-
Well, if you have your Bibles, will you turn with
-
me to the Book of Song. May I direct your
-
attention to the fifty sixth chapter and verse number eight.
-
We thank the Lord for the blessing of a little
-
baby boy, Nathan Josiah Howell seven pounds nineteen inches long.
-
His aunt Hannah, Yes, the birth weight and birth link
-
of that little baby boy, just exactly as it was.
-
She said, I finally got one right, and she did.
-
He's a handsome young man. Brother Nathaniel's sister Rachel have
-
beautiful children. She has definitely very good looking baby, and
-
they missed being here tonight. Brother Nathaniel sent me a
-
text message not long before I walked out of the
-
office to walk into the sainctuary. He said, tell everybody
-
thank you and thank you Pastor for everything you all
-
have done. We appreciate it so much. You know we
-
miss them. You can tell they're not here, that we
-
miss them terribly. You can fill the ashes of their presents.
-
We miss all that aren't here tonight. Sister Cheryl's sister Simmons,
-
May God give you a swift recovery clues. Lord, do
-
that for our dear sisters. Brother Samuel Salm six and six.
-
Brother Jesse, Palm thirty, verse number five. Brother Samuel, Salm,
-
Chapter number six and verse number six. Brother Jesse, Salm,
-
Chapter number thirty and verse number five. Mimi and I
-
have been babysity three beautiful girls, Rebella, Renee, and Ruth.
-
And I'll tell you this, watching them has reminded us
-
that we're no longer spreen chickens and spring roosters. I'm
-
telling you what, buddy, they are good kids. They're perfect,
-
literally perfect. They're the best kids in the world. Where
-
I'm telling your sister woot and I have felt my
-
age and I am preaching tonight exhausted. You can tell
-
I don't even want to have much of a voice.
-
Which is extraordinary, unusual, out of the ordinary, beyond ordinary.
-
I'm telling its odd how we've got so weak just
-
chasing the grand babies around. We had it on the
-
beach yesterday, and no kid in this beach was private
-
way beyond a distance from here to brothers Steerage Place
-
and beyond fire forest. We had just a private beach,
-
probably one hundred and fifty feet deep. It looked like
-
it went a half a mile one way, and a
-
half a mile the other. They might have been a
-
quarter mile one way, quarter mile the other. And we
-
took them little children, and the thing, it was a
-
plumping down on that beach. And it wasn't long before
-
that baby girl run over there with a handful of
-
sin and threw it at We just bombed me. And
-
that little girl is something else. She's quite the character,
-
and she started something. So I bombed and Rebecca and
-
Renee and they bombed me again. And then after a while,
-
because I'm so tired. I know, sister House tired, but
-
because I'm so tired, I laid down on this what
-
are you call them things? A beach tut you know,
-
I was thinking, said Remington or or something. Laid down
-
on the thing. I thought I was gonna stretch out
-
rest a little bit. And one of my loving granddaughters,
-
I still don't know which one it was, they bombed
-
in my face. I'm telling you, filled my face in
-
their full of sin. I love them. They're definitely like
-
their daddy. They're mischievous and they are they like to
-
have a good time. And I'll tell you they the
-
worked us over, not by being mad, but by having fun.
-
I never knew having fun with so much more presented. Amen,
-
all right, brother Samuel saw chapter number six at verse
-
number six. My brother, I am weary with my groaning
-
all the night long. Make by get to swim. I
-
water my couch with my tears. I watered my couch
-
with my tears. Those are the words of the psalmist David.
-
I want to preach a message the Holy Ghost titled
-
tearless tear Cups. Tearless tear Cups, Brother Jesse, Psalm chapter
-
number thirty and verse number five. For his anger endureth
-
but a moment in his favor is life. We've been
-
may endured for a night, but joy coming in the morning,
-
they man, thank God for that. Let's stand for the
-
reading of our golden text. Psalm, chapter number fifty six
-
and verse number eight. Thou'll tell us my wanderings. Put
-
down my tears into thy bottle? Are they not in
-
thy book? If you'll look up here, you'll see some
-
bottles of water. These bottles are full to capacity, feel
-
to the full, feel to the very top of the
-
realm feeling. I wonder if your spiritual tearcup in heaven
-
is tear free, tearless, tearless tearcups Sister Whoot and I've
-
been praying and I've been burdening. I know there's a
-
lot of tears shed at the Bethel Hollness Church on
-
a weekly basis, But I've been here and there over
-
the years, and I've seen in becoming a trend that
-
tears are no longer shed. What happened to the tears?
-
Where are the tears? And I want Brother Jesse to
-
walk up here and take a bottle, and I want
-
Brother Tyler to take a bottle, and I want them
-
to begin to pour the contents in this poor until
-
it gets filled to capacity. And whenever you get those
-
half fool or those empty bottles, put them back in place.
-
I feel like there's the people in this building tonight
-
that you don't understand. Your problem is. You need to
-
learn how to groan in the spirit and to pour out.
-
I'm sure heart to God reading our text again. PS,
-
I'm fifty six and verse number eight, they'll tell us
-
why wonderings put theu my tears into thy bottle? Are
-
they not in thy book? Let's pray, Heavenly Father, we
-
love it, we praise you, we thank you for the
-
opportunity to be in your house tonight. I thank you
-
for the sober atmosphere. I thank you, Lord for what
-
we have felt from the very beginning of this service. Tonight.
-
I thank you for this soberness and the sincerity that
-
we have felt in the hearts of this people. I
-
prayed God that you would annoint this I service out
-
of God at my mouth, and help you to say
-
the thing that you and have me to say, nothing
-
more or less than I know what the ears of
-
this not people, that they might hear what the Spirit
-
of God says or to the church to I through
-
this freak word. We pray that these sayings would saturate
-
the heart and the spirit and the mind your words, Lord,
-
not of my words, but your words. And maybe we
-
depart this place joyfully and not sorrowfully in Jesus's name,
-
and the church says, Amen, Praise the Lord. Our text
-
is found in an Old Testament book of the Holy Bible,
-
the Book of Psalm. Every person that attends the best
-
the hole in his church faithfully knows very well that
-
another name for this precious book of the Bible is
-
the Hebrew People's Song Book. I also feel like it
-
is the Christian Psalm book, and I feel like it's
-
the person of prayers. So book, There's been a lot
-
of times when I did not have the words to say,
-
when I needed to speak to my Lord concerning great
-
trouble in.
-
My life and travail of soul and spirit, I have
-
pulled out my copy of the King James Version Bible
-
and laid it upon an altar in my house and.
-
Knelt over it. And whenever I was lacking the right
-
words to speak in order to speak to God through brokenness,
-
I reached him to these psalms and plucked out the
-
words of the sweets Somist of Israel David, and I
-
began to read them as I prayed, and Sister Howell,
-
his words became my words of prayer. I can't say
-
that I've done that ninety nine point nine percent of
-
the time I have not parented the summonst. But there
-
have been times that I have used as Please as
-
patterns from my prayer. As much as I have used
-
him praise as a pattern for my praise, I have
-
used his plea for patterns for my prayer. And Brother Jesse,
-
as I looked into this song that is set open
-
before us this evening over the last few weeks, my
-
heart has been greatly stirred and my spirit has been
-
sorely troubled as I thought about the perplexing situation at
-
hand amongst the holiness of Pentecostal people today. And I
-
am not against the holiness of Pentecostal people nor their movements,
-
but I am concerned that their prayer life is no
-
longer what it used to be. And when I hear
-
them testify, I can tell that there is something missing.
-
And I'm not talking about a Hollywood actor pouring the
-
tears out of those tear ducks that God put in
-
the corner of their eyes in order to stir the
-
emotions of those that are viewing them on screen. I'm
-
not talking about that person that shows up during every
-
special meeting with a revival meeting or camp meeting, and
-
they find themselves at the same place, at the same altar,
-
and they pour out crocodile tears, tears and everybody knows
-
has no meaning and evidently tears and do not end
-
up in their tear cup. I'm preaching a sermon the
-
Holy Ghost title tear Free tear cups or tearless tear Cups.
-
I feel like every person that is a child of
-
God apparently has some sort of reservoir in the court
-
room of God, and there are bottles according to the
-
Word of God. Here the psalm is felt like there
-
are bottles in the presence of God where every single
-
tear is shed and kept up, stored up, Brother Jesse,
-
right there in the presence of God. But I feel
-
like there's people.
-
In this building tonight that may have.
-
One tears dropping their bottle, and perhaps their son that
-
have ten or fifteen or twenty. But I know that
-
there are some people in this fielding just from being
-
that pastor. I've been an eyewitness, and each and every service,
-
through tenderness and brokenness the spirit, they pour their heart
-
out to God. I'm telling you something inside of them
-
melts as God molds and shapes them, and God matures
-
and develops them through his grace and through his word
-
and through tender heartedness. They walk out of this building
-
haven't had a victory in their life. I think about
-
this cold hearted generation. They are definitely cruel. The Bible
-
said concerning jealousy, that is as cruel as the grave.
-
I look at people nowadays that do not care at
-
all to wave back at somebody that waved in them.
-
I look at people.
-
That seemingly are expressionists.
-
And they have no genuine love and all in their heart.
-
Even around a special season like Christmas, they seem to
-
be so cold hearted.
-
But I look at a few in this building here tonight,
-
and I'm knocked their Jesus.
-
I'm not their judge and I'm not their Jerry.
-
And for that critic con skeptic tonight, I know what
-
the Bible said, we can judge everybody by their fruits.
-
And I want to ask you a question concerning those
-
your churching around and those your shouting with, have you
-
judged their fruits? And are you rearing up on your
-
high land of standing for truth and righteousness? Thought finding
-
hypocrites were on every hand and there is cold blooded
-
as a reptile, and they do not have tender hearts.
-
They have stony hearts. Sister how When I think of
-
tender heartedness, I think of Sister Irish Wooton, I think
-
of you, Sister Howell. I think of Brother Samuel Howell
-
and Brother Thomas Sterrett and other people. But what is
-
the opposite of tender heartiness. The opposite is hardness of
-
the heart. King Saul knew all too well what it
-
was to have a hard heart. And when God himself
-
desired to choose a king among all of the candidates
-
within the nation of Isruel, God reached it to the
-
pamlet of Kish and he brought out a heart hard
-
hearted man name a Saul. And after Saul experienced a
-
spirit of God, saw received a tender heart. That hard
-
heart was sulted by the spirit of God.
-
But over the course of time, because of the.
-
Desire for power, and the desire for greed, and the
-
desire for prominence and prestige. With fir key, Saul heartened
-
his heart, and his heart got just as hard as
-
it was before the imorting of God deced upon him.
-
I look on every hand and I see cold hearted people.
-
It's not only the democrats and the leftists that are
-
so cold hearted. Sometimes I see it among the Republicans,
-
and I even see it among those in the middle
-
of the road. A sister, howell, you can tell it
-
the center of their being, at the very command center
-
of those individuals. You'll find intelligence, You'll find desire, You'll
-
find integrity. With sung, you'll find emotion, you'll find the
-
issues of life you'll find the speech that comes out
-
of that core, out of the very abundance of the heart.
-
The heart is the center of army. And but one
-
thing that I do not see in a lot of
-
people nowadays is kenness, or go with me, or tender heartedness.
-
Jesus Christ one time was preaching.
-
While he was preaching, he looked to the congregation, and
-
he saw there a man that had a withered hand.
-
And according to Saint.
-
Mark, there in the third chapter and the fifth verse.
-
While Jesus was preaching, he noticed this individual that had
-
hidden this condition from the others for whatever reason.
-
He was ashamed of his condition. And Jesus looked upon him,
-
and with tender heartiness, Jesus.
-
Said, I want ahead this man this day.
-
And he looked around, And the Bible said that whenever
-
he observed the countenances of the other people that were
-
present during that service, he noticed that they were unstirred.
-
He noticed that they were not moved emotionally.
-
He noticed that they were not compassionate. I feel like
-
before the service even.
-
Started it he watched us so scowlder while others mocked
-
about this man's condition, and Jesus cursed them somewhat, and
-
Mark said it was because of the hardness of their heart.
-
And when he solved the hardness of their heart through
-
brokenness and tenderness, he told the man to stretch out
-
your hand, and the Lord restoring the wi withered hand
-
to normalcy. So how are you going to grow in
-
grace and in the knowledge of the Lord and Savior
-
Jesus Christ, And how are you gonna be a possessor
-
the gift of salvation and sactification and a possessor of
-
the indwelling of the Holy Ghost and to continue to
-
go to service and walk through daily life for being
-
so hard hearted, That's what the problem was so concerning
-
the Pharisees and the Saducees of that day. They're rich
-
and increase with goods. They have their political platform, their
-
political places, but they were not at all touched by
-
the compassion of Jesus Christ for others. In fact, when
-
Chahn the Baptist was dealing with broken Lissa, when he
-
was dealing with that tender heartedness while in prison, while
-
that force that was there was wanting to preach that
-
iron bars were not permitting the voice of the aircle
-
to preach. When his disciples with the Jesus. Jesus said,
-
just go tell John this. I'm steered, timer hearted. I
-
parapraise here, and he said, I'm stilled preaching that to
-
the least and the lost and the lonely. I'm mindful
-
of the outcast. I'm concerned about others. I'm about my
-
father's business, losing a sick need the position for y'all
-
getting it here tonight. I'm telling you, if you are
-
a worry warter and your crying because of a deadly storm,
-
that is not what I'm talking about. A little child
-
being pralled to yield to the.
-
Spirit of fear, that is not what I'm talking about.
-
If you're wanting to read a newspaper and a scower
-
through those apps on your cellular the house, certainly.
-
You have been vic to miles by news stations and
-
reporters feeding the messes, including you through those eye gates
-
and those year gates. They're feeding you things that make
-
you fearful and make you afraid.
-
And as Christians, we are to supposed to worry. According
-
to God's word, there.
-
Is no room in the heart of any believer happy.
-
For anxiety or worry. The Bible said to be anxious
-
for nothing. But if we would pray, we could just
-
have a piece.
-
Of mind that pass it all understanding that readily gonna
-
choose to be frightful. Let we rather choose to be fearful.
-
Left concerning the things and the people in this world,
-
they can say the word hurricane, and the fearful pidians
-
that don't know any better. They are not faithful, they
-
are not.
-
Trustworthy, they're not trusting the Lord, and so they're not trustworthy.
-
Roll resort to me after your pop, so they're not painful.
-
And all the news reporter has to say is, here
-
comes a storm and you run out of gasoline a pump,
-
so you run out of water, have to store, you
-
run out of feod, you run out of the basic
-
necessities of life because of fear. But the Bible said
-
that God has not giving us the spear and of fear,
-
and of power and of love and a sail mind.
-
Sometimes you'll see somebody hit me all to praying and
-
shedding a tear because a fear. I want to say again,
-
they're sitting a tear because of fear.
-
And I want to tell you those sets of tears
-
are not put to him. Thus tear pumps. If you're
-
enough praying right, if you're not being sincere, if you're
-
not being broken, if you're not being to your hearted,
-
then you have to be just like King's Hall when
-
that stony heart is put to the test, and have
-
become harder. Abouda said. Even there he took upon the
-
rover of Samuel and gave it a rip, and he
-
gave it a terror. He sought something, said, He seemingly
-
pursued some things. Let you know what Samuel said. He said,
-
this thing, the kingdom has been ripped from you right
-
because of simple accent of old disobedience. Rebellion has stubborn myself.
-
He sometimes lead up. We regret because a rebellious accent
-
and chilly choices. Said that. I want you to know
-
you crying They just super PRIs tears and being sorry
-
because we got caught up and being worried of a.
-
Mount or consiquinches.
-
That is not the son of tears, and it's going
-
in your tear talk. I'm trying to preach that somebody tonight.
-
I tell you learn how to do like Dave and
-
deal when David till when made to come in and
-
trespas said that this this God. He said, I need
-
u retumnated. I need not too many clins, I need
-
a avin a spirit. I need the new spirit. And
-
you know who are On contrast, hockyved that to just
-
tears something that put don't been a bottle. These are
-
the words. And to David about these tears being bottled
-
up any well, I got caught. I got my hands
-
wadded and said, I'm gonna cry just a little bit.
-
Tears are a language that God understands. But God also
-
knows when those tears are mocking him. The Bible said,
-
being not perceived, God is not mocked. What's every man?
-
So that shall he also reap? You see, Crocodile tears
-
are not bottled up in a tear.
-
Cutness in the presence of God.
-
Bottle tears are discarded the moment that they are shit.
-
I feel like talking to somebody here tonight. You can
-
splash water in your face. You can put your index
-
finger in the corner of your eye and you.
-
Can boble it around and massage those teared ups. I'm
-
telling you some of you should have been C list celebrities.
-
You ain't good enough to be a B list or
-
an a list celebrity.
-
But I'm telling you, bother Jesse, I've been amazed, and
-
how easy if people can turn the tears on, and
-
people can turn the tears off. There's been time, Sister Howl.
-
I told Sister Howl, I said, I wish I could
-
cry as the easeless some people do. I wish I
-
could turn it on. I wish I could turn it off.
-
And there's a lot of times I would like to cry.
-
I feel like sometimes, even as a man of God,
-
a good cry. We do a lot of us, a
-
lot of good.
-
Our chary agreement with that, I'm telling you, But I
-
can't stand it when you see somebody whining and supposingly crying.
-
It's supposedly broken, it's supposedly not a conscience spirit and
-
something that God.
-
Should not despise if they weren't broken, if they were
-
in contrition. Help you believe of God with a path there,
-
wake of yours from an alltravention.
-
And put them getting them to your cops.
-
But God doesn't even touch upon, I said, God do
-
doesn't even touch them. But when you cry up here,
-
God didn't give you a fear. There's a hearty Peter,
-
and let us the fear of God. That's the very
-
memory out of stage of wisdom. He is not a
-
health fear of God. According to the word of God,
-
well to fear of the Lord and the New So
-
would be the embryotic stage of wisdom in our lives,
-
the very beginning of wisdom coming to live and flourishing
-
in our hearts. We are to fear those who can
-
take our lives.
-
But it's healthy for a child.
-
Of God to have a fear concerning that supernatural superior
-
being which can destroy soul and body in a devil's
-
health and the lake of pire. In verse number three,
-
David said during the times when he was afraid, he
-
would put his trust in the Lord.
-
If you're looking at this, son, what time I am afraid?
-
I will trust in thee.
-
It says in a third verse. According to the latter
-
part of that verse, he wasn't to concerned about anything
-
that could be done to him by mortal flesh. Are
-
y'all with me? I will put my trust in me.
-
This is the man who said, yea, do I walk
-
to the valley on a shadow of death? I will
-
fear no evil because thou art with.
-
Me, thou wrong in thyself they don't comfort me.
-
What he's saying here is there's no mortal pleasure, whether
-
creature or human being, that can disturb me or trouble me.
-
What he's saying is, there's.
-
No battle for your death that I wasn't there to
-
step on. That, there's no child that I would hesitate.
-
The faith he's fearlesson. He's faint, Father, are y'all listening
-
to me? His trust is in the Lord, crave being
-
of God. They cry, I say, great, but me, but God?
-
They cry? When does a that all of us in
-
this place? David was no different than anyone else. It
-
had to be troublesome for him to see his enemy
-
surrounding him. It had to be troublesome for him to
-
see his own people turning their back on him. At times.
-
It had to be troublesome for his own son Abslom to.
-
Turn his back on him and turn trader and treacherous
-
person on him. Into march all of his wives and
-
concubines to the top of the palace, to take each
-
one individually into the tent and.
-
To know them biblically. If you won't know what I'm saying,
-
this man was not at all scared. When a giant
-
balked him, he charged him. This man was not scared
-
of all the flesh, and a line charged him and
-
got the face with him with his own two hands,
-
and he slewed him. Or no, father, what I'm saying.
-
He was not of a skittishah or a silly disposition.
-
This was a man's man. He's a warrior, but there
-
were times in his life he knew if I'm gonna change,
-
it's gonna be prough tender heartedness, and it's gonna be
-
through brokenness. And that is the divisive thing I want
-
to bring here tonight. I want to put an ax
-
to the root of the tree, and I want to split.
-
The tree that center and tell you, on one side
-
you got a stony heart.
-
On another side you got a tender heart. On one
-
side you got life sack throwing.
-
On the other side, it's just try has lost year's
-
bird's death.
-
I'm telling you half on a movement or more has
-
got beyond the plans where the tears speaking for late
-
w say.
-
God that cares, stay here.
-
I'm telling you what tears on her lanquents. God understands,
-
but don't quest. It is care all good tears here
-
being said, they're tired understands. Standing straw in the face
-
of adversity is nothing for David. But brother wrote Cat.
-
But I read this verse. If you'll look at that
-
first part of our text and said, they'll tell us
-
my wonderings. They'll tell us my wonderings. Put them my
-
tears into thy bottle? Are they not in thy book?
-
Tearless tearcups? I said a little while ago, I wish
-
that I could cry sometimes when people threaten my life.
-
I wish sometimes when I'm dying and I've had a
-
few close calls, just a hall nose. I wish I cried.
-
I wish I say, oh no, I'm not ready to die.
-
Oh I mean, I'm telling you I feel things. But
-
Brother Jeremiah, the tears just won't flow. But whenever I
-
see God move like he did for Brother Nathaniel and
-
Sister Rachel, I want you to know something erupted inside
-
of me and the tears begin to flow. I'm telling
-
you David wasn't move only because of a strong emotion,
-
and one of those emotions be in fear. David was
-
food when he understood sometimes it is from tears a
-
man cleanses his fine. Sometimes it is from tears. A
-
woman clears the soul. Sometimes he is from tears, a
-
child cleanses inside from bitterness. I'm telling you I feel
-
like David for a reason why he swim on his
-
bed with his tears. I rather read the context the
-
night hear me, he was saying, my bed, these trench
-
to good tears. It wasn't because of the Philistines had
-
put up upon the little foe. It wasn't because a
-
child it was fucking his brothers. It wasn't because of
-
a child, was saying, I'll feed your pleasure to the beast,
-
and up to your left co pout of the air.
-
But he was crying for some reason, I said. He
-
admitted that that he was crying for some reason. Nobody
-
that so was around. And I present to you tonight
-
that the reason why saw he lost all, and why
-
David found himself again. That's this because of brokenness, This
-
because of the platrition this's been causing appear in the
-
heart of earth. Amen, I said of years ago. I
-
will not pretold this standards unless I do it over
-
tear stained notes. I mean, and I love somebody so
-
much to preach the truth in love, to tell them
-
what the Bible said, chapter and verse and give it
-
to him, because faithful are the wounds of a friend,
-
but the kisses of the enemy are deceitful. So what
-
was moving him to act in such a way when
-
the blinds were closed, when the dray trees were drawn,
-
when the lights were dim, when the candle was snuffed out?
-
What was it, brother Philip? It wasn't the fighting the
-
enemy of Israel battlefields. As to how it wasn't just
-
going out slaying Josa was just another day at the office.
-
But when his closest friends and the king that he
-
gave us very live or would have given us very
-
live to defend, turn on him, he began to swim,
-
are y'all listening to you? After Asshlum, that treacherous son
-
turned on David, And after Joe Wabb David's relative great
-
friend there killed Absol, and the Bible said that David cried.
-
Oh, absolute, old, absolute, my son wouldn't have got out
-
have died for you.
-
Absolutely, And that's what I'm telling moms and dads and
-
boys and girls today we are no longer walking into
-
them prayer closets. I said say we I guess they
-
that way, you don't feel like you're alone. We are
-
no longer walking in their prayer closets and free until
-
our spirit is broken, until our heart is broken. For
-
the prodical sons and daughters, it's not that I don't
-
want them. Hey, y'all, listen to me and ask nothing
-
that I just don't want them to die on the highway.
-
It's not that I don't want to, oh, brother Roquet,
-
something horrible to happen to him. I don't want any
-
of that to take place at all. But at the
-
end of the day, you've gotta love their soul enough
-
to not see him die and go into it devil's hell.
-
And you've got a lot of them mouth that you
-
like to see them delivered from their addition up and delivering.
-
From the path where I'm distrusting.
-
I'm asking you where all the sincere tears? Where are they?
-
Where's your bottle out tonight?
-
Is it poor of capacity?
-
Look? Every day is a tree or four Morland been
-
staring up in my bottle?
-
When David said this in the first part of our texture,
-
they where's.
-
It that thou tell us my wondering? You know, what
-
that means. You watch me peace the poor, You watch
-
me tossing, turn you watch me racks and roll over.
-
He watched me grown and treven on. This man must
-
get serious with God that's behind these the way. And
-
I'm telling you that when you get serious with God
-
in your tiny home, in your camper, like a camper
-
in the fact, So that's gonna r what when you
-
get to when you're swimming up, getting real tears in
-
your bad that these twigs don't with tears of love.
-
But there you will know what did They weeping and
-
durble the night. But joy is all his way, weeping
-
and daring for the night.
-
But Joy come up in the morning the right kind
-
of weeping, the right kind of weeping. He that goes
-
forth weeping and bearing precious seed shall doubtless come again
-
with rejoicing, bringing the sheets with him. This tells me
-
that they weren't sid And I told Sister Hall recently,
-
I said, it's like members of the Holiness of Pentecostal
-
movements need to realize the old fashioned prayer life still works.
-
It's like some of them have forgot that it takes
-
more than a good music program. It takes more than
-
Colgate smiles by half Batslet youth group, that's a coin
-
of minded. They're not walking in the spirit. And old man,
-
the lust of the flesh, you can see it. They're
-
so in tune with the models of or one are
-
those dainty jewels and she Inn and Tamu all this stuff.
-
And I'm just telling you. You can tell somebody needs
-
to go back into the prayer, cause it y'all know
-
what a prayer, cause it is by a Christian definition.
-
And they need to close the door and they need
-
to get on men and knee, y'all.
-
Remember hearing Mom and Grandpa, right, y'all, Remember hearing Daddy
-
and all of them grown in the spirit, y'all, remember the.
-
Spirit of God taking over and hear it.
-
Some boy in privacy cried out to God, and God moved,
-
and when they walked out of the room, they had
-
a feeling everything is gonna be all right. I'm telling you.
-
When Dave had got off a supper and went mattress
-
whatever the material that mattress was, and he had a
-
feeling everything is gonna be all right. I wonder if
-
he tossed and turned. I wonder if he rocked and road.
-
I wonder if he paced and rest on the floor
-
the night before he slewed thelift.
-
You know why, because he knew how his brothers were.
-
He knew how ungrateful and how untakful they were.
-
Holy bread Boy and the cheese Man. He is making
-
a special deliverance. Ho come on now order to see
-
his old brothers turn against him. I wonder halifelt when
-
he walked around the sycamore tree. I wonder Halifelter when
-
Saul said, who showed stripling his I said, I can
-
do this. Spent the more and it's come out. He
-
took five minutes power that. I'm okay, you do your crime,
-
and you're weeping in he come up and take Chartschuck,
-
you put in to see something here too. I'm telling you, hugging,
-
it's taking a call on you, Hucky. That's what I's
-
cooking my heart. Let's send that heart, Hoty. It's taking
-
a toll on you.
-
That's the inspiration of tonight's message.
-
God spoke to me and what almost was an audible voice,
-
tell them it's taking a toll on them. You better
-
get back, sister, to where you get away from everybody else,
-
and you close the door, knowing not if you'll be
-
hurt or not. And it ain't talking about making a
-
spectacle in the middle of the church service to be
-
heard or seen. And I'm not talking about making the
-
neighbors think all the Pentecostal holding his people are mad
-
by getting out there and find forest and rock a
-
coyote in the moon. I'm talking about really saying, you
-
know what, I need to go to the church pastor,
-
and that's all right, and I'm gonna shut myself up
-
in that church, y'all. Thank man. That's sub Sister Hannah
-
sings with annoying notion. That's wonderful, isn't it. But I
-
want to just tell you this. Nothing to toot my
-
own horn, but I just want to share this with you.
-
It was a Wednesday, and God told me to leave
-
thirty one to eighty plus on Great Road and to
-
come in the church and pray. And I came and
-
laid down at the fore right in front of the
-
pool Fieah, and I prayed. And while I was praying
-
in obedience to God, just no being God. It's gonna
-
take an old passion prayer life and an old passioned
-
prayer style. You ain't gonna be to sit there in
-
that lazy boy we youself on in one hand and
-
say a seven or ten minute prayer and not off.
-
I came here and I prayed. I didn't even.
-
Understand it why I was there but English, and I
-
admit to you don't do know a lot of these songs,
-
the songs of a little bent.
-
Not all of them are songs of praise. You don't
-
hear anybody putting attention on the songs of amit. A
-
lot of the songs are David. There are not the
-
songs of praise. They're the songs of languishing and the
-
songs of lament. Nobody wants to sing a sad song.
-
Don't come on now, the equish son of them get
-
his prayer, calls and pray. God. I know you're not
-
them home for me. Look it somehow, if I son
-
them home and do you a right, I know God
-
will make away from me. That's how a lot of
-
these songs ended up. God's gonna make a way. God's
-
gonna see me through. I've got so much of water breach.
-
It's just how And I drove an hour and I
-
have to be here tonight. I started out, very weakned body.
-
She told me. She said, Jeremy, don't push yourself too hard.
-
You're weak. She said, you ain't got nothing to prove
-
to anybody anyway. I said, I never felt that anyway.
-
It's the annoying that preaches me. It's the power of God.
-
Is feared of God. Because when I got started, I
-
planned on just coasting through it, as she requested it.
-
But when annoying gets on you, you can pray right,
-
you can cry right. I'm not talking about a woman
-
crying the man later her husband. I'm not talking about
-
a woman sending these kids are too many. I can't
-
handle it. You got to come home from work. Every
-
one of us dads she has more than four kids,
-
has been there when mama's had a breaking point. What
-
you do is when daddy gets home, you walk in there,
-
in that room, and you close the door, and you
-
learn how to do like charity, how will learn to do?
-
When I finally told her, I said, you know what
-
post what they call that hosts for them. Depression can
-
be real if you wanted to be.
-
Or you can go in there like David and say
-
I thank.
-
You God for these little blessings. I'm not gonna murmur,
-
and I'm not gonna complain. I don't want you to
-
take him from me. But I'm gonna go in there,
-
and I'm gonna ask you to put strength in me,
-
and I'm gonna ask you to help me see them
-
for the blessings that they are. And there were times
-
that I'll sit in the living room with Sister Howell
-
with six children, and Sister Howell eased into a back
-
room and she began to pray, and then Emperor Howell
-
child knew Mama had some tears that had left the
-
altar of her prayer, and it went up in a
-
bottle in heaven. And Sister Charney, every time you're crying
-
in church, I can tell it's real. And Sister Wood,
-
every time you're crying in church, I can tell it's
-
weo real. And every time Moither Nathaniel Howells crying in Chuncha,
-
I know it's real.
-
I watched him when his first baby boy died. He
-
didn't bible up, he didn't get on the floor, he
-
didn't say let's have a pity party.
-
In fact, somebody said how to the young man and
-
a young woman like that act so stomically at a
-
time like this. I said, they got a company. Do
-
you have a company like that? Do you have a
-
comforty like that? Look, you can't have more or up,
-
that's what they even do. I ain't ten put call up,
-
I ain't the child of golf got to I ain't
-
more repeople. I need somebody to help me. I'll tell
-
you when brother Nathaniel cried, he asked me after they
-
said it's a boy, it's a boy. We have been
-
up there for about two hours. Nobody knew its gender,
-
not Grandma, not grandpa, No siblings, the two spouses whose
-
child is being born. Nobody knows the gender. Only one
-
anographer knows the gender. The doctors and the nurses don't
-
know the gender actor it's born. According to Sister Rachel,
-
about twenty nurses flooding the room and want to see
-
what did we have because everybody knew they'd been anticipating
-
and expecting a baby boy, hoping for a baby boy.
-
Not that a girl wouldn't have been just as precious
-
and just as big of a blessing, but a baby
-
boy a handful on purpose. And then a doctor from
-
down below came up that had seen Sister Rachel go
-
through the loss of baby boy Jepsie, and that's saw
-
the other three girls be born and she came up.
-
So we got our boy, y'all with me? Right now?
-
There's that cold hearted Oh, come on, that cold hearted
-
thing inside of you right now warming up? Or are
-
you beginning to feel the love of God and the
-
goodness and the grace of God. Are you feeling compassion
-
and joy bubbling up inside of you? Are there warm
-
tears starting to flow? Yet? Are you kind of like
-
that person and don't wave back when you wave at him,
-
you kind of expression us right now and motion us.
-
That's where we're at in this cold hearted world. And
-
I'm telling you, but Brother Nathaniel, he come out there
-
and he broke the news to us, and then I said,
-
break the news to the church, and he broke the
-
news to the church, and the church rejoiced that after
-
I guess six years they've had this baby boy. And
-
we were sitting there just bashing in the goodness and
-
the grace of God, and Brother Nathaniel's holding little blue
-
hot wheels that he had let the baby boy grip
-
and Brother Nathaniel for about six years has been collected.
-
The hot wheels because he started his collection of hot
-
wheels before Chipta was born. Are y'all listening to But
-
he never stopped collecting hot wills, And sister would no
-
wonder how many times the devil said, there's no use
-
I took jepto, which is a lie anyway. But the
-
devil said, if you're not gonna have a little man,
-
you're not gonna have a little in Atenda. But when
-
he was alone in the isles of Walmart, I don't
-
have to have him tell me what happened between the
-
lines when Rachel's pro pushing the three girls somewhere else,
-
and how a warm tear would roll down his face
-
and said, God, am I buying this hot will in vain?
-
Let you know what I think?
-
He collected probably two to four hundred to hear it.
-
Tell how many six hundred Sister would because of I'm
-
sure when nobody was around. Hey, I'm telling you what.
-
That was faith, and that was hopeful.
-
And so you get that little howk will in his hand,
-
and he said.
-
Daddy, I got another boy. And you know what, the
-
same thing happened to me. That's happening you. I've had
-
people threatened my life I've had people, hey, come on,
-
two knives on me.
-
I've seen a lot of horrible things and could not cry.
-
But I'm telling you when it's real, and even Rebecca's
-
crying right now, when.
-
It's real, you feeling in your soul, and brother Nathaniel
-
sit dead.
-
I want to ask you something, he said, Do you
-
remember that night?
-
And this is not Peter Roses on me.
-
Its talking about.
-
You crying at the right time, and you pushing on
-
the bird heading at the right time, and you knocking
-
at the right time. He said, do you remember that
-
night the spirit of God spoke to you and he said, you.
-
Told brother Jesse to pray for me. I said, how
-
could I forget it that?
-
He said, he is sir, that he started crying and
-
his whip started trembling.
-
I cried a little bit, and I felt the spirit
-
of God on to me, and that was holdy of
-
motion that must displayed. But I want you to know
-
we knew that night. Tell you that God was gonna
-
do it. I said that we knew that night nothing
-
that God was gonna do it. If you'll come to God,
-
that's not out of surpas desire, I said, not with
-
selfsud said, but for his glory, that's hand idea a
-
Samuel for this glory. Looky, what's a race? Hout pu
-
a man of tide? What's a racehot? Put? Baby boy?
-
I made him say, I tell everybody, honey, he's the
-
gift of tide. That's just how about it? Tell you
-
of the lad hand a hondy, the old prayers he
-
put to heaven, that being the lead. But her tears
-
were paddled up. Hold amen. Sister Rachel, he or herd
-
told this, said, one morning I got up and I
-
was praying, Sister Rachel said, And she said, no, it
-
was brother Dathaniel telling us. He said. Rachel said, I
-
got up one Sunday morning and I was praying, and
-
I said, God, speak to Papa. Speak to Papa and
-
tell me what IMPPP. He said, Papa he came to church.
-
He said, I'll never forget it. I already knew it.
-
I already knew it what we were going to say. Eventually,
-
I've told sister how about it? That morning? Apparently that
-
praying woman put tears in a bottle somewhere up there
-
speaking to my preacher about me and my baby Jesse.
-
I woke up that morning just as sure as I
-
woke up with the title leaving Lodabar tearless teacups. It's
-
just a little honeybee. I woke up that morning and
-
the spirit God was saying Rachel, Rebecca renee Ruth, Rachel,
-
Rebecca renee Ruth. And when I understood that, they all
-
began with a letter R. Then he said Nathaniel. NA said,
-
and for some of you that paying attention, you'll remember
-
the service to brother Nathana said. He remembers me saying,
-
I figured it out what my Thaniel and Rachel were doing,
-
and I said their names for the girls began with
-
an arm, and then I sprung on my heels and
-
I said Nathaniel, and then I left off Nathan. He says.
-
Sister Rachel went home, grabbed his hand and said, Honey,
-
I messed up. I prayed today and asked God to
-
speak to the preacher about our baby boy, and she
-
said the preacher knows his name. Hannah came into the temple,
-
maybe in the early stages, being competitive with Banana, and
-
Elkanah would say, Hannah, I'm better to you. The ten
-
Sons day and the day that don't go by that
-
your mama, don't look at me. All the cried and
-
said thank you for taking such good care of me.
-
Hannah had no complaints about Elkanah. But that day when
-
they went to church, Hannah went to a place of prayer.
-
Then when the preacher had no tears to shed, a
-
no sermon to preach, she walked past Eli and she
-
started praying in an old school way. The last two weeks,
-
I've been singing a song over and over and over
-
in my heart, Lord, do an old fashioned thing, Lord,
-
do a new thing in an old fashioned way. And
-
you know what, she prayed, Brother Steric, and people made
-
an assumption she's a drunkard. Look at this carn minded woman.
-
Look at her doing this for pity and for show.
-
And we're real tears that God was catching in his bottle.
-
Brother Jesse opened up all end up a little bit
-
of the contents. I don't know if it was an
-
eight cup that she cracked. Thy prayers have been heard,
-
so many people pray that they might consume it upon
-
their own dust. Brother Nathaniel wasn't asking God to give
-
him a boy so that he could have a boy
-
like everybody else. I feel like you would saying, give
-
me a man of God. There's some in this building
-
you would not hesitate at all at all to cry
-
because of pending doom or destruction being on horizon. If
-
some of you you would keep from coming to church
-
because of a little water on the roads to David said,
-
now tell us my wondering, so old God, David said,
-
I know, Lord, you've seen me and then sleepless nights
-
when I had to get down and pray. And I
-
won't tell you until you learn to get out of
-
bed and pray to continue to have sleepless nights. And
-
so I'm six or six, David said, I'm weary with
-
my groaning all the night. Make on my head to swim.
-
I wader my couch with my tears. Brother Roquep, you
-
know what it means when he is lamenting and he's languishing.
-
It means he is losing strength. Sister Howell, It literally
-
means he is growing weak physically. And you know what,
-
You'll grow weaker progressively until you really lay it all
-
on me all the time. Enemies will continue to pile
-
up and it will continue to take a toll on you.
-
That's what the Holy God showed me is taking a
-
toll on you. Don't wait till the next preacher preaches
-
and famed crocodile tears. We're starting revival Sunday, and I'm
-
afraid some of it. If you're already ready to put
-
on a horse and pony show. But when you cry,
-
everybody knows whether it's real or not. A real breakthrough
-
came for brother Nathan, you, sister Rachel. That night they
-
refuse to have a pity party, but had a praying party.
-
Bitterness and hardness of heart is drying up, some teared
-
ups and some spirits in the holiness movement, Brother Tyler,
-
that you run back there and get that garbage can
-
My brother, it's taking a toll on you. It's killing you.
-
I've said before, it's almost impossible for me to cry.
-
When I buried Brother Platt, I cried for a few
-
minutes in solitude. When I buried Brother Hammond, I cried
-
for a few minutes in a private place. When I
-
buried my grandfather, I cried for a few minutes alone.
-
When I buried Gyp with his daddy Nathaniel, we cried
-
as a family. After we asked everybody that would use
-
it as an opportunity for pity and empathy and sympathy
-
and entertainment. We asked everybody believe, and we stood around
-
a sixteen inch long casket, and the howl boys started
-
digging a hole, and his daddy said, let me help
-
dig the hole. And we cried together, and we held
-
each other and we cried, and we cried when we
-
knelt down and put the casket in the earth, and
-
then we really cried when we covered it up, and
-
then we really cried for the next week when the
-
flesh was saying, he's alive in there, go dig him up.
-
When I went home by myself, he needs you to
-
lay well, Papa, he's coming back to live. Gonna dig
-
him up, sister, how he wasn't alive. I'm telling you,
-
your mind will play tricks on you. But we got
-
to get beyond our mind playing tricks on us. And
-
we gotta get in an altar, and we need to
-
do like King David. It did creating me a clean heart,
-
old God, pouring me out like water. And after I've
-
been poured out the bottle in heaven, hold them tears,
-
and God will look and say, hey, look right there
-
next to the tears of Bessie tim Boon, are the
-
tears of irons weep? Hey, look right here next to
-
the tears of Elijah. Are these tears are the weeping
-
Prophet Jeremiah. Every tear the weeping Prophet shed, Brother Jesse
-
was kept in a bottle of book of remembrance. And
-
I won't say it again, Mama, tell you learn how
-
to say fears not the answer. I'm telling you, Moms
-
and Dad's we have fatherical children being aware he would
-
work on some of it. We're going in there and
-
closing that door and said, I'm gonna pray till I
-
know everything's gonna be all right. And there's been times,
-
Brother Groth Captain, I've been praying for people in this
-
church when you were in a great time of need,
-
of a desperate time in your life, and Brother Stare,
-
the spirit of fear would try to come on me
-
and try to tell me they're gonna die. Pick up
-
the phone and call and tell them go to the hospital.
-
And I had to push through that spirit of fear
-
until I really re readly feel like I'm communicating with God.
-
And I want to tell every person at the Bethel
-
Homas Church like the brother said. Recently, he said he
-
don't know what he could preach. It would bring condemnation,
-
and we thank God for that. I thank God for that.
-
But I'm a pastor here and a moment said seventy five,
-
there's about five to seven of you that scares me
-
to death. When it comes time to praise as to howl,
-
I literally find them staring into cracks and the crevices
-
of the peon because as the pastor, I walk around
-
their hands on people and pray cold and says to
-
how some of them I don't even bother touching because
-
I can tell that's so engrossed in whatever else. Start
-
with God creating me a clean heart, take out the
-
desires of the flesh that I can be feeled with
-
your goodness and grace and spirit. Let's stand to be dismissed.
-
I'm going to give you an opportunity to pray if
-
you want to. We always have an altar call. But
-
tonight I'm not looking for bearing ulcers. God, it's not
-
looking for tearless tearcoats. Brother Jesse, if you would take
-
four of these bottles and put on each altar, four
-
on each altar with every head bow and all eyes closed,
-
if they're not already full of tears? Is there anybody
-
right now that would come with the altar as say, God,
-
I need things. My heart is so hard. Y'all know
-
the difference in judas of Peter Wright. Peter broke when
-
he fell the Lord, the Bible said, he went out,
-
he wept bitterly. He wept bitterly. The heart is the
-
center of the ben This is the command center for intelligence, desire,
-
and take the emotion, and he be sure why the
-
cant that's between SolV and David, the contrasts between Juwus
-
and Either, the contrast between Cana and Abel, the contrasts
-
between Antichrist and Christ. The contrast took. The contrast between
-
you and your neighbor is worth the others. There's one
-
o the ladies side of the four. Now on the bench.
-
I think every saved child or God but Heaven doesn't
-
have saved. Lord, help me they grow in the spirit,
-
and help me to weep in the spirit. Help me
-
the old. Help me to be broken hearted, Help me
-
to be tender hearted. Lord, that unique that broken that
-
contrast part the spirit God with about the spies. Oh,
