-
Luke, chapter number nine, Verse number fifty eight. Again, is
-
good to see you in the house of the Lord tonight.
-
Is so good to be among people of like precious faith,
-
people that have the same common denominator.
-
A love for our Lord Jesus Christ, making him the
-
number one priority of their lives.
-
Again, Man, direct her attention to Luke chapter number two,
-
Verses number four through seven, and Brother Nathaniel Luke chapter
-
number nine, verse number fifty eight, and Brother Jesse Second Christians,
-
Chapter number six and verse number two. Brother Nathaniel, would
-
you read that Luke Chapter number nine, verse number fifty eight,
-
And Jesus said, unto him, foxes have holes and birds
-
of the air have nests, but the son.
-
Of Man had not where to lay his head.
-
How many of you believe that was very disappointing when
-
the disciples of Jesus heard him speak that I want
-
to preach a man is the Holy Ghost titled Heavenly Hospitality.
-
Heavenly Hospitality, Brother Jesse seca Corinthians, Chapter number six and
-
verse number two.
-
For he's saying, I have heard THEE in a time
-
accepted and in the day of salvation, how I suffered THEE.
-
Behold now is the accepted time. Behold, now is the
-
day of salvation.
-
Ay Man, I believe now is the accepted time for somebody.
-
There is an appointed time, God's appointed time, and there
-
is an accepted time, God's accepted time. All right, let's
-
stand for the reading of our golden text, Luke, chapter
-
number two, verses number four through seven. The Bible says
-
that Joseph also went up from Galilee out of the
-
city of Nazareth into Judea, into the city of David,
-
which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house
-
and lineage of David, to be taxed with Mary his.
-
Espouse, wife, being great with child, and so it.
-
Was that while they were there, the days were accomplished
-
that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her
-
first born son and wrapped him in swaddenly closed and
-
laid him in a manger, because there was no room
-
for them in the end. Will you read the latter
-
part of verse number seven with to be because there
-
was no room for them in the end.
-
Again, I want to preach a.
-
Message the Holy Ghost titled Heavenly Hospitality, which to stretch
-
your hand towards Heaven.
-
And asked the Lord to help us in this place.
-
Heavenly Father, I thank you so much for the opportunity
-
to be in the house of the Lord tonight.
-
I did not ask for this station.
-
You put me here, and I prayed that I would
-
be able to do what you have asked me to do,
-
that I would accept this also responsibility as pastor of
-
this church, and feet your sheep. They are your people
-
and the sheep of your pastor. I pray that you
-
would annoy it me, said a guard in my mouth,
-
and help me to say the things you would have
-
me to say, nothing more or less, and bought the
-
ears of this not people, that they might hear what
-
the Spirit of God says or to the church through.
-
The preach word, through your written word.
-
May these sayings go below the shoulders, going to the
-
soul and the spirit of the man, not just in
-
one ear and out the other. I pray that we
-
would depart this place joyfully and not sorrowfully. In Jesus'
-
name in the church said amen again. Reading Luke chapter
-
number two and verse number seven, the Bible said, and
-
she brought forth her first born son and wrapped him
-
in swaddened and closed and laid him in a manger
-
because there was no room for them in the end.
-
Our text is found in a New Testament book of
-
the Holy Bible Book. The members of Bethel Holiness Church.
-
Are no strangers to the author of this wonderful book
-
or the other writing of Luke, the great Man of
-
God that.
-
Traveled with the Great Apostle Paul.
-
Most of the people in this building understand that he
-
was a well beloved physician. Luke knew the Disciples of
-
Jesus personally, and he accompanied the Apostle Paul on his
-
missionary journey and during his last trip to Jerusalem, and
-
also after Apostle Paul set.
-
Forth to go to Rome.
-
Luke was found to be a faithful travel companion. He
-
would have been most familiar with the burden and stress
-
of traveling. How many of you are familiar with the
-
stress and the burden of traveling. There's a lot of
-
people in this building tonight that do not travel very often,
-
and because of your lack of familiarity with traveling, you
-
find to be a very stressful situation. The process of
-
packing and getting ready for a trip, the preparation is
-
very bird and some too many people in this building,
-
while amongst you, there are people that are very familiar
-
with traveling. Brother Nathaniel and I travel quite frequently. Sister
-
Howell and I travel quite often, and you could say
-
that Sister Howell is an expert concerning preparing for a trip.
-
I have been.
-
Amazed at times the careful planning that goes into one
-
of our trips by Sister Howell. She is truly a
-
wonderful travel companion.
-
And I'm sure that Apostle Paul.
-
Knew exactly what he was doing when he allowed to
-
Loop the beloved Position to travel alongside of him.
-
You will find that.
-
Apostle Paul was not one to allow somebody to just
-
work through through the process haphazardly. He was not one
-
to permit a laxaday'sical attitude.
-
Concerning the ministry.
-
You will find that one time when he was working,
-
he was building tents according to the Word of God,
-
working as a tent maker, and I have no doubt
-
whatsoever that he had a good work ethic.
-
I've got so much I want to pour into you
-
all tonight.
-
I ask you to.
-
Pray for me that I will not hold you too long.
-
Having not preached for a little while. Now I've got
-
some things that I need to take, God take care
-
of concerning you.
-
But when you.
-
Think about Luke, you think about somebody that understood what
-
good hospitality would mean. This was a man that had
-
a medical practice. If he lived today, if you were
-
to look at the reviews online, he would be a
-
five star rated position because in the Word of God,
-
there are no lie and it was recorded in the
-
Word of God that Luke was of a loved position,
-
and so he had wonderful bedside manners.
-
I feel like he was a man that was well
-
spoken when he spoke to those that would come into
-
his medical practice.
-
He was somebody that was very sensitive to their needs.
-
And one that would follow through.
-
And I know that that's very important to a lot
-
of people in this building tonight.
-
You've heard from sister Starrett.
-
She was hospitalized recently and she sat over there at
-
the Gulf Coast Town Center in Fort Myers.
-
She was treated so well.
-
What she was saying is everybody was so hospitable, and
-
everybody was so considerate, and they took such good care
-
of me, and so Apostle Paul was blessed to have
-
a man like Luke traveling with him. And I wonder
-
just how all involved was Luke concerning their lodging and
-
other arrangements. Brother Nathaniel, I feel like concerning maybe some
-
of the physical.
-
Ailments of the Apostle Paul and.
-
The other fellow laborers, there's no doubt that Luke was
-
the one that would tend to those needs.
-
He would be the one that would mend the wounds,
-
one that would tend.
-
To the bruises, one that would treat the infection. So
-
this man, by nature, he would have been a very
-
hospitable man.
-
And I believe that he.
-
Was heaven sent, and I want to preach a message
-
the Holy Ghost title to heavenly hospitality. I believe the
-
Lord grace the ministry of the great Apostle Paul with
-
this beautiful personality, the beloved position Loot. Not only did
-
he grace the beautiful ministry of the Apostle Paul, but
-
he graced the sacred written by allowing the Doctor to
-
write these wonderful treaties that we find in this wonderful
-
Divide librariy, specifically Luke's Gospel and also the Book of Acts. Sister,
-
how when I think of your proper planning and preparation,
-
I find you to be a wonderful travel partner. So
-
this man would have been a wonderful travel partner. I'm
-
sure that he had treated many people of different nationalities
-
that he would not have been a racist or bigot.
-
He would have been.
-
Somebody that was very mindful of those that were in need,
-
regardless of their financial status or their political situation.
-
This was a man that put the needs of others
-
ahead of himself. So what a blessing he was to
-
the great apostle.
-
Paul. Let me ask you something right here, right now,
-
as you're sitting in that pew. Are you a bless
-
to those brothers and sisters sitting in that view next
-
to you?
-
Are you a beautiful personality in your local home church?
-
Are you a beautiful person.
-
And personality within the family of God? I remember one time,
-
Sister Howling, I set out to go on a trip,
-
and it was just on a moment's notice of God
-
had put it in my heart to travel a great distance.
-
I gave her little time to prepare properly, but within
-
an hour and a half she had got prepared for
-
eight people to sit out on a journey, and we
-
embarked on that journey, not knowing.
-
Exactly where we were to go. But thank God, we
-
were appointed.
-
We had a divide appointment to meet somebody.
-
And you know what, God honored Sister Howl's obedience.
-
She did not fight or fuss with me because of
-
the life I can notice. Not immediately she responded, some
-
of you aren't getting this.
-
I said at the beginning of this message, it is
-
an accepted time, and it was an appointed time. Sister
-
Hall and I knew right then that God had spoken
-
to us that we needed to move out and to
-
go into unfamiliar territory. And we met up with somebody
-
that was in dire need spiritually.
-
And I remember as we were.
-
Traveling, we ran into this situation where we were unable
-
to find properate lodging. I remember speaking to one hotel
-
clerk after another. I remember driving from one hotel to
-
the next and asking this question, do.
-
You have somewhere for me and my family to.
-
Stay through the night? Do you have any beds available
-
for a family of age? And for a period of
-
about two to three hours, we were.
-
Told time after time, no, there are.
-
No vacancies here, and sometimes even though the sign was
-
flashing no vacancies and desperation.
-
I would go.
-
There and rittle the door, then.
-
Ask the question, do you have a room for me
-
and my family? You see when went from being happy,
-
go lucky travelers or to becoming weary travelers. And you
-
know when you get weary you need some better lay ahead.
-
I want you to look at our golden text here
-
right now.
-
The latter part of loop two and.
-
Seven said because there was no room for them.
-
In the end, we were on a trip.
-
We think and feel it's best to put our family
-
in the very best room in bed that we can afford.
-
I remember getting to a point where I'd say, just
-
a room, and we be willing to stay up just
-
about anywhere. I'm too tired to drive that I'm carrying
-
precious car there, leave me some rest.
-
It didn't matter to me if it was fifty.
-
Dollars to stay there, one hundred and fifty dollars. You
-
may say, well, I would have slept in the car.
-
We tried that simple water.
-
But when you've got a family of acor and they're
-
trying to sleep in the car and everything, it doesn't
-
work that way that you think it does. You might
-
be able to slide out there and you pick up
-
truck and break.
-
Time and catch some Caesar and the rest lit over a.
-
Period for thirty minutes. But when you've got a family
-
of anker, there is no way that.
-
Anybody's gonna get any rest.
-
You see, we.
-
Don't believe that our family belongs in an optomotive growd.
-
We don't believe that our family belongs here behind the
-
dubster and the local the restaurant of some talent.
-
We don't believe that.
-
Our family belongs in the busider with a carpetents wort shop.
-
We don't read that our family belongs to in the
-
whole style. With that came a time concerning crist with
-
his dad and Molly had come to Bethlehem after being taxed,
-
after receiving.
-
The notification of senses.
-
And after reporting that with about two to three thousand
-
other people in they find that there is no room
-
at all way to the away. It does not matter
-
how much money they content, it does not.
-
Matter head how tired they are, how they are, they're.
-
Simply no ro court.
-
Jesus, I'm telling you that there's something that Jesus.
-
He never took up.
-
That's something that Jesus never forgot when us down and
-
mom were changing the lamb go to.
-
There's activity in their own family.
-
They're all near kidsmen that everybody else in town sending
-
no man where mess her.
-
We don't care how come around we are. We don't camp.
-
Expiritsing there, contractions are not.
-
There is simply no vacancy.
-
Jesus dipped along in a stable adjoining to the main house.
-
We sing the.
-
Song away and a manger that it sounds so pretty.
-
We seek the song away and a manger that it
-
sounds so pretty. Oh you're listening that we sing the
-
song away in a.
-
Manger that it sounds so pretty. But really what should
-
be said is and what should be sung?
-
Us away in a feeding trauta. I said away in
-
a feeding trauma. There was no room in the end,
-
and the baby has found himself in the.
-
Feed trouper on an animals.
-
He'd come on now, I want you to know whom tony.
-
I've seen it over the last monser, Jesus says, done
-
everything he can to come up in your heart to
-
change your life, and the set up resident Sena in
-
your heart. When I've witnessed.
-
Amaking heart and I have in these pretty.
-
Spirit as you said, no, you dvakan see no breaks,
-
no room for.
-
The Holy Ghost to move in, no room for salvation.
-
All times that Jesus did not belong in a stable.
-
He belonged in every room in bethel Ham, I said.
-
Already the population a bethel Ham was probably between two
-
thousand to three thousand people around the time of the
-
birth of Christ. I know that a sister Charity.
-
Howell had I been living in that day in.
-
Time, and she had been praying to the Holy Ghost
-
as to what was going on, she would have had a.
-
Place prepared, I said, Sister.
-
Charity Hallow would have had.
-
A place prepared it.
-
It does not matter if you're a vision this foolisher
-
there amerging this wiza. It doesn't matter if you're gave
-
a pastor hallis churcher, if you're going to the Penecostal church,
-
the church.
-
And godda ca Syria Gada, or a.
-
Holiness churcher or a Baptist churcher.
-
You have there your sending me a chase version. Oh God,
-
you're not clear the something me ha started the world.
-
Let me will prepare your sapper, wouldn't nobody's checking up,
-
old guy.
-
We will prepare your sap Nobody says, pray, we'll prepare yourself.
-
We're gonna preacher says, preach your Bible. The answer that
-
is no, ten thousand times no. God spoke to me
-
concerning three or four in this field, and you said.
-
I'm prepared, I promise.
-
I could preach a serm entitled I'm preparing, I promise,
-
and you conclude with this, that's a lie. That statement
-
is a lie. It doesn't matter your person, how frequent
-
you attend services. It doesn't matter how many alter services
-
you participate, how many altars.
-
You he go for a narration and lotivity of your.
-
Stale in the altar, you can tell.
-
When somebody there has prepared.
-
Him a room.
-
The Christmas song goes.
-
Who like this, let every heart prepare him.
-
I'm here and not to ask you a question. Have
-
you been hospitable to the Lord?
-
And you just like those others?
-
This said, I've got.
-
No tie for this that, I've got.
-
No room for this.
-
I've got a social media account, apology.
-
I've got friends that are bad friends. Did I break
-
God's heart on a daily basis?
-
As I disregard the scripture?
-
This send evil communications corrupt good manners.
-
I break the Scripture on a daily BASI by keeping
-
that company. And because of that, slowly but surely, my
-
character is being corrupted. A disregard to preaching of the
-
Holy Ghost, I disregard.
-
The rulin and the sphirit of God.
-
Talks and interpretation comes. It says, throw a messager from heaven.
-
He's interrupting the service, as he did their Life of
-
Mary and Joseph. But you seem to miss her the
-
message of the messenger, and you walk out without your
-
Christmas card. I said, you don't walk her out without.
-
Your piece of mail.
-
An aunt of.
-
Mine asked me two weeks ago. She said, Rotter, he's
-
your new her mailing address.
-
I gave it to her.
-
I looked for it every day, I.
-
Pretill two days ago, and she said, did you get
-
her your Christmas card?
-
I said no, ma'am, I did not. She said, I
-
suspect her.
-
It was not the others. I went into the postopice.
-
I told the pushmaster I wanted to mail it.
-
They nailed me.
-
They charged me, she said, but they forgot her to
-
stand stampa every letter.
-
She said, you would have talked.
-
To her if I went into the.
-
Post office at the postmaster.
-
We're not over RETI want Brissa a man that she.
-
Said, I've been receiving the card a.
-
To a card, a to a card.
-
As weturned this sender. We know post this Stampa. Hold it.
-
I'm here tonight to tell you you got a Christmas card.
-
In your to you and you're nowhere.
-
Holloa.
-
I've seen it before. Good people were given the arts.
-
Good people were great, hearts, hospital people. We'll sacrifice five
-
to ten dollars and buy some Christmas cards on sale
-
the year before so that they can give their fellow Christian.
-
They're a fellow church member a card the next year.
-
Yeah, it was at a discount of price, but it
-
meant so much because they had prepared and they had
-
provided brother.
-
The thing that they had the laws, and they had
-
the prophets.
-
It should not have been a number of oriental pagan
-
kings coming to find Jesus. There shouldn't have been a
-
bunch of shepherds over there in the fiod by night
-
watching the sheep coming to find Jesus. They should have
-
been better than Motil six. I said, it should have been.
-
Better the Motial six. When they got to Bethlehem, every
-
mama should have been on the porch.
-
They never got it. It should have been on the roadside.
-
And say, a co who out here Jesus say.
-
There's a place for you right here.
-
I tell the Holy Ghost in this place. Huh, I
-
tell the Holy.
-
Ghost in this place.
-
Let every heart prepare him room. Jesus did belong in
-
a stable a joined to the main house.
-
It probably wasn't as filthy.
-
As a peach stye, but I'm.
-
Sure the smells and work to appealing for a mother
-
who was.
-
Holding a tiny new born.
-
I said, tonight, you have not prepared a room for
-
the King of Gay. The Bible said, open up and
-
never rusting doors.
-
Well, I've never seen.
-
A door passing my workman of the stone that was elastic.
-
That I telling you the those of the the nose
-
of the God, and that there wasn't.
-
The people of God.
-
Got to be open for the King. The there with a.
-
Coma hard prepare.
-
No roode, no roode that echo through Bethlehem that night.
-
The land of David's Nativity, the Land of Joseph and
-
Mary's lineage.
-
One gospel writer recorded the lineage of Joseph, Joseph, the
-
father of Jesus. Not the God was his father, but
-
the earthly father of Jesus.
-
Another gospel writer recorded the lineage of Mary brother Jesse.
-
Why O, why was Bethlehem not await? They knew what time,
-
they knew what season. They had an idea that he
-
was coming here to this day is for every year
-
they dragged a cornerstone and they pretend that they're about
-
to start building the temple again.
-
But then they drag that corner stone back and they
-
put it up, and.
-
They wait till the right time and the right condition.
-
To build the temple.
-
And they're building it for the anti Christ. They take
-
their building it.
-
For the Christ.
-
But the Christ has already come. The class they were
-
looking for had already come. I'm telling you the Bible
-
city came or to his own, and his own received him,
-
not but to his Meny has received him to them,
-
bringing power to be called.
-
The sons of God.
-
I'm telling you, if he is from nowadays to.
-
Drive a corner stone to a.
-
Certain place, they could have went out there breed.
-
Certain season has steal that parture and waited for that
-
purture that I concede.
-
They could have laid it without class. Child and they.
-
Supposedly what expected you tell us, I'm expecting it to happen.
-
I've got a promise.
-
I'm expecting it to take place. I got a promise.
-
I'm gonna get saved, I'm gonna get sanctified.
-
I'm gonna get holding this fielder.
-
Oh come on now, they left, and it.
-
Put baby Jesus in the arms of his.
-
Mother in an animal star.
-
Right where our Lord.
-
Spent his first few knots was no place for the
-
second person of the Godhead to close his eyes, lay
-
his head.
-
And sleep through the knight.
-
Sister staring testify tonight that the nursing staff and the
-
doctors of the Gulf Coast Town Center were more hospitable
-
than the homeowners and the landholders and the shepherds, and
-
also the innkeeper of the town of Bethlehem. O little
-
town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee live.
-
That's exactly right.
-
They slumbered, and they slept, and the Son of God came.
-
And I'm telling you Church, while you're sitting there on that.
-
Pe sir, I'm talking all well, if you will get
-
to night while you slumber, and why you sleep, who's
-
gonna come again?
-
It's time to act.
-
Be I tell o Jesus Christ.
-
They should have been ready. The hospitality culture shouldn't.
-
In real boy, and well prepared.
-
For the amity and the arrival Jesus. After all the
-
teaching I've heard don around, after all the preaching how
-
to know waight came moons Sunday night. They said, that's about.
-
To be an accident.
-
We better in great princross and pray over there, and
-
told people stood up and might say I was protected.
-
You still haven't made room in your heart.
-
You're still in consideration whether or not you want him
-
to live there, whether or not you want him to
-
reside there, whether.
-
Or not you want to be a Christian. My Jesus,
-
how full the holy noess in this place. Yes, the
-
entire town could have been ready.
-
They could have been prepared because, according to description, the
-
daddy of John the Baptist Aaraus, he had a seek
-
of some suspicion there was something about.
-
To go home.
-
We find that there were a man and a woman
-
in the temple that had an idea that something was
-
going on. Wires men, it was more than three probably
-
they had.
-
An idea something was going on.
-
Shepherds had an idea something's going on. And there's a
-
lot of people in this building tonight.
-
They know by the.
-
Sound of this whom no sens in this text and
-
the burden that I've gotten, there's something's going over. I'm
-
telling somebody it's now an effort. You are open up
-
that door and that elsa ver be closed up for effort.
-
You've got one opportunity, better.
-
Helm, what are you gotta do with it?
-
I said, You've got one opportunity within the wig off history.
-
That's the hammer, and what will you do with it?
-
You talking about wasted and lost opportunity? Wouldn't have been
-
better that the scriptures had a red lock this and
-
there was a certain man and a certain woman. It'd
-
been fasting and praying, and they had all in their lamps.
-
You know, montell six. They made themselves a lot of
-
business and they done a lot of business Center because
-
of this slogan.
-
We'll keep the light on for you. I can remember
-
the voice of that man.
-
I can hear it right now, that coinside of my
-
heart that he has him at the end of that
-
advertising commercial saying and we'll keep the light on for you,
-
but we'll leave the light on for you, Brother Jesse,
-
would have read a lot better.
-
The scripture would have recorded that there was somebody that
-
was somewhat in tune.
-
With the will of God, somebody that had been so
-
close to God that the heavens that could.
-
Have come and said, there's a map to be sucking
-
come to you.
-
Second to nothing that's gonna happened.
-
To Bethel head.
-
You may think them the greatest circle. Get Bethel Hemn's case.
-
It's David that I'm telling you.
-
Here, and I tell you in Solomon's.
-
Here, little Beth of him? Why why are you still,
-
little Beth of him? Why do you not sung ry?
-
I know this tight season, I know you being nothing.
-
I know there's a census that don't miss out on
-
the opportunity.
-
I suspect a lot of those people do the season.
-
They knew it was census time, and everybody had to
-
be accounted for, everybody had.
-
To be spoken for.
-
And I'm sure there were some that had Hebrew airbnbs,
-
Bethlehem airbnbs. Hey stranger, what you're doing with it? Hey stranger?
-
How about turning in here. I'll rench your room for
-
the night. I'll let you stay there.
-
Brother Nathaniel, I don't believe that God has way of
-
always showing up late.
-
I believe he always shows up hometown. I know a
-
lot of people planning in the minds.
-
Of our kids that Marry and Joseph come dragging in
-
the last minute and this was the result of their
-
poor planet. I don't believe that for one bit. I
-
believe everybody else was subs in that with other things
-
that they were not properly mind to of.
-
Who was really coming and who.
-
Was coming out of there?
-
So much to them.
-
Jesus, Jesus, do you realize who it is just knocking
-
at your heart's door?
-
Do you realize who it is just standing on the
-
other side of that door.
-
This ain't no tidy newborn, Jesus.
-
This ain't no crucial park her canvis die. This is
-
the stalking lion of the tribe of Tula. If you
-
could see here racking alongside of the devil, I'm telling
-
you the devil truly, he's a formidable throe, that he truly.
-
Is an adversary. And I let you and name the devil.
-
This being start by the lion of the Trima Tuna.
-
But you got to be a chila and color if.
-
He were coming her deepens.
-
They had no idea who that was in that pen trough.
-
They had no idea who that little baby was that
-
was wrapped in the swadening clothes with their shepherds.
-
They came and they looked at that baby wrapped hitting them,
-
swadling closed the rags they knew wrapped in. This is
-
the Messagah, This is the of God. This is the
-
one that the heavens lit up about.
-
This is the one that the celestial beings and tell
-
it being celebrated.
-
This is here. Why because in that teen trove was
-
a parallel.
-
Being manifested them. Shepherds knew that sometimes they would take
-
them little lambs, and they would buy them the rats,
-
and they would lay them in the feeding trouvea, teaching
-
them how to lay steel, teaching them how to stay home,
-
and teaching them to know where home was, teaching them to.
-
Know that that was their proper place.
-
It should not be that a preacher would at the
-
preacher serve us after suddenness, after servin us.
-
To tell you, do you know where your place? Seels
-
you a carr titter? You know where your place is?
-
In the kingdom of tighter Why in a little young
-
person who you're taking a dollar kicking.
-
Out of the feed trough. Why he and the herd
-
drunk person when you're thinking of walking away from the
-
House of God.
-
They looked and they saw baby raptors fall. They close
-
and they knew, here he is.
-
He is the sacrificial lamb that the prophets have prophesied about.
-
This is that one.
-
This is he.
-
This is that one that we were expecting to come in.
-
Our cotext that brother Nathaniel read is a scripture that
-
God put upon my heart today. And I have so
-
many directions that.
-
I want to go in.
-
Because I preferred my brothers and let them preach. We
-
had spontaneous meeting. We just followed the leading of the Lord,
-
had some preaching, some exportation of some admonishment, a lot
-
of worship, and a lot of praise. But Brother Jesse,
-
I've got so many directions that I wanted to go
-
in tonight in order to preach the between seventy and
-
eighty people what they need to hear.
-
But today I knew that the Holy Ghost had put
-
me on the right trail when it gave me this
-
code text.
-
I said a little while ago that Jesus never forgotten
-
that nobody made room for him. Jesus never forgot that
-
nobody prepared him room. Jesus never forgotten that nobody made
-
it a priority for him to have a good place
-
to stay. In our cotext you will remember Jesus was
-
approached by some man. The Bible caught him a.
-
Certain man, and that certain man said, Jesus, I will
-
go with you whersoever you go. And Jesus turned on
-
his heels and he said, sir, foxes have.
-
Holes and birds have nest, but the sonner man.
-
Have nowhere to lay his head.
-
I said, our text in one of our context is
-
about Jesus having no room prepared, having enough place for
-
him to lay his head. I said, a little while ago,
-
what I say it again. Jesus did not forget that's something.
-
Body didn't make.
-
Room for him.
-
And he told us, but pretending that they wanted to
-
follow him off, you better understand that they don't have
-
room for me, I said. Jesus knew they would not
-
have room for him.
-
Foxes have holes and birds of the air.
-
Have nessed, but the son of man had not where
-
to lay his head. When he was a tiny infant,
-
nowhere to lay his head. When he's a thirty year
-
old preaching man.
-
He in the sick, raising the dead, casting out their hors,
-
still nowhere to raise his head. But when he spoke
-
to his son disciples, I'm preaching on heaven the hospitality.
-
One time they were concerned, just like you and I
-
kids sometimes when we're taking.
-
An earthly trip. They were burning, and they were worried.
-
And he said that not.
-
Your heart be trouble in chodfort.
-
Do you do her? He said, you will leave God.
-
Believe our showing me that in my father's house there
-
are needing mecht if that when I saw that, a
-
little taught you.
-
I can't it prepare the place for you. But if
-
I go to.
-
Prepare that place for you, you've not got to prepare
-
that that place for me. That I listen to it,
-
that you experience that heaven the hospitality my father's house,
-
everybody we will have.
-
Their place in this hat. There was their place for me.
-
But in my father's house they be a place.
-
For everybody in the holy gusty in this place.
-
A place where says balk of out the swinging, a
-
place for pay by Jesus Merseys welcome Jesse David Power
-
her place prepares by Jesus, who was we checked in,
-
who was despised, or place prepared by such a one
-
as this.
-
There are people such as his earthly parents that prepared
-
a place for him. Joseph prepared a place for this man.
-
Joseph made a little shop for him in a carpenter workshop.
-
Mary made a place for him to study the scriptures,
-
because by the time he was twelve years of age,
-
there was no priest, no prophet, or no philosopher that
-
were a match to him. Martha and Mary and Lazarus
-
preparing the place for him where.
-
So many did not. In fact, Jesus knew that it
-
would be so that people would be.
-
So unhospitable, inhospitable to his followers that Jesus said, you'd
-
better travel lot. You better travel lot, you better take
-
one coat, you better just rely on the fact that
-
I've got a few people here and there that will
-
open up the house to you. And whenever they come in,
-
when you come into their presence, you eat whatever is
-
set before you, and you bless them on the way out.
-
What he was saying is there are some people that
-
will recognize you.
-
Are the messengers of God, and they will treat you
-
with heaven the hospitality. You all remember the Old Testament,
-
the prophet to man of God was traveling from one
-
destination to another by divine appointment at an expointed time,
-
and it accepted time. You know, my woman who was
-
married to a very wealthy man, she perceived that a
-
man of God was passing down their dirt road without
-
anybody offering him a place to stay.
-
And she talked to her wealthy husband and she said,
-
what we need to do is build a room for
-
the man of God. We need to make a place
-
for him.
-
Now, I'm telling you the Hilton, and they probably have
-
a whole lot more bells and whistles.
-
In their room than what the prophet had.
-
The Bible said, she put in that room a table,
-
a chair, and a lamp.
-
And I believe it was something else. I believe there
-
are four things, the three or four things in there.
-
And brother Jesse, in that day and hour, she was
-
being quite hospitable, and because of her hospitality, God blessed.
-
Her in a mighty way.
-
You will remember the scripture of the said you give.
-
That prophet a glass of water, God.
-
Will bless your brother, water lover. I don't know what
-
happens to the man that brings the pastor smoke.
-
Bullet and yellow road.
-
That must be a great blessing to do that.
-
I'm just telling you, when you prepare a room for
-
God's people, when you prepare a place, or.
-
A drink or an issue for God's people, the blessings
-
of God come down. And I cannot understand life.
-
There would be three or four people in this building
-
in him this is.
-
And after they've seen the medical transformation in the live
-
privilage you see, after they've seen your modical.
-
Transformation in a lie for one saying.
-
Y'all, I don't understand why they're theres.
-
Aren't open, and all it's one.
-
That can have allowed her and turn on the vacancy
-
sider and say, I E picked the devil.
-
And I am Jesus, say to come here. I got
-
a room prepared for him.
-
Brother Nathania, I suspect that a sister Rachel had a
-
caught win somehow through the spirit or to a prophet
-
or through her husband, that a preacher.
-
Such as Jesus, the Key of Glory, the Prophet, the Messiah,
-
was coming to town She then gave up her own bedroom.
-
Now gave him her room.
-
I'm asking you here tonight, what is so precious about
-
your being?
-
What is so precious about your place?
-
What is so so.
-
So untouchable in your house that would keep Jesus from
-
coming in?
-
Why will you not allow him to come in?
-
Why are you not issuing a perta and saying, come
-
in Lord? What's going on in there?
-
Anyway? Going on in there?
-
Anyway?
-
Somebody greater than the fence is here. Somebody's coming. They're
-
gonna rate that room one way or not. They're gonna
-
grade that room one way or another. They're gonna raid
-
that house one way or another. They're gonna rate them
-
hidding quarters one way or another. They're gonna rate that
-
basement one way or another. Somebody's coming. Somebody's coming greater
-
than the fence. I'm telling you, the angels of heaven,
-
which Jesus at the head, they're coming.
-
They're coming. The Bible said for those that have.
-
Waited until it's too late, they will cry for the
-
rocks to fall upon them and to hide them from
-
the horrible things that are coming. Should I keep preaching
-
or should we go find something to eat.
-
It's true. He's in brother Ashley his heart. It's true.
-
He's in brother Walter's heart. Is true.
-
He's in brother Aaron Wood's hard is true. He's in
-
brother Dwayne Harrison's heart. But I want to ask you
-
a question. Can he come inside of yours? How about
-
a little sense he's asking you to let him inside.
-
I did a quick search concerning the global hospitality industry.
-
It is currently worth.
-
Five point five trillion dollars. The global hospitality industry. It's
-
worth five point five trillion dollars. But yet that world
-
that is welcoming anything, members of the LGBT community, welcoming
-
anything into their hotels, flying rainbow advertisements on their front doors,
-
asking any monstrous society to come in. Won't let Jesus say,
-
but I want you all to know all souls belong
-
to God, and He's gonna kick some doors in On
-
that day, a little mighty Mitchief could have jumped out
-
of that feeding trough and ran to every door in
-
Bethlehem and kicked every door.
-
And then that little baby could have set.
-
Up in that fiend trough, put his arms on the
-
side of that feeding trough.
-
And said I am and every door in Bethlehem is
-
slum d o.
-
I feel the Holy ghost in this place got to
-
dinner with somebody. The Son of God hung here on
-
the cross, feigning to be tied.
-
There. He said, I could call twelve that house.
-
Allegiance. What he said, hundreds of thousands of angels beg
-
of God, let me go get it.
-
I guarantee you them. Serphilts that sorry was going to
-
the throne. Let's go get in. Pop. I fell it
-
up my soul. God was dealing with somebody for the
-
last time. They n hundreds of thousands, if not me,
-
as the angels was going to the throne. Let me
-
go get it. Hey, I'll talk about.
-
And he hung there, and he went to rooms where
-
the righteous dead were kept, and he said, you.
-
Know what he's wearing. Think good or not? Right?
-
I got half of the hospitality for you, Thank God
-
for Abraham's bosom. But now to be absent the body
-
is to be transent with the Lord. I don't understand
-
what it is about this world that's so fascinate. This
-
kenfigures from making room for Jesus. But when I read
-
of that marriage, suffer the lamb. And when I read
-
of that heavenly hospitality. Then we'll be walking on streets
-
of gold, I said, We'll be walking on a street
-
of gold, A continuous, continual street, continuous street, but no sins.
-
That means something to the construction guys in here, a
-
seamless street. I'm a feeling there, or y'all freeling it?
-
It makes me want to say, God, how many keep it?
-
Just come right on in.
-
You are the innkeeper of your own soul. You are
-
the innkeeper of your own life, and you know what
-
you ought to do. Let your heart door be widely open.
-
Let's stand tonight, let's sob to a court.
-
At that time, I don't say that outdoor him.
-
There may not have been any rooms available in the
-
hearts of the prominent, of.
-
The prestigious people of his day, And in this day
-
there may not be any room in the heart of
-
the prominent the prestigious.
-
There were also no room in the end, and today
-
there may not be any room in the holiday Inn,
-
or the Marriotte, or even the knights End or the
-
family Again, was that?
-
I'm telling you right now?
-
I've stayed at some pretty rough places as a young
-
wol just get started, and there's some places I've stayed in.
-
I never stayed in again. And one of them was
-
called the Knight's end. But I want to hang a
-
sign on my heart tonight, brother Jesse, had said.
-
The King's in, r I wanna hang a side on
-
my heart's floor tonight.
-
Desist the King's in to rebow our heads right now,
-
brother Jesse, we won't hold.
-
You to the pen and tonight. Just let you rest
-
and take a break.
-
Jesus answered that one man, and he said, you know,
-
foxes have holes, the birds of the air have nests.
-
But the son of Manhattan know where to theay his head.
-
And then another would come up, and Jesus said, following me,
-
but he had an excuse. Then another would up, said, Lord,
-
I follow the thee. And Jesus heard him give his excuse.
-
And then Jesus basically told.
-
Them two men they gave those excuses.
-
This now or never.
-
Say with Christians six and two is our final code
-
text is that for he saith, I have heard THEE
-
in the time accepted, and then the day of salvation
-
have I suckled thee. Behold now is the except the
-
time to hope now of the dey of salvation.
-
And that's Paul's quotation of Isaiah forty nine and eight.
-
Paul is saying Jesus's arrival was always in perfect time
-
and brother roducats. I studied the context of both of those.
-
Written passages, Isaiah's passage and also Paul's passage which was
-
a quotation of Isaiah's, and basically both of them great
-
men of God was saying, you better get him, why
-
you can.
-
While the spirit draws. I want us to bow our
-
head and close our eyes.
-
If you need to pray, even if you're saved and
-
you're sank to bart Hod, you's stilled that you need
-
to make him your priority. Let's fill up these altars.
-
If you're a sinner, then you need to be saved.
-
Let's pray in this altar. Let every heart prepare him Rumen,
-
Let every heart prepare him.
-
Thank you, Jesus, Thank you, Jesus, Thank you Jesus.
-
Every room in Bethlehem should be available at a time
-
such as this. Every heart in Bethel should be available
-
when the king comes to a time such as this.
