  9. because I'm going to need you to read Malachi chapter

  10. number two, versus number four through seven in about ten minutes.

  11. Malachi chapter number two, verses number four through seven. Brother

  12. Nathaniel Acts, Chapter number five, verses number one and two,

  13. and Brother Jesse Matthew Chapter number five and verse number

  14. thirty nine. Amen, and beloved, if you would turn with me,

  15. let's turn to the book of Deuterotomy. May I direct

  16. your attention to the eighteenth chapter and the third verse.

  17. Brother Nathaniel Acts, Chapter number five, verses number one and two.

  18. My brother and a.

  19. Certain man named Ananias with Saphira his wife sold a

  20. possession and kept back part of the price. His wife,

  21. also being privy to it, and brought a certain part

  22. and laid it at the apostles feet, and brought a

  23. certain part and laid it at the apostle's feet. Well,

  24. where was the other part? Where was the remaining parts?

  25. Brother Jesse Matthew, Chapter number five, Verse number thirty nine,

  26. My brother, but I say unto you that ye resist

  27. not evil, but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right

  28. cheek turned to him to him the other.

  29. Also, amen, praise the Lord.

  30. Deuteronomy chapter number eighteen, reading verses number one through four,

  31. the Bible says the priest, the Levites and all the

  32. tribe of Levi shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel.

  33. They shall eat the offerings of the Lord made by

  34. fire and his inheritance. Therefore shall they have no inheritance

  35. among their brethren. The Lord is their inheritance, as he

  36. has said unto them. And this shall be the priest

  37. due from the people from them that offer a sacrifice,

  38. whether it be aux or sheep. And they shall give

  39. unto the Priest the shoulder and the two cheeks, and

  40. the mall, the first fruit, also of thy corn, of

  41. the wine, and of thine oil, and the first of

  42. the fleece of thy sheep. Shalt thou give him Verse

  43. number three will be our golden text. Tonight, and they

  44. shall give unto the priest the shoulder, and the two

  45. cheeks and the mall. May we pray, Heavenly Father, we

  46. love and we praise you. We thank you for the

  47. opportunity to be in your house tonight. I thank you

  48. for this thy people. I pray God, you would anoint

  49. them to have ears to hear what the spirit of

  50. God says. And to the church, would you annoying us, Lord,

  51. set a guard at our mouth, and help us to

  52. say the things you would have us to say, nothing

  53. more less anought the ears of this thy people, that

  54. they might hear what the Spirit of God says under

  55. the church. Let these sayings go below the shoulders, that

  56. them saturate the spirit of the heart, the mind, the body.

  57. I pray, Old God, let.

  58. Us speak your words, not our words, And may we

  59. depart this place joyfully and not sorrowfully, in Jesus' name

  60. in the church, said Amen, looking at the latter part

  61. of verse number three. Again, the Bible says, and they

  62. shall give unto the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks,

  63. and the ma all are the stomach. Our text is

  64. found in an Old Testament Book of the Holy Bible.

  65. The Book of Deuteronomy is a very interesting book. Within

  66. the chapters of this sacred writing, the reader can read

  67. some speeches or sermons that Pastor Moses, the Prince of

  68. preachers and pastors, gave the specially chosen and selected Israelites.

  69. God had chosen the Israelite people. They were His part

  70. upon the face of the earth. God had chosen and

  71. selected them for a very special place. And within the Israelites,

  72. there was another group of people that were chosen to

  73. occupy a very important and special place, and those people

  74. were known as the Levites. And even within the Levites,

  75. there was another special group of people that would occupy

  76. a very important place and position, and those were the

  77. descendants of Erin. They would take care of the priestly duties.

  78. But all of the children of God were blessed because

  79. they were chosen by God to stand out amongst the

  80. people of this world. And truly they stuck out like

  81. a sore thumb. And there's no doubt that among the Israelites,

  82. the Levites were respected and revered because they had been

  83. specially selected and chosen by God to be the ministers

  84. of the Lord God Almighty and to see to it

  85. that the tabernacle or God's House was well taken care of.

  86. Thank God that there was another group of people that

  87. God said, you know what, I'm gonna need somebody to

  88. offer these sacrificial offerings during these ceremonial seasons and times

  89. during these celebrations, even when these people come to make repentance.

  90. Unto me, there's got to be some special people that

  91. are chosen by Me to do what I've called them

  92. to do. And I appreciate the fact that you, as

  93. believers tonight stick out as a sore thumb does. Amongst

  94. the seven billion people in this world, there's no doubt

  95. many have been called and few have been chosen. I

  96. know that even amongst those that feel like they're the chosen,

  97. there are some people that seem to be more consecrated

  98. and committed to the things of God. I'm thankful for

  99. the ministers of the Gospel that began with the Apostles,

  100. and men like John the Baptist and the Great Apostle

  101. Paul that felt a heavenly call and a burden to

  102. do something amongst their fellow men, amongst them to minister,

  103. to preach passionately, to pray fervently, that God would send

  104. forth revival. And for generations there's been men that have

  105. stood up and said, you know what, I feel like

  106. I received a special call and commission from the Lord.

  107. It's a clarion call for commitment to ministerial service. So

  108. we know, brother Jesse, that Moses was a special person

  109. called by God, called out to be a witness, called

  110. out to be a servant, called out to be a

  111. leader of God's people. And Moses, like his sister mar

  112. they were levit. But their brother Aaron, God saw something

  113. in Erin, just like Moses had saw in their God

  114. knew that Moses was right when Moses said that Erin

  115. now he is of eloquent speech. That fellow right there

  116. can pull words out of his vocabulary. He can speak

  117. and just tickle the ears of men and women and

  118. boys and girls.

  119. And there's no.

  120. Doubt in my mind why God chose my big brother

  121. Aaron to be the founding member of the Royal Priesthood,

  122. Brother Jesse, the descendants of Erin would seek to it

  123. that those ceremonial sacrifices were offered in a timely manner.

  124. And I feel like there's people in this building that

  125. are prayer warriors, and they sense a need and an

  126. obligation to offer holy incense on the behalf of people

  127. in this building.

  128. And I thank.

  129. God for every prayer warrior that has found it to

  130. be their position in this church family to pray for

  131. the least and the lost and the lonely, and to

  132. pray for those people that are amongst us that are needy,

  133. even though they don't realize just how needy they are.

  134. They have set aside time within every day to pray

  135. that effectual, fervent prayer that avails much, and it has

  136. definitely yielded wonderful things for our beautiful church family. I

  137. wonder tonight if there's somebody in this building that's receiving

  138. a clarion call for ministry just to be a prayer warrior,

  139. or to be one of the church cleaners, or to

  140. work and to labor sight unseen, or to just be

  141. right out front, laboring and worshiping the Lord, or Brother

  142. Jesse's somewhere behind closed doors, just doing whatever God had

  143. told them to do. I don't know who, but I

  144. know that Moses felt like it was his responsibility to

  145. make sure that these Israelites learned the spiritual life. Lessons

  146. that were to be learned, and for some reason, there

  147. were those people in that congregation that numbered probably over

  148. a million people that it took them over forty years

  149. to master some of them life lessons that should have

  150. been mastered in a few moments of time. At the longest,

  151. they should have been mastered in a few months.

  152. You see, it's evident that.

  153. Right or wrong, Moses believed in these people. He didn't

  154. feel that he was wasting his time or breath always

  155. in every case, so he gave them some information and

  156. instructions to hold on to after his death. Now, if

  157. I'm not mistaken, after his death and his departure, there

  158. were some that felt like they did not have to

  159. continue on as he had instructed them to do. We

  160. know the New Testament writer said, if you forget those

  161. things that you have been taught, if you fail to

  162. do those things that you have been shown to do,

  163. if you build again those things that you once destroyed,

  164. you make yourself a transgressor if you allow these things

  165. that you have received to slip, you will drift away aimlessly.

  166. And so we know a lot of the Israelites in

  167. fact did drift away aimlessly, but not all men like

  168. Caleb and Joshua's a few others. Definitely the time spent

  169. when Moses was benefit to them. Hey, man, if I'm

  170. not mistaken, I saw a messianic prophecy. In the eighteenth

  171. chapter of the Book of Deuteronomy, Moses prophesied about the

  172. coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Also before his death

  173. and departure. Moses said, in order things concerned the levitical priesthood.

  174. To be specific, he believed that certain men and their

  175. families were called and chosen by the Lord to special

  176. service within the kingdom and the House of God. They

  177. were to be ministers of servitude, men of an excellent work, ethic,

  178. men that were committed, men that were dependable, men that

  179. were ethical, men that were logical, men that were reasonable,

  180. men that were available, men that would speak the truth

  181. with love.

  182. You see. Pastor Moses also warned the people.

  183. That there would be corruption in the congregation if they

  184. did not listen to his warnings, if they did not

  185. give heed to the things that he had warned them about.

  186. In fact, this corruption was going to be the Canaanites

  187. and other people of other nations would come in and

  188. penetrate the congregation. And they would lose their salvation or

  189. their deliberance or their promised land. You see, Moses was

  190. not an m and m a preacher, a something God

  191. gave me in a time of prayer this evening. Moses

  192. was not an m preacher. He was not a nix

  193. and mingle preacher. He knew that they were to come

  194. out from among the world and to be a separated people.

  195. He understood this when God called him as a son

  196. out of Egypt to prophetically, knowing that Jesus also would

  197. seek a refuge in Egypt, and that his father Joseph

  198. would carry him there. And we know that Joseph came

  199. out of Egypt bring him Jesus with him. Moses knew

  200. that the people of God are to live separated from

  201. this spirit of this world, earn to God. One of

  202. the main messages of spiritual leaders of yesteryear today and

  203. it will be the same in the future, is that

  204. the Christians do not.

  205. Believe in missionary dating.

  206. The juda Isers did not believe in missionary dating. They

  207. did not believe in being unequally yoked together.

  208. They did not feel like unbelievers and believers.

  209. Should be yoked together in holy matrimony. They felt like

  210. one would be pulling one way and another would be

  211. pulling in another direction.

  212. Firm Moses told them, you.

  213. Need to remove all of the Canaan natza from the

  214. Primised land. He knew there would be false prophets who

  215. would come in an attempt to mislead the Israelites as

  216. Paul did in the New Testament. Moses did to the

  217. congregation as Paul did to the New Testament.

  218. Church, and they warned.

  219. Their people about people coming in and corrupting the congregation.

  220. You see, truly, Pastor Moses and Pastor Paul had her

  221. congregations besting interest in mind. What pastor is there amongst

  222. the Christians today that would not have the lay people,

  223. the parishioners and best interest in mine. I'll tell you

  224. there's plenty of them that their BLD leaders allowing people

  225. to follow them badly or watching her and okay, while

  226. witnessing her people fall aimlessly into the ditch. Now you see,

  227. this man, Moses was one that spoke directly to the Levites,

  228. and he spoke directly to them concerning her consecration.

  229. Better aughtan you The one group he spoke.

  230. Concerning her ceremonial offering to another. He said, you're a leebie,

  231. and because you're a Leebyte, whether.

  232. Your own duty or off duty.

  233. This is how it's gonna always be to one group.

  234. He said.

  235. You can invest in some tribal property, you can even

  236. lease it and rent it, but you are obligated to

  237. live here where the lee Bytes live, and you are

  238. obligated to leave of the provisions of the other eleven

  239. tribes of Israel. You see immediately, we see that God

  240. is requiring that the loving tribes support the other trunk tribe.

  241. And I don't know why so many people today have

  242. a problem, just like some here did. We're bringing for

  243. the bust to the House of God. Why do so

  244. many people have a problem. We're doing what God said. Do.

  245. I want to preach a message the Holy Ghost titled

  246. do your part so God can do his. Heymen, it's

  247. been a little while since I preached, and I could

  248. tell it's been a little while since some of you

  249. prayed because of the way the atmosphere has been in

  250. here tonight.

  251. Ever since you start a church.

  252. I can tell some of you got down for ten

  253. minutes and you put on a show like you were doing.

  254. Your part to pray before church.

  255. But I didn't just fall off the watermelon her pumpkin

  256. truck yesterday. I remember them people of yesteryear who did

  257. their part as a prayer warrior. They got to church

  258. an hour early, and they prayed passionately, affectionately, and fervidly

  259. somewhere in a side room or out there peo from

  260. forty five minutes to fifteen minutes praying about the service.

  261. You ain't doing your part.

  262. You're doing as little as you can to get by.

  263. You've heard sister root and who you're about to lose

  264. due to age and natural causes. You've heard her say,

  265. what happened to that effectual, fervent prayer other righteous people

  266. that avail as much? What happened to coming into church

  267. and hearing somebody in a prayer room praying? Listen, I'm

  268. telling you that right there was my prayer room for

  269. about two years. It was not a prop room. There

  270. was some props in there. There was some old war

  271. out sown books and some old war out costumes from

  272. Christmas pageants and plays in there. But before I preach

  273. the four people, after driving two hours, I would go

  274. in there and I pray, and I'd bring them little

  275. howl boys in there and let them sitting there, and

  276. it worn't too much longer. Brother Johnny platted coming there

  277. and he'd light out to praying. About thirty minutes later,

  278. him and I we would walk out about prayer room

  279. and we would have church.

  280. I want you to know that God built this church

  281. on prayer.

  282. Hey, I may not be the one in here to

  283. today and tonight, I might not be the one here

  284. Wednesday Sunday Sunday night praying, but by now her ough

  285. to be somebody that said, could we turn that fellowship

  286. Paul into a men's prayer meeting before a church? Could

  287. we really get in there and pray and really hunger

  288. her search for God? Can we really pray the church people?

  289. Come on.

  290. I'm telling you you're doing a small part, but you

  291. ain't doing your part. And that's what I want to

  292. preach to you here tonight. If you do your part,

  293. God would do his with kind of mope, with his

  294. destroy all over to our little alder bench and we pray,

  295. and then we wonder. I know God's a blessing to

  296. beuth the Holiness Church, and I know it seems like

  297. this is the wrong church to be preaching this act.

  298. I know that people far and white call this a

  299. revible church. I know that people drive fifteen hours to

  300. be prayed over. I know that God has performed miracles

  301. upon miracles for people. I know that the Holy Ghost

  302. has fallen in a mighty way, and we've seen twelve

  303. to thirteen receive the Holy Ghost and be called to preach,

  304. and seeing them set forth and powerful Holy Ghost of

  305. knowing and ministries. But there's also been some new people

  306. come to town. There's been some new people. Let's move here,

  307. and we cannot forget how we got to where we're

  308. at unless we mix and mingle and forget how we

  309. got where we're at.

  310. I want you to know it, and I want to

  311. remind you of how we got where we're at.

  312. It got to the place where we had to have

  313. a move of God, and nobody looked to somebody else

  314. to do their part. Everybody was interested in doing their part.

  315. And if you're not careful, you'll let new people come in.

  316. I'm talking about the ice blocks that come in to

  317. get warmed up by your fire. But if you're not

  318. careful with an m and emptyology, with the mixing and

  319. the mingler. You will learn those ways and over Tiber

  320. the Churchill will become complacent, the Churchill will become stalea,

  321. the Churchill will become sturture.

  322. Oh that's what's wrong with some of their churches. You

  323. all left. You told me it was not a move

  324. of God there. The power of God was not there.

  325. Well, the people had been doing their part. There's no

  326. doubt the power of God would have been there. He's

  327. not a respector of persons. Moses warned them. He said,

  328. false teachers, false prophets. There's gonna be contamination. There's gonna

  329. be some mix in England. And at the same time,

  330. by the way, I've been talking to the Lord and

  331. Jesus Christ with sigh, is gonna come at the wall,

  332. Brother Nathaniel. Just seems to me that Pastor Moses just

  333. has all other gifts of the spirit that were available

  334. at that time, and he's just pointing everything and anything

  335. out to everybody, letting them know what God is thinking

  336. about all of the situations. What a pastor Moses was, heymen,

  337. now concerning the leavit. So Moses had to look as

  338. his tribe was singled out and separated for service to

  339. the Lord. Can I tell you that you are supposed

  340. to be the priest of your house, sir, that you

  341. are supposed to lead by example. Your wife might be

  342. a priest us, that she might have some prophecy gifts

  343. in her life. That you are to be the priest

  344. and the spiritual head of that household, and you are

  345. to lead by example. I'm telling you it would be

  346. better if some of us would lose that dopey dwper

  347. walker and quit trying to stretch her to the altar

  348. as though was somebody, and that we would really the

  349. real purpose in mind, that we would get somewhere and

  350. a prayer.

  351. Cause and hunk her down.

  352. And do our part, that we might get our part,

  353. and do our part, that others might get their part,

  354. take our place, ain't care our position.

  355. And pray. I'm telling you, God real help us. So if.

  356. Christians today are all supposed to be priest, Jesus Christ

  357. being the great high priest, Brother rode gap, I don't

  358. understand what's going on. Reading Malachi chapter number two, verses

  359. number four three seven, and you shall know.

  360. That I have sent this commandment unto you, that my

  361. covenant might be with Levi said, the Lord of Hosts,

  362. My covenant was with him of life and peace, and

  363. I gave them to him.

  364. For the fear.

  365. Wherewith he feared me and was afraid before my name.

  366. The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity

  367. was not found in his lips. He walked with me

  368. in peace and equity, and did turn many from iniquity.

  369. For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should

  370. seek the law in his mouth, for he is the

  371. messenger of the Lord of Hosts.

  372. Amen.

  373. God speaking of Malachi the prophet Malicha the prophet, and saying,

  374. I've called Levi to speak on my behalf. The Bible said,

  375. if any man speak, let him speak has the oracles

  376. of God. That is a spirit filled man, that is

  377. a holy ghost field person. That is somebody that's prayed

  378. things through in the prayer closet until they know that.

  379. It doesn't matter if we feel evil surrounding us. It

  380. doesn't matter if we feel evil from every angle on

  381. every hand. It doesn't matter if a black cloud is

  382. hovering over us as an individual, or our church family,

  383. or our natural family. It doesn't matter because we know

  384. that when the enemy comes in like a flood. If

  385. we've done our part, if we've had our prayer life,

  386. if we pray things through, then the spirit of the Lord,

  387. we'll raise up a standard against it. And historically that

  388. has been what has happened at the Bethel hole in

  389. this church. He will deliver us if we he will

  390. heal our lands, if we humble ourself and pray. That's

  391. what the Lord told every country that would hear his

  392. prophet's preacher.

  393. He spoke to them prophets these words.

  394. If my people which are called by my name, meaning

  395. separated unto the name of Jesus, separated unto a Judaism

  396. or a Christian lifestyle, separated people. If my people which

  397. are called by my name, shall humble themselves and pray,

  398. but it doesn't stop there, and turn from their wicked ways,

  399. then will I hear from heaven, and then will I

  400. heal her lands. I tell you can pray right here

  401. for five or ten minutes, or pray alone these walls

  402. for five to fifteen minutes.

  403. All you want to.

  404. But if you ain't got it in your heart to

  405. turn from wickedness, if you can't throw your plans out

  406. and come on and take God's plans. If you can't

  407. do it God's way, then it's gonna be the highway

  408. for you. I'm telling you, it's gotta be more than

  409. a roe. It's gotta be more than a predictability. It's

  410. gotta be more. There's some child forecaster. What time you're

  411. gonna get to church?

  412. Hey, come on now.

  413. I remember when we first started coming here, her brother

  414. for whatever reason, was running late and.

  415. We couldn't get in there. I just stand out there

  416. and pount them.

  417. I didn't stand out there and gossip and telling everybody

  418. I can't pray. I didn't look for an opportunity to

  419. talk her. I go around the back of nel, on

  420. top of the septic tanker and prayer and say, God,

  421. I don't know what's home, Papa plot upper and I

  422. steal her. Gotta talk to you and best off. I'm

  423. telling you God has always done his part of because

  424. we have done our part. But to the new people,

  425. it's time you do your part. I won't say to

  426. anybody that's been here lesson see seven years, it's time

  427. you do your part. There's been adequate time by now

  428. for you to realize. Oh as the Levites did, I

  429. have to offer a sacrifice. And so wait a minute,

  430. what is it I'm supposed to bring. I'm supposed to

  431. bring the priest the shoulder and the two cheeks, not

  432. one cheek and the mall or the stomach.

  433. Are you all with me? Right here? Right now? There

  434. is no denying the fact that back in this time period, when.

  435. The child of God brought a sacrificial offering to the Lord,

  436. that a very small part of it belonged to the

  437. ministers of the priest on duty, and there were some

  438. others that were off duty. But it says here and

  439. the shoulder, the cheek, and the stomach were brought, and

  440. they were given to the minister. They must have been

  441. a very important reason, brother, just saying for God to

  442. give them such a requirement as this, bring this specific portion.

  443. Don't bring the backstrap try and impress me. Don't bring

  444. the rough ROAs to try and impress my children. Now,

  445. don't try to do it different.

  446. Now what God said do.

  447. If we're gonna have a revival, it's gonna take up

  448. the same recipe for the same morded remedy. Pray, humble yourself,

  449. Oh come and stop the charades and give what.

  450. God has for you. Do your part. Stop the charades.

  451. There was an important reason for a while they had

  452. to bring the shoulder, the two cheeks, and the stomach.

  453. There must have been a very important reason, brother Nathaniel.

  454. The specific portion we know in the levitical priesthood and

  455. the ceremonial sacrifice, and in those laws, Brother Natania, we

  456. find types or shadows of Jesus Christ, who is our

  457. great high priest. And there's no doubt when we find

  458. all these types and all these shadows that there was

  459. a reason why they had to bring the shoulders, the

  460. two cheeks, and the stomach.

  461. Do you see this?

  462. Are you getting to do? You bring him his portion

  463. when you come here. We're supposed to bring everything. We're

  464. supposed to print present under him our bodies a living sacrifice,

  465. knowing we might be judged for the presentation and the

  466. appearance of the sacrifice.

  467. Hey, which is our reasonable service?

  468. We know that God's gonna say expected, God ain't gonna say,

  469. look at you, thank you for what you've done. It

  470. is your reasonable service that you come into the church

  471. and you lift up What's something?

  472. He asked for it? He asked for a shoulder, He

  473. asked for two cheeks, and he asked for the stomach.

  474. But I know for the New Testament Church and any

  475. other believer, he's always asked them for holy hands. He's

  476. asked them to clap them holy hands. He's ask them

  477. to reach out to him with those holy hands. He's

  478. asked them to lift up the vice like a trumpet.

  479. What is it about you? What are you holding back?

  480. What are you keeping back from God? What is that

  481. you're not yielding? What is it? Oh? I feel the preacher?

  482. What is it? Do we come inside this sanctuary with

  483. thanksgiving on her hearts and the prude of praise upon

  484. her lips. When he said, enter my gates with thanksgiving,

  485. enter my courts with praise, be thankful unto me, and

  486. bless my name. The summons put it this way, enter

  487. his gates with thanksgiving, and his lords were praise, be.

  488. Thankful unto him, and bless his name, for the Lord

  489. is good.

  490. But you know what we do?

  491. We come in just waiting to take ten minutes to

  492. give a prayer request that would it took ten seconds?

  493. And then we don't do our part and pray about it.

  494. But God didn't tell you to come in here, down

  495. and out, ben the Marlygram's complaining about your employer coming

  496. in here with a petition.

  497. Every sneaking week.

  498. So God said, every time you're come in to my prasence,

  499. you come here with thanksgiving.

  500. You be thankful.

  501. Hey, come on, coach you as a child of God,

  502. you as a separator child of God.

  503. This God has been a best for this God has blessing.

  504. No matter what you're going through, no matter what you're

  505. up against, no matter what.

  506. Your faith said, You're blest. You're blest coming in lame, hey,

  507. leap to the best of your ability.

  508. Did we go throughout the day today presenting our bodies

  509. as living sacrificial offerings? Did we keep something back from

  510. the Lord? Did the spirit of God tell us to pray?

  511. Did we keep that back from him? Do you remember

  512. when the spirit of God was allowed to shake you

  513. in the middle of the night, and you got up

  514. and you walked the floor, and after praising him, you

  515. interceded on the behalf of somebody else. Do you remember

  516. when he was allowed to speak to you while you

  517. were on your job, or while you were pushing a

  518. shopping cart. You went a long way around because you

  519. had to say a prayer for a grand baby, do

  520. you remember when you were allowed to listen to God?

  521. Why are you holding back your ears to hear? Why

  522. are you holding back your mouth to speak? Lord?

  523. What are you holding back? What are you holding back?

  524. There's something that's why you haven't went through.

  525. Your wife looks at you in the white of the ice,

  526. and she kisses you goodbye as you go to work,

  527. and she kisses you when you get home, and she

  528. knows there's something down in there for why you can't

  529. receive the Holy Ghost, and you lash at her. I'm

  530. operating as a prophet right now. You lash out at her.

  531. You let her know you're just a saved as she is.

  532. You let her know you ain't no heathen.

  533. You let her know. Come on, now, I know.

  534. Them guys that sought the Holy Ghost for twenty something

  535. years and finally got down to business, and they admitted

  536. to us they weren't doing their part.

  537. Huh. I feel the Holy Ghost sit in this place

  538. here tonight, Bethel. This is the church.

  539. It is because the people doing their part. When there

  540. was less than eight people in this church, people doing

  541. their part?

  542. Are y'all with me?

  543. When there was thirty people that belong to this church,

  544. there were people doing their part. And now I want

  545. to talk to the Howell family. I want to talk

  546. to them sons that I pray for, probably easily thirty

  547. times a day, and that daughter that I pray for

  548. when I pray for them sons, And I want to

  549. talk to them in laws that I probably pray for

  550. equally as much as I do my family, at least

  551. probably it's just the hell right, thirty times a day

  552. audibly correct? Would you say thirty times a day at

  553. least if not more? I say, God, would you touch Jeremiah, Jesse, Nathaniel, Hannah, Samuel, Phillip, God,

  554. would you touch Jeremiah, Leah, Elena and Isra. God would

  555. you touch Jesse? Would you touch Hannah, Michah, Melachi, Oh,

  556. come on, Maxon, Martin and Melody? God? Would you touch

  557. Nathaniel and Rachel and Rebecca, Renee and Ruth and Nathan?

  558. And would you keep Jeptera And tell him? I said, hello, God,

  559. would you touch Hannah? Would you touch Jonathan and Judah?

  560. God? Would you touch uIP, Samuel?

  561. Would you touch Meghan which it touched Natalie, Mariah and

  562. Simon and Madison? God? Would you touch Philip had Elizabeth

  563. and Ada, and if you'll give us another rose, we

  564. will definitely rejoice something in the fragrance of such a rose.

  565. And then I pray for the meth of holiness Church family.

  566. I begin with a road Camp family. I'm going down

  567. to the Wood family there, right on down to the

  568. Edwards family, right on down to the Shepherds family, right

  569. on over to the Wallace family.

  570. I taught her better m Taylor Road. Then I work

  571. up that God help.

  572. Sister Vicky Smith. God help sister Janet who's working late tonight.

  573. God help by the Gabel. God help sister Gail. God

  574. help of the gab Us family. God half sister with

  575. God help sister, God of Sister Simmons. God have brother

  576. Caleb broke Kamppa. God give him a jewel, for he

  577. truly deserves a pearl of great price. And then I

  578. pray for the Christian with family. And just go right

  579. hold and write Old Sister Hall will say at least

  580. thirty times a day because I know.

  581. I know I am a pastor. I know God gave

  582. you to me. I know I'm a papa. I know

  583. God gave you to me. I know I'm a daddy.

  584. God gave you to me. I know I'm a father

  585. in law. God gave you to me.

  586. I've got to do my part. Nobody else can do

  587. what I've called to do. And nobody Christ, whether or

  588. not Moses, what's doing his part. It ain't gonatin you.

  589. He isn't doing his part. Instead, I'm preaching to you tonight,

  590. when will you do your part so God can do his?

  591. As God grows our church. If we're not careful, that

  592. has not happened. I'm just trying to preach prophetically and

  593. warn you and tell you the mixing and the Mengland

  594. will distract you. The mixing in them England will distract you.

  595. We're supposed to be believing that miracles can happen, that

  596. God can turn goats in the sheep, and God can

  597. turn tears into wheat. Heymen, Holy sweet Jesus, I don't

  598. feel like turning this into iceberg Holiness Church. I want

  599. just to remain the birthel Holness Church, the Revival church

  600. where the fire hallways burns now. Sister how just boldly

  601. and without one ounce of hesitation, said, there's no doubt

  602. your pastor does his part and prays for each of

  603. you by name. Thirty times a day, Ethan, you have

  604. worked with me, and you have witnessed me take that

  605. hat off, probably in an eight hour shift sixty seventy times,

  606. I mean, and more than that. Probably Hey, Hey, God,

  607. Me and Ethan's over here in brother Philip's yard cutting

  608. down some trees and removing to breathe. But I just

  609. want you to know Lord, as a salute to you,

  610. most time you remember a little old grasshopper right here,

  611. and you have mercy on us as we're working. And

  612. sometimes it's just a two sentence prayer. Sometimes it's a

  613. five sentence prayer. But I always say God keep us,

  614. God keep us, Lord Keep us. And sometimes it's just God,

  615. I thank you for this day. I thank you God

  616. for what you made. I thank you for my friend

  617. over here. I thank you for the friendship. I thank

  618. you for the family. What in the world what you

  619. dragging too this church? For that you literally left abitating

  620. to a tend and coming here tonight, like God ain't

  621. been good to you, inact.

  622. Like we've changed. I want you to know we have

  623. at change.

  624. Your problem is you have not yet God in the

  625. compliance with what God wants you to do. Should I

  626. keep preaching or shall we go to the chicken house?

  627. It says here the shoulder, the cheeks, and the stomach.

  628. Brother Jesse, Brother LaRue, tell you that manudo is good. Hey,

  629. bring that to the preacher. Did we go throughout today

  630. today resenting our life, resenting what God has done for us?

  631. Or did we go through today presenting our bodies as

  632. a living sacrifice? Did you go resenting everything God's been

  633. trying to tell you to do? Or have you been

  634. presenting that this is the way we do it? It's

  635. a wholly unacceptable manner and fashion. Come on, now, have

  636. we held back part of the sacrifice? You can bring

  637. the cheeks and the stomach and hide that shoulder if

  638. you want to. But you better bring it. I said,

  639. you better bring it. Let me ask someone an important question.

  640. Have you given him everything, even that smallest part? Are

  641. you holding something back?

  642. I mean?

  643. Always asking you to do is be a responsible adult.

  644. Always asking you to do is have a perfect work ethic.

  645. Always asking you to do is to represent him as

  646. an ambassador. Hey, be blame less not to bring a

  647. reproach upon him? Are your church family? Luke the beloved

  648. position abandoned his family medical practice? Did he not because

  649. he wanted to do his part, and I'm glad he did.

  650. I'm glad he found his part, his companion to Paul,

  651. I'm glad he found his place and did his part

  652. to put pen in the parchment, give us the Gospel

  653. of Luke and the Book of Acts, aren't you glad?

  654. He left a doctor position to be a recorder of

  655. New Testament events. And one of them New Testament events

  656. he recorded was in chapter number five of the Book

  657. of Acts, Verses number one and two.

  658. But a certain man named Anna Nice with.

  659. Sapphire his wife, sold a possession and kept back part

  660. of the price. His wife also being privy to what

  661. was going on, and they brought in a certain part

  662. and laid it at the apostle's feet.

  663. Notice he brought in a certain part.

  664. The Holy ghost stood back, Sister Wooten, Peter's standing there,

  665. Jeremy house standing here right now.

  666. Well, it's just Jeremy. How that's okay, I get it,

  667. I get it. It's Peter. That's right.

  668. You go ahead and try to pull the wool over

  669. that apostle's eyes if you want to.

  670. That's right. It's only Peter.

  671. But the problem is who's living inside of Peter, he

  672. knows it's only a part.

  673. Well.

  674. I am seeking the Holy Ghost, I am working hard,

  675. I am holding down a job, I am growing in Grayson,

  676. and knowledge of the Lord Save Jesus Christ.

  677. Praying. I am praying.

  678. Didn't have the preacher and the pastor for lunch talking

  679. to you wife or your husband.

  680. I am seeking God. Hey, you know what they saw.

  681. They saw good man like Barnabas, who was full of

  682. faith and full of the Holy gold, sell all of

  683. his possessions and bring the proceeds of those selves and

  684. lay them at the apostles feet.

  685. They must have been in that service.

  686. So they hurt everybody privately praising Barnabas for his notable actions.

  687. And so they decided they wanted pre eminence, they wanted praise.

  688. They want to prestige, they wanted positions. They sold a

  689. piece of property in order to bring an offer, and

  690. it seemed like it was just well presented. It just

  691. seemed like it was a real, true blue, pure vanilla grated, genuine,

  692. authentic sacrifice. And Peter, no doubt when they came in

  693. saw that purse of money and thought, wow, that's a

  694. great gift. That's a great gift. But the Holy Ghost

  695. of saying, Peter, it's only this certain part. Hey, it's

  696. on this certain part. That's what I've heard. I guess

  697. that's why I'm preaching along these lines here tonight. They

  698. looked a part, but they're only a certain part of

  699. the part. They're not the whole part. They're not the

  700. complete part. It's a certain part. And Peter tries to

  701. get them an opportunity to worm out of it, and

  702. they just push on through. Oh, it's my best, it's

  703. the best. And Peter said, why would you lie to

  704. the holy ghost here? That you lie to the holy ghost?

  705. These men standing nearby will drag you out and they

  706. will bury you.

  707. Oh, come on.

  708. Then comes Somepphire walks in there, and she does the

  709. same exact.

  710. She wanted to play her part. She didn't want to

  711. mess up her part. She wanted to do it just

  712. exactly like her husband did it.

  713. Do you know when you listen to your husband more

  714. than you listen to God, it could be a set up.

  715. I said, that could be a setup. Die with your husband,

  716. to the hell with your husband, O God, to heaven

  717. with Jesus. The choice it is.

  718. All that Sapphire would have said, that mauld of dirt

  719. back there is that line connib and cheating, scheming, and

  720. a nice under that mound of dirt, and them deacons

  721. and them grave diggers would have said, yep, that's him.

  722. Wouldn't have been great at She'd have fallen down and said,

  723. hold on, Peter, let me go to the house and

  724. get the rest. But she wanted to stick with her story. Listen,

  725. you better stop sticking with your story and sticking with

  726. your plan and stop doing what you want to do.

  727. You better start doing what God told you to do.

  728. Come on now, hey, stop writing your own Bible, stop

  729. with your private interpretations, stop with your dedicated demonstrations, and

  730. really get down to the nitty gritty where you're at

  731. with God. Say God, we started it like this. We

  732. need to finish, completed, We need to finish. We need

  733. to finish. God satisfied?

  734. Have we done it all?

  735. Brother Jesse? It was a clown show. He and she

  736. held back part of the price. That little missing portion

  737. mattered to God. Sister Wooton. They wonder how could God

  738. bless Sister Wooton a way? Has I watch as she

  739. was in doctor Ashley's office today for the first time,

  740. Brother Tyler had me on the live feed watching and

  741. I realized real quick Ashley loves Sister Wooton. I could

  742. just hear it in her voice. She loves Sister Wooton.

  743. And I told sister how as I watch, I said,

  744. she's hooked already. She spent twenty minutes with her, just

  745. loved her. I said, why wouldn't she love her? I

  746. could tell Sister Wooton loved her, and I can tell you.

  747. I could tell doctor Ashley was doing her part. And

  748. then I heard brother Tyler stepped do his part. He

  749. wanted to make sure nothing got overlooked concerning his grandma.

  750. He wasn't about to let sus the woop go out

  751. that office without discussing that nee, without discussing that need.

  752. It's locked up on her now, keeping her from Tyler

  753. stepped up and done his part. Come on, Dad, I

  754. mean going to work every day, that's your part. You

  755. don't seem to struggle with that at all. I don't

  756. since one one bit of struggle with Brother Samuel bringing

  757. his part and laying it down on the table and

  758. Sam Megan, here it is, and Brother Samuel, hey, come on,

  759. you feel good about doing your part from what I

  760. can see, Brother Samuel, Sister Megan's definitely doing her part. Man,

  761. you have definitely prospered since you moved out of my house.

  762. Amen. Amen.

  763. And Brother Sama does a great job as a son

  764. of doing his part. So does Brother Nathaniel, so does

  765. the others they show up in my house, Sister Wood

  766. and you talked about some, hey, that don't do their part.

  767. You talked about some that don't. But then you got

  768. Crystal who needs to move in there, probably as soon

  769. as she can to help you out. Hey, you're gonna

  770. you're gonna get slower and slower. That's what actually told

  771. you today. Some of this stuff just comes with age.

  772. Some of this stuff just comes with age. Are are

  773. y'all with pastor? But Brother Nathaniel Sunday night, after that

  774. wonderful service, come over to my house. He was about

  775. eight and a half feet in near working on something

  776. for me not to be disclosed.

  777. He's about eight and.

  778. A half feet in near, just standing there working right

  779. next to a yellow jacket nest, and then right next

  780. to some red wasped nests, right next to some horns.

  781. I said, man, everything that could sap pims right there,

  782. ready to strike and I said, holy ghost, under my breath,

  783. I said, keep them back, keep them back.

  784. My my air force is ready to strike. Came in.

  785. Pastor's air force is ready to strike. And they didn't

  786. mess with him brother before, which is very surprising that

  787. they didn't pop him. But I was a praying, you know, God,

  788. keep my boy, Keep my boy. He's trying to do

  789. his part. He's trying to keep me from standing up

  790. nine ten feet in there. He knows I'm wore out

  791. after two long services. He knows only had three and

  792. a half hours sleep. He didn't want to even think

  793. about me being up here on that ladder. Are y'all

  794. with brother Jeremiah, You do your part on a daily basis.

  795. I say, what a blessing you are to me on

  796. a daily basis.

  797. Are y'all? Are y'all listening to me right here?

  798. I got no problem doing my part, Brother jes saying,

  799. when I drive by your yard.

  800. I told you, Mama the other day.

  801. I said, man, there is no doubt this guy has

  802. no problem doing his part of keeping his yard clean,

  803. his flower beds, manicured, his house painted good pressure. Why,

  804. I said, that is somebody that is not at all Hey,

  805. come on regretting getting married. He's not at all regretting

  806. moving out of daddy's house. He's not at all regretting

  807. assuming responsibility. He's not at all against his role or

  808. his part in that family.

  809. U'nit.

  810. The pressure for a move of God is not to

  811. be on the preacher in the pulpit. It's to be

  812. a laymen and the lay women in the pews. That's

  813. where the prayer should be coming forth. The pastor spends

  814. countless hours in prayer before he preaches a message. If

  815. there's a misfire somewhere, I guarantee you you better check

  816. the spark out there.

  817. Because plug number one's firing.

  818. Amen, And we got about seventy five to eighty spark

  819. plugs out there. Are you sparking? I ain't talking about

  820. the silly delivery. I know you got to do that,

  821. sister road Cap, but I'm asking, are you sparking? Come here? Yeah,

  822. he's sparking. Amen.

  823. Are you on fire?

  824. You know you walking them doors like Sister Rooting does

  825. on past speaking in dogs.

  826. Amen. You can do it with no kids, or you

  827. can do it with a house full of kids.

  828. If you got a house full of kids, you could

  829. come in sparking by simply saying, God, I've got ten

  830. reasons for sparking right now.

  831. I got ten reasons for being on fire. I got

  832. ten reasons.

  833. Right now for God, find your name and coming in

  834. here with thanksgive and study noses or not.

  835. I just want to ask you, with love, are you

  836. really doing your part? I want to ask you, when love,

  837. are you really doing your part?

  838. I have no doubt to Sister Hammon sitting down there

  839. by the river about every night or evening, most evenings

  840. out there praying number one for spark plug number one.

  841. You see what I'm saying. This church has grown now.

  842. We never worried about misfire. With seven, eight, nine, ten, twenty, thirty,

  843. forty fifty brother Rope Camp, we never slowed down. But

  844. now seventy we talked about by the end of the

  845. year eighty five is what I'm hearing. Hey, we can't

  846. let it be a comment tame where we just come

  847. dragging in here at seven twenty eight on Wednesday night. Hey,

  848. it aint all of us ain't driving an hour to

  849. get here. If you drove an hour, I'd understand you

  850. coming in here at seven twenty or seven twenty five Amen.

  851. You know what, I get here an hour early because

  852. I've got to preach. It ain't that I'm not prepared.

  853. Your mama watches me play with sermon ideas all week long.

  854. Oh God, what do I preach?

  855. Amen? I'm ready to preach right now. Something else. If

  856. you don't want to stay with me another two hours, Amen,

  857. I got no problem doing my part.

  858. But what his heartbreaking is sometimes very concerning to me

  859. is whenever I hear at seven seventeen, it sounds like

  860. a circus in here.

  861. Amen.

  862. One brother messaged me, he asked me to preach his

  863. meeting of coming up. And this was this week, and

  864. he messaged me and he said, Brother Jeremy, he said,

  865. the devil's a fighting I said, well, join the club.

  866. I said, I think my most often used statement of

  867. this year is it's just the devil.

  868. He said, you got that right, Brother Jeremy. He said.

  869. If we've ever fought, we fought this year.

  870. He said, it's just one thing right after another, everything

  871. falling through. I thought, yeah, that's about right. That's the

  872. devil doing his part. That's the devil not hesitating to

  873. fulfill his role. That's the devil saying, you know, what.

  874. I don't need a pointy tail or, a horn or

  875. two horns. I'm gonna do my part. Where you been, Lucifer, Well,

  876. I've been walking to and fro throughout the earth. I've

  877. been busy. There's one thing you don't allow, this sowtfulness.

  878. You don't allow demons to be slowful. They'll go to

  879. pigs if they have to. Are y'all with me right now?

  880. I'm not trying to slow down. I'm trying to ask

  881. you what is the problem with do in your part?

  882. These levites?

  883. Watch people come in and just give them that part

  884. that they were commanded. How many did they need? How

  885. many cheeks? How many shoulders? How many stomachs?

  886. The mall? How many mall maladies? How many malls? M

  887. a w How many malls do you need?

  888. You know what an naisis of fire did what sums

  889. being tempted to do right now? They lied to the

  890. Holy ghost, that certain part, that small part. They left

  891. it at the house. The Israelites were to bring the

  892. shoulder to the priests. And the shoulder represents weights, cares

  893. and burdens. And couple of weeks ago, I said, let

  894. us lay aside every weight and the sin that does

  895. so easily beset us.

  896. Why can't you lay hold of that down on the altar?

  897. It's keeping you from offering a clean, holy sacrifice. Why

  898. do you choose to carry it back with you when

  899. you walk away from the altar after a time of prayer?

  900. Why do you put it back on your shoulder? Why

  901. do you shoulder when he says, cast all your care

  902. upon me, for.

  903. I care for you.

  904. Why do you walk away with a sad face? Why

  905. do you walk away with complaints? Why do you walk

  906. away we regrets? Why why do you depart sadly?

  907. Sadly?

  908. They were to leave the cheeks at the altar? Has

  909. anyone been smitting on the cheek today? Well, if you

  910. were smitting on the cheek, he told you to turn

  911. the other one to them. I feel like preaching for

  912. a little while. It's been a little while since I've

  913. been able to.

  914. Preach to you.

  915. Did you turn the other cheek or did you swing

  916. that fist? Did you turn the other cheek or did

  917. you swing that tongue around? Are you human right now

  918. because somebody spoke ill of you? Or are you like

  919. a coke bottle all shook up? Be cause somebody made

  920. you mad. Isaiah chapter number fifteen, Verse number six condemns you,

  921. speaking of our Lord said, I gave my back to

  922. the Smiters and my cheeks to them that plucked off

  923. the hair. I hid up my face from shame and spitting.

  924. Have you suffered for the cause of Christ? Are you

  925. ashamed to do your part? Have to look like a Christian?

  926. Are you shame of righteous and holy attire? Are you

  927. shame of that long hair? Are you a shame?

  928. Come off? I'm asking you? Are you ashamed of be

  929. a Christian? Have you suffered? Have you suffered for the

  930. God I supp's sake? Have you been lying on?

  931. Have you been talked about? Have you been mistreated? Jesus

  932. gave his back to the Smiters basically the way I

  933. interpret that, that's my own interpretation. Since he turned the cheek,

  934. I almost feel like, because he was an all knowing God,

  935. he knew the parts of his back that had not

  936. yet been struck.

  937. He just how about right there, mister, right there, go

  938. ahead and rip that up too. Huh?

  939. You want to smite this cheek? How about get this

  940. one right here too? You want to pull this part

  941. of my beard out?

  942. Hey?

  943. Might as well make it match not mocky, might as well.

  944. If you're gonna torment me, you might as well do

  945. a good job of it. If I won't suffer, I

  946. might as well suffer food.

  947. Mhm.

  948. If I'm gonna suffer for Phillip's cancer battle, how might

  949. as well suffer completely? If I won't suffer for Aaron

  950. Wood's struggle for his son Dylan's life spiritually, how might

  951. as well suffer?

  952. Foody?

  953. If I'm gonna suffer and carry Nathaniel's burdens of losing jeps,

  954. how might as well hang my head? When my father

  955. turns his back on me, and I asked the question why, why.

  956. Forsaken me?

  957. He did his part. He despised a shame for the

  958. joy set before him. He endured the cross despies of shame.

  959. I feel the Holy ghost in this place, sister. How

  960. when Heaven asked him to do his part, the son

  961. stepped out of the throne with his father and said,

  962. I will go. I feel like saying it again. I

  963. hidden up my face from shame and spitting. I gave

  964. my back to the smiters. And according to Luke, the

  965. doctor at the interview and eye witnesses sister whooting, they said.

  966. Somebody told the doctor said, there was the prettiest voice though,

  967. in the midst of all that hate, there was somebody praying,

  968. and it was Jesus as he hung And the words

  969. the man kept saying was Father forgives them, for they

  970. know not what they do. And you come to church

  971. full of bitterness, anger, hatred. I'm gonna tell y'all something.

  972. A miracle happened yesterday.

  973. I won't give a name.

  974. You will be touched greatly at this report. We give

  975. God all glory. Sister how And I was in a

  976. place of business. While we were in a place of business,

  977. an individual who's literally seemingly out of their mind come in.

  978. Out of their mind came in. After while standing at

  979. the door, they went out. The Holy Girl spoke to

  980. me and said, after all this time, you will speak

  981. to her this day. I didn't go chase her out.

  982. I didn't text anybody pray for me. I didn't want

  983. nobody to know anything. We walked out, Sister Hall doing

  984. her things she always does, put her arm around my

  985. arm and walked out.

  986. There she is. I walked right by her. I turned

  987. I stared at her.

  988. Probably the only other woman I've looked at in eyes

  989. besides your mama, you know, I said, ma'am, I said,

  990. do you love Jesus and brother Jesse? She real angrily went,

  991. I said you don't love my Jesus. I said you

  992. sure about that, mama? Hold they'd not, trying to interrupt me,

  993. real softly, she said, why not? That woman hit the ground.

  994. I looked down there and I said, ma'am, ma'am, my

  995. Jesus loves you though, just that calm, I said, ma'am, ma'am,

  996. ma'am right here, look at me.

  997. My Jesus loves you though. Son. The Holy Fiery God

  998. started burning in her. She cried.

  999. More severely and greatly than I've ever seen anybody in

  1000. the House of God cry. And she started staring off

  1001. like that to the side, and I said, he loves you.

  1002. And she looked back at me and start to shake

  1003. her head, and she turned a stare, and the Holy

  1004. Good spoke to me and said, she's bitter. She's blamed

  1005. Jesus for something. And I looked at Miranda, and she

  1006. looked at me, and she stared the fire God burning,

  1007. and her soul and her lips a quivering.

  1008. And she stared.

  1009. She looked at me in her eyes just as red

  1010. tears flowing down her face like Mary Magdalen's. I said, Miranda,

  1011. you know he loes and she's just equivering by this time,

  1012. and she's shaking. So I'm telling you, all she had

  1013. to do was say Jesus, and she had got saved, sanctified,

  1014. Holy ghost filled Iris Wooding. If I've ever felt the

  1015. power of God, I felt it when I went to

  1016. get out of that vehicle. I told Sister how I said,

  1017. they say miracles don't happen nowadays. I said, but we

  1018. have what the apostles had, Sister VICKI, I said, we

  1019. have it. I said, it's unbelief. Lay aside every weight

  1020. in the sin unbelief. Hebrews chapter number twelve he Brings

  1021. Chapter number eleven is about faith. Hebrews Chapter number ten

  1022. is about going to the House of God forsaken, not

  1023. disembling of yourself as the manner of some is, building

  1024. up your most holy faith right, praying in the Holy Ghost, reading,

  1025. hearing the word of God preached. Hebrews chapter number eleven.

  1026. A lot of people received great mighty miracles because of

  1027. their faith. He Brings chapter number twelve, Lay aside every

  1028. weight and the sin, Sister Crystal, Sister Leah. She was

  1029. that close to screaming out Jesus the Sonnay David saved me.

  1030. She was that close to her mind returning to her.

  1031. She was that close.

  1032. I don't know why I felt like going in that day.

  1033. I don't go into them stories. I walked in there

  1034. and just patiently waited. But I told you, Mama said,

  1035. he's still a miracle worker. He's still performing miracles, and

  1036. he'll save those that just seemed like they can't be saved.

  1037. It was less than ten minutes later, Son, right there by,

  1038. Save a lot, in between Save a lot and dollar tree.

  1039. We're right there in the power of God is falling

  1040. on Miranda in a greater measure than some of you

  1041. who don't want to get serious with Jesus about And

  1042. I watched as God showed me Miranda's heart. And may

  1043. God smite you dead if you go and meddle with Miranda,

  1044. because she ain't.

  1045. Gonna feel the same thing. But I want you to

  1046. know my spirit.

  1047. Opened up to the Holy Ghost, and the Holy Ghost

  1048. reached forth a hand alife to Miranda. Son, I'm talking

  1049. about tears pouring out of her eyes, and I'm talking

  1050. about looking off and her thinking to herself, I gotta

  1051. let go of this bitterness, and then look at me.

  1052. The most desperate plea you've ever seen in your life.

  1053. I watched her four or five times. The Holy Ghost said,

  1054. just come back another day. I can help her. God

  1055. told us preachers to take it out there. All we

  1056. got to do is do our part. Do our part,

  1057. reach the least, the lost, and the lonely. How many

  1058. are willing to do their part anymore? How many are

  1059. willing to go out to the highways and the hedges,

  1060. how many are willing to go to the nursing home.

  1061. Just do your part, he'll do his, Brother Jesse, Brother Nathan,

  1062. you'll just do your part.

  1063. He'll do his. Why don't feel like anything's happening to me?

  1064. Do your part, he'll do his.

  1065. And I want to talk to you about unforgiveness. Joseph

  1066. was in captivity, if I remember correctly, for thirteen years.

  1067. Joseph was in captivity nine to ten years of that

  1068. he was in Potiphar's house thirteen years. Brother Nathaniel Moore,

  1069. and there was probably some periods of time when he

  1070. had hostility and revenge in his heart, and until he

  1071. prayed that through God would not bring him out of

  1072. prison and put him into palace. I'm convinced that it

  1073. took thirteen years to get revenge and hostility out of

  1074. his heart. And when those brothers came to him, brother

  1075. robecap because the father Jacob had sent them to him.

  1076. The Bible said, when he saw those brothers standing in

  1077. their sister woot and his heart was greatly moved and

  1078. greatly stirred, and he had to turn and walk out.

  1079. He went in there and he cried and said, God,

  1080. there was a day and hours they had showed up,

  1081. maybe just six months ago. I that killed every one

  1082. of them, but I love them. My brothers are home.

  1083. I'll never go home again. But my brothers who were

  1084. lost or found, I want you all to know. It

  1085. wasn't Joseph it was lost. It was his brothers that

  1086. was lost. He realized, it's my brothers that are lost,

  1087. and somebody needs to bring them cheeks and that shoulder

  1088. and that stomach. The Maul to Jesus tonight, before he

  1089. was elevated to be the Hebrew Pharaoh, he had to

  1090. be humbled and three or four of the gospel writers

  1091. wanted to share with readers about a young man that

  1092. refused to be humbled. They called him a good man,

  1093. they called him a young man, they called him a

  1094. kind man, they called him a ruler. They called him

  1095. just a young promise and superstar. And Jesus asked that

  1096. young man. He said, keep the commandments. And the young man,

  1097. as Jesus said, all these things I've kept since I

  1098. was a young And and then Jesus, you know the narrative,

  1099. Jesus said, go sell all that you have and follow me,

  1100. brother Jesse. The young man long story short, hung his

  1101. head and basically said, I don't want to be perfect.

  1102. I don't want to be holding God. I want to

  1103. keep something back. And that's where Jesus said, the love

  1104. of many, and the love of the rich, and the

  1105. love of money, how hard it is for the rich

  1106. man to enter into the kingdom of heaven. And that

  1107. little young ruler didn't want to give up his positions

  1108. and didn't want to give up his possessions. He didn't

  1109. want to give up his positions, he didn't want to

  1110. give up his possessions. And brother Philip, he walked away

  1111. and that's how I pray every time before I preach.

  1112. Let us depart this place joyfully and not sorrowfully. The

  1113. Bible said he walked away sorrowfully.

  1114. He had his part that he kept back.

  1115. What is your one thing? I hate to say this,

  1116. but for some it's a silly app For some it's

  1117. a silly relationship. For some it's just one cheek.

  1118. Their victory.

  1119. Is right there, but their unforgiveness, that unforgiven spirit. It

  1120. has been said before, by holding us Pentecostal people, I

  1121. will never forgive.

  1122. I'm glad Jesus didn't say that. What is it? Is

  1123. it honesty you're holding back?

  1124. I want to say, as a pastor, there's some things

  1125. your pastor shouldn't have to figure out, and there's some

  1126. things your pastors shouldn't have to pray through. You should

  1127. love your church family enough to tell your church family.

  1128. If a murderer and he has a murderer, he is

  1129. a murderer. If he has a record of a murderer,

  1130. he gets saved and he prays through and gets gloriously transformed,

  1131. but he shows up, that's one of your relatives.

  1132. You owe it to me right on day one.

  1133. To tell me, this man can have an explosive temper

  1134. and potentially he could murder somebody in this church.

  1135. You owe it to me.

  1136. Wouldn't it be a terrible thing for you to expect

  1137. me to pray it through. Let's just let God do

  1138. it and me not do my part like so many do.

  1139. And then one day that person's explosive temper leads them

  1140. to pull the trigger and they kill somebody in the neighborhood,

  1141. and the Holiness Church has a bad name henceforth, and

  1142. it's a reproach on the Holiness people. And it could

  1143. have been avoided if you'd have just said right up front,

  1144. this person is a murderer.

  1145. If somebody has.

  1146. Abuse you, I don't know exactly where all you came from,

  1147. but if somebody has abused you, and then thirty years

  1148. later they decide to come to the Bethelhonness Church and

  1149. you know it, and you don't say nothing, and then

  1150. they abuse your grandchild. Whose fault is that, Pastors because

  1151. he didn't figure it out, Pastors because he he didn't

  1152. preach against that. Who's sometimes we have to bring him

  1153. our honesty, our broken spirit, our transparency, our submission to authority.

  1154. What is that small thing. I'll never ever call him pastor.

  1155. It'll always be brother Jeremy.

  1156. I dealt with some like that.

  1157. They're no longer saved to this day because just something

  1158. in them wouldn't let them say pastor Moses, that's the

  1159. spirit of Cora Byron and Dathan and Moses finally wondered,

  1160. is am I not specially selected and chosen by God

  1161. to lead this people? So I'm just gonna have to

  1162. pray and say, let there be a line. I'm gonna

  1163. say a prayer that I don't want to pray, but

  1164. apparently there needs to be a distinction, and there needs

  1165. to be a line clearly drawn into sand. And the

  1166. Bible said after that the earth opened up and swallowed them,

  1167. and they went alive down into the pit. Well, he's

  1168. a man just like me. Brother Johnny Platt used to

  1169. warn this church as it grew of just not respecting

  1170. leadership properly. We don't have that problem here. But Brother

  1171. Jesse knew people are coming in. I don't know where

  1172. they came from. I don't know if they really have

  1173. a servant's heart. I don't know if they really know

  1174. how to subject to authority. Because one of the best

  1175. ways to see that they're in subjection to authority is

  1176. whenever you even suggest that they do something, they do it.

  1177. I'm on something.

  1178. I'm probably ruining a good evangelistic style message here and

  1179. turning into a pastoral message. But I could, with the

  1180. years of experience that I have as a pastor, I

  1181. could wear this one out till about two o'clock in

  1182. the morning. Probably that small thing, why don't you bring

  1183. it to Jesus? Brother Johnny Platt warned this congregation, I said,

  1184. a little while ago, when it was a small congregation,

  1185. he'd do his part as an elder.

  1186. He'd stand up Brother Justin.

  1187. He'd say, Hey, that young man right there is thirty

  1188. five years old and I'm seventy five. But that's my pastor.

  1189. And he said, I'm in subjection to him. And he said,

  1190. as long as he follows Christ, I'll follow him. And

  1191. that man on his deathbed he said, I love my pastor.

  1192. If if you can't right now say I love my pastor,

  1193. why are you even here?

  1194. Are y'all with me?

  1195. I hit a little stump right there. In ten years,

  1196. I'm not gonna be gone from your life. I don't

  1197. feel that way. Maybe maybe not. Maybe God'll take Maybe

  1198. I'll die early. I don't know, but I why won't

  1199. be out of your life. I'll still be preaching and

  1200. praying for you, God will. It's still doing my part,

  1201. still be helping marry your babies to other wonderful, God

  1202. fearing people, Still be helping you dedicate your babies, standing.

  1203. Everybody your pastor's side.

  1204. Still beat a vital, important part, doing my part, hopefully

  1205. until I die, Brother Jesse, doing my part being a

  1206. blessing to other preachers in this building, Brother Nathaniel, I

  1207. don't want to call for an altar. They had no option,

  1208. did they, Sister. We just said, and this shall be

  1209. the priest due from the people. Well I don't like that. Priest, Well,

  1210. guess what. You don't get to offer the rest of

  1211. your offering either you offer it all according to the

  1212. planning the will of God, or your offering will be

  1213. not accepted. Well I don't, I don't, I don't.

  1214. I don't.

  1215. I don't feel like there's anybody in here disrespecting me personally.

  1216. But I will tell you what I feel in my spirit.

  1217. Unforgiveness is destroying Miranda. I don't know if a grandmother died,

  1218. She blamed God. I don't know if a child died,

  1219. I don't know, if a sister died. I don't know,

  1220. if a mother died.

  1221. I don't know.

  1222. If somebody got ran over, some accident happened, and one

  1223. thing led to another drug abuse, and then she fried

  1224. her mind. But I'm gonna tell you, buddy, she knows

  1225. tonight Jesus loves her. And before I left, I said Brenda,

  1226. Pastor Howell. She said yes, Sir, I said Pastor Howell.

  1227. She said yes, Sir, sister, wooting her eyes, pouring tears

  1228. in her lips, just to stammering in her just the

  1229. weeping when I walked off, Brother Jesse, spirit of God

  1230. all over. That unforgiveness and that bitterness is eating her life.

  1231. That's why she's chose not to love Jesus. And if you,

  1232. without the Spirit of God go to try to teach

  1233. her and school her on forgiveness and bad thing without

  1234. the Holy Ghost, you'll only you. She'll probably knock you out.

  1235. That's what she's She's known for not backing down, Brother Nathaniel.

  1236. It's not that betha Waitinet doing our part. It's not

  1237. that the ministry team's not doing the part. It's not

  1238. that the Holy Ghost isn't doing his part. There's summon

  1239. this building that have decided not to do their part,

  1240. Brother Jesse, Until they do their part, He's not gonna

  1241. do his.

  1242. What is it?

  1244. Do you realize I was recently in a service with

  1245. about seventy seven people in attendance. Somebody literally let me

  1246. know by not doing what I said, the Holy Ghost

  1247. showed me there to do. Do you know somebody in

  1248. this building had the nerve to basically let us know,

  1249. I'm not gonna do my part. That's the same thing

  1250. them suckers said when bo As, I'm not gonna do

  1251. my part as a near kinsman.

  1252. That's exactly what he said.

  1253. Bo As said, well, good, the blessing of be mine,

  1254. And I said three weeks ago. God will raise up

  1255. a drunkard off the streets. He's already dealing with Miranda,

  1256. He's already dealing with some hispanics who are evangelizing. He'll

  1257. raise up a drunkard, save his soul, sanctify him, fill

  1258. him with a hole and ghost, have him throw down

  1259. preaching in this church, become the greatest preacher Bethel's every

  1260. known ruth was better off because one wouldn't do his part.

  1261. But I can tell you something, the one that didn't

  1262. do his part.

  1263. Lost so much. I'm not gonna do my part.

  1264. And this shall be the priest do from the people,

  1265. from them that offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox

  1266. or sheep, and they shall give unto the priest the

  1267. shoulder and the two cheeks and the mall. You realize

  1268. tonight passed the house done his part right, I've heard

  1269. from the Lord. I preach what he told me to

  1270. preach to you. Now you gonna let Maran to take

  1271. your blessing. I'm okay with it. I wish it'd be

  1272. you got blessed and Miranda got blessed. But if you've

  1273. decided you ain't gonna get it, sister, brother, God will

  1274. start sending them in because it's his plan to save

  1275. that which is lost. You act like you ain't in

  1276. your right mind and you can't understand and comprehend what

  1277. God's saying to you. God to take somebody like Miranda

  1278. and show you. Oh, yes you can understand, and yes

  1279. you can't do what God has told you to do.

  1280. Amen. Oh, yes, you do know what to do.

  1281. Jesus use me, the songwriter said, the old Lord. Don't

  1282. refuse me, for surely there's a work I can do.
