Courageously Contempt - Bro Jeremy Howell 8-20-2025

Turned with me to the Book of Jeremiah.

May direct your attention to the thirty sixth chapter we

will be reading, verses number twenty two through twenty four.

I would like to say that Brother Thomas.

Jarrett and his son, Brother Samuel Starrett were all over

my message tonight. They will understand this later on as

I'm preaching, I don't intend to preach very long tonight.

May God help us in a special way. Brother Nathaniel Esther,

chapter number four, verse number six, Brother Jesse Daniel, Chapter

number three, Verses number sixteen through nineteen.

You all witnessed this.

Past Sunday afternoon, how the Holy Ghost whispers titles into

my heart. In fact, I was in the middle of

speaking to someone to ask them to dismiss us in

prayer from that morning's service when the Holy Ghost spoke

the title, and I literally stopped in my verbal tracts

and tried to make sure that I heard exactly what

the Holy Ghost has said and retained it came in

here that night, reached along those lines, and I will

say that without a doubt the Lord has done it

once again. If you'll pray, God will answer. And to

the preachers, if you'll pray about those titles. God will

give those titles to you. I was down early this

morning praying, from between about four am to about five

twenty am. Lord spoke this title into my heart. Courageously contempt.

Courageously contempt, and it will make sense to you here momentarily.

Brother Nathaniel Esther chapter number four and verse number six

Sue Hawcak went forth to mordic I unto the street

of the city which was before the king's gate. Amen,

Brother jesse Daniel chapter number three, verses number sixteen through nineteen.

Shadrack Me shag Can of Bendigo answered and said to

the King, Oh Navcate Nazar, we are not careful to.

Answer thee in this matter. If it be so our.

God, whom we serve, as able to deliver us from

the burning fiery.

Furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand,

o King. But if not, Vietnam, unto the old king, that.

We will not serve by God's nor to worship the

golden image which thou has set up.

Then was Negukut and Azure full of fury, and.

The form of his visage was changed against shadrat Me

Shakna Bendigo. Therefore he spake and commanded that they should

heat the furnace seven times.

More than it was wont to be heated. Oh, all

of the emotion that his own display in those.

Few scripture verses praise of our list stand for the

reading of our golden text. Jeremiah thirty six, twenty two

through twenty four Bible says. Now the king sat in

the winter house of the ninth month, and there was

a fire on the hearth burning before him. And it

came to pass that when Jehodaih had read three or

four leaves, he cut.

It with a pen knife and cast.

It into the fire that was on the hearth, until

all the role was consumed in.

The fire that was on the hearth.

Yet they were not afraid nor rent their garments, neither

the king nor any of his servants that heard all

these words in those scripture verses that brother Jesse read,

I mentioned that there was a lot of emotion on display.

And here in this twenty third verse, as jeho and

I was reading, you will see that the king was

very angry. He became very angry and took a pen knife.

After slicing that document, he cast it into the fire

courageously contempt. It seemed to many that that was a

courageous act for the king to cut up the rights

of the prophet. 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,

thy people. I pray God that you would set a

guard at my mouth and help me to say the

things that you would have you to say, nothing more

or less, and nought the years of this thy people,

that they might hear what it is the spirit of

God says of the church tonight, Lord a lad he says,

to go below the shoulders.

I pray, God, Lord stir us in our heart.

Help people to understand exactly what it is you have

put on my heart this night. For this, people will

be careful to give you the praise and the honor

and the glory in Jesus' name. And the church says, hey, man,

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

are you courageous? I hope so there are times for

us to be courageous, and then there are other times

for us not to be so.

Courageous. Our text is found in an Old.

Testament book of the Holy Bible, the Book of Jeremiah.

Most of the people inside of this church building right

now recognize the name of this mighty man of God,

and most present tonight are very familiar with the content

of his sacred writing and the context of our golden text.

This man of God stood for the Lord at a

time when most of his peers, contemporaries, and people were

not willing to stand for anything. Does that sound familiar?

That sounds like where you're at today. There's a lot

of people unwilling to stand for anything. It has been

said that if you will not stand for something, then

you will fall for everything. This prophet of Jeremiah was

not one to fall for any and everything.

This man, like many in these pews.

Tonight, had dedicated his life to.

Worshiping only the Lord.

He believed in the Law of Moses.

He protected it, and he promoted it, and he was

not ashamed to keep those teachings.

He believed in it.

And if you believe in something, you will practice it,

and you will be faithful.

To it even when it is tried and tested.

Think of the strength and the courage this weeping prophet

had in order to withstand daily threats, including death threats,

false accusations, persecutions, and more.

People in this building tonight.

Will remember a time that Jeremiah was cast into a

pit for simply preaching what thus saith God.

There are people in this building today that have been

verbally persecuted, and some have even been smitten by the

hand of their neighbor for proclaiming the truth to them.

This prophet, Jeremiah had courage. Certainly, he was create courageous.

His courage was a second to that of the three

Hebrew Children. Those were men who stood up to the King,

the Emperor, Nevicandessar. They had been threatened, Their lives were

in jeopardy, They were in a peril because they refused

a bow down in worship and admiration to Him, his Idol,

and his gods. These men were courageous. They were not

afraid to buck the system. They wanted to please God

rather than pleasing men.

You will remember that the Apostolic brethren, the Disciples of Jesus,

they were more interested in pleasing the.

Lord than they were to pacifying or pleasing the authorities

of their day. One of them said, should we not

obey the Lord and forget about what these dignitaries and

authorities and officials are saying. You'll find in this Word

of God that men like Jeremiah.

The three hebrew.

Young men, and also those that are found in the

Faith catalog, specifically the eleventh chapter of the Book of Hebrews,

they were courageous. You know, the Bible said that the

righteous are as bold as a lion, and there is

no doubt that the righteous person that has been possessed

by the Holy Ghost will become even more bolder in

supporting their doctrine and holding firmly the teachings of Jehovah God.

In the faith of adversity, the children of God are

not afraid to stand strong. The ten Boon sisters during

the Holocaust of the Jews, they were not hesitant at

all to make clear to all those that were around

him that they were against what ad Al Hitler and

his cronies were doing to the Jewish people. And these

were females, not altogether males that stood against the Nazis.

There were females that stood against him as well.

Brother Aaron Wood. It wasn't only.

Men who took courage in times of adversity.

We find a biblical example of this. And clean Esther

she stood.

When the time came for her to stand. It was

this past Saturday morning. I woke up with those words

on my heart.

Esther said, Empire.

Die, then I die. If I perish, then I perish.

I must do what God told me to do.

Come on, now, I know, old and Esther was one

to obey morn to Chai as well as her heavenly father.

The Bible said.

That clean Esther stood when the time came for her

at a stand. After I heard those other words Saturday morning,

I heard this phrase or expression. It is a biblical expression,

having done all the stand stand. It wasn't long after

God spoke those words to my heart that a young

pastor from a certain state reached out to me about

a certain issue.

And he was being challenged for he is stand something.

As simple as a platform stand the devil, said a challenger.

We may feel like the devil was not involved, But

any time a man of.

God, a woman of God, or a person of God

takes a stand for truth and righteousness, when a challenger

of surfaces, it is certainly not a.

God and not always of their own choosing.

I believe there is satanic activity involved.

We believe the saint could be said with an emperor.

Neficantnessiph demanded in the street Hebrew children bow before his

golden image, and they were not afraid to stand talk

in the face of adversity. Concerning Esther, in Esther chapter

number four and verse number six, I believe it is

the Bible said, gogether together all the Jews that are

present in shoeshin and fast ye for me, and neither

eat nor.

Drink three days, neither day or night.

Also, and my maidens will fast likewise.

And so will I go into the king, which is

not according to the law.

And if I perish, I perish.

Escar went through with her plan of approaching a Hasrous

on behalf of her people and her constant moor the Chao.

When she had not been called for by a Hassros.

This woman went in and.

Done the unthinkable and the unimaginable.

She walked into the presence of the king, knowing very well.

That the deafinity was the punishment for an action such

as this.

No one dared do such a thing.

But on the.

Flip side, that queen before her investing. The Bible said

that on a Sunday, a hashless requested that the queen.

Come to a party, and that she accompanied him, and

she declined.

To do what the king had asked her to do.

Can I tell you.

She was courageously to gift on that day? You're getting

him now, aren't you. You see, on one side, Esther

is standing strong for her people, and she's standing tall

in the face of adversity to accomplish the.

Will of the Lord.

Can I tell you that sometimes people stand for something

and they feel like they're standing for some good reason,

but now they're standing.

For all of the wrong reasons.

You see, Master was standing for herself, and Esther was

standing for her God, her cousin.

More to chaos, and for her people. I want to

tell some.

Young men and young women in this place up here

tonight that it's okay for you to get emotional, or

it's okay for you to get angry sometimes, but you

better make sure that you are in enough the right

frame and state of mind with your courageous for you're giving.

It right now. Sister, how will lasts me? The other day?

She said, how do you come up with this stuff?

I said, honey, I do not come up with it.

The Holy Ghost comes up with this.

And God's been dealing with me for several day about

the difference in Basty and Esther. Both of them seemingly

are being rebellious to the law. One though, is in

obedience to God and God's will and God's plan, while

another she is just totally, entirely, altogether disobeying the commandment

of the king who was her ruler. You see, God

had no business whatsoever in the affairs of a haserous

and vasity.

They were not God fearing people for the most part.

Come on, now, you see the Bible, students and the

reader's present tonight will remember that Vasti, the first queen,

was replaced with Esther for her refusal to come into

his presence. I wonder how many people are absent tonight

in our church's worldwide cyclopic calls. They got upset about

something the preacher said, and seemingly with great courage on display,

perhaps even through a written letter or a nasty email

or a nasty text, they challenged the Sunday school teacher

that told them.

The truth, or they challenge an error in the.

Church that spoke the truth with love of them. Or

perhaps they got on social media and got in some

messaging check group and they shredded the pastor and the

personal lady so courageously.

Was it a good display of emotion?

That?

Was it really the kind of courage that a Christian

is supposed to have.

Now, I want to.

Tell you they were courageously contempt. The Bible sat in

Proverbs chapter number thirteen, and most of a thirteen who

so despised that the world shall be destroyed, but he

appeared the.

Commandment shall be rewarded.

Oh, come on, whenever this man in our texture and

whenever vast he did as well when they went against

the ornaces and the commandments.

Of the authority. When Jehovah come.

Roum, he chose to destroy and dismiss and ditcher God's word.

He chose to side of his own death wording. That's

what I want you to hold on here tonight. It's

called contempt. There's a lot of them out there than

a critical and the holiness Word of God, the Holy

impallable in every where, the God and the Holy message,

or the holiness preacher like but the Thomas character, and

they seem so courageous when they hit and they speak

out against the church, they seem so courageous as they

do things in their own way while abusing the scriptures

and saying I'm searching out my own salvation.

With fear and trembling.

But can I tell.

Every one of them tone.

When these people dismissed and ditch God's.

Word, they signed up their own death lorry.

And I want to tell some people and listen to

this message now and some that were listening to it later.

When you decide you're gonna go on, it gets the brain.

I don't learn to talk.

You're gonna do it your away, no matter what the

model says.

That has called contempt. You know what contempt is is.

The feeling that a person or the thing is beneath

the consideration. Again, it is the feeling that a person

and every thing is the need to consideration.

It's worthless. That's what the whole come in.

Whenever that man brow.

That's crawled in there hint of the King's chamber.

And he read it upon the king to.

Whol come did not lie what it said to Halkem.

Did not lie what de scribe was reading?

What is cantling?

Who recited to what may can ascribe.

It, said he.

And I'm telling you it doesn't.

Matter whether you like.

It can not.

It's God's word, and you can tow it in a

fire a.

Steal person, and you can toe to read in a

transcand at your disposal.

But in God's word, in a long way, in God's murdered,

he can a settle the shore. I feel that of

the Lord to say this again, wasn't that king who

was in Israelite king dismissed and ditched God's word?

He chose to sign his own death warrant.

And that's what they're doing, Sister Howell.

They're willingly ignorant of the things that.

Are in that book. When they turned through.

The leaflets of those pages that are behind them leather binders.

And they speed up their reading.

They begin to speed read through things that are plainly written,

and they are so plain that a fifth grader could

understand what the Spirit of God was saying through these

highly intelligent men of God, like the prophets Jeremiah, I want.

You to know, brother road Camp.

Going back to Mashta, the Bible said she refused to

come after receiving a request and esther she successfully was blessed,

but she came without receiving a request.

One received a request and was cursed.

Another did not receive a request and it was blessed.

How many feel that it took a lot of courage

for Basti to tell a hazrous no. I'm sure there

was some of those emotional beings that lived in the

concabout house with masted that would have said, you go, girl,

that was a bond move.

You showed him, didn't you? Are y'all with me now,

I know?

Preaching it here tonight here, I'm sure there were tomb's

going up as somebody did their eyelashes.

As somebody curled their hair, as somebody painted their toniils.

So he told him, didn't you? That was very courageous

for you to.

Tell a pass for us okay, or to to give

him a piece of your mind. I could see them

girls in the girl club saying, we told that man

exactly what he needed to hear.

Oh, come on in.

That's what they do. They've been in a holiness church

and they've heard the holiness preaching. They know they've heard

the preaching of a man I'm a sent from God,

and they walk right out of the House of God

and they meet behind closed doors and they say, you

send the text, and you.

Let him know we're not coming back. You tire off.

Let me response for her. And now I ain't coming

back to church. No, I know how cold they leave

holding us.

It's necessary.

Go ahead, they me courageously content if you want to

go ahead in this God man, go ahead and miss

miss up God's gird. Go ahead and bitch, God's murdered.

That's the holy hurt.

What I want you to know.

It will come back up to haunt you.

I said that he will without it out that come

back to haunt you.

Go ahead and put on that narrow knee links kirt.

Go ahead and step clip, trim that hair.

Go ahead and be courageous and do it the way

you want to in.

The spirit of mesty.

Go ahead and tell God, no, that's not what your

word says. Go ahead and be rebellious and raising and stubborn.

Go ahead, preacher and book that elder preacher.

Go ahead and right, Preacher and the pastor I hedn't

get mad.

And was spared with a word of emotion.

Go ahead and get mad and desplay a crazing courage.

It is still courage at all.

I'm here to tell you God with me for Shaturday morning,

to tell who he ain't courage.

It's contempt.

I want to tell Dusty, she's in hell right now.

It was a courage. Gods, it was contempt. And I

won't have the backslider how the home in his tail

and it's.

Far the Lord like God. It was not courage when

you lip coming to the mail car.

It was not courage.

When you study that.

Still in put of all the smooth mooky, there is contempt,

the rageous me contempt.

I'll do a holy good smation gat.

There right down, all the sweet Jesus that us right

here in this building right now.

I play that the seventy five people him in this

building right now will see it from what it is

when they come in with a fresh manicure and a

pedicutre and they walk into that hole in this church where.

Daddy's the pastor or re apostle pastor, and it's still

the whole saw.

Them years when they come in, had a highway in

that skirt, and it's not the right let.

They can act courageous, they can act bold, They can

act like they found their own salvation.

Get out here and trembling. They can act like they

got the tiger by the tail.

They can be courageous. They can demand if they sing

on the fire parla. They can act like they're talking

him tongs that I want you.

To know that is not the codic.

Go read something God.

This looks the part that is contail talking. I said

that that is contailed talking.

You remember that nobody said nothing. You have a feeling

that that there word of God that they're holding us.

People were no longer war talking considerace.

And I'll tell you there.

I said, you just stand there, mother.

They're the world, oh no, lifeless.

And when they choose to come in, they signed their

own as what.

I need somebody to bringing a piece of paper as

quickly as you can to Hey, man, I feel like

God is about finishing.

With me right here.

Brother.

It meant something.

Whatever Eric wrote this writing that you who will come

ended up with sister, how it meant something to God

And it means something to God's man, the good prophets Jeremiah,

the one whose.

Notes were staying with tears.

You could say, oh you want to that, I don't

know that Jeremy Howell or Jeremiah the prophet in the

Bible have weeped over their notes.

You wouldn't know how much we have wept over the backslider.

You wouldn't know how much we have wept over those

that have been courageously contempt and decided to go another way.

But one thing we cannot do is show or demonstrate

weakness that the princeps are those that are courageously contempt

Because I'll tell you this, the three Hebrew young men,

we're not weeping on that day that they stood in

front of Delapomnurser and all the governors and the captains

of the lamb, when.

All the entertainers and all all of the musicians and

all of the magicians.

We're doing their thing, Hebrew bods in a sea of

other people. They were courageous, and they were as bold

as a lion.

But they were not contempted because they were not doing

what I never can answer told him to do. They

knew it's been an old by God in the obey man.

And I'm telling you it's the spirit of asting and

not the spirit of est on charity.

How is the spirit of Esther.

And Sister Iris, it's.

The spirit of est On Sister Terry, it's the spirit

of est.

On, Sister Practiss Hammond, it's the spirit of uest They

would rather do what God said, and do you for

a man's saying, it doesn't matter your preacher compromises.

It and Basili that come on the spirit of besting.

You allow you to compromise with it, allow you to not.

Do anything about him. But the spirit of esther, it

will challenge it.

I said, it will.

Challenge her it you know, it will challenge her all.

And his knocking kits an asway.

O God, how many felt that there was a lot

of partying going on in Master's camp. Somebody served the bubbly,

somebody served the Champagne.

I finally got old enough to tell Hassis my mind.

But I can tell you when the knock came on

the door, and it wasn't a pennyback, oh God in Heaven,

but it was a forceful knock.

Hey, I'm telling you.

If I still right, then dropped her makeup, cause, in

other words, she dropped her crayon.

And kipp because she was worried about the curl of

her eye.

Lassis or all ours extensions and pour In.

Time, the guard came here and said, do you not

know who requested of you that you be in his princess?

And I'm telling you, we know who's worned this.

He is and we know the law that he's the creed,

and we know what he said.

And could choose to not do enough this, could choose

to sin.

Now, for he that knows ates to do, tell and

do it and not to him in a sin, in

a stealing about.

The nation, for a moming aware of that and pre

clean to tell men, that's all waste in that way.

And it's the same as today.

It is the decree of the canny.

And I want to tell some sad Decisius, and I

want to tell some party, and Pat sees.

The party's about over. It's a fearful thing to fall

into the hands oh the living God.

That was the wrong moment, sister, He'll prove asked you

to play hero for heroin.

That was the wrong moment to be a hero and

display courage.

Jehoa, that was the wrong moment.

God moved on the week of Prophet Jeremiah.

He told ark you write them words, and they went

down there to the city square, and they preach what

Jeremiah heard from God.

And Barrick is just a reading, and.

The city councilmen and the county commissioners, they listen to

what's being preached, and they take the book and says,

you know what, we probably got to take this.

One into the court of the king and let him

hear it.

And while Jehoak comes listening to what Jeremiah though prophet

said he'd had a pity party, he pitched the little

fit right there in that room, and he started destroying

what does say it to the word of God?

And I wonder how many of these little.

Boys and girls, you're adults and older people have to

shigne the picture their.

Little fitting to be emotional. I said, it's been charged

with emotion.

Every example that I've given here ton that they become

courage courageous.

In the wrong way, in the wrong time.

To every woman who saved a Walter out of the.

Holiness Church to live a different way, it must you

be a courageously click tempt And I want you to

know when you dissed and dismissed it and.

Did the word of Toadter, he shigned you all that what.

I want to display a courage we showed by the

howel we showed by the rich, we showed by the garbage.

We showed Brother.

Nathaniel, we showed Brother Philip, it's okay for a woman

to have short hair.

You did it through being.

Courageously contempt I cant what God said to his man

was worthless, not even.

Worth careful consideration. Don't you think every word of God?

The Bible said, every word of God is profitable for doctrine.

Don't you believe every word of God? It's like apples

of gold and pictures of silver. Y'all have heard what

has been said about this man and died up the

road here. They said he was off duty for the

most part. He decided to be a hero at night

after him and some others had partied him. And it

has been said that the Hispanic man did not know

that he was an off duty officer, and he felt

like he was being attacked. I don't know who's right

and who's wrong, but you know, nevertheless, that man chose

to be a hero out of uniform. He chose to

be a hero hero offered duty. And I'm trying to

keep you too long here he changes to be a hero.

And I want to tell Vastie and I want to

tell jehoa, come right here, you're in hell right now?

Did it pay to be a hero for an hour?

Did it pay to be a hero for a day?

Did it pay to get.

Mad and the book the preacher and to go in

the bathroom, to go out the church, start to get

in the rest of you? Did it pay to turn

your boy the.

Dad's house up atmosphere into a horrible pain?

Did it pay to keep the water?

Did it pay to throw the chair?

Did it pay to get mad?

For my God in heaven. I don't care how old

you are. If you live in your pair of house,

you bide by their rusa. Are you ready?

Hey?

This up before sunrise? Then I will save up pay man,

I will.

Sing up what deceit her?

You may color you that I I told brother Jeremiah.

I said, as long as you live in my house,

you go by my rules.

And as long as you profess to be a Christian

that lives in this kingdom and that after kingdom New Jerusalem,

you will go by his rules.

This prince and princess at so courageous.

There's me can mild mannered sister Walker, and I'll go

Prince and.

By like they got a license to sin, like God's

holding us to.

Pentecostal churches are giving out indulgences for free, and you

know what, I'm starting to believe that they are.

In the messages and the way they're preaching, and in

the way they're saying things.

They're basically they're saying everybody wakes up every morning going

to sin. I know that God is a merciful god.

I know God loved us at our worst. I know

God loves the entire lost world. But you're supposed to

walk away from that experience, say I was lost, but

now on power.

And everybody that has been paled, they're like the particle.

So that tell her they're now living in the Father's

house and they're living by the Father's rooms Baltimore.

Now.

They want must have believed that they can come home

up and keeping the way with something metality.

It will never happen.

The Father may it clear.

We're gonna change some things. We're gonna change some things.

You wanna live here.

It was a courage by definition, Sister Howell, When Jehoak

have done that, When mast have done that, Brother's there.

They was stupidity at best and rebellion at worst. It

was totally off the mark, young preacher, when you get mad,

you lose your cool. You construct all you want to

and say, I'm just as courageous as Pastor is. Hey,

I tell them I'm a fifty year old man and

I'll live however, and I want to live. I'll tell

them how things are gonna be. Hey, little girl, you

tell mama, I live in your.

House, but what I do with my hair is my business. Listen,

if you're.

Ten years old, what you do with your hair is

your mama's business. And whether you're able to provide for yourself,

then you can do whatever you want to with your hair.

But I want to tell mastere there comes a consequence

for every act of disobedience. Oh, come on now, Just

as people today have a pastor or a spiritual leader

who gives them insights and instructions to all of them

at the same in Jeremiah, it's not that they don't know,

they don't want to hear. It's the crowd throughout the

Book of Revelation the half years to hear him.

Here jehollanicamb just simplate did.

Not let to hear.

You know what, We can't do anything with that.

We can't do anything that with somebody here who is

courageously contempt.

Jehoakam had so much in the preacher and the prophet Jeremiah.

Some of you said tonight, We've got so much here,

and I'm thankful for it.

God told Jeremiah the prophet to let Jehoaicm know that

he wasn't happy about the idolatious practices taking place throughout

the land. And brother, just of course Jehovah, God that

had told him to have no other gods before him,

was upset about it. But to make matters worse, Jeholica's

father had done a.

Little bit and as much as he could to remove

idolatry from those people.

So Jehoricam's father was doing his to clean up the

house of God, if you would, and Jehoame's coming in

here saying, all right, everybody, just slide to the nail parlor.

I remember sister Athleen Harris telling me.

Of a time when a preacher began to back up,

and she said this was years ago, and she said

he passed to hold in his church out in the

rural part of America, in the country area and the

country setting, and didn't have a whole lot of people.

But she said, this preacher had been raised right, and

this preacher had a good pedigree in holdliness, and people

that had taken prayer seriously, people that had taken Bible

reading and Bible studies seriously.

People that loved church, people that have went to church for.

Weeks and months on end, sometimes even up to a year.

I believe in times just having consecutive services and miraculous

things taking place, and people could saved and sanctified and

born again. It's just such a place that people thirty

to fifty years later went.

To just to pay homage. And I'm trying to, you know,

trace the roots and feel the presence of God.

And now Sister Ethlene Harris, she said that she said,

this preacher's son came to.

Power, if you would, he kind of like Jehoaka.

He came into place in the position, and she said,

he started saying things that were a little bit questionable.

It sounds kind of similar to this preacher that's told

people it's okay to wear plunging necklines and leading by

example through.

His wife and to weere sheer material from the wrist

of the shoulder.

You might as well be wearing a tank top right,

if you'd see the entire arm.

Oh God, God help me right here. I know I'll meddling.

But sister Ethlene Harris told me this is probably about

sixteen years ago, and she said this was her pastor,

and she said this to how they're in the services.

He just got the same simple sentences and things that

made you kind of doubt the stand of the former

generation and kind of made you doubt the necessity of

some of the things that had taken place as people

got convicted there and then.

Revival meetings and the camp meetings and things that people

were laid down.

Maybe it wasn't necessary for the next generation.

To lay them down.

And she said, he just got to strategically planning these

seeds of doubt and somewhat just slightly throwing down on

his heritage just enough to make people not take it seriously. Now,

that's what Jehoicum was doing right here in this court.

He was making people in his court think, I don't

take this seriously. When he dismissed it and ditched it.

He was trying to discredit the writing of Barry describe

and profit Jeremiah. And so that's what this preacher was

doing you know, And that's what a lot of them do, sister,

when they get a hold of some of doctrine on

teaching and somebody come up with and they find a

little hole and something, and that's all they ever harpooned

when they want to destroy holiness people and go and

talk about that one little abstract sac.

Of holiness of preacher gets the color red, or they

want to talk about that one little segment of preaching

his Coca cola, and they make care of everybody that's

part of the program.

Looked like a bunch of coops.

Writer, and that's what that's what you hulk was doing.

Brother Jesse, he was playing out, not taking it seriously

on purpose.

And Sister Ethlene Harris said she finally listened to him.

And one day he said, let's all go down to

the beach, sister whooting, and she said, my body had

never wore a bathing suit, and he had told all

of them, you wear a bathing suit.

Under that holiness attire.

And at a certain point, we'll just take her towels

and we'll.

Walk up to the water and we'll load our bathing suits,

our towel down and was slipping into the water. And

our bathing suits, and Granny Harris said she wasn't out

there about about two or three minutes, and she said

something spoke to her and said, you have been duped,

and you had been to the trap has been made.

And she said she looked her and she would tell

me a lot of things.

On a Sunday afternoons when we were in that car together,

and she said her pasture was gooden.

Lining her and I balling her, and she said he

had me. And she said, I remember thinking, I've got

to walk out of this water. I've got to walk

through the same bar. I've got to walk through the shallows,

trying to cover up my neckedness.

And she said, I got to my towel. I put

my towel around me.

After my neckedness somewhat.

Had been revealed to all of those I went to

a holiness church with her.

All of them years. And she said I felt like

a fool.

She said, I marched up there, got my clothes on.

I tried off and I said, take me to the house.

I'm not interested in this party. You know, the rest

is history. When everybody else for SIRC the out standing

of holiness, as far as I know she's one of.

The only ones that he do it.

They all started, weel, what's a hold income?

I say, and this did Chuck the God.

Who less this?

Missen that this?

So I want you to know who you did that right?

Who signed that car?

And the holdiness church and lill s long time they're

holding us chur Chuck, you're not part.

Oh my God, he speaking, Get Chuck all you are

to We'll tell the sword.

You want today. I'll tell you to talk.

Let's stay with you, h Gosh, because you want to saybody,

everybody that day you Jeremiah back, we're talking the words

of God. Everyone knew, and God was trying to speak

as to how everybody knows. God's trying to bring about

sanctified living, holy hearts, pure minds, innocence, virtue. This is

my burden tonight. I noticed Jehovaicame's response. He took the right,

he slashed it and talks to it.

In the earth.

But God knew his word would not return to him

want and he.

Would accomplished that word too. He had sent it, and

even though Jeremiah of offense, Sister Hannah was bound, it

went from the hand of the scribe Barrick to the

city council, the county commissioners, right into the chamber of

the King.

And I'm preaching the people tonight. You've heard it. You

know what hon says, and I want to say and

close it. If you build again those things you it's destroyed.

You're my friend, You're.

My friend, or a transgression.

The truth is to Holcombe and Vassie didn't want to

hear what spiritual leadership had to say because in Vashiti's world,

Pastrous was God, he was the answer, and the holocamst world,

Jeremiah was the of Jehovah God, and Sister, how it

is true the consequences would come even if he did

seem courageous enough to defy God. In God's man, you

can never expose in tonge els today like you can

hide that.

Pedicure under socks. And I'm gonna tell you, God knows

you can tram aside of your hair with a curling

urn burned flap. God knows.

On that mindset would lead you to stand in a

puppet and lead you to preach with hair, Lady, friend.

As short as a man's.

You have contempt for what does saith God don't blame

sister who for being a member of a cult. She's

a keeper of the law. And when we speak of

the law, we're not talking about the law of Moses.

We're talking about the law of Jesus. We all talk

about how do you get to the place you're so

contempt You develop a feeling, a strong emotion. The holiness

and righteous, sanctified living is beneath the consideration says, how

can they walk by you and feel your testimonies worthness God,

sister hell and you're part of the country and seabrand.

How can they walk past you and act like your

testimony is worthless?

It's contempt.

You told me to tid.

Whoso despises the word shall be destroyed, but he the

fearth the commandment shall be rewarded.

And in the spirit of Esther, Tonight, I say, if.

I die, let me die preaching holdings, if I die,

let me die a preaching the King.

If I die, let me die a love of my

Savior being.

The same today as the word yesterday.

You don't do nothing wrong.

Listen some young people, and then to pray tonight. There's

seventy five people in the building, but you need to pray.

Is there something working in your heart that mom and

dad don't go about, maybe only.

Two or three some that are listening, some that will listen.

Is this something working on the inside of you that's

gonna eventually take your spiritual life? That's about our heads

and close the eyes. Is there a young man or

a young woman tonight that would come and pray the

Devil's convince you that it's courage and doing it your

own way? Is there somebody was feeling tonight? How about

an adult you'll come tray? All these heads are about?

These is the two people that would raise your hand

and say it's me cos there's one, is there another,

there's the second, There's there another, there's two already. That's

what I felt, that there could be somebody up owing

them up. Two out of seventy five courageously contempt.

I'm just going to do it because I'm.

My own man.

I can make my own decisions.

And you see that speed limit side.

It says forty five, and you choose to drive seventy five.

You have a feeling at that side.

Little Morningside is beneath your consideration.

But that little mom and dad up the road, whose

little boys ride the stream about to cross the highway.

Knows that it's there for a reason. There's two in

the building of seven.

Five?

Is there another? Let's just find a place to three.

I know what pastor has been preaching. He's told me

what to do as a provided.

He's told me what to do.

As a husband, as a wife, as a child. Have

you marken an instruction? Are you trying to figure out

a way to do it your will?

Are you working up to your own will? Are you being.

Considered careful about God's will and God's plan?

Oh?

How she felt so good when she told King a hastis,

But judgment came. It's the wrong moment to be a hero.

No matter how much courage you displaying, ma'am, you walked

away courageously contempt of God's word.

There's a reason we live like we do.

There's a reason why we try to live the way

we do. There's a reason why we strive here in

the straight gift. There's a reason why we raise as

children the way we do. There's a reason why we

try to have a holdiness heritage and holdness in Holdiness

of the heart.

Holdness of the iron, holdness of the.

Spirit, holdness of the tie sactifies something from the world different, of.

A different spirit than what the world has. And I

feel like, somebody just listen now and that will listen later.

If you'll be honest and not courageously contempt, you already identified.

And they those celebrities, they're lifestyle choices, they're claim the

choices all the mind are claiming.

To be a keeper of Jesus' words, courageously content.

I wish we'd prayed for a little while, ask God

to search your heart and said, God, if there's any

wicked way yet.

Me, please show me and let me time.

There's a sweet, sweet conviction in this place. There's nothing

in the world like this that we're filling right down.

That's when you're since service started to no conviction. If

any man drives back, he said his soul would have

no pleasure and delight in that.

Wyn draw that back.

What she had, not that I had no.

Ches. Your change her chance.

Let's see, it's say they take a chance.

That's a HARDIHO.

It's a part issue. It's the very times le's time.

It's the only as the best. But that's the bea.

I not take a chance. I take any chance I'll

take to. It's the way that let's drive leaste all

all that.

The rule is never the word history, it relieve the

r to.

You're asking me to change to count.

To every way.

I'm not taking any chances.

With people.

Look at me, Bason, I'm just to.

Leave the meal fashion.

He can't believe we after all these years, I see

you and.

W I do.

He's seen the times have changed today.

There be awass you could still have the blessing.

Ivout live in that way.

You can think what you please, But what I found

on my knees be said anything for offs.

So I'm not taking the.

Oats Trim.
