  1. The final authority, Brother Nathaniel, the high and lofty one

  2. in the high and lofty place. He spoke to me,

  3. It's a perfect match, Brother Nathaniel, Second Corinthians, Chapter number five,

  4. Verse number seventeen. Brother Jesse, Deuteronomy, chapter number twenty two

  5. and verse number ten.

  6. Brother Nathaniel, would.

  7. You read that, my brother, Second Corinthians, chapter number five

  8. and verse number seventeen, Please sir, For whether we be

  9. beside ourselves, it is to God, or whether we be sober,

  10. it is for your cause. Hey man, how many of

  11. you believe that, Brother Jesse, Deuteronomy, chapter number twenty two

  12. and verse number ten, theyll shalt not.

  13. Plow with an ox and an ass together?

  14. How many of you believe that to be true? Do

  15. y'all believe that to be true? Brother Nathaniel read a

  16. scripture for the love of Christ constraineth us, because we

  17. thus judge that if one died for all, then were

  18. all dead. I'm glad I'm not dead spiritually speaking, tonight,

  19. I'm thankful that there was a resurrection. I'm thankful that

  20. I'm not alive of myself, but I'm alive because of him,

  21. and because of him, I live and because of him.

  22. I'm a new creature because of him. Apostle Paul said

  23. in his writings, if any man be a Christ, he

  24. is a new creature. Old things have passed away. Behold,

  25. all things have become new. Let's stand for the reading

  26. of a golden text. Seca Corinthians, chapter number six and

  27. verse number fourteen. The Bible says, be he not unequally

  28. yoked together with unbelievers, For what fellowship path righteous with unrighteousness?

  29. And what communion hath life with darkness? Now you won't

  30. know why I exhorted the way I did a little

  31. while ago. Let's pray, Heavenly Father, we love and we

  32. praise you Lord. I love what brother Jesse says. I'm

  33. not mean and I'm not hard, but I do have amverder.

  34. I pray God that you would annoy this thy people,

  35. set a guard at their ears, and help them to

  36. hear what the Spirit of God has spoken to me

  37. to give to them. Without you, I cannot be your oracle.

  38. Without you giving me the man, I cannot be your messenger.

  39. I pray that you would annoyt me, your feeble servant.

  40. I'm not a phibishi, a dead dog. Bring me to

  41. your table and let us eat together. I prayed, Mord

  42. than nord my mouth, set a guard there, and help

  43. me to say only the things you would have me

  44. to say, nothing more than this. I pray that you

  45. would depart this place joyfully and not sorrowfully. In Jesus' name.

  46. In the church said Amen. Looking at your neighbors, say hey, neighbor,

  47. are you a perfect match to Jesus Christ. You are

  48. supposed to be the bride of Christ. Having of you

  49. feel like there's a compatibility between your spirit and his spirit,

  50. it's crucial and critical that you can answer with the

  51. resounding guests. Our textas found in a New Testament book

  52. of the Holy Bible, the Book of Second Corinthians. This

  53. Book of Second Corinthians is an epistle of the great

  54. Apostle Paul. I've always enjoyed reading the Pauline epistles. The

  55. letters of this great man of God opened up my

  56. understanding to the mindset of God. It's saved to say

  57. that Paul had put on the mind of Christ. So

  58. as to how it's saved to say that he was

  59. a student of the scriptures. More so, he was a

  60. student of the words of Gamel you'll find that he

  61. admitted that.

  62. He had been schooled at the feet of one of.

  63. The greatest and most prominent teachers within Judaianism. And I

  64. believe he became the Great Apostle Paul because of the

  65. learning that he received from the scriptures. We know that

  66. the protege or the student or the son of the faith,

  67. Timothy to the Great Apostle Paul, also had as a

  68. child learned of the Holy Scriptures. I'm preaching to people

  69. tonight that understand the scriptures. They understand what they're reading,

  70. what they're looking at. They have ears to hear what

  71. the Spirit.

  72. Of God is saying, unto the church, unlike the Ethiopian

  73. eunuch that stood out beside the.

  74. Body of water. Folks are hearing what the spirit of

  75. God is saying, and they recognize that God loves them

  76. enough that he would speak to them, like.

  77. The Salmists would say, He's mindful of being for that.

  78. I'm very thankful, and I can detect a sweet.

  79. Attitude of gratitude here tonight.

  80. I wonder about the recipients of such a letter. Speaking

  81. of Second Corinthians. There's people in the Church of corinth

  82. that had come from paganism. Did they have a good

  83. relationship for the Apostle Paul. The purpose of the first epistle,

  84. in the First Letter to the Church of Corinth was

  85. because Apostle Paul was very burned and that there were

  86. people trying to mix paganism with Christianity. They were trying

  87. to delude and pollute the Gospel.

  88. How many of you are thankful that this is God's word,

  89. we should not pollute it.

  90. I know a lot of preachers, even among the Pentecostal

  91. and independent Holiness churches, now they.

  92. Are willfully polluting and deluding the word of God. I

  93. don't want a preacher to hold back when he preaches

  94. to me.

  95. If God gives them a handful of.

  96. Script on purpose and says, deliver this letter to Jeremy Howell,

  97. I want to receive it gladly, hold it to my bosom,

  98. and after it's been spreakled with my tears.

  99. Of thankfulness, I want to open it up and read

  100. it and say thank you for and great love to

  101. my soul delivering me from the spirit of corruption that

  102. would lead to destruction.

  103. And so the great Apostle Paul, he begins to reach

  104. out to these people at this.

  105. Church, and he realizes, Brother Jesse, that his chewing of

  106. the faith have people that have come in.

  107. And their calls and problems, and there's controversies and conspiracies

  108. in the church.

  109. At some point people.

  110. Reaven a questioning his apostolic authority, and he addressed that

  111. he had to explain to them why he was who

  112. he was, and why he.

  113. Was the mail carrier, Brother Jesse.

  114. That breaks my heart when I think about a man

  115. as highly annointed as the great Apostle Paul having to

  116. validate his ministry.

  117. When I think about him, after.

  118. Going through everything that he's been going through in prison houses,

  119. he had to put pin the parchment and write these

  120. Pauline epistles the people that professed to be Christians. One

  121. of his concerns was these people might end up being

  122. yoked together with unbelievers. How many of you know that

  123. it is a concern of our Lord that you not

  124. be unequally yoked in all of your relationships, in your

  125. family relationships, in your marital relationships, in your spiritual relationships.

  126. It's very important that you be hitched to the right

  127. pool and partner. Apostle Paul realized that we.

  128. Can't have these schisms and divisions in.

  129. The House of God. One time, little Birdie's little mission

  130. just from a local assembly brought word to the ears

  131. of the Apostle Paul, and he said, there's some people

  132. generating confusion in that local church that you have established.

  133. In another place of Apostle Apol specifically addressed and called

  134. by name two spiritual sisters that were in the same

  135. spiritual house, and they said, I receive Syndickie, and you

  136. adduced that they be of the same mind.

  137. In the Lord the Prophet.

  138. Amos in chapter number three and first number three he

  139. spoke to people that called themselves to children of the.

  140. Most Hime God.

  141. He said, can two walk together except they be agreed?

  142. Will they be in alignment? Will they be in agreement?

  143. Since the Howl and I thirty two years ago we

  144. set in the houses of worship with marquis in the

  145. front yard.

  146. One set so and so assmbly of God. Of knowing

  147. the woman I.

  148. Attended said so and so church of God. They propessed

  149. him to meet you, an of the.

  150. Most High God. But even in.

  151. Their doctrine they differed. And it takes us to Howl

  152. and I very long to realize that we needed to

  153. be people of a common spirit, on a.

  154. Common bridegroom and on a common birk.

  155. You see the apostle Paul, he was.

  156. Speaking of these people in the land of Chritha about

  157. their unequally youra that they.

  158. Bore upon their shoulders, But cheer min, I do not

  159. believe that he was speaking of this in a positive

  160. a manner because he used.

  161. The word of God. Just let me know.

  162. That they had a choice as to whether.

  163. Or not they would continue being in such a situation,

  164. being unequally yoked together with unbelievers. What he's saying is,

  165. if you'll look to your ride and look to your life,

  166. you must see that you are not a polling partner

  167. with that person. When you pull in one direction, they

  168. pull in another.

  169. Come in.

  170. These saints of God are promuliar with that. I know

  171. that our young people or strangers to that, or perhaps

  172. that is why I'm preaching to them tonight, and one

  173. day that to come a time when you sit in

  174. a house of God and you realize that people are

  175. do not have the.

  176. Same mind that you have, that they need.

  177. Not possess them the same thoughts or particular topics and subjects.

  178. I want you to know here tonight, that is never

  179. the will of God.

  180. You know, whoever in the Word of God can I

  181. find it with the children of God.

  182. Opposed to agree, to disagree and stopped what Paul.

  183. Told you, adas and stop what Paul told him.

  184. This is why people who had innocent hearts, seekers of

  185. the truth in notmin the churches.

  186. Whether it was Catholic, Baptist, newt and Prescoteriati or Methodists.

  187. They salt to the Lord sincerely. They sought the Lord deliberately,

  188. and in time they had an experience within themself and

  189. you them U, that's the bride of Christ.

  190. Come with the bride grew and they prayed truth, and they.

  191. Smoke in tongues, and sister Howell, they came to church

  192. and sided about their new found experience. They came to

  193. church and sided about the gift that they read about

  194. in the Bible.

  195. They said they were no longer.

  196. Professors when they were possessors of such.

  197. A truth, only to be escort of a The deacons.

  198. Ever, they are right out of the house for God, sir,

  199. it was called deacon.

  200. Said to them, We'll have none of that here, you

  201. new wire me.

  202. Calls her Eve an a madness speaking an amadness. Pastor

  203. knows you cannot have a divided fuck a cat choosing

  204. something said to the apostle Paul, that concord.

  205. How cross them alive? What part ta to you?

  206. The believers whore in for them?

  207. What about it?

  208. Does the spirit no witness?

  209. If it does, do a say hell me?

  210. If it does, God, he will say, why me? I

  211. remember thinking, why am I not feeling what I need

  212. to feel? Why am I not doing the things that

  213. others do?

  214. That one brother that reached out to me yesterday afternoon,

  215. he said, a bad spirit came in that place with

  216. that serpent hander. But again the exhort of sorts is

  217. how I put it. When he began the exort of

  218. sorts on serpent hendn, he send me and my wife.

  219. Immediately we covered, We backed up, we repelled from what

  220. was being said.

  221. And he said, a bad spirit come in to that building.

  222. He said, I was no longer in freedom or remembered

  223. to worship. But jes see, I could hear it in

  224. his voice. It won't be very long and he will

  225. be gone.

  226. They must had it right. We never you're in agreement

  227. with somebody, and see he's in the walk, shoulder the shoulder.

  228. And side by side, because.

  229. The conversation is compatible on both sides. I compare controversy.

  230. That's already be God. They come on now, I'm telling

  231. somebody in this building. When it comes to the things

  232. of God, when it.

  233. Comes to sound doctrine, when it comes.

  234. To the Word of God, when it comes to the spirit,

  235. it better be the same mind. It better be the

  236. same spirit. It want to be the good, sweet Holy God.

  237. There's something else. You'll make your chill choice.

  238. Choose you this day, Joshua said to the children of Israel,

  239. professing believers, professing Christians. It wasn't that these people didn't

  240. believe in something. They did not believe in the things

  241. and Apostle Paul stood for the things that he was

  242. writing about and the things that he had preached.

  243. They were coming in with a different doctrine. They were

  244. coming in with a different standard, they were coming in

  245. with a different set of rules.

  246. Hey, I'm telling you, these people have been delivered from

  247. thinking in not eighteen years.

  248. Of Holy He is telling your money.

  249. If they don't believe in Jesus Christ his Lord, then

  250. you need to walk away. If they don't believe in

  251. Jesus Christ, as Jesus sent himself, is the.

  252. Way, the truth, and the life. Then you need to

  253. find out someone else to run.

  254. So in his will they come on.

  255. Whenever they started her playing with the scriptures. About two

  256. decades ago, twenty years.

  257. Ago, in the independent Holiness movement, I started hearing the

  258. methology mythology change. I started witnessing the preaching change. I

  259. started witnessing a different spirit news. I'm not critical to

  260. the Holiness movement that I am willing to do what

  261. the Bible saying.

  262. They're trying to.

  263. Sleep to see if they be a god. Because if

  264. it's not a god, I don't want a boy with it.

  265. Do I not want a fool with it?

  266. I do not want to pool with it?

  267. Amen? Should I keep preaching?

  268. A ship?

  269. We go to the house for a man who was

  270. accused by the Lord for.

  271. Being an unruly oxen, man who wilfully chose to kick

  272. against the ox gold. This man certainly became a new

  273. creature in Christ Jesus.

  274. Hey, come on, Jesus was now his lord. Christianity's greatest persecutor.

  275. Is now on the scene as Christianity's greatest promoter. Our

  276. Lord Jesus had no performed behavioral modification on this individual

  277. named the apostle Paul, you will pile it. After Jesus

  278. crossed a certain sea an or a seafar and vestle.

  279. When he landed on the shore, there was a wild

  280. man who needed his spirit tame. The Bible says that

  281. the old man was not running away from Jesus.

  282. The Bible gives us this explanation that this man was founder.

  283. Even beginning, not to eaven. Mainly in the beginning. He

  284. was founder at the feed of Jesus. He was not

  285. in a church looking for deliverys. He was in the

  286. God of Heaven present. So I said people could get

  287. help anyway they walked.

  288. It.

  289. Never could lesson to you your tapa with God in

  290. a cattle pasture if he really.

  291. Wants it, the Bible said, concerning this.

  292. Man's behavior, he needed a behavioral modification.

  293. No one could do that, but Jesus and Jesus performed it.

  294. Hold a man called Legion of Cadera, a man that

  295. most people didn't want to have around. Unman has become

  296. a local evangelist, one whose ministry is sold, a factor

  297. that the next time the Lord presents himself.

  298. The entire town is wanting to meet the man that

  299. this man that was yoked up with. I mean, if

  300. you remember one time Jesus looked at a couple of

  301. brothers that he said, you don't know the matter of spirit,

  302. you're off. Those were good.

  303. People that meant well, but Jesus was letting them know your.

  304. Spirit right now, it's not in.

  305. Agreement and alignment with mine. Oh, come on, it should

  306. be said, it's a perfect match. It was a perfect

  307. match that day. Jesus Walter and Ray from Canera that

  308. day put his leg over the side of the ship

  309. and said, I'm.

  310. Sending Michael across the sea, and.

  311. The man that was delivered the battle center, I want

  312. to go with you. This man was an alignment and

  313. agreement with Jesus.

  314. I'm telling you, if they don't un a walk with you,

  315. it's because they were not up your Your apostle.

  316. Said, they went out from usself because they were not up.

  317. So you know why the pedia pedia periarity leaves the

  318. Holiness Church.

  319. You know why the murderer leaves the Holiness Church.

  320. You know why the homosexual rarn's away from classical preaching.

  321. And holy against the other preacher right, he calls us

  322. light to holy water.

  323. He will never get say how Santah, they know he

  324. simply will not dead.

  325. Apostle Paul also kicked against the bricks.

  326. Apostle Paul refuse to take his light yoke upon him

  327. and find rest for his soul.

  328. You know why so many.

  329. People are unsettled and uneasy in the houses of worship

  330. today that call themselves Christian houses of worship.

  331. It is because they are unequally yoked people.

  332. They are supposed to be pooling with or pulling in

  333. an opposite direction.

  334. I remember watching this division develop in that.

  335. Little church that I was raised in, in the mainwhere

  336. Church of God. The other night I took God spoke

  337. this into my heart. I started reliving my expiritcess there

  338. as a young man, and I thank God for the

  339. somewhat photographic memory that I have. But Sister House of

  340. God was in it, and he was revealing to begin

  341. where the people said, and Brother.

  342. Jessey was just like him. There was a line draw

  343. in the congregation. You can see dear Sister Teens, dear.

  344. Sister Barley, this Sister Left, dear Sister Daisy.

  345. All of them Saints of God.

  346. Brother chesse In.

  347. It was still living it. They still had it in

  348. their heart. They were congregating together. But those of a

  349. new way, those of a different way, those of a

  350. different persuasion. Even in the House of God, in the

  351. sitting position, they weren't divided.

  352. I want you to know, the Bible said a house divided.

  353. It sound I stand, I said, the Bible said the

  354. house divided. Mother's a family, the spiritual family were lost here.

  355. Brother Jesse. They started saying, they are on the old way,

  356. and we are of the new way.

  357. And you know what, they kept on until those are

  358. the old way who didn't leave and pulled out became

  359. those of the new way as well.

  360. I remember when I saw that eighty year old.

  361. Grandmother him that you old John Silvers on a Sunday afternoon.

  362. She said, I've always been Church of God, Jeremian. I'll

  363. be just fine right there. Why it was one of

  364. the instrumental people didn't helping.

  365. Establish this church under the Great Franklin.

  366. And Brother Nathaniel. She was sure she was an acre

  367. in the house of God. She was sure she was

  368. a pure in the ask of God. But when the

  369. spirit of righteousness and holiness began to divide the sheep

  370. from the goats. When prominent people in our church started leaving,

  371. and they said, I'm looking for the ancient landmarks, I'm

  372. looking for the whole past. Somehow we've got off course.

  373. So there was something that pointed their arms. They said,

  374. there's no sense in us going were going on in

  375. the ship and loaned Josh Hilber So, I couldn't believe

  376. my eyes.

  377. What was that on her fingers? What was that around

  378. her neck? She said, never be made? It had never

  379. happened today.

  380. They come on now, who were around her?

  381. For Salona?

  382. He's start asking custics. Has that calling out was the

  383. Holy gust? They not a lot, none of I'm trying

  384. to tell you it's don't compromising that.

  385. No, it was not God.

  386. Yes, they never told a sister it's okay to wear

  387. a knee link shirt. What happened in modesty? Give them

  388. the benefit of the doubt all you want to.

  389. But I learned from history, and I learned from the

  390. word of God, as you hopefully could tell. And I

  391. learned from past mistakes and from present experiences.

  392. Brother, They tried to convince us it was the same

  393. holy ghost moving on them.

  394. They were taking it from the knee on up, and

  395. them boys said, what, the girls can take their riches

  396. on up, we might as well take our riches on up.

  397. And they went from.

  398. Sweatpants to shorts. And when somebody told them to stop it.

  399. You know what they said, when you're a hypocrite because

  400. the girls, Oh, I heard it was what's good for

  401. the goose, it's good for the gamdir. Then I heard

  402. charismatic Church of God boys say, if them girls are

  403. gonna walk around in knee link tresses, then.

  404. The boss ought to be able to walk around then

  405. knee lynch pants. It what's a lot of sense, doesn't it?

  406. Come?

  407. I said, it makes a whole lot of sense if

  408. you're going to be a hypocrite, hypocrite, I don't care

  409. if they're.

  410. Family or not.

  411. The question is are you a part of the family

  412. of God?

  413. In the Bible, there will be no special attention or

  414. special affection for immediate family or distant family.

  415. Says to how and I have a hard time getting

  416. over that. We've got a beautiful family. We just booked

  417. our summer vacation destination. We spent a lot of money

  418. to get this tribe of twenty five or twenty six

  419. together somewhere in these United States of America, Brother Jesse,

  420. it hurts us to think that we will not favor

  421. your sons with a daughter or brother Philipophra anyone else there.

  422. But you know that's the will of God, Sister Wootin,

  423. that there be no divisions, excuse thems in the house

  424. of God. Isn't it amazing how they can start letting up?

  425. Isn't it amazing how they can start turning looser? Isn't

  426. it amazing how they can start changing? But somehow you

  427. find yourself being defined and describer. That's the black seaper understanding.

  428. There and saying, what what did I do? I'm still

  429. living it to way we lived for the last fifty years?

  430. What what did I do to Paul's here?

  431. Mama said, you can rebuke a wise man and he'll

  432. love you. Rebuke a fool and they'll the spies and

  433. hate you.

  434. I don't know.

  435. I just don't feel it.

  436. I just don't feel it. Are you listening with the

  437. right ears? Are you looking through the right lens? Are

  438. you at Eliza? The loss apostle? Paul too considered what

  439. was in it for him, and at the end of

  440. the day he said, I can at all. But you know,

  441. what do you en g that I might win him

  442. count at all? But laws that I might win him

  443. when I look at them grand here in the mine.

  444. I can't help but come against the counterfeit and the

  445. faulty laughs.

  446. I can't help but come against those evil spirits of

  447. the seducers.

  448. And it's growing worse, and it's growing worse, and it's

  449. worse thing by the day, by the service.

  450. And somebody asked a question one time, how did we

  451. get here from there?

  452. That's a good question. How did we get from the

  453. bottom of the kaffa to above the knee?

  454. How did we get from men wearing pants to their

  455. ankle bones to now walking around in shorts and playing

  456. on the drums?

  457. Or come on, in a hole in his church?

  458. How do we get from preaching against homosexuality?

  459. Now?

  460. Come on preaching against homosexuality and knowing.

  461. Very well that one of our own has went down

  462. the road to an evil city. Who went to Knoxville, Tennessee,

  463. Who went to Richmond, Kentucky, over.

  464. To Tampa, Florida, her fort nis On and hung out

  465. in the game part of town. What's wrong? I'm telling

  466. you somebody got roped up to the wrong paring partner.

  467. I said, somebody got hitched up to the wrong match.

  468. There you see.

  469. The apostle Paul had a spirit that was twisted. He

  470. had a mind that was not thinking correctly.

  471. But when the spirit of.

  472. God got a hold of him, his mind had been

  473. altered by.

  474. He who is able to tame the wild men and

  475. the long women, that.

  476. Is, if they so desire such things to happen to them.

  477. Sister Howard was willing to find her way out of

  478. a charismatic spirit environment.

  479. Sister Howard was willing to come out from among them

  480. that she might be separated. Oh come on, I'm glad

  481. that I'm domesticated among the whole runners.

  482. I have not said that I'm perfect. I'm not said

  483. that I'm arriving.

  484. I'm trying my best to try to enter in that

  485. strade gata. I'm trying my best to be holy as

  486. He is holy. I'm trying my best to be perfect.

  487. But I do know that God domesticated me. When we

  488. think old domestication, we think of the process of adapting

  489. animals or human beings for higher purpose and higher use.

  490. Look at your neighbor, and say, hey, neighbor, have you

  491. been domesticated?

  492. I sure, hope so.

  493. I don't know why so many freakish and wild spirits

  494. are running through our churches. I don't understand that, sister Howell.

  495. But we saw it thirty two years ago and we.

  496. Ran from it, and if it ever comes to Betha,

  497. I will.

  498. Run from it again. I don't want to say it again.

  499. A pedio periodra and a homosexual will not be comfortable.

  500. Sitting her her sister trying hill.

  501. It is not all another.

  502. We're not me, I.

  503. Say it is not here.

  504. The water rot mex They can offer whatever exte so

  505. they won't too. But he will never met I.

  506. Said that they've never met the Apostle Paul Up. We

  507. will not.

  508. Preach with TV Jake. So the Apostle peenus, you will

  509. not preach. You turn't rot. Steve up to this water.

  510. Not perfect man, a ma'am.

  511. When we think on domestication, we think of a process

  512. of adapting animals or human beings for a higher purpose.

  513. God domesticated the wild man, the wild ox, the Apostle Paul.

  514. Amen, I hope you've been domesticated. I'm not gonna hang

  515. out with all these wild people in these crazy cities.

  516. I'm not gonna hang.

  517. Out with all these wild pre love and pre spirits

  518. in these so called churches.

  519. Some of you, sisters, when I ask have you been

  520. to you say yes, I have. But through the side

  521. of the corner of.

  522. Your eye, you look at your husband and you wonder

  523. has he been domesticated? And sometimes you charge your children

  524. of being raised in a barn.

  525. I wonder about some of the people.

  526. In church, the way their ears were so irretic, and

  527. the way they disrespect the House of God.

  528. Don't come on there.

  529. You can tell by the way the saints come dragging

  530. in that they are not at all excited about being there.

  531. That's why the bridegroom doesn't mean America. I said, when

  532. a bride it's not excited about being there. That's they're pulling.

  533. That's not a pooling partner.

  534. Why why would the bridegroom come, I said, God, the

  535. lie when the bridegroom.

  536. Say, well, he's a great preacher and a really like

  537. a spirit. I've said that many times, and I agree

  538. with his spirit. Hey, I'm glad that I can say

  539. that about certain men. And I'm also glad that I

  540. can say I am not in alignment or agreement with.

  541. That particular culture, that particular congregation, that particular division.

  542. That sect of Christians.

  543. They come on.

  544. God must have sawt something desirable in the Great Apostle Paul.

  545. Do y'all believe that God saw something desirable in the

  546. Great Apostle Paul?

  547. And that's what I believe is happening right here tonight.

  548. Just as God saw something wonderful and leads to them Ger,

  549. God is seeing something wonderful in.

  550. People that are in this field and people that are listening.

  551. That's why these birds.

  552. Of a spiritual feather have flocked together. Within the animal kingdom,

  553. the apex predator of the pou chain mankind. He looks

  554. upon the lesser creatures and sometimes he sees desirable raids

  555. on certain species of animals that have desirable traits. I

  556. am very fond of labs. I've had laughs for years.

  557. They are so intelligent, they are so smart. Somewhere along

  558. the line in their history, somebody recognized desirable traits and

  559. they brought them in and they domesticated them.

  560. And this breeder put this one with this breeder.

  561. Until perfection came. That's what I'm killing you in the church.

  562. We should be going under grace to propection. We should

  563. be going to the vehictor.

  564. A grace onto propection.

  565. We should not be descending. We should be ascending on

  566. the highway of holiness. We should be uncovering the ancient landmarks.

  567. We should not be carrying them away. Should I keep preaching?

  568. You see, the lesser creature sometimes.

  569. Has desirable traits, Brother Nathaniel, and the apex creature, which

  570. is us human beings.

  571. We think that they are worth taming and they are

  572. worth training.

  573. How many of they have ever been to sea world? Hey,

  574. I'm telling you.

  575. When you see what they've done with the killer well

  576. and the orca, they tell me there's different species of

  577. those type of wells, and also the blue bottle nosed

  578. dolphin and some of the porpoises.

  579. But brother Tyler, when.

  580. You realize the apex predator, a guy like Tyler Wooton

  581. can decide it.

  582. I'm going to.

  583. Train the little lesser creature to be better.

  584. I believe that Apostle Paul and the Legion of Genera

  585. could tell all these so called Christians that the higher creature,

  586. the Creator himself, is able to do it, seeding them

  587. learning all that we.

  588. Asked to or thank you. In one of his epistles

  589. to the chunch.

  590. Of Corinthians, Apostle Paul said, they're potgining man. This lets

  591. me know every person is an eligible candidat to domestication.

  592. If any man be.

  593. In Christ, he is a new creature. Whole thing's apostle

  594. name and whole all things Carnu. This is hav an aunts,

  595. the stubborn, unruling answer to the Apostle Paul that's kicking

  596. against the.

  597. Prince to turn one hundred and eighty degrees and say

  598. with a news on the stepfather.

  599. They tell him to Jesus, which where how are you going?

  600. Where are you going?

  601. I real, amen, Temmy fath Baker wouldn't sit on the pupils,

  602. sister ours live withoot very long at all? You should

  603. be calling names what cemetery seminaries you learned that at.

  604. The Bible's full of the Apostle Paul calling names Alexander

  605. the copper Smith didn't mean much evil you and Darson

  606. sending to you, you two string up to the of

  607. the same mind in Christ. Jesus, Hey, who's that coming

  608. through the door in the courtyard There that's Nathan the prophet,

  609. and the carrier delivers the message today that it's Nathan

  610. and Nathan.

  611. David sitting there as Nathan.

  612. Comes in, and David thinks, us another wonderful message from

  613. another wonderful prophet, like saying you had bought to him

  614. so many times, But this time Nathan ain't got a

  615. bottle of warl in his hand.

  616. He's not ony finger, and he's a pulling an out

  617. from behind that mantel. And after David's seraine and after

  618. David's games, Nathan puts some money finger in his face

  619. and says, king thou art to me, Oh, don't tell

  620. me that that's a sin to call it out.

  621. Preacher, say, look, tell.

  622. Me it's a sin to name sEH. Can't you been

  623. sleeping again? Let's go then as take bad because it

  624. ain't get us dog my pries.

  625. I remember when dear brother Curtis Teague showed up imploring

  626. a probably thirty five years ago, he preached the messes

  627. title what's behind that mask?

  628. I will never forget it for as long as I lived.

  629. We were coming out of the Church.

  630. Of God and he got anointed.

  631. And he said, oh, come on, you told me you

  632. want to holiness church around here.

  633. I hold a church.

  634. I got there thurty something years ago, telling me independent

  635. holiness people.

  636. I taught you wonted holdness.

  637. Charge in here.

  638. With a message, dearness the same today. Come out from

  639. among them and be separate. Whether you believe him in

  640. times sactiplication has the second departy work of grace or progressive.

  641. You'd better be progressive.

  642. And growing in grace, hanging your knowledge of the Lord,

  643. saying to Jesus Christ, hey, young woman skirting up around

  644. with these, oh, come on in somebody progressive impolicy. When

  645. I left my life, she wore short skirts all the

  646. time I was raised among it. I can't tell you

  647. I've ever lusted after the lives of a woman. I

  648. never even lusted after hers we were dating. But I'll

  649. tell you this, sister.

  650. Wooton, from what I heard in them locker rooms, about

  651. seventy five percent of them boys did. John Wesley put

  652. it best. He said people trip up, and they stumble,

  653. and they sin. But he said devils tip de sin,

  654. and God knows why some things are going down and

  655. some things are coming up. I'm not talking about on

  656. our girls, Holy I'm talking about on our voice too.

  657. These things are not to be And no, ma'am, no,

  658. serving life itself is hard enough.

  659. I am not gonna have a beam.

  660. On my soulda and be yoked up with somebody that

  661. we are not pulling the same, notrection the come on,

  662. going to work every day, the raising a family, having

  663. twenty five members of the house, have a household, having

  664. two babies out, don't getting critical care in the hospital

  665. at the same time.

  666. Now that's heavy enough.

  667. I ain't gonna go.

  668. To church up they being somebody.

  669. Calling against me, being knock hardy.

  670. Call me up together. When I come to church, I

  671. need to know they're pulling with me.

  672. They're gonna have my baby making. They're gonna promote party, They're.

  673. Gonna promote modesty, not making an excuse for the light

  674. the h I got so much I want to preach.

  675. I'm telling you God poured into me that I just

  676. decisions are easy to make. I was talking to a

  677. wonderful young man.

  678. And young woman. I feel oppressed to the Lord to

  679. share this.

  680. Probably about twenty five years ago, sister how and I

  681. were walking in the Bells Outlet in Bartow, Florida, for

  682. we're from that area. And I had these six kids

  683. and two shopping carts, and I had sister.

  684. How holding one, and I was whold other, and we

  685. were pulling.

  686. Partners and we were raising the family. We were going

  687. together thro there, and I heard this young man. Hey,

  688. he didn't look like us exactly, but he was hollering

  689. at the top of his lungs.

  690. You know everybody, you know everybody. These people be the

  691. great great people of God. These people the people I've.

  692. Been looking for.

  693. These people the people I'm.

  694. A spirit that I've been searching for, and I'm going

  695. to talk to them. And he came up after that

  696. great adew and he said, where do you go to church?

  697. I appreciate the outward standard, but more than that, I

  698. can tell that there's an inward standard. They're ready to

  699. have wood standard.

  700. That sounds about right.

  701. Those are when it's not sewing up on the outside.

  702. That's been a problem on the inside for a long time.

  703. Somebody's been pulling up in the roll in the opposite

  704. watch them for a long time.

  705. This boy offered me information I did not ask for.

  706. He said, I'm of a certain nominal church. And nowadays

  707. all these Church of God people are so busy justifying.

  708. While they're in the Church of God, they get easily offended.

  709. They still text me though, they still keep in touch,

  710. and I know there's good holding his people in the

  711. Church of God.

  712. They're few and far between. Let me say it again,

  713. for my friends that are listening, they're good because some

  714. of you are already out of church. That's what you've

  715. been telling me. You're already out of church. Pastor great,

  716. And I'm not pulling against your pastor.

  717. I'm for you. Just make sure you're not pulling against

  718. us independence either.

  719. Oh, come on, I'm for him. But I'm not picking

  720. on the Church of God. I used to be. When

  721. the Howell family build a beautiful church or too with

  722. howl money tithe money. We didn't try to recollect it.

  723. We didn't try to pull it back. My granddaddy was

  724. one of the main money men. We didn't try to

  725. rebuild it.

  726. We ain't tried to confiscate it, we ain't tried to

  727. pull the tiles off the floor.

  728. A man, it's still there.

  729. I still drive by and see the handrail that the

  730. hound was folded.

  731. Amen, it was done for God. It's God's Let God

  732. have it.

  733. And I'm not picking on Church of God. But he said,

  734. I go to a church of God. And here's what

  735. he said, says to heal. And I have no idea

  736. really why this is coming to mine. I haven't told

  737. this story a long time.

  738. He said.

  739. My wife is about to go crazy. He said, my

  740. wife is losing her mind. He said, this is her.

  741. And I looked at one of the most precious people

  742. you ever meet in your life. And Sister Howell, you

  743. will remember she had a hole in his standard and

  744. she said, I'm so glad.

  745. To see y'all.

  746. Just seeing y'all brings me some relief. And they had

  747. a conversation with us. We didn't ask for, we didn't

  748. go looking for, but they needed to pour it out.

  749. And unfortunately we were the ones that God asked to

  750. listen to them. And Brother Jesse, he said, when I

  751. take her to church, she looks over to her right,

  752. and there's a sister speaking in tongues and giving out

  753. messages that it don't even look like our main Mother

  754. of Israel and our elder, he said.

  755. And she looks over there and there's another one doing

  756. some kind of unholy jibber.

  757. Jabber, and there's another one over there with just a

  758. little bit of things that we didn't used to approve of.

  759. Over there just slain in some kind of spirit. And

  760. he said, she's going crazy, she's losing her mind. She said,

  761. I don't feel that. I don't believe that's right.

  762. I mean, we're forefathers right? Or are they wrong? Were

  763. we deceived then? Or we deceive now? What's going on?

  764. Are they right or we wrong? And he said, this

  765. is pulling my family apart, this is pulling me in

  766. her apart.

  767. And so he chewed up at my office about three

  768. days later and he said, listen, I've got to make

  769. a decision. He said, my wife has went to your house.

  770. I said, oh really, and he said yes, she had

  771. to go talk to Sister Howard.

  772. I said, well, you're not gonna get a whole lot

  773. out of sister house.

  774. He's pretty wise and she's not going to try to

  775. talk you out of anything, and she'll hear you.

  776. But and he said, well, I need to arrive with.

  777. You, Goles.

  778. I had my wife drop me off and we need

  779. to ride to your house and we can have a

  780. meeting in your living room.

  781. We didn't know anything about these kind of thing. These

  782. people were.

  783. Out there with in and on the way there, I

  784. got to a little area called Brewster.

  785. It's between bradmc junction and the little town Coach of

  786. Koram and the power of God to say one I

  787. spoke to me last night. He's spoken into my heart

  788. and I said, is this God kept saying, I gotta.

  789. Make a decision. I know, I gotta make it acision. Now,

  790. Holy gonna shoot me.

  791. I got wild out.

  792. If you want it?

  793. Then, I said, God just send decisions or he's in

  794. the make up, make forrn, but make sure you make

  795. the right one.

  796. He said, enough said.

  797. We walked in her inner room and he said so

  798. and so God just spoke. He said, your confusion will

  799. not last any longer.

  800. From what I've heard her. The given this wiper in

  801. another state. Time did a costa who in this church?

  802. I want you to know it.

  803. They found the perfect match. They found their cooling cordiers.

  804. If any man being Christ, any man brother Nathaniel, is

  805. eligible to go where the truth is promoted in preached.

  806. I remember watching my children pray earnestly concerning their future

  807. and their special someone. I remember watching my daughter Hannah,

  808. who is twenty five years old, expecting her first child.

  809. And she's only been married about nine months.

  810. I'm telling you she's only about one or two months along.

  811. Yes, she had been married. There was no shotgun with me.

  812. She was married when she conceived. I don't know why

  813. I'm saying that.

  814. And I didn't have to cover up anything.

  815. In the church that ain't man.

  816. Praise God.

  817. The stump.

  818. Somebody get the rotor till her out and get the acts.

  819. Won't dig this out, y'all. Remember them old phones, whenever

  820. somebody hung up on you. I just felt them hang

  821. up on me right there. That's all right up till

  822. they slip down their milkshake. They'll tune in again. They

  823. don't like this right here. I saw my daughter get

  824. that look in her eye, and she's wondering, where's my

  825. special somebody? Where are they at? And she gets older,

  826. and she gets older, she gets older. She wasn't even

  827. thirty years old. For crying out loud. I told her

  828. to wait till she was thirty. When she was that

  829. little girl on my knee at Figgers of Age, I said,

  830. make a deal, make a deal. You wait till you're

  831. twenty five, and I'll buy you the prettiest pink jimp

  832. the prettiest pink jeep you've ever seen. Then came toscllywacks

  833. cansl Jonathan, So I say, that's my hero. She didn't

  834. wait till she was twenty five. So when she started

  835. talking to him, I said, sweet, it's the song I'm

  836. sweeping today. She got married just before she turned twenty five.

  837. She said, I still won't work, pretty pink geep. I said, Hannah,

  838. meet your pretty pink jeep right cheep on that forehead

  839. and poundy pink.

  840. But I saw her get a look in her eye.

  841. Where's he at? We'd go to camp meeting sister. How

  842. you know, she'd look over there at Tapman. She'd look

  843. over there Tap, She'd look it up over there at

  844. tap Jason crab kind of guy, and she look over

  845. there at Barney five. I'd be over saying sweet one, guys,

  846. and helped this girl. And then the boys had come

  847. around her, circling like vultures, cause that's all this star

  848. is a piece of meat anyway. And the fellaship Paul,

  849. and that's why I got the silver wings going on

  850. right here. God keep my girl. And she was wondering,

  851. does the chosen one exist? Does the Chosen One exist,

  852. that I could hear the distraught sound and told of

  853. that man's voice, Brother EJ yesterday when he said God's

  854. leading me out. Of course he's leading me out. But

  855. now I'm bumping into this where I didn't expect it.

  856. Now I'm having to handle this situation while they handle serpents.

  857. Now I'm trying to handle the serpent handler from what

  858. I do. Does the Chosen One exist? She wondered that

  859. there he is. It took a quarter of a century

  860. handed for him to show up.

  861. There he is?

  862. Does the Chosen Church exist? I want you all to

  863. know God said it's a perfect match, Brother Jesse. I

  864. tried to water it down and said it's a match,

  865. and then in my notebook, I can show you it's

  866. a good match. And I kept coming back to what

  867. does say of God it's a perfect match, because whenever

  868. he gave it to me, I thought, ain't no way

  869. anybody who has been matched up perfectly. We love it

  870. in our relationships when it's a close match, when it's

  871. a good match, Brother Nathaniel, I feel like you and

  872. sister Rachel are almost a perfect match. I feel like

  873. sister Helen are almost a perfect match, But it must

  874. be a perfect match because it's part of God's plan.

  875. God put us together. There really are marriages made in heaven,

  876. and there are spiritual and church and family relationships put

  877. together by Heaven. We not unequally yoke together. We can

  878. have pulling partners that will slide in the altar. People

  879. of a common purpose, people of common ground, people of

  880. common denominators.

  881. Does the chosen one exist? Does the perfect one exist?

  882. And so, sister how I had to say and right

  883. down the title of exactly what the Holy Goest title does,

  884. Brother Beefford, it's a perfect match, Brother Beefford, You coming

  885. into my son's life. You're different, your last name snatch,

  886. your last name was Stagh brother, But somehow it's a

  887. perfect match. When I see you with my sons, your daddy.

  888. And I both agree, it's like that friendship was forged

  889. in heaven.

  890. When I met Justin road Cap, I realized my spirit

  891. shook hands with Justin Road Caap. When I met Richard Jacob,

  892. I realized my spirit shook hands with Richard Jacob. When

  893. I met Danny Edwards at Kodak Tennessee, I realized my

  894. spirit shook hands.

  895. With Danny edwards, and it just goes on and on

  896. and on and on and on and on and on.

  897. I want to preach this out.

  898. I want to preach this because I owe it to you,

  899. because God loves you enough to just turn my rest

  900. again and to pour into me. And I had to

  901. preach what God said to me. It would be a match,

  902. it would be a good match. But to God, he said,

  903. would be a perfect match. It's perfect match. And so,

  904. Sister Hammond, I watched my daughter Hannah wonder.

  905. If the chosen one existed?

  906. Is the right kind for me out there in this

  907. ocean of humanity amongst seven billion people? Is the right

  908. one out there? Is the right church out there for me?

  909. Is the right people out there for me? Is the

  910. right service out there for me? The right God out

  911. there for me?

  912. The right kind? You see, Sister Hannah was looking for

  913. the right.

  914. Person, certain characteristics, a correct spirit, the right behaviors, the

  915. right attitudes, the right kind. My children needed someone like

  916. Paul needed someone to be of the same mind. Brother Nathaniel,

  917. there is no doubt you and Sister Rachel are involved

  918. in a constant process of making that relationship stronger. Sister

  919. how and I've been married now thirty two years, and

  920. our relationship is stronger now than it's ever been. But

  921. there's a constant process of sanctification. You do know the

  922. doctrine of sanctification began right there in the book of

  923. Deuteronomy when the Lord was telling them why you don't

  924. put a donkey with an ox because they're different characteristics,

  925. different behaviors, different temperaments. You're not gonna get much accomplished

  926. because the donkey's not gonna see it. The ox is way. Listen,

  927. I go to church where the ox of the Lord,

  928. the Holy Brethren, the Holy sisters, Jesus said, the white

  929. harvest is ready out, and get it. It's right, brother, Na.

  930. Thing on my mind's out of there.

  931. I could just see these beautiful oxen, a yoke of oxen,

  932. connected by a powerful, strong being, bound together by two

  933. leather harnesses. And behind those two strong beasts of burden,

  934. Brother Samuel was a plow, and that plow was digging in,

  935. Sister Howell, and that plow was turning that earth.

  936. And then auxen in sync and in harmony. That's what

  937. you said, Sister VICKI aated when you came to Bethel.

  938. You said, I found my place where I've been sink.

  939. I heard a holdiness pastor's wife say at a wedding

  940. it seemed like she destined it for doom when she

  941. actually wrote and said at the wedding, there's no such

  942. things as marriage is made of heaven.

  943. I disagree. I disagree. God's in the match making business.

  944. It's a perfect match. And that now I saw that vision.

  945. Are you praying for me?

  946. And then two yolk and walks and are pulling, Brother Jesse,

  947. They're plowing, and the longer they pull, the harder it is.

  948. And I want yall to know the end of this

  949. world is approaching. The spirit of Antichrist is about to

  950. get stronger. And if I've ever need good sanctified pooling partners,

  951. I need them now, Brother Jesse. If I've ever needed

  952. my son's being of the same mind to my preacher,

  953. brethren being locked minded, no schisms and divisions among us.

  954. As to healf we've ever needed sanctification implemented, It's now

  955. in the end time. Church. The bridegroom and the bride

  956. must come together and be of the same mind and

  957. them churches must be constantly improving. How many people in

  958. this building have people in mind right now that you

  959. just know you can't work with. I know there's some

  960. that are lazy, and some that are careless, and some

  961. that are slowful that I hope to never be on

  962. my work roster, And how many of you know, quite

  963. simply put plainly spoken, there's some people I'm not hesitant

  964. to say I can never come to the church with.

  965. And I've never said because that guy exordered or admonister

  966. cared for me and loved me and had gone instruction

  967. and directives and concerned that I wasn't comfortable, but that

  968. I've always appreciated that. But there's been people that have

  969. shook my hand.

  970. When I put it to my nose, I could tell.

  971. They have been smoking cigarettes. I went to church for

  972. stuff like that for years, Brother Jesse that they say, well,

  973. you'll never find the perfect church, cause when you get there,

  974. it will no longer be perfect. That might be correct

  975. if you have any perfect spirit and an imperfect attitude.

  976. And I've already said it in my preaching. I've never

  977. claimed to be perfect. I've never claimed to have you

  978. figured out. But I do know this. We better be progressive,

  979. and the only way we're going to progress is if

  980. we have a pastor that's pulling with us. How many

  981. of y'all heard people misquote the scripture and God gave

  982. you pastors after your own heart.

  983. It does not say that.

  984. He says God gave them pastors after his own heart.

  985. And I have heard for about thirty years often on

  986. people quote a wrong and I've even heard exhortations and

  987. admonishment saying otherwise. So if I'm somewhere where the pastor

  988. and I do not agree, there's a problem. If I'm

  989. somewhere where I'm having to sit there and me and

  990. my wife are having to squeeze hands and say, I

  991. don't know what's going on right now, but it's a

  992. bad spirit. I won't be tarrying that. I know that

  993. dear brother's listening right now, but he can't get away

  994. fast enough, dude. Rodomy twenty two and ten, again it said,

  995. thou shalt not plowed with an ox and an ass together.

  996. Sister Wooden, When I think about everything you've been through

  997. this week already, why why would I expect you to

  998. carry the burden of this life and the way of

  999. this world and then had to come to church and

  1000. have your spirit fixed? My uncle that I spoke of

  1001. a little while ago, the non nonsensical man that he is,

  1002. when he came out of the Church of God after

  1003. we did. One night there was tones an interpretation in

  1004. a church where there was an element of righteous people,

  1005. people that were trying to live holy so they felt

  1006. and said, and that's great.

  1007. But then there was a strong element that was taken

  1008. over the church.

  1009. It was of a different spirit, and brother would one

  1010. night they had tones of interpretation, and this woman of

  1011. a very worldly what the old timers would call Jeespbel's spirit,

  1012. gave out a message. She was in an indecent blouse,

  1013. had big golden chains on her neck, and she gave

  1014. out a message. And a man that appeared to be

  1015. an elder sister Howell and who had so called had

  1016. to ripe spirit all them years, he interpreted the message.

  1017. And so my uncle went to his house. And my

  1018. uncle was not a confrontational kind of person, neither of I.

  1019. But my uncle got troubled and he said, you know what,

  1020. this is the true the straw that brought the camel's back.

  1021. So he went to that place where that killer in

  1022. the church was.

  1023. He spoke to him.

  1024. He said, I'll come ask you a question. After being

  1025. in church with you for thirty five forty years, however

  1026. long it was. He said, yes, sir, ask me brother,

  1027. he said, why did you do it? Immediately that man

  1028. knew what he was speaking of. He said, I didn't

  1029. have to take him back to that service. I didn't

  1030. have to describe the Jezebel spirit woman, he said. I

  1031. just looked at him two men eyebought an eyeball as

  1032. he walked out his front door.

  1033. And I asked him, why did you do it?

  1034. And he said, that old man with a trembling hand

  1035. that I used to stood for holdliness in truth. He said, son,

  1036. I did it to avoid confusion. When my uncle said,

  1037. that's an answer enough for me. I'll see you back.

  1038. A man that preached so great that in the seventies

  1039. people were pulling outward adornments off of their person and

  1040. praying through in the altar. One of them is a

  1041. dear relative of mine. Thirty something years later, he's standing

  1042. there saying I did it to avoid confusion. We're never

  1043. too tall to fall, And brother Jesse, the truth is.

  1044. When you get yoked up with.

  1045. The wrong kind, if it's spiritual, if you're the lesser spirit,

  1046. and if you're the minority, listen to this wisdom. This

  1047. is what people text me to email me about all

  1048. the time. This is what people likes. Right here, pastor,

  1049. how is you ready? If you're the lesser of the

  1050. two that's unequally yoked, there's no doubt if you're the

  1051. donkey near the ox, you're gonna get drug and your

  1052. cart of your babies, and your family and your kids,

  1053. and your church and your country and your state. You

  1054. gonna get drugged wherever the ox takes you. Yeah, because

  1055. that was why Moses said, God said, don't put the

  1056. donkey with a ox, cause they're geared differently. Oh, I

  1057. feel it in my soul. Listen, Let the donkeys pull

  1058. with the donkeys. Yeah, Let many hen and tallow White

  1059. pull with each other. But brother Jesse, let brother Jesse

  1060. and brother Nathan, you'll pull together.

  1061. Right?

  1062. Was it tongues and interpretation that went forth a while

  1063. back concerning brother Jesse and brother Nathaniel. Come here, brothers.

  1064. God spoke concerning these two young men and set us

  1065. singing in LEVI. I believe it was the brethren. They

  1066. will be brethren, and they will pull together take heed

  1067. that you always pulled together. And do you know I

  1068. didn't even think of that until right now after God

  1069. dealt with me. But what God was saying is this

  1070. can be a good match, a perfect match. Sister, howell

  1071. come here, darn't it. She was an assimbly of God. Girl,

  1072. Thank your brother to stay nearby as your match please.

  1073. She was an Assembly of God girl. I was the

  1074. Church of God.

  1075. Boy.

  1076. We realized we're gonna have to study the Bible. We

  1077. started having a Bible study. We set up there at

  1078. the public's parking lot in Lakeland, Florida. That not God

  1079. convicted you of your long earrings. Two young people on

  1080. a date. We weren't out behind the barn doing things

  1081. everyone else was doing. When we got married. We were

  1082. pure and we were respected for our virtue and purity.

  1083. But I'll tell you what we were doing. We were

  1084. having a Bible study, and we were looking at the

  1085. outer doorning and what the apostle said. And we said,

  1086. you know what, it's not gonna be Church of God

  1087. or semilely God. We're just gonna go with a scripture.

  1088. Her Assembly God sisters told her stay away from the

  1089. Church of God cause you're not equally yoked. I said

  1090. the same thing. My people were saying, she's Assembly of God.

  1091. We all believed different on sanctification. They said they the

  1092. Church of God believes that the women can cut their

  1093. hair below the shoulder blaze, cause that's long. The Assembly

  1094. God was saying, we can cut it as short as

  1095. a man's. And finally I just said, you know what,

  1096. this is nothing but chaos and confusion. We started digging

  1097. into scriptures. Sister House, stay right there in front of

  1098. your sons. Come her, sister, Irish, I'm gonna tell yall something.

  1099. As sure as I live. I'm not a great preacher,

  1100. but I know he is, and I know he poured

  1101. every bitiness in me for tonight.

  1102. It seemed to be a good match.

  1103. Hold it rector, don't you add to what God said,

  1104. young young people that's unmarried. I'm not prophesy concerned your

  1105. relationship exact.

  1106. Don't you take and say he.

  1107. Preach tonight, because if you're sneaking, ready and seeking, it's

  1108. already not a perfect match.

  1109. But God looked.

  1110. For a Georgia girl from Brunswick, Georgia named Crystal coming

  1111. Chrystal stand By sister who I was a preacher in Ortona.

  1112. Back then.

  1113. In walked one night.

  1114. A young woman that I could tell was looking for answers.

  1115. In my office.

  1116. Before that service started, God spoken to me to preach

  1117. on long to Jesus. One preacher called me, and I've

  1118. never done it, since I had never done it before,

  1119. asked me what I was preaching on? So he called

  1120. a bunch of other the preachers. They started calling me, saying,

  1121. tell me what you're preaching? How you doing that? That

  1122. sounds great? But I knew, just like I knew that

  1123. night gone and gave me a message for somebody. The

  1124. back doors flew open, Sister Hill, and by a divine appointment,

  1125. Sister Wooton's match walked in. Because God knew what'll be long,

  1126. He's gonna take Jeane home that night, Sister Crystal had

  1127. nothing but a Duffel bag. So it's be no home,

  1128. no house, no job, Just to Georgia. Girl on a

  1129. quick trip to Alva, Florida, and a dear woman named

  1130. Sister Jackie Walker said, you know, I think you had

  1131. to go to church with me. Just seems like, you know,

  1132. just an invitation to go to church. But it was

  1133. gonna be a perfect match. Up. I'm a feeling this.

  1134. I can be like all the other guys too. I'm

  1135. getting up early. Let's dismiss at nine and go to Culver's.

  1136. I can love you enough to tell you what God

  1137. said at that church for a while. It'd be easy

  1138. if you live with twenty thirty minute serving then, But

  1139. if I had to spend an extra thirty minutes to

  1140. help somebody, I will. One night, the spirit of God

  1141. moved into service, and God spoke through me again, I'm

  1142. a nobody. Send me emails and text and tell me

  1143. what a nobody I am. I'm okay with that, cause

  1144. I already know that. But I told Sister Crystal, I said,

  1145. and lesson how many days, Sister Crystal, less than four weeks?

  1146. Thus say with God, and less than four weeks. Nomadic girl,

  1147. a girl whose mother has died, a girl whose some

  1148. of your brothers are dead, a girl that has nothing,

  1149. basically homeless, unless than four weeks, Thus, saith God, you'll

  1150. have a home, you'll have a card, and you'll have

  1151. a job. God said, it's on this condition. Seek me,

  1152. put me first, and I'll add all of these.

  1153. Other things to you.

  1154. Do you know how now it was Sister Crystal less

  1155. than four weeks. In less than four weeks, the Glades

  1156. County property appraiser said, I need somebody to live in

  1157. my mother's house. Here's the keys to the Lincoln, here's

  1158. the keys to the house, and here's a hefty paycheck

  1159. each week. It's a perfect match, now, deren Fellowship, Paul gatherings,

  1160. Deuring camp meetings, conventions, esther conferences in there. Besides Sister

  1161. wooton Is the Bruns looked toward the girl. Brother Chip

  1162. Roy texted me last week. He said, Preacher, I sure do.

  1163. Thank y'all for everything y'all done. He said, I'm headed home.

  1164. He said, I'm passing through Bruns with He said, do

  1165. you know the Holiness Church there? I said no, But

  1166. I got one of their girls. I said, I'm I'm

  1167. just ignorant. I'm sorry. There probably is one, but I

  1168. don't know. I'm sorry, but I got one of the girls.

  1169. She wouldn't say, saying to find Holy ghost Field. But

  1170. today and I'm not saying this for her glory says

  1171. to how I came to church to finish preparing for tonight,

  1172. be and go my way says to how go hers

  1173. but still yoke tennis spirit. And when I turned on

  1174. Cornelia you drive, I saw runs with Georgia girl laid

  1175. out there in fire forest praying about this service on

  1176. her day off. Pick your poison, make your choice. I

  1177. ain't playing goat fish. I feel the Holy ghost in

  1178. this place. I know we may feel our no place

  1179. is the perfect place. But when God says it's a

  1180. perfect match, it's a perfect match. I want everybody that

  1181. willing to say well to stand right now. Sister Janet

  1182. Heal that morning you swung them doors op.

  1183. But I saw you walk in. I said, I've met

  1184. her before.

  1185. She's a wonderful lady. So we've never even had a

  1186. conversation across the food counter. We've said hi, how are you.

  1187. But she's been a perfect match. So has Sister Neelie.

  1188. So has Sister Vickie. So has brother Aaron Wood, Sir

  1189. has Sister Jackie Walker. Sister Jackie, I'll never forget as

  1190. long as I live. Come here, Sister Jackie. It was

  1191. a Sunday afternoon. I came to church Elder to prepare

  1192. for the evening service. There was a little lady standing

  1193. out their Sister Jackie, little petitue, not as much white

  1194. and silver standing there.

  1195. Leaned up against that call them.

  1196. What is it about that column out there? I walked

  1197. over there, Brother Jesse, I saw something resemble. The homeless

  1198. woman was only one of seventh grade, she said, Brother Ham.

  1199. I ran into Sister Gilham and close to Walmart, and

  1200. she said, I would probably be more comfortable with Bethel

  1201. than anywhere I've been in the last fifty years.

  1202. Down here.

  1203. I said, well, all I continue, Yes, sister, I'm about

  1204. to unlocked.

  1205. This door and I'm going to my office, but you

  1206. just come.

  1207. On in there, Brother Jesse. I ain't been able to

  1208. shake her off. Sirs, I don't you love it when

  1209. you feel like you belong? Don't you love it? Brother,

  1210. than the thing who have to pulling so hard at

  1211. work and in this world that you come to church

  1212. if you don't have to worry about going home and.

  1213. Telling Rebecca, I know you saw a sister so and

  1214. so do that it, don't you do that?

  1215. Rebecca? I wonder if there's groups of two tonight that

  1216. would come forward and say I want to be in

  1217. the will of God. Will my pulling partner. It might

  1218. be a dad, it might be a son, it might

  1219. be a husband and a wife. Just find somewhere to

  1220. stand that there's people in this place tonight.

  1221. You want to thank God for your pulling partner.

  1222. It's a perfect match. Sisters, If you don't have somebody

  1223. to pray with them, pray with my wife because right

  1224. now I can't get into my partner.

  1225. I'm preaching it's a perfect match.

  1226. Animals are the same type, were paired together as pulling partners.

  1227. Relationships tie people together. The actions of one affect the other.

  1228. Is that true or not?

  1229. The actions of one affect.

  1230. The other, Brother Jesse, I want you to look at

  1231. your beautiful holiness Weather. I'm so glad I got her

  1232. away from Rodnie Howard Brown that I did. The ultra

  1233. service has started. If you want to pray, just go ahead.

  1234. Abraham needed a wife for his son Isaac, and he

  1235. told his servant, he said, you go get the right

  1236. kind of girl for him. You get him a good

  1237. pulling partner, and he needs a perfect match.

  1238. Couples, if you need to deal down to pray, it's

  1239. gonna take both of you. Brother sister boat Captain Pastor,

  1240. and sister how Brother Nathanie or Sister Rachel. It's gonna

  1241. take you pulled in together. I see it, sister, how

  1242. us see it.

  1243. I see why we came together. I see why we're

  1244. like minded. I see it why it's important. And I

  1245. wanna tell somebody. If you're the lesser partner of the

  1246. weaker vessel, if you're not careful, your actions will affect

  1247. others in a negative way. Feel at liberty to deal

  1248. down and pray. In the time of my ministry, trying

  1249. to pastor down here and fire the devil day in

  1250. day out, everywhere I turned fighting and dimple fighting and divil.

  1251. One day I said, God, I need some help. It's

  1252. the first time I'd ever prayed in that manner God,

  1253. and needs some help. He said, I'll send you help tonight.

  1254. In the back door walked a guy named Michael LaRue,

  1255. And as I was praying, I said, God, you sent

  1256. me this man for such a time as this. He's

  1257. not a preacher, he's not a teacher, but he's of

  1258. the same spirit. When we have conversation, he's in enlightenment

  1259. and agreement with the Word. If you will obey the

  1260. Lord right now, God will give you answers.

  1261. Sneaker.

  1262. Yeah, that's it, that's it right, This is a beautiful service.
