Dizzy Demas - Bro Samuel Howell 8-27-2025

And they showed us how as kids, they showed us

how to work.

Three things.

I've never seen them argue in front of us. I've

never never seen hollering or screaming, you know, just role

models as fathers. And there's a married couple. But we

certainly missed our pastor and our first lady. They've been

a blessing to us. You can turn with me to

the book of Second Timothy, chapter four, verse ten. Second Timothy,

chapter four and verse ten. We pray for a praying church,

want to perform the will of God. What thus saith

the word or not what I want to preach, but

what God said to preach. There's so many people nowadays,

so many preachers. You know, they they preach a message

opposite because they don't want to step on somebody's toes.

I don't plan on to do any toast Stephan and

I plan on do some encouraging.

Second Timothy four and ten.

Fordeemons half forsaken me, having loved this present world, and

is departed unto thessela knocking. Turn with me over to

James Chapter one, verse eight. A double minded man is unstable.

In all his ways.

A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

Let your hand towards heil and ask God to help

and see us y'all I.

Can ask me try to know the name of Jesus.

Then through a law to God, I need you touch

holding only come from kind of mood, Lord God. I'm

behind Oh ye, Lord, I'm nothing deroity, Lord, hide me

going behind the crowd.

Lord God, ask me to any no probs and gone, God,

touch your heart.

Or touch your mind.

God, I'm saying someone in the great manner. Or change

me o Lord, God, deal with my heart and forep

me selling my heart. Lord will be sure, old people,

you know the word.

Thank you.

I'm going to give you the grave Jesus think amen.

Back going there to our golden texts there Timothy four

in ten it says for demon path forsaken me, having

loved this present world, and is departed onto Thesalonika.

Now Here, this uh, this group, this book of the Bible.

Here tewod Timothy Paul is writing to Timothy from prison.

And here we know we kind of go through.

It to kind of everybody's familiar with this story, but

just to kind of catch you up to our golden text.

Here he starts telling Timothy of things that he needs

to start bracing for.

He starts warning him of people no longer wanting to

hear the truth.

And we see this taking place and a lot of

the hole in his churches nowadays. Sadly, you know, they

no longer have a desire to preach what thus saith God.

They no longer have a desire to say what the

Lord said or to tell it like it is.

Now.

They only want to hear the things that please.

Them, and the things that make them feel okay in

their sin, and the things that make them feel like

they're doing.

All right that they don't need to improve.

I don't want to ever get to the place where

I think I've arrived. I've never arrived. I've seen Christians older.

They always say, God, give me more, give the more.

You can never have enough of Jesus. Then he tells

him here to endure afflictions. They're gonna be There's gonna

be things that try to get the best of you,

that try to bring you down.

But Timothy, do the work of.

An evangelist mats full proof of your ministry, regardless of

what people say, regardless of what they do to try.

To hurt you, regardless of the things that they lie

and say about you. Then he then he lets him

know that.

Let then he lets you know the benefits of living

right in obeying the Lord, no matter what said. And

we hear those famous words that it does we love

to quote, I have fought a good fight, I have

finished my course, and I have kept the faith. Hens

Forth there hiss forth, there is laid up for me

a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge.

Give me at that day, and not only unto me,

but unto all them that love his appearance. That's the

benefits of telling it like it is. That's the benefits

of not backing down, no matter what it is. That's

the benefits of preaching the truth. Timothy. That's what I

had to look for. For I met my maker. I'm

about to meet my maker.

But here I am right there in verse sixes that

for I am now ready to be offered.

At this time, my departure is at hand. Timothy. You've

watched me preach it right, You watch me tell it

like it is.

That's the benefits, Timothy. I believe this wholeheartedly. If it's

in the Bible, then it.

Is to be preached, no matter what it says, no

matter who in hair lips, it is to be preached.

Y'all bear with him.

We're gonna get into a text. I'm just trying to

catch you up to verse number ten. Now, this is

the part that after all the encouraging and all the

the good news that Timothy hears, he hears the good,

the good benefits of becoming and preaching. What thus says

the Lord who has to share with him something that

no man of God ever wants to share or share

it ever has to share, He says Timothy. Now I'm

just paraphrasing here. You know, I'm kind of using my imaginations, Timothy,

Demons has forsaken me.

Demons has walked away from what we preach. Demons has

gave up on what God has told him.

To do, and demons will not be coming back. I

can see it now, and I believe in with everything.

It's Timmy.

As he got to this part, you know, he tells Timothy,

he starts praising.

He saying, Son, there's gonna be people that walk away.

He's telling him, keep the faith the mister chorus, Timothy.

Then he tells him why.

Now, Timothy understands why Paul said all that.

Now, that's all forfeititive maintenance.

We watched our pastor do that. Over the fourth of time,

he'll work.

On the church. He'll tell us how to do it.

And then later on, maybe ten months, we'll go ten

months later, we understand the why it all.

Makes sense now.

Now it all made sense to Timothy why Paul told

him treat whatever.

It says, no matter what they say, no matter.

The afflictions, Timothy, just keep going forward because because deamons

has forsaken.

Me, and I believe as Paul wrote these, there was

tears in his eyes.

And I'd hate to be the one that read that letter,

Timothy reading that letter, Demons has forsaken me.

Demons has forsaken Paul.

Why would you walk away from Paul at a time

whatever he needs your.

Comfort the most, at a time whenever he could use you.

Paul is in prison now, demas, he can't go out

there and preach in the streets. He's gotta send somebody

for Paul. Who needed you, Timothy or Demons.

Maybe Timothy's heartbroke as he read the words that Paul

wrote to him. Maybe he shall though surely I'm not

reading this right.

I know for me, if I saw.

Something you know sometimes past your shares with us, the

bad news of someone falling away, I'll stare at that

text for a long time and just say, Oh God,

what is it that call thir eye that caused him

to turn away? Now, in Paul's letter, he tells him

why he's walked away. He says demons had forsaken me

because he loved this present world.

Demons walked out on Paul. But at the same time

he walked out on God.

Just for to a little while tonight, I'd like to

preach on dizzy Demons. I know that's kind of a

crazy title, but dizzy Demons. I believe Demus had a

mind battle. I believe his mind was spinning out of

control before he made up his decision.

Someone tonight, your mind might be spinning out of control.

Do I love this world or do I love God

it's just what I want? Or do I want to

walk away?

You are dizzy because you can't get your minded check.

You let him right away with you, let it go

to places. You may be in the House of God

tonight in your body.

But you might not be here and spirit or in mine.

You can come to church and your mind be upwhere

it can be on the Java, it can be on

the thames of the world, it can be the places that.

It shouldn't be.

You don't want to physically walk out on God. You

could burst walk out on him in your heart and mind.

Did the physical walking out come out later?

He was walked out on calm before he in his mind,

before he ever physically last team, he was digging with confusion.

I believe that with all my heart.

Anybody that you know, whenever you get to thinking on

something you don't know if it's good.

You don't know if you should do it or not.

You're getting this, You're getting confused. You don't I don't

know if I should actually go. You start weighing after options.

You know.

It's the same way when you go to take a trip,

when you eat in the bad storm somewhere, you.

Know, I don't know, I could get in trouble, I

could stay here, and the same thing. I believe that's

what Demons was waging out of his mind. But yet

he just couldn't get passive the things of this world.

What is it that caught your eye? What is it

that called Demons's eye that he realized, Hey, I love

this place, I.

Love this world. He left the love of the Father,

he let the love of Paul, He left the woe

that needed him the most. He walked down on Wana

that could take care of him whatever his family needed

and whenever he needed straightening, whenever he need an encourageion.

He didn't walked out. Don't walk out on the one

that he's from God for your soul. I don't know

who this is still, it's not for me to know.

And don't ever walk out on God. It ain't worth it.

I promise you.

Everybody that I know in this life that has walked

out on people have suffered in some manner. Judas betrayed Jesus,

and he walked out de grief from that so badly.

And the devil got a hold of him and he

went out and hung himself.

To this day he suffered from the pain of forsaking

Jesus and walking out.

You may not.

Experience it right then, you may not experience it right now,

but I promise you, if you don't get that dendiness

off of you, and you don't get your mind focused.

On God, and you end up going where we want

to go, you experience pain.

At some point, Demons was dizzy with decisions and he

needed to make.

Up his mind what he wanted to do.

He ended up making the wrong choice, forsaking Paul. God,

the devil has made you so many offers.

That seems good, a better job. A better job isn't

always what God wants you to have.

I just don't have or interfere with his plans or

his feature that he has for you. God's ways are

past finding out. Don't you ever make a bad choice.

You're not gonna be the only one that suffers. You're

not gonna be the only one. You got a family

that's following behind you.

You're sure dizzy. You can't even see straight. Who knows

as a child?

God? Who knows that someone as a child? Whenever you

spin them around and around and around and around. You

can't see straight, You can't walk straight. You don't even

realize it. Maybe, but the devil's got your funny in

the circle. It's offered you one thing at another.

You just keep grabbing, grabbing, grab and grabbing, and next

thing you know, you're dizzy. And like most adults do,

whenever they watch somebody get so dizzy. They find it funny.

The devil.

He'll get your so fun around that. Later once you fall,

you'll find it funny and he'll say I got him.

Now I find it got away all hold.

Him, I got him so confused. Back then fail down,

and they won't anyone realize that.

The study stepping back, laughing at you, they says, you

can't this straight. You're riding going up your way. Your

life's going up, and wait your way. Then they don't

your real life. You sit back and laugh at you,

would mock you, say you made the wrong choice.

All the offers of.

The throat baking fall that man.

I don't do nothing.

They talk playing and suffering. It only takes a couple

of sentens for you to get dizzy. Simon, I think

it is not my son there.

It doesn't take him, but like tooth spins and he

can't stand straight. You don't realize that your mind's so

dizzy you could be nigh into a fall.

Oh God help us.

You don't even realize it shook you up so much

that you can't even walk straight. You think you're walking

in the right direction. You think you're walking in the

right direction, but you don't even realize that you're off course.

I know what it's like to be dizzey. I want

to go there, and I don't even realize because my

head spinning. I think I'm walking in the right direction

with in reality I'm walking over this way.

And then what the deazen is finally said, other you

realize just how of course you are what to Dozey is.

Finally said other where you've been found in hell? Or

where you mean?

I don't have to being of Jesus, because if you

don't make the wrong choice, I'm probably or the right choice,

you'll be found at a place of destitute.

To be dizzy is to feel unstable in confused, as

he read.

And James Ward of Age, the double minded man is

unstable in all his ways.

He's unstable in his work. Someone has fun you. I

want you the next time you go to work, to spend.

In about ten circles and then trying to perform a

task that your palses don't you to do and.

See how it turns out. Find out how your fasse

likes the outcome of it.

I don't think you'll be pleased, especially if you a

wilder or something.

God damn and then's trying to strike a peach be

all over the place. You can't work, you can't see strange,

you can't bat straights. You don't even realize. That's your

mind and garbl that's your Disney demons.

He's unstable, a Disney person and a double minded man.

He's unstable in all the ways. He's unstable in attitudes.

He's unstable, and believe he's unstable in preaching. There's so

many Disney pastors and preachers in our puppets.

Nowadays that they used to preaching like it is. But

because their mind, that's start from any time. Why I

tell off, I don't him and realize have they walk

in and off with the direction they're leading their church

down the road in the street. You've been spun by

the devil. Now you see it different, you leave differently.

You say that ain't God? Y'all will never leave someone

where they don't need to be, Never tell some preacher

to back it up. God will never.

Tell some creature that the Bible does and say what

it said and admit to their maiden letter and caught

out what.

They want and shorting out what they want, preach the

whole word of God.

I can tell you what will happen to a double

minded man to have double vision.

When you're spun in a circle and you're dizzy, and

you're dizzy, and you're dizzy, you can almost see two two,

brother Phillips, you see two ways. You think you're.

Walking to him, like Aldi said, but you don't even

realize just how a lot of courts you want.

I start walking to him and I end up over here.

Your double minded, your double visions, and you don't even

realize it. Heven's your dazzy now from so much dizziness.

They think they're.

Walking towards God, but they don't even realize the devil

was standing there, arms flat open, saying Demus like, Godsha, Demus,

you come through this world.

I don't know what it was that caught Demus's eyes.

Something did. Something's gotta be.

Awfully strong to turn you away from the presence of

the world.

It ain't gonna be no light like tous.

And you think you can handle it on your own,

without praying about it, without reading about it, without.

Reading the Bible, asking God for instructions. You can't handle

it on your own.

Demons creatures are backing up on stuff such as standards

and be leaves.

Friends turning their backs on someone else that sends a

lot like demons to me.

He walked out on Paul at the time. Paul need

any most.

That's all right, Demas, for every demons that has forsaken Paul,

take a mark to take his place for every themis

that for sakes God and for saints Paul? What for

Saint this holiness movement? And to mark I don't take

its place? Paul told Timothy that grant may Mark.

He's beneficial. He can profit now, he's profitable up on

the ministry. Go ahead and walk out, Demis, God gotta

marking you here. You pulling the ride up and to

put it the way you're used to understand, the way

you're used to. God don't need you anymore, Demus, go

ahead and run to the wind. Demons, go ahead, he

said God, Paul Mark will be.

A betefit and a better help to God anyway, Boy.

This day Judas suffers.

Don't end up like densey Deis. Don't walk out on God.

You better stop looking at this world. He was slept

from the love of the world. What small price are

you leaving me? For you just sold God for thirty

pieces of silver?

Is that right? What do you sell your experience for

a quick high?

A little bit of extra money in your pocket that's

gonna be spent at the next time you go out

to heat?

It's it really worth? On an outport of the Holy Ghost.

I messed with my wife sometimes whenever she don't realize.

Sometimes you swap the car. There went two days worth

of work in about two seconds. You're making the money,

but you're spending it faster than you can make it.

Paul Dennison, you go out.

There, you're gonna love it for a season, the pleasure

and send for a season.

Get your eyes on a hugel calorie.

Paul saw someone in Mark that was reliable and they said,

Mark is profitable for the ministry, pulse in prison.

But yet it's mine's on the ministry. There's so many

preachers nowadays. Their mind ain't on the ministry.

They're on the money, they're on They don't care if

you're out sick because they want you to hear what

God said.

They don't they care because you ain't gonna put an

offer that night. They have no mind, ain't on the ministry.

Mark had a ministry mind. Mark with ministry minded that card.

Paul said, bring him here. He's profitable. Now I can

use him. Now I'm in prison. I can't get out there.

I need to use him.

They don't care for the soul sitting in the Jews.

They're dizzy like Denas. Denis was so confused at some point.

There's really nothing about these He's mentioned three times. He's

mentioned when the names of some other brethren. Then this

is the the most we can.

Find on demons.

For demon has forsaken me having loved this present world.

That is a sad outcome, a sad outcome to any

child of God or any believer to walk out on

God and to say, there's so much to live for

in this world.

What is the profit of man if he gained the

whole world and lose his own soul. You gain all

the riches, you gain all the wealth, but yet you

lose your soul.

You suffer for eternity. Hell is long. You can't afford

to be dizzy, You can't afford to get your mind

on things of this world.

You can't afford to do it your way. It's best

just to submit to the Father and submit to his will.

If you didn't see it, if we don't see it

the way demon season, then we're doing it right. If

we're not falling after our own heart, and we're not

falling in love with the world, they're will fall in

love with the Lord. You're going about of the rightway.

Things may be tight, things may be hard, but God's

with him. Paul needed someone that was ministry minded. Mark

chepped out all the boxes. Demus, on the other hen

sadly had his mind on other things. One thing for sure, Demus,

in his heart of hearts, couldn't say God and Paul

walked out on me.

He knew that he was the one that chose to

turn and to walk away. Friend, you will never be

able to say God gave up on me. God walked

out on me. It'll never be the case. God will

never give up on you. Matter of fact, if you

feel like you haves it's alive from the devil. But

although he's standing at the very place you left him,

waiting for you to.

Return, wait for you to come back, wait for you

to quit let yourself get spun up by the devil,

wait for you to find him. Realized, I gotta be focused.

I gotta get my eyes. I don't think of bud.

I gotta forget about this world and all that make pleasures.

Don't be like dizzy demons. But God's all stay until

he don't ever end up like izzy demas.

God, don't be like demons, and get your mind and heart.

Stayed on the world. Get your hard and mind stayed

on God and the things above. Demus watched out because

he couldn't stop.

Thinking about worldly things, and it led him to falling

in love with the world.

We're being spun by the devil.

Of Dizziness is a feeling of being unstable, confused.

Off balance.

You can't afford to be off balance on the edge.

If you're on the edge, a teetering you're tottering between

should I stay or should I go? Should I do

it the way God said it? Should I do it

the way the Bible says it, or should I do

it my own way? You can't afford to be dizzy

at the edge. Demons lost the lot when he left.

He lost a great leader, he lost the great friends,

but most importantly, he lost God. If your mind's internal,

ask God tony to help you or to take to the.

Mind from spinning out of control, going from one.

Thing to another, because that we ain't gonna stop with

one offer. He's not gonna just stop with one little spin.

He's gonna get do you enough, spin you enough to

where you fall down and you're so confused you don't

know which way is right or left, or up or down.

I've been so dizzy as kids, as a kid that

whenever I fell down, I had a hard time setting up.

It's not because I didn't have the strength, because my

eyes were playing tricks on me. If you ever looked

at someone after they've got done spinning, if you look

at their eyes, their eyes are jerking, trying to can't focus.

You've looked at this offer, this offer, this offer, this offer.

You don't even realize that you're spun up and you're spunk.

Come to die.

If you have a burden to pray, or if you

want to pray, these offers are open.

Ask God to help you, Ask God to touch you,

Ask him to control your life.

You have
