I See A Wall, He Don't - Bro Philip Howell 11-12-2025

Amen, I'm certainly glad to be in the house of

the Lord tonight. I do, as has already been stated

so many times, I do miss my Pastor.

Very very much.

I appreciate the opportunity to preach here tonight, for for

just a little while, I want to preach out of

the Book of John chapter number twenty.

Again.

I appreciate my Pastor so much. I honor and respecting

more than I want him to know how much I

respect him. But I hope I respect him more than

he even knows and will ever know. But Saint John,

chapter number twenty. We'll start in verse number nineteen. Then

the same day, at the evening, being the first day

of the week, when the doors were shut where the

disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, come Jesus

and stood in the midst and set under them. P

be unto you if you would stretch your hands towards

Heaven to not.

God.

We need your anointing. God, We need your spirit to

come down out of Heaven. God, give us clarity of scripture.

Lord in words, to say, God, send that anointing that

comes down from only you God. God will be sure

to give you the prase the glory and the honor.

Help us to say something, Lord, to strengthen your people, Lord,

and to encourage them. God will give you the prase

the honor in Jesus, Jesus name, Amen. I want to

preach for just a little while. On I see a wall,

but he don't again reading our verse. Then the same day,

at the evening be in the first day of the week,

when the doors were shut, where when the doors were shut,

where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews,

come Jesus and stood in the midst and said under them,

peace be unto you in this thought. This is after

Jesus has been crucified. I want to read verse number eighteen.

Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had

seen the Lord and that he had spoken these things

unto her. So the disciples are all here gathered together

for fear, because they had just seen the man they were.

Closest to crucified.

Take your closest friend, and not just not them, just die,

watch them be beaten to death.

And they had witnessed that the man that they.

Were closest to, not just their close friend, their savior,

just like he is ours. It wasn't just a man

they walked day today with, only it was a man

that saved their soul just as much as he did ours.

And they get they they get so scared for fear

of the Jews that they bind themselves up. And how

many times do we find ourself in situations in our

life and we end up locking ourselves away, and we

end up shutting the doors for fear of others.

And in that.

Moment, if it wasn't for the power of God, we

would lock him out.

And they had locked the doors and shut the doors.

And when the many commentaries say when they shut the doors,

I mean they locked them. They wouldn't have shut the

door and not locked it for fear of the Jews.

They locked up their situation, and they locked up their fear.

But if it wasn't for God being able to walk

slap through their fear and walk through their worries, just

like we get times we find ourselves in our minds

and in situations that we're so scared that we don't

even give God an opportunity, and that we don't even

leave the door open for him to come in to

our situation. Mary Magdalene and already ran into him, and

these of them that decay piples locked theirself up in fear,

out of hopelessness lost, and they forgot that he was

that Jesus, and they had forgot the prophecies.

Of him being raised from the dead.

But that didn't hold him back from walking in after

their fear, their doubts.

He walked right into where they were.

I can think of many times in my life, and

of times that I had fear, many times that I

had doubt and regrets, and we lock ourselves up many times.

I'll tell you one of the number one and I

preached along them lines David when he fell. One of

the number one problems that most Christians have is forgiven themselves.

They follow, and then they never get back up. They

commit a sin. And I agree, don't just commit a

sin and say, oh whatever, I'll get back up. But

you see so many people that they're past still has

a halt of them, and it causes them to lock

their dog, and it causes them to forget to let

Jesus in their situation. And they locked themselves in in

that in that building. And I ought to read in

verse number twenty two, and when he had said this,

let me start in verse number twenty one. Then said

Jesus to them again, peace be unto you, as my

father hath sent me. So even so send I you.

We have to be at the right place and at

the right time. Jesus tells them, my father send me,

I'm gonna send you. I wonder if it didn't strike

a little bit of fear in their heart after they

had just seen the way he had been treated and

seen the way he had been mistreated. And we can't

ever let ourselves get to the point to where with

a where you say, I've seen pastor go through this,

or I've seen that lay member go through that trial,

and now I'm scared to live the life that I

need to because I seen the way.

They shriet at Jesus. We can't lock ourself up and

put God out Hallelujah verse twenty one.

Again, then said Jesus to them again, peace be under you,

as my father hath sent me. Even so send I

you verse number twenty two. And when he had said this,

he breathed on them and said, under.

Them received ye the Holy Ghost.

Their greatest fear became one of their greatest blessings.

When Jesus was on earth, they didn't have the Holy Ghost.

But then he died.

Resurrected, and they had locked themselves up out of fear.

They had locked themselves up out of doubt.

But then when Jesus walked in the door, they didn't

see an opportunity. They saw walls in their situation, but

Jesus walked right through them. Their greatest fear of the

Jews became their greatest blessing become one of their greatest

gifts when.

Jesus walked in the room and breathed on them and

they received the Holy Ghost.

I appreciate the Lord here tonight, wan To. I just

want to encourage each and every one.

Of us there. We'll see walls.

In our life, but God, don't we see obstacles and

things that we think we can't get over in our mind,

places and things we done when we were in sand,

and we lock ourselves up out of fearing doubt. But

Jesus he'll come walking right in the room and forgive

us some of them all. He'll heal us here, and we

lock ourselves up. We see walls, but I.

Want to tell you again, he sure don't. I appreciate

the Lord here tonight
