  1. Troubles with you? Will you turn with me to first Peter mad Director attention

  2. to the second chapter, verse number one, Verse Peter chapter number two and

  3. verse number one. Brother Nathaniel James, Chapter number three, verse number eight.

  4. Brother Jesse Matthew, Chapter number twelve versus number thirty four and thirty five.

  5. How many of you are looking forward to having some breakfast in the fellowship

  6. Paul tonight after church? I don't understand why it is, but most of

  7. the time breakfast taste better when you're eating it backwards, when you're eating at

  8. night instead of in the morning. Why is that? But I've also had

  9. steak in the morning before instead of for dinner in the waffle house and at

  10. stake, Brother Nathaniel, would you read James Chapter number three, verse number

  11. eight. But the tongue can no man tame? It is an unruly evil

  12. full of deadly poison. How many of y'all believe that that the tongue is

  13. hard to take? All? Right? Brother Jesse Matthew, Chapter number twelve,

  14. Verses thirty four and thirty five. Well, generation of vipers? How

  15. can ye, being evil speak good things? For? Out of the abundance

  16. of the heart, the mouth speaketh a good man out of the good treasure

  17. of the heart, bringeth forth good things, and an evil man, out

  18. of the evil treasure, bring it forth evil things. So Jesus looked upon

  19. the people of that present generation and called them an ugly name, vipers.

  20. I believe he had in mind the forking tongue in the mouth of a viper.

  21. Let's stand for the reading of our text tonight, out of the utmost

  22. reverence to the divine, elaborate aria and chosen texts before us, tonight,

  23. our golden text First Peter, chapter number two, verse number one. Wherefore,

  24. laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies and envies,

  25. and all evil speakings, say the last three words with me, all evil

  26. speakings, what are you to do with that? Laying them aside? Heavenly

  27. Father, we love it, We praise you, We thank you for the

  28. opportunity to be in the house of the Lord God. I know that I've

  29. been sick, filled a little under the weather. My voice has given me

  30. problems, But I pray that you would help me tonight to be able to

  31. deliver this message. I'm not normally horse, I don't normally have any problem

  32. with my voice. I need your help desperately to preach what you would put

  33. upon my heart. Set a guard at my mouth, help me to say

  34. the things you have me to say, nothing more or less, and not

  35. the ears of this not people that they might hear what the spirits say at

  36. under the Church's God allowing them to go below the shoulders to bless the words

  37. of this book. May they take it into their heart and not be hears

  38. only, but heed these words. We pray. I pray that we would

  39. depart this place jorfully and not sorfly, and bless the biscuits in Jesus's name.

  40. Amen, as you're being seated, I want all of you that have

  41. a sibling in the house to pick up your hand because you raise your head.

  42. You have a sibling in the house, whether that's a spiritual sibling or

  43. a natural sibling. I want to ask you a question. And then after

  44. I ask you this question, I want you to point at the person that

  45. as guilty as charge. Husbands and wives you could point at one another.

  46. Siblings you can point at one another, But who is the motor mouth in

  47. your family? Instantly we have cross fire friendly fire. I see brother Christian

  48. pointing at Brother Titus. I see Brother Caleb before he even finished speaking,

  49. was pointing at Brother Ethan. And I want to take my hand and raise

  50. it up and put every finger down but my index finger and pointed my baby

  51. boy, brother Philip, and say, that is the motor mouth of the

  52. Howell family. I want to preach to us tonight a sermon the Holy Ghost

  53. has titled motor mouths. Again, I want to preach to us a sermon

  54. the Holy Ghost has titled motor mouth. Now. I did not pull the

  55. archives of the sermon that I preached, and it is on the record put

  56. a socket. I did not pull the outline. I did not look at

  57. my note. So this is another dinner from scratch. Our text is found

  58. in a New Testament book of the Holy Bible. The title bears the name

  59. of its author. The commercial fisherman turned a fisher of men wasn't hesitant at

  60. all to identify as a Christian or a follower of Christ. This man who

  61. wants denied knowing Christ, identified himself quickly in this epistle as the apostle of

  62. Jesus Christ. Peter was not concerned about the world's view of Christianity at this

  63. time in history. In fact, prior to this, Peter had denied a

  64. Christ, he would have easily forsaken Christ and anything involved Christianity and an earlier

  65. part of his life, had Jesus not prayed for him. You will remember

  66. that Jesus pointed at motor mouth Peter, and he said, I have prayed

  67. for you that your faith fell not or how I wish my voice would cooperate

  68. with us tonight. I've been excited about preaching that you all ever since I

  69. walk out of my office. But I don't know that I'll be able to

  70. hold up very long due to physical sickness. But it is burning in my

  71. heart like a fire. So a little while ago, some of y'all pointed

  72. at your spiritual or natural brothers and sisters and identified them as the motor mouse

  73. of your family. You could talk to Brother Howard, Brother Rule cap Actor

  74. Church tonight and we could produce or fabricate a list of the motor mouse of

  75. the Bethel Holiness Church. Anybody that knows Brother Howard knows that I am a

  76. man of few words. Outside of the poolpit. Brother Chris has been on

  77. vacation with me multiple times. And he would say, Brother Howard, of

  78. all other things, is a listener, and that's what makes him a great

  79. communicator. Do you know a lot of people have a problem with people accepting

  80. them regarding friendship or relationship because they never allow somebody else to talk. You'll

  81. find us sometimes among the apostles of Jesus Christ, namely the twelve chosen followers

  82. that decided to follow him for three and a half years. They were with

  83. him as he labored and ministered, and motor mouth, Peter would have been

  84. the one identified as the one that was quick to speak. You know,

  85. the Bible said that we should be slow to speak. Of the Bible spoke

  86. that also we should learn in silence. The will say that those as sitting

  87. silence sometimes are perceived to be wise. We know that as soon as that

  88. person opens their mouth, we realize they're not nearly as wise as we perceived

  89. them to be. So. Young people, sometimes when you're in the presence

  90. if not all times, when you're in the presence of your pastor or assisted

  91. pastor, deacon's elders, church leaders, you should listen to what they have

  92. to say. I feel like Peter had taken notice that he had been with

  93. Jesus and had taken notice that Jesus was a man of a few words.

  94. You see, you find that Peter addressed these new believers, that he addressed

  95. us a pistle to as aliens. If you study this epistle you will see

  96. them. He recognized them to be outstanding citizens within society of that day.

  97. They were identifiable as Christians, yes, but they were also outsiders in this

  98. world, and they could be labeled aliens. They were labeled like this because

  99. of their manner of life, their code of conduct, their conversation. Something

  100. happened to them, brother Nathaniel, radical changes took place in their life.

  101. And even though they were members of the same family, even though they were

  102. employed by the same employers and went to the same city hall, went to

  103. the same judge, somehow these people were different. They're considered to be foreigners

  104. or strangers. So I know the Bible said that a fitty man be in

  105. Christ. He is a new creature of things that passed away. Behold,

  106. all things have become new. How many of you know it's still true today

  107. that when somebody gets saved, that lose the cur sir. They stopped swearing,

  108. they stopped using the Lord God's name in vain. Come on now.

  109. I heard him man one time saying that he had got born again blood ball

  110. by the ruby red blood of Jesus. And he went to get a shower,

  111. and he slipped in the shower, and he began to curse himself and

  112. curse God. I said, my God, this parents in a holiness and

  113. a Pentecostal church. And he's standing up and said, identify her as a

  114. sinner. Home. But I got saved. I didn't not curse anymore.

  115. I did not swear he anymore. Come on now. The Bible said that

  116. there was a time when Peter being approached by a young maid when she asked

  117. him or Hugh warning that walks with Jesus, and Peter denied of the Lord.

  118. I've heard preachers say that he threw out some obscenities. Said then he

  119. threw out a three year poor letter cuss bird, that is, to take

  120. the Bible and to throw it in the trash. Peter didn't not to take

  121. his learner through the transport. He got to extremely religious and he said,

  122. I'm telling you, I do not know the man. I've never associated with

  123. the man, haven't knows it. And if I'm lying here, I'm dying.

  124. You See, Peter didn't not cuss like a sailor that day. Peter

  125. tried to be a religious to day. I'm telling you some of the most

  126. religious people in this world they deceived themselves. And you can identify the ad

  127. by the words of their mouth. You listen to what they're saying, and

  128. you can tell he do not love Jesus. Peter, I prayed for you.

  129. That's your faith fail not Peter, you shadowed me. Peter. It's

  130. apparent to all of the readers of this epistle that something happened to you,

  131. and he could say, yes. Jesus was the perfect model of how a

  132. Christian, a follower of Christ, one that is supposedly like Christ, is

  133. supposed to be. We cannot find when Christ was being beaten beyond recognition that

  134. he shut off at the mouth. We cannot find it when he was being

  135. led as a lamp to the slaughter, where he shut off at the mouth,

  136. where he heard obscenities of vulgarities at his persecutors or the opposition. Tho

  137. the Bible said that that man Jesus Christ, he stood there in total silence

  138. and never uttered a word. I want to talk to the bethal Harness Church

  139. here tonight and tell you that sometimes you say it best when you say nothing

  140. at all. Every question does not deserved, but answer every situation does not

  141. mean you need to get on a sun boxer and talk. Somebody said,

  142. my brother Howell, when he's healthy and well, when his forces stopped leaving

  143. her, he can preach from sixty to eighty minutes strong. Yeah, but

  144. I dare you to try to seek an opportunity to find me outside of the

  145. church when I will talking you hear for one hour full the gimmer chamber,

  146. Charle Flappert and charge jacket. I'm on now, I'm telling love you bide

  147. yourself being a murdered mouth. You need to shut up, listen to yourself,

  148. Listen to yourself. When I was a child, I heard this expression

  149. often. If you can't say anything good about somebody, finish it when we

  150. preach to it. Don't let me get on miss by myself. I heard

  151. it when I was a child often. You never hear it today. If

  152. you can't say anything good about somebody, don't say anything at all. I

  153. remember hearing the story told by a preacher some years ago she said that there

  154. was this man. He felt it was his life calling to pick on this

  155. woman in the cafeteria named Miss Rosa, and he would talk about her to

  156. everybody that comes through the cafeteria. He would talk about Miss Rosa. Find

  157. me. One day he called her a pig, and she found out about

  158. it and went over there and listened to him until she heard him say it

  159. to himself. After she heard him call her a pig, she hired a

  160. lawyer and she sued this man for declamation of character and she won. Now

  161. and I want you to listen to this. That man stood up and he

  162. said, you mean, I'm guilty and you have find me, mister judge,

  163. for calling her a pig. And the judge said, yes, don't

  164. you ever call her a pig again. That's a piss of and that's hurtful

  165. and you're gonna pay a price for that. And the young man said,

  166. okay, yes, sir. He said, so I cannot call her a

  167. pig. And the judge said, that is right. You cannot call her

  168. a pig. He said, but cannot call a pig miss Rosa. And

  169. the judge said, of course you can't. He looked over there that is

  170. opponent and said, I'll see you later. Miss Rosa, you see what

  171. he was doing. Well, that went right over some of your heads.

  172. But he called her a pincer. Anyway. You know, while you're saying

  173. what you're saying, you know why heck you do what you're doing. How

  174. feel like Peter knew he had made some mistakes, but he got better.

  175. And he's the one that betrayed Jesus. He's the one that was the mother

  176. your mouth. But when he wrote to this Episo, he said, you

  177. need to lay aside all that he was taking. Lay aside it, just

  178. as we lay side every sin and the weights that does so easily. Was

  179. said, as if you did not get the miss Rosa and the pictch story,

  180. raise your hand. You need to go back and listen to that.

  181. If you did not get it, that man was wiser, and the judge

  182. the wiser than the lawyer. You can be as cunning as a serpent and

  183. as sneaky as a fox, and you can say something to somebody in the

  184. church house, and the preacher never knowing, the judge, never known,

  185. the lawyer, never know somebody in that church, never know what you're saying

  186. to that new Converse son, or that new Converse daughter, or that new

  187. Convert ardor again. But I'll want you to know that's somebody. Oh sneaky,

  188. there's somebody there talking to me, oh my bed at night. Could

  189. I tell you know what you gotta do. It's not saying nothing at all.

  190. Sometimes when people feel like they just have to say something, that is

  191. the best time to not say anything. Now my voice is knuckle opering,

  192. and I want y'all to know that. But the Bible said that Jesus,

  193. as a lamb, was led to the slaughter, and he opened not his

  194. mouth. There are a lot of people today that are carrying something called a

  195. vendetta. I looked at up this afternoon and I said, what exactly is

  196. of vendetta? And according to the dictionary, it is a blood feud.

  197. Now you could preach tract there own a blood feud. The spiritual warfare that's

  198. been going on against Calvary ever since I was bloodshed erroneously as the sacrificial lamb

  199. was killed. Hey, I'm telling you right here, right now, Jesus

  200. Christ did not deserve the verbal lace racers that it received. He did not

  201. agree to deserve. But the mocking of his own people that it received.

  202. He did not deserve the slandering had he received the black body the classipher.

  203. But what about this thing called a bandetta. Somebody can have a bandetta in

  204. their heart against somebody and they can pass it on to the next generation.

  205. The hat fields of the McCoys, they did that for a long time.

  206. When I first come down, her sister whoomed. Sister Lucresia took me to

  207. the side and she said, Jeremy, prior of your arrival, there was

  208. a man that called himself a holiness preacher, I believe. She said,

  209. he's a wonness man, and he's a world wide preacher, renowned. She

  210. said, but it came through this area and he heard a lot of people.

  211. He did more harm than he did good. And she set the people

  212. of this area have a bandetta against him and all holiness people because of one

  213. God named David Terrell. And I found it to be true. When I

  214. first begin to labor in this spear, there were a lot of people that

  215. took things out on me because the name holding us was over church sider.

  216. They associated me with somebody that was After their five months fire me, I

  217. came to the boo bed, and I preached a sermon title my name is

  218. not to David Terrell, and I want you to know here to night,

  219. and there are some things you could do that saying and recalled irreparable damna.

  220. A motor mouth is somebody that just talks incessantly or excessively. You sit down

  221. in the fellowship hall across from your pastor. At thirty five minutes later,

  222. nobody else has set a word. By this time, sister team, he's

  223. blown smoke out of nostrils. By this time, sister how's abandoned, and

  224. the pastor and said, I'm leaving him with you. Take one for the

  225. team, sucker. And I sit there and I say, my god,

  226. I was somebody's husband or I was somebody's wife, would teach them or tell

  227. them to listen to that servant I preached home, put a soft edge.

  228. Better to thank you. I want you to hand every man told him like

  229. they throw them rolls at Lambert's cafe, swore every man in this household that

  230. is the head of his house a pair of socks and made that man have

  231. enough holding goes comes in and enough with morning to tell their wife. And

  232. they cheering it when they talking exist of it and run him off back to

  233. Martha and telled him I said, sure, huh, because the truth is

  234. there's other people that need to put their two SIPs in. And when you

  235. realize you have been talking for twenty minutes and you ignore the stop side.

  236. If you're run stop sides, I won't talk this morning with what all on

  237. my heart. I wanted to preach on running stop sides. When people get

  238. frustrated with your we'll never get agitated with you. You need to stop running

  239. to stop side stop. They will say. They will change the subject and

  240. say, please, I need a breather, please. The pastor needs some

  241. peace, please. They're supposed to be peace to the righteous. The wicked

  242. do not know any peace. But it should never be that any person in

  243. the house of God has to hide from a peter. It should be that

  244. nobody ever has to walk around the church in order to a board a conversation.

  245. Who is is? I know your lonely here in the week, and

  246. I know you won't have conversation me Jesus. But if you have more conversation

  247. he had, you won't couple of church God conversation. I know people won't

  248. carry on a conversation with their own kids. Won't counsel them, won't talk

  249. to them, won't tell them that you hear what the pastor said to that

  250. if you don't shut up, you don't lose your job. I wish my

  251. voice would co operate where I can really keep this up. But Peter said,

  252. he said, right now, because of the conversion that you all have

  253. experience, I'm gonna call you aliens, people from another planet, people of

  254. different conversation, people of different character. Oh, come on, there is

  255. no way on any geographic location, in this life or the afterlife, that

  256. anybody has had it as bad as Jesus that we would have to shoot up

  257. after bath when he was deep beyond recognition. I don't care how bad you

  258. had it before you got here, but one thing for sure, if you

  259. left the church, you'd being told to spare and stowing upset. I mean,

  260. I would put a black veil hold our relationship, with our conversation.

  261. I want you leaving my company, that my presence flowing no Client nine.

  262. I want you to thinking are good things, things that are lovely come to

  263. the pl If you had it so bad them, then why the blood did

  264. you stay as long as it did. We can't have a vendetta. We

  265. can't bury the hatchet. And I'm not telling anybody to bake their enemy okay

  266. tomorrow, although Jesus did say it. In doing so, you know,

  267. he calls a fire upon their head, but it did not say you had

  268. to be in a conversation with them and add fuel to that blood feud that

  269. you've been having. You see, when there's a blood feud, the family

  270. of a murdered person seeks vengeance on the murderer, you know, the one

  271. that's been murdered. They try to go kill the murderer. And I sometimes

  272. hear parents talking about all kinds of things that happened to them before that guy

  273. in the will of God, before the God in a unified congregation, and

  274. they talk about things that happened to them, and they, backed by the

  275. Bible, said, you devour one another. And the only thing we do

  276. is we our cock do it, and we channel the dearness to our children.

  277. Your children don't need to be stung by that steamer a bitterness, and

  278. your children don't need to hear about her how bad we had it. To

  279. our hope to God that my grandchildren never know how about some of us had

  280. it? Ah motherbous. You know what happens when we repeat it and we

  281. recite it and we rehearse it. It gets down and their baby's hearts and

  282. they experience emotions and they develop feelings. Now there's some of you gonna hit

  283. the override button on what I'm preaching, and until night, you're gonna find

  284. yourself talking for more than two or three minutes, or maybe more than five,

  285. and you're gonna realize everybody's sitting around and he's doing this ha ha.

  286. And if you're not careful because you want to be hurt, you will run

  287. the stuff side. I want you to know you're gonna be the times of

  288. to day. You're gonna be the one that is cursed to in the minds

  289. of people, because nobody appreciates a mad and concla And that's what Peter was

  290. dealing with her in this epistle. He was dealing with people that talked excessively.

  291. I don't believe it, do you. I asked God to give me

  292. enough voice and a little more motor mouth ability tonight. I get sick of

  293. people retaliating and being vengeful and taking out hostile acts against people. I'm telling

  294. you we should be forgiving, We should be all as suffer. It grees

  295. me when one group does everything they can to harm another group. I know

  296. a preachers that will call another preacher to preach for them only so they can

  297. mark somebody's reputation, only so they can put to a blind in that friendship,

  298. and calls that minister to lose confidence in that other minister because on the

  299. spirit of jealousy, on the spirit of envy. If you look at our

  300. golden text here tonight, you will see that apostle Peter knows that these people

  301. have been born to kim. They saying you've got to be safetified, and

  302. your mouth needs to be safetified. And there's some things in that versing listing

  303. laying aside all malice. What's the second one right there, Gile, what's

  304. the third one? You see hypocrisies and envies and evil speakings. It is

  305. easy for us to talk about the shortcomings and the hypocrisies of others. It's

  306. easy for us to preach sermons and the fellowship Paul or over breakfast, lunch

  307. and dinner, or the people at the office about the shortcomings of the hypocrisies

  308. of others that I want you to focus on this last statement here, all

  309. evil speakings, could you say that with me, all evil cheeking? The

  310. brother of Jesus Change, so he was a half a brother. And in

  311. the third chapter of the Book of Change he said, but the tongue can

  312. not maintain, but it is an unruly, evil fool, a deadly poison.

  313. I feel like Change, like Peter, had failed in that department concerning

  314. the tongue. That's why he could preach her so well about the tope.

  315. But I wonder how many times when he did not believe Jesus was the Christ,

  316. and he didn't at one time. I wonder if he mocked him.

  317. I wonder what it said about his brother. But now James has said,

  318. be careful, what's she say with that tongue. One precious sweet woman one

  319. time told her husband, she said, your tongue doth cut lock a razor.

  320. He was just quick to speak and say things, and dinner was served

  321. and it was a season just right for the palate. Quickly, without any

  322. hesitation, he was saying, this is terrible, and yes it's truth.

  323. She should have had better control of her emotions and ran into the bedroom and

  324. closed the door in front of the kids. That a house was headed for

  325. a fall unless Daddy learned how to control his tongue. I feel the preacher

  326. right there, that was the breath of God that just blew down this sweats

  327. so to body. I want you to know that when you go to the

  328. doctor, a lot of times the doctor says, stick out that tongue.

  329. I'm trying to be sweet. I love everybody in this building, and God

  330. kept me awake during the night talking about you running stop size concerning your mouth.

  331. I want to be everybody's friend. And he didn't exactly tell me how

  332. many of us are guilty of this, But I know assure as I be

  333. a man of God, and I speak of the fool as somebody is guilty

  334. of this. But brother Tyler, if you go to the doctor, you

  335. better hesitate just a little bit. Whenever he says, Tyler, Jean,

  336. wouldn't open your mouth, because when you knew that big old long tone,

  337. you guys gonna roll out. It's gonna hit the floord and roll right out

  338. the door of the doctor's office. Whether Ralph Coox said one time concerning a

  339. wooman in his church, he said, I would ask her to bring her

  340. tongue to the altar, whether gable, but he said that eighteen feet long

  341. altar is not long enough for her. Tom. You know the Bible said

  342. that death and life are in the power out the tom. Oh, yes,

  343. come on now, somebody can have a wonderful night or somebody can have

  344. a horrible not because the words that have been spoken out of your mouth.

  345. God help me here one night. I want you to know you can't shut

  346. it up. Do y'all believe that I was supposed to shout over this one

  347. and my brother camele. But Jesus done the same thing in Matthew, chapter

  348. number twelve and verse number thirty four. He looks out there and it's not

  349. just one or two, it's not just wanted to. Hey, when you

  350. find yourself in any type of social atmosphere and you start getting jealous because somebody's

  351. talking to the pastor or Brother Gabriel and you know they won't shut up,

  352. but you just find yourself getting jealous and you start taking pot shots. You

  353. got you also as well have to ask God, say God, let me

  354. not have the forking tongue of a viper. I realize they're a venomous viper.

  355. But I cannot be a venomous viper. Two wrongs do not make a

  356. night, Jesus said, old generation of vipers, How can you mean evil

  357. speak good things for out of the buttness of the heart the mouth, speak

  358. of the good man, out of the good treasure of his heart, Bring

  359. it forth good things in an evil man, out of an evil treasures,

  360. bring it forth evil things. Is that not what our text said, Brother

  361. Daddy, all evil speakers, and Jesus as said, if you got that

  362. pet data in your heart, you're not a speaker. If you're in the

  363. middle of a plot, few it's gonna show up. How to talk about

  364. it? Look at our text again, look at the bottom there and all

  365. evil speakings, which includes back body. We need to have breakfast. Someone

  366. cut this short. Slandering some more gossiping, evil surmisings, and then speaking

  367. whatever you thought in your mind just because you think it does not make it.

  368. So. I've heard somebody speak before concerning somebody, and they were so

  369. sure that that person was this or that, and they told it to me

  370. God arnest truth, and I asked them to priv in the details. I

  371. asked them to present the facts to me, and after further evaluation, brother

  372. gave her they were belied or there are masons that they were relying on their

  373. fearings and after cusins that seeing it, this person must be a heathen curliness.

  374. Person must be this or that person was never such a thing. I've

  375. heard them before, say, did you know brother Ethan has a crush on

  376. sister Sabrina that used to come here and see what Wait a minute, where'd

  377. you get that problem? Huh? It ran through your mind and you dwelled

  378. on it till you thought it was true. You surmised it, oh,

  379. come on, now, till you dreamed about it. And then I tell

  380. you dreamed about it. It was from God that it was really going on.

  381. I tell you, most people that assume horrible things about most people are

  382. the very culprits concerning that certain thing. I need to move on right here.

  383. So, the tongue of a viper's forked, it's divided. The mouth

  384. of a venomous viper has a forked tongue, and it has fangs that are

  385. full of poison. I had somebody one time pray for my sister. How

  386. I had somebody one time to come up to me at the church, and

  387. I had talked about costly goods and costly array, how we don't need to

  388. wear things and draw attention to ourselves, that we should be modest in our

  389. appearance. I know that we should dress sharp and be pretty nancy for the

  390. most part, and take good care of ourselves and comb our hair if we

  391. have any right. But I was preaching against costly things, and this young

  392. sister come up to me and said, God has convicted me about those men

  393. that wear Tommy He'll figure suits. And I thought about that, Brother Nathaniel,

  394. and I prayed about it, and I was so thankful Brother Chris Burnett,

  395. that I was a man that had learned to be slow to speak,

  396. and that I didn't mount the pool kid preaching against Tommy Hill figure suits.

  397. And the reason why number one, I had two in the closet myself.

  398. And also, as I was praying about what she had brought to my attention,

  399. I realized that her eyes had been on that other men in that church

  400. so much. As she knew her husband did not have a Tommy Hill Figures

  401. suit, but she had watched that man so much he had a Tommy hilfigure

  402. suit. Now, listen to young preachers. Every time somebody points at a

  403. rabbit trail and says, hard time you don't go down that rabbit trail.

  404. Everby time somebody talks to you after church about something this father in them,

  405. you know what your piete to that rabbit trail or panther. What if I

  406. had got up there, brother, I'm trying to remember my new brother's name.

  407. What's his name? Brother? Just to help with that kid wearing the

  408. cross? Huh, Harry Good? You imagine me, brother, Harry,

  409. if I hadn't gotten the pool good and priests against Tommy Hill figgers suits and

  410. ripped out, and then I'd have went home and opened up my calls that

  411. she might have even been talking about me. What about it? When they

  412. come to you and they say, preach against them high heels, and then

  413. you get up there and you shred them high heels from one into the other.

  414. And then you realize when you praying all that heels. They don't look

  415. good in high heels. They can't walk good in high heels. They walk

  416. goofy and high. Oh my god, they have come on now, and

  417. so they've talked to you about that sister, and they act like they got

  418. convicted. They act like God convicted them about it, And before you know

  419. it, you're preaching something that you've never even prayed through in your heart.

  420. I'll come on now, I've walt them high heels and say high they make

  421. your hips sweat. Somebody to look at you. Of course you gotta reconsider

  422. where now. But I'm telling you hire tonight. Just because somebody speaks it.

  423. Let's not mean us to receive it. Preachect Oh God in Heaven,

  424. I ask you, am Brother Samuel, to give me about twenty minutes of

  425. good wind. But the saying has been sticks and stones may break my bones,

  426. but words will never hurt me. That is a lie from Hell.

  427. Words hurt us when they come to you, brother Samuel, and they tell

  428. you, I want you to preach against them expensive purses, and you fall

  429. for it. You start shrinding them expensive purses. They won't tell you the

  430. name brand of that expensive person. Somebody just walked into build it, and

  431. you the pastor of the church, and you're this close to destroying somebody and

  432. preach us up somebody told you about they come up there. Sheepishly said,

  433. I got convicted of my nine dollars ninety nine, said Walmart's special purse.

  434. And they get you so worked up you'll preach against purses they know goodn't well.

  435. They're trying to set you up to come in with a heading maker and

  436. preach against that warming. I got a birthday present from somebody she loves dearly,

  437. and she is not worshiping that purse. She's not making it an otto

  438. under her south Falk. Come on now, I'm talking about that. All

  439. evil stupids have gone away from you. There's a lot of holding us preachers

  440. to a coastal preachers and love of the ministers of happiness touch us Catholic persons

  441. that I've hurt people because they did not pray about what was gonna be said.

  442. But I got pull pett Everybody that still loves pastor, raise your head,

  443. Oh my god, I love you. People slandering someone pastor? Did

  444. you hear this about this one? Pastor? Did you hear this about that

  445. one? Gossiping? Hey, did you know brother Nathaniel's got kinky hair because

  446. his grandma's black. I had people say that before Brother Chris. In fact,

  447. both of his grandma's are very fair completed and both of their grandpa's and

  448. both of his grandpa's are very fair completed. Hey, I don't even know

  449. how far it goes down for him to get that kinky hair. But people,

  450. when we come down here the little bell, they said, well,

  451. got too far down the family tree. I said, man, if it

  452. is, we sure don't know anything about it. But then after they saw

  453. that, they said, man, this guy his brother Howel's twitter And they

  454. look at the picture of me when I was at age, and I was

  455. just as dark skinned as he is. I was just as skinny then as

  456. he is. But sister han't because somebody thought he had to a god that

  457. key can curly her gone down the life for somebody else. They go around

  458. talking about it, and they go around preaching it. When I met us

  459. Blama, her hair was just about that curly natural day. Who said,

  460. why don't see it now? That's rightful, because you worked there then you

  461. didn't see it there, and it's knocked that way down. Everybody loved it.

  462. Pastor, I have no bee for qualms with anybody here. I do

  463. have a concern about a spirit that can get on us and crank our motor.

  464. Huh. And some when you find you this blah blah blah blah blah

  465. blah blah blah blah blah blah. It's like a Charlie Brown Christmas. Y'all

  466. remember Charlie Brown school teacher wan And when you talked so long, Brother e

  467. J, when they talk so long to you, I've watched you do it.

  468. I see Brother EJ's lips go to moving real fast, and he acts

  469. like he's chewing sunflower seeds. And then I see one eye go this way

  470. and the other eye go this way, and I realized EJ's already worked the

  471. next day, thinking about what he's got to do, and he's tuned out

  472. of that conversation and he's traveling it. Now, when you realize somebody has

  473. tuned you out, you ought to turn that eye for fail. I had

  474. to pretake a little bit to mystery and Jess more of Miles. Hey,

  475. the last thing anybody hitting this church, especially new people visitors, won't is

  476. somebody every time they turn around right here, Finally, Jesse runns get away.

  477. Jesse, Okay, now he thinks he's hidden but a stalker. I'm

  478. gonna ignore that. This brother is a man of God that would love to

  479. hear from me. I'm gonna ignore this sister is a good sister that would

  480. love to hear from me, But I've got to pass up seventy people to

  481. come right over here. And wah, and his sister Nata, says Pastor.

  482. And Pastor comes over there and he said, I say thank you,

  483. sister Nata, or the reprieve and the rest it and then all of him

  484. here he is, but the jesse Or here she is, passed up everybody

  485. and still just stalking. Hey, I want you to know right here,

  486. you got to sip it up if you're gonna be somebody and somebody that wants

  487. to have her around. Sometimes the very best of prints are content to sit

  488. there. Then one another's comping in saying nothing at all. I hate to

  489. use the lyricle from our country western song that I used to listen to long

  490. years ago, but it is true. Sometimes you say it best when you

  491. say nothing at I come on, I tell us somebody in this binding.

  492. I know you love us, I know you appreciate your church by day,

  493. but listen, I am not you're washing machine or brother gave Abel pray for

  494. me. Two guys the other night after these guys had preached good and exhorted,

  495. he had talked good about a person should be a person of one church.

  496. You hit that hard to Sunday morning as you go and something back.

  497. And when when you hit that, you struck a nerve with him. But

  498. it is the truth. It is and body. Sometimes you get around some

  499. of them people and they can tell you what's wrong with this person, what's

  500. wrong with this church, what's wrong with this standard today. I would never

  501. sit under a sucker that's going to preach a woman to hell for wearing flip

  502. clots, all by God and heave of God and get me a trouble,

  503. help me right here. But you get around him, guys evil speaking with

  504. evil minds, and before you know it, you're preaching in their ranks,

  505. and you're preaching their traditions of men, and you're hurting the feelings and you're

  506. confusing innocent minds. And then everybody's grieved, nobody's getting fat, and everybody's

  507. on everybody's hobby horse. It's just like Charlie Brown's teacher want w w huh

  508. sounding brass and a tinkling symbol. It's like when I go to listen to

  509. a preacher, preacher if he got studied the Bible and his sermon is not

  510. peppered with deep words of God. I'll just sit there and I hear want

  511. w W. And I get in the car and I asked this to how

  512. And I said, what did the pitiful, poor excuse for a preacher have

  513. to say tonight? And I don't want to leave anybody's presence or company and

  514. say, we had a two and a half hour long conversation and I have

  515. no idea what they said. Brother Caleb, You've never done that for me.

  516. When this guy comes to me and he says I need to talk to

  517. you about a special summer, I just go to cheese him because I don't

  518. realize I'm only a privileged to talk to him along these lines way a couple

  519. of times in his life, and I realized it's gonna be serious, it's

  520. gonna carry a lot of weight. It is a true pleasure to talk to

  521. him. And I love talking about technology. Brother Gabble said, don't get

  522. quiet on me to not talk. I love talking about guns and ammunition.

  523. And Brother Philip, ever since you got the Holy ghost Man, I'm telling

  524. you, there's been a suppressor on that machine. I have been amazed at

  525. what the Holy ghost can do, what no man can do, because I

  526. have found it. When you're talking just to talk, you're going to end

  527. up gossiping about the church up the road. You're going to end up being

  528. guilty of slander or backed by him. Leviticus, chapter number nineteen and verse

  529. number sixteen tells us that we should not go along as tail bearers among our

  530. people. So one of one of verse number five, the psalmist said,

  531. the person who slanders his neighboring secret will be destroyed by who. Let's shorten

  532. our conversation. Can we do that? Like I'm short of the sermon to

  533. night for biscuits. What if I authorized Brother Gabel to walk around with a

  534. pair of socks, and I think we need to dig out that message?

  535. How you put a socket it out of the archives and could listen to it

  536. because I had winded what's sick when I preached that? Yeah, that's another

  537. one I preach. Hey, you watch your mouth. So here's a new

  538. one tonight, motor mouse. What if I authorized Brother Gabriel and Brother Jesse

  539. every time somebody's got somebody hymned up and they're pulling a Charlie Brown school teacher

  540. moment on somebody in this building. What if I authorize those two guys to

  541. walk over there and hand somebody a pair of socks? You said, well,

  542. I'll get mad and lead the church. Thank you. If that's the

  543. answer, thank you, Thank you. Now. I think the reason why

  544. I'm preaching us tonight is because some of y'all have been praying. God sicked

  545. the little Holy Ghost bulldog on this silly rabbit. And now you're the innocent

  546. guys and girls that are sitting there wanting me be the bad guy because I

  547. know by the way God dealt with me during the night and the way he

  548. troubled my spirit. Concerning this message, there's some of you that have had

  549. it up to here. Well, Sister Crystal, just go ahead with it.

  550. So there's one right there that has probably praying God show him revealed us

  551. to him, and help him handle it. She's not ashamed of it.

  552. Anybody else that's not ashamed of it. You have put the Holy Ghost of

  553. Heaven on my trail. It's hunting me down, and set me in this

  554. direction. Raise you ahead, brother road Cap. Sister Cheryl, Sister Crystal

  555. sister Tamm and sister Howard liars. They they raise their hand and their liars

  556. Bible said Mark okay, So who else are honest? They would say,

  557. sister him, I'm wants to hamm and come home. Anybody else, Jesse,

  558. you better go on up to it. So man, it angers him

  559. so bad, It angers him so bad. Not when we're having healthy conversation.

  560. Y'all saw that Friday night. I was out there on the swing so

  561. laughing and talking. But if I'm talking about hunting, I don't want you

  562. talking about the gate or vocal bed. So a f you young men are

  563. all up here talking and somebody walks up and interrupts you, and you're talking

  564. about scuba diving, and they start talking about sharpening knips. I don't want

  565. all of y'all in perfect unison and harmon. He's so loud that everybody out

  566. in the back hears it. I want y'all to do that. Wa wah

  567. wa wah wah wah wah. Or Simmons Gabriel, they say, Gabriel give

  568. them to put a socket a warrior the motor mouth, a lord. So

  569. Peter got to the place when or a young girl could not excite him to

  570. the point where he just became a motor. Mouth his story and say that

  571. whenever Peter went to lose his life, they escorted him to the cross that

  572. he was to be hanged upon. They said it was in the shape of

  573. an X, and said when they went to put this hand up on this

  574. post, Peter said it, No, I am not worthy to be home

  575. as my master was home. You must hang me upside down. Something got

  576. ahold of him had not only changed his life, it changed his mouth.

  577. Somebody, not I, Jesus, not I, had prayed for Peter.

  578. Somebody not I, has prayed. Somebody in this building has prayed that you

  579. would shut up. Not I. I had the patience of Joe. I

  580. will sit there and after twenty five minutes, I will tune you out and

  581. I will catch my personal best lunker. I will be in an airboat on

  582. Lake Okeechobee. I will be harpooning gators, manatees and anything I can get

  583. my hands on. And you think I'm listening to you, and I'm doing

  584. everything but listening to you. I have become a master and heading naughty.

  585. It's quiet here. It shouldn't be funny. So there's a lot of guilty

  586. people, Brother Harry, so you can tell they're telling on theirself, Brother

  587. Harry. And unfortunately I'm the pastor, so I have to deal with stuff

  588. like this. But then I got some of y'all going out here in fire

  589. forests and going home and fasting and praying God. I'd like to have three

  590. minutes with a pastor. If Brother Aaron is sitting at the dinner table right

  591. here, and you couldn't get close to him, but you want to talk

  592. to him so bad that you talk over for five or six other people that's

  593. having their own conversations for twenty minutes. I'd say it to charismatic church,

  594. or in most churches where people are nearest of loving and kind, and forgiven

  595. that don't have Brother Jerma Howe as a pastor, you would be labeled a

  596. stalker and disrespectful. I mean, I couldn't imagine if I acted like that

  597. in the business to be Brother Chris. Could you imagine me come up every

  598. see you, we go into your big conference thing and talk the store more

  599. executives like I've done, and and just me and Brother Chris talking over everybody,

  600. hollering across the table after while, they say, you two guys think

  601. he'll big shots, don't you? Well, where's somebody here? Man?

  602. I'm digging deep, I'm digging a hole. Does everybody still love me as

  603. that goes this? Don't make it quick coming to church, because any other

  604. time I preach would love it. But I have to do this at least

  605. once a year. But just don't make me feel good. I won't be

  606. sleeping good tonight because somebody prayed me into this one. So if you prayed

  607. me into it, you ought to be shouting right now doing the hole he

  608. goes. I'll come back because I'm saying what you won't say. Now.

  609. The next time you're getting a little hissy fit and want to pounce torm out

  610. of the church, just walk over to that sal, tap her on the

  611. shoulder and say, listen, Sal stop jibber jabber and flapping them jaws or

  612. letting somebody else talk to this man, because you're just as guilty when you

  613. go home, when you back by you talked to get worked up about it,

  614. or when you go overre to somebody else then you start talking about it.

  615. You don't y'all love pastors how he's an equal opportunity guy. I learned

  616. years ago when that little tattle telling how a family comes and tells on everybody.

  617. I learned years ago to bust the fanny of the tattle tell because that

  618. well, we used to have a word in the streets snitches, and then

  619. we had an expression, snitches get stitches. Well, let me finish up

  620. so we can all go have some biscuits. Now, how are we supposed

  621. to even pray after this? How are we supposed to pray after this?

  622. Brother? Justin huh, let the Holy ghost help you on that one,

  623. pastor, so you're not gonna help me. I have seen women in church

  624. and men alike. They wouldn't say nothing in front of the church people,

  625. but as soon as they get in that car, so on their on their

  626. spouse like wild rice, laying aside, all evils speaking. Let's stand and

  627. we're gonna put a biscuit in it.
