The K.I.S.S. Principle (Keep It Simple Saint) - Pastor J. D. Howell 1-21-2026

And I want to preach a message the Holy Ghost

title the kiss principle, keep it simple, Saint, Keep it simple, Saint.

And if you prefer a title like this one, the

plainness principle, the plainness principle. If you have your Bibles,

will you turn with me to the Book of Habacic

chapter number two, verses number one through four. Please, Brother Samuel,

Second Corinthians, chapter number six and verse number two. Brother Nathaniel,

first Desalonians, Chapter number one and six, and Brother Tyler,

second corinth Ens, Chapter number three and verses number twelve

through fourteen, Brother Samuel, would you read that for us

Second Corinthians six and two.

For he saith, I have heard THEE in a time accepted,

and in the day of salvation. I have suckered THEE

because behold now is the accepted time. Behold, now is

the day of salvation.

I want to tell you that God has been speaking

to that now is the accepted time. Behold, this moment

is your time of salvation. Brother Nathaniel, firstusalone ends, chapter

number one and verse number six. And he became followers

of us and of the Lord, having received the word

and much affliction with the joy of the Holy Ghost,

praise the Lord. Brother Tyler, Second Corinthian's chapter number three,

verses number twelve through fourteen.

Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great

plainness of speech, and not as Moses, which put a

veil over his face, that the children of Israel could

not steadfastly look to the end of that which is abolished,

but their minds were blinded, for until this day remaineth

the same veil untaken away in the reading of the

Old Testament, which veil is done away in.

Christ Amen, not as Moses wearing a veil, but with

great plainness of speech. It's clear for anyone to see

that God is speaking to sum within the Bethel Holiness Church.

And this service, this moment is your moment of salvation.

Let's stand for the reading of our golden text. Tobacca,

chapter number two, verses number one through four.

The Bible says, I will.

Stand upon my watch and set me upon the tower,

and will watch to see what he will say unto me,

and what I shall answer when I am reproved. And

the Lord answered me and said, write the vision and

make it plain upon tables, that he may run that

readeth it. For the vision as yet for an appointed time.

But at the end it shall speak and not lie.

Though at tarry wait for it, because it will surely come.

It will not terry.

Behold, his soul, which is lifted up, is not upriting him.

But the just shall live by faith. Looking at verse

number two, and the Lord answered me and said, write

the vision and make it plain upon tables that he

may run that readeth it. Make it plain. Let's pray,

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

you for the opportunity to be in your house tonight.

I thank you for this precious people, each one of them, Lord,

that has chosen to be in your house tonight, to

hear your word, to sing the songs of Zion with

their brothers and sisters of light precious faith. I thank

you for the anointed singing we heard tonight, the anointed

exhortations and admonishments of Brother Nathaniel and Brother Philip.

I pray that you would annoy it.

This thy servant, set a guard at my mouth, and

help me to say the things you would have me

to say, nothing more or less, annoy the ears of

this people, that they might hear what the spirit of

God says unto the church, and may we depart this

place joyfully and not sorrowfully.

In Jesus' name.

In the church said heymen, look at your neighbor and say, hey, neighbor,

keep it simple, Amen.

May God help us to do so.

Our text is found in an Old Testament book of

the Holy Bible. The Book of Habaccic is a book

written by man with a burden. The Bible readers and

students among us tonight know why this prophet of God

was so heavily burden. He was burdened because he knew

the Lord was bothered by the things he the Lord saw,

and some things were bothering this man of God as well.

In recent weeks, I've been able to tell that some

of our Sunday school teachers have been quite stirred in

their spirit because of a disbe amongst a few in

this particular House of God, amongst this people of God,

they have descerned that there are two or three of

our young adults and young people that are not fully

committed to the work and the will of God. For

whatever reason, they are dangerously distracted. And because of these

dangerous distractions, they have taken detours that have caused them

to be on ways that lead to destruction. And since

the roots, some of them feel like they are on

a right path. You can tell when you look upon

their life and you look upon some of the things

that they're doing, you can tell, for the most part

that they possess some sort of artificial assurance.

That they are okay.

But I'm concerned as well because I sense a lack

of sincerity and humility concerning their steps.

They're not taking the right steps.

Sometimes we know that God requires us to step back

and reassess our situation. Sometimes we need to step back,

and Brother Caleb, we need to walk back in order

to get back on track.

And I'm concerned that some are unwilling to.

Walk back and see how did they miss it and

where did they miss it. In my life of nearly

fifty years, there's been many times that I have backtracked

because I felt a need to do so. And at

a point where I was being misdirected by a minister,

or by a spirit, or even by my own deceitful heart,

I knelt down and made an altar right there in

the sand and said, God, thank you for allowing me

to see my spiritual condition, and in humility and through sincerity,

I said, God, be merciful to me and allow me

to once again walk in a plane path. And I

thank God for this plain path that we're walking on

that does not lead to destruction. And there is a

way that seemeth right to this three or four young people.

But the end is destruction. Everybody in the building knows it.

In fact, Brother Nathaniel and Brother Samuel said this past

Sunday night was the greatest service in the Bethel Holiness

Church's history. And I must wholeheartedly concur with that statement,

for I have been here that entire length of time,

and one of the elders of our church that has

been here for as long as I have been here.

She said as well. It was just spectacular. There was

something beyond somebody saying thank God for the sweet Holy Ghost,

thank God for the Spirit of God that I feel

and that lives within me. There was greater power and

greater grace as our pastor had preached that morning upon

the Saints of God.

That night, and even though the Spirit of God.

Was moving in a greater measure, you could tell that

God was dealing with a handful amongst the seventy or

fiber eighted that was present that they needed to resept

their mindset, that they needed to backtrap.

They needed to build an altar under God and.

Repent of some things, including a sour and bad attitude.

The prophet Hubachik felt the same way about the nation

of Israel during his lifetime. He reached this past Sunday night,

prior to us having that wonderful altar service about the

Great Man of God at Daniel. How he was distinguished

amongst his peers and contemporaries because within him was an

excellent spirit. And I believe within all of the children

of God there ought to be an excellent spirit. Everyone

this blood ball and born again ought to possess an

excellent spirit. And so Hubakik looked upon the people of

his generation, and he realizes the same thing that the

Prophet Jeremiah realized. For he too, lived in a time

prior to Nebuka Nezzar coming in and pummiting the city

of Judah to power to powder. He felt like a

judgment was coming, just like the Prophet Jeremiah felt to

be so. And he knew that there are people that

are not going to be an exception to the rule,

and there's people that are not going to escape the

judgment of God. And so Jeremih is preaching in his

post of duty, and the prophet Habaki is preaching in

his post of duty, and they're preaching the same message

that the disobedient Israelites are going to face judgment and

ultimately the.

Wrath of Almighty God.

And these being of God, they realize them that what's

bothering God is now bothering them. And I feel like

there's some elders and ministers in this church, even though

we have been blessed with greater power and greater grace

of late, that we are bothered about them. Your state

of of peers and your state of mind. It bothers

me extremely when I come to the poolpit repeatedly and

service after service, and I detect that there's a handful

of people that just do not want to align themselves

and with the word of God. The prophets Jeremiah and

Habacic were no doubt peers and or contemporaries. They're preaching

around the same period of time, and they're preaching the

same message. And I paraphraise that God knows and these people.

Are cruising for a bruising, and.

These prophets are weeping prophets, and they are definitely troubler

about what is going to come upon the people of

God and winning when many refusing to intercede on the

behalf of their brothers and sisters. And these two men

of God are willing to be intercessors. And so let's

focus more on Habackkan because we're looking at his brief

writing tonight. As you read through this book of the Bible,

you see that this man is sick and tired of

seeing God's voice silenced them.

For the Israelites because of their sin.

We know that there were various periods in the nation

of Israel's history where God grew silent and because of

his disapproval for their disobedience to his commandments. Every person

in this building tonight could tell us that whenever their

parents got quiet, sometimes they wanted to know and what

was it that idead that upset them? And Harbacchic is

sick and tired of the violence of the voice of God.

He wants to hear God speak of blessings upon his people.

I want to see God bless her each and every

person that is a member of the best of Holiness church,

where her back ex senses that something horrible is on

the horizon, and the words of his sermons aligned perfectly

with the sermons of the prophet Jeremiah. For the most part,

those people are for a pride, and they are disobedient.

This past Sunday night was probably our greatest service in

our history. But dearing that mighty move of God, I

felt a sense of urgency to tell somebody your.

Time is about out.

While brother Samuel Howell came over to my house the

last night to share with me some wonderful things that

took place in his life, and some of the other

young men they had apparently got together on Monday and

had talked about all the wonderful things that God had

done for them.

Listen, Harbacca would have.

Loved to be able to say, you people have come

together with one purpose in mind, and that is true

total obedience, to sing the praises of God and to

receive a blessing. But har Bacca is not in a

position to say this, for he, as a man of God,

mustn't use plainness. Her speech tonight a golden text. This

Orbacca chapter number two and verse number three. At some point,

our sister Habacca, come for the vision as yet for

an appointed time. But at that time you shall speak,

and shall not lie, though it tarry, wait for it,

because it will surely come.

Oh, come on now, I'm telling some of you here

to night.

Don't let the blessings of your brothers and sisters and

rock you into complacency. And I remember for years hearing

people say to one another, what a great service we

had tonight, And as an honest, herded young man who

was not preaching him, I.

Would go home and consider their words. And one of the.

Words that I had a problem with was the word we,

because I knew that night marks thirty or forty, only

two or three genuine pure vanilla blue ribbon dedicated to

voteed Committee. Satsan had really got her life altering and

a life changing blessing. But there were people that were

okay to say we had a great service tonight. The

nation of Israel will soon find out that Habacco is saying,

you're gonna pay for your sin. We're gonna face the

cots of quts for what you're doing that when you

were not around the people of God. I feel like

preaching right on through this persistent sickness, hey man, And

so you got seventy people that say and praise God.

Revival is here, spontaneous revival is about to outbreak. But

then you have God hanging little signs over the head

of some individuals and he's saying, there's appointed times for

those individuals. There is going to come a time when

the judgment of God overshadows you, and the lightning bolts

they come out of the judgment cloud and.

Strike you personally. Come on, you.

Don't feel like it, but you have tarried long enough,

and you have waited long enough.

But you know that's what our tech said. It will

not tarry. There is an appointed time.

This man of God had occupied his post faithfully, and

he had remained in his appointed place and all the while,

if you would, Brother Nathaniel, he's walking into that fellowship, Paul,

he's pulling that lecturing out, while Brother Rocap is pulling

one out in the Saint SOVERI and those two men

with a burdening of vision, they are teaching the people

the best the holiness concerning things that God has put

on their heart. I song leader, the Lovely Sister Charity

and she walks up the steps of the platform and

tells us to turn the page number so and so,

and we're singing the blessed songs that were compiled by

the Church of God in their hymn book. But sister

Wood and Habacco, he's doing the same thing.

But he notices concerning some.

God has got nothing at all to say concerning good

things in their life. Forthcoming is relatza that a repeatedly

invertedly this sobeyed God. They're gonna face consequences for sin.

And there some of you repeatedly, intentionally, deliberately, and most

definitely choosing no wilfully and disurbey the commandments of God

when it comes to worship. And God use great plainness

of speech through the poets and the symist.

And he said, clap your hands.

You don't need a dictionary to know the definition of

the world. Clap in another place another man using great

plainness of speech, and he said, lift up your voice,

and how's a trumpet? And that's what Apostle Paul said

to the Corinthian Church that Second Corinthians and chapter number three,

around verses number twelve and through verse number fourteen, he said,

there may have been a day when your people were

wondering in the elderness, when you have questions about Moses's

encounter in the mount, when you have Christians and about

the experience. But you knew his face was glowing. And

yes it might have been shrouded.

In a veil.

But Paul said, I'm not here shrouded in a veil,

and my gospel is no longer. Here were great plainness

of speech. I'm telling you that Jesus said he died,

he was buried, and he was were erected.

I want you to know.

The gospel is that Sepa, let you humble yourself under God.

And God will left you up. He said.

I remember being a little boy like brother Marca is tonight,

sitting on the pews of that old Church of God

that I attended, and I think for the most part,

they're not even having services in there anymore. I remember

visiting the Bradley Church of God, and I know they're

not having services in there anymore from what I've heard.

And that's the church I got saved in. And that's

going back between forty and fifty years ago. Sister Janet Hill,

them preachers that were educating men that come out of

Lee University.

Some did and some didn't.

Some probably come out of the backside of being fields,

and some probably come from being straight. At his students

a Bible seminary wherever they came from, though, there was

a general consensus and an agreement that the King James

Version Bible could be understood by fifth grader. Do y'all

remember hearing that I have heard it for nearly fifty

two years, that a fifth grader reading on a fifth

grade level can understand the plainness or come on of

lettering and plain words.

I'm telling you if a fifth grader can.

Understand it, I remember years ago hearing a slogan in

the world, are you smarter than a fifth grader? Where

they get that prim I want you in their air?

Per body knows concerning the Bible A fool her away,

fair man. We are not air in this plain way.

We're not air in that straight way. That's a plain way.

That's a straight way. Where you get in trouble is

with all that wiggling and robbling. Where you get in

trouble is when you're supposed to be looking forward.

That's your eye us look right on.

But when you're looking back come on now, no man, woman, boy, girl,

have us set their hand to the pile and looking back,

here's fit.

For the king. Amen.

I'm telling you, they tell me now that you've got

to be on Google and other search engines in order

to understand a verse of Scripture. I didn't believe that

the night that I got saved. I didn't believe that

as a little boy in the church, and neither did

one of my friends, who was never raised in church.

We heard the preacher preach the simplicity of the gospel

Jesus Christ and him crucified.

And I'm telling you, men.

Like these apostles that were definitely students of the Law

of Moses, but we're ignorant and unlearned in some ways,

brother road cap. They became the authors of some of

the greatest writings, the greatest sacred writings known to humanity,

because of the Holy Ghost. And when you get saved,

you can desern things spiritually. When you become a new creature,

you can understand things. When you become a sheep, you

can hear the voice of the shepherd. He said, my sheep,

hear my voice. Had another They will not follow. They

tell me there's over four hundred versions, which I call

perversions of the Bible. I don't care how many there is.

Back then, the King James translation was easily comprehended. You

know THEE means something there, You know thou means something.

If you can't understand that with certificate.

On the wall and your college degree advertised, ho ever

social media paint you title, then.

You watch Mada that a fifth grader.

The same people that tell us that stuff, they seem

to understand William Shakespeare and his writings. They seem to

love the writers of Charles Dickens like I do. Hey,

come on, I'm telling you the Bible is right and

somebody is wrong. I want to preach to you here tonight.

This book that we are looking through tonight is a

book of dialogue between the Lord and his messenger Habacchic,

and in verse number two, the Lord told a backic

to write it down and to make it plain and

easy to read. That's what Apostle Paul said. I am not,

although I have the ability to. I am a gentleman,

and I am a scholar. I did school at the

feet of the Mail. But I come not with eloquent speech.

I don't come with the wisdom of man's words. But

I came with demonstration and a power. Oh, come on here,

Yes he did, and you know what, everybody understood him.

And I want you to know that Legion of goodra

probably couldn't even think clearly, and definitely couldn't have spoken

coherent or you plainly. But when Jesus got done with him,

that man was sitting, he was clothed and in his

right mind. And I'm telling you, when you get saved,

you're in your right mind, and you can understand the

Bible because they are the words of your master. And

when you become a sheep, you understand the words of

your master. But thees Israelites had hardened their heart and

they became immral, and they committed idolatry, both naturally and

spiritually idolatry, Brother Philip, God needed a maleman. God needed

a messenger. He's got Jeremiah preaching over here in one corner,

and he's got Heachic over here preaching. And it's just

like when Brother Nathaniel Howell preaches and Brother Thomasteric preaches,

because they are of the same spirit, they have the

same message. The messenger would need to use plainness of speech.

Look at our golden text, and brother Nathaniel the messenger

himself would need to understand it, and those that read

it would need to understand it. Now, Daniel, he's a philosopher,

and Daniel he's a learning student in Israel. I wish

I could have finished preaching that message Sunday night, but

the Holy Girls took over. And that's better any day

than my preaching. But I want you to know that Daniel,

when he had his experiences in the spirit, Sister Howell,

there were some things that he didn't understand, and the

scholars of Judaism didn't understand, and the scholars of Christianity

today still do not fully understand that the prophecy and

the prophetic visions for Daniel that I want you to

know her back the Man of God said her golda

girl said write it down and naked as plain as

you can, so that everybody understand. And that's what Philip

he told the Ethiopian Unica. Understand this, nou what the

leaders o fo they're away fer Man will not hear

in it. If you're an Ethiopian Unich, hold in your

hand a copy of the manuscript of the prophet of God.

God will send another preacher to interpret it for you,

not Google. How shall they hear not through Google's interpretation.

They say that CHAT, GPT and artificial intelligence is biased.

They say, what people don't.

Realize is it is going to lean in your direction

because it's even politically correct concerning you as an individual.

If it detects that you've got certain taste and certain likes,

it's gonna put it over there in your field. Why

where you can relate to it, where you can understand it.

I feel like preaching a while here tonight. I'm telling

you the apostle Paul spoke of certain adornments that people

put on the outward, and he said, concerning Sarah, he

took them on back to the matriarchs. He took them

way on back to the founders of the Hebrew faith,

and they said, them women in like manner, them holy

women of God, you know, like Mother Sarah, the wife

of Abraham, the father of the faith. And they were

not concerned with ornating themselves or adorning themselfs recaut, hooray.

What he was saying is and them women knew that

God beautifies them meet with salvation. I've never been ashamed

of Sister Howell since she stopped her ordinating herself with

the decorations of this world. I'm telling you, God will

beautifie for.

Meek with salvation.

You want me to go deeper, Holy Ghost, I need you,

Thank your Holy Ghost.

You know what he said, Daniel, You're in the land

of Bible. He told them.

He said, listen, now, you stick with your diet and

I'll stick with mine. I'll stick with a Hebrew did oh,

thank God, and we will not defile ourself with a

portion for the king's meet. What he was saying is,

just let us be here, plain Hebrews. Just let us

do it to God's way. He will beautify the meek

with salvation. I've seen it so much. I'm an observant person.

I'm an analytical person. Since I was a kid, they

told me I could read people, and I've seen it.

My wife got rid of the decor of this world

that she ornated herself with. After she got saved and

after she became a student of the book. It is

not that she's there literate, It is not that she's uneducated.

In fact, whenever you read behind her in the photocircle,

Carment board, you can realize there's a whole lot going

on there. I listen to the Howl Boys preaching and

I think, listen to that compound. Hey, thank god raw

talent of Charity Howell and Jeremy Howe coming out. I'm

telling you we taught them boys. We didn't raise no

stupid people. But I'm telling you, when it came to

the principles of God, we knew we better keep it simple.

I'm preaching and I don't keep it simple.

Saint Bob Dobek used to work for me with them

young dressmen, them specialized still detailers. He would say, keep

it simple, stupid, he said, remember the kiss Principal. He said,

never forget it, because he said, they're shock men out

there that are working and reading your blueprint, and they're

working in poor conditions. They're working through poor lighting, and

he said, they're not gonna be able to see it

as good as you do. Come on, I feel like

God is such a fair god. He knows that Michael

David Howell at the age of six, he's gonna get

bored again, or somebody else at the age of sixty. Oh,

thank God for plainness of speech. Oh thank God for

plainness of path.

I wonder how all.

Of these people arguing about doctrine and standards and commitment

and devotion up with a fair back in the early

church days without their God.

Google for Google God, he.

Just me answers for everything they say.

The Holy ghosty in this place.

I want to preach to you since the how it

got saved and she started realizing this King James translation

is clear.

It's as clear as the nose on my face.

I'm telling you it is plain. It is simple. Thank

God for the ancient manuscript. I know they have created

four hundred to six hundred per versions or versions, trying

to make it easy for everybody to understand it. What

did everybody do before we had all these other versions? Oh,

thank God for this translation. They can pick their version,

but whenever their version starts removing critical things and starts

taking out the plainness that there is a literal hell,

and when their versions start moving, oh, come on, punctuation marks.

I don't know about you, but I feel the importance

to cross the tees and doctor my Oh God in

Heaven help us here tonight. There's some of them daydreaming

right now, sister wooting. We got about seventy five prison

in this building right now, and I'm telling you they're stray.

Or for they are in La law Len.

You can understand what the Bible said, and you can

live it. I said, you can live it. This man

of God had occupied his post. I can't think of

a time I've seen Brother Nathaniel abandon his post. You

should fall out with him for him taking his responsibility

seriously and delivering words of truth to you. You should

fall out with Brother Rocap for him taking this responsibility

seriously and delivering words of truth to you. In fact,

these men of God now communicate multiple times a week.

It ain't just on Saturday night when we start talking

about what God is dealing with us.

Out for you.

So, Brother Samuel, Howe, God blessed Sunday night. What a

great service we all had. I'm talking about you. There's

an appointed time of judgment coming. I don't meddle in

affairs not belonging to me. I don't meddle in business

that belongs to God. I know the Bible said, what

is the chaff to the wheat? I know God puts

the wheat in the threshing floor, and I know he

winnows it, I said, I know he winnows it, and

I know he lets the chaff be separated from the wheat.

And I don't understand sometimes how people start suffering at

the chastening rod of God.

But I said it.

This past Sunday night, God allowed that chastening rod to

go from his hand into his earthly henchmen Nebukanezzar's hand.

And this is what I'm telling you. Both Jeremiah and Habacchic,

they said he's coming. There is a man from Babylon

coming Sunday night. I told you it's coming. Until night.

I'm telling you the fury and the wrath of God

is coming. I don't want it to come. I want

to be like Tobacco. I want God to spare you.

I wanted to end up in hope. I want to

believe the mercy of God will abound. I want to

believe that the grace of God will abound. But what

will you do with this plainness of speech?

Tonight?

As I tell you, there is an appointed place, an

appointed time, and time's about over. This man knew judgment

was pending the Lord's release. Sister, Howell, how's he preaching

like that? Over the sickness, because I can't even get

in with a sickness if you'd push yourself to get

into spirit. Hubbaccic knew the God was coming, and he

appeared to be somewhat weary with a conscious standoff between

the sins of the people and the judgment and the

wrath of Almighty God. That's what God spoke to me today.

The Habacca had to be like me, just getting weary

with the constant standoff of the sins of the people

against the wrath and the judgment of God. It's just

like the Philistines in the nation of Israel. They're just

waiting on somebody to make the first move. And the

goodness of God, as to howl, has led them to repentance,

and the goodness of God has led them away from iniquity,

and the goodness of God has led them down a

simple path and a plain path. Touch not handle not,

say not, partake not. I'm not wanting to see wrath

poured out on anybody, not man's wrath or God's wrath.

I'm not wanting to see anybody schmacka sem my head

on whether disobedient or obedient child of God. But you

know what, the spirit of Jonah can get on the

saints of God if we're not careful. And Jonah preached,

I've said in Jonah preach, And after Jonah preached, brother Nathaniel,

he walked outside of the city of Nineveh, and he

waited on God's wrath. I'm not waiting on God's wrath.

My name is Jeremy, Howell. I've been known to have

a tender heart. I've been known to work with people.

I've been known give people the benefit of the doubt.

I know that all have sin and come short of

the glory of God. My name is Jeremy, not Jonah

and Jonah. Chapter number four and verse number five. The

Bible says, so Jonah went out of the city and

sat on the east side of the city, and there

made him a booth and sat under it in the shadow,

till he might see what would become of the city.

Apparently the prophet Jonah didn't always operate and the right

spirit or attitude. Oh, how quickly he forsook the opportunity

to pray for the mercies of God to fall upon

the city of Nineveh, rather than the wrath of God.

And that's what me and brother Nathaniel and the other

ministers here. We've been asking God is to allow the

windows up heaven to open up and pour out greater

power and greater gra Sir, greater goodness and greater mercy

on you.

But what can we do if you want to do

it your way?

Mister Jonah, Let brother Jeremy, how will tell you something

that the Lord put in my heart today? As sure

as the sun is going to rise in the eastern sky,

as you sit in the east side of the city,

so shall the mercies of God rise each morning. The

Bible said that Jonah said, on the eastern side of

the city, that's the side where the sun comes up.

He didn't even know, Oh, I felt the Holy Ghost

just now lamentations chet to number three and verse number

twenty two and twenty three.

The weeping profit that.

Didn't want to see harm or destruction come to his city,

and nobody. Jeremiah's walking around, and he said, it is

the Lord's mercy that we are not consumed.

Already.

It is of the Lord's mercy that we are not consumed,

because His compassions fall not they are new every morning.

And great is Thy faithfulness right here tonight. Once again.

The Son of Righteousness has arisen in your eastern sky,

with healing her in his wings. He wants to meet you,

an altar young adult woman. He wants to meet you,

an altar young adult man. We just say God, I'm

sick and.

Tired of my sealing. We just save my soul.

I remember an old song, and lyrics in that song

went something like this, Mercy rewrote my life. Why will

you not allow Mercy's pen to scribble on parchment tonight

and say? My feet had nice lipped, but my God

came to my rescue. My soul had aired, but my

Savior put me on the right path. I stumbled and

I fell short of his glory, but he picked me up.

I fell, and my enemy was going to rejoice against me.

But somehow, because his goodness and his mercy was there,

he stood me up. And David said, surely, goodness and

mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.

And that's just that. How long do you have to

live till the battering ram of nebukanaz Or thumps and

thuds on your front door? Jeremiah's walking around, Sister Vicki

her bacchics walking around sister Neely, Brother Aaron. They're preaching

God's got it covered. The gospel seed is being scattered

by great men of God.

And they know.

How many are they preaching to, Not seventy five to

eighty like I'm preaching to tonight, They're preaching to tens

of thousands. How many have handled this word of life? David,

he said, it's right there, the hand of goodness and

the hand of mercy. I preached that message about distinguished Daniel,

and we talk about that chastening Rod and Habaccocks telling

them Brother Rocap It's coming, and Habaccics wanting to hear

from God like I've been saying, God, talk to me

about these three or four. They used to would have said, Pastor,

if you tell me to break it off, I'd break

it off right now.

Apostle Paul said, it used to be.

You'd pull your very own eye out, and you'd follow

I'm paraphrasing here, this is my commentary. You'd rely on

my vision for your life. It used to be that

you knew your heart's deceitful, You didn't even trust your

own feelings and emotions and interpretation. You'd have plucked your

eye and said Paul, I will follow you as long

as you follow Christ. After that great service Sunday night,

my wife and I turned off the lamp on our

nights sin and she flipped over and she kissed me

on the forehead as I just ached in my body

after preaching, and she said, good night, preacher. She rolled

over and went to sleep. But you know what she knew, Brother,

would she knew my night wasn't over. Good night, preacher.

My heart will continue to bleed when they backslide. Apostle

Paul talked about marks and his body talked about scars.

I wonder how many wounds my body bearing my body

to marks. I wonder every time my heart beats, the

shepherd's heart beats, if there ain't a squirt of my

own blood from the wounds of friends that I would

have loved to have helped faithful, or the uns of

a friend. But the kiss of the enemy is deceitful.

I'm gonna tell you there's a lot of people abandoning

holiness right now. Ultimately, it's sanctification and separation they're walking

away from. Why wouldn't God be offended back that when

he said, if any man loved the world, the love

of the Father is not an him. It's just as

plain as anything I've ever read or seen. Make it plain,

brother Nathaniel to him in the Sunday school class, Make

it plain.

Brother Vocap.

Rided upon the tables and posted on photo circle and say,

here's what God dealt with me about, so that the

messenger that reads it and the one that gets it.

I wonder if we had Sunday school lesson review you,

how many people could stand there and tell us what

their teacher is told on? For the vision is yet

for an appointed time. Since the how just had a

vision of a soldier. He appeared to be a Babylonian soldier,

and he was tightening the reins on a mighty steed.

And Brother Philip, there is no doubt that the Emperor

Neblicanzer told the Babylonian army make Red dead. In the

New Testament, the Book of Revelation, a white horse has

seen and years ago I had a vision of that

white horse pawing at the ground. And I preached in Ukraine,

and I said, God showed me hard times are coming

once more. Where I preached that at on a military

base in Ukraine. I said, I come to preach to

you soldiers, I said, I saw a white horse pawing

the ground. How don't want to be Jonah? How don't

want to build a temporary makeshift shanny shack to watch

the wrath of God fall on you? For he Saith,

I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in

the day of salutation and salvation, I have succored the

Behold now is the accepted time.

Behold now is the day of salvation.

It's true. God is merciful. It's really true. He allows

you to start over again. And I know there's two

that should have ran to this altar when the Holy

Ghost started moving on these prayer warriors. That's what you

have to learn to do is respond when the spirit

of God responds.

How would have you to respond?

The Book of Habacic ends with a message of hope.

But sister, how well the sad thing is even though

it ends with a message of hope. The Israelites Sabakk

preach to, and the prophet Habakk himself and also Jeremiah,

they would not live to see the Israelites released from

Babylonian captivity. It's true the Church will have revival again.

It's true he will pour out his blessings and spear

it again. But the question is will you live long

enough to see it?

Make it plain? Brother?

How speak it clearly, Brother Jeremy, okay, I will if

you must insist. If you don't pray through, you will

not live to see the blessings of God, sayth the Lord.

If you feel lad to pray with somebody, please do

so at this time. Keep it simple, Saint, the plainness principle.

And I want to ask this question for those that

struggle with vanity. Vanity of vanities, said the man of God,

the preacher, who had understanding in all things. But I

want to tell you, even the dogs that approached the

corpse of Jezebel didn't like the cosmetics. I'd rather be

an old time Christian than anything I know
