-
know. I tell you, I appreciate the Lord today. I'm so glad
-
for the grace of God. I'm glad Brother Howard, that you brought out
-
what you did today. Amen. There was a time that our church had
-
whittled down to about thirty thirty five people somewhere like that, and brother kit
-
and Roe had come to pastor the church and we felt like that we had
-
to use what we had because we didn't have what we needed. Okay,
-
we had about I want to say, three or four men that had the
-
Holy ghost, and as our pastor prayed and sought God, I don't I
-
don't think it was long after he took the church felt that whoever we had
-
in the Sunday school classes and need to be Holy Ghost feel and so we
-
kind of had to pity back superintendent that had to play substitute at times.
-
I mean, we had three three preachers in the church that a lot of
-
times evangelized, and so we had made up our mind to do this and
-
sought God and prayed and it was long, and God got to bless and
-
God got to help in us. I don't know how long we went.
-
I don't know how long we struggled that way. Not to say that God
-
didn't help us and man, but but we needed people feel with the Holy
-
Ghost, feel positions in the House of God. Why because they need to
-
be lad of the Holy Ghost. Just this evening I got trying to figure
-
out the men that we got filled with the Holy Ghost now and we've probably
-
got about twelve or thirteen, maybe more than that. I didn't just concentrate
-
on a real heart, maybe more than that, and we got more than
-
enough to feel our positions and a house of God and half last over,
-
man, I can evangelize now and I have to worry about teaching a Sunday
-
school class or every whatever. We've got people to feel those positions. When
-
you put it in the hands of God and you trust God, God will
-
do whatever it needs to be. Dad, brother Christian, Isa in your
-
shoes. One time, okay, as a child who thought what I'm gonna
-
preach about? I just wanted to testify with it. So and how many
-
has children, young children at home played church and I knew how I felt,
-
but I didn't know how my sins. But it hadn't been just I
-
don't know, maybe six months a year ago, were sitting around some of
-
the family visiting and when my brother spoke up, he said, yeah,
-
we tried to play church at home and tell him had to always get spiritualized
-
us. But brother, how I felt it as I was trying to play
-
preach if you will to my siblings, I actually felt that spirit of God
-
and I felt from a young age for the Christian that I would probably be
-
called to preach to the place to where it bothered me seeking for the Holy
-
God. I went to my pastor. Brother Vernon McGrew was where a pastor
-
at that time. I went to him. I talked to him. He
-
said brother to him. The devil may be just using that. Did you
-
forget? So you know what I'm beginning to do. I begin to try
-
to ignore it because I didn't want anything to keep me from going through.
-
If I'm gonna preacher, God, it's fine. If not, that's fine.
-
I need the Holy Ghost. That's the most important thing in my life.
-
If I never preached, I needed the Holy Ghost. You know what,
-
when I got the Holy Ghost, it never crossed my head. I'm
-
ashamed that it took me as long as it did to get it. But
-
I finally God and the Lord finally helped me. And then when God did
-
begin to deal with me, what did I do? I thought? I
-
thought, I said, Lord, I can't preach. I'm graduated from twelfth
-
grade, but I was nowhere shouldn't read No, are that good? I
-
just didn't feel like, Lord, I was capable. I was able.
-
I didn't feel like I feeled them. Uh, the I don't know what
-
you. I just feel like I And I prayed, and I get the
-
seeking God out, and all of a sudden, I Holy Ghost the fun
-
and I still fun, and I found myself praying about it again and again.
-
The good spirit of God, the witness would move on me. And
-
I remember being over my my wife's grandparents, and as I was out in
-
the yard of work, and I was a seeking God, and I find
-
it broke down and I told the Lord Lord, I don't think I could
-
do it. But if this is what you want me to do, he
-
said, call and a good holy ghost fail and a witness mood den And
-
if we're not careful, the devils we'll use things own us to keep us
-
from obtaining that that we need. At the time the phone range. Somebody
-
hollered out the door and said, town, you got a phone call.
-
I went in an answer to call, and brother Braxton be God, a
-
good, good preacher, brother was on the other end. He said,
-
brother Tim, for you not to be a preacher. You are one of
-
the hardest people. But he didn't know what I just failed. God is
-
wounding to to give you the Holy God. Amen, he's wanting to give
-
it to you. He's no respect or person a man. So you pray
-
for us that the Lord to help us. Amen. Thought thought I hadn't
-
a message picked out this morning picked out? Thought I had what the Lord
-
wanted me to preach. As I got up for the howl. The Lord
-
began to work on me, and he changed my message. Uh, you'll
-
do it. I want you to go with us to Jeremiah the eighth chapter.
-
I do need the help of God. Tonight, such a good needing
-
such it's preaching, such a good moved with the power of God. Amen.
-
But it's not over. So if tonight comes and gold, it's still
-
not over. We're coming back to the House of God and we're going to
-
press on. Hey. Amen, but I'm wanting to see somebody obtain what
-
they're needing from God. Amen, you pray for us. It's the Lord
-
to help us. Jeremiah the eighth of chapter. And I'm willing to again
-
reading here in the eighteenth verse, when I would come from myself against sorrow.
-
My heart is faint in me. Behold the voice of the cry of
-
the Daughter and my people, because of them that the well in the far
-
country. It's not the Lord in Zion, it's not her king and her
-
Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images and with strange vanities.
-
The harvest is passed, the summers ended, and we are not saved
-
for the hurt of the Daughter of my people. Am I heard? I
-
am black? Astonishment taken a hold on me. Is there no bomb in
-
Gilead? Is there no physician there? Why then, is not the health
-
of the daughter of my people recovered? You may be seated? Thank you
-
for Stallion, for the room of the Word of God. And I thought
-
about this portion of scripture here. A lot of times we hear this preached
-
on and we look at it and, uh, they're asking a question.
-
But it's not It's not like a question. Let me get it right.
-
Is not the Lord? It's not huh where the act? It's not a
-
But I got to thinking about it just a little different. You can take
-
questions and you can say them different ways, and it puts a whole different
-
meania on it. And the Bible said, it's not the Lord in Zion.
-
It's not her key and her. Sometimes we ask it like we're what
-
where is it? Why is he not here? Why can we not feel
-
it? But I wanted to ask it is the Lord not in Desion?
-

-
