Holy Ghost titled get a handle on It, Get a handle on it.
-
If you will turn with me to the Book of Second Chronicles, May I
-
direct your attention to the twenty sixth chapter and the fifth verse. We're not
-
gonna run you through like a bunch of cattle tonight. We're gonna try to
-
obey the Lord and pour into you as the Lord has poured into us,
-
and try to preach to you the burden of our heart again a sermon the
-
Holy Ghost title, get a handle own It. Brother Nathaniel, Second Kings,
-
chapter number six, verses number four through seven, Brother Jesse, Hebrews,
-
chapter number eleven, and verse number six. If you're saved and you
-
know it, say Amen. Sounds to me like everybody in this building it's
-
saved. But it also sounds like you're shouted out. I'm telling you,
-
we have praised the Lord and shouted the high praises of our God for nearly
-
one and a half hours. But I feel like it's the will of God
-
tonight that we preach. I don't always feel like that. Preaching behind a
-
movement God is not something I always do, but I do feel like who
-
is in this building tonight needs to hear what the Spirit says unto this church
-
tonight, Brother Nathaniel second Kings, chapter number six, verses number four through
-
seven. So he went with them. When they came to Jordan, they
-
cut wood, but as one was felling of being, the axe had fell
-
into the water. And he cried and said, a last master, for
-
it was barroom. And the Man of God said where fell it? And
-
he shoot in the place, and he cut down, sticking it and cast
-
it in thither, and the iron did swim. Therefore said he'd take it
-
up to thee. And he put out his hand and took it. Praise
-
the Lord. How many of you are familiar with those verses of scripture?
-
You've read that story before, Brother Jesse Hebrews, chapter number eleven and verse
-
number six. Without faith, it is impossible to please him. Or he
-
that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a
-
rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Okay, he is a rewarder of
-
them that diligently seek him. Well you say that with me, he is
-
a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Did not Brother Nathan to read
-
to us in the sixth chapter of the Book of Second Kings, that this
-
young prophet cried out to the elder prophet Master a last, for it was
-
ball road. He was seeking assistance and help from an elder preacher, also
-
seeking assistance and help from the Lord. God is a rewarder of them that
-
diligently seek him. Let's stand for the reading of our texts tonight, Second
-
Chronicles, chapter number twenty six and verse number five. And the Bible said,
-
and he sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in
-
the visions of God. And as long as he salt, the Lord God
-
made him to prosper. Read the latter part of that verse with me after
-
the colder. And as long as he salt, the Lord God made him
-
to prosper. Heaven of you know, it is very important that all of
-
the children of God seek him while he may be found. Let's pray,
-
Heavenly Father, we love and we praise you. We thank you for the
-
opportunity to be in this house. That is a house that is named after
-
you, God, a place that has been consecrated unto you, a house
-
of worship that has been dedicated where the saints of God come into this place
-
and worship you in the beauty of holiness and sanctification, coming out from that
-
world and being separated unto you. This Sunday God, in October twenty twenty
-
three, we pray that you would annoy this thy servants and a god in
-
my mouth, and help me to say the things that you would happen to
-
say nothing more than less, and anoint the years of this thy people,
-
that they might hear what the spirits saith to the churches. We pray God,
-
let these saiths go below the shoulders that I'm getting that Herd. I
-
pray God, help us to not be hearers only, but to heed the
-
truth of your word. And maybe we depart this place and jot live and
-
not sorrowly. In Jesus' name. Amen, look at your neighbor and saying,
-
hey, neighbor, get a handle on it, okay. Our text
-
is found in an Old Testament book of the Holy Bible, the Book of
-
Second Chronicles. If there is a Second Chronicles, then there must be a
-
First Chronicles. If there's a first and second Chronicles, this means that there
-
must have been a chronicler, someone that is the author of these two books
-
of the Bible. Somebody that is giving us an accurate written record of the
-
national history of the nation of Israel and the nation of Judah. Someone who
-
put penned the parchment and left this written record behind for the generations that would
-
follow him. The author of this book of the Bible had a good handle
-
on the things of God. We also know that the author of this book
-
of the Bible had a good handle on the story of David, or the
-
life story of the sweet Songist of Israel. In fact, the author of
-
this writing this book of the Bible, he follows the life of David,
-
he follows the life of Sulivan, and he also follows the life of the
-
descendants of both of these great men of God. David and his son Solomon
-
were undoubted airport yet greatly beloved kings over the nation of Israel when it was
-
in its glorious state as a unified nation or a unified people. At the
-
time that they governed over the nation of Israel along with the Nation of Judah,
-
they were no doubt how they anointed of God have been cause of this
-
great favor that they had with the Lord, and this anointing that they both
-
possessed God unified the nation. Isn't it a blessing to serve under God fear
-
and leadership that God has favored. We find over that there came a time
-
in the descendant's life of David his descendants they found their self living in a
-
separated or a divided nation. We find that it is no longer unified,
-
but it is divided. Unfortunately, the chronicler or the author has to let
-
us know that things have deteriorated for the worst. So things have deteriorated for
-
the descendants of David. Regarding the leadership, things have deteriorated. They have
-
not improved. And find the situation regarding Israel has not improved at all.
-
At some point, at some point, the fine themselves losing their grip on
-
their unified nation, and it quickly begins the spiral downward because no one seems
-
to be able to get a handle on the situation. The tragic result is
-
the kingdom has been split in twain and David's descendants were enough to govern the
-
nation of Tunah only. How many of you old timers in this building are
-
familiar with the statement, Hey, you need to get a handle on it.
-
There's very few of you in this building that has been alive long enough
-
to know that. That is an expression that elder people use sometimes when they're
-
trying to tell somebody you need to begin to understand and to come to a
-
knowledge that you need to be able to deal with something. I want to
-
tell you here to die, I'm preaching to you about getting a handle own
-
that situation. In other words, we need you to come to a place
-
where you can gain control over a really difficult This situation is a difficult I
-
want you to get where you can gain control over these really difficult situations you're
-
alive, like a lack of desire to play, lack of disinterest, scree
-
in God. It must be a difficulture situation because it seems to be out
-
of your control. It does not matter how many servants the preacher preachers.
-
It doesn't matter how hard the pastor calls, how many scheduled the revivals,
-
US spontaneous revivals we have. It seems like you cannot get a handle or
-
a situation that I need a prayer life. I need to be able to
-
praiser the Lord with complete uninity of I'm going to be victorious if we look
-
at our gold and text again Second Chronicles twenty six, and found the Bible
-
speaking of you, Siah said, And he sought God in the day's of
-
Secondariah, who had understandings and the peasons of God. And as long as
-
something the toad made him that prosper. There is no doubt that sucker Riah
-
and got a handle on his prayer life. There is no doubt that's Sucker
-
Riah practice self discipline and had mustered himself and theoded and parted irons, just
-
seeking God. A man that's not stumbling across the prayer life, a man
-
that's not stumbling across the Lord. We must seek him. Rot he made
-
that he found. Now, if you're gonna quiet him, it won't be
-
absolutely, it will be delivering me that intentionally. You've got to seek him.
-
I feel them devils that you've been fighting. I feel them, and
-
not the devil gonna let you the land to seek, Todd. I'm telling
-
you the only way of all love, wretcha, is to teach yourself to
-
seek the Lord. I've seen preachers before get envious, becoming envious and get
-
jealous because of a preacher preaching with anointing. They say how does he preach
-
like that. He must have a big library, He must have access to
-
materials with these kind of sermons in it no city one. That is not
-
the answer. The answer is we get this divine inspiration while talking to the
-
Lord on our knees. We got the right pattern, We've got the right
-
posture. We know how to seek the Lord. Seeking the Lord does not
-
consist of going to dairy clean and awing a blizzard and going Maryland, parking
-
Bible river and praying between bites. Seeking the Lord is leaning your heart and
-
earnest and seeking the Lord to find his grace and his paper. You can
-
knot get around there, sir. If you won't to prospect, you must
-
seek him. That they buy the said that this man and second royals in
-
office as priests and prophet me silent sought the Lord properly. Well, what
-
happens when our pastor dies unexpectedly? What happens when God sends our pastor elsewhere
-
unexpectedly? We better get a handle and this situation, if you've got a
-
terminal illness, you're gonna get it the handle there this situation, I appreciate
-
what gonna say you preach to us, a less Sunday night about Kiso guaranteed
-
that I had not been anxious or nervous at all about anything. Are the
-
things that devil has thrown our way, Nor have I lost sleep. But
-
I will tell you this. For anybody that's ever been healed, for anybody
-
that's ever been filled, they've had the secret from Lord for that healing their
-
classter. Whether I am telling me for the holy GIRs, I'd just not
-
gonna get it without seeking after it. I since alast loxy basical attitude because
-
of laziness. I'm not here to not to be your friend. I'm here
-
to not to be your pastor. And the Bible said that he sought God
-
as long as he had sick or right. As long as we've got the
-
pastor. There's longness. We've got a few elders, there's long us.
-
Somebody saying that you're pay there's long How somebody comes to church, they may
-
mistaish, they may say that you think the suit garden. I saw he
-
in there. They're standing up towards the front. In recent services. He
-
didn't drift back. It was olding a few services ago. I saw him
-
so close to me. Feel we at hearing gus to lock happened. They
-
love happened. Look, we can't just see that little You can't just seecret.
-
We did feel life of it. We've got the secret to brother Zacarria.
-
There's the lahadd I got a burden to pinch you. N I don't
-
think just talking to you in a monotone voice, we'll get the photographs.
-
I don't even know that I'm talking to a sensible individual anymore. I don't
-
even know that I'm talking to an intelligent individual anymore. For when God holdbody
-
speaks and he says, no, I am not pleased with you. You
-
have not sought me enough. You have not sought me as one that would
-
pursue after the prey. You have not diligent me and earnestly prayed for your
-
brother there, your sister, or your husband, or you're a wild You
-
don't what through side of this longness that the riot is around as long as
-
he's getting annoing a and proper side. I'm preaching that you feel the need
-
to pray, You feel the need to tide the nation of his rec through
-
and tears and through tear stained and notes that I'm telling you what are you
-
doing there when nobody else says, arived, what are you doing? Are
-
you praying or are you praying that? I said, what in the world
-
are you doing? Are he's sneaking or he's seeking? I'm saying the knights,
-
God let me there. You've anty packed up and you're hiding them.
-
The stoper you take back on in the stopper, I say you take back.
-
Then they say that not selling good, say that problems. They say
-
that that's a You've got to be moving forward. You gotta get a hand
-
out of the situation. This situation is out of your control. It's obvious.
-
There's not an avanceless that can turn you. There's not a sermon of
-
the pastor creatures that can help you. Do you realize how dangious city is
-
for a soul to be in a place where they are past feeling. Past
-
feeling means being past. Help here over the jesse that used to be in
-
yesteryear, the times of yesterday, we could say to the congregation pray.
-
They did not need to be an explanation as to why we must pray.
-
We knew without a doubta there was something pending. There was something just up
-
the road. That was gonna take place, and it was appointed because of
-
the Holy Gusta set the church to watch him and set the church to pray
-
and seeking the face of God. Listen, just because her we put the
-
presence of cod in the building a Sunday morning, a Sunday. No,
-
that's not me. The presidence of come walked out that dare with you.
-
Moses prayer with enrollment said unless you go with me, ah, we are
-
not gold. We need to know why the Holy moss seek my face.
-
Come on now, we need to know why the Holy God said. See
-
now. What's troubling and disturbing is the thinking that somebody crossed their fingers and
-
their tooth and was thinking, maybe that has passed. Maybe God has forgot
-
about it, maybe the Holy Ghost has forgotten about it. No, I
-
have not forgot the gravity of the Almighty God of Heaven. In hers speaking
-
to us and saying, you need to desire me. I desire to seek
-
the Lord because I desire to be in his presence. The Summer said,
-
when he said up to me, seek my face, I said it to
-
him, the Lord thy face will seek it on paarapraise it. Come on
-
now to be in his presence is to be before him. I know the
-
two or three hogether together in his name today, and we have been here
-
in this prais. But we need to be in his prayers when we're driving
-
on the highway. We need to be in his favor, when we're on
-
the chop And that pleasing is parting with you to me in his case and
-
in his favor, not on the job. When you ben come to be
-
in harm's way. You need to be before him. I said, you
-
clearly need to be in his presence. So one O five, verse number
-
four goes like this, seek the Lord and his strength. Seek his face,
-
every boy, this homist said, seek his face ever boy. That
-
means that there not be a time or a moment in your life when you
-
can say I have ceased from seeking the Lord. In Sun chapter number thirty
-
four, verse number ten, the Bible spoke concerning the young lions of the
-
body, lions that they lacked and suffered hunger. But the Bible said,
-
though those young lions may be lacking and suffered you to hunger pains that the
-
righteous of the Lord shall not want any good thing. The righteous of the
-
Lord shall not want any good thing but before that it goes like this.
-
But they that seek the Lord alone shall not want. And he did say,
-
young man, you can ask God for their beginning and you will not
-
receive it. But you can ask God for a source of transportation that will
-
take you to work there. It may or may not have air conditioning,
-
and God We'll provided the sun has said. Things that seek God shall not
-
want any to say. Come on in deep content, sir, when you
-
pray for it? Can you ask God for it? Can you seek copp
-
Yes, you conceit. For a wife, the God said, they that
-
pinds of wife, meaning a man that poinds of wife, find it a
-
cintainment the obtain a paper from the Lord. A man cannot ask God for
-
a companion get a man, but you can't seek God it with counsel prepanion.
-
Where the opposite sick say my God, or what another fuck? It?
-
We not to put upon the things say that we can seek God for
-
we can seek him. Contain said, are you willing to do it?
-
You can seeking for salvation, you can seeking for sanctification. You can see
-
him for the end dwelling of the Holy ghost. But you can't seek him
-
to get ahead of your brother. You can't seek him for your coveteous desires.
-
You can't seek him for something that don't belong to you. You can't
-
seek him. Oh come on, now, I'm talking to somebody right here.
-
You see this son of Amaziah realizes I am a young man. How
-
old was Eysiah when he became king? The Bible teaches us the chronicler.
-
He chronicler said he was sixteen years of age when he began to govern the
-
nation of Judah. Yes, he's perceived a remnant of what his daddy and
-
his granddaddy had her sister. Howell, he knew I better seek the Lord.
-
At sixteen years of age. He becomes a reformer of search, and
-
he does wonderful things. Why because I writer is walking by. Wow.
-
That because there's Aphi piece and say coming down to set me in that.
-
Wow? That is he seeking the know. No thing can be said that
-
about you, Siah, that I cannot say about you, that he was
-
wearing to seek God. That when others say they're seeking the old man,
-
you're not too young man. Young keep talk, you're not too young man.
-
You never get a hand in on the say I'm telling you that you
-
gotter get control about this situation and learn what it is like to go into
-
the garden or the cemetery and pray that affectional per prayer you matter get had
-
on it. Elijah was a man subject to locked passions as we are,
-
but he prayed, well, when you pray, what do you pray to
-
a lifeless god? A little gee, what who do you pray to?
-
You to the living God? Right? And you don't ask amiss that you
-
might consume things upon your own lust. But I'm telling you there's people just
-
a wounding in this fielding. They feel like, after my departure and after
-
your departure, that they're gonna come to this revelation that they must get a
-
handle on it. I want you to know if you lose this power that
-
God has given you and you refuse to put a handle on it and get
-
a taxed to them, now, there is no way you're going to get
-
a handle put tua the ass head and get attached to the power of God.
-
When your grandma's dead, when your pastor's dead, when something rise,
-
don't know your prezza, what God tell you, the preacher? You think,
-
what these people we're gonna miss the ratser and Sadden. You're gonna have
-
a desire to seek God. I'm not reading the book that I saw it
-
a Christian books up had a surproblem. Keep getting told I'm not planning that.
-
Listen to Rasswer. I gotta see God. No, I'm not playing
-
on sinking the Lord. And after the church is gone, I don't even
-
know if it's possible to be honest with him. If you can't ride right
-
now in the days of the footman, how are you gonna do in the
-
times of the horsemen. I feel the anoughting to God to preach to youth
-
tonight. You better get a hand alon it. I said, you better
-
get a handle on it. Right after I come down here, just after
-
I turned thirty I think I was thirty one, and I had hearn for
-
this people that were three or four of us here, and it just seemed
-
like it was slow going, getting people motivated, trying to see church glove
-
to preaching a saint dead as we do now, singing a saint then as
-
we do now, having great booze of God. And I came to church
-
one night and I preached a message, don't throw your hammer down. What
-
had happened that afternoon while I was napping, I had a dream or a
-
vision of a claw hammer who have been flying through the ear that is splashing
-
a pool of sand, and I saw it splash him and little Jessea,
-
God got the deal them with me that even a monk, just a hand
-
pull that we were newly working with you. There are people that had been
-
in this a long time and they had threwn the hammer down. They didn't
-
see the user, and having prayer meeting they didn't see the user. They're
-
having a revival, they didn't see the user. Then having an annoyed preaching
-
they didn't see the user, and having an annoyed service say oh, I
-
want just let the doctor treat it, and say well, I have a
-
little sermon their care or out a little Sunday school. Listen when the teacher
-
just reaching out of a book that they were doing Russa throwing the hammer down
-
attached to that handle was all a head of a hammer. But tonight,
-
I'm not talking about the good hammer in his self right, I'm talking about
-
the handle. You gotta get to the hold of this. You better realize
-
it. Its holiness for hell who want to realize it the Mother's right and
-
the world is wrong, that you gotta get a grew up of honest handle.
-
They do understand. Who can only take the tale on this life right
-
with the word of the Lord. That's the only way we can be successful.
-
It's getting a burden to seek God, a burden to seek the Lord.
-
It was a Saturday afternoon the Lord spoke to me concerning becoming a prayer
-
addict. I've always had a decent prayer life at times that I've always had
-
a good life, a good, good, good prayer life. I mean,
-
Brother Gabriel, but was just praying. I said, God, let
-
me become one of them prayer warriors of yesteryear, like praying Hide who prayed
-
until his knees became swollen. Luck of Campbell's knees is disfigured. Rel Jesse
-
from the incessant kneeling down that big beast of burden and kneel down and it'll
-
stand up and owns knees have overcompensated because of the bending action with under the
-
burden. And that is hell. It should be with us as pilgrims walking
-
through this traine land. We ought to be praying and asking the Lord to
-
help us with guidance. We need navigation. I'm telling you, without seeking
-
the Lord and asking for the old passer, you can end up on the
-
wrong way that leads to destructure. Before you know it, that mirror road.
-
We'll have a detailed road and you'll find yourself on the broadway that leads
-
her to destructure. I'm preaching to you, that's what jeremiha he said,
-
ask you for the old passare is the good way that some of you looking
-
for another way? I want you to know your own pastor has a prayer
-
of my opponent, the only passor by the study on it with all the
-
reading plans. And he took me picked up the word, I don't have
-
a problem probaly seeking God. I don't have a problem kidnap and none see
-
that success. I preached recently Zechariah the same Zachary, I believe the same.
-
Charai told the rubble boy. He said, he said these words.
-
He says not by Mike, nor by spirit, nor by Mike, but
-
by my spirit saith the Lord of Host. Huh, Well, you beout.
-
You've gotta be seeking the Lord if you're gonna have his spirit. You
-
gotta be seeking the Lord if you're gonna have his favor. A church that
-
is blessed has His spirit in it. The Holy Ghost is actively participating and
-
moving in it. If a church is gonna prosper and bring forth fruit,
-
and that fruit is gonna remain, and the fruit is gonna multiply upon that
-
tree, if they're gonna prosper, they've gotta seek the Lord to prosper.
-
Come on, now, the Bible readers and the Bible students in this book
-
know a little bit more about Usiah than probably the average person in this field
-
of knows. But even though he ascended to the role at the early age
-
of sixteen, this man governed over the nation of Tudor for fifty something years.
-
Sister, we just long enough to get weary in the way of doing
-
Now, Church, can you imagine this young man having to rule a nason,
-
not only a nation, but a nason a church people God's peep boy,
-
who are frushing and fighting with their neighbors, their brothers and sisters who
-
claimed to be God's people. Also imagine a sixteen year old how to do
-
that. The neighboring nation is the nation of Israel. What's he gonna do.
-
He heard how good David had it, he heard how good Solomon had
-
it. He got to get ahold of had a situation. Get a hand
-
there, head hold it. I don't tell you that is exactly what Elisha
-
did when he saw the matel and Elijah come falling down out of that chariot.
-
He got a hold of it. They said, do you not there
-
that your master's gonna be taken away today? Do you not go over?
-
Things not gonna be like they wanted? But Elisha got to he of it.
-
I'm tell him the hold is church. We need everybody that in the
-
field. You haven't caring you are We're not get a hold of it this
-
time. Go not pump, but by prayer and pasting. That's how churches
-
grow. If you see a church in this generation that's not growing, it's
-
not because of the lives of Hastor said, this is a difficult area.
-
Where in the world is it not difficult to Pastor tell me and I'll go
-
it. It's not because God is not still saving. It's not because it's
-
got built to the remnant the chosen few. Somebody has got to get a
-
hold of the handle. Somebody's got to get a handle on this thing and
-
realize God is still in business. God was still in business up until Noah
-
pitched the last board. God is gonna still be in business in the soul
-
saving business until then the preacher has preached his last servant. I call it
-
to the lot. There's gonna be people knelt there the sight of any patching
-
altar and repent and praying and asking God to save the saying when the trumpet
-
sounds her, Hey, come on now, I'm talking about swipple preachers that
-
will say the reason why are church is not calling, it's because of this
-
is the world's gonna be in the end. They till no that I'm talking.
-
It's not sing. That's here boxing and you are gonna have a a
-
that and realize God is the same res today to pay it toever you'll head
-
alone, fuddy until he says, until he says, somebody's gonna handle on
-
it. All we need to do is fire some pastors. We need to
-
fire some impostors Jesus, some impostor Christ and some impostor pastors, and we
-
need to get into soul saving business. We need to fire them. Preachers
-
are not only are they trying to make aid. They're making one one hour
-
in the week that cancels Sunday in our service and midweek service. They're not
-
seeking the Lord. That's why they're not prospering. They say, you size
-
salt the aad, look at our gun texts, and when he's salt in
-
the lad he prospered. There's somebody in this building. I said about three
-
or four weeks ago. I said, when you get to the place you
-
lay your face and the ground of fire forest, and you pray, and
-
you passed until you throw up over stumps, and I speak from expirits,
-
and you rend your heart, and you have a broken and a meeting a
-
contract spirit before God. Have you ask God Jehovah Chabah to supply your needs.
-
It doesn't matter if it's property, it doesn't matter. If it's a
-
house, it doesn't matter. If it's companionship, it doesn't matter. If
-
it's help me get rid of the bad attitude. You pray until you pray
-
in it true? Do you know? I will not tell what happened,
-
but something is miraculous. Has anything you have ever heard in your life took
-
place? Because they simply listen to their pastor Teresa Wallace, is it true?
-
She said, I know that God is with my pastor. I know
-
that I'm not gonna get a prayer through until I openy God and through an
-
exactly God's way. It doesn't out of His name and God. What teresay
-
Lolla say when God said seek me parent that you've got seeking pay t if
-
you much she have bulls? Do you have the details of this modern miracle
-
of how God can make a way? Will there seeming to be no way?
-
Young man, you need a home for a bride, as Teresa Wallas,
-
you fast and you pray about it. Young man, you need a
-
set of wheels and the chiefs pickup truck. You can find a line of
-
thirty five hundred dollars, so I stealing a wood about it. You can
-
faster and prayer, seek the Lord and you get a better deal. Yet,
-
I remember I put on a sore day faster. I needed a bigger
-
house to live Amin because our family was prospering a sister. How I sought
-
the Lord. I could not afford anything bigger, and of Jesse, I
-
went on a four day faster. On that fourth day, somebody that did
-
not know what I've been doing, said, hang down there, I can
-
repull mobile home lot. The man that owns us said, he's not a
-
mobile home. He needs to get rid up. I walked her prettiest time
-
twenty four about fifty come and lie. You have a seat in your life
-
for eighty five hundred dollars, say I want you to be over. They
-
as steve like this came along the way. I said, well, I
-
just got off a four day past. If you won't talk to me,
-
nothing, say, you gotta pray about them. If you want come to
-
moving your body, you gotta pray for it. If you need a holy
-
ghostuff all you gotta do. A sect people have lied on God for years.
-
They said things like this, I saw the Holy of goes for ten
-
years. But once they really do get the Holy goes, they say,
-
I need to stop lying. I only salt during them two or three weeks
-
out of the year, dearing a scheduled revisal. They didn't see the Lord
-
for ten years. Every day, every hour that day, every moment of
-
that day. You're not even two or three times every day of that year
-
for ten years. I really feel I preach it to you to I and
-
I can tell the depth. We don't lock this because if you will get
-
a handle on it. I've heard these wealthy men like Mark Zuckerberg, Mark
-
Cuban, Elon Musk, Kevin o'mary, all of these men talk about they
-
get up at three thirty and four o'clock in the morning and go to the
-
gym to work out for an hour. Then they go home and shave and
-
shower and take their kids to school, and they answer a few emails before
-
they go to work, and then they go to work by six, and
-
they go home about three point thirty, and then they get into bed by
-
eight thirty and they repeat the same cycle. Oh, come on, and
-
then we as Christians act like we've got to get up over the last five
-
minutes before that alarm goes off. And then it does go off, and
-
you hit the snooze button and you can't even touch your knees to the grammer.
-
Why Mark Zuckerberg and Mark Cuban's don't press some iron. Oh come on
-
now home, you will be here to look at me like talk to spirits
-
and reject you like to you. You can rent. Come on now.
-
It's a saying that he loves and not cuman. They's had a better workout
-
routine setting up, he drops up, You can get up pass the last
-
minute. You turn out that play. Get a handle on it. How
-
old are your son? You're king? Well, sir, mister zickerrouse,
-
sir, I'm sixteen, sir. You better see the Lord. Boy,
-
you have inherited a mess. You have inherited a mess. Put as long
-
as he saw the Lord, he had a handle on it. He prosted
-
it. How can he get a handle on it? He meaning you's I
-
must have being a quick learner. I say this because he served as keying
-
for fifty years. What helped him get a handle on the situation? Our
-
text offers some insight to us. He believed in seeking the Lord. He
-
was convinced by example that seeking the Lord pays off. Have you not been
-
convinced by example and even experience and seeking the Lord has been a pencer.
-
Have you not testified? And there's been times you pushed that plate back and
-
you pray more than you had the week's fire, and you said, I
-
reap the bit of penza on of the Lord. Oh, yes, you,
-
sire, you will be successful within you seat of the Lord. That's
-
what the Lord told himself here around here in Bethel. Weeks after weedsa he
-
said, seek me, seek my fa sir, get performing get in my
-
pants. That say, not just not a house preacher, not only with
-
sister Reed sating, get in my plan. How do you gonna handle all
-
these situations alive, brother Villain, How you gonna handle it? You better
-
get a handle on it. How you gonna handle the situations alive? Brother
-
Jesse, You're gonna get a handle on. How you gonna handle all the
-
situations alive? Brother Dylan, You gotta get a handle on it. God,
-
need to read again the meaning of getting a hand on. Oh my
-
speak, no, God, I love you, Lord, you're helping us
-
revenue. Our brother read to us tonight from the Book of Second Kings of
-
the sixth chapter. Between the verses number four and seven, they said,
-
but as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water,
-
and he cried and said, a last master, for it was Borrod.
-
He had a conscience. You know, that's something lacking in the generation
-
today. They are not conscientious. Oh come on, you order men,
-
getting me right here in this regard. This generation is not conscientious. They
-
can borrow something from somebody else tear it up and not fix it. It
-
used to be that if a young man borrowed a piece of equipment because he
-
could not afford a piece of equipment for himself, if he tore it up,
-
he fixed it or replaced it before he returned it. I want until
-
the young man of Bethel ho in his church. If you dare to borrow
-
something from somebody, if you damage it, to fix it or replace it.
-
It was a process for this conscientious You don't creature with in her life
-
the answer that our calling has lost her it's hand. It ought to be
-
a process. Would you come to church without the power? Who got a
-
pair of timmonness up? But you deny the power? Whereof who taught you
-
power to put the handle in the axe hand? We taught you how to
-
put a handle left to the pole. We tauching, how to work,
-
we've touching how to person load. But you can tell church to mack in
-
the hand that we're actual hand and say that I donna. I said,
-
I'm telling you you you gotta get a handle that's hardly tech. You gotta
-
get a whole on a power a pie. That's what I CONSI said.
-
This one thing like you that we turn a mound. I'm reaching the pole.
-
If I'm not reaching back, Tux, you're gotta reach her after it.
-
We're gonna pool car. We're gonna play, Paul. We're gotta persistent
-
the pair until you chop up into the power that I set you a handle
-
on it, got genies coches, You know why are you young people are
-
flying off the handles, just the whooting and flying out the handle because they
-
don't have the power flying off the handle by God and Devin, I feel
-
the Holy News. Pass it around right there, get a hand on it.
-
You ain't got a handle on right now, but he does here Momentarily
-
he'll have a handle on it. Pass that around to every person in this
-
building tonight. I'm telling you, I feel the power of God in this
-
place. Do you not realize that is the devil that it is whispering hill
-
roller bys and make you sleep through prayer? Do you not realize that is
-
the devil that is putting that stir of slumber on you, that is keeping
-
you from praying effectively and perfectly, because just the mere mother by prayer it's
-
not effective. Put that heart passionate powery fervent prayer on the righteous man.
-
I pray you let much he seeing a hand on my heart and all you
-
don't cause my fad. But you better tell the Master. You better tell
-
your preacher. You better tell the pastor. You better tell them. Nor
-
I need the accent. I'll tell you he's a piece of a piment.
-
His noteless when there has a handle. He's not a text. There was
-
an accident, an unexpected accident. He was tucked down a tree, and
-
there goes the accent down in the drink. The young preacher's reaction was a
-
good one. The last master for his part of it. Y'all do realize
-
the Holy ghost has been linked to the church, Brother Nathaniel. That young
-
man lost control with the situation no longer could plow through the tree is effective.
-
He lost control when he lost the acts hid and he knew, Man
-
of God, I'll better get a handle on it. Do y'all realize what
-
is being handed to you? Younger generation of preachers, younger prophets. Do
-
you realize what we have built and what we're trying to hand to you.
-
If you're not careful, the act's head will be setuated from the handful these
-
special people are, and these special situations that He has entrusted to our care,
-
creature Pastor. We must needs pray, we must needs fast, we
-
must needs seek the Lord. Let's stand, I feel the Holy goost at
-
this place, yousire, and the unprofit salt the Lord earnestly, the Bible
-
said, But without faith it is impossible to please him. For he that
-
come to God must believe that he is, and that He is a rewarder
-
of them that delt seek him. Young man, when old win, When,
-
oh when will you get attached to the power. As long as use
-
our salt, the Lord God made to prosper, Not Zachariah, brother Nathaniel,
-
brother Ethan, ever, sermon came in with a high note. As
-
long as use our assault, the Lord God made him to prosper. However
-
enforce it him. And sadly, there came a time in Uziah's life when
-
he knows longer's thought the Lord properly. And in Second Chronicles, chapter number
-
twenty six, Verses fifteen and sixteen, the Bible said, for he was
-
marvelously helped by the Lord until he was strong and prospered greatly. A pair
-
of phrase, but it goes on to say, but when he was strong,
-
his heart was lifted up and proud unto destruction. When he felt like
-
he could handle it himself is when he lost his grip on the situation.
-
Get a handle of it. I remember twenty to thirty years ago people coming
-
to church and saying I need a home. They knew within themselves to pray
-
until God said I am going to give you at home. It didn't matter
-
if it was a two to three month search or a two to three year
-
search. They salt the Lord until they traded through, until he spoke.
-
If they had a potential terminal illness, they salted Lord until he spoke concerning
-
the matter. I want to tell the people of this church one more time,
-
says the Teresa Wallace, will tell her story in the months ahead,
-
simply, but we cannot trust all of you with a pretident and important details
-
at this time, so as not to jeopardize what God is doing. But
-
I do not know of a moon greater miracle in modern times than this one.
-
Jehovah Jireh is a provider all because a little petitued sister said, God
-
said, through our pastor seekh. God told me where to seek him.
-
At God told me what to do. Sister Teresa said, the mosquitos had
-
come, the mosquitos would go, and she would tell Brother e j.
-
I just have to be obedient, Brother Nathan. It was a year ago,
-
I believe, when you gave the message in tones of interpretation, and
-
it went about this acknowledged my servant acknowledged the shepherd. Do some of you
-
you have not acknowledged what God has said. God went on to say,
-
and you shall prevail Issiah fifty years as king. You prospered for what happened.
-
You stop praying, You stop seeking the Lord. Young man, you
-
need a home for a bride, you than you pray. Young woman,
-
you need a husband, you faster than you pray. You need a healing
-
for your body. You don't panic, You don't toss and turn on your
-
bed at not. But you definitely don't do nothing either. You pray.
-
It's good to have peace, and it's good to trust the Lord. But
-
we must pray. Let's bow our heads here tonight. When are you going
-
to learn that you must seek him? When are you going to get a
-
handle on the situation. Is there somebody that would come forward right now and
-
you in prayer. You're waiting on another day. You're waiting on another moment,
-
another time, another another season. Now it's the appointed time. Today
-
is the day of silence. H I feel a whole goes in this place.
-
Jesus went into the garden alone to trade alone, to turn sir.
-
I told you you will go alone, not with your family. You will
-
go alone. Get a handle on it. Why you can't otherwise it's going
-
to get a hold of you Sickly. He's asked multiple times, seek me
-
seek Lord. I desire to not to be before you. I desire to
-
not to stand in your presence, to seek your faces, to seek to
-
be before you. I need a healing from my body. I need strength
-
or the frailties of life. I need help that can only come from you.
-
I need salvation for my torment and soul. I need deliverance from my
-
habits and addictions. Someone by praid. I need the Holy Ghost to give
-
me power. I'm gonna say it again. A successful businessman can have an
-
early morning routine where they work out. We can have a daily prayer life
-
day that Bobby reinhabited. Preacher, I was just cutting a tree. Now
-
where the axe said, you know, we needed a place to live in,
-
a bigger place for all these young profits, these young preachers. The
-
place that we've been living in is too small. We need to expand.
-
While I was cut the tree, act said, came off and flew into
-
the Georgian River. Master. What bothers me is it was borrowat. I
-
realized I'm missing something, the conscientiousness of it. Preacher, I lost control
-
of this situation. I wasn't expecting this, but I need to get a
-
handle on this s situation. Preacher, Seek the Lord, as this young
-
man sought the prophet. A last Master, My last Lord filled me where
-
the holy goes. The last Master healed my body, a last Master.
-
Very sober tonight, a little more sobering than it was this morning, out
-
of the love seeking him. It's so rewarding, it's so fulfilling to seek
-
him, to realize he has ushered me into his presence, and I have
-
an audience with a king praising. Why do people discontinue seeking the Lord after
-
he helps them? Why did Yousiah discontinue seeking the Lord after he had been
-
helped so marvelously? Why have you ceased seeking the Lord, I'm talking to
-
some people in this building tonight. I can feel the burden a song the
-
way the PA system malfunction hasn't done that in years. Perhaps it's just the
-
malfunctioning of the equipment. Perhaps it's a coincidence. Or perhaps the enemy knows
-
we're benefiting when we seek the Lord, and he didn't want you to hear
-
this message. I don't know. Maybe it's just barely equipment malfunction. Maybe
-
no, but seeking below, but seeking the hold a part him while he's
-
neared. Get ahold of him, and don't let go get a crippled Jesus.
-
