He Is Able To Finish The Work He Started - Bro Jeremy Howell-1-15-2025

Me to Philippians.

Philippians, everybody say that with me, Philippians, Philippians, Yes, Philippio.

Opened that Bible right now and turn to the Book

of Philippians.

Okay, Philippians, May I direct your attention to the first

chapter in the sixth verse, Brother Jesse Acts chapter number

twenty and verse number twenty four. Brother Nathaniel, Second Timothy,

Chapter number four and verse number seven. Again, Brother Jesse

Acts Chapter number twenty, verse number twenty four, and Brother

Nathaniel Second Timothy, chapter number four and verse number seven.

Would you read Sacred Timothy four and seven, Brother Nathaniel,

I have fought a good fight.

I have finished my course. I have kept the faith.

Praise the Lord. Wonderful words from the Apostle Paul to

the young Bishop Timothy.

Brother Jesse acts Chapter number twenty and verse number twenty four.

But none of these things move me, neither count I

my life dear to myself, so that I might finish

my course with joy and the ministry which I have

received the Lord Jesus to testify the Gospel of the

grace of God.

Let's pull out.

That part of that verse that makes the statement finish

my course. Let's stand for the reading of our golden

text and reverence to the Word of God Philippians, chapter

number one and verse number six. And also don't want

to say it is so good to have the Giddins

family back, so good.

To have the Giddess family packers.

So many of you now it's easy to overlook it,

and we misput a sam on his family. May God

give them traveling mersesus my understanding, they will walk in

tonight at some point when they do that which y'all remember,

I'm preaching, Mono. I love y'all this kid, that the

beautiful family will be walking in Philippians, chapter number one

and verse number six. Being confident of this very thing,

that He which hath begun a good work in you

will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. Would

y'all pray with me, Heavenly Father, We thank you so

much for how we have feasted a spiritual manner from

the mouths of these brothers and sisters of Christ.

And I no doubt my soul has been fed. And

as that well fed fatted cat with the stall I

have been thought, I will admit that, Lord, I'm not

ashamed to admit that I have been greatly blessed.

As your people have spoke what thus said the word

of God, and as they have sayn the lyrics of

these gospel songs that have blessed us through the ages,

my soul has been blessed. Pray that you would anoint

this thy service and a guard at my mouth, and

help me to say those things you would have me

to say nothing more less, and anoint the ears of

this thy people, and they might hear with the spirit

of God.

Says it to this church tonight, Lord, may we receive

this word joyfully.

They will not depart this place sorrowfully in Jesus' name.

And the church said, Amen, as you're being seated, look

at your neighbor and say, hey, neighbor, he's faithful to

finish his work. How many of you know God always

finishes what he starts. Our text is founded a New

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

The reason this book is titled the Book of Philippians

is because this particular Pauline epistle was addressed to people

that lived in the land of Philippi. The author of

this book of the Bible is the Beloved Great Apostle Paul.

The Bible readers and students present tonight should recall a

vision that the Apostle Paul had while he was in

another city. Again, I want to point that out, that

you should recall that Apostle Paul had a vision, a vision.

At some point he was resting. I don't know whether

or not his eyes were closed. I'm unsure of that detail,

but at some point he received a heavenly vision, and

no doubt within that vision there was a heaven sent visitor.

And so we recall the vision that the Apostle Paul

had while he was in another city.

So he was not in the land of Philippine at

that time.

And while he was in this other land, and I

do know the name of the other city that he

was in at that time. While he was there, in

that vision, he saw a man of Macedonia requesting Paul

to come and help them spiritually. How many of you

would recognize a Chinese man if you had a vision

of a Chinaman speaking to you, a lot of you

would How many of you would recognize a Russian man

if you had a vision of that man speaking to you,

A whole lot less of you would be able to

decern a difference between that Russian man and an American man.

While almost every one of you had said that you

would be able to immediately recognize that that particular man

from China was a Chinaman as he spoke to you

in that vision. And so Paul was able to understand

that this man was from Macedonia because in this vision,

Paul received clarity regarding where this man was speaking from.

And this vision was a request for the man of

God to come to that particular area and help them spiritually.

How many of you feel like you could go at

this alone, not very many of you.

You understand that the Bible said that God gave us apostles,

He gave us evangelist, he gave us pastors, he gave

us teachers, gifts sent down from above, from the very

portals of Glory. They descended from the very hand of

God into this earth for us. So we are a

gifted people. How many of you appreciate the gift that

God has given you?

And so these people were gifted the great.

Apostle Paul to come help them spiritually. They needed somebody

to guide them, They needed somebody to lead them. And

at some point Paul and his travel companions featured into

that area, and they found in the way, they found

this little region of Philippi.

And according to the New Testament.

Writings, Paul spent a considerable amount of time in that area,

establishing a great.

Spiritual work there for fellow believers.

He was not trying to establish a McDonald's or Cafsy

or Taco Bell franchised. He was trying to establish a church,

a place where people were gathered together. And when he left,

he would not fly on a plata insignia of any denomination,

and he would not plaster on the marquee any sign

that would signify we belonged to a certain segment, a

fracture of man's design. But he left that particular region

at some point, and he left behind people that were

people of God.

And we found that this man, apostle Paul, was one

that was.

Willing to go into the highways and into the hedges

in order to pluck out those people.

That should be saved.

The Bible said that God added unto the church daily

such as should be.

Saved, right, and some of those people that should.

Be saved were these people that lived in Philippi. They

became our brothers and sisters in Christ.

PAULA. I'm telling you it took more than a.

Weeknd for the great Apostle Paul to establish this work

in Philippi.

Sister how well mentioned to not how it has been

worth it concerning establishing.

An independent Pentecostal holiness work in this part of Florida.

And I feel like Apostle Paul, at the end.

Of the day could have said that it was worth

it for me to establish an independent Pentecostal work in

that particular region, the area of Macedonia. Truly, the vision

of the Macedonian.

Carle Paul and.

Has been a sterial and evangelistic teen to Philippie.

This vision of.

A man beseeching them to come to them, Let them.

Not to a man again, this vision that.

They received of a Macedonian man beseeching or requesting them

to come under them.

Let them not to a man, but to a prosperous

business woman.

The Bible students, Bible teachers and college here, deny you

know about lydy ADULTSA.

She is that very successful business lady. She's the seller

of purple. The Bible said the word of a sell

Royal guard at some point this gentile woman.

Had been converted from paganism unto Judaism, and she realized

her that.

Must be something more.

As she studied the writings of the propert in the synagogue,

she got hungry for the real message.

And she was one that was looking for the Messiah.

And as these apostles begin to scatter throughout the earth

because of severe persecution, they would stumble across them, these

people that.

Were seekers of truth. And at some point.

Apostle Paula looking for a place together to church and

looking for the purpose of his ministry in alarm at Philippow,

he goes down there to the river, a trip was

much similar to the Closatche.

It's literally at.

The end of the road here.

And as he walks by with his travel companions, he sees.

A group of a precious women. They're not fishing for catfishing, they're.

Not casting Alana or a Netta in the water, but

they heard casting that they're.

Bearing upon the water, believe and.

That it has returned to them. Well, I feel like

these women. They begin to embrace the idea of Jesus

Christ and beating the Messiah.

And as they're praying on their knee, not fishing there.

As they're praying, they're having prayer meeting.

Well, they're not in the building up.

It's got a flag in the front yard. They're not

in the building that's got a side of a marquis

in the front yard. Here comes the one and only,

the greatest promoter of Christianity.

You the prayers that tell of it to you women.

I want to tell some of our women here tonight.

Sometimes we feel the life because our husband has left us.

Who he's dyed and gone home, and we have been

forgotten and forsaken. And well, yes we.

Battle that at times after the death or the abandonment of.

Some and it was so here to us and these

women they begin to pray.

And the only one that could have come, and the

only one that could have helped her, he came. And

almost somebody in this building. The news God taught you

was pricious.

That first time you prayed. The first time is steering

of God through you in the house of God, that

first encounter that you had, whether.

You were a little girl in the altar or not,

they're a grown woman to the altar.

They're on your child. Whatever that firston counter was. I

know some timer has called on now you progress.

Yes, Leniah could say, I'm not opinion anymore.

I don't agree to get along with that. I can't

get along that in opinion.

That there's kind of me, something more than you. That

is that she embraced her Christianity.

I said, she grabbed.

Christianity Bible, poor luck, and said you will not release.

She fell in love with Christianity, meaning she fell in

love for Christ because Christianity.

Is more than a religion.

It is a relationship between the bridegroom and the bride.

Come on now and this woman Lydia.

There's nothing sin about men being in their lives.

There's nothing at all sin about men desiring to build

a church. But there's something beginning in the heart of

the seller of purple.

This tells me whether.

You're a princess or a pauper, whether you're selling tattered ranso.

Or all good. God is my clock of you. A

lot of people have thrown the alst celebrities out with

in this water, and they have forgot.

That God loves the wall as much as he loves

the whole.

Hole the street. You see what a lot of.

People were thinking of nick God mis thinking of never caniser.

When a lot of people were thinking of Sidus God

mistaking of solemn toss, I say, I tell us.

Somebody it what surprised me at all?

If somebody think of heard it's some famous celebrity, there's some.

Proper They come to an experience. It is the beginning

of an.

Experience, their relationship with Jesus. You see, Radio no doubt

was blessed tremendously financially because of another writing the apostle

Paul chastised of the churches newly found, newly organized, newly

structured churches he tasked him, chastised him because of their

lack of supporting ministry.

But he gave this particular body of Christ a commendation, and.

He spoke very finally of how they supported him financially. Now,

those of you that know mother, how I'm not one

of these preachers trying to slip that in.

There to get you to give me your money. I

don't want your money, Oh come on, but I want

you to know.

God knew that this prosperous businesswoman Lidia.

Was down there to the river bank praying. And you know,

much just as mi reckless as that to seek God

want to help a woman took her life.

To fruition to seek God, want to help some woman

get to fulfillment. The man that's standing there, the apostle

Paula himself, is not yet.

To a finished worker. He's a worker in progress. That

they all know who is the author. And because of

my God and all began, they have profidenswer.

Then he want just as crazy as it began.

I tell us somebody to night, don't nothing get a

lie of you. It worked in it, so that's good

up because it started. My wife asked the question. Just

before I walked out of that office. She text me.

She said, how you feeling? I said, very weak? How

you feeling very sick? I'm just like my sheep, but

I must feed them. You look around here tonight, you

can tell there's a lot of sick people. Harmongous brother

Samuel messages me today. I believe it was around four o'clock.

He said, my kids are evidently for the girls, he said,

they have not adjusted at all to the weather. He said,

Mary's face, it is completely wrong. Her lips are smollen,

they're cracked the us. He said, they just were.

Not prepared for this freaching weather.

He said I've got to get them home. I've got

to cut this vacation short and get them home. What

mother Samuel was saying, We're not gonna finish out her vacation.

He might be disappointing his wife. I doubt it her.

She told me there too ago she was ready to

head south to wander Weather and to come home. I

don't know for them, it's disappointed or not. I don't

think so. On day two or three, he said, this

Florida boy has had.

Enough of it now, Brother Samuel and his precious family.

He lord re brother. Before they set out to go

on a vacation from Friday to Friday.

You know what, they finish a little early? I said,

do they finish her a little early? Some people were

saying that they didn't get to finish, And they said

the same thing about people like Jesus who's lost.

With cut short. They said, did he get to finish

his life? He said so, I said, who said so?

They said, it is cut down?

It is prime.

Well, turty three and a half years, so he was

cut down there.

Judy would say he did knock finish because Jesus said

that thirty.

Three and a half years, and.

That he when you're true was lost balt and that's hold.

He said, it is madness time. I said, he it

is Penis.

Talk to Tennis, say what he's doing in your life?

Just their time. When I'm bottle of cancer, that's okay.

He could finishes just the hot one. When I bottle

a seat, say RPD, that's okay. He contentish it. Lydia,

remember what cut in your heart when you felt my.

Worship and idols. It's not obayed the one you thought

my visitor to the City.

Of God man, Lydia, remember the again. Now you feeling

right now?

Pastor great? How we're gonna feel in heaven?

Great?

Not only what's the prosperous business woman?

Lydia gloriously miraculously convert them from two Dayism to Christianity.

Not only does sheephaw in love with Jesus.

But you will remember that Paul and Silace had got

imprisoned when they had obeyed this heavenly vision, this Macedonian

man calling them to a bunch of women, right, come on, and.

They end up in prison.

How could that be the will of God? The two

great men of God be treated worse than criminals, be.

Side in the solitary confinement. Put in the intermost part

the prius, and be treated worser than the murderer. Be

treating worsa than the ruthlesser. You know what to the world, tamper.

I feel like Paul looked to.

Silence after the trade. They said, listen, he's still working

on me. Hain't come on round you two tall children.

That's song, we say her.

It took him just a rooka to make the moon

and the stars of the sun, the anser and.

Dreaming their mars. How many of you know, I'm sure

Paul said a solace. God ain't tennis yet, I said he,

God ain't phenis yea? I go out again? Then I

have an idea in a in our time.

How many homeschool the mothers do we're having this building tonight,

A bunch of them.

How many school teachers do we're having this building tonight?

A few of you? You know, as teachers and homeschool brother,

you give your children or your students or your pupils

appointments and assignments. You say, you have an appointment to

be here on such and such days of the week,

at such and such hours of the week.

I've got some employees.

I tell them when to be there, and I tell

them what days they'll be working and when they'll leave.

And we also go over our assignments. Don't with teachers,

don't we, Boss min You know what I'm talking about, boss.

Man, on a daily on the basis you go over

it better Road Camp won't with you and your homeschool

wife do with their kids, or you with your employees.

In fact, about two or three hours they came over

there and said, what else do you want me to do?

Better Road Camp would say, did your finish your assignments?

Is your finish doing what I told you to do?

For some of you that are fear of sickness, of.

Umilitating, yet us up and goes ease your weaknesses that

you battle.

I want you to know God's not gonna let you

tell of shay it now. God's not gonna let you

turn it up. God's gonna let you tenis I send

you apostle. Paul said, I have fault. What good saying

is a protect by this? It was a took God.

He said, I have tennis because.

With God, Jesus Christ particularly again creating dear in creation.

How many of you know we believe in creationism. We

sure do.

When Jesus Christ began creating, on day one, he finished

his assignment.

On day two, he.

Finished his assignment, and it goes.

Right on now let you. On day seven he took

the rest with every day after his.

Labor, he said, it is good since the one something

that came to me in prayer was I'm yet to

see a undolence will doing circles in the ocean. I'm

yet to see of one legged donkey where God didn't tenishing.

I'm yet to see a river losing its course. I'm

yet to see Come.

On, I'm telling you a one way tree, I said.

I'm yet to see a tree will out lose. I'm

yet to see a car without a staughter. I'm telling

you God, he will finish.

Said what saver? He said, here do he will do it.

The man that said you ought to rejoice more over

the event, for the day of one's birth their death,

more than.

The day of their birth, what to say is you

ought to rejoice.

For at the ending than the beginning. It that's exactly right.

How many times have you seen people line up for

the race. You'll get to the imagery as Apostle Paul.

He stood over there and observed the Romans who loved

to run, and he noticed these guys like.

To run, and some of them may finishing the race.

Some of them may.

Crossing the finish line. Everybody's crossing the starting line. The

very few teeth's crossing it the finished line.

You know what, Apostle Paul was saying.

Some of you might the eternal slow, and some of

you might the rabbit faster. But at the end of

the day, in the Grand Stanza, there there's a great

cloud of our witnesses. A people that pass, I said.

Some finished time with their cheer in the air and

their chest out, and they hip to the U. You

tell everybody else. The others got through with a stein

of their teeth. Others got through on the palm of

the head. The old me, he called the Christing. I'm

telling you God us we will help you Ferash.

As sure as I'm gonna finish that bowl of chili

here in a minute, sir, you ain't gonna see one

drivel on the edge of my ball.

You ain't gonna see one drop in the bottom.

I'm gonna tell you, God love Nebby as much as

he loved Nikki. God love never connessur as much as

he loved little nick has running around throughout the Babylonian Empire.

Oh my Jesus, I'm telling somebody I believe in spiritual growth.

Here at the Beath the Holdness Church, we are committed

to spiritual growth, maturity, and development and during the days

of creation God was committed to finish. Here at the

Bethel Hole Inness Church, we are committed to following peace

with all men and holiness, without which no.

Man shall see the Lord. Do you know why there

won't been a God said? It's holiness or hell.

The word sanctification, it's separation, it's synonymous with holiness. What

they were saying is, if you've got the spirit of

the world, if you love the world, if you.

Wther be in the world.

Demons, you can got cut Upennis, I said, if you'd

rather be in the world demons, you're.

Not cut up.

Pennis, you better throw your heart across the Pennis, Lilah, Paulaaah.

If it happens that we reach spiritual maturity, it won't

be because.

Of anything we've done.

I will never be good enough, I will never live

good enough. I will never praise him good enough. I

will never pray good enough. I will never preach good enough.

I said, God, please annoy me and please help me

to preach to these eighty people have to Bethel Holiness

Church because they want to be fed.

That's why they come here. They want to be fed.

And that's what Jesus told Peter when he was tempting

to go back to fisherman's life, something he was more

comfortable doing, something he was more familiar with. Jesus looked

at him through eyes of brokenness, and he said, will

you just feed my sheep, Peter.

I'll take care of you.

I'll take care of your family. I'll take care of

the rest of it. If you'll start, it will tell

us at if spiritual maturity happens, it will be because

of his sacrifice, not only ours, and it will be

solely because of Him and his goodness.

And his grace.

Apostle Paul had confidence in the members of the church

at Philippi, these Philippians, he had confidence in them. Let's

go back to Paul and Silas being in. After that,

there was an earthquake that shook the jail until.

There was a jail break. You'll know the story was

his name, Jason the jailor.

When there's something like that. Anyway, he went to the

Philippian jailer and he said, don't do yourself any harm.

There's not gonna be any of us. Leave you responsible

for this escape. We will report him, and we will

sign our own names on the roll call book. And

because of this, sir, Paul got to go home with

the jailor. How many of you know that's a true story.

It's in the Bible.

He walks right out of solitary confinement. It walks right

into the jailor's house. And you know what happened in

the taylor's house, the jailor and his tire family.

God said, I'm.

Telling you there's a church being bilt here. The Macedonian

call is coming to fruition.

That man did not really come up, sir, because come

help us for no reason.

I want you to know your labor's not invaded. Dad

and Mama, you pucked up your roots.

He went on away. So and you tell him the startable.

I want you to know the.

Tennessee who will be better than the start Yes, there's

a lot of rooting, Yes, there's a lot of cheering

when you start the race, then I have to ar

h a racer. There's always amusin.

See your cheer, my sid there's a mouse sincere cheer her.

Look at the end of the roadies.

In fact, Paul did not tell the Philippian jailer that

he would be good enough to save himself.

Y'all heard brother Roder Butler say tonight. He said you

can't save him.

Paul did not tell the Philippian jailor be on your

best behavior and you will be He did not.

Tell the Philippian jail don't beat any more men or

God that man shouldn't do that.

But he didn't try to tell him what to do

to be saved.

He said, believe on the Lord Jesus, and.

You shall be saved.

Listen what Jesus began. He will finish. What Jesus began,

he will finish. I gotta get you out there to

get bowls at Chilly. I'm not one just to say

something just to be heard. If I'm saying something, it's

not as one.

That beats the air.

I promise there's a reason for why I say something.

If you're around me after church or before church, I'm

a man of very few words.

I am a listener, not a talker.

Everybody that knows Brother Howell knows I'd rather hear you

talk than myself talk. The Apostle Paul sister, which somehow

he perceived, I've got a role to play in the

establishment of this church in Philippie, and there's a lot

of you. You're here right now because you have a

role to play. We am not yet figured out the

placement of every person in this work, but I guarantee

you this, Once you get placed there, you gonna go

to Duncan Dona and buy the drink of your choice

and come back and say, I know now why I'm

telling you later on in life, Sister Howe and Iron

figuring out it was worth and shitting now when I

don't pretold you tonight and I'm.

Telling you you her and Apostle Paul saw.

That ministerious support coming in up for church mother Lydia.

He knew I made a right dec he said, you

don't man of God. When he saw them souls responding

to the preacher and that Church of Philippi, he knew

by the tyler, he knew Brother won't cap He knew,

Brother Jesse, I must do my part to seek God's

will for this people fulfilled in their lifetime. In their lifetime,

Brother Jeremiah, some of them have been asking for last

Wednesday Night's message. I talked about seeing the goodness of

God and the land of the living in their lifetime,

and I want to put forth this right here, right now.

You can see some good things in your lifetime. After

looking back on his ministry, the Apostle Paul felt like

he needed to let the young Bishop Timothy know that

Sacred Timothy chapter number four and verse number seven, something

that I feel like you thought like was nibbling at.

The mine or the brainstem of Timothy. And he knew

if he got a hold of Timothy, he would.

Not finish his race again nibbling at the frame stem

of the young Bishop Timothy, which minute would paralyze the church,

paralzed the ministry, and paralyzed the experiences of Timothy.

It's the same man that told the same young man,

you stir up the depth that is within you. The

same general telling the young general, I have fought a

good fight. I have finished my course. I have kept

the faith you turned.

It said, when the sunner man.

Comes, shall he find faith? He didn't ask will he

find hope? He didn't ask when he find love? Except

pool he fop faith. Paul had an.

Assurance that he had completed his assignment at this point.

There's some of you.

You're just get started. There's some of you in this building.

You know as good as I do, you're close.

To finishing your assignment.

In fact, when you go to look at your book,

you realize there's a whole lot more.

Pages to the left than there are to the right.

When you look on the boat of life, you see

a whole lot more bridges behind you than knows that

you were yet to go under. Paul knew I'm about

done for everywhere I go, He would thank Brother Jacob.

The spirit of God has prophesied through Agabus and other

men of God and have certain places that great harm

is coming my way.

I want you to know that Paul knew I would

go to Rome.

He would think.

Paul understood as the how that there would be great persecution,

that possibly including his death. At wrong, Paul found great

strength and and encouragement under.

The executioner of Nero.

As the executioner began to bring that sword down upon

his neck.

There is no doubt.

Apostle Paul realized, I have reached the finished line.

Now come on, I'm calling you.

Brother Walder, but no, Brother Jesse. Howell encouraged our spirits

to not talking about our sweet home name Heaven. There's

somebody you fear in death. Every time you feel a

little issue in your body, you're worried about dying. What

in the world are you worried about, pat Paul to

be absent in the body's to be present with the Lord.

I'm telling you what's wrong. We're crossing the feedish line.

Paul had an assurance that he had completed his assignments

through the power of God. He had completed the assignments

concerning his own life and concerning helping others. Remember at

the Saul of Tarsi's conversion, at the time of his

name change, Paul had a work to do immediately at

the time of his conversion, when a spiritual metamorphosis took place,

and he became a new creature, when the murderer became

the messenger, when the persecutor became the promoter.

When Saul became Paul.

There was a work for him to do, and the

church at law Arts did not want him to work

amongst them. I said, the church at Barge did not

want him to work amongst them because of his rat sheet,

because of his background, because.

Of what would have been going on in the.

Jerusalem wireless What was then spoken about this man assault

of Tarsism. But the Holy Ghost tell Father he didn't

need the Holy Ghost to preach the Holy Ghost field

brother and Anisa. Fortunately he was able to hear from God.

Everybody else is missing it. And because an Anisa had

heard from God, he knew.

I can receive this man into my house. He can

tamping me for three days, and after three days I

can play going up.

He can receive the Holy ghostuff, he can receive a

sight of because had another I said, was.

That spirit deal the spirit love brother?

It was the spirit of God that said, this is

a chosen mestal undo me. In other words, the spirit

of God was saying, Hey, God's gonna use him. God's

gonna work through him. Do y'all remember when the counsel,

the Judai Isers, that Judaism counsel.

Was meeting, that convened and they were meeting having.

Conversation concerning and generating conspiracy concerning Christ.

Y'all will remember brother Nathaniel.

They were talking about this and talking about that, how

we should shut down his ministry.

And Gabel, right, the one that.

Tutored the great Apostle Paul, the man Gabel, he said, hey,

you better.

Leave it alone, because if this is a God, you're.

Fighting in vain.

If this is a God, come on now, you're fighting

in vain. And if it's God a god, it will

come to nothing. I wonder if the Apostle Paul heard

about what given you? Ord Gamel said, come on, are

you all getting what I said? Even the men knew.

If God's inting this, God's gonna finish it.

I'm not worried about Goe with finishing the article because

God told him to start it.

Because God was so much hitter. God's gonna penish it. Hobo,

I don't get all the gold for wood. I've been

ude out of gold for wood. I told right, God

can make them trees come back in twenty five years.

It's done sixty years. Oh, I feel I'm preaching. Chilly's

calling me. The spirit's willing. The belly's weak. Huh, the

belly is weak, Brother Walter, Should I keep preaching I'm

telling me to keep preaching. Paul knew God would finish it.

Paul knew God would finish his sister Hell because of

the way it began, because of the way my ministry began.

Sister how has an idea God will finish.

It the way your salvation began? Sister Hell, you might

have been a prodigal girl on about side. Are gone out.

But everybody that knew Janet Hill knew something happened. Right Terry,

I don't know what chack of where it happened. You

could tell me sometime. I'm glad to have you here,

Sister Janet Hill. But they knew whatever it was that

walked in and threw the devil out is there the

state they ain't come on now.

I feel like preaching.

In the last two days, I've heard from two.

Prodigals of this church. Yes they still love me. Both

of them are women, and my wife and I dear

to be love. God has spoken to us that the

prodigals would one to come home. In the last two days,

I've heard from two of them, one one day and

another one today. And you know what they said, I'm

about ready to come home. You know what they've been

telling me I remember that message you preaching why we

all kept get alone?

Well, come on now, I'm telling you, God, I can't

fit us up.

Who walk he began now in the lives of them,

the internet, in the lives of them mean God.

Can perfect that concerned here, When the devil tells you

you're not gonna make it, when the devil tells you

you're nothing, when the devil tells you.

You're worthness, you ought to tell him, well, why didn't

come saved me there?

Because you don't lie us more saving He's.

Tarpy in my blood, keep tying me in the mile.

He wreckted me up to finish me as the claim

the hand of the potter. He will finish that concerning you.

I'm feeling the holy ghost of God in this building

right now, at this moment, a powerful word, Apostle Paul

yoused finish.

I've done a lot of draw war work.

Over the years. Recently, just foolishly, I bought a draw wallchack.

Wondering I fact, fifty years of age, I would decided

to start a drywall business again. But when their shouldiers

get sore at fifty years of age, brother water, I

think i'd.

Brother push a pencil, then left drive off.

Sometimes when I'm pushing a pencil and doing some engineering work,

I think I'd rather be lifting.

Some trywall drinking the men do again.

I bought that trywalk jack in a thought, man, the

trywall I could have hung back when I was a

young man, or something like this. I told the hawlbos,

play with that thing, man, familiarize yourself with that. Maybe

I could make a few bucks off of you if

you decide to hang some trywof.

But I said, you know, it's hard for me to

believe that.

Only about twenty years ago, between probably the age of

twenty seven had thirty three, I could.

Take a four by twelve almost by myself with a tea.

Bott wooden jack with about five little boys running around,

with my screw gun in one hand and a handful

a triwall screw and screws in the other.

And I could fish it up there, push that tee

bar up, kick it up tight, and hang.

That trawwof just out to myself. Now, I'm telling you

that's a lot harder to do than you think it is.

And there was something I never wanted to do. I

could do it, but I just fised doing it, and

that was finishing up the drywall.

I want to Simon out to somebody else he calls her.

Other details involved. If he calls her for the critics,

that will look old.

Because my nature I'm a perfection, so that I didn't

want to do anything less than perfect.

Well, I want you to know it's a perfect time

and God's time, and say, you know, I want you

to know what.

God will finish it perfectly. Concerning you, he is a finishing.

Not over. Did he roughly frame you when you were

rough around the edges?

He'll finish it, impossor Paul, speaking in the Action at

twenty and twenty four, Louke the blood physician recorded it,

thinking with me is the doctor that.

Knew I better finish this prescription that Pace had better

finish that prescribed medicine, Richard, and better finish the surgical procedure.

And from the Luke the brother positions writing us down,

and Paul said, concerning all this stuff.

That was going on, y'all know what he went through.

I mean, that man went through so much.

He said, But none of these things move me, neither.

Count on my life, dear under myself, so that I

might finish my course, none of these things move me,

neither count on my life. Dear under myself, so that

I may finish my course with a joy. With How

you gonna finish with joy? How you gonna finish if

you ain't up a cancer with joy? How you gonna

finish if you got copd with joy? How you gonna

preach when you're so sick like everybody else in your church?

With joy? Because he he's the water that helps us

give us our course.

He said, so that I might finish my course with

joy in the ministry which I ever see to the

Lord Jesus to testify the gospel of.

The grace of God.

Paul said this because everywhere he went, the Holy Ghost

is witnessing that bonds and afflictions wait him.

How many of you want to finish out tomorrow?

If be heading is the vehicle that you're going to

take to go across the finish lining. Not many hands

went up right now? How many of you say, well,

I'd like to die after a good thick bull of chilli.

There's a bunch of hands going up by Paul knew

God would finish when he started in his life. Remember,

don't ever forget what God has done already. He won't

have a problem facing the future. If you will remember

the victories of the past, you won't have a problem

facing the fights and the battles of the future.

If you will remember the victories of the past. Hey,

you need to remember. He loved you when you was

at your worst. He loved you when you were at

your worst, when you were a drunkard, whenever you were,

whatever you were, he loved you.

And now you're striving to please him so desperately that

you feel like you've failed him just a little bit.

And then the devil hollers at you and says, you

ain't gonna finish.

That's right, you won't finish, but he will help you finish.

And because he will help you finish, you will finish.

You know what, Brother Jesse, I was praying about this

that I thought, Lord, what was Apostle Paul looking back to?

And it seemed about the Lord whispered into my heart.

He said, Jeremy, what did Apostle Paul talk most often about.

When he was speaking? Does anybody know what did Apostle

Paul refer back to most often when he was speaking

to people? That experience he had that encounter on the

Damascus road. I was on my road to Damascus. I

was on my way. I was on that dusty road

to Damascus.

What he was doing when he was out there floating

on driftwood, or when he was floating on a piece

of a.

Ship, bobbing up and down like the.

Court, or when he was grabbing his wrist because of

surfing or a viper Ben he's shaking it off in

the fire.

He's remembering, I'm not gonna die yet, because he ain't

finished with me yet.

When he's bobbing up and down in I'm rereditor the

Mediterranean Sea or whatever. See he was bobbing up and

down there, and sharks are circling him, Brother Jesse, he

could think, that's not the nibble of a shark, that's

the nibble of a jellyfish.

Because God ain't through with me yet.

There's some of you thinking sharks that are at your

toes when it's jellyfish, Well, I'm scared of a jellyfish.

You ought to use more wisdom than that, because not

every one of them are venomous lash poisonous. There's some

of them you pick up, slap it on top of

your head, I've done it just to teach my boys

the difference and the ones that are venomous and the

ones that are just basically transparent.

Jell o.

But I mean, we feel like just because we're in

a circumstance or a predicament, how am I gonna get

out of this?

I'm in a sickness, I've been an illness.

How am I gonna get out of this? Is this

a death sentence? The doctor told me I need to

change my diet. Is this a death sentence? Preacher, I'm

not gonna finish, y't I'll never get to drive, I'll

never get to get married, I'll never see my grandkids,

I'll never.

Get the Holy ghost?

Do you know the same God that touched you in

that one service will mean the same one that baptizes you.

Here the holy ghost and with power, just a grace.

That's right, we can call fire down around here, your

holy ghost power. Colo mean, now, I'm telling you, if

God same till he can sac the pi, and if

he sunk the pie till he kill you, where the

holy ghost just as easy as the same truth, he

can fill you.

With a hole of ghost. He lost the penacing in

the fire. I said God, Walster, finish it in the

fire phrase.

He kept referring back to that experience on the Dabastiss road.

He Brews, chapter number twelve and verse number two. Paul

right to the Jewish believers. Here, he said, looking under Jesus,

the author and the finisher of our faith, who for

the joy that was set before him, endured the cross,

despising the shame, and is setting down at the right

hand of the throne.

Up God, y'all thinking.

When Jesus set down at the right hand of the Father,

he complained, the Father probably said, son, I need one

of my sons to come here. Come on over here,

brother Nathaniel, quickly sitting down right there. Just gotta squap down. Okay,

we gotta make shift. Thrown here, put your hand.

On my throne.

Son, you said it's finished.

Roll that hand over, boy, forever you will bear in

your body to Martins, Paul said, in this life he

walked through, he buried him his body, he bore his

body the mark. But when Apostle Paul got to heaven,

he got a new body. Because Jesus will never play

secret filled in anybody.

And so when the Father put his herd on the

son said, roll it over, boy, was it worth it?

Was it worth it?

Well?

The butler, the father could put that index finger in

that nail printing at wrist.

You know what Jesus will say, she was worth it?

Who she bore?

It was worth the church, it was worth Ashley good

Dana Goodens, Janet here sending neither Lord Wood Danvers going on, yes, sir,

she worked it, and Jesus say yes, she was worth it.

And then here's what Jesus was saying. Father ain't yet

finished up. She's still making herself ready. I'm still sending

over Dona.

Are you free healing? Oh?

I'm still healing or other diseesus. I started preaching sick,

but I ain't sick right now. I've totally I started

feeling weak, but I ain't feeling weak right now.

I don't believe we're gonna have to die with somebody's illnesses.

I told her sister House she's been battling that's a

verear case of COPD for a little over two.

Years now, almost two and a half years. I told

her on January one, I said I have entered war

with safety, and.

I said, I want this to be your year that

trick heels. I don't believe she's gonna have to die.

I struggle for breath. My dear brother said.

One time he was battling.

If you know who he is, to keep his identity quiet,

I don't wanna name him, but he said he was

battling because he was losing his vision, and he was

pastoring to church. And I feel the Holy goods right

here as I'm preaching, and I'm gonna roll into this illustration.

And that dear brother was probably at that time in

his early thirties and mid thirties.

And he said he was fighting the mind battle system,

that he's gonna end up going blind and not be

able to pastor his church, or that he'd have to

try to pastor blind. He was already losing his vision.

And some of these younger preachers of this generation, they're

so good at reading books and getting their books from

other preachers, and their sermons out of those books that

they get from other preachers. This right here didn't come

out of the book. They want to shove his own

great men of God out. And I do believe God

still got some great young preachers.

We've got a bunch of 'em, right here come old

brother Jeremy.

And I believe they are wonderful preachers, and I'm not

throwing down on any of them, but they want to

throw these old preachers out.

And their messages.

But I can tell you when that young preacher that

hold in his church, that held that good hold in

his standard, was battling in his mind, Brother elde Moore

called him.

They didn't even know each other.

I think their pasts had crossed briefly, maybe somewhere out west.

And Brother eld Moore said, Brother, and that voice.

That he has, he said, I was praying this morning

and God said, you ain't got a worry about enter,

and he turned it blind.

And that brother said, I've been talking to Brother Eldie Moore.

And anyone along after that. God he old that brother's eyes.

And that's what I told sis to have one. In

January twenty twenty five, we're fixing the pass out anointing

old bottles right here, bring them out, Brother Nathaniel. Little

sister Hollis said, you don't have to enter attorney with

a severe aggressive case of COPD.

You don't have to enter eternity on oxygen.

Come on, brother Philip, you don't you're gonna have to

die something, but you don't have to die cancer.

With joy.

Jesus for the joy that was set before him, endured

the cross, despising the shame, and to set down at

the right hand of the throne of God. Jesus sit

there like Paul, because Jesus knew his appointment and his assignment.

Come on, now, I'm telling you you're gonna endourge Us

like Paul and Jesus did, because you know your appointment

and you know your assignment. You know you didn't stumbled

into the bethelo in this church. You know you're appointed

of God to be here.

And you know what ofs God started.

No matter if you're a young brother or widow old,

God's gonna finish it. I said, you know that God's

gonna finish it.

You know why Jesus the sot sided about facing the cross.

And going through that gruesome execution because he remembered the beginning.

I said, he remembered the beginning.

Apostle Paul, remember the grace of America. It took place

on the Damascus Road. Let's stand at this time, so

Paul is telling the members of the church in PHILIPPI,

I'm confident that the Lord is gonna finish his work.

Brother Nathaniel, Brother Jesse, would you start passing these out,

one per household. Let the Howell family be last, because

we served as people. Let the Howell family be last,

one for household. I tell you, beautiful Bethel, God's gonna

finish it. We wonder will we ever get to where

He intends us to be. It's not going to come

to fulfillment by your own ambition, your own talent, your

own strengths or determination is going to come to pass

because of Him and his spirit.

I was praying, and I will close with this. At

the end of my prayer, I heard the Lord say,

it's not by might, not all power, but by my spirits,

say it the light. And you people are born in

a spirit, and you're walking in the spirit.

And I want you right now to take that fall

of all and I want you to open it, and

I want you to allow every member of your household

to get some of that old on their finger. Brother Caleb,

from right now, you're.

The only man in your household, and you, sister Simmons,

you got your own bottle. But I want you to

to pray for one another. Brother Befford,
