Again.
-
Oh have we missed Brother Jesse tonight?
-
The absence of his presence can be felt tremendously over
-
here on my left. To praise the Lord. I appreciate
-
his brother Rode Gavid. He's over there sitting Brother Jesse's seat.
-
That way, maybe I'd feel like somebody's just sitting there.
-
It looks so vacant, like a vacuum, just Brother Jesse
-
and his little tribe being gone. If you have your
-
Bibles with you, I trust that you do. If you
-
happen to not have it, there should be one nearby.
-
Would you take it in your hands, in which you
-
put your fingers on those golden leaves and turned with
-
me to the Book of Amos. May I direct your
-
attention to the eighth chapter and the eleventh verse. Brother
-
Nathaniel Hebrews chapter.
-
Number four, verse number fourteen and fifteen, and Brother Jonathan
-
Soft Chapter number thirty four in verse number ten.
-
How many of you leave?
-
It's important how you live your life. Not only is
-
it important for you and your family, your spouse, your community,
-
your church, family corporately concerning the Kingdom the people.
-
Of God is important. How you live your life. It matters.
-
Brother Richard Jacob, I want to speak of you for
-
a minute. Brother Jesse is in Louisville, Kentucky, on business
-
last night.
-
After he went out to eat at the outback.
-
He said he was in his street clothes and he
-
said that he just took his family to a Holiness
-
church that was having service on Tuesday night, midweek service,
-
and he eased in there in church had just started,
-
and at the end of the service there was a
-
group of sixteen people that approached them and greeted them,
-
and they just loved meeting one another. And after the
-
introduction and after the conversation, after some spend of time,
-
one of the people said, who's your daddy now, And
-
he said Jeremy Howell And they said he's in South Florida.
-
And they said, yes, that's where our church is at.
-
And they said, you know, we're part of the Shady
-
Springs Fellowship. And said a.
-
Dear dear Saint of God.
-
A friend of ours years ago, told all of us
-
he heard from God and he was moving to South.
-
Florida to attend.
-
Hey, sister Vicki, I just saw you back there, so
-
they're good to see you. And other visitor good to
-
see y'all. But he said, they said, wow, Sister Vicky,
-
you know, threw me off here, and that's so good
-
to see you, so good to see you. But brother
-
Richard Jacob, Brother Jesse said, they said, you mean to
-
tell me Richard Jacob goes to church with you. And
-
Brother Jesse said, yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. We
-
are that church family that brother Richard Jacob left Indiana.
-
The wife she spoke up, the wife of the pastor,
-
and she said, all of them Jacob brothers are just wonderful, sweet,
-
great men of God.
-
And she said every one of them.
-
Are hard workers, every one of them are men of excellence.
-
And I thought to myself, wow, she is literally echoing
-
what we've been saying over the last.
-
Two and a half to three weeks and just saying
-
a big hearty a man praise God. So it matters.
-
So brother Jacob has left a mark in Indiana and
-
northern Kentucky for the glory of God.
-
He has made an impact.
-
Not only has he done that in Northern Kentucky and
-
Lower Indiana, he's doing that now in South Florida. Aren't
-
you thankful for a man of his capacity in Caliper
-
being here.
-
I thank God for Brother.
-
Jacob, all right, Brother Nathaniel, Hebrews chapter number four, Versus
-
number fourteen and fifteen.
-
Seeing then that we have a great high priest that
-
has passed into heavens, Into the heavens Jesus, the Son
-
of God, let us hold fast our profession of faith,
-
for we have not a high priest which cannot be
-
touched with a feeling of our infirmities. But wasn't all
-
points tempted like as we are yet without sin?
-
Amen, I'm so thankful that our Lord can feel what
-
we're feeling. I'm glad that he empathizes with his people,
-
Brother Jonathan, Salm, chapter number thirty four and verse number ten.
-
The young lives do lack and suffer hunger, but they
-
that seek the Lord shall.
-
Not want any good thing. Amen.
-
Let's stand for the reading of our golden texts. Amos
-
chapter number eight and verse number eleven. Beloved, the Bible says,
-
to behold the day's come.
-
Say it to Lord.
-
God that I will send a famine in the land,
-
not a famine of bread, nor a.
-
Thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord.
-
Let's pray Heavenly Father, we thank you so much for
-
the opportunity to be in your house, this place that
-
has been designated for worship Lord, not just worshiping any God,
-
but to worship you, Almighty God. You are King of
-
kings and the Lord of lords, and we desire to
-
worship you in spirit and in truth. And I pray
-
that you would anoint this thy servant set of God
-
at my mouth and help me to say the things
-
you would have me to say, nothing more less, and
-
an at the ears of this thy people, that they
-
might hear what the spirit of God says. And to
-
the church tonight, let the sayings go below the shoulders
-
that will saturate the here, at the mind, the soul,
-
the being.
-
Don't let them just go in one ear and out
-
the other.
-
God, I pray help them to be able to hear
-
the word of God, to be able to hear the
-
word of God. There's no famine here, and for that
-
I thank you. There's no famine here, and for that
-
I thank you, and I praise you in Jesus's name.
-
The church said, Amen, as you're being seated, say hey, neighbor,
-
are you hungry?
-
Amen.
-
Our text is found in an Old Testament book of
-
the Holy Bible. The Book of Amos is comforting to
-
those who read it, especially those who feel as though they.
-
Weren't born with a silver spoon in their mouth.
-
After reading the writing of this wonderful man of God Amos,
-
brother Jacob, it has been clear for me to see
-
that he did not live a life of luxury and ease.
-
This man of God knew about hardships and struggles.
-
I'm sure he was very well acquainted with working hard.
-
On a daily basis in order to obtain basic necessities.
-
In this sacred writing of nine chapters.
-
There's some very explicit information about this man and his people.
-
In the first verse of his writing, he references his
-
occupation he worked amongst the herd men of Tacoa. He
-
wasn't everyone's favorite person because of his spiritual office. However,
-
I'm sure he was a favorite person to many because
-
of his natural or carnal occupation that being a shepherd.
-
There was no doubt he provided meat for those that
-
were hungry, for those that were searching for food, This
-
man provided a resource that was libel and stable. There
-
is no doubt whatsoever in my mind that this man
-
had a burden for the common people.
-
As you read his writings, you will see that he
-
wants everyone to know and understand clearly that he isn't
-
one of many in a long line of prophets. His
-
family tree isn't leaning heavily due.
-
To many mighty and no movement of God clinging to
-
its branches. In fact, when it came to his.
-
Very own personal ministry, he didn't feel it to be
-
appropriate to wear the label.
-
And hold the title of an oracle of God. This
-
man did not have false humility. This man was a
-
very humble and sincere individual, one that the Lord had
-
no problem whatsoever calling into ministry. The reason why the
-
Lord called this man in the ministry is because the
-
Lord knew he could command this man in that calling
-
or in that ministry.
-
And so this man he was not looking for a label,
-
nor was he looking for a title. And he wasn't
-
necessarily looking for a spiritual office.
-
He had focused upon.
-
A natural office, and that was as working as a
-
shepherd and also a grower of sycamore fruit. We find
-
here in this book of the Bible, Brother Tyler, that
-
this man had.
-
A major beef with the rich and famous people of Israel.
-
He is like our Lord Jesus. He seems to have
-
a problem with those that are forgetting about the burdens
-
of their brothers and sisters.
-
Remember, early on, near.
-
The very beginning of time, when humanity was in its infancy,
-
Jesus was given Cain and Able, two brothers, an opportunity
-
to work together in the matter of worship, dearing a service,
-
and one was disinterested in offering a pure blood sacrifice.
-
He wanted to offer a sacrifice that was polluted and
-
tainted in some way, and God was sorely displeased with
-
that offering.
-
But God was very pleased with Abel.
-
And during that service, it was evident to whoever was
-
in attendance. We know Cain and Abel were certainly there,
-
but it was evident that God rejected the offering of
-
Cain and he accepted the offering of Abel.
-
The end result was.
-
In jealousy and in pride, Came took the life of
-
his brother. At the end of the day, Cain looked at.
-
God and Kate asked God this question, Am I my
-
brother's keeper?
-
We seem to be true today that very few people
-
are selfless. They're selfish, even preachers that are preaching on
-
a weekly basis, sometimes multiple times a week. As you
-
sit under that ministry, you can tell that it's.
-
All about him.
-
That's about their pension, their paycheck, their parsonage.
-
It's all about him.
-
But you know, Amos and our savior Jesus Christ, when
-
they ministered, it was all about the Father, and it
-
was always about the other person. They were their brother's keeper.
-
And so in these short nine chapters you'll find that
-
the prophet amos He is very upset, said with the
-
way the rich and famous are treating these other Israelites
-
that are less fortunate.
-
In fact, the book itself.
-
For the most part, is strong condemnation concerning the actions
-
and the misdoings of such people. Only towards the very
-
end of this book is there any offer of comfort
-
of consolation. Some of the other biblical writers, like Isaiah
-
and Jeremiah, they spit a lot of time talking about
-
the judgment of God, but they all so spit just
-
about as much time talking about their redemptive power of
-
God and God Sir Ernest desire to restore people that
-
are falling away. But you can tell that amos He
-
is so disgusted with these people there's very few words
-
concerning him turning around.
-
I don't feel like a.
-
Had a vendetta against the rich and the famous. I
-
don't feel like he woke up every morning with a heart.
-
Pull of bitterness.
-
I feel like he realized that these people were past feeling,
-
that these people's consciences had been seared, and that they
-
had no love in their heart whatsoever for their God
-
or for their brother. It sounds like the conscious of Cain,
-
doesn't it do? And so we found that Amos he's
-
like a lord Jesus said, and that he's showed her
-
a contentment to labor in the fields of his own people,
-
as this lord.
-
Did many years later.
-
Scripture shows Amos being a voice for his people. Apparently,
-
the shepherd and grower a Pich enjoyed drawing.
-
And working amongst.
-
To his own people.
-
In fact, when it came.
-
To us, very old ey personal ministry just the holidays,
-
spent countless.
-
Hours talking that people.
-
Are about what was gonna happen.
-
Because of the spiritual famine that was in the land.
-
As a shepherd and as a farm of this.
-
Property, aim of saying, he would have known the importance
-
of having plenty of people as people.
-
He would have looked around and realized that it's.
-
True that people become what they These people like her,
-
the dignitaries of the Pagans had become patent and sassine.
-
They were rich and increased with goods.
-
It's a time of prosperity, a sitting that they need nothing,
-
including the word of God. It's like a lot of
-
churches today. They've won'tly got about twenty minutes for preaching,
-
in thirty minutes for sinning that if you let me
-
out of there in an hour.
-
But there are people.
-
Sitting on his views that are experiencing hunger pains. I
-
want you to know several things that God God stern
-
me as.
-
I was on my bed there in the night, and he.
-
Spoke to me concerning tonight service. He said, somebody will
-
be there heaven.
-
They're experiencing hunger pains.
-
I want to preach.
-
Tonight a serving the Holy dest Tyler.
-
Hunger pains. It's not p a I in s. It's
-
hunger pains. P A in g s.
-
Here. I want you to know along with hunger pains,
-
there is a pain. It's a painful pain. There's somebody
-
to sit and supposed to be the I separted.
-
They're not even spin. The makers of.
-
It thinking dead. There's a pair of the ball. There's
-
somebody that that calls him surper tired, Oh God, to
-
sin on their people. They overtake the increase with you,
-
this fall spiritual it says. Then they don't even need
-
to eat and a bread of life, it says, spied
-
one hour their time to its tool a lim. It's
-
so code, it says to any other things. They're the spin.
-
They ain't got time for a read of life. So
-
as a shepherd and as a farmer, this Papa Amos,
-
he knew these people.
-
Have to have bread, and they have to have fruit.
-
They have to have little water, they have to receive nurse.
-
My people would die for a lack of knowledge. My
-
people will perish from my nourishment. Unbalanced, lopside and preaching
-
will cause saints to fall away. Their people follow blind.
-
Leaders blind day, everybody will in the up in the ditch.
-
Wouldn't be great if somebody receives spiritual sight tonight and
-
realize I'm powering a blind leader and I don't want
-
to end.
-
Up in the DITCHA from I want you anew.
-
I've never seen anybody planter or gardening in a ditcher.
-
You know why, because her the waste throllops enough in
-
the ditch. I said anything back, dude, it's up in
-
the ditcher and in confusion a gita. You don't want
-
it anyway, I'm telling us here to die. I'm preaching
-
to somebody that's experiencing hunger pains. At some point, this
-
natural and spiritual provider became disgusted with the way some
-
of the Israelites were treating they're less fortunate brothers and sisters.
-
When he looked around, he saw a selfless people, not
-
a selfless people, a selfish people's sister rooting people who
-
were not at all concerned about the overall love being.
-
Up there some little brothers and sisters.
-
Now, I don't know about you all.
-
With the Bible set of wise man, he looked well
-
to the state.
-
I has heard and his flocks. And you know, as
-
a leader, as a spiritual reader, I will look to
-
see if.
-
Somebody's getting a little read around the child own it,
-
somebody's getting a little holler in this around the eyes.
-
That's my place early, my respectability. That not prologative and
-
not a children maked to make sure that whenever they
-
get their feeding, they ain't look like real family. Counsel
-
for the skull. I'm turning as you, and now there
-
is never the good reason it all left for you.
-
The tire of God left the same.
-
I'm hungry, given a hungry man's a problem. You're the father.
-
It's not that the word of God was not available.
-
It's God that a prophet was not available. This man
-
who considered himself not worthy, I'm unworthy.
-
He would have thought to do what God needs me
-
to do. But I'm willing.
-
I'm willing to feed these people spiritually and brother annual.
-
He realizes that the some churches.
-
Are just gonna do like those who stole Stephen we do.
-
They're gonna take their index finger on their left hand
-
and they're gonna stick it in their ear and getting in.
-
They're real tired and good.
-
Then they're gonna take their inex finger on the right
-
hand they're sticking in.
-
They're real tired and good.
-
And they're gonna say. You can say whatever you wanna say,
-
you can preach whatever you wanna preach.
-
You can say the South card.
-
And you can get a noted but we are not
-
gonna hear. You don't want to hear that. If they're
-
not gonna hear they you're not gonna heat.
-
And that's what Amos was saying that in this situation.
-
Now God's not gonna turn it around, because they don't
-
gonna turned around. They'll come on that if you're gonna
-
hold the idol left the leadership the laity, how ald
-
for me? This great man of God certainly believed that
-
revival was possible, but you'll find he understood it's highly
-
unlikely until.
-
These selfish people become selfless.
-
Amos refused to overlook this gross situation, the carelessness of
-
these prospering Israelites and their nation being on a Collisian
-
courser with disaster.
-
Amos was not going to.
-
Just sit there and die.
-
You got to remember the.
-
Case of the very sick individuals, where the leopards that
-
were sitting outside the gate of a city that had
-
been overthrown, an army that had been defeated. The man said,
-
how can I sit here in a condition like this
-
till I die? They're packed to you're gonna die. There's
-
a reason for some't their paints go of you experencing.
-
It's their paints. I do only a few days.
-
I've put you a doll that I said it. You're
-
a few days for being dad.
-
God gave us these.
-
Involuntary muscles in the organs.
-
They do what they're supposed to do naturally because Almighty
-
God said so.
-
And the same thing can be said about the empty stomach.
-
When it is empty, you will experience symptoms that can
-
only be satisfied with bread, come.
-
On, or something to eat. And this man knew these
-
people are being preached to. They've hurt some of the
-
finest preaching over the years.
-
But Amos wasn't going to remain silent.
-
He spoke up and at Tiptain to do something. And
-
cannot tell you if you're not a preacher. Sometimes the
-
only thing you can do is put your foot on
-
a brake pedal, grab.
-
A hold of a shifter and put it.
-
In proud and drive past time and break the bakery
-
and go somewhere where Betho is really beck or come
-
on now, and if to the spirit of bakery, I
-
expected it in Mana from heaven, I said, I expect
-
her nanny Mana from heaven. Not every once in a
-
while not being a stretch of revival forever seen this service,
-
I expect it made a poll out of head.
-
In the first three.
-
Verses of the eighth chapter of Amos, we read at
-
the end of.
-
The prosperity of Israel, brother ash agains they got bolved
-
with it for a long but judgment came some of
-
these churches.
-
They are rich and increased for goods.
-
All that matters is how many locks they're getting on Facebook.
-
All the matters is how many followers they've got on Facebook,
-
and how many broadcasts and they've got come on, That's
-
all that matters. The annoying has been traded for advertisement.
-
Time hope, come on, the energy.
-
Of the Holy Ghost.
-
Time has been substituted with the silly stuffs up that
-
you call entertainment.
-
In these first three verses on.
-
The eighth chapter, we found Amos talking about the end
-
of their prosperity.
-
It's represented by basket.
-
A summer fruit.
-
How by tipper you know what that means. Their time
-
was up as the.
-
Rapid summer fruit to last long. These a good day
-
that they didn't change this situation and prehension that there
-
isn't fruit or paintable on a.
-
Weekly basis, that it's not too.
-
Long before a rapping fruit.
-
Take mercy the rotten fruit.
-
Come on now, I'm telling you listen, irregular for currants
-
and instances a fruit ta and if it's riping, it'll
-
be rocked. Be fourteen. They're gonna be regular fresh there,
-
regular fresh fruit here goas it won't be long, sister,
-
how until this riping fruit is rotten fruit.
-
I've seen it before. They expect us just a different and.
-
Enjoy them buying wrapped tomatoes, and we do. But we know, boys,
-
if you don't go out there.
-
And plants some seed, and tenders some plants and bring
-
forth some more big boys, beefy.
-
Boys, and all these other types of tomatoes, all we're
-
gonna end up is rotten tomatoes in hand.
-
Oh, come on, ripeing fruit. Brother's Nathan. You know a
-
little bit about chickens.
-
And you know that at a chicken house they don't
-
have a very long lifespan. You know why that is
-
because somebody.
-
Is gonna eat it. And Preacher, I'm sick.
-
And tired of hearing your re rhymes and your Mitchell
-
leader Michael ravel the suv and so you preach here.
-
Have to hear, have to hear.
-
That's to hear.
-
Somebody wants a press bay.
-
Somebody wants a press print. This lacking protect is about
-
to be rocking.
-
I'm sicking when I hear talking about Smith Wingers left.
-
This changey likeness. Charles Fergion, this that was great pay
-
for their day.
-
But what about this day? Tell me what the saith God?
-
Not what they said, chungy rake, hunger pains. I love
-
the writings of John J. Lake. I enjoy the writings
-
of Charles Fergon.
-
I enjoy the writings of Matthew Henry, probably my favorite.
-
I enjoy the writings of brother John Wesley and brother
-
Charles Fergin. But when it comes to manner for my soul,
-
there's nothing local.
-
Sitting in a reconnery, driving.
-
A warm cup of coffy here and holding that.
-
Blessed booker him the lamp head read it, and.
-
Y'all here re Sister Hannah said two and a half
-
weeks ago.
-
She said, I got in five chapters deeper and I
-
wrote it bore, I say them, not butt of heaven,
-
that can I know?
-
Walk So Amos presents this basket of summer fruit, fresh.
-
Fruit, riping fruit, but it's about to be rotten. And
-
God's telling them your end is up. That church is
-
about to close us doors. There's no annoying in there.
-
There's nothing new one of the sun, the wise man said.
-
The Biblical writer said, are y'all.
-
Listening to me? Right here?
-
I'll turn out there's nothing.
-
New under the sun.
-
Do y'all remember whenever there was a certain group of
-
people that had the spirit of God, they harbored it.
-
It helped them when they did right, it hurt them
-
when they did wrong.
-
And they let the spirit of God leave the building.
-
And those that were hungry, those that needed more. Eli
-
was pat naturally. He was sassing naturally the spiritually who
-
was hungry. And when he heard the the spirited laugh,
-
the Bible said, they fell over backwards and break his neck.
-
That was a high priest, spokes I said, that was
-
a high priest in a person no matter how saved,
-
sink the bid and then he just spear it up.
-
They will die in a house of let us no bread.
-
Then they died in a house let us go after
-
the planet. Then you die in a house where.
-
Let's not stir.
-
For his words are spirit of their life. If you
-
feel like it's dead and try. It's not his words
-
being promoted. Friends, there isn't any fresh fruit available on
-
a weekly basis that it's not too long.
-
Before the ripid fruit becomes rotten fruit.
-
Who enjoys eating as much as me and brother Chip
-
or Roy, just about everybody in this house. If you
-
don't enjoy eating, I guarantee you you eat enough to
-
stay alive. All of us in this building we eat
-
enough to stay alive. Notice our golden texts eight at
-
eleven of Amos. Behold the day's comes, saith the Lord God,
-
that I will send a fairmine in the land, not
-
a famine of bread, nor a thirst of water, but
-
of hearing the words of the Lord, our Lord listening
-
to me. There's churches on every street corner, this false
-
prophets on every hand, even at this time, in the
-
days of Amos, Even.
-
In this time.
-
It ain't that Christian television is at present so called
-
Christian television. It ain't the preachers aren't preaching. They said,
-
of hearing hea the words of the Lord. You know,
-
like God stopped moving there because when God this, nobody
-
wanted to hear it.
-
That's the same thing with Eli.
-
God had to speak the same well that the young man,
-
because God had tried.
-
To speak to Eli and Eli's.
-
Sail, but they did not want to hear what the
-
spirit says.
-
Or in the churches, Hey, the truth.
-
Is sometimes where there's bread, there's.
-
Gonna be painted. I said, the truth is sometimes.
-
Hey, the worm of God we just clicking popers.
-
He wielded this.
-
Old things do need to be done alay with in
-
order to make room away. It wasn't Amos that sent
-
to Baman. It wasn't a church deacon. It wasn't somebody
-
of laity. It wasn't the mayor of the town or
-
the king of Israel. The Lord said to Famin, how
-
many of you have ever been in a house of worship,
-
a place that called itself the House of God on
-
their marquis mysen As Sibling of God holding his House
-
of God, first Church of God, Baptist House of God
-
on the marquis and claimed to be house of God.
-
Nobody's gonna take a can of orange, a spray paint
-
and graffiti that Marquis of signed and right incabad on it.
-
But I can tell you this in the spiritual realm,
-
how do you know by divine assignment that one of
-
them angela beings.
-
Hasn't already taken a finger, has.
-
Cried in kabad, hold the marquis, Oh, come on none.
-
That's when the devil.
-
Comes in with seven others. He parish the house swept, can.
-
None miss and sitting there looking.
-
For a calm. They're looking for a shouting.
-
They're looking for something.
-
I'm gonna get on counterfeit bad. I'm gonna get on
-
take bad.
-
I'm gonna give him a tink experience.
-
Hey, I'm gonna give him a counterfeit. God who ard
-
the the counterfeit concept? To get out of theirs with
-
the counterfeit God, Gobaba said.
-
A little leaven.
-
Even at the hold up. All that takes is one
-
preacher to transform himself into an angel light, a messenger
-
in despite a toxic living into the bed that he
-
is feeding these people off, and in time he in
-
collar up and lopa, he is to rough the head.
-
They've got to the place now, to the Acostal churches
-
where they are now saying, I don't believe the speaking
-
of other tongues is the initial evidence.
-
I don't believe that that's relevant to the church today.
-
I don't believe that healing is for this generation.
-
That's called she says, cessationist.
-
They believe it after the apostles let them win up.
-
To glory that there was no longer healings available.
-
That is a life from the Pitzer of hell.
-
You know what happens when they get done parenting Johnsy
-
Lake and they're not able to have the miracles of
-
Johnsy Lake? Did he had the miracles because me like
-
him and William say more than prize, sanctification and separation.
-
You know what happens when they don't get the results.
-
It's some of their heroes that they're emulating and parenting
-
her and copycatting. Did they go counterpica or come on now?
-
They're just like the false propets up of Josefair. You're
-
willing to have competus up. You're willing to have conventions.
-
They're willingna have you cancel. They wanna go all the
-
old future out the creature.
-
They gotta turn about in us. But where's the power, where's.
-
The pa where's the signs.
-
Filling the rest that pictuacha.
-
I came to hear the night there's a reason for
-
those hunger pegs. I thank God tonight that my soul
-
is well fed by his word, by these great preacher
-
brethren of Bethel.
-
I don't know how many of them. There are, about
-
fourteen of.
-
Them, probably plus if you count the ones that's overseas,
-
maybe more.
-
And you know what, Brother rope Cap. Every single service
-
we hear from three of them.
-
My soul feasted to night home work. Brother Samuel said,
-
my soul feasting the night ho work. Brother Nathaniel said,
-
I still feasted o work.
-
But Caleb said, about a week and a half ago,
-
Brother Caleb said, I got rooted and.
-
Grounded when I prayed it through.
-
The this holling, this way is my lifestyle. This is
-
my life that I'm gonna be contempt as a man
-
of Tardi. I'm still a priest and under preach's words
-
because they're taught its fire. Hunger paints Verse number ten,
-
the verse before our golden text, tells us that the
-
Lord calls.
-
Their feasting to cease.
-
The party's over bel shazarvar know something about that the
-
party's over, Darius, but know something about that uh.
-
Verse number twelve tell us that whoever they go to
-
will be able to provide nourishment and satisfaction since the
-
weakness and in verse number twelve that no matter where
-
they go, they will be unable to find nourishment and satisfaction.
-
I'm glad that about ten years ago, sister, how and
-
I said.
-
You know what, if we need to, we're gonna move
-
to La Belle.
-
But you know before that, eighteen years ago, we said,
-
if it's gonna come to this to get food for
-
our boys and our daughter's soul, five boys and one dollar,
-
we're gonna drive two hours each way. And if we
-
did that for six years, sometimes two, three, five, six
-
times a week, two hours each way. That's when diesel
-
fueled was five dollars a gallon. It cost us to
-
come to church. Oh come on now, I don't believe
-
in cheesy, greasy or cheat grace. How do you believe it?
-
Sometimes in order to eat a premium on tree, you're
-
gonna have to pay for here. Come on now, he said,
-
you just got to me a holy cost us.
-
You only can come easy.
-
It ain't a greasy ho it goes. He ain't a
-
cheese it he ain't a chieve hoes it goes. It
-
costs us something else you are up in.
-
He is pretty costious something you tying you you're going you.
-
Chanser a pen Come on now.
-
I remember I was around the age of twenty one years.
-
Old when I first started feeling the.
-
Spiritual hunger pains.
-
I told Sister House.
-
And I don't know what's going on.
-
Love, halt my soul. My entire being is father, You're must.
-
Swimming up to them. I don't know about you.
-
Want how many of this feeling a.
-
Familia a hunger pains?
-
You skip a million or two and your body response
-
to that empty stomach is hunger pains. Before I come down.
-
To here the pastor before eighteen years.
-
Ago, I had the boys and my daughter and my
-
wather hold the lake sometimes two to three times a week.
-
I'm being honest concerning that time, and I was not
-
wanting to eat you bot you while I fish. Then
-
all the way in a fishing holes the root and
-
I stopped by the McDonald's there and Port Me, Florida,
-
and get a couple of.
-
Cheap cheese burgers and feed them.
-
I said, this is a supplement until we eat the
-
meal after we've caught the fish.
-
And the four Season's restaurant was over there near.
-
Crosspoo I love to eat the four seasons, and so
-
I would make us wait, and I'd say, I give
-
you a little bit to hold you over.
-
Oh come on, now, that's just the how.
-
After about three hours, she said, cheer mare, you're getting hungry.
-
I say, not yet, not so hungry that I.
-
Need to stop fishing.
-
After about pine hours, she's pound a billions say that
-
cheeseburger's gold.
-
How many of you have a kid, remember your.
-
Mama saying that all of her life, she has told
-
me when he's hungry, the biscuit's gone there. Oh come on, now,
-
I want you to know it's hot left for you.
-
And you now said, it's sposed the son that you have.
-
Sister here, somebody's the seven that you have. New a
-
person say, it's okay that you will tell that preacher
-
you're work this long day. Look, it's very fair that
-
it's not persons this long prince start to kill your sister.
-
That's something in prince two times, it's long day. I'm
-
not gonna sit here and die. I don't have if
-
you hope your friends in.
-
You by, why don't have to sit here? I said,
-
I said, where that had preachure?
-
So all those serments. There's remot servants. They are sustaining
-
as cot candy. There's advertising and satisfying the us as
-
a grain salad is to a hungry lion, And that
-
preaching lets you asked that question, Why am I so hungry?
-
Why do I have such an appetite? Why am I
-
not satisfying? He knows, He's said, repeed, the lion's come.
-
They're all in silent y said us.
-
We know what did and all the preaching.
-
Is the method. I'm you're near or how you know it?
-
You they're come on now? You mean I was raised
-
under you're not at church to God? Wain told us
-
what good preach to death. Won't shove a bother in
-
my mouth that make me say it's a long horn steak,
-
don't stand a squirrels story, nothing about Zachi's brother chip.
-
Don't shove a rabbit story down my gullet and tell
-
me that's like a lamb.
-
Sweet love of God cannot treat you just a little longer.
-
Shall we go to the house.
-
I'll said that gold chat it's not satisfying to a
-
lion's cub. In Psal chapter number thirty four and verse
-
number ten, the songmer said, the young lions do lack
-
and suffer hunger.
-
But they that seek the Lord shall not be any
-
good thing.
-
I'll seek my way right out.
-
Of that church.
-
I'll seek my way right out of where there's coms
-
on the floor.
-
And find that all you can eat. My come on
-
the your lies to like to suffer hunger. But that's
-
secret a cheat, that secret of the Lord, that secret
-
of mat How about lie he the good you get?
-
That's why A here, because them not to see to
-
it he a lot any.
-
Jesus is the ancient know the ageless lion of Judah.
-
His mind comes. We will time food one way or another.
-
I said, I'm a lion targo her.
-
Lying her Tudah and the liance of this.
-
World may be relied. But the lying on Judah and
-
his offspring, they will never suffer the Do you know why?
-
Because Jesus understands these hunger pains?
-
We're here today because some elders down in this area,
-
they prayed for years God weakness body to come be
-
our pastor. Y'all, we need somebody to feed us spiritually.
-
When I got here, there was about four to six
-
of them.
-
Are y'all listening to me.
-
Now there's eighty, and people say, well, that's easy to
-
have church, whether it's eighty. Let me take you back
-
eighteen years ago. Let me take you back fifteen years ago.
-
Sister Vicky, you're here, you would remember the storefront twelve
-
years ago.
-
There was only thirty or forty of us in there.
-
If we had church, I won't try to know these
-
little line comes of God.
-
We didn't have hunger pains.
-
Very much over there in the storefront.
-
And when we grow into that big sanctuary that God's
-
got for us, we're coming now. We ain't gonna be
-
eat garden sellings. I said, you're not gonna be eating
-
cotton candy when went out, don't.
-
Mad sugar cookers. We're gonna be eating.
-
The bread of God.
-
Jesus up the stands. These hunger pains, youre Mark's gospel.
-
John Martin wrote in the eleven in the twelfth verse,
-
and we read it concerning Jesus.
-
And on themorrow when they were come.
-
From Bethany, he was hungry.
-
Jesus was hungry as a god man, one hundred percent
-
God and one hundred percent man. At the same time,
-
God incarnate that man inside of God was hungry, and
-
he looked at a.
-
Fig tree, and in context to kind of move on.
-
Here the reason why Jesus cursed.
-
That fig tree, brother Chip, for that fig.
-
Tree represented kind of like in the basket of summer fruit,
-
so much it represented the scribes and the.
-
Pharisees looked apart.
-
They had the church, they had the religious duties, functions, activities,
-
but they had denied the power of God. And so
-
Sister Howl, when he came, he noticed that that pig
-
tree was promising fruit.
-
That pig tree was promising tru.
-
Are you gonna with me? That pig tree was promising
-
fruiture it had the leaves on it.
-
It had to sprints with a put closer observation.
-
There was no fruit on it.
-
And so when Jesus pulled back the leaves, so it
-
should have had fruit, but for some reason it was fruitless.
-
He y'all know her.
-
It's okay with me when somebody shows up.
-
Here and they say, I'm sick and tired of.
-
Finding a church.
-
Had promised cruitu com to tell me, come on, I
-
need more. It's to tell you gotta give me somethings.
-
Jesus's indictment and courage to the peg tree was because
-
it promised.
-
Something it did not have. When I turned my li
-
liquor on.
-
And I pulled into a church, triply.
-
I expect this spear to God to be there.
-
Expect the preacher to attain and pastor till God gives
-
us something to eat.
-
That tream was chars by the road cap. But you
-
know what, Jesus, He's gonna see through it to his offspring.
-
Doesn't lack in Paris from hung them.
-
Even the prodigal son knows in the father's house there's
-
bread enough in despair.
-
Come go, women, Come go women.
-
You'll find out there's enough bread for ten thousand if
-
they just come, because the multipliers there, because the provider's there.
-
Oh, come on now Hebrews four, fourteen and fifteen s.
-
And then that we have a great high priest that
-
has passed unto the heavens, Jesus the Son of God.
-
Let us hold past our profession verse number fifteen. If
-
we have not a high priest which cannot be touched
-
with a feeling of our infirmities, but was in all
-
points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. First,
-
let me say when a person is starving spiritually. It's
-
easy for them to eat any.
-
And it's easy for them to think no one understands
-
what they're going through.
-
I've seemed to look in some of your eyes when
-
you got here.
-
And you've thought, surely nobody would know how to feed you,
-
that nobody would walk to feed you.
-
But it didn't take long you realize that's our pleasure
-
to feed you.
-
Well.
-
So the Lord and Amos knew what was happening to
-
those that were less fortunate, the ones who lived in
-
Amos's time.
-
Sister Howell. Amos was a shepherd and a provider of fruit.
-
Those that lived in Jesus' time, the sick, the blind,
-
the withard, the.
-
Poor, they had the Gospel preach to them. Brother rode Gap.
-
He didn't look to go into Conface's house, the Pilot's palace.
-
He wanted to minister to those that needed it. They
-
that are whole need not a position for.
-
They that are sick. You know why you're hungry because
-
you haven't been fed. You know why you're experiencing hunger
-
pains because you're malnursed.
-
But you know what, I can already see you recovering
-
strength and all you've had is an advertiser. You remember
-
when Saul he charged his young men, including his own
-
son and bye It warrior.
-
He said, don't you eat anything. And Jonathan knew that
-
charge is too severe. The men are going to be famished,
-
man nursed, and they're going to fall into the hands
-
of the enemy.
-
And Jonathan took his sword and dipped it in the honey.
-
And then they call you and say, I hear you've
-
been going to that preacher's church. I gotta do it
-
before you some honey. That's like that good brother from California.
-
They told me, said he's been listening.
-
And he said, I'm an executive, a high level, upper.
-
Level executive for a chef some kind of company out California.
-
He said, I've been listening to you for about a
-
year and a half. I believe you said sometime now.
-
He said, I've been listening to your messages. He said,
-
I go to a church of God that is very worldly.
-
And he said, I'm the only holiness person there and
-
I'm surviving on your sermons, Brother Bill Houston sermons, and
-
Brother benni'st otherland servants, and Brother Chip Roy.
-
He told me, he said, we have a sister company
-
in Miami.
-
I didn't put words in his mouth, but he said
-
I hope to see y'all very soon. Wouldn't have been
-
an indictment to that pastor of that world a church
-
to corner him and say I heard.
-
You've been listening to them hold on his teachers preach.
-
You've been tuning end of that podcast.
-
And listening on line. I'm upset because you dip your
-
sword and some.
-
Honey when you walk through your eyes.
-
And lit up hotel to them all morning. You aye,
-
so gonna be going.
-
Coming ball more and you're gonna say I tasted it
-
alone and just like a whole ess hot he feels
-
dead and my her has this over here. Come on
-
and taste the coming Lord and see that he is.
-
He's good luck this every sir?
-
What man?
-
Should I keep pleaching or should we go to the house.
-
I'm not gonna be content to eat whatever's throwing my way.
-
You can settle for the bone, but I'll take the real.
-
You can settle for the tremens of fact left on
-
the table, but I'll take the porterhouse.
-
Baby.
-
Come on, now, the Lord and Amos knew what was
-
happening to those less fortunate.
-
Do you hear me? And I'm gonna tell you about
-
a week ago, God dealt with me and just has
-
been eating me up.
-
I told Sister House that I don't know how I
-
can preach. She's never known what I'm gonna preach. In
-
eighteen years, I've never told her what I'm preaching on
-
and never told her a title have my.
-
Sister Howell never And I didn't tell her tonight.
-
I said, Honey, I've been preferring my brothers for about
-
two and a half weeks now.
-
I'm not a poolpit hog. Oh brother Chip, you preach
-
great too, by the way. And I said, but I've
-
got so much inside I don't know how I can
-
preach all of it less than an hour and fifteen minutes.
-
And all are tell him and to keep preaching.
-
I'm not gonna just sit there and starvation mode and
-
don't done anything out anything. Somebody ain't gonna feed me
-
hogs lop and tell me it's soup out of the
-
father's house.
-
Somebody's not gonna.
-
To toss me corn husk and tell me to this
-
bread out of mama's house. I can tell the difference
-
A sweet sister years ago that attended our church over
-
there at the storefront.
-
She had went off to some camp meetings and she
-
had heard some preachers preach, and.
-
She come back and she said, well, I went looking
-
for something, just, you know, just something different. She said,
-
I'm satisfied with our church. I'm satisfied with your preaching.
-
She said, I just want to go out and see
-
my brothers and sisters. And she said, you know, I've
-
just never been to a camp meeting. I've heard you
-
talk about it. Just wanted to go experience it. And
-
she said, I'm glad to be home.
-
She said, you can tell the difference, She said, you
-
can tell the difference in the atmosphere because it didn't
-
want it. You can tell who's warming up a sermon book.
-
You can tell who's reading nothing outlined.
-
And this girl had me men say, but about a
-
year and a half, two years, And she said, but
-
I know enough to tell the different Come on, I
-
could taste the difference between Mama's baked town on Christmas
-
morning and what comes out of a spam. Can I
-
we like to do right, sweet lad with God. I
-
don't want to stay week right here right now. Brother
-
Jeremiah Amos and the Lord. They saw what their people needed.
-
And I have seen it and I have felt it.
-
All I can say is the gate's opened, there's green pastures,
-
there's a still water source. And Jesus emphathizes with those
-
that are here tonight experiencing hunger pains.
-
He knows. He knew what it was to feel hungry,
-
He knew what it was to experience thirst.
-
Jesus knows about all the needs of the people of humanity.
-
Let's stand tonight.
-
Jesus knows, and Jesus understands exactly what you were feeling,
-
of what you were thinking.
-
And Jesus knows why you're here and what I want.
-
To tell you before you go.
-
Come and done, Come and dine at his table. In
-
John chapter number six and verse number thirty five. And
-
Jesus said, unto them, I am the bread of life.
-
And here's what I felt like.
-
The Lord spoke in my heart, says to Janet, Hell,
-
I love it, and I don't want to ever forget it.
-
He said, My lion cubs never lack nor do without amen,
-
brother Caleb, But you come to the pena tonight.
-
Brother. God was letting them know that there.
-
Would come a time when His word would be absent
-
from their lives because people had allowed their ears to
-
become dull of hearing.
-
Brother Richard Jacob. To be without food and starving to
-
death is a horrible thing.
-
And so with a burden I opened the altar for
-
any brother or sister, friend in Christ, family member, anybody here,
-
any visitor with a burden in love from my heart,
-
I hope and the altars and say, come and down.
-
Jesus is going to meet you around here to goad.
-
Some have resisted hearing God's word, but there's people in
-
this building tonight you're not resisting.
-
I can tell you have that look in your eyes.
-
You're hungry, You're thankful to hear God's words. You're thankful
-
that God's word came to you. In the case of
-
Amos's people, they rebel to gainst scripture and God could
-
no longer send it.
-
You know why it dries up.
-
You know why there's a famine and various places throughout time.
-
Do you know why that is?
-
Because they rebel it gets scripture and then God sees no.
-
Need to send the seed or the rain.
-
God, if you feel lad to pray with somebody to die,
-
but you prayed with them. If you feel impressed of
-
the Lord to be your brother's keeper and to help
-
them bear their burden and to help usher them to
-
the storehouse where they can receive manna for their soul,
-
that you turn with them tonight, Bread of Heaven, feed
-
me till I want no more. Somebody came to church
-
to not experiencing your days.
-
He wros me.
-
