Do You Know Who Your Daddy Is? - Pastor J. D. Howell 4-1-2026

Brother Nathaniel Matthew, Chapter number twelve, Verses number forty six

through fifty. Brother Caleb Acts chapter number eleven, verse number

twenty six, and Brother Jesse Ruth Chapter number one and

verse number twenty And beloved, we will be reading Hebrews

chapter number eleven, Verses number twenty four through twenty nine.

Brother Nathaniel Matthew, Chapter number twelve, Verses number forty six

through fifty. Please, my brother, while he yet talked to

the people, behold his mother and brethren stood without desiring

to speak with him. Then one said unto him, behold

thy mother and thy brethren stand without desiring to speak

with thee. But he answered and said, unto him that

told him, who is my mother? And who are my brethren?

And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said,

behold my mother and my brethren. For whosoever shall do

the will of my Father, which is in heaven, the

same as my as my brother and sister and mother.

Amen.

I appreciate what Brother Robecap said about Jesus redefining family.

Aren't you glad you're part of the family of God?

Again preaching a message the Holy Ghost title do you

know who your daddy is, Brother Caleb acts chapter number

eleven and verse number twenty six, my brother.

And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch.

And it came to pass that a whole year they

assembled themselves with the church and taught much people, and

the disciples were called Christians.

First in Aneoch, praise the Lord. Two great missionaries, namely

the Great Apostle Paul and his trusty sidekick brother Barnabas,

went on a missionary trip and they ministered to Jewish

and Gentile believers, a mixed group of Jewish and Gentile believers,

for about twelve months. And after they administered to those

brothers and sisters in Christ, their family in God. They

were called Christians because these people favored their daddies so much.

They were so christ alike, all right, brother Jesse Ruth

chapter number one and verse number twenty And she said

under them, call me not Naomi, call me Mara, for

the Almighty had dealt very bitterly with me. And here

is Naomi. Most in this building are very familiar with

the story of Naomi and Ruth.

What a wonderful story.

But there came a point in Naomi's life where she

was having an identity crisis. And I'm afraid there are

some young people in our holiness of Pentecostal movements that

are having an identity crisis. Let's stand for the reading

of our text. Hebrews, chapter number eleven, verses number twenty

four through twenty nine. The Bible says by faith Moses,

when he was come to years, refused to be called

the son of Pharaoh's daughter, choosing rather to suffer affliction

with the people of God than to enjoy the pleasures

of sin for a season, esteeming the reproach of Christ's

greater riches than the treasures in Egypt. For he had

respect unto the recompense of the reward. By faith, he

forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king, for

he endured as seeing him who is invisible. Through faith,

he kept the passover and the sprinkling of blood, lest

he that destroyed the first born should touch them. By faith,

they passed through the red Sea as by dry land,

which the Egyptians is saying to do were drown. Let's pray,

Heavenly Father, we love and we praise you. We thank

you for the opportunity to be in the House of

the Lord tonight. We thank you for the way you

have ordered and orchestrated this service tonight. I know you're

speaking to some in this building, and perhaps some that

will listen at a later date and time. I pray

God that you would give me the things that you

would have me to say, the words that you would

have me to speak. Set a guard at my mouth, Lord,

set to guard at these people's ears and help them

to hear. Let them hear God what the Spirit of

God says unto the people tonight. Let not the messenger

get in the way of the message. I pray God,

may these sayings go below the shoulders, whether they saturate

that spirit and that soul. May we hear in heed

and take action to what we've heard.

Tonight.

We give you praise and honor and glory in Jesus's name.

And may we depart this place joyfully and not sorrowfully. Amen,

as you're being seated, look at your neighbor and say, hey, neighbor,

do you.

Know who your daddy is?

Amen?

I'm glad I know who my father is. Tonight, speaking

of my heavenly Father. Our text is found in a

New Testament Book of the Holy Bible, the Book of

Hebrews was the source of our Golden Text. During a

recent service and sermon that we heard last week, the

message was titled are you revolving or Evolving? In the

beginning of that message, I pointed out the purpose of

this epistle to prevent people from turning around and walking

back into their former lifestyles and religious practices. Precisely stated,

its purpose is to prevent Hebrew Christians from returning to Judaism.

Some were tempted to do so because of the severe

persecution that ensued after Jesus Christ had went to glory.

There was no doubt that many understood these believers were

enduring hardships. They were enduring great hardships, difficulties, and persecutions.

They were not being persecuted by the hands of the Egyptians,

but they were being persecuted by Hebrews.

It was Hebrews, it was family members.

They were being sorely tested, tempted and tried, and even

killed by their own family members, friends and former church

fellows and gals. It's a good thing the Lord Jesus

had prayed for their faith, as he had done for Peter,

his prayer was that their faith fell not years ago.

Right here in this building. I preached the message talking

about enduring faith. And at the end of that message,

I said, when the Son of Man comes, shall they

find faith on the earth. And one of the elder

sisters that was there at that time is here tonight.

And Sister Wooton was greatly moved. And for weeks following

that service, she would stand up and say, I've thought

a lot about that. Do I have enduring faith to

endure unto the end? And I praised the Lord for

what God done for her that night. I'm thankful for

what God has done in the hearts of every believer

in this building tonight. Now I wonder how the young

people in this church and in other Holiness and Pentecostal

churches would fare if persecution was to come upon the

soul of the United States of America tomorrow. Would they

have enduring faith? Would they have a faith that, even

though it may fracture or falter, that it would not found.

The Lord had a plan for our brother Peter and

the people of the Early Church, and Moses too, And

I believe that the Lord has a plan for every

person in this building tonight. But just because the Lord

has a plan doesn't mean that we will see it

come to fruition or that it will come to pass.

All throughout the Word of God, we see that phrase

or that expression concerning things that have been promised us

forthcoming events, and it would say, and it came to

pass just as the prophet has spoken, and it came

to pass just as the Holy Ghost had ordered orchestrat him.

Or it came to pass according to the will of

the fall. But because of the will of mankind and

a lot of cases, there were a lot of things

that never came to pass because people's faith was not

an enduring faith.

It was not a faith that would endure unto the end.

You may be saved and sanctified and Holy Ghost filled tonight,

But where will you be ten years from now? We

love to sing that song where will we be a

million years from now? But I don't know where some

of you will be. Six months from now. I don't

know where some of you will be four weeks from now.

I want to have faith in you. I want to

believe in you as your pastor, or as your spiritual

father or your natural father, or as your brother and

the Lord.

I want to.

Have faith like that to believe that you will endure

until the end of your lives. But brother Jesse, the

reason I'm preaching a life on these lines tonight, it's

because I feel like there are some that are weary

and well doing, and there's also some that are weary

in wrongdoing that would preach. If you look at this

Golden Text, it is found in a chapter which is

known by most Christians or believers as the faith chapter.

For the new people, the new converts. Here, I want

you to know that is a very special chapter in

the Word of God. So remember that it's known as

the faith a chapter or the Hall of the faithful,

not necessarily the hall of the famous or the hall

of fame, but the hall of the faithful. These people

were saved by faith, they lived by faith, they walked

by faith, not by sight, and they endured until the end,

and they refu used to lose their grip on their faith.

I'm gonna ask you the question, will your faith be

strong when the Son of Man returns? Let's look at

our golden text again. Hebrews, chapter number eleven and verse

number twenty four of the Bible said by faith Moses,

when he was come to years, refused to be called

the son of Pharaoh's daughter.

Did you notice the statement?

When he was come to years after he was mature,

when he was old enough to make his own decisions

and life of choices, he refused to stand in line

to the throne of Pharaoh of Egypt. Do you know

why he felt it best to refuse what many others

and possibly a handful in this building tonight would have perceived,

or would perceive, to be a golden opportunity, one which

should be embraced with both hands. Do you know why

he felt it best to refuse that? One reason for

this is because of the genuine painting of his father

and mother. When the Great Apostle Paul was writing to Timidate,

he spoke of the undisguised or the unpretending faith, and

of Timothy's family members, specifically that mother and that grandmother.

A lot of.

People have asked the question, where was his father the gentile?

In all of this?

A lot of Bible scholars believe that Timidy had a

Jewish mother and a gentile father. So this was a

young man that would have been pulled by different cultures.

This was a young man that would have heard ideologies

of other religions, Brother Philip, perhaps he had even been

somewhat from me, with pagan practices of various religions. But

because of the faith of his grandmother and his mother,

this young man had something that a lot of other

people did not possess.

An apostle Paul knew this.

The Bible said, to train these young people up in

the way that they should go, and when they grow old,

they will not depart from it. What will they not

depart from the faith and the knowledge of the word

of God. This past week, sister Wood stood up and

spoke of her backslidden daughter. Those are not my words,

those are her words.

She said.

My daughter knows to do good, and she chooses not

to do it. But she knows the power of God

is real. She knows the blood of Jesus has not

lost its power. And when God moved in a situation

recently without hesitation, her daughter said, I know it was

the handy worker.

Of God Allmighty.

What would cause a backslid daughter to speak such things

as this is because she has a faith inside of

their The seeds of faith and have been planted, and

so had it been in the life of Timothy as

well as in the life of Moses. Brothers and fathers,

you have a very important role.

To play in this.

I dare say there would be a lot of young

people in the Holiness and Pentecostal movement struggling if tomorrow

the President of the United States of America was to

offer you adoption papers and to tell you he would

bring you into his family, that he would make you

a millionaire or a billionaire hoever night, and that you

would never have a moment of lack or want in

your future. Again, there's people in this building tonight and

in a lot of Holiness and Pentecostal churches who would

accept such an opportunity.

Some would say, well, I'll accept and lived that.

Lifestyle for a space of time, that our reverse course

and get back on track.

It does not work that way.

We can find that in an example of Moses, and

Moses knew that when the time came that he had

to make a decision, he had to make the right decision.

He had seen his mother pray over him countless hours

throughout the years.

There's no doubt Miss jacobed.

Knew that God had anointed Moses for something greater than

flooding in an Arkabul Russians in the crocodile infesta Nile River.

There's no doubt she knew that God has something greater

for the life of Moses than to be brought up

in the house of Pharaoh. Come on, and there's no

doubt at all of Moses. And while being nursed and

trained and raised by his mother, he fell in love

with the God of the Hebrews. And at that time

he would have understood that the God of the Hebrews

is one god, and his name is Yahweh, and that

Yahweh said, you better not put another god between me

and you. You see, Moses was learning all of the

right things, He was acing all of the right lessons.

And for a space of time, Fetteressaniel, because jacobed his mother.

Had an enduring faith.

And at some point when Pharaoh told all of them

midwives to cast that you Jewish babies into the crocodile infestin,

now she knew, even though the crocodiles are familiar with

these little, tiny by sized Jewish carcasses, and I can

put that little archib Ussians in that ribber and trust

and my God concerning his plan for his people. Because

anybody that can say without hesitation or reservation that he

is their God, if.

You would, he is their daddy.

You know that your daddy has a plan for your life,

and that plan includes protection and provision.

Are you getting it now?

You see the faith of Moses's parents and her evident

right here in this eleven chapter of the Book of Hebrews.

Before you see the faith of Moses coming into place.

So, brother Nathaniel, we.

Know that Moses's sister, Miriam, she had stood riverside on

the bank.

Of the Nile and watched her.

That's fair, Roa's daughter and her court members had went

out to bathe themselves, and she stood there, and there

was an eyewitness as they approached the little archibu Russian's

where her little baby brother was. And sister, how there's

no doubt Miriam had a lot of faith in your

way or a lot of faith in God when she

approached Pharaoh's daughter, and as wileye and as cunning as

the serpent in the garden, she deceived Farroh's daughter. Can

I tell you that she began to tell Farroh's daughter,

how are you gonna take care of this?

A little baby.

You need a wet nurse, and you need a Hebrew

mother that he even know them babies have been discared

did the somehow mi recklessly? She is producing substance for

this little baby. You need me to find somebody that

will nurture and train this child up until you can

handle him and marry him by faith.

Took Moses and over there to his own.

Natural mama, and natural mama began to teach Moses and

how to speak Hebrew. Moses's natural mama begin to teach

her and Moses about your way and about the God

of the Patriarchs. There has no doubt he learned the

name of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob. Has no doubt.

Probably by the age of private he had learned about

how they ended up in such an awful place. There's

no doubt he had already learned about the boundary lines

that designated the land of God people. And I'm not

talking about Ghoshing, and I'm talking about Canaan land. You see,

early on, somebody was building up his faith.

They were not destroying his faith.

And after a season of training, he grew, just as

Jesus grew in stature, just as Jesus grew before men,

Moses grew, and Moses's mother brought Moses and to Pharaoh's

daughter as he became her son. In Nextodus, chapter number

two and verse number ten, you'll find the record of

this event. Now, you think with me how much faith

it took in the heart.

Of Moses's mother to release her.

Gripping on that boy and to control her emotions and

not attempt to run away with him. She had no regret,

Just like later on in Jewish history, you'd.

Find the Hannah had no regret on what she had done.

Concerned as Samuel when she brought him to Eli, and

in the presence of Elis we concerns.

She dedicated him to God, knowing that.

God could keith Samuel in the midst of such an

extreme hypocrisy. And I want you to know, when natural

Hebrew woman, if you were turned over Moses to Pharaoh's daughter,

she had a faith in her God. She knew who

her people was, she knew who her God was, and

she knew who.

Her father was.

Young men right now in the Holiness movement, Pentecostal movement,

and some even in this building right now that if

such an opportunity was to present itself, we would lose

them be gone. If a beautiful woman was to present

herself to some of these young men in this building,

it's quite possible that they wouldn't make it to the

Sunday morning service if the opportunity to Inherit a business,

and it's just doubling its assets, increasing this revenue on

a monthly basis. There's some in this building that would say,

I'll see you, pastor I love you. You See, the

very best education that an Egyptian could get was at

moses fingertips, and the best Egyptian on trees available in

all the land of Egypt, or at Moses's finger tips.

And immediately, right then and there, he feels pressure.

Right then and there, he feels pressure. His faith is

endearing a stress test.

Right then and there, whenever Jacobed walks out and she

transfers ownership of Moses to Pharaoh's daughter, who rocked in

when the gods in the courtroom begin to sleut Moses

as a prince. Rocked in in that moment when they

bring the Egyptian garments to put upon a prince. Right there,

in that moment, when the tutors and the mentors the

finest in Egypt or present, and the caterers are there,

the minister to his every heart's desire, who rocked in

his faith and is put to the test. We've heard

it some time and again. The God on the mountain

is God in the valley. I've seen people serve God

in the beauty of holiness, and come on, I see

them worship Him in spirit and the intrusion as long

as they're on the mountain. But when it comes timer

to walk through the valley, that is the moment when.

Their fate is really put to the test.

You can look at me right now, and so can

some of our holiness and Pentecostal preachers who say they

are not for Sah.

But you and I know they are for Sah.

And they can shake their head and say, if I

was offered this, but if I was offered doctor, I.

Would not sell my soul. I want you to know.

I don't know what age it was when jacobed dropped

him off. It could have been the age of five.

It could have been the age of seven. It could

have been the age of Tina. It could have been

the age of thirteen. But it's some part this young

man Realiza Phiroha is not my grandpa, come on now,

and Phioah's daughter, it is not my mama.

I'm asking you here to night. Do you know who

your daddy is? Because if you really, I truly knew

and believed.

He was your daddy, there would be no price that

could be paid to buy you. There's a lot of

people if they owned that piece of Christine real estate

adjacent to Ahab's palace, they would say for sale.

I've heard them say for years. I'm not for sale.

I've heard them cry, talk about it, sing it, and

come to church and testify about it when they're on

the mountaintop. But then, sister, how you give it about

six months and you realize they're gone? Where are they?

That cannot be set about Moses. It is evident that

Moses at some point realized after he had come to

age am come to make his own decisions. He would

go out and check on his people and brother Nathaniel.

According to the Great Deacon who was anointed full of

faith and full of the Holy Ghost, Stephens said, by

the age of thirty, Moses knew who his daddy was,

and he knew who his people was, and Moses had

walked out of the palace and walked down them beautiful stairs. Hey,

brother Jesse, And he walked past the upper class and

pass the middle class, and got out there in the

land of Goshen, and got to looking.

To see, how are my people doing?

How are my people pairing under the tyranny of my grandpa?

How are they doing?

And the Bible said, he beheld one of those tyrants

beating one of his Hebrew brothers. And there's no doubt.

He tried diplomacy at first, and he said, hey, they

ain't done you wrong. They ain't done Egypt wrong. They

built the house of Mama. These are nothing but good people.

The harder they worcome, the more you increase the labor

and sister. How when diplomacy didn't work, that old ty

looked at somebody he should have respected him. He looked

at somebody that should have had authority. It was a

prince of Egypt standing there. It was not a guard.

Come on now, it was not a lowly taskmaster. And

that God decided to fight him, the prince of Egypt.

I'll tell you what happens when you decide the tangle

and wrestle with the prince of Egypt, that one that

has been schooled by great generals, that one that has

the very best of military training. I'll tell you what

happens when you're raingo and get tangled up with a

man like that. You end up losing your life and

you end up in a shallow grave in Egyptian sand.

And that's exactly what happened. Moses knew who he was,

Moses knew who is people he is.

And now I'm at my message.

I want to tell you here tonight, whipper snapper, I

am not a shamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

I'm not ashamed of this holiness, lifestyle and factor. I'm

okay when my life trices. I'm okay with the trust

coder my wife and I have embraced.

And I'm certainly okay with my faith in God.

With the world, there's nothing but seek and saying I

can stand the rock solid faith here in God. Brother Jesse,

he had dual identities, dual identities?

Who am I?

Who am I?

Who am I?

Brother rod Cap testified just before I preach about Jesus

scolding some and one of our brothers read it as

our cod text Jesus said, you're not looking at this

the right way. Those people that are not biological family members,

those people that are not blood ken, those are my people.

That's mama, that's my brother, that's my sister, that's my daddy.

What brother rod Cap didn't know is his own son

has said the very same thing to me.

And I realized it is an honor.

To have sons in the faith like that, namely Justin

road Cap and his son, Caleb Rodcap. Do you see

how the family of God begins to grow? I know

that Elijah was not the natural father or the biological

father of Elisha. We have read the story where Elisha

went told his parents goodbye. Y'all heard about that, right,

and you know what his father was. Elijah later on

the national leader of Israel with crowd and say this

spiritual juggernaut was my father.

Elisha would say, my father.

Everybody speaking of Elijah, the Prophet of Fire as their father.

I am okay with us overlooking certain family members, friends

and foes who want their faith to go from being

fractured and faltering the failing. I'm okay for those that

are forsaking the holiness way, not being.

A family member. I pray for them. I ask God

to save them.

I ask God to sanctify them and fill them with

the Holy GHOSTIP, and I ask them to bring them

to their right mind. I asked God to do as

he did for Moses. Allow them to come to themselves

and look once again. Let them elder sisters in our churches,

and them elder preacher, brethren in our churches, and them

elder brethren, and say, I'm okay with that being my people,

I'm okay with that.

Come on now, I'm talking to some of you here tonight.

If Sister Wood was to die Tomar, this sister How

was to die Tomar, if I was to die tomorrow,

you'd be surprised how many in the building, how many

neighboring churches would lose out with God because them, they

would not feel bad about a one bit for turning

away from the faith of their grandma, of their grandfather,

of the elder of the pastor health. In fact, some

are just waiting for somebody to die so they can

compromise her, so they can live according to their own faith.

I'm telling y'all seen it for years. They wait until.

Their mother of faith dies.

They wait until their father of faith dies and they

make adjustments, and they live just a lot the world.

I tell you what that is. That's called losing your faith.

That's called losing your way. That's called your faith failing.

There's some I'm telling you what, brother Jessee, they're just

waiting on getting a new family.

Do you know who your daddy is?

One time Jesus speaking to somebody, he said, you're of

your father, the devil. If you've got to sin problem,

you got the wrong daddy. Do you know who your

daddy is? I tell you You'll always have your daddy's eyes,

you always have your daddy's outlook, you always have your

daddy's feelings. That's what Paul and Barnabus noticed about the

Christians had Antioch, that mix of Jewish and gentile believers.

When all was said and done, they needed a new identity.

They needed to.

Be called something other than a mix of Jewish and

gentile believers. And basically they said, just call us Christians,

becalls them. We want to be like our big brother,

we want to be like our heavenly father. I don't

understand why the struggle to live holdin us anymore and holdin.

Us of Penecostal churches.

I don't understand the struggle to love sactification and the

doctrine of sactification and the teachers they're.

Up any more.

Lord, you know what it is they have not being

a new creature born out of the Lords of God.

When you're the offspring of God and you know who

your daddy is, I'm asking.

You here tonight, do you know who your daddy is?

There is a thirty two year old young man in

this building whom I love dearly that I've had an

influence in his life for twenty years. He does not

know who is natural biological father is. He just said that,

even in today's time, with DNA technology like it is today,

he has not yet ventured into.

Trying to find out who his father is.

I can tell you it would be easily done if

he really had a mind to do it, if he

was willing to spend the money in He'd be surprised

just how quickly he could find out who.

His father is.

Moses went beyond being the prince of Pharaoh's court.

He went beyond possibly being the pharaoh of Egypt. Where

are you at right now?

How not gonna tribe you to the altar and say God,

I can't even stand just the hypocritsa.

On the tribe.

Oh, come on now, the choice is be Moses the

leader of the Hebrews or be the pharaoh of Egypt.

It sounds like a hard.

Decision, doesn't it do? But Moses would say no, it's

not hard at all. Job opportunities after job opportunities have

passed by my desk since I took the pastorate here

and says to how has watched me? Throw it in

the garbage can? Because it's not even up for consideration.

I don't even consider it an option. I don't even

consider it a choice something worth choosing between. Come on,

which sandals are you gonna wear?

Oh?

Come on now, which sandals are you gonna wear? Which

sandals do you wanna wear? Which garment do you wanna

wear it? Which garment do you wanna wear it? How

do you want to be known out there in the

general public? How do you want your obituary to read?

How do you want people to look at you? Who

do you want them to call you? Moses could say,

am I Hebrew? Or am I an Egyptian? Who are

you tonight? Are you a child of God? Or a

child of the devil? Will you be the next ruler

of Egypt, Moses? And or will you lead God's people

out of such a wicked place? And that's what I

want to ask some young men and some young women

in this building today, and also some in the holiness

and the Pentecostal movements, of what will you be to

somebody else? Will you lead them into Egyptsuan cat timody, Oh,

will you lead them out exile and lead them into

Canaan's land? Hebrews, chapter number eleven, verse number twenty four

said by faith Moses, when he was come to years,

refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter. And

that word refuses the same word that was used when

it said the Jews refused to let Jesus off.

Away with him strongly rejected.

It wasn't well, let me think you about it with

a possum smirk. H. They must think I have a

lot of potential. There's one young man in this church

right now. I'm thinking of, Wow, what an author. I'm flattered. Wow, Wow, Wow,

you consider me, you consider me, you consider me. Wow,

I'm flattered. I'm honored. He refused the same way. Stephen

refused to denounce Jesus Christ as his savior. He refused,

you ain't my mama, and you.

Ain't my grandpa.

And you, whoever you are, you ain't my daddy. Wherever

you're at in that palace, unnamed, you ain't my daddy.

This ain't the way of our people. We're holy people,

we're modest people. Moses would go on and tell his

people we got a moral law. Moses would go on

to tell people. God's holy and he don't want us

being polytheistic in our views and beliefs.

He wants us to serve one God. And Brother Jesse, this.

Is what God began to deal with me about when

God gave me this message.

How long haults you between two opinions? Whose child are you?

Anyway? There's been people that's had DNA tests run on

their kids, and then it's surprise, surprise, surprise. Mama was unfaithful.

It's gonna come out.

Lord. You were my daddy. You walk up and down

our ass.

We saw miracles performed by you and Daddy, and Jesus

looks at them and says, who are you? You had

a steeple on that building. You had pews instead of chairs.

You had a copy the King James translation, you didn't

miss Sunday school.

But who are you? Who are you really? And I'm

asking some in this building tonight and some that were

listening in the future, who do you belong to? Who

are you really? Whose child are you?

I got so much more I want to preach, but

I feel like the Holy Ghost is bringing me to

this point right here. Ruth had no problem with getting

a new family, brother, Rocap and Naomi. When she came home,

she admitted, you might as well call me Naomi to

mob bitess. She wasn't a hypocrite like some were dealing

within the holiness movement. They can't decide that they want

to be one of Pentecostal snake candlers. You can tell

by the way they dance on their platform, where their

fake dances people grinning and smirking and laughing. We were

afraid to act like that when old Grandma Gertrude or

Papa Peter just using a few different names with shouting

in the spirit of God, we was afraid we'd get cursed. Laughing,

somebody says, the joy of the Lord. I'm so happy

they're getting blessed. That's not Anybody can dance like that.

Anybody can cut a rug, anybody can do a little jig.

Anybody can plagiarize somebody's sermon. Anybody can get up and

read things word for word and move people. That's when

you have the wrong Daddy. The wrong people like that

kind of stuff. And I've come to the place where

I'm okay with saying those aren't my people. It's because

they don't have the power. They have a form and

they don't have the power. And at some point, when

you proclaim to be something you're not, and everybody that's

been raised around it, we know God's people.

They shout.

We know God's people.

When the Holy Ghost moves, they speak on tongues as

the spirit gets the others. We know God's people. They

dance in the spirit when God moves upon them. And

so as long as they're using the name Pentecostal, they're

going to have to eventually pretend to shout and fake

a dance. And you know what, hypocrites of the wrong

spirit and the wrong Father, they'd welcome that. That's great,

that's dancing. David did not dance before the people. He

danced before the Lord. And Naomi, she came home, and

when people addressed her as one of them, Naomi, the

pleasant one, she stopped them in their mid sentence and said,

don't you call me Naomi?

Says God, What was that?

The Lord said? And Second Samuel six around verses fourteen

through sixteen something about and David dance before the Lord

with all his might. And David was girded with a

linen ephod. David dance before the Lord, not before men.

He was worshiping the Lord. He wasn't entertaining, he wasn't

trying to be funny. He was being serious and worshiping

the Lord. Thanking God for the real spirit of God

being in their midst once again, after all of those years,

it was in their midst. Once again. We praise the Lord.

We will not trade anointing for talent. We will not

trade an anointed atmosphere for an entertained atmosphere.
