If It Was My Choice - Bro Nathanael Howell 7-29-2026

Amen, beloved, go with me to Acts chapter number eight.

Praise God Acts chapter number eight. Hellylujah.

Amen.

Could I get somebody to read Jeremiah chapter number eight

and verse number twenty. Brother Jesse, if you would Jeremiah

chapter number eight and verse number twenty, Amen, Praise God, brother,

Brother Caleb. If you would Joshua twenty four and verse

number fifteen. Amen, Praise God, Brother Jesse. Amen Jeremiah. Amen,

could you read that for us?

My brother?

You're to the hell of Jeremiah eight and verse number twenty.

The harvest is passed, the summer is ended, and we

are not saved.

God.

Amen, brother Caleb. Would you read Joshua twenty four and

verse fifteen, my brother?

And if it seem evil and to you to serve,

the Lord choose you this day whom you will serve,

whether the gods which your fathers served that were on

the other side of the flood, or the gods of

the Amrits and whose land you dwell. But as for

me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

Amen asked Chapter number eight and verse number five, The

Bible said, then went Philip down to the city of Samarian,

preached Christ unto them, and the people with one accord

gave heat under those things which Philip spake, hearing and

seeing the miracles which he did for unclean spirits, crying

with loud voices came out of many that were possessed

with them, and many taken with polsy and that were

lame were healed, and there was great joy in the city. Amen,

if you would have God to help us tonight, Lord,

thank you for your mercy, your grace.

Thank you for the convicting spirit of God. We feel tonight.

We put our lives in your hands God, our words

in your hands, our actions in your hands.

Lord.

Under you God, do we commit everything.

God.

Let your will prosper, Let your word go forth and

not return void. Old God, let the anoughting destroy every yoke. God,

in Jesus' name, we beseech your old God, and thank

you for it.

Praise God. Helly Louis. I want to say, I'm most

thankful for this opportunity. Amen.

I love my pastor. Emen, my pastor could get done

in one exhortation. Amen, what it would take, Amen, if

I could what had take me five years of.

Sermons to get done.

Amen, I'll treasure my pastor our golden text here affords

a peak into the ministry of a very special man

of God.

This was Philip the evangelist.

I believe, if you look over a man, and if

you continue reading in Acts and get around Amen twenty

one and twenty two, this was a name Amen, that

might have been given him by Amen the writers. Amen,

when Apostle Paul a man came in contact with him.

And men.

Philip was a highly revered and respected man of God

by all the people. His ministry would have ran parallel

to that of the great Minister Stephen, as they were

set forth into the same ministry around the same time.

Amen.

They were set over the affairs of the church in Acts,

chapter number six and verse number five.

Amen.

And Philip begins to Amen, Minister, But here we find

him in in Samaria.

And Men.

Philip goes down to Samaria, those that have always been

considered less than, and he begins to preach Jesus Christ

unto them. His message would have probably went along alone

the lines of something like this, Amen, the life, the Death,

the burial, and the resurrection of Jesus Christ. For the

Bible said he preached Christ unto them, Amen, He would

would have preached a man believe, repent and be baptized.

Amen. Amen, this was something that we still must preach today. Amen.

He preached Christ under them.

And as Philip began to preach, revival breaks out in

Old Samaria. This is an awakening that begins in Samaria.

Amen.

As with demonstrations of God's power, he proclaims the promise Amen,

to fall in humanity.

Amen, Praise God.

Verse number seven and eight said, for unclean spirits crying

with loud voices came out of many that were possessed

with devils, and many taken with Paul's in that were

laying were healed, and there.

Was great joy in the city. Amen.

So here we see the revival Amen breaking out in

the city. It's wide reaching revival. Amen has come to town.

Here.

Everybody seems to be on board with the program.

Amen.

There's a wonderful atmosphere in some area.

Amen.

The atmosphere has been totally changed and charged by the

power of God.

Amen.

And we see that here Amen, in the beth of

Holiness Church. As God has called us to this wonderful

time of revival. Amen, As God has changed the atmosphere

and many services to align with his plan and his

will for those people.

Amen. You see, revival.

Atmospheres isn't just an atmosphere conducive for shouting.

Amen.

Is an atmosphereic conducive for repentance. It is an atmosphere

conducive for conviction the Amen. The Bible said, these people

got saved.

Amen.

So the atmosphere Amen, wasn't just them running the aisles

and shouting and.

Hooting and hollering.

Amen, but it was people stopping and realizing they've got

to make a choice, Amen, and making up their minds.

They're going to do what it takes Amen to experience

what they need. We witnessed the same manner of revival.

People have been gloriously saved and delivered sanctified and Amen,

rebaptized Amen.

Some would say they've been.

Resuscitated, They've been set on fire, Amen. Anew all the

signs of revival have been present in this revival. The

exhortations have been wonderful, the messages have been heartstirring, the

altar services have been life changing.

Amen.

So we see, Amen, the signs of revival have been

here this week.

Amen.

And mister Wendsy Amen, the last schedule night of revival

that we know of Amen, But the question would be, Amen,

how are you spiritually at the end of these series

of services?

Ayven, have you made progress? Aven? Have you let God

all to your life? Amen? In your life?

Has there been widespread impact and change?

Or are you still just the same? Amen?

I wonder about these Amen, the gathered in Samaria, and

we know if you read on further down here, even

the one you run into so often disgusted.

Wise, Simon the sorcerer. Amen. The Bible said Simon believed. Amen.

Simon understood the words of God. Amen.

He saw the power of God, and he decided he

believed and wanting to put his effort and his lot

in with these Amen that are having revival. Aymen, But

truly there was no heart change Amen. Truly there was

no salvation.

Amen.

He was with the hype and the emotion, seemingly, but

he had no relationship.

Amen. And at the end of this revival Amen.

For you, revival has been ineffective.

Amen.

If you have made it here tonight and there has

been no true spiritual change, Amen, no true Amen, true

working of God in your life on a personal level.

Amen. Hell, Hey, Loujah, Now.

There's two sides to this message, Amen, and I want

to look at I want to look at a very

integral part of what I'm going to try to preach

to you tonight.

Amen.

Read verse number three of chapter number eight with me,

if you would. The Bible said, as for Saul, he

made havoc of the church, entering into every house and

hailing men and women, committed them to prison. So simultaneously

there's revival in Samaria, but Saul he ain't got it.

Simultaneously God has literally saved an entire town, and Saul.

Nothing's happened for him. Brother Samuel, how.

While Simon enjoyed the manifold blessings of the Lord, others

were tied down to their selfish struggles and hindrances.

Right in the.

Middle of the greatest awakening this world has ever known.

God literally saving some area as a town as a whole.

How many people lived there and how many people were

saved here.

It was huge, It was magnificent.

It would have been broadcasted even when the boys and

the newsmen if they set it back then extracts to

read all about it. It had been there's revival down

in some area, Amen, and Saul would have heard about it.

They mean Saul would have been able to go down

to some area. He'd have been able to experience revival,

if he's so desired. Even for some reason, Saul had

no desire to go down there and partake of true revival.

They man, it was selfish motives. Even there were.

Selfish struggles, and there were hindrances in bold in his

life that he just.

Wasn't really ready. They mean to get rid.

Of theymen so revival. They have no interest to him.

Theyven now pouring of God in scenario theymn. It didn't

hold any value for him.

Amen.

So I wonder, Tony, had you put a value on

the golden scepter of God? They been in the revival

that has been worth even the spirit of revital that

has blown through this congregation.

Amen.

If Sarah and in this current state, they men would

have setten these views. They meant he would have had

no They men praised God's desire to experience what brother

Jessie failed a last night. The mena had no desire

to sing the wrong with you about going to heaven.

They mean, because he was focused on what's a ronia?

What he thought he needed? They been in revival.

They Ben didn't affect him, and revival affected you. Just

as long ay Man, as you stay Aymen in your mindset, Amen,

in your old nature and your old raise they.

Been, God will never truly change you.

So for as long as the Lord would help me,

I want to preach to you for a little while

on If it was my choice, If it was my choice,

it's easy to say, brother Jesse, if I could have

been sol I would have went on down to Samaria,

if I if it was if I got to you,

if it was God spoking me, if I was so,

and I'd have had to choose, I'd have made different decisions.

But that lion spirit.

That's got a hold of you has to sew booth

blind and deceived. Let you sit through the same manifestations

or the power of God, And would under preaching say,

I'd have made a different choice, and I'd have never

even murdered the kid the children of God. I'd have

never brugned my ears to the voice of Stephen. I'd

have never sruck not convention if it was my choice,

if I was him. But the truth is denied, the

same power of God has been its service after service,

And it is your choice and we've all the choice

you made. It's to be unaltered and unchanged and living

your dirty, even dingy, undespicable mindset. If it was your choice,

you'd go to hell because that's.

Where you're headed. If it was your choice, you do

it your way because that's what you're doing.

Man, If it was your choice, you'd be just like

Saul if I had been sold. If i'd have been sold,

I'd have waited on Samuel I feel was my choice.

I'd have gave him another hour. If it had been

my choice, I knew I can't do this without the

man of God. But then you come to these services

and you ignore the same voice of God that spoke

through Samuel. If you were Salve, you'd end up on

the same destitute, broken Amen, in dirty road, and your

last meal, if you were sol would still be with

a lich y man.

Let me tell you something. They men, If.

David, they men would have been put in saw shoes,

he'd have made different choices.

How do we know? Because the end of the story

tells a soul. Even the end of.

Our pastor's story tells us if he'd have been to you,

and if he'd have been his choice. Amen, already eymen,

nights and night ago, he'd repented. If it'd have been

brother Jesse, live it in your leather, your shoe leather.

If it had been a soy be a long time ago,

who would have said, half your lay with me? Oh God.

If it'd have been brother Sam, you're wrong time a

girl the man, he'd have made a different choice. Oh Saw,

you're hiding in the stuff, Saw, Oh Saw, you're living

in pretints, Saul, Oh Saw, you're still making bad choices.

Listener to the same spirits, Rectahunta, do both, sauls. If

it had been my choice and I was David's brothers,

when Golias started saying bad things about my God, I'd

have never gave David a chance.

But you're in this revival and I.

And those same Amen demonic powers a man have still

got your mindset.

And deluded Amen to where you won't.

Accept the fact of where you really are spiritually. Let

me tell you, if you'd have been David's brother, what

you'd have done. You'd have ran and carried her and

just rock Vadea. You'd have never killed Joe Elias.

Amen.

That was there, Goliath for the Samuel, that was theirs,

that was King Thar's Goliath.

I remember, if it was their choice, Raida left in Roy.

If it'd been their choice, Ray'd have left his head

on his shoulders and.

Revival at the revival.

God's let it be your choice, amen, And by the

next revival we're having to preach on yr Gola again

because no longer.

Kenna, David, take yo golias head off. It is now

your choice.

And let me see you make bad decision after bad decision. Oh,

they been not realizing because you under such oppression of

the devil. If it had been my choice, Yeah, words

are cheap. Words are very, very very cheap. If it

had been your choice, the outcome would have been Goliath

would have tormented God's people if it would have been

my choice. If it had been my choice and I

was Uticuts, Oh how I would have treasured the moment

Paul coming to my company. If it had been my choice,

I certainly wouldn't have distanced myself from the man of God.

Paul.

What a man of God, What a prestigious Amen, opportunity,

what a privilege to hear that man speak. If I

was Udicus, I certainly wouldn't have fell asleep while he

was talking to me. You realize you've got the finest

pastor of this side of heaven.

Amen.

If it was your choice, women, you'd sleep through the

service just like a ludicusser, because you'd make the same choices.

If it had been your choice, you would have failed

of your death, just like a ludicusser. Because right now

you're a falling. They've been straight down and down, they've

been towards your demise all the roles they been comparing

yourself to them. Let's saying I would have had a

different I wouldn't have bearing down that road. It up

been my choice. I would have done a different It

fit up been your choice. You would have been rotten

in the hell. It might have been your choice. You're stubborn.

Ways we're taking straight to hell.

Yeah, if I was in an eyous, if I was

in an ie, I wouldn't have tried to lie to

the Holy Ghost.

How many soroces have you come to this, amen, the

house of God and exhorted your thought process? It's the

sacred read Amen. And if you believe a lie, you

real be damned. And the Bible said they deceived. They're

old selves and a niaiser in this building the ny

you're making the same choice, riot to the holy ghost.

If I would have been Sapphara that had been my choice,

I wouldn't have went against the spirit of God. I

wouldn't have sided with my husband against Peter if that

was my choice.

Are you sure that because you're giving the same choice.

And in the days ahead you may very well live

the life of Sappharra. You may very well walk the

path of Sapharra if it was your choice. So you

tell me an amen, with tutors rolling down your face

while you speaking tongues.

If it was my choice, either toy aniah.

Sir, you and your LOUSI amen, excuse for a partner

in life? The devil can go jump in the lake

of fire and burn for a Remember the truth is

saphirah Win. It all comes down an It's all on

the line. If it was really your choice, Hemn what choice?

And then would you make? What would you choose? For

the bed you may, you shall lie in it?

Even the bed you make, you shall lie in it.

David said one time.

I believe.

I believe it was David said, if I make my

bed in hell, thou art there?

You know who made hell. God, did you know why

he made hell to torment? You could say God is

not there. But to the same magnitude, God will be

in heaven to see to it. Brother Jesse enjoys every

waking second. To this same level, God will make sure

Brother Samuel never ties cries another tear that he isn't

there to write. To the same level, God will heal

everybody that is broken. Amen from the Amen the addamic nature.

When sinning her the world and men begin to die

spiritually and physically.

There will be a daughter in Hell.

Amen, that makes sure every last person Amen, that didn't

go with him, that didn't choose him over the world

is storming it for every raking second, that every split second,

they have a reason to scream, and every time they

open their eyes they have a reason to rail, and

every time.

They take a breath they've got a reason to weaver.

Let me tell you, friend, you'll find God in hell

what you've made your choice, and he will be there

simply to market you Calamity of Lafe. When your trouble came,

he'll be there and mean to tell you and remind

you what a bad decision if you never one of

you but decide to go to hell.

Made.

If it was my choice, I wouldn't go there. Friend,

it is your choice. If I was the rich man,

I wouldn't have went there. You're about two, amen, a

half minute for finding yourself there. You're about to split

seconds or outside the motion of God from finding yourself

for writing in the same.

Even bad or told, that's the rich man has been.

If it was my choice, if it was my choice,

the free will of man, it's the edict of God.

That each and every one of us will choose.

And Joshua the Bible said, Joshua got beside himself a

little bit, and he said, if it seem evil, does

it seem evil for you to line up to the

word of God.

Burdensome? Does it kick against your ideology?

The minute you choose your thought process and exalted over

the words of God, you were on your way to

a devil's hell.

You have made your choice because the Bible said, let

God be.

True and every man be a liar, even in the

minute you say him in my thought processor. It's a

little bit different, Amen, than the interpretation of this verse.

Amen.

Friend, let me tell you you've made your choice, and

your choice quite simply is the devil's abode, the abode

of the dead, the abode of the damned, damn the rotter,

every lasting torment, overawed by who oversaw by your loving God.

If I was Paul, I would have packed my bags

and went for the week down the good old Samry.

We've been in a week of revival.

And if they had chose God by now, they would

have everything he has to offer. Any man that calls

on the name of the Lord shall be saved, any

man that chooses to do so. Do you realize Pilot

looked at Jesus in the face and asked him what

is truth?

How let me give you a crazy hair brain thought.

If Saul, in our text, Saul that came up became apostle,

Paul had been raised where you sit, brother Jesse, I

believe he would have never been God persecuting Saul. But

some of you are raised in this environment and around

this anointing, And if it was your choice, you're still

becoming him. How diabolical, demented and twisted could you possibly be?

Only the devil couldn't make you so stupid? Brother Houston said, So,

I'm just repeating the man of God and I see it.

My God, I get frustrated. I want to I want

you know why I wanted to title this message slapped sensible.

I've heard him say slap senseless. But my god, I

y'all would like the illustration I wanted for this sermon.

I'd like to just amen, slap some of you and

see if it helped. My god, you're praying with hell.

You're praying with eternal damnation and a temporal pressure of

a warm body. Even we'll keep you out of heaven

if it was your choice. Had a two minute penny,

all would keep you out of heaven if it's your choice,

My God, you are these slap six let's by now, God.

There's some slapping one of these days him, I got

a horse shutting out eye.

Yeah.

The Pharisees didn't think that it was truth either. The

devil made him that swap stupid did They listened to

him talk by the Samuel and still walked away saying

I'm right.

How do you listen to Jesus and walk away saying

I'm right.

If it was your choice and you were Caaphis, you

would a crucified him because your attitude and your mindset.

That's proving you are still killing him afresh.

If you were Caiphas, you'd have done it different.

You ryan devil, You still choose to go against the

written word of God, and you have the counsel of God.

You live in the full dispensation of grace, and you

choose to go otherwise, even than his word.

I don't know what Jesus looks like. I don't know

if he seemed to have a favorite color while he

walked the planet Earth we all tend to do. Maybe

there was a particular girdle Jesus war You know who

would have known? I don't know what color my Blessed

Savior's hair is.

But do you know who knew? Cayphus Annas.

They killed him after looking at him, after listening to

him talk, they got so deceitd that they were still

right and the Son of God was wrong. If it

was your choice. But now the spirit speaks expressly to

the church. Guipus didn't know the voice of the Holy Ghost.

He didn't know anything about tongues and interpretation. Would it

have changed him? Does it change you? Or are you

on the Are you of the spirit of your father?

The devil birth out of the lords of Hell. The

Bible said, those same people love to deceive.

And they would travel lond and see you to make

twofold the child of Hell, when they themselves were You

know that means they're some child of Hell and here

they exist. They're not extinct. They're coming to God's house.

Or say, if it was my choice, I wouldn't have

crucified him. You know what Cayphus would have told John

the Baptist. If Elijah walked up to me, if it

was my choice, I'd have heard everything he had to say.

If Jeremiah was preaching to me, I'd have heard everything

that man of God had to say. You realize, even

later on Cayphas and them would say those were prophets.

They would say those were men of God hearing from God.

But those people living in the generation with the other

crucified even them, soul to speaker.

They killed many of them.

And then Guyphus would say, if it was my choice,

I wouldn't have laid a finger off them. You've killed

the son of God. You see the chain of delusion

and deception here. Now it's Pastor Howe, and very much

so it could be her children that say, if Pastor

Howe was talking to me. I have believed everything he

had to say, May God forbid it. But the truth

is deception runs on and all we say I would

have accepted Jesus, we say I would have accepted Elijah.

We say I would have accepted Moses if it was

my choice. But then it's your choice in the house

of God to align with the words of God. And

somehow you're still in the same spiritual shape they were.

The rich men got the hell, and he said, send

somebody from the dead to talk to them. If Eldie

Moore materialized behind that pooh pit, you'd say, I believe it.

If Brother Parlcats stood here, you'd say, I'd listen to it.

Bless God.

That demon inside of you wouldn't like the words of

God from Eldie Moore, no more than it does Jerry Howell,

you're under the darker Amen' spell. I'm the sheef Sina.

It was your choice.

You the front gist all of the above. His word

is forever settled in heaven. Jesus said, they have the prophets, let.

Them hear them.

Have you.

It's your joice.

You're in this revival, and it's your choice. To come

into God as the spirit jaws? Why the baring altars?

How could they know what type of sandelsy war Brother Samuel?

How could they know how it fell to hear firsthand

the power boy, the prodigal son. How could Pila look

at him and say what is truth? How can you

come on Sunday morning and say what is truth? I

cannot discern it? When the Angel of the churches opens

the diviner rid of God to you and expounds thereupon

and shows you the perfect will of God. When you say,

if it had been my choice, there's no way I'd

or wrong the men of God of yester year. But

you prug your ears to the prophets of the day.

Even you prug your even your ears to the voice

of God when he speaks expressly, Yes you have the ears,

and yes you have eyes. But it's your choice. And

just like they did with Stephen, you plug your ears.

And then in the car right home you mest with

your teeth, and man, you brug your ears, and the

dinner table you mest with your teeth. You plug your ears. Amen,

And then in the bedchamber you mast with your teeth. Hey, man,

if it was your choice, you throw stones. And you know,

good Low, that spirit inside of you has made you

angry enough to dull when God has your number. And

if it was your choice and you had a mob

with you, you the dune stone, the preach.

Are, that's the Lord to help us deny Jeremia eight

and twenty.

The harvest is past, Pastor said, we've been getting allah.

Oh.

If I was brother how when he was young, I'd

have made those good choices. You are deceiving yourself. If

I was Brother Road Captain, confronted with the truth of

my sins, I'd have.

Got out of that lifestyle. You lying despicable devil.

You can't even see the truth in your own sins,

because that same mindset would travel with you.

You know, brother Caleb, how it is? Is it a

went rhythm?

They've been just like the people about amen, And you

would have plugged your ears and not that us to

hear what the spirit is saying. It's always been your choice,

It's always been your responsibility. You are the one required

to make the choice. I would that you be cold.

Or hot. There's so much in here that's already been said,

brother yesterday.

They won't hear it, though, how much can God confirm

the words of God that go forth from this poolpit

and we neglect to hear.

Be sensible? Be sensible.

You can chalk every Sunday morning, Sunday night, and Wednesday

night up the coincidences every time.

Be sensible. Don't be deceaved.

Wow, my God, because our lukewarm, I will spew me

out of my mouth.

What will you be?

It's your choice. You don't have to be cold, you

don't have to be look warm, nor do you have

to be hot. It's my choice. If I have a

prayer of life at home, it's my choice. If I

watch movies, it's my choice.

If I start my children young on cartoons, it's my choice.

What about you? Why are you doing with your children?

It's your choice.

You're getting a little comfortable shucking on the sewage wide.

I'm hell, my guy, know where that come from. But

let me talk to you.

It's your choice, and you're making the wrong one. If

you already know there's rebellion in there, you want to

do your dead level best to never start them on

the road that leads wrong. But it's gonna be hard

to get them off of it.

Be sets of all. I gotta move on.

Brother Samuel has the Holy Ghost. If it had been

my choice and I was him that night, i'd have

ran out the back door too.

Well.

Bless God, there's another lie you've told yourself, because God's

given you specific instructions, every last one of you, and

you're own your way to a devil's hell when you

choose wilfully to disobey the words of God.

If it was you, you would not be feeled the

Holy God.

You wouldn't be feeled five years from now or fifty

years from now you die. We're doubt him because your

track record tells us if there was your choice, I said,

you have stood.

There, can't cut a hold, no shot.

Shoot.

I'm trying to stay calm down a little bit. If

I was Brother Jesse, how long have you been playing

the piano?

Twelve, thirteen, fourteen years?

If I was Brother Jesse when God told me start

playing the piano that in fourteen years, I'd be just

as gifted as him. Lie, Because if you were going

to be you'd put forth the same effort. I'd have

just as much power of God's brother Caleb. Lie, because

you've been gifted the same Brother Caleb. They got the

same chance. God ain't blessed me with any more chance

than them. At your age, young man, it was normal

in my house of a two story house. I know

for my family to hear my voice coming down the stairs.

And if it was your choice, you'd be here tonight.

If it was your choice. Your choice barely has you

in t and with the spirit. When all churches shouting

building again things he once destroyed. You are a t

disgressor and you're.

On your way to hell. You've not got to hide

your hole here right, every weight and sin. If it

was your choice, you to lay.

You ryan, devil, you vifer, you righted, suffolcher. If Jesus

had talked to me, I had laid off amen, every

sin and wait. He has talked to you through the.

Man of God.

And you don't do it.

You don't want to hear me tonight, and you've got

all the reasons bouncing around in your head.

Well, I'm a crazy as.

A loon, I'm a young whipper snapper, but I know

the voice of the Lord when he gives me a message.

A young lady came and sat right there when I

was some of yours ages. She came in there when

I didn't know nothing about a letter she was bringing

the pastor, and I came and preached a message title.

You've gotten mail.

That little girl now he's on her way to hell

because she opened the mail. Friend, night as crazy as

a loud and I can hear the voice of God.

It's not a conside answer. And your brother in your

ears through the message, and you're destined for a destruction.

Be sensible. I took Rebecca. Rebecca helped us clean the

house a while back. She done an outstanding girl, a

job for a little girl. Cleaned the baseboard, scrubbed the

floors around toilets.

I mean, she's.

Renee and Ruth did okay, So I said, I give

them five dollars, and I gave Rebecca ten.

But I gave Renee and.

Ruth five one dollar bills and she got one ten

dollar bill. Her little heart was broke. I had defrauded her.

She didn't get as much as everybody else. And I thought, sister,

you've got five more than everybody else. Friend, I don't

care what hole in his church you name that you

get right in. You've got twice as much as they do.

Name me one hole in his church where the dead

have been raised, where the blinded eyes have been opened,

where cancer has been healed, where bearing wombs have been healed.

You name me one that's even got one.

And we've got everyone I just named, We've got twice

as much. And then time, and you won't hear the

spirit of God. It's just coincidence that the dead was raised.

No, it's not.

It's an example. It's Philip deal. And then when the

power of God is moving, the spirit of God is present.

But you ain't a willing for come the revival. You

ain't a willing Paul forget with the program that you're.

Gonna be a murderer after why all.

My point is this, and i'ma I'm gonna try to

get out of the way here. I'm about done. My

point is this revival. It's happening all around you. It's

accessible to you as a person and on an individual level.

But that does that will not save you. Luke seventeen

and thirty four. I tell Jesus all right, you won't

hear me. You ain't gonna hear.

Him because.

It can be a it can be a blind deaf

man sitting on the side of the road. And if

you know the voice of God. They that are they

that know the voice of God? Could hear him talk?

True?

Amen?

A man Amen, that can't see nor hear, and another voice.

They won't follow, But somehow they can't. If they ain't

following the voice of God, it's very obvious they're a goat.

Jesus said to you tonight, and to me, I tell

you in that night that there shall be two men.

This means people, there shall be two people in one bed.

One shall be taken and the others shall be left.

One of these days, if me or Rachel's wrong in

the middle of the night, we're gonna crack our eyes

and look over. And even though oh Revible happened to

this magnitude in Bethel, one of us is gonna be

left asleep. Your spouse may be right, and you may

be dead wrong, And.

You can use your spouse to justify you.

Oh you won't when it's just a measure of grace

for someone growing in grace.

Right.

One was right, one was wrong, One had revival, while

the other left with a empty basket. The Master did come,

and he did bid them dine. But it was their choice.

And we read this last Golden Texan I'm gonna get

out of the way here. And if it seemed evil

under you to serve the Lord, choose you this day

whom you will serve. If you don't like church at

the Bethel hole in his church, we'll still have revival.

You know, Saul didn't affect revival in Samaria. One taintsy wincy,

little old bit. Shoot, you won't affect our revival, one

little old bit. Ain't that sad?

You can writh in hell for the next twenty years,

and God still gonna shout this congregation just as mighty

and as powerful while you rise saying I was dead wrong.

I was dead wrong. I was dead wrong.

If it seem evil to you to serve the Lord,

choose you this day whom you will serve, whether the

gods which your fathers serve that were on the other

side of the flood, or the gods of the emirates

in whose land you dwell. But here's where it gets

down to it. But as for me and my house,

if it was my choice, we'd serve the Lord. As

for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

We will do everything he says. We will obey to

the maximum. We will be a Christian to the fullest.

We will not hold back in any regard. As for me,

I will be a servant, the best one Heaven's ever seen.

Joshua was saying, I'm gonna serve him.

Do what you want to do.

In essence, if you don't want to, certain, fine, but

quit pretending like you want to, Quit acting like you are.

You know who he learned to draw a line in

the sand with his pastor, Moses. Oh but if I

was a biroum, if I was Daithan, there's no way

out of sided against Moses. I don't know how to

ask them how they can be that stupid in words

that would make them realize they're real stupid. Right when

you side against this man of God, you're just as

dumb as a byrum.

You're just as idiotic as Daithan. Why was they an?

Why was the idiotic? Think about the miracles the man

had in his ministry.

Think about the manifestations of God, and they still sighted

against him.

How can you fight against the man of God when

you ain't yet had one convert? But your ways better?

Your family measures no way in comparison to the Man

of God, But your ways better?

Are you seriously, that dumb I'll make a man if

I have to. I mean, my god, it's not rocket science.

A dumb man can see it. A fool or a

wayfaring man will not air very a. But somehow you've

seen too.

Wcause you make.

Your choices contrary to what you know is truth in

your heart? Here go, what about how the heart?

Oh God, hey man, let's let's stand tonight. If it

was my choice to get saved like Apostle Paul did

after all his mistakes, I sure would have really, now,

you see, after all of that. And it came to

pass that as I made my journey and was come

nine to Damascus about noon, suddenly they're shone from having

a great light round about me. And I fell into

the ground and heard a voice saying, unto me, saw

why persecutest thou me? And I said, who art thou lord?

And he said, unto me, I am Jesus of Nazrath,

whom thou persecutest. And they that were with me saw

indeed the light, and we're afraid, but they heard not

the voice of him that spake unto me. Sister Raylan

got saved. We saw the light shine, and some of

us heard the voice speak, but some left after seeing

the same light and didn't seem to hear the same voice.

How are you hearing a different voice? How are you

not hearing the voice in the midst of all God

is doing?

There was men that walked away from that same encounter

Paul had without a conversion. They would have went on

to continue to drag men and women out of their

houses and throw them in jail. But Paul left change

because he heard the voice of God. If it was

your choice, where would you be? In Samaria? Great awakening

was going on. People were getting baptized, sanctified, and saved.

Could you imagine with me that woman at the well

becoming a member of evangelist Phillips Church with all her

past sins that Jesus told her never go do again,

and then she comes up and says, Oh, there's revival

in some area. Hey, it's my choice to attend. I

remember Jesus telling me He's gonna put a river in

my soul, and it's my choice.

Here I am, Brother Phil, pray for me, he said.

The woman at the well made her choice. Brother Peter,

what would your choice be to go out and weep bitterly.

If you were Peter, would it be to say I

was wrong? August twenty seventh, You're making your choice. The

pastor's not, the congregations not, God's not. You're making your choice.

Get God, brendad ah uh, he said, Friend Dickie SICKI

he shick, He said, I know thy works. Behold, I

have set before thee an open door, and no man

can shut it. He went on to say, I have

set before THEE life and death. It's your choice. And

a Naias, the one that lies to God, it's your choice,

a byrum Dathan, the one that exalts themselves above the

man of God. It's your choice. May God grant under

this people assign as he did Moses. And to that

one that dare differ from the words of our pastor.

If a normal death befall thee, but may God make

it obvious that he was right and you were wrong.

This was the prayer of a righteous man, Moses. Lord,

if you would do a new thing, let the ground

open and swallow them. Here right to Hikishi Kulman. You

have the prophets and you will not hear them. You

have the prophet MHM, and you will not hear him

prod ahead who shared r that hekid number who.

Here right a who.

Behold the feet of them that carried out such a one.

Wait at the door, he kiddo, you want to pray tonight,
