When God Breaks The Glass - Bro Jesse Howell 7-30-2025

Amen, I'm looking for the nearest hold of Crawley. And Amen,

I'm telling you, didn't you enjoy that tonight?

Amen.

I appreciate what God said to us through the preachers

here tonight.

Amen, through all the psalms.

Amen, all that's been said and all that's been done,

which is so grateful for all that God has done today.

Amen.

Looking forward to what this service holds, Amen, looking forward

to what the night holds for us.

Amen. We're hoping God will come in here and help somebody. Amen. Amen.

I've spent much much prayer. Amen.

I'm not boasting every preacher that preachers should be able

to say that I've spent much much prayer, I assure.

You over this, and I'm just looking forward to God help.

And I say, Amen, I've cried and I've said God,

I can't do it, nothing that I can do.

Amen.

I had just a few sentences of fault and it

was all I was getting.

It was as far how I was getting every time

I pray.

I have those few sentences, Amen, And I said, God,

if you feel.

My heart, amen, I'll know that it was you. Amen.

And I'll know that God has been with us today. Amen.

I appreciate all that's been said.

As I've already stated here, I appreciate this service tonight.

You know, I've often heard it said that about talked

about a God a God sized home.

Amen. And I found that to be true in my life. Amen.

In a point in a point at a time in

my life.

Amen, I felt that God sized hole in my life

where I'll try to pray.

Different things in there.

Amen.

You say you sat on the church view, Yeah, I

sat on the church forew and I tried to feel

my heart.

With things other than God. Amen. I try to feel it.

I crayed it full of all kinds of stuff. Amen.

I never went out into the dreadges of sin. Amen.

And I'm thankful for that.

And that's because.

Of a praying mom and dad. Amen. I prayed Mom,

and I pray and dad Amen, in a shelter home.

And I'm just so grateful.

But we've heard about the God sized home. And do

you feel the pastor sized hole tonight?

Amen? I just feel it. Amen.

I thank God and I don't have the God sized

hole tonight anymore.

Amen.

And I'm looking for her to Sunday.

Amen. Our pastor will be back. I do appreciate this

opportunity to preach. I'm sure he's listening. I love y'all,

Thank you very much. We miss y'all terribly. It's never

the same and it will never be the same.

Amen. We just missed them and loved them.

I appreciate the Lord which you turn with me tonight

to the book of James.

This is very different from me. Amen.

I've never, as far as I can remember, I've never

preached a.

Sermon quite like this. Amen. It's just all news to me.

So but this is I couldn't get away from it.

Amen.

I love preaching storylines, Amen.

I love preaching the word of God and the miracles

that God has done.

And he just wouldn't give me one tonight. Amen. He

just wouldn't give me his story. Man. I'm telling y'all,

I prayed and I sought God.

But I'm just believing that God's gonna meet us here today, Aden.

Amen, James.

The fourth chapter very familiar scripture here tonight, James.

The fourth chapter. I was just gonna read one verse.

Let's start at once number thirteen. Go to now ye that.

Say today or tomorrow we will go into such a

city and continue there a year and buy and sell

and get game. Whereas ye know not what shall be

on tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even

a vapor that appeared for a little time, and then

vanisheth away. Amen, I want to preach for just a

little while, a simple thought. Oh, when God breaks the glass, Amen,

when God breaks the glass, would.

You lift your hands to heaven and help us pray

tonight be all. We thank us so much for your business. God.

I thank you for your mercy.

And your brass, and I thank you for your kindness

and all that you've done for us.

God.

BE asked right now that you would give us wisdom, Lord,

that you would give us what we need to say

to someone. God, that you would give us what we

need to say to some heart, some life. God.

I asked that you would help us Lord, hide us

behind the cross.

God, let him see you not be let him hear

your word, not mine. God. I asked that you would

anoint your word. Lord, anoint our ears to.

Hear God, and help us to apply it to our life.

Or a minute change us. God, let it take us

and mold us into what we need to be. We'll

be sure to give you all the praise and we'll

give you all the glory into pray in Jesus' wonderful name.

Amen, and Amen, thank you for staying for.

The reading of God's word. I might be a little

bit slow getting started here tonight.

Amen, We're gonna, We're on. We're going somewhere.

I want to get.

I want to get somewhere.

I have a destination in mind, and I want to

get there tonight. A vapor, a haze, or a mist

seems to be tangible to someone that may not be

familiar with it. A child may even try to reach

out and to grab it.

Amen.

They might try to reach out to a vapor or

a cloud of spoken and try to grab it.

Amen, with their hair. They might try to get a

hold of it.

And imagine, I imagine they just might be all strunk.

Whenever they pull their hand back, expecting to hold something, and.

Whenever they look in their hand, they have nothing.

They are holding nothing, Amen, And what they thought was

there was not really there.

The rioter James says that our life is but a vapor. Amen.

And when we look at our lives, we may see

it at first like the child does.

Amen.

And when we see our life and we see our

time that God has given us. We see it fall,

and we see it flourishing.

Amen.

But as time goes on, we begin to realize how quickly.

It begins to fade.

Amen.

At first, when we look at it, it looks like

it's right there and we can just see it, and

all of it is before us.

Hey, what The closer we look, and the closer we

get Amen.

In the longer we look at it, the more we

realize it's beginning to fade.

Amen. It is beginning to be less tangible than we

thought it was. Amen.

It appears for a little while and it quickly vanishes away.

Our life is made up by.

Something many considered to be our most valuable resource.

And that is at our time. Amen.

In the workforce, time management is referred to as a skill.

Amen. Those people that are good with their time, Amen.

Those people that have what they call good time management skills.

Those people are sought out because they can take advantage

of the time that they are giving.

Amen. Are elders here.

Tonight could could testify to the brevity of time. Time

is spent and never earned. The hour glass of our

life is flipped at birth.

And we begin to lose time and we begin to

run out of.

Time from the very moment we take our first breath.

In this life.

Amen, I can remember growing up in my parents' home.

I have many, many wonderful and cherished memories of my

early childhood.

Amen.

Playing in the backyard in the dirt, Amen, having army

games with green oranges. Amen, from the orange grooves that

surrounded our house. There where we live, Amen, we build forts, Amen,

we built hot outs.

Amen. And then suddenly I'm turning sixteen.

Amen.

I was fielding forts, and I was playing in the dirt,

playing hide and go seeking.

And now I'm turning sixteen. Amen. I got my first truck. Amen.

Then I finished school. Amen. I started a job. Not

long after, Amen, I fell in love and I got married.

Amen.

And now when I look down, I had four children

looking up at me. Where did time go?

Amen? Where did that time go? Amen?

When I was so young, I felt like I had

so much Amen. Still today I must admit I feel

like my life is ahead of me.

Ainmen, I feel like I got many more years.

But no man knows, Amen, just how much time we

hold in our hands.

No man really knows just how much sand is left

in our hour glass. A man.

No man really.

Knows time, wits for no one.

It marches to the beat of its own drum, and

it can be stalked by no.

One except the creator of itself. Amen. We cannot stop time. Amen.

We cannot pause time. We cannot rewind time. The only

one that.

Can give us time, that is God.

Amen.

The only one that can.

Stop time is God Almighty, the man Amen, God Almighty

that created it.

Aymen.

How many times have you heard in your life? If

I could go back, Amen, if I can turn that time,

I would do things a little different. Friend, We cannot

change it.

A man, we cannot rewind it.

Our life is but a fa We must take hold

of what we have. We must crap hold of what

God has given us and.

Taken fast of the time that God will allow us. Amen.

I am preach it tonight on the unbreakable glass.

When God breaks the glass, we cannot break it.

We cannot break that hour glass. Amen.

We cannot stop time from taking away, but God will

and God can.

Amaen.

As the sins of time slips through our fingers, it

can never be recovered or regained. So we must redeem it, AmAm.

The Great Apostle Paul told the believers in emphasis in

his Epistle to the Ephesians in chapter number five, in

verse number.

Sixteen, the bio says.

See then that she won't work, walk circumspectfully, not as fool,

but as wise redeeming.

The time, because the days are evil worse number sixteen.

If you pay attention when you're training, when you're going from.

Verse fifteen to verse number sixteen at the end, Amen, it.

Lets us know that sixteen is just a continuation.

Verse number sixteen is simply a continuation of verse number fifteen.

Amen. Paul is exhorting those.

Believers in that time and us today through the sacred rent,

that the wise among us, Amen, walk not as fools,

but as wise redeeming the time, but as wise redeeming

the time. This tells me that a full regards not time, Amen.

A fool regards not the time of his life. We

just slip it out of his grass. But a wise

man will understand that he only has been given so

much time, and he must redeem that time.

That God has given us.

The wise among us will take advantage of the little

bit of time that we are given, and we will

see to it that we use it wisely. By doing good,

by living righteously, by guarding our thoughts and guarding our

hearts from an evil that absolutely surrounds us.

To Amen, we.

Do not have an overflowing abundance of time.

It is very precious. We have only been given yet

a little while to walk this side of heaven. Amen.

Job said this man that is born a woman is

a few days.

Amen. We only have the time that God has.

Allowed us, and we cannot know the duration of that alliance.

We have no way of really understanding. Amen.

We have no way of understanding if the youngest child amen, will.

Outlive the eldest elner here tonight, Amen, if the roles

will be reversed. Amen. On the subject of.

Time, tonight, Amen, I want us to look at three Amen,

sections of time that God has given a mandated Amen.

Look with me tonight at the accepted time.

Second Corinthians, chapter number six and verse number two says this.

For he's saying, I have heard THEE in.

A time accepted, and in the day of salvation have

I suffered THEE?

Be hope.

Now is the accepted time? Be hope, now is the

day of ovolation.

Here we read of a sub section of time that

the libel calls thee accepted time.

This is a little space of grace where taught Almighty

takes faults of each and every soul, past.

Present or future to ever walk earth.

And God takes the time to reveal himself to them,

and he offers.

Him a chance to come to him and.

Cast the cares of life of him.

Amen.

He offers him a little chance Amen, to learn of

Him and find reason and find purpose for their life.

Amen.

There is an accepted time for each sinner to come

to an althar of the Prince.

The man realize the.

Error of their way, acknowledge their plans, and that their

ideas have left him feel it lost and left him

feel it hopeless and nowhere to turn. God has appointed

a seven accept time Amen.

For every man, woman, boy, and girl Taylor walk the

faith of desert. God has given us.

Face and pace where they have an opportunity to come

before God.

They man and accept His love. They never peel for

their sin. The sad part here is this, there will

prove a time we repentance will no longer be accepted.

Amen.

Jesus is six and three says, and the Lord said,

my spirits shall not always strive with men. Amen. If

God will not always trive with man, and there must

be a point of time there we cannot race him.

They may want to.

Scare us all.

Whem and the time may man.

That God has set aside for us to come into

His pleasures.

To us to come afore and trong with sorrow. Amen,

we repentance all and are scary as all. When they

accept the.

Time has passed away, they may always scare us all.

When God closes the book of time.

And he said, this time is no more, maymen, I

will no longer accept the prayer of the sinner. I

will no longer accept the repetance prayer. God said, I

will not always strive with man. My spirit shall not

always strive with man. God is saying, I will not

always deal with you. Aymen, I will not always put

that desire to be right in your heart.

May I will not always put that desire to go

to church in your heart.

May if you push it off, and you push it off.

And you push it off, one day that door of time.

One day of that door an opportunity to close the

accept the time could be no more. You can find

yourself living in a time of rejection instead of acceptance. No.

I know we looked around here tonight it say, Oh God,

who is this for? Who is this?

Man?

I don't know who is for? But it's all God

would give me. Amen. So that's all I wanna give you.

That's what God gave me. Amen. I'd be a fool

to stand here and trying to preach something else.

I had about four or five other sermons that I

want to preach, Amen. I have all about I have

several other one and I wanted to preach Amen.

But God relate this on my heart and would not

let me get away from it. So I refuse to

not preach it.

Noah's spent many years building the art to save whosoever would.

Genesis six and three is pulled out of that Amen.

That is God talking to no saying I would not

always trying with them. My spirit would not always trying

with man Tha spent many years building the arc to

save whosoever would. But those around him may be sneered

at the accept of time.

Amen.

Perhaps they mocked the accept of time.

Amen.

When God closed the door to the ark, no one

would ever be accepted.

After God closed that door, time to be accepted onto

the arc was no more.

Amen, you had no chance to get in the accepted

time I had that.

Man, will not be another door open up the arc

half one door, and when that door has closed, there

will not be another open door. Don't find yourself standing

outside the door of acceptance.

For mine.

I must warn you here tonight have yet another period

of time that is sure to meet every one of us.

Those pass I've.

Already met this time, Amen, those still the born, still

to be born, we'll meet this time, amen.

And those of us that live here today and breath

God's there, we will meet this time. And that is

the appointed time.

The Bible says, we have an appointment, Amen Hebres nine

at twenty seven, and it is appointed a comn once tonight.

That time has been appointed, That time has already set,

That appointment's already.

Set, And our hour class is taken down. Our hour class,

just stick it away. Our appointment is getting closer and closer.

And if we fail the accept the time, if we

miss the accept the time, we will stand before God

have the appointed time.

We will have to answer. We will have to answer for.

All the deeds that we have tied. Okay, while we

pushed God away while we refuse to talk to an

altar and rend.

Our hearts and put to the horn.

We cannot escape that appointment. We must keep it. There

is no rescheduling the appointed time. When the hands of

time footing them, eternity begins.

When your thought.

Takes us lasted, eternity begins, there's no need over, there's

no restentle hing, Oh God, just give me one more minute.

That's all I need. I just need.

They say, that's God. No, that was earlyer it, that

was the accept of time. Now you got the appointed time.

Now you have the appointment that God Almighty said. It's

too late. The accept of time has passed. When God

takes the over.

Class of hourur lives.

In his hand.

And he does what all that he can do, he

shatters it. When he takes the hour glass of our

life and he prays it, and the saves of our

lives pour through his fingers.

Every deed we.

Ever did, every od word we ever said, that's.

The sand of our life, and the sand of our

life will slip through a love in God's hand.

Why did you not come to me in the time

of Sepon? Why did you not come to me in

the day of saluation. Now you're standing before me, and

I hold your broken life. What's left in my hands?

What's to show?

What do you have to offer? Sac of Corinthians fight

in ten says this, for we.

Must all appear before the judgment see of Christ, that

everyone may receive the things done in his body according

to that he hath done, whether it be.

Good or bad.

We will stand before God Almighty, the creator of time,

the creator of life, the one that holds our life

in his hand. We are at his mercy. With a

spoken word, we will meet the time appointed. We will

stand before God and answer for the things that we

have done. David prayed in Psalm sixty nine and thirteen.

But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, Oh Lord,

inacceptable time. My prayer to thee Oh God, is in

that prace of grace, Oh God. I'm not gonna wait

until the point of time old to beg for forgiveness.

Oh don't wait till you said.

It for the good Almighty, and say I really am sorry.

The time for that is passed. God's broke the glass.

Your time is no more. The time for repentance is passed.

Now you stand up on God, and you answer for

your words and for your deeds.

Oh pray to God in an acceptable time, Oh God, God,

in inacceptable kind.

Oh prayer to God.

Like tell you in anacceptable time. No excuses will be

except on the day of judgment Tias two and eleven.

For the graceome God that bringeth salvation, hath appeared.

To some on the face of the earth, to a

select few, and on the face of the earth, No,

no one has an excuse. Everyone every man castles face

and grace. Every man has an accepted time. For that

gracesome God that brings us salvation hath appeared to all man.

We must call on God while he may be found,

reach out to him and an accepted time. We are

not promised tomorrow. Don't waste away the years that God

has blessed you in.

No man knows the day for the hour of his.

Appointment with God. Life is too short to gamble with

your time. It cannot be stopped, it cannot be rewinded,

cannot be fast forwarded.

Today is the day of salvation. Now is the accepted time.

If you have breath in your body, now is the

accepted time. If you've gotten your voice and side that

wants to do. Right now is the accepted time. If

you've got breath, if you've got blood flown through your veins,

Right now is the day of salvation? Right now is

that space of gray? Say, God is allowed you.

Many people.

Have died believing that they had time on their side.

Many people have went to sleep and never woke up.

Went to sleep, not hurting it all, not feeling of pain,

not having a care in this world. Alarm sent for

work the next day, Lunce was packed in the fridge,

ready to go about their next day of work, and

the appointed time struck them unawares. God crossed the glass.

They had to answer for the.

Deeds that they had done. Thought about this on my

way home from work, I think, or at work.

Many people want God to be aware of their time.

Oh God, I needed you now, Oh God, I needed.

You yesterday, I need you tomorrow.

They expect God to care about their time frame when

they have no fault for God's time frame.

God has a time frame.

It has been appointed to die. It has been a

pointed once to die, and after this the judgment. After

that we have pushed past the accepted time. We come

face to face with God in the appointed time, when

we pushed past the except in time. We then come

face to face with God at the appointed time when

we must all answer for our deeds. And brother Nathaniel

is a witness to this. On the way to work

this morning, I did not know that this was a word.

Amen us halfway between label and Felda, and God spoke

into my heart. After the appointed time we will live.

In the after time.

After time is the future, and it is an actual word.

After time, it is one word.

We will forever be held captive to the consequences.

Of our choices, whether we.

Meet with God and the accepted time, or whether we

pressed past and we pushed forward by passing that accepted

time that God has given us. Could we stand here

this tonight I'm done? If we accepted, If we have

accepted Christ in the accepted time, we not. We need

not fear the appointed time or the after time, AmAm.

The after time consists of two very different places.

For eternity. After time, there's no end.

The accepted time will end, the.

Appointed time will end, the judgment will end.

There will come a time when the book of.

Life has been opened the last time, the last name

has been read.

There and the last name has been searched for there and.

The judgment will end, the appointed time will come to

a close. But friend, the after time will never end.

I once heard an illustration when I was but a

young boy, and I have never forgot it. God, I

heard a preacher saying that if I was to take

a knife with a very very sharp point, and every

one of us was to exit the building except the

man holding the knife, and he wants to walk over

to a secret place that only he knew, and he

made it the tiniest of mark on the wall, and

then he lets you back. And then you come back

into the sanctuary, and you search the house, and you

search the room, and you search the room and the walls,

and you search the floor and the base fors and

the doors.

Amen, And you're looking at every nook you can. And

if you were to find that.

Little pen mark, the little microscopic point, if you were

to find that eternity, that's not even begun.

The amount of time.

That you spend looking for that does not put a

bleak on the radar of eternity. Eternity is forever, and

it is forever, and it is forever and forever, It

never ends.

Time ends. Time will end. Our time to walk this

earth will in eternity will never end. How we live down.

Here, the choices that we make down here, if you

feel I pray.

And I pray, God will help us end tonight.

The choices that we make will dictate where we spend eternity.

Will you accept God and the accepted time? If you

have accepted God and accepted time, you need not fear

the appointed time, and you can look forward to the

after time. But if you push past he accepted time,

Oh friend, please be warned of both the appointed.

Time and the after time. That place where eternity never

never ends.

Oh God, oh God, I guess.

Starts. Yes, stud.

Just as in sam mosk to.

You as.

That syme be you you knows well say.

Step by say so school, see time.
