You feel the need to tide the nation of his rec through

  165. and tears and through tear stained and notes that I'm telling you what are you

  166. doing there when nobody else says, arived, what are you doing? Are

  167. you praying or are you praying that? I said, what in the world

  168. are you doing? Are he's sneaking or he's seeking? I'm saying the knights,

  169. God let me there. You've anty packed up and you're hiding them.

  170. The stoper you take back on in the stopper, I say you take back.

  171. Then they say that not selling good, say that problems. They say

  172. that that's a You've got to be moving forward. You gotta get a hand

  173. out of the situation. This situation is out of your control. It's obvious.

  174. There's not an avanceless that can turn you. There's not a sermon of

  175. the pastor creatures that can help you. Do you realize how dangious city is

  176. for a soul to be in a place where they are past feeling. Past

  177. feeling means being past. Help here over the jesse that used to be in

  178. yesteryear, the times of yesterday, we could say to the congregation pray.

  179. They did not need to be an explanation as to why we must pray.

  180. We knew without a doubta there was something pending. There was something just up

  181. the road. That was gonna take place, and it was appointed because of

  182. the Holy Gusta set the church to watch him and set the church to pray

  183. and seeking the face of God. Listen, just because her we put the

  184. presence of cod in the building a Sunday morning, a Sunday. No,

  185. that's not me. The presidence of come walked out that dare with you.

  186. Moses prayer with enrollment said unless you go with me, ah, we are

  187. not gold. We need to know why the Holy moss seek my face.

  188. Come on now, we need to know why the Holy God said. See

  189. now. What's troubling and disturbing is the thinking that somebody crossed their fingers and

  190. their tooth and was thinking, maybe that has passed. Maybe God has forgot

  191. about it, maybe the Holy Ghost has forgotten about it. No, I

  192. have not forgot the gravity of the Almighty God of Heaven. In hers speaking

  193. to us and saying, you need to desire me. I desire to seek

  194. the Lord because I desire to be in his presence. The Summer said,

  195. when he said up to me, seek my face, I said it to

  196. him, the Lord thy face will seek it on paarapraise it. Come on

  197. now to be in his presence is to be before him. I know the

  198. two or three hogether together in his name today, and we have been here

  199. in this prais. But we need to be in his prayers when we're driving

  200. on the highway. We need to be in his favor, when we're on

  201. the chop And that pleasing is parting with you to me in his case and

  202. in his favor, not on the job. When you ben come to be

  203. in harm's way. You need to be before him. I said, you

  204. clearly need to be in his presence. So one O five, verse number

  205. four goes like this, seek the Lord and his strength. Seek his face,

  206. every boy, this homist said, seek his face ever boy. That

  207. means that there not be a time or a moment in your life when you

  208. can say I have ceased from seeking the Lord. In Sun chapter number thirty

  209. four, verse number ten, the Bible spoke concerning the young lions of the

  210. body, lions that they lacked and suffered hunger. But the Bible said,

  211. though those young lions may be lacking and suffered you to hunger pains that the

  212. righteous of the Lord shall not want any good thing. The righteous of the

  213. Lord shall not want any good thing but before that it goes like this.

  214. But they that seek the Lord alone shall not want. And he did say,

  215. young man, you can ask God for their beginning and you will not

  216. receive it. But you can ask God for a source of transportation that will

  217. take you to work there. It may or may not have air conditioning,

  218. and God We'll provided the sun has said. Things that seek God shall not

  219. want any to say. Come on in deep content, sir, when you

  220. pray for it? Can you ask God for it? Can you seek copp

  221. Yes, you conceit. For a wife, the God said, they that

  222. pinds of wife, meaning a man that poinds of wife, find it a

  223. cintainment the obtain a paper from the Lord. A man cannot ask God for

  224. a companion get a man, but you can't seek God it with counsel prepanion.

  225. Where the opposite sick say my God, or what another fuck? It?

  226. We not to put upon the things say that we can seek God for

  227. we can seek him. Contain said, are you willing to do it?

  228. You can seeking for salvation, you can seeking for sanctification. You can see

  229. him for the end dwelling of the Holy ghost. But you can't seek him

  230. to get ahead of your brother. You can't seek him for your coveteous desires.

  231. You can't seek him for something that don't belong to you. You can't

  232. seek him. Oh come on, now, I'm talking to somebody right here.

  233. You see this son of Amaziah realizes I am a young man. How

  234. old was Eysiah when he became king? The Bible teaches us the chronicler.

  235. He chronicler said he was sixteen years of age when he began to govern the

  236. nation of Judah. Yes, he's perceived a remnant of what his daddy and

  237. his granddaddy had her sister. Howell, he knew I better seek the Lord.

  238. At sixteen years of age. He becomes a reformer of search, and

  239. he does wonderful things. Why because I writer is walking by. Wow.

  240. That because there's Aphi piece and say coming down to set me in that.

  241. Wow? That is he seeking the know. No thing can be said that

  242. about you, Siah, that I cannot say about you, that he was

  243. wearing to seek God. That when others say they're seeking the old man,

  244. you're not too young man. Young keep talk, you're not too young man.

  245. You never get a hand in on the say I'm telling you that you

  246. gotter get control about this situation and learn what it is like to go into

  247. the garden or the cemetery and pray that affectional per prayer you matter get had

  248. on it. Elijah was a man subject to locked passions as we are,

  249. but he prayed, well, when you pray, what do you pray to

  250. a lifeless god? A little gee, what who do you pray to?

  251. You to the living God? Right? And you don't ask amiss that you

  252. might consume things upon your own lust. But I'm telling you there's people just

  253. a wounding in this fielding. They feel like, after my departure and after

  254. your departure, that they're gonna come to this revelation that they must get a

  255. handle on it. I want you to know if you lose this power that

  256. God has given you and you refuse to put a handle on it and get

  257. a taxed to them, now, there is no way you're going to get

  258. a handle put tua the ass head and get attached to the power of God.

  259. When your grandma's dead, when your pastor's dead, when something rise,

  260. don't know your prezza, what God tell you, the preacher? You think,

  261. what these people we're gonna miss the ratser and Sadden. You're gonna have

  262. a desire to seek God. I'm not reading the book that I saw it

  263. a Christian books up had a surproblem. Keep getting told I'm not planning that.

  264. Listen to Rasswer. I gotta see God. No, I'm not playing

  265. on sinking the Lord. And after the church is gone, I don't even

  266. know if it's possible to be honest with him. If you can't ride right

  267. now in the days of the footman, how are you gonna do in the

  268. times of the horsemen. I feel the anoughting to God to preach to youth

  269. tonight. You better get a hand alon it. I said, you better

  270. get a handle on it. Right after I come down here, just after

  271. I turned thirty I think I was thirty one, and I had hearn for

  272. this people that were three or four of us here, and it just seemed

  273. like it was slow going, getting people motivated, trying to see church glove

  274. to preaching a saint dead as we do now, singing a saint then as

  275. we do now, having great booze of God. And I came to church

  276. one night and I preached a message, don't throw your hammer down. What

  277. had happened that afternoon while I was napping, I had a dream or a

  278. vision of a claw hammer who have been flying through the ear that is splashing

  279. a pool of sand, and I saw it splash him and little Jessea,

  280. God got the deal them with me that even a monk, just a hand

  281. pull that we were newly working with you. There are people that had been

  282. in this a long time and they had threwn the hammer down. They didn't

  283. see the user, and having prayer meeting they didn't see the user. They're

  284. having a revival, they didn't see the user. Then having an annoyed preaching

  285. they didn't see the user, and having an annoyed service say oh, I

  286. want just let the doctor treat it, and say well, I have a

  287. little sermon their care or out a little Sunday school. Listen when the teacher

  288. just reaching out of a book that they were doing Russa throwing the hammer down

  289. attached to that handle was all a head of a hammer. But tonight,

  290. I'm not talking about the good hammer in his self right, I'm talking about

  291. the handle. You gotta get to the hold of this. You better realize

  292. it. Its holiness for hell who want to realize it the Mother's right and

  293. the world is wrong, that you gotta get a grew up of honest handle.

  294. They do understand. Who can only take the tale on this life right

  295. with the word of the Lord. That's the only way we can be successful.

  296. It's getting a burden to seek God, a burden to seek the Lord.

  297. It was a Saturday afternoon the Lord spoke to me concerning becoming a prayer

  298. addict. I've always had a decent prayer life at times that I've always had

  299. a good life, a good, good, good prayer life. I mean,

  300. Brother Gabriel, but was just praying. I said, God, let

  301. me become one of them prayer warriors of yesteryear, like praying Hide who prayed

  302. until his knees became swollen. Luck of Campbell's knees is disfigured. Rel Jesse

  303. from the incessant kneeling down that big beast of burden and kneel down and it'll

  304. stand up and owns knees have overcompensated because of the bending action with under the

  305. burden. And that is hell. It should be with us as pilgrims walking

  306. through this traine land. We ought to be praying and asking the Lord to

  307. help us with guidance. We need navigation. I'm telling you, without seeking

  308. the Lord and asking for the old passer, you can end up on the

  309. wrong way that leads to destructure. Before you know it, that mirror road.

  310. We'll have a detailed road and you'll find yourself on the broadway that leads

  311. her to destructure. I'm preaching to you, that's what jeremiha he said,

  312. ask you for the old passare is the good way that some of you looking

  313. for another way? I want you to know your own pastor has a prayer

  314. of my opponent, the only passor by the study on it with all the

  315. reading plans. And he took me picked up the word, I don't have

  316. a problem probaly seeking God. I don't have a problem kidnap and none see

  317. that success. I preached recently Zechariah the same Zachary, I believe the same.

  318. Charai told the rubble boy. He said, he said these words.

  319. He says not by Mike, nor by spirit, nor by Mike, but

  320. by my spirit saith the Lord of Host. Huh, Well, you beout.

  321. You've gotta be seeking the Lord if you're gonna have his spirit. You

  322. gotta be seeking the Lord if you're gonna have his favor. A church that

  323. is blessed has His spirit in it. The Holy Ghost is actively participating and

  324. moving in it. If a church is gonna prosper and bring forth fruit,

  325. and that fruit is gonna remain, and the fruit is gonna multiply upon that

  326. tree, if they're gonna prosper, they've gotta seek the Lord to prosper.

  327. Come on, now, the Bible readers and the Bible students in this book

  328. know a little bit more about Usiah than probably the average person in this field

  329. of knows. But even though he ascended to the role at the early age

  330. of sixteen, this man governed over the nation of Tudor for fifty something years.

  331. Sister, we just long enough to get weary in the way of doing

  332. Now, Church, can you imagine this young man having to rule a nason,

  333. not only a nation, but a nason a church people God's peep boy,

  334. who are frushing and fighting with their neighbors, their brothers and sisters who

  335. claimed to be God's people. Also imagine a sixteen year old how to do

  336. that. The neighboring nation is the nation of Israel. What's he gonna do.

  337. He heard how good David had it, he heard how good Solomon had

  338. it. He got to get ahold of had a situation. Get a hand

  339. there, head hold it. I don't tell you that is exactly what Elisha

  340. did when he saw the matel and Elijah come falling down out of that chariot.

  341. He got a hold of it. They said, do you not there

  342. that your master's gonna be taken away today? Do you not go over?

  343. Things not gonna be like they wanted? But Elisha got to he of it.

  344. I'm tell him the hold is church. We need everybody that in the

  345. field. You haven't caring you are We're not get a hold of it this

  346. time. Go not pump, but by prayer and pasting. That's how churches

  347. grow. If you see a church in this generation that's not growing, it's

  348. not because of the lives of Hastor said, this is a difficult area.

  349. Where in the world is it not difficult to Pastor tell me and I'll go

  350. it. It's not because God is not still saving. It's not because it's

  351. got built to the remnant the chosen few. Somebody has got to get a

  352. hold of the handle. Somebody's got to get a handle on this thing and

  353. realize God is still in business. God was still in business up until Noah

  354. pitched the last board. God is gonna still be in business in the soul

  355. saving business until then the preacher has preached his last servant. I call it

  356. to the lot. There's gonna be people knelt there the sight of any patching

  357. altar and repent and praying and asking God to save the saying when the trumpet

  358. sounds her, Hey, come on now, I'm talking about swipple preachers that

  359. will say the reason why are church is not calling, it's because of this

  360. is the world's gonna be in the end. They till no that I'm talking.

  361. It's not sing. That's here boxing and you are gonna have a a

  362. that and realize God is the same res today to pay it toever you'll head

  363. alone, fuddy until he says, until he says, somebody's gonna handle on

  364. it. All we need to do is fire some pastors. We need to

  365. fire some impostors Jesus, some impostor Christ and some impostor pastors, and we

  366. need to get into soul saving business. We need to fire them. Preachers

  367. are not only are they trying to make aid. They're making one one hour

  368. in the week that cancels Sunday in our service and midweek service. They're not

  369. seeking the Lord. That's why they're not prospering. They say, you size

  370. salt the aad, look at our gun texts, and when he's salt in

  371. the lad he prospered. There's somebody in this building. I said about three

  372. or four weeks ago. I said, when you get to the place you

  373. lay your face and the ground of fire forest, and you pray, and

  374. you passed until you throw up over stumps, and I speak from expirits,

  375. and you rend your heart, and you have a broken and a meeting a

  376. contract spirit before God. Have you ask God Jehovah Chabah to supply your needs.

  377. It doesn't matter if it's property, it doesn't matter. If it's a

  378. house, it doesn't matter. If it's companionship, it doesn't matter. If

  379. it's help me get rid of the bad attitude. You pray until you pray

  380. in it true? Do you know? I will not tell what happened,

  381. but something is miraculous. Has anything you have ever heard in your life took

  382. place? Because they simply listen to their pastor Teresa Wallace, is it true?

  383. She said, I know that God is with my pastor. I know

  384. that I'm not gonna get a prayer through until I openy God and through an

  385. exactly God's way. It doesn't out of His name and God. What teresay

  386. Lolla say when God said seek me parent that you've got seeking pay t if

  387. you much she have bulls? Do you have the details of this modern miracle

  388. of how God can make a way? Will there seeming to be no way?

  389. Young man, you need a home for a bride, as Teresa Wallas,

  390. you fast and you pray about it. Young man, you need a

  391. set of wheels and the chiefs pickup truck. You can find a line of

  392. thirty five hundred dollars, so I stealing a wood about it. You can

  393. faster and prayer, seek the Lord and you get a better deal. Yet,

  394. I remember I put on a sore day faster. I needed a bigger

  395. house to live Amin because our family was prospering a sister. How I sought

  396. the Lord. I could not afford anything bigger, and of Jesse, I

  397. went on a four day faster. On that fourth day, somebody that did

  398. not know what I've been doing, said, hang down there, I can

  399. repull mobile home lot. The man that owns us said, he's not a

  400. mobile home. He needs to get rid up. I walked her prettiest time

  401. twenty four about fifty come and lie. You have a seat in your life

  402. for eighty five hundred dollars, say I want you to be over. They

  403. as steve like this came along the way. I said, well, I

  404. just got off a four day past. If you won't talk to me,

  405. nothing, say, you gotta pray about them. If you want come to

  406. moving your body, you gotta pray for it. If you need a holy

  407. ghostuff all you gotta do. A sect people have lied on God for years.

  408. They said things like this, I saw the Holy of goes for ten

  409. years. But once they really do get the Holy goes, they say,

  410. I need to stop lying. I only salt during them two or three weeks

  411. out of the year, dearing a scheduled revisal. They didn't see the Lord

  412. for ten years. Every day, every hour that day, every moment of

  413. that day. You're not even two or three times every day of that year

  414. for ten years. I really feel I preach it to you to I and

  415. I can tell the depth. We don't lock this because if you will get

  416. a handle on it. I've heard these wealthy men like Mark Zuckerberg, Mark

  417. Cuban, Elon Musk, Kevin o'mary, all of these men talk about they

  418. get up at three thirty and four o'clock in the morning and go to the

  419. gym to work out for an hour. Then they go home and shave and

  420. shower and take their kids to school, and they answer a few emails before

  421. they go to work, and then they go to work by six, and

  422. they go home about three point thirty, and then they get into bed by

  423. eight thirty and they repeat the same cycle. Oh, come on, and

  424. then we as Christians act like we've got to get up over the last five

  425. minutes before that alarm goes off. And then it does go off, and

  426. you hit the snooze button and you can't even touch your knees to the grammer.

  427. Why Mark Zuckerberg and Mark Cuban's don't press some iron. Oh come on

  428. now home, you will be here to look at me like talk to spirits

  429. and reject you like to you. You can rent. Come on now.

  430. It's a saying that he loves and not cuman. They's had a better workout

  431. routine setting up, he drops up, You can get up pass the last

  432. minute. You turn out that play. Get a handle on it. How

  433. old are your son? You're king? Well, sir, mister zickerrouse,

  434. sir, I'm sixteen, sir. You better see the Lord. Boy,

  435. you have inherited a mess. You have inherited a mess. Put as long

  436. as he saw the Lord, he had a handle on it. He prosted

  437. it. How can he get a handle on it? He meaning you's I

  438. must have being a quick learner. I say this because he served as keying

  439. for fifty years. What helped him get a handle on the situation? Our

  440. text offers some insight to us. He believed in seeking the Lord. He

  441. was convinced by example that seeking the Lord pays off. Have you not been

  442. convinced by example and even experience and seeking the Lord has been a pencer.

  443. Have you not testified? And there's been times you pushed that plate back and

  444. you pray more than you had the week's fire, and you said, I

  445. reap the bit of penza on of the Lord. Oh, yes, you,

  446. sire, you will be successful within you seat of the Lord. That's

  447. what the Lord told himself here around here in Bethel. Weeks after weedsa he

  448. said, seek me, seek my fa sir, get performing get in my

  449. pants. That say, not just not a house preacher, not only with

  450. sister Reed sating, get in my plan. How do you gonna handle all

  451. these situations alive, brother Villain, How you gonna handle it? You better

  452. get a handle on it. How you gonna handle the situations alive? Brother

  453. Jesse, You're gonna get a handle on. How you gonna handle all the

  454. situations alive? Brother Dylan, You gotta get a handle on it. God,

  455. need to read again the meaning of getting a hand on. Oh my

  456. speak, no, God, I love you, Lord, you're helping us

  457. revenue. Our brother read to us tonight from the Book of Second Kings of

  458. the sixth chapter. Between the verses number four and seven, they said,

  459. but as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water,

  460. and he cried and said, a last master, for it was Borrod.

  461. He had a conscience. You know, that's something lacking in the generation

  462. today. They are not conscientious. Oh come on, you order men,

  463. getting me right here in this regard. This generation is not conscientious. They

  464. can borrow something from somebody else tear it up and not fix it. It

  465. used to be that if a young man borrowed a piece of equipment because he

  466. could not afford a piece of equipment for himself, if he tore it up,

  467. he fixed it or replaced it before he returned it. I want until

  468. the young man of Bethel ho in his church. If you dare to borrow

  469. something from somebody, if you damage it, to fix it or replace it.

  470. It was a process for this conscientious You don't creature with in her life

  471. the answer that our calling has lost her it's hand. It ought to be

  472. a process. Would you come to church without the power? Who got a

  473. pair of timmonness up? But you deny the power? Whereof who taught you

  474. power to put the handle in the axe hand? We taught you how to

  475. put a handle left to the pole. We tauching, how to work,

  476. we've touching how to person load. But you can tell church to mack in

  477. the hand that we're actual hand and say that I donna. I said,

  478. I'm telling you you you gotta get a handle that's hardly tech. You gotta

  479. get a whole on a power a pie. That's what I CONSI said.

  480. This one thing like you that we turn a mound. I'm reaching the pole.

  481. If I'm not reaching back, Tux, you're gotta reach her after it.

  482. We're gonna pool car. We're gonna play, Paul. We're gotta persistent

  483. the pair until you chop up into the power that I set you a handle

  484. on it, got genies coches, You know why are you young people are

  485. flying off the handles, just the whooting and flying out the handle because they

  486. don't have the power flying off the handle by God and Devin, I feel

  487. the Holy News. Pass it around right there, get a hand on it.

  488. You ain't got a handle on right now, but he does here Momentarily

  489. he'll have a handle on it. Pass that around to every person in this

  490. building tonight. I'm telling you, I feel the power of God in this

  491. place. Do you not realize that is the devil that it is whispering hill

  492. roller bys and make you sleep through prayer? Do you not realize that is

  493. the devil that is putting that stir of slumber on you, that is keeping

  494. you from praying effectively and perfectly, because just the mere mother by prayer it's

  495. not effective. Put that heart passionate powery fervent prayer on the righteous man.

  496. I pray you let much he seeing a hand on my heart and all you

  497. don't cause my fad. But you better tell the Master. You better tell

  498. your preacher. You better tell the pastor. You better tell them. Nor

  499. I need the accent. I'll tell you he's a piece of a piment.

  500. His noteless when there has a handle. He's not a text. There was

  501. an accident, an unexpected accident. He was tucked down a tree, and

  502. there goes the accent down in the drink. The young preacher's reaction was a

  503. good one. The last master for his part of it. Y'all do realize

  504. the Holy ghost has been linked to the church, Brother Nathaniel. That young

  505. man lost control with the situation no longer could plow through the tree is effective.

  506. He lost control when he lost the acts hid and he knew, Man

  507. of God, I'll better get a handle on it. Do y'all realize what

  508. is being handed to you? Younger generation of preachers, younger prophets. Do

  509. you realize what we have built and what we're trying to hand to you.

  510. If you're not careful, the act's head will be setuated from the handful these

  511. special people are, and these special situations that He has entrusted to our care,

  512. creature Pastor. We must needs pray, we must needs fast, we

  513. must needs seek the Lord. Let's stand, I feel the Holy goost at

  514. this place, yousire, and the unprofit salt the Lord earnestly, the Bible

  515. said, But without faith it is impossible to please him. For he that

  516. come to God must believe that he is, and that He is a rewarder

  517. of them that delt seek him. Young man, when old win, When,

  518. oh when will you get attached to the power. As long as use

  519. our salt, the Lord God made to prosper, Not Zachariah, brother Nathaniel,

  520. brother Ethan, ever, sermon came in with a high note. As

  521. long as use our assault, the Lord God made him to prosper. However

  522. enforce it him. And sadly, there came a time in Uziah's life when

  523. he knows longer's thought the Lord properly. And in Second Chronicles, chapter number

  524. twenty six, Verses fifteen and sixteen, the Bible said, for he was

  525. marvelously helped by the Lord until he was strong and prospered greatly. A pair

  526. of phrase, but it goes on to say, but when he was strong,

  527. his heart was lifted up and proud unto destruction. When he felt like

  528. he could handle it himself is when he lost his grip on the situation.

  529. Get a handle of it. I remember twenty to thirty years ago people coming

  530. to church and saying I need a home. They knew within themselves to pray

  531. until God said I am going to give you at home. It didn't matter

  532. if it was a two to three month search or a two to three year

  533. search. They salt the Lord until they traded through, until he spoke.

  534. If they had a potential terminal illness, they salted Lord until he spoke concerning

  535. the matter. I want to tell the people of this church one more time,

  536. says the Teresa Wallace, will tell her story in the months ahead,

  537. simply, but we cannot trust all of you with a pretident and important details

  538. at this time, so as not to jeopardize what God is doing. But

  539. I do not know of a moon greater miracle in modern times than this one.

  540. Jehovah Jireh is a provider all because a little petitued sister said, God

  541. said, through our pastor seekh. God told me where to seek him.

  542. At God told me what to do. Sister Teresa said, the mosquitos had

  543. come, the mosquitos would go, and she would tell Brother e j.

  544. I just have to be obedient, Brother Nathan. It was a year ago,

  545. I believe, when you gave the message in tones of interpretation, and

  546. it went about this acknowledged my servant acknowledged the shepherd. Do some of you

  547. you have not acknowledged what God has said. God went on to say,

  548. and you shall prevail Issiah fifty years as king. You prospered for what happened.

  549. You stop praying, You stop seeking the Lord. Young man, you

  550. need a home for a bride, you than you pray. Young woman,

  551. you need a husband, you faster than you pray. You need a healing

  552. for your body. You don't panic, You don't toss and turn on your

  553. bed at not. But you definitely don't do nothing either. You pray.

  554. It's good to have peace, and it's good to trust the Lord. But

  555. we must pray. Let's bow our heads here tonight. When are you going

  556. to learn that you must seek him? When are you going to get a

  557. handle on the situation. Is there somebody that would come forward right now and

  558. you in prayer. You're waiting on another day. You're waiting on another moment,

  559. another time, another another season. Now it's the appointed time. Today

  560. is the day of silence. H I feel a whole goes in this place.

  561. Jesus went into the garden alone to trade alone, to turn sir.

  562. I told you you will go alone, not with your family. You will

  563. go alone. Get a handle on it. Why you can't otherwise it's going

  564. to get a hold of you Sickly. He's asked multiple times, seek me

  565. seek Lord. I desire to not to be before you. I desire to

  566. not to stand in your presence, to seek your faces, to seek to

  567. be before you. I need a healing from my body. I need strength

  568. or the frailties of life. I need help that can only come from you.

  569. I need salvation for my torment and soul. I need deliverance from my

  570. habits and addictions. Someone by praid. I need the Holy Ghost to give

  571. me power. I'm gonna say it again. A successful businessman can have an

  572. early morning routine where they work out. We can have a daily prayer life

  573. day that Bobby reinhabited. Preacher, I was just cutting a tree. Now

  574. where the axe said, you know, we needed a place to live in,

  575. a bigger place for all these young profits, these young preachers. The

  576. place that we've been living in is too small. We need to expand.

  577. While I was cut the tree, act said, came off and flew into

  578. the Georgian River. Master. What bothers me is it was borrowat. I

  579. realized I'm missing something, the conscientiousness of it. Preacher, I lost control

  580. of this situation. I wasn't expecting this, but I need to get a

  581. handle on this s situation. Preacher, Seek the Lord, as this young

  582. man sought the prophet. A last Master, My last Lord filled me where

  583. the holy goes. The last Master healed my body, a last Master.

  584. Very sober tonight, a little more sobering than it was this morning, out

  585. of the love seeking him. It's so rewarding, it's so fulfilling to seek

  586. him, to realize he has ushered me into his presence, and I have

  587. an audience with a king praising. Why do people discontinue seeking the Lord after

  588. he helps them? Why did Yousiah discontinue seeking the Lord after he had been

  589. helped so marvelously? Why have you ceased seeking the Lord, I'm talking to

  590. some people in this building tonight. I can feel the burden a song the

  591. way the PA system malfunction hasn't done that in years. Perhaps it's just the

  592. malfunctioning of the equipment. Perhaps it's a coincidence. Or perhaps the enemy knows

  593. we're benefiting when we seek the Lord, and he didn't want you to hear

  594. this message. I don't know. Maybe it's just barely equipment malfunction. Maybe

  595. no, but seeking below, but seeking the hold a part him while he's

  596. neared. Get ahold of him, and don't let go get a crippled Jesus.

  597. And don't I called agreed bar holding an. I'm food and fast to
