  9. know. I tell you, I appreciate the Lord today. I'm so glad

  10. for the grace of God. I'm glad Brother Howard, that you brought out

  11. what you did today. Amen. There was a time that our church had

  12. whittled down to about thirty thirty five people somewhere like that, and brother kit

  13. and Roe had come to pastor the church and we felt like that we had

  14. to use what we had because we didn't have what we needed. Okay,

  15. we had about I want to say, three or four men that had the

  16. Holy ghost, and as our pastor prayed and sought God, I don't I

  17. don't think it was long after he took the church felt that whoever we had

  18. in the Sunday school classes and need to be Holy Ghost feel and so we

  19. kind of had to pity back superintendent that had to play substitute at times.

  20. I mean, we had three three preachers in the church that a lot of

  21. times evangelized, and so we had made up our mind to do this and

  22. sought God and prayed and it was long, and God got to bless and

  23. God got to help in us. I don't know how long we went.

  24. I don't know how long we struggled that way. Not to say that God

  25. didn't help us and man, but but we needed people feel with the Holy

  26. Ghost, feel positions in the House of God. Why because they need to

  27. be lad of the Holy Ghost. Just this evening I got trying to figure

  28. out the men that we got filled with the Holy Ghost now and we've probably

  29. got about twelve or thirteen, maybe more than that. I didn't just concentrate

  30. on a real heart, maybe more than that, and we got more than

  31. enough to feel our positions and a house of God and half last over,

  32. man, I can evangelize now and I have to worry about teaching a Sunday

  33. school class or every whatever. We've got people to feel those positions. When

  34. you put it in the hands of God and you trust God, God will

  35. do whatever it needs to be. Dad, brother Christian, Isa in your

  36. shoes. One time, okay, as a child who thought what I'm gonna

  37. preach about? I just wanted to testify with it. So and how many

  38. has children, young children at home played church and I knew how I felt,

  39. but I didn't know how my sins. But it hadn't been just I

  40. don't know, maybe six months a year ago, were sitting around some of

  41. the family visiting and when my brother spoke up, he said, yeah,

  42. we tried to play church at home and tell him had to always get spiritualized

  43. us. But brother, how I felt it as I was trying to play

  44. preach if you will to my siblings, I actually felt that spirit of God

  45. and I felt from a young age for the Christian that I would probably be

  46. called to preach to the place to where it bothered me seeking for the Holy

  47. God. I went to my pastor. Brother Vernon McGrew was where a pastor

  48. at that time. I went to him. I talked to him. He

  49. said brother to him. The devil may be just using that. Did you

  50. forget? So you know what I'm beginning to do. I begin to try

  51. to ignore it because I didn't want anything to keep me from going through.

  52. If I'm gonna preacher, God, it's fine. If not, that's fine.

  53. I need the Holy Ghost. That's the most important thing in my life.

  54. If I never preached, I needed the Holy Ghost. You know what,

  55. when I got the Holy Ghost, it never crossed my head. I'm

  56. ashamed that it took me as long as it did to get it. But

  57. I finally God and the Lord finally helped me. And then when God did

  58. begin to deal with me, what did I do? I thought? I

  59. thought, I said, Lord, I can't preach. I'm graduated from twelfth

  60. grade, but I was nowhere shouldn't read No, are that good? I

  61. just didn't feel like, Lord, I was capable. I was able.

  62. I didn't feel like I feeled them. Uh, the I don't know what

  63. you. I just feel like I And I prayed, and I get the

  64. seeking God out, and all of a sudden, I Holy Ghost the fun

  65. and I still fun, and I found myself praying about it again and again.

  66. The good spirit of God, the witness would move on me. And

  67. I remember being over my my wife's grandparents, and as I was out in

  68. the yard of work, and I was a seeking God, and I find

  69. it broke down and I told the Lord Lord, I don't think I could

  70. do it. But if this is what you want me to do, he

  71. said, call and a good holy ghost fail and a witness mood den And

  72. if we're not careful, the devils we'll use things own us to keep us

  73. from obtaining that that we need. At the time the phone range. Somebody

  74. hollered out the door and said, town, you got a phone call.

  75. I went in an answer to call, and brother Braxton be God, a

  76. good, good preacher, brother was on the other end. He said,

  77. brother Tim, for you not to be a preacher. You are one of

  78. the hardest people. But he didn't know what I just failed. God is

  79. wounding to to give you the Holy God. Amen, he's wanting to give

  80. it to you. He's no respect or person a man. So you pray

  81. for us that the Lord to help us. Amen. Thought thought I hadn't

  82. a message picked out this morning picked out? Thought I had what the Lord

  83. wanted me to preach. As I got up for the howl. The Lord

  84. began to work on me, and he changed my message. Uh, you'll

  85. do it. I want you to go with us to Jeremiah the eighth chapter.

  86. I do need the help of God. Tonight, such a good needing

  87. such it's preaching, such a good moved with the power of God. Amen.

  88. But it's not over. So if tonight comes and gold, it's still

  89. not over. We're coming back to the House of God and we're going to

  90. press on. Hey. Amen, but I'm wanting to see somebody obtain what

  91. they're needing from God. Amen, you pray for us. It's the Lord

  92. to help us. Jeremiah the eighth of chapter. And I'm willing to again

  93. reading here in the eighteenth verse, when I would come from myself against sorrow.

  94. My heart is faint in me. Behold the voice of the cry of

  95. the Daughter and my people, because of them that the well in the far

  96. country. It's not the Lord in Zion, it's not her king and her

  97. Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images and with strange vanities.

  98. The harvest is passed, the summers ended, and we are not saved

  99. for the hurt of the Daughter of my people. Am I heard? I

  100. am black? Astonishment taken a hold on me. Is there no bomb in
