  4. to feel the presence of the Lord in this place? Oh? Yes,

  5. he is here. He's here in a mighty way tonight. I appreciate that.

  6. I appreciate everything everybody has been doing for this precious church family. Brother

  7. Nathaniel, would you read to us from Saint John's Gospel the fifth chapter and

  8. the eighth verse, Jesus saith unto him, rise take up thy bed and

  9. walk, Rise, take up thy bed and walk? Was that a commandment

  10. specific for that individual that was surrounded by many other individuals that had serious leads?

  11. You mean the Lord wasn't just gonna touch him and just help him and

  12. let him just sit there forever? Know the Lord intended for him to take

  13. action. I want to preach a message that the Holy Ghost has titled moving

  14. from My place to His place. There is no doubt this man had a

  15. place there for thirty eight years. Brother Jesse First Samuel, chapter number seventeen

  16. and verse number twenty six. And David Spake to the men that stood by

  17. him, saying, what shall be done to the man that killeth this philistine

  18. and taketh the way they reproach from Israel? Or who is this uncircumcised phillistine

  19. that he should defy the armies of the Living God. How many of you

  20. know that David was taken action? Hey man, I want to preach to

  21. us, Move and from my place to his place, or you could think

  22. of it like this, Get up and get after it. Because we stand

  23. for the reading of our text tonight. The third chapter of the Book of

  24. Joshua and the third verse the Bible said, and they commanded the people,

  25. saying, when ye see the ark of the Covenant of the Lorger God and

  26. the priest of the Levites Bearitan, then ye shall remove from your place and

  27. go after it, moving from my place to his place. Look at that

  28. matter part of first number three. Again, remove from your place and go

  29. after it. What were they going after? The ark of the Covenant,

  30. the spirit of God represented in a box. Heavenly Father, we love it.

  31. We praise you. I pray that you would have thought this. I

  32. servant, set a god at my mouth, and help me to say the

  33. things that you would happen to say nothing more and less and nought the ears

  34. of this our people, that they might hear what it is the spirit is

  35. saying to this group of people. Tone. I prayed God that you would

  36. allow these sayings to gold below the shoulders. Lord, that it rares a

  37. name within our spirit. I pray God that you would have torn me and

  38. their lord, the preacher and those that hear the preacher. Lord, I

  39. played that we would be carried to our place here in this typing oucle him

  40. too, nor place to hold it of holy these thought which you help us.

  41. We prayed that may we depart this place truthful it and not softly in

  42. Jesus name. And the church said, hey, man, I want you

  43. to look at your neighbor and say, hey, neighbor, are you moving

  44. from your place to his place? Ay? Man, I want to preach

  45. move and from my place to his place. Our text has found in an

  46. Old Testament book of the whole Bible. This morning, while preaching, I

  47. mentioned a character and his name as Joshua. While mentioning the man Joshua,

  48. I also mentioned his predecessor Moses. I was dropping a hint about what I

  49. would be preaching all tonight. I feel like if you were to be where

  50. I am standing, you would understand it. Undoubtedly the Lord has given us

  51. a bird and for this service, and given us a message for some people

  52. in this building tonight. When I think of the man Joshua, I'm immediately

  53. thinking of someone that is a professional fighter, a skilled warrior. I'm also

  54. thinking of a general of sorts. I'm thinking of a command or's somebody that

  55. had served faithfully under the leadership of the Processor Moses. This is a man

  56. that no doubt caught the bird, and of those that had gone on before

  57. him, this is one of those men that watched the children of Israel bring

  58. forth and multiply while wondering in the wilderness. This is a man that ministered

  59. under the ministry of Moses to desert babies, people that witnessed people die in

  60. the plan of God simply because they would not embrace the promised land when given

  61. an opportunity. So there was a generation of desert babies, people that had

  62. been built bored in the wilderness during a time whenever the children of Israel were

  63. paying a penalty for not being obedient and doing the things that God had told

  64. them to do. The Bible readers among us no very well that this man

  65. Chashall meant so much to the people of God. There us no doubt he

  66. meant a lot to God himself. He's a wonderful man of God. He's

  67. a young man that would tarry in the time a knuckle waiting to feel the

  68. presence of the Lord. And listen, if you ever assume responsibility of any

  69. kind of leadership at all, let us parental leadership, or you become a

  70. boss fan on the job, or you just become a leader in the church,

  71. you will feel this overwhelming burden put upon your shoulders. And if you

  72. love God and God's people, tell you two will feel the need at times

  73. to pray all not long you two will feel the need to tarry in the

  74. church house around the altar, or to tarry then fire forest until you hear

  75. from God. So this young man becomes a wonderful leader in the stead of

  76. a Moses. Now I want you to imagine with me, at the time

  77. of this writing of our texts, we find that the Cheerman of Israel are

  78. standing on the very threshold of the Promised Land. They are there, finally,

  79. finally they received some good news, this news that they had longed to

  80. hear. You see, their ancestors had received similar news, but they let

  81. out and fear and unbelief keep them from inheriting and inhabiting the promised the land.

  82. And because of doubt, fear, and unbelief, we find it that

  83. they did not possess their promised to land. In fact, they did not

  84. seize the opportunity by the four locks. They did not immerse it, and

  85. they did not properly prepare for the moment that they needed to take action.

  86. In I feel like this summing in this building. You know that the next

  87. step we're about to take. You know our next move. You can build

  88. the promises of Godd. You know that the promises of God are you?

  89. And Amen? Then you're not waiting like these predecessors did until you hear that

  90. it's time to go into the promised land. You're not waiting until the hour

  91. before service starts. You're not waiting until the day before revival starts. You're

  92. adequately prepared telling the promise to land. We found that the predecessors to these

  93. successors, Choshua and the Desert Baby generation, have not properly prepared. They

  94. have got so they had looked atter promised Land, that they had been disappointed

  95. and discouraged by the testimonies of others that pastoral exhortation. No, mu's a

  96. goal, I said. Your attics and your attitudes have act said affected people,

  97. whether was intentional or not. You want to be corrected. If you're

  98. a love chast cast it because has been as charming lawson. He chastised,

  99. I hate the murder. This cannot be cogeneration that missus Alton who the promise.

  100. This cannot be cogeneration that learns the attics and the attitudes and pre regenerations.

  101. I don't feel like it. This anybody's team leader. There was ausability

  102. to pass to the next generation negativity. We must pass her positivity if they're

  103. gonna possess the promised lad. You see, these people are excited because they

  104. had heard mom and Daddy talk about the time they had talked about the time

  105. when they were we little lads. They heard Dad and Mom talk about to

  106. Moses, old Man and God and leading them to the threshold of the Promised

  107. Land, only to lose it when it was in their grip when they had

  108. it. To call me to lose their crypt it. I thought about the

  109. torture and the torment of knowing that I almost had it. I was sitting

  110. in the fellowship haul this past Sunday night, and I asked Sister Wound her

  111. question. I had never asked her. I don't want anybody prior to any

  112. additional information out of her. But I said that you ever have another boyfriend

  113. beside her soul mate en Ruten. And she said yes. I pushing to

  114. tell you something you did not know. She said, I was very serious

  115. with somebody else. She said in Pata, I was engaged. He was

  116. my fiance. We went to get married, but between the bell then he

  117. Michael led. He stayed Roy twenty nine man. He had an accident and

  118. was in chected from the vehicle and he died. She said, I remember

  119. getting that phone call and how I cried there I lest he than opportunity to

  120. be married. Sister Ruten has experienced that. I'm telling you that you better

  121. get to the hold of the promises. I said, you better get and

  122. get ahead of the promises. You can miss it. Then when not to

  123. sway be there will up is God's will. It'll always be there. It'll

  124. always be available. Sister Wood said, it was so heartbreaking, so saying

  125. you to get that phone call. What she's saying is the wedding bells that

  126. had come into earshot? Is that wedding bells that I hear they begin to

  127. drift away? Or the promised land that is within view? Now we've had

  128. to put the car in reverse and turn around like a state trooper Dunza or

  129. the highway head in the opposite direction, because God is not happy at all

  130. without disabediens. Do you know you can drive right up in the right way?

  131. And that how that God promise you that I had to put it in

  132. re person and pulled down the road and never wat through the front door.

  133. And I promise that. I tell him you you better feel God. I

  134. said, you better fear God and running bess if you can't you hear if

  135. you'll let somebody come between you? And he didn't mean not going. I

  136. tell her he will hear her then running bells leaving what happened? When I

  137. was a kid, I'd said, what happened? Where'd you go? I

  138. heard the ice cream truck that meant to ice cream? Man? Was there

  139. that meant to ice cream? Was in the truck. The blessing was there.

  140. The sweet thing was there. I saw it on the next street over

  141. that was so close I could hear it or what happened. And somebody had

  142. saved me. Calls her. He was unable to turn from that street.

  143. He was in being yet to do so. Today he turned around. I

  144. remember standing there with my two dollars. They come on now, one chudge

  145. Washington and another charge Washington. They're watching them literally waver type and the red

  146. to the ice cream man. I did not get to that ice cream that

  147. I lary. I'm talking to somebody here to night. We talked deals with

  148. you. We've got them. Tell with a spirit, I said, they

  149. tied deals, we were sold. We've gotta take accent. I preach him

  150. the night. Are you gonna be his place for your place? That was

  151. not their place. It was not their place to be wandering in the wilderness.

  152. They were out of place. They were out of place. There's a

  153. lot of people out of his place. They say it's the house of God.

  154. They got to name God, Lord and Jesus plastering on the marquis the

  155. church side. But God said, now I'm nowhere around there. It is

  156. not a house of God. It is a social Gatherine, it is a

  157. social club. Are you happy with Auctor? Are you content with Auctor?

  158. How about it? Are you ready to move from your place to his place?

  159. The moment, that's fine, that cock, I said a man,

  160. that God, that's fine. That time God has made her name, that

  161. I seem to be there, the moment, it's here, It's finally happened.

  162. I can't believe this. I prayed for this. I'm celebrated for this.

  163. I'm telling you my mouth has been full of slava for the leech and

  164. the mellage of the leech of the village. All come on now, the

  165. great and the honey of the problems land. And I'm sure this doesn't Baby

  166. generation is saying, we're finally here. We're standing on the banks of the

  167. river. We've been one day Casson for forty years, but we're finally here.

  168. And mom and got in here. Might have missing. They're opportunity here,

  169. but that doesn't pay me, So we're not gonna missing. They're opportuning.

  170. Listen to the church and don't brow that Daddy and Mamma has done.

  171. It doesn't matter but God. But as for me, my castle. We

  172. will serve the Lord at his place. Who we all serve the Lord at

  173. his place. Imagine the hustle and the rustle. There's more excitement being generation

  174. generated this day in the household of the Howard on Christmas Eve. Imagine the

  175. excitement. It is great, and it's contagious, and it's infectious. Everybody

  176. ask why are you smiling? What are you smiling about? What are you

  177. so happy about? Is type wetting bills that I'm here? Why are you

  178. smiling like that? Look home, worker's aska. Oh come on, now,

  179. where are you going? You're taking a trip. You see, these

  180. people are standing on the brakes up chilly Charity. They're swearing a bunch of

  181. banks and they proceed to whatever from means. It's finally happening, just like

  182. the lad God promise. Forty years later, they are there. They're standing

  183. there, and they're being known that the house a right. I will never

  184. discredited the times of that God has in it been in my life, in

  185. my bid payments. He has taken me from my place to his place.

  186. I'm preaching to message the holys time from my place to his place. The

  187. big day has arrived. Sister WoT would tell you she never made it from

  188. her place to his place. But to day did come that she made it

  189. from her place to Jean's place. Y'all, bear, women, we're going

  190. somewhere here. If you were to flip back just a little bit in your

  191. Bible, you would see the last verse of Joshua chapter two is this,

  192. and they set him to Joshua. Truly, the Lord hath delivered into our

  193. hands all the land, for even all the inhabitants of the country do fate

  194. because of who, Because of us. These had to be encouraging arts to

  195. Chosela. I'm sure he was all ears listening to the reports of these two

  196. spiles. I wonder why Joselava reduced to the number of the spies, because

  197. he knew when the Leader Knows sent twelve, he was only one team that

  198. brought back at Clare Park. Come on, now, somebody said the safe

  199. to you and the counselor bitting that's true. Into your counseling wheels, rise

  200. Mela. Just the spies into the labor that bring music to his ears.

  201. Way, Beth, you really want to lose that opportunity, do you.

  202. I'm talking to somebody that you really want to let others hinder your life and

  203. hurts you and bring harm to you, Because the truth is God's dealing with

  204. you, you as an individual, you as a person. That's why the

  205. great leader to Ushuah said, choose you this day, whom you're going to

  206. serve? Whose house of worship? Will you attend worship? Act? Will

  207. you go to a house of confusion where God has got the author of the

  208. textbook? There? Will you go to the house of Jehovah? Will it

  209. be a two foot tap in otclaw? Will you understand that one day there

  210. will be solidity there. One time there will be permanency, a presidency there.

  211. One time you will settle. You will quit driving dell state tent states

  212. and anchoring your tent for a little while. You will put down the murder.

  213. You will lay a farm. Day said you will inherent houses. That's

  214. who did not build. I'm telling somebody that that's what's gonna happen there.

  215. Will we go to heaven. We're gonna take to a place that's already prepared.

  216. Will you miss that? I'm here, run it, bail, I'm

  217. running. I told her from this place some day as a place he said

  218. in my father's house. There are many mansions, brother Jes said. Jocelin

  219. knew them all too well, the words of discomfort by people that discourage the

  220. spirits of others. God can be about to do something wonderful among his people,

  221. and there will be Job's counsel, or so to speak, there will

  222. be the devil's advocates that begin to speak. And you know what, Joshua,

  223. we could say in years gone by there were ten men, but thank

  224. god they're dead and buried. Now there were ten men to put up a

  225. protest any time I tried to inherit the promise, there were ten men on

  226. the council that was brute and saying, we're not gonna go that way.

  227. We're not able to inherit her little land. Come on, do you know

  228. your Bible? Every time he would hear now to it was probably like a

  229. knight to his ear. Trumps twenty but went out him that only to believe

  230. that they're able to take the land as their old Tim felt like it.

  231. It was an impossibility, and Tim felt like it. It was a possibility.

  232. The knifing pain to the ear, Trump said, or Jocelyn Tailor or

  233. the words or Tim Spice and it goes like this that in that land that

  234. God has promised us, we saw childs, the sonset of a nature.

  235. They come out and their childs, and we are in their eyes as crosshoppers.

  236. And to be honest with you, we feel like we are crasshoppers.

  237. Hold the contrast of the recharncer. After forty years, we want to learn

  238. something, after forty years, after much pasts, how to rut play it.

  239. We want to be ready to possess the private. Did y'all catch the

  240. contrast between those two reports. One of them is an evil report, the

  241. other is a glorious report. We were as grasshoppers in the eyes of the

  242. chants, and also we feel like we're grasshoppers. You can call yourself a

  243. grasshopper all you want, but whenever you're moving from church to church trying to

  244. find his place, I won't call you a churchhopper or a grasshopper. I'll

  245. call you somebody that is trying to hot Come right over the cat where you

  246. know the spiritual that God is. Let him call you a grasshopper, Let

  247. him call you what every day has been from. Let him call you a

  248. church shopper. But I know I'm gonna get out of my place, that

  249. I'm gonna get in his place. All the inhabitants of the land doth bount

  250. they are faint of heart because of us, all what patience does, all

  251. the perfect work that patience plays out in our life. Also suffering trial,

  252. tribulation, and wondering in the wilderness, and depending upon God every day,

  253. all the lessons it will teach us. You know, I feel like David

  254. had this testimony in mind whenever he went that day to visit to his brothers

  255. and Saul in the armies of Israel. He might have handed his knapsacker some

  256. bread and cheese from his father Jesse, that brother Jesse. He was all

  257. here, so he was listening to the words of a son or the senda

  258. of a Naca. That I feel like David knew the word of Carna,

  259. that he knew what Chostler has said. That they're just demanding the way because

  260. of us, say God's people. We all had a similar stature. We

  261. are not giants, but we might be shepherd boys and would not be crosshoppers.

  262. Say, but they will make up that. I feel a like I's

  263. that David was saying that that day when he waited out in the field with

  264. the giants. Oh. Yes, he knew that with God was with him,

  265. God would help him. Y'all will be here tonight. You couldn't handle

  266. a little reproof before the preacher stole your shout. Huh, I love the

  267. hair, grasshoppers preach. I got him out here preaching. And you know

  268. what little is much when God is in it. And so Joshua knew we

  269. can handle Ain't not in his descendants. David knew we can handle the descendants

  270. of aindak Oh. Come on now, the devil can give it a name,

  271. drug, addiction, bondage, fear, unbelief, confusing, anxiety,

  272. depression, and worry. The devil can give them the sentence of anack of

  273. name. He can say they've got six fingers and six terms on each hand.

  274. In puta, he can say the name is Kalida. To let this

  275. not matter. They are children of the devil. There ips of hail.

  276. And the last time I checked out is still to homeless leaf, I said,

  277. Lisa is still les. No nothing firm to gets us shall prosper.

  278. In both instances, God had promised Canaan to Israel. At both opportunities,

  279. all they have to do is cross the threshold. When you go into your

  280. house. There's a threshold. There is there not the guys in this building

  281. that work construction. No, very well, what I'm talking about. Those

  282. of you that have carried your bride over the threshold into your house, you

  283. know very well what I'm talking about. She's moved from her house to your

  284. house. She's crossed the thresholds. She's in your domain, she's in your

  285. territory. Here they are two separate times. They're standing literally at the bank

  286. of the river Jordan, and they're taking an assessment and they're doing inventory of

  287. what belongs to them. And there's two spies. Again. These spies are

  288. saying, hey, we're able to handle it. It's ours. I think

  289. they got tired of hearing the stories of how good it was. They got

  290. tired of people sitting around the tyberknacle and the campfire talking about her. Let's

  291. should have been Irison, not could have been Hires or if they to true

  292. coaxon and can what con turning to do thirty years Tyler, this would have

  293. been all whole walk. That is safer. The ats wouldn't have had to

  294. take this body away. Oh yes, I'm talking about. I tell you

  295. I haven't had us a correct that people wouldn't he do not come. God

  296. wouldn't have been great for Moses to have enjoyed the fruit of his labor.

  297. But because of the unbelief of people, they all knew this was a land

  298. of potential. They all knew. I'd never thought I would have this.

  299. I never even thought that was possible to have this. I've heard people before

  300. saying I had no idea I could go to a church like that. I

  301. had no idea that I could sit under a pastor to like that. I

  302. had no ideil that I could call a church family luck that my own.

  303. I had no idea that I could leave my place and go to that place.

  304. It's a beautiful land. It's a place of Father Gilk and Honey.

  305. I heard Sister Teresa Wallace say recently to me. She said, the first

  306. time I came to kept meeting here, when we left, I cried and

  307. I told me, he ch oh, the one day that would be whold

  308. for the one day they would do my Chruch family, they can't be to

  309. be. I need to pray in church tonight. If I've ever had word

  310. all these years later, and now the outlook is different. They are saying,

  311. truly, truly, that's what it says. The testimony is truly the

  312. Lord hath delivered it into our hands. You know what they're saying. And

  313. Joshua was just saying, this is a music to my ears. And he's

  314. thinking about the epitaph of those other ten spires that they buried in the wilderness

  315. and said, we're not able. We cannot do it. It's imp civility,

  316. will never get there, will never arrive. And Joshua was saying,

  317. come on, deacons to appreciate, tell us what you've seen. I'm a

  318. little bit older now and I did not execute the style operation. But he

  319. is a steel as sweet as it was so when I was there last.

  320. Is it steel and as beautiful as it was said when I was very lost.

  321. I want you to know I'm not interesting and hearing how it used to

  322. be. I'm tired, but carry in the ashes of the castle. Somebody

  323. feel the fire in this generation, the less time the podast to the fire.

  324. It's the move of God. Steel as good as it was forty years

  325. ago, asked Brother gabral Is the intill another holy ghost, the entwilling for

  326. the Holy Ghost. Steel's kurt. Now, I said, wassa many years

  327. to care? What's sister God? Yes it still has been a home.

  328. I'll talk about Amen. What's your outlook on him? Are you excited about

  329. it? Don't let anybody ran on your parade. Don't let anybody put some

  330. fire out. You come home excited, You make that phone call excited.

  331. I got the Holy Ghost, you better watch out. I got the power

  332. God, you better watch out. I heard the Holy Ghost said to me

  333. years ago, somebody was raining on my parade. I was thinking about that,

  334. and the Holy Ghost said, when your parade is being rained on,

  335. look to see who is holding the waterholes and get away from them. They

  336. come on Joshua, who was glad and new team and elders couldn't stand up.

  337. And they were skilled waters. They were fighters because they hadn't went behind

  338. the enemy lives if you would. They were the Navy Seal team or this

  339. day and hour with bother Nathan, and they come back and said, don't

  340. touch it. We can't handle that time. But these such fires are saying

  341. that truly Doll has given a time unto us. And I'm telling you,

  342. if call us laid. I'll a promise for you. You gotta get a

  343. pot, dog, gritpenite, and not get call. I will not be

  344. denied. I gotta holds truly. The Lord hath delivered them into our hands.

  345. You're right, Israeli Seal Team ten. You're right. You can't handle

  346. it. You can't deliver it in our hands. But God can't. This

  347. generation's putting all their hope and all their confidence in God. These Israelites are

  348. ready to take their children into the promise. These is Roights are ready to

  349. put the tip of their sword into the hangcomb and taste it. These is

  350. Lights are ready to pluck off a cluster of grapes and take it home to

  351. their babies and wash their babies mouths be stayed purple. They come on their

  352. royalty signs of the royalty. And so we find them speaking these words in

  353. the land of Shittim. And the Bible said they made their journey from Shittem

  354. after they heard these words and stood them, and seemingly was a hopeless situation.

  355. They stood at the banks of Trodan excited, and they thought, what's

  356. gonna happen next to how are we gonna cross the river Chroitan with so many

  357. people, how are we gonna get from our place to that place? So?

  358. How are we gonna get from our place up to his place? And

  359. for three days they stood there and won How did it happen? How in

  360. patience possess you your souls? In God's waiting room? They stood there for

  361. three days and for three nights they waited. The only thing they could see

  362. was Canaan land and the walls of the Parcher's city, Jericho, Brother Nathaniel.

  363. They could also see the raging water half Ajordan. They stared at Canaan,

  364. and they stared at Jordan. They stared at Canaan, and they stared

  365. at Jordan. They looked at their promise and said one day. And then

  366. they stared at Jordan and wondered, how am I preaching to anybody here?

  367. To night? They stared, and then they wondered. They stared, and

  368. they wondered, Brother Nathaniel, how can we troll from this river of impossibility?

  369. But you know what they did not do. They did not turn back

  370. man what the Bible said, any man having set up his hand to the

  371. plow and looking back, it is not pa king of the car The same

  372. as that pickaball to lots of water. You better not look back off they

  373. go, must know looking back into the cons on the other side of the

  374. put all we can do to stand at the river Jordan and the eight,

  375. think of the anc think of the long here. Brother Jesse's standing right here,

  376. stand right here. I know, I know there's something better coming right

  377. I know there's something really close. But between me and it is this river,

  378. this raging doubt, unbelief, confusion, questions. You need to quit

  379. looking into river Jordans, sir and ma'am, and you need to look at

  380. King. You need to quit staring at the circumstances. I'm telling you,

  381. if you stare at the circumstances long enough, you're gonna fall in to the

  382. river. And do you know where the river Jordan leads? It washes everything

  383. where to the dead sea. Everything drifts away unto death, and everything falls

  384. away to death. I've seen people standing on the banks of the ruby red

  385. blood of Jesus and they consider the cycriposta that he made, and I considered

  386. the cycriposta they make it, and they look across their tak under heaven,

  387. they look across their tail underheading us. They look across their tak on the

  388. sectplication, They look across the taking to the lefts and victory that they're just

  389. got willing to stare ahead at Heaven. They're unwilling to stare I the promise

  390. here, Come on now. They're unwilling to leave their place of comfort and

  391. the day to his place. I'm preaching to moving from my place to His

  392. place. What do you look for when you're about to make a move of

  393. that magnitude. All I'm doing is being a preacher and preaching the burden of

  394. my heart. I'm letting the Holy go speak to you. I have talked

  395. to nobody. I've counseled nobody. I've drought no subtle hints. I have

  396. not implied anything. I am preaching to you what God gave me to preach

  397. to you. What were they looking for? If you look at Joshua three

  398. and three, you'll five that they are looking for the ark of the Covenant.

  399. They're looking for brother's spirit of God is moving. I'm telling you it's

  400. a good indicator. When you see brother Jesse get the Holy ghost, and

  401. when you see brother Jonathan Heapwards get the herding ghost when you see brother Philip

  402. Power will get the Holy Ghost. When you see brother Caleb Orn Camper,

  403. so many others get the Holy ghosts indicative of the Holy Ghost his move to

  404. come on now, and we're looking for the arc of the Covenant, which

  405. represents the spirit of God. When I considered Canan, I wrote to Nelan,

  406. is the arc of God leading me there? When I consider Heaven.

  407. When I considered the Promise Land, I wrote to know, he's the spirit

  408. of God detectible in that situation. I'm saying your life for the cable.

  409. It's indicative that you were caught up and the Holy Ghost, and I was

  410. a spirit of God trolling you to the bankser on the Red Sea, and

  411. you're trying you to the banks of the rivertory. Only the swiftle you were

  412. across to the other side and to the Promiser. Come the Holy Ghost.

  413. I'll try to preak care you here, then put the Holy ghosts you with

  414. it. When I need a sign, there'll be no other sign given the

  415. Holy Ghost is sign enough. The Holy Ghost movement in my son's life has

  416. proved positive enough to know that I'm in the will of God, no matter

  417. who speaks against our move. Sixteen years ago we were obeying God. This

  418. is the sign when the ark moose, we're going to move. That should

  419. have been the sign. Brother, to think when Eli fell off the seat

  420. and broke his neck and the ark of the Covenant has been taken captive.

  421. You know what they said, the spirit of God has gone. I've hurt

  422. people before, say preacher, give me about two years to pray about it.

  423. I don't want to be a church hopper. Listen, sir, the

  424. very mamitad the spirit of God has called the very moment. If the boy

  425. gets fitted Adam got a holy custom. Can you place day place? They

  426. are nothing to pray about at that point when God leaves, there's a vacuum

  427. that pulls in seven other vile spirits worse than the one that was there when

  428. God took over a vacuum, a vacuum. God was here. But where

  429. is he now? I've heard many of you that have moved to your transplants

  430. have said, we needed to get here, We needed to get here.

  431. Notice. Notice they removed from their place and they moved into the place that

  432. God had for them. The Bible said they went after him, looked at

  433. him the last part of Joshua, chapter number three and verse number three,

  434. and said, removed from your place and go after it, like brother EJ

  435. did yesterday. He was headed to cheesecake factory. But it said Serena said,

  436. Longhorn is sounding good. My pastor LIFs Longhorn, and I Longhorn.

  437. Now only Longhorn can steer you away from the cheesecape factory because I love the

  438. cheesecake factory. But I love Longhorn a whole lot better than I love cheesecake

  439. factory. So when brother Ej told me they didn't make it to the cheesecake

  440. factory, I knew the answer, but I had to ask the question.

  441. I said, where did you go? He said Longhorn. I knew the

  442. answer to that. Now. I'm telling you, when God calls you out,

  443. he will not call you into anything less than what you leave out from

  444. that. He will call you to something better. I'm telling you I've seen

  445. people before. They knew that God was dealing with them, and like a

  446. lot of hold they took action, But they stopped somewhere between them and where

  447. God told them to be. You can leave soldom in Gabara and not enough

  448. in the right place. So I'm telling somebody that you go with a spiritual

  449. of cod he house, you go where you see, that's the prove t

  450. is the truth you told the screw the remains from the truth. Anybody in

  451. this house. Here the knife, I've got some more sides. That's a

  452. look for him. You know what's in that ark of the covenant, Tables

  453. of the law, Tables of the law. They say, well, Jesus

  454. done away with the law. No he did not. He fulfilled the law.

  455. He didn't do away with the law like you waught up a piece of

  456. trash and throw it over your shoulder in the garbage pale. No, he

  457. came to bring it to the fool and find Jesus tightened up on it.

  458. He said, a man that lusteth in his heart after a woman committeth adultriate.

  459. Already, he said that when it's guy hate in his heart towards his

  460. brother is a murderer. Jesus is going try to minimize anything. Jesus maximized

  461. the potential of the law. And I don't know about you all, I

  462. know we don't keep the ceremonial law because that was perfected at Jesus Christ.

  463. And to offer the blood of bullets and golds and rams and pigeons and doves

  464. would be a terrible insult to Jesus Christ. But I appreciate the sanitary code

  465. that God gave Mooses telling how to dispose of waste. I appreciate the sanitary

  466. code within the law of Moses that talked about how how to have good hygiene

  467. and to be clean. I appreciate the blessed word of God. There's a

  468. whole lot more commitments than the Word of God than the ten that was in

  469. this ark of heaven. That if Jesus kind of complicated in a little bitter

  470. and he said, if you love me, keep my commandments. He did

  471. not say, if he loved me, pick him up like Moses did in

  472. disguster and throw him down. Ain't them now? He said, keep up?

  473. How do you keep them? If you've got the spear of God in

  474. your heart? The art of the permanence resigns in here. You have that

  475. problem with keeping his combat. When I go to a church where they're not

  476. preaching the word of God anymore and they're not keeping his commandments, and his

  477. commandments are unnecessary, it's addicative of I need to move from that place to

  478. his place. I'm just telling you there's some more signs here. That's something

  479. else that you'll notice. Not only are the tables of the law in this

  480. art that they're looking forward to move, there's also a pot of manner if

  481. the preacher can't preach, I'm gonna teach you something that a lot of preachers

  482. think because they find a good story and they build their sermon around that story,

  483. and they get a little bit of emotion out of you and you shed

  484. a few tears. That will not keep you a story in National Geographic or

  485. Reader's Digest. That's definitely good reading material at times. But I have learned,

  486. after all these years of preaching, it is not good preaching material.

  487. I've heard them tell stories of tragic accidents. I used to do it.

  488. I've heard them talk about people trying at the foot across in foreign country.

  489. So I've done it before myself. I've told it to the Only thing we

  490. did was producer crocodile tears of emotion in our altars that we lost our children.

  491. They box slid. The only thing that could change a man is not

  492. the laran. Say I'm a churnalist, say it is not the laran say,

  493. I'm a newspaper editor. It is not the laranchal of an article.

  494. He is the lancha talk that you will notice that with this preacher is preaching.

  495. I preach the iron Bosa preach the lion. I have that book in

  496. my office. I've had it for about twenty years. I ain't open it.

  497. About seven five hundred sermon illustrations, the most coveted illustration book of preachers.

  498. It's about this thick five hundred sermon illustrations by the Justin. It's about

  499. that thick and it definitely gender's emotions. Whenever you've picked some of them sermon

  500. illustrations out and they say you need two or three in a good sermon.

  501. You know what I've done for the last forty five minutes. I have literally

  502. preached the word of God. If the word of God does stop fascinate you,

  503. if billing up to a pot of man or does not fascinate you,

  504. if the word of God, the commandments of God are grievous, and you

  505. know what, I bailing it up to a part of manna. And you

  506. don't like preachers like this from God? Since the preacher by your way and

  507. he drops handfuls a purpose in your hand. Oh come on now, I'm

  508. trying to give something about it, a handful of purpose out of this part

  509. of manner right here tonight they were handfuls on purpose. So you gotta win

  510. me right here. I'm talking about preaching that gender, so not emotion early

  511. for the power of called. Somebody said, and has got the pot out.

  512. There's something else in that ark of the covenant, God than your head,

  513. and it's the rod of air. And the birds say, you know

  514. what that's indicative? I asked God over you today, I said, what

  515. home? This haven't represented? He? I didn't read the word say on

  516. a commentator, Hey, I talked to the Holy in Gustor. He said,

  517. he that's a profitable ministry with profitable leadership, that profitable edification and profitabes

  518. and such a It is a punning and a preating and a thriving and a

  519. confitable ministry. I tell him you, God, well I have that church.

  520. POSI if the church is running three or four, and they've been running

  521. three or four, and I see it as an evanslist, they're running seven

  522. or eight and they've been running that for ten years, and they got three

  523. or four and an to three or four and us no more mentality. I'm

  524. gonna tell you something. I'd rather raise my children in a pub than in

  525. a club like death. There's something bad room. There's something really bad room

  526. with a wound of that local assembly. There's a dead womb in there somewhere.

  527. There's no way life is being supported. Aaron's rod is supposed to be

  528. dead. There's supposed to be a message of death. Yes, somebody said

  529. there taking the blood out of our hymnals or song books they wor some songs.

  530. Now, rather stare it because they said it's a bloody religion. It's

  531. still more bloody than is longlist or come on now, there's power in the

  532. blood. I send this power either blood, and that's more than a rod

  533. that is dead. That cross represents a love that I want you to know.

  534. Every say, every am that is ever terifer has come out of that

  535. same c That is theoried in the crowd. I'm telling who in that path

  536. there is why what you're gonna lose? The things by going there? Really,

  537. what am I gonna lose? Heart ache? Torah, confusion? And

  538. so we're looking for the spirit of God. Who're looking for the ark of

  539. God and the signs. Inside of the side is the tables of the Law,

  540. and secondly a pot of manner. And thirdly we're gonna be looking for

  541. that arc. This guy Aaron's broad that's a bad There's a Bible believing in

  542. church. There's handfuls on purpose. There's a Bible believing in church. There's

  543. handfuls on purpose. And then there is a preacher's ministry that is flourishing,

  544. buddy, blooming miraculously, blooming miraculously and blooming miraculously. You know what you

  545. gotta do when you see that, you gotta get up and get after it.

  546. You gotta move from your place and to his places. Anybody in this

  547. place right here tonight, you know, Jesus and John chapter number five.

  548. He had appeared to that man that had been laying every seventh day and all

  549. the other days for the week. I could pull are called Solomon's there,

  550. but there's with his five porches and non Nathaniel. He had laid there long

  551. enough, and for thirty eight years he had waited on a troubling a serving

  552. of a specific for him, a message that was specifically for him. Best

  553. people in this building that are here today because I'm a message. I'm a

  554. service specifically for them, and to knock days best to take. You will

  555. come back home and listen to this and say, that was the night that

  556. God spoke to me directly. If you're willing to hear from him, if

  557. you're willing to take action, that man had been in that condition thirty eight

  558. years. Whether Jesse, would you come to the piano police thirty eight years?

  559. He's impotent, lame? In other words, he's an invalid. He's

  560. an invalid. When are we gonna get tired of hanging around where there's all

  561. manner of diseases spiritually? I remember when I told Sister Howell, we have

  562. got to get to a place where we do not lose our children through spiritual

  563. illnesses and diseases. And I know we all flatter ourselves by sin. We

  564. could have handled it, We would have made it. But I am convinced

  565. that a lot of us would not have made it either if we had not

  566. have made the move. We blame it all. We needed to move because

  567. of our children. But let's all be honest. We weren't spiritual giants,

  568. and we professed to be today, and we escaped by the skin of our

  569. teeth, our feet had now slipped. We had almost fallen. And then

  570. came that good report. Truly God had delivered this into our head. We

  571. stood up. We went to the altar. That night. We responded and

  572. said, Lord, when the spirit gets ready, I've got to move,

  573. which you stand up with me here tonight as we could bring he seek the

  574. face of the Lord. Jesus spoke to this invalid. He said, I

  575. know you've been here for thirty eight years, and he said, would you

  576. be made hold? And this man immediately begins to give excuses. Brother Jonathan,

  577. He said, I need somebody to carry me. I need somebody to

  578. take me. Let me tell you how you get from your place to his

  579. place the same way I did it today at five forty pm. I'm sorry,

  580. at four or forty pm, I walked outside and got in that expedition.

  581. I put it in reverse, and I drove from my place to his

  582. place. I left my house to his house. I can I feel like

  583. God is speaking to some right here in this building tonight. And Jesus heard

  584. that man say I have nobody else to carry me. Jesus wanted to know,

  585. are you willing to carry herself to where the will of God is.

  586. Are you willing to bring yourself and your family and where God can help them?

  587. Are you willing to take them from that place to this place? Because

  588. when he gets right down to it, every man better seek out his old

  589. salvation with fear and trembling. Are y'all getting this? And then Jesus said,

  590. it's our code text. He told that man, you need to get

  591. up, brother Jeremiah. He said, rise up, take up thy bed,

  592. and walk away, Brother e j I was asking God to do.

  593. What does that mean? I've never heard a preach or talk about this.

  594. He didn't want that man to take that bed back to that same spot,

  595. because that's all he ever knew his home. There are people that are going

  596. to die in churches that claim to be houses of God. They have long

  597. been since died spirit, but they are going to die physically in a place

  598. where God said, that wasn't me walking up and down. That wasn't me.

  599. That was an impostor get up, arise, take up thy bed,

  600. and go says to Hell. And I maybe seventeen years ago now, we

  601. went to the pastor and we said, we love you, we don't want

  602. to argue, all we can tell you is God spoke to us. We

  603. don't understand it. He spoke to us and said go to LaBelle. We

  604. cried, He cried. She resigned her Sunday school class. I resigned as

  605. being one of his right hand men. I resigned as being the one that

  606. took care of the church. When a man dropped dead. He looked at

  607. me and said, run the service. I resigned as one that led to

  608. see it. And brother Ethan, we went from that place to this place,

  609. and here we are tonight, and I'm thankful for it. What will

  610. it be? Your place or his place? Can you see it that God

  611. is speaking to you. This is a servant specific for you. But you

  612. say, preacher, I've been here for thirty eight years, what are you

  613. waiting for? Well, preacher, we've wanted in the wilderness for forty years.

  614. What are you waiting on? Well, I've been going here. I've

  615. been a deacon of, an assistant pastor of, and a tea What are

  616. you waiting on? No more excuses? Rise up, take up your bit

  617. and find a new house. Joshua was three and three. Get up and

  618. get after. Can we bow our heads right here tonight? I have delivered

  619. the burden of my soul. Is that wedding music that you hear, Are

  620. those wedding bands that you hear ringing in your ears? Is that the promised

  621. land that you see? Get up and get after. You don't miss that

  622. opportunity to you. Ken said it was not a possibility. Too had said

  623. it is a possibility. But tonight the Holy Ghost is saying, truly,

  624. God has delivered this hand just land into your hand. You're gonna fit in.

  625. It belongs to you. You're gonna fit perfectly. You know why,

  626. because it's home. It's home. And until then you'll stand on the banks

  627. of Jordan and you'll long for it, you'll hate for it. If you're

  628. here tonight and the Holy Ghost is spoke to you, and you know it's

  629. time for you to get after, raise your hand. It's time for me

  630. to get after. One, two, three, four, five, six,

  631. seven, eight, nine, ten. Let's all find a place to

  632. kneel and pray. It's gonna be a time of searching our hearts. It's

  633. gonna be a time of saying, God, I want true will, not

  634. my will, to be done for paramy, Lord, for the promised Land,

  635. for parrady for parade. Where the spirit of God is, there's liberty,

  636. because the Lord is that spirit. And where the spirit of the Lord

  637. is, there is liberty. Wilt thou be made hold? Jesus said first.

  638. Next, when given an opportunity to speak, he said, rise,

  639. take up thy bed and walk. You're gonna have to walk right out of

  640. that circumstance and situation into the promised way, walk right out of it,

  641. walk right. How speak to me, Lord, Speak to me, Lord,

  642. the howl starting sin you want anything? Brother? How is preaching on

  643. you what God told him to preach? Let God be true and every man

  644. moving from the bats to sta sweet Lord b Harty stating, don't do Lord,
